"Opposites Attract"
...
Home again, home again…
...
After rescuing Tim and not fulfilling the mission, which might seem to become a running theme in the relationship between the grandmother and our boy, they arrive home, hitch a ride to New York in the corporate jet, and then dispatch it to Switzerland where Annie is booked into a clinic.
Good deed for the day done.
And in a last-minute move he didn't see coming sister Darcy, best friends with everyone, has gone with Annie to be someone familiar. Tim of course goes with her. A ride to Europe in a private jet, and the prospect of a holiday was worth sacrificing being at the wedding.
Well, the first wedding.
But the bad news is, while our boy was away having fun in helicopters the grandmother's condition deteriorated as anyone with stage four cancer knows. One minute you're reasonably OK the next, at death's door.
Fresh off the plane, there's just enough time to change and get to the ceremony.
There is no time to reflect on the merits of what is essentially a shotgun wedding, it's done.
Of course, there's a little sidebar in doing it, one that may play out in a sequel.
