Meanwhile, Eric's family is sad that they are not there for their patriarch, but Eric's son Ridge (Kaye) is convinced that Eric will call off the wedding when he realizes that they aren't present. When the group begins to question their decision, Ridge becomes even more adamant that boycotting the wedding is the right thing to do.
