Ward D

Amy returns to the nurse’s station where Cameron is writing a detailed note on his interview with Spider-Dan. She pulls Dr. Beck aside and tells him about the noise in Seclusion One, expressing concern that Damon Sawyer escaped his restraints. Dr. Beck says it’s not possible, and that they’ll check on him in the morning. He turns his attention to Cameron, asking him to describe Spider-Dan’s symptoms, which he does quickly. Dr. Beck suggests Amy visit Spider-Dan too, but when she says she already spoke to Will, Dr. Beck explains Spider-Dan displays a classic case of schizophrenia, while Will’s is atypical because his symptoms appeared later in life.

Amy has 11 hours left of her shift. She and Cameron go to the patient lounge to speak to Spider-Dan together. As Amy waits for Cameron to get Spider-Dan, another patient she dubs “Clint Eastwood” complains someone gave him crackers, but he’s diabetic and can’t eat them. She calms him by sending him to his room with the promise that someone will get rid of the crackers. Cameron and Spider-Dan arrive, and they talk about Spider-Dan’s webs. Spider-Dan claims they don’t work properly, and Cameron says sometimes it’s necessary to make webs, and suggests Spider-Dan use dental floss to make a web. Spider-Dan says Damon Sawyer is going to kill everyone tonight.

Cameron reassures Amy that nothing will happen to her. He takes a package of Ring Dings out of his pocket, telling her that he brought them because he knows she likes them. Amy refuses them. She thinks back on the party where she met Cameron, and they bonded over their mutual frustration with their pathology professor. But now, she balks when he suggests wanting to reconcile. Amy refuses to eat dinner with Cameron, sending him away. Will enters the patient lounge and plays the piano. Amy asks him about Damon Sawyer, and Will admits he screamed when they put him in Seclusion One, but doesn’t think there’s anything to be afraid of since he’s locked up and will be moved in the morning.

Amy has 10 hours left of her shift. She goes to the staff lounge to eat her cheese sandwich. She tries to get service on her phone but can’t. Amy hears a noise outside and finds patient Miguel in the hallway, again anxious to leave. He begins inputting numbers into the keypad on the main door. Amy goes to Dr. Beck’s office, letting him know what Miguel is doing. Dr. Beck tells her not to worry and suggests she do some reading or get some sleep.

The narrative flashes back to eight years ago. Amy is in the library, waiting to study for the trigonometry test with Jade. Jade shows up late, but promises to study hard. However, she takes them to the fourth floor where she convinces a janitor to open their teacher’s classroom. She takes a copy of the test from the teacher’s desk. Amy realizes what Jade is up to and refuses to participate.

Amy has 9 hours left of her shift. Jade takes her to her room and apologizes for being rude. She confesses to being jealous of Amy because she has her life together, and is currently struggling with her medication. They talk about Cameron and how he broke up with Amy, and Jade again suggests Amy become involved with Will. She asks Amy if she still sees things, and suggests Amy might belong in Ward D, too. The nurse Ramona asks what Amy is doing, and she says she decided to follow more than one patient.

Amy returns to her dinner but ultimately throws it out. She tries to get service on her phone but can’t. She goes to the nurse’s desk and takes Mary’s chart, deciding to speak to her. As Amy passes Seclusion One, she thinks she hears someone asking to be let out. When she enters Mary’s room, the elderly woman mistakenly calls her Nicole. Mary says she might die soon, but is content to do so, as she lost her husband 10 years ago. When Amy asks about her knitting, Mary says she only does it so she can have needles as a weapon. She gives Amy one of her needles, and Amy realizes they are not child-safe, but steel. She puts it in her pocket.

As Amy finishes up with Mary, Clint Eastwood enters Mary’s room and gives her a package of crackers. Amy returns to the nurse’s desk to write a note on Mary. Ramona hands her Jade’s chart and Amy begins to read it, but then the power goes out. When the power comes back on, Miguel is standing in front of the nurse’s desk, seemingly covered in blood.

The narrative flashes back to eight years ago. Amy has dinner with her family, worried about her trigonometry test and wondering if seeing the young girl is something she should be concerned about. She’s not eating, and her mother calls her out on it. When Amy asks if seeing things is a concern, her mother assumes she’s talking about Jade and assures her that they can get her help. Amy excuses herself to study.

The blood on Miguel turns out to be strawberry jelly. He urinated on a light switch, causing the power outage. Dr. Beck speaks to Miguel and decides to put him in Seclusion Two because he isn’t cooperating. He asks for Cameron’s help, but no one knows where he is. Dr. Beck again tells Amy to sleep.

Amy has 7 hours left of her shift. She searches for Cameron, but can’t find him. She considers informing Dr. Beck, but remembers Cameron has a temper. She remembers him punching through a wall when he learned he didn’t get a research fellowship he applied for. Amy runs into Jade, who tells her that Cameron likely stepped out to get fresh air. She notes Seclusion One is silent.
