"MEMORIES"
Antonio falls asleep on the drive home because Gretchen gave him a sedative like Pierre told her to. Wilton is relieved Ramah is exhausted because he isn't ready to delve into the inexplicable with his big brother who would end up doing what he always does, take over and save the day; this is the first time Isabella and Antonio have ever needed help. Wilton feels like the hero for a change, but he is clueless where to begin and what he is actually dealing with! The only idea he can possibly think of may ruin everything, but he's willing to do anything, and fast. "Hey this is Sean, please leave me a message and I will return your call as soon as possible."
*Beep*
"Hey uh Sean, this is Wilton it's strange that I'm calling you and I know everything Isabella did was messed up, but please give me a call as soon as you get this. I really need your help man!"
Stephen sits under Gloria's tree upset about not being able to do something that she loved, photographing patients. He decides to head inside and look at a few albums she made. He plops a box full of negatives and albums on the bed. Stephen looks through the pictures and sighs because it brings back so many memories. He stops and quickly flips back to another page. There is a strange pattern going on with the photographs Gloria took. Every third picture has an extra photo behind it, but Stephen knows that Gloria had a reason for everything she did, and his curiousity makes his heart pound.
He quickly turns back to the beginning of the album and pulls out every orignal that has a double and stacks them in order. Stephen scoots the box over and vertically places each photograph in two piles, one row for originals and the other for doubles. Stephen's hands begin to shake and he turns pale. He wildly scrambles the pictures in shock and hides his face in his quivering hands, as his body trembles in horror!
Sean listens to his voicemail and is frustrated at first, but is inquisitive, so he calls Wilton right away. "Sean, thanks for calling me back! Look there is a lot of strange, creepy stuff going on and you were the only person I could trust right now.
Is Rebekah doing alright too?" "Yeah, yeah, she's fine, just a bit upset with me, but she is working through some deep, intense, personal things. She's been through a lot ...a lot! What's going on Wilton?" "I know this is gonna sound crazy, but could you and Rebekah pack some clothes and hop in your catering van right away, and meet me at 2519 Lexington Lane. Please dude, please! It really is an emergency!" Wilton begins to spout out some outlandish things Isabella told him about Sean, and Sean is amazed! "Dude are you a psychic or a prophet.
Man that's crazy! No one knows those things about me Wilton and I've dreamt of what you're telling me. Oooo, this is freaky. Yeah man, why not, stranger things have happened to Bek and I! She will be surprised she gets to see Mercy again, and that I am allowing it. We'll head over there in the next thirty minutes!" "Awe, thanks man, it means a lot Sean! Hey and uh thanks for not thinking I'm crazy." "Whatcha talkin' 'bout Wilton, I never said all that, ha!" Sean and Wilton laugh as they hang up the phone; neither of them have laughed in a while and they both endured similar situations. Sean runs upstairs to tell Rebekah the news and finds her sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the crumpled papers.
"Honey, hey, look at me. I'm sorry for being an idiot and for trying to control everything. After your sisters passed away I felt horrible and guilty because I wasn't there to stop it from happening to you and that eats me up inside. I never want anything or anyone to hurt you, but I know being like this is hurting you. I want to listen to you more and just burn your face into my memory! I just want to protect you, and believe it or not, I get scared and I worry. We have so many memories together, good, bad, and ugly, but that is the beauty of it!"
Rebekah smiles even though her face is red and covered in tears and fears. "See what I mean, when you smile, joke, laugh, and cry, it makes me want to be what you've always wanted..." Sean never thought this would be how he proposed, because he always waited for an opportune time, but those chances never seemed to come; everything is like the Twilight Zone in his life, so he decides to jump into the madness. "Rebekah, will you marry me?"
