Elizabeth Powell, an "exotic dancer" who's been hospitalized for exhaustion and overwork, is sleeping in her hospital bed when a loudly-ticking clock wakes her. She reaches for a glass of water on her nightstand, only to accidentally break it. Immediately following the crashing glass, the sound of footsteps echoes from the hallway. Liz gets out of bed and follows them, spotting a nurse disappearing into an elevator. She runs after the nurse and gets out on the lower floors of the hospital, where a pair of swinging doors labeled with [[TitleDrop the number twenty-two]] and the word "MORGUE" lie. As Liz stares in horror, the nurse emerges and, with a [[PsychoticSmirk creepy grin]], tells her "Room for one more, honey." Liz screams in fear and rushes back into the elevator.

Added DiffLines:

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Liz is in pretty good spirits at the airport, until the agent tells her where to go.
-->'''Agent:''' Flight 22 is loading now.


Added DiffLines:

* LateToTheRealization: The doctor heard Liz describe the dream. After Liz suffers another panic fit that night, he suddenly recalls how she knew the exact room number for the morgue. Patients aren't allowed down there, so he has no idea how she would know it.


Added DiffLines:

* ScreamingWoman: Liz, both in the dream and at the airport after hearing the ArcWords. The ending proves she was right to be terrified and to run away.
* ThereAreNoCoincidences: Liz is certain it's not a dream because she's had it six nights in a row and no details ever change.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: After being told the flight's number, Liz is a bundle of nerves, feeling a constant sense of dread while making her way to the plane. The second a familiar face says a familiar line, she runs away screaming.
* TheUnSmile: While discussing her dream, Liz comments on the usualness of the supposed nurse's smile.
