Deep Sleep: Crafty ended up in a coma after "The Foreshadow Game." He thankfully manages to wake up after four months, but not before having an emotional conversation with Sasha while he's still unconscious.He doesn't turn up in person, which Crafty and Nurse are thankful for only because they don't have to deal with his Pokémon textbox speech. Crossover: Darksilvania made a sketch for Crafty to use for this episode's art piece, the first collab piece developed onscreen.And later after he wakes up, he makes up with Nurse and continues bettering himself thereafter throughout Season 3. While he remains silent for the most part, Crafty's softened disposition throughout the scene implies that Sasha's getting through to him. For good measure, she even acknowledges the growth Crafty achieved after she left him, hoping that, whether he takes her back or not, he'll at least realize how good he has it and continue improving. She regrets her choice and stresses how much she wishes to atone for it. He was starting to engage in self-destructive behaviors throughout their relationship, and due to a lack of experience with these conditions, she feared that she was enabling them, so she opted to run away.
