The arrival of her parents opens up old wounds for Elizabeth Webber

The past year has been tough on Elizabeth. First, she was stalked by a mystery person who shredded her wedding dress and torched Franco Baldwin’s (Roger Howarth) art. Later Elizbther was revealed as the stalker because of a sleepwalking episode.

Her family and friends rallied around her, but Elizabeth rejected the idea of inviting her parents to come to visit. Elizabeth has a lot of resentment toward Jeff and Carolyn, and thanks to Kevin’s hypnosis, she’s gaining a clearer picture.

During her sessions, Elizabeth recalls seeing a woman, later identified as Reiko Finn (Mele Ihara), at the end bottom of a staircase. Elizabeth was later shocked to learn Reiki is Hamilton Finn’s (Michael Easton) late wife. Elizabeth is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery and seeks her parents’ help.

Jeff and Carolyn’s visit will provide her with answers and allow Elizabeth to unleash her pent-up hurt against her parents. The family reunion won’t be joyful, but it’ll be emotional as Elizabeth faces her past.
