& Patrick #6 November 30, 2007 - June 2, 2008 - 8 hour original
edit
DVD #6A As
they struggle to accept Emily's death, the hospital staff attempts to save
the life of a young bride who was hit by a car on the way to her wedding.
Kelly cautions Melina's family that in addition to the neurosurgery she
will also need an emergency hysterectomy. The crisis opens Patrick's
eyes, and he tells Robin that he thinks their love can outweigh their
differences. Declaring his love to Robin, Patrick urges her to give their
relationship another chance.
December 3 - Patrick commends Robin for soothing Melina's anxious family,
then urges her to believe they can still have a future together. Robin
runs into Jason at GH and tells him how sorry she was to hear about
Emily's death. Jason explains to Robin why Nikolas is a suspect in her
murder (glitch during Jason & Robin scene). Patrick tries to make a
compromise with Robin. But in the end, she sadly rejects his suggestion
that they give their relationship another chance.
December 4 (slight glitch during scene) - Liz talks to Robin about how she
can't believe what her life has become. Kelly comes over and they all
discuss having a girl's night out. Emily would have wanted them to do
that. Epiphany watches Robin, Patrick, and Leyla talk about their patient.
When Robin leaves, Patrick asks Leyla out to dinner. She can't believe it.
She knows that he is pining for Robin every day. They are going to be
professional from now on. She storms off, and Nadine, who witnesses the
exchange, goes after her. The two women go to Jake's. Coleman asks if they
are there for the dancing on the table competition. They say no. Leyla
orders a vodka, straight up. Nadine asks for a beer. Leyla tells Nadine
that she never wanted a long term relationship, until she met Patrick.
Falling in love wasn't part of the plan. Leyla decides that she doesn't
need a man. She needs someone who will treat her better than second best.
She will do better than Patrick. Nadine tells her that she doesn't need a
doctor. She's going to become a doctor herself. Leyla says she's going to
become a better doctor than Patrick. She's glad he's out of her life.
Later, Liz, Robin, and Kelly come to Jake's for their night out. They see
the sign outside for table dancing and talk about what kind of woman would
subject herself to that. They go inside and are shocked to see a drunk
Leyla dancing on top of tables with men throwing money at her.
Still hurting over the situation with Jason, Elizabeth has too much to
drink at Jake's. When an unwitting Patrick arrives, Elizabeth unleashes
her pent up anger on him. As her friends all cheer her on, Elizabeth calls
Patrick a coward for refusing to become a father. Robin, Lainey, and Kelly
initiate new nurse Nadine into their Ladies' Night at Jake's. Patrick and
his fellow surgeon friend, Julian, watch them and overhear them talk about
him not wanting to be a father. They discuss what is great and not so
great about women. Patrick ends up joining them at their table to confront
them about his choice not to be a father. He points out to Kelly that she
doesn't want to have children either and that she shouldn't be a
hypocrite. She tells him that if she found the right guy and he wanted to
be a father she would be willing to negotiate a compromise. Patrick points
out to the women that none of them are mothers and they have no idea if
they would even like it if they did have children and had to face the
reality of being a mother. Robin tells them that she had a dream about
being a mother and it felt so real that she realizes that she will
probably have the same feeling if she did hold her baby for the first
time.
Later, Patrick and Robin talk alone at Jake's. Patrick tells her he wants
to find a way for them to be together and make things work. Robin feels
that she is being asked to make an impossible choice for herself by having
to choose between being a mother and being with him. She tells him again
that she can't compromise on being a mother. Patrick gets a call on his
cell-phone from Alexis, who tells him that Leyla is in trouble and needs
his help right now. Patrick shows up at Jerry's hotel room and picks Leyla
up to take her home. Leyla is still pretty drunk and tells Patrick that
she is over him and to leave but then she ends up leaning on him anyway.
Patrick carries her out of Jerry's room. Robin shows up at the hotel for
another reason and sees Patrick escorting Leyla out of the hotel. She
wonders if she is making the right decision about Patrick.
Spinelli passes through the park and finds Georgie dead on the steps with
a phone cord wrapped around her neck. He calls the police. Detective
Harper arrives on the scene and questions Spinelli, who saw nothing and
provides no information. Mac is distraught and outraged when he finds
Georgie dead. He is grief-stricken and blames Spinelli. Detective Harper
tries to convince him that Spinelli, who is too dazed to mention Georgie's
suspicions of Coop, is innocent but Mac wants him finger-printed and DNA
evidence taken.
Robin and Liz are talking about Nikolas and his progress in Switzerland
when Maxie arrives at the hospital. Mac goes to get Dr. Winters, and Robin
realizes the situation is not good. Patrick comes over and asks Robin what
is going on, but she doesn't know yet. Mac reveals through tears that
Georgie was strangled. Robin hugs Mac who is grieving deeply. When Mac
leaves, Robin tries to get back to work. Patrick comes over to talk to
her, and she asks him why everyone she loves has to die. He hugs her.
Robin goes to give Maxie a sedative. Maxie is talking about how she was
the bad sister, and Georgie didn't deserve to die. Mac comes back. He is
upset about telling Felicia as she asked him to take care of their girls.
Robin tells them not to let their grief and anger consume them. Georgie
wouldn't want that.
Robin shows up to see Maxie and is happy to see Felicia. Felicia hugs
Robin. They have coffee and talk but Maxie is still not happy with
Felicia's explanations and listens to Robin and Felicia talk with more
growing resentment toward her mother. Robin tells Felicia that she
understands about how difficult it is be involved in top secret government
cases that help others in need and that there is a pull to want to help
others and want to be with your family as well. Dillon shows up to see
Maxie. Maxie hugs him hard and tells him that Georgie still loved him very
much. Dillon tells her that he wished it could have been different and
that he came to town to ask her if he could take her on a trip to show her
some movie locations. Maxie invites him inside where he meets Felicia. He
gives her his condolences and tells her that he is sorry for blowing
things with Georgie when they were together. Felicia hugs him and tells
him that despite what they have done that it doesn't negate the fact that
they loved Georgie. Maxie rolls her eyes at Felicia's statements. Felicia
tells Dillon that she has a box full of letters that Georgie sent her
about how much she loved him.
At the church on the day of Georgie's funeral, Robin puts a picture of
Georgie up. She comforts Mac who blames himself for Georgie's death. Robin
tells Mac that Georgie was a reflection of the best of him. He's the best
parent any of them could have asked for. Lainey and Epiphany tell Robin
that they are there for her. Patrick comes over and asks how she is doing.
She tells him fine, but then rushes off when the priest comes in to talk
to Robin about some of the details. Maxie gets up to speak and says she
sees the story of Georgie's life by looking at all the faces in the
church. She thanks Mac for making Georgie feel special every day. He was
the greatest gift to her. She thanks Dillon for showing Georgie true
romantic love. She knows that she held that love in her heart until the
day she died. She apologizes to both Dillon and Spinelli for not nice to
them even though they loved her sister. She knows that Spinelli was
Georgie's greatest friend. Georgie knew she would never be alone once she
met Spinelli. Maxie also thanks Robin for being the sister to Georgie that
Maxie couldn't be. Then Maxie proceeds to start bashing Felicia for not
being there for them. Where was she when it mattered? Maxie tells Felicia
that she can't sail into the funeral pretending to be a mom after ditching
them all those years ago. Maxie tells Felicia to leave or she will leave.
Felicia obliges and leaves. Robin goes to Patrick's house. She doesn't
know why she's there. She just feels bad for Felicia and everyone that had
to sit through Maxie's rage. Patrick holds her and she cries in his arms.
They start to kiss.
Robin tells Liz that she was so distraught after Georgie's funeral that
she went to Patrick and spent the night in his arms. Nothing mattered, her
pride didn't matter, she just wanted to be wtih him and she would do it
again if she could. Jax goes to the hospital to pay his respects to Robin
over Georgie's death. Patrick sees them together and is jealous. Robin
goes to her OB-GYN and tells her that she is ready to get pregnant, even
if it means using a sperm bank. Robin and Carly trade insults inside the
waiting area of Dr. Lee's office. Carly brings up the past again
concerning Robin's past relationship with Jason and how Robin blew it when
she told A.J. that Michael was his son and took him away from Jason. Robin
points out that Carly had a hand in all of that as well. Carly insinuates
that Robin can't keep a man long enough to have a baby because of her
cold, selfish personality. Robin tells her she is out of line for getting
into her own personal business. Carly tells her she made it her business
by asking Jax to father her baby. Robin tells her that she is selfish for
not giving Jax a baby herself. Robin storms off after telling Kelly she
will talk to her later. Carly gets examined and learns she isn't pregnant
and that she won't be able to conceive on her own without some medical
interventions. Later, Robin gets information about sperm donor websites
from Dr. Lee. Patrick watches them talking. He makes a comment to
Elizabeth about how practically perfect use to be enough but not for
Robin. Elizabeth tells him that if you try for a perfect life you end up
with nothing. She tells him that she has learned that nothing is perfect
and that it is o.k. for her right now.
Robin learns one of her patients has been taken to the ER and has Patrick
paged to return to the GH Stat! Patrick and Robin are distraught after
losing a patient on the operating table. Robin tells Patrick that she has
had enough losses in her life, including him. They slump on the hospital
floor together, share a glass of sparkling cider and commiserate with each
other. New Year's Eve montage of everyone in the various celebrations.
Patrick arrives to find Nikolas getting aggressive toward Nadine and
accusing her of having sex with Patrick like a lot of the other nurses do.
He pushes Nadine out of his way and she falls down on the floor. Patrick
gets help from Robin and an orderly who come into the room. Robin injects
Nikolas with a sedative to calm him down. Nikolas is placed on a gurney to
rest until the sedative wears off. He overhears Robin and Patrick talking
about his condition. Patrick orders more tests and blood work and tells
Robin that there is something they're missing, and wonders if it might
more side effects from the poison that Jerry previously injected into
Nikolas. Later, Patrick watches Robin looking into sperm donors
online.
At the hospital, Robin overhears Leyla and Patrick talking. Leyla is
frustrated with how easily Patrick has gone back to doctor mode. Robin
comes over after Leyla leaves and tells Patrick that she has ordered a
second autopsy for their patient that they lost on New Year's Eve. Robin
doesn't understand why she died and she wants to research it further.
Patrick tells her that people die in their business. Robin points out how
heartless Patrick can be. He never understood how hard Leyla fell for him.
They leave and walk back out into the waiting area in time to hear Nikolas
starting to go into a rage. He is there for the board meeting. Leyla comes
over and tells Nikolas that the board meeting is being postponed. Nikolas
starts going into a rage. By the time Patrick and Robin walk up, Nikolas
is screaming and throwing his arms around. He knocks Robin across the
room. Patrick is furious and rushes over to Robin. They all seem to
realize that Nikolas had a black out. Robin tells Patrick to stop
overreacting about her fall. They're not dating anymore, so he needs to
stop acting like this. She reveals that she has picked a donor to be her
baby's father. He lets her walk away while he processes this information.
He catches back up with her at the nurse's station and asks about the ER.
Robin tells him that no one is going in or out. They are on total lock
down. Robin thinks it is just a false alarm. Patrick reveals to Robin that
he's going to try and bring out one of Nikolas' anger episodes.
At the hospital, Robin and Patrick disagree over treatment for Nikolas.
Patrick wants to take blood when Nikolas is in the rage state. Patrick is
willing to provoke him to it in order to get a sample. Robin disagrees,
but eventually accedes to him under protest. She has a dizzy spell, which
Patrick fears is caused by a recent fall. In an exam room, Nikolas talking
to Emily. He asks her if she knows what day it is, and then tells
her he has a surprise for her at Wyndemere. Before she can answer, Patrick
walks in and she disappears. Patrick starts provoking Nikolas, pointing
out that this day is Emily's birthday. He speaks sarcastically about
Nikolas' decadent display of wealth. His words have the desired effect and
Nikolas erupts. Two orderlies quickly subdue Nikolas and take blood, which
is rushed to the lab. Robin appears and tells Nikolas that she is sorry
and that everything is O.K. Nikolas seems calm. Patrick and Robin believe
that his episode is over, so he is released. He immediately begins raging,
punches Patrick in the stomach and leaves the room. Patrick tells Robin
that is he responsible and must find and subdue Nikolas before he hurts
someone else. She agrees, then faints dead away.
In the locker room, Patrick comes out of the shower wrapped only in a
towel. Patrick tells Robin that she needs to be lying down. She comments
that he tells all women they need to lie down. He was referring to her
recent collapse, though. Robin tells him that Nikolas has admitted himself
into the hospital, so she has work to do. He asks her if there's a reason
she's being more hostile than usual. She tells him she's not being
hostile. Leyla walks over and mentions how Patrick's niceness usually is
what gets women in bed for him. Robin throws up her hands and tells them
she's not involved in this conversation. She gets up and starts to become
dizzy. Leyla tells Patrick to bundle up. It's about to get a lot colder.
Patrick comes in to see Nikolas. Emily peeks in to hear the news. The
tumor is larger, but it is pressing on a part of his brain that causes
dreams and hallucinations. Nikolas doesn't understand. Patrick asks him if
he's seeing things that defy a rational explanation.
At the nurse's station, Kelly comes over to Robin and asks how she's
feeling. Robin tells her she doesn't want to get into it. She's had enough
people fussing over her today. Kelly tells her to get used to it. That's
how it will be when she gets pregnant. Robin says she wants a no fuss
pregnancy. She tells Kelly that she's picked a donor from the sperm bank.
They talk about some tests that should be complete by now. They are going
to contact the lab so Robin can get pregnant soon.
In the locker room, Leyla comes back to see Patrick. He tells her he
thought there was an emergency. She tells him this is the emergency. She
takes her coat off to reveal that she's only wearing panties. She walks
away, while he stares. He chases after her and asks what they will do if
someone comes in. She tells him some people have to sleep and some people
have to sleep around. She pulls him on top of her and they start to kiss.
When they are finished, they both agree that the sex was incredible. He
asks what they will do now. She tells him its business as usual. She
doesn't want to impede on his turn with the nursing staff. Now he thinks
the sex was about revenge. She tells him it was just about pure pleasure.
She can focus on her career and still sleep with a man and it means
nothing.
Kelly tells Robin that she is pregnant. Robin is shocked. She insists that
she has not had unprotected sex, and then remembers the broken condom on
the night of Georgie's funeral when she slept with Patrick. Patrick tells
Nikolas that his tumor may be causing hallucinations and details reported
episodes where persons in similar circumstances had smelled and felt loved
ones who were not there. Nikolas denies that he is having hallucinations,
but asks to be alone. In the doctor's lounge, Robin overhears Leo and
Patrick talking. Patrick admits that he is interested in Leyla because she
has shown an interest in him. There is no future with Robin, he tells Leo,
because she wants children and he does not. A shaken Robin does not give
him the news about her pregnancy, and later insists to Kelly that they
keep the pregnancy a secret from everyone for the time being. When Robin
sees Patrick again, she wants to tell him, but she does not. After he
leaves the lounge, a tearful Robin lies down on a bench and hugs herself.
At the nurse's station, Kelly approaches Robin about her pregnancy. Robin
urges her to keep this information private. Patrick overhears her but
thinks she is talking about Nikolas. Robin and Patrick argue about
Nikolas. He wants to know why she did not tell him that Nikolas has
decided against the surgery. She responds that it is because she has not
talked to Nikolas. Patrick insists that he can save his life. Robin says
that Patrick cannot just strap Nikolas to a gurney, split his head open
and put another notch on the OR table like he does on his belt. She taunts
him further by telling him that there is a vacant supply closet not being
used on the fifth floor. Hotheaded Patrick is angry and responds that he
is happy they broke up. Now he is glad that he did not get her pregnant.
Robin visits Nikolas and tells him that there are no alternative
treatments and that his only chance is surgery. He wants to know how to
let go of something important to him.
Leyla smiles when she sees a page from Patrick, apparently suggesting
another romantic rendezvous. Leyla goes to the examining room and when
Patrick arrives, she is naked and waiting for him. Patrick tells her that
he paged her for a consult, not a tryst and that Dr. Ford is on his way.
Leyla dresses hastily and is very upset about potential damage to her
career. Patrick laughs and tells her he was joking. He was playing a game,
he says. Dr. Ford is gone for the day. An angry Leyla slaps Patrick, but
before she can stalk out of the room, Patrick grabs her and they kiss
passionately. They start to make love but a playful Leyla slips away,
grabs Patrick's clothes and says, "If it's games you want, doctor, I
will win." She scampers outside to the hall. Patrick opens the door
and several staff members see him in the altogether as Leyla tosses his
clothes in a laundry hamper. From down the corridor, a tearful Robin sees
all.
Patrick gets a cold reception from Epiphany when he stops by the nurses'
station to pick up some charts. Leyla is also there and explains to him
that she got suspended for two weeks without pay because of their tryst in
the examining room. Julian and Robin escort Liz back to her hospital bed.
Elizabeth complains to them that she took a sedative that made her dreams
worse and that she didn't get much sleep. Robin guesses that she is more
likely suffering from post-traumatic stress than just having a dream about
the fire. Julian tells Elizabeth that he will prescribe a different
sedative that should help her sleep without causing any side effects.
Robin tells him she will stay with Elizabeth for awhile. After Julian
leaves the room, Robin locks the door and tells Elizabeth about her
surprise pregnancy. Elizabeth is very happy for her and guesses that
Patrick is the father since she remembered Robin telling her that she
slept with Patrick after Georgie's funeral to seek comfort from him. Robin
isn't sure about how she feels about producing a baby the one night she
slept with Patrick. She worries that Patrick will think she planned to get
pregnant by him that night when it wasn't planned at all. Elizabeth thinks
that it was perfect that she got pregnant by Patrick that night because
with a death came new life. Robin doesn't plan to tell Patrick about the
baby even though she knows he will notice she is pregnant at some point.
She thinks she will have to lie to him if he does ask her. She asks for
Elizabeth's advice after admitting she is confused about what to do.
Elizabeth advises her to tell Patrick the truth because the truth ends up
coming out somehow anyway. She also thinks that Patrick may change when he
finds out he is going to be a father.
Later, Patrick apologizes to Leyla for getting her in trouble with Dr.
Ford and offers to talk to Ford himself and try to fix it. Leyla thanks
him but thinks it would be better if he didn't talk to Dr. Ford because
Patrick will probably be reprimanded ,also. Patrick wonders how Ford knew
about their tryst. Leyla picks up some of his clothes and shows him what
he left behind for Ford to find. Julian and an orderly also come by to
show clothes he left behind as evidence to what he was up to. Patrick
laughs it off. Epiphany tells them all to get back to work. Julian and
Patrick head to the nurses' station. Julian asks Patrick if he should ask
Elizabeth out for a drink sometime since he thinks she is beautiful.
Patrick reminds him that Elizabeth has two children. Robin walks over to
the other side of the nurses' station and hears Patrick warning Julian to
stay away from Elizabeth and any single mother. He says it will complicate
any relationship if kids are involved and he will not make that mistake
himself since he doesn't want children in his life. Robin is hurt by what
he says and she walks off wondering what she is going to do.
At the nurses' station, Patrick and the new-to-GH Dr. Devlin greet each
other as old friends. Patrick shows Devlin around. When they return to the
nurses' station, Patrick is quick to notice Devlin's obvious interest in
Leyla. Patrick razzes Devlin about going to California to become a plastic
surgeon. Devlin responds that he also did reconstructive surgery for
cancer patients, which led him to his specialty, Oncology. Perhaps,
suggests a rakish Devlin, he is not as shallow as Patrick thinks. Later,
Ian walks over to Patrick and they talk about Leyla, and about Patrick's
pants being taken away. Patrick asks him if Ian thinks he will stoop to
paybacks. Leyla finishes up talking to Epiphany about a patient. When she
walks past Patrick, she gives him a dirty look.
Robin and Kelly talk about men. Kelly gathers from the conversation that
Robin has not told the father of her baby that she is pregnant. Robin says
that the father couldn't care less. Kelly asks her how she feels about
that. Later, Robin and Patrick talk about a deceased patient when suddenly
a young woman is brought in and passes out. Patrick, Ian, and Leyla
examine the woman. Patrick orders a CT scan. The woman says she has
started passing out ever since she got pregnant. Patrick leaves and runs
into Robin in the hall. She starts to say something to him, but changes
her mind and leaves. Patrick overhears Ian ask Leyla out. When Ian walks
out of the room, Patrick tells him that he knows the rules. Ian reminds
him that Patrick put Leyla out to play. Later, Patrick talks to Epiphany
about Ian. Epiphany thinks Patrick has competition with Ian. Robin comes
over to show Patrick the results of their patient's autopsy. He tells her
to stop obsessing over this like she's obsessing over having a baby. He
tells her to go to the sperm bank already and get herself pregnant. She
says she doesn't have to, because she's already pregnant. He is stunned,
but happy for her. Other hospital personnel notice them hugging. Patrick
announces that Robin is pregnant. Cassius congratulates him. He quickly
denies that he is the father and Robin does also, even though she knows
that he is.
Patrick approaches Robin at the nurse's station and she asks him why he is
staring at her. She tells him she has a child inside of her, not a bomb.
He says he was just wondering what he would be thinking right now if the
baby were his. Robin leaves to check on Liz. She tries to get a cab for
Liz, but Liz says she will be fine. Liz asks why Robin is so tense, and
Robin tells Liz that she still hasn't told Patrick that he's the father.
He seems to be stalking her though. Liz advises her to tell him soon if
she plans on telling him at all. The sooner the better and the less mad he
will be. She leaves. Robin goes back to the nurses' station. Patrick comes
over to her. Robin asks him what is wrong. He says he doesn't know. She
tells him when he finds out to let her know, or don't. She walks away.
Robin is disturbed to learn Nik has left the hospital. When Dr. Devlin
refers to Nik's case as hopless, she calls him glib and completely
transparent with women as only a friend of Dr. Drake's could be. He tells
her that he has seen a patient with a tumor similar to Nik's. He questions
whether Nik is having hallucinations and not telling her about them. Robin
insists that Nik wouldn't lie about this. When Nik returns to the
hospital, Patrick and Robin introduce him to Dr. Devlin and Patrick tells
him that Dr. Devlin has joined their team. Patrick doesn't
understand why Robin has such a problem with Ian consulting on Nikolas's
case. Ian overhears their conversation and tells Monica more about his
experimental research. The patient is still alive, but he jokes that the
patient now has webbed feet. Robin gets upset with Ian and Patrick and is
even more frustrated when they can't find Nikolas. Patrick tells Ian to
ignore Robin because her attitude is due to pregnancy hormones. Ian tells
Robin he is going to go find Leyla in the lunchroom. When Ian leaves,
Patrick apologizes to Robin for his comments. Later, Ian tracks down
Patrick and asks him if Robin is going to get in their way. Patrick stands
up for Robin and says he would trust her with his life. Sam has been hit
by a car and Jerry brings her into GH. Patrick gets her vitals and they
decide they need to do surgery. Alexis rushes in and asks what monster
could have left her daughter on the side of the road.
At the nurses' station Patrick asks Robin if sperm donors are anonymous.
She tells him that they are. Before they can get into further
conversation, Cassius rushes in to say Epiphany has collapsed and is
unconscious. Later, Leo tells Epiphany that she has had a heart attack and
must begin treatment immediately. Nothing is wrong, she blusters and
attempts to get up to go back to work. Leo stops her and later she agrees
to the treatment.
Carly is watching newborn babies in the maternity ward of the hospital as
she is pregnant with Jax's baby. Robin shows up there, sees Carly watching
the newborns, and guesses she is pregnant. Carly looks at Robin's reaction
and realizes she is pregnant also. Carly makes some insulting remark to
Robin, who gives it right back. Carly asks Robin who would be stupid
enough to agree to be her sperm donor. Patrick shows up and asks what is
going on between the two of them. Carly asks Patrick about Robin's
pregnancy. Robin tells her it is none of her business. Patrick admits he
isn't the father. Jax returns to find out that Robin knows about Carly's
pregnancy. Carly thinks Robin will tell the whole hospital about her
pregnancy. Robin tells her she wouldn't do that. Jax finds out that Robin
is pregnant and is excited and happy for her. He congratulates Patrick,
who tells him he isn't the father. Jax asks Robin to keep Carly's
pregnancy a secret for now. Robin congratulates him even though she can't
stand Carly. After they leave, Robin tells Patrick that she will have to
talk to Kelly about making sure that she and Carly are not visiting their
doctors on the same day since the stress of being around Carly wouldn't be
good for the baby. Patrick tells her to come to him if she needs anything
and reminds her she has lots of friends and family to support her. Robin
wonders if she is doing the right thing by not telling him he is her
baby's father. Patrick returns later to find Robin watching the newborns.
He hands her a small bouquet of yellow roses and wishes her a Happy
Valentine's Day. Robin is touched by his gesture and agrees with him that
she would like them to be friends at least.
Nikolas has a seizure while in the hospital. Elizabeth stops Patrick from
administering drugs immediately because Nikolas is remembering the night
Emily was murdered. Patrick hesitates for a moment, but Devlin rushes in
and takes charge. After ordering drugs for Nikolas, he soundly chastises
Patrick, Robin, and Elizabeth for their hesitation. Devlin after starting
out as a plastic surgeon, became an oncologist. It also appears he is as
well versed in neurosurgery as Patrick is and even though he has been at
GH only a few days, he has enough influence to commandeer Nikolas' case
from Patrick and Robin. Dr. Devlin continues to fight with Patrick and
Robin over their treatment of Nikolas. Patrick stands up for Robin when
Dr. Devlin makes a comment about Robin's pregnancy. Patrick tells Scott
and Mac there is no good news about Logan. Later, Patrick comes back
and tells Scott that Logan has slipped into a coma.
Robin finds a gift hanging from her locker in the nurse's locker room. She
is surprised to see the gift is from Patrick. He comes in and tries to get
information from her, but Robin just walks away from him. Later, Nadine
and Robin catch up in the locker room. Nadine tells Robin about her
grandmother who used to be able to tell the sex of a baby before it was
born. She would ask if the night the child was conceived was a happy or
sad night for the couple, if the mother woke up on the east or west side,
and what the mother ate first thing in the morning. Robin remembers all
this information, but Nadine is unable to remember what any of it means.
Later, Patrick reveals to Robin his good deed with Joe, the hospital
bomber, and his pregnant wife. The charges are still pending, but Patrick
arranged for Joe to get a new job and they waived the waiting period for
health insurance. Robin is happy, but she just walks away, unable to
convey her feelings. Patrick tracks her down in the locker room. She is
embarrassed by her hormonal emotions. Patrick tries to tell her that the
father of her baby needs to be there for her and the baby. Robin walks
away again.
Patrick found Robin getting off the elevator to start her rounds. He
confronted her about the baby but Robin wouldn't tell him the truth that
he was the father. Joe showed up to ask Patrick for help. He thanked him
again for all of his help but he needed to know what was going on with his
wife Angela's pregnancy and why her doctor wouldn't tell him what was
going on with her. Patrick made a flip remark about how he knew what Joe
was going through, not knowing the truth about his wife so he could do
something about it. Robin agreed to help as well. They both talked to
Kelly Lee about Angela's pregnancy. Kelly told them that Angela had
developed anemia and could be passing that on to the baby. She feared for
the baby's health. Robin remembered she had a patient with anemia who had
just died, even though she had taken all of her medication. Dr. Devlin
overheard their conversation and asked Kelly if Angela had been taking
over-the-counter cold medicine that contained some wonder drug in it.
Kelly decided to check and see. Dr. Devlin explained to them that he had
been researching this drug and was disturbed by its side-effects. Robin
also remembered that her patient had also taken the same cold medicine.
Patrick, Robin, and Dr. Devlin decided to help Kelly in the O.R. Robin and
Patrick left the OR together and discussed who was going to tell the
father. Robin told Patrick she would tell the father herself. Patrick got
upset with her for always thinking she could do everything on her own. He
asked her if that was why she hadn't told him the truth about the baby.
Robin and Patrick start to argue again but are interrupted when Dr. Devlin
comes in the room. Robin leaves to talk to Joe. While she is gone, Ian and
Patrick talk about Robin. Ian doesn't like her, but Patrick stands up for
Robin and says she is strong, stubborn, and compassionate. Meanwhile,
Robin talks to Joe about Angie's death. Nothing could have been done
differently that would have saved her. Robin takes Joe to see his
daughter. He talks about his wife and how he wishes she were still there
with them. Robin tells him to take things one day at a time. Patrick
watches the three of them. When he finds Robin in the locker room later,
they talk about how Angie should have been with Joe and her daughter. It
should have been a family of a mom, a dad, and a baby. Patrick asks her
what she will tell her child when it asks about its father. Robin says she
will deal with that when the time comes. Patrick asks who the father is.
Robin tries not to answer, but Patrick asks if he is the father. Robin
says yes. Dr. Ford appears with security guards that have been hired to
watch Joe. Patrick overhears what is going on and tries to side with Joe.
Yes, he came into the hospital with a bomb, but he was desperate.
Patrick cornered Robin in the doctors' locker room and asked her if he was
the father of her baby. She finally told him the truth and said
"yes." Robin went on to explain to Patrick that she did not get
intentionally pregnant by him. She had already made arrangements with the
sperm bank, but Georgie's death left her very needy and she came to him
for comfort sex. She was not trying to use him and did not cause the
condom to break. She did come to tell him to get tested, but when she
overheard him tell Leo that his HIV test was negative, she was relieved
because there was no reason to tell him anything. Nothing had changed. She
would have the baby and raise the baby on her own, just as she had planned
to do, and none would be the wiser. Robin continued to vent about
Patrick's reluctance to have children and he did not disagree. Patrick
admitted that he did not want a child, but now that it had happened,
Patrick wanted to be part of the process. Robin told Patrick that she did
not want him to act from obligation, so she rejected his reluctant offer
of help and support. With very bitter words, she told him to go to some
bar and find the hottest chick in the place to prove to himself that he
was still eighteen. Patrick left the hospital and Robin stayed behind in
tears.
Epiphany looks over paperwork at the nurse's station and comments how the
hospital was falling apart without her. Patrick and Robin both walk over
to Epiphany and welcome her back. It's not long before Patrick and Robin
are arguing again. Epiphany mentions that nothing has changed. Patrick
dares Robin to go ahead and tell Epiphany what is going on. Robin
announces she can handle crying from a baby but not from the father.
Robin runs into Patrick later on and is surprised to see he is still
there. They talk about their first pregnancy scare and Patrick's relief
when the pregnancy test came back negative. Patrick reminds her they did
actually love each other at one time. Patrick reviews Jason's injury after
the bridge accident and tells him his finger is barely hanging on by a
thread. There is nerve damage and if they don't operate soon, Jason will
be lucky to hold even a spoon. Patrick prepped Jason for his hand surgery
and warned him he might never work for Sonny again.
Robin went with Nikolas to the water sewage building. He told her that
Diego must have hid Nadine somewhere in the building and he needed to try
to find her. Robin worried about Nikolas' health and urged him to go back
to the hospital with her. Nikolas had another hallucination and saw
"Emily" again. Robin saw him look up at the stairs and start
talking and realized he had been lying to Patrick and her about not having
hallucinations. Nikolas yelled at her to go away and leave him alone.
Liz saw Patrick outside Jason's room and told her Jason needed rest. He
saw her bring Jake to see Jason. Patrick asked her what Lucky would say
about Jason seeing Jake. He immediately apologized for butting in, but Liz
admitted that Lucky probably wouldn't have liked Jason and Jake seeing
each other. Patrick told Liz he usually didn't get involved in his
patients' business, but he was about to become a father. Patrick told her
about confronting Robin and how she didn't deny that he was the baby's
father. Liz said she had tried to convince Robin to tell Patrick earlier
because the truth had a way of coming out. Liz questioned Patrick if he
had hoped Robin would tell him he was not the father. Patrick was not sure
what he wanted. He loved the baby's mother, though, and maybe a miracle
would happen. Patrick and Liz hugged before Robin walked in on them. Liz
told Robin she needed to get back to work and they needed to talk anyway.
When Patrick told Robin what he had been talking about with Liz, Robin
tried to deny he was her baby's father.
Patrick and Robin discussed the baby. Robin said she did not want her
child to be an experiment, and that she feared Patrick would walk away if
it got too hard or he got bored. She only wanted to think of Patrick as a
sperm donor, she told him. Patrick was uncomfortable but let Robin have
the last word. Robin confronted Patrick for leaving her off the surgical
team. He told her it was not personal, but to protect the baby from
radiation emitted by one of the devices they would be using. Robin
understood and said she would wear shielding. Patrick put her back on the
team. Nikolas was taken to OR. As he lay on the operating table receiving
anesthetic, Emily appeared to him in her beautiful dress from the Black
and White Ball. She gave Nikolas a last tender kiss before walking away.
Nikolas went "code blue" on the operating table and found Emily
standing on a staircase. He and Emily walked through a door and passed
through a bright light before entering a room resembling one of
Wyndemere's rooms. Nikolas was surprised heaven didn't look better, but
Emily told him he hadn't died. She brought him there to convince him to
live.
DVD #6B As Nik continued to refuse to break his connection
with Emily, she told him that he has to, that it can't last. She tried to
warn him about the tumor getting bigger and his visions of her would
change and become ugly. Spencer would need him to be a part of his life.
She said he would have to choose if he could have her or his son. He heard
Spencer say "Daddy" and he started to come back from the brink
of death. As the surgery continued, Nikolas grew uncontrollable and
started thrashing around until he kicked Robin and she collapsed. Patrick
found Liz and told her to page Dr. Lee because Nikolas had kicked Robin in
the stomach. Patrick was upset when he found Robin wasn't with Dr.
Lee. Robin assured him that she and the baby were fine-not that it was any
of his business. They argued over the baby, until Patrick asked her if she
was deliberately trying to hurt him until he gave up on being a father.
Robin told him no and admitted she still loved him. He also told her he
still loved her.
Patrick met with Jason to go over the results of his x-rays. He told Jason
that he would have at least 90% use of his hands but that there was a
surgeon in Seattle who was considered the best specialist for hand surgery
and he suggested that Jason meet him and consider having more treatment to
regain full use of his hands. Jason agreed to meet with the doctor in
Seattle. Elizabeth told him he should meet with the doctor. Lucky made her
nervous when he asked her if he could take the boys out somewhere and
wanted to get their car seats from her car while he was at the hospital.
Elizabeth jumped in and told him she would get the car seats out of the
car for him. Epiphany approached her and told her that she had a patient
to attend to immediately. Lucky told her he still had an extra key to her
car and could get the car seats out of her car himself. Elizabeth had no
choice but to let him when Epiphany barked at her to do her job. Elizabeth
went back to see Jason in his room but it was too late, he was already
headed to Seattle to see the specialist.
Robin had a bad moment in the hospital locker room. Patrick noticed that
Robin was nauseous from morning sickness. She immediately blamed Patrick
for her stress, then ran away gagging and about to vomit. Later at the
nurses' station Epiphany gave Robin advice about her morning sickness.
Robin seemed to have a chip on her shoulder as she was short-tempered with
everyone. When Patrick tried to consult with her, she snapped at him.
Before they could get into their usual argument about the baby, Epiphany
told Robin that she was needed to look after Michael. She and Michael
talked about how she had known him when he was a baby. Lulu asked
Patrick about Logan's odds for recovery. Patrick gave her hope that Logan
would recover. When Lulu heard about the explosion from Robin, she rushed
off. Robin tried to apologize to Patrick for her earlier behavior,
but he was curt to her as he left a chart behind for her to study. Robin
followed Patrick to the locker room. He told her that he did not want to
argue. She told him that she was sorry, because she had realized earlier
that shift that she was the biggest hypocrite of all.
Epiphany told Robin that Claudia Zacchara was in one of the emergency
rooms, and Robin went in to examine her. Claudia wanted Robin to look at
Johnny first, but Johnny insisted that Claudia be the one examined. Robin
told Claudia she would need stitches but informed Claudia of her own HIV
status before beginning the procedure. Claudia freaked out and said she
didn't want Robin treating her. Patrick walked in and told Claudia she
needed education on HIV, but Claudia retorted by asking him if he would
want to take a chance with his own life or that of someone he cared about
by letting her treat them. Patrick announced Robin was carrying his child.
Robin admitted to Patrick she knew better than to lie about her child.
Patrick walked into the locker room to find Robin crying on the bench.
Robin commented that although Claudia's comments were ignorant, she was
still worried about the risk of HIV to her baby. Patrick reminded Robin
their child only had a 2% chance of contracting HIV from her, meaning the
child had a 98% chance of not getting the virus. Those were better odds
than a surgeon could give. Even if their child would be one of the 2%, the
child would have a mother who would teach it how to deal with the virus
and ignorant people. Robin told him he picked the perfect moment to be
wonderful. He offered to take her home and, after contemplating, she
decided to take him up on the offer. He asked her to give him enough time
to pull over if her morning sickness was going to rear its ugly head.
Patrick walked into Carly's hospital room to talk about when she could be
released. Carly told him she lost the baby, and he apologized and left.
Outside the room, Patrick was clearly bothered by the news. Patrick
asked Epiphany to page Robin, but Epiphany said Robin wouldn't be in
today. She told him not to bother calling her, because her mood swings had
gone into triple overtime. Dr. Devlin walked over to Patrick and told him
to leave Robin alone. If he kept this behavior up, Patrick would be going
to get ice cream for Robin every time she wanted it. Later, Patrick ran
into Liz and they talked about Carly losing her baby. Patrick admitted
when Robin first started talking about having a baby, he was against it
and didn't want a child. Now, if Robin lost their baby, he would be upset.
Patrick was worried because of Robin's severe morning sickness, but she
reassured him it was normal. She came over to sign some paperwork for
Claudia and Johnny and ended up giving herself a paper cut. Claudia threw
another fit and refused to have anything to do with Robin or the paperwork
for fear of contracting HIV. Jason came in at that time and he and Claudia
noticed each other. Claudia was concerned with what he was doing at the
hospital, but he told her it was none of her business. Jason later told
Robin to stay as far away from Claudia as possible. A mother and two
children came into the hospital, and Patrick noticed she needed some help
when the older child started acting up. The mother handed her baby over to
Patrick, who was clearly uncomfortable holding the infant. The baby seemed
content in Patrick's arms and smiled up at him. Patrick asked both
Epiphany and Robin for help, but they just smiled and told him they were
busy. After the mother took her child back, Robin and Patrick talked about
their own child. Robin told him he wouldn't have to hold their baby if he
didn't want to, but she was glad he was the father.
Robin invited Maxie to her apartment. She wanted help decorating an area
adjoining her bedroom for her baby. Robin called it a dressing room. Maxie
said it was a closet. They talked about babies and all the attention that
they required. Maxie was surprisingly knowledgeable. She admitted to Robin
that she had done a lot of research when she had faked a pregnancy of her
own. Outside at the nurse's station, Patrick spoke to Robin, who was
defensive about being late, despite having taken personal time off. When
Carly arrived, Robin made a comment to her about how she was suffering
from morning sickness and how that must please Carly. Carly immediately
told Robin that she had miscarried. Robin expressed sympathy. When Carly
left to see Kelly, Patrick apologized to Robin for knowing about Carly's
miscarriage and not mentioning it to her. After hearing about Carly's
loss, Robin decided to take the rest of the day off. Robin took time off
from the hospital and went home to practice relaxation techniques. Patrick
used his key and came to see her. She told him not to barge in, but they
did not argue. They had a serious conversation about Carly's miscarriage.
Patrick said it was not Robin's fault, because she had never wished for
Carly to miscarry, but Robin felt guilty for all her past mistakes and all
the bad karma that she felt that she had built up.
Elizabeth asked Robin and Patrick when they had last seen Nikolas as a
patient. Patrick told her that they hadn't talked to Nikolas since they
tried to operate on him and he freaked out and refused to let them touch
him. Elizabeth pointed out that Nikolas didn't look like someone whose
condition was deteriorating at all and seemed to look in good health.
Patrick told Elizabeth and Robin that Nikolas could be in remission.
Nikolas approached them and overheard them talking about him. He told them
that he didn't appreciate them talking about his condition without his
permission.
Robin answered a knock and found Patrick. Her hormones were acting up. She
was crying because she was holding a teddy bear and did not have mementos
for the child she was carrying. Patrick pretended that he was there to
consult on a case. Robin told him how sweet he was. Instead of fighting,
they enjoyed each other's company, and when Patrick asked Robin if he
could do anything for her, she let him get her an order of ribs, which she
ate ravenously. An amazed Patrick told Robin how beautiful she was and how
he was enjoying watching all the changes that were happening to her as a
result of the pregnancy.
Elizabeth came into the hospital with Jake and Cameron and asked Robin if
she would watch the boys while she ran a quick errand. Robin agreed and
soon found herself trying to bribe Cameron to get her stethoscope back
after he took it from her. Robin begged Epiphany and Patrick to help but
both just looked on and enjoyed the scene. Elizabeth soon returned and
saved Robin from any further agony. Elizabeth went back to work and Robin
soon came over to her and complimented her on how she dealt with life as a
single parent to two boys. Elizabeth admitted she sometimes felt like she
was barely holding on, but it was worth it. Robin asked about the
difference between raising two boys alone and when she was still married
to Lucky. Elizabeth said it was definitely different, but she and Lucky
were over. She couldn't go back. Robin thought Elizabeth should think
about a relationship with Jason. Elizabeth was shocked at Robin's
suggestion, but Robin said she knew they had a brief relationship and
Elizabeth wasn't the type of person to enter into something without
feelings. Robin knew how good Jason was with Michael when he helped to
raise him, and she felt Jason would be good with Elizabeth's kids also.
Patrick came to talk to Robin briefly about a patient's chart, and she
started talking about raising their baby on their own. He asked if she had
a one-track mind and mentioned wanting to take her out and not talk about
babies. Robin said she did think about other things and asked what time he
would be there to pick her up.
Patrick arrived at Robin's apartment to take her out on a date. Robin was
upset because none of her clothes fit. She started talking about all the
changes in her body. She said she felt ugly, but Patrick told her she was
beautiful. They arrived at the Metro Court and tried to come up with
conversation that did not revolve around Robin's pregnancy, but it was
stilted. Robin continued to worry about her looks and her pregnancy. She
felt guilty and insensitive when she realized that Carly had overheard her
bubbling with happiness. Patrick reassured her. He started to order wine
then stopped when he realized that Robin could not drink because of her
pregnancy. Robin told him to order it anyway. As they read the menu, Robin
excused herself and rushed to the ladies room. When she came back, Patrick
wanted to leave because Robin was ill, but she assured him she was fine.
When she got up to go to the ladies room again, Patrick was very worried,
but she said it was only because she had to pee. Once they were back in
Robin's apartment, she thanked Patrick for the evening. He told her that
it was amazing to watch the pregnancy change her. Robin fell asleep on his
shoulder and he tenderly kissed the top of her head.
Robin told Liz she was an inspiration for raising two kids on her own.
They talked about Jason and what a good father he was to Michael. Robin
said she knew Jason lost Michael because she told AJ he was Michael's
father. She always hoped Jason would get the chance to be a father again,
though. Liz admitted she would have been with Jason a long time earlier if
she didn't have kids. Robin talked about Patrick and how he didn't know
what he wanted. They changed the subject back to Jason and the violence of
his life. Robin reminded Liz that she had grown up with parents with
dangerous lives, and the most important thing she remembered was the love
they all shared.
Patrick went to the nurses' station looking for Robin. Epiphany pointed
him toward the lounge where he found Robin napping. He encouraged her to
go home early, and she was on her way until the call came in about
Michael. Patrick told Sonny and Carly that Michael needed surgery. Jason
comforted an inconsolable Carly. Carly was allowed to see Michael alone,
while he waited to be taken to OR. She urged him to hang on and reassured
him of her love. In the waiting area Robin and Jason shared memories of
the time that they had cared for Michael. Robin remembered how Jason had
read travel books to Michael and the calming effect that reading had.
Patrick pulled rank and would not let Robin participate on Michael's
surgical team. He felt that her relationship to Michael, as well as her
pregnancy made her too vulnerable to be objective. Robin was left
speechless.
While Patrick, Robin, Epiphany, and Liz operated on Michael, once the
surgery was finished, Patrick and Robin came out to tell the family that
Michael would live. He said little else. Later, Patrick tried to tell
Carly that although Michael survived the surgery, they did not know the
extent of the damage yet. Carly didn't want to hear any bad news and said
Michael would be fine. When Robin and Patrick were alone in the locker
room, Patrick told Robin it would have been better if they had not done
the surgery and let Michael die. The both saw where the bullet was, and
they both knew Michael would never wake up. Later, Patrick told Robin that
nothing had changed in Michael's condition. When Robin and Patrick came in
to check on Michael, Carly asked when he would wake up. Patrick evaded
answering by telling Carly that they needed to run more tests. At the
nurses' station, Elizabeth overheard Patrick tell Robin that Michael would
never wake up.
Patrick and Robin told Carly and Jason that Michael was in a permanent
coma and wasn't expected to ever wake up. Carly refused to accept their
prognosis for Michael and told them that she knew her son was doing
better. Carly dismissed Robin after she told Carly that the reason that
Michael's coloring was better was because his blood pressure was higher,
not because he was coming out of his coma. Carly told Patrick that if he
didn't believe Michael would get better she would find another doctor who
did.
Patrick came into the bar and approached Diane and Alexis. Alexis asked
Patrick how Michael was doing. Patrick told her that Carly had her own
version of what Michael's prognosis was, and he wasn't going to argue with
her. Patrick got drunk and called Robin at home. Robin guessed that he was
at Jake's just by hearing the background noise. Patrick asked her if she
needed anything from him, like ice cream and ribs. Robin told him she was
fine but thought he was getting drunk. Patrick ended the call before she
could talk to him more. Claudia approached him and offered to buy him a
drink. Patrick defended Robin's decision to have a baby of her own after
Claudia accused Robin of being selfish for risking giving her baby HIV.
She suggested to Patrick that they could have adopted a baby or had a
surrogate mother. Patrick admitted to her that he didn't want to be a
father and that was why he and Robin had broken up to begin with. He told
Claudia that he and Robin conceived a baby because of a ripped condom and
a night of comforting each other. Claudia told Patrick that Robin probably
planned the whole thing so she could get pregnant by him. Patrick defended
Robin again and told Claudia that Robin wouldn't do something like that.
Robin showed up at Jake's to find Claudia cozying up to Patrick.
Patrick tried to explain his relationship with Robin to Claudia. Robin
told him he was wasting his time talking to Claudia. Robin asked why he
was even talking to Ms. Zacchara, and he told her that Claudia wanted to
thank him for saving Michael's life. Before they left, Robin and Patrick
told Claudia that Michael's surgery wasn't all that successful. He was in
a permanent coma. Claudia appeared bothered by the news. When Robin and
Patrick got home, Patrick confided he was drinking because the thought of
what Michael's father was going through was too much for him to handle.
They talked about Carly, Michael, and Sonny and the choices they made.
Patrick was deeply disturbed by Carly wanting to take Michael away from
Sonny.
At the coffee warehouse, a tearful Sonny loaded a gun and remembered
hearing Michael say, "I love you, Dad," just before he was shot.
Sonny reacted menacingly when he heard a noise, but it turned out to be
Robin. Sonny blamed himself for what happened and told Robin that Carly
was right to keep him away from Michael. Robin tried to point out that
Michel needed both his parents, But Sonny felt differently. He told her
that because he instinctively pushed Kate aside, instead of protecting
Michael, he had failed Michael in every way that mattered. Robin told
Sonny that no one had the right to keep a father out of his child's life.
Sonny continued to point out all the ways that he had failed Michael,
until finally Robin asked Sonny if he knew what Michael would want. When
Sonny told her that Michael would want him to be by his side, Robin told
him he should do what Michael would want him to do.
Robin asked Patrick to stay with her, if he would want the company. She
had a change of heart after listening to all of Sonny and Carly's
troubles. She realized she was no better than Carly if she was to push
Patrick away from being a father to their child. She asked him if his
feelings had changed about their baby. Patrick admitted that fatherhood
scared him, but their child was coming no matter what. He realized that
more and more as Robin's belly was starting to poke out. Robin interpreted
that as Patrick calling her fat. Patrick said she wasn't fat, just
pregnant. Robin said she couldn't stop eating, and Patrick admitted he
thought they were going to share their cookies. Robin said she felt like a
cross between a cow and a penguin. Patrick told her she looked like poetry
gliding across the floor. Robin was thrilled Patrick thought she was still
pretty, and they kissed. They made love and admitted that they missed each
other. Both Robin and Patrick said they loved each other, and maybe that
should be enough. Patrick told her again that she was more beautiful than
ever. Robin said he just liked her big boobs, and they shared a laugh.
Robin and Patrick tried to enjoy a night out together by attending the
reopening of the Haunted Star. Unfortunately things did not go smoothly.
Robin's feet were swollen and hurting by the time they arrived at the
casino. A short time later, Robin's stomach became upset. Patrick quickly
sprang into action and found something to help settle it down. Determined
to have fun, Robin decided to play the roulette wheel. She couldn't decide
what number to play so Patrick suggested that she pick the baby's due
date. Robin quietly revealed that the baby was due on October 21. It
proved to be a lucky number. Robin won a bundle and decided that it was a
good time to leave. Patrick and Robin returned to her apartment, got
comfortable, and curled up on the sofa with some junk food.
Michael opened his eyes, but despite Carly's best efforts, remained
unresponsive. After examination, Patrick told Carly and Jax that Michael's
condition was unchanged. Opening his eyes was just a reflex action. Carly
was firmly fixated on Michael's recovery. An exasperated Patrick told
Carly that a second opinion would back him up. She wanted one and demanded
that Jax find a doctor committed to the belief that Michael would wake up.
Carly continued talking to Michael and encouraging him to fight. After
Robin, Patrick, and Jax left, Sam came in and tried to be nice to Carly,
but Carly refused any comfort from Sam.
Jax returned to Michael's bedside and Carly continued in denial. Patrick
and Robin stopped in. Patrick gave Carly a list of doctors who could
provide a second opinion and informed Carly that he was transferring
Michael to Robin's care during the interim. Carly went on another tirade
against Patrick, when Robin told her that they were transferring Michael
out of ICU, which Carly took that as a good sign. Robin defended Patrick,
saying that he was just being objective and honest. She also told Carly
that medical science had done all it could to help Michael and during the
coming week they would need to make plans for Michael's long-term care.
Carly told Robin she was having another doctor, who had hope for Michael,
come to check on him. Later when Jax asked Patrick and Robin for their
opinions, the two doctors told Jax to beware of physicians who would give
false hope in order to make more money. Jax asked them if they thought
Michael was hopeless, and they both said yes. Jax said he would do
whatever necessary to help Michael, even moving heaven and earth. He
checked out both doctors, and he was confident the new doctors would be
able to offer choices. Robin and Patrick felt Michael would need to be
moved to Shadybrook where doctors and attendants would be able to
appropriately care for Michael in his comatose state. Jax thought Carly
would want to be the one caring for Michael, but Robin tried to explain
that Carly wouldn't be able to take care of her vegetative son and still
spend time with Morgan. After Jax left, Patrick noticed Robin had been
clearly affected by the conversation with Jax about Michael. She reminded
him she was the first person to hold Michael when Jason brought him home
from the hospital after his birth. Later, Robin almost hyperventilated and
talked to Liz about her anxiety over her unborn child. Liz assured Robin
she would be a good mother and advised her to do the best she could do.
That was what a mother did for her child.
Robin locked herself out of her apartment while talking to Patrick who
rushed to her side after she screamed and the phone went dead. She
explained that she forgot her keys and was locked out of her apartment.
She also forgot to charge her cell phone. When the landlord let her in, he
and Patrick laughed about "hormones" and the forgetfulness that
stereotypically accompanies pregnancy. When she finally made it to the
hospital, Jax was there with the European specialists he had flown in to
look at Michael. She gave them the charts then left for the day and went
back to her apartment. After work, Elizabeth dropped by Robin's apartment
with baby clothes for her. They chatted and Elizabeth wanted to know how
Robin had stopped loving Jason when they broke up. She told Robin that she
had been seeing Jason in secret before Michael got shot, but since then
they had realized that they had to break up because of the danger it put
her and her children in. Robin said that she did not have much help to
offer. She said that it took her a very long time. She had to move to
Paris and ultimately it was falling in love with Patrick that did the
trick. Elizabeth told her that Patrick was a great guy. Just then Patrick
walked in and the ladies shared a big giggle.
Patrick was curious about Elizabeth's cryptic parting words, "No time
like the present." Robin brushed it off as mommy talk, pointing out
that Elizabeth had stopped by her apartment to drop off baby clothes.
Patrick was skeptical. Robin relented and was on the verge of telling
Patrick what her friend meant when the phone rang. It was Anna calling to
let Robin know that she was coming to Port Charles. Robin tried to find
out when Anna would be arriving, but the weak reception resulted in the
call being dropped. Robin seemed less than thrilled at the prospect of a
visit from her mother. When Patrick questioned her about it, Robin
admitted that she had not told Anna about the baby. Patrick was shocked.
He pointed out that she was several months along. He couldn't believe that
there hadn't been an opportunity to tell Anna. Robin reminded Patrick that
her mother was an international spy. Communication was spotty and there
never seemed to be a right time. She was also worried about Anna's
reaction to the news. In Robin's words, "How do you tell Wonder Woman
that she's going to be a grandma?" At the hospital, Ian approached
Patrick and said he was leaving town. Ian explained he had lost something
he couldn't get back. He suggested Patrick get his life together. Patrick
had a baby on the way, and he should figure out what was best for his
child and its mother. Ian told Patrick to forget his fears.
Anna walked into Robin's apartment after her knocks on the front door went
unanswered. Robin was in the other room and thought it was Patrick. As she
made her way to the door, she yelled out, mentioning her pregnancy. Robin
broke out in smiles when she found her mother, a stunned expression
plastered on her face, standing in her living room. Despite Anna's
reaction, Robin welcomed her in to sit and try to calm down. Anna
apologized for her shock. She was very happy about Robin's pregnancy, but
she wasn't ready for the "grandmother" word yet. Robin explained
how she met Stacey, an HIV-positive pregnant woman at the hospital who
died shortly after giving birth. Robin decided after that experience that
she also wanted to be a mother. Patrick wasn't ready to be a father, so
they split up. They had a one-night stand after Georgie's death, and Robin
became pregnant unexpectedly. Robin didn't tell Patrick at first, but he
figured out he was the father of her baby. The conversation was
interrupted when Patrick knocked on the door. Anna opened the door for him
and hugged the father of her daughter's baby. Patrick mentioned his plans
for getting a beer, and Anna thought that was an excellent idea. Robin
suggested Patrick get them a table at Jake's, while she and Anna freshened
up. After Patrick left, Anna took a phone call and told Robin she had to
go. Anna promised she would be back soon and rushed out the door. Robin
showed up at Jake's just in time to hear Patrick telling Coleman how hot
Robin's mother was.
Patrick was having drinks at Jake's and telling Coleman how
"hot" Robin's mother, Anna, was. Robin overheard all and
confronted Patrick. She was sort of kidding as she got Patrick to admit
that he thought Anna was a cross between Lara Croft and Emma Peel. Coleman
gave Robin some nice compliments and Patrick got jealous. He and Robin
moved to a table where she continued to tease him and he tried to dig
himself out of his predicament. When Kelly and Lainey showed up to join
their conversation, Patrick was outgunned, so he decided to leave the
girls to gossip among themselves. Robin bemoaned being fat and ordinary,
instead of sexy and exciting like Anna. Her friends commiserated with her.
Anna assured her daughter that Robin was still hot. Robin understood that
her mother was having a hard time adjusting to the "grandmother"
word. Anna said she needed to get some air, and left to go to the Haunted
Star. She walked into the casino to find Luke and Tracy arguing over
Luke's safety. Tracy tried to tell Anna they were closed, but Luke offered
her a high stakes game. Tracy asked Anna if she was retired, but Anna
declared she was very much on top of her game. When Luke walked over to
ask Anna why she was out gambling, she confided she was going to be a
grandmother. Anna and Luke prepared to play Naked Roulette while Luke gave
Anna advice in dealing with her daughter.
Sonny entered the room to await Michael's test results, and Patrick came
in shortly after. He told Michael's parents that Michael had a one in ten
thousand chance of Michael waking up because he did still have brain
waves. Patrick came back to Robin's place where he told her about his
conversation with Sonny and Carly. It affected him deeply having to tell
Michael's parents what they were facing with the living death of their
child. He had always thought of parenthood as dirty diapers, chicken pox,
and whiny brats. He was now thinking about parenthood differently, though.
Robin tried to tell Patrick not to allow fear to scare him off. For every
child that was injured, there were others that were fine. They were
interrupted by a knock at the door. It was Tracy, telling them Anna was at
the Haunted Star.
An inebriated Luke and a tipsy Anna played strip roulette on the Haunted
Star, then set up a hanging swing. Anna reclined in the swing, while both
she and Luke admitted that they did not want to get older. They were
quaffing shots of liquor when Robin, Patrick, and Tracy arrived on board.
Robin and Patrick convinced Anna to go home, leaving Luke with a
disgruntled Tracy. After they got back to Robin's apartment, Anna
complained of a sore back and talked to Robin about her fears of becoming
a grandmother. Robin said that she was glad Anna was there, even if she
was hanging upside down drunk in a swing, because Robin needed her mother.
They discussed their fears. Robin told about her fears of pregnancy and
Anna's dangerous job, and Anna worried about getting old and Robin's
health. Robin was grateful when Patrick arrived with food, but Anna wanted
to know when Patrick and Robin were getting married.
Robin was mortified and tried to explain that her mother was having a
nervous breakdown. Anna felt they should get married since Robin and
Patrick clearly loved each other. Their happiness was important to her,
and they did have a bun in the oven. Patrick pointed out that he preferred
to call it a muffin in the oven, but Anna didn't get the joke. Patrick
left to get a drink from Luke, who offered him another after Patrick
explained the conversation with Anna. Patrick tried to get some advice
from Luke and mentioned moving to the "burbs." Luke offered the
Spencer house to Patrick. If Patrick wanted to move in, Luke would ask
Lucky to move out. The house wasn't special without Laura there anymore.
Luke was reluctant to dish out any relationship advice, though. He only
stated that relationships would not work with people who wanted different
things. Meanwhile, Robin tried to explain to her mother how she first met
Patrick. Anna thought Patrick had changed, but Robin said she didn't want
to make a wrong decision and make her child pay for the consequences
later. Robin wanted Anna to speak with Patrick, but Anna had to delay the
conversation after receiving an urgent text message.
Elizabeth invited Robin and Patrick to Jake's first birthday party. Robin
took Patrick aside and apologized for Anna's behavior the day before, when
Anna had asked Patrick when he and Robin would marry. Robin explained that
she had set Anna straight-that in fact Anna now understood that they would
never marry. Patrick said little and the conversation turned to Nikolas'
upcoming surgery. Instead of being angry that she had been pulled from the
surgery team, Robin was relieved and thanked Patrick. She left for Jake's
party. Patrick performed surgery on Nikolas, who survived. Patrick
commented that if Nikolas had waited only one more week to have the
surgery, it would have been too late. Bobby, Robin, Lulu, Elizabeth, and
Cameron gathered in the park to celebrate Jake's birthday. Johnny stopped
by and spoke with Lulu, then left. Patrick also came to the party, but
stayed to enjoy the festivities and familial atmosphere.
Robin and Patrick talked in a corner of the nurses' lounge, while Epiphany
and Liz listened. Robin tried to explain that she was looking for answers
Patrick couldn't give her, like how to shave her legs when she was so
pregnant you couldn't reach them. Patrick mentioned that any advice would
fall on deaf ears, anyway, because Robin would always do what she wanted.
They continued to talk as they worked. When they rounded the corner and
arrived back at the nurses' station, Liz had a web address for Robin where
experienced mothers gave advice. Robin thanked her, but as she prepared to
get on the elevator, Robin told Patrick she had been determined to live
her pregnancy and not always do what others suggested. She thought maybe
she should do an online diary, in addition to her blog. Patrick thought it
would be more fun for Robin to express her concerns to him, but Robin
hadn't thought that was a very good idea. Robin went home and started her
video blog, saying she wanted to create something for all the single,
pregnant women out there. They were all in it together, so they should
share their experiences. She was thankful her nausea was over, but she was
so hungry that she was upset there were only four food categories. Robin
wanted to make sure she didn't gain too much weight, though, especially
because the father of her baby already mentioned her mother was hotter
than her.
Robin was on duty at General Hospital when Patrick brought her a giant
monkey for the baby. He told her that he was still nervous about being a
father, but he was happy for her and wanted to participate in the who
experience. Patrick worries that he would not be a good father. Robin told
Patrick that she was "cautiously optimistic" and Patrick said he
was "cautiously optimistic," also. Robin dropped by
Jason's place to give him a globe, which had been left behind in Michael's
room, that she was sure had been purchased by Jason. Jason had real tears
in his eyes as he told Robin that she had been right all those years ago
when she and Monica had warned him about the possible results of his
violent lifestyle. Robin comforted him and told him that he also gave
Michael the two most important things a parent could give a child: a sense
of self-worth and unconditional love. Before leaving, she told him that he
had to balance the bad with the good.
Kelly and Robin were chatting in the visitor's area of the hospital while
Patrick lurked nearby and eavesdropped on their conversation. When Kelly
mentioned how popular Robin's blog had become, Patrick decided to reveal
his presence. He wanted to know what Robin had been saying about him on
the blog. Robin was evasive. She said that she had only mentioned Patrick
in passing and then walked away before he could question her further.
Patrick didn't believe Robin so he turned to Kelly for answers. Kelly
wasn't able to duck Patrick's questions as easily as Robin did. She warned
Patrick that he would not like what he would see on Robin's blog, but
Patrick was like a dog with a bone. He demanded to see the blog. Kelly
tried her best to talk him out of it, but failed. Reluctantly, she brought
up the blog on one of the hospital's computers. The video shown was of
Robin ranting about Patrick's faults. Kelly turned it off before he could
see the worst of the rant. Unfortunately, he saw enough that he decided to
start his own video blog. Patrick went to Jake's and enlisted Coleman's
help to film the first entry for his blog. Patrick intended to speak to
all of the fathers who weren't ready for parenthood when they learned that
they had a baby on the way, but were willing to take responsibility for
their children.
Robin was filming a new blog entry when someone began knocking, rather
incessantly, on her front door. Robin assumed it was Patrick and said,
"I'm busy. Go away." When Robin answered the door, she was
pleasantly surprised to see her mother. Anna brought scones for tea time
with Robin. Cocktails were more Anna's style, though, so Robin was curious
what was going on with her mother. Anna said she was just beginning to
face reality and suggested a desk job might be a good change for her new
status of grandmother-to-be. Robin didn't think that was a good idea. Anna
continued talking about how she couldn't go around "kung-fooing"
everyone. Meanwhile, Anna was trying to open the jar of jam. Her pregnant
daughter took the jar and opened it for her when Anna couldn't. They were
interrupted when Anna's phone rang. She promised her daughter she wouldn't
be running off after taking the phone call, like in the past. When Anna
answered, she discovered it was Chip, the manager for Eli Love. The rock
star was in Rio and had two days off. He had two back stage passes for
Anna and wanted her to join him. Anna thanked him for the offer, but said
she couldn't go. When she said goodbye, Robin asked her what was wrong
with her for not taking the incredible offer.
Later, when Patrick and Robin arrived home, she asked why he had brought
his laptop to Jake's. Robin inquired if he had been hanging out with
Spinelli. Patrick said no and came clean about his blog. She wanted to
look at it, and Patrick and Robin soon discovered Patrick's blog was video
of women shooting pool thanks to Coleman. Both Patrick and Robin agreed
not to look at each other's blogs and kissed. Patrick and Robin watched
Patrick's first blog entry on his laptop. Patrick was prepared for Robin
to yell at him, but she surprised him instead. Robin apologized for not
understanding and paying attention to Patrick's feelings. Patrick
confessed he was curious about his child's looks and personality. He was
looking forward to meeting his child for the first time. When Patrick
commented on Anna's scones, Robin mentioned how surprised she was at her
mother's swing from one end of the spectrum to the other. Patrick admitted
he wasn't sure how he was going to deal with parenthood, but Robin
reminded him they would deal with things as they progressed. They sat
talking and eating ice cream until suddenly Robin felt the baby kick. The
baby was responding to Patrick's voice. He continued talking and felt
Robin's stomach until he also felt their baby kicking.
Robin visited Maxie, who told her what had really happened with Spinelli.
They share a few laugh, as Maxie assured Robin that she was not attracted
to Spinelli sexually. Sam dropped by Spinelli's place and gave him the bad
news-he had not had sex with Maxie. Spinelli was distraught that all the
advice he had received from his male heroes was useless. Sam told him that
if he wanted to do well with women, he should get advice from a woman and
she was just the woman to help him.
**The End**
