Monique was coming out of the gym just to head down the subway. She saw a little boy looking lost and helpless, she took the courtesy and directed the kid to where he was heading. Needless to say, it made Monique felt better. She then heads on over to the cafe where Raymond will be having lunch with her. At the luncheon, a couple sitting beside them was talking out loud about tonight's big match. Raymond couldn't bear to eavesdrop and lost attention of what Monique has to say. Obviously Monique was upset and left while her dessert is half done.
She calls out Rachel and they went to the mall to pick up some clothes for Rachel's photo shoot. Rachel bumps onto her photographer who then offers the girls a ride home. Rachel walks into the bathroom and accidentally knocked her head on the toilet sink as she was trying to squart and pick up something she dropped. With a slight bruise, she wasn't concern about what would happen but Monique insisted she goes over to the hospital. Eric took a good look at her and prescribed some pills along with proper cream and bandaging to stop the swelling.
Eric looked into Rachel's eyes while he applies the cream. It was as sparkling and as beautiful as the grape juice you would normally see on the tall glass. She smiled at him and for a moment there, Eric dreamt that he was kissing her lips... "Eric? R U OK?" says Rachel. He reclaim conciousness and saw Rachel & Monique staring at him in questionable look. Eric is definitely dying to tell her his feelings. Gilbert came in with Carol and then came Raymond. Great friends will rush to one another's aid when they hear of such a thing. "It's only a small matter, guys..." Rachel always tries to avoid a hassle. Rachel begins to feel drowsy and weak after taking a few steps out of the place. Being concern, Eric offers to send her back. It might be the side effect of the hard knocks along with the injection and medication.
Eric sent Rachel and Monique home while Raymond got back to his appartment without doing something that he should have done. Monique, still being upset at him, went up after seeing that Rachel has taken her nap, to confront him. Just as they were switching channels in their arguement, the TV fused and smoke came out of the set without a display... Raymond was in shock and fled over to another place to watch the ever so great Manchester United's match. Monique slammed the door at Raymond right before she left.
At The Flow, Carol and Zeta comforted Monique. Carol had to leave soon as Gilbert was gonna pick her up. Monique had a few drinks and left for home after that. Back at Rachel's place, Eric was laying by the side of the bed. Making sure that Rachel sleeps soundly and properly. He even placed the blanket proper for her. Monique came home and drags Eric out. "What are you still doing here? She's only got a headache, not a fever or anything serious." Eric then sat down to pour out his feelings. Monique knew before hand that Eric has been fond of her. She just couldn't do anything to intervene and advised Eric to just hold on as Rachel is seeing someone at the moment. His heart sank as fast as Titanic went into the waters. He took up his pride and courage and walked off after that.
The next morning, Rachel woke up and was startled to see that she was properly tucked into bed. Monique told her that she had someone to sit her the entire night. Carol and Gilbert were taking their lunch break outside at one of the nearby malls with Raymond and he was rather obsessed with getting another TV. So he did! This time, even much more better than the previous one and comes along with a great set of speakers/hi-fi. Monique came up to clean Ray's apartment. She arrived to see the movers taking it all in and assembling them. Well, she just went speechless and was about to walk off before Ray came in just to tell her that he's sorry. After the installers left, he turn on the TV to show some nice memories of them on their previous trips. The ones video recorded. Well, she gave in and just before anything, he switched over an saw the replay of last night's match. And there it is! MEN and their BIG TOYS... Never learn do they? Monique walked out the door again and just before she does, she pulls the plug and smiles at Raymond then slams the door again.
Rachel went over to see Eric but Eric was doing his rounds at the wards. She doesn't mind to wait and thus sat there looking around his room. She realized some fragments of photos and took them out of his table organizer. She saw all her photos and some other ones with him in them. She then look across the table to find the handkerchief he had used to wipe for her last night while she was drousy and asleep. She only had a vain image of someone nursing her but had no idea who it was. Eric came in and saw Rachel holding on the handkerchief. "I could explain..." then paused by Rachel; "Explain no more... thanks for everything..." Rachel walked over and place her hand on his shoulder to give him a gentle pat. "But..." interupted by Rachel's phone... then she pardon herself and went off as she was called off.
