They engage in taking heavy illicit drugs; they get high on them. The following day, when they are sober, they realize that John has not awaken; he has succumbed to the drugs. Christine is waiting for her groom but then she decides to call off the wedding. Later that day, the three friends see a homeless man named Joe on television. He is suffering from amnesia and is in appearance identical to John. They convince Joe to impersonate John, they believing that at least he will have shelter.
