While on holiday, Lena shows Erin an old photo of a woman who looks exactly like her. Initially, Erin dismisses the resemblance. However, when Lena reveals she is dying of cancer, Erin admits that it is her and that there are other historical images of her. She confesses that as a result of a strange encounter, she has lived for centuries. Desperate to save Lena, Erin tries to pass the gift on. But what transfers is not immortality alone. Lena is healed, and Erin finally understands the horror she has passed on.
