She's Not Sorry

Amelia squeezes Caitlin’s hand and begs her to wake up again. Caitlin eventually opens her eyes, and her gaze sweeps around the room. Meghan tells herself this isn’t happening and desperately hopes that Caitlin will have memory loss and won’t remember her. Caitlin’s eyes close again, and she doesn’t wake up for the rest of the day. Meghan is shaken throughout the rest of her shift, worrying about what she’ll do if Caitlin does wake up.

The next day, Meghan measures Caitlin’s brain function. She scores higher on the Glasgow Coma Scale than she has since her admittance. In the break room, Meghan realizes that the only way to resolve her situation is to kill Caitlin. She guesses she could get away with it because the hospital has been understaffed and the nurses have been overworked. Mistakes like this happen all the time. She could lose her job and license, but that is better than going to jail.

Meghan works with the other nurses to take Caitlin off her ventilator and help her breathe on her own. Throughout the process, Meghan keeps thinking about how to kill Caitlin and about everything Milo told her about Caitlin’s history. She also focuses on everything that Caitlin did to her when she was pretending to be Nat, deciding that Caitlin deserves to die for all the ways she hurt people. She realizes that she could give Caitlin an insulin shot that’s meant for her other patient, Mrs. Layley. Such mistakes with insulin aren’t uncommon. She takes the insulin pen for Mrs. Layley and hides it in her pocket.

Meghan is worried about her decision but takes the insulin pen into Caitlin’s room anyway. Caitlin is still half asleep when Meghan gives her the shot in her upper arm. She reminds herself that Caitlin is a bad person while administering it. Afterward, Meghan runs into Luke in the hall. He notices she’s upset, but she pretends she’s fine. Then Luke asks if she’d be willing to go on a double date with him, Penelope, and their friend Daniel. Meghan agrees to think about it, but she’s distracted, waiting for the Becketts to arrive and discover that Caitlin is dying.

Caitlin goes into cardiac arrest from the insulin. Meghan “discovers” her and makes a show of panicking. She and the other nurses try to stabilize Caitlin. Meghan cries, telling her coworker Natalia that she mistakenly gave Caitlin insulin. She thinks revealing this information is better than feigning ignorance, as they’ll find the insulin in Caitlin’s body anyway. Shortly thereafter, Caitlin dies. Natalia consoles Meghan, reminding her it was an accident but suggesting she find a lawyer anyway. Afterward, Meghan decides to leave work. She texts Sienna, asking her to stay with a friend for the night because Meghan is sick. On her way out of the hospital, she sees the examiner take Caitlin’s body away and watches the Becketts respond to the news.

On her way home, Meghan picks up some liquor while telling herself she made the right choice. She’s startled when she gets home and finds Ben waiting for her. He says Sienna mentioned she was sick and acting strangely, and he wanted to check in on her. She reveals that she lost a patient, and Ben comforts her. They have a drink together, and Meghan notices Ben acting the way he did when they first fell in love. Meghan pauses their conversation to get changed and thinks about what’s happening with Ben. Back in the living room, Ben and Meghan kiss. Meghan asks him about the woman he’s been seeing, and Ben reveals that the relationship ended. They kiss again and keep touching each other. Meghan isn’t sure if this is a good idea and asks Ben the name of his girlfriend. When he says her name was Caitlin, Meghan jerks away. She suddenly wonders if Caitlin and Ben were sabotaging her together. She texts Sienna while Ben is in the bathroom, discovering that Sienna didn’t tell Ben to check on her. Meghan can’t figure out what’s happening or if Ben knows that Caitlin died. She tells him that they shouldn’t sleep together, and he agrees to leave.

Meghan can’t sleep. She keeps worrying over Ben and Caitlin’s involvement. Caitlin learned everything about Meghan through Ben, but she doesn’t know if he told Caitlin this information to hurt Meghan. The next day, Ben texts Meghan asking to see her again and offering to cook dinner for them. Meghan doesn’t respond because HR contacts her about a meeting at the hospital. Meghan attends the meeting, answering their questions about Caitlin’s death as best she can. She tells herself that if she gets fired, she’ll get a different job and change her life. Meghan emerges from the meeting, sees several policemen around the nurse’s station, and flees for home.

Meghan is panicking the whole way home. Ben keeps texting. She thinks about Caitlin’s death, the HR meeting, and Sienna being at home alone. Once home, she discovers that Sienna is in her room with Nico. Sienna’s phone is in the kitchen, and texts come in from Ben. Meghan reads through them, discovering that Ben did ask Sienna about Meghan and that Sienna did tell him that Meghan was acting oddly. She also sees messages where Sienna calls her a liar. Meghan barges into Sienna’s room, determined to understand what’s happening. She catches Sienna and Nico making a sign in the same handwriting as the note Meghan found in her locker. Nico leaves, and Meghan confronts Sienna about the notes and her texts with Ben. Sienna bursts out in anger, accusing Meghan of lying to her. Ben’s ex-girlfriend, Caitlin, told Meghan that Ben isn’t her father. Sienna put the note in Meghan’s locker to punish her. She didn’t tell Ben, however, because she didn’t want to hurt him. Sienna yells at Meghan and closes herself in her room. Meghan decides to give her space.

Luke texts Meghan, and they make plans to meet for a drink. She’s worried about leaving Sienna but knows they can’t talk right now. She finds Luke already at the bar. Luke confides in Meghan about his marital difficulties. Penelope is mad at him because she thinks he’s cheating. Meghan shares some of her own troubles, and Luke asks after Sienna. He decides to head home to talk to Penelope, and Meghan decides to sit at the bar a while longer. After he leaves, Meghan gets a second call from an unknown number. She picks up and hears Penelope’s voice asking if Meghan knows where Luke is. The police came to her apartment with an arrest warrant for him: They found his DNA on the most recent attack victim. Horrified, Meghan realizes that Luke has been behind all the attacks and that he’s heading to her apartment to hurt Sienna.

Meghan repeatedly calls Sienna on her way home, but she doesn’t answer. Meghan calls the police to explain what’s happening. At home, Sienna is missing and her phone is on her bed. Meghan calls Penelope to inform her that Luke has Sienna, and Penelope suggests that she look for them on the Lakefront Trail. Meghan races across the city, eventually finding Luke and Sienna near the house that Luke told Meghan he wanted to buy for Penelope. Luke is wielding a gun and tells Meghan that he wants her to give him money so he can give his family the life that he wants. Meghan tries to convince him to let Sienna withdraw the money while she stays with him at the house. Luke points the gun at Sienna. Suddenly, there’s a burst of sound. Luke and Sienna fall, both covered in blood. Meghan realizes that when the police arrived and shot Luke, they caused Luke’s gun to go off too.

The EMTs take Sienna to the hospital, where Meghan learns that Sienna is unharmed but Luke is dead. When Sienna wakes up, she tells Meghan that she only went with Luke because he told her Meghan was in trouble. Meghan doesn’t blame Sienna, and they make amends, agreeing to keep Sienna’s paternity a secret from Ben. Then Ben joins them at the hospital. Meghan is glad to see him but tells him they can’t get back together. Even so, she feels like she, Ben, and Sienna are a family.

Meghan returns to work after a month’s leave. No one is talking about Caitlin’s death anymore considering what happened with Luke. At home afterward, Ben comes over to pick up Sienna. He then gives Meghan her missing engagement ring, which he found at his condo. His demeanor makes Meghan wonder if he knows more than he’s letting on. He might know the truth of what she did after all.
