Chapter 48 Summary: “Broken Records (1986)”

When Henry doesn’t hear from Marty for a few weeks, he visits Marty in his dorm. Samantha has suggested that Henry return the sketchbooks to their rightful owner, but Henry disagrees. He feels he let Keiko go all those years ago, that he had a chance and didn’t take it.

Chapter 49 Summary: “Hearthstone (1986)”

Having heard the news that Sheldon is near death, Henry rushes to the nursing home to visit him. Sheldon tells Henry that he needs to “fix it.” Thinking he is referring to the broken Oscar Holden record, Henry brightens. But then Sheldon clarifies that he isn’t talking about the record but about the real reason why Henry was always looking for that record.

Chapter 50 Summary: “Tickets (1986)”

Henry visits Bud’s Jazz Records to see if the Oscar Holden record can be fixed, but unfortunately it’s broken beyond repair. He returns home to find his best suit spread out on the bed with a plane ticket to New York in the pocket.
