Jenna manages to sneak rides all the way to the elephant sanctuary. Just as she begins to wonder how she’ll find Gideon now that she’s there, she runs right into him. He recognizes her immediately and takes her to see Maura. The elephant also remembers her.

When Jenna questions Gideon about the night of the accident, he has no useful answers to offer her. He is just as confused as to why Alice would have run away alone. He says it was her plan all along to run away with him and take Jenna, too.

This gives the girl a strong sense of validation that her mother really wanted her. Gideon speculates that something must have gone terribly wrong with Alice’s plan. He feels just as abandoned as Jenna.

He admits that he loved Alice and wanted to marry her. He also wanted to take care of Jenna and the baby. This is the first time Jenna hears that her mother was pregnant with Gideon’s child. The news leaves her stunned, and she runs away. She calls Serenity, begging for help.
