Season 4 Episode 12
"Inside her heart"
Rick froze as he saw Lily looking at him. After a few seconds, he got up from his chair and ran to Lily's side. "Oh, Lily... I can't believe this." He said, with tears in his eyes. Her smile was the best thing he could get at that moment. "Miracles do happen!" He said, running his hand through her face.
After Rick got into the room, Grace and Eli left the hospital. Grace asked Eli to drop her in a restaurant not so far from the hospital. Eli, already knowing who she was going to meet, asked, "So, you're meeting Dimitri again. You've seen each other almost everyday on the past two weeks." Grace, still overjoyed from her Mom's recovery, said, "Yes! Isn't it great! My life is finally good." Eli asked, "In the hospital, you said you had a paper due tomorrow." Grace, caught in her lie, stopped smiling. "I couldn't tell the truth." Eli shaked his head. "This is only going to get worse, especially when your Dad finds out." Grace didn't understand what Eli meant. "Why? Why would he be angrier than my Mom?" She asked. "It's not really that. It's because of the custody thing?" But what Eli didn't know is that Grace hadn't heard about the custody fight over her and Zoe yet. "What?" She asked, trying to figure things out. Eli realized what he had done, but now it was too late. "Your Dad is asking for full custody of you and Zoe. He believes your Mom and my Dad are not able to raise you two properly, after what has happened." Grace can barely speak. "He wouldn't do this." She looked at Eli, in a last hope. Eli just kept looking ahead, as he drove by the restaurant where Grace was going to meet Dimitri. "I'm sorry." That's all he could say.
Soliloquy Grace is showing in her eyes all the pain she's feeling inside. "Why my Dad would do that? Why does he have to keep disappointing me?"
Meanwhile, at Karen's house, she was still trying to fix things up with Jessie, who hadn't left her room since the talk with her mom. "Jessie!" Karen said as she knocked on the door. "Jessie, please! I'm sorry honey, I didn't give you a chance to say anything. Open the door!" But it was useless. After over two hours trying to get Jessie to open the door, Karen decided to use the spare keys she had for all the house's doors. "Jessie, I didn't want to do that, but I'm getting the spare keys!" She said, in a last attempt to make Jessie come and talk to her. Again, it was useless. Karen went and got the key, but when she opened the door, she was really surprised to see an empty room and an open window. Jessie had run away.
"Grace, calm down. I'm sure your Dad will see he's making a mistake." Dimitri was trying to make Grace feel better. She was trying hard to fight back tears. "How could he do something like that? In the moment our Mom needs us the most! And poor Rick, if my Mom's problem wasn't enough, he still has to deal with that." Dimitri didn't want to say, but when he first saw Jake at Grace's school, he knew he wasn't all nice. "Grace," He said to her, "Don't worry. Whatever happens, I'll be there for you." Grace loved hearing that, but she knew that in reality he wouldn't be able to be there for her. "I'm not sure. Eli said that if my Dad finds out about us, it might help him get the custody." She pauses and reflects a little. "And if you stop to think about it, he's right." Dimitri just sighed. What could he say? It was true. What is it possible that one day they would be able to love each other freely?
While Karen tried to call all if Jessie's friends - she first called Katie, but she Jessie was not so stupid to go to the first place she might be found - Jessie was walking through the same park where Henry spotted her with Katie the other day. She was trying to figure out what to do now that it wasn't a secret anymore. How would the rest of the family react? Were they going to try to keep she and Katie apart? What was she supposed to do from now on? She realized she need to call Katie right now and began to search for a phone.
Soliloquy Jessie is trying to explain better how she was feeling. "I was afraid before. I'm afraid now."
Now at Rick was at the hospital with Lily, he couldn't imagine all the problems that were waiting for him just around the corner. But now he only thing he could care about was that Lily was coming back. "Lil... this is great. Now, I'm sure everything is going to be OK, because you're back." He said to a smiling Lily. They stayed in silence for a few seconds, when suddenly a tear rolled down her face. "What? What is it, Lil?" Rick asked, worried. She smiled and gathered all her strength, "Thank you." Rick smiled and said, "I have to thank you. For not giving up." He then kissed her and their tears were all mixed. She raised her hand and ran it through Rick's hair, "Because of you."
