The metaphor of the chrysalis is examined and the process that the caterpillar undergoes reveals that it does not lead to it becoming a better caterpillar, but to becoming a completely different creature entirely. This lesson implies that when we fall apart and we put ourselves back together again, we don't return to where we were before we fell apart - to becoming a better caterpillar - but to becoming a completely different person. That leads Deborah and Brenda into a discussion about the therapeutic value of being more vulnerable and recognizing that where we are most wounded is often where our soul is hiding, waiting to emerge.
