Patty adamantly refused to be locked up again and grabbed the steering wheel, causing the car to crash.

Matt regained consciousness after the accident and found that Patty had fled. He made his way back to Genoa City and checked back into the motel, where he struggled with whether to warn people that Patty had escaped or to return to his dark side.
