The Lily-Garret History

This was a short-lived relationship that has had lingering effects.  When the series started Garret was completely oblivious to the fact that Lily was practically drooling all over him and doing everything in her power to get noticed by Garret.  Jordan has to point it out to him in the Pilot, that Lily’s got a crush on him. 

Over the next few episodes Garrets starts to notice how Lily acts around her and realizes that Jordan was right.  He’s actually attracted to Lily but he won’t act on it because he thinks it would be wrong since he is her boss.  In Sight Unseen after a talk with Dr. Stiles (the shrink) he finally comes to terms with his and Lily’s situation and asks her out on a date.

Things seem to be going well, when Maggie starts making appearances.  In Blue Christmas Garret plans to have Christmas dinner with Lily, but ends up going to Maggie’s (as a result of Lily canceling their plans when she finds out that he was skipping dinner with his daughter instead).  In Acts of Mercy Garret hooks up with his ex-wife.  Lily realizes that there’s something going on between Garret and Maggie and tells him to figure things out then if it’s she he wants to come back to her.  Garret ends up sticking with his ex-wife.

Garret falls into old patterns and by the beginning of the second season his ex-wife is out of the picture again.  Lily comes back to work in the morgue but she tells Garret there won’t be anything more between them.  They’re just friends.  Garret agrees, but there is still some tension between the two through out season two.

There’s a tension between the two and in Pandora’s Trunk Part 2.  Lily accuses Garret of being a wimp and brings up their past relationship—they hash it out.  Garret ends up kissing Lily and Rene walks in on them (Garret at this point kind of has a relationship with Rene).  After the incident Garret and Lily clear the air and agree once and for all that they’re just friends.
