Hearing the discussion, the doctor asks Joe if there is anyone she can call, which Joe tells him that there isn't anyone for her to call, explaining that she will be at Joe's room for observation for a while while Mr. Mittens can go for his next appointment, telling Joe to get some rest so that he would feel better. As the doctor, her fellow worker, and the cat lady leave, Mr. Mittens and Joe manage to escape the hospital without getting seen by the doctor. Although the same doctor makes no further appearances after that, Joe manages to return to his own body throughout the events of the film while 22 manages to adapt her new life on Earth with an Earth Pass she recently obtained.
