It's a nice way to spend the rest of the night, cuddling and watching gentle TV while snacking on hospital vending machine fare. It's surprisingly normal for them, like they could be on the couch in Ted's apartment and be doing the same thing. And that's good...it will help Ted recover to have things be as normal as possible, so that the memory of what happened to him has a chance to fade.
In the morning Joan helps Ted into the clothes Beard brought for him. When Keeley comes Joan asks her if she can stay with Ted for a little while so Joan can go home and freshen up. Keeley gives an enthusiastic yes, absolutely insisting that Joan take as much time as she needs.
She gives Ted a kiss and tells him she'll be back in a little bit, then leaves the hospital. It feels weird to step out into the sun and into London, where life is going on as if nothing happened. She flags down a cab and takes it to 221B. She wants to convey Ted's thanks to Sherlock, but the detective isn't home. Maybe he's still at the station questioning Turner Chapman.
She takes a shower and changes her clothes, and feels a hundred times better, as if the trauma of the day before had washed away with the hot water. She got another cab, heading back to the hospital, already missing Ted and eager to get back to him.
