Jesse walks out, leaving Michelle to cry to Danny about what she has done and what kind of future she now faces. Jesse goes back to Drew's and drinks his sorrows away.

Rick tells a distraught Cassie that Hart has managed to pull through the operation to stop his bleeding but he has sustained serious internal injuries as the bullet still remains lodged perilously close to his heart. Cassie insists on seeing Hart even though he is still unconscious. During an extremely long, tearful beside monologue, Hart shakily regains consciousness, seemingly moved by Cassie's professions of undying love.

While waiting at the hospital with Cassie and Reva, Harley gets a frantic call from Susan who is worried about what to wear to her Valentine's Day dance.

Harley decides that Susan will meet her extended birth family on her next visit. Discovering barred windows, locked doors and no access to telephone or T.V., Holly comes to the abrupt realization that her stay at the clinic is quite restrictive.
