Will Terry Live?

Episode update

Wednesday’s scene opens with our heroine still bedbound but awake. Lethargic but wanting to move, she takes her first wobbly steps. She paces herself through the episode, but she all too easily slips back into her usual patterns.

She’s roaming the streets of her town in her hospital gown, her cape is still in the cleaner’s mind you, and she sees a little old lady at the base of a tree. She’s frantically trying to call the kitty down. Of course, anyone who knows anything about cats knows that “FK you” look they can give. So Terry scales the tree, grabs the cat by the back of the neck with one hand, and climbs back down with the other. #kittysaved #hissinglittleungratefulbastard

The thankful grandma is still waving gratitude as Terry wanders onward. She happens to look up. There is a section of town where the sky has become smoky. She trots a couple of blocks to the location and lo-and-behold.

A house fire.

Terry leaps into action. She kicks in the front door and begins calling out to see if she can get a response. On the first floor, she finds one child out cold. She hoists the kid over her shoulder and runs out of the inferno to the neighbor’s yard, where she gently lies the child down away from harm. Four more dramatic runs and now the entire 5 person family is splayed out and gasping for air.

All survived.

As she’s recounting her story to the local police department, and a film crew from the local news, she can’t help but overhear on the police radio that the part of the town closes to the beach is underwater.

Rogue tsunami.

Terry, the police, and the news crew all look at one another. They all take off towards their vehicles, the police offering our heroine a lift. They get to the scene and…

An exhausted dog paddling along up to his chin in water, attempting to make it to dry land. Our Terry does what we all knew she would do.

She dove in headfirst.

End scene.

Thursday’s episode opens with Our Angel back in her hospital bed but hooked up to more lines, wires, and machines before. Her previous day of saving lives has nearly cost her her own.

Will she survive this time or has she finally laid down her life to the extent of the point of no return?

Stay tuned.

So, yeah. Basically, I felt better, not well, but better on Wednesday. Overdid it. Felt like a hairball that a cat coughed up on Thursday. So far today (Friday) pain, but I’m alive.
