Bathroom Breakout: Wendy escapes from the hospital by going into a bathroom, opening the window, and then hiding under the sink so the nurse will think she jumped. Once the bathroom is unguarded, she escapes through a door.

Batman Gambit: To escape the hospital, Wendy outwits the nurse by making it look like she escaped through the window by opening it and then hiding in the sink. Once the nurse leaves, she picks up her things. When a clerk at Paramount stonewalls her, Wendy asks him if he knows her name. Once he said no, she drops her script and promptly leaves.
