Stephen is shown to have visited Catherine's estranged, wayward son, Nicholas, at the department store where he works, to discreetly deliver him a copy of The Perfect Stranger. Another flashback shows Catherine visiting Nancy, who is dying of cancer and berates Catherine for her role in Jonathan's passing. She demands to meet Nicholas, telling Catherine that he would not be alive if not for Jonathan; Catherine refuses and leaves in a panic. In the present, Stephen delivers a copy of the book to Robert's office via his secretary, also including copies of Jonathan's photos. A disgusted Robert recognizes the photos from his and Catherine's vacation in Italy 15 years ago. Robert confronts Catherine with the photos, believing her to have had an affair after he was called away from the trip for work. A tearful Catherine says that the man who took the photos died. Before she can explain further, Robert angrily storms out of the house with the book and drives away.
