In bed, Helen was having another nightmare. She was walking through a mysterious part of town she couldn't remember seeing before. She entered an alleyway where she saw what she had long since come to fear: the two clowns. She heard someone moving behind her, and turned around to find Will. She screamed out a warning, but before Will could get away the clowns pulled out oversized guns and fired at them.

She woke up to the phone ringing. Helen hesitated to answer, since if the catechism thing was real it was probably bad news. However, she quickly reasoned that not knowing the news wouldn't make it go away, and picked up. "Helen, it's Chief Roebuck," the voice on the other end said. "It's about Will." On the verge of tears, Helen asked, "Is he all right?" It seemed like an eternity before Roebuck answered, "No."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Girardi family waited anxiously in the hospital for any word of Will's condition. Luke wondered out loud, "Just how much time are we going to spend in this place?" Detective Carlisle was also there, and had explained what happened. The crook who pulled the gun had been killed and the other one was arrested, but Will had been hit before it happened.

A doctor came into the room. Joan looked up expectantly, but it was not the doctor avatar that God had used before. He told them, "Will's condition is stable, but he's in a coma. It's difficult to tell how long these things will last." Helen visibly crumpled, as did Joan and Luke. Kevin stayed the way he was, but only because the event was too big to take in at the moment.

Just then Lily rushed into the room and ran straight to Kevin. "I just heard. What's going on?" After Kevin told her, Helen approached and said, "Lily, can I talk to you alone?" Kevin interjected, "Mom, please, no more about me and her right now, okay?" "KEVIN, NOT NOW!" Helen shouted. She looked around to see everyone startled by the outburst. "All right, let's talk," Lilly said.

They went down the hallway, and Helen quietly said, "It happened again. I dreamed this. When the detective out there was looking over the crime scene photos I snuck a peek and it's just like in the dream, but I've never been there." Lilly was clearly taken aback. "So, I guess your catechism is real. Now I'm pissed off." "What am I supposed to do with this, Lilly? It happened too late to do anything about what happened to Will, and I couldn't stop the church attack either." Lilly pondered that, then replied, "Maybe God is just making sure you know you have it first. When the time comes, you will be able to help."

Back in the waiting room, Joan asked to no one in particular, "Where's Adam? This is the second time he hasn't been here for me in this hospital." Luke said, "You did mess things up for him pretty bad with us today. I don't think it would be too comfortable if he did come." Joan responded, "Well, he still should have."

She wandered into the girl's bathroom, where someone else was washing her face. The girl said, "Good move, Joan, telling the priest." Joan looked the avatar square in the eye. "Why is this happening? Just when I get my biggest assignment I have to deal with this too? You know, mom told us that she did tell dad about what I said before he went out there. Maybe if he wasn't preoccupied with it, this wouldn't have happened, so I guess it's my fault, huh?" The girl said, "There can be a lot of things that can be considered your fault, just as many as you can be credited for. It's all part of the ripples, remember?"

"I'm losing Adam," Joan said. "He's totally on Ryan's side now. How am I supposed to fix that?" "You still have allies. People will help you. You've already shown that you can succeed, trust me on that." The girl walked out of the room, waving over her shoulder.
