Another radio report with a name mix-up causes trouble for the Howells, this time when they think that their marriage was performed by a fraud.  So they agree to have the Skipper re-marry them, with Gilligan as best man and Ginger as bridesmaid.  But the Howells quarrel and so Mr. Howell moves in with the sailors, and "Miss Wentworth" moves in with the girls.  Then there's a scheme for the Howells to make each other jealous, he with Ginger (of course) and she with the Professor.  Then the Skipper dresses up as a headhunter and Mr. Howell protects his estranged wife.  (Ginger runs into the Professor's arms and then they disappear for the rest of the scene.)  So, all pretty implausible, but with shipping galore, and that's not even counting the Skipper practicing the ceremony with Mary Ann as bride and Gilligan as groom, or Gilligan refusing to marry either of the Howells, or the Skipper comparing his relationship with Gilligan to a marriage!
