While coming to terms with her miscarriage, Yvonne quits her job and becomes interested in alternate health therapies. Yvonne's constant presence at home makes it difficult for Gary to meet expectations in 1942, where Phoebe is starting to get frustrated at doing all the wedding planning on her own.

It's the eve of Gary and Phoebe wedding, and Gary is scheduled to attend two stag nights; one hosted by Ron in his new bachelor pad in 1997, another by visiting Canadian pilots at the Royal Oak in 1942, and Gary's night of heavy drinking in two centuries has predictably disastrous consequences.

When Gary oversleeps in 1997, he misses his wedding to Phoebe in 1942. Meanwhile, Yvonne is upset that Gary's forgotten their anniversary, but all he can think about is how to make it up to Phoebe so that their wedding can still go ahead.
