Tori: This is definitely Kate's floor.
Jade: I hate much white.
Tori: Well I suppose you would make a black hospital if you were a doctor. I'm so glad I get to see Kate again. I hope it's not too weird for her.
Jade: No, she'll be stoked to see you. Who wouldn't be?
Tori and Jade reach the door to Kate's hospital room.
Tori: This be it. I'm a little nervous...
Jade: I'm sorry.I was a total dick for blowing a fuse when you answered Kate's call the other day. Good thing you ignored me. I had no idea what shit she was going through. And you saved her... like me. Just go in there and be her friend. I'll wait out here so you can chill by yourselves.
Tori: Thanks, Jade, but don't be sorry. We're all on the same team.
Jade: Let Kate know we're gonna string Ryder up by his balls then.
Tori: Oh, yes. I'm on it.
Tori enters the room. Kate is sitting on a chair, drawing. She sees Tori and the two smile at each other. Kate jumps up and gives Tori a hug.
Kate: Tori!
Tori: Oh, Kate!
Kate: I thought I'd never see you again. I feel so ridiculous... I'm so sorry.
Tori: Kate, listen to me... you have nothing to be sorry about. Other people do. You do not know how happy I am to see you. You look awesome. Is it a stupid question if I ask how you're doing?
Kate: Now that you're here, I'm doing even better. I'm so grateful to you for coming up to the roof to talk me down... Tori, I felt so lost and alone... but when I saw how much you cared, how hard you were trying... you made me realize I wasn't alone. Thank you.
Tori: Kate, there are so many people who love you and want to help you.
Kate: I know, you should see all the letters and postcards. I gave most of the flowers to other patients here because they need them more than me. I'm keeping the balloons, though. One of the nurses gave me some pen and paper so I could do some drawings.
Kate sits down again and resumes drawing.
Tori: I love your illustrations.
Kate: They got kind of dark there for a while, but I have an idea for a new children's book about bullying... I was thinking about having some photographs in there too.
Tori: I hope that's a subtle hint that you'll let me take the photographs for the book...
Kate: Was that subtle? You better take the pictures, Tori. I'm going to be here for another day until my family comes out to visit.
Tori: How are they treating you?
Kate: Like they need to protect me forever. They're so upset and I know they feel guilty, even though they didn't do anything. I was surprised how many students from Blackwell wrote me. Daniel, Mr. Jefferson... Even Victoria wrote me a very sweet note... and I believe she was being real.
Tori: Me too. I'm glad you believe again, Kate.
Kate: I'm working on it, Tori. I just pray I can get this drawing right...
Tori: I always want to talk to you...
Kate: We missed our tea session this week...
Tori: That was so not cool. We need to plan, like, a tea shop tour of Portland.
Kate: Oh yes! And you could bring Warren along too...
Tori: No boys allowed.
Kate: You are funny, Tori. And right
Tori: I want you to know I'm this close to getting all the info I need about Ryder...
Kate: Ryder Daniels has to pay for what he did. And we have to stop him from hurting anybody else.
Tori: Well, I did get his ass suspended, so that might be a start...
Kate: You did? Oh, right on, Tori! I love how fearless you are. So what is going on with him now?
Tori: I assume he'll show up at the Vortex Club party tonight like nothing happened.
Kate: And nobody can do anything to him after what he did.
Tori: We're going to stop him. I just have to find Ryder's room number, get inside and get the clues I need.
Kate: Tori, please let me help! I can get the number and I'll text it to you, okay?
Tori: Of course, Kate! I can't do this without you!
Kate: Now it's time for Ryder to watch out for us...
Tori leaves Kate's hospital room.
Jade: Well, how is she?
Tori: She's still Kate Marsh. Thank God.
Jade: I'm glad we came to see her.
Tori: Thanks for coming with me.
Jade: Now let's go pay a visit to Ryder Daniels. That little prick is not gonna be glad when he sees us...
Tori and Jade leave the hospital.
