June 4- As Ian stares at the cradle in the corner, Eve happily confirms that she is indeed carrying his child. Terrified to hear a crash just before the headset goes dead, Livvie and Alison decide to go investigate. Jamal furiously accuses Zach of driving Jack to his death. Ian assures Eve he's thrilled to learn that he's going to be a dad, then delivers some good news of his own. After Zach and his gang disappear, Jamal is relieved to see Jack starting to slowly move his head. Shaken to learn that his brother has been roaming free, Michael reminds his sneering sibling that he must stay put for his own good. As Livvie tearfully leans over her bloody and broken boyfriend, Jack whispers a last declaration of love. Ian thanks Michael for helping Eve in her hour of need. Back at the chapel, Eve can't resist sneaking a peek behind the door Michael always kept locked. 

June 5- Lucy begins recruiting for the Nurses Ball and has her usual difficulty finding a dresser. In desperation, she tries to cajole Kevin into taking the job but he carefully sidesteps her strong-arm tactics. At the chapel, Ian locates Eve just before the shadowy figure creeps up behind her. Jamal and Alison try to gently pull a grieving Livvie away from Jack's lifeless body. After Alison admits how she prevented Jamal from entering the race, Livvie tearfully reminds her friend that saving one life resulted in the loss of another. Eve and Ian return to the cabin, where they enjoy a romantic reunion and celebrate the fact that their child is on the way. An enraged Livvie accuses Alison of killing the man she loved. When Jamal explains how Zach set him up to take the fall for Jack's tragic crash, Livvie suggests that they cover up the fact that her boyfriend has died. Lucy tells Kevin why she fears a stranger is about to cause havoc in Ian's life. Meanwhile, Michael discovers the chapel trashed and his identical twin missing. Jamal hammers together a makeshift coffin and buries Jack in an empty field as Livvie vows to make Zach pay for his terrible crime. 

June 6- Lucy left yet another message for Ian, still unable to reach him. Kevin tried to calm her down. She told him how hard she has been working on everything, trying to keep order in her life. He praised her and told her what a wonderful job she has done over the past year getting her life back together, and overcoming the fact that Christina was no longer a part of her life. Kevin told her that he knew today was especially hard for her because it was Christina's birthday. As they where reminiscing about Christina, there was a knock at Lucy's door. It was a messenger delivering a letter to her. It was in one of her company's envelopes, with just her name on the front. She opened it to find a picture of Christina and a letter. In tears, she began reading the letter that told all about Christina's life now. The letter went on to say how loved Christina was and that she wanted Lucy to know she was being well taken care of. The letter was signed by Julie and in the postscript she added that she made sure that the letter could not be traced. Lucy was devastated, and told Kevin that Christina was growing up without her. Ian and Eve spent the night at the cabin. They agreed that it was time to go back to Port Charles to begin their new life. Eve told Ian that there was something that she needed to tell him first. She told Ian that Chris has proposed to her, and how close she was to accepting. Ian was thankful she did not accept and also questioned his motives. He told Eve that Chris had shown him an engagement ring, but did not know that Eve was the intended bride. Eve was quick to defend Chris telling Ian how supportive he was, and how much he wanted a family. Eve and Ian stopped by the monastery to say a final good-bye to Michael and were shocked to see all of the destruction that had been done to the chapel. They could not believe why anyone would do such a thing and were even more stunned when Michael told them that it was his twin brother who had done the damage. When Eve asked Michael if he had notified the police he was very quick to tell them that the police could not be involved. Chris was looking at the ring he had picked out for Eve when Gabriela passed by. When she asked him what he had, he coldly replied that she knew what a ring box was, and when Gabriela asked why he seemed so unhappy, he replied that it didn't matter anymore. Chris told her that he was expecting the jeweler, but she told him that she was not on duty, she was meeting her family for dinner. He remarked that he didn't have a family and she then reminded him that he did, he had his brother. As Gabriela's brother came to pick her up Chris told her to have a good time with her family. Colleen remarked how wonderful it was that Gabriela's family was so close. Chris then asked Colleen to sign him out, and when she asked where he would be if anyone needed him, he told her that he was going to go see his brother. Jamal, Livvie and Allison said their final good-byes to Jack and as Livvie left, she promised Jack that there would be justice. They stopped at a diner on their way home to regroup before going back home. Livvie hesitated leaving jack behind and Jamal promised her that it would only be for a short time, and once they where able to prove that Zach was responsible for Jack's death, they would bring him back to Port Charles. As they got up to leave Livvie saw a sheriff walk in. She quickly sat back down as he approached their table asking if they knew who owned the car towing the wrecked bike. They had received a call from an angry farmer whose fence had been damaged. Jamal confessed that he had lost control of his bike and busted the fence. He continued asking them all questions as Allison and Livvie tried not to look or sound nervous. Livvie held her jacket closed to cover her blood stained shirt. He then noticed blood on Jamal's hand and Jamal covered it with a napkin and told him that he had hurt it when he wrecked. The sheriff seemed to believe his story and told him to be more careful next time and left the diner. Jamal sighed with relief and told the girls that was only the beginning of the questions. 

June 7- After Michael explains to Ian why his violent brother is a danger to himself and others, Eve admits that she must have accidentally let Caleb out of the basement without even knowing he was there. Gazing at the photo of Christina as a healthy, happy two-year-old, Lucy tells Kevin she realizes Julie has fulfilled her pledge to take good care of the daughter they both love. Jamal, Alison and Livvie return to the bike shop just as Chris arrives for a chat with his brother. Michael tells Eve and Ian he locked Caleb up to prevent him from destroying the monastery. Livvie rails at Chris for turning his back on his brother, then angrily informs the doctor that he's way too late for a family reunion because Jack is gone for good. Puzzled by Livvie's sharp tone and strange words, Chris demands that Jamal tell him where Jack went. Though his visitors suggest contacting the authorities, Michael insists that the police cannot be called in. Disclosing that he became a priest because of Caleb, Michael reveals that the bond he shares with his twin has made him feel responsible for his brother's actions. Alison warns Kevin that his daughter is in trouble and needs him now more than ever. June 8TH - Jamal urges Alison to stop blaming herself for Jack's untimely death. Kevin and Lucy tell a wary Livvie they know all about her boyfriend leaving town. Ian and Eve head back to Port Charles with light hearts and bright plans for the future. In the monastery, Michael prays that his homicidal brother will do no harm while he's on the loose. Kevin tries to console his tearful daughter but she makes a hasty excuse to depart. Sensing that Livvie's grief goes much deeper than the pain of getting dumped by a lover, Lucy warns Kevin the girl may be in more trouble than they know. Alison admits to Jamal how glad she is that he didn't pay the same terrible price Jack did. Lucy explains to a skeptical Kevin why she believes Jack didn't leave Port Charles of his own free will. Sitting alone in the woods, Livvie feels closer to the man she loved and lost. Kevin and Lucy realize that Jack's wallet and all his belongings are still in his room behind the bike shop. As he wanders through the woods, Caleb spots a vulnerable Livvie sitting all by herself in the clearing. 

June 11- Concerned about his missing brother, Chris hires a private detective to locate Jack. Meanwhile, Kevin and Lucy attempt to piece together a puzzle as Jamal struggles to keep Alison's frayed nerves from unraveling completely. Caleb happens upon Livvie deep in the woods, then slips away from the girl without saying a word. Intrigued by his first glimpse of Sam, Chris makes a pass at her but is startled when she explains that she's come to the hospital in search of Jack. Questioned by her suspicious father, Livvie claims that she and her friends caught Jack stealing from the bike shop and forced the young man to leave town in disgrace. Later, Livvie privately tells Jamal and Alison about her encounter with a stranger who seemed to recognize her somehow. Sam evades Chris' questions about his kid brother, then flees when he threatens to call the police. Caleb trails Livvie to Lucy's place, where he looks longingly and creepily through the window, promising that this time everything will work out for him and Livvie. 

June 12- Frank cautions Karen to keep mum about their amazing adventure in time. Ian and Eve return to town and head to General Hospital to check on Arianna. Jamal pays a call on Billy and is unpleasantly surprised when the former racer suddenly changes his story and insists he knows nothing about Zach's criminal activities. Victor tells an agitated Ian that his wife has already been spirited out of town and into a protective program. Later, Ian receives annulment papers along with a note from Arianna expressing her gratitude to her now ex-husband and the woman he loves. Zach explains to a fuming Jamal how he "persuaded" Billy to clam up. Joe and Gaby make plans to spend the weekend together. Eve has an uneasy reunion with Chris. A jittery Livvie confides to Alison how she can't shake the creepy feeling that she's being watched. After Jamal glumly reports that Zach has outmaneuvered him once again, Livvie secretly arms herself with a switchblade. Chris' private eye fills him in on how Jack began a motocross race near the Canadian border but hasn't been seen since. Jamal suggests to Alison that the time has come to call in the cops. 

June 13- Eve and Ian continue to celebrate at the recovery room as Lucy and Kevin walked in. Lucy was very relieved to see that Ian was okay. However, She was still convinced that there was trouble in the woods for someone. Ian told her all about Michael, Caleb and the Monastery as Eve talked to Kevin. Eve told Kevin that she was expecting and was thrilled when Kevin told her how happy he was for her, and was glad that things were coming together for her. He went over to congratulate Ian while Lucy was on the phone. They were talking about the baby as Lucy came back to the table and overheard their conversation. She tried to hide her sadness and told Ian and Eve that she would throw a big party for them. Kevin knew that the news of Eve's pregnancy had upset Lucy. He kissed her and tried to cheer her up, but was interrupted by a phone call from Victor. His friend Abe had to be taken to GH after having some kind of an episode while they were fishing near the woods. Jamal told Alison that he is confident that he is doing the right thing by going to the authorities, no matter what the outcome is. They talk about their life together, and how much better each of their lives have become. Jamal told Alison what he wanted her to do in case he went to jail, and Alison tried to reassure him that things were going to work out. He told her that he would call he as soon as he could, but she insisted on going to the police with him. Livvie approached Zach and he told her that he was surprised that she was alone. She told him that she was going to make him pay for killing Jack, and pulled out the knife. As she held the knife to his throat he taunted her to kill him, but could not do it. He broke lose from her grasp and told her that he knew she was not a mean person and grabbed her and started kissing her. Screaming and crying she managed to cut his face with the knife and get away. Zach turned around to find her and sees Caleb staring at him instead. When he asked who he was Caleb told him that they has business to take care of. Zach told him that if it was about the diamonds he didn't have them. Caleb told him that he had interest in something more precious than diamonds, and he was about to become Zach's worst nightmare. He questioned the blood on Zach's hands and face. He then told him that it was not nice to mistreat women, a certain women, pushed him up against the wall and grabbed him by the throat. Livvie ran to safety, fell to the ground and hysterically apologized to Jack for not being able to kill Zach. 

June 14- Though Alison frets that her boyfriend will take the fall for Jack's death, Jamal reminds her that they owe it to their pal to tell the police the whole truth. Meanwhile, Zach is found lying at the bottom of a ravine with a broken neck. A worried Victor summons Kevin to the ER after an old friend begins acting peculiar during a fishing trip. Caleb follows Livvie into the woods and informs the young woman that he is her future. As Abe becomes violent and has to be restrained, Kevin attempts to discern what's affecting the normally congenial judge. After declaring Zach dead, Chris tells Frank that the young man didn't have a drop of blood left in his body. At the precinct house, Jamal prepares to tell his story but stops short when he hears that Zach has met with foul play. Caleb's soft words begin to mesmerize Livvie. An agitated Victor suggests to his son that something unholy is living in the woods on the outskirts of town. Chris demands some answers from Sam, who bitterly claims that Jamal and Alison murdered first Jack and then Zach. 

June 15- Alarmed to see Abe with his hands around Kevin's throat, Lucy whacks the judge with a bedpan. Jamal assures Livvie he knows she had nothing to do with Zach's death, then asks the girl if she saw anyone else as she fled from the bikers' lair. Eve suffers her first bout of morning sickness just as Ian tries to pour out his heart. After sedating his patient and transferring him up to the psych ward, Kevin explains to Lucy his father's theory that something attacked Abe in the woods. Though Chris expresses skepticism about her story, Sam continues to insist that Jamal killed Jack with help from his blonde bimbo and Livvie. Meanwhile, Livvie tells Jamal and Alison how Caleb has apparently been following her around for several days. Angered to overhear Chris' conversation with Sam, Kevin accuses the young woman of lying to advance her own private agenda. Caleb returns to the basement of the old monastery and stares at the portrait of his Olivia.

Ian presents a delighted Eve with a traditional Irish ring to symbolize their hearts united forever in love. Insisting that Jack can't be dead, Lucy advises Andy to call off his storm troopers but the detective refuses to give up the search for his prime suspects. Michael threatens to turn in his brother if Caleb doesn't stop attacking innocent people.

June 20- Eve and Ian returned from signing divorce papers. Ian suggested that they spend a quiet evening at home, but Eve reminded him that they needed to start getting ready for the nurses ball. Eve knew that Ian didn't like attending events like this and told him that they didn't have top go, but Ian insisted telling her that this would be there first public appearance as an engaged couple. Jamal, Alison and Livvie took Jack back to the bike shop still amazed that he was really alive. Jamal was very disturbed by the whole situation. He knew Jack was dead when they buried him, and now he was standing there without a scratch on him. Jamal questioned Jack about everything that has happened to him but Jack told him that he didn't know how he got out of the coffin and couldn't remember anything. Frustrated by all of Jamal's questioning, Jack went outside to get some air. Caleb appeared lurking around the corner of the shop watching Jack. He whispered to himself that he was surprised that Jack had made it back so fast, but that it didn't matter. He began to approach Jack, but ducked back behind the shop when he saw Chris coming. Jack coldly greeted Chris as they walked back into the shop. Chris told him that he was concerned about him and had tried to find him. Chris made an inappropriate comment about Livvie and Jack grabbed him by the throat, pushed him up against a shelf and held him there. It took Jamal, Livvie and Alison to pull Jack off of Chris. Gasping for air, Chris angrily told Jack that he may be alive, but he was dead to him. After he left the shop Jamal told Jack that he had an iron grip on Chris, and wondered what was up? Again Jack had no answers for Jamal. Gaby was still trying to get out of performing at the Nurses ball that evening. She told Joe how nervous she was, not only about performing, but also about getting Joe's test results. Joe told her that he had just received word that the board had approved them both, and they would soon be starting a new life together. As Gaby headed out, she ran into Caleb. He said hello to her and, staring hard at him, she asked him if she knew him. He replied that she would soon know him very well. As Lucy was confirming the night's final details with Don, Kevin came to break the news to her that there had been a water main break at the hotel, and the room that the ball was to be held in was badly flooded. Lucy got hysterical as Kevin told her that almost everything, including her gowns, was underwater. After calling every possible place in town, Lucy was convinced that they would need to cancel the ball. Totally crushed, she went up on the roof to regroup. Kevin tried to remind her that for as long as he could remember some sort of catastrophe always seemed the plague the ball, but that she had always managed to pull it off, making each year's event bigger and better. Lucy disagreed with him and told him that this year it was over, but then she looked over at the landing pad, smiled and told Kevin that she had an idea that could make it happen after all! 

June 21- As the Nurses Ball continues, Lucy reminds her guests how miracles can happen with enough research and enough compassion. Down in the ER, Karen frantically searches among the many victims of the train and bus collision for her missing sister. During her singing debut, Gaby knocks some eyes out by suddenly going into a strip tease as an astonished Joe tries to put an end to the exhibition and Caleb watches approvingly from the shadows.

Putting on a brave front to hide her own fears, Lucy returns to her emcee duties to introduce the next number.

Insisting he did not kill Zach, Jack warns her to leave him alone. Alison is touched when Jamal remembers their first date a year ago and surprises her with a present. Amazed by Gaby's striptease performance at the ball, Joe escorts her home where he is astounded by her immense desire for him. Arranging for a gurney full of pizzas to be delivered to the ER, Lucy continues with the Nurses' Ball tradition and is embarrassed when her dress is suddenly torn from her, leaving her almost in her underwear. After savagely beating the thugs, a deranged Jack grabs Jamal when he arrives and throws him against a wall, knocking him out. Later, Jamal orders Alison to stay away from Jack. Tired of waiting for Jack at the bike shop, Livvie leaves and unexpectedly runs into Caleb who quickly convinces her to come away with him. After they make love, Joe complains about how rough she was. He's stunned when she announces that she has decided to stay in Port Charles and won't be going to Bounds Corner with him. Lucy shows Kevin the bullet she thinks hit Jack. 

June 25- Gaby tells a dismayed Joe she's changed her mind about leaving Port Charles to begin a new life with him. Worried about the bizarre changes in Jack's behavior, Jamal urges Alison to move in with her grandmother for a while. Jack grows violent with a startled Lucy after pushing his way into her house and demanding to see Livvie. Meanwhile, Caleb brings Livvie to his special place and instructs the dazed girl to think of him as her protector. Lucy find a bullet hole in Jack's jacket and realizes that the cop didn't miss his aim after all. Joe is baffled and hurt when Gaby suddenly announces that she's met someone new. Though Alison balks at leaving, Jamal warns her that Jack has become dangerous and can no longer be trusted. Lucy decides to hurry Jack down to the emergency room. Pulling Livvie into his arms, Caleb promises his "Olivia" that they will always be together. Finally yanking away from his embrace, Livvie declares that she loves only Jack and flees out into the night. 

June 26- Flustered by her latest close encounter with Caleb, Livvie returns home and tries to put the eerie stranger out of her mind. At the hospital, Karen reports to Lucy that her patient required a blood transfusion which resulted in an amazing change in Jack's condition. Ian and Eve head to the chapel in the woods to ask Michael to perform their wedding ceremony. Hearing a pounding in the cellar, they decide to investigate and are shocked to find the priest suffering from dehydration. Sam warns a skeptical Chris that Jack has become dangerous. After Michael explains how his brother locked him in, Eve places an urgent call to the local police. Jack tells Lucy he has a vague memory of being attacked amidst a scene of total carnage. Alison and Jamal attempt to make Livvie understand that her boyfriend has changed drastically. Michael refuses to press charges against his twin and orders Ian and Eve to leave him and Caleb alone. Growing hostile and violent when Chris tries to draw blood for more lab tests, Jack again displays superhuman strength as he races away from the hospital. Lucy asks Abe about his experience in the woods. Jamal and Alison tell their strange story to Dara, who scolds the teens for wasting her valuable time.

July 2- The candles are lit for a romantic evening with Gabriela who is lusting after Caleb. She remembers vividly her first encounter through a flashback. There is a knock at the door and she rushes to answer it only to find Joe there. She is disappointed to say the least. Joe is worried about Gabriela and how she is changing right before his very eyes. He can't believe that she is so convinced that this mystery man is Mr. Right after only meeting him once. Gabriela tells Joe that he must leave and while shoving him out the door she scratches him. Joe is stunned but keeps telling her that he loves her. Gaby, however, shouts for him to stop. Jamal and Alison try to revive Chris, who had been bitten by Jack! Jamal sees the teeth marks on Chris but Chris is thankful that he didn't break the skin. They question Chris as to what really happened there and Chris admitted that he tried to give Jack a sedative but that Jack wouldn't let him. Chris now knows that he must try and help Jack but he is unsure of what to do for him. Chris tells Alison and Jamal that they don't know how to handle Jack any better than he does. Later, Jamal heads to a supernatural bookstore and tells the clerk the story about Jack. He asks the clerk for a possible explanation for his friend's behavior. Jamal muses that it sounds like his friend is a zombie. The clerk replies that there's "no such thing" as a zombie; what he had described, though, sounded like a vampire. Jack tells Caleb to stay away from Livvie. Caleb tells him about the night he turned him into a vampire too. They show Caleb attacking Jack in the woods and sucking the blood from him. Caleb welcomes him to the family and reminds him the blood transfusion that he had and how he felt more alive after receiving it. Caleb tells Jack that he made him a vampire but Jack is understandably suspicious. Caleb also says that he wants to make Livvie his bride. Caleb tells Jack that he doesn't like the term killing but instead calls it "harvesting" to satisfy his hunger. He also tells him that his first kill will make his transformation complete. Livvie comes to and Alison and Jack help her to her feet while Caleb looks on but nobody can see him but Jack knows he is still there. Alison and Livvie leave but are not getting along because of Jack. Alison says she needs to get away from Jack for a while because that is what Jack ask for.

July 4- While enjoying a night alone, Lucy experienced a weird feeling and decided to consult her tarot cards for help. She uncovered the stranger card as well as a card about a baby boy. When she couldn't figure out what the connection was, she turned on the television to distract her. A telephone psychic was advertising her skills and Lucy kept it on to listen. She was stunned when she was able to predict exactly what Madame Alicia predicted. Her shock intensified when Madame Alicia said that she was connecting to someone and couldn't shake the image of a baby boy. At the cabin, Eve stroked her wedding dress and told Ian that she wished she didn't have to give it back to Michael. Ian suggested that she put it on one last time, but she decided to let her memories suffice. As she sat on his lap, she felt the baby move. Ian placed his hand on her belly and they laughed in delight when the baby kicked. Caleb returned to the monastery and flipped out when he saw that Olivia's wedding dress was gone. Michael explained that he had let Eve wear it when she married Ian. Caleb warned Michael that he would destroy Eve if he didn't have the dress back immediately. Michael hurried to the cabin and reluctantly asked Eve for the dress. He told them that the dress had special meaning for Caleb and Eve gave it back. When Michael left, Ian and Eve mused over Michael's strange relationship with Caleb. Uneasy about the potential danger, Ian suggested that they return to Port Charles. Jamal and Jack were reeling over the incontrovertible proof of Jack's condition. Jack's first concern was protecting Livvie from himself, from finding out the truth, and mostly, from Caleb. Livvie and Alison came in as Jack mentioned Caleb and she asked how Jack knew him. Jamal covered and said that he had told Jack about Caleb. Jamal and Alison left them alone to talk. Jack demanded that Livvie stay away from Caleb, but he didn't tell her why he was so adamant. Livvie promised to keep Caleb at a distance and refused to let Jack keep pushing her away. They made love, but Jack was clearly still disturbed by everything he knew about himself. Alison told Jamal that since the mystery with Jack was almost over, they should think about re-opening the bike shop because they lost a lot of money. Knowing the real truth, Jamal said he didn't think that was such a good idea. He told Alison that he wanted to spend more time with her, when in truth, he was afraid for her safety. 

July 5- Lucy told Kevin about her connection with Madame Alicia, and how the tarot cards kept revealing the stranger card followed by the baby boy card time after time. She even did it for Kevin, and the same two cards came up once again. She told him that she was going to meet with Madame Alicia to find out more. Kevin was paged with an emergency call and asked if she would stay with Livvie until he returned. With the stranger card in hand, Lucy went to answer a knock at the door. She opened it to find Caleb claiming that he was lost, asking to look at a map or use the phone. Lucy was very disturbed by Caleb's presence and quickly turned him away. Gaby was daydreaming about her recent visit with Caleb. When Karen and Frank tried to talk to her she bluntly told them to stay out of her affairs. In her rush to leave, Gaby bumped into another nurse, dropping the folder that she was carrying. As Frank bent down to help her pick up the contents he found a paper with Caleb's name written all over it. After Gaby left, Karen told Frank that her guess is that Gaby is keeping Caleb such a secret because he is probably married. Unable to get past Lucy, Caleb returned to Gaby for help in getting to Livvie. Caleb angrily warned Gaby not to continue to tell people about him. She told him that she was just telling Frank and Karen how special he made her feel. Caleb then began to charm Gaby and told her how bad he wanted to be with Livvie, and that she was going to help him. As Gaby went to Kevin's door to talk with Livvie, Caleb waited in the bushes. Ian and Eve returned to Port Charles, and invited Karen and Frank over to tell them their good news! Karen filled them in on what had been going on especially with Joe leaving town, and the mysterious new man in Gaby's life. Eve also concluded that he must be married since Gaby is keeping him such a secret. Sam went to the hospital to talk to Chris, sharing with him that she feared that she would be Jack's next victim. Chris warned her to stay away from Jack. When he suggested that she leave town she told him that she was broke, and asked Chris if he would help her out. Chris told her that maybe they could help each other. Jamal tried to talk to Jack about how that could protect Livvie from Caleb. With a wooden stake and mallet in hand Jack told Jamal that he was going to kill Caleb himself. Jamal warned Jack of the danger in that, but Jack was determined to stop Caleb at any cost. Jack knew that this meant that he would have to kill someone else first, and when Jamal asked who that was going to be Jack told him that he wasn't sure, but it would be someone who deserved it. As Jamal tried to keep Jack from leaving, Jack became angry and threw him against the wall knocking him out. Walking out into the alley Jack ran into Sam. Jack snickered and told Sam that he was just talking about her, and started walking towards her.

Livvie is drawn back to Caleb's lair. 

July 9- A vamped up Gaby slinks into a sleazy bar and talks tough to attract the attention of her next unwitting victim. Desperate to keep Livvie safe, Jack urges a horrified Jamal to put him out of his misery before he turns into a full-fledged vampire and harms the woman he loves. Meanwhile, in the cave, Livvie confides to Caleb how she's been unable to get him out of her mind despite the fact that everyone she knows has warned her to stay away. An agitated Jack admits to Jamal that he doesn't know how much longer he can control his overwhelming desire to kill. Caleb continues to sweet-talk Livvie, who feels dazed by the man's mesmerizing tone. After sinking her teeth into the man's neck, Gaby easily fends off her enraged companion's attempt to retaliate. Jamal and Jack plot their next move against Caleb and realize they must first find the fiend's special talisman. Caressing Livvie, Caleb gently encourages the girl to forget about Jack but she finally pulls away and insists she's not ready.

July 10- Cornered by Gaby and anxious to talk his way out of trouble, Jamal claims he came by to donate some blood. In the cave, Caleb boasts to Michael how Livvie came to see him once again. Meanwhile, Livvie admits to an agitated Jack that she went willingly to Caleb's lair. Worried that Eve's child may be in danger, Lucy arranges to meet Madame Alicia at the Recovery Room. Eve and Ian happily begin picking out names for their unborn son. After drawing blood from Jamal, Gaby eyes the donation hungrily. Jack warns Livvie that Caleb is pure evil. Madame Alicia advises Lucy to be patient and collect more data instead of acting in haste. Michael reminds his sneering twin that the unholy family he's planning to put together will only lead to another disaster. Turning a deaf ear to Michael's warning, Caleb insists that he will perpetuate the bloodline at all costs. Later, at the hospital, Gaby bumps into the priest and mistakes him for his brother. Jamal finally manages to get the stolen blood to Jack. Pleasantly surprised to see her new friend in Port Charles, Eve invites Michael to stay with her and Ian at the loft. 

July 11- Ian set a romantic candlelight dinner for Eve, but his mood was quickly spoiled when she came home, and Michael was with her. He was even more surprised to hear that he would be staying with them for a few days. Seeing that he was upset, Eve apologized for bringing him home without warning, but told Ian that Michael had helped her out when she really needed someone, and that she was just trying to do the same for him. Alone in his room, Michael looked around, locked the door and then pulled out a necklace. Holding it up, he whispered to himself that it was over for Caleb, and that the necklace would keep Eve and her baby safe. Eve was flattered when Michael gave her the necklace, but Ian was a little more skeptical. He asked Michael what that necklace represented and Eve quickly told him that it was his family's crest. Michael then told them that he gave it to Eve as a good luck charm too keep her and the baby safe from any dangers. Ian then asked Michael if Eve was in danger of his brother; Michael hesitated and then told him no. After Michael had gone to his room Ian told Eve of the reservations that he had about Michael, Caleb and the necklace, and that he wasn't very happy with the whole situation. Lucy set up an elaborate board of pictures, tarot cards and arrows to try to solve the mystery that has been going on in Port Charles. When Kevin arrived she was eager to share it with him. At first glance, Kevin was very confused by her pictures and arrows, and told her that she was jumping to conclusions; but as she began to explain each piece of the puzzle to him, he began to see how everything was linking together and to Lucy's surprise agreed with her. He then moved Livvie's picture to the middle of the board concluding that his daughter was right in the middle of everything. Livvie walked into Jacks room as Jack was finishing a bag of blood. In a panic, Jamal through a blanket over Livvie's head to give Jack time to put the back away. Furious with him, Livvie demanded to know what was going on, and why Jack and Jamal has so many secrets lately. Jamal tried to shrug it off as a joke, telling her that he was trying to ease the stress that they had all been under. Jack then grabbed Jamal's backpack and told Livvie that they where ready to go. Livvie asked Jack if leaving town was really the best solution. He assured her that it was the right thing to do, and that he also knew the perfect place to go. As Jack led Livvie into the monastery, she admired its beauty and asked Jack how he found a place like this. He told her that Jamal had told him that it was where Eve and Ian had gotten married, and how secluded it was. He told her that it was the perfect place to keep her safe. Alison also questioned Jamal about what had had just done to Livvie, and Jamal told her again, that he was just tried to lighten things up. They agreed that they had been under too much stress and would meet back at their apartment to spend a quiet, romantic evening alone. As soon as Alison left, Jamal pulled out his book on Vampires and began to read about. The book told him about a charm that would protect a person from a vampire. He looked at a picture of the charm and wondered where he could get one. Alison came back into the bike shop and snuck up on Jamal. Reading the title of his book, she made a few jokes about it and then asked him where he had gotten a book like that, and why he was reading it. He told her that it had been left by a customer and that he was just checking it out.

Ian explains to an skeptical Eve why he dislikes the way their house guest looks at her. Questioned by the police, Gaby admits meeting Garth but claims she knows nothing about his untimely demise.

Ian quietly asks Victor to run a background check on Father Michael. Livvie unwittingly saves Jack from a lethal attack by Caleb. 

July 13- Alison eagerly looks forward to a rare evening alone with Jamal but Jack's arrival with Livvie puts a damper on her plan. Lucy tells Kevin about the creepy stranger who came to the door of the lighthouse. Meanwhile, Caleb returns to Gaby's place and hisses at her to swear that she hasn't betrayed him.

Jack explains to an astounded Jamal how Caleb has made the old monastery into his headquarters. Gaby is startled to realize that the priest she encountered at General Hospital was Caleb's identical twin.
