As soon as he realizes who Libby is, she disappears. Then a real nurse comes in, and Michael is informed he is "lucky to be alive." He's told that he was found in a wrecked car with no ID, but with a note to "Walt" pinned to his chest. They still don't know his name, and he doesn't tell them.

Michael's injuries are so minor that he leaves the hospital without even the neck brace he had on for, presumably, whiplash. He goes to visit his mom, but she won't let him past the doorstep, and she says Walt does not want to see Michael.

She is angry because she thought Michael and Walt were dead at the bottom of the ocean -- but when they turned up "fine and dandy," Michael gave her no explanations. Nothing about where they were, or what had happened to them during the "over two months" they had vanished.

All she knows is: Now the two of them cannot go by their real names, Walt is miserable, and Grandma has to deal with his nightmares over whatever awful things Michael said to him. And she is righteously ticked off at her son about all of this. As the saying goes: When Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

Michael asks her to tell Walt that he loves him. He leaves, catching a glimpse of Walt in an upstairs window as he goes. Walt does not smile or wave, and as he disappears behind the curtain, Michael walks away, looking even more agonized.

He pawns Jin's Rolex watch in exchange for a loaded gun. As he starts to shoot himself in an alley, Tom -- aka Mr. Friendly from the Others -- suddenly appears and interrupts him.
