In the ninth episode of the season, Charles meets Liliana, a clear who works at Gaffney at a bar as a singer. Mesmerized by her singing, he introduces himself to her without realizing that they work at the same place. After meeting Liliana at the hospital, Charles asks her out and she agrees. In the tenth episode of the show, Liliana brings the psychiatrist to her home and cooks for him, which indicates that their relationship is gradually getting stronger. But will Liliana become just another chapter of his love life, which includes five or more other “chapters” already? Not necessarily.
Charles meets Liliana when the former gets immersed in loneliness. After suffering from depression and the end of several relationships, Charles fails to have a steady life. Although none of these concerns affect his efficiency as a doctor, his personal life has always been a concern. After Liliana’s introduction, the psychiatrist has become a steady ship. He overcomes solitude and starts to cherish the beauty of companionship. Since their relationship is getting stronger day by day without any alarming threats or challenges, there is no reason to believe that they will not end up together.
The only concern Charles has, regarding his togetherness with Liliana, is about the power dynamics that exist between the chief of the psychiatry department and a cleaner working at the establishment. Since Liliana makes sure that the presence of their power dynamics hasn’t affected her, Charles may not need to have an ethical dilemma anymore. Liliana must have already known that Charles is the last person at the hospital to misuse his authority.
Although Charles’ relationships haven’t been lasting long, it can’t be said that the psychiatrist is to blame. His togetherness with Caroline ends when his mother disapproves of the same. Although he remarries her, death steals her away from the psychiatrist. It is unlikely that such threats will be present in his togetherness with Liliana, which may help them sustain a relationship for a long period. Considering these possibilities, we believe that Charles and Liliana may end up together.
