Before the arrival of Count Albert Morgan at the Moore Mansion, Vivian and Beatrix had lengthy conversations about life, love, and lingering attachments.
Still hung up on her feelings, Beatrix was unable to let go of the many years ' old fantasies she had developed one-sidedly toward Ian Grayson overnight.
Vivian felt as though she was trying to convince two different people with a single argument about Beatrix's bipolar nature, racing against the next personality shift that could erase any progress made with the other. These rapid changes kept Vivian on edge, though she suspected some were defense mechanisms rooted in Beatrix's subconscious from childhood traumas.
These personality shifts were not just out of Beatrix's control; they were hindering her healing process, and Vivian felt compelled to play along with the madness for hours until she felt that the many parts of Beatrix were finally coming together, reaching a point of stable thinking and rationality.
