A recipe for Sunday Morning Sticky Rolls precedes this chapter.

In court, Marin begins to question Charlotte, asking her questions about Willow and the ultrasound she had where Piper discovered all of Willow’s fractures.

Part 4, Chapter 46 Summary: “Charlotte”

This chapter jumps back in time to Charlotte’s second ultrasound. Piper told Charlotte what she saw and then recommended calling in a high-risk obstetrician. Piper drove Charlotte home and then told Sean what she saw on the ultrasound.

The next day, Charlotte underwent a litany of tests and met with a geneticist. When she asked how no one diagnosed Willow sooner, she was told that there was no reason to assume Willow would have OI since neither Sean nor she was a genetic carrier of OI. Charlotte and Sean discussed aborting the child but agreed it was not an option. They promised each other they would get through the pregnancy together.

In the courtroom, Marin asks about Willow’s traumatic birth. Charlotte discloses that she asked Piper whether or not to get a DNR because Piper was her friend, not her physician.

Part 4, Chapter 47 Summary: “Piper”

This chapter jumps back in time to Willow’s birth. Piper visited Charlotte and Willow in the hospital. Charlotte told Piper that the doctor had suggested a DNR, something Piper found unnecessary.
