The doctors then come out and tell the awaiting group, "Joey has fractured her ribcage and has lung deficiency. She also is in a coma like state because of the trauma of the situation. But is just now waking, so if you would like to see her one at a time."

Pacey is sent in first, he sees Joey lying in the bed with tubes in her arms and oxygen to help her breathe. When he enters her eyes are closed, so he gently closes the door and sits on the edge of her bed and holds her hand. Joey then opens her eyes and smiles her one of a kind smile. She proceeds to thank him for what he did. And starts to cry as she thanks him again and reaches for a hug, as they embrace each other, they both pause and stop. Their faces close together, Joey's tears trickling down her face onto Pacey's. Pacey holds Joey's hand up and gently kisses it saying, "Joe- when ever you need me, you know that I will always be there. Even though we don't always get along, and we often squabble like little kids, you should know that I always care for you." Joey looks down, and again looks into Pacey's face and embraces him again; she then gently kisses his cheek and whispers, "thank you," into his ear.

It is then that Dawson knocks on the door, and Pacey hugs Joey one more time and then pats Dawson on the shoulder and walks out back to the lobby and closes the door behind him. Dawson's eyes are filled with tears and he looks solemnly down at Joey as he makes his way to sit on the edge of the bed. Joey the reaches and hold him tight, as Dawson begins to cry and Joey tells him, "every thing will be alright, don't worry.shhh.everything will be fine." It is then that Dawson sits up and looks at Joey and says, "Joey I am so sorry, I should have been there and I wasn't. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if Pacey hadn't gotten there. I don't know what I would do if I lost you." Joey and Dawson then share a moment. The moment when the both look into each other's eyes and know that they care so much for each other.
