Pam makes a tough decision regarding Ann's care, when she takes a turn for the worse.

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."

At Forrester, Brooke and Steffy talk about Ann and Steffy looks forward to seeing her great-grandmother. She doesn’t know much about her, but she hears she's a fighter. Brooke hopes Stephanie and Ann can get past their hurt and start to heal. She says it's important to cherish the mother/daughter relationship and assumes that's why Ann came to town. Brooke notes it would be remarkable if Stephanie could forgive her. Steffy later goes home, but finds Ann is not in her room.
