“I knew what I was doing was wrong but it’s like there was a little devil in side me saying do it do it!’ says Emma
“And that’s the time you have to say to yourself is this really what I want to do and if it hurts others won’t it eventually hurt me!says Corinna

As the service begins J.R. gets up to speak about his sister
“My sister,Colby. was fun loving and most of all giving! She would give someone the shirt off her back if they needed it .a lot of people aren’t aaware of this but Colby spent a lot of volunteer hours at the Miranda center helping others !She was just starting out in life studying taking some business courses and clothing design .She’d found a place for her shop and was about to open next month her own clothing shop!Chandler’s fine clothing!”his voice breaks here and he glups for composure”she was a treasure a gift to our family we will miss her laughter !he concludes wiping away tears.Adm gets up to take his palce taking out his speech on paper so he wouldn’t stumble over is words and do his duaghter justice
Just then a woman bursts into the church we see its the woman at he chapel who was praying for Tina
“Stop this stop the funeral says Mrs,Michaels
“Who is this woman? Have you no compassion this is my daughter’s funeral says Adam “How dare you!”
“I dare because that’s not your daughter in that box !That’s my Tina! she says bursting into wailing sobs
“We hear different people yell out in shock “What!’ over all the church!
Jesse goes to the woman and gets the story

Two hours earlier at the hospital
The woman we think is Tina has just awoke but her jaw is wired shut!Bandages cover her nose and most of her face!Tina’s mother cries tears of joy and says
“Oh Tina my baby your awake!I’m so glad you’re awake !It’s goignt ot be okay baby yourin the hospital!
Colby tries to talk to tell Mrs.Michaels she’s Colby but can’t because of the jaw wiring!She motions for a pen but Mrs.Michaels can’t seem to understnad her !She fumbles around looking for the callbell trying to get someoen other than this crazy woman who insists she’s Tina.She find sit and presses it the nurse comes in checks her vitals while Colby keeps motioning for pad and paper finally an hour afer she had awoken the nurse finally clues in and hands her it!Colby writes
I am not Tina! I am Colby Chandler!!!
The nurse reads this and is extremely worried she has misunderstood.”Are you saying you are Colby Chandler ?asks the nurse handing back the pen and paper
Colby nods Yes and writes YES!
Mrs.Michael’s looks at Colby in horror and realizes that this is Colby not Tina as she looks again and that Tina is dead!She starts crying loudly
“where is my family?’ asks Colby on the paper which makes Mrs.Micheal’s realize the Chandler’s are about to bury hr daughter as Colby and that though she’s suffering they desrve to know their child their sister is alive she rushes to the church as the nurse tells Colby hse will call her family trying to figure out how to tell them Colby is alive!
“She’s alive she ‘s really alive says Adam
“Yes she is Dad!’says J.R. through tears of joy
Adam collapses in joy and stress and they have to call an ambulance.!J.R. insists on going in the ambulance to be with his Dad and get to Colby quicker .When they get to the hospital Adam recovers and is wheeled to Colby’s room where he takes his daughter in his arms!And says
“thank -you God!"
J.R enters the room and hugs his sister gently saying “Welcome back little sister! You gave us quite a scare !’
back to the church where most of the people have left
Jake says ‘ Thank God for small mercies! thank you God for Colby !’ and then soberly he says “but that doesn’t bring back Carolyn ,Corinna or Tina they are all gone!”
God bless them all and take them in his loving arms!Amen!'
As the church service breaks up .We see Mrs.Michaels and Jake has taken her aside and offered to take her home which she excepts gratefully leaning on Jake!
