Robin & Patrick #16 February 13 - June , 2012: 8 hour original edit

DVD #16A Patrick returned to Jason’s hospital bed and told him and Sam that Jason's condition was not improving, but was getting worse. Patrick said that the swelling had occurred since the last surgery. Jason got his back up and said that he did not want another surgery. Patrick concurred. Sam and Jason were shocked when Patrick announced that Jason's condition was inoperable.

2/14 At the Drake residence, Robin called to see if Jason's test results were back. They weren't, so she ended the call, and then entered the living room, where Patrick and Emma had left a trail of Hershey Kisses on the floor. Emma explained that the trail led to a surprise for Robin. Patrick added that it had been a one-of-a-kind special order, that he hadn't been certain would arrive in time. Intrigued, Robin took Emma's hand, and then followed the trail of chocolates to the front door. Emma urged her mother to open it, so Robin did.

Robin squealed with joy when she saw her mother, Anna Devane, standing on the doorstep. Robin and Anna hugged, as Anna explained that Patrick had managed to track Anna down. "Grandma," Emma called out to her grandmother. Anna invited her granddaughter to call her Anna, so Emma smiled brightly, and then said, "Grandma Anna." Anna realized that Emma was determined to call her "Grandma," so Anna let it drop.

Anna gave Emma a kite from Malaysia, which Emma promptly took to her room to show to "Butterscotch." Anna couldn't believe how much Emma had grown, and then recalled Robin and Patrick's wedding. Anna had realized then how much Robin and Patrick had loved each other. Anna sobered, as she confessed that she regretted not being in Port Charles sooner, to offer Robin love and support. Robin realized that Patrick had told Anna about Robin's viral loads.

Robin realized that it had been wrong to keep everyone locked out of what had been happening, but Anna refused to hold it against Robin, because Anna had kept her own secrets over the years. Robin's phone rang. Robin spoke to the person for a few seconds, ended the call, and then told Patrick that Jason's tests were back. Robin and Patrick grabbed their coats, as they explained that they needed to get to the hospital to review Jason's tests.

Anna readily agreed to watch Emma, because it would give Anna some quality time with her granddaughter. After Robin and Patrick left, Anna decided to take Emma out to fly the kite. After they returned, Anna chatted with Emma on the sofa, pointing out whose features and personality traits Emma had inherited from various family members.

Emma turned serious as she told Anna that Robin had been sick. Anna promised Emma that Robin was better, and that Robin was helping a friend at the hospital. According to Anna, Robin was a miracle worker. Emma smiled, and then asked if they could pray for Robin's friend.

At the hospital, Robin thanked Patrick for inviting Anna. However, Robin was curious if Patrick had mentioned anything about Lisa to Anna. Patrick confessed that he hadn't, because he had been afraid of Anna's reaction. Robin admitted that she would rather that Anna not know, because Robin wanted to focus on her future. Moments later, Robin and Patrick decided to talk to Jason about the test results.

Robin and Patrick entered Jason’s room. Sam prayed that Robin and Patrick knew what was going on with Jason, and how to "fix it." The doctors explained that Jason's condition was "delicate," which concerned Sam, because they had made it sound as if it were a death sentence. Robin promised that she was working on a drug therapy to help Jason, but Robin needed Jason to remain in the hospital, so that they could continue to monitor Jason's condition.

Jason wanted to make the most of the time that he had left, instead of staying in a hospital. "It's too soon to jump," Robin cryptically told Jason. Sam wondered what Robin was talking about. Robin explained that Jason had helped Robin through a difficult time, so Robin intended to return the favor. After Robin and Patrick left, Sam grabbed her coat with the intention of finding the package that Franco had left on the balcony.

Patrick entered Jason's hospital room. Patrick was a little surprised to see that Jason had stayed in the hospital. Jason explained that he wanted to know what he was facing, so he expected Patrick to be honest, if Robin's treatment didn't work. Patrick promised to be truthful, but he urged Jason to remain calm, because the dopamine levels aggravated Jason's situation; according to Patrick, Jason's anger towards Franco was killing Jason.

Robin spotted Carly as Carly exited the elevator, so she assured Carly that they were doing everything that they could "for him."

"For who?" Carly asked. Robin realized that Carly didn't know about Jason's situation, so Robin quickly filled Carly in. Carly wanted to know if Jason would be okay, so Robin admitted that she didn't know, but they were running out of time.

2/15 In the hospital's lab, Patrick assured Robin that Jason had not left the hospital. Robin feared that Jason sensed that his time was limited, so she was afraid that Jason might leave. Patrick and Robin discussed Jason's situation, and agreed that they would not give up. Robin explained that she would need Patrick to surgically implant the treatment, once she was able to find a cure for the brain swelling.

Patrick was confident that Robin would succeed. Robin then suggested that Patrick check on Anna and Emma, because Robin was afraid that Anna might inadvertently burn down their house while baking cookies for their daughter. Patrick refused to leave Robin's side until she had made some headway. Robin explained that she had narrowed it down to three viable possibilities.

Robin entered Jason’s room and asked to have a private word with Jason. After Sam and Carly left, Robin revealed that she had three leads but all of them would involve minor surgery. Jason was not pleased but he agreed to cooperate because he realized that he didn't have a choice. Robin and Jason reminisced about a time on the bridge when they had discussed their futures.

Robin insisted that Jason had too much to live for, so Jason told her about the baby. Robin was happy for Jason and Sam, so she assured him that she was confident that one of the three leads would work. Robin promised to return when she had good news, and then left.

In the lab, Robin was disappointed when her most promising lead failed to yield the results that she had hoped for. Patrick received a page, so he urged Robin to keep trying, and then left. Moments later, Carly stormed in, and then demanded to know how Robin intended to save Jason's life.

2/16 In the lab, Robin ordered Carly to leave, but Carly demanded to know how Robin intended to save Jason's life. According to Carly, Jason had too much to live for. Robin sarcastically pointed out that she wasn't in the lab, painting her nails, and then reminded Carly that Carly wasn't the only person who cared about Jason. Robin insisted that Carly was just getting in the way, but Carly refused to budge. Eventually, Robin threatened to call security on Carly but Patrick entered the lab before Robin picked up the phone.

Patrick wondered what was going on, so Robin explained that Carly thought that Robin should call someone else to help find a cure for Jason. Patrick explained to Carly that Robin was Jason's best chance. After Carly left, Robin vented about Carly's interruption; it had distracted Robin, and had planted seeds of doubt. Patrick encouraged Robin not to give up, but Robin feared that her best might not be enough. Patrick insisted that he believed in Robin, so he urged her to do the same.

Later, Matt entered the lab. He set a box down, and then explained that he was waiting for a patient to fly in from Dallas, who was a candidate for the cancer treatment that Matt had been working on. Matt hoped to figure out why the technique hadn't worked in some of the previous trials. Robin assured Matt that she would love to discuss it with him, but she needed to focus on her work.

Matt apologized, and then started to pull out some papers from the box. Robin glared at Matt, because the noise was distracting. Robin sighed in frustration, because she couldn't remember which chemical solution she had tested last. Matt wondered if she had made a note of it, so Robin explained that she had, but Matt's arrival had distracted her. Robin explained that she couldn't afford to make mistakes, because Jason was running out of time.

Matt promised to be quiet, but a phone call from his patient changed that. Matt became upset when he was informed that his patient's flight had been cancelled. Robin's temper flared when Matt accidentally knocked over one of the beakers of chemicals during his rant. Matt began to ramble about Maxie's antics, so Robin told him that she didn't want to hear it, because Jason's life was on the line. Matt immediately apologized, so Robin suggested that Matt go to the benefit gala, since his patient was stuck in Dallas.

After Matt left, Robin resumed working on a cure for Jason. However, her concentration was shattered when Maxie suddenly began to bang on the lab's locked door, demanding entrance. Robin reluctantly opened the door, and then explained that she didn't have time to deal with Maxie, but Maxie ignored her cousin. Robin explained that she was busy trying to save Jason's life, so Maxie accused Robin of making a big deal out of a few headaches.

Robin explained that Jason's condition was serious, because it might be fatal. Maxie insisted that Robin was exaggerating, because Robin cared about Jason. Robin decided to cut to the chase by asking why Maxie was there. Maxie revealed that Matt had broken things off with Maxie, and that it was Elizabeth's fault. Maxie proceeded to ramble about Matt, but Robin didn't see what any of it had to do with Elizabeth.

Maxie complained that Elizabeth was always pretending to be interested in Matt's work, so Robin suggested that perhaps Elizabeth was simply being nice, because Matt was socially awkward. Maxie accused Robin of always seeing the best in people, even though most people didn't deserve it. Maxie then began to babble about people doing bad things, without thinking them through. Robin realized that Maxie was referring to herself, so she asked what Maxie had done.

Jason clutched his head in pain. Sam immediately ran out of the room to fetch Patrick. Patrick examined Jason. Jason assured Patrick that it had just been a brief headache, and that it had passed, but Sam argued that Jason had been in significant pain. Patrick warned Jason and Sam that the frequency of the painful headaches would increase, as the swelling progressed. Patrick promised that Robin was working on a treatment, but Sam wanted to know how much time Jason had. Patrick admitted that he didn't know.

2/17 An agitate Maxie arrived at the lab to see Robin. Maxie reported that she'd told Monica that Elizabeth had stolen drugs from the hospital. Robin suggested that Maxie had sought her advice because she was feeling guilty. Maxie reasoned that Elizabeth deserved whatever was in store for her.

What Maxie really needed was for Robin to accompany her to Sonny's party at the Metro Court, Maxie said. She needed support in order to face Matt publicly. Robin tried to use her mother's visit as an excuse to keep from going, but Maxie played the pity card. "My mom's too busy to be bothered, so that leaves me with you," she cried.

As Maxie yanked up her purse to leave, the strap caught on a valve nozzle, which started the flow of gas. Monica stopped by for an update on Jason's treatment protocol. Robin explained that she'd ruled out the first two of the three she was testing and that she was waiting for the results of the third.

Anna arrived at the nurses' station with Emma. While Epiphany paged Patrick and Robin, Anna and Emma chatted. Epiphany reported that the doctors Drake were each tied up, so Anna took Emma for a hot dog while they waited.

Patrick arrived, and Epiphany razzed him about him never answering his pages. When she told him Anna and Emma had been waiting for him, he asked why Epiphany hadn't paged him. Patrick went to search for Robin, but Sam intercepted him. She asked whether Jason could leave, and Patrick explained that another seizure could be detrimental.

Robin caught up with her mother and daughter. They reminisced about some of Anna's kitchen disasters. Robin explained that she had to stay at the hospital while she waited for the lab results. Patrick arrived at the lab and was overcome by the fumes.

2/20 At General Hospital, Robin, Anna, and Emma played a game and talked, while, unknown to them, Patrick lay passed out in the lab where Robin had been working on Jason's protocol. Epiphany exchanged pleasantries with Emma. Robin inquired about Patrick. Epiphany told Robin that Patrick had gone to her lab.

After Robin left, Emma asked Anna questions about herself. Anna said that she had been chief of police just like Emma's Uncle Mac. Anna told Emma that law enforcement and medicine ran in their family, so Emma had a choice of careers when she grew up.

Emma told Anna that Robin had told her how brave Anna was. Anna said that Robin was braver than anyone Anna knew. Anna reflected on how fast time passed by. She said it seemed like "only yesterday" that Robin had been Emma's age. Anna said that as soon as Robin returned, she was going to tell Robin how much she loved her. Emma said she would do the same.

Robin found Patrick in the lab, passed out from the gas. She dragged him outside the door and gave him CPR. Patrick started breathing and regained consciousness. He told Robin that he had knocked over something in the lab. She ran to the door and saw that Jason's drug protocol was okay.

Patrick told Robin not to go in, but Robin rushed in to grab the vial. As she tried to exit, Robin knocked over a beaker and the lab door automatically locked before she could get out. Patrick started pounding on the door. Robin put Jason's protocol in the pass-through door and urged Patrick to take it and make sure that he administered it to Jason.

Smoke started filling the lab. Robin begged Patrick to leave before the emergency doors closed and he was also trapped. Patrick refused to leave her. Alarms started going off. Robin told Patrick that he had to take care of Emma. She told him that she loved him and Emma more than anything and that she would always love him.Robin demanded that Patrick leave her. Patrick continued to refuse, but finally went through the security doors to call for help. Before he could get back to Robin, the emergency doors locked, and the lab exploded.

2/21 At the nurses' station, Anna was alarmed when the building shuddered violently, but the hospital's staff appeared to dismiss it as minor, since none of the alarms had been triggered. Anna struck up a conversation with Spinelli when she spotted him standing nearby, by mentioning that Robin was working on a cure for Jason.

Later, Sam approached Anna to ask if Anna knew anything about the tremor that had shaken the hospital. Anna admitted that she was more concerned about Robin, because Robin had gone to the lab to look for Patrick, but she had not returned. Patrick pounded on the lab's locked doors, as Robin pleaded with Patrick to flee to safety. She assured him that he and Emma were in her heart, and then promised to always be with him. Patrick tearfully vowed to return with help, and then ran to the door.

Inside the lab, Robin collapsed as a drop of chemical hit the floor and then mixed with the fumes that had filled the lab. In the hallway, Patrick was thrown back as an explosion ripped through the lab. Patrick ran back to the lab, but smoke filled the room, so he was unable to see inside.

Patrick called 911 to report the blast, and to beg them to find a way to open the lab's sealed doors. The operator was unable to open the doors, so Patrick ripped an intravenous pole off of a wheelchair, and then tried to pry the doors open, but they remained firmly closed. Eventually, the fire department arrived. One of the firefighters had to hold Patrick back, while the rest of the firemen entered the lab.

Sam walked up, as Patrick pretended to cooperate long enough to break free, and then race to the lab. A firefighter blocked Patrick from entering the lab, and then explained that no one could have survived the fire. Patrick's eyes filled with tears of denial, so the fireman added, "She's gone," and then handed Robin's wedding ring to Patrick.

Patrick entered the lab, and then fell to his knees, sobbing with grief, as he saw Robin's body draped with a yellow tarp. Anna noticed the firefighters walking past the nurses' station as they talked about the investigating the fire in the lab. Seconds later, she saw Patrick round a corner. Anna wondered if he had seen Robin, but Patrick could only look at her with a grief-stricken expression. Anna realized that something terrible had happened, so she demanded to know, "Where's my daughter?"

2/22 At the nurses' station, Anna demanded to know what had happened to Robin. Patrick was too distraught to find the words to tell Anna about Robin's death, so Anna decided to go to the lab to get some answers. Patrick finally managed to show Robin's wedding and engagement rings to Anna, which the firefighters had recovered after the explosion. Patrick tearfully explained that no one could have survived the blast. Anna's eyes filled with tears, as she tried to deny what Patrick was telling her.

Patrick confessed that he had gone to the lab, smelled gas, and then had knocked something on the valve loose, before he had succumbed to the toxic fumes. He revealed that Robin had dragged him to safety, and then she had returned to the lab to fetch the drug protocol to save Jason's life, but the doors to the lab had closed, and then locked.

Patrick was furious that Robin had sacrificed her life for "that son of a bitch," and then tearfully apologized to Anna for not being able to save Robin. Anna decided that she needed to see her daughter for herself, but Patrick warned Anna not to go to the lab, because Robin had been burned beyond recognition. Tears of grief slid down Anna's cheeks as she realized that her daughter had perished in the explosion. Patrick admitted that it didn't seem real, and that he had no idea how to tell Emma that Robin had died.

Patrick decided that he needed to be with his daughter, so Anna offered to call Robert and Mac. Anna admitted that she hadn't talked to Robert in months, but she was certain that his superiors would be able to reach him. Patrick didn't think that Anna should have to make those calls, but Anna insisted that she needed something to focus on.

Anna stepped away, and then called Robert's handlers to inform them that she needed to reach Robert on an urgent matter. After she ended the call, Mac spotted her. Mac smiled brightly as he hugged Anna, unaware that she had devastating news for him.

At the nurses' station, Patrick put Robin's rings into his pocket, and then realized that he had the vial of medication that Robin had been working on for Jason. Sam rounded the corner, and then walked up to Patrick. She immediately saw the vial in Patrick's hand. Her face lit up with hope, as she asked if it were the medication to save Jason's life. Grief-stricken, Patrick glared at Sam.

2/23 Near the hospital's elevators, Anna informed Robert Scorpio's handlers that she needed to speak to Robert on an urgent matter. Mac spotted Anna as she ended the call. He warmly greeted Anna, and then hugged her. Mac immediately grew concerned when he noticed Anna's grim expression, and red-rimmed eyes. Anna pulled Mac into a conference room to tell him that Robin had died. Mac refused to believe it, as he argued that Robin's new medications were working. Anna gently explained that there had been an accident in the lab, and that Robin hadn't survived the explosion.

Mac stumbled backwards, as tears filled his eyes. "My Robin, my Robin," he cried. Mac insisted that he had loved his niece as if she had been his own child. Anna tearfully assured him that she believed him, and then admitted that she and Robert had been grateful for all that Mac had done for Robin. Mac wondered if his brother had been told, so Anna revealed that she had a call in to Robert. Mac realized that Maxie would need to be told about her cousin's death, so he decided to find Maxie. After Mac left, Anna closed the door, and then wept.

Meanwhile, Mac spotted Sonny near the nurses' station. Sonny realized that Mac was upset, so Mac coldly informed Sonny that Robin was dead. Sonny was taken aback by the news, so he asked Mac what had happened. Mac told Sonny about the explosion in the lab, and then wondered why Sonny appeared to be in shock when people died around Sonny all of the time. Michael sprang to his father's defense by reminding Mac that Sonny had nothing to do with the explosion. Mac angrily accused Sonny of causing Robin years of pain, and then insisted that her life would have been better if she had never met Sonny or Stone.

Sonny couldn't understand why Mac would say that, knowing that Robin had loved Stone with everything that she had. "And what did she get in return, Sonny?" Mac asked. Sonny argued that Stone wouldn't have hurt Robin, and that Stone hadn't realized that he had been HIV positive.

"What about you Sonny? What about all the people you love?" Mac asked, and then reminded Sonny that Michael and Dante had nearly died because of Sonny. Mac insisted that Robin had had a family who had loved her, but she had been in the lab getting medication to save Jason. According to Mac, Sonny and Jason were not worth saving.

Dante decided to take Mac home, so Dante asked Michael to keep their father from doing anything else to ruin the night, and then left with Mac. Sonny began to cry, as Michael hugged him. Sonny recalled promising Stone that he would take care of Robin.

Michael assured Sonny that Robin had been killed in a freak accident, so there was nothing that Sonny could have done to save Robin. Sonny vowed to keep his other loved ones safe, and then asked Michael to check on Jason. Michael was reluctant to leave Sonny alone, but Sonny insisted that he needed to wait for the discharge papers.

At the nurses' station, Sam spotted the vial in Patrick's hand, which had Jason's name printed on it. She wondered if it were the drug protocol that Robin had been working on to save Jason's life. "This is it," Patrick confirmed. Sam wondered if it would work, but Patrick told her that it didn't matter. "Robin died working on this, and there's no way in hell I'm going to let him have it," Patrick vowed. Sam was stunned. Sam realized that Patrick was going through a difficult time. Patrick bristled at her choice of words; he explained that difficult was losing a job or flunking out of medical school, not telling his daughter that her mother had died.

Sam tearfully reminded Patrick that the medication was Jason's only chance for survival, but Patrick was unmoved. He informed Sam that he didn't care about Jason, but Sam argued that Robin would want Patrick to save Jason. Sam realized that Patrick was hurting, but she reminded him that Jason was getting worse, and that Patrick was the only person who could save her husband.

Patrick argued that it was Jason's fault that Robin was dead, because she had run into the lab to fetch the vial of medicine. Sam was certain that Patrick didn't really see things like that, but Patrick assured her that he did. Patrick started to leave, but Sam grabbed his arm, and then pleaded with Patrick to reconsider.

She insisted that Robin would want him to save Jason, and then added that Robin would have risked her life for any other patient, not just Jason. Patrick resented Sam talking about Robin, as if Sam had known Robin well enough to know what Robin had thought. Sam immediately apologized, and then admitted that no child should have to grow up without a parent, like Emma would. "Including mine," Sam added.

"How dare you play that card?" Patrick growled. Sam was unapologetic, as she pointed out that her child would grow up without its father. Sam appreciated that Patrick might not want to do the surgery, so she begged him to give the medicine to another doctor to implant. Patrick informed Sam that only he could successfully perform the operation.

Patrick wondered why he should operate on a man who would continue to risk his life. Patrick reminded Sam that Jason hadn't bothered to change for Jake, or for her, so it was doubtful that Jason would change for Sam's baby. Sam insisted that Jason deserved to be a father, but Patrick didn't agree. Sam begged Patrick to change his mind, and then pleaded with him not to put her through the same kind of grief that he was going through. Sam implored Patrick not to take his pain out on Jason, because it wasn't what Robin would have wanted.

Patrick argued that Robin would have wanted to live, and to watch Emma grow up. Sam was curious how Patrick had gotten the medicine. Patrick was reluctant to answer, but Sam already knew the answer, because it was clear that Robin had given Patrick the vial before she had died. Sam insisted that it meant that Robin had wanted Jason to live, so Patrick needed to honor that. Patrick made it clear that he didn't have to do anything. Sam was shocked. "What did you just say?" she asked.

"No," Patrick replied. Sam warned Patrick that Jason would die if Patrick didn't operate. "Good," Patrick told her. Sam reminded Patrick that he was a doctor, so he couldn't just let someone die. Patrick pointed out that he had just lost his wife, but Sam argued that it didn't give Patrick the right to ruin Sam's life. She promised him that it wouldn't make him feel better, and then began to grovel.

Anna walked up, and then asked what was going on. Sam was confident that Patrick would do the right thing, because he was a good man. She offered Anna her condolences, and then left. Anna revealed that she hadn't been able to reach Robert, but she had told Mac. "You told him that Robin is dead?" Patrick coldly asked. "Don't say it like that," Anna replied. "It's true, isn't it? In my mind, so is Jason," Patrick said.

2/24 Anna tried to reason with Patrick, who blamed Jason for Robin's death. Patrick wouldn't save Jason's life, because Jason was a hit man; Patrick believed he'd actually be saving lives by letting Jason die. "Robin would never forgive you," Anna admonished. Patrick wondered how he would tell Emma that her mommy was dead. Anna left to call Robert. Patrick emerged from the elevator. His and Sam's eyes met, as he scowled in her direction. He agreed to do the procedure, to honor Robin's last act.

2/27 Mac arrived and wanted to speak to Maxie, but she was out. Spinelli offered to take a message, but Mac said it had to be delivered in person. Mac told Spinelli that Robin was dead. Spinelli tried to call Maxie, but she did not answer her phone.

Spinelli offered his sincere condolences and told Mac that Robin had been a wonderful doctor who had often put the needs of others above her own. He added that Maxie would be devastated and that she would need Mac.Mac said that Maxie would also need Spinelli. Mac remembered how much help and how kind Spinelli had been to Maxie when Georgie had been killed. Mac said that Maxie had fallen apart, and it had been Spinelli who had gotten Maxie through her ordeal.

Mac said Maxie would need Spinelli again because Spinelli was truly Maxie's friend. Mac got a phone call. It was police business, and he said that he had to go. Mac asked Spinelli to call as soon as Maxie got home. Spinelli feared that Maxie might hear about Robin from someone else before Mac could tell her. Mac thought about it and asked Spinelli to tell Maxie what had happened to Robin and to stay with her until Mac could get back. Spinelli agreed.

At GH, Patrick finally agreed to do the procedure on Jason. Sam was tearful and grateful. Patrick said he was only doing it for Robin. Sam asked Patrick not to tell Jason about Robin for fear that it would kill Jason. Patrick got angry and said that Robin was dead because of Jason. He questioned Sam's right to ask him to protect Jason's feelings.

In his room, Jason had a conversation with ghost Robin. When he said he was glad that Robin was there, Robin asked, "Where else would I be?" Jason told her that Sam had told him about the explosion. Robin said that she was not feeling any pain and that soon Jason would not be feeling any pain either. Monica, who was sitting by Jason's bed, woke him and said that Jason had been talking in his sleep.

Patrick strolled into Jason's room and said that he had something to tell Jason about Robin. When Jason inquired, Patrick said that Robin was gone. Sam jumped in and said that Robin had gone home because she had been working hard and was tired. Jason said that Robin was an amazing friend.

Patrick responded that he hoped Jason appreciated everything that Robin had given up for him. Jason said that he did. Patrick told Jason that if Jason really wanted to repay Robin, he should make his life worth saving. Patrick said that the procedure would begin in an hour and that a nurse would be in to prep Jason and then left abruptly.

As the nurse prepped Jason, Monica and Sam talked in the hall. Monica said that perhaps another surgeon should do the procedure. Sam said that Patrick had pulled Jason through before and would do it again. Monica acquiesced. Monica told Sam that Jason had been talking in his sleep. She said that all Jason seemed to want was to spend time with Sam and their baby. A nurse emerged from Jason's room and told Monica and Sam that Jason was ready. Monica told Sam to spend a little time with Jason before the surgery.

As Sam entered Jason's room, she heard him leaving a message for Robin. Jason thanked Robin for all that she had done for him and told her that he would see her on the other side. As Jason was being wheeled to OR, Jason told Sam that he loved her and Sam told Jason that she loved him. Sam thanked Patrick, who told Sam not to thank him yet.

Sam followed Jason. Patrick watched and touched his wedding ring. Robin appeared beside him and touched the hand that was touching the ring. Patrick said, "Please forgive me," and walked away. Robin's imaged faded from view as a nurse walked by the place where Robin had been standing.

2/28 At the apartment, Spinelli tried to get Maxie to sit down, so that he could break the news to her about Robin's tragic death, but Maxie was on a tangent about Matt. She assured Spinelli that she appreciated his friendship, but she was determined to make things work with Matt, so she wanted Spinelli to move out.

Spinelli continued to make an effort to get Maxie to sit down, but she continued to babble about her future with Matt. Once Maxie ran out of steam, Spinelli asked, "Are you finished?" Maxie explained that he would have time to move, but she needed him out by the following day. Spinelli admitted that he didn't have the right words to tell her what he needed to, so he simply revealed that Robin had been killed. Maxie looked at Spinelli for a long moment, and then asked him to repeat what he had said.

Spinelli started to tell Maxie about the accident in the lab, but Maxie angrily accused Spinelli of lying. Maxie insisted that Robin was her cousin, best friend, and like a sister, so it wasn't possible for Robin to die. Maxie couldn't believe that Spinelli would tell her such a horrible lie, so she ordered him to be gone by the time that she returned from her bedroom.

Later, Spinelli was waiting for Maxie when she entered the living room. He showed her the news footage about the explosion in the hospital's lab, but Maxie accused him of manufacturing the footage to give his lie merit. Spinelli insisted that Robin was gone, and then reached out to Maxie, as she dissolved into tears. Maxie was filled with regret, because she and Robin had argued about going to the benefit. Maxie was certain that Robin would have been alive if Robin had gone to Metro Court with Maxie. Maxie was inconsolable, as Spinelli held her.

In the operating room, Jason asked Patrick to thank Robin for all she had done, before succumbing to the anesthesia. Patrick looked up, to see Robin standing across the room, watching him. Patrick began to operate, but then hesitated. Robin asked him what he was doing, so Patrick admitted that he was reluctant to save Jason's life. Robin was confident that Patrick didn't want to let Jason die, but Patrick wondered why Jason should live when she hadn't.

Jason's vital signs plummeted. Robin urged Patrick not to tank the operation on purpose, but Patrick argued that no one would ever suspect that he had done it. Robin insisted that Patrick couldn't leave Jason a "vegetable," and that it wasn't Patrick's place to play God. Patrick cried that he didn't know what to do without her, so Robin reminded him to focus on being a father to their daughter, Emma. Robin begged Patrick not to abandon Emma, because she didn't deserve to lose both of her parents.

Robin claimed that Patrick was better than that, but Patrick confessed that hurting Jason was the only thing that he could do. Robin argued that Patrick wouldn't be the man that she had fallen in love with if he hurt Jason intentionally. Patrick focused on the operation. The operation appeared to go well, until Jason's vital signs once again dropped. Sam spotted Patrick exit the elevator. Patrick confirmed that the operation was over, so Sam asked him if Jason were okay.

2/29 In the waiting area, Sam confessed that she knew how difficult things had been for Patrick, but Patrick wasn't interested in what Sam had to say. He insisted that she had no way of understanding his grief, so he didn't want to hear her talk about it. Sam quickly apologized, but Patrick wasn't satisfied. He informed her that he was in hell alone, until he had to tell his daughter about Robin's death, and then Emma would join him.

Sam decided to change the subject by asking if Jason had survived the surgery. "I know you want me to say yes, but I can't," Patrick replied. Sam became alarmed, so she demanded to know what had happened. Patrick explained that he had done all that he could for Jason, so the surgery had been a success; however, they wouldn't know the results of the serum until Jason woke up.

Sam started to thank Patrick, but he made it clear that he had done it for Robin, not Sam and Jason. Patrick believed that it would have been a favor to society by allowing Jason to die on the operating table. However, Robin was the one in the morgue, while Jason was resting in recovery. "You happy?" Patrick wondered. Sam assured Patrick that she was devastated by Robin's death, because Robin had been an amazing woman.

Patrick confessed that he couldn't imagine talking about Robin in the past tense, especially when Jason was alive. Sam promised Patrick that Jason would always love Robin, and never forget what she had done for him. Patrick told Sam to go see Jason, so she left. Moments later, Patrick slid down the wall as tears filled his eyes.

Epiphany spotted Patrick, so he quickly got up, and then sat down in a chair. Epiphany took the seat next to him, and then advised him to not say or do anything; she just wanted him to listen. Epiphany knew that Patrick felt like his pain was mired in quicksand, but she promised him that he would eventually find his way out, for Emma's sake. Patrick didn't know how to do that, but Epiphany was certain that he would find the strength.

Epiphany insisted that Emma would need Patrick to crack jokes, play dress-up, and hold his daughter's hand, so keeping Emma going would help Patrick. Patrick doubted that he would be able to do that, but Epiphany assured Patrick that he was a good man, with a lot of good left to do. Epiphany started to walk away, so Patrick called out to thank her. Epiphany ordered him to do as she said, and then insisted that they would never speak of it again.

Robert Scorpio arrived at Robin's house. Anna greeted her ex-husband at the door, and then invited him in. Robert demanded to know what had been so important that she had insisted on seeing him while he had been on a mission. Anna quietly asked Robert to take a seat, but she didn't have an opportunity to tell him about Robin, because Emma entered the living room. "Grandpa," Emma happily greeted her grandfather.

Robert enjoyed a reunion with his granddaughter, and then presented her with a gift of two stuffed koala bears that he had bought for his "Princess Scorpio." Anna fought back tears, as Robert visited with Emma. Emma was curious where Robin was, because Emma wanted pancakes. Robert confessed that he loved pancakes. Anna assured Emma that Robin was at the hospital, and then sent her granddaughter to play in the bedroom. Robert realized that something was wrong, and that Anna didn't want Emma to know about it.

Anna revealed that Robin had been killed in a lab explosion. Robert refused to believe it, but Anna insisted that it was true, and that Patrick had witnessed the tragedy. Robert wondered where Patrick was, so Anna explained that Patrick was at the hospital, operating on a patient. Robert didn't hide his disdain, but Anna insisted that it had been an important surgery. Robert ignored the remark, as he tried to accept what Anna had told him about their daughter.

Robert argued that there had to be a mistake, and then decided that he needed to see Robin for himself. Anna urged Robert to reconsider, because there had been nothing left of their daughter to see. Robert was heartbroken at the realization of what Anna was telling him. However, he remained determined to see his daughter's body. Anna tried to stop Robert from leaving, but he brushed her off as he stormed out of the door.

3/1 Anna greeted Patrick as he arrived home and shared her concern that Robert might do something extreme. Patrick told Anna that she should go after Robert, but Anna wanted to stay to help Patrick break the news of Robin's death to Emma. Patrick and Anna reminisced about their lives with Robin.

Anna did leave to look for Robert. As Patrick prepared to tell Emma that her mommy had died, he asked Robin to give him guidance and strength. As he worried he wouldn't be able to handle the talk with his daughter, Elizabeth knocked on the door. Patrick welcomed her in and told her he'd thought it had been Robin at the door.

Liz offered her condolences. Patrick let her know that Robin's work had been successful and that Jason was going to be fine, and Elizabeth was thankful. She reminded Patrick that Robin, when she'd thought her AIDS protocol was failing, had asked Liz to look out for Patrick and Emma. Emma ran into the room. Patrick and Elizabeth began to explain to her that Robin had gone to heaven.

As Robert was about to enter the morgue, Mac stopped him. Robert became belligerent, and Mac tried to calm him down, but Robert sucker-punched him and went into the morgue and locked the door behind him. Once inside, Robert began to cry. Mac begged his brother not to look at Robin's corpse. Anna arrived, and Mac filled her in on the situation. She went to get security to open the door.

Inside, Robert was happy to find Robin standing there. She explained to him what had happened to her. She asked why he hadn't been there to save her. As he began to apologize, he looked up, and she was gone. Anna returned with the keys and opened the door, just as Robert bolted out. Mac went after his brother.

Anna went into the morgue and began to pull back the sheet covering Robin's body. Before she revealed her daughters face, Anna received a text message from Robert, which stated, "I'm sorry. I can't do this. I love you, Goodbye." She called him but got his voicemail, so she called Luke instead.

3/2 Luke went to see Anna at Kelly's. Anna let Luke know that Robin had been working in the lab to save Jason's life. She also explained how the explosion had happened. Luke urged her not to play the "what if" game. Anna worried that Robert was doing just that, and she was afraid he might do something rash.

Luke suggested that Robert needed time to digest what had happened, but Anna shared the text message she'd received from Robert. Luke had an idea where Robert might have gone and left to check out the hunch. As Robert stood at the edge of a bridge, Luke walked up. "I thought I might find you here," declared Luke, then asked, "Enjoying the view?"

3/5 Luke found a distraught Robert standing on the ledge of the bridge where Robin had gone to think about Stone. Luke asked Robert what was going on. Luke said that Anna had gotten Robert's message. Luke then inquired if Robert intended to take the easy way out. Robert said that his message had not been a cry for help, but he had thought that he should say goodbye. Robert asked how Luke had found him.

Luke said that the bridge was a special spot for Robin and that Luke had been there many times with Robin and Stone to bungee jump, although, Luke added, it was Stone who did the bungee jumping while Luke and Robin watched. Robert said that the bridge was also the place where Robin had scattered Stone's ashes and that he could envision her there grieving alone. Robert questioned himself and why he had not been on hand when Robin had needed him.

Robert said that he had made putting his life on the line to swoop in for a last minute rescue an art form, but questioned what it had gotten him when all he had to show for it was seeing his child die before he did. Robert despaired because he had not been able to save Robin. Luke agreed that there was nothing worse than losing a child. Robert said that Lucky had not died, even though Luke had thought so at one time.

Robert said that Lucky had returned, but Robin would not be back because he had seen her burnt body in the morgue, and he could not stop thinking about what she had suffered. Robert asked if Luke could live with something like that. Luke said that he could if he knew that people were depending on him. Robert said that Robin had needed him, and he had not been around.

Robert questioned the many times he had saved people who had not meant anything to him but had been unable to save Robin, even though Robin had saved Robert when she had nursed him through cancer. Robert said that he did not deserve Robin's love, that he did not deserve anything. When it appeared that Robert was about to jump, Luke leaped over the guardrail. Robert told Luke not to try to pull him back. Luke said he would not pull Robert back, but would jump with him.

When Robert said that Luke was being insane, Luke quipped, "Says the man on the ledge." Robert continued to grieve and said that he should have been there for Robin. Luke asked Robert when he had developed psychic powers. Robert said he should have protected Robin.

Luke pointed out that neither Patrick nor Robin would have appreciated it if Robert had hovered over them. Robert replied that Robin had not been a priority. Luke responded that Robert had never killed a four-year-old. Luke told Robert about Jake's death and how Luke was responsible. Robert said it had been an accident, but Luke said something inside him had broken, and he could not get rid of the image of Jake bleeding in the street.

Luke said that he, too, had wanted to end the pain in one fell swoop, but he soldiered on because people were depending on him. Luke said that he had gutted it out, and Robert could do the same. Robert said that Luke had other children and mentioned Lucky, Lulu, and Ethan. Robert said that he had had only one child. As Robert prepared to jump off the bridge, Luke blurted out that Ethan was Robert's child.

Anna arrived home and asked about Patrick. Elizabeth said that Patrick had not left Emma's side since telling her the sad news. Elizabeth said that she had delivered some food and asked if there was anything that she could do for Anna. Anna said that Elizabeth could help Anna plan Robin's funeral.

3/6 On the bridge, Robert continued to gaze down at the churning waters as Luke desperately tried to talk his friend out of jumping to his death. In a last-ditch effort, Luke revealed that Ethan was Robert's son, but Robert easily saw through the lie. Luke urged Robert to talk to Holly, to confirm the claim, so Robert argued that Holly was not to be trusted, because she always had an agenda. Luke insisted that Holly had produced a paternity test to prove that Robert was Ethan's father, but Robert wasn't swayed.

Luke reminded Robert that Robert had been married to Holly during the time of Ethan's conception, so Robert shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility that Ethan was indeed Robert's son. Robert was curious why Ethan would even need to know the truth, when Ethan had Luke to lean on. "'Cause I can't save him; you can," Luke answered.

Luke explained that Helena had used her own daughter, Cassandra, to seduce Ethan, who had quickly fallen in love with Helena's daughter. Robert was shocked when Luke revealed that Helena had then murdered Cassandra before Ethan's eyes. According to Luke, Helena had then snatched Ethan, and disappeared. Luke insisted the Robert was the only person who would be able to hunt down Helena.

Robert sensed that Luke was lying, but Luke forged ahead, by playing on Robert's guilt. Luke wondered if Robert were truly prepared to plunge to his death, knowing that Robert would be failing Ethan the same way that Robert had failed Robin. Luke then asked if Robert really wanted to lose two children in one week. Robert cried that it hurt being a in a world without Robin, knowing that he couldn't save her. Luke argued that Robert could still save Ethan. Robert finally relented, so he climbed over the railing to safer ground.

Luke followed his friend. Robert wasn't pleased with Luke, but Luke insisted that he knew Robert well enough to be certain that Robert would never have wanted to turn his back on Ethan and send Ethan to an early grave.

At Crimson, Maxie flashed back to when she had picked up her purse in the lab, and inadvertently pulled off the hose to the gas valve. Maxie's knees began to buckle, but Matt was there to grab her before she hit the floor. Maxie began to weep, as Matt held her tightly. Maxie revealed that she'd had a terrible argument with Robin shortly before Robin's death, and that Maxie had angrily accused Robin of being selfish, before Maxie had stormed out. Matt reminded Maxie that she couldn't have known what would happen.

Maxie wanted to know what had caused the explosion. Matt explained that it was still under investigation, but the preliminary reports indicated that the blast had been the result of a gas leak. Maxie had another image of her purse knocking the hose on the gas valve loose. "I'm so sorry," Maxie sobbed. "Robin's death is all my fault. It's all my fault," she cried. Matt insisted that Maxie stop blaming herself, and then suggested that he take her home, so that she could rest.

Maxie angrily shook off Matt's hands, and then announced that she intended to stay at work. Matt tried to persuade her to change her mind, but Maxie coldly ordered Matt to leave. Matt hesitated, and then quietly broached the subject of Spinelli. He thought that it might help Maxie if she had Spinelli to lean on at home. Maxie informed Matt that Spinelli had already moved out, so it was too late. "Some things can't be undone. Not ever," Maxie said with her back to Matt.

3/7 At the Drake residence, Anna greeted Robert, and then wondered where he had been. Robert explained that he had gone to Blackstone Canyon, so Anna questioned him about the alarming text message that he had sent to her. Robert assured Anna that everything was fine, because he had seen a new light at the end of the tunnel.

Mac, who quietly watched the exchange, pointed out that all that mattered was that Robert was there. Robert shocked Anna and Mac by announcing that it was only temporary. Anna was stunned when Robert revealed that he was Ethan Lovett's father. Anna and Mac had doubts about the claim, but Robert assured them that it was true. Mac urged Robert to get a DNA test to confirm Holly's story, but Robert explained that there wasn't time, because Ethan needed to be rescued.

Anna reminded Robert that they had their daughter's funeral to plan, but Robert argued that time was of the essence; he was determined to save his son, because he hadn't been able to save his daughter. Robert then pointed out that Mac had been a bigger part of Robin's life than Robert had been, so Mac's presence at the funeral was more important.

Anna insisted that they needed to band together as a family for Robin's funeral, but Robert insisted that Ethan might not have time. Robert decided to go to Emma's bedroom to say goodbye. Anna started to follow Robert, but Mac pulled her back. Mac suggested that it was for the best, because it was clear that Ethan had given Robert a purpose, and a reason to keep living. A short time later, Robert returned to the living room, and told Anna that Emma had lost the koala bear that he had given to his granddaughter.

Anna assured Robert that she would look for it, so Robert revealed that he had promised Emma that he would return for a visit. Anna warned Robert that she would hold him to it. Anna then reminded Robert of the Christmas that they had spent with Robin, shortly after Emma's birth. Anna recalled that Robin had told each of them how much they had meant to her, including Robert. Robert agreed that it had been a magical night for all of them. Anna wanted Robert to hold onto that memory.

After Robert and Mac left, Anna searched for the koala bear. She spotted it tucked into the corner of the living room. She picked it up, clutched it closely, and then sat down in a chair, as the tears began to fall.

Mac arrived at Maxie’s. Mac thanked Lulu for calling him, as Maxie ran into his waiting arms. Maxie sobbed on Mac's shoulder, and repeatedly apologized, so Mac insisted that Maxie had nothing to be sorry for.

3/14 Mac banged on Maxie's apartment door, but Maxie didn't respond. Mac was certain that Maxie was inside the apartment, so he threatened to kick down the door if she didn't open it. Moments later, Lulu arrived. Lulu assured Mac that it wasn't necessary to resort to breaking the door, because she had a key. After Lulu opened the door, Mac was relieved to see Maxie sitting on the sofa. Maxie apologized for not answering the door; she explained that she'd had other things on her mind.

Mac assured Maxie that he understood, because he had become distracted with thoughts of Robin earlier that morning, while making coffee. Mac and Lulu were startled when Maxie announced that she intended to go to work, instead of to Robin's funeral. Mac promised Maxie that he and Lulu would be at Maxie's side to help her through the funeral, but Maxie refused to change her mind.

According to Maxie, she was needed at work. Mac warned Maxie that avoiding the funeral would not change anything; Robin would still be gone. Mac insisted that it was important for Maxie to have closure, but Maxie wasn't swayed. Maxie claimed that she wasn't interested in sharing her memories of Robin with everyone, and that everything that had made Robin who she was had disappeared when Robin had died in the lab.

Mac argued that Robin being in the lab showed what kind of selfless person Robin had been. Mac thought that they should celebrate Robin, but Maxie coldly pointed out that Emma would not be celebrating. Undeterred, Mac insisted that Robin would want them to help each other through the difficult days ahead. Maxie belligerently argued that Robin wouldn't want Maxie to lose her job. Lulu tried to reason with her friend, but Maxie remained determined to go to work, so she stomped off to her bedroom to change.

Mac feared that the loss of Robin had been too much for Maxie to bear, because Maxie had already lost so many important people in her life. Lulu explained to Mac that Maxie felt guilty, because Maxie had argued with Robin shortly before the explosion. Maxie overheard Mac insist that Robin's death had been a horrible accident, so Maxie had nothing to feel guilty about.

Moments later, Maxie returned to the living room, dressed for work. Mac warned Maxie that she would always regret not going to Robin's funeral, but Maxie disagreed. According to Maxie, she barely remembered Georgie's funeral. Maxie explained that Georgie's funeral had been one big painful blur, and that no one had made Maxie feel better, nor had the funeral provided Maxie with any closure. Maxie suggested that perhaps it was the way that Maxie was wired, so she didn't see the point in going to Robin's funeral.

Mac promised to help Maxie through it, but Maxie refused to change her mind. "Sorry, Dad," Maxie told him. Maxie was certain that, if Robin and Maxie's roles had been reversed, Robin would have gone to Maxie's funeral, but Maxie was the selfish one. After Maxie left, Lulu started to follow her friend, but Mac stopped her.

Luke entered the church in time to watch Anna light a candle for her daughter. Anna spotted Luke standing in the aisle, so she approached him. Anna explained that Robin had believed in God, and that Robin's faith had helped Robin throughout Robin's life. Anna's eyes filled with tears, as she confessed that she would like to believe in an afterlife, and that she could use some of her daughter's faith. Luke smiled sadly at Anna, so she wondered if he believed in God. "No, I'm not big on mythology," Luke replied.

However, Luke admitted that he believed that love gave meaning to a person's life. Anna doubted that she could go through with the funeral, so she started to leave. Luke stopped Anna by gently grabbing her arm. He was certain that Anna would find the strength to get through the service.

Luke then guided Anna to one of the back pews, where they sat down. Anna admitted that she didn't know whom she was more angry at: God, or whoever was responsible for taking Robin from them, or Robert for leaving town before Robin's funeral.

Luke assured Anna that Robert had loved Robin, but Anna reminded Luke that Robert had missed a large part of Robin's life. Anna then conceded that she had too. Anna wished that she could do it all over again, but Luke advised her not to go there. Anna confessed that she resented Robert for not being there, and for leaving her to say goodbye to Robin alone. Luke admitted that she should be mad at him, not Robert, because Luke had been responsible for Robert leaving town. Luke had a flashback of explaining to Ethan why Luke had lied to Robert about Ethan's paternity.

Anna was curious what had happened after Robert had left the morgue. Luke admitted that he'd had to give Robert a reason to go on, so he had told Robert that Ethan was Robert's son. Anna realized how difficult it had been for Luke to share that secret, because she knew that Luke had loved Ethan. Luke shrugged, and then explained that Robert had needed Ethan more. Luke was confident that Robert and Ethan would be good for each other.

Anna glanced at a picture of Robin. She confided that she was glad that she had been able to spend some time with her daughter before Robin's death. Luke was curious if Anna intended to stick around after the funeral, so Anna explained that she had to, because Patrick and Emma needed her. Anna wondered how long Luke planned to remain in Port Charles, so he admitted that he refused to make any promises, because he couldn't handle the disappointment when he failed to keep them.

Anna argued that Luke had shown up far more in his children's lives than he gave himself credit for. Anna assured Luke that Robert would step up to the plate with Robert's "brand new son." However, she had no idea how to get through the funeral. Luke suggested that she could lean on him. He then told her that she and Robert had done a fine job raising Robin. Anna bragged that Robin had embraced life, and always had her priorities straight.

Luke insisted that Robin had been lucky to have Anna for a mother. Anna smiled sadly, as she confessed that children profoundly changed one's life. Luke talked about Lucky and Lulu, prompting Anna to wonder if he had told Lulu about Ethan. Luke confessed that he hadn't. "Told me what?" Lulu asked from the doorway.

Patrick was sleeping in bed when Robin asked him to wake up. She wanted to go to the hospital to check on Jason, so Patrick assured her that the operation had been a success. Robin smiled as Patrick told her that they made a great team. "Don't you forget it," Robin replied. Robin started to kiss Patrick, but then he woke up. Patrick looked at Robin's side of the bed, and then cried when he realized that it was empty.

Later, Patrick was in the shower. He felt Robin caress him from behind, so he turned to look at her, but she wasn't there. Afterwards, Patrick sat on the bed as he tried to tie his necktie. Patrick thought of Robin, who suddenly appeared before him. He confessed that she looked beautiful, but Robin warned him that it was time to get going. Patrick admitted that he didn't want to go anywhere; he wanted to stay with Robin.

Robin smiled indulgently, and then reminded Patrick that Emma was waiting for him. Robin noticed that Patrick was having difficulty with his necktie, so she reached forward to tie it for him. Patrick began to cry as she adjusted his tie. Afterwards, Robin announced that she was done. "How's that?" she asked. "It's perfect," Patrick told her. Moments later, he opened his eyes, and then looked down to see that his necktie had been tied.

Elizabeth arrived at the Drake residence to see how everything was going. Matt revealed that Emma hadn't slept much. Seconds later, Emma ran out to greet Elizabeth. Elizabeth hugged the little girl, as Matt announced that they'd had chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.

Emma confided that it had been her mother's favorite. Elizabeth admitted that Cam loved chocolate chip pancakes, too, and then changed the subject by confessing that she'd heard that Anna had bought Emma a beautiful dress. Elizabeth suggested that Emma put the dress on, but Emma admitted that she didn't want to say goodbye to Robin.

Elizabeth assured Emma that none of them wanted to, and then reminded Emma of the conversation that Patrick and Elizabeth had had with Emma about Robin being in heaven. Elizabeth explained that Robin had an important job to do in heaven, as a guardian angel that would watch over Emma.

Emma wondered if Robin would see Emma at her dance recital, so Matt and Elizabeth assured Emma that Robin would. Matt made Emma giggle by demonstrating a pirouette. Elizabeth gently explained that they needed to say goodbye to Robin, and wish her luck, before Robin could start her new job.

Emma smiled, and then dashed off to change clothes. Elizabeth praised Matt for making Emma smile, so Matt confessed that he wished that he could do the same for Patrick. Later, Elizabeth returned to the living room to announce that Emma was almost ready, but she had decided to let Emma play for a few more minutes, because it would be a long day for the little girl.

Later, Patrick entered the living room. Emma ran into her father's arms. Patrick hugged his daughter, and then Elizabeth took Emma to the bedroom to put on some shoes. Matt sat down on the sofa next to his brother, and then put his arm across Patrick's shoulders. Matt promised that they would get through the day together, but Patrick had no idea how he would manage it, because he saw Robin everywhere. Patrick feared that he wouldn't be able to help Emma, because he could barely keep it together.

3/15 At the nurses' station, Monica wondered why Epiphany wasn't at Robin's funeral. Epiphany explained that she had considered going, but then had realized that the best way to honor Robin was to take care of the patients. Monica confessed that she had felt the same way, and then admitted that she had also wanted to be close to Jason. Epiphany revealed that Jason was awake.

Monica smiled, because she had already heard the good news. Epiphany then confided that Carly had been trying to sneak into Jason's room, so Epiphany was determined to honor Sam's wishes to keep Carly away from Jason. Monica feared that Carly would just be more inclined to get to Jason; however, Monica agreed to do her part to keep Carly from succeeding. Epiphany and Monica were unaware that Carly lurked nearby, eavesdropping on their conversation.

A short time later, Carly smiled wickedly, as she approached an orderly in the hallway. Carly turned on the charm, as she flirted with the orderly to get him to let her into the supply closet. Afterwards, the orderly felt guilty, so he decided to alert Epiphany. Epiphany was livid.

Jason was determined to find Robin, so that he could thank her for saving his life. Sam blurted out that Jason couldn't see Robin, because Robin was gone. Jason was curious where Robin was, so Sam told him that she didn't know, but she was certain that Robin wasn't at home. Jason was frustrated, but Sam insisted that Jason wasn't strong enough to leave the hospital. Jason argued that he felt fine, but Sam refused to let him leave until a doctor had cleared him. Moments later, Alexis and Molly arrived to visit Jason and Sam.

Jason immediately asked to use Alexis' cell phone, so Alexis handed it to him. Jason called Robin, but reached her voicemail. He left a message, thanking Robin for everything that she had done, and then promised to get in touch with her as soon as possible. Jason handed the cell phone back to Alexis, and then announced that he intended to go home to fetch his phone. Sam turned to her mother for help, so Alexis advised Jason to wait until the doctors had a chance to examine him.

Jason wanted to see Patrick, but Sam explained that Patrick was not on duty. Jason was determined to find another doctor, so Sam offered to go to the nurses' station to see if one was available. Alexis followed Sam out of the room, leaving Molly behind to distract Jason with suggestions for baby names.

At the Drake residence, Elizabeth helped Emma put on a coat. Emma then showed her father a picture that Emma had drawn for Robin. Emma explained that she intended to give the drawing to Robin to take to heaven. Patrick assured Emma that it was a wonderful idea. Elizabeth and Matt headed to the church with Emma, so that Patrick could have a moment alone. After they left, Patrick looked around at his empty living room, until his eyes landed on his and Robin's wedding picture.

Patrick's eyes filled with tears as he gazed at the picture for a long moment. Afterwards, Patrick stood up, and shrugged on his jacket. Robin appeared before him as he turned towards the door. "You ready to go?" Patrick asked his beloved wife. Robin explained that he had to go without her.

Patrick worried that he wouldn't be able to do it, because he was nothing without Robin. Robin promised that she loved Patrick, and always would. She was confident that Patrick was strong enough to get through the day. After Robin's apparition disappeared, Patrick braced himself and then opened the door.

At the church, Mac told Anna that Maxie had decided not to attend the funeral. Anna thought perhaps Robert and Maxie were onto something, and then suggested that they all run away. Mac insisted that Anna needed to say goodbye to Robin, but Anna feared that she'd start screaming and not be able to stop.

Mac promised that they'd get through the funeral together, for Robin's sake. Anna thanked Mac for raising Robin, and all that he had done for her daughter. Mac expressed his own gratitude to Anna and Robert for allowing him to be a part of Robin's life. Anna tearfully confessed that she had no idea where the time had gone, because it had seemed like Robin had been a little girl "just yesterday."

At Crimson, Maxie sat at her desk, but couldn't concentrate when a picture of her and Robin snagged her attention. Maxie picked up the picture, as tears flooded her eyes. Maxie's grief turned to anger, as she recalled storming out of the lab and breaking the gas valve. Maxie swept everything off of her desk in a burst of rage, which was quickly followed by an outburst of tears.

At the church, Emma approached her grandmother to show Anna the picture that Emma had drawn for Robin. Anna was moved to tears, so Mac gently took Emma by the hand, so that Emma could place the drawing by a photograph of Robin. Anna asked Elizabeth where Patrick was. Elizabeth explained that Patrick had needed a moment alone at the house, so Matt, Elizabeth, and Emma had left. Anna wondered if Patrick intended to show up, so Elizabeth assured Anna that Patrick would be there.

Later, Anna wondered if perhaps the casket might frighten Emma. Mac doubted that Emma understood anything that was going on. Anna realized that it was for the best that they weren't going to a gravesite, because it would be too much for the little girl. Mac revealed that Elizabeth had arranged for a commemorative break at the hospital, so that everyone could attend a ceremony on the hospital's rooftop to honor Robin. Anna offered him a watery smile, and then wondered when the casket would be taken away for cremation. Mac quickly reminded Anna that only Robin's shell was in the casket; Robin's spirit was with them.

Luke checked on Anna, while Mac talked to Father Coates. Anna admitted that she was trying to stay strong for Emma. Luke warned Anna that the days and weeks ahead would be tough, and then wondered where Patrick was. Anna explained that Patrick had needed some time to pull himself together, so that he could find the strength to say goodbye to Robin. Anna and Luke then looked at the screen at the front of the church to watch the slideshow of the snapshots that Elizabeth had complied of Robin's life.

Moments later, Patrick arrived. Emma ran into her father's arms, and then told him that she had given her mother the drawing. Elizabeth stood behind Emma, and then explained that she had decided to take Emma outside to stretch their legs before the services started. Patrick agreed that it was a good idea.

Sonny approached Patrick to offer his condolences to Robin's husband. Patrick angrily informed Sonny that Sonny didn't have a right to be there, any more than "that murdering bastard, Jason." Sonny reminded Patrick that Robin had been special to Sonny, but Patrick argued that Sonny had fired a gun in Robin's home, while Emma had been in the next room. Sonny assured Patrick that he would always regret the incident, but it was meaningless to Patrick.

Patrick insisted that the only person who had less of a right to be at the funeral was Jason. Kate quickly defended Sonny by reminding Patrick that Robin had loved Sonny. Patrick argued that Sonny had only invited misery into Robin's life, and that Robin would be alive if it hadn't been for Jason. Sonny explained that he was simply there to pay his respects to Robin. Matt quickly ushered his brother away, before the argument escalated. Kate assured Sonny that it had just been Patrick's grief talking, but Sonny conceded that Patrick had a right to be angry. Sonny then walked over to Anna to tell her how sorry he was for her loss.

Anna admitted that she had heard that Sonny had been very kind to Robin. Sonny confessed that Robin had been far kinder to him than he had deserved. Anna agreed. After Sonny walked away, Luke approached Sonny. Luke revealed that he had heard that Sonny was a suspect in the death of a child. Sonny suggested that they focus on Robin, so Luke let the subject drop.

Moments later, the service began. Father Coates talked about the impact that Robin had had on everyone's life.

Dvd #16B Carly smiled wickedly, as she approached an orderly in the hallway. Carly turned on the charm, as she flirted with the orderly to get him to let her into the supply closet. Afterwards, the orderly felt guilty, so he decided to alert Epiphany. Epiphany was livid.

A short time later, Spinelli entered the Crimson office. Spinelli noticed the mess on the floor, so he wondered what had happened. Maxie's anger, and tears, confirmed that she was in a bad place. Maxie explained that she regretted a lot of things, but there had been one thing that she couldn't fix, so she'd rather be left alone.

According to Maxie, she didn't deserve to be comforted, but Spinelli disagreed. Spinelli realized that something else was troubling Maxie, but Maxie refused to tell him why she was racked with guilt. Instead, Maxie insisted that she was determined to get on with her life, and then ordered Spinelli to leave.

Spinelli wouldn't budge, because he thought that Maxie's pain might be eased if she were with Robin's loved ones. Maxie argued that there was nothing comforting about going to the funeral of someone who had died too young, and that she couldn't celebrate Robin's death. Spinelli suggested that she celebrate the life that Robin had lived. Spinelli was certain that Robin would have wanted Maxie at the funeral, but Maxie vehemently disagreed, because Spinelli hadn't been in the lab when Maxie and Robin had argued. Spinelli insisted that it wasn't right for someone who had loved Robin as much as Maxie had to be absent from the funeral.

As his wife's service began, Patrick avoided looking at the casket, his eyes filled with profound grief, as Father Coates invited the mourners to pay tribute to Robin. Mac was the first to give a eulogy. Mac talked about how much he had loved his niece. Memories of promising to love and support Robin, when she had been a little girl, flashed across his mind's eye as he spoke.

Mac admitted that he and Robin had taken care of each other, and then he began to talk about Stone. Mac confided that he had seen Robin's tremendous capacity for love and hope while she had stood by Stone's side after Stone's diagnosis of AIDS. Mac recalled that Robin had matured and become an adult that year.

Mac had been awed by Robin's courage when she had been diagnosed with HIV prior to Stone's death. According to Mac, Robin had faced her illness with strength and dignity. Mac then addressed Emma, reminding the little girl that they were family, and that there was nothing that they couldn't get through with each other at their side.

After Mac kissed Emma, Elizabeth walked to the podium to give her eulogy. Elizabeth commended Robin for being a great mother, but she acknowledged that her friend could be stubborn. Elizabeth reminded everyone that Robin had fought hard for those she had loved. Elizabeth then confided that Robin had once asked Elizabeth to step in for Robin, if Robin should die, but Robin was irreplaceable.

Sonny gave the next eulogy. Sonny explained that Robin had always had an open door policy with her heart. Sonny revealed that Robin had made her own judgments about people, instead of relying on the opinion of others. He admitted that there had been something special about Robin; she'd had a light inside of her that had shone through.

Sonny confessed that, like Mac, he had been a witness to the love that Robin had for Stone, and that he had watched her stand by Stone's side as Stone died of AIDS. Sonny revealed that Robin hadn't liked him at first, because she had thought that Sonny had been a terrible influence on Stone. However, Sonny and Robin had forged a strong friendship, borne of love and respect, as they had watched Stone succumb to AIDS.

3/16 Carly, dressed as a janitor, slipped into Jason's room. He asked her why she'd felt the need to go undercover. Carly explained that Sam had banned her, but Jason asked Carly to go easy on Sam. He also sensed that Carly was keeping something from him. They argued about Sam having banned Carly, but Carly said that she had to tell Jason something important. Sam had been lying to Jason for days, she announced. Carly began to cry as she told Jason that Robin had died.

Spinelli tried his best to persuade Maxie to attend Robin's funeral, but she'd have none of it. She refused to go and asked Spinelli to leave. After he exited, Maxie wept as she looked at a photo of her cousin.

Sonny eulogized Robin. He talked about how brave she'd been, how strong she was even as she faced her HIV diagnosis. He expressed his regret that he'd damaged the friendship he and Robin had shared.

Anna went next and shared some of her memories. She, too, expressed her regrets that she hadn't been there for so much of Robin's childhood. Anna also thanked everyone in Robin's life who had been supportive. Anna was especially happy that her daughter had found Patrick and that they'd had a beautiful daughter.

Anna began to apologize for Robert's absence, but the pastor announced that Robert had sent a letter, to be recited by Luke. Luke took to the pulpit and read Robert's words aloud. Robert had apologized for missing the service but explained that he'd been called away on an important mission by someone he trusted more than anyone else in the world. He'd been referring to Luke. Robert said that Robin had been handicapped, because she'd had him for a father. She'd grown up to be such an incredible person, he asserted, because of Anna's influence. He'd written that he was thankful for Robin's great capacity to forgive.

Patrick spoke next. He acknowledged that he wouldn't be able to say anything others hadn't already conveyed or had known all along. He said Robin had changed his life and had shown him what was truly important. Patrick began to break down, so Matt helped his brother back to the pews.

As the pastor began the service, Maxie rushed in, still wearing the bright, red dress she'd worn to work. Lulu and Matt tried to keep Maxie from saying anything she'd later regret. Maxie announced that she hated herself for what she'd done to Robin and that everyone else would hate her, too, once she explained.

Maxie blamed herself. She said she was a selfish person, whereas Robin was the most selfless person she knew. Maxie had accused Robin of not being supportive the night of the explosion. Spinelli stood up and tried to convince Maxie that she was being too hard on herself. "Robin knew the best of you, Maxie," he said. "That's what she treasured about you," he added. "I killed Robin!" Maxie cried.

3/19 At the memorial service for Robin, Maxie, dressed in a bright red dress, broke down and confessed that she was responsible for Robin's death. She shouted that she had been selfish and only cared about herself. Maxie said that she had been responsible for the broken handle on the gas jet. Spinelli, Matt, and Mac all tried to stop her. Each said that the explosion had been an accident and no one was to blame, but Maxie was not comforted. Maxie told the crowd that if she were a better person, Robin would still be alive. Elizabeth took Emma out of the sanctuary.

Maxie kept apologizing. Spinelli told her that taking the blame would not change anything. Maxie told Mac to arrest her, but Mac said that Maxie was not guilty of anything. Maxie started hyperventilating. Mac picked her up and said that he was taking her to General Hospital. Matt and Spinelli went with him.

Lulu went to Patrick and told him that Emma was all right and outside with Elizabeth. Patrick was shocked by the turn of events and said that he had wanted the day to be about Robin. Lulu said that it had been, and to look at all the people who had been there to honor Robin, even though a lot of them could not stand each other. Luke told the minister that it was time to wrap up the service.

At GH, Carly told Jason that Robin had perished in the lab explosion. Jason said that he had heard the explosion, but his head had started hurting, and Sam had told him that Robin was okay and that when Patrick had treated him, Patrick had merely said that Robin was gone. Jason wanted to know why he had not been told about Robin. Carly said it was because Sam would not let her tell. Jason wondered why Patrick had done the procedure on him. Carly said that Patrick had done it for Robin because Robin had gone back into the lab to get the medicine for Jason.

Carly said that Robin had gone back for the drug because she was a doctor, and that meant something to her. Carly said that Jason was Robin's friend and that meant even more to Robin. Carly told Jason not to blame himself. She said that Robin was Jason's friend, and he needed to find a way to honor that. Jason lamented that he had not had a chance to say goodbye. When he asked about the funeral, Carly told him that the service was being held that day. Jason left the hospital.

Mac, Spinelli, and Matt arrived at GH with Maxie, who continued to blame herself for Robin's death. Spinelli told her to stop blaming herself. Maxie told Mac to arrest her, but Mac insisted that it had been an accident with no intent to harm. Maxie replied that it had not been an accident when she had killed Lisa Niles. Spinelli said that Maxie did not know what she was saying. Maxie cried out that her name was Maxie Jones and that she was a murderer and deserved to be punished. She asked why Mac was standing there. She demanded that he arrest her. When Mac did not take action, Maxie said that her body count stood at three and that Mac must arrest her before she killed again.

Jason arrived at the church after the funeral was over and everyone was gone. He found a printed handout about Robin on the floor. Sam followed him in, and he confronted her about lying to him. Jason asked why Sam had not told him. Sam said that she had been waiting for the right time. Jason asked why she hadn't chosen all the times he had asked to see Robin or after the explosion when Sam had known that Robin was dead. Jason wanted to know why Sam had kept lying to him. Sam said that Jason had been dying, and she had been told to keep him calm.

Sam told Jason that if he had died, also, then Robin's death would have been for nothing. Sam said that she wanted to make sure that Robin's sacrifice had been worth it. Jason said that it was not. Sam responded that Robin had wanted Jason to be a father and to be part of his child's life. Jason said that Robin had people to live for as well. Sam said that she had been scared and afraid of losing Jason and that she did not want their baby to grow up without knowing Jason's love. Sam said that she had made the only choice she could.

Jason told Sam that it had not been her choice to make. Sam asked if he was angry because she had lied. Jason said that he was angry because she had kept lying and that she had caused Monica, Molly, Alexis, and the hospital staff to lie to him as well. Jason said that Carly was the only one who had told him the truth because he needed to know the truth. Sam said that was because Carly did not care if Jason died; she only cared to make the point that Carly knew Jason better that Sam. Jason angrily responded that maybe Carly did know him better.
