Yesterday evening she received the visit of James, who was on his way to Boston to meet Coleman; he brought a letter from Bette, he waited for an answer, following Bette’s instructions; the letter was clear and concise

‘Tina, I need to see you, I need to be with you; I know you want to protect me, but what is   the point if I’m dying far away from you, please baby, come to the party, I will bring my clothes for the wedding, and we will stay together all the weekend; I really need you, please tell James that you will be there and I will attend too, otherwise, I will die here alone. I love you with all my being.

Forever Yours.

Bette’

After Tina read the missive, her heart shrank, she, Tina, is also dying alone missing her beloved brunette; she answered James that she will attend the party, she also needs Bette. That evening Tina looked in her wardrobe until finding something acceptable to wear; she found a purple cocktail dress sleeveless with strips hanging on the shoulders and the hem a little far above the knees, and now, she is driving toward Helena’s house with her hands firm on the steering wheel, and her heart melting, thinking on her ex, who is the only medicine she really needs to feel better to keep going, her only reason to live.

Bette is, also, now arriving at the party, she has all her hopes on seeing Tina around, but she was also very strained by the current situation, she has been notified by Jane and Maura about more strange victims; however what makes her terrified was the news from Louise; the blonde showed up at her apartment two nights ago with alarming and frightening news.

Bette: “Louise, I was looking for you for more than one month, we have problems…, Tina has problems…”

Louise: “do you think that I don’t know…? I was working the way to discover what triggered all this madness and to find what they want”

Bette: “we knew what is happening, but you were nowhere to find”

Louise: “I know what is happening…, there are officially 9 victims all of them former gays, lesbians or bisexuals, but there are at least 6 more disappeared, at least two of them have already been brain-washed and recruited; I know from trustable sources that they will come for the Fairbanks’ heirs, for you, James, Kelly and Helena, they may try to take Maura and Carmen and perhaps Lena and Jodi, so, we have to protect them”
