Finn wonders what she wants him to say. Luna was very disturbed. Poppy cries, “He was still my child.” And his. He must be feeling the loss. Finn can’t do this. “I have to check on Liam,” he says. Poppy feels guilty and Finn wonders if she expects him to say something to make her feel better. A nurse knocks and summons him, so Finn leaves.
In Liam’s room, Bridget asks a nurse if Liam has been taken for tests. The nurse explains that Dr. Buckingham released him into the care of his father, Bill Spencer.

Bill Prays for a Miracle
At the private clinic, Bill gives someone instructions by phone to wire the money. He mutters to himself that the doctor better know what the hell he’s doing.
In the OR, Grace assures Liam he’s in good hands. They put him under and exchange a glance. Grace finally says, “Scalpel,” and they begin.
In the waiting area, Bill gets confirmation that the wire transfer has gone through. Looking upward, he tells God if he wants to take someone, to take him. He pleads, “Please, do not take my son from me.”
In the OR, Liam’s eyelids flutters as Grace and the surgeon work on his brain.
Grace joins Bill in the waiting area and tells him the procedure is over. “Liam’s in recovery.” Bill wants to see him now. Grace leads him into the recovery room, where Liam is still unconscious. Grace says he will be for a while. The surgeon says the procedure went well. Grace tells Bill they pulled off a medical miracle for his son.
