Fantasy brings us up closer together but also pulls us apart
!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!

Marin is in a dream sequence when Jack comes to her door and tells her that he screwed up their relationship and they kiss very passionately. She then wakes up with a real knock at the door: its Gerome.
Stuart (her publisher) sends Marin a gift from Japan some new technology that is yet to be sold in the USA.
Jack and Ben play some hockey and chat in general about stuff: Lynn; relationships; the past and how Jack's ready to move on.
The girls have a get together about the bachelorette party, karaoke and pottery painting. Apparently fun is better when careful planning is involved.
The guys talk with Marin about fantasy and Marin needs some wood. Now that is wood cutting get your minds out of the gutter.
Patrick wants 'beerpong' (aka beer and ping pong) at his bachelor party.
It is established that Marin is both maid of honour and best man for both Patrick and Annie; she’s got double duties.
Someone cuts some wood and leaves outside Marin's door with a bow and note left that says "From Your Lumber (Jack)".
Marin is returning the wood to Jack telling him that she knows a romantic gesture when she sees one and she doesn't want it. Jack is asking her out, Marin is resistant and says no way: to much water under the bridge for that to happen.
The Priest and Sarah are getting it on, like really getting it on that was until she asks if he wants to take it into the bedroom; then he informs her that he can’t sleep with her till he’s married, that now he is a priest.
Jack gets a job offer to work on a ship, a research position for hump back whales, his dream job, for nine months.
Jack is at Marin's house and he has made her a swing really nice for her porch. Marin agrees to go out for a kayak trip with him on the water (the one that was planned a long time ago before Lynn came back). Seems as though the gestures are now working on her: Slowly.
Marin is really fretting about her date with Jack and what she is wearing. Sarah and Marin have a talk about the priest and her, and the fact that they are not gonna be able to sleep with each other.
Marin and Jack are on their date in the lake and Jack apologizes about everything that has been happening with them and they kiss, and Marin falls out of the kayak.
She’s now cold and freezing and she tells Jack that this is exactly what she was afraid of: being swept off her feet and then by a kayak, and she can’t forget what he did to her leaving her in the lurch, etc. She needs time and space.
Patrick puts a note under Marin's door with his fantasy for the party, she looks happy she’s off to plan.
The girls are at the bachelorette party on a cruise ship. Celia thinks it will be a bore considering that there is a craft corner; on the upside there is an open bar.
The guys are having fun drinking, then a big lady called Sapphire shows up.
They all think she’s a stripper, that is until she reveals a ring and tells them she’s a mud wrestler and asks for a volunteer to do it with her. Gerome steps up.
The girls are doing tequila shots and these girls are gonna get drunk. Celia is an emotional drunk and she has the dance fever around the pole, and sings. She is really drunk and singing karaoke.
Annie is thanking Marin for what she has done telling her that she has a gift for bringing people together, then, accidentally, tells her that Jack’s got that job offer. Now Marin is more bummed about the whole situation.
Ben is now the manager of the 'Alaska Huskies', the ice hockey team. He bought the team.
Patrick gets fired up and now he's having a go at the mud wrestling, this happens after the wrestler Sapphire tells him that he is weak.
Sarah's son is sick all over the Priest Eric, and he comes in and stays with her and Maddie for a while.
Patrick is in the ring all fired up and the girls walk in, they are too late Patricks in. Annie looks really worried.
He keeps on saying that he will never quit, he tags Annie in and she jumps into the ring and jumps on Sapphire. Everyone is cheering and heroic music is playing in the background.
It seems that Celia and Annie have come to an understanding about her being with Annie.
Jack is back around dropping off wood for Marin, he tells her that he took the job offer this morning and she is clearly devastated. He says that he may have stayed if she was ready for him, but they need space and that's why he took the job.
Moral of the story: fantasy brings us up closer together but also pulls us apart.
