hours
Sunday, June
1, 1997 (Primetime Premiere Movie) - It was early evening at General
Hospital and the security guards were changing shifts. A security monitor
went black. One guard said to the other, "Don't worry. Nothing bad
happens at General Hospital." In the meantime, Chris Ramsey discussed
the reception for the new interns with his girlfriend, who revealed Chris'
"privileged" background. EMT Frank Scanlon teased his brother
Joe about his attire for the interns' reception. Jake Marshak phoned his
girlfriend Danielle from the hospital and left a message saying he didn't
want to do this without her. At the hotel, Matt Harmon talked to his
mother on the phone as he prepared for the reception at the hospital. Eve
Lambert revealed her "strong" personality to one hotel employee.
Julie Morris arrived at the Port Charles Airport to find that her father
had sent a limo for her -- something she didn't want. Karen Wexler Cates
met her childhood friend Joe Scanlon outside General Hospital and he
helped her on with her necklace. Karen and Joe then reminisced about
playing together as children. Because of the power failure, the main
elevators were not operating, which forced the interns to use the patient
elevator. Arriving on the 6th floor, the interns discovered that it was
under construction and that the reception was a scam. Greg Cooper pulled a
gun and began to taunt the interns and uncover the secrets they were
hiding. Secretly, Joe paged Frank for help, which only angered Greg who
continued to insult and badger everyone. Frank learned from Audrey Hardy
that there was no reception. Audrey and Chief Resident Dr. Faulk headed to
the 6th floor. Audrey was seriously injured and Dr. Faulk was killed by
Greg when they arrived. Realizing the seriousness of Audrey's injuries,
the interns decided to act fast. Joe used a drill to relieve the pressure
on Audrey's brain. To distract Greg, Karen agreed to strip for him. At the
same time, the interns overpowered Greg and gained control. Meanwhile,
Lucy was at her doctor's office and found out that she is pregnant. On her
way to tell Kevin the "good" news, Lucy was in the elevator at
the hospital as the lights flickered and the power failed. She screamed
and hoped someone would hear. Upon hearing Lucy's cries for help, Greg
fired the gun at the elevator. Lucy escaped Greg's gun fire by climbing on

walking down a long corridor looking for "Buddy." In her
nightmare, Julie opened a door, screamed and heard gun shots which brought
her dream into the present where she came face to face with Cooper. Joe
tried to persuade Karen to stay until her father is out of danger. Karen

Julie share the apartment. Not wanting to tell Eve that she could afford
the rent and didn't need a roommate, Julie agreed. In the Scanlons'
kitchen, Joe tried to sing Frank's praises to Julie. Frank told Julie how
proud he was of Joe especially since he struggled paying for med school
similarly to Julie. Julie became uncomfortable but didn't correct him. At

and Scotty covered by using the Nurse's Ball as an excuse. Karen arrived
to ask Scotty about someone to represent Joe. Scotty told her that he
didn't have time to think about it. Karen abruptly apologized and left.

that Karen might feel that Joe's hearing had as much to do with her as it
did with Joe. Kevin left and Lucy reminded Scotty that he has two
daughters. Lucy left for the hospital to give another blood sample. When
Lucy arrived at the lab, she heard a tape of Serena singing. The kidnapper
approached Lucy from behind demanding her not to make a sound. As all the

shouldn't be the only one facing the review board. On the other hand,
Chris and Eve were clear they would testify that they were not involved.
Mary arrived and was upset she wasn't informed about the hearing beginning
today. Frank told her it had been moved up and advised Joe to keep his
cool. Alan, Monica, and Tony entered and the hearing began. Tony explained
that Audrey would have died if some action had not been taken but the use
of an electric drill was excessive. Joe insisted that he didn't have a
choice. Alan told Joe that he would have a chance to speak. Tony then
admitted that he was in a similar situation when he operated on Audrey and
the computers crashed. It was brought up that Tony had been an experienced
surgeon and not an intern. Chris began to testify that Joe overreacted
because there had been a gun pointed at him. Chris also said that Cooper
had been manipulating the situation and suggested the surgery. Karen came
to Joe's defense and explained that they had no choice. The other interns,
except for Chris and Eve, testified that Joe did not act alone and that

board's decision more complicated. At this moment, Scott arrived at the
hearing.

the track and insisted Lucy and Scotty play by a different set of rules.

her that no one was to know about this plan. Lucy agreed but demanded
proof that Serena is alive. Rex said he would give them proof tomorrow.
Later, Lucy talked to Kevin, but didn't tell him about her encounter with
Rex when he asked what was wrong. Kevin then told Lucy that he could not
have picked a better partner and they would get through anything. At Joe's
hearing, Scotty explained that he was acting as Joe's attorney. Then
Scotty continued to point out that the hostage situation was similar to
combat conditions which would change the way any normal emergency room
functioned. Scotty then expressed that the interns' lives were in danger
and there had been no guidance from experienced doctors. Mary surprised
the group when she wheeled Audrey into the hearing and Audrey thanked Joe
for saving her life. Joe explained what happened and said that he would do
it again in order to save a life. The hearing ended and the board members
were ready to make a decision. Not long after that, Alan informed Joe that
his internship would not be terminated. Meanwhile, Danielle put on her
disguise when she brought Serena lunch and began reading "Charlotte's
Web". Serena then commented on that being her favorite story and

Tuesday,
July 1, 1997 - Lucy gingerly suggested to Scott that he loosen his reins
on Serena and feared that they had become too dependent on one another.
Lucy questioned Scott about Eve and Scott explained how Eve had helped
him. Meanwhile, Eve tried to deal with the consequences of her theft of
Scott's money, and tried to figure out how to return it. Frank confiscated
some of the money from Eve as payment for rent. Later, Scott surprised Eve
with a visit. Julie helped Chris deal with the loss of the young patient.
Julie revealed that losing a patient was her worst fear and Chris admitted
that he had felt helpless. After he had bonded with Julie, Chris regretted
stealing her file. Frank and Julie later met at the ER and he realized
that she had been with Chris. Frank and Julie were interrupted when a
panicked mother ran into the emergency room with her young child.
Meanwhile, Rex showed Danielle proof that she and Jake would take the fall
for Serena's kidnapping unless she played by his rules. Rex also revealed
to Danielle that he was the one who had driven the rental car that had run
over Scott and that he had evidence that would make her the chief suspect.
Wednesday, July 2, 1997 - Lucy complained to Kevin that Scott had been
keeping Serena too isolated. Kevin agreed with Lucy, but urged her not to
get involved. Scott insisted on paying Eve for her help and she accepted
payment in cash and asked to return to the lighthouse with him. Eve lied
about why she wanted to go back to the lighthouse and managed to return
the money she had taken from the ransom bag. Scott felt betrayed by Lucy
after he had learned that she had invited Gail and Lee to see Serena.
Scott learned from the federal agents that the ransom money had been
marked. To Frank's chagrin, Chris performed brilliantly in the emergency
room and correctly diagnosed the child's problems. Chris and Julie treated
the child, who was soon on his way to recovery. Mary sensed that Frank had
felt left out of Julie and Chris's success and invited Julie to poker
night as a way to fix things. Later, Mary gave Mike one of the marked
bills that Frank had taken from Eve for rent. With Rex having her set up
in every possible way, Danielle realized that she and Jake had to
cooperate with him. Later, Rex met with Lucy under the guise of a business
appointment.

who loved him. Gail learned that Kevin and Lucy were expecting a child.

not over. Using an assumed name, Rex met with Lucy at the airport and then
later opened up his mansion in town. Joe and Karen were not able to make
the Scanlon poker party because they delivered a baby together. To avoid
snagging her glove, Karen removed her wedding ring. Later, Joe noticed
that Karen was not wearing her ring when they hugged. Meanwhile at the
poker party, Mike cashed one of Eve's hundred dollar bills for Mary and
planned to put it in the bank. Frank and Julie shared their first kiss.
Rhonda told Mary that she had private fears about Karen and Jagger's
marriage.
Friday, July 4, 1997 - Scott said goodbye to Eve, who told a patient about
a "rich guy" she was starting to like. Scott also told Karen
that he was leaving Port Charles and gave her a gift with his phone number
and address. After intercepting a call for Scott, Lucy realized that he
planned to take Serena back to Canada soon. A heartbroken Lucy told Kevin
that she could not go back to a life without Serena and then interfered
with Scott's plans. Joe and Karen shared a warm moment in the on-call
room. Mary told Joe that Rhonda thought that Karen's marriage to Jagger
was in trouble. Joe noticed that Karen was still not wearing her wedding
ring and tried to comfort her when she cried about Scott's imminent
departure from Port Charles. Mike relented to Matt's demand to move into
the unfurnished apartment in the back of the Recovery Room even though the
repairs were not yet completed. Later, Mike and Mary were arrested for
passing stolen currency.
Monday, July 7, 1997 - Lucy was set to confront Scott about his intention
to leave Port Charles, but he was called away to the police department.
Scott learned that someone had been passing the stolen ransom money. Mary
was mortified when Frank and Joe rescued her at the police station. Mary
reluctantly told Scott that Frank had given her the stolen money and Scott
deduced that it was Eve who was responsible for the theft. Meanwhile, Lucy
took Serena to the park with Lee and also arranged to meet Rex. Lucy told
Lee that it was selfish for Scott to take Serena away, but Lee thought it
would be too painful for Scott to stay in Port Charles. Rex called
Danielle and told her to come to the park to begin "Act Two."
Serena ran into Danielle at the park and was petrified that Serena would
recognize her. Karen railed at Eve for not relying Jagger's message, but
later apologized and explained her martial situation. Karen and Eve
continued to talk and reached a level of respect. Karen was glad, and
Ellen was impressed, when Eve correctly diagnosed a patient with suspect
symptoms. Eve's joy was quickly deflated when Scott had her arrested in
the Emergency Room.
Tuesday, July 8, 1997 - Scott confronted Eve about her theft of the ransom
money. Eve admitted taking the money, but only after she knew that Serena
was safe. Eve explained how the money had accidentally fell into her bag.
Scott feigned anger to make Eve squirm, and she wished she had never met
him. Eve was surprised, but not grateful, when Scott did not press
charges. Mac learned the ransom diamonds were being fenced in Hong Kong.
Mac agreed with Kevin when he voiced his fears that the kidnappers were
not finished with Serena. Kevin did not want to tell Scott because he was
afraid that Scott would leave town with Serena and cut off contact with
Lucy. Kevin also expressed his dislike for Scott's treatment of Lucy and
how Scott had disrupted their lives. After her ordeal with Scott, Eve
returned home to find she had been evicted from the Scanlons' basement.
Meanwhile, Serena did not recognize Danielle in the park. Rex met with
Lucy and mixed business with pleasure by giving Serena some attention.

had disobeyed his request not to take Serena to the park. Scott then made
it clear to Lucy that he was leaving Port Charles with Serena.
Wednesday, July 9, 1997 - Lucy and Scott argued over his plans to leave
Port Charles with Serena. A desperate Lucy finally had Scott watch a
videotape of Dominique that was made before Serena was born. Scott was
moved when he watched Dominique's message to her unborn child. Frank tried
to evict Eve and blamed her for Mary's ordeal with the police over the
stolen ransom money. Eve told Frank that Scott had dropped the charges and
that Frank had to take her to court to evict her. Julie intervened and
stood up for Eve and convinced Frank to give Eve another chance, but he
wondered why Julie was sticking up for Eve. Guilty over not telling Frank
the truth about her wealthy family, Julie told Frank that at least Eve was
not misrepresenting herself and also mentioned the importance of forgiving
people for one mistake. Meanwhile, Chris bribed Eve to help break up Julie
and Frank. Ellen talked with Kevin about her frustration with the interns.
Kevin and Ellen deduced that the interns air of invincibility, and
unresponsive nature towards her, could be traced to the hostage crisis.
Kevin then offered to do a study on the interns.
Thursday, July 10, 1997 - Scott made an emotional visit to Dominique's
grave and asked for her help in deciding whether or not to stay in Port
Charles. Karen was still sad over Scott's imminent departure from Port
Charles and wanted to say goodbye to Serena. Joe accompanied Karen to the
lighthouse so that he could thank Scott for his help at the review board
hearing. Later, Scott returned to the lighthouse and told Gail, Lee,
Kevin, Lucy, Karen and Joe that he and Serena were staying in Port
Charles. Joe saw the positive effect Karen's family had on her and hoped
that they would help her get over her separation from Jagger. After making
his final preparations for his important night with Danielle, Jake was
upset when he returned home to find to her and Rex together. Jake asked
Rex to leave and then proposed to Danielle. Despite feeling unworthy of
Jake's love and devotion, Danielle accepted his marriage proposal. Rex
visited Dominique's grave and expressed his resentment over not inheriting
any of her money. Rex made it clear that nothing was going to stop him
from getting what he felt was owed to him.
Friday, July 11, 1997 - Joe continued to misread Karen's marital situation
by thinking that she and Jagger were estranged. Joe helped Karen find an
apartment and they then celebrated with wine and pizza. Karen and Joe's
warm moment together lead them to a kiss. Mike told Mary that the city
found out about his arrest record and had delayed the Recovery Room's
liquor license. Mary told Mike that she still wanted to see him and did
not care about his past or that he was Sonny's father. Mary and Mike
decided to become partners as a way to obtain a liquor license for the
bar. Meanwhile, Ellen vented her anger to Grace and Matt when she learned
that Greg Cooper was deemed unfit to stand trial. Chris woke Julie up from
her nightmare about Greg. Using the information he had learned from her
file, Chris almost got Julie to open up about her past. Chris and Julie's
quiet moment was interrupted by Frank. Chris's angry outburst at Frank
caused Chris and Julie to part on bad terms. Julie went to treat an
Emergency Room patient and was shocked to find out that it was Greg
Cooper.
Monday, July 14, 1997 - Karen pulls away from Joe's kiss at last and
shakily reminds him that she has a husband. When he suggests that her
marriage seems to be on the rocks, an angry and flustered Karen claims she
and Jagger have never been happier. Julie freaks out when Greg Cooper
arrives at the ER on a stretcher following a car accident during a
prisoner transfer. When Greg makes a remark about meeting "Dr.
Devlin" again, Julie struggles to regain her composure as she insists
that her last name is Morris. Scotty rescues Eve after a teenaged punk
attempts to mug her on the docks. Joe asks Karen why she neglected to
mention anything about being married when she returned to town and signed
on at GH. Finally admitting that she and Jagger have been having some
problems, Karen nevertheless declares that her personal life is none of
Joe's business. Eve is pleased to learn that Scotty has decided to remain
in Port Charles. Ellen puts aside her deep antipathy for Greg as she
treats the former intern's serious chest injury. Meanwhile, Chris and Matt
work feverishly to save the life of a police officer injured in the same
crash. Sensing that Eve suffers from the same greed which once afflicted
him, Scotty explains to the doctor how the love of a wonderful woman
turned his life around. After the policeman dies, Julie accuses Greg of
faking the seizure in an attempt to flee from custody. Later, Frank has to
pull his enraged brother off of Greg.
Tuesday, July 15, 1997 - When Chris offers his obviously upset colleague a
sympathetic ear, Julie tearfully declares that if he knew the real Dr.
Morris he wouldn't feel so friendly towards her. Karen goes to the
lighthouse to let her father know that she's moved into her own place.
When Lucy quizzes her about the state of her marriage, Karen hastily
claims that she's expecting Jagger to relocate to Port Charles and join
her in the new apartment any day now. Ellen calls Kevin and asks for some
assistance dealing with Greg Cooper's sudden reappearance at GH. Later,
Ellen doles out a rare compliment to Matt for his game attempt to save the
dying policeman. Lucy gives Karen the good news about her pregnancy. As
they discuss the men in their lives, Lucy wonders aloud how close Karen
has become to Joe Scanlon and is intrigued when the young woman describes
her friend as her soul mate. Meanwhile, Frank gives Joe some brotherly
advice about facing the obstacles he'll encounter in his lifetime.
Encouraged by Chris to open up, Julie reveals how her beloved older
brother committed suicide when she was fourteen years old. Ellen confides
to Kevin her concern that having Greg in the hospital will push her
already struggling interns over the edge.
