I powdered your pill stash and put it in your food.
[breathes heavily]
But don't worry, your career is gonna hold up just fine.
Ashley.
[distorted] Go to sleep.
[news reporter] Since 2017, Western countries, including America,
have exported sixty percent of all plastic scrap to China or Hong Kong.
But China has recently shut its doors...
[Kevin] Yes!
OK...
-So, are you ready? -Hm-mm.
[Kevin whispers] Go, Harry.
[electrical crackling]
[mouse squeaks]
Yes!
Yes.
Is it OK?
He's totally fine.
He's just stunned,
just be out for about 25 minutes.
Enough time for the homeowner to scoop him up and get him out.
Is it dead?
I need to work on that voltage.
[news reporter] Dramatic breaking news, here on USN this evening,
as we've just heard global pop star Ashley O is fighting for her life
following an allergic reaction to shellfish.
The singer's condition is described as critical.
She's been rushed to St. Juniper's ICU.
Unconfirmed reports say she is in an irreversible coma.
This tragic news comes days after the final performance...
So, you lied?
I'm sorry. Ra--
[Ashley Too] So, Rachel, what would you like to do?
We could try a makeover or I could read motivational quotes from inspiring women.
Oh, we could listen to some of my music.
I'd love to discuss some of the lyrics with you. Do you know that--
Ashley, go to sleep.
[doll chimes]
I'm sorry.
[Jack] Rachel.
[news reporter] There's still no word yet
on whether Ashley herself can possibly recover,
but this is the scene right now outside the hospital,
as stunned fans gather to stand vigil.
I talk to my Ashley Too every day
and I swear, when I told her what had happened to the real Ashley,
Ashley Too freaked out.
Uh-uh.
-[nurse] I work here. -Private session.
-[nurse] No, my shift started-- -Walk away.
-my shift started-- -Walk away.
Well, she's stable.
That's actually the creative center. A whole lot of activity here.
We only need ten songs.
One album, that's it.
[Munk] It might take a while, her thinking is likely to be disordered.
[Catherine] That gives us time to finesse her replacement.
Start the body scan.
[woman on TV] Live, breathe,
smell.
-Full spectrum memory. -are you done with that?
[woman on TV] You can get a Willow Grain upgrade
for less than the price of a daily cup of coffee.
Hey, do you want any ice cream?
Dad left enough in the freezer for the whole week.
[music in earphones]
It's chocolate fudge brownie. Your favorite.
[woman on TV] In-store in-grain procedure with local anesthetic.
-If you change your mind. -[TV] You're good to go.
Because memory is for living.
Welcome back, still to come, Tusk makes a boo boo on a British TV show
and we'll have the latest on the Sea of Tranquility reboot.
But first, an exclusive update on tragic pop sensation, Ashley O.
It's been six months since she fell into a coma
and still the question on everyone's lips is the same:
"When, if ever, will Ashley wake up?"
Todd has this exclusive report.
[Todd] Six months ago, millions were stunned to learn
that Grammy-winning pop sensation Ashley O
had suffered a catastrophic allergic reaction while dining at home.
She slipped into a coma, where she remains to this day.
Now with days to go until the singer's 25th birthday,
I was given a behind-the-scenes look at how she's doing.
[music in earphones]
It's a day Ashley O's aunt and manager Catherine Ortiz will never forget,
a day her niece almost died.
It was just a few bites from a shrimp taco.
We didn't even know she had a shellfish allergy.
I really thought we were going to lose her.
I just thank God Dr. Munk was in the house at the time.
[Todd] But despite Munk's heroic efforts, Ashley's coma proved irreversible.
[washing cycle starts]
[exhales]
But incredibly, Ashley's music career didn't end there,
thanks to a remarkable technological leap.
We discovered that although we couldn't communicate with Ashley,
we could read her brainwaves
-using a temporal interceptor. -[beeps]
[Todd] Once plugged in, what they heard stopped them in their tracks.
Music. She was still composing music in her head, in her dreams.
