March 5 - Lucy and Kevin spend the night together. Karen phones from Tennessee to check in on Frank and is pleased when he confides that she's been on his mind all evening. Maya secretly slips Morca into Ian and Eve's drinks to help them relive their past and to confirm their belief that they have loved one another throughout eternity. In their shared dream, the couple travels back in time and imagine themselves as an artist and his headstrong model in the Paris of the early 1800's. An irate neighbor complains to Lucy about Sigmund biting his dog but Kevin gets the worst of the argument when the man hauls off and punches him in the nose. Later, Lucy receives her divorce papers from Scott and admits to Kevin how much she regrets the way she's messed up her life for so long. Karen and Frank steam up the phone lines during a late night chat. Maya's husband warns her that she gave their guests too strong a dose of morca. Frank is puzzled when "Nellie" suddenly springs to life. 

March 6 - Arianna received a visit from the INS agent and covered when the woman questioned her as to Ian's whereabouts. Arianna claimed to know where Ian was and assured the agent that she and Ian were happily married and that he would be home soon. Nurse Kim Chris's spy and Estelle's nurse had given Chris an update on Livvie. She had pilfered a letter that Livvie had written. When Chris read it, he smiled and called a friend of his, the dean of the Port Charles medical school. He arranged to bring Livvie to the school and thanked his friend for the favor. Livvie went to the Alison's and Jamal's garage to see if she had left the letter there and she ran into Jack instead. Jack contended that she hadn't just been looking for a letter, she had also been looking for him. Frustrated by his taunts, Livvie slapped him, then pulled him into a long hot kiss. In Paris, Eve and Ian basked in their love for each other. Eve decided to leave her husband to be with Ian, but before she could, her husband walked in. Eve said she would go with him, but told Ian that she would always love him. Her husband declared the duo would never be together and he shot at them. Eve jumped in front of Ian and took the bullet for him. As she died in his arms, Ian vowed never to leave her. In the present time, Eve woke up, but Ian didn't. Maya believed that whatever Ian was experiencing in the past was keeping him there. She told Eve that there was a possibility Ian would never awaken, and Eve yelled trying to wake up Ian, But it was no use. Ian was still unconscious. 

March 7 - On the island, Maya tells an anxious Eve that wherever Ian is something powerful is holding him there. Meanwhile, in long-ago Paris, a grieving artist cradles the lifeless body of the woman he loves. Livvie haughtily informs Jack that his kiss meant absolutely nothing to her. Frank attaches a new monitor to "Nellie" in hopes of getting her hard drive humming. Arianna arrives and asks permission to redecorate the Scanlons' basement apartment in order to make the INS believe her story. Jack calls Livvie's bluff after catching her peeking at him through the window of the bike shop. Frank suggests to Arianna that she might want to make a fresh start in a home of her own. Eve tearfully begs Ian to come back, then is elated when her lover finally opens his eyes and smiles at her. Frank gives Arianna the keys to his old loft and invites her to make herself at home. Slyly employing his inside information, Chris scores points with Livvie by submitting her name to the pre-med program at PCU. As his guests prepare to 

March 8- Amanda comes to the bike shop with a peace offering for her wary granddaughter. Gabriela drops by the loft to deliver a belated wedding gift from the nurses and is surprised to find that an excited Arianna has already decorated the entire place with an eye to pleasing her man. Meanwhile, as they return to Port Charles, Ian reassures Eve that he'll soon have Arianna safely relocated in another town, leaving the way clear for the two of them to be together forever. Amanda invites Alison and Jamal to move into separate rooms in the west wing of her mansion. Irked with her granny's obvious attempt to manipulate her yet again, Alison angrily reminds Amanda that she will not allow anyone to run her life. Gabriela cautions a bristling Arianna to remember that her marriage is on paper only. Eve and Ian hastily invent a cover story when the INS agent again appears at the Scanlons' basement apartment with more questions about the Thornhearts' union. Later, Eve suggests to Ian that they keep his wife in the dark about their time together on the island. Tipped off by Joe, Ian heads to the loft to speak with Arianna and is startled when she greets him wearing a filmy negligee. 

March 9 - Tinkering again with the old computer, Frank is surprised to see a melancholy message appear on "Nellie's" monitor. Gabriela chides Joe for not warning her that Ian had the hots for Eve. Meanwhile, at the loft, Arianna explains to her husband why she changed their address during his absence. Eve inadvertently blurts out to Kevin the truth about Ian's marriage of convenience. Revealing how Ian saved her life on the island, Eve assures a wary Kevin that she's truly happy with her new man. Arianna can barely hide her disappointment when Ian pronounces their latest living arrangement the perfect cover for the INS. Joe advises Gaby to stop meddling in the triangle which is beginning to form around Ian and the two women in his life. Frank receives a sultry answer to his e-mail, then is puzzled when Karen tells him she never sent or received any messages. Kevin is slashed by the agitated wife of one of his patients. Eve's unscheduled arrival at the loft makes for an awkward moment. 

March 12 - At the bike shop, Jack finds himself smack dab in the middle of a lover's quarrel as Alison grouses at Jamal about his talk with her grandmother. Frank tries to determine who's been sending him messages via "Nellie". Arianna is annoyed to learn that Eve is back in Port Charles to stay. Though Jamal urges her to give Amanda a chance, Alison reminds him that her granny is a slippery character who will stop at nothing to pry them apart. Arianna angrily takes her husband to task for not letting her know how the INS agent spotted him with Eve in the basement apartment. Later, out of Ian's earshot, Arianna demands that Eve reveal her true agenda. Karen suggests to Frank that someone with a major crush has been sending him those cryptic e-mails. Jack advises Alison and Jamal not to let their petty squabbles ruin a fabulous relationship. Fed up with Eve's excuses, Arianna screeches at her rival to leave her and Ian alone from now on. Alison smells a familiar rat after a city building inspector threatens to close down Jamal's shop for code violations. Eve warns Ian that his wife has fallen in love with him. 

March 13 - With just 48 hours to fix the building code violations, Alison, Jack and Jamal scramble to get the bike shop up to speed. Though Ian scoffs at her concerns, Eve insists that Arianna's main fear is not deportation by the INS but losing the man she loves to another woman. Though Alison decides to expose Amanda's misdeeds by taking a certain audio tape to the media, Jamal firmly vetoes her idea. Kevin explains to Lucy why he missed their dinner date and how his hand was cut by the irate wife of a patient. Later, Lucy applauds her lover's choice when Kevin reveals how he's agreed to head up a kind of "psychiatric SWAT team" for the police department. Ian tells Eve he's working on a way to give his wife a new identity to keep her safe in some town far from Port Charles. Meanwhile, a heartbroken Arianna weeps alone on the docks. Jack is forced to referee another spat between Alison and Jamal. Gaby cautions Ian that Arianna has developed some genuine feelings for him which go way beyond play-acting for the Immigration service. Approached by a stranger, Arianna becomes completely hysterical and begins flailing her arms at the startled man. 

March 14 - Eve heads to the lighthouse to seek help from her estranged husband and is peeved when a half-dressed Lucy answers the door. Ian rushes to the hospital upon learning that his wife has been admitted. Explaining how Arianna attacked a fisherman on the docks, Kevin icily suggests to Ian that his track record with women seems to be getting even worse. Grateful for the way Jack played Cupid for herself and Jamal, Alison urges Livvie to give her former boyfriend a second chance. At the Recovery Room, Chris taunts a fuming Frank about his renewed interest in his brother's old flame. Later, as Chris starts to coach her for her med school interview, Livvie finds herself daydreaming about Jack instead of listening to her self-appointed mentor. Alison begins to lose hope that Jamal will ever be able to open the bike shop. Chris intercepts a call from Karen and deliberately neglects to let Frank know about her plans to come home early. Lucy offers a sympathetic shoulder to a tearful Eve. Following an aborted attempt to counsel a traumatized Arianna, Kevin warns Ian that his wife is in serious trouble.

March 15 - Karen returns home from Memphis and tells Eve she's especially eager to hook up with Frank. Meanwhile, Frank continues to receive peculiar messages via "Nellie". Arianna shakily explains to Ian how devastating an effect the rape had on her entire life. Eve confides to Karen her fear that Ian's wife will never release her hold on him. After Ian gently encourages her to open up, a sobbing Arianna finally reveals how one of her brother's friends brutalized her. Later, as Ian's kind and soothing words give Arianna comfort, her love for him intensifies. Though deeply troubled by the chief's parting words, Eve clings to a desperate hope that she and Ian will find a way to overcome all obstacles to their love. Karen hurries to the Scanlons' garage and is disappointed to find Nellie all alone. 

March 16 - Unaware that Karen has returned ahead of schedule, Frank brings his date back to the garage to meet "Nellie". With a midnight deadline looming, Jack, Jamal and Alison work feverishly to whittle down the long list of code violations. As Livvie arrives to lend a hand, Alison sprains her ankle and reluctantly agrees to let Jamal take her to the ER. Ian phones Eve at the hospital to assure her how much he yearns to be with her. Entering the garage alone, Frank smothers Karen with kisses. Afterwards, he explains how he asked one of his waitresses out but couldn't follow through because he realized that Karen was the only woman he wanted. Ian tells Eve how traumatized his wife became after she disclosed details of the rape. A computer specialist arrives to take a look at "Nellie" and archly informs Frank that it's impossible for him to be receiving e-mail messages on such an old machine. When Arianna gushes about how he is the first man whose touch she craves, Ian gently reminds his wife that their union is one of convenience alone. 

March 19 - Returning to the bike shop, Alison and Jamal are delighted to find a whole crew of friends working to bring the place up to code. Frank catches a glimpse of another message on "Nellie's" monitor just before Karen accidentally unplugs the computer. At the ER, Eve treats a woman who slashed her wrists after her husband asked her for a divorce. Meanwhile, Arianna stubbornly repeats to Ian her assertion that she loves him and will never leave him. During a brief break for the work party, Mary passes out glasses of green beer and raises a toast to the luck of the Irish in saving the bike shop from extinction. Troy quietly admits to Eve that his marriage has actually been over for years but he feels too guilty to leave his troubled wife now.

Joe and Gabriela celebrate upon learning that they've been selected to represent GH at an HIV conference in London. Livvie tells Jack she feels out of control whenever they're together. As Troy reluctantly promises to stay with Stacy, Eve fears that the young couple's case closely mirrors Ian's dilemma.

At the loft, an INS agent interrogates an annoyed Ian about his island interlude with Dr. Lambert. Chris and Eve raise a toast to the concept of hardening their hearts against falling in love. Though surprised to learn the details of Ian's trip, Arianna pretends she knew all about her husband crossing paths with Eve while she lay ill in the chief's hut. Ian shows the suspicious agent a stack of photos depicting his happy marriage. After the woman leaves, Arianna weeps to realize that Ian needed a cheat sheet to remember the color of his wife's eyes. Jamal warns Jack to keep his distance from sexy Sam and her troublesome friends. Arianna sadly tells Ian she'll let him go and will leave Port Charles. Following several rounds of martinis, Chris suggests to an intoxicated Eve that they go to bed together.

Eager to prove that he hasn't been imagining things, Frank rushes to get Karen but the monitor goes blank the minute she enters the garage.

As she sobers up, Eve shudders to realize how close she came to sleeping with Chris. Ben is outraged to learn that he was duped by Ian and Joe. 

March 26 - Karen reluctantly sent a message through Nellie and was very surprised when she got a response. She found that there was a person on the other side of Nellie only her name was Cookie. Cookie told Karen that she was in high school and that her dad would kill her if he found out that she was using his machine. Joe and Gabriela were about to enjoy their stay in London when Gabriela ran into Ben at the front desk. Ben jumped all over Gabriela when he recognized her from Port Charles while she accused him of being a murderer. Ben dismissed her accusations and showed her the article about Joe in the paper. Since Joe was busy finding fellow speakers to critique his speech, Gabriela pretended that Joe was dead. She told Ben that Joe had been scheduled to speak before his death and that the article was only a mistake on the part of the committee. For the moment, Ben seemed to accept her story and left, but not before threatening Gabriela and telling her to keep quiet about seeing him there. Karen was chatting with Cookie about school when Frank walked in. He was so relieved to find that Karen didn't think he was crazy anymore. Karen explained that she should have trusted him, but that she may have been pushing him away just because everything was going so well and she didn't want to get hurt. Unknown to Karen was that Cookie wore a gold heart necklace very much like the one that she was wearing. In the middle of their conversation, Cookie was interrupted by her father, who angrily told her to stay away from the computer and shut it off. Eve told Ian about her drunken evening with Chris in an effort to explain why she was soaking wet. She left out the part about Chris and her almost sleeping together. Overjoyed that Ian's marriage would be over soon, Ian and Eve were going to stay together, but they decided that it would probably be better if he leave just in case the INS were watching. But, before he could get out the door, they caved and fell onto the bed. It wasn't long before there was a knock on Eve's hotel room door. Being cautious, Ian hid while Eve opened the door. The visitor was a hotel employee delivering a package that evidently came from the island that Eve and Ian had visited. The package was from Mya and contained a statue and a note. The note explained that she had sent the statue of a couple so that it would watch over Eve and Ian's love. Eve was reassured that her and Ian would work out just fine. Eve got ready to leave her hotel room and set the statue on a table near an open window. Shortly after she left, the breeze from the window knocked the statue off of the table separating the two figures in it. Gabriela filled Joe in about her visit with Ben. Joe quickly called Ian to let him know about the encounter with Ben. Then, Joe and Gabriela hurried to get out of the hotel, but hidden behind a newspaper, Ben was watching. 

March 27 - Lucy and Kevin returned from another wild motorcycle ride. Shortly after, Lucy told Kevin how great it was that Alison had talked him into buying the bike. With the mention of Alison, Kevin's mind shifted towards Livvie. He expressed how concerned he was that Chris was going to hurt her. Immediately, Lucy started to come up with sneaky ideas of how to get Chris away from Livvie. Kevin tried to tell her that they needed to let Livvie do this on her own, but Lucy wasn't listening. From the on call room, Chris called Kim and told her to poke around Livvie's bedroom to see if there was a diary. He said that he was ready to step things up and get into her heart. Just then, Eve walked in. Acknowledging the awkward situation, Eve tried to stop Chris from ridiculing her, thanked him for not taking advantage of her and made him promise not to tell anyone what almost happened. She told him that he was a good guy underneath and that she knew he wouldn't hurt a woman intentionally. Sensing the reference to Livvie, Chris defended himself by explaining that he was taking it slow with Livvie and that he would never hurt her. Alison tried to put her two cents in with Livvie, but Livvie wouldn't listen. She told Alison that she was going to see what was there with Chris, this time for real. Alison did her best to remind Livvie of how she feels around Jack. It seemed that Livvie was trying to make herself care about Chris and Alison told her that wasn't how it should be. Still, Livvie defended Chris because he was the only one who had been there for her since the beginning. Victor and Ian discussed the plans to put Arianna in hiding. Since all of the plans were in order, they broke the news to Arianna that she would be leaving sooner than planned, but left out the part about Ben being a possible threat again. Ben was on a jet on his way to Port Charles with an article in hand about Joe and Gabriela's safe return to Port Charles. Kevin decided that Lucy was right and Chris needed to be dealt with. Kevin even insinuated that they should have someone "get rid" of Chris so that Livvie would be protected. Lucy was surprised at Kevin's reference to violence. Then, with serious face, Kevin was getting excited about the possibility that Livvie would be safe with just one phone call. Lucy was really disturbed now so she started to talk him out of it. Kevin was disappointed and asked if Lucy would prefer he do nothing. Faced with the alternative, Lucy decided nothing was the best choice. With Kevin's smirk, Lucy knew that he had been scamming her in order to prove that the best thing to do was to not interfere in Livvie's life. With her fingers crossed, Lucy agreed that he was right and they should do nothing. Alone with Ian, Arianna demanded to know if her hasty departure had been arranged because he wanted to be with Eve as soon as possible. Standing his ground, Ian still didn't tell her about Ben, but insisted that he was only doing this so that she would be safe as soon as possible. Chris was on the phone with Kim who had found Livvie's diary when Livvie found him still in the on call room. She apologized for the way that she had been treating him. Chris explained that she shouldn't be so worried, but she insisted that she had been terrible to him while he had been nothing but nice. Livvie promised that she would make it up to him and sealed it with a kiss. Alone with Arianna, Alison took the opportunity to welcome Arianna to Port Charles. She stressed how wonderful the people were and what a great place PC would be to raise children. Upset, Arianna quickly got up and told Ian that she was on her way home. Eve followed her out. Outside, Eve reminded Arianna that Ian was doing all of this to protect her. Eve told Arianna that she thought she was a brave woman and wished her a long, happy life. Meanwhile, Ben was landing in Port Charles.

Later, Lucy fumes to see Chris sneaking another peek into Livvie's private journal. Jack tells Kevin how much he regrets trying to use Livvie to get back at his big brother. Lucy issues a warning to Chris, who merely laughs at her thinly veiled threats.

As Kevin catches Lucy breaking and entering, Chris returns home early with Livvie.

Ian explains to a disappointed Arianna why she can't say goodbye to anyone before she disappears.

Meanwhile, Ben slips into General Hospital and quietly ascertains Eve's whereabouts. Kevin and Lucy scramble to find a hiding place as Chris and Livvie return to the penthouse ahead of schedule. Ian cautions Arianna that she cannot take along any memento of their time together. Livvie is thrilled when Chris presents her with two tickets for a romantic trip to Paris. Watching from out on the ledge, an outraged Lucy shows Kevin the entry his daughter made in her journal about her lifelong dream of visiting the most romantic city in the world. Anxious to prevent Livvie from sleeping with her slimy Lothario, Kevin sets off the smoke alarm while Lucy plants the diary in Chris' living room. Frank treats Karen to the dream date she never got to enjoy back in high school. Eve is shaken to find Maya's special gift broken in two. Livvie demands some answers after stumbling over her journal hidden in Chris' desk drawer. 

March 30 - As a beaming Karen thanks Frank for a wonderful evening, a new and urgent message from Cookie appears on "Nellie's" monitor. Though Chris claims he has no idea how the diary wound up in his apartment, Livvie furiously accuses him of spying on her all along. Ian regretfully forces Arianna to throw away every memento of their time together. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Ben sneaks into the on-call room and prepares to strangle Eve but a timely interruption saves the unwitting doctor from being attacked. Cookie tells a sympathetic Karen and Frank how unhappy her home life has been in recent months and how desperate she is to escape. Guessing that Kim must have been acting as Chris' inside source, Livvie berates her "mentor" for his despicable behavior. After Ian leaves for his shift at the hospital, Arianna decides to retrieve some of their photographs from the trash dumpster. Cookie is revealed to be living in the year 1973.

He told her that he could help her better knowing that she lived in the same town. Frank asked Cookie for her phone number so that he could give it to Kevin and she could have someone to talk to.

While Chris was examining Arianna, Denise asked him about the rumors she had heard of Ben's death. Not knowing that Arianna was awake, Chris confirmed the rumors of Ben's fall and said that he thought that such a quick death was too good for him. Arianna opened her eyes and asked what he meant. Chris told her that her brother was dead and she replied by saying that she would soon join him. Lucy and Serena packed for a big trip into New York City. Lucy was worried about leaving Kevin home alone because he was so upset about everything that had happened with Ben and Arianna. Kevin assured her that he would be fine. While Frank was telling Cookie that drinking wouldn't solve her problems, Karen walked in. Karen was furious to find Frank still using the computer. She changed the subject and told Frank about her aunt, but couldn't hold his attention because he was too distracted by Cookie. Karen became even more angry and decided that since it was her computer she had the right to shut it down. Frank couldn't believe that Karen wanted to stop her from helping Cookie, but before they could finish their argument, she was called to the hospital. Chris interrupted Ian and Eve and filled them in on what had happened in Arianna's room. Ian was absolutely furious with Chris for telling Arianna about Ben in her condition. Chris tried to explain that it was an accident, but Ian was in a world of his own. Ian rushed in to see Arianna who was relieved when he confirmed that she was in no danger anymore. He showed her the scrapbook and told her that she would be able to fill it with as many memories of Port Charles as she wanted. With Eve looking on, Ian promised that he would make sure that Arianna got the life that she deserved. Kevin got a phone call from the hospital asking him to meet Alan Quartermaine and was told that he would know what it was about. Kevin told Lucy that he had to go deal with a patient and wished her and Serena well on their trip. 

APRIL 10 - Jack and Livvie spend a blissful night making love next to their campfire by the river. Eve suggests to Ian that his wife may be suffering more from the emotional trauma of the attack rather than her actual wounds. Meanwhile, a reporter sneaks into Arianna's room and presses her for details about her brother's demise. As Eve watches in alarm, Ian attacks the intruder and savagely punches him out. Startled to learn that an international incident is brewing, Alan receives notice from the State Department that GH is being sued for Ben's death. Ian asks Colleen to stay with Arianna until he can arrange for 24 hour protection. Watching Ian get worked up time and time again, Eve worries that her lover is teetering on the brink. Alan warns Kevin that he's about to become the focus of a lawsuit brought by the Shapour family. Karen confides to Eve how foolish she feels about the way she overreacted to Frank's obsession with Cookie. Arianna's lab tests reveal that she will die unless she receives a liver transplant.

APRIL 12 - Upset that he wants to take Arianna out of the hospital, Eve tries to convince Ian to listen to her professional opinion. However, the more she argues, the more he resents it and eventually accuses her of wanting Arianna to die. Outraged, she slaps him and then runs to Chris to seek a second opinion. Chris agrees with both Eve and Karen about moving Arianna. Frank returns to the room with the ripped apart computer to throw it away and is shocked to find Nellie has somehow sent him another message. He types on the keyboard and is shocked when Cookie responds. Worried, he asks her to meet him at Kelly's and then runs to tell Karen. Frank shakily reveals to an astounded Karen that he's still receiving messages from Cookie despite the fact that he ripped out all of "Nellie's" innards. Worried about Cookie's drinking, Frank tells Karen he's arranged to meet the girl that night at Kelly's. She tries to convince him to forget about Cookie and when that fails to change his mind, states that she wants nothing to do with him if he meets with what could be a dangerous woman. Eve places a call to Alan. Alison is touched when she checks on Amanda who has suffered a very mild heart attack. She's surprised later to receive a key meant only for her.

An excited Cookie prepares to meet her new friend. In the hospital chapel, Ian prays for guidance as he wonders if he's made the right decision. Frank encourages a reluctant Karen to accompany him to Kelly's so they can both help a young girl in need. Though sympathetic to his colleague's plight, Alan urges Ian to think very carefully before he rejects the idea of using the new drug on his dying wife. Later, Ian surprises Eve when he agrees that the experimental protocol she's been promoting is indeed Arianna's best chance for survival. Alison's mysterious key leads her to a post office box which contains a bag full of cash. After Eve administers the drug, Arianna suddenly goes into convulsions and suffers cardiac arrest.

Karen is appalled to realize that her mother has fallen off the wagon yet again. Apologizing for her slip, Rhonda explains how memories of Carolyn made her too melancholy to resist the lure of the bottle.

Later, an unhappy Eve confides to Ian how she can't stop wishing that Arianna had never come to town. Lucy secretly begins arranging for Kevin's divorce.

Meanwhile, Cookie confides to a friend named Scott how she seems to be communicating with a man from the future.

Jamal warns his uninvited guest to keep his distance from Alison but Zach reminds him that payment is now due. Frank relates his amazing story to a friendly bartender. Karen explains to Eve why she fears the drugs administered during and after surgery would refuel her addiction and destroy her life. Jamal furiously accuses Jack of setting Alison up. After the bartender scoffs at his wild tale, Frank realizes what a hard sell Cookie's story will be.

Frank returns to the garage and is astonished to see a message from "Nellie" herself on the computer's screen.

Karen walks into the Scanlons' garage and is astonished to find Frank hollering at the old computer. Eve reluctantly keeps mum as Ian, Chris and Joe argue about the chances of finding Arianna a liver donor in time. Frank's bizarre explanation about communicating with the past only serves to annoy Karen, who angrily assumes that her boyfriend is drunk.

Touched to learn that Eve volunteered to be her donor, Arianna assures her she's ready to face the inevitable. Alison presses Jack to spill whatever secret he and Jamal have been keeping. Jamal tells Zach he will race for him again on the provision that he'll leave Alison alone. Ian attempts to convince his ailing wife that a liver donor will appear in time to save her life, but Arianna insists she's prepared to die. Meanwhile, Karen heads to the hospital to give the Thornharts some good news. Frank finally persuades Cookie to stay home. Chris follows an agitated Eve into a bar and suggests that she cool down instead of drowning her sorrows. Unaware of the far-reaching consequences of his "good deed," Frank breathes a sigh of relief to think that he's saved Cookie from a lifetime of regret. Arianna asks Ian to take her home to die. Chris drops a bombshell on Eve when he informs her that she's pregnant. Frank is stunned to find no trace of Karen and no one who remembers her.

Recalling how she was communicating with some guy on her dad's computer, Rhonda is startled when Frank repeats verbatim the messages they exchanged in 1973. Kevin steels himself for an evening of small talk with Jack while Lucy tries to keep the mood light during their dinner with Livvie and her beau. Summoned by Ian's urgent call, the chief arrives in Port Charles and tells Arianna he feels her life spirit still strong deep within her ailing body. Frank brings Rhonda back to his garage to show her "Nellie" but discovers that the computer has vanished.

May 2 - Ian continues to make Arianna comfortable, and she tells him how nice it is to be back home. Chris accompanies Eve to her doctor's appointment. Eve introduces herself as "Eve Miller", and Chris pretends to be her husband. Eve admits to Chris that this was not the way she had planned - that she and Ian should be celebrating this day instead of her having to use a false name at an out-of-town doctor. Joe talks to Kevin about his concerns with Frank's behavior and obsession with "Karen Wexler". As they are talking Joe receives a phone call from Rhonda asking him to come and get Frank who has just broken into her house and is ranting about needing to find Karen. Against Rhonda's wishes, Frank goes downstairs and finds the computer in her father's den. The calendar on the wall still reflects April 1973 and the flyer for the high school dance is still on the desk. Frantically, Frank tries to get the computer to work as Kevin comes down to talk to him, trying to get him to leave before Rhonda calls the police. Lucy goes to the loft to take Ian some hospital information and is very surprised when the chief answers the door.

May 4 - Kevin spoke to Rhonda to ascertain whether or not there really was a Karen Wexler. Rhonda insisted that Frank was crazy and that she didn't have a daughter. Ian overheard Kevin and asked if there was even the slightest chance that Karen really did exist. Kevin found out from Victor that there were no records anywhere of Karen. Frank ran from everyone because he knew they believed he was crazy. He remained determined to not only find evidence of Karen's life, but to return her to the present time. Ian found him in the park and asked for information about Karen. Frank recounted the whole story again, but Ian didn't believe it. When Frank mentioned something that only Eve, Ian, and Karen could know, Ian realized Frank could be telling the truth. Livvie and Alison commanded Jack to tell them where Jamal was and what was going on. Jack hemmed and hawed and tried not to tell them anything. A customer came in talking about the motorcycle races and Alison figured out that Jamal was racing. They all rushed to the track just as Jamal was crossing the winning line. Alison pulled him away from Zach and Sam and demanded to know why he was racing again. Eve attempted to tell Ian about the baby, but a series of interruptions prevented her from doing so. She finally gave up and made up a story that he believed. Chris chastised her for not telling Ian the truth, but Eve didn't feel that the time was right. She told Chris that whether or not Ian was a part of her life didn't matter. She was prepared to raise and love her child on her own. Chris told her that she didn't have to do that because he was willing to help her. He asked her if she would consider marrying him. 

May 7 - A steaming Alison angrily confronts Jamal at the motocross track. Eve is caught off guard by a sudden marriage proposal from Chris, who promises he'll be a good father to her unborn child. Ian admits to Frank that he's having a hard time believing his wild tale about accidentally altering the past. When Frank continues to insist that his story is all too true, Ian decides to take him to the chief. Stunned when Jamal explains how Zach set her up, Alison is upset to realize how her blunder almost endangered the man she loves. Though Eve balks at his suggestion, Chris urges her to carefully consider all the advantages of a union with him. After Frank reveals how he tampered with the past, the chief proposes that he travel back through time to put things right. When Zach orders him to race again, Jamal threatens to turn a certain incriminating tape over to the cops unless he backs off. 

May 8 - Eve fantasized about marrying Chris and raising her child with him. In every fantasy, she was happy and so was Chris, but Ian kept popping up and ruining things. The dreams made her realize that she needed more time to sort out her feelings. She left a message for Chris telling him that she was still thinking about his proposal and was leaving town to do so. Ian was torn between wanting to believe in Frank and not understanding how the situation could be possible. As he drank a dram of whiskey, he had a vision of his sister Granya. Granya advised Ian to have faith in what was in his heart and trust himself. She also told him that there was no shame in wanting Arianna to be saved so that he and Eve could be together. Frank and Ian convinced the chief to give Frank the morca root that would allow him to travel back in time and fix the things he messed up. The chief told Frank that the herb would allow his spirit to travel, but to the outside observer, he would appear to be in a coma-like state. Knowing that his family and Joe in particular would flip out if they saw him like that, Frank decided to take the herb at Ian's house. He went to see his family to tell them that he no longer believed that Karen existed and he was going away to get some much needed rest. Everyone but Lucy and Kevin bought his story. Lucy urged Frank to give her the picture that Kevin drew of Karen, but Frank lied and said he threw it away. Lucy and Kevin privately agreed that they knew Frank wasn't telling the truth. Frank said a special goodbye to Mary and then wrote a letter for Neil in case he didn't return from his travels. 

May 9 - Kevin spent the entire night in his office trying to recreate the picture of Karen as he assesses the whole situation. He then goes to Frank's house to talk with him. Frank tells Kevin that he is on his way to the airport. Kevin begins to question him about the trip, even asking if he could come along, hoping that Frank would tell him where he was really going. Kevin finally shows Frank the second picture of Karen and Frank was surprised that Kevin could recreate another. He said that he was able because Frank's description was so deep and sincere that it stuck with him. Frank confided that he was going to search for Karen, but didn't tell him how. Kevin wished him luck and made him promise that he would call him first if he needed anything. As Eve prepared to leave town, Chris called to question her trip. She assured him that she was considering his proposal but just needed some time alone to think everything over. She didn't get very far before a flat tire stopped her. She starts to change it herself, but is afraid to take a chance and calls for assistance. On his way to the airport to pick up the herbs for Frank, Ian sees Eve and stops. Surprised that she wasn't changing the tire herself, Ian offers to help her. As he tightens the last bolt, the wrench slips and cuts his hand. Eve takes a look at his hand and they begin to embrace but she quickly pulls away telling him that she had to go. She begs him to come with her and almost slips about the baby. Upset, Eve gets in her car and Ian watches her drive away. Chris finds the perfect, one-of-a-kind engagement ring for Eve! 

May 10 - Joe cornered Kevin to ask him if he thought that Frank was really stable enough to be alone in Alaska. Kevin assured Joe that Frank would be fine and convinced him to just give his brother time and space. Lucy told Kevin that she found out that Frank had never boarded the plane to Alaska. She was stunned and elated when Kevin revealed that he believed Frank and had encouraged him to look for Karen. Kevin showed Lucy the picture her drew of Karen and Lucy noted that Karen seemed very familiar to her. Sketch in hand, Kevin went to see Rhonda in her hospital room. Eve arrived at the cabin where she and Ian first realized their love for each other. She was determined to use the time to think about Chris's proposal and the life she wanted to make for her baby. Alison and Jamal entered their apartment to find the place ransacked. Jamal and Jack immediately figured out that Zach and his gang had been looking for the tape of Zach's confession. Jamal found the tape and told his friends of his plan to use it against Zach. Alison wanted Jamal to take the tape directly to the police or at least his cousin Dara. Jamal didn't have enough faith that the police would help him, but he agreed to talk to Dara. They listened to the tape to make sure the confession was good enough. Initially, they heard Zach talking, but then music started playing. At the same time that they were listening to the tape, Zach was listening to a copy he made and he smirked when the music played instead of his confession. A weakened Arianna confessed to Ian that she felt her time of death was near. Ian urged her to fight for her life and not give up. He told her that Frank was trying to find someone who was a perfect donor and asked Arianna to try and hold on until Frank returned. As the chief prepared the morca root for Frank, he had a few strong warnings. He told Frank not to tamper with anything other than getting Karen back. He knew that Frank would be tempted to change many other things, but if Frank did this, it could have dire consequences. Frank promised to only make certain that Karen was born and do nothing else. As he took the morca root and focused on Karen, he opened his eyes to find himself in a park. A newspaper on a bench revealed the date as being 1973. Frank had successfully travelled through time. 

May 11 - As Jamal played the tape that was supposed to have Zach's confession on it, music started playing instead. Livvie realized that she had accidentally taped ch while taping some music. Jamal lamented that he didn't have proof of Zach's corruption. Zach and Sam came to talk to Jamal and gloat that he had nothing on them. He forced Jamal into agreeing to race for him, much to Alison's dismay. Eve settled into the cabin and tried to relax enough to think. When memories of her time with Ian overwhelmed her, she went for a walk in the woods. She got lost and tried not to panic when she heard a strange noise. She discovered that the noise came from a handsome stranger chopping wood. Kevin visited Rhonda in her hospital room to ask her more questions about Frank and Karen. Rhonda refused to talk about it and especially didn't want to talk about the computer. Kevin's suspicions grew when she said the computer had caused her nothing but trouble. Kevin stopped her from leaving the room and the picture she was holding of herself and Carolyn fell to the floor. Kevin picked it up and compared it to the sketch he drew of Karen. He looked up at Rhonda in shock. Frank safely arrived in 1973 and read the paper in the park to get caught up on what was going on. As he sat on the bench, a little boy ran up to him. Frank stared at him in stunned recognition as he realized he was looking at himself as a child. Soon, the boy's mother came to retrieve her son and Frank looked into the eyes of his mother. Mary was pregnant with Joe and obviously didn't recognize Frank, but she was very friendly toward him. He initially asked her to have coffee with him, but he rescinded the offer when she said she was on her way to apply for a job at GH. He was afraid that he might accidentally change something in the future if he detained her. She directed him to the Wexler household and Frank watched as Carolyn, who was the spitting image of Karen, came out of the house. 

May 14 - Shocked by the drawing Kevin made of her "imaginary" daughter, Rhonda wonders how Frank could have described Carolyn so exactly without ever having met her. Meanwhile, in 1973, Frank trails Carolyn into Kelly's and stares openly at the familiar face. Eve encounters a man chopping wood in the middle of the forest. Introducing himself as Michael, the stranger offers to help Eve find her way back to the Johnson cabin but she nervously insists she'll be fine on her own. Kevin asks Gail to look in on an agitated Rhonda. Frank approaches Carolyn with questions about her sister but she firmly informs him that Cookie is way too young to be of any interest to a man his age. Wandering aimlessly in the woods, Eve becomes lost once again. Kevin and Lucy do some snooping through the hospital records and manage to unearth a file on Carolyn Wexler. Overhearing Carolyn making plans to join some friends for a movie downtown, Frank is flustered to realize that the girl is heading straight into the accident which will prove fatal to her. After walking in circles for more than an hour, Eve finally reaches the cabin and discovers Michael waiting for her there. 

May 15 - Granya pays another visit to the loft and pesters her irritated brother to explain the odd choices he's made.

May 16 - Kevin and Lucy continue to try to find information to back up what they found in Carolyn's file. They go over to Mary's to see if she has any information about the Wexler Family and Carolyn's accident. Looking for a logical explanation, Kevin was hoping that maybe Frank remembered or possibly saw Carolyn being hit by the car and the memory has stayed with him causing his delusions of Karen. Mary told them that Frank was too small to remember her accident. After hearing that Lucy continued to insists that she is right. She and Kevin then break into Rhonda's house to look for more answers. Lucy is amazed as she enters the basement and finds everything set to 1973. Lucy then plugs in the computer and it comes on. She types in a message, and as she waits for a reply, she spots a Port Charles yearbook for 1973.

May 17 - Miserable in the cold cabin, Eve called Chris to see what he was up to. He was thrilled to hear from her and instantly hoped it meant she was considering saying yes to his proposal. Eve told him that she still hadn't made a decision, but they enjoyed a lighthearted conversation anyway. Chris was especially pleased when Eve said she was coming home and promised to talk to him once she got there. Eve packed her things and was prepared to leave when she encountered Michael outside of the cabin. He had brought her some fresh fruits and vegetables in gratitude for her tending to his wounds. Eve decided to make a meal of his gift and invited him inside. At the Recovery Room, Chris glowed from his conversation with Eve and held up the engagement ring that he had purchased for her. Ian saw him with the ring and wondered who the unfortunate woman in Chris's life was. When Chris earnestly spoke of his love for the mystery woman, Ian apologized for his remarks and wished Chris the best. Chris couldn't help but say how much he was sure that Ian would love his lady. After getting Arianna's meds from Gaby, Ian asked her if she had heard from Eve. Gaby hadn't, but promised to let Ian know if she did. Before going home, Ian had a glass of whiskey and gave a private and poignant toast to Eve. Harry was furious to find Cookie and Frank alone in the basement. He accused Cookie of being responsible for Carolyn's death. He alluded to the fact that she was also responsible for her mother's death. Cookie guessed that her father wished that she had died instead of Carolyn. Frank tried to defend her to Harry and Cookie cried in his arms. As Harry yelled at them both, Mary came in having brought dinner for Cookie and Harry. She took Frank out of the house with her. Harry slapped Cookie across the face for causing him such grief. He later wheeled in a computer that he had built and Cookie realized it was the one Frank was telling her about. Mary took Frank back to her house and he reeled from the knowledge that he was talking to his own mother and couldn't tell her. She comforted him about his argument with Harry and remarked at his extraordinary sensitivity. Frank became lost in memories of Karen and remained more determined than ever to fix the past and restore Karen to his life.

May 21 - Livvie sends out a frantic SOS to Jamal and Alison after Jack vanishes during their camping trip. Startled to discover that Michael is a priest, Eve feels suddenly awkward around her new acquaintance. Lucy convinces Kevin that their next move should be to consult with the chief. As he monitors Frank's vital signs, Ian detects a drop in the heart rate which the chief ascribes to some disturbance occurring back in the past.

Using information he gleaned during their computer chats, Frank manages to convince Cookie she can trust him. 

May 23 - As Eve returned to the cabin, she was very surprised to find Chris sitting on the couch waiting for her. He questioned where she had been all morning and she told him about her conversation with Michael, and how he had helped her to reach some decisions about her life. She told Chris how much she appreciated his support and proposal, and how she even daydreamed about the life they may have together, but she just couldn't marry him. They have a lighthearted conversation about what might have been and Chris wished her luck as he left the cabin smiling. Once on the outside, he took the ring he had bought for Eve out of his pocket and sadly gazed at it. The Chief, Ian and Lucy tried to calm Kevin's increasing worry over Frank's condition. The Chief warned Ian that any other drug intervention could jeopardize Frank's ability to come back to the present. Under pressure from Kevin, Ian began to give Frank another drug, but was interrupted by Arianna. Her condition had worsened and Ian needed to rush her back to the hospital. Kevin and Lucy stayed to take care of Frank, and Kevin began to panic when his blood pressure dropped very low. Back in 1973, Frank frantically tried to find the chip that would disable Nellie for good, growing weaker as he worked. He then saw an image of Karen telling him that it wasn't worth dying for, and that he needed to go back. Thinking that it was not real he ignored her plea and kept working on Nellie. He heard Cookie and her Father return home and began to get more frantic. Cookie tried to distract her Father, but he heard a noise from the basement and was angry to find the door to his den locked, and threatened to break it down.

May 28 - Ian was pleased to see how well Arianna's recovery was going. Joe suggested that since Arianna was doing so well, maybe it was time for Ian to get his life back. Ian decided that Joe was right and he went in to see Arianna. She thanked him for saving her life and wished him luck with Eve. Ian didn't know where he should look for Eve first until he remembered the cabin. Though Eve was prepared to leave for a new adventure, she went back to the monastery and confessed to Michael that she had no clue how to start. She asked him if she could stay and help him with the restoration until she figured something out. Michael surprised her with his adamant refusal. He wouldn't give her good reasons for his denial though and Eve eventually got him to agree to let her stay for a few days. Alone, Michael prayed for Eve's safety and asked that nothing bad be allowed to touch her. Frank covered when Karen questioned his words of time travel. He was going to leave her alone to rest, but she didn't want to be apart from him. He sat beside her on the bed and told her a fairy tale that was remarkably similar to Frank's journey through time. Karen cried over the beautiful story and told Frank that it sounded strangely familiar. Livvie confided in Alison that Jack had been overly passionate in bed the night before. She became too embarrassed to go into greater detail, but Alison made her promise to tell her more later. Jack sauntered in and asked Alison if they had been talking about him. Their conversation was interrupted when Garcia and Andy came in for a cup of coffee. Alison was shocked by Jack's antagonistic attitude towards the cops and diverted his attention from them by teasing him about his wild night. Jack told her he would show her exactly how wild he was and he pulled her into a kiss. Just then, Jamal and Zach walked in. Jamal pulled Jack off of Alison while Zach slipped away after spying the cops. Andy asked if anyone wanted to press charges, but nobody did. Jamal couldn't believe that Jack would betray his friendship in such a way. Alison took it lightly, assuming Jack had been joking. Livvie, who had come in when Jamal hit Jack, was also stunned by Jack's behavior. Jamal told Jack that he didn't want his help with the race because Jack was acting too weird. Livvie confronted Jack and asked him what was going on. Jack had no idea what was wrong with him. 

May 29 - A grateful Arianna fervently thanked Karen for donating part of her liver and thereby saving Arianna's life. Karen told Arianna that she wouldn't have had the courage to do it if it hadn't been for Eve. Arianna revealed that Eve would find out about her sacrifice because Ian went in search of her. When Karen left, Gabriela came in and said she had placed a call to Victor. She asked if Arianna was sure about her plans and Arianna said it was time for her to begin her life. Ian searched for Eve at the cabin, but was stymied when he could find no trace of her. He decided to look around the woods, thinking he would find a clue out there. Lucy and Serena packed a picnic lunch and prepared to journey to the woods to secure the last of Serena's Ladybug troop badges. Lucy was a little put-off when everyone kept warning her that the woods were spooky and weird things had happened there. At the campsite, Lucy laid out the picnic and tried to help Serena, who pulled away from Lucy. She told her mother that she was tired of being treated like a baby when she was so close to her teen years. Lucy promised to be more respectful of Serena's age, but warned her that in private, she would still be Lucy's baby. As they tickled each other, a noise in the woods disturbed them. Lucy grabbed her purse and started beating a man as he came out of the bushes. It turned out to be Ian. He tugged her purse away from her and the stranger tarot card fell out. Lucy revealed that the card meant danger for him or someone close to him. Ian told Lucy and Serena to leave the woods because he felt that something was wrong. Eve looked around the monastery for Michael, but he didn't respond to her calls. She had come with a question about one of the places he suggested needed her medical expertise. As she waited for him, cold air filled the room and Eve relit the candles when they blew out. She tried to get into another room thinking that Michael was inside, but the door was locked. She nearly jumped out of her skin when the door opened and Michael came out. He told her that he hadn't heard her calling and wouldn't let her see inside the room. He brought out a cradle that he had carved for her baby and told her that it would keep the baby safe in their travels. Eve didn't think she needed any protection, but Michael maintained that there was a lot of evil in the world and it didn't hurt to have a little extra help. Eve agreed, but wondered about his strange attitude. 

May 30 - Karen persuaded Joe to release her from the hospital. Frank made her comfortable at home. He remembered that he still had her locket and returned it to her as Scott and Rhonda walked in to visit. Scott thanked Frank for taking such good care of Karen and told him that they would be visiting for a while if he wanted to take a break. He agreed that it would be a good time to leave for a while. Rhonda saw the locket in Karen's hand and told Karen how proud Caroline would have been for what Karen did, and the person she has become. She laughed and told them that she almost didn't go to the dance the night Karen was conceived, but that a friend who had been helping her through all of the things that had been going on in her life had also encouraged her to go. Scott asked Rhonda who the friend was and she told him that it wasn't anyone he would know, he wasn't from Port Charles; he was from the future. Hearing this intrigued Karen because of the time travel story that Frank had told her in the hospital. She asked more about this friend and Rhonda said that she didn't remember very much, he had dark hair and ironically enough, his name was Frank. Frank took flowers to Caroline's grave. He told her how sorry he was that he wasn't able to save her from the accident. He went on to tell her how proud she would have been of Karen, and that Karen is living out many of Carolyn's own hopes and dreams. He told her how difficult it was to keep his time travel journey to himself. He did not want to keep it all a secret, but was afraid something would come between them if he told her the truth. Frank then promised Caroline that he would always take care of Karen. As Jamal was getting his bike ready for the race, Alison questioned his decision to not let Jack and Livvie come. Jamal told her that he had enough to worry about during the race and didn't need additional distractions. Alison became more nervous went someone gave Jamal a ribbon to wear during the race in memory of another driver who was killed while racing. Jamal assured her that everything would be OK, and she asked him if they could go for a ride before the race. Jamal took Alison out for a great ride. They stopped along the road and Alison told Jamal how wonderful the ride was but needed to do one thing before they headed back. She then went over to Jamal's bike, pulled out a part, and hurled it across the road. In shock, Jamal asked her why she had done that and Alison told him that there may be a race, but that he was not going to be in it. Ian was about to give up on finding Eve when Granya "came" to visit him. She encouraged him not to give up now, he had come so far already. She told him to keep following his heart, and with a final check mate in their chess game, he when back out to find Eve.

Back at the track, Jack decides to fill in for his missing friend despite vehement objections from a dismayed Livvie. Eve thanks Michael again for the beautiful hand-carved cradle he made.

Though her boyfriend shrugs off her persistent questions, Karen is astounded to discover a photo of an adult Frank standing next to his young, pregnant mother. Jamal overpowers Zach's goon, then gets on the radio and warns Jack to throw away the contraband he's carrying.
