Episode 49 Ethan Place Patricia was helping Ethan dress his wound after driving him to his house. Though it was a slight cut on his arm, maybe from when he tried dodging the knife. Pat was cleaning the wound carefully and gently, trying her best not to hurt him further. She was also trying not to cry as she sniffed occasionally. Ethan couldn't help but stare at her in awe. "Why are you crying?" he asked. "I...I'm not," she answered, her voice shaky. "But you are," he scoffed. "Stop crying already, it doesn't even hurt much," he said, looking away. "Ah!" he shouted when Pat pressed down the bandage. "Why are you shouting? I thought you said it didn't hurt," she spoke innocently, not looking at him. Ethan gasped in shock.
