   Meanwhile,back at City Hospital,Terrance has arrived in Frank's room in the ICU as Ruth is there and Terrance checks on him and says to Ruth"He's going to be in an induced coma for a few days so he can heal.Don't worry though,he's going to be fine."Ruth tells Terrance with tears in her eyes"You and Beth have done so much I can't thank you enough for what you've done."Terrance gives Ruth a hug and says"You and B.R. and your family and mine has taken care of each other since before I was born.It's what we do."In Beth's office,Allan has arrived and cuts to the chase and asks his Sister"So what does the results show?"Beth tells Allan"Allison North is your daughter after all."Allan gets emotional and tells Beth"I have no idea how to tell her about this."Beth tells Allan"Have you kept up with her family."Allan gives a puzzled look at Beth and says"I have been in a commune for many years Big Sis.I haven't kept up."Beth tells Allan"I did some research and Allison's Mother is alive but her Father died a few years ago."Allan takes a deep breath and Beth warns him"Don't expect a fairy tale reunion when you tell her."Allan tells his Sister"I don't know how I'm going to tell her."
