Over the next few days, Dorothy calls Cam in the morning to tell him that his father is lucid. Cam then goes to his father’s house, where his father yells at him from the porch as Cam tries to talk to him. Cam spends the rest of the days just off his father’s property, sitting in a chair and reading East of Eden by John Steinback.

Finally, his father comes out and asks Cam what he meant when he said that he had “proof” that he was there to help him. Cam offers to show him, and Arthur invites him in for lunch. As they eat, Cam plays the voicemail for him about the DNR. Arthur admits that he doesn’t remember leaving the voicemail. However, he confirms that he does want a DNR and that Xander won’t give it to him.

Cam tells his father that he’ll fight Xander for the legality of his power of attorney and the DNR. Arthur points out that this would mean going in front of Judge Bradley—Willow’s father—to fight against the mayor (Xander) in court. Cam realizes that it will make the town hate him even more but decides that he must do it for his father.
