A stunned Arlia and a partially fused Hayley were too stunned to dare defy Isaac. In fact, they were more focused about trying to save Sarah's life. "Sarah, please hold on! You're gonna be okay!" Hayley pleaded to her as Alexis tried to extract the bullet out of her body and accelerate her recovery, but Hayley's mental state, combined with Alexis' hampered performance, seemed to be working against them. With no healing powers of her own, Arlia could only weep as she held onto the younger Howeland's hand, pleading tearfully, "Please stay with us, Sarah! We will help you, we promise. You promised me to teach me how to cook... and you've never broken your promise before... Please... don't... go..." By this point, Arlia had lost all her will to fight and her body reverted to normal as she wept and cried, trying to comfort the dying woman.
