"So, is this going to be like a thing now or...?" Josh Reinhart pointed to himself andJohanna as he leaned back against his headboard, his bare chest on display. "You're sure none of the other alphas are home?" Johanna ignored Josh as she put her shirt back on, hearing a small noise come from the room over. "The only one that may be home is Ethan and he really doesn't care who I bring home, everyone else is out." Josh shrugged, watching Johanna put begin to slip her pants on from his position on the bed. Johanna pulled her pants all the way up and began to buckle them when she heard yelling come from the hallway, followed by a body falling into the wall. Johanna paused getting dressed and looked at Josh, who now showed some concern on his face. The supernatural being used his advanced hearing to gain some insight on what was happening. "Danny is here, something is wrong with him." Josh threw the bedding off his body, leaving him completely naked as he moved to get dressed himself. Johanna raised an eyebrow Josh before going and opening the werewolf's door. "Johanna?" Ethan furrowed his eyebrows as he looked up from holding a groaning Danny.

"What did you do to him?" Johanna scrunched her face as she noticed the sweat dripping down Danny's face as he was hunched over gasping for air. "I don't know, he started having chest pains and then couldn't breathe. Can you help me? It's getting worse." Ethan tried to stop Danny from falling over as Danny kept clutching his chest. "Yeah." Johanna completely moved into the hallway, wrapping her arms around Danny's other side. "Do you have a car?" Ethan questioned Johanna as Josh came out of the room, fully dressed now. "Yeah, Josh, grab my keys from the floor. Ethan, let's go." Johanna instructed the two alphas, helping guide Danny out of the loft. "What's happening?" Josh questioned, running back in the room to grab Johanna's keys. "Don't know, we're taking him to the hospital." Johanna informed the alpha as the four moved out of the loft and toward the elevator.

"Did he eat anything?" Johanna questioned as she the four got in the elevator. Ethan shook his head no and the 4 eagerly waited for the elevator to go down. The elevator dinged and the four moved out to the car. "What were you doing in our loft?" Ethan questioned from the back seat with Danny as Johanna pulled out of the Loft parking lot, Josh in the passenger seat. "Making regrettable like decisions." Johanna responded as she focused on the dark road ahead of them. "Rude." Josh playfully glared at the dirty blonde, to which Johanna shrugged.

Johanna followed Josh and Ethan as the carried Danny into the emergency entrance of the hospital. Johanna looked around the waiting room to see just how many people seemed to be in the hospital that night, a lot with more significant injuries than most. "Someone, someone help me!" Ethan yelled as Danny's breathing got worse, to the point where it almost stopped completely. Johanna's eyes met Scott's as him and his mother ran over to the four. "Gentle, gentle." Melissa McCall instructed as she gestured for Johs and Ethan to put Danny down on a free chair in the hallway. "What did you do?" Scott immediately pulled Ethan away once Danny was sat down. "Nothing! He said he was having chest pains and trouble breathing, but it just kept getting worse." Ethan glanced over at Danny as the boy was desperately gasping for air and clutching onto the chair arms. "This is not good." Melissa listened to the boy's labored breathing. "How much longer on Doctor Hillyard?!" Melissa called out to the receptionist around the corner. "His larynx has shifted to the side; I think it's a tension pneumothorax." Melissa diagnosed the teenager right before he threw up all over the floor. All three werewolves looked down at the substance, but one immediately recognized something important. "Mistletoe." Ethan's face got even more somber as he starred at his boyfriend.

Melissa had yelled for more assistance and soon Danny was on a bed, being wheeled into another room. Josh had followed Ethan, being the responsible adult that was home during the incident. Johanna simply followed everyone back because Scott did. "Will you four please go back to the waiting room?" Melissa was hoping to get rid of the extra people. "Where are the nurses and doctors? Where is everyone?" Ethan worried about the lack of staff around. "It's a full house tonight, they are tending to other patients." Melissa explained. "It's a full moon too." Johanna muttered under her breath, crossing her arms. "Okay, well, mom, how can we help?" Scott wanted to be helpful while he refused to leave Ethan alone. Johanna and Josh remained more in the background out of the way. "Honey, you can't. His lung has collapsed, his heart is being pushed against his chest cavity." Melissa explained the situation. "He's going to die, isn't he?" Scott's question worried everyone, but it worsened Melissa's facial expression. Melissa let out a sigh and looked around to see if anyone else was in the room. "No, no, he's not. Scott, you grab the tape." Melissa started instructing the teenagers to help her.
