"How can you be so sure?" Lizzy asks.

Lizzy packs up and after hugging Tom she goes home pulling into the drive about the time Austin should be down for his nap.

"Should we get a doctor?" Bo asks worriedly.

"But what if...I can't face them...I'm not..." Lizzy panics. "Out Duke." Cooter grounds. Bo swallows but leaves the room. "I ain't gonna let them in here kiddo."

"Thanks for letting me stay." Lizzy says.

"Reporters...reporters?" Lizzy starts freaking out.

Lizzy thought over what Daisy and Tom had said and the next day around noon she couldn't wait any longer. "Tom I think I'm going back." Lizzy says.

Lizzy was still arguing with Bo when Daisy and Cooter came in. "Daisy you're alright." Lizzy says.

"Eat up then we'll go." Cooter says.

"What do you say we go visit Lizzy today?" Cooter says.

"What do you mean funny?" Bo asks.

"You feeling better?" Cooter asked as she sat down to a plate of eggs and bacon.

"God please let her be alright." Cooter says softly before walking back to his room.

"I'll be here when you want to talk." Cooter says as Buster nuzzled his way into her arms.

"You want to talk about it?" Cooter asks.

Just as Cooter came in the door he saw Buster licking her face to wake her up. Surprisingly it worked.

Eventually Cooter and Daisy go to bed as well with Buster curling up on the end of Daisy's guest bed.

The nurse nods. "Good night Mr. Duke."

"It's alright. We're gonna keep her the rest of the night and for a while tomorrow just to be sure she's alright but after that she should be able to go home if she takes it easy." The nurse says.

"But...But she's my...my..." Lizzy trails off as her eyes fall closed and she drifts off. Bo looks up at the nurse. "Just a sedative. She's was too worked up. It will wear off in a few hours. Try not to get her so worked up again or we'll remove you from her room." The nurse says.

"But if I don't go now...She'll hurt her I just know she will." Lizzy says still struggling to get up.

"But you don't get it..." Lizzy bites out wincing in pain. "I have to protect her."

"Let me...up...I've got to...protect her." Lizzy wheezes.

"And she'll appreciate it." Cooter says. Back in Chickasaw Lizzy looks up at Bo's question. "I don't...I don't know where I'm gonna go. I wish I could but...everyone's so mad at me." Lizzy whispers.

"That's what the doctors said. But my little girl is strong and she'll beat this." Cooter says.
