During the trial, it is revealed that Anna is acting under her sister's wishes: Kate is tired of living; she's ready to die and doesn't want to force Anna to donate a kidney that will likely not be enough to save her life, so she encouraged Anna to gain the independence that has always been denied to her. As Anna stands up to testify, Campbell Alexander has an epileptic seizure and, thanks to this, Julia discovers the reason of their breakup, leading her to swear to Campbell that he doesn't need to hide his illness from her, and they can be together. The judge rules in Anna's favor, and grants Campbell a medical power of attorney. After gaining medical emancipation, Anna hints that she plans to donate her kidney to Kate, wanting her sister to live. However, as Campbell drives her home after the trial, their car is t-boned by a truck. The on-call firefighter, who happens to be Brian, Anna's father, who arrives at the scene, retrieves an unconscious and severely injured Anna from the wreckage of the crushed car.
