Nate says her condition isn’t improving; and her injuries are different than Victor’s (Eric Braeden) when he was in his coma, although her MS isn’t a factor he wants to do more testing. Nick is confident she is tough enough to get through this, but Nate says the longer she remains unconscious, the worse the prognosis.

Victoria (Amelia Heinle) drinks her tea as Billy (Jason Thompson) prepares the kids for their pageant; Reed (Tristan Lake Leabu) watches in silence. Victoria feels she should be at the hospital, but Billy says she needs to be at Johnny’s pageant first.
