Synopsis (via Lifetime)
Caroline and Henry’s 30-year marriage faces upheaval when he’s diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. As Henry’s memory deteriorates, Caroline finds comfort in friendship with Leo while coping with losing her partner.
Recap/Wine Thoughts
Valerie Bertinelli is playing Caroline, who is celebrating 35 years of marriage with her husband, Henry. They are planning a trip to Italy to celebrate, and Henry is set to retire from his job as a judge. Valerie Bertinelli volunteers at a hospital gift shop, where Erik McCormack works. He plays Leo, a widowed anesthesiologist.
Henry is forgetting little things he should know, like his cousin’s name, the security code, the days of the week, paying the dry cleaning, and changing words incorrectly. Their kids, Adam and Rachel, are too self-absorbed to notice, and Valerie Bertinelli is considering working at the gift shop. When she tells Henry, he forgot she was even working at the hospital. Major red flags.
Valerie Bertinelli comes home to find her husband swimming in the pool, wearing only socks and underwear. She also finds unpaid bills, forks in his robes, and begs Henry to go see the doctor. The doctor says everything looks fine, but Valerie Bertinelli knows something is off. She vents to Leo, and he tells her to trust her intuition.
Henry deteriorates quickly, going missing in the middle of the night and falling into the lake. He drinks heavily and is confusing his kids, who are in High School, for being fully grown. He falls and cuts his arm and ends up in the ER. The ER doc clears him, too. Leo checks in, too, and doesn’t want to tell Valerie Bertinelli his diagnosis.
A neurologist tells them that Henry has early-onset Alzheimer’s that he has been masking for years. By Christmas, he is singing nursery rhymes, and it becomes clear that Valerie Bertinelli is in over her head as a caregiver. The kids aren’t much help and try to get their father to remember them, but that is not how it works. Unfortunately.
Leo and Valerie Bertinelli run into one another at the park and have coffee. He tells her she needs to take care of herself, and they set a standing date at the dog park. They play basketball and almost make out. Valerie Bertinelli tries to put space between them, out of respect for Henry. Still, Leo becomes someone who can help her take care of Henry. They start looking into nursing home options.
Rachel catches Leo dropping off her mom and accuses her of cheating. Valerie Bertinelli breaks all her wine glasses in a fit of rage, but once she calms down, she arranges for hospice care.
Henry dies, and Valerie Bertinelli cries in the closet into his clothing. She finds his phone in his shoes. After charging the phone, Valerie Bertinelli plays a message from Henry. He tells her to find a new life and thanks her for making his so special.
After wiping away the tears, Valerie Bertinelli gets with Leo and starts her second love story. They go to Italy and take that trip she was supposed to go on with Henry. Damn, Valerie Bertinelli is one cold B. Rachel may never forgive her for this one.
STRAY Thought
Valerie Bertinelli has been in TV movies her whole life. That is wild.

I am a lifetime junkie! This is the first time I have ever written a comment. However, this movie Love Again! Was so impactful – a movie that had me in tears. The acting was so realistic! I have been a fan of Valerie Bertinelli since her time on One Day at a time! We are close in age. I also enjoy watching Eric MacCormack through the years! This movie was awesome! Having lost both parents not to Alzheimer’s but health issues, whose minds were in tact and bodies failed them, due disease , not sure which is more devastating losing your mind first or your body. But they were in their 80’s, not as young as this movie represented. But having friends who list their dads to Alzheimer’s, This movie was riveting! Great acting by all!
I can’t wait to watch. My grandpa passed away from Alzheimer’s as well. I’m sorry to hear about your parents.
Sorry for your loss, Patrick ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you
I enjoyed this movie so much! It was a little hard to watch, because I lost my mom to Alzheimers several years ago. All the actors did a wonderful job. I’ve been a fan of Valerie Bertinellis for a long time. If you get a chance , watch this movie!!
I’m sorry for your loss and I am glad Lifetime told a this story because a lot of people can relate.
Geez ladies, can’t you wait until your dying husband is in the ground before hooking up with someone else? Is that too much to ask?
Oh, Damn!
My husband had Alzheimer’s and this movie covered every emotion we both went through. Being a caregiver is one of the hardest jobs I’ve ever had, but I was honored to take care of my husband. Watching this movie… I cried for everyone and it brought back a lot of memories, not necessarily good ones. This is a movie everyone who is dealing with a loved one who has received this diagnosis needs to watch.
