“Oh, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right…”
~ The Eagles.
September & October 1989.
Michael travels to Berlin as part of the base soccer team and visits East Berlin. Meanwhile, Samina works on Ronit’s new movie, “Chandrika.” Later that night, she paints her mystery man from many a recurring dream while bathed in moonlight and begs him to return to her.
Before his last TDY to Sardinia, Michael receives a letter from Teena and discovers that Tran no longer works at the chow hall. Back in Dracut, Gary and his “on again, off again” girlfriend go to a concert in Boston.
Samina’s “Chandrika” is a huge hit hit, with her face plastered on billboards all over Bombay. On the way to her next film shoot, she wonders what the point of fame is when you don’t have anyone to share it with, and Rajani reminds her that anyone would be happy to trade places with her. Later that night, Michael climbs a building under construction behind dorm 11 and wonders why Teena bothered to reach out to him now.
