Anna and Brooke talk at BJ’s. Edmund was there but he ran outside to look at some proofs that Brooke has brought over to him. Brooke sits with Anna and the two ladies are polite with each other. Anna wants to know if Brooke has asked Edmund out yet. Brooke is shocked at that question. Anna thinks that this is a logical question, after all Edmund is single. Brooke tells her that they used to be in love once and Brooke hurt him. She married Tad for her son and left Edmund. Her marriage to Tad was very short-lived. Brooke has some questions of her own. She wants to know what Anna is trying to set Edmund up with her. Maybe Anna feels guilty. Edmund has been very supportive to her. They have thought about getting together but Anna doesn’t want to go there because she may not be single. She wishes him the world of happiness and she sees Brooke as a part of that world. Edmund returns and says that the material is fine for the magazine. Anna excuses herself from the table and Brooke asks him if he would like to go to the movies with her on a date.

She leaves the restaurant and Anna returns saying that Brooke looks very happy. He can tell that Anna was trying to set them up. She wants Brooke to know that she isn’t a threat. If Anna’s husband is still alive, she has to find out and she thinks that Edmund shouldn’t be waiting for her when he has everything to lose. Edmund understands what she is saying.

She explains to him that she likes women and that what he did wasn’t exactly the appropriate thing. Bianca is sure that no one has ever held him and told him that they loved him. No one has ever made him feel safe or held him. Bianca goes over to him and takes him in her arms. His mother was the last person to hold him before she died. She knows that he has a thing about being touched, but he lets her hold him anyway. She hates that this happened to him and she knows how he felt. She was in a cage once too.

Opal is back at the yacht with Ryan. She was trying to explain to him earlier that she was really Gillian inside Opal’s body, but Ryan wouldn’t believe her. Finally, he did believe her and now they return to the yacht together. He is finally convinced that Opal’s body has been taken over by Gillian’s spirit. ‘Gillian’ is happy that she is finally home. She remembers the last time that they were there and Ryan remembers it too. They had just made love and she was packing to go on their honeymoon. She recounts the whole thing and Ryan is astounded at her remembering all this. She tells him that she loves him so much. Ryan tells her that he loves her too. He can’t believe this is happening. She tells him to feel her and to touch her and know that she is real. She walks over to a silver platter and looks at her image in the platter. She wonders now if she is really herself. If she is really herself at all. He didn’t want to let her go and he explains to her why he let her die. He was talking to her and he didn’t really want to do it. ‘Gillian’ is sad that he had to save Laura’s life. She tells him that the way that he knew her doesn’t exist anymore. He tells her different. He fells in love with her spirit and her soul. He still loves her and will love her until the day that he dies. They fall into each other’s arms. She begs him to make love to her before something else happens and they are separated again. Just then Jesse appears, but only to ‘Gillian’. He tells her to step back and move away from Ryan. Ryan doesn’t see Jesse, but ‘Gillian’ does and she tells Ryan that she has a feeling that they are not alone. She starts talking to Jesse and Ryan is not sure what she is doing.

He leaves the room with her. Opal wonders out loud how she ever ended up there. Ryan can see that his wife is gone. He explains to her that Gillian was inside her. He grabs her and shouts, "Come back to me." She tries to calm him and she gets up to leave because she is feeling very weak now. Ryan grabs her arms and holds her there. He has a frantic look in his eyes. She tries to explain to him that she is Opal and not Gillian. She has to get home to her son. She tells him that Gillian must be gone again. She wishes that she could help him reconnect with her, but he has to let her go. He asks for her forgiveness and tells her that he is sorry. She is sorry too. She doesn’t know how this happened and she doesn’t know what this means. The present is a gift. She kisses him and rises to leave the yacht.
