Sophie Bowman is dragged into a hospital and shoved toward surgery while she screams that she can't be operated on because she's pregnant. Staff and relatives accuse her of abandoning her sick brother, Harley, and of squandering Mr. Watts's payment; they insist the operation is necessary and start anesthesia. Sophie insists she has been helping—donating blood and bone marrow—and angrily declares the children's father is Reid Graham, a claim met with disbelief. As anesthesia begins and she shouts to stop, staff learn Sophie is pregnant with triplets, leaving the decision to operate unresolved.
