After ConaLee and her mother go inside after being on the back lawn, they can hear the sounds of commotion. At the stairwell for the women's ward, there is a nicely dressed man raging at those gathered around him. He is shouting and cursing. Attendants seem to be trying to calm him down. He strikes at anyone who comes near him. ConaLee notices that the man is Papa. As she and her mother watch, the attendants bring him down. As Papa tries to get up, O'Shea catches him under the arms, and he lunges at O'Shea's throat. O'Shea throws Papa to the floor. Attendants pile on top and bind Papa's hands and feet. He is placed on a portable bed that serves as a cage and carried away.
