Ryan discovered Betsy unconscious at home and quickly called an ambulance, with the teenager taken to hospital for an MRI scan and further tests.
Doctors confirmed Betsy had suffered a stroke and, after she started slurring her words, she admitted to Lisa that she was frightened. While Dylan spent some time alone with her, Betsy then suffered a second stroke, prompting doctors to carry out further investigations.
The doctor later explained there had been a strain on an artery in Betsy’s neck and asked whether anyone had applied pressure to it. Thinking back, Betsy admitted Dylan had lightly choked her during consensual sex, stressing he had no idea it could be dangerous and saying she believed ‘everyone did it.’
Lisa was left horrified as she was told the act had caused a blood clot to form. Despite Betsy insisting Dylan never meant to hurt her, Lisa held him responsible. When Dylan returned to the hospital, Lisa confronted him over what had happened, leaving the teenager devastated.
