Early Robin #3  November 11 - December 20, 2008 - 8 hour original edit

#3A  Buzz also tells Anna about the missing dinner trays and the figure that Robin has been hiding out in the hospital and eating well at least. They search the hospital and then head to the streets to look for Robin. Unbeknownst to them, Robin has hidden in the back of the medical van and sneaks out on one of their stops in the Asian Quarter. Anna tells Buzz that she believes Robin must have overheard her and Robert talking about being her parents and this is what led to her running away.

Robin runs down the street in the rain, and runs into the Ancient One and drops her doll. She complains that the doll's leg is broken. Robin is soaked and he wipes her face and takes her inside to dry out and get something warm to eat. He asks her about her family and she tells him that she lives alone and he realizes that she is a runaway. She also tells him that her mother and father don't love her and don't even want her to know that they are her parents. He is shocked that she lives alone and says that her parents must have had a very good reason for not telling her. He believes that they do love her as she is very loveable and as her new grandfather he is already starting to love her, as she is easy to love. She doesn't have a grandfather but has friends who do and likes the idea. She tells him about her grandmother who she misses very much. She asks him if he can fix her dolls broken leg?

Robert arrives and Anna fills him in on Robin running away and that she has been hiding out at GH. They are relieved that Robin is alive and well but heartbroken that she would be so hurt as to feel she had to leave home. Anna and Buzz stop at the Tea House, and Buzz shows her the hair clip he found in the van. Anna recognizes that it is Robin's and she was wearing it the day she disappeared. They figure that she had stowed away in the van. Robert arrives and Buzz tells him the locations the van stopped and Robert orders an intensive search of those areas. A sad, wet Robert mournfully walks the deserted streets of the rainy Asian Quarter. The Green Shirts arrived equipped with walkie-talkies to help aid in the search. Anna heads back to GH and the every helpful Buzz acts as a liaison so that she can question the hospital staff about Robin.

The Ancient one tells Robin about the dream of his people for their fleet of fishing vessels. He tells her that he has lost the key to his people's dream and there are bad people who don't want his people to be free. They go outside just long enough for one of Wu's men to see Robin and the Ancient One. She asks what the key looks like. He shows her the two Jade Buddha's and tells her that they were stolen and says that inside there were two black pearls that were not returned and they are the key to his people's future. Robin has a flashback of finding the black pearls in the Buddha's and putting them into Cindy as her eyes. She overhears him say that without the pearls his people are doomed. He tells her that it will take a miracle to get the pearls back now. She asks what a miracle is and he says that it is a great surprise, a gift from God. He leaves her so that she can take a nap. She looks sadly at Cindy and tells her that she didn't know how important the pearls were. She promises Cindy that she will get her new eyes. Robin removes the pearls and puts them back in the Buddha's. She puts them to bed with Cindy and covers them up, and pleased she comments that her new grandfather will be so surprised.

Kim sneaks into the Ancient One's apartment and steals the doll and the Buddha's. Robin wakes up and sees him sneaking out and yells at him. On the street, he is confronted by the Green Shirts. He gets away and throws the doll down and hides the Buddha's on a vendor's shelf. Kim calls his grandfather and happily reports that he has the black pearls as he found them hidden in the Buddha's. Wu contacts the ship coming in from Asia with his shipment, he tells them they have the pearls and orders radio silence until the ship docks. The Ancient One and Robin come down the street, Robin sees her doll lying there and she hurries towards it. The Ancient One sees his Buddha's on the shelf nearby, they take their belongings and hurry away. Kim returns and is desperate to find the Buddha's; the shopkeeper tells him that the Ancient One retrieved them.

Robert arrives to meet Yang and Jade at the Ancient One's apartment; they find his bodyguard locked in a closet. He tells them that the Ancient One has left with the little girl named Robin. The Ancient One and Robin are quickly walking down the dock area to safety (more location scenes). Buzz and Anna arrive down on the docks, searching for Robin, just missing them. Back at GH, Robert tells Anna that Robin is with the Ancient One. They believe he realizes she is a runaway and is protecting her. They return home and find Philomena collapsed on the floor from a heart attack. She is rushed to GH and is in very serious condition. Anna worries and tells Robert that she couldn't love her more if she was her real mother. Robin tells the Ancient One about Philomena. Yang finds his grandfather's flag that symbolizes freedom for their people and he leads a demonstration in the streets. The Ancient One hears Yang's voice encouraging their people and he is proud of the man he has become. The council is very unhappy that Wu had Yim killed without checking with them first. He assures them that there was no time in consulting with them and calms them that the plan is going according to schedule and that he is sure the Ancient One does not have the pearls. Afterwards when Kim tells him he laced Yim's tea with poison, Wu realizes this is the same poison he used to kill Josh and that Kim can now be linked to two murders!

Frisco overhears this and wants to tell Robert immediately. He runs out as Sean yells at him to stop. He catches him outside and tells him that he is going to blow everything they have worked towards, that they are onto something big and he has to stay undercover a bit longer. Kim tells Olin and a group of sewing women that there salaries are cut another 25%. The other ladies don't want to jeopardize the income but Olin has had it and encourages them to all unite. She says that if they lead the way, the men will follow them. Amy gives Buzz a message that was left for the medical van crew. It asks for the medical lady to ride with the van today, Anna is hopeful that this will be information about Robin. More cool location scenes as Anna and Buzz cruise the Asian Quarter in the medical van. They see Olin and she tells Anna that there are several merchants who will testify against Kim. Kim is also seen walking the streets collecting his extortion money as Wu watches from a restaurant terrace. Buzz is sure that Olin is the source of the message. Robert calls in several pharmacists from the Asian Quarter and informs them that there have been two cyanide poisonings and asks them for their help. Robert asks Anna about Buzz's interest in her. She is oblivious and he points out that she is a beautiful woman.

Sean and Frisco listen in as Wu and Kim talk about their ultimate plan and why the cannery is so important to their organization. They plan on taking the cocaine shipment from Asia, canning it into cat food cans, and Wu promises Kim that he can have Sean's portion of the profits. Wu wants to know where Kim will hide it and he indicates directly below the bar in the catacombs. They hide as Kim stashes the cocaine. Suki shows his inexperience by talking while the plug is off their listening hole and Wu hears them. When Kim returns, Wu tells him that someone is hiding below and he believes it is Sean and Frisco eavesdropping on him! Kim sets off an explosion sealing Suki and Frisco in the catacombs. Wu is later concerned about the cocaine that was hidden there. Kim gloats that there is no way to tie the cocaine to them. Frisco is horrified to realize they are trying to bury them alive! Sean has followed Kim to the warehouse and when he returns to the catacombs, he finds the entrance buried with the aftermath of the explosion. He screams Frisco and Suki's names but doesn't hear any response. He takes off running to get help from Robert.

A filthy Sean arrives, and Robert orders him arrested. He gasps out that he is there to save Frisco's life. He tells him about the cave in and he offers to draw a map to show where they are located. He is worried about them having enough air. Sean tells him that he has been working with Frisco to get evidence against Wu and he has it! He tells him that he has found out that Wu plans on using the cannery to sell cocaine, that he was there and taped Kim when he made the cocaine buy. Robert refuses to take Felicia with him, he asks her to stay there and wait. He leaves a handcuffed Sean under Anna's watch. Felicia runs out to get Tony and tell him about the cave in. Robert heads to the entrance with a crew who begin digging. They warn him that there could be a further cave in at any minute as the walls are very unstable. Just before the get to Frisco, Felicia and Tony arrive and are thrilled when Frisco is pulled to safety. Frisco, barely able to breathe, manages to ask, “What took you so long?” Frisco hands over the cocaine stash and

Back at Robert's, Sean tells Anna she is his only hope at redeeming himself. He wants her to free him so he can repair the damaged tape, which is his proof  against Kim. Sean is very worried about Frisco; he has become very fond of him in the past few weeks and comments that he reminds him a lot of Robert. Once back at the Scorpio's, Frisco assures Robert that Sean is on their side and he has now saved his life twice. He asks Robert to release Sean. Robert argues that Sean is a wanted criminal. Frisco says that Robert is the most honorable man he knows and asks him to believe Sean and release him from the handcuffs. Anna has tried to repair the tape and plays the tape for Robert. Sean grins as Robert listens to the evidence that Kim was making a cocaine buy. Robert tells Sean that he believes him and then pulls out the cocaine that Frisco found in the catacombs. Robert offers to try to bring Sean back on the team and says he will call the judge and set up a hearing for tomorrow and he will tell the judge that he needs Sean's help. One of the council members is very unhappy with Wu as his company is being investigated for the sale of cyanide, which was used in Josh's murder. They are even less happy with the report of the cave in and the loss of the cocaine. Ginny calls and asks Robert about him being seen with Frisco. He tells her that yes Frisco is fine and he has been cleared of all charges. The man who hit Tai has come forward. Ginny wants to interview Frisco and clear his name publicly. Robert agrees that this is a good idea. Burt gets word that the judge has agreed to Robert's request to use Sean's assistance.

Later, after everyone has gone home, Anna starts to go to pieces, as she is so worried about Robin's safety. Robert tells her that he needs her and asks her to hold it together just a little longer. Suki and Olin show up and tell Robert about all of the merchants who will testify against Kim and Wu. Robert is relieved to hear it and will set up the line up. Anna begs her if she knows anything about Robin's whereabouts. Olin is sorry to hear that no one has heard anything about Robin, not a word about her. Anna is increasingly worried that Wu will become desperate now that the Asian people will testify against Wu and when Wu realizes he is losing out on the cannery that he will lash out at the Ancient One and Robin may get caught in the crossfire. Robert assures her that he will find Robin today! Anna is worried that Robin doesn't want to return to them and that is why she hasn't told the Ancient One who she is. Robert believes that Robin will understand once they find her and tell her the truth.

The Ancient One tells Robin that he has to go out today to do something for his people. She worries as he has told her how dangerous it is for him. She asks him to find her grandmother. He tells her that he tried to find Philomena Saltini in the phone book but no luck. He asks if there is anyone else who might know where she is. She tells him about Buzz and he says he will try to find him. He tells her that now she has a huge family, as everyone in the Asian Quarter will love her as she found the pearls. He demonstrates the secret knock and warns her not to open the door unless she hears that knock.  Wu is organizing his team and wants everyone on the street looking for the Ancient One and the little girl. Kim orders to grab her as well as they can use her for leverage over Robert. The Ancient One meets an old friend and tells him he needs to find Olin. Suki arrives to take him to Olin. The Ancient One tells Olin that he has heard of her courage and that today they will see the people's dream come true. She talks Slang and he doesn't understand a word she says! She tells him about their plans to put Wu and Kim in jail for victimizing the people. He asks her to get a message to Yang, telling him to meet at Mr. Barrington's office at 3:00. Olin is worried about him being out on the street. He shows her the pearls and he asks her to hold the pearls in case something happens to him. He asks her to get the pearls to Mr. Barrington's office in case he is captured, he urges her that the dream must go on and the pearls are the future. One of Wu's men sees the Ancient One and tries to tail him but several people in the quarter put up obstacles to slow him down.

#3B  Suki arrives to tell Olin about the increased risk now that the Ancient One has been spotted. Olin orchestrates an intricate passing of the pearls from one trusted friend to the next. He returns to Robin and tells her that he has learned that the medical van will be on the docks today and when they hear the bell they will go to Buzz and ask him to take Robin home to her family. The District Attorney is not happy about Sean being out on bail and wants him incarcerated. The judge decides to grant bail after Robert personally assures him that Sean will be show up to his trial. Robert asks Burt to send the police van for Olin and her friends for the police line up. Burt arrives and takes Kim in for the line up. Olin and her friends identify Kim as an extortionist and he is arrested. Olin tells Robert about seeing the Ancient One and that he asked her about the medical van. Robert realizes this must have something to do with Robin and he calls and tries to get through to the van but the line is busy. Robert demands that the operator interrupt the call that it is an emergency. He is unable to get through as the phone in the van is down. Robert asks Burt to keep trying to get through to the van.

Robin hears the bells on the van and they head out to the street just as the van pulls up. Anna sees her little girl and gets out and they run into each other's arms (a classic GH moment!). Anna picks up her daughter, hugs her tightly, the pain of their separation, the relief, the joy of this reunion evident on her face. Unfortunately it is short lived as Wu's men grab Anna and take Robin and the Ancient One. Anna assures her daughter that it is just another game and Robin blithely accepts strangers taking her away once again. Anna's capture karate chops her and puts her out of commission. Kim is out on bail and his grandfather tells him that the have captured the Ancient One and Robin. Wu points out to Kim that he has a perfect alibi in the kidnapping as Kim was at the PCPD. Robert asks Burt to send some men down to the docks, as he is worried that they can't get through to the van. Olin tries to tell Robert about the pearls but he is in a hurry to get out to the docks. Anna calls and cries that she had Robin in her arms but that they took her and the Ancient One. Robert rushes to the docks.

Anna is about ready to collapse. She has a bruise on her forehead and her vision is blurry and she leans on Buzz. Olin returns home to find her apartment torn up and Suki lying on the floor. Suki tells her he came to warn her that the Ancient One and the little girl were snatched off of the docks. Suki is worried about the pearls but she tells him that the Ancient One didn't have the pearls that he had given them to her. Suki worries that she is now in danger, but she tells him she has passed it off to one of her friends.  Anna stops and asks people if they have seen Robin. They assure her that the word is out and they are all looking for Robin. Robert arrives and starts barking orders to barricade and cordoned off the entire quarter. Robert takes her in his arms and comforts her, she tells him about Robin running towards her and calling her “mummy” and that she had her in her arms.

Robert has talked to Mr. Barrington about extending the deal to sell the cannery to the Asian cooperative for another 10 days. Mr. Wu is furious and warns Barrington that he has an army of lawyers and he will own the cannery. Barrington says that the police have brought pressure on him and they have lawyers too.  Robert sets up a headquarters down in the Asian Quarter to conduct the search. He takes over a bar that is owned by Wu and the manager is not at all happy with him being there. Yang shows up and is concerned to have learned that his grandfather and Robin have been kidnapped. He offers to stay and help in any way he can. Robert has Burt bring Wu to his makeshift headquarters. When Wu arrives, Buzz has to restrain Anna from kicking his butt. Wu points out that both he and Kim have alibis for the day. Robert growls to Wu that if one hair on his daughter's head is harmed that Wu is a dead man!

After Wu leaves, Robert surmises that Wu is acting like a man who is holding all of the cards. Burt arrives and tells him that there have been reports of the apartment's of those who ID Kim have been ransacked. Robert is disturbed to hear the retaliation has begun. Meanwhile, the pearls are continually passed amongst the people in the quarter to keep them safely hidden. Robert decides to move his headquarters back to his communications room. As soon as he leaves, the bartender opens a secret door and reveals that Robin and the Ancient One were hidden in the next room. The next morning, Anna tries to get Robert to open the door to his communications room as he has been in there all night. Sean reminds her that Robert will be at the computer for hours until he finds some answers. Anna is about ready to lose it, as she can't stand being separated from Robin any longer. She beats herself up to Sean that its all her fault for not telling Robin that she was her mother, for not telling Robert for all of those years. She collapses into his arms in tears as he comforts her.

Monica arrives and tells her that Buzz is in trouble with the board for using the medical van to look for Robin and asks Anna to help. She agrees to speak to the board on Buzz's behalf. Monica takes a moment before she leaves to flirt with Sean and tells him that being on the run seems to have agreed with him (her way of telling Sean he is looking hot?). Anna stops in to see Philomena and she has to make excuses for why she can't talk to Robin. Philomena is insistent but they say there are no phone privileges until she is better. They have told Philomena that Robin is home safe and sound to protect her from any further stress as she recovers from her heart attack. They tell her that Robin has a bad cold and is home in bed. Anna testifies on Buzz's behalf before a whose who of General Hospital.  Back home, they all eagerly await Robert's return from his enforced seclusion wondering what he could be working on that has kept him occupied so long. Sean wants them all to stay close, as when Robert comes out he may need them all to go into immediate action, so Frisco, Felicia, Sean, Buzz and Anna wait. Sean uses the time to question Anna about the events around Robin's kidnapping.

Robert finally comes out of his secret room with a printout detailing his entire organization. Unfortunately, Robert hasn't found any clues as to where he might be holding Robin. Robert continues with the information that the black pearls that the Ancient One has can bring down Wu's organization in Port Charles. They surmise that they have to find the black pearls in order to stop Wu. Anna suggests that the Ancient One knew how much danger he was in and he would have told someone where the pearls are hidden. They start thinking back to who was the last person that had seen the Ancient One and Robert believes it was Olin. Frisco vouches that she is someone that they can trust, that she is on the level. Robert suggests that Frisco goes to the quarter and question Olin about them.

Wu pressures the Ancient One to give over the pearls. Kim wants to use physical force to coerce him into giving up the information they want but Wu restrains him. The Ancient One negotiates that he will give Wu the information only after Robin is released and safely home with her parents. One of Kim's guys comes in and says that there is something going on in the quarter, that the people know something but won't give him the information. Kim determines that he will go into the quarter in disguise to try to find out what the people know. The Council of Six arrive and demand a meeting. They have lost confidence in Wu and his ability to get the pearls back and report that they are all experience unrest in their own communities. Wu assures them that the Ancient One has given up that he has accepted defeat and that he has Robert Scorpio's child and has beaten him as well. Wu is quite cocky that he will have the pearls back by that very evening!

Frisco goes to see Olin but she can't help him and won't give him the information, she can't help him. He tells her what a great lady she is and that he is jealous of Suki for having her for a grandmother, that he is very lucky. He knows how important the pearls are to her and her people. He knows that the Ancient One doesn't have the pearls as he and Robin would be free by now if Wu had retrieved them. He warns her about the cocaine that Wu is bringing in and he will use the drug to target the children of the quarter. He warns Olin that it will be like living in hell. He asks her if she knows where the pearls are and she admits the plan of passing the pearls around from one trusted person to the next to keep them safe.  Frisco asks Olin to take her to the quarter and show him how the pass off works. They stand in the quarter and he watches as the pearls change hands. As he sees them lying on a table, Olin tells him that he knows where they are and she understands if he has to take them. He says he can't that the decision has to be up to the people. He knows the conditions they live, the near slavery and poverty conditions, and he can't take the dream away from them as he knows what the pearls mean for their future. He asks Olin to make the proposition to the people and let them decide what they want to do.

Robert gets Anna to think of every detail, and she recalls seeing the costumes and as she begins to describe them they all realize that two  the people in costume could have been the Ancient One and Robin. They check the map and narrow it down to the area around the Bamboo Bar. Anna describes the glitter on the costumes and Robert suddenly recalls seeing glitter on the floor of the bar. Robert puts it all together and knows where they are being held and they all head to the bar. Frisco comes in and urgently asks where Robert and Anna are? He knows where the pearls are and has to talk to Robert. Sean and Felicia tell him that they went to the bar where he believes that Robin is being held. Robert and Anna arrive at the bar and grow frustrated after searching and not finding the hostages. Then Robert notices an air vent going to the secret room and they find the room and find Robin and the Ancient One! Robert  and Anna are two very thrilled parents and smother their daughter with hugs and kisses as she laughingly assures them that she is fine. The Ancient One plays along that the game is over and wasn't it fun? Robin declares this was the best game yet!

They all arrive back at Robert's house, and there is a happy reunion all around. Olin arrives with the news that the people agreed to exchange the pearls to free the Ancient One and Robin. She is thrilled to see they are safe. Robert asks the Ancient One to delay following through on the cannery deal to give him time to bust Wu's cocaine ring. He agrees. In disguise Kim follows the movement of the pearls and is able to pick them up and take possession of the pearls!

The gang celebrates Thanksgiving together. Buzz comes over and gives Cindy new eyes, Robin is very grateful to him for fixing Cindy. When they are alone, Robert and Anna sit Robin down to talk to her. She doesn't understand why they didn't tell her they were her mommy and daddy? Did they not want her to know? Were they ashamed of her? They assure her that they love her very much and they are very proud of her. They didn't want to see her hurt. She tells them but she was hurt, she was hurt very much. They tell her how sorry they are, that they wanted to tell her but they waited too long. She wants to know if Robbie loves Anna? He tells her that he loved her a long time ago and that she is a child created out of love. They promise to love her forever.

Jade runs into Kim and as she tells him she is glad that his plan has failed that Robin and the Ancient One are free and the people have the pearls, he gloats that he has the pearls and he proudly shows them to her. She looks at him in horror, then grabs the pearls, slams her arm through a window and throws them outside. They are immediately picked up and hidden. Kim throws Jade off of him when she tries to stop him from going outside, she falls backwards and hits her head. Robin wants to know why her parents aren't still together. They try to explain about them having a dangerous job and the pressure of it caused them to separate. She asks why mommy didn't tell him about Robin? He explains that mommy was worried that a bad man might try to get to Robert by hurting Robin and mommy did it to keep Robin safe. They talk about the first time they meet and how they both liked each other. He tells her that he would have loved her even if she weren't his daughter. They talk about him going to Australia to be with Holly and she promises to come and visit him. Robin throws her arms around his neck and declares that she doesn't want to lose him. Anna agrees that it will be fine for her to visit him.

Jade comes to and calls Yank and tells her that she has been hurt during a confrontation with Kim. He and Buzz take the medical van and arrive at Wu's office and find her unconscious. As Yank picks her up, Wu and Kim come into the office and demand to know what is going on. Yank reams Wu for all of his dirty deeds, kidnapping an old man and a little girl, selling cocaine, stealing the dream from the people, and now hurting his own granddaughter! After they leave, Wu is furious with Kim for hurting Jade. Kim tries to explain that she was taunting him and he showed her the pearls to prove that the Asian Cooperative hadn't won and then confesses how she took them from him. He didn't mean to hurt her but Wu is tired of his excuses and his temper.

Robert visits that Ancient One and then Frisco and Felicia arrive. The Ancient One is being discharged from GH and plans on taking the pearls to NY to be sold and he will then buy the cannery. He thanks Frisco for all of the sacrifices he has made in order to help his people and tells Frisco that he has brought honor on himself and to his family and he is very revered in the quarter. Frisco asks where Yank is and the Ancient One tells him that Kim has hurt Jade and Yank went to treat her. The Ancient One and Olin are taken by police helicopter to NY and sell the pearls for more than was expected. They are both very happy at the success and he declares that the Asian people are in the debt of a very special and very courageous little girl. Just as Wu is assuring the Council of Six that Robert is no longer a threat and nothing to be worried about, Robert busts in with an old warrant and starts searching each of them. While Robert distracts them, Sean plants a bug. Wu is furious and tells Robert that he won't get away with this. Robert calls him on kidnapping an old man and a little girl and holding them on his property and warns him he will receive life in prison for it! Robert warns him that if anyone is harmed that Wu will answer for it.

After Robert and Sean leave, the council turn on Wu tired of his inept actions and blame him for lack of results. He tries to rein them in and assures them that it is not over and that the Asian Cooperative will not take over the cannery. As Robert and the boys listen in, they grow concerned over what Wu's next action will be as he doesn't sound like a defeated man. Robert and the gang go out to follow Wu and Kim and he declares that they can't let them out of their sight. There is a festival planned for the night in the Asian Quarter and Robin is walking in the parade with the Ancient One and everyone is planning on attending. Robert is concerned about the festival but says he can't stop it as the people are in the mood to celebrate. The Ancient One completes the purchase with Derek and the Asian Coop now owns the cannery. The parade begins, an outdoor location shot with big dragons and spectators. Meanwhile, Sean follows Mr. Wu to the warehouse and watches as he meets with two guys in diver outfits who have brought I the cocaine. He completes his cocaine buy and then Sean takes Wu into custody. Wu is very eager to get out of the warehouse and Sean comments on his nervousness. Outside, Robert is waiting on a boat with security and they take the two divers into custody. Cute moment as the Green Shirts surprise Suki with a Green Jacket and make him a member.

Frisco heads over the tea room, Suki and one of the Green Shirts come in and tell Frisco that Kim is fishing, sitting in a boat in the middle of the harbor. Frisco heads down there to check it out. He follows Kim in a boat, and watches as Kim plants several explosive devices under the docks. Frisco follows him up to the dock and when Kim sees Frisco, he takes off running. Frisco catches him and they fight, Kim takes a pipe to Frisco and knocks him down. Yang comes up and takes on Kim and knocks him out. Frisco tells Yang about the bombs on the docks, just under where the people have gathered to hear the Ancient One speak. They head off to try to find them all. The Ancient One goes up to podium and announces that the cannery now belongs to the people. They celebrate and one by one begin signing the deed. Sean brings Wu out to the dock area and Frisco tells him about the explosives. They have found four explosive devices but Frisco believes that Kim had time to plant more. Wu is silent until Sean decides to tie him up and leave him on the dock. They realize Wu's intention was to blow up the cannery (talk about a sore loser!). Wu finally tells them where the final device is. The Green Shirts arrive and help escort Wu to the waiting police car. The edit ends as Anna agrees to become co-police chief with Burt Ramsey as Robert prepares to leave town.

A press conference is held in Robert's office announcing the two new co-police commissioners, Burt Ramsey and Anna Devane. Robert is given a chance to say his goodbyes to the people of Port Charles. Robert notices that Robin has left the room and realizes she is feeling sad about the goodbyes and him leaving. He goes outside to find a rather sad little girl sitting all alone. He sits next to her and reassures her. She is worried that maybe Holly won't like her and he tells her that Holly will love her! She seems more cheered Ruby shows up and gives Robert a hard time for daring to try to leave town without saying goodbye to her. Robert swears he would not have left without coming to see Ruby. Anna takes Robin out to get a hot chocolate, and Robert deputizes Buzz, Sean, and Frisco as Robin's godfathers.  Robert has his last scene with Robin and says goodbye to her. He doesn't want to say any more goodbyes, turning out to be harder than he expected to leave. Anna takes Robert to the airport and they say their final goodbye. She tells him not to worry about her as she has Robin to love. They share a last moment and he pulls her into his arms and kisses her, she stands watching him leave with tears in her eyes (as we all do!). Anna obsesses about what to wear to work in her new duties as police chief. Philomena assures her that she looks beautiful.
