Plot

Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer), Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera), Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron), Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley), and Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr.) return to Lima to attend the wedding of Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) on Valentine's Day. Emma is extremely anxious about the wedding, and Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) believes it might be because he kissed her. Meanwhile, Ryder Lynn (Blake Jenner) decides to help Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist) give his girlfriend Marley Rose (Melissa Benoist) a great Valentine's Day, even though Ryder also has feelings for her. On Ryder's advice, Jake serenades Marley with one of her favorite songs, "You're All I Need to Get By".

At the wedding, Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale) is paired with Emma's niece, Betty Pillsbury (Ali Stroker), who rejects him. Emma finds herself unable to go through with the wedding and performs "Getting Married Today" from Company. Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) announces Emma's departure, and Will leaves to search for her, but agrees to proceed with the wedding reception. Kurt and Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) sing "Just Can't Get Enough" and decide to briefly rekindle their relationship, causing Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz) to become jealous and accidentally reveal to Kurt that she's in love with Blaine. Santana and Quinn start to flirt with each other after getting drunk.

Ryder continues to provide Jake with presents for Marley, but is disappointed when Jake voices his belief that he'll have sex with Marley. Sue decides to throw the bouquet, and Rachel catches it. Afterwards, Finn confronts Rachel and announces that, even though she's living with Brody Weston (Dean Geyer), they are meant to be together. They sing "We've Got Tonight", and later Finn and Rachel, Kurt and Blaine, Santana and Quinn, and Artie and Betty have sex, while Marley decides not to go through with it with Jake. Afterwards, Rachel sneaks out and returns to New York City, reuniting with Brody. They both lie about having spent Valentine's Day alone.

The following day, Marley thanks Ryder, revealing that she knows he's been helping Jake, and gives him a Valentine's card. Ryder reveals that he did everything for her and not Jake, and kisses her before she leaves. Betty decides to give Artie another chance and they begin a relationship. Tina apologizes to Blaine for her actions and he promises to help her find a boyfriend. Finn convinces Will not to give up on Emma and they arrange a performance of "Anything Could Happen" in the auditorium, during which Jake notices Marley and Ryder's strange interactions. Meanwhile, in New York, Rachel takes a pregnancy test and appears surprised by the result.
