Sarah wakes in the hospital with an intubation tube in her mouth. A nurse asks her to do simple tasks, and Sarah suddenly remembers the car crash. As she begins to panic, the nurse says that they need to put her back to sleep so that she can rest.

Sarah wakes again, and doctors remove her intubation tube. She touches her head, which feels like it is on fire. She now has metal staples covering her head. Sarah falls asleep again.

When she wakes again, Bob is there. He tries to reassure her that she is fine, but Sarah can tell that her situation is serious. She has been kept sedated for eight days following surgery to relieve the pressure on her brain. Bob begins to cry, shocking Sara. She has never seen him cry in the 10 years they have been together.

Sarah asks if the children know about her condition, but Bob told them that she is away for work. Sarah asks if her work knows. Bob says that they sent most of the cards on the wall and that she should not worry about anything. Sarah looks at the wall but does not see any cards.

Sarah feels sore and exhausted, but hungry, so Bob goes to find a nurse.
