Gloria's oak sways in the breeze, when suddenly, Luca steps out from its roots! Stephen never knew what happened to Gloria when she basked under the shade of its branches. She leaned back and fell asleep and the wind swept her through a portal. When Gloria woke, she found herself reclining under a wondrously peculiar tree, gazing at living streams! She thought it was only a dream and walked through the labyrinth with eyes like a child. She began to learn the timing of this portal and visited often to bring back the healing leaves and water to the patients she photographed. Many of them recovered quickly, which was a quandary to the staff. Tyne knew about the labyrinth because of his grandfather's journal, and he was the only one Gloria could confide in. She would have lunch with Tyne frequently. They understood each other, which caused their bond to grow. Their love was obvious and mutual. Tyne wished she could be his, but he felt he had already ruined too many lives, so he didn't want to destroy her marriage. Aiden would write poetry and songs for Gloria, and the quotes Stephen read, weren't actually her writing, they were Tyne's. She felt more alive because of the garden and Aiden-Tyne's company, but they knew the only time they could be together again, would be in the majestic garden. Tyne vowed to Gloria that he would always remember her and gave her a pin with his name engraved on the back. No more secrets. No more hiding. Gloria told Tyne a proverb, "Open rebuke is better than love carefully concealed." He agreed and she knew she could not visit him anymore, but she took one last photo. She had been in the labyrinth so much, it became a part of her. Her face would glow gloriously, but she was frightened; the more time she spent there, the more the land consumed her! She started to become invisible to the normal world. Gloria soon understood that the kingdom she is a part of was formed out of what she cannot tangibly see, and what it creates displays its glory; day unto to day it utters speech without speaking, without words, without voices being heard! Luca inhales deeply because he hasn't needed oxygen and it takes him a moment to adjust to the atmosphere! He looks around and sees a radiant, golden rainbow covering the sky and runs towards it. Laurel smiles at Pierre because she knows his fate. He smiles back at her and takes a scenic route. "Where are we going?" "Oh don't worry Laurel, I promise I will get you back on time." She is relieved when she notices he is approaching Lexington Lane. Sean steps back, dazed by what he gets to witness, but doesn't realize he is backing into the street! Pierre's one track mind torments him because he must find Ramah! Stephen ducks down in his car but keeps taking photos! Pierre sees Audrey and his rage erupts! Laurel tells him to slow down, because he doesn't see Sean! She grabs the wheel and Abigail and Audrey are horrified, because they see Pierre's vehicle. Wilton screams Sean's name and Ramah frantically stands up, runs, and pushes Sean out of the way! Rebekah becomes pale because she can't imagine losing him! Isabella grabs her to stop her from running into the street! The sisters see Laurel's face morph back into the witch from Ireland and they stand still, petrefied! Pierre drives towards them and Laurel disappears! Everything slows down and his BMW explodes! Debris flies everywhere, but vanishes just as fast! Stephen's eyes widen and he wishes he hadn't let his curiosity ensnare him! Abigail bends over and vomits and Audrey holds her chest because she can't breathe; they cannot believe their lives were spared twice! Sean gets up with no scrapes or bruises and Ramah acknowledges it wasn't his strength that saved Sean. "You are like me. You are powerful!" Sean doesn't understand, so Audrey drunkly stumbles over to translate. "What? I'm what?" Audrey touches Ramah's forehead and memories flash like lightning and he regains his mind! His soul is no longer chained to insanity! Luca runs up and Rebekah feels she is in a nightmare, but he looks different. She becomes more astounded than afraid. Rebekah darts towards Luca and wildly punches his chest! "You killed my sisters! You killed them!" He weeps and falls to the ground! He knows he cannot fix or change the past, but he knows he is there for a reason! Sean runs over and holds her! "I kept seeing your face Rebekah. Your piercing eyes have haunted me for so long." "What are you doing here? How did you find me?" "This is going to sound impossible, but I met Jill and Rachel in the labyrinth. They live in the forbidden hills, but they came down to see me. I am here to bring you a message from them... I am the message even though it seems I shouldn't be the one. They said you already know this kingdom and that it is a part of you! You dream about it! Jill said you would see I am new and Rachel said I should be the one to lead you to them, because that is the only way you will be able to enter." "Please! Give me a moment, this is a lot... a lot to process..." Rebekah hesitates and hides her face in Sean's chest! Isabella marvels and runs over to touch Luca's face. "You've been there! You've been there, I can tell!" She weeps and Wilton comes over to meet this unusual stranger. Sean cannot wrap his mind around all of this, especially what Ramah said! Ramah whispers to Sean's mind, "there is no explanation for now, but I know you are of ancient blood. You didn't choose this, it chose you, because there is a war we must fight a time and a time from now!"
