Kathryn helps Regina pray.

Bay gives a directed blood donation to Angelo and starts to hallucinate having her own child, twins, with only Angelo at her side. He recalls the day she was born. He had never done anything more important. As the "proud papa" enters her dream, she wakes to see Emmett.

Daphne comes back to the hospital in time to read the doctor's lips as he pronounces Angelo brain dead. The doctor later confirms, Angelo no longer has a recoverable injury.
