Part 1: The story of The Art of Letting Go

Surgery is two weeks away. Olivia calls Henry to tell him. He's with Chloe and doesn't pick up. When she falls in the hallway, he doesn't reach for her. Chloe's test results come back on the same floor: she's pregnant. The staff congratulate Henry as if he's the father.

Henry carries Chloe through the hospital. Olivia watches, does the math and finds her doctor. She'll take the surgery. In fourteen days she'll start over and remember none of this. She doesn't tell Henry. It's the first thing she keeps from him, and it won't be the last.

Chloe has her own secrets. She says she's like a sister to Henry, brings up a promise he made her family, and then says the line that changes everything: Olivia was at the accident. By episode 5, Olivia has decided to forget, and Henry doesn't know he's being forgotten. No spoilers for the ending.
