Moritz hides his identity and makes an appointment with Jessy. When Jessy realizes how critical her father's condition is, she asks the nurse Finnegan if an appointment is appropriate at this time. Finnegan says yes.

The doubting Jessy still doesn't want to open the front door for Bobby and pretends to be absent. When Bobby slides a poem under the front door, Jessy opens the door. You and Bobby spend a romantic evening together and then the night.

Jessy finds out the next morning that her lover is Bobby Moritz. He quit his job in the meantime, but she never wants to see him again and goes to the hospital again.
