Rachel walks down the aisle in Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, Episode 8, with everything feeling upside down until she reaches the end. The ceremony begins with Boris as the officiator, who begins by musing on how love is beautiful despite its softening effect on us. In her vows, Rachel trusts her love for Nicky and declares him her soulmate. However, as Nicky speaks his vows, he realizes that the past five days have changed everything. He no longer believes in life, love, or marriage as he once did. He decides he no longer wants to marry Rachel and suggests they leave.
The scene is filled with shock and confusion, especially for Rachel, who had never anticipated this turn of events. They head to a different room where the argument escalates. Nicky accuses Rachel of being hard to love because she is always paranoid that something bad is about to happen. He drops another bombshell, saying he never believed in the curse and that her paranoia is getting to her since she never wanted to get married in the first place. He accuses her of only wanting to get married because of the curse.
Rachel questions how finding out about his parents was enough for him to question marriage, yet she has been saying the same thing for three years. The fight gets ugly, with Portia interrupting to see if the ceremony will continue. Nicky locks her out, and they continue arguing for a while.
Outside the room, Victoria assures the guests while Jules and Nell try not to worry themselves to death. Simultaneously, the witness keeps asking other married guests if they believe they are married to their soulmates. Tired of waiting, Jules finds a spare key and opens the door. He and Nell try to convince Nicky to follow through with the marriage, but time is running out as the sun sets in an hour.
The rest of the family also tries to give their two cents each, supporting the marriage for different reasons. Finally, after talking to Victoria, Nicky is convinced to proceed with the marriage, but Rachel has had enough. The tension and drama of the episode are palpable as the fate of the marriage hangs in the balance.Nicky's plea to Rachel to complete the ceremony falls on deaf ears. As she turns to leave, disaster strikes. The married guests from Nicky's family side begin to bleed profusely, turning the dancefloor into a scene of chaos and bloodshed. Jules rushes to secure Judie and locks him in his room, fearing the worst.
In a desperate attempt to save his family, Jules urges Nicky to find a quick solution. He reveals that Portia, who got married in Las Vegas, is also at risk. Nell worries that Jules himself may start bleeding since he never signed the divorce papers. Meanwhile, the spirit of death continues to roam the house, causing terror and destruction.
Under Jules' guidance, Nicky rushes to Rachel. On his knees, he places the wedding ring on her finger and says, 'I do.' Boris declares them husband and wife, and the witness signs the marriage certificate, as the couple has already exchanged their vows.
Sadly, by the time the marriage certificate is signed, it's too late. The curse has already spread, and even Portia starts bleeding. The only one spared by the curse is Jules, which means Nell is his soulmate. The affected parties continue to bleed slowly to death, including Rachel. She walks outside and collapses under the tree as snow continues to fall. Nicky is left in disbelief as he watches Portia bleed to death. He then finds Rachel and is overcome with grief. He heads back inside to his room to mourn.
The curse on the witness is lifted, and death finally comes for him. As soon as he dies, Rachel's life is restored, and she becomes the next witness. She gets up and goes to her room to retrieve her lighter. Nicky is too numb to react after seeing her. On her way out, she advises Jude to be careful who he chooses to marry but assures him that it will be okay since she will be there to witness. She grabs her things from the witness's room, changes her clothes, and takes his truck. The show ends with her driving off while smoking a joint and listening to music.
