At the police station Luis is explaining to Tommy and Lou that they caught the guy who shot Johnny.

Maggie then spots a priest who is leaving the cemetery and has a brilliant idea. Maggie approaches the priest and asks him to marry her and Sean right then and there. At first the priest objects but once $500 is offered he becomes much more agreeable. Maggie then yells for all the departing people to come back and tells Sean to steal some flowers from a casket.
Everyone has returned for the wedding ceremony. Sean is really nervous and stumbles over his words then starts sneezing because of the flowers and throws out his back.
