Renee, Lana, Dana Brooke, Eva Marie and Maryse. Lana wants to get an elephant for her wedding, but Maryse tells her about the abuse elephants have to go through for people's entertainment.

Trinity and Jon Uso talk about the incoming draft extension, and Trinity wonders what will happen if they're put on different brands.

Maryse and Mike mentions Lana wanting elephants at her wedding. She likes Rusev and Lana, but doesn't want to contribute to animal abuse. Mike says that if Maryse isn't going, he's not going.

Renee Young is heading home to Toronto with Dean, and is concerned about what her family will think of Dean. Natalya tells her to try to find a happy medium between "Prince William and The Sasquatch."

Trinity does an interviews backstage involving the incoming brand extension, and she knows it will affect her career and her love life. She is nervous.

Renee and Dean head out of the arena. Dean questions the possibility of moving to Canada as well as what Renee's mom will think of her when he woos her away.

Nikki has her final CAT scan.



Renee Young is waiting for her mom to show up, and tells Dean Ambrose to freshen up his appearance, fearing that her mom will think he's a hobo. Renee's mom Carol shows up, and Dean answers the door as Renee puts on make-up. The three of them have a drink at the patio, and Dean and Carol hit it off quickly. and we find out that Carol has had surgery on her ankle and that her foot is swelling.

Nikki nervously awaits the results of her final CAT scan. She finds out that her neck is finally getting better and that she will soon be medically cleared to wrestle again.

Lana is looking at a video of how elephants are treated when used for people's entertainment as she sits by the pool, and feels bad. She just wishes Maryse wasn't so "mean." She then gets in the pool with Rusev and mentions that she has bought a flower arc, and Rusev wonders why the flowers are so expensive.

Nikki meets up with Nattie, and mentions that she is coming back soon.

Renee, Dean, and Renee's family have a meal out at a restaurant. A random person pops out of the bushes and steals Renee's hat, and Dean chases after him. Renee goes after Dean to make sure he doesn't kill him. Dean confronts the guy and his friend, who both happen to be a tad drunk and want to be on TV. Dean threatens to beat them up, and tells them to apologize. Renee confronts Dean for this, and Renee becomes worried about what they think of Dean more than ever. At this point, Renee just wants to go home, but the rest of the family doesn't seem that concerned.

Nikki Bella meets with Head Athletic Trainer Brian Duncan at the NXT Performance Center to see if she's in ring shape.

Renee's family meets Dean at a bar, then they all head home. Dean teases playing "Human Frogger" at a nearby crosswalk.

Nikki, Brie, Bryan and J.J. meet Lana and Rusev in Malibu. They all find out that Rusev has rented an orange Lambourghini, and Lana is a bit upset because Rusev wouldn't even buy a wedding gift for her.

Renee, Carol and Dean head to a bar. Renee feels Dean needs to reign in the craziness and eccentricity a little bit. When Renee and Carol go shopping while Dean waits outside - and acts as eccentric as ever - Carol thinks Renee isn't letting Dean be himself when she says he's being a bit eccentric and crazy and that Carol is egging him on, and says the hat episode was noble and proof that Renee couldn't find a better guy.



Lana and Nikki talk about Rusev. Nikki tells Lana that she has a lot to figure out concerning the wedding in 24 hours.

Renee apologizes to Dean for unintentionally being too controlling of his behavior. The family has some fun at the patio.

Everyone heads to Malibu and Lana and Rusev's rehearsal dinner.

Nattie, Renee, Dean, Jon Uso and Trinity joins the rest of the gang in Malibu. Rusev tries to understand the belief that you can't see the bride until the wedding takes place. Nattie is worried about the brand extension and how it will affect everyone being able to get together.

Brie tells Lana that her wedding only happens once, and that she can be as selfish as she wants for it. She gets some small metal elephants as a gift, and is reminded of how she wanted to give Rusev an elephant when he couldn't even give her a gift himself. Lana feels disappointed.



The wedding of Rusev and Lana happens. She finds out that Rusev got her the flower arch that she wanted, and even though Lana loves her last name, she takes Rusev's. Both Lana and Rusev exchange vows and kiss. Everyone plays carnival games after the wedding due to the circus theme, and there is an elephant there - but it's a statue, not the real thing, much to the relief of Maryse and Mike, who both show up after all. At the dinner, Rusev and Lana cut the cake. Nikki gets an e-mail that she was definitely not looking forward to, and shows it to Brie. Nikki finds out that she cannot participate in the brand extension, and shares the rest of the news with everyone else. Bryan and Brie remind her that she probably wouldn't be comfortable going back to a full-time schedule right now, and Brie reminds her not to stop training.



At the dance, Lana is happy and grateful not only to be married, but also to be friends with the rest of the women's division.

Everyone awaits their fate on the day of the WWE Draft, and everyone is worried about their future within the company.



Nikki heads to the NXT Performance Center to get back in ring shape after about a year on the shape. Although she's not on TV quite yet, she's getting back in the ring and nobody can stop her.

During the WWE Draft, everyone wonders whether they will go to Raw or SmackDown. Paige wonders if she will be on a brand at all. The show ends before the first pick is mentioned.

Total Divas returns April 19th.
