As last minute arrangements are made ahead of the couple's big day, wedding planner Suzie is mortified when Tom catches sight of his fiancée's dress.

Tom's not too happy about it, nor is he pleased when he learns that Marlon's baking their wedding cake. It's the first he's heard of the idea.

How will Belle feel when she finds out Tom's seen her gown? Is this a bad sign?

There's no time to dwell as the 'Sten do' gets underway. But Tom's left for dust when Belle's loved ones handcuff and take her off to have a proper girlie hen night.
