Greenlee waits patiently for Ryan to wake up, but he continues to lay unconscious. Sitting by his bed, she urges him to wake up because the doctors told her that the longer he sleeps, the less likely he is to regain consciousness. Greenlee goes out in the hall and when Kendall tries to go see Ryan, Greenlee stands in her way outside. Kendall explains that she did not shoot Ryan, but Greenlee does not care. She says that it does not change the words Kendall spoke-it does not change the fact that Kendall said she wanted Ryan dead. Kendall pleads to go tell Ryan she is not guilty, but Greenlee says Ryan is not awake. "He may never wake up," she whispers before leaving.

Ethan brushes past him and when Zach follows him out, Maria tries to find out what is going on. They go to Maria's office, where Zach says that Pine Valley is already prosecuting Ethan because he is a Cambias, similar to what they feel he did with Michael. Suddenly, Maria realizes that Zach is upset because Ethan is his son.
