Griffin thinks it was just triggered by her seeing the key card. Ryan wonders how it explains Greenlee remembering seeing another patient. Griffin thinks it sounds like a dream.

Tad apologizes to Cara for going on about Dixie. Cara thinks it's ok. Tad doesn't know why it suddenly hit him like this. Cara understands that Dixie inspired him to be who he is today. Tad asks who is he now. Tad thinks he should find out who he is separate from Dixie as he thought he made peace with her death but he obviously hasn't.

Tad says he has to move on with closure somehow. Cara understands the importance of closure because she didn't get it with Jake.
