The Things We Leave Unfinished

Scarlett and Jameson make love as their parting draws hear. Jameson wants her to take his phonograph with her, and Scarlett insists he must bring it himself. Jameson and his squadron are flying back from a mission in Germany and are over the Netherlands when German fighters attack. Jameson is hit and goes down. He asks Howard to tell Scarlett he loves her.

Noah examines the documents he has found and misses Georgia. His sister Adrienne brings him coffee. She reminds Noah that he lives in the real world where he can’t script a grand gesture, telling him that relationships require work, and people make mistakes. Georgia texts to say she read both endings and he should go with the real one, adding that he shouldn’t “[…] doubt [his] ability to rip someone’s heart out” (360). Noah decides to prove that he loves her.

Scarlett is working on a story when she hears a knock at the door. She sees Jameson’s squadron on her doorstep and steels herself, asking if Jameson is dead. Howard says he went down on the coast of the Netherlands. Scarlett asks them to find him. Constance arrives and consoles Scarlett, who is numb with shock.
