Season 4 Episode 9
"Lonely Eyes"
"This is the most beautiful thing I've ever read!" Grace exclaims, after she finishes reading what Dimitri has showed her. It's the manuscripts of his new book. "This poem I made for you," He says pointing a poem called 'Lonely Eyes'. Grace blushes. "Oh," she says shyly, "Thank you."
Soliloquy Grace is grining hugely. "I never thought someone would ever do something like that for me. I never thought loving and being loved could be so great." She smiles again.
"It's nothing," Dimitri goes on, "I just thought you deserved it, you gave me so much support." He looks at her as she reads the poem again and again. His eyes are filled with amazement. He runs his hands through her hair.
Soliloquy Dimitri appears and says, "I can't understand why people don't see how wonderful she is."
"So, when is your book going to be published?" Grace asks. "They haven't set up a date yet, but my editor said less than 4 months." Dimitri answers. He makes a pause. Looks like he's thinking about something we wants to say. "I would like to dedicate the book to you." Grace is stunned to hear that. "You don't have to. Just the poem is more than enough." She adds quickly, "I don't want you to put my name on the book." Dimitri is a little surprised with her strong reaction. "OK, if that's what you want," he says, "But you know we can't go on like this forever." Grace gets defensive. "I just don't think it's the right moment yet." She gets up. "Let's eat something? I'm really hungry," She says, as she goes to the kitchen. Dimitri just sighs, "Is there ever gonna be a right moment?"
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rick has just entered Lily's room. He's looking around. The room is dark, the only noises you can hear come from the equipment to which Lily is connected to. Despite her condition, she looks as beautiful as ever. Rick comes close and stares at her for a while.
Soliloquy Rick comes to share what he feels at this moment. "I'm less than nothing without her."
"Lily," Rick begins, holding her hand. "You're not going to believe this, but I saw your Dad," He says. He smiles a little, "I admit that when you told you used to talk to him, and he gave you advice, I thought you were working too much and getting a little crazy," He pauses, and gets sadly serious as he realizes Lily hasn't moved. "But your Dad came and told me to talk to you. The doctor told me you can't hear anything, but I think your Dad knows you better." He tenderly caresses her face. "I'm going to go straight to the point now, I'm just boring you." He pauses, takes a breath and goes on, "Lily, you have to get better. You have no idea what the doctor said to me. He wants to me to give up on our baby so you could have more chances! You know I can't do that, but you know I can't lose you, so for one moment I thought... I don't wanna admit it, but I considered following the doctor's advice. You see, I'm getting insane without you."
Not a move from her. Rick is almost crying. "Besides, and I didn't want bring this subject up, but Jake wants to get full custody of Grace and Zoe. And Lily, if you are not better until the day of the audience.... his chances could be pretty big. And I know you're not going to let this happen, are you?" He asks, although he knows he'll get no answer. He looks and admires her for another moments. "I guess that's all I wanted to say. Ah," He remembers, and with a smile adds, "I love you." He kisses her forehead, and starts to leave. He opens the door, and then turns around to take another look at her. He sighs and then finally leaves.
However, Rick fails to see Phil standing in the other side of the room through the whole "conversation". Phil had listened to everything, and as Rick left, he just nodded and said, "Well done, my son."
