Prue arrived at her mother’s wedding feeling uneasy about her mom’s much younger groom, Colin. After their arguments, she decided to attend but couldn’t shake her doubts. During the reception, Prue found a note under her plate saying, “Help me!” in Colin’s handwriting.

Determined to find out who wrote the note, Prue discreetly questioned family members. Suspicious of Colin, she followed him and saw him with her sister Claire. They were embracing, and Colin gave Claire an envelope of wedding money, telling her to leave. Prue thought they were having an affair.

She rushed to her mother, Sue, and accused Colin, causing a scene. Colin explained he was helping Claire escape from her abusive husband, Tom, and the note was accidentally placed under Prue’s plate. Claire confirmed this, admitting she wrote the note.

Tom was confronted and escorted out, and the family united to support Claire. Sue thanked Prue for her protective instincts but emphasized better communication. The wedding, though tumultuous, brought the family closer, emphasizing trust, love, and support.
