  Clay and Gwen are sitting in a visiting room at Dunellen. They are 
debating the issue of whether Curtis should be released or not. She's 
being a mother, saying he's getting better and he didn't know what he was 
doing when he tried to kill her.
Clay: "If Curtis comes home before he's ready, he could be dangerous to 
himself, to us." 
Curtis is standing in the doorway listening to his father.

  At the hospital, Charles is thinking about Angie talking Jacob into 
putting the gun down. Alex comes in asking if he was there all night. He 
tries to joke with him but Charles is worried about Angie's concern for 
Jacob.
 
  Jacob's come through the surgery but he's still in a coma. Angie is 
keeping a vigil by his side. She has a flashback to Jessie in the hospital.

Curtis pauses then enters the room. He greets his parents with hugs. He 
tells them he feels great and  he's been working out. Gwen and Curtis 
talk and joke a bit and then he asks his father why so quiet. He makes 
light of the situation and tries to convince Clay he's better.
Clay: " I'm just not sure you're ready to come home yet, that's all."
Curtis: "Is it that I'm not ready or you're not ready to have your imperfect
son back in your life?"

Charles is telling Alex that he understands the concern Angie is showing 
for Jacob but it still bugs the hell out of him. Behind them, we see an 
orderly, a woman, and a patient in a wheelchair. 
Charles: "isn't he supposed to be in police custody?"
They confront Danny and his lawyer/sister. Danny smarts off and she 
immediately quiets him. As he sits there with that smug look on his face, 
she introduces herself to Charles. Jocelyn Brown is checking him out of 
the hospital. She says he was arraigned this morning, in absentia.
Jocelyn:" He's out on bail, released into my custody."
The guys look suspicious, she shows them the papers.

Angie tells Jacob to hang in there, that he's going to make it. Another 
flashback, then she picks up his hand and caresses it to her face.

Clay seems intent on keeping Curtis in the hospital. He says Curtis has 
only been there a few months.
Curtis:" Why do you want to keep me in here? What have I done to you?"
Curtis thinks he's been an embarrassment to his father. He verbally 
lashes out at Clay again.

Jocelyn signs the release papers. Danny asks if she gave the message to 
Ally. 
Jocelyn: "What do I look like, your messenger boy?"
She tells him to stay away from Ally. He just wants her to know how sorry 
he is. Danny thinks maybe he should get another lawyer. Brown says she's 
the only thing standing between him and twenty years. As she leaves, he 
pulls off the hospital bracelet and whispers, "Excuse Me."

Angie's still holding Jacobs hand. (Flashback to Jessie dying) Angie 
cries, "Please, Please."
 
Clay turns away. Curtis apologizes and they hug. He thanks them for 
coming to see him and leaves.
Clay: "You still think he's ready to come home?"
Gwen tells Claytonhe of all people should know what a father's love and 
trust means to a son. They argue more about Curtis' release, Clay will 
fight Gwen on the consent.

Alex has talked to the DA and confirmed Danny's release. He tells Charles 
that they're ready to deal with Danny if he turns over on Graham. 
Charles: "Casey's six feet under and they're kissing HIS butt, man?"
Alex: "Isn't this a wonderful life?"
He tells Charles to check on Angie. Alex says Angie loves Charles and 
besides Jacob Johnson isn't her type! 
Alex runs into Danny in the hall, doing wheelies in his chair.
Danny: "Hello, Detective Masters, still friends?" (He's holding out his 
hand for Alex to shake it.)
Alex: " Yeah, in the coming weeks, people are going to think you and I 
are Siamese!"

Jocelyn is on the phone calming her mother down. She says he's not 
innocent, he's guilty as hell. (Alex has come up behind her)
Jocelyn: "Mother, don't give me that brother junk, as far as I'm 
concerned he is not my brother. Listen to me, Mother, if he ever gets 
into trouble like this again, ever, I swear to God, I will let him rot in 
jail for the rest of his miserable, stinkin' life. I will not lift a 
finger to help him,"she slams the phone down as Alex retreats behind the 
doorjam.

Angie has been with Jacob all night. She starts nodding off and lays her 
head on Jacob's chest. Another flashback, she turns Jessie's monitor off.
She awakes.
Angie: "You're alive, still alive!" (smiling) Jacob stirs.
Jacob: "My God, I thought you were an angel!" (They're holding hands again.)
Angie: "Oh thank God. Oh thank you, God."
Charles is watching it all from outside the room.........
