  • Aimee hugs him, she's so glad they're not hurt, but Sutter has lost it.
  • He tells her she's crazy, and that she should get as far away from him as she can.
  • He walks, telling her to drive herself home, but of course she gets out, too, and yells for him to come back.
  • He turns around to tell her no –
  • Just in time to watch a car knocks her off the road.
  • He runs back to her, in a panic, but she's mostly okay – the car just broke her arm.
