## Series

Pilot

Sally is seen in a comatose state at Woodgate Memorial Hospital when Damien visits her after his shift. He takes her hand and sits by her bedside.

Made of Stone

Cassie touches Damien's hand and sees a vision of Sally and Damien under white sheets laughing and kissing. She asks him who Sally is, and Damien realizes that Cassie saw her. He explains that Sally was his girlfriend, but she fell into a coma after ignoring her headaches for months. The headaches were a sign of bacterial meningitis that caused her to fall into a comatose state. Cassie explains that she was able to communicate with her dementia-ridden Grandmother whens he lost her ability to speak. She offers to try and do the same with Sally, though she makes no promises. Damien happily, and excitedly, accepts her offer.

Where the Shadows Fall

Kiss Them For Me

Sally's doctors inform Damien that she is minimally conscious and has a slight increase in brain activity. They tell him to have moderate hopes. Later, Damien admits to Cassie that he can't wait to propose to her one day.

Let Me In Your Window

Damien visits Woodgate Memorial and speak with Sally's doctor. The doctor states that Sally has abnormal brain activity, as it spikes but then drops down again. While this could be a sign of her trying to wake up, Dr. Ronson explains that they can't be certain either way.

That afternoon, Cassie is getting coffee with an old friend when she sees Sally in the streets. Sally is standing in her nightgown just watching but disappears soon after she is seen. Tom explains this as a "fetch", which is a premonition that can either foreshadow a long life or death.

Sally appears to Cassie again in the woods a day or so later. This time, her hair is down and she reaches her hand out toward Cassie.

She appears one final time to show Cassie a vision of her packing for the trip to Seattle. She wants to take Damien's Harvard sweater and finds the beautiful engagement ring he bought. She smiles happily but hides it so he can surprise her later. Damien hurries in to help her get the sweater, as he didn't want her to find the ring. She acts as if she didn't see it and they share a hug and kiss, with Damien tell her of his plans to visit her in Seattle the following week. When the vision ends, Cassie realizes what it means.

Damien is in the police department when he answers a phone call from the hospital about Sally. Cassie visits the hospital that night and comforts a now grieving Damien, who is sitting by Sally's hospital bed in tears. Sally had passed away peacefully in her sleep.

While the Song Remains the Same

Damien goes back to work for the first time since Sally's death. Tom offers to give him longer to cope, but Damieni insists that he needs to be there. He tells Tom that it meant a lot to him that Tom and Cassie came to Sally's funeral.
