Recap
As Kathy and John Laurinaitis’ wedding approaches on the Total Bellas’ season finale, Brie Bella is back in the family fold. Bryan is sitting the wedding out on the advice of his doctors, but the family reunion puts a spring in Nikki Bella’s step — at least for a while. What begins as shared joy over Kathy’s non-diagnosis at the women’s clinic turns hostile when Nikki floats the idea to Brie, once again, that she is deferring too much to Bryan at the expense of her own happiness. That leads to a knock-down fight between the Bella Twins that is thankfully resolved by the time Kathy says “I do.” But it’s clear the divide between Brie, who’s married and on the cusp of motherhood, and Nikki, who is not, is growing a little wider than either is comfortable with.

In happier news, it’s time for the Bellas to get their wedding on! The marriage of Kathy and Big Johnny goes off, remarkably, without a hitch, save for a brief panic over Johnny being late while he and Brie work on perfecting her “Yes!” Lock technique for WrestleMania. The happy couple are married and, in one of the most emotional moments of the episode, Johnny tells the assembled Bella family how truly happy he is to be among them. It’s actually very sweet.

After the wedding bells have rung and the rice has been cleaned up, it’s time for Nikki to get a check-up from her doctor. And the results, while not as good as she’d hoped, per se, are still good. Her neck has healed to the point where Nikki is cleared to be a part of WrestleMania, though she cannot quite step back into the ring yet. So she has Sandra the seamstress pay her a house visit to get some new gear together in preparation for the big show. And so Total Bellas Season 1 comes to an end, and Total Divas picks up the ball next week at 8/7 CT on E!. Stay tuned for more …
