Felix deliberately waited until he saw Patrick leave before he let himself back inside Sabrina's room. The second he saw Patrick, he knew that Sabrina wouldn't be downstairs anytime soon. Either the two of them would end up going at it like bunnies - again - the way they did last summer OR Sabrina would end up crushed. When he saw Patrick's face as he left the hotel, Felix knew that the latter had happened.
When he found Sabrina crying her eyes out on the bathroom floor, Felix was crushed for her. Clearly whatever went down between her and Patrick had been BAD. So, he held his best friend and let her cry, fittings and wedding plans be damned.
Robin waited for Patrick to return. It had taken all of her acting abilility to pretend everything was fine in front of Emma, but now that Emma had gone to school, she let her emotions out. It wasn't like Patrick to be out all night with nary a word to her about his whereabouts. The fact that he hadn't been called into the hospital combined with his vagueness about where he was going when he told her she needed to take care of Emma had told her everything she needed to know – even though she didn't want to admit it to herself.
When Patrick walked through the front door, Robin knew where he had been all night and with whom. He didn't notice her sitting by the fireplace right away, so she was able to observe him as he put his wallet and keys on the end table with a distinct thud that let her know he was pissed off. Her guess was that whatever had happened last night with Sabrina (because where else would he have been?) hadn't ended well. She almost felt sorry for him, almost, until her anger at being ignored surged to the forefront.
She forced herself to look nonchalant and then said, "So, you're night with Sabrina didn't go well?"
At her comment, Patrick, who had been on the way to the kitchen, halted. Clearly, he'd been surprised at Robin's astuteness in figuring out where he had been, but when he looked at her as he said, "No, it didn't," Robin saw no guilt in his eyes. Patrick had betrayed her; but, she realized that this time there would be no remorse or pleas for her forgiveness.
Patrick was still reeling over his conversation with Sabrina when he returned home. He hadn't expected her to dismiss him like that and it had been more painful than he was prepared to admit. Sabrina was everything he remembered and more and he missed her. The thought of her moving on with her life, without him in it was paralyzing. Even though he knew that when he chose Robin and resumed his life as "normal", he was setting her free, he never allowed himself to think about what it really meant.
Patrick put his keys and wallet on the table and moved toward the kitchen to get some coffee so that he could continue to think things through before going to work, when he was stopped by Robin's comment. He should have known she would figure it out considering he was out all night and hadn't been called into the hospital. When he'd cheated on her with Lisa, he'd felt awful and begged Robin to forgive him because he couldn't live without her. This time, however, he didn't feel bad about what he'd done and he knew that he wouldn't be begging her for anything, so he simply said, "No, it didn't."
"I would say I'm sorry, Patrick, but I'm really not."
"I don't expect you to be."
"How could you do this to me? To us?"
At that, Patrick scoffed. "This isn't about you, Robin, or about 'us'. As far as I'm concerned, there hasn't been an 'us' since you refused to come home and help me through Gabriel's crisis. This was about me and Sabrina."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"We had some things to resolve in our relationship. We went through a lot together while you were gone and, frankly, it was bound to happen."
"So, I'm supposed to be OK with this because it was fate?"
"Honestly, Robin, you can be OK with it or not. I really don't care. You made the choice to leave to save Jason even though I wasn't OK with it. I had to live with your decision, so you will just have to live with mine."
"And if I can't?"
"Then, that's your decision. Either you want this marriage or you don't, but I'm not going to grovel to save it this time. There are enough mistake and blame to go around." Patrick looked at his watch and then said, "I have surgery. I have to change and get to the hospital. We'll have to finish this later."
Before Patrick could leave the room, Robin added, "Maybe, Patrick, we both need to think about whether or not we want this marriage because one person wanting it can't save it."
