The analysis

If everyone who is afraid of making mistakes didn't try, where would we be today?

- "is it possible then?" Carina asked.

-"Yes, it is possible, the human brain is a machine that cannot be anticipated or understood completely. So it's possible, that she dreams about you. That she knows she loves you, but when she's awake... Her brain doesn't make that connection."

- "but I thought that unlocking the memory of her attack would bring her back to me"

-"Listen Carina, I'm sorry, you and I went to the same school... You know how it works".

- "and what are you going to tell her? Because if she's aware of dreaming about me..."

-"I don't think they're dreams" said Amelia.

- "how so?"

-"I think, ... I think she is reliving your memories... The part of her brain that isn't used when she's awake, is firing on all cylinders when she's asleep."

- "So she... She remembers me?"

- "unconsciously yes"

Carina was ecstatic inside. Maya had not forgotten her, she was just blocking her consciousness. Well, that didn't solve the problem, but it was something.

- "and how are you holding up?"

- "my heart is better and otherwise, she... She hits on me, she's really... Very personable..."

- "but it's great!"

-"Yes, but I can't do anything... I can't go along with her".

- "why?"

-"I am the head of the obstetrics department... She is a patient of the hospital".

- "but she's your fiancée"

- "my very hip protocol fiancée... If I succumb, in her mind, we are not together, so what will she think of me? That I don't respect the rules that exist... That I have no willpower? That I'm an easy girl?"

-"Carina ... You are too much in your head..."

-"And I don't want our first time to be here..."

-"But it won't be your first time..."

- "for her yes... I want her in our bed... In our home."

- "ooohh Carina... Excuse me, you're too romantic and it's too beautiful and here I am contradicting you for nothing. I'm sorry."

- "it's not a big deal. But it's really important to me. Yes I want her and yes it's hard to resist her all the time like this... But she is the love of my life and I want her to fall in love with me again, not to fuck here and then move on."

-"I understand. Excuse me I can be insensitive sometimes... But hey... She dreams about you, that's great..."

- "Travis told me she was having dreams... Really Hot, I... I'd love to see that."

On her way out of Amelia's office, Carina had run into Maya, who had an appointment with the neurosurgeon for the results of her observation last night.

- "Maya, how are you?"

- "much better now that I've met you"

- "you have an appointment with Dr. Shepherd?"
