Stefano sends a few SOS signals, but stops to tell her the story of the Count of Monte Cristo. Hope doesn't understand the point of his story. Stefano says that revenge for those he hated kept the count going all those years, and that is what is keeping him going. Stefano once again starts talking about names and how well they fit people. He says that her mother must have been very optimistic when she named her. Hope says that her mother was very sick with cancer, yet she refused to take drugs and treatments because it would have harmed her. Hope says that in the end, her mother sacrificed her life for her. Stefano says that is what a parent will do for a child. Suddenly, the spider crawls onto Hope's bare leg, and it bites her! Hope cries out that something bit her, and Stefano sees the spider on the floor. He stomps on it, and then looks at Hope's leg, which has a huge red splotch on it.
