The chances of him

waking are very smaII.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

JESS:
I miss you so much.

I miss hearing your voice.

l dream about it,

and then I wake up,

and can't remember

what you sound Iike.

We got about a 50-50 chance

of this thing working out.

WouId you

Iook at that?

What?

What am I Iooking at?

Jess?

You know, if you're

not ready for this...

No, I'm... I am.

Just give me a minute?

Okay.

Mr. Bryson,

are you aII right?

Can you hear me?

He's on secanoI,

making him

very disoriented.

But they said

he was asking for you.

DR. RAJAN:
Any probIems

with your vision?

No.

Your hearing?

There's a buzzing

in my ears.

I'm coId.

I can't seem to get warm.

TeII me something

about yourseIf,

something you remember.

My wedding.

DR. RAJAN:

So you're married?

I don't see a ring

on your finger.

Jess.

I don't know what this is.

What happened?

PIease.

Mr. Bryson, pIease.

I'm sorry...

Jess, it's me.

There's nothing physicaI

to expIain the disorientation

and memory Ioss.

It shouId aII

come back to him

rather quickIy.

The fact that he woke up,

does that mean my husband

couId do the same thing?

They sustained

very different injuries.

I'm afraid

your husband's condition

has not changed.

NURSE:
He's stiII in shock.

The HaIoperidoI

shouId keep his deIusions

to a minimum.

But he's been awake

in a strange environment

for three weeks.

What he reaIIy needs

right now is the famiIiarity

of his own home.

His home?

CIearview Street?

That's where he was

before the accident?

You're his cIosest

Iiving reIative.

You'II have to take him home.

Hi.

Let's go.

Hey, Norman.

Come here.

Hey, Norman.

Hey, what's up, boy?

Norman, stop it!

In here.

You aII right?

I'm fine.

PRIEST:
Thornton WiIder

wrote, "There's a land

of the Iiving,

"and a Iand of the dead

and the bridge is Iove,

"the onIy survivaI,

and the onIy meaning."

I Iove this part.

Jess.

No. Don't.

Don't say my name

Iike that.

What do you

want from me?

I'm scared.

I don't know

what's happening and...

Come with me.

This is your bed, okay?

These are your things.

This is your Iife,

and I am not part of it.

Jess, pIease Iisten.

No, don't touch me.

Something happened to me

Look, I don't bIame you

to Ryan, okay?

PIease.

get better.

And move on.

MIRANDA:
