The sorcerer finally opened a door that leads to what looks like a cherry blossom tree where the lost books are located. The episode will have the title of What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands? and it will focus on him losing the love of his life, Christine Palmer, that instead of being alone in the accident, she was there and she was the casualty.
