Clay Jensen: Probably the person fucking with all of us.

Justin Foley: Bryce.

Clay Jensen: It wasn't his car.

Justin Foley: Well, one of his boys.

Clay Jensen: Because you're testifying. Tomorrow. You... You're really gonna do it, right?

Justin Foley: Yeah.

Olivia Baker's phone rings as it wakes her up. She answers the phone...

Olivia Baker: Hello?

Nurse: Hello, is this the parent of Hannah Baker?

Olivia Baker: Yes, I'm her mother.

Nurse: Mrs. Baker, your daughter has woken up from her coma.

Olivia sits up with her eyes widen.

Olivia Baker: What?

Nurse: Your daughter is awake. The doctor is attending to her right now.

Olivia hangs up and immediately puts her shoes own and puts on a coat. She calls Andy as he answers the call.

Andy Baker: Liv, what's...

Olivia Baker: She's awake. Hannah woke up. The hospital called. Our daughter is awake.

Andy hangs up as he prepares to depart to the hospital. She grabs her car keys and immediately makes her way to the hospital. She arrives to the hospital as she makes her way up to the floor where Hannah is. Olivia exit the elevator as she is greeted by Hannah's doctor.

Doctor: Mrs. Baker...

Olivia Baker: How is she? Can I see her?

Doctor: She's doing fine. Confused at first, but fine.

Olivia begins to tear down. The elevator doors opens as Andy emerges out of there.

Andy Baker: Where is she?

Doctor: She's in her room. The nurse is doing some routines for comatose patients.

Andy Baker: But she's alright?

Doctor: She's fine.

Andy & Olivia are relieved that Hannah is alright.

Doctor: She only knows that she was in a coma for 5 months. She does not know about the trial and everything that's been happening. She doesn't know that you 2 are separated. I figured that you'll be the ones to tell her everything.

Olivia Baker: Thank you, doctor.

The nurse makes her way out.

Nurse: Doctor, she's ready.

Doctor: Are you ready to see your daughter?

Andy & Olivia nod at the doctor. The doctor leads them to her room.

I see my doctor entering my room.

Doctor: Hannah, there are some people who love to see you.

The doctor moves out of the way... Oh, my god!

Hannah Baker: Mom! Dad! I'm so sorry.

Andy & Olivia run to Hannah as they hug her. All 3 of them in tears.

I thought I was never going to see them again. They pull me in for a hug. Have to admit, I'm glad to see them.

Hannah Baker: (Crying) I'm so sorry.
