Ok, first off I'll preface this by admitting I am stupid for even allowing myself to continue watching this trashed story. But heh, it's like being addicted to crack (I guess).
There's a known killer on the loose, let's leave Luke unguarded alone in the hospital room fighting for his life. Mom, dad, you had a rough day. Why don't you go away to the restaurant for a lovely bite to eat? Show no concern for Luke's life and security.
Win, feel free to wander into the hospital unnoticed. It's rather short staffed right now and they could use your extra help.
Luke, you're paralyzed right now, and we have no clue why. We can't even determine if you were shot, or just took a really hard fall. Dr. Hughes is a really old, he's been practicing since 1960, so pardon him for being an old quack. But he's the only doctor in Oakdale. . . well, aside from Carly's quack that can't tell a tumor from an abscess. Luke, you may be better off dead in this town.
Noah, we have nothing for you to do right now. Now's a good time to become a cliched self-condemning drunk.
