## History

### *Winter's Tales*

#### *Choosing Paths*

"*Your daughter is* beautiful*, Edwin. So proud of you and Lorelei. How have you been all these years?*"
—Krystine to Edwin

Krystine and her husband, Pierre, arrive at the family reunion, and Lorelei greets them, happy that they drove all the way up from Walla Walla. They embrace, and Pierre says that it's delightful to see her again, asking if her lupus is flaring up. She confirms that it is, but she's taking her medication, pleasing her mother, who inquires about dinner. Lorelei states that it'll be ready soon, but in the meantime, they can meet their granddaughter, Winter. Krystine questions if she's here, and Winter, appearing from behind the sofa, verifies that she is indeed present. She stops in front of her grandparents and bows, and amused, Lorelei introduces her. Pierre sweeps her into his arms, and both he and Krystine point out just how similar she is to Lorelei. Edwin, momentarily complaining about everyone who keeps pointing out his lack of traits in Winter, greets Krystine and Pierre, and Krystine informs him that his daughter is beautiful, asking how he's been.

Edwin confirms that he's been fine, and Pierre, ruffling Winter's bangs, says that it's a pleasure to meet her. Steph approaches, calling out to Krystine and Pierre; the latter remarks that she's grown, questioning if she's about to start her senior year of high school, and Steph mentions her commitment to Washington State University. Krystine encourages her to rock the house, high-fiving her, and she and Pierre proceed to hug Brody and Fanny. Later, Krystine and Pierre eat dinner in the dining room. When Lewis accuses Winter of wanting to drink alcohol herself, Krystine angrily surmises that even if she did, he coerced her into doing it in the first place.

#### *Transformations*

Winter mentions that the Holocaust occurred before the birth of her grandparents and paternal grandmother.

#### *Dawn Will Bring Us Death*

Winter worries about the health of her maternal grandparents, hoping they are alright. Her mother verifies this - if anything happens to them, Willie will inform her. Surprised, Winter questions if Willie is still living in Texas, and Lorelei clarifies that while he still does, her parents' signal only hooks up to his phone, which she'll have to fix someday. She encourages her to not be so concerned over them or her father, as besides, her grandparents are in assisted living. Winter is relieved with the knowledge of her grandparents living their best life, hoping to see them again as she hopes with her father. In the fall, Winter notes that her grandparents are doing fine in assisted living, albeit starting to lose their memory due to age, and she mentions that they like her haircut. When Lorelei dies, Krystine and Pierre attend her funeral, now walking with a cane and roller, respectively, and having a difficult time with perception. Winter observes that her mother's death has directly impacted them. Throughout the funeral, they weep, and they share their eulogy cherishing Lorelei via the help of Rabbi Kealer.

#### *Return of Snowlight*

Winter reunites with her extended family at the mall, including her maternal grandparents.
