Question: What happened to the woman talking about Sam's girlfriend's infection? When Dad arrives, she is not shown or in helicopter scenes.
Answer: If you mean Sheila McCarthy, she is on the helicopter. They show her smiling at the man who saved and carried the large Bible.
Question: What is Jason holding when the helicopter arrives? A child? From where?
Answer: The French lady's child, who was trapped in the cab when they were all heading to the library. Emmy Rossum was translating for her when the cop was trying to get her out. Hope that answers your question.
Answer: The woman was the librarian and library receptionist. She lives to die another day. She gets rescued with the other library survivors. The actress just isn't Jake Gyllenhaal or Dennis Quaid. So the focus in the end is not on her, but rather on the big-name stars.
