Summary
He had watched Harv corrupt the kid. In the grand scheme of things, it hadn’t taken very long, and that’s what had concerned him the most.
But with Harv taking the reins, there hadn’t been much Mack could do about it except just be there for the kid.
After finding Lightning in Radiator Springs, Mack reflects on how much things had changed since he first met the kid—and who was responsible for it all.
Or, somewhat of an extended/missing scene set after Mack and the press arrive in Radiator Springs.

Summary
When he read the caller ID at two thirty-one that morning, the stab in his chest told him this would be no social call.
"Doc." The kid's voice was wound tight with worry. In the background raged garbled chaos and what sounded for all the world to Doc like the bark of a baby seal. "I-I need you."
Lightning and Sally’s toddler battles with an awful bout of croup, an experience that has Lightning unconsciously shifting his parenting style—and not necessarily in a good way. As always, it takes the wisdom of his mentor to set the racer straight.

Summary
The next moment had Doc on his feet, phone still pressed to his cheek. “How’s Sally? Is she okay?”
“She’s… She’s not moving, Doc… Doc, she’s not…” A choked sob crackled through the speaker. “Doc, I’m gonna lose her!”
“You’re not gonna lose her, kid. An ambulance is on its way. Now, I need you to breathe, okay?” The ragged breaths that followed were more than a little concerning, but at least Lightning wasn’t hyperventilating anymore. “That’s it. Just like that. All right, is she breathing?”
A rainy night drive takes a turn for the worst when Lightning and Sally are caught in a car crash. Unable to reach Lightning before the ambulance does, Doc has no choice but sit and talk his protege through the pain, keeping the kid awake until help arrives. Afterwards, Lightning has to come to terms with the crash and his new inability to get back behind the wheel.
