A NURSE walks into a doctor's office unannounced.

"Maya! This is a private meeting." exclaims DR. LAMB, chief resident doctor at Starling General Hospital.

"I'm sorry sir but he's regained consciousness" replied Maya.

"You'll have to excuse me" Dr. Lamb says regrettably to his guest. "Not a problem. Duty calls. I catch you later. Call me to reschedule." he responds

"Of course I - Moira" Dr. Lamb blurts out noticing the Queen matriarch at his door.

"You're here" he utters.

"I never left, I came as soon as the nurse called" she states tiredly

As enter Oliver's hospital room they hear whimpering - the kind associated with one having a nightmare and trying best not to scream.

"Oliver...Oliver can you hear me?" asks . He shines a light in his eye, which Oliver promptly tries to block it but cannot because he is restrained somehow.

"Can he hear us?" inquires Moira from the door

"Possibly. He is conscious but still incoherent at this point" states Dr. Lamb as he puts away his penlight. "We'll have to wait till he wakes to make a full assessment; but all things considered, he is a very lucky man".

"On the contrary, I'm one who is lucky and thankful and grateful" she asserts

"Indeed. Let me know if you need anything." He returns

"Neil..." she starts

"Yes?" he answers

"Thank you" she echoes

"You're welcome"
