Jack tells Jill now that she's awake, he and Ashley are going to go stretch their legs. Outside they see the doctor and ask about Billy's progress and although no one has asked, will there be any chance of brain damage? The doctor states that because Billy received CPR before he came to the hospital, it is unlikely that he will have brain damage. However, there is a chance that he could never recover. Jill walks out and overhears this statement.
