He walks her over to two patients who are staring at a fox hole. 2nd Mental Patient tells Doctor that the foxes have disappeared and 3rd Mental Patient tells Doctor and Lena that the fox is a species of dog and has four legs, unless one has been damaged. Doctor tells Lena that 2nd and 3rd Mental Patient have acute reversible syndrome and Lena runs back to the car. Before Paul Berrigan drives away, Doctor gives him his business card.
