Trish returns to Harm's room and sees how uncomfortable he seems. He tries
to be polite to this woman but she knows her son needs some rescuing.
"Renee," Trish calls as she walks in the room, "I was wondering if I could borrow you for a minute."
"Sure," she answers somewhat nervously.
"Excuse us, Harm. We won't be long," Trish tells her son.
"It's ok. Take your time," Harm answers, trying not to sound as relieved as he feels.
There have been so many unfamiliar faces, volunteering monstrous amounts of information. As well as a beautiful woman, who desperately wants to be remembered, camped out day and night. So Harm is quite relieved to be rescued by the only person he does knows.
Welcoming the quite, Harm again tries to come to terms with the effects of the crash.
'This feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone! I have never wanted to be anything except a pilot. And now I am supposed to believe that I am a lawyer!' He thinks as frustration nips at the edges of his mind. 'I can't recall one legal term or a single day of law school!"
"Thanks, Mom." Harm sighs heavily as his mother comes back into the room alone. "How did you manage this reprieve without hurting Renee's feelings?"
"I need a few things so I asked if she would get them for me," Trish said, smiling at her son.
"It's hard to picture myself as anything other than a pilot," Harm speaks in disbelief.
"You bring as much passion and ability to being a lawyer as you ever did being a pilot," she says proudly.
"I will just have to take everyone's word on that one," he says sounding very skeptical. "I have been told that I was on my way back for my best friends wedding when I had to punch out."
"Yes, that's right, Lieutenant Colonel Sarah Mackenzie. They postponed the wedding when they heard you were missing."
"Wow. I hate to hear I caused something that important to be put on hold," Harm said regretfully.
"Don't worry, they have rescheduled for this weekend and everything is back on track."
"So that's why she hasn't been to see me, wedding plans?"
"She has seen you. Mac was here when you were first brought in."
"Mac, I thought you said her name is Sarah?"
"I'm sorry, son. Everyone calls her Mac, for Mackenzie."
"That first day was all disorienting for me. All the excitement from these strangers and a woman that I am supposedly involved with, I don't really remember who was there."
"I spoke with her this morning. She told me she didn't want to intrude on my time with you. But you will see her tonight."
"Tonight?"
"Yes, I have asked your friends from JAG to come by your apartment this evening. I am hoping their presence, in your apartment, will help you remember."
"What if I never remember?" Harm asks, obviously frustrated.
"You know the doctor said that this should only be temporary," Trish reminds him.
"Let's hope he's right."
Renee has been antsy all afternoon. She is not looking forward to having Mac coming tonight. She does not know if she will ever feel comfortable around Mac but it would be a lot easier to try to be if she were already married to Mic.
There was a knock at the door. Renee could feel her shoulders tensing up. 'Everything is fine. Mac is marrying Mic on Saturday; there isn't anything to worry about,' she tells herself waiting to see who has arrived.
Bud and Harriet walk in, bringing with them some pictures of Harm and little AJ, along with several more stories. Harm politely sits with them on the couch, looking through pictures and listening to how attentive he has been to their child, his godson, introducing him to airplanes and such. But not one picture or recollection, stirred any familiarity in him.
The next to arrive is AJ. He walks over to Harm with an announcement the he hopes will lift his spirits and serve to tie his two worlds together.
"Commander I have a surprise for you. An old friend from your Academy days has crossed our path at JAG earlier today, and I took the liberty of inviting said friend here this evening," AJ announces. He isn't quite finished when Mac and Brumby walk into the room.
Immediately, Harm stands and walks over to Mac and takes her in his arms, lifting her into a warm embrace. A hush falls over the room as everyone looks on with anticipation of the fall out to come. Mac is taken off guard by Harm's greeting. She loses herself in the moment, reciprocating the embrace as the deepest part of her soul is stirred by his touch. Mic moves to intervene but hesitates as he hears Harm's words.
"The admiral said that you were coming." Harm squeezes her a little tighter. "Diane, you are just what the doctor order."
'Diane!' Mac's soul froze. 'He called me Diane!' She immediately stiffens and pushes herself out of his embrace. Harm is confused and looks into her eyes and sees clearly he has injured her. Mac turns away and rushes out the door.
Harm instinctively goes to follow her but is met at the door by his Academy buddy, Sturgis Turner. Harm looks at Sturgis with a very confused look matched by the same confused look on Sturgis's face.
"Harm," Sturgis asks, "did you just say 'Diane?'"
Harm's delight to see his friend is lost in his concern for Diane. "Yes, and someone needs to go after her."
"Don't worry mate, I will take care of her." Mic says as he walks between Harm and Sturgis, disappearing down the stair well.
"Who is that guy and why is he going after Diane?" Harm asks, getting more upset by the moment.
"Harm, let's go back inside." Sturgis says putting his arm around Harm's shoulder, turning him around.
Harm takes a couple steps, then stops, looking at all of these faces staring at him. His confusion and anger are welling up on the brink of overflowing. Renee walks over to him to try to be of some comfort, yet that kind gesture was like a trigger on a gun, and Harm turns again and shoots out the door.
"Renee," Trish calls as she walks in the room, "I was wondering if I could borrow you for a minute."
"Sure," she answers somewhat nervously.
