When she sees the damaged painting, Ben tells Bette that Maria intentionally didn't paint her face on the portrait, because she felt that what was most important was on the inside, and that she painted herself in the swing because the swing was soothing to her. Bette suggests that Ben have the painting repaired and give it to Carmen. Later, Ben brings a man from a gallery to give an estimate on repairing the portrait. Meg persuades Maria to go to St. Joseph's with her. Maria is overwhelmed by the wedding chapel. When Meg goes to meet with Antonio, Maria stays in the chapel, because it makes her feel warm and safe. However, later, she has an episode of some sort.
