The bridesmaids soon arrive and Kelly, noticing that they do not match suggest that they change outfits, leaving Bud by himself in the living room. Just then, a casually dressed woman enters and asks Bud if he knows what happened to the bridesmaids, as she was their ride to the church and that they were only going to be in the house for a few moments.
Bud, thinking about the advice Kelly gave him early, decides to put it to use while looking over the woman. After stepping on her foot and suggesting that they have sex, she tells him that she could not hear what he said, as she could only notice the pain from him stepping on her foot. Bud quickly recoils and begins to lament that he should have known better and that no woman would fall for that trick. But, much to his surprise, the woman decides to kiss him and they head upstairs for sex.

Sometime later, after Kelly and the other girls head downstairs, now in matching black leather mini dresses, they begin to wonder the other woman went. A few moments later, the woman, now smiling and fully relaxed comes downstairs and tells them that Bud was showing her around the house, before heading back to the car with the girls. Realizing what just happened, Kelly yells at Bud and orders him to come downstairs immediately.
Bud, now beaming with pride, proudly tells his sister that he just had sex with a woman. Despite vowing that nothing can ruin his day, Kelly decides to inform him that the woman he slept with was Janey, the soon-to-be bride of their cousin.
As Bud begins to regret his actions, Janey, now in her bridal dress, comes back to the Bundy residence and apologizes to Bud.
