Realizations
Sitting at the beach, Ethan is swamped with memories of his time here with Theresa.
"I can't believe the way my life turned on. First, I was going to marry Gwen, and then I fell in love with Theresa. Now that I'm married to Gwen, it's been pure hell, and I should have chosen Theresa to marry. How did my life get so complicated? I have to find Theresa, I have to be with her forever."
Looking down at his left hand, he sees the wedding band that Gwen gave him, and takes it off his finger.
"I loved Gwen at one point in my marriage, but in the back of my mind, Theresa was always there. I can't be married to one woman when I love another."
Flashback to LA
"If you didn't learn Gwen was pregnant, who would you have married, me or her?"
"It's irrelevant, Theresa."
"Humor me, and answer me."
Caressing her cheek, Ethan looks deep into her eyes, "you. I was going to ask you to marry me."
Present
"God, why didn't I just follow my heart and ask Theresa to marry me? I know what I have to do now. I have to divorce Gwen, and find my Theresa. I can't go on like this."
Getting up from the sand, Ethan makes his way to his car, and then calls his lawyer to draw up divorce papers. Going back to the mansion, Ethan tracks down Fox.
"Hey, we need to talk."
"What do you want, bro?"
"I need to know where Theresa is."
"Can't tell you."
"Fox, look, I'm divorcing Gwen. I love Theresa. I want to be with her. Please, she needs me."
"She needs you? She needed you a few years ago when all this shit went down with Little Ethan, and where were you for her?"
"Fox, I was married to Gwen, I couldn't help Theresa."
"Whatever, Ethan."
"Fox, please, I know we aren't close, but we started to bond. Just please help me and tell me where Theresa is."
Seeing the love Ethan has for Theresa shine in his eyes, he sighs. "Look, I love Theresa, too, but obviously your love for her is much different than mine. If I tell you where she is, you have to swear that you will not hurt her. If you do, I swear to God I'll hurt you with my own hands. Do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal."
Fox sighs. "Fine. She's at the Castleton Inn last I knew. I haven't talked to her in a few days."
"Thank you, Fox. Thank you!"
As Ethan runs off, Fox sighs. "God, I hope you won't be mad at me, Theresa. Ethan loves you, I can see it in his eyes."
While Ethan drives down the highway, he prays. "God, Theresa, I hope you know how much I really love you, and I so hope you can forgive me for all the hurt I have put you through."
