DVD #18A  Anna is allowed to see Duke, she is told that Robert arranged this special priviledge. Anna tells Duke that Robert has left for Australia. He acknowledges that Robert has helped them a lot. They hold each other and kiss as he tells her how good it is to see her, how he lies in his cell at night thinking of her. She tells him that she dreams of him, that her life is on hold waiting for him. He hopes she can wait for him just a bit longer. She promises to wait forever. He promises to make her very happy and that nothing is going to get in their way of being together and being happy now. They are soon interrupted and told their time together is up. He tells her to hold onto their dream. Angus urgently tells the warden that their is a plot to kill Duke while he is in the infirmary and they have to get there to stop it!

Frisco is convinced that Lucy is the murderer but Anna advises him not to rule out Buzz even though he is a friend. Duke evades a knife attack by a prisoner and engages in a fist-fight with him which is broken up by the guards. Believing that Angus ordered the hit, Duke lashes out at him saying that he hates the mob and that Angus makes him sick. When the warden explains that Angus tried to protect him, Duke feels bad about what he said to Angus and apologizes to him. Duke realizes that Angus is now a target of mob retaliation because he broke the code of silence. They both agree to protect one another in prison.

While visiting the Quatermaines, Sister Camelia spots a picture of Duke and she faints and is taken to General Hospital. Dr. Tony Jones probes into Camelia's background. Two more prisoners are out to kill Duke and Angus. A letter bomb is sent to them but they recognize it as a bomb. Determined not to be intimidated, Duke refuses to tell the warden about the letter bomb and tosses it back in the prisoners' faces. Duke and Angus are worried that the mob knows about the murder at L'Orlean.

Duke is not happy when he finds out that the knife attack incident was leaked to the newspaper; this is sure to upset Anna. She tells Frisco that she is going to the state penitentiary to see Duke and get some answers out of him. Anna cannot understand why Angus is risking his life to protect Duke in prison. 

Robin spots Sister Mary Camelia tearing out a picture of Duke from an article in the newspaper and asks her, why?  Tania, Robin, and Camilla go to Duke’s club and listen to Frisco and his band rehearse. Anna arrives at Duke’s club and meets Camilla.

Sister Camelia is upset when Frisco informs her that Angus once tried to kill Duke. Sister Camelia arranges for a flight to the state penitentiary, where Duke and Angus are. Working in the warden's office , Duke assures Anna he is safe. Angus has a visitor in prison, it is Sister Mary Camelia, his daughter. She has been trying for years to track him down. The postmark on his last letter from Port Charles gave him away. Angus and Camelia talk about her brother, Duke. In the hallway, Duke is shocked to see Camelia. He didn’t know she was a nun? She tells him she is a novice and hasn’t yet taken her final vows.

After she leaves, Angus admits to Duke that he is haunted by the terrible thing that happened to Camelia but he is comforted that at least she has found peace as she doesn’t remember it at all. A handwritting expert believes that Lucy could have been the person who wrote the death threat valentine card. Over Jake's objections, Anna orders Frisco to arrest Lucy. The electricity is off at the club as Frisco neglected to pay the bill. For the evenings entertainment he sings “Let It Be” by candlelight. Then the lights come on and the crowd cheers as the band can now play.

(slight jump on scenes from this episode) A new prisoner tells another prisoner he is there to get Duke and Angus. The warden at the state penitentiary is upset that Duke and Angus did not tell him about the letter bomb incident and demands that they tell him who sent it? Duke and Angus refuse to reveal the identity of the man. If they were to do so, Camelia could end up being a target of mob retaliation.

Duke is worried about Camelia and prays that she never regains her memory of an awful night from her past. The man that Frisco arrested in Port Charles for hit-and-run tells an inmate in the state penitentiary that he is going to eliminate Duke and Angus for personal reasons. Duke spots the man Frisco arrested and recognizes his face; which is identical to Evan, the dead man from the awful night in Camelia's past. Angus tells Duke the man he saw is Evan's cousin; which makes them both worried.

An upset Camelia goes to see Angus at the prison. She has spotted Evan's look-alike cousin in the newspaper and believes she has seen that face before. Worried that she will regain her memory of Evan and what happened that night four years ago, neither Duke nor Angus will reveal anything to her. Tony is aware that Duke knows Sister Camelia and Duke asks him to keep that fact to himself.  Duke and Angus know that Evan's cousin is in the prison to kill them.

Tony is carrying a letter from Duke that he is supposed to deliver to Camelia. When Tony visits Anna, he accidentally leaves the letter behind. Spotting the letter on her floor, Anna wonders why Duke is writing to Camelia. When Camelia reads the letter, she learns that Duke has given her the key to his penthouse to stay while she is in Port Charles. When Anna goes inside Duke's penthouse, she is unpleasantly surprised to find Sister Camelia sleeping in Duke's bed and demands to know why she is there. Duke explains that Camelia is his half-sister. Duke cannot reveal the secret of L'Orlean to Anna because of the danger involved.

Camelia is trying to remember her past, the period of time that she has forgotten since her breakdown but Anna tells her that Duke does not want her to remember it. Anna is alarmed when Camelia admits that she has a vague memory of Johnathan, the "bad man" Frisco apprehended. He  is now in the same prison that Duke is in. Hearing that there is an emergency at the state penitentiary, Anna and Camelia go there immediately.

Duke and Camelia are mourning Angus' death. The warden asks Anna to lead the investigation into Angus' alleged suicide. Camelia and Duke know the truth, Jonathan had something to do with Angus' death. While Camelia wants punishment, Duke wants the matter dropped for Angus' sake. Duke orders her not to tell Anna that Jonathan resembles the man from L'Orlean. Camelia does as Duke wants when Anna questions her about Jonathan. Immediately suspicious, Anna demands that Duke tell her what he and Camelia are hiding but Duke urges her to drop her investigation because Angus died to protect her and Robin.

At the prison, Duke has great news for Anna; his parole hearing is tomorrow. When a fellow prisoner is rejected in his parole hearing, Duke begins to lose hope that he will be granted parole but Anna tries to keep him in a positive frame of mind. Duke is granted his freedom by the parole board and he can go ahead with his plans to fly to Canada with Camelia; in order to bury Angus.

Janet and Duke discuss the night of Camelia's breakdown four years ago. Janet advises Duke to take Anna away from L'Orlean before she discovers the secret. Duke refuses to talk to Anna about Camelia's secret from her past.

Anna apologizes to Janet for upsetting Camelia the other night. Janet wants Duke to get Anna out of town as soon as possible; Anna is digging too deeply into the secret of L'Orlean and Camelia has a fragile emotional state. Janet and Duke are worried that Camelia has gone to see Abigail. According to Janet, Abigail could cost Camelia her sanity. Camelia informs Anna that she is having second thoughts about becoming a nun and returning to the convent. To Duke's displeasure, Anna invites Camelia to join them in Port Charles.

Anna and Duke arrive home from their stay in L'Orlean and are hopeful for the future with Robin. Janet wants Camelia to go back to the convent but Camelia is feeling the need to return to the outside world with Duke. Duke tells Robin he will marry Anna once he pays a fine for his past crimes.

Duke tells Felicia and Anna that he is looking for a job on the docks and Sean ends up hiring him. Camelia tells Janet that she does not know if she will return to the convent.  Duke proposes to Anna and gives her an engagement ring. When he is free of his financial debt, they will get married.

Worried that Camelia has not returned to the convent, Duke urges Janet to convince her to go back there as it is the best place for her. Anna assigns Frisco to a new case; a string of robberies with the victims all men from out of town who did not press charges. Frisco is not happy with the assignment because he wants to work on a homicide case. Felicia tells Duke that Anna is afraid that if puts off their marriage for too long, it will never take place.

Anna tells Duke she won't probe into the secret of L'Orlean any further; their happiness is what matters. Unable to reach Camelia by phone, Duke wrongly assumes that she has returned to the convent (here he feels she belongs). Abigail tells Camelia that she knows the truth about her. Abigail tells her she was a midwife who brought Camelia into the world and that Angus is not her father and Duke is not her half-brother. Overcome by the news, Camelia faints. Frisco tells Anna he has an idea that the suspects in his robbery investigation are women. Janet tells Camelia that Abigail is nothing more than an old fool. Janet says that Camelia should not believe what Abigail told her, it is not true.

Sam informs Frisco and Anna about another man who fits the profile of robbery victims that Frisco has been investigating. This man is also from out of town and claims to have lost his money and credit cards. Frisco tells Anna about a suspect he saw with that man the other night at Duke's Club. Camelia goes to the convent to talk with the mother superior and informs her that she no longer wishes to become a nun. Janet is upset when she learns of Camelia's decision.

Duke is working hard on the docks to try and earn enough money to pay off his debt so that he can marry Anna. Baron's housekeeper reveals to Camelia that Baron is indeed her father. Camelia happily tells Janet the news and says that she will be leaving soon. Camelia buys a one-way train ticket to Port Charles. Duke and Anna take Robin to the zoo. Duke and Anna then enjoy some intimate time at his place alone, kissing and snuggling in bed. Anna admits that everything seems easy when they are alone together, but she is scared of all of their problems, the possibilities. She says she knows what they have to do and how they have to do it, but sometimes she feels like she can go out of her mind with thoughts of what can go wrong. He promises her they belong together.

 Duke proposes they stay in the penthouse forever. Anna asks what they will eat? He says they can live off of love. Anna says the real world can do without them for now and and puts her arms around him and kisses him. She tells him she is taking the day off, he picks her up and twirls her around and tells her he loves it and he loves her. She suggests they spend the entire day in bed and they go off to the bedroom. Later, Captain Lewis calls and as she is trying to discuss police business, Duke is kissing her neck and completely distracting her.

Afterwards, he notices her looking around and asks her what she is doing. She tells him she is looking at the decor and comments that it is rather masculine. He laughs that he thinks that means his place is about to undergo a major rennovation and he will need another $100,000 for that! As Duke is trying to figure out his finances, Anna begins kissing his neck and tryies to distract him. She tempts him, till they are rolling around on the floor, kissing. Camelia walks in on them in regular clothes, with full hair and make up. Anna doesn’t recognize her, and Duke is definitely not happy to have her arrive!
