Izzy pushes Bex out of the Center in a wheelchair. The hostage negotiator beckons her toward him, and she knows that she could escape now if she wanted to. She feels suspended between two worlds and thinks about her impoverished upbringing, where she never felt like she belonged. Though Parker loves her, she is still afraid to tell him about the pregnancy and worries that he will tire of her. She also remembers her mother admonishing her brothers as they fought over who had the most food, telling them not to see who had more but to see if someone else had enough. This compels her to return to the Center and to the wounded Louie, who needs her help to survive.
Hugh spots Bex immediately. They have a brief private moment, and she tells him that Wren is alive and hiding inside. He asks her if Wren needed an abortion, and she tells him that she wanted birth control pills.
Inside, Izzy tends to Louie, and they trade jokes about growing up poor. He tells her that she can’t fool him—he also uses chatter to distract his patients. They both know that he may lose his leg if he doesn’t get help soon.
