11/6 Sabrina tells Liz about seeing the NB album.

11/12 Sabrina told Patrick that it was okay to miss Robin because she had been young, well-loved at GH, and had a lot left to give. Sabrina said that she had learned what a great person Robin had been by looking at pictures of the Nurses' Ball with Emma, who was very proud of her mother. Sabrina said that she would like to find the financing to reinstate the Nurses' Ball as a tribute to Robin and as a way to help Patrick and Emma miss Robin a little less, if Patrick did not object.

Before Patrick could answer, Britt walked in and ripped off her top, revealing a scanty pink bra. She excused the interruption as she announced that she was covered in puke. Her trousers quickly followed, uncovering a tiny black bikini bottom. As Patrick tried not to look, Britt flaunted her body and said that she had had a great time with Patrick on Halloween. Patrick reciprocated her sentiment. With her focus on Patrick, Britt threw her dirty scrubs at Sabrina and told her to get them cleaned.

When Sabrina mentioned having another Nurses' Ball as a tribute to Robin, Britt announced that it was a depressing idea and questioned if Patrick was interested. Patrick said that he thought it was a very good idea and offered to help Sabrina raise funds. Britt reversed her position and offered her help also. Britt then sent Sabrina to the laundry with her dirty scrubs, but before leaving, Sabrina reminded Patrick to thank Emma for the card.

Britt was curious, so Patrick told Britt about Sabrina's gift to Emma. Britt put on a formfitting black dress and offered her back to Patrick so that he could zip it up for her. As he did so, Britt asked if Patrick had made plans to sleep with her. When Patrick hesitated, Britt asked if she had been too forward. Patrick responded in the negative, so Britt added that she believed in asking for what she wanted, and what she wanted was Patrick.

11/14 Sabrina & Liz visit Tracy and ask her to fund the new Nurse’s Ball. She declines.

12/4 At the nurses' station, Sabrina asked Felix, if she had poppy seeds stuck between her teeth. Felix assured Sabrina that her teeth were fine, but he offered to give her a quick makeover for her date with Patrick. Sabrina assured him that it wasn't a date; she and Patrick were meeting to discuss the Nurses' Ball. Felix's interest was immediately piqued because he loved to sing and dance, so he offered to help with the Nurses' Ball. However, he insisted on first sprucing up Sabrina.

Felix produced a tube of Coco red velvet lipstick. Sabrina was startled that he carried lipstick on him, but Felix ignored her as he made her apply it. Sabrina confessed that she hoped that the charity event would give Patrick some comfort because he was still grieving for his wife, Robin. Felix thought that Patrick had recently started to date "Dr. West Nile," so Sabrina explained that Patrick wasn't ready to move on yet and that Dr. Westbourne wasn't the right woman for Patrick.

At Metro Court Restaurant, Patrick held out a chair for Sabrina, who had removed all signs of the bright red lipstick. Sabrina was impressed with the elegant restaurant, so Patrick admitted that he was tired of the cafeteria. Sabrina smiled nervously and pulled out a list of potential sponsors for the Nurses' Ball. She admitted that she had compiled a list of names of the top one percent who had raised the ransom money to pay Jerry Jacks. Patrick reminded Sabrina that Tracy had already turned them down, so Sabrina scratched Tracy's name from the list.

Next, Patrick revealed that most of Carly Jacks's money had been tied up in the hotel, and that it was Carly's ex-husband who had helped to pay the ransom. Patrick warned Sabrina that Sonny wasn't a viable candidate, either, because Sonny was a mobster. He rejected Johnny for the same reason. Sabrina was curious what he knew about Todd Manning, so Patrick confessed that Todd hadn't given him the impression of being a philanthropist.

Sabrina was disappointed about Sonny because she had seen pictures of Sonny and Robin together in the photo album that Emma had showed her of the previous Nurses' Balls. Patrick admitted that Robin had considered Sonny to be a friend, but Sonny had once stood in Patrick's home and fired a gun, while Robin had been in the house. Patrick revealed that Robin had forgiven Sonny, but Sabrina saw the sadness in Patrick's eyes. She reached out to hold his hand and assured him that it was okay and that he didn't have anything to be sorry for.

12/7 In the locker room, Sabrina practiced what she planned to say to Todd about the Nurses' Ball. She looked in the mirror and gave herself a quick pep talk to remind herself that she was a poised and confident person. Todd called the human resources department again to find out where his new assistant was. Sabrina entered Todd's office, so he assumed that she was his new assistant. He quickly handed her a stack of files and barked orders at her. Sabrina was happy to help out, but she wanted to discuss the Nurses' Ball when she was finished. Todd appeared confused, so Sabrina explained that they'd had an appointment to talk about Todd underwriting the Nurses' Ball, which raised money for AIDS research.

"That's so '80s and '90s," Todd complained. According to Todd, everyone had become educated, and that the disease was curable with the right cocktail. Sabrina agreed that people lived longer, but she warned Todd that there were still millions of people dying annually. Todd was unmoved, so she accused him of being heartless. Todd claimed that he was financially broke after paying Jerry Jacks's ransom demand. Meanwhile, Patrick stopped outside of Todd's office, unseen, when he heard Sabrina and Todd exchange words.

Sabrina accused Todd of being a fool because she was certain that he would eventually regret not being a part of something big that would save lives and pay tribute to a young woman who everyone in town had loved. Sabrina gathered her things and started to leave, but Todd called her back. He handed her a file, which he claimed he desperately needed to be copied. Sabrina marched out of his office without a backward glance. Patrick followed her to the elevator and confessed that he was glad that he hadn't gone to the meeting because he would have punched Todd.

Later, at the hospital, Sabrina was downcast because she didn't know who else to ask to underwrite the ball. Patrick had faith in Sabrina and was certain that she would make the Nurses' Ball happen. After Britt left, Sabrina sat down and flipped through the Nurses' Ball photo album. Sabrina prayed for an answer and then noticed the picture of Lucy Coe. Sabrina wondered if perhaps Lucy could help.

12/10 In the General Hospital locker room, Sabrina looked over a Nurses' Ball scrapbook that Robin had assembled for Emma. She wondered out loud if Lucy Coe could be the fairy godmother that would save the day. Elizabeth overheard her and remarked that Lucy was not the fairy godmother type.

Elizabeth said that Lucy was one of a kind and proceeded to tell Sabrina about some of Lucy's escapades, including how she had married Alan in a red dress, had shown up at Lila's funeral in a red dress, was a big flirt, and had auctioned off her clothes in an impromptu striptease when donations at one of the Nurses' Balls had lagged. Sabrina thought that Lucy sounded interesting and wondered how to reach Lucy, after Elizabeth said that she was sure that Lucy would help if she could.

Felix, who had been eavesdropping, said that he knew Lucy, because he worked as a sales rep for her company, CoeCo, selling cosmetics to help pay for his nursing school tuition. Felix wanted creative control, top billing, an assistant, and a private dressing room in exchange for an introduction to Lucy, but settled for Sabrina's offer to take bedpan duty for two months. Elizabeth was impressed by Sabrina's selflessness and determination to make the Nurses' Ball a reality.

12/17 Sabrina and Felix journeyed to CoeCoe headquarters in New York City to meet with Lucy Coe about the Nurses' Ball. Sabrina was nervous about meeting Lucy. Felix tried to calm her down as he told stories, which were seen in flashbacks, about Lucy the librarian and Lucy's red dress wedding. Sabrina became even more nervous when Felix admitted that he had embellished his relationship to Lucy, who he had never met, and that the reason that he knew so much about her was because he had read Lucy's biography.

Felix encouraged Sabrina to be strong, but as they were about to enter Lucy's office, senior VP Bree denied them entrance. Felix played his "top sales rep" card, but Bree told him she knew all the top producers, and Felix was not among them, and in fact, he was about to be replaced. Felix folded and was ready to leave, but Sabrina was made of stronger stuff.

Sabrina sat down and said that she would not leave until she was allowed to meet with Lucy because Lucy was the only one who could help them. Bree listened as Sabrina outlined the original purpose of the Nurses' Ball and Lucy's unstinting contributions to it. Bree was touched and allowed Sabrina and Felix access to Lucy, who appeared delighted to meet them.

12/18 At CoeCoe Cosmetics, Sabrina and Felix met infamous Lucy Coe. Lucy assumed the young couple was there because they were top-selling sales representatives, known as "Golden Ducks," so she invited them to call her Lucy. Sabrina revealed that they lived in Port Charles and had sought Lucy out because they needed Lucy's help with the Nurses' Ball. Lucy smiled as she confessed that she had fond memories of the annual event. Sabrina admitted that she had heard that Lucy had been a driving force behind the ball, so Sabrina had hoped that Lucy would agree to underwrite the event.

Lucy confessed that she was strapped for cash, so she suggested that Sabrina and Felix approach people like the Quartermaines, Todd Manning, and even Sonny Corinthos. Sabrina revealed that, for various reasons, none of the people that Lucy had mentioned could help. Sabrina and Felix pointed out that Lucy had a successful cosmetics empire, so they couldn't understand why Lucy couldn't help.

Sabrina insisted that it was more important than ever to host the Nurses' Ball because Robin had died the past spring. Lucy had known Robin and had heard about the tragedy. Sabrina revealed that Robin's brilliant neurosurgeon husband was committed to keeping Robin's legacy alive to ensure that Robin's life had stood for something. Sabrina decided to call Patrick so that Lucy could talk to him, but Patrick's voicemail picked up. Lucy explained that it wouldn't help to talk to Patrick because her assets had been frozen. Sabrina and Felix were shocked.

Lucy confided that she had been accused of setting up a pyramid scheme. Lucy assured them that the charges were false, but she wouldn't have access to her money in time to help with the Nurses' Ball. Sabrina and Felix were disappointed, but Sabrina decided to leave her phone number with Lucy in case something changed. "Red velvet cupcake," Lucy said as she studied Sabrina's coloring. Later, Lucy thought about the past Nurses' Balls that she had emceed. Afterwards, she picked up the piece of paper with Sabrina's phone number scribbled on it.

12/21 Sabrina stammered as she tried to tell Patrick the truth about not having the funding for the ball, but Felix spotted Lucy approaching the nurses' station. Lucy warmly greeted Sabrina and hugged Felix. Lucy quickly offered her condolences as she told Patrick that Robin had been a bright light in her life. Sabrina smiled with relief when Lucy announced that she was eager to get working on the Nurses' Ball.

12/28 Lucy arrived and apologized for her tardiness. Britt hid her annoyance behind a polite smile. Lucy assured Sabrina that she had a lot of ideas for the ball, but Sabrina pointed out that they needed funding. Lucy agreed, but admitted that she wasn't in a position to fund the ball. Sabrina was dejected because it meant that the ball wouldn't happen. Moments later, Tracy and A.J. exited the elevator. Lucy announced that even though she couldn't underwrite the ball, ELQ would. Patrick and Sabrina smiled when Lucy informed them that either Tracy or A.J. would write a check to fund the ball.

1/10 Lucy entered the Floating Rib and asked for the address. Mac recognized her voice, so he turned to greet her. Lucy cheerfully hugged Mac and asked if he was working undercover. Mac chuckled as he revealed that his sister-in-law, Anna, was the new police commissioner. Lucy was disappointed that he had left the police force, but Mac assured Lucy that it was fine because he enjoyed working behind the bar.

Mac and Lucy reminisced about the past when she had rented an apartment above the Outback, Mac's nightclub. Mac offered to fetch Lucy a glass of Felicia's favorite chardonnay, prompting Lucy to smile. She was happy that Mac and Felicia were still together. Mac conceded that it had been a bumpy road, and then changed the subject by asking why Lucy was in town. Lucy told him that she intended to get the Nurses' Ball off the ground, which pleased Mac.

Lucy apologized that she had not made it to Robin's funeral, but she insisted that the Nurses' Ball would be a fitting tribute to Robin. Mac agreed, but he was curious who was going to sponsor it. Lucy smiled as she confided that one of the Quartermaines would underwrite it.

A short time later, Tracy arrived at the bar. Lucy was surprised that Tracy would enter the establishment, so Tracy revealed that the bar had the best ribs in town.Tracy ordered a martini and ribs, but Lucy warned Tracy that it would take more than that to get Lucy's vote. "Will this do?" Tracy asked as she handed Lucy some documents.

Tracy explained that ELQ was prepared to buy out CoeCoe Cosmetics, but Lucy admitted that concerns about an ingredient in her red lipstick line had forced her to liquidate the company. Tracy was startled when Lucy announced her intention to become ELQ's new CEO. Tracy informed Lucy that it was not an option, so Lucy threatened to cast her vote with A.J. if Tracy didn't agree to let Lucy be "Coe-CEO," as Lucy spelled it clearly.

A.J. told Liz about his plan to oust Tracy as CEO of ELQ with Lucy's help. Moments later, Tracy and Lucy entered the conference room and proudly announced that they had reached an agreement, so Lucy intended to give her vote to Tracy. A.J. was stunned. He warned Lucy that it was a grave mistake because Tracy would take Lucy down when the Securities and Exchange Commission investigated Tracy, but Tracy argued that she hadn't done anything wrong. A.J. desperately tried to persuade Lucy to change her mind, but Lucy explained that she was at a crossroads and that Tracy had made an attractive offer.mFrustrated, A.J. stormed out of the conference room.

Lucy got the meeting started by officially introducing herself and then announcing that Tracy had agreed to underwrite the Nurses' Ball. Lucy realized that Tracy hadn't signed the check, so she handed the check to Tracy for a signature.

1/24 Felix gushed about Carly's new haircut and praised her for not allowing Todd to get the best of her. Sabrina quickly apologized for Felix's bluntness, but Carly took it in stride. Felix was curious if Todd had seen Carly's new look, so Carly admitted that she had gone to Todd's arraignment to make certain that Todd knew what Todd would be missing. Felix suggested that Sabrina do the same with Patrick.

Carly was surprised that Sabrina was dating Patrick, so Sabrina quickly clarified that they weren't. Felix revealed that Patrick was dating "the Britch." Carly was curious about the nickname, so Felix filled Carly in on why he didn't like Britt. Afterwards, Felix pulled the clip out of Sabrina's hair, ripped off her eyeglasses, and unbuttoned the top few buttons of Sabrina's top to show Sabrina how easy it would be to update her look like Carly had. Sabrina took back her eyeglasses and reminded Felix that Patrick was interested in Britt.

Carly pointed out that perhaps Patrick only went out with Britt because Britt had been the first woman to make a move on him. Carly suggested that Sabrina show Patrick that he had other options. Felix was impressed with Carly's advice, so he was curious why she had fallen for Todd's lies. Carly admitted that she had wanted to believe Todd, so Felix advised Carly and Sabrina to find men who respected, valued, and treated them as divinely as they deserved.

Carly insisted that she needed a break from men, but Felix thought that she should consider pursuing a relationship with the man who had stayed with her during her drunken meltdown. "A.J.?" Carly asked, horrified. Carly explained that A.J. was not an option because she only felt a murderous rage towards him. Felix was curious why she had spent the night with A.J., so Carly made it clear that she had not had sex with A.J. and that he had only stuck around to laugh at her.

Carly then changed the subject by reminding them that they had business to attend to. Sabrina was grateful that Carly had donated Metro Court's ballroom for the Nurses' Ball. Carly confessed that she and Robin hadn't been friends, but a lot of people that Carly had cared about had been close to Robin. Sabrina was certain that Patrick would appreciate Carly's generosity. Carly insisted that Patrick was a good guy. "Maybe worth hanging in there for," Carly added with a gentle smile.

Later, Carly handed the signed contracts to Felix and Sabrina. Felix suggested that Carly consider taking A.J. to the ball, so Carly explained that she and A.J. had a child, whom A.J. had kidnapped, and then A.J. had faked his death to avoid prosecution for the kidnapping. Felix pointed out that there was a fine line between love and hate, but Carly simply glared at Felix.

1/31 Sabrina revealed that the bank had called to notify her that a stop payment had been put on Tracy's check for the Nurses' Ball. Patrick wondered why, so Elizabeth showed him the newspaper reporting the ELQ scandal. Britt explained that ELQ had been involved in a serious financial scandal, so it appeared that the Nurses' Ball was over before it had started.

3/15 Lucy breezed in and announced that they had a Nurses Ball to plan. Elizabeth, Sabrina, and Felix tactfully reminded Lucy that they had lost ELQ's backing, but Lucy waved away their concerns and ordered them to sit. Lucy passed out binders and explained that they had partnered with the American Foundation for AIDS Research. Elizabeth wondered if AMFAR was aware that they'd had problems funding the ball, but Lucy insisted that it didn't matter because they needed to focus on impressing everyone. Moments later, Elizabeth's phone rang, so she excused herself and left the room. Sabrina and Felix continued to express concerns about paying for Lucy's ideas, but Lucy ignored them.

Elizabeth returned to the conference room and asked what she had missed. "Not much," Lucy admitted before discussing the centerpieces for the tables at the Nurses Ball. Elizabeth decided that perhaps they should consider a fundraiser to help sponsor the Nurses Ball. Lucy assured them that it wasn't necessary then pulled out a check that would cover all of their expenses.

Elizabeth, Sabrina, and Felix jumped out of their seats and closely examined the check. Felix confirmed that it was real, but they were curious who had sent it. Lucy confessed that it had been an anonymous donor. Elizabeth thanked Felix for running interference with A.J. at the hospital. She confessed that she hadn't been in the mood to deal with A.J. or his lies.

Felix changed the subject by revealing that he wanted to ask "Magic Milo" to perform with him. He was disappointed when Elizabeth warned him that Milo couldn't sing. She then grumbled about why A.J. had hooked up with the woman who had ruined A.J.'s life. Elizabeth also couldn't understand why A.J. continued to pursue her if he wanted to be with Carly.

Felix suggested that perhaps A.J. had ditched Carly because A.J. had realized that A.J. wanted Elizabeth. Felix then returned to the topic of Milo. Felix thought perhaps Milo could lip-sync shirtless, so that the audience wouldn't notice. Elizabeth's ignored Felix as she confided that A.J. had a better chance being Sonny's best man at the wedding than getting near Elizabeth again. Seconds later, Felix spotted A.J. entering the bar.

Elizabeth turned and looked up into A.J.'s smiling face. She tried to ignore A.J. by discussing plans for the Nurses Ball with Felix. Desperate to talk to Elizabeth, A.J. boldly offered to perform a skit. Felix quickly recovered from the surprise and invited Elizabeth to continue their discussion in private. Elizabeth collected her things, but A.J. vowed that he was not going to give up on her. Elizabeth advised A.J. to reconsider and suggested that he return to his "bed-buddy."

3/27 At Metro Court, Lucy thanked Carly for donating the ballroom for the Nurses Ball. Carly explained that the ballroom had been renovated, so she was eager to show it off. Lucy was speechless when Carly threw open the doors for Lucy, Sabrina, and Felix to have their first look. Lucy instantly fell in love with the venue because it was spectacular and sophisticated. Carly noticed that Felix was subdued, so she asked him what was wrong. Lucy vowed to make the Nurses Ball the best one ever, so she put Felix and Sabrina to work on the seating plan.

Moments later, Michael entered, so Carly greeted her son with a hug. Carly was surprised when Michael revealed that Lucy had persuaded him to perform at the Nurses Ball. Michael admitted that he was nervous because he had no idea what Lucy had in store for him, but Carly was confident that Michael would do well. Michael changed the subject by asking how his mother had been holding up.

Carly told Michael about the memorable speech that Robin had given during one of the Nurses Balls. The speech had been about Stone dying of AIDS and Robin testing positive for HIV. Carly recalled that Robin had nearly collapsed at the end of the emotional speech, so Jason had carried Robin off of the stage. Carly was certain that Jason would be proud of Michael for being a part of the charity event.

In the ballroom, Sabrina prepared to end things with Milo when Felix suddenly walked up and loudly proclaimed that he wanted to watch when Sabrina invited Milo to attend the Nurses Ball with her. Sabrina looked confused until Felix mouthed to her that it was okay. Sabrina smiled then asked Milo to be her date. Milo happily agreed.

3/28 In the ballroom, Sam arrived with Molly and T.J. in tow as Lucy gathered everyone to rehearse the opening number for the Nurses Ball. However, Lucy spotted Molly, so she ran over to greet and hug Molly. Molly and Sam introduced Lucy to T.J. then explained that they wanted to help out. Lucy was delighted because they needed people to work behind-the-scenes. Molly and T.J. went to work, while Lucy talked excitedly to Sam about the celebrity choreographer that Lucy had enlisted to help with the opening number.

Milo confessed to Sabrina that he had been worried about her phone call because he had expected her to tell him that she wasn't interested in going out with him again. Sabrina assured him that the thought hadn't crossed her mind. Milo offered to help out setting things up for the Nurses Ball, so Sabrina sent him to work with the lighting crew. After Milo left, Sabrina admitted to Felix that she felt lucky to have a date with Milo.

Felix was surprised when Sabrina revealed that she had decided not to go out with Milo for the sake of her friendship with Felix. Felix confessed that Carly had made him realize that his friendship with Sabrina was more important than some guy. Sabrina regretted that she had hurt Milo, but she had been determined to get over Patrick. Felix insisted that it had been his fault for falling for another straight guy.

Moments later, Lucy called out for Elizabeth. Lucy became frustrated when Epiphany explained that Elizabeth had been needed at the hospital. Lucy couldn't understand why another nurse, who hadn't volunteered to be a part of the Nurses Ball, couldn't have taken Elizabeth's place at the hospital. Epiphany refused to answer the question, so Lucy took some calming breaths then announced that a surprise celebrity choreographer had agreed to work on the opening number.

Everyone smiled with anticipation. As if on cue, fitness expert Richard Simmons appeared in the doorway. Everyone applauded, while Lucy ran over to greet Richard with a warm hug. Richard set down his boom box then joined Lucy on the stage. Lucy explained that Richard had lived in Port Charles years earlier and had taught exercise classes at the campus disco that Luke Spencer had run. Richard admitted that his favorite nurse had been Amy Vining because Amy had loved to gossip with him after the classes about the Webber, Spencer, and Quartermaine families.

Richard announced that he had written a special song for the Nurses Ball, so he offered to share a part of it with the gathered volunteers. Everyone clapped, so Richard asked someone to hit play on the boom box. A disco-style rap song suddenly filled the room as Richard Simmons directed everyone in a group dance. Everyone's smile began to fade as the rap lyrics sank in.

"It started out in Port Charles town, where Frank Smith's mob used to hang around. It had names and numbers all in code, so Luke and Laura had to hit the road. They had to find the left-handed boy. Watch their step, they had to be coy. Ooh, Monica likes to have her fun. Told Rick he was the dad, soon found out that he'd been had. Alan was the father, of course, and he won't give Monica a divorce. Rick wants to get Lesley back; Heather's having an insane attack."

Sabrina wondered if the rap had been about their chief of staff, Monica Quartermaine. Epiphany admitted that it had sounded like it. Horrified, Lucy ran over to the boom box to turn it off. Richard was offended and demanded to know what was wrong with his song. Lucy informed Richard that it couldn't be used, but Richard argued that it was poetry, had a "great sexy" '80s beat, and, according to Richard, was the complete truth.

Lucy explained that they couldn't flaunt the town's secrets, but Richard insisted that the "stupid" town's secrets weren't secrets. Lucy refused to embarrass Monica. "Who cares about her?" Richard angrily demanded as the nurses glared at him. Lucy and Richard proceeded to scream at each other until Lucy suggested that Richard change the lyrics. Richard demanded to know where Bobbie Spencer was because he was certain that his friend would back him up. Lucy doubted that Bobbie would jeopardize the Nurses Ball by playing a tasteless song about 30-year-old gossip.

Richard insisted on talking to the head nurse about firing Lucy. Epiphany made it clear that as much as she liked the beat of the song, she objected to the unflattering lyrics. Richard became infuriated when everyone voted to change the lyrics, so he decided that if his song was out then he would walk. Sabrina cried out in dismay as Milo put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"Who are you, little girl?" Richard cruelly cackled at Sabrina. Lucy informed Richard that Sabrina was the reason for the return of the Nurses Ball. Sabrina suggested that perhaps there was a way to change the lyrics without compromising the integrity of the song, but Richard refused to bend. He gathered his boom box then stormed out. Lucy insisted that "the show must go on." Everyone slowly returned to what they had been working on. Milo sat down to chat with T.J. about Sabrina and Milo's fear that Patrick was interested in her. T.J. insisted that nice guys always finished last, so Milo should do whatever was necessary to hold on to Sabrina.

Meanwhile, Sabrina lamented about their lack of a choreographer and opening number, so T.J. suggested that Molly write the song lyrics, while T.J. work on the music. He reminded everyone that Molly had written a novel and revealed that he enjoyed writing music. Moments later, Anton offered to step in as the choreographer. Lucy was skeptical, but Anton assured her that he had experience dancing. Lucy decided that she needed a demonstration, so Anton invited Sam to dance with him. Lucy explained that the best way to judge Anton's ability was for Lucy to dance with Anton. Anton agreed, so he pulled Lucy into his arms for a waltz.

Nearby, Milo heard Sabrina's phone ring, so he looked at the screen of the phone. He sent the call to voicemail when he saw that it was Patrick. Moments later, Milo deleted the voice mail message.

Nurse's Ball 2013 Dvd #6
Tuesday, April 2, 2013 GH 50th Anniversary

At the Quartermaine mansion, Monica informed Tracy that Tracy was no longer welcome to live in Monica's home. Tracy never understood why her brother had given the house to Monica. "If he wasn't already dead, I'd kill him myself," Tracy growled with frustration. "Here's your chance, Tracy," Alan replied as he appeared behind Tracy. Tracy had an expression of disbelief etched on her face as she faced Alan. However, Tracy quickly recovered then ordered Alan to leave her alone because she didn't have time to deal with a figment of her imagination.

"If Alan's a figment of your imagination, why do I see him too?" Monica asked in shock. Tracy's eyes rounded as she looked to her brother for answers. Alan strolled to the chair then sat down, so Monica told Tracy what she had seen Alan do. Tracy realized that Monica could see Alan, but it suddenly was no longer important to Tracy why they could both see Alan as long as they could. Tracy grabbed her brother's hand then told him how much she had missed him.

Monica walked up to lovingly caress Alan's face as she greeted her husband with tears of joy in her eyes. Monica asked if Alan was alive, so Alan explained, "Not quite." Monica didn't care because she was thrilled that he was there. Alan smiled as he warned Monica that he was about to make her happier. "Hi, Mom," Emily said as she suddenly appeared in the room. Tracy gaped with shock, while mother and daughter hugged.

Tracy questioned why Alan had appeared with Monica's "adopted waif" instead of Edward or Lila. Emily explained that Alan had needed backup, so he had asked Emily to help talk sense into Monica and Tracy. Monica and Tracy became defensive as they justified their actions. Alan and Emily patiently listened as Monica accused Tracy of sabotaging A.J. Tracy explained that A.J. had stolen her inheritance, but Monica remained unmoved and determined to toss Tracy out of the mansion.

Tracy doubted that Alan was there to approve of Monica's decision, so she asked him to tell Monica that Tracy was staying. Monica argued that Alan had never really cared for his sister, but Emily cut to the chase by suggesting that Monica and Tracy try to find a compromise. Tracy resented Emily interference, so Tracy reminded everyone that Alan and Tracy had despised each other's children. Monica disagreed because Alan had cared about Ned and Dillon. Tracy laughed at the suggestion that Alan had cared about Monica's ex-lover, Ned.

Tracy pointed out that Monica had a long history of affairs starting with Rick Webber. "No, no. Don't drag me into this," Rick said as he suddenly appeared in the room. Monica recovered from her shock then ran over to greet her old lover, Rick. Tracy was outraged that Alan hadn't done anything about Rick's unwelcome arrival, so Rick reminded Tracy that there wasn't much that Alan could do, since Rick was already dead.

Emily was equally annoyed with Rick's presence because Rick had seduced her married mother during quarantine at the hospital, while people had been dying all around them. Monica was stunned that Emily had known the details about the affair, so Emily admitted that they had a lot of "downtime" where Emily and Alan were. Tracy agreed with Emily's assessment about Rick and reminded Rick that he had been the one with a dead mistress in the attic. Tracy blasted Rick for what he and Scott had done because it had resulted in Laura's decade-long catatonic state.

Rick denied that things had happened the way that Tracy assumed, but insisted that he was there to bury the hatchet with Alan, not to discuss what had happened with Laura. Rick conceded that he and Alan had been lousy to each other, which no longer made sense, given their present state. Rick offered to let bygones be bygones and held out his hand. Monica beamed with joy when Alan shook Rick's hand. Emily suggested that if Alan and Rick could make peace then Monica and Tracy could. Monica and Tracy looked reluctant, but Emily pressed for a compromise because Alan had gone through a lot of trouble for Monica and Tracy.

Monica wondered if Alan really wanted her to let Tracy remain in the mansion, so Alan confessed that he did. Tracy smiled victoriously until Emily informed Tracy that it was Tracy's turn to make a concession by calling a truce with Monica. Tracy reluctantly agreed, so Monica and Tracy shook on it. Emily thought that a hug would be more appropriate, so she urged them to hug. Monica and Tracy refused, so Alan, Rick, and Emily threatened to haunt them if they didn't hug. Monica and Tracy stubbornly dug in their heels, even when Emily explained that she needed to see Nikolas.

Alan begged Monica and Tracy to hug until they relented then awkwardly hugged with their eyes squeezed shut. Moments later, Tracy opened her eyes and announced that their visitors had left. Monica and Tracy quickly jumped apart and tried to make sense of what had just happened. Tracy attributed the entire event to a dream, but Monica insisted that they could barely stand to be around each other. "Now we're sharing dreams?" Monica asked in disbelief. Tracy wondered if Monica had a better explanation. "What the hell was in that relish?" Monica asked.

At Greystone Manor, Sonny was surprised when he saw Brenda standing on his doorstep. "Hey, Brenda," Sonny said. She smiled at him and asked if she could enter. He invited her in then led her to the parlor. After Brenda sat down, Sonny asked why she was there. She confessed that she wanted to make sure that they could be civil to each other during the Nurses' Ball the following day.

Brenda saw the scorn in Sonny's expression, which she suspected stemmed from her not attending Robin's funeral. Brenda didn't offer an explanation, but she admitted that it was difficult to believe that a year had passed since her friend's tragic death. Sonny and Brenda reminisced about Robin until Brenda revealed that she had entrusted Robin with a letter that Brenda had asked to be given to Sonny when the time was right. "What letter?" Sonny asked.

Brenda knew that Sonny had been given the letter. Sonny recalled looking at the letter, but explained that it had been a difficult time in his life, so Jason had "handled it." Brenda wasn't surprised because Jason had been good for things like that. Sonny's temper flared as he asked her if she had been told about Jason's death. Brenda's tone softened as she admitted that Michael had called her. She offered Sonny her condolences but then returned to the topic of the letter.

Brenda wanted to know why Sonny hadn't answered it. Sonny admitted that he hadn't read it because he hadn't thought that it would make a difference. Brenda tearfully disagreed and explained that it would have changed everything. Sonny doubted that the letter had had the power to save their marriage, so she told him what it had said.

"Dear Sonny, I know things are bad right now. That would be an understatement, but I just want you to know that I did what I thought was right for my son," Brenda recounted. She explained that she had written that she had hated how vengeful and angry he had become, so she had been forced to make her son a priority by leaving. However, Brenda had hoped that time apart would help them both find perspective. She assured Sonny that she had never intended to give up on their marriage.

"I'm your wife, and I want to be with you," Brenda had written in the letter to Sonny. She had believed that their marriage had been worth fighting for, so she had told him in the letter that she would wait for him in Rome. Brenda recalled how anxious she had been waiting for Sonny to join her, but the day had never arrived. Sonny realized that was when she had sent him the divorce papers. Brenda smiled sadly as she admitted that she had heard that Sonny had moved on.

Sonny confessed that he had, but the woman he loved was gone. He had no idea when his love would return, or if, like Brenda, she was lost to him forever. Sonny confided that he wouldn't be able to look at Brenda without wondering "What if...?" Brenda quietly revealed that she had stopped by for another reason; she had wanted to let Sonny know that she was engaged.

Carly was delighted when Jax turned up on her doorstep. She quickly invited him inside then asked him why he was in town. Jax explained that he needed to talk to her about something. Seconds later, Josslyn appeared at the bottom of the doorstep and called out to her father with excitement. Josslyn ran into her father's waiting arms, while Carly happily watched the reunion. Jax surprised his daughter with a tea set, which Josslyn promptly took to her bedroom to play with.

Carly doubted that Jax had flown to Port Charles to give Josslyn a tea set, so she was curious why Jax was there. Jax handed Carly new divorce papers to sign then explained that there had been a filing problem, so the state of New York didn't have a copy of their first divorce papers. Carly realized that they were still legally married. She wasn't surprised that their divorce had turned out as difficult as their attempt to get married.

Jax smiled as he and Carly reminisced about the number of times that they had postponed their wedding and Carly's decision not to have a maid of honor, so that Jason could be her best man. Jax sobered as he offered Carly his condolences on Jason's passing. Carly thanked Jax and admitted that she would always miss her best friend. Jax thought that Carly appeared to have handled Jason's death surprisingly well, so she confessed that she had finally learned to stand on her own two feet, which she hadn't thought possible.

Jax assured Carly that he had always known that she'd had it in her. Carly turned wistful as she wondered how their marriage had failed. Jax blamed Sonny for always getting between them. However, Jax confessed that he would always admire Carly because she was a fearless one-of-a-kind woman. Carly wondered if perhaps the file mix-up was a sign to give their marriage another try. Carly admitted that she had recently ended a relationship that had forced her to reevaluate what was important.

Jax admitted that he didn't want to be Carly's fallback guy, so she quickly assured him that he wasn't that. According to Carly, he was the guy -- the man that she kept trying to get over. Jax apologized then explained that he had discovered the mistake with their divorce papers because he had become engaged. Carly was stunned when he revealed that he intended to marry Brenda.

On the Haunted Star, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, Luke and Laura entered a dark cabin then spotted a person, whose head had been covered with a sack, tied to a chair. Laura assumed that it was Lulu as Luke raced over to remove the sack. Luke and Laura were startled when they saw Ethan sitting in the chair. Luke quickly removed Ethan's gag. "Hi, Dad," Ethan said as Luke went to work untying Ethan.

Laura explained that Lulu had been kidnapped, so they had been looking for their daughter. Ethan realized that he was on the Haunted Star, so Luke explained that Dante had Helena and a couple of her henchmen held at gunpoint in the nightclub. Luke and Laura helped Ethan to his feet as the door suddenly slammed shut and was locked. Luke hoped that Dante could hold off Helena and her goons, so he went to work finding something to pick the lock with. "Never a dull moment with those Cassadines," Ethan remarked.

Laura was curious how Ethan had been captured, so Ethan told her that he had been staying at Lucky's flat in Dublin. Laura feared that Helena had abducted Lucky, too, but Ethan assured her that Lucky hadn't been at the apartment. According to Ethan, Lucky had decided to go to Africa to help orphaned children, which was something that Lucky had been thinking about for a while. Luke was curious if Helena had given any clue as to what had happened to Lulu.

Ethan explained that he had listened to a message from Nikolas warning Ethan that they were in danger when Helena and her thugs had appeared. Ethan hadn't heard the entire message, so he had no idea where Lulu might be. Ethan admitted that Helena had been disappointed that she had missed Lucky, but she had been content to use Ethan to keep Luke distracted. Luke grumbled that Helena and her "winged monkeys" had been working overtime to get to Luke's children; however, he was curious what Helena hoped to keep Luke distracted from.

Luke and Laura told Ethan about the replica of the Ice Princess that Helena had left for Lulu. Ethan wondered why Helena would want Lulu, since Helena had never expressed an interest in his sister before. Laura suspected that Helena had hoped to hurt both Luke and Laura, prompting a snarky remark from Ethan about Helena. Laura chuckled because Ethan had sounded just like his father. Luke warned Laura and Ethan that they would likely be outnumbered when he opened the door, so they would have to work together.

Laura hoped that it wouldn't be a problem for Ethan, but he assured her that he didn't have an issue with it because he loved his sister. However, Ethan wanted Laura to know that he deeply regretted any pain that he might have caused her by the revelation that he was Luke's son. Luke made it clear that Ethan was never to apologize for his existence. Laura assured Ethan that she had no ill will towards him, especially since Lucky and Lulu had made it clear that they each loved their brother. Moments later, Helena, flanked by two of her lackeys, burst into the cabin.

Helena and the henchmen led Luke, Laura, and Ethan at gunpoint to the deck of the ship. Laura demanded to know where Dante was. Laura feared the worst when Helena bragged that Dante hadn't been a match for a Cassadine. Ethan was curious what Helena's intention was, so Helena explained that they shouldn't underestimate a mother's need to avenge her sons. Luke told Helena to "shut up" about her sons and tell him where Dante was. Helena cryptically informed them that Dante wouldn't be a problem.

Helena reminded everyone that she had been about to shoot Laura when they had been rudely interrupted. Luke offered his life in exchange for Laura's, so Helena decided that she would not shoot anyone. "Laura is," Helena added.

At the hospital, Audrey approached her granddaughter as Elizabeth exited Nikolas' room. Audrey explained that she had stopped by the hospital to check on Elizabeth and to watch as Elizabeth's grandfather's portrait was hung in the boardroom in honor of what would have been Steve Hardy's 50th anniversary at the hospital. Elizabeth felt terrible that she had forgotten what day it was, but Audrey reminded her granddaughter that Elizabeth had had a lot on her mind because of Nikolas.

Elizabeth thought that there should have been more done for Steve than simply hanging a portrait of him in the boardroom because her grandfather had been the heart and soul of General Hospital. Audrey pointed out that Steve wouldn't have wanted anyone to make a fuss over him. Elizabeth felt bad that the rest of the family couldn't be there to mark the special anniversary, since Elizabeth's sister, Sarah, was in Monterey; Elizabeth's parents were in Asia; Audrey's son, Tom, was in Africa; and his son, Tommy, had recently finished medical school. Elizabeth confided that if her cousin were anything like the rest of the Hardys then Tommy would soon be practicing medicine in some exotic locale. Audrey hugged Elizabeth as Elizabeth smiled sadly.

"We really are scattered, aren't we?" Elizabeth asked.However, Elizabeth was certain that her grandfather would be thrilled that so many of the Hardys had followed in Steve's footsteps by pursuing a career in the medical field. Audrey sensed that Elizabeth remained troubled, so Elizabeth confessed that she wished that their family had made more of an effort to remain in touch because it got lonely sometimes, especially with her brother, Steve, gone. Audrey reminded Elizabeth that Elizabeth still had her "Gram." Elizabeth smiled lovingly at Audrey as she confessed that she had no idea what she would do without her grandmother.

Later, Elizabeth explained that Alexis had decided to spend the night in Nikolas' hospital room, so Elizabeth was ready to pick up the boys then head home. Audrey wanted to see her great-grandsons, so she decided to go to the daycare center with Elizabeth.

At the first floor nurses' station, Patrick greeted the new interns. He pointed to the portrait of Steve Hardy as he explained that Steve had been General Hospital's first and best chief of staff and that they were all there because of Steve. Patrick revealed that Steve had died in 1996, but doctors continued to aspire to be like Dr. Hardy, although most realized that it was impossible. One of the interns wondered if Patrick had worked with Dr. Hardy, so Patrick revealed that Dr. Alan Quartermaine had been the chief of staff when Patrick had started working at the hospital.

Patrick led the interns on a tour of the hospital as he told them that the current chief of staff was Dr. Monica Quartermaine. An intern was curious if Monica was related to Alan, so Patrick explained that Monica was Alan's widow. Another intern recalled hearing about a "Mr. and Mrs. Intern" program. Patrick chuckled as he confirmed that the rumors about the program were true. Patrick then informed the interns that doctors might be the brains of the hospital, but the nurses' were the heart.

Epiphany praised Patrick for the insightful remark. Epiphany told the interns about the Nurses' Ball and its purpose. Patrick let the interns know that they were permitted to attend for free. After Epiphany ordered the interns to get to work, Patrick and Epiphany returned to the nurses' station. They talked about Patrick's own days as an intern and his desire to leave a lasting legacy for a new generation of doctors. Epiphany wondered if Patrick was up to the challenge. "I guess we'll have to ask someone in fifty years, won't we?" Patrick replied.

Later, Audrey and Elizabeth stood before Steve's portrait as Patrick walked up. Patrick hoped that the portrait had met with Audrey's approval, so she assured him that it had. Patrick confessed that it would be intimidating to have Steve watching over them during the board meetings. Elizabeth suddenly recalled that Audrey's golden anniversary was right around the corner. "Well, I guess it is," Audrey replied.

Audrey thought about a time, many years before, when she had danced with Steve. Steve had nervously asked her how he had been doing. She returned to the present as Elizabeth told Patrick that Audrey and Steve had had quite a love story. According to Audrey, life was filled with stories crossing over each other. Patrick agreed because he had often wondered if Robin would have sought him out if his father, Noah, hadn't worked at General Hospital. Patrick insisted that the hospital had changed lives, including his own.

Elizabeth thought about how many lives had been touched by the hospital and how many stories had passed through General Hospital over the fifty years. "Stores of rivalries, stories of love, stores of heartbreak, stories that left us on the edge of our seats. The things about all those stories...we never know how they'll end," Patrick said. Moments later, Epiphany told Patrick that he was needed in the operating room.

Elizabeth smiled as she watched Patrick sprint away because it never ended. Audrey assured her granddaughter that Steve wouldn't have had it any other way. Audrey approached Steve's portrait then touchingly said, "My Rock of Gibraltar. Happy anniversary, Darling." Everyone gathered around the nurses' station began to clap. The episode ended with a message from everyone at General Hospital: "Happy 50th Anniversary General Hospital. Thank you to all of our fans for your decades of support!"

4/3 At the hospital, Patrick recalled leaving Sabrina a message requesting that she return his call because he wanted to talk to her about something important. Patrick returned to the present to check his phone. He was disappointed when he saw that there hadn't been any missed calls or new voicemail messages from Sabrina. Moments later, Patrick bumped into Elizabeth. He was surprised because he had thought that she had left.

In the ballroom, Lucy supervised everyone as they worked to set things up for the Nurses' Ball. Felix became distracted watching Milo help Sabrina with some wall hangings, so Lucy barked at Felix to get to work. Lucy confessed that she was worried because she hadn't seen the new choreographer yet. Felix was curious if she had been referring to Metro Court's handyman. Lucy nodded then confided that she hadn't realized that Richard Simmons had been such a diva.

Nearby, Molly struggled to write lyrics for the song that T.J. had composed. T.J. was curious how she was doing, so Molly explained that she felt pressured and couldn't find the right words. T.J. offered to give Molly some space to work, so he walked over to Milo.

In the hallway, Sam encountered the handyman who had agreed to choreograph the Nurses' Ball. They decided to officially introduce themselves, so the handyman revealed that his name was Anton Ivanov. He hoped to get an opportunity to dance with Sam, but she insisted that she wasn't a dancer. Anton pointed out that it was his job to teach her, so he promised to draw out the dancer in her. Sam recalled watching celebrities dance on a television show, so Anton revealed that some of the celebrities turned out to be very good dancers.

In the ballroom, T.J. remarked that things appeared to be going well between Sabrina and Milo. Milo confessed that he had done something underhanded to make certain that Patrick Drake didn't get between Sabrina and Milo. T.J. was impressed when Milo told him about the erased voicemail message, but Milo explained that he felt bad about what he had done. Sabrina walked up in time to hear the tail end of Milo and T.J.'s conversation, so she was curious why Milo felt bad.

Milo quickly changed the subject by offering to help Sabrina with another project. Moments later, Lucy called out to T.J. to join her on the stage. After T.J. walked away, Sabrina pushed for an answer because she had heard her name mentioned. Milo was saved from having to answer when Lucy asked everyone to gather at the stage to rehearse the opening number. Sabrina made it clear that she intended to continue their discussion later.

T.J. returned to Milo's side, while everyone gathered for the opening number. Milo confessed that he felt like he had dodged a bullet, but he remained uncomfortable about lying to Sabrina. T.J. argued that all was fair in love and war, but Milo explained that he didn't want Sabrina to be with him because Milo had manipulated and lied to her. Milo insisted that he wasn't a good liar, so he had decided to be honest with Sabrina.

Lucy was delighted when Anton entered the ballroom, so she asked Molly for the lyrics to the song. Molly explained that she had a rough draft ready, but it wasn't good. Lucy snatched the laptop out of Molly's hands to read the lyrics herself. Molly breathed a sigh of relief when Lucy announced that the lyrics were good. Next, Lucy had Anton listen to T.J.'s music to make certain that it would work for the opening number. Anton gave the music a thumbs-up, so Lucy decided to get the rehearsal underway.

Sam was happy that Molly's lyrics would be used for the Nurses' Ball. Molly hoped that their mother approved, especially since Alexis was worried about Nikolas. Molly confided that she hated being related to the Cassadines because all of them, except for Nikolas, were horrible. Sam insisted that Nikolas wouldn't want Molly to worry about the Cassadines.

Lucy asked Molly to step in for Epiphany and for Sam to take Elizabeth's place during the rehearsal, since neither nurse was there. Anton was pleased when Sam reluctantly agreed. Anton immediately took advantage of the opportunity by showing Sam how to move her hips.

Moments later, Elizabeth arrived. Sabrina quickly approached her friend to find out why Elizabeth had been late. Elizabeth revealed that she had been talking to Patrick, so Elizabeth was curious why Sabrina hadn't returned Patrick's phone call. Sabrina had no idea what Elizabeth was talking about, so Elizabeth advised Sabrina to talk to Patrick.

Nearby, Sam quickly left the stage when she saw Elizabeth. Anton was disappointed, but Sam explained that she preferred to work behind-the-scenes. Felix quickly jumped in to take Sam's place and ask Anton to show him some hip moves. A short time later, Felix took a break to gush to Lucy that he thought that Anton was into him. Meanwhile, Anton continued to flirt with Sam.

4/4 Bobbie arrived at Carly's house to pick Carly up for the Nurses Ball, but Carly announced that she had more important plans. Bobbie couldn't imagine what could be more important than the Nurses Ball, prompting Carly to recall the conversation that Carly had overheard between Sonny and Brenda the previous evening. Bobbie sensed that Carly was plotting something, so Carly admitted that she was simply protecting the innocent and making certain that the guilty were punished.

In Jax and Brenda's suite, Jax showered, while Brenda thought about her talk with Sonny when Sonny had confessed that he had been afraid to read the letter that she had given to Robin because he had been in a freefall after Brenda had walked out on their marriage. Jax entered the room and immediately noticed that Brenda had seemed distracted. Jax was curious what Brenda had been thinking about, so she admitted that she hated his ex-wife for not signing the divorce papers.

Jax assured Brenda that Carly would give him the signed divorce papers at the Nurses Ball. Brenda imagined that Carly hadn't reacted well to the news about the engagement, so Jax revealed that Carly had accused Brenda of agreeing to marry Jax to get a reaction out of Sonny. Jax also confessed that Carly had been certain that Brenda had gone to Sonny's house to try to reconcile with Sonny.

Later, Jax was curious why Brenda wasn't ready for the ball. Brenda confessed that she hated getting ready for events like the ball because it reminded her of her modeling days. Jax pointed out that she was only attending the event, so she could relax and enjoy the evening. Brenda disagreed because she suspected that she would have to deal with Carly all evening.

Brenda couldn't understand why Carly couldn't focus on Carly's own "pathetic" life, so Jax explained that Carly was just protective of him because Carly feared that Brenda would hurt him. Brenda couldn't believe that Jax had defended Carly to her, but Jax assured Brenda that he had made it clear to Carly that Brenda loved him and didn't have any intention of rekindling things with Sonny.

"Right? I mean, you weren't at Sonny's last night, were you?" Jax asked as someone knocked on the door. Brenda assured him that she hadn't been at Sonny's house as she opened the door. Carly stood on the doorstep with a smug smile. Brenda demanded to know what Carly was doing there, so Carly claimed that she was there to make certain that Brenda and Jax were satisfied with their room. Brenda insisted that all they needed from Carly was for Carly to hand over the signed divorce papers.

Carly promised to give Jax the signed divorce papers at the ball, but Carly expected Jax to have a million-dollar check for Carly. "Excuse me?" Jax asked. Carly told Brenda about the bet that Carly had made with Jax and then admitted that she had heard Brenda's denial about visiting Sonny. Carly informed Jax that Brenda had been at Sonny's house the previous evening; Carly knew that because Carly had gone to Sonny's house after Jax had left and had overheard Brenda asking Sonny for reconciliation. "Have fun at the ball," Carly cheerily said as she sailed out of the room.

Jax demanded to know if what Carly had said was true. Brenda insisted that Carly couldn't be trusted because Carly wanted to break them up. Jax pushed for an answer until Brenda tearfully admitted that she had gone to Sonny's house to tell him about the engagement. Jax was furious and wanted to know why she had lied to him. Brenda insisted that she hadn't wanted to upset Jax, but Jax wanted to know if Brenda had tried to work things out with Sonny.

Brenda explained that she had wanted closure because she had written Sonny a letter that she had assumed that Sonny had read. Jax realized that Brenda had wanted Sonny to work things out with her, so Brenda quietly admitted that it was true. Jax refused to spend another minute with Brenda, but Brenda desperately tried to salvage her relationship with Jax by suggesting that they skip the ball and leave town. She begged Jax not to let Carly break them up, but Jax confessed that Carly had saved him from making a huge mistake.

Jax credited Carly with making him see that Brenda was irreparably damaged and that he couldn't save her. Brenda refused to believe that it was over, so Jax walked out. Carly returned home and discovered Sonny, dressed in a tuxedo, sitting in her living room. She was curious when he had started to let himself into her home, so he revealed that it was only fair since she had entered his home uninvited the previous evening. Sonny held up the scarf that Carly had dropped while she had been eavesdropping on his private conversation with Brenda. Carly told Sonny about Jax's visit and her certainty that Brenda had been at Sonny's house. Sonny insisted that it was none of Carly's business, but Carly disagreed because Jax was Josslyn's father.

Sonny argued that Carly had no right to spy on him, but Carly was certain that Sonny would want to know if his and Jax's roles had been reversed. Sonny argued that it wasn't about him, so she needed to stay out of Jax and Brenda's business. Carly revealed that it was too late because she had told Jax about Brenda's visit with Sonny. Carly didn't want Jax to end up brokenhearted because Brenda was addicted to Sonny.

Sonny started to leave, but Carly asked him to wait for her because she wanted to attend the ball with him. She promised him that she only needed ten minutes to get ready, so he sat back down on the sofa. Pleased, Carly confessed that she looked forward to the evening because she had saved her ex-husband from a "man-eating snake."

Duke stood in the doorway of the ballroom, watching Lucy rehearse one of the dance numbers for the Nurses Ball. Mac walked up with Mr. Marbles perched on his arm and greeted Duke. Duke chuckled as he asked about Mac's dummy, so Mac introduced Mr. Marbles. Duke was certain that Mac's act was going to be the highlight of the evening. "At least the highlight of Felicia's evening," Duke added. "But not Frisco's," Mr. Marbles replied.

Duke cautioned Mac to be careful about the Frisco jokes because it gave the impression that Mac felt threatened by Frisco. Mac clarified that what he felt was a deep desire to pummel Frisco. Duke was surprised when Mac revealed that Felicia had confessed that she loved Mac and Frisco. Mac had been down that road before with Felicia, but it had always ended with Felicia taking off when Frisco beckoned. Mac refused to give up on Felicia, but he insisted that she needed to make a choice once and for all.

Duke empathized with Mac's predicament, but Mac pointed out that Duke had a fighting chance with Anna because there wasn't another person in the picture. "I'm competing with myself," Duke explained. Mac refused to believe that Anna had objected to Duke "dabbling" in a little criminal activity when Duke had been a "straight-up gangster" when Anna had first fallen in love with Duke. Mac suspected that Anna had used the excuse as a means to push Duke away, so she could avoid facing her fears. Mac believed that Faison had made Anna afraid to trust her own judgment, so he urged Duke to give Anna a reason to trust Duke.

Nearby, Sabrina struggled to push a clothing rack filled with couture gowns. Felix was excited until Lucy informed Felix that all of the gowns were for Lucy. Lucy explained that the host couldn't appear in the same gown all night, so Lucy intended to wear a different gown each time she stepped on stage. Moments later, Kevin arrived, so Lucy ran up to greet him. Lucy admitted that she was nervous about the evening, so she was delighted that Kevin was there to calm her.

Lucy's joy turned to disappointment when Kevin revealed that the hospital in Seattle had called to let him know that one of his patients was in crisis. Lucy pointed out that she was in crisis, too, because it was the first Nurses Ball in ten years. Kevin assured her that he wouldn't skip the ball if he could help it, but his patient needed him. He was confident that Lucy would sail through the evening without any problems. Lucy insisted that she had terrible stage fright, so Kevin gave her a pep talk and promised to be there with her in spirit.

Moments later, Lucy spotted Duke, so she and Kevin approached Duke and Mac. Duke hoped that Kevin didn't mind that Duke would be dancing with Lucy. Kevin explained that he had to leave, so he wanted Duke and Mac to take care of Lucy. Mac promised that they would make certain that Lucy ended up on stage in her "scanties" as was her custom. Lucy playfully smacked Mac and made it clear that it was one tradition that she intended to break. Kevin was pleased because he preferred that Lucy's lingerie remained for his eyes only.

After Kevin left, Lucy dragged everyone to the stage for one last rehearsal. Mac performed his ventriloquist act for Lucy, but she wasn't impressed. Lucy advised Mac to polish up the jokes about Frisco if Mac didn't want to die on stage with his wooden puppet. Afterwards, Lucy and Duke practiced their dance number. Lucy was pleased with the final rehearsal, so she ordered everyone to get ready for the 2013 Nurses Ball.

Meanwhile, Sabrina asked Felix if there was a way to retrieve a deleted voicemail message. Felix suspected that there was, but he didn't know how. Sabrina explained that Elizabeth had mentioned that Patrick had left Sabrina a message, but Elizabeth had refused to elaborate. However, Sabrina has sensed that the message was important. Felix suggested that Patrick would call back if it was important. Sabrina agreed, so she set her phone down and went back to work getting things set up for the ball. A short time later, Sabrina noticed that she had missed a call from Patrick.

At the Drake residence, Patrick and Emma were eating dinner when Emma decided to go to her room to change into her ball gown. Patrick gently advised Emma against it because he didn't want her to get her dress dirty, but Emma wanted her father to see the dress. Patrick explained that he would rather be surprised when he saw her at the ball. Emma smiled brightly and then confided that her duet with Sabrina would be the best performance at the ball. Patrick returned the smile until Emma began to talk about Sabrina's new boyfriend, "Magic Milo."

According to Emma, Felix wasn't happy about Sabrina's relationship with Milo because Felix liked Milo. However, Emma explained that Milo didn't like boys. Emma recalled Felix mentioning Milo's abs, so she was curious was abs were. Patrick told his daughter to finish her dinner and warned her not to gossip. Afterwards, Patrick stepped away to call Sabrina. The call went to voicemail, so he asked what time Sabrina intended to pick up Emma. Moments later, the doorbell rang.

Patrick assumed that it was Sabrina, so he ended the call and dashed to the door. He was surprised when he saw Noah standing on his doorstep. Emma ran into her grandfather's waiting arms. Patrick was curious why Noah was there, so Noah explained that he intended to attend the Nurses Ball because it was a worthy charity and it honored Robin.

Later, Sabrina arrived to pick up Emma. Patrick introduced Sabrina to Noah, but Noah already knew Sabrina. Noah explained that Sabrina and Emma talked to Noah on Skype whenever Sabrina watched Emma. Patrick looked uncomfortable when Sabrina and Noah chatted like old friends about some of the women that Noah had recently dated.

After Sabrina and Emma left, Noah remarked that Patrick and Emma were lucky to have found someone like Sabrina. Patrick agreed, but Noah sensed that his son was holding something back. Patrick confessed that he'd recently had a moment of clarity. Patrick told Noah about Sabrina's heartfelt confession and Patrick's panicked reaction.

Patrick had realized later that Sabrina had quietly helped him put his life back together after Robin's tragic death. Patrick conceded that he had feelings for Sabrina, but it was too late because Sabrina had moved on with another guy. Noah urged Patrick to swallow his pride and open up to Sabrina. Patrick admitted that he had left Sabrina a voicemail message, but Noah insisted that women didn't want to hear things like that over the phone. Noah didn't want Patrick to make the same mistake that Noah had made when Noah had let a "certain nurse" slip though his fingers, so he urged Patrick to try to talk to Sabrina again.

In Anna's hotel suite, Anna was on the phone, getting an update about Luke, Laura, and Dante's search for Lulu. Nearby, Felicia was applying make up on Maxie as Olivia entered the room. Olivia heard Anna on the phone, so she waited until Anna ended the call to ask if there had been any news. Anna admitted that Frisco hadn't had anything new to report. Maxie complained when Felicia suddenly smeared Maxie's lipstick. Felicia apologized, but remained focused on Anna and Olivia's conversation. Olivia admitted that she was out of her mind with worry about Dante and Lulu, so Maxie assured Olivia that everything would be fine because Maxie was certain that Dante would find Lulu.

Later, Anna was surprised when Felicia confessed that she loved Mac and Frisco. Felicia admitted that she had told both men about her feelings, so Anna was curious what their reactions had been. Felicia revealed that Mac had refused to talk to her until Felicia had made a choice. Anna wondered which man Felicia wanted to be with, but Felicia would only say that she intended to straighten everything out the first chance that she had. Anna opened up to Felicia about Duke and told her about their decision not to pursue a romantic relationship. Felicia doubted that it had been that simple, but Anna insisted that a relationship with Duke was impossible.

Moments later, everyone was delighted when Bobbie arrived. The women in Anna's room were in various stages of getting ready for the ball when Felix arrived with complimentary bags of Lucy's cosmetics. Felix gushed to Anna about Emma, but admitted that Patrick was a "dolt" and the most clueless person that he had ever met. Anna was curious what Felix was talking about, but Felix tried to change the subject. Concerned, Anna pushed for an answer, so Felix assured her that Patrick was fine, but he cryptically explained that he thought that Patrick could be less lonely.

Anna wondered if Felix had a specific person in mind to help Patrick be less lonely, but Felix was spared from having to answer Anna's question when Sabrina and Emma arrived. Emma was quickly swept up in the frenzy of getting ready, so Felix pulled Sabrina aside to inform Sabrina that he intended to give Sabrina a makeover. Sabrina refused, but Felix refused to take no for an answer. He knew that Sabrina had recently ordered some contact lenses, which indicated to him that she wanted to make some changes but had been too afraid to follow through.

Felix yanked off Sabrina's glasses as he accused her of hiding behind her big hair and thick glasses, so he was determined to help her. Sabrina remained reluctant, but Felix promised her two things: he would have her turning heads at the ball, and he would make her almost as beautiful on the outside as she was on the inside. Seconds later, Anna noticed Sabrina without her glasses. Anna complimented Sabrina and claimed that Sabrina looked like a different woman, so Sabrina decided to take Felix up on his offer.

Meanwhile, everyone complimented Maxie when she was ready for the ball. They all agreed that pregnancy suited her. Bobbie knew the pain of not being able to have a child, so she was certain that B.J. would be proud of her cousin for helping Lulu to become a mother.

Later, all of the ladies clapped when Emma made a grand entrance, dressed in a sparkling gown. Emma called out to Sabrina to join them, but Felix told the ladies that Sabrina would meet them in the ballroom. After the ladies filed out, Felix turned to look at Sabrina. "What can I say? I'm a master builder," Felix proclaimed with pride. Sabrina nervously wondered if she looked okay, so Felix assured her that she was beautiful.

Sabrina asked Felix to go ahead without her because she wanted some time to get used to the heels. Shortly after Felix left, Patrick knocked on the door and called out to Anna as he entered the suite. He spotted Sabrina, but she had her back to him, so he asked her if she had seen a woman similar to her height, with big hair and glasses. Patrick was shocked by the stunning transformation when Sabrina turned to face him.

4/5 In Anna's suite, Patrick was stunned by Sabrina's startling transformation. Sabrina smiled awkwardly as she conceded that she looked different, so Patrick assured her that she was beautiful. Sabrina rushed to explain that the makeover had been Felix's idea, but she assured Patrick that she was still the same person under all of the glitz and glamour. "That's a good thing," Patrick quietly admitted.

Patrick cleared his throat and then confessed that he had been trying to talk to Sabrina for a few days, but he'd only reached her voicemail. Sabrina admitted that Elizabeth had mentioned that he had left a voicemail message for Sabrina, but Sabrina insisted that she hadn't received it. Sabrina was surprised when Patrick confessed that he hoped that her feelings for him hadn't changed because he felt the same way about Sabrina that she felt about him.

Patrick explained that he had realized that Sabrina had been a friend to him, even when he hadn't known that he had needed one and that he had looked forward to seeing her every day from the day that he had met her. Patrick admitted that grief and then Britt had distracted him, but Sabrina's confession had made him realize that the person he wanted and needed had been standing right in front of him. Sabrina's eyes filled with tears of joy as Patrick revealed that he had gone to her graduation ceremony to tell her about his feelings, but Milo had asked her out.

Sabrina confessed that she had gone out with Milo to get over Patrick. Patrick was curious if it had worked, so Sabrina quickly assured Patrick that her feelings for him hadn't changed. Patrick apologized to Sabrina for taking so long to figure things out, so Sabrina assured Patrick that it was okay. "I'm sorry it took me so long to do this," Patrick softly said as he leaned down to kiss her.

After the passionate kiss ended, Sabrina admitted that she couldn't believe what had just happened. Sabrina's happiness was tempered by the realization that Milo was her date. Patrick's smile faded, but Sabrina assured him that she intended to talk to Milo right away to let him know that things had changed between her and Patrick, so Patrick formally asked Sabrina to be his date for the evening. She didn't hesitate to accept.

Moments later, Sabrina announced that she had to get to the ballroom because she was expected to perform in the opening number. Patrick offered his arm to Sabrina as he asked her if she was ready. "I've been ready since the day I met you," Sabrina replied with a beaming smile as she hooked her arm through his.

In the dressing room, Lucy frantically flipped through the rack of couture gowns, looking for the perfect one to wear on the red carpet. Felix knocked on the door and entered the room to find out why Lucy wasn't ready. Lucy explained her predicament to Felix, so Felix decided to help her select a gown because he didn't want her to appear on stage in her underwear. Lucy confessed that it wouldn't be the first time that it had happened to her.

On the red carpet, an entertainment television host introduced the viewing audience to Aztec princess, Felicia Jones, and her daughter, fashion icon and selfless surrogate, Maxie Jones. Felicia and Maxie smiled as they made their way to an area where photographers snapped their pictures. Moments later, Frisco joined Felicia and Maxie. Frisco's smile faded when the red carpet host announced that Mac had arrived, prompting Felicia to invite Mac to join them. Frisco scowled when Mac slid next to Felicia and smiled pleasantly for the photographers.

Spinelli and Ellie were the next to arrive, but Ellie's good humor waned when Spinelli spotted Maxie and remarked that Maxie was "blossoming with child." Ellie reminded Spinelli that he had promised not to talk about children. Tensions were high as Spinelli and Ellie quickly posed for pictures before fleeing to the ballroom.

Duke, sporting a kilt, arrived on the red carpet alone, but Anna and Emma soon followed, and Anna stopped to talk to the host. Anna confessed that she believed that her daughter, Robin, was there in spirit. Emma smiled brightly when she saw Duke posing for pictures, so she called out to him. Duke waved back at Emma as she ran towards him. However, Emma's happiness dimmed when she overheard the host inform the viewing audience that Patrick had not arrived yet.

Sonny and Carly stepped onto the red carpet as Duke, Anna, and Emma walked away. The host asked if Sonny and Carly were back together. "No comment," Carly replied. The host was curious if Carly wanted to address rumors about Brenda's engagement to Jax. Carly smiled as she assured everyone that Jax and Brenda were not headed down the aisle and then confessed that they were unlikely to arrive together that evening. As if on cue, Brenda appeared on the red carpet alone.

Brenda smiled brightly as she waved to the crowd, while Carly watched Brenda with smug satisfaction. Sonny's eyes were on Brenda as the host asked Brenda where her fiancé was. Brenda claimed that Jax had been called away, so Carly pointedly asked Brenda about the missing engagement ring. Brenda's smile tightened as she explained that the ring hadn't matched her gown. The host moved on when Michael arrived with Bobbie and Olivia. However, the host noted that there hadn't been any sign of Bobbie's former flame, Noah Drake.

Moments later, the host announced the arrival of "beautiful and beloved" Nurse Elizabeth Webber and "back-from-the-dead" ELQ CEO A.J. Quartermaine. A.J. and Elizabeth posed for pictures and then made their way to the ballroom. Shortly afterwards, Monica and Tracy arrived. The host admitted that he was surprised that the feuding sisters-in-law had attended together. Meanwhile, Monica and Tracy pasted on saccharine smiles as they quietly spoke to each other between gritted teeth about the spirits who had visited them. Tracy admitted that the sprits had a done a number on her and Monica.

Next up were Alexis, Shawn, Molly, and T.J., followed by Sam, who had arrived at the event alone. The Davis women and their dates posed for pictures as Epiphany and her escort, Anton, stepped onto the red carpet. Sam was startled when Anton suddenly bumped into as the photo area became crowded. Anton smiled at Sam as he reminded her that it wasn't too late to dance with him.

The last to arrive on the red carpet were Felix and Lucy. Felix stepped aside as the host interviewed Lucy, so Milo approached Felix to ask where Sabrina was.

Inside the ballroom, Mac caught Frisco switching place cards so that Frisco would be seated next to Felicia. Mac accused Frisco of being juvenile, but Frisco argued that Frisco and Felicia belonged together. Mac suggested that Frisco's attempt to change the seating chart indicated that Frisco viewed Mac as a threat, so Mac was certain that Frisco would lose Felicia. Nearby, Anna and Felicia watched Mac and Frisco. Anna advised Felicia to make a decision before Mac and Frisco killed each other.

Felicia approached the table, so Mac and Frisco demanded that she make a choice. "What's it going to be? A nice, hot, juicy filet mignon or a cold fish?" Frisco asked. Elsewhere in the ballroom, Bobbie greeted Noah with a warm hug. He apologized for interrupting her phone call, but she assured him that it was okay because she had just been checking in with Scott. "Scotty?" Noah asked surprised. He wondered if Bobbie and Scott were dating, so she quickly clarified that she was single then jokingly added that it had been years since she had faked blindness to keep a man. Noah chuckled. "That's good to know," he replied as he watched Bobbie walk away.

Moments later, Anna approached Noah. She told him that it was good to see him, but he wondered if she would prefer his rock star look-alike, Eli Love. Noah wasn't surprised when Anna confessed that she'd had a little crush on Eli, but Eli had been troubled. Noah and Anna talked about Eli's drinking problem and the night that Noah had taken the rock star's place on stage. Anna wondered if they might get a surprise appearance from Eli Love. "Maybe. Maybe from someone. I don't know," Noah cryptically replied. "Who?" Anna nervously asked.

Later, Patrick joined his family at their table in the ballroom. Emma happily hugged her father, but noticed something on his collar. Noah smiled knowingly at his son. "Looks like you found her," Noah said. Patrick retuned his father's smile as he replied, "Yes."

Elsewhere in the ballroom, Alexis approached Sonny to find out why Carly was his date. Michael walked up as Sonny explained that it was a long story. "Let me guess; it has something to do with Brenda," Michael said as they all watched as Carly had approached Brenda at a nearby table. Carly announced that she had the signed divorce papers for Jax and then innocently asked where he was. Brenda smiled bitterly at Carly as she replied, "Go to hell."

"That's what I thought. The wedding is off," Carly shot back with satisfaction. Brenda blamed the broken engagement on Carly, who Brenda insisted was a "miserable skank." Alexis, Shawn, Michael, and Sonny quickly ran over to the table to keep the argument from escalating.

Shawn offered to take Brenda to another table, but Brenda refused to be moved. She took her place at the table as the announcer welcomed the guests to the 2013 Nurses Ball. Annoyed, Carly sat down next to Brenda as the rest of the guests took their seats.

Backstage, Lucy ordered everyone to take their place for the opening number. Lucy was relieved when Sabrina arrived at the last second, but took a moment to compliment the young nurse on her stunning makeover. After Lucy walked away to attend to another detail, Felix and Elizabeth asked Sabrina why she was late. Sabrina happily revealed that Patrick had kissed her. Felix and Elizabeth were thrilled for Sabrina and eager to hear the details, but Sabrina had to get changed for the opening number.

A short time later, Lucy stepped onto the stage to officially kick off the 2013 Nurses Ball. She informed the audience that T.J. and Molly had written the music and lyrics for the opening number. The nurses of General Hospital wowed the crowed with a song and dance routine, which featured solos from Epiphany, Sabrina, and Felix. After the opening number, Sabrina changed back into her gown and looked for Milo.

Milo was stunned by Sabrina's makeover and admitted that she looked as amazing on the outside as she was on the inside. However, he revealed that he had a confession to make. Sabrina was surprised when he told her about the deleted voicemail message. Milo feared that she was angry, but she assured him that she wasn't because she had to be honest with him too. Milo was disappointed, but not shocked, when she told him that things had changed between her and Patrick. He admitted that it was clear that there was an undeniable connection between Sabrina and Patrick. Moments later, Sabrina joined Patrick at his table. Emma thought that Sabrina looked like a princess. Patrick agreed and invited Sabrina to sit.

Backstage, Spinelli apologized to Ellie about the remarks that he had made regarding Maxie's pregnancy. He assured her that he had simply been making an observation, so he begged Sabrina to forgive him. Spinelli and Ellie were called to the stage before Ellie could reply. Moments later, Spinelli and Ellie performed a lively and entertaining song and dance routine to She Blinded Me With Science.

As everyone applauded, Brenda threw a dinner roll at the back of Carly's head. Carly turned and glared at Brenda, who glared right back at Carly, so Carly picked up a bread roll then threw it at Brenda. The food fight quickly escalated as Carly tossed a drink at Brenda. Security quickly appeared, so Carly ordered them to escort Brenda out of the ballroom. Brenda warned the security guard not to touch her then stood up and calmly walked out. Annoyed, Sonny reminded Carly that Brenda had been there to honor Robin, so it hadn't been necessary to toss Brenda out.

Carly disagreed and refused to apologize. Disgusted, Sonny went after Brenda. Nearby, Monica asked Michael what was going on between Carly and Brenda. Michael admitted that his mother didn't get along with Brenda. Elizabeth couldn't understand why Carly and Brenda couldn't put aside their differences for one night and coexist. Elizabeth pointed out that A.J. and Tracy despised each other, but they weren't throwing champagne at each other. A.J. credited Elizabeth for being a good influence on him.

Tracy rolled her eyes then announced that she needed to step out for some fresh air because she felt nauseous. A.J. was surprised when Monica decided to follow Tracy. Monica explained that her truce with Tracy couldn't last forever, so Monica wanted to make certain that Tracy didn't poison A.J.'s steak. "Well, so much for peaceful coexistence," Michael told Elizabeth.

At Maxie's table, Maxie watched as Spinelli kissed Ellie on the stage, while the crowd applauded. Ellie told Spinelli that she forgave him because she loved him, so Spinelli told Ellie that he loved her. Maxie stood up and started to walk away, but Frisco caught up with his daughter then whispered to her that it wasn't too late to tell Spinelli that she was pregnant with Spinelli's baby. Duke complimented Anna as she passed him near the entrance to the ballroom. Anna admitted that he looked dashing in his kilt. Duke wondered if his kilt reminded her of their wedding and the love that they had once shared, despite their differences.

Sam was shocked when Anton announced that she would have to dance with him because his dance partner had been injured. Sam argued that she didn't have anything to wear, but Anton refused to take no for an answer. Eventually, Sam capitulated and followed Anton backstage. After Sam went to change into a costume, Felix approached Anton to offer to dance with him. Anton smiled, but explained that he had a dance partner. Felix hid his disappointment as Sam returned to fetch Anton for their dance number.

The audience loved Sam and Anton's flawless freestyle dance and applauded loudly when the dance concluded. After Sam and Anton left the stage, Lucy reminded everyone that there had been nurses from the past who continued to inspire everyone. The curtain lifted to reveal a picture of Nurse Amy Vining and Nurse Jesse Brewer. Lucy admitted that the two beloved nurses were missed, but not forgotten. Lucy then introduced her longtime dear friend, Bobbie Spencer, who had once been General Hospital's head nurse.

After the applause for Bobbie died down, Lucy revealed that the Nurses Ball wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of an anonymous benefactor. Lucy was certain that the benefactor was present, so she urged the person to stand up because she wanted to give everyone the opportunity to show their appreciation with applause. Everyone clapped as they waited for someone to stand up, but no one did. Lucy respected the benefactor's wish to remain anonymous, but she assured the person that they were all grateful for the donation.

Shortly after Maxie had returned to her table, she asked her mother if Felicia had made a choice. Felicia confessed that she didn't know what to do because she loved Mac and Frisco. Meanwhile, Lucy introduced Mac and Mr. Marbles. Mac and Mr. Marbles had fun at Frisco's expense by cracking jokes about Frisco being a deadbeat father and having a fear of commitment. However, Mac ended his skit with a heartfelt message to Felicia. Mac assured Felicia that he didn't care who she picked, as long as she was happy. Mac then declared his love for Felicia. The audience clapped, while Felicia quietly asked Maxie what that had been about. Maxie suggested that Mac had finally decided to fight back.

Felicia avoided looking at Mac when he returned to the table, but the spotlight then fell on a surprise performance from Frisco who sang a touching rendition of All I Need. Felicia's eyes filled with tears, as other couples such as A.J. and Elizabeth, Spinelli and Ellie, Patrick and Sabrina, Duke and Anna, and Alexis and Shawn exchanged meaningful glances with each other during parts of the lyrics that spoke to them. Frisco dedicated the song to the woman that he had always held close to his heart, no matter how far he had traveled. Mac was shocked when Frisco approached Felicia to publicly propose marriage to her.

In Lucy's dressing room, Lucy became frustrated when she couldn't find a specific gown. However, a loud noise caught her attention, so she went to her dressing room door and threw it open. She appeared startled by what had greeted her eyes.

4/8 Britt and her mother, Dr. Obrecht, discussed the plot they were hatching while they watched the Nurses Ball on the television set in their Metro Court hotel room. Britt was reluctant to continue with the plan when she saw how happy Sabrina, Patrick, and Emma were, but Dr. Obrecht insisted. She told Britt that what she saw was just an illusion that would be shattered once their bombshell hit.

Britt wondered if revenge was enough. Dr. Obrecht told Britt that she was weak and reminded Britt of all that Sabrina had taken from her. Britt remembered steamy sex with Patrick as well as his coldness after it was revealed that Britt had been mean to both Emma and Sabrina. Britt told her mother she was ready to go on with the plan. Dr. Obrecht told Britt to pull herself together and get dressed. She said that after that night, all of Port Charles would be talking about Britt and the surprise that she had unleashed.

At the ball, Frisco finished his song and made an impassioned plea to Felecia as he proposed to her in front of the crowd. Felicia told Frisco that she loved him and always would, but their time together had passed, and she could not accept his ring because he was no longer the man of her heart. That honor, she said, belonged to Mac and always would. Frisco was devastated as he left the ballroom. Backstage, as Lucy picked out her next dress, Richard Simmons, who had been hiding in the closet, appeared and started insulting Lucy. They squabbled. Richard bound and gagged Lucy and threw her in the closet as he prepared to go out and do a number of his own.

Maxie caught up with Frisco and asked where he was going. He told her anywhere but Port Charles. Frisco said that it had been a mistake to return to Port Charles because there was nothing there for him. Maxie pointed out that she was there. She asked if everything Frisco had said to her was a lie. She begged Frisco to stay for her. Frisco told Maxie that she would be fine.

Maxie said that if Frisco had not stepped in when he did, the truth would be out about her pregnancy. Frisco replied that Maxie no longer had to worry about Britt. Maxie said that she was not worried about the psycho doctor but about losing Frisco again, which she could see was about to happen. Maxie asked Frisco where he was going. Frisco said he did not know. He hugged Maxie and told her that he would get in touch as soon as he knew. Frisco hugged Maxie again before leaving. Ellie overheard their conversation.

Mac told Felicia that he was glad that she had chosen him, but he wished that he could trust that she really meant it. Felicia told Mac that it had always been him. Felicia admitted that she had made mistakes in the past but that she knew what she wanted, and what she wanted was Mac, because he made her happy. Felicia asked Mac to marry her. Mac said yes.

Elizabeth took over emcee duties when Lucy went missing. She introduced the tango number. Since Lucy was unavailable, Anna took her place. She and Duke rekindled the magic of their previous relationship and wiped away the stain that Faison had put on it. After it was over, Duke asked her if she had thought of anyone else while they were dancing. Anna said she had not.

Duke said that it was time to create new memories. Anna said that they were on opposite sides of the law. Duke said that was an excuse. He said that Anna was afraid. Duke admitted that he was also afraid, not of losing her, but of getting her back. Duke said that even though they were scared, they should take the chance they were being offered, and they should do it together. Anna agreed. They kissed passionately.

Next, Elizabeth introduced "Magic Milo," who did a song and dance number with Michael, Spinelli, Ivan the choreographer, Max, and Felix. The boys eventually stripped down to their underwear. As the crowd called for them to strip completely, the rumble between Lucy and Richard Simmons erupted onstage, and Lucy, once again, was spotlighted in her underwear. The men in the crowd started clapping while Lucy tried to explain how Richard had come out of the closet and attacked her. Richard had to be restrained as he screamed that he wanted to kill Lucy. The six hunks unceremoniously carried Richard off-stage.

Sabrina sat with Patrick and Emma, who asked if Milo was still Sabrina's boyfriend. When Sabrina said, "No," Emma asked if Patrick could be Sabrina's boyfriend. Both Sabrina and Patrick looked very happy. Emma noticed Duke and Anna and asked if Anna had a boyfriend, too. After Sabrina took Emma away to get dressed for their number together, Anna gave her blessing to Patrick and Sabrina.

Lucy was back in charge as she announced that Dr. Noah Drake had arranged for Rick Springfield to appear at the ball and sing his hit, "Jesse's Girl," which elicited a standing ovation from the house. Even Dr. Obrecht approved that performance, as she helped Britt get dressed. She told Britt that she would turn heads and that "mutter" would be watching her every step of the way as they unveiled their plot.

Back at the ball, Bobbie told Noah that she had not realized how much he looked like Rick Springfield. Felix told Spinelli that it was a good thing that Max and Milo were trained bodyguards because Richard Simmons had put up quite a fight before being hauled off.

Lucy introduced Emma and Sabrina, who did a cute song and dance number together to the song "Call Me Maybe." Patrick was entranced with his "pretty in pink" girls.

Lucy got serious as she said that the ball was held in Robin's honor, and she introduced Patrick. Patrick talked about the AIDS epidemic. He said that it was not over and that Robin had devoted her life to helping fight it. He told Robin's story. Patrick called Emma on-stage and said that they were grateful for the love that everyone had show Robin. He added that Robin's legacy lived on, thanks to each and every person who had contributed to making Robin's dream a reality.

Britt walked up to the stage. Patrick asked what she was doing. Britt merely said that she wanted to add a few words of her own. Back in the hotel room, Dr. Obrecht watched Britt and looked at a photograph. She told the photograph that he would be a proud papa. A closeup revealed that the man in the photo was Faison.

At the ball, Ellie walked up to Maxie, who was crying, and asked if she could help. Maxie said that it was hormones, but Ellie said that it seemed to be more than hormones. Maxie said that her dad had just left and that she should be used to it. Ellie told Maxie that she could talk to her about anything. Maxie said, "Like what?" Ellie replied, "Like the baby you are carrying."

4/9 In the ballroom, Patrick warily asked Britt what she was doing on stage. Britt claimed that his speech had inspired her, so she had wanted to add a few words of her own. Sabrina stood protectively close to Emma as Patrick quietly reminded Britt that the night was intended to honor Robin. He asked Britt not to make a scene, but Britt was confident that everyone would want to hear what she had to say. Sabrina tried to intervene, but Britt warned Sabrina that it didn't concern Sabrina. Sabrina disagreed, so Britt announced that she had great news.

An audible gasp reverberated through the room as Britt shrugged out of her coat to proudly reveal that she was pregnant with a baby that she claimed Patrick had fathered. Nearby, Anna watched intently as Patrick tried to handle the situation. Britt innocently explained that she had been caught up in the joy of the evening, so she had wanted to share her surprise with everyone and celebrate the wonderful news with Patrick. Patrick tried to contain his fury as Britt's eyes zeroed in on Emma. Britt insisted that the baby would be as beautiful as Emma then asked the frightened little girl if Emma looked forward to welcoming a little sister or brother.

Anna dashed to the stage, while Patrick warned Britt not to talk to Emma. Anna ushered Emma off stage as Britt boldly announced that Britt and Patrick were a family now. Sabrina accused Britt of lying, but Britt stroked her slightly rounded belly as she assured Sabrina that the pregnancy was very real. Patrick decided to continue his discussion with Britt in private, so he escorted Britt off of the stage. Distraught, Sabrina ran in the opposite direction.

Lucy quickly stepped on stage and jokingly referred to the shocking incident as an "Act Three surprise." She then introduced Olivia, the "Bensonhurst Medium" and Olivia's sidekick, Max. Olivia and Max promptly lightened the mood with their comedy skit.

Anna and Duke took Emma to a dressing room. Duke tried to cheer the little girl up with a dessert that he had stolen, but Emma was concerned about Britt's startling news. Anna confessed that she didn't know if what Britt had said was true, so Emma wondered if it was because Britt was a mean person who lied. Anna struggled to find the right words. "Yes, that's why we don't know," Duke answered for Anna. Anna quickly assured her granddaughter that Emma would be a wonderful big sister whenever she became one. Emma confessed that she didn't want a brother or sister if it meant that Britt had to be her mother too.

Backstage, Felix and Elizabeth checked on Sabrina who wept in anger and frustration about the drama that had unfolded on stage. Sabrina confessed that she had always known that her happiness with Patrick wouldn't last, but she hadn't expected it to end so soon or that "the Britch" would claim to be pregnant with Patrick's baby. Elizabeth confessed that she had her doubts about the baby, so Sabrina pointed out that they had all seen the baby bump.

Felix clarified that it wasn't the pregnancy that they questioned, but rather the child's paternity. Felix agreed with Elizabeth because they had no way of knowing what Britt had been up to during the months since Patrick had dumped Britt. Sabrina conceded that Felix and Elizabeth had a point, so she decided to confront Britt. Felix and Elizabeth strongly advised Sabrina against it, but Sabrina ignored them.

In the lobby, Patrick demanded to know what Britt was up to. Britt assured him that she was pregnant, but he denied that the baby was his because they'd only had sex one time. Britt chuckled as she reminded Patrick that it only required one time. She confessed that she hadn't been on the birth control pill when they'd had sex in the shower, and she recalled that he hadn't used a condom. Britt thought that she was lucky that she had gotten pregnant instead of picking up a disease.

Patrick bristled when Britt suggested that Patrick, more than most, should appreciate how diseases were spread. "What did you just say?" Patrick asked. He wondered if the dig had been directed at Robin. "Of course not," Britt replied, stunned that he would suggest it. Patrick didn't believe her, but he decided that he didn't care because Britt disgusted him.

Hurt, Britt reminded Patrick that he hadn't been disgusted when he had slammed her up against the tiles in the shower. Patrick explained that it was because he hadn't known the real Britt then. He suspected that she had intended to hurt as many people as possible by making the announcement as she had. Britt insisted that Patrick hadn't given her any choice because he had abandoned her. Patrick made it clear that he had ended things with Britt because he had caught her mistreating his daughter.

Britt insisted that it had been an isolated mistake. She tried to garner sympathy by claiming that she'd had no one to turn to when she had found out about her pregnancy, but Patrick pointed out that it was because Britt was a horrible person and no one liked her. Britt ignored the insult as she assured Patrick that she had tried to tell him about the baby sooner, but he had looked at her with such contempt that she hadn't been able to find the words. Patrick had no idea what Britt was trying to prove, but he promised her that they would not be getting back together. "Child or not," Patrick added.

Sabrina walked up as Britt asked if Patrick was prepared to turn his back on his child. Britt spotted Sabrina, so she offered to let Patrick and Sabrina talk. Britt smiled vindictively as she explained that the baby wasn't due for another six months, so Patrick and Britt would have plenty of time to get down to the business of raising the baby. After Britt sauntered away, Patrick began to apologize to Sabrina. Sabrina suggested that perhaps Patrick wasn't the baby's father. Patrick agreed, so he intended to get a paternity test.

Sabrina was certain that Britt had hoped that the pregnancy would ruin things between Patrick and Sabrina as well as the Nurses Ball. Patrick refused to let Britt take away from the special night, so he suggested that they return to the ballroom. Sabrina was curious if Patrick thought that they could simply forget what had happened. "No," Patrick admitted, but he thought that they could move past it. Sabrina melted into Patrick's arms as he leaned down to kiss her.

In the ballroom, Sam and Spinelli talked about Britt's unexpected announcement. Sam was surprised when Spinelli expressed a bit of jealousy over Patrick's predicament. Olivia's skit ended, so Spinelli decided to look for Ellie, since she hadn't returned. Sam wanted to know when Spinelli had become interested in starting a family. Spinelli explained that he had been referring to a future family and then told Sam about Ellie's decision not to have children, despite his deep desire to be a father one day. Sam was disappointed because she believed that Spinelli and Ellie were great together. Spinelli was touched by the support and conceded that the discussion of children had been shelved for a while.

On the red carpet, Ellie offered to listen if Maxie wanted to talk about anything. "Like what?" Maxie asked. "The baby you're carrying," Ellie answered. Maxie was taken aback and wondered what Ellie knew. Maxie was furious when Ellie admitted that she had overheard part of Maxie's conversation with Frisco.

Ellie explained that she had been passing by when she had heard Maxie credit Frisco with keeping the truth about the baby from getting out. Maxie dismissed what Ellie had overheard as unimportant, but Ellie revealed that she had also heard something about a "psycho" doctor. Ellie urged Maxie to confide in a friend if Maxie or the baby were in jeopardy. Ellie pointed out that she had medical knowledge, so she wanted to help Maxie. "What truth is so dangerous?" Ellie asked.

Maxie's temper flared as she informed Ellie that Ellie had eavesdropped on a private conversation between Maxie and her father. Maxie's eyes filled with angry tears as she reminded Ellie that Frisco had abandoned Maxie most of Maxie's childhood and had once again walked out on Maxie earlier that evening, so Ellie had stuck her nose in where it hadn't belonged.

Moments later, Spinelli walked up. He immediately sensed the tension between Ellie and Maxie, so Maxie told him that Ellie had listened in on a conversation that hadn't been any of Ellie's business. Maxie thanked Ellie for making Maxie's evening worse than it had been and then returned to the ballroom. "Dare I ask?" Spinelli wondered as he watched Maxie walk away. Ellie revealed what she had overheard. Spinelli and Ellie realized that the "psycho" doctor had likely been Britt Westbourne, so Spinelli told Ellie about Britt's announcement.

Spinelli suspected that Maxie had been referring to Britt's pregnancy, not her own, but Ellie couldn't imagine why Frisco would get involved. Spinelli reminded Ellie that Maxie was close to Patrick and Emma, so it made sense that Maxie would turn to her father for help if Maxie feared that Britt would use the pregnancy to hurt Patrick and Emma. Ellie remained unconvinced, but Spinelli changed the subject by reminding her that they were in the lobby rather than in the ballroom where everyone was enjoying the entertainment. Ellie agreed to return to the ballroom with Spinelli because she realized that Maxie could reach out to them if Maxie wanted or needed help.

In the ballroom, Lucy introduced Molly Lansing-Davis and T.J. Ashford, who had written a song together about mean girls at a private school. Molly wowed the crowd with her singing, while T.J. impressed everyone with his skill on the keyboard.

Meanwhile, Felix approached Monica and Tracy at their table to enlist them to perform in one of the acts. Tracy flatly refused. Monica thought that perhaps it was for the best, since Tracy was "getting on in years." Monica smiled when Tracy stood up and followed Felix.

Backstage, A.J. and Elizabeth took a moment after their performance to catch their breath. Elizabeth smiled victoriously as she insisted that they had nailed their dance number. A.J. returned her smile as he confided that a part of him had expected Tracy to toss marbles onto the stage. Elizabeth assured A.J. that they had rocked their dance number, which would never have happened with the old A.J. "You mean A.J. the screw-up?" A.J. asked.

Elizabeth argued that A.J. wasn't that man anymore, so A.J. was curious who Elizabeth thought he was. She explained that the old A.J. had died, so he had gotten an upgrade when he had returned. "A.J. 2.0," Elizabeth clarified. A.J. confessed that he'd had no idea that Elizabeth had had that kind of confidence in him, so she admitted that it had crept up on her because of all of the nice things that he'd done and the promises that he'd kept.

A.J. revealed that he had made himself one promise for the evening. Elizabeth smiled as A.J. slipped his hand behind her head then kissed her. Moments later, Felix warned everyone "performers coming through" and then added a "You go girl" when he spotted A.J. and Elizabeth in a liplock. A.J. and Elizabeth jumped apart, but their embarrassment turned to confusion when they realized that Monica and Tracy had been with Felix.

Later, Lucy introduced Epiphany and "The Revelations," who were Monica and Tracy. Epiphany sang "Jump" as everyone began to dance. Tracy and Monica dragged several people to the stage where a Conga line was formed. Michael excused himself when Starr called him. In the hallway, he apologized for the noise then told Starr about his performance with Magic Milo. Michael offered to give Starr a private performance when she returned to Port Charles, but Starr informed him that he didn't intend to return. Michael was stunned when Starr abruptly ended the call.

In the ballroom, the crowd roared with applause as Epiphany's rendition of "Jump" ended. Lucy returned to the stage to announce that Epiphany's act had been the perfect way to close the 2013 Nurses Ball. She thanked everyone for their generous donations as Felix joined her on stage with a large bouquet of flowers, which he presented to Lucy in appreciation for all the work that she had done as their host. Lucy was moved to tears, but she insisted that the Nurses Ball wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for Sabrina.

Everyone applauded as Lucy invited Sabrina to the stage. Sabrina reluctantly went with encouragement from Patrick. However, Sabrina insisted that Emma had been the true driving force behind the Nurses Ball. Patrick carried his daughter on stage, so that Emma could thank everyone. Emma then wondered if Patrick thought that her mother was looking down on them. "I think she's always watching," Patrick admitted. Sabrina suddenly sang a touching song assuring Emma that Emma was not alone. Patrick joined in as the guests gathered around the stage and softly swayed to the heartwarming song.

In Dr. Obrecht's hotel suite, Dr. Obrecht looked at a picture of Faison as she confessed that she wished that he could have been there to see their daughter. "Britta would make you a very proud papa," Dr. Obrecht said. She then turned her attention to the television as Britt announced the pregnancy. Dr. Obrecht was disappointed that she couldn't tell Patrick that Robin was alive, but that was Jerry Jacks's surprise, not hers, so she had to wait.

Later, Britt returned to her mother's hotel suite as Dr. Obrecht enthusiastically danced to Epiphany's song. Dr. Obrecht quickly sobered when she spotted Britt. Mother and daughter hugged as Dr. Obrecht congratulated Britt's "performance." Britt wondered if her mother had seen the expressions on Patrick and Sabrina's faces. Dr. Obrecht was confident that Britt's "coup de grâce" would tear Patrick and Sabrina apart, but Britt explained that just because she was having the baby didn't mean that she would get Patrick back.

Britt had no idea how everything had gone so terribly wrong, but her mother advised her to have patience because it took time for a master plan to unfold. Britt argued that Patrick didn't want Britt or the baby, so he'd never love Britt. Dr. Obrecht was curious if love was all that Britt wanted. Britt admitted that it had been lacking in her childhood, so Britt wanted to be loved by Patrick. Britt feared that she would end up alone like her mother had when Dr. Obrecht had tried to ensnare Faison by getting pregnant.

Dr. Obrecht explained that her situation with Faison had been different than things between Britt and Patrick, so she advised Britt to persevere. Britt started to leave, but her mother surprised her by inviting Britt to stay and offering Britt a glass of milk. Dr. Obrecht promised her daughter that everything would work out in the end.

Nurse's Ball 2014 Dvd #7

5/6/14 Edited Mac smiled then confessed that he was happy that Maxie didn't intend to leave town again the way that Robin had. Maxie assured Mac that Port Charles was her home and then credited Levi with helping Maxie to understand that Robin had left to follow Robin's own spiritual path. Mac confided that he was disappointed that Robin would miss the Nurses Ball, but Maxie smiled as she admitted that she looked forward to it because she wouldn't have a pregnancy dictating her fashion choices, and she didn't have a secret plaguing her with a guilty conscience. Plus, they could all rest easy, knowing that Robin was alive and well somewhere in the world. "A trifecta of positives," Maxie happily announced. Mac grinned because Maxie's way of thinking proved to him that she was unique in her own right.
