Meg's addiction is causing problems again - now with her toddler daughter. Christine, Madame Giry and Gregory Gangle (Meg's husband) look for solutions. (Repost because original post used HTML codes - tried using copy & paste - it didn't work. :(
Erik recalls past injuries.
Issues with Meg arise - Gangle seeks help from Adele, who then seeks assistance from Nadir.
Christine and Erik play chess.
Erik calls upon Nadir to help him with Emilie's lessons. Memories of the past come up for both men.
Christine finds a weakness in Erik's facade of physical strength.
During some private time, Erik discovers as much about himself as his eldest (spoiled) daughter.
Squabbles between Margaret and Emilie have Erik questioning how good a father he is. Angelique reassures him he's doing just fine.
A brief history of the mask in Erik's life.
Meg is unable to dance any longer, but when Erik offers her a new song to sing, old memories arise.
Unable to dance anymore, Erik offers Meg a new song to perform. Unfortunately, it only reminds her of the past.
While helping with the birth of Gustave and Julia's child, Christine recalls how Meg influenced her taking Carlotta's place in Hannibal, Adele's help in getting her a raise, and how the event led to the change in her relationship with the Angel of Music.
Awaiting the birth of his first child, Gustave reminisces about his relationship with is own family including the announcement to Erik and Christine about Julia's pregnancy.
While satisfying, Erik's visit to the Church finds him panicky as he returns to the Opera House. Memories of the past - rise up and his only thought is to find Christine to calm him, even if only as The Angel of Music.
After missing Mass with the ballet "rats," Christine has thoughts about friendship and companionship - particularly in regard to her relationship with the Angel of Music.
Erik settles himself in his hiding place in a confessional at the L'église de la Madeleine, only to find Christine is not there. Unable to leave without being seen, he settles in, ruminating on his past when an unexpected penitent appears.
Christine misses Mass with the other dancers and questions continuing the practice at all.
Erik thinks back on his life living beneath the opera house before Christine and what a smile can do. This is the partner to A-Musings - Christine. Same time period, but from Erik's POV. This is similar to how I wrote Sing for Me and She Sang for Me.
Christine learns to laugh and smile again after her father's death.
An alternate ending to the musical.
