Summary
Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off,
And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark.
Do not for ever with thy vailed lids
Seek for thy noble father in the dust:
Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die,
Passing through nature to eternity.- William Shakespeare, Hamlet
Gillian does her best to refuse to live with the ghost of her mother. It gets a little more complicated when October comes back.

Summary
Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother’s death
The memory be green, and that it us befitted
To bear our hearts in grief, and our whole kingdom
To be contracted in one brow of woe,
Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature
That we with wisest sorrow think on him
Together with remembrance of ourselves.- William Shakespeare, Hamlet
Toby is gone for fourteen years. Cliff does his best to put Gillian first.
