Meanwhile, Sydney is committed to a lunatic asylum and suffers abuse there. When Jane offers Sydney a conditional parole only if she confesses to attempting to kill Michael, Sydney, desperate to get out of the place, accepts. Kimberly s attempts to isolate Michael (so that he won t regain his memory) fail when Jane and Matt visit him to get him to sign some papers, where Matt confronts Kimberly with being the one that tried to kill Michael after discovering that she wears wigs to hide the horrible scar on her head from the car accident involving Michael. But Jane is skeptic to Matt s claims about Kimberly. Reed s parents visit Jo and ask questions about her and Reed.
