This episode if 100% re-used material, from [[I'm Not Crazy]], [[Lies]], [[Warheads]], [[On The Edge]]; the last 30 minutes comes from 'On the edge' | |||

the Vietnam War, then the Korean War, then WW2, then WW1, dressing | |||
appropriately, for each era, decorating her home and playing the music | |||
of their era. She makes each night the last night to heighten the | |||
drama. Eventually she visits military cemeteries, finds the dead more | |||
worthy of her love, sleeps on their graves.<ref name=crazy>originally aired in [[I'm Not Crazy]]</ref> | |||
