Robin & Patrick #20 NB 2013, October 1 - November 25, 2013: 8 hour original edit

DVD #20A4/5/13 On the red carpet, an entertainment television host introduced the viewing audience to Duke, sporting a kilt, arrived on the red carpet alone, but Anna and Emma soon followed, and Anna stopped to talk to the host. Anna confessed that she believed that her daughter, Robin, was there in spirit. Emma smiled brightly when she saw Duke posing for pictures, so she called out to him. Duke waved back at Emma as she ran towards him.

Later, Patrick joined his family at their table in the ballroom. Emma happily hugged her father, but noticed something on his collar. Noah smiled knowingly at his son. "Looks like you found her," Noah said. Patrick retuned his father's smile as he replied, "Yes." Lucy stepped onto the stage to officially kick off the 2013 Nurses Ball. Emma thought that Sabrina looked like a princess and invited her to sit with them. Patrick agreed and invited Sabrina to sit.

4/8 Sabrina sat with Patrick and Emma, who asked if Milo was still Sabrina's boyfriend. When Sabrina said, "No," Emma asked if Patrick could be Sabrina's boyfriend. Both Sabrina and Patrick looked very happy. Emma noticed Duke and Anna and asked if Anna had a boyfriend, too. After Sabrina took Emma away to get dressed for their number together, Anna gave her blessing to Patrick and Sabrina. Lucy introduced Emma and Sabrina, who did a cute song and dance number together to the song "Call Me Maybe." Patrick was entranced with his "pretty in pink" girls.

Lucy got serious as she said that the ball was held in Robin's honor, and she introduced Patrick. Patrick talked about the AIDS epidemic. He said that it was not over and that Robin had devoted her life to helping fight it. He told Robin's story. Patrick called Emma on-stage and said that they were grateful for the love that everyone had show Robin. He added that Robin's legacy lived on, thanks to each and every person who had contributed to making Robin's dream a reality. Britt walked up to the stage. Patrick asked what she was doing. Britt merely said that she wanted to add a few words of her own. Back in the hotel room, Dr. Obrecht watched Britt and looked at a photograph. She told the photograph that he would be a proud papa. A closeup revealed that the man in the photo was Faison.

4/9 In the ballroom, Patrick warily asked Britt what she was doing on stage. Britt claimed that his speech had inspired her, so she had wanted to add a few words of her own. Sabrina stood protectively close to Emma as Patrick quietly reminded Britt that the night was intended to honor Robin. He asked Britt not to make a scene, but Britt was confident that everyone would want to hear what she had to say. Sabrina tried to intervene, but Britt warned Sabrina that it didn't concern Sabrina. Sabrina disagreed, so Britt announced that she had great news. An audible gasp reverberated through the room as Britt shrugged out of her coat to proudly reveal that she was pregnant with a baby that she claimed Patrick had fathered. Nearby, Anna watched intently as Patrick tried to handle the situation.

Britt innocently explained that she had been caught up in the joy of the evening, so she had wanted to share her surprise with everyone and celebrate the wonderful news with Patrick. Patrick tried to contain his fury as Britt's eyes zeroed in on Emma. Britt insisted that the baby would be as beautiful as Emma then asked the frightened little girl if Emma looked forward to welcoming a little sister or brother. Anna dashed to the stage, while Patrick warned Britt not to talk to Emma. Anna ushered Emma off stage as Britt boldly announced that Britt and Patrick were a family now. Sabrina accused Britt of lying, but Britt stroked her slightly rounded belly as she assured Sabrina that the pregnancy was very real. Patrick decided to continue his discussion with Britt in private, so he escorted Britt off of the stage. Distraught, Sabrina ran in the opposite direction.

Anna and Duke took Emma to a dressing room. Duke tried to cheer the little girl up with a dessert that he had stolen, but Emma was concerned about Britt's startling news. Anna confessed that she didn't know if what Britt had said was true, so Emma wondered if it was because Britt was a mean person who lied. Anna struggled to find the right words. "Yes, that's why we don't know," Duke answered for Anna. Anna quickly assured her granddaughter that Emma would be a wonderful big sister whenever she became one. Emma confessed that she didn't want a brother or sister if it meant that Britt had to be her mother too.

Lucy returned to the stage and invited Sabrina to join her. Sabrina reluctantly went with encouragement from Patrick. However, Sabrina insisted that Emma had been the true driving force behind the Nurses Ball. Patrick carried his daughter on stage, so that Emma could thank everyone. Emma then wondered if Patrick thought that her mother was looking down on them, "I think she's always watching," Patrick admitted. Sabrina suddenly sang a touching song assuring Emma that Emma was not alone. Patrick joined in as the guests gathered around the stage and softly swayed to the heartwarming song.

10/1/13 Duke and Anna entered the diner and then sat down at a table as Duke confessed that working for Derek had been surprisingly easy. Duke admitted that it was as if Duke and Derek had worked together before. Duke's smile faded when he noticed how quiet Anna was, so he asked what was troubling her. Anna admitted that she wasn't good company because she had been thinking about her daughter. Anna explained that she had had a talk with Patrick about letting go and moving forward, even though Anna had been "utterly" incapable of doing so herself. Duke was surprised when Anna mentioned that Patrick had still been wearing a wedding ring because Duke hadn't noticed it before. Anna revealed that Patrick hadn't either until someone had pointed it out to Patrick. Anna confided that Patrick hadn't been able to take it off because Patrick hadn't been able to commit to life without Robin.

Anna confessed that she had urged Patrick to let go of the past for Sabrina's sake, but Anna hadn't had the right to do that because Anna hadn't moved forward either. Anna's eyes filled with fresh tears as she explained that she thought about her daughter constantly and that there had been times when Anna would spot a dress in a department store and go to buy it for Robin, but then realize that her daughter would never wear it. Anna realized that she had to accept that Robin was gone, but it was hard to believe that her daughter had died because a part of her felt as if Robin were alive and somewhere out in the world. Duke offered to take the rest of the day off to focus on Anna, but she rejected the idea because it was Duke's first day on the job, and she was swamped with work. Anna reminded him that she still had to track down Dr. Obrecht. "She needs to pay for the hell she caused, and I intend to make sure she does," Anna added.

At the Drake residence, Sabrina was curious what Patrick wanted to tell her about Robin. Patrick realized that they hadn't talked about Robin since Patrick and Sabrina had become romantically involved. Sabrina assured Patrick that it hadn't made her uncomfortable when he had talked about Robin. Patrick appreciated that. However, a big part of him hadn't been able to accept that Robin was gone. Sabrina knew what it was like to lose a loved one because she still had difficult days when she missed her mother. Patrick insisted that Sabrina was too kind because he still wore his wedding ring a year and a half after Robin's tragic death. He admitted that a part of him had been clinging to the fantasy that Robin was still alive. Sabrina feared that Carlos' comments had made the wedding ring an issue for Patrick. Patrick hadn't appreciated Carlos' delivery, but Carlos had made a good point by questioning how serious Patrick was about Sabrina. "How serious are you?" Sabrina quietly asked.

Patrick assured Sabrina that he loved her because she was beautiful, smart, funny, sexy, and kind. He felt like a hypocrite for holding onto the ring when he had urged Sam to stop using her grief for Jason as an excuse to keep from moving forward. Patrick regretted that he had sent Sabrina mixed signals because he was serious about her. Sabrina confessed that a part of her had wondered if Robin would always be first in Patrick's heart because of the ring, so Patrick admitted that he had been waiting for the right time to take off the ring. Patrick admitted that a part of him would always love Robin, but he had to make the choice to let go and move forward. Patrick wanted to live in the present with Sabrina, so he slid the wedding ring off of his finger and then placed it into a small jewelry box alongside Robin's wedding ring. After Patrick closed the ring box, he reached for Sabrina and then kissed her.

On Cassadine Island, Jerry Jacks entered the laboratory where Robin was working hard to develop a serum to cure him of radiation poisoning. He hoped that she had made progress, but Robin glared at him and then spit in his face. Jerry was annoyed, but calmly reminded her of their deal; she could return home if she cured him. Jerry announced that he had some incentive to encourage Robin to complete the task with the greatest possible speed and then held up a DVD. Robin was shocked when he revealed that the DVD was of the 2013 Nurses Ball. Robin recalled that there hadn't been any funding for the ball for years, so Jerry explained that Lucy Coe had raised the money to get the Nurses Ball off of the ground. Robin appeared skeptical, but Jerry assured her that it was true and then confessed that he had made an anonymous donation to cover the expenses.

Robin wondered why Jerry would do that, so he admitted that "on a global level" the vicious disease needed to be eradicated and on a personal note he had been worried about Robin's health. Robin pointed out that she was fine. "Thanks to me," Jerry replied. He reminded her that he had provided her with the cocktail she needed to keep her disease under control, but Robin argued that he just wanted her to stay alive long enough to develop a cure. Jerry shifted gears to ask if Robin wanted to watch the DVD, so she reluctantly put it into the computer's disk drive. Jerry warned her that there was a male strip show and then revealed that Lucy had lost her clothes "because of Richard Simmons, of all people." Robin was surprised, so Jerry admitted that it had made the whole thing worth watching.

Jerry quickly fast-forwarded the DVD to Patrick's speech about the reason behind the Nurses Ball. Robin's eyes filled with tears as she watched her beloved husband. "I love you," she told Patrick. "Worth pushing yourself a little harder to get home, isn't it?" Jerry asked. Robin ignored Jerry as an image of Duke and Anna appeared on the screen. Robin was stunned, so Jerry confirmed that Duke was indeed alive and had reunited with Anna. Robin realized that she really had had an encounter with Duke in the clinic. The DVD then showed Emma joining Patrick on stage. Robin's eyes once again welled up with tears as she looked at her daughter, who had grown since Robin had last seen her.

Robin was puzzled when she saw Sabrina on the stage because she didn't recognize her. Jerry revealed that Sabrina was the new woman in Patrick's life. Jerry warned Robin that Patrick and Sabrina's relationship was serious, so Robin needed to get home before it was too late. Robin's tears continued as she watched Emma ask Patrick asked if Robin was watching them. Sabrina stood next to Patrick as he assured his daughter that her mother was always watching. After Jerry left the room, Robin made a vow. "I'm coming, Patrick. I swear it," Robin whispered with determination.

10/3 At Kelly's, Mac and Felicia joined Sabrina, Patrick, and Emma for breakfast. Mac was curious if Emma had picked a costume for Halloween, but Emma confessed that she hadn't decided what she wanted to go trick-or-treating as. Felicia slid a ring off of her finger and then extended it to Emma as she suggested that Emma consider going as an Aztec princess. Emma's smile faded when she realized that the ring was too big, so Sabrina assured Emma that the ring could be resized.

Emma ran over to Felicia to hug and thank Felicia. Emma turned to her father, but noticed that he wasn't wearing his wedding band. Patrick gently explained that he had worn it to remember Robin, but he had put it in a safe place because he didn't need it anymore. Patrick admitted that he saw Robin whenever he looked at Emma and that Robin would always remain in their hearts. Maxie saw her family gathered around a table, so she approached them. They warmly greeted Maxie and explained that they had been remembering Robin. Maxie smiled nervously and asked to speak privately to her parents.

After Mac and Felicia followed Maxie outside, Patrick and Sabrina stepped away from the table. Sabrina worried that she had pressured Patrick into taking off the wedding ring, but he assured her that it had been the right thing to do. He had realized that he could honor his late wife and still move forward, so it had been his decision. Patrick was curious if Sabrina had heard from Carlos, so she revealed that Carlos had called her several times, but she had ignored the calls. She suspected that Carlos had gotten the message that she was happily taken because the calls had stopped. Moments later, a delivery person entered with a bouquet of flowers and a card for Sabrina.

In the laboratory on Cassadine Island, Robin fast-forwarded the DVD to pause it on images of Maxie and Anna. She then spoke into her recorder as she explained that Jerry would die if the next trial failed. Robin had no idea what would become of her, but she noted that Jerry had been holding her hostage for 289 days. She admitted that the little girl inside of her kept hoping for her mother to rescue her. Robin realized that it was silly because Anna wasn't a god, but she had always seen her mother as a superhero, so she expected Anna to burst through the door at any moment. Robin realized that some people became accustomed to imprisonment, but time hadn't dulled her ache for her loved ones. She confessed that she constantly wondered what they were doing and if they thought about her. Robin was particularly concerned if Emma remembered her. Robin's eyes strayed to the screen and froze the DVD on an image of Patrick holding Emma.

Jerry suddenly entered the laboratory and quickly turned off the DVD. He reminded Robin that she was there to work, so Robin assured him that she had been working all day. Jerry explained that he had given Robin the DVD as an incentive not a distraction. He warned her that if he died then she would be lost to her family forever. Robin insisted that the cure would take time to develop, but Jerry made it clear that it was a luxury that they didn't have. He insisted that she would join him in death if she failed. Robin was curious what guarantee she had that he would uphold his promise if she provided him with the cure. "My word," Jerry assured her. Robin reminded Jerry that he had nearly killed her before, so she didn't trust him.

Jerry explained that the shooting during the hostage crisis had been a means to an end. According to Jerry, he had been careful about the placement of the bullet when he had shot her, so he had given her a reasonable chance at survival. Robin wanted assurance that Jerry would let her go when she gave him the cure, but Jerry insisted that she would have to settle for his word. Jerry ordered Robin to get back to work and then left. Robin resumed watching the DVD and was stunned when she saw Britt inform Patrick that Britt was pregnant with his child.

In the outer room, Jerry stopped short when Liesl Obrecht entered. Liesl smiled and greeted Jerry, but he demanded to know what she was doing with a baby. Liesl introduced her grandson, "Cesar," and explained that she had liberated the baby because her daughter's plans for Cesar had been "inadequate." Jerry was livid that Liesl had risked everything by going to Port Charles to kidnap her grandson. He warned her that her daughter would not rest until the baby was found, which meant that Anna and the WSB would be alerted and track Liesl to the island. Liesl assured him that she had been deceiving more powerful women than Anna since Jerry had been in "nappies."

Jerry was not appeased. Jerry was curious if Liesl had ever heard of Skype, but Liesl argued that "little Cesar" had required more than a few digital images of his grandmother. Liesl announced that she needed a babysitter for her grandson, so Jerry made it clear that he would not do it. Liesl chuckled as she conceded that Jerry was many things, but not paternal. Liesl revealed that she had another idea. Jerry objected when she filled him in on her plans, but Liesl reminded him that she had been the one to hand Robin to him, so she could take Robin away. Jerry dared Liesl to try. Liesl refused to back down, so Jerry stepped aside.

In the laboratory, Robin was surprised when Dr. Obrecht walked in pushing a pram. Liesl invited Robin to call her Liesl, but Robin wanted to know why Dr. Obrecht was there. Liesl revealed that she wanted Robin to take care of the baby, but Robin refused to babysit. Liesl was surprised because she thought that Robin would appreciate having a roommate. Robin was stunned when Liesl revealed that the baby was her daughter, Britta's, son and that the father was Patrick.

Robin refused to believe it, but Liesl assured Robin that it was true. Liesl claimed that Britt and Patrick had been a good match, but Patrick had moved on to Sabrina. "Patrick had a child with another woman?" Robin asked. Robin insisted that it didn't make sense, but Liesl chuckled because Patrick hadn't been known for his fidelity and then gloated that her daughter was "very, very attractive." Robin wondered if Dr. Obrecht had helped Britt and if Britt had been involved in Robin's kidnapping. Dr. Obrecht explained that if Robin knew Britt then Robin would know what an absurd question that had been.

10/4 At the hospital, Sabrina bumped into Patrick and mentioned Britt's son's kidnapping. Sabrina felt terrible for Britt, so Patrick admitted that there was no telling what would happen to the baby because Dr. Obrecht was a psychopath. Sabrina doubted that Dr. Obrecht would hurt her own grandson, but Patrick reminded Sabrina of the horrible things that Britt's mother had done. Moments later, a nurse walked up to ask Patrick and Sabrina what the special occasion was. Patrick and Sabrina appeared puzzled, so the nurse revealed that Sabrina had received a bouquet of flowers.

At the nurses' station, Sabrina looked at the card that had accompanied the bouquet of red roses. Patrick guessed that the flowers were from Carlos, so Sabrina confirmed that they were. She read the card aloud. It declared that Carlos would not give up on Sabrina because she was the only woman in his heart, unlike Patrick who couldn't say the same. Sabrina apologized and assured Patrick that she would make certain that Carlos left her alone.

After Sabrina left, Sam walked up to talk to Patrick. Patrick congratulated Sam because he had heard that Danny had been discharged. Sam smiled as she admitted that it had been ages since her life had felt normal. She thanked Patrick for helping her by patiently talking to her and making her feel strong. Patrick insisted that Sam was strong, but Sam waved the compliment away and asked if there was anything that she could do for Patrick. Patrick assured Sam that it wasn't necessary, but Sam wanted to show her appreciation. Patrick told Sam that Danny's recovery was more than enough, but Sam was certain that there had to be something that she could do. Patrick glanced at the discarded bouquet of red roses on the counter and then jokingly suggested that perhaps Sam could help get rid of Carlos Rivera.

Sam was curious who Carlos was, so Patrick explained that Carlos was Sabrina's ex-boyfriend from Puerto Rico. Patrick quickly filled her in on Carlos' desire to win Sabrina back and his accusation that Patrick had been wearing the wedding band because Patrick wasn't over Robin. Sam had noticed that he had been wearing his wedding ring, so she had suspected that Patrick hadn't been as ready to move forward as he had hoped. Sam was curious why Patrick had taken the ring off, so he revealed that it hadn't been fair to Sabrina. Sam suggested that perhaps he hadn't been fair to Robin either. She reminded him that he had told her that Jason would want Sam to be happy and to find love again. Sam was certain that Patrick had been right, but she was also certain that Robin would want the same for Patrick. Sam explained that Robin wouldn't have wanted him to wear the ring to keep him tied to the memories and the loss of his wife.

Patrick admitted that Sam was a very astute woman. Sam smiled and then reminded him that he had encouraged her to let go of Jason and to find happiness. She revealed that she had gone out on a date with Silas, which had been a disaster, but it had given her hope. She appreciated that it was hard to move on, but she urged Patrick to follow his own advice. Patrick handed Sam the bouquet of flowers to thank her for the talk, but Sam smiled because she suspected that it was really Patrick's way of getting rid of Carlos. Patrick returned the smile and confessed that she was right. However, he also wanted Sam to have the flowers because she deserved them. Sam thanked Patrick and then left. Moments later, Patrick appeared sad as he thought about his wedding to Robin and the vows that they had exchanged.

In the laboratory on Cassadine Island, Robin held Ben as she confessed that she and Patrick had talked about having another baby one day. "But now he has you...with someone else," Robin added with a touch sadness in her tone.

Liesl Obrecht entered the room and cooed to her grandson in German as she took the baby from Robin. Robin's attitude towards Liesl was cold, so Liesl warned Robin that Robin's hostility might affect the baby. Robin demanded to know what Liesl was doing with Patrick's son. Liesl warned Robin that Robin wasn't in a position to ask, so she suggested that Robin simply be grateful that Liesl hadn't killed her.

Robin pointed out that the only reason that Robin was still alive was because Robert had stopped Liesl from injecting Robin with the deadly propofol. Liesl conceded that Robert's timing had been unfortunate, but Robin made it clear that Liesl had only gained the upper hand because Robert had been shocked when he had seen Robin. Liesl shrugged and insisted that everything had worked out, but Robin vehemently disagreed. Liesl warned Robin that Jerry Jacks was the only reason that Robin was still breathing. Robin was certain that Robert would wake up and tell Anna that Robin was alive, but Liesl doubted that Robert would remember the moments prior to slipping into a coma. Liesl informed Robin that Robin's only hope for freedom was to formulate Jerry's cure.

Robin refused to do anything until Liesl explained what Patrick's son was doing there. Liesl told her that the baby was important, even if Patrick wasn't. Robin didn't believe that the baby was Patrick's son because Robin couldn't imagine Patrick allowing Liesl to take the baby. Liesl laughed and admitted that she hadn't asked for Patrick's permission. Robin realized that Liesl had kidnapped the baby, so Robin worried about Patrick. Liesl assured Robin that Sabrina would comfort Patrick. Robin was curious if Sabrina was the woman that Jerry had claimed had replaced Robin. Liesl nodded and then confessed that she had admired Sabrina's single-minded focus in pursing Patrick. Liesl pointed out that Sabrina wasn't Patrick's professional equal or a beauty, but Sabrina had managed to worm her way into Patrick's heart. Liesl revealed that Britt was a doctor, too, but Britt was weak and principled, so Britt hadn't been a match for Sabrina. Robin was curious what Sabrina had done, so Liesl claimed that Sabrina had stalked Patrick and had used every opportunity to get close to him.

Liesl appreciated that it was a bitter pill for Robin to swallow and admitted that Robin had her sympathy. Robin didn't believe Liesl, but Liesl assured Robin that Liesl knew what it was like to have a rival. Liesl advised Robin to do what was most expedient to eliminate the competition and then confided that she had tried to remove her own rival, but had nearly killed the woman's boyfriend instead. Robin revealed that she had left Patrick a message urging him to move forward and to find love again. Liesl appeared skeptical and continued to prey on Robin's hurt by suggesting that Sabrina had gotten to Patrick by using Robin's memory and getting close to Emma. According to Liesl, Sabrina had gleaned the information about the Nurses Ball from Emma and had used the event to reel Patrick in. Liesl warned Robin that Robin didn't have a family to go home to because Sabrina had stolen Patrick and Emma.

Robin blamed Liesl for everything because Liesl had allowed Patrick to believe that Robin had died. Liesl pointed out that it didn't matter because Robin would die if Robin failed to cure Jerry. Robin felt sorry for Liesl's daughter because no one deserved a mother like the diabolical doctor. Liesl noticed that the baby had fallen asleep, so she announced that she had to leave. Robin wanted to know where Liesl was going. "To see someone I love as much as you love Patrick," Liesl answered. Robin went over to the microscope as Liesl started to leave. "Oh, my God," Robin suddenly said. Robin claimed that she might have discovered the key to saving Jerry. Robin asked Liesl to take a look at the slide because Robin wanted a second opinion, so Liesl agreed. However, Liesl frowned when she failed to see what Robin had been talking about. Robin picked up heavy beaker and then smashed it over Liesl's head. Liesl fell to the ground, unconscious, so Robin vowed to return home to Port Charles and her family.

Elsewhere in the Cassadine stronghold, Jerry looked at his cell phone as a henchman walked up with a tray of food. The guard assumed that Anna Donely had contacted Jerry, so Jerry revealed that Anna wanted more elixir for Sean. Jerry admitted that he wasn't inclined to help Anna because it was Anna's fault that Luke had ended up on Cassadine Island. Jerry put the phone away and then took the tray from the henchman. Jerry noted that Luke hadn't died yet, so he set the tray of food down and then sprinkled ice water on Luke's face to wake Luke up. Luke slowly opened his eyes and tried to sit up, but he was too weak. Jerry greeted Luke and then moved the tray of food to the bed. Luke immediately recognized the "Cassadine hellhole." Jerry conceded that the stronghold lacked amenities, but the atmosphere made up for it. Luke hadn't expected to wake up, so he was curious why Jerry hadn't killed him. Jerry confessed that he hadn't seen the point of wasting a bullet when the polonium poisoning was doing an effective job. Luke asked Jerry to let the guard take Luke somewhere to die, but Jerry refused.

Jerry suspected that the illness had made him soft because he had decided to make Luke comfortable until the end. Luke saw through the lie and demanded to know the real reason that Jerry wanted Luke to remain alive. Jerry smiled pleasantly as he confessed that he had decided to test the formula that the doctor was working on to make certain that the doctor wouldn't try to kill Jerry. Surprised, Luke was curious why Jerry's doctor would want to kill Jerry. "She's just not that into me," Jerry answered. Jerry started to leave, but Luke was curious what Jerry would do if the doctor's intentions were deadly. Jerry explained that the doctor had too much to lose. In Lucerne, Switzerland, Anna stood outside of Robert's room as she spoke to Duke on the phone. She explained that Holly had been called away to help Ethan, but Duke wanted to know if it was true that Robert was awake. Anna revealed that Mac was with Robert, so she didn't know exactly what was going on, but she promised to call Duke when she had an update and then ended the call.

Moments later, Mac stepped into the hallway to invite Anna into Robert's room. Anna entered cautiously, but stopped short in the doorway when she saw Robert sitting up in bed and smiling. "Hey, Sweetheart," Robert greeted Anna. Anna's face lit up with happiness as she approached the bed and hugged Robert. Anna admitted that she had been praying for Robert to wake up, so Robert reminded her that he would have never stayed away for long. Mac told his brother that life hadn't been the same without Robert, so Robert asked how long he had been in a coma. Anna revealed that it had been almost a year, so Mac added that Anna had been working hard to put Dr. Obrecht behind bars. Robert had no idea who Dr. Obrecht was, so Anna explained that the evil doctor had injected Robert with a near fatal dose of propofol. Robert became alarmed when Mac mentioned that Faison had been involved, so Anna quickly assured Robert that Faison had been captured.

Anna told Robert about the events that had led to Robert's encounter with Dr. Obrecht. Duke was stunned to learn that Duke Lavery had indeed been alive and had been held captive in the clinic. Anna was curious what Robert remembered, so he confessed that he recalled hearing voices from one of the rooms and had followed the sounds but he didn't recall what had happened after that. Robert was desperate to remember, but Anna and Mac thought that Robert should get some rest. Robert had a sense that he needed to remember something important, so he begged Anna to help him recover the memory. Anna recalled that she had found Robert alone in a room with a syringe sticking out of his chest and muttering 'We have to find her,' but Anna hadn't known what he had meant.

Robert struggled to remember, but the memory remained elusive. Anna urged Robert to rest and promised that they would try again later. Mac decided to call Felicia with an update. Robert was pleasantly surprised when Mac revealed that Mac and Felicia were married, so he congratulated his brother. After Mac left, Robert closed his eyes to sleep, so Anna quietly made her way to the door. Robert suddenly recalled bursting into a room and finding Dr. Obrecht looming over Robin who had been tied to the bed. "Oh, my God," Robert said as his eyes snapped open. Anna rushed to his side when she heard the urgency in his voice. Robert told Anna that Dr. Obrecht had their daughter.

10/7 Robin tricked Liesl, Dr. Obrecht, into looking at a microscope and then conked her on the head. Robin used Liesl's fingerprint to open the lab, grabbed Ben, and tried to escape, but Jerry stopped her. Jerry asked Robin how she expected to escape. Robin said she would activate the cryogenic chamber and freeze the cure if Jerry tried to stop her. Jerry said that it would also freeze Dr. Obrecht, and he did not think that Robin would kill another human. Jerry dared Robin to hit the switch. Robin did, but nothing happened. Jerry joked that Robin was more ruthless that he had imagined and that her parents would be proud. He told her that the cryogenic chamber had been removed to create the lab. Dr. Obrecht awoke and was very angry. She wanted to kill Robin and finish the antidote, but Jerry intervened and said that Robin would finish the cure. Robin and Ben were forced to return to the lab. Jerry told Dr. Obrecht that the cure would soon be finished, and their association would be over. Tracy overheard.

Robin pounded on the lab door, demanding to be let out, but no one responded. Ben started crying. Robin apologized for frightening him and soothed Ben's anxieties. Once Ben fell asleep, Robin went back to work. Tracy returned to Luke and told him that she had not been able to get to the doctor. As Tracy checked her gun, she said that the cure would find them. Luke realized that Tracy was planning to ambush Jerry. Luke was smiling as he complimented Tracy for being full of surprises.

In the Swiss clinic where he was recovering, Robert told Anna that Robin was alive and being held by Dr. Obrecht. Anna thought that Robert was delusional and refused to take him seriously. Robert told Anna that Dr. Obrecht worked hand in hand with Faison, who was more than capable of faking Robin's death. Anna remembered that Faison had mentioned not being able to fool someone whom Anna had thought at the time might be Robin.

Anna quickly rejected that notion, but Robert insisted that if Anna found Dr. Obrecht, she would find Robin. Anna said that Dr. Obrecht had tried to kill Duke and had recently kidnapped a child. Robert said, "Our child." Robert advised Anna to get back on the doctor's trail before it went cold. Anna said that she had to see Faison. She made a phone call and an appointment. Robert said that he was going with her because Faison had a hold on Anna. Anna said that she had nothing but contempt for Faison and could see him without Robert, who needed to rest and recover. Robert agreed not to tell anyone that Robin was alive until Anna and Robert had proof that Robin had not died in the lab fire.

10/10 At Kelly's, Patrick told Emma to eat her breakfast, but Emma wasn't interested in the food because she was "in the zone" coloring. Moments later, Elizabeth entered the diner, so Patrick and Emma warmly greeted her. Elizabeth noticed Emma's untouched food, prompting Patrickmnk to remind his daughter to eat, so Emma dutifully took a bite and then resumed coloring. Elizabeth showed Patrick the front page of the Port Charles Press, which featured a story about the jury selection for A.J.'s murder trial. Patrick asked if Elizabeth had visited A.J., so she confessed that she hadn't seen A.J. since the arraignment. She explained that she hadn't been able to force herself to go to the jail, but she missed A.J. because he had been a big presence in her life, and he had been great with the boys. Patrick felt bad that he hadn't been there for her because she had been there for him and Emma after Robin had died, but Elizabeth assured him that it was okay.

"Aunty Elizabeth? Did Daddy tell you what today is?" Emma asked. Elizabeth smiled when Emma announced that it was Robin's birthday and that Emma had made Robin a card. Emma proudly presented the card to Elizabeth and then invited Elizabeth to read what Emma had written. Elizabeth was impressed with the picture that Emma had drawn depicting Robin as an angel looking down on Patrick and Emma. Elizabeth read the note that Emma had written wishing Robin a happy birthday and confessing that Patrick and Emma missed Robin every day. Emma explained that she intended to put the card in a special box where Robin and Patrick's wedding rings had been placed for safekeeping. Patrick suggested that Emma show the card to T.J. because T.J. had asked to see it when Emma was done. Emma called out to T.J. as she scampered off.

Elizabeth admitted that she had wondered when Patrick would take off his wedding ring. She appreciated that it had been a big decision, so Patrick explained that it hadn't been fair to Sabrina for him to hold on to the past because Sabrina had been wonderful throughout the ordeal with Britt and the baby. Elizabeth suspected that Sabrina's ex-boyfriend showing up out of the blue might have influenced Patrick's decision, but Patrick assured her that Carlos was not the reason that Patrick had taken off the wedding ring.

Patrick explained that he loved Sabrina and had been ready to move forward. Elizabeth was curious how it had felt to take off the ring. Patrick's eyes welled up with tears as he confided that his connection to Robin felt stronger than ever and that he still had difficulty believing that Robin would never return.

Moments later, Emma returned to the table with a muffin and a birthday candle that T.J. had given to Emma to celebrate Robin's birthday. Patrick lit the candle and then invited Emma to make a wish for her mother. After Emma blew out the candle, she asked if her father wanted to know the wish that she had made for her mother. Patrick nodded, so Emma confided that "Mommy" had wished to return home to Patrick and Emma. Emma suddenly realized that she had left the card on the counter, so she ran off to fetch it. Elizabeth took the opportunity to ask if Patrick was okay. Patrick sadly recalled Robin's last birthday when he had surprised Robin with plane tickets to Tokyo, Paris, and Rio de Janeiro. Elizabeth smiled because Robin had told her about the special gift.

Patrick confessed that he had thought that he and Robin would have their whole lives to travel, but Robin's life had been cut short. Elizabeth pointed out that Patrick couldn't have known that, so she urged him to focus on the good times and how much Robin had loved him. She suspected that Patrick felt especially close to Robin at the moment because he realized that it was time to let Robin go. Patrick agreed, but he admitted that taking off the ring had been painful. Elizabeth suggested that it had been painful for Patrick because it meant that he was saying goodbye to Robin. Elizabeth suddenly noticed the time and told Patrick that she had to leave. She affectionately kissed the top of his head and then invited him to call her if he needed to talk.

After Elizabeth left, Emma returned to the table with the birthday card, so Patrick announced that it was time for Emma to go to school. Emma asked him to hold onto the card until they could put it in the memory box, so Patrick took the card. Emma gathered her things as Patrick looked at the angel on the card and quietly whispered, "Happy birthday, my love."

At the clinic in Lucerne, Switzerland, Robert left Anna a voicemail message offering her advice on how to handle Faison when she questioned Faison about Robin. Mac appeared in the doorway as Robert ended the call, so Mac wondered who Robert had called. Robert admitted that he had left Anna a message. Mac was curious where Anna had disappeared to, so Robert carefully suggested that Anna might have gotten a lead on a bad guy. Mac assumed that it had something to do with Liesl Obrecht, so he told his brother that Liesl had knocked out her own daughter to kidnap Liesl's newborn grandson. Robert hoped that an angel was watching over the baby, but Mac feared that Liesl would use the baby as a lab rat.

The conversation then turned to Robin's birthday. Robert regretted that he had missed many of his daughter's birthdays as well as her funeral. "Even though...," Robert started to say before he caught himself. "'Even though' what?" Mac asked. Robert managed to cover his slip by confessing that he wished that he had stayed to say goodbye to his daughter. Mac assured Robert that Luke had read the letter that Robert had written, but Robert was disappointed in himself because he hadn't been stronger. Mac revealed that AMFAR had asked that the funeral be taped because AMFAR had wanted to do a tribute to Robin, so Robert asked to see the footage. Mac pulled it up online and then handed the laptop to Robert.

Robert watched the funeral, which started with Mac talking about his niece's capacity for love and her unwavering courage. Next, Elizabeth spoke about how Robin had fought hard for what Robin had believed in and that Robin had been irreplaceable. Robert agreed. Mac's eyes misted as he listened to Patrick's eulogy. Patrick had confessed that Robin had changed his life by opening him up to a new world that included love and a family, and she had taught Patrick about compassion and perseverance.

Robert noticed the tears in his brother's eyes, so Mac explained that he continued to miss Robin deeply. Robert confessed that he had something to tell Mac, but then Robert suddenly recalled Anna's warning not to tell Mac that Robin might be alive because Anna knew what it was like to get her hopes up only to have them dashed. Robert decided not to put his brother through that, so he suggested that he and Mac focus on how Robin had been full of hope and had believed that anything was possible. Robert hoped that Robin could hear them, wherever she was. "Happy birthday, Robin," Robert said. "Happy birthday, Sweetheart. We love you," Mac added.

On Cassadine Island, Jerry entered the laboratory with a breakfast tray. Robin rocked the baby as she warned Jerry that the cure would have to wait. Jerry offered Robin incentive by revealing that he had a jet plane fueled and ready to take her home. Jerry handed her a glass of water, but Robin was reluctant to accept it. Jerry told her that she was lucky to have gotten anything after the stunt that she had pulled the previous day.

Robin refused to apologize for knocking Liesl out and trying to escape, but she was curious where Liesl had gone. Jerry informed Robin that it was none of Robin's concern, but Robin confessed that her interest had been piqued because Liesl had mentioned visiting someone that Liesl loved as much as Robin loved Patrick. Robin couldn't understand why Liesl hadn't taken the baby with her, so Jerry was curious why Robin questioned the motives of a "sociopathic" woman.

Robin shrugged and admitted that she was grateful that she had the baby for company. Jerry warned Robin not to become sidetracked from her work and then lifted the lid off of a plate. Robin looked at the muffin with a small candle in its center but appeared confused. Jerry explained that it was a small gesture to celebrate her birthday. Robin pointed out that she had no idea what day it was, so she was skeptical that it was her birthday. Jerry assured her that on that very date, Robin had been born across the Ionian Sea in Italy. He recalled that Anna had named her Robin Soltini to protect Robin from Robert and Anna's enemies and then had allowed Robin to grow up believing that Anna was a family friend. Robin sarcastically assured him that he would be her first call if she ever needed a biographer.

Robin knew that Jerry didn't care about her, so she was curious why he had gone through the trouble of commemorating her birthday. Jerry confessed that he had hoped that it would give her incentive to work harder so she could celebrate her next birthday with her family. He reminded her that if she failed to formulate a cure then she would die right along with him. Robin assured Jerry that he had threatened her enough times for her to appreciate the consequences of failing. Jerry ordered Robin to get back to work and then left. Robin lit the candle on the muffin, made a wish, blew it out, and then returned to her research. She was determined to find a cure so she could return home that very day. Later, Robin went to the intercom and demanded that Jerry get in the lab right away. Moments later, Jerry walked through the door, so she informed him that he would not die of polonium poisoning because she had the cure.

At Steinmauer Maximum Security Prison in Geneva, Switzerland, Anna approached the front desk to show a guard her identification. The guard checked his records to confirm that she had been granted permission by the WSB to meet with Cesar Faison, so Anna asked to retain her sidearm because Faison was a dangerous criminal. The guard agreed and then led her to a small room.

Moments later, Faison was led into the room in shackles. After the guards left, Anna took a seat. Faison smiled at her, but Anna quickly informed him that she was not there to reminisce. She explained that she had something of great importance to ask him, but Faison wanted Anna to know how much he loved her. Anna didn't want to talk about that, but he insisted that they could have been happy together if his plan hadn't gone awry. He was curious if she could forgive him. Anna held back her tears as she conceded that perhaps one day she could. However, it depended on Faison's response to what she had to tell him. Faison promised that he would do anything to make things up to her, so Anna told him that it was about Robin.

Faison was certain that Robin was never far from Anna's thoughts, especially on that day. Anna was surprised that he had known that it was Robin's birthday, so he explained that anything that was important to Anna was important to him. A tear slid down Anna's cheek as she admitted that it was unbearable knowing that she would never touch or see her daughter again. Faison quietly revealed that Robin was alive. Anna refused to believe it, but Faison assured her that it was true. She immediately demanded to know how he had kept Robin hidden. Faison admitted that he'd had help, so Anna wanted names. Faison admitted that Jerry Jacks, the late Dr. Ewen Keenan, and Liesl Obrecht had been his accomplices.

Anna confessed that she was familiar with Dr. Obrecht, so she knew that Dr. Obrecht would die for him. Faison assured Anna that he was fully aware of Liesl's feelings, but he insisted that he had never returned them because he had always been in love with Anna. Anna was certain that there had to be some attachment to Liesl after everything the doctor had done for Faison, but Faison was adamant that Anna was the only woman in his life.

Faison stood up and then slowly approached Anna until he had backed her against the door. Anna stood still as he leaned in to kiss her. After the kiss ended, Faison was filled with hope because Anna had kissed him back. "Yes, I did," Anna admitted. Faison was certain that she returned his feelings, so she conceded that she loved him. Faison smiled with satisfaction because he had been certain that she would love him once he had told her about Robin. Faison's happiness quickly turned to shock when the woman before him began to speak German and accuse him of being a dirty man. To his horror, she pulled off a latex mask to reveal that she was Liesl Obrecht.

Meanwhile, the real Anna Devane approached the front desk at the prison and showed the guard her identification.

10/11 At Steinmauer Maximum Security Prison in Geneva, Switzerland, Faison was horrified when he realized that the woman that he had kissed was not Anna. Liesl pulled off the latex mask with disgust as she spat a German insult at Faison. Faison was furious that Liesl had deceived him.

Meanwhile, Anna approached the guard's desk to show her identification and inform the guard that the WSB had cleared her to see Faison. The guard was puzzled because his records indicated that Anna had signed in thirty minutes earlier. Anna pointed out that it was impossible because she had just arrived, so she suggested that perhaps it had been a clerical error. The guard insisted that they were not in the habit of making mistakes at Steinmauer. Anna argued that an imposter had signed in, so she marched to the interrogation room with the intention of exposing the culprit. The guard immediately blocked her from entering the room, but Anna insisted that it was a matter of life or death that she question Faison, so she needed to get to the bottom of things. The guard ordered Anna to wait while he checked with his supervisor. Anna agreed to give the guard ten minutes to get everything straightened out.

At Steinmauer, Anna answered a call from Duke. He asked how Robert was doing and then told Anna about Olivia's vision. Anna hoped that Duke had told Olivia that the vision had been insane, so he assured her that he had. Anna promised Duke that she would not kiss Faison. "That's repulsive," Anna added. Duke pointed out that it was also impossible because Anna was at the clinic with Robert. Anna was forced to admit that she was at Steinmauer to question Faison about something that Robert had recalled. Duke wanted details, but Anna explained that she couldn't discuss it. However, she assured Duke that the prison was a high-security facility, so she was perfectly safe.

After Anna ended the call with Duke, the guard returned to inform her that he had talked to the guard who had personally escorted Anna Devane into the interrogation room. Anna insisted that the guard had been mistaken because she was Anna Devane. She decided to put an end to the confusion by confronting the person who had impersonated her. Anna turned to enter the interrogation room just as Liesl, disguised at Anna, exited the room.

Sabrina entered Patrick's office. Startled, Patrick dropped the tickets, so Sabrina stepped forward to help him pick them up. She saw the tickets to Paris and assumed that they were a surprise for her upcoming birthday. Patrick looked pained as Sabrina smiled with joy and promised to pretend that she had not seen them. Patrick confessed that the tickets were not for her. Sabrina's smile disappeared when Patrick explained that he had bought the plane tickets as a gift for Robin before she had died. Sabrina was mortified when Patrick revealed that it was Robin's birthday, so she quickly apologized for jumping to the wrong conclusion and then tried to make an excuse to leave. Patrick asked Sabrina to wait because he wanted her to understand why he had been looking at the tickets. Patrick assured Sabrina that he was ready to move forward, but he had been thinking a lot about Robin lately. He admitted that he had talked to Elizabeth about it and that Elizabeth had suggested that Robin had been on his mind because he knew that it was time for him to let go of the past.

Sabrina was curious what Patrick thought. He admitted that he wasn't certain that he would ever fully accept that Robin had died, so Sabrina reminded him that it was a process. Patrick felt bad because he knew that it wasn't fair to Sabrina, but she argued that it wasn't about her. She promised him that she understood that he needed to grieve, so he told her that she was amazing. Patrick confessed that he wanted to plan trips with Sabrina, but first he needed to let go of the past. Sabrina was surprised when he ripped up the plane tickets and then dropped them into a wastepaper basket. Sabrina assured him that it hadn't been necessary, but Patrick explained that he had done it for himself because he wanted to make plans with her. Sabrina smiled and told him that she loved him. He assured her that he felt the same, so Sabrina confessed that she had always wanted to go to Rome.

Jerry entered the laboratory to find out why Robin had demanded his presence. Robin assured Jerry that he would not die of polonium poisoning because she had the cure. She held up the vial of lifesaving serum as she demanded that he hold up his end the bargain. Jerry warned Robin that it would not be that easy because he needed to make certain that the elixir wouldn't kill him. Robin reminded Jerry that he had recently pointed out that she was not a murderer, but he argued that he had said that before she had tried to kill Dr. Obrecht.

Robin didn't know how to prove that she was telling the truth about the serum. "I do," Jerry replied. He explained that he intended to test the serum on someone. Horrified, Robin offered to take the serum herself to show him that it wouldn't kill him. Jerry argued that her HIV cocktail might protect her from the side effects of the serum. Robin wondered if he intended to poison someone with polonium to test out the drug.

"Oh, you do think the worst of me," Jerry groused. He revealed that he already had someone stashed in one of the bedrooms who had been exposed to the deadly toxin. Jerry explained that he intended to give the patient just enough of the drug to make certain that it wouldn't kill Jerry and then Jerry would inject himself with the remainder of the serum.

Disgusted, Robin realized that Jerry intended to allow the other patient to die. Jerry was unrepentant as he confided that the man's illness was advanced, so it was likely that the man would die sooner rather than later. Robin wanted to know who the man was, but Jerry refused to tell her. Robin shifted gears by requesting that Jerry provide her with a sample of his blood. She explained that she would be able to confirm that the serum had worked by comparing the blood sample to a second blood sample taken after Jerry had been injected with the drug.

Jerry agreed, so Robin helped him take off his jacket. Jerry was surprised by her eagerness, so she reminded him that she wanted to get home to her family. Jerry balked when she approached him with a needle, but she pointed out that she couldn't kill him with an empty syringe. Jerry conceded that she was right, so he sat down and allowed her to draw a blood sample.

Afterwards, Jerry collected the vial of serum and left. The baby began to cry, so Robin picked him up and confided that Jerry was a bad man even though Jerry was charming at times. Robin feared that Jerry might not hold up his end the bargain because she knew too much, but then scolded herself for thinking like that. Robin suddenly noticed that Jerry had left his jacket behind with a cell phone in it.

In Luke's bedroom, Tracy heard Jerry's approach, so she quickly took her place by the door and carefully kept her head down. Jerry barely noticed her as he entered the room and dismissed her. Tracy stepped into the hallway, but kept a close eye on Jerry as Jerry held up the vial and announce that it was the cure. "The moment of truth," Jerry said as he extracted a small amount of the serum from the vial with a syringe. Jerry tucked the vial into his back pocket and then leaned down to inject Luke, but Tracy walked up behind Jerry, pressed a gun to his back, and then ordered Jerry to hand over the vial.

In the lab, Robin held up the cell phone and walked around until the phone received a signal. She quickly dialed a number. In Patrick's office, Patrick's cell phone rang. He noticed that it was a blocked number but answered the call.

10/14 On Cassadine Island, Tracy got the drop on Jerry and forced him to give her the vial containing the antidote. Jerry quipped that Tracy would not kill him in cold blood, but both Tracy and Luke assured Jerry that Tracy would shoot him because Tracy held Jerry responsible for both Alan and Edward's deaths. Tracy ordered Jerry to fill the syringe. Luke held the gun on Jerry while Tracy injected Luke with the cure. Tracy took the gun back, and then shot Jerry in the shoulder when he lunged for Luke. Despite threats from Jerry that the guards would kill Tracy and Luke before they could get away, Luke and Tracy locked Jerry in the bedroom where Luke had been held, and they took off.

In the lab, Robin found Jerry's cell phone and called Patrick. Static marred the connection, and Patrick was only able to understand Robin's name before the connection was lost and Jerry's phone battery died. Robin got a thirty-second recharge using a baby blanket to create static electricity, a trick she had learned from Maxie. As Robin assured the baby that Patrick would soon find them and tried to call Patrick again, Jerry burst into the lab and said that the cure had been stolen from him. He ordered Robin to make another dose. When Robin demanded to be let go, Jerry said that their deal still stood. He would let Robin go when she completed the cure, and if Jerry died, Robin died.

In his office at General Hospital, Patrick could not believe his ears when he received a garbled call from Robin. When the connection was lost, Patrick tried unsuccessfully to get it back. Outside, Sabrina and Felix discussed Carlos and his attempts to derail the romance between Patrick and Sabrina. Felix encouraged Sabrina to look at Patrick's actions in a positive light, but Sabrina feared that every time Patrick took one step forward, he took one step back. Sabrina perked up when Felix suggested that Puerto Rico would be the perfect place for Sabina and Patrick to have an adventure and start new memories together. Sabrina's joy was short-lived, when an obviously distraught Patrick burst out of his office and told her that he had just had a call from Robin and had to tell Anna. Sabrina tried to convince Patrick that it was his imagination playing tricks, but Patrick insisted that he had heard Robin's voice as Sabrina held him and comforted him.

At the Swiss prison, Dr. Obrecht, wearing an Anna mask, left Faison's cell, and Anna and a prison guard confronted her. Both Anna and Dr. Obrecht pulled guns and insisted that they were the real Anna Devane. Anna was stunned, as was the prison guard who ordered both women to put down their guns. Both women appeared to comply, but when Anna let go of her gun, Dr. Obrecht shot the prison guard. Dr. Obrecht missed Anna, who ducked, and after a physical fight, Anna clocked Dr. Obrecht and removed her mask. Faison left his cell and complimented Anna on getting the best of Dr. Obrecht. Anna begged Faison to tell her if Robin was alive. Faison finally admitted that he had taken Robin as part of his plot to return her in his guise as Duke so that Anna would finally love Faison. Anna begged Faison to tell her where Robin was being held. He was about to relent when Dr. Obrecht recovered and knocked Anna out. Faison stopped Dr. Obrecht from killing Anna. Faison wanted to stay with Anna, but Dr. Obrecht pointed out that Faison finally had the heir he wanted and that the future was with Dr. Obrecht and his grandson, not with Anna. When a guard eventually revived Anna, Faison and Dr. Obrecht had escaped.

10/17 At the nurses' station, Patrick called Duke to find out if Anna was in town. Duke admitted that he had no idea when Anna would return from Switzerland because she had been "dealing with a situation." Patrick asked if it was serious, so Duke reminded Patrick that Anna could handle herself. Patrick agreed and then asked Duke to let Anna know that Patrick needed to talk to Anna about something important. Sabrina walked up in time to catch the last part of Patrick's conversation, so she asked him if he intended to tell Anna about the phone call from Robin.

Later, Sabrina handed Patrick a cup of coffee as a peace offering, but he assured her that it wasn't necessary because he had called Duke to let Anna know that Robin had called. Sabrina reminded Patrick that they had agreed that it would be wrong to get Anna's hopes up over nothing, but Patrick couldn't discount the phone call because he was certain that Robin had called him. Sabrina suggested that perhaps Patrick had merely heard what he had wanted because it had been Robin's birthday and his thoughts had been on his late wife.

Patrick was adamant that he knew Robin's voice and pointed out that he had irrefutable proof that someone had called him. Sabrina argued that it could have been a prank call, but Patrick couldn't imagine a kid calling from a blocked number to pretend to be Robin. Sabrina conceded that it was unlikely, but she insisted that it couldn't have been Robin because Robin had died. Patrick wondered who would have a reason to call him, pretending to be Robin. Sabrina insisted that there had to be an explanation and then suddenly tensed. She quickly changed the subject by claiming that she had promised to meet Felix, so she promised to catch up with Patrick later. She kissed Patrick and then asked him not to let the phone call get to him because Robin had loved him and would not want that.

In Lucerne, Switzerland, Robert limped around the room with the aid of a cane as Mac watched. Robert was eager to leave the clinic, but Mac suspected that Robert was frustrated because Mac had shown Robert the video of Robin's funeral. Robert insisted that he had needed to watch the video, so Mac asked why Robert was so ticked off. Robert recalled Anna warning Robert not to tell anyone that Robin might be alive, so he carefully explained that he was worried about Anna.

Mac pointed out that Anna could hold her own in the field, so Mac wanted to know what was really going on. Robert appeared on the verge of telling his brother about Robin when Anna suddenly appeared in the doorway. Robert cryptically asked Anna if she had talked to "the thing" about "the thing." Mac assured Robert and Anna that it wasn't necessary to talk in code in front of him. Mac claimed that Robert had filled him in, so Mac offered to help in any way that he could. Anna relaxed when she realized that Mac had been referring to the search for Liesl Obrecht, not Robin, so Anna assured Mac that she had things well in hand. Mac sensed that Anna was eager to talk to Robert in private, so he decided to check in with Felicia.

After Mac left, Anna closed the door and then revealed that Faison had confirmed that Robin was alive. Robert smiled with relief, but Anna warned him that Faison couldn't be trusted because Faison would say anything to get inside of Anna's head. She feared that Faison had simply confirmed that Robin was alive because it was what Anna had wanted to hear. Robert insisted that Anna had Robert's word for it, so Faison's confirmation hadn't been necessary. Robert assured Anna that he had seen their daughter and that Robin had looked directly into Robert's eyes as Liesl had taken their daughter out of the clinic. Anna was forced to break the news to Robert that Faison had escaped with Liesl before Anna could find out where Robin was.

Moments later, Nikolas called to get an update from Anna. Anna told Nikolas about Faison's escape but admitted that she had no idea where Faison and Liesl had disappeared to. Nikolas told Anna about Liesl's video message and Nikolas' suspicions that Liesl was hiding out on Cassadine Island. Anna assured Nikolas that she would investigate the island immediately, so Nikolas admitted that he had already landed in Greece. Anna reminded Nikolas that Faison and Liesl were dangerous, so she ordered Nikolas and Britt to remain in Athens until they heard from Anna. After Anna ended the call with Nikolas, she told Robert about Nikolas' suspicions. Robert insisted on leaving right away, but Anna objected because Robert hadn't fully recovered from being in a coma. Robert made it clear that he would go with or without Anna.

Moments later, Mac returned. Mac sensed that something was going on, but Robert and Anna refused to tell him about the possibility that Robin might be alive. Mac seemed resigned to being left in the dark, so he revealed that he had to return to Port Charles because there was a problem with Maxie. Anna and Robert expressed concern for Maxie, so Mac assured them that everything would be fine. After Mac left, Anna tried to dissuade Robert from going to Cassadine Island, but Robert refused to let their daughter slip through his fingers for a second time.

In the laboratory, Robin paced the floor because she didn't have any idea where to begin to make a new batch of medicine in time to save Jerry. Robin picked up the baby and admitted that she didn't have any reason to believe that Jerry wouldn't carry out his threat to kill her, so she was worried about what would become of the baby. She placed the baby back into the pram as the door opened. "My God, Mom?" Robin asked in shock as Anna appeared in the doorway. Anna smiled and then ran to embrace her daughter. Robin tearfully hugged her mother as Anna warned her that they had to move fast because there wasn't much time. Robin smiled with relief until Anna began to laugh.

"Do you think I'm here to save you, little twit?" Liesl Obrecht whispered into Robin's ear. Robin watched in horror as Liesl ripped the mask off and cackled that she hadn't been able to resist pulling the prank on Robin. Furious, Robin demanded to know where Jerry was, so Liesl revealed that he was recovering from a gunshot. Robin wondered if Liesl intended to kidnap Anna and then pass herself off as Robin's mother. Liesl laughed at the suggestion and then revealed that she had needed the mask to "procure" someone else. "Who?" Robin asked. "That would be me," Faison said as he stepped into the room.

Robin was visibly shaken when she saw Faison, so ordered him to stay away from her. Robin turned to Liesl and glared at the evil doctor with disgust because she couldn't believe that Liesl had helped a "psychopath" like Faison escape from jail. Liesl smiled with satisfaction as she made her way to the pram to retrieve her grandson, so he could meet Faison. Faison happily took the crying baby from Liesl and cooed to his grandson that they would accomplish many things together. Liesl insisted that the baby was the spitting image of his "Opa."

Robin was stunned when she realized that Faison was the baby's grandfather. Liesl confirmed that Faison was Britta's father, so Robin wondered if Patrick knew. Liesl was tired of answering Robin's questions, but she admitted that Patrick hadn't known about Britta's lineage. Faison played with his grandson as Liesl smiled with pride. She wondered if Faison regretted leaving with her. Faison confessed that he didn't, but he wished that it hadn't been at Anna's expense. Robin demanded to know what they were talking about. To Liesl's frustration, Faison filled Robin in on what had transpired at Steinmauer.

Robin was excited when she realized that her father had woken up from the coma and that both of her parents knew that she was alive. Liesl pointed out that Robert and Anna had no idea where Robin was, but Robin insisted that her parents would find her and that they would make Liesl and Faison pay. Liesl suggested that she and Faison take the baby to a more private setting, so Faison could get to know his grandson. Robin warned Liesl that nothing would stop Robert and Anna from finding Robin. "We'll see," Liesl snarled and then followed Faison and the baby out of the lab. Robin banged on the door and demanded to be let out, but the door remained closed.

10/18 At the Drake residence, Elizabeth wiped down the table as Patrick arrived home. Patrick felt bad that he had asked Elizabeth to babysit on her day off, but she assured him that she hadn't minded because Cam and Aiden were visiting her sister, Sarah. Elizabeth filled Patrick in about her evening with Emma, which had included a game that Emma had been competitive about. Patrick chuckled and confided that Emma always went easy on Sabrina when they played the game, so Elizabeth suspected that it was because Emma adored Sabrina. Elizabeth sensed that something was troubling Patrick, so he told her about the phone call from Robin. She pointed out that what he had described was improbable because Robin had died. Patrick agreed, but he admitted that it had hit him like a ton of bricks to hear Robin's voice, so he couldn't seem to let the incident go.

Elizabeth confessed that she knew firsthand how grief could make a person believe things that weren't real because she had gone through something similar after Jake had died. She told Patrick about a time that she had seen Jake in the grocery store and then admitted that the visions had continued. Patrick was curious how she had moved on, so she credited Cam. Elizabeth explained that she had called out Jake's name one too many times, and Cam had finally been forced to remind his mother that Jake was gone. Elizabeth had realized that holding on to Jake hadn't been fair to Cam or Aiden. Patrick added that it hadn't been fair to her either. Elizabeth agreed and told Patrick that he couldn't keep expecting Robin to walk through the door because it was beyond Robin's capabilities. "Robin's not coming back," Elizabeth gently reminded him.

Later, Patrick walked Elizabeth to the door and thanked her for sharing her story about Jake. Elizabeth explained that she hadn't wanted Patrick to feel alone, so Patrick admitted that it had helped him put things into perspective. Elizabeth urged Patrick to think about what Robin would want for him and then left. Patrick returned to the living room and fetched a DVD, which he put in the laptop's disk drive. Moments later, Robin's image filled the screen as she implored Patrick to find a way to be happy again. She reminded him that their daughter was still young, so she wanted Emma to grow up in a happy home. Robin begged Patrick to honor her memory by opening his heart to another woman. Robin was confident that there was a woman out there for Patrick who would love him and love their daughter as her own.

Patrick quickly closed the laptop when he heard Sabrina open the front door and walk in. Sabrina apologized for being late but tensed when she sensed that something was troubling Patrick. Patrick assured Sabrina that everything was finally right and then took both of her hands in his. "Patrick, what's wrong?" Sabrina asked with concern. "Marry me," Patrick replied.

In the laboratory, Robin worked furiously to try to develop another dose of serum for Jerry, but she knew that it was a fruitless endeavor because she would not be able to formulate it in time to save Jerry. She prayed that her parents found her before Jerry carried out his threat to kill her. Moments later, the door opened. Robin looked up expectantly, but Jerry entered the room. Robin immediately began examining Jerry to determine how advanced the radiation poisoning was, but Jerry pulled away from her when he noticed that the baby was missing. He demanded to know where the baby was, so Robin sarcastically explained that the baby had decided to escape through a duct. Jerry was not amused, prompting Robin to ask why he cared. Jerry avoided the question by accusing Robin of not caring about the baby because the baby wasn't her child. He suspected that Robin wanted the baby out of the way, so she could focus on her other competition. "Nurse Santiago," Jerry added.

Robin agreed that she wanted to get back to Patrick and Emma as well as the rest of the life that Jerry had ripped her away from. Jerry reminded Robin that it hadn't been personal; she had been a means to an end. Robin wasn't interested in hearing his justification because she wanted to get back to work on the serum without any interruptions from Jerry, Liesl, or Faison. Jerry was surprised when he heard Faison's name, so Robin told him that Liesl had helped Faison escape from Steinmauer and had collected the baby. Jerry was furious because he was certain that WSB wouldn't be far behind Liesl and Faison. Robin warned Jerry that the cavalry might have arrived already, but Jerry warned Robin that no one would save her. Robin smirked because he had underestimated her parents.

Jerry assured Robin that Robert and Anna were not on the island. Jerry decided that it was time for him to go home to visit his mother and brother one last time. Robin was hopeful that Jerry would let her go, but Jerry quickly clarified that he intended to carry out his threat. He pulled out a gun and aimed it at Robin, so Robin quickly revealed that she could still save him. Jerry didn't believe her, but Robin explained that the person who had taken the dose of serum could carry the antidote in their bloodstream. Robin was stunned when Jerry revealed that Luke Spencer had taken the serum and had left the island with Tracy Quartermaine. Robin wondered if they had been on the island, looking for her, so Jerry clarified that Luke had been searching for the cure because Helena Cassadine had exposed Luke to polonium.

Jerry decided to go to Port Charles to collect Luke's blood and then to kill the man, but Robin explained that one transfusion would not be enough to save Jerry, so they needed Luke alive. Robin insisted that it would be best if she went with Jerry to Port Charles. Jerry agreed to mull it over, but he had other matters to attend to first. Robin warned Jerry that time was of the essence. Moments later, Nikolas, armed with a gun, cautiously made his way into the outer chamber of the lab. He saw the light on in the lab, so he decided to check it out. Nikolas opened the door, but froze when he saw Robin standing in the lab. Robin turned and stared in shock at Nikolas.

10/21 Anna and Robert arrived on Cassadine Island and found Dr. Obrecht, who was unconscious. Robert woke her. When Anna tried to find out about Robin, Dr Obrecht denied that Robin was alive and instead ranted about Faison's rejection and about how Faison had refused to make love to Dr. Obrecht unless she wore the Anna mask. Anna used Dr. Obrecht's hurt to her advantage as she stoked Dr. Obrecht's desire for revenge against Faison. She also encouraged Dr. Obrecht's love for her daughter, Britt, and used it to find out where Dr. Obrecht had hidden baby Ben. Dr. Obrecht relented and sent Anna and Robert to the lab, but not before Robert knocked Dr. Obrecht out again.

Both Robin and Nikolas were stunned speechless when Nikolas opened the lab door. Robin quickly told Nikolas how Jerry Jacks had faked her death. Nikolas told Robin that Patrick had not sent him, but he was there to locate Britt's baby, Ben. He also told Robin that Ben was not Patrick's son and that Britt had lied about the baby's paternity. Nikolas wanted to leave Robin in the lab for her own safety, but she refused to be shut up there again and insisted on going with him. Sabrina was stunned by Patrick's marriage proposal. Patrick said that he was clumsy but sincere. Sabrina wondered what had changed in the few hours since Patrick had been convinced that he had received a phone call from Robin. Patrick said that he had spoken with Elizabeth, who had shared what had happened to her after Jake’s death. Elizabeth had told of how she had kept seeing her son and had wanted him to be alive, even though she had known that he was dead.

Patrick said that he had suddenly realized that he had been doing the same thing. Patrick added that even though he had received a phone call, there had to be some other explanation than that Robin was alive. Sabrina admitted that she had gone to Carlos and accused him of making a prank call, but he had denied it. She was unsure if Carlos had been telling the truth. Sabrina wondered if Carlos was the reason that Patrick was proposing. Sabrina told Patrick that he could take the proposal back if he wanted to. Patrick said absolutely not. Patrick added that he had been wallowing in grief and had not known how he could make it another day when Sabrina had entered his life and had brightened it. Patrick told Sabrina that she had made Patrick and Emma smile and had made him realize that he could have a life without Robin. Patrick got on his knees and told Sabrina that he loved her and wanted a family with Sabrina and Emma. Sabrina was crying as Patrick proposed again, and she accepted.

Robert and Anna got to the lab, but Robin was not there. They were disappointed until Anna found a photo of Patrick and Emma on Robin's laptop computer. Nikolas and Robin found Dr. Obrecht, who was still unconscious. Nikolas gave Robin a gun as he went hunting for Faison. Robin told Dr. Obrecht that she had won and was finally going home. Nikolas found Faison and Britt, who were struggling. Nikolas pointed his gun and demanded that Faison let Britt go.

10/22 Mac was startled when Maxie blamed herself for Robin's tragic death. He argued that Maxie hadn't been to blame, but Maxie disagreed because she had been so wrapped up in her own problems that she had yanked her purse strap free and broken the valve that had subsequently caused the deadly explosion. Maxie insisted that Robin wouldn't have died if Maxie had taken the time to properly pick up the purse. Mac insisted that it had been an accident, but Maxie remained unconvinced.

Mac reminded Maxie that Robin would not want Maxie to blame herself for the explosion, so Maxie admitted that she would give anything to have a few minutes with Robin because she could use Robin's sage advice. Mac gently reminded Maxie that they had to accept that Robin was gone and that nothing could return Robin to them.

At the Drake residence, Patrick kissed Sabrina after she happily accepted his proposal of marriage. He credited her with teaching him to love again, so he was eager to spend the rest of his life with her. Sabrina couldn't wait to share the news, especially with Felix, but Patrick asked her to wait because he wanted to buy Sabrina an engagement ring first. Patrick promised to take Sabrina ring shopping the following day, so Sabrina hugged and kissed him.

Emma appeared in the doorway and asked why Patrick and Sabrina were celebrating. Patrick picked up his daughter and asked her why she wasn't in bed. Emma admitted that the shadows on her bedroom wall had frightened her, but then repeated her earlier question. Patrick and Sabrina decided to share their news with Emma, so they sat the little girl down on the sofa. Patrick explained that he and Sabrina loved each other very much, so he was curious if Emma loved Sabrina. Emma smiled and hugged Sabrina to assure her father that she did. Satisfied, Patrick told Emma that he and Sabrina had decided to get married because they wanted to spend the rest of their lives being a family with Emma.

"What about Mommy?" Emma asked as her smile faded. Emma pointed out that Patrick was married to Robin, so Patrick explained that he wasn't married because Robin had gone to Heaven. Emma was curious if that was why he had taken off his wedding ring, so Patrick nodded. However, he assured Emma that she would get her mother's wedding ring one day. Sabrina asked if anything else was troubling Emma, so Emma admitted that she was afraid that her mother would be sad. Patrick confided that Robin had wanted him to find someone to love who would also love Emma, so he was certain that Robin would be happy. Sabrina admitted that she didn't want to get married without Emma's blessing, so Emma assured Sabrina that she okay with the wedding. Relieved, Sabrina hugged Emma and then snuggled on the sofa with father and daughter to make wedding plans.

On Cassadine Island, Anna was certain that Robin had been in the laboratory because the computer's screensaver was a snapshot of Patrick and Emma. Robert and Anna headed to the door, but Jerry Jacks suddenly appeared and blocked their path. Robert and Anna immediately aimed their guns at Jerry as Jerry took aim at Robert. Jerry recognized the Scorpios, so Anna demanded to know where Robin was. Jerry mused that they were in a standoff, so he refused to answer Anna's questions.
