I've always hated weddings on drama series. I'm sure the reason for the high average score is that people always gravitate toward them. There are so many things going on. First of all, once again, Kevin and Randall are all twisted up. Kate is having dreams about her parents, still alive and renewing their vows, and Deja is wandering around, filled with fury. Her mother is now officially rid of her and she can't reconcile that. That is the real point of interest in the story. The parking lot thing at the end is a bit dramatic. It is worthy of a lot of discussion, certainly. She strikes out at the people who saved her, on the one hand, but probably sees them as the ones who stole her from her mother. It is a narrative hook, certainly, to carry us into Season 3.

I also thought that the toasts were awful. They were toasting a father who died 20 years earlier. Granted, it was a tragic death, and he was a nice guy, but for him to permeate this day, making Kate truly secondary, seemed really weird.
