She gets angry at herself because she cant do what she loves. She gets up anyway and throws the ball outside her house so Sherlock and catch it.

Jessica has a checkup and when they get home her mum makes a call and she gets booked for another appt at 10 the next morning. The next morning they go to the reception desk and Jessica tries not to think about her future. They wait in the the waiting room for an eternity and Chloe the receptionist deals with grumpy Mr. Benson. He goes into his room in a wheelchair with a fake leg in his lap looking even more grumpy.

It was dark outside but the streetlights glowed through the curtains to put the spotlight on Sherlock. He cocks his head up because Jessica wants to go for a run with him even though she cant she wants to try. He is confused when when Jessica tries to run they go left instead of right. She hears her name being called and when she looks she sees a mermaid fountain just like in her dream. Its her friend Rosa and she tells Jessica that she stuck the article that was written about her on her bedroom wall.
The first day Jessica had her running leg she could not definitely run her usual route she does in her mornings before she lost her leg. She feels like they should both be regular legs. When she gets the hang of it she runs with Fiona and she has sessions with her coach Kyro. The next early morning she has the running dream she's been having for months. She glides across the streets past the family houses to her house. When she gains her strength her and Sherlock run there usual route every morning.
