Moments after the accident, Rick arrives at the site where Cal's car careened over an embankment. Ben and Betsy confront a distressed Meg, who tells them about the quarrel she had with Cal. Meg phones Bruce to see if Cal went to tell Van about the fight, and Bruce says they're worried because Cal never arrived. Rick makes his way down the cliff to Cal's car. A delirious Cal re-lives the car crash and screams for Rick to stay with her. David admits to Arlene his fears that she might be afraid of him, but she reassures him that he doesn't scare her; rather, she feels protective toward him. Ben goads Meg into confessing her culpability in getting David released early from the mental hospital, though she defends her actions. Eddie arrives at Meg's and demands she tell him what she did to upset Cal. Rick is unable to extract Cal from the wrecked car, and fearing severe injuries, leaves her to go for help.
