John tells Leah about his strange phone call with Irene. They decide to pay her another visit at the rehab clinic the next morning, although she's not happy to see them again so soon.
As John pushes for answers on what's troubling Irene, she explains that being back in the Bay would trigger painful memories for her and perhaps cause her to relapse again. John convinces Irene that she's strong and would have plenty of support, so Irene packs her bags to return home. Is she ready to face the Bay again?
