Though the guilt of his incarceration weighs heavy on her shoulders, Parker has no regrets for accepting the plea-deal that put him in a state correctional facility for the actions he took to save her that day, and simply looks forward to getting back to his life when he's released.Fortified by his return, Isobel throws herself back into her old life as well, and for a time things seem to be back to normal.
