At the Ruby Cafe, Oscar's perturbed to find a ketchup bottle with the word "catsup" on it. Karen and Davis tell him it's a legitimate spelling of the condiment. As Oscar looks at the bottle and repeats "catsup" slowly, Lacey walks behind him and stopping, believes Oscar is having difficulty sounding out the word. Later, as Wanda tells Lacey that Emma and Oscar aren't married, Lacey accuses her of jumping to conclusions and then tells her Oscar can't read. Wanda laughs and assures her Oscar can read and jokes that Lacey needs more evidence. In front of the Police station, Hank asks Karen if Brent winning the Sittler card while playing "Knuckles" entitles him to the card. Karen tricks Hank twice into replaying the game and smashes him on the hands.

At the Ruby, Brent confirms to Lacey that he technically is a bastard. Joking that he's not going to have a wedding for his parents, Davis overhears and enthusiastically starts to discuss wedding details with Brent. At the Dog River Hotel, Hank argues that the Sittler card belongs to him and challenges Brent to play "Knuckles" for it. Refusing, Brent catches Hank replaying the game when they were eight and raps him on the hands. At the Leroy's, Davis is unsuccessful in convincing Emma and Oscar to get married until he mentions all the wedding gifts. Davis then escorts them to the Hotel where he announces their nupitals. Shocked, Brent leaves his hands out and Hank raps his knuckles.

At the Ruby, Oscar tells Lacey that he's leaving the wedding planning to Emma. However, Davis has taken full control and Emma is ambivalent. Giving Oscar a kid's book, Lacey watches as Oscar focuses on the pictures. Convinced he isn't literate, she asks him to read the book and they'll discuss it later. Walking to Corner Gas, Hank still insists that Brent give him the Sittler card. At the Ruby, Oscar takes his glasses off and struggles to see the words. Lacey misinterprets this as Oscar having difficulty reading and encourages him. Arriving at Corner Gas, Hank continues to harangue Brent. Wanda asks Hank to recreate how he lost the card and as he does, she raps him on the knuckles. Heading to the Hotel for his stag party, Oscar is angry that Brent can't be his best man as he's giving Emma away.

Karen and Wanda begin to argue about who should have the Sittler card. At the stag, Paul serves drinks and learns Hank and Oscar are both mad at Brent. Karen and Wanda's argument becomes heated and a bored Lacey asks the stripper's opinion on the matter. Paul advises Oscar that it's "important to put things in writing" and that he should get a pre-nup. The next day at the Ruby, Lacey takes Oscar's request to "put things in writing" to mean he wants to learn to write and says she support him. At the Leroy's, Oscar tells Emma that Lacey thinks they need a pre-nup. An angry Emma moves towards Oscar, causing him to step backwards and fall.

At the Community Church, Hank turns a conversation with Brent about the wedding rehearsal into a demand for the Sittler card. Karen and Wanda are present and continue to argue the legalities of whether Hank should have the card or not. Oscar, wearing a neck brace, accuses Emma of hurting him and is angry with Brent, as he has no best man. As Lacey arrives, Oscar blames her for his hurt neck and Hank says the wedding was Lacey's idea.

Brent tells Hank they have to find a way to make everyone happy again. With everyone seated, Oscar stands and blames Lacey for the fight he and Emma had. Indicating he's going to read an apology note, Lacey tells him not to embarrass himself. As Lacey says Oscar knows what's she's talking about, Emma shifts uncomfortably and is surprised that Lacey "knows." Asking Lacey to explain, she tells everyone that Oscar can't read to their laughter. Insisting Oscar can't read, Lacey picks up Oscar's apology note and sees she's wrong. Worried her foolishness will be written up in the Howler, Wanda tells her the top story is a new by-law.

Emma stands and thanks Davis for planning the wedding and jokes that he used the police budget to finance it. Davis laughs nervously and Emma confesses that she and Oscar were married but they're embarrassed as to the circumstances. Davis demands an explanation and Emma and Oscar explain they had an Elvis wedding. Accepting Hank's guess that the minister was dressed as Elvis, Brent wonders why they didn't just say they lost the photos instead of lying they weren't married. As Josh serves, everyone starts to eat except for Davis, who broken up, leaves. Later at Corner Gas, Brent has a solution that satisfies everyone. Hank gets the card, sells it to Brent, Karen is right that Hank should've had the card and Hank is supposed to use the money to pay back a debt to Wanda, but doesn't. Brent vows they never mention Sittler again and eating lunch, Sittler shudders. Emma and Oscar burn their wedding photos in which they are dressed as Elvis.
