Hello and welcome to the JEMcast on Hologram Radio. This is Alex Knight and I am joined by science fiction writer, K. Tempest Bradford.

Stay tuned for an action packed episode.

Episode 53 (S2E27) is written by Roger Slifer.

We open with Shana, Aja, and Raya, who have taken Kimber bridal gown shopping. Kimber laments Jerrica not joining her because of the argument they had in part 1. Much to Kimber’s surprise, Jerrica shows up and tells her sister that even though she thinks she’s making a mistake, if marrying Jeff is what she wants, then she’ll stand by her.

After the video, Kimber shows up on set to apologize to Rio for “popping off” at him. Rio accepts the apology and admits he’s gone off on her a few times before, so no harm, no fowl (I guess?). Kimber tells Rio she couldn’t imagine Rio not being at her wedding, which takes him by surprise. He assumes incorrectly that she’s marrying Sean, but Kimber corrects him and says it’s Jeff. When Rio questions why, Kimber admits that Jeff is exciting and that she never knows what he’s going to do next. Rio asks how Sean took the news and Kimber says he didn’t seem to care–she hoped he would have asked her not to marry Jeff.

A previously shot and overexposed scene forces Jeff to re-do a dangerous stunt on the set of Starbright. Things are not off to a good start when Jeff starts off the line in his race car a few seconds too early. The car collides and crashes. Rio yells at the paramedics to pull Jeff out, but it turns out that it was Sean driving the car all along! Sean wanted to prove to Kimber that he was just as exciting as Jeff, and then he passes out.

At the hospital, we see Kimber and Rio in the waiting room. Kimber regrets not realizing how hurt Sean was after finding out she was going to marry Jeff. Rio tries to console Kimber and tells her that it wasn’t her fault, that she couldn’t have known he would attempt that crazy stunt. A nurse enters and gives some good news–the prognosis for Sean is good and that he will pull through, but he’s still in a coma. Kimber insists on staying at the hospital, but Rio tells her to go home as she is getting married the following day.

The next day, Jerrica, Shana, Aja, and Raya are all helping Kimber prep for the wedding (Kimber is getting her gown on). The phone rings and Jerrica answers. The hospital tells her that Sean just regained consciousness.

Kimber begins to worry when Jeff hasn’t show up. Fashionably late, and making a grand entrance, Jeff arrives on motorcycle, already in his tux.

Some of the Starlight girls are seen filling up a bag of rice. They seem to be in good spirits. Jerrica calls for them as the ceremony is about to begin.

Jerrica and Kimber take a peak at the crowd from a distance. Jerrica appears surprised at how many friends Kimber has and asks her if she’s nervous. Kimber seems confident and asks Jerrica to call Synergy for a favour. Kimber asks Synergy to create a hologram of Jem, since the wedding won’t be complete without her attendance.

Jeff is nervous about the wedding and we see him working off his nerves at the gym in Starlight Mansion. Howard arrives and tells Jeff the ceremony is about to start.

Right before the ceremony begins, Kimber kisses her sister on the cheek and thanks her for everything.

After the video, the wedding ceremony commences. The priest asks Jeff if he’ll take Kimber as his lawfully wedded wife, but he stammers and says “I do.” Kimber stammers as well and sounds like she’s not really sure about going through…
