G.W. Waiting Room Television (C.J. Surgery Update Broadcast)

Screen flickers in the sterile G.W. waiting room, C.J.'s voiceover slicing through heavy silence as she broadcasts Josh's collapsed lung and ruptured pulmonary artery repairs, no word for six to eight hours. Toby tenses, Donna fractures, Abbey steadies—eyes rivet to the relentless feed while earlier, Dixie Pig diner's muted set leaks reporter's bulletin on the emergency surgery and looming press conference, catapulting private torment into public glare under flickering neon.
