What is for the Best?
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 111153

"Yes," Jeppeline said after a few seconds during which she had stared intently at Fred. "There is another presence within Fred's mind, which presumably must be Hannah. It appears to be dormant and so would be unaware of recent events, but it would be quite easy to reawaken it, when it would resume control."
"But I don't want that!" Fred said. "Even though you would have to live the rest of your life as a man trapped in a female body? Would it not be better if I put an end to the Fred persona altogether, something that it would not be hard to do? Then there would be a happy Hannah instead of an unhappy Fred." "No, it wouldn't be better! I am real, whereas Hannah is an artificial construct. I would rather have an unhappy existence than none at all. And actually, being a woman wouldn't be so bad if I was in control of my body, was able to lead my own independent life and wasn't pregnant. So I don't think that I would be that unhappy." "I can understand that. But I must also consider Henry and your children. Would it be right to take away their wife and mother? I need to think deeply about this, to make sure that I do the right thing. What I suggest is that for now I limit myself to undoing the spell that is keeping the pregnancy on hold. Then once the baby has been born, the pair of you can come and see me again. That will give me a couple of months to decide what to do for the best." "All right," Henry said. "But can't you put Hannah back in control till then? It would be much better for me and the children" "No!" Fred objected. "What guarantee would I have that you would take me to see Jeppeline after the birth? I would be stuck with Hannah in control."
