James explains to Taylor how we was completely blindsided by Maggie's sudden departure. He then confides in his dear friend how he got drunk and apparently spent the night passed out in Sheila's bedroom. Taylor is alarmed and urges James to stop treating Sheila as he is far too involved with her. Still held captive, Maggie realizes that Mike kidnapped her on his own and out of love for Sheila. Somehow Maggie manages to get rid of her bonds and break out of the tiny apartment. Maggie is stunned to find herself at Pacific Park. When the amusement park closes for the night and Mike spots her, Maggie tries to escape. However, she runs further and further out on the pier until there is nowhere else to go but the sea. In Brentwood, James gently breaks it to Sheila that she needs a new shrink. Sheila then presents James with a letter that she wrote today and in which she expresses her feelings for him: eternal gratitude and love because he changed her life for the better.
