Thinking about Tak using her mind control device to force Perfect Nothing Dib to marry her, so Zim crashes the wedding shouting “I object” in full bridal getup insisting that it is he who Dib should be with.
Tak thinks she’s got Dib wrapped around her finger, but Dib’s feelings for Zim and the pushback he’s been giving him on his brainwashing is making that control wane. To fully break her spell, Zim whips out the nuclear option: he confesses to being an alien and removes his disguise, as well as de-cloaking Tak in front of everyone to prove that Dib was right all along and was never crazy. His act of love does succeed in snapping Dib out of Tak’s mind control, but it’s too heavy for Dib to reconcile with all at once.
While he’s freaking out, Tak uses her device to make everyone forget that Zim just compromised both their identities and bolts. Zim stays behind to usher Dib away from the crowd and take care of him during his panic attack.
In the aftermath, it almost seems like nothing’s changed. Dib is still in denial, Membrane is in denial even though Tak’s device didn’t actually work on him, Zim’s secret is still safe, and Tak hasn’t been defeated. All anyone remembers of the day is that the guy Dib was rumored to have gone crazy for crashed the wedding, Dib had a breakdown, and the bride left him at the alter. Now, everyone who didn’t know about or disbelieved the rumors of Dib’s mental health issues before is very aware of the whole tabloid story. So the whole world is talking about how much Zim and Dib both suck how bad they feel for poor Tak being humiliated on her wedding day.
