Poor Eric couldn't appreciate the jaunty montage that preceded Donna coming into his hospital room. As for Donna, she was horrified to see Honey Bear on a respirator. Bridget soon showed up to explain Eric's condition to her. "It's a waiting game," she said, grimly, talking about how there were no miracle cures. Bridget and Auntie Donna held hands over Eric's still form and cried a lot. Bridget told Donna that long-term care for Eric at home would be incredibly hard on her. Donna refused to give up hope.

At Nick's, Jackie came down from playing with Jack and wondered if Nick misses Katie. At the hospital, pregnant Katie haltingly assured Bridget she's fine and apologized for scaring her clueless niece. When Bridget went into the hall, Katie pleaded with Dr. Patrick to stay mum and then reeled from the revelation. Cue a flashback to Catalina and Nick "comforting" the transplant patient. Bridget caught her crying. Katie started rambling about "this sick joke," and pleaded with Bridget to go. Then, Dr. Caspary talked about how high risk the pregnancy is and how it could lead to Katie rejecting her heart again. Overwhelmed Katie nearly passed out, but she rallied in time for Dr. Caspary to talk about what a medical miracle she is. (Of course!) Back at the Marone manse, Jackie and Nick kept discussing the Bridget vs. Katie situation. Finally alone, Katie called Nick to meet her at the Marlin, "now." On the water, Katie thought about how wonderful Bridget is and choked on her guilt. "We need to talk," she told Nick when he arrived. As he grew increasingly worried by her silence, the screen went black.
