 It
is during the Christmas holidays of 1986 that Gina's path crosses her
guardian angel's. Becky, during her meeting with Gina while she regains
consciousness after having taken an electric shock, explains to her that
she is an angel, that she is her guardian angel. But in reality, as
Becky says, she is not quite an angel yet because she is here to earn
her wings… Becky's appearance is however not that of an angel at the
time of her appearance in front of Gina : she is dressed with a black
shirt with lace and an old hat of pink color and feathers (the guardian
angel is live up to Gina !).
Her
mission is to realize Gina's wish, and to show her her impact on the
others' lives. After having tried to capture all Gina's attention (many
times, Becky raises her eyes to the sky, aware of the difficulty of the
mission entrusted to her), Becky accompanies her with the main
characters of Santa Barbara to measure the impact of her absence. Just
as in Capra's film It's a Wonderful Life,
from which this episode is freely inspired, Gina discovers that the life
of the others would be different without her. Amy would be alive, Eden
and Cruz would always be together and Mason would live happily with the
love of his life, Mary... It is her supposed part of responsibility in
Mary's death that awakens Gina's consciousness.
If
the first stages of the journey of Becky and Gina are dark, the
following ones are happier. Because, Becky gives hope to Gina : without
her, Brandon would have gone wrong, Hayley would not be with Ted, and
Kelly would be in prison.
Becky
touched Gina's heart and soul forever. If Becky becomes an angel, Gina
remains the same; she was nevertheless very close to change and to give
the videotape exonerating Kelly to C.C....
