The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett

Eudora has been helping Maggie with the baby: Typically, Rose fetches her, and Eudora then watches the baby and keeps Rose occupied while Maggie rests. Rose is worried about going back to school soon.

Eudora heads to the doctor’s office to get her living will signed and to obtain copies of her medical records to send to the Swiss clinic. She’s particularly tired and her heart feels weaker than usual. The doctor examines her, prescribes antibiotics for a chest infection, and orders an echocardiogram to check her heart.

A flashback to 1964 depicts Sam and Eudora happy together and in love. However, Sam’s ex-wife, Judith, had made it difficult for Sam to see his children. When Judith decided to move with the children to Norwich, Sam asked Eudora to move there with him so that he could stay close to his children. Eudora was hesitant to leave her life in London, worried about her mother, but promised to speak with her about a move. When Eudora returned home, however, she found a note from her mother and rushed upstairs to see that Beatrice had taken many pills. Beatrice told Eudora that she just wanted Eudora to be happy.
