“If I said I’d lost my way
Would you sympathize?
Could you sympathize?”
~ Echo and the Bunnymen.
December 1888.
Recently engaged to Jo, Theo arrives in Arles on the Christmas Eve train. He makes arrangements for Gauguin to accompany him back to Paris, then visits Vincent in the hospital. Later that night on the train back to Paris, Theo notices two on Vincent’s paintings in Gauguin possession who claims them as gifts from Vincent. Meanwhile, word of Vincent’s “antics” reach Collette, causing her to worry about gossip and the possible damage to Gaby’s reputation.
Samira arrives in Seville and learns that Danior, the man who killed her father, hasn’t been exiled from the Gitano community. In fact, Isolda warns her that they have been banished by the “Kris” and are considered “outsiders.” When Samira shares about her pregnancy, Isolda warns her not to share this information outside of the home since her from Arles will likely cause trouble for them both.
Meanwhile, both Paulette and Gaby are relieved to learn that the wrong name was reported in connection with Vincent’s episode in the red light district. Paulette warns Gaby to keep the secret between them. Back in Paris, Gauguin arrives in time for Prado’s execution and fights his way through the crowd to get a better view, delighting in the spectacle.
