“Well, lift me from the wondermaze
Alienation is the craze
And it’s all gonna happen to you…”
~ The Cars.
June & July 1890.
As Marguerite sits at the piano playing her mom’s favorite tune, Vincent paints. During their session, Marguerite reveals a family secret about her father which wounds Vincent to his core. Unknown to them, Catherine overhears their conversation and shares the details with Dr. Gachet while Marguerite writes in her diary later that night.
Theo, Jo and the baby make a trip to Auvers and have lunch with Vincent at Dr. Gachet’s house. And though everything seems fine on the surface, Theo picks up on an undercurrent of tension at the table. After their meal, Theo takes a walk with Vincent and inquires about his relationship with the doctor, and though Vincent doesn’t reveal Marguerite’s secret, informs his brother that they shouldn’t rely on Dr. Gachet.
After Theo and Jo return to Paris, Catherine informs Vincent that he’s no longer welcome in the house but is free to visit the grounds. While a devastated Marguerite watches him leave from her bedroom window, her brother Paul is delighted by the turn of events.
