Anna's Place: she can make neither heads nor tails out of Gilbert's writings and tells Ben that some people shouldn't journal. Oh honey, I see you've been perusing Fandom Wank. She says, "Don't you have a date?" Ben does -- with our Bonnie -- so he leans in for a kiss goodbye, but Ben dear, Anna's into the journal and she's just not that into you. She pushes him away. We hear Jonathan Gilbert's voice: "I saw her again today, the most beautiful woman in town, with a name just as pretty: Pearl." Oh, no wonder Anna was transfixed. We cut to...

1864: Pearl is still trying to encourage Katherine to cut and run, but Katherine has a couple of things left to do. Pearl knows that means she intends to turn the Brothers Salvatore. She cautions Katherine, who promises she'll be careful. Anna and Emily sit idly by -- listening. When Jonathan Gilbert shows, Katherine pinches Pearl's cheeks so they'll be appealingly pink. Gilbert requests Pearl's presence outside. She seems into him too, and asks him to explain the comet "in the sky" as opposed to the gutter, I guess. Once they're outside, Katherine leans in toward Anna and smiles salaciously. "Your mother has an admirer." Anna and Emily share an equally joyful but less loaded look.
