Ryan wonders why but Annie isn't ready to talk about that just yet. Ryan pushes the issue. She does tell Ryan that her mother died suddenly and her father hasn't been able to get past that.

Annie continues packing up Spike's ICU bed. Ryan asks her to teach him a little bit of sign language so he can begin talking to Spike again. Annie agrees. They sit down and Annie tells him signing is as much about body language as it is about the actual motions. Then, she shows him the alphabet in sign. Ryan asks her to skip ahead and show him how to say "I love you" in sign. Annie shows him the motions and they begin signing to each other. Annie kisses him.
