Edward tells her that he likes her very much but feels that an intimate relationship with Jason would be a mistake.  She assumes it's because she's black, but Edward tells her that's not the reason.

Stone tells him that Alan is a great guy.

Emily is freaked out at all the arguing. Monica tries to explain to her.

7/13 The Wards and the Qs meet for damage control over the newspaper headline. Edward is peeved as Ned is out of town on Idle Rich promotion. AJ comes clean with Katherine’s initial point in the right direction on the grant but the Qs do not know how she could be involved. AJ offers to resign. Keisha apologizes to the board and to AJ for not catching it. Justus also steps up and takes responsibility for not checking the figures and flagging it himself as he also had the opportunity to stop this. Justus says if anyone is going to be a scapegoat that it should be him. Edward says everyone can’t resign, they will look like idiots. Justus suggests they make a frank admission and take responsibility for the mistake. Edward wants to call a press conference tomorrow.

7/21 Lucy pops into the Quartermaine mansion to forgive them all for anything they have done to her, Alan, Edward, and AJ for staring at her legs throughout board meetings (LOL!).

8/4 Brenda and Miguel are giggling together at the AIDS Walk in the park. After seeing Brenda and Miguel together, he is sure they are together now and he is obviously not happy about it. Robin questions Brenda about her relationship with Miguel. Felicia wants Mac to make an effort to be friendly with Stone, but Mac blames Robin delaying Yale on him. Felicia thinks Jason could maybe get through to Robin about the value of a great education.

Keisha and Jason are making out in the park at the Aids Walk. Felicia interrupts them and teases them that it is not a kissing-thon. Felicia tells Jason that Robin has delayed her admission to Yale and she suggests that maybe someone Robin trusts can get through to her. Jason says he would probably make the same decision, but Felicia says if he talks to Robin that it could save her an ugly scene with Mac about the topic.

Jason approaches Robin and says he heard she is delaying going to Yale. She is irritated that Mac has blabbed. He says no, it was Felicia. She says if she goes to Yale and Stone doesn’t make it till Spring that she will never forgive herself. He understands where she is coming from, she asks if he could talk to Mac for her. He says that message would be best heard coming from her. On their way out, Jason pulls Keisha aside to make out some more. Stone tells them they will have to cool off in the pool if they don’t cut it out. Stone sees the look on Robin’s face and figures it was Mac. Jason suggests that they all come over to swim in the Q pool.

Two bigots talk about the AIDS people taking over the park and one woman says she wishes that they would get the dying over with already as they deserve getting AIDS. AJ, Jason, Keisha, and Robin listen in on the exchange. Stone calmly asks the woman what he did to deserve AIDS? She is quiet for a moment and then says its god’s punishment for perverted behavior. Stone says that he was taught that God loved him, and how did the children who got AIDS prevert God’s love? He asks if she knows anyone who has AIDS and when she says no, he tells her that she has no business making judgements as she doesn’t know what she is talking about. AJ listens in, perhaps learning something about prejudice and ignorance. Jason comments that AJ is looking a little pale. AJ admits that everytime he thinks he has Stone figured out, that he surprises him.

8/7 AJ goes home, irate about the bigotry he experienced at the park. He tells Monica about her rude comments and tells her that he wants to write a letter to Stone. She asks him what about saying face to face. AJ knows he won’t be able to say what he wants in person, he wants to think it out and write out his feelings so he can really express them to Stone. Later, Mike brings AJ’s letter to Stone. Robin reads AJ’s letter to him.

“Dear Stone, Your probably wondering why I’m writing this instead of simply saying what I have to say to your face. But this isn’t easy for me and I’m afraid if I try to explain I’ll screw it up, I do that sometimes. Something happened to me at the AIDS Walk that took me by surprise, a mirror was held up and I say myself in it and I didn’t like what I saw. That woman represented the most narrow minded, bigoted and prejudiced amoung us yet she was so convinced of her own superiority. When I saw how you handled her and I recognized how very wrong she was about you and AIDS and the way people react out of ignorance, I knew I had some major soul searching to do.

To begin with, I owe you a personal apology for some of the things I have said and done. I also owe you a debt of gratitude for opening my eyes to things. Things are not always what they seem or what we wish them to be, neither are people. Its a lesson I’m learning late but one I won’t forget and if there is one thing I might do to make up for my past behavior is to make you this solemn promise, to recognize and move beyond my own prejudices and not be so quick to rush to judgement. Your very strong Stone, you proved that today when you stood up for yourself. But should you ever find you need someone to stand up with you, you know where to find me. Respectfully yours, Alan Quartermaine Jr.”

8/16 Robin comes into the foundation and tells Jason, Keisha, and AJ that Stone is in the hospital and he is going to be there awhile. She tells them that Stone has CMV and is going blind. She asks them to do her a favor, she is trying to stay really positive for Stone’s sake. She wants to just try to find the joy in the time they have. She asks them not to say anything at all as she tries to talk about it, she will start crying and she is afraid she won’t be able to stop. Robin thanks AJ for the letter he wrote to Stone and tells them that it renewed Stone’s faith. Jason asks about what letter? Jason looks at him in shock, Robin shares that it meant a lot to him and it gave her an idea. Robin wants to put together a memory book for Stone made by all of his friends to express how they feel about him. She wants him to feel like his life meant something. Jason says just try to stop them! Keisha agrees it is a great idea.

Jason visits Stone and Sonny at GH. Jason is encouraging about new drugs to treat CMV. Stone says that the new meds are still in research and he can’t get access to them as they have to test them for another 10-20 years. Back the Q’s they argue over the air conditioner, Jason wanting them to turn the a/c down for environmental reasons. Edward scoffs that part of being rich is they can have the a/c on. Alan and Monica come in, they are off to celebrate their anniversary that night. Edward and family make a very nice toast celebrating them surviving everything they had been through.

8/22 To lift his spirits, Jason, AJ and Keisha bring the beach to Stone at the hospital complete with beach toys, Beach Boy music, beach blanket movies, and attired in beach wear. Keisha breaks out Mae Mae’s chicken, cole slaw and fruit salad. Stone says this is the first time he has been hungry in weeks. Robin hugs Keisha, thanking her for doing such a nice thing.

Later, the group head over to the Outback. Mac is surprised they have already been to the beach and back today. Robin shares that the beach party was in Stone’s hospital room. Robin says that the best thing was seeing how happy Stone was, and seeing him actually eat and have an appetite.

8/25 Jason notices Robin is looking very run down. He takes her to GH to see Alan as she has a fever and swollen glands. Alan examines Robin and he decides to run another HIV test.
