They are happy to see each other. Tyus ask why Ben is in the hospital
and Ben explains about flying to San Francisco to get a special machine
for Meg's father. Tyus told Ben that Meg and Joan are probably in
intensive care waiting for word on Hank's condition. They enter the
elevator to go upstairs.
Meg, Joan, Tim and Dana are anxiously waiting news of Ben's return. If he doesn't return soon Hank will have to undergo a very dangerous operation that might not be needed. The machine would determine the extent of Hank's injuries.
Tim and Dana decide to go get coffee. Ben and Tyus are on the elevator which is moving extremely slow. Tim and Dana are waiting for the elevator when Tim remembers seeing a coffee machine somewhere else on that floor. They leave to get the coffee. The elevator doors open just as they leave, Ben misses seeing Dana.
Meg and Joan are elated to see Ben. Joan and Tyus leave to check on Hank. Meg told Ben how worried she was about him. Ben explains that the helicopter had problems, his cell phone didn't work, so there wasn't a way for him to contact her. Meg returns Ben's keys and gives him an update on the Cummings house. Joan returns and told Meg and Ben they can see Hank if they want to. The operation isn't needed. In his haste to go with Meg, Ben leaves his keys on the counter.

Ben leaves to sign some paperwork dealing with the delivery of the equipment. Meg leaves her parents alone. Meg rejoins Tim and Dana. Mr. Fobisch from Cedar Oaks arrives and told Dana she can move back to the new wing of the hospital. Tim leaves to drive Dana over. Just as they enter the elevator Ben arrives.

safe. Caitlin keeps telling her to leave because she can't help Cole.

At South Bay, Annie told a distraught Meg about the probable fate of the passengers aboard the doomed Neptune. Keeping a wary eye out for sharks, Casey and Sara begin paddling towards shore on their makeshift raft. Ben tries to console a weeping Olivia as she fears that all of her children may have perished in the earthquake and subsequent tidal wave.

After Ricardo manages to cut through the hull, the rescue workers begin lifting survivors into the helicopter. Olivia learns that Trey needs blood from his mother in order to live.
Aboard the rescue chopper, a sobbing Caitlin told A.J. his son is dead. Meanwhile, Ricardo and Antonio leap for the last safety harness just as a huge explosion shatters the hull and sends the Torres brother hurtling into the sea. At South Bay, Annie fears her secret is about to be exposed when Olivia readily agrees to donate blood plasma for Trey. With a shark fast approaching, Ricardo forces a protesting Antonio to climb into the chopper first. Bette encourages a grieving Caitlin to stay strong for her infant son. Though Annie warns of the dire consequences which will ensue, Olivia remains determined to save Trey's life even if the truth comes out. As Gabi gratefully clings to Ricardo, A.J. leaps into the ocean to retrieve Cole's body. Later, Caitlin weeps tears of joy when her husband is miraculously revived by CPR.
