    Storyline

    Edit
    • Goofs
      Nancy is shown experiencing word-finding difficulty when talking to Shane, implicitly due to brain damage from being shot in the head. This is a common symptom of brain injury; however the way it is depicted is not accurate. Nancy is able to describe the word that she is looking for to express herself. When patients experience word-finding difficulty, they are unable to come up with other words to describe the word they are looking for and are unable to continue with their sentence at all.

      Nancy Botwin: Sweetie, say thank you to the clown. He's the one that made you all the balloon animals.

      Stevie: Thank you, Mr. Clown.

      Nancy Botwin: Good boy. See you later.
