I don't know who Drusilla is. Cutting your heart out? Metaphorically, right?

[He doesn't pull against her touch, but he doesn't lean into it, either.] I don't remember anything. At all.

[She sits slowly in the chair beside him.] Jack, I don't know where to start...if it's all gone, none of this will make sense. I adopted you, babe. You're my boy. You live with me and Ten. You tried to kill me and...[she blinks]...and you got a...[she blinks again]...Oh Hell.

[Jack puts his head in his hands.] What? You adopted me and I tried to kill you? Who... [But there are just too many questions to ask, and he shakes his head helplessly, putting it down on the desk.] Why is this happening? Tell me this is a nightmare, okay?

It's the worst nightmare, Chip. For all of us. [She covers her eyes and rests her elbow on the table.] Okay...okay. Well...okay. Okay, so this is my fault, but you're safe and you're going to be ok. We'll just...um...you'll come home tonight and we'll figure it out. It'll be ok. [She sounds like she's reassuring herself just as much as she's trying to make him feel better.]

[Jack starts shaking his head.] Look... I don't know where home is. I don't know you.

Of course you know me. I'm CJ. I'm your first and best teacher, and you're my Chip. We can go from there. I can't leave you like this, babe. I have a feeling I know what's going on. And it's bad. I need you close.

[Jack is still shaking his head.] I don't know you. I don't know anyone here. For all I know, you're the one who did this.

I think...I kinda am. [She sighs] I get it, hon. It's ok. I'll, um, be here if you need me. [She looks like she might cry as she pulls out a pen and writes 555.252.7344 in his notebook.] You call me if you need anything. And...you should go see a doctor. or...someone. [She rises and walks away in a hurry.]

[Jack looked down at the number in his notebook and then watched her walk away, feeling like he'd kicked someone who was already down.]
