Don't Let Me Die Here.

After Ann has trouble getting back to the car at the beach, Pam and Stephanie help her to a bench. Ann says she doesn’t have any more medication, but asks about medical marijuana. Stephanie calls Taylor to see if Ann can stay at the house and if Taylor can take a look at her. Taylor says it's fine and the Douglas women head out, but not before Ann snipes at Pam for forgetting her bag.

At Taylor's house, the women get an agitated and pained Ann situated in her room and Taylor questions Ann about what medication she was taking. Ann says she's stopped taking everything and Taylor offers to prescribe her top of the line pain meds. Taylor and Stephanie go downstairs where Stephanie tells her friend Ann doesn't want to go to the hospital because she doesn’t want to die there. Taylor says Ann's prognosis isn't good, but assures her they will keep her as comfortable as they possibly can. Stephanie and Taylor then go to the pharmacy, where the pharmacist questions Taylor and Stephanie about the medication she's prescribing.

Pam stays behind with her mother in the bedroom, who says, "Those fantasies you had about smothering me with a pillow? Now would be the time." Pam polishes Ann's nails, as Ann asks Pam if she found what she was looking for by moving to L.A. Pam says sometimes it's important to just be on your own and Ann recalls she always took care of her and says she wasted her youth by doing so. Pam gets teary as they talk about the past and her father and then Ann screams out in pain. Pam frantically calls Stephanie, but she misses the call, so Pam calls 911. When the EMTs get there, Pam insists Ann doesn't want to go to the hospital, but they have no choice. After the EMTs take Ann away, Pam tortures herself by thinking about her mother demanding she not be taken to the hospital. Stephanie and Taylor return and Stephanie goes upstairs to find a distraught Pam who tells her there is a clot in Ann's lungs so the EMTs took Ann to the hospital. Stephanie goes off on her sister wondering what she's done.

Taylor, Pam and Stephanie go to the hospital and meet with Dr. Lewis, who tells them they know about her Do Not Resuscitate order, but Ann has a pulmonary embolism which probably has more to do with her age and inactivity, than her cancer. Dr. Lewis wants to resolve things before they send her home because they are much better prepared to take care of Ann there. Pam and Stephanie go in to see their mother and Pam cries knowing she will hate this. Pam doesn't want to let Ann die, but Stephanie says they have to do what their conscience tells them to. Ann wakes up and asks what have they done. She says, "Whatever I did to you, don't let me die here." Stephanie tells Ann the doctors won't release her and Ann cries, "Let me out."

Mother.

Donna comes home to see Eric who won't tell her what he's working on. She tells him Ann is in town and Eric is glad she's there. They discuss Ann and Stephanie's relationship, as well as the abuse she suffered from her father. Donna thinks no one should have to endure that and actually feels sorry for Stephanie. Eric tells Donna Stephanie will need some moral support after this visit with her mother. Donna tells him Pam will be there too and they are at Paradise Cove. Eric says it's Ann's favorite place and knows she can be tough, but there isn't anything in the world Stephanie wouldn’t do for her mother.

Still at the beach, Pam tries to talk to Ann about her condition, but she just wants to enjoy the moment. She tells them she has advanced pancreatic cancer and there's nothing the doctors can do anymore. Pam gets upset as Ann says she's fine with dying and Stephanie suggests they go to the hospital, but Ann refuses because she will handle her death the way she wants. This is her one wish and she demands her daughters honor it. Stephanie and Pam agree not to take her to the hospital and Ann asks to go back to the airport because her flight back is in two hours. Stephanie and Pam demand she stay there and Stephanie won't take no for an answer. Ann agrees and they help her to the car, but Ann starts to collapse and Pam screams out, "Mother!"

Beautiful.

On the set of "The Catwalk," Pam meets with a fan as Stephanie stands nearby. Ann calls Stephanie from the airport and says she will get a taxi because there's something she has to do before she sees them.

The taxi brings Ann to Paradise Cove and Ann says it's even more beautiful than she remembered. She tells the driver she came here once with her daughters and it was one of the most special days of her life. The driver helps her out of the cab and notes she seems a little frail. He wonders if she is up for this and she says she'll find out. She pays the driver and heads to the pier where she calls Stephanie and Pam and reminisces about her last Christmas in L.A. She says she's waiting for them to join her. After they hang up, Ann pulls out some pills and dumps them in the ocean. Pam and Stephanie come to the pier and find Ann sitting at a table who appears to have dozed off. Ann opens her eyes and slowly focuses on her daughters who wonder what is going on with her. She tells them she had to come to the most beautiful place she's ever seen in her life because she's dying. She doesn’t have much longer, but the time she does have left, she wants to be happy with her daughters near the ocean. She grabs their hands and starts to hum, as Pam and Stephanie get choked up.

It’s War!

Ann shows up at the hospital and talks with Stephanie as Donna observes. Ann can’t believe Pam is suffering from an old brain injury. Eric comes upon them and learns that the biopsy came back negative – Pam doesn’t have cancer. Ann talks to Donna and tells her to listen up – she will not let her daughter be put in jail or an institution. She wants to take her to Northwestern for treatment, but Donna won’t allow Pam to be treated in a country club with padded walls. Eric and Stephanie ask her to have compassion. Eric says she should have compassion just like she asked them to have for her brother. Donna says what Pam did was horrendous, but Eric reminds her that what happened with Storm is just like Pam and they can’t allow her to be prosecuted. Donna reluctantly agrees to let Ann take her to Chicago. Ann and Stephanie are grateful and Eric hugs Donna.

Stephanie, Ann and Eric tell Pam she will come home to Chicago with Ann. Donna watches from the doorway as Pam learns Eric and Donna won’t testify against her. Donna is disgusted and walks away. The rest of them follow to let Pam get some rest.

Off Her Meds.

Steffy and Marcus come to the house and yell at Stephanie. Brooke says they should wait for the police and see what they have to say. Stephanie gets a call from Ann who tells her that she found a bag full of Pam's prescription bottles dating back to June. Ann and Stephanie both panic that Pam hasn’t been taking her meds for three months and Ann says, “We both know what happens when your sister goes off her meds.” Steph assures her mother that she will talk to Pam and then fills everyone in on what Ann just said. She says the medication stops Pam from posing as a danger to herself and others. They all agree that it doesn’t sound good.
