Brie and Nikki go to a gym to work out.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Nikki has invited her and Brie's friends to all be bridesmaids. Two of them show up, they, Brie and Nikki try to figure out the whole bridesmaid thing for the wedding.

Brie, Lauren, J.J., and Kathy go shopping for artwork for the Birdiebee office at home.

In Napa Valley, Brie and Nikki meet with the wedding planners while John Cena is doing some media appearances and take a look at where Nikki and John Cena's wedding will take place. Brie finds it very hard to see Nikki doing all the wedding planning, since she is doing it all on her own while Brie had Bryan's help for theirs, and she wishes John was there with her.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Brie shows off some of the art that she and Nikki bought, but Bryan is surprised by the price tag on some of the pieces of art.

In New York City, Brie and Nikki meet with Nikki's wedding planners again. Nikki tries out bridal dresses in hopes of looking for something classic, and eventually finds something she likes.

later that night, Brie and Nikki head to a restaurant. Brie talks about living in the city before giving birth to Birdie, and Nikki is wondering to do about the number of bridesmaids for the wedding.

Johnny, Kathy, and J.J. cross a bridge. Not only is Kathy a backseat driver, she is not very fond of bridges.

Brie and Nikki meet with Nikki's wedding planners again. They get a first look at the wedding invitations, and Nikki finds out first-hand how hard it is to make decisions for the wedding on her own. Brie notices that Nikki is not having fun making all the decisions, and senses that Nikki is feeling grumpy and agitated about the whole thing.

Brie, Nikki and Lauren talk about Bryan's progress at getting back to performing in the WWE as they go to an art gallery. They learn that the artist behind the painting, who is at the gallery, does commissions, but they do not come cheap: one commission costs $32,000. Believing that you never lose money on good art, Brie decides to take the plunge and buy a commission.

J.J., Kathy and Bryan meet for coffee. Kathy talks about her anxiety about a lot of things, and Bryan talks about his anxiety as well. Johnny shows up with a car with a brake in the passenger seat to show Kathy what it feels like to be a backseat driver. Bryan thinks this might lead to trouble, and feels this will not help Kathy's anxiety issues. Nevertheless, J.J. and Bryan have a good laugh. Afterwards, Bryan and Kathy learn that they both have a fear of heights, and Bryan says that said fear of heights does not faze him during a wrestling match, as having a crowd makes it easier and he feels like a different person when he is Daniel Bryan.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Bryan tells Brie that he got a fraud alert when somebody tried to spend $10,000 at an art gallery. Brie says that the $10,000 is the deposit she made on a $30,000 commission. Bryan feels that if Brie is going to get back to her artsy side, she should just do art. Also, he feels there is nothing worth $30,000 that was look so "them," and feels they should do something together.

Kathy and Bryan try some indoor skydiving to get over their fear of heights. Kathy feels like she is in park with someone with their foot on the gas pedal watching Bryan, but it does not end up being that bad of an experience for her.

Brie and Nikki talk about the wedding planning. Nikki says she feels overwhelmed and alone about the planning. She feels like she is face to face with what the rest of her life will be like while making the decisions. Brie tells Nikki that she will step it up, and asks some simple questions about what Nikki wants to get some things figured out and make sure she is happy with the wedding, and says that she will step in if Nikki feels uncomfortable.

Brie and Nikki admire the sunset as they meet with their friends for a girl's night out. Nikki announces that she will not have bridesmaids for the wedding. Her friends understand, and tells her to make sure that her decisions for the wedding planning make her happy. Nikki proposes a toast for Brie for having her back, and for the voice that she has found during the wedding planning.
