Commander Holleran was able to get Troy's team and Rollie's team to meet Donna for support. The teams missed her and wanted her back soon.

On Saturday, at the appointed time, Donna and Hank made it to the graves. Donna was shocked to see twenty-nine of her teammates there to support her, but she was grateful. Ed walked over to hug her.

Donna quietly asked, "Why are they here?"

"They are here to support you, and it was the commander's idea, with Sam's help," Ed responded. "They just want to help."

With tears in her eyes, Donna nodded. "Okay."

She slowly made it to Tony's graves and quietly talked to him, saying she was sorry, then moved on to their second fallen teammate, Marcus. When she got to Jimmy's burial plot, her knees just buckled and she started to sob. Hank went to his own knees to hold her, but she pulled away. In grief, she started to beg Jimmy to forgive her. Her sobbing was so hard she wasn't breathing right.

Sergeant Parker knelt down next to her to calm her and comfort her, but Donna was getting more upset. She started to rock herself back and forth to try to calm herself.

"It's okay," Greg kept repeating. "Just let it out." He knew why she was taking Jimmy's death harder than Tony and Marcus'. He knew it was because she was with Jimmy when he died and had held his hand. Team Three knew, as did Ed and Wordy, along with Hank, but nobody else present was aware of the full story.

The teams all wanted to help her; they all had tears in their eyes or were openly crying. But they realized Hank and the Boss needed to take care of her.

Parker couldn't calm her down, so Wordy quietly touched his shoulder, indicating he'd like to try. Greg moved over to let him. Wordy was teary-eyed when he said gently, "Jimmy forgives you, and you need to forgive yourself. You tried your hardest, but there was nothing anyone could do."

Donna wanted to believe him, but had her doubts and knew she needed to forgive herself. She finally managed to get back up on her feet. She remained there, still crying. "I will be back to see you," she told Jimmy. "I miss you so much."

After delivering those words, she turned to her assembled friends and colleagues from the SRU. "Thank you for coming and supporting me," she said, and every teammate came up to hug her or squeeze her shoulder. For the first time in a long time, Donna felt hope and that she had some closure.

The time had come to leave. Donna and Hank slowly made it to their car to go home. Exhaustion came over Donna and she fell asleep during the drive back. When they got to the apartment, Hank gently woke Donna up to get her inside and to bed.

Once in the bedroom, Hank decided to lay down with his wife. As soon as she felt him come to bed, she snuggled up to him. After several hours they woke, and Donna realized she was starving. She decided she wanted pizza and voiced this desire to Hank. Clearly, she was slowly getting her appetite back.

Hank asked, "What do you want on the pizza?"

After some thought, she replied: "Pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, extra sauce, extra cheese, and a side of chicken wings."

"You got it," Hank said, and called their favorite pizza place to request the pizza and chicken wings.

When the order was delivered, the couple sat on the couch together to eat. Hank was pleased to see that Donna ate three slices of pizza and a couple of chicken wings.

Shortly after they'd finished, the phone rang. Donna recognized the familiar number. "Hi, Sam," she answered when she picked up.

"Hi, Donna," Sam said. "How are you?"

"I'm okay, thanks for your help," she answered. "I feel like I have hope now, and some closure."

"That is great," Sam said. "And you're welcome. If you need anything, call me."

"I will," Donna said. "Thanks."

Satisfied that Donna was in a good place, Sam said goodbye to her and they ended the call.
