Once Crow was discharged from the hospital a few days after the surgery, Mallory dropped both him and Ethan off at Charlie's apartment. Charlie and Basil had gone over to Crow's to retrieve a few of his things, along with River. River was elated when Crow walked through the front door. He stood on his hind legs and pawed at Crow's chest, crying excessively. He was intrigued by the bandages on his right arm, and spent ample time investigating them.
Ethan was going to stay with them for a few days before he went back to his parents. He confided in Charlie that he needed some more time to process what had happened to him before he was ready to return home. Basil left shortly after they arrived. He had stayed with Charlie the entire time, and Crow tried to slip him a couple hundred pounds for his trouble. Basil refused the money, and took a hug as payment instead.
