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. |
