  • Joy hears him crying, even though he denies it. He tells her to go back to bed.
  • Dominick decides to leave and go for a drive… and he falls asleep at the wheel.
  • He has a dream of his dead grandmother, frozen solid in a lake. She's trying to talk but being frozen and dead makes it hard to speak.
