(soft music) - Love keeps drawing Alice and Jack back together.

Just an insatiable, undeniable, everlasting, that kind of really eternal bond like yin and yang.

- I was inspired to write the story chiefly by the following question.

Does love conquer all?

Are the forces that pull us together, that bond us to one another, stronger than the ones that would tear us apart?

- Jack, it's been two years.

- Two years, 200 years.

If you have somebody on their knees in front of you, you don't leave them waiting there, you help them up.

- [Victor] Love doesn't go away.

Even if the situation changes and we don't know exactly how, but we have the faith that it lives on.

(soft music) - The notion that there are certain loves in your life that can never be truly cut off, that can never be truly ended.

- We often crave something that's so far away from us 'cause we need it.

The connection that Jack and Alice have is so strong and unseverable that every time they resume, there's a sense of total comfort, ease, excitement.

It's scintillating.

They can't help but keep coming back to one another.

- You know, studies have shown that 99 out of a hundred people experience high anxiety the night before their wedding.

- No studies haven't.

- No, studies haven't, I made that up.

- When we say love story, we don't just mean romance and passion.

Remember the value of love.

Just because something doesn't last forever, doesn't mean it doesn't have immense value.

Just because something isn't going on right now, doesn't mean it isn't going on.

- Perhaps Alice's significant journey is letting love in.

- [Jack] Have you ever been with the same person twice?

- Tonight will be the first time.

- She can love very deeply, but being unable to be loved.

- The longer that time goes on, they get to know each other more, but they get to know themselves more as well in that time that they're apart.

- Whatever happens, I think we're gonna see each other again.

- And also a lot of things happen in the meantime.

Children are had and people get sick.

I think life passing through them is also part of the theme of the show.

- I just felt instinctively from the start that it ends the way it has to end.

That said, I think there are elements of the ending that are both sad and happy and that there are things to take away from the ending beyond just the plot.

- [Jack] I'll see you soon, darling.

To be continued.
