Edmund talks it over with Olivia trying to get her to come in on his plans to murder Reva/Catherine.

She could remember things they talked about, things they did, what she was feeling, but nothing about what she was thinking at the time. She pressed Richard to duplicate the night until she learned they made love. Reva decided to call it a night then and left Richard outside alone. Richard thought of how close he and his Catherine had become and knew that if he waited a while longer, he would have his Catherine back, completely.
