“Are you screaming from the other side?
Believe me, I know what it’s like
To lay awake all through the night…”
~ The Silversun Pickups
August 1889.
Cor van Gogh visits Jo and Theo in Paris before leaving for the Transvaal. In St. Briac, Emile proposes to Charlotte but her father refuses since it’s obvious Emile cannot financially support a family on his own.
Outside of Bilbao, Tiena unpacks some boxes and discovers Samira’s oracle deck. Triggered by the find, she remembers her promise to Samira about the need to send a carefully worded letter. She stops unpacking and, while sitting on the veranda overlooking the city, composes one to Vincent.
Vincent receives Tiena’s letter and learns about Samira’s passing. Later that night, the howls of despair and madness from his fellow “brothers in suffering” take their toll. Unable to sleep and overcome with emotion, he eats paint and drinks turpentine in an attempt to end his suffering. Hearing the sounds of retching in the all, Pierre bursts into his room and stops him, saving his life.
Later, Pierre checks in on Vincent and shares the truth about how their paths crossed many years ago in a previous lifetime.
