Anna thinks back to a time when Kate was asking her the best way to die and Anna didn't want to talk about it. As Jesse and Anna arrive at the hospital he gives her cab fair for the way home then Jesse stumbles through the hallways screaming pretending to be drunk to get his mom out of the hospital room. It works and she comes out taking Jesse away to get some coffee. Anna again thinks back to a time when Kate was in relapse and the family was playing football and Jesse tackled Kate forgetting that she was fragile and Kate couldn't have been any happier to be treated like a normal person. Once in Kate's room Anna crawls up in bed with Kate and they lye there together.
