The Patient has a history of mental health issues and has been in and out of facilities. Currently they are in a stint as an inpatient. Whilst outside, they have seen the car parked, and confusedly think they recognise the person inside (Dan). They hit on the bumper before being escorted back to the facility. It requires a tremendous performance as we see this moment clearly from inside the car. It's the shift for the main protagonist so carries a lot of weight.
