Annie returns to Mystic, the logging community where she grew up. Annie was the first in her family in two generations to leave Mystic. When she arrives at the house of her father, Hank Bourne, he asks what is wrong, she explains that Blake left her. He hugs her and remembers the time he had to tell her of her mother’s death. Hank reassures his daughter that her husband still loves her and will come back to her. Her room still has the yellow wallpaper that her mother picked out for her so many years ago.
Annie waits for Blake to call her and say that he made a mistake, but he never does. Her father insists that she go see the doctor because she does not look well. The doctor talks to her about depression, and she explains her situation and agrees to take medication for depression. She feels good when Dr. Burton wants to check on her again and asks her to make a follow-up appointment.
When Annie returns to her father, he tells her that Blake will change his mind but that she has to do something with her time.
