The Good Part

Roisin invites Lucy to come to Mykonos for the weekend. Lucy would love to go, but she sees that all the things she loves about her new timeline—husband, children, dream job—all require her to be present. She can no longer drop everything and take a vacation.

Lucy visits Mr. Finkley to invite him to Felix’s birthday party, and he is delighted to accept. He rarely receives invitations of any kind, so he is touched by this one. He asks Lucy to call him by his first name, Leonard.

In bed, Sam tells Lucy that the doctor wants her to go back in for a follow-up, and he and Lucy end up fighting about Sam being in love with a different version of Lucy. She is upset at all the things that she missed by skipping ahead in time. Sam takes her to the backyard to show her a tree and plaque memorializing their daughter, Chloe Zoya Rutherford. The baby only lived two weeks. Sam tells her that “The Pulse of Love,” the last song he ever wrote, was about love for the unborn Chloe. The pain after her passing and its negative reception by the public caused him to give up writing original songs.
