  Variable A in M33 is a member of a rare class of highly luminous, evolved
stars near the upper luminosity boundary that show sudden and dramatic shifts
in apparent temperature due to the formation of optically thick winds in high
mass loss episodes. Recent optical and infrared spectroscopy and imaging reveal
that its ``eruption'' begun in $\sim$1950 has ended, {\it lasting $\approx$ 45
yrs}. Our current observations show major changes in its wind from a cool,
dense envelope to a much warmer state surrounded by low density gas with rare
emission lines of Ca II, [Ca II] and K I. Its spectral energy distribution has
unexpectedly changed, especially at the long wavelengths, with a significant
decrease in its apparent flux, while the star remains optically obscured. We
conclude that much of its radiation is now escaping out of our line of sight.
We attribute this to the changing structure and distribution of its
circumstellar ejecta corresponding to the altered state of its wind as the star
recovers from a high mass loss event.
