Comment(s):
- This story begins five days before Vanessa's birthday, during mid-terms at Harvard.
Synopsis: - The surprise birthday party Eileen planned for Vanessa is a disaster when Princess Diana doesn't show up on time. When Vanessa accuses her mother of lying Julia slaps her. When Diana finally shows up a very upset Eileen runs home. Diana visits her in her home. Eileen told Diana she was not invited to the party because she didn't want Wonder Woman stealing all the attention from Vanessa.
- After Vanessa's psychiatrist tells Julia about her daughter's nightmares of all her loved ones coming late to her birthday party dead, she asks Diana to distance herself from Vanessa. Vanessa's troubles have their roots in her father dying on her fifth birthday. Diana and Hermes's presence in Steve Trevor's life have driven a stake between him and Etta Candy. Steve tells Diana that he has to stay away from her to get back control of his life. Finally, Diana's own mother, Queen Hippolyta, tells Diana that in order to increase the effectiveness of the Amazon's mission in Patriarch's world, she must distance herself from Diana. Feeling more alone than ever before, Diana returns home to Themyscira to cry herself to sleep in her own bed.
