(I feel drained!)... anyway, no dream tag team today.. just little ole me all on my own... fill in anything I missed guys... I was trying to get everything in and I'm afraid I might have missed a good line or two |-)... (Harry had a couple really good ones today |-)) anyway, on with the show! At the hospital, Harry takes Ava's hand. Dinah Lee arrives at the hospital and comments to Angie about how tired she looks. Angie says she's been working double shifts. Angie asks how is Curtis. Dinah Lee says the nightmares have stopped and he's sleeping more. Angie encourages therapy for Curtis. Angie says she will try to talk him into it. She says that stress is the last thing Curtis should be exposed to right not. You don't know what will set him off. Curtis arrives at the cabin and remembers hearing Dinah Lee's voice saying that I love you very much. Curtis enters the cabin abruptly and sees himself and Betty on the floor making out. He remembers the first time she told him her name. They kiss... he looks on happily... then "Curtis" turns into Trucker and Curtis runs out of the cabin yelling for Trucker. He wants Trucker to come out and face him, Curtis the one whose wife you stole. Meanwhile, Trucker lays on the ground still trapped in the trap. He is shivering and shaking and is unconscious. Dinah Lee tells Angie that she left Curtis. Angie is sorry.Dinah Lee says I really tried and I'm not happy... Angie comforts her. Angie says that Dinah Lee is a classic Helper. Angie says helping is one thing, taking total responsibility for someone else's life is another. Angie says it looks like Dinah Lee needs taking care of now. Dinah Lee asks who takes care of the doctor. Angie tells Dinah Lee she can go see Ava now. Dinah Lee is perplexed. Harry is looking down on Ava. We see her form rise from the bed. She's sitting up with her hair very pretty. Harry says Hi Ava its Uncle Harry. Uncle Harry, is it really you? What's left of me he laughs. She sees Alex and tries to call for him but he can't hear her. She is a bit upset. She asks Harry where they are going. Harry asks if she remembers the pain. She remembers she was calling Sandy...is he alright? I remember I was talking to him and then I felt this sorta crack. Harry explains she was shot. Ava says I didn't feel anything, I don't feel anything at all! I feel like I'm floating! Harry says she'll get used to it. She takes his hand and walks with him. She looks back at her form attached to the machines and doesn't seem to recognize it... she leaves the room with Harry. Harry and Ava are in the hallway. Ava sees Ally but Ally can't see or hear her. Ava keeps calling. Ava wants to stay there for a few more minutes and look at her. Ally is on the phone with Sheri. She listens to Ally talk to Casey about Ava. Ally just wishes she could talk to Ava. Casey says what would she say? She would apologize for borrowing her clothes, for not taking her advice... I never told her how much I loved her... Ava tries to hug her but Harry pulls her away. Kate and Alex enter. Kate is telling Alex that the doctor is trying to save Ava from pain and suffering. Kate says Alex showed her the will, it's what she wanted. Alex says he can't accept it. Kate says neither can I... the doctors don't know...she could have seizure after seizure...you can't tell me she wasn't in pain! Ava says MAMA, I'm not in pain! Kate doesn't know if she can do this but its what Ava wants. Alex has to consider this. Alex says she's putting an awful lot on his shoulders. Kate says if it comes down to it, it has to be Alex's decision. Harry tries to hurry Ava along but Ava begs to let there be a way to tell mama she isn't suffering... Harry says there isn't and he pulls her away. They go to the elevators. Ava starts asking where they are going. He starts to push the down button... Ava is shocked! Harry laughs and pushes the up button... they enter the elevator .. Harry says when you travel with Harry you travel first class... the doors close... Casey and Ally are in the chapel... they have a lot of candles lit. Ally asks if he believes in heaven. Casey says sometimes I feel my dad somewhere close to me... it's hard to believe he's not around somewhere where he's at peace. I hope so anyway. Ally thanks him. For what? For being here for me. Casey says get used to it, I'm not going anywhere. Casey reaches in his pocket and pulls out snow from the photo shoot. Snow keeps bringing us together she says. That would be great if we could use it to make Ava know how much we love her, says Casey... make her come back to us...he tosses the snow in the air.... Ava and Harry enter "heaven"... there are fountains and lots of clouds. Ava says Look! It's snow! It starts snowing and Ava dances around and Harry looks surprised. Curtis is screaming for Trucker. Trucker weakly calls out help me... Curtis hears him but stands still, not moving... Ava is dancing in the snow. Harry says this is a first! I've never seen snow before here! Harry says hey this isn't snow! This is plastic! Is this some kind of joke? Kind of a sick joke to play on someone who was killed in an avalanche! says Harry ( |-) ) Harry tells Ava to just float... Ava remembers things but faces are getting blurry... Harry says they are getting farther away... The pain gets a little less the farther they get away. Ava wants to know why they sent Harry? Harry says, soooo, you wanted Louie? They figured you'd need a little convincing. Convincing! Are you trying to tell me that I'm not really gone yet? asks Ava. Well, you do have a little say so, but would you really want to give up this feeling of freedom and beauty? Ava says she's so confused... Harry says well she won't be... there's someone he wants her to meet. Alex talks to Ava... he tells her how he and Sandy are praying together every night.. Sandy needs his mommy. Alex says we're not praying loud enough... Ava c'mon, don't go away, come back to us, PLEASE! I love you, I miss you, I need you... PLEASE Ava come back to us PLEASE... (we see a shot of Ava superimposed over Alex. She is stopping and turning around. Curtis finds Trucker. Trucker asks for help. Curtis says where is she? He holds a big stick and slaps his open palm menacingly... atleast-it-was-an-elevator-and-not-a-space-ship-hanger!
