Shane led Jacqueline away. Natalie watched as they got into the car before leading the children indoors.

Shane did not return that night. Natalie called and was informed that Jacqueline was about to have surgery for her cornea replacement and that he was going to keep her company.

Though Natalie was not happy about it at all, she agreed for him to remain in the hospital.
