Bonnie’s Big Day Starts With a Gun and Exploding Feathers and Ends With a Wedding Crasher and Accusations

In his hotel room, Xander tells Gwen how Bonnie came over to invite him to her wedding. He realizes Bonnie stole his key card so she could break in later and grab the briefcase full of cash. He vows she’ll rue the day she crossed him. Gwen feels terrible he’s in this mess because of her. Xander points out it was his choice and implores her not to tell Jack the truth about her miscarriage. If she does, then everything he’s done will be for naught. Not to mention, Jack might not forgive her for lying about Abigail causing her miscarriage. Gwen can’t believe he’s sacrificing for her. She’s worth it, he says. She’s not sure what she’ll tell Jack about her involvement with Synder but at least he’ll know Xander isn’t at fault. He kisses her for luck before she leaves.
