The theme of this episode is about choice. There is an opportunity and a consequence to each choice that we make in life. In this story, 18-year-old Anne Marie Henderson is on a routine horseback ride near her father's estate. She is engaged and her engagement party is later that night. She suddenly encounters a menacing middle-aged woman dressed in black approaching her on horseback. Unsurprisingly frightened, she flees back to her father's estate where she is comforted by her parents and her fiancée though he makes an insensitive joke about the whole ordeal. Suddenly, her childhood sweetheart and ex-fiancée barges into the estate, pleading for one more chance. Her parents clearly don't approve of the ex and while Anne Marie is clearly upset that her ex is there, she doesn't necessarily tell him to leave, indicating she still has feelings for him. Flash forward to the present where the mysterious woman is actually Anne Marie herself, a depressed, destitute, and drunken woman. This is all because of the decisions she made that fateful night.
This is an interesting episode that signifies that in everyone's life there is that so called "fork in the road" moment. To me what brings this episode down a notch is why did the "older" Anne Marie suddenly stopped chasing the "younger" Anne Marie? And also think of the logic of the episode. "Older" Anne Marie knew where her father's estate was back then, why not go there to warn her? These are some of the things that were left out in this episode, but it does talk about our life choices that we make. I give this a 6 out of 10.
