At the hospital, Christy talks with Dr. Beckett, who wants to run more tests on Douglas so that they can find a medication that will alleviate his symptoms and make him as comfortable as possible...only Douglas doesn't want to come in for more tests, at least in part because he agrees with Frankie's New Age, spiritual approach to healing, which Beckett dismisses as unproven, saying that Douglas could well be rejecting the real help the hospital can give him. Christy says that Douglas is very stubborn once he's made up his mind, but she wants him to live as long and as comfortably as possible. When someone on a gurney is rushed by, Christy zones out and flashes back to when she herself was being rushed down a hospital corridor on a gurney as a doctor yelled that she was going into shock and they had to hurry. Beckett startles her back to reality and, thinking he offended her because of his rough-around-the-edges bedside manner, apologizes. Christy assures him she's all right and tells him that she'll talk to Douglas. Beckett gets beeped but gives Christy Douglas's medication before leaving to answer his page. After he's gone, Christy has another flashback--she's still on the gurney being rushed down a hospital corridor, but she can hear herself reciting what seems to be lines from a play in a voice that is out of it, fading in and out, and this time Cass is the one who startles her back to reality, and he startles her so much that after telling her he came to the hospital looking for her, he has to catch her before her knees buckle. Just what secrets is Christy Carson hiding? Thanks to Janie for the scenes.
Christy's flashbacks are just a tad off base....just the beginning!!
