She is also engaged to a wealthy businessman. Alex, however, is persistent and continues to pursue Corinne. Phillip advises him to be careful and not to reveal his true identity too soon.

As Alex gets closer to Corinne, Miranda shares with him a letter that Louie wrote to her on the day he died, expressing his love for Corinne and his desire to spend the rest of his life with her.
