in this part of the hospital.

If you wanna come back

during visiting hours...

Clay?

She's awake.

It's that Tweety Bird sound.

She makes that for him.

Come on over here for a minute,

will you?

Come on, it's okay.

I want you to help me out

with something.

Guys, bring her over to the edge

of the pool, will you?

That's more than she's moved all day.

Go ahead and put your hand on her.

It's okay.

Dad, come here.

She really likes him.

Is it okay if he comes back?

I don't know.

Come on, son.

Get dressed, you're gonna be late.

Hey, Mom. I thought I'd go early today,

get a jump on my studies.

Early bird gets the worm.

Have a nice day.

Hazel?

Dr. Clay?

Hazel?

Hazel?

What's wrong?

It's okay.

Her tail was too infected.

My dad said it had to come off.

But that's how they swim.

How is she gonna live if she can't swim?

I don't know.

I didn't have a choice, guys.

Least now she has a chance.

Want a lemonade icicle

before you go home?

Make them myself.

No, thanks. Probably should get going.

I don't know.

Nothing goes down with crappy news...

...like one of my granddaughter's

lemonade icicles.

Come on.

I'm buying.

Have you guys always lived

near the water?

My grandpa says we have saltwater

in our veins.

Which I actually believed

till I was like 6.

That's his boat over there.

When my dad was a boy,

they sailed all over the world in that.

What does your dad do?

I don't know.

He left like five years ago.

We don't know where he is.

He never calls, never writes.

Oh.

So, what does your mom do?

She died when I was 7.

Never calls, never writes.

Come on.

I spend whole days up here.

Doing schoolwork, whatever.

I'm homeschooled.

That's why I'm such a chatterbox.

Do you like school?

Well, I fail almost everything.

You probably just haven't found a subject

that interests you yet.

Is Winter gonna die?

I hope not.

- Hey, Virginia.

- Morning, Sawyer.

There he is.

Morning.

- Hi, Hazel.

- Hey.

- How is she?

- We're trying to get her to eat.

Pedialyte. Baby formula.

She doesn't want it.

Let's give it a rest.

Can you swim?

Me?

Phoebe's been up all night with her.

She needs some sleep.

Can you swim?

Come on in.

It's okay.

Come on. I got you.

There you go.

All right, just come over here by Phoebe.

See how she's holding her?

Okay, put your right hand under there.

Great.

She's kind of heavy now, so...

- Like this?

- Okay, yeah.

Okay, just keep her blowhole above water.

Watch her eye.

- You got her?

- Yeah.

Just walk her around.

- I'll see you guys in a little while, okay?

- Where you going?

I got a board meeting.

Should I just shoot you now?

Just keep an eye on the kids, will you?
