Max continues to be unstable which unnerves Steph and moves her to tears. Having been told that Max can return home having made good progress Steph appears more concerned than encouraged by the news. Max makes her more uneasy as he calls her Claire whilst the pair spend time alone in his hospital room. He is unaware that he has uttered the name of his deceased wife, but it throws Steph and helps to cement her belief that she cannot look after Max alone. Despite the positive report from the Doctor, Max continues to hallucinate, hearing threatening and menacing exchanges and comments by his friends and family which don't occur. As the doctor returns to see Max before leaving the hospital he grows violent as the pressure of his hallucinations break him. Crying out as to whether his action seem normal he begins hurling objects around his hospital room. As he tires he returns to a more relaxed manner muttering quietly to himself.
