Amanda is in her bedroom getting ready while Declan is returning home after dropping off Jesse and Frannie with Nick's mom. He decides to get ready for his bachelor party before getting picked up by his friends. In the bedroom, Amanda is putting on her Short One Shoulder Beaded Elizabeth K Prom Dress in Fuchsia/Yellow, her hair is fixed, her nails are perfect, and she puts on her party jewelry. She puts her heels on and leaves the bedroom to get ready for her bachelorette party.

"Wow. You look beautiful." Declan says.

"Thank you. It's my bachelorette party dress." Amanda replies.

Amanda and Declan sit down on the couch for a while and they talk about their upcoming wedding. Soon, the doorbell rings and Amanda opens the door. She grabs her clutch and she kisses Declan goodbye.

A few minutes later, the guys arrive at Gotham Comedy Club and the girls arrive at Lips Drag Queen Show Palace Restaurant and Bar. At Lips Drag Queen Shoe Palace Restaurant and Bar, Amanda has her eyes covered and then Olivia tells her to open her eyes. Amanda opens her eyes and she is surprised.

"Welcome to your bachelorette party, Amanda." Olivia says.

"Oh, my God." Amanda replies, excitedly.

The girls go up to the hostess and Olivia tells her that she has a reservation and they follow the hostess to their table and as they sit, the hostess hands them menus. The hostess tells the party that their waiter or waitress will be right with them. A few seconds later, the waitress comes to the table and they order strawberry lemonade. The waitress tells the party that she'll give them a few minutes to order their food. Meanwhile at Gotham Comedy Club, the guys are sat at a table and they order strawberry lemonade to drink. They look over the menu to decide what to eat.

"Hey, Murphy. Your daughter is in good hands with my mom, so you have nothing to worry about. My kids are with her as well and so is Carisi's niece and your niece and nephew." Nick says.

"Good thing your mom is amazing with kids." Declan replies.

While at Lips Drag Queen Show Palace Restaurant and Bar, the waitress brings the girls their strawberry lemonade and they order the Caesar salad as an appetizer and for the entrée, they order Chicken Penne A La Vodka pasta. The waitress takes their order and the girls talk about Amanda's upcoming wedding. As they wait for their food, they listen to a few shows and then their salads come and they eat them.

"Next weekend, I'm going to be Mrs. Declan Murphy." Amanda says.

"We're all so happy for you, Amanda." Bella responds.

Meanwhile at Gotham Comedy Club, the guys have already ordered their appetizers which were the popcorn shrimp and they have eaten them. The waiter comes to the table to order their food. They choose a grilled chicken sandwich with a choice of fries or a salad while some of them choose a turkey club wrap with their choice of fries or a salad. After taking their order, the waiter tells them that he'll be right back with their food. While waiting for the food, the guys watch a comedy show. A comic guy named Dave Coulier comes on stage and he tells funny jokes while the whole club laughs.

"It's Dave Coulier from Full House and Fuller House." Declan says.

"He's funny, too." Fin responds.

While at Lips Drag Queen Show Palace Restaurant and Bar, a few minutes later, the waitress comes with the food and the girls eat it. As they eat their pasta, a show is starting and a drag queen named Lauren is going on the stage. Another drag queen mentions that there is a bride to be in the house. Soon, they finish eating and Lauren calls Amanda up on stage. She gets up and walks up to the stage where the drag queens put a Floral Bride To Be Sash and a Rhinestone Bride To Be Royal Tiara on her to wear.

"There's our bride to be tonight. What's your name and when are you getting married?" Lauren asks.

"I'm Amanda and I'm getting married next weekend." Amanda responds.

The music starts and the drag queens start singing and dancing. After the dancing, more music is playing and Lauren gives Amanda a shot of non-alcohol Shirley Temple. The whole restaurant counts to three and then Amanda has the shot of non-alcohol Shirley Temple. Meanwhile, at Gotham Comedy Club, the guys have eaten their dinner and the show is great. Soon, they have the cake and Declan opens his bachelor party gifts.

"This is the bachelor party ever." Declan says.

"I'm glad you like it." Carisi replies.

At Lips Drag Queen Show Palace Restaurant and Bar, Amanda returns to the table with her girlfriends and they get ready to do the cake. They have the cake and they get ready to give Amanda her gifts. The girls give Amanda her gifts and now it's her bridal party's turn to give her the gifts. Bella hands Amanda a shopping bag and the bride to be opens the gift and it's a sheer floral lace tunic.

"This is pretty." Amanda says.

"It's for your wedding night for when you and Declan have sex as a married couple." Bella replies.

"Declan won't be able to take his hands or his eyes off of me. This would be perfect for baby making. I'm a swan. And a detective, a freaking kick ass detective who, by the way, has had sex before." Amanda responds.

Kim soon attempts to give Amanda her bachelorette party gift but she makes her way to the bathroom, goes into the stall and starts crying. The waitress that take care of Amanda and her friends hears Kim crying and leaves the bathroom. She tells Amanda that someone from her party is crying in the bathroom. Amanda heads to the bathroom and knocks on the stall door.

"Kim? Why are you crying? It's my bachelorette party." Amanda says.

"I'm sorry, Manda. I thought that I was going to miss your bachelorette party." Kim replies.

Soon, Kim comes out of the stall and walks up to the sink. Amanda puts her hand on Kim's shoulder. Kim touches Amanda's hand and she cries again. Amanda feels that there is a reason why Kim is crying at her bachelorette party. She hands Kim some tissues and Kim stops crying. They leave the bathroom and Kim gives Amanda her gift. Soon, it's time to leave Lips Drag Queen Show Palace Restaurant and Bar and they pay for the meal and head out. At Gotham Comedy Club, they guys pay for their meal and leave the club. Soon, everyone is back at home late and night and they get ready to call it a night.
