Jax thanks Brenda for finding them, but she says it was all Dante. He asks about Carly and she says she's riding in the ambulance with Morgan. Molly praises Michael for being a hero.

Dante comes in and asks Robin if there is any word on his mother. She tells him Patrick is already operating on her and that he will do everything he can to save Olivia.

Dante talks with Brenda in a hospital corridor. He says that Patrick is a great surgeon and that when he was in the hospital, his mother never left. He goes on to say she was like that his whole life, always there for him. Michael jumps in and says that while they were on the mountain, all Olivia talked about was him.

She tells them that they found the bus driver laying there and that he died. Kristina is brought in with Ali and Taylor walking with her. Alexis and Molly rush over to her, and she tells him how great Taylor was. Steve tells the nurses to get her to a room. Taylor asks if he can go with her, but Steve wants him and Ali to get checked out. Ali insists that she just has a headache, but Taylor says if he has to get checked out, then she does too. They walk away and Jax and Jason walk up to Steve. Jax tells him that Matt is being worked on and Jason says Morgan hasn't come in yet. Steve asks about Olivia and Jax says that Patrick is operating on her. Dante comes up and asks if there's any news on his mother, but Steve doesn't know anything.

Dante says that he's the expert, but Steve says Michael is the hero. Dante turns and thanks Michael.

At the desk, Patrick tells Robin that Olivia almost didn't make it and that her chances are less than what he told Dante. Lisa walks up after fixing Matt's arm. Matt and Maxie follow, and Matt brags that he didn't even scream once. Matt tells Maxie that Lisa didn't try to poison him, stab him, nor garrote him, to which she replies Lisa was capable enough. Matt takes Patrick aside and asks about Olivia. He says it was touch and go.

Elsewhere in the hospital, Brenda asks Jason where Sonny is. He says he's with Morgan getting him checked out. She leaves to find him.
