Jet reels in the hospital room as Dr. Lee explains the stakes again: without surgery Jet will die soon, but the operation has under a ten percent survival chance. Jet’s mother, Dianne, pushes hard for surgery, framing it as the only “right” choice, while Jet snaps back that she didn’t cause this and can’t be guilted into dying on an operating table.

Dr. Lee interrupts to note Jet is struggling to find certain words and explains the likely cause: trauma to the left hemisphere has produced mild anomic aphasia, making uncommon words hard to retrieve. Dr. Lee urges the family to step out so police can question Jet quickly, since time is limited.

Detective George Ecker arrives with Chief Lou Jankowski and Sergeant Jack Finney (Billy’s father), whom Jet knows well. Jet tells them the attacker came from behind and Jet didn’t see them, can’t identify footsteps beyond being one person, and doesn’t know what weapon was used; the weapon was not recovered. Jet asks who found her and learns Billy did, and Jet worries about him when Jack won’t directly answer.

Ecker presses for motive, and Jet can’t think of any reason someone would want to kill her. The police reveal a troubling lead: Jet’s ex-boyfriend JJ Lim can’t be reached, and even JJ’s brother Henry says JJ abruptly left town Friday night. They also tell Jet her cell phone is missing and request her Apple Watch passcode to access data; Jet gives “0709,” aware this may be their last chance to verify anything if she dies.

After the officers leave, Dr. Lee returns with Jet’s family to force the decision. Jet refuses surgery, choosing “later” over likely dying immediately in the operating room; Dianne panics and demands the family override Jet, but Dr. Lee insists it is Jet’s choice. Jet gets out of bed, asks Luke to stop the police, and declares she needs the coming days to do something meaningful: Jet will use her final week to solve her own murder.
