Answer: Paradiso Perduto

When Finn first saw Paradiso Perduto he was on a job with his Uncle Joe but Ms. Dinsmoor did not allow them to work and just slipped a check under the door. Finn looked around on the grounds and saw the remnants of the wedding that never took place because Ms. Dinsmoor's fiancé never showed up.

This garden is where Finn saw Estelle for the first time, when he was ten. When they got home that day Maggie informed them that Ms. Dinsmoor wanted Finn to come over on Saturday to play with her niece. Joe was confused because she never even saw either of them.

Answer: Estella

Finn "I knew that little girl and I saw the light in her eyes, and no matter what you say or do, that's still what I see."

Estella "We are who we are. People don't change."

Finn had just finished painting nude portraits of Estelle (her idea) in his New York apartment when she suddenly got up got dressed and left. Finn bolted out of the apartment after her, got in her cab and basically asked her why she continued to play with his emotions. This was a beautiful moment when we saw the emotion that was trapped in Estella emerge. As said in the ending, he really did know her.

Answer: Paris

What could her reasons be if not to make me equal with Estella?" He felt that Ms. Dinsmoor wanted him to prove his love to her by making them equal in social standings of society.
