At the table, Terry told Georgie and Albert, what had happened.


- My poor Terry said Georgie, I understand your sudden urge to see Candy.


- It's a difficult situation said Albert, she lost her leg and now she wants to force you to marry her...


- She's playing on his guilt said Georgie and that's not fair! She knows Terry is with Candy.


- But she saved his life said Albert.


- Mr. Albert said Candy, you're not suggesting that Terry should marry Susanna?


- She lost her leg said Albert.


- But that doesn't give her the right to force Terry to marry her said Georgie, he doesn't love her. He loves Candy to sacrifice their love won't do anybody any good, instead of having one person unhappy, we'll have three.


"Four said Candy to herself"


- You're right Georgie said Albert, I'm sorry. It was just a suggestion.


- What about the premiere? Ask Georgie to Terry.


- I asked for a few days off, I have to go back for the general rehearsal.


- We'll be able to make the trip together said Candy.


Candy and Albert went to the living room and Georgie stayed behind with Terry for a while.


- What was that all about with Albert? Asked Terry.


- Terry...


- He fell in love with my wife too?


- He knows that she loves only you


- But he hoped I marry Susanna so that Candy would become free...


- That's because he doesn't know you're married and having a baby...by the way, congratulations... Terry, Candy refused to dance with a Prince because of you. You're the only man she sees. You don't have to worry.


- But she can be influenced by that kind of thinking


- If you weren't married, Candy would have probably have sacrificed herself so you could be with Susanna. That's how generous she is. But you're united for life, she wouldn't give you up for all the money in the world.


- Hey you two, are you coming? Georgie, Laurent is here! Said Candy.


They spend the night talking and discussing the Susanna matter. Terry was happy to have come to see his wife and to learn that he was going to be a father gave him courage to confront Susanna and her mother. He was not going to be intimidated. He had a wife and a baby on the way, they were his priority. How to spend the night posed a little moral dilemma. Candy and Terry were married, but Albert didn't know that. Terry had no intention of spending the night in the living room, he needed Candy, she was the purpose of his visit.
