Nina: Is there any news?
Doctor: Chloe has undergone some tests and she has responded to treatment well...we're hoping that she will be awake in the next few hours, and we are confident that she will make a full recovery...
(Alicia, Tanya and Nina let out a sigh of relief)
Alicia: Oh my god! That's great news!
Tanya: This may be all well and good...but think about Greg...how are we going to tell Chloe that the love of her life is dead?!
Nina: I guess we'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it...
Doctor: I can break the news to Chloe if you like...
Alicia: No..we should do it...we are her friends after all....the main thing right now is that Chloe is ok...she's going to survive what's happened to her...that is all that matters!
Nina: I just dread us telling Chloe the terrible news that Greg is dead! :(
Tanya: Her heart is going to be broken...there's no mistaking that...
