Robin & Patrick #21 November 26, 2013 - May 13, 2014: 9 hour original edit on 3 dvds

DVD #21A11/26 Elizabeth arrived at Patrick's house to take him to the church. Patrick complimented her outfit and admitted that she looked better without the sunglasses. Elizabeth sensed that something was troubling Patrick when she noticed him fidgeting with his bow tie, so she asked him what was wrong. "Robin," he admitted.

Patrick told Elizabeth about Ava's visit and Carlos' claim that Robin was alive. Elizabeth insisted that it was Carlos' sick way of torturing Patrick to get Patrick to postpone the wedding. Patrick conceded that he had thought the same thing, but Ava's parting words had struck a chord, so he was tempted to follow up on Carlos' story. Elizabeth warned Patrick not to undermine his future by chasing after a ghost an hour before his wedding.

Later, Elizabeth was startled when she opened Patrick's door and saw Epiphany. Epiphany was equally surprised to see Elizabeth "vertical" after the previous evening's events. "Girlfriend, you can definitely throw a bachelor party," Epiphany added with a chuckle. Epiphany burst out laughing when Elizabeth admitted that she hadn't realized that Epiphany had been at the party.

Elizabeth groaned with embarrassment when Epiphany pulled out her cell phone to show Elizabeth the pictures that Epiphany had snapped. Elizabeth was horrified when she saw a picture of herself drinking out of a shoe, so she begged Epiphany to delete the humiliating snapshots. Epiphany agreed to zap the photos after the wedding and promised not to hold Elizabeth's antics against Elizabeth at work. "Much," Epiphany added with a big grin.

Epiphany switched gears to ask where Patrick was, so Elizabeth filled Epiphany in about Carlo's claim. Epiphany reminded Elizabeth that Robin's remains had been found, so Elizabeth suggested that Patrick simply needed some peace of mind. Epiphany hoped that someone in the lab would give it to Patrick. Moments later, Epiphany and Elizabeth decided to head to the church. The phone began to ring as they left, but Epiphany insisted that Elizabeth let the answering machine pick it up.

In the hospital lab, Britt and Brad looked up when Patrick suddenly appeared in the doorway. Patrick snidely asked if Brad had finally taken an interest in Britt's son, so Britt quickly changed the subject by asking why Patrick was there. Patrick pulled out his cell phone to show Brad a picture of Robin as he asked if Brad had seen Robin in the lab. Britt tensed until Brad carefully explained that he had been hired after Robin's death. Britt was curious why Patrick had asked about Robin, so Patrick revealed that someone had spotted Robin in the lab. Britt suggested that Patrick was there because he was having second thoughts about marrying Sabrina.

Patrick refused to discuss his wedding with Britt, but Britt urged Patrick to reconsider marrying Sabrina if he was still stuck on Robin. Patrick assured Britt that he didn't have any doubts about marrying Sabrina, so he decided to head to the church because his fiancée was waiting for him and his wife was gone. "Except, I'm not so sure she is," Brad quietly said after Patrick left.

At the apartment, Sabrina was getting ready when Emma ran into the living room and announced that there might not be a wedding. Emma explained that she had overheard Felix using a lot of bad words while he worked to alter Sabrina's wedding gown, so Emma feared that the alterations hadn't gone well. Sabrina explained that Felix's sewing machine had a tendency to eat thread, so Felix was just expressing his frustration.

Emma feared that Felix would not get the dress done in time, so Sabrina assured Emma that nothing would stop Sabrina from marrying Patrick. Sabrina promised Emma that she, Emma, and Patrick would be a family by the end of the day. Moments later, Felix emerged from the bedroom to announce that he had successfully completed the alterations on the wedding dress. Pleased, Emma insisted that they gather the "four somethings" to ensure that Sabrina's day was filled with good luck.

Felix pointed out that Sabrina's mother's wedding dress was something old and something new, so Emma decided to lend Sabrina the ribbon in Emma's hair. Finally, Felix, Emma, and Sabrina tried to find something blue for Sabrina to wear. Sabrina revealed that she had a turquoise necklace that Carlos had given her, but Felix nixed the idea of Sabrina wearing turquoise from an ex-boyfriend on her wedding day. Sabrina suggested that she go without a blue item, but Emma was adamant that they not risk something bad happening to Sabrina.

At Wyndemere, Anna asked Robert if he had found Robin. "See for yourself," Robert answered as he looked toward the doorway. Anna turned and saw her daughter standing on the threshold of the parlor. Tears filled both Anna and Robin's eyes as mother and daughter stared at each other. Anna and Robin ran into each other's arms as Anna recalled another heartwarming reunion with her daughter when Robin had been much younger.

Robert watched as Anna and Robin shared an emotional reunion. Robin told her mother how frightening her ordeal had been, so Anna vowed never to lose Robin again. Anna hugged her daughter as Robin tearfully mouthed "I love you" to Robert. Robert joined Anna and Robin for a family hug. Anna confessed that Robin was the greatest gift that Anna had ever been given and then thanked Robert for persuading Anna to search for their daughter. Anna confessed to Robin that Robert had been a true hero, but Robert insisted that he couldn't have found Robin without Anna's help. Moments later, Duke emerged from the secret passage. His face lit with joy when he saw Robin. Robin ran to Duke's waiting arms and hugged him.

Later, Anna assured Robin that Robin could finally return home to Emma and Patrick. However, Anna warned Robin that it would be a shock because Anna had been reluctant to raise Patrick's hopes by telling him that Robin might be alive. Robin showed her mother the invitation and explained that Patrick and Sabrina intended to marry later that day. Anna insisted that Robin had to get to Patrick before the wedding, but Robin refused to go anywhere until she knew where Nikolas was. Anna explained that Faison had knocked Nikolas out, so they weren't sure where Faison had taken him.

Later, Robert and Duke returned to the parlor to report that they hadn't found any sign of Nikolas. Robert decided to question Faison, so Duke offered to accompany him. Duke took one step and then began to sway. Anna rushed to Duke's side and helped him to the sofa. Anna suggested that Duke stay with Robin while Anna went with Robert to question Faison.

After Robert and Anna left, Duke noticed the invitation, so he asked what it was. Robin told him about Patrick's wedding, so Duke pointed out that she was finally free. He insisted that Robin call Patrick and then handed her a cell phone. Robin called Patrick at home, but the answering machine picked up, so she explained to Patrick that she was alive and on her way home. Moments later, Anna and Robert returned to announce that Faison and Luke had also disappeared.

At the apartment, Sabrina suggested that Emma go to Sabrina's bedroom to pick out a new ribbon to replace the one that Sabrina had borrowed. After Emma scampered off, Felix asked what was troubling Sabrina. Sabrina reminded Felix that she had dropped off Ellie's wedding invitation in the lab and that Carlos claimed to have seen Robin in the lab, so Sabrina suspected that Robin had taken the wedding invitation. Felix assured Sabrina that it wasn't possible.

11/27 At the chapel where Sabrina and Patrick were preparing to wed, Elizabeth found Patrick along with Epiphany, who told Patrick that he looked very good in a tux. Epiphany also complimented Patrick because he had not let Carlos' claim that Robin was alive stall his wedding to Sabrina. Patrick gave his sincere thanks to Epiphany for helping him through some very tough times after Robin's death. Epiphany told Patrick that she was happy for him because he had found love again with Sabina.

Felix arrived at the chapel dressing room with Sabrina's gown. Emma worried that they would have bad luck if Ellie did not get there with something blue. Lucy arrived, and when Felix tried to give her the script, Lucy broke into tears and said that she could not perform the ceremony because her marriage was over. She explained that Lucy and Kevin had had yet another fight caused when Kevin had attended to a patient instead of attending an event with her. Felix told Lucy that she had survived worse and gave her a pep talk. Lucy brightened up and took the script. When Emma mentioned something blue again, Lucy gave Emma the soggy blue handkerchief that she had been using to blow her nose and dry her tears. Emma, Felix, and Sabrina handled it gingerly. Lucy left, and Patrick appeared at the door and said that he needed some time alone with Sabrina.

Felix took Emma away. Patrick told Sabrina that he had heard the rumor that Robin was alive. Sabrina thought that he would be mad because she had not told him about Carlos, but Patrick said he understood. Patrick explained that he had gone to the lab for answers and had realized that he knew the truth. Patrick said that when he left the lab, he had closed the door on his old life and could not wait to start a new one with Sabrina. Patrick told Sabrina to get dressed because he loved her and wanted to be her husband.

Britt burst into Wyndemere and announced that she had the cure. She was surprised to see Anna with Robert and Robin. Robert what sarcastic when he learned that Britt's parents were Faison and Dr. Obrecht. Britt said dryly that it was not great for her either. She asked if Faison had been caught and her mother found. Anna said that Duke was taking Britt's mother to the slammer, and Faison had Nikolas.

Robin wanted to help search, but Robert and Anna ordered Robin and Britt to stay put while they dealt with Faison. Britt told Robin that she had just seen Patrick in the lab, and she knew that Patrick had doubts about marrying Sabrina. Robin told Britt that Patrick loved Sabrina. Britt said that would change if Patrick knew that Robin was still alive.

Luke had a gun on Faison and forced him to take Luke to the tack room where Faison was holding Nikolas. One of Faison's men was beating Nikolas when Luke stopped him. Faison thug got the drop on Luke, who was forced to surrender his weapon. Luke tried to negotiate, but Faison said that once he had Anna, he would need only one hostage, and Faison felt that Nikolas had more wealth to offer than Luke. Faison flipped a coin and told Luke that he was about to die.

Robert and Anna overheard Faison and made a plan. Robert sneaked in through another door and hid in a stall while Anna distracted Faison. Anna held out her gun and offered to go away with Faison if he would let the hostages go. Faison said that he could not do that. Anna turned the gun on herself and said that she had nothing to live for because Dr. Obrecht had escaped and killed Robert, Duke, and Robin. Faison lunged for the gun as Anna pulled the trigger. Anna stepped aside and stunned Faison when she hit him in the head with the gun. Robert emerged from hiding and shot both of Faison's men. Anna and Robert subdued Faison and freed Nikolas and Luke, who went to the main house to tell Robin and Britt that they were safe.

Robin searched out her parents, who had secured Faison. Robin gloated when Faison ruefully admitted that Robin had been right about Anna rescuing her. Anna told Robert to get Robin to the mainland so that she could let Patrick know that she was alive while Anna took care of Faison. Faison remained delusional that Anna really loved him, no matter how much she denied it. When Faison said that no matter where she put him, he would be back, Anna told Faison that he was a blight on her life. When Robert returned, he told Anna that Robin was on her way to the church, and he was ready to hand Faison over to the WSB. Anna said no. She told Robert that the only place for Faison was hell and that "this time," Faison had to die.

2/4 At the nurses' station, Sabrina confessed to Patrick that she had lied to him when she had claimed that her baby's father was Carlos. "It's yours," Sabrina admitted. Patrick was stunned. "What did you say?" Patrick asked.

"Patrick, you are my baby's father," Sabrina tearfully revealed. Sabrina explained that she had never slept with Carlos, so Patrick demanded to know why she had lied. Sabrina reminded Patrick that he had made his choice, and it hadn't been her. Stunned, Patrick couldn't believe that Sabrina had lied to punish him for choosing Robin.

Sabrina rushed to assure Patrick that she had understood why he had decided to go back to his wife, but Sabrina had kept quiet about the baby's paternity because Sabrina hadn't wanted to be like Britt and use the baby against Patrick. Sabrina had also been reluctant to make things more difficult for Patrick and Robin. Patrick was curious if Sabrina had ever intended to tell him about the baby, so Sabrina confessed that she had planned to leave town without ever telling him. Patrick was hurt that Sabrina would do that to him.

The silence stretched until Sabrina nervously asked Patrick to say something. Patrick was curious what she wanted him to say because he had no idea what to believe after being told so many lies about babies in recent months. Sabrina insisted that she would never lie to him about being the baby's father because she knew how much Britt's lie had hurt him. Patrick pointed out that Sabrina had been willing to lie to keep the baby from him, but Sabrina argued that she hadn't been able to keep the lie going. She assured him that she was deeply sorry, but Emma ran up to greet her father before Patrick could reply.

Patrick quietly took Emma's backpack from Elizabeth as he explained that he and Emma needed to get home to Robin and then left. Sabrina's eyes filled with tears as she revealed that she had told Patrick the truth about the baby. Elizabeth was curious how Patrick had taken the news. Sabrina admitted that Patrick had been shocked. However, Sabrina was worried how Robin would take the news.

At the Drake residence, Victor showed Robin a picture of Jason, but Robin insisted that Jason was dead. Victor pointed out that there had been a time when everyone had said the same thing about Robin, yet she was alive and back with her family and friends. Victor advised Robin to listen carefully if she valued her friendship with Jason, but Robin refused to allow Victor to manipulate her by exploiting her memories of Jason.

Victor explained that Jason had been reportedly shot to death by Faison, who had been wearing a prosthetic mask of Duke Lavery at the time. Victor revealed that Faison had kicked Jason's body into the harbor, but Faison's men had fished Jason's body out of the water. According to Victor, Faison had needed to get Jason out of the way to seize control of Sonny's territory. However, Faison had realized that Jason could be an asset in the future.

Robin demanded to know where Jason was. Victor explained that Jason had been taken to the same clinic in Switzerland where Duke Lavery had been kept. Stunned, Robin realized that Jason had supposedly been in the clinic at the same time that she had been there, but she quickly pointed out that the clinic had been thoroughly searched.

Victor confessed that Stavros had been recuperating at the same clinic since 2001, so Liesl Obrecht had been forced to quickly remove the most valuable patients when Robin's parents had arrived to rescue Duke and search the clinic. According to Victor, Liesl had made arrangements for Helena to take Stavros and Jason, while Liesl had handed Robin over to Jerry Jaxs. Victor explained that Stavros and Jason had been transferred to Cassadine Island and that Jason, who had been recovering from the near-fatal gunshot wound, had been put into a cryogenic sleep.

Robin was certain that Victor had simply told her what she had wanted to hear, but Victor assured her that it was the truth. However, Helena and Stavros had ended up in a state similar to Jason's. Victor promised Robin that she would be saving Jason if she helped Helena and Stavros. Robin demanded proof that Jason was in suspended animation. Victor agreed, but one of his men signaled Victor that it was time to leave.

Robin looked at the picture as she told Jason that, with the exception of her parents, the WSB was filled with a bunch of deceitful people and that Nikolas was the only Cassadine who could be trusted. Robin was certain that Victor was trying to manipulate her, but she also knew that Jason would do everything to survive if he had been alive when he had hit the water. Robin realized that as impossible as it might sound, Jason could be alive.

Moments later, Patrick and Emma arrived home. After Emma greeted her mother, Patrick asked Emma to get ready for bed. Patrick waited unto Emma left to room and then revealed that he had something to tell Robin.

2/5 At the Drake residence, Robin was shocked when Patrick confessed that he was the father of Sabrina's baby. Patrick explained that Carlos had lied and that Sabrina had gone along with it because family was important to Sabrina, and Sabrina had respected Patrick and Robin's marriage.

Robin confessed that she didn't blame Sabrina because Sabrina had thought that Sabrina and Patrick would be married, and it was clear that Sabrina had tried to protect Patrick. Patrick sensed that Robin had some questions, so she confessed that she was curious how Patrick felt knowing that the woman he had intended to marry was pregnant with his child.

Patrick quickly apologized for knocking the coffee table over and bent to pick up the scattered items. He was startled when he saw a picture of Jason on the floor. Robin claimed that she had been looking at the photograph because she hadn't had a chance to say goodbye to Jason. Patrick appreciated that Robin had cared deeply for her friend, so he handed the picture to Robin and decided to check on Emma. After Patrick left the room, Robin quietly admitted that she still cared about Jason.

Moments later, Patrick returned to report that their daughter had fallen asleep. Robin was curious if Emma knew about the baby, so Patrick assured Robin that he hadn't told Emma. Robin realized that Emma had been through a lot lately, but she warned Patrick that they would have to break the news to their daughter soon.

2/6 At Wyndemere, Victor spoke to an associate on the phone and instructed the person to let Victor know when Robin was alone. Victor assured the associate that no one knew the real reason that Victor was in Port Charles and then ended the call.

Moments later, Spencer walked up. Victor introduced himself as Spencer's "great-great uncle," prompting Spencer to wonder what was so great about Victor. "Well, I suppose a lot of things, I hope," Victor said with a smile as he reached into his jacket pocket to retrieve a small jeweled Fabergé egg. Spencer wasn't impressed because there were a lot of similar eggs around the castle. Victor explained that the small egg was different because it had the power to win hearts. Victor instructed Spencer to keep the egg until Spencer met the girl of Spencer's dreams and then present it to her because the egg would win the girl's heart. Spencer took the egg as he revealed that he had already met the girl of his dreams.

Moments later, Spencer and Victor entered the parlor. Spencer showed his father the jeweled egg that Victor had given to Spencer. Nikolas was curious if it was one of the Cassadine family heirlooms. "Of course," Victor replied. Britt was stunned because the Fabergé egg was worth a fortune. Victor insisted that Spencer was a Cassadine and deserved only the best, so Spencer quickly added that Emma did too. Nikolas changed the subject by inviting Victor to join them for breakfast, but Victor received a text message and announced that he had to leave.

At the Drake residence, Robin looked at the picture of Jason as she wondered if Victor's claim that Jason was alive could possibly be true. She quickly tucked the picture away as Patrick and Emma entered the living room. Patrick announced that Emma had miraculously agreed to wear the second uniform choice, which meant that Emma would have time to eat breakfast. Emma denied that she was that difficult, but Robin and Patrick disagreed.

Patrick handed his wife a cup of coffee and quietly asked how Robin had slept. "Fine," Robin answered, but Patrick knew better because he had heard her tossing and turning all night. Patrick was curious if it had anything to do with Sabrina's pregnancy, so Robin pointed out that it had been a lot to take in. Patrick agreed, but he promised Robin that they would get through it as long as they were completely honest with each other. Emma interrupted her parents' conversation by asking if she could go to work with Patrick.

Emma was disappointed when Patrick reminded Emma that Emma had to go to school. Robin added that school was important, but Emma didn't care because she wanted to see the babies again. Patrick tensed when Emma suddenly asked if Robin had heard that Sabrina and Carlos were expecting a baby. Robin smiled and nodded, but Patrick seized the opportunity to hustle Emma out the door.

Later, Robin prepared to leave but stopped short when she opened the door and saw Victor, flanked by two guards, standing on her doorstep. Victor was curious if she had given his proposition any consideration. Robin sarcastically assured him that she hadn't been able to stop thinking about reviving Helena and Stavros, but then sobered and demanded that Victor provide her with the proof that he had promised. Victor pulled a DVD out of his jacket pocket and put it into a laptop for her to watch.

Afterwards, Robin sat on the sofa in stunned disbelief. Victor smugly asked if she believed him, but Robin suggested that the footage could have been doctored. Victor was confident that Robin knew that it was real. "Let's say I do. What happens now?" Robin asked.

Victor explained that she would be taken to an undisclosed location to begin her work. "For how long?" Robin wondered. "For as long as it takes," Victor answered. However, he made it clear that she couldn't tell anyone where she was going or reveal what she was doing, not even to her family. Robin objected because she had just been reunited with her family after two years.

Meanwhile, Spencer approached the Drake residence with his driver trailing behind. The driver reminded Spencer that Spencer had to get to school, but Spencer insisted that he would just be a minute. The driver reluctantly agreed to wait in the car, so Spencer walked up to the porch and pulled out the Fabergé egg and a card from his backpack. Spencer prepared to leave it for Emma, but was startled when he looked through the window and saw Victor and Robin talking.

At the hospital, Sabrina bumped into Patrick. She immediately apologized for not watching where she had been going, but Patrick assured her that it was okay and attributed it to what Robin had called "pregnancy brain."

Sabrina apologized, but Patrick assured Sabrina that she was not to blame. Sabrina insisted that she didn't want their child to get between Patrick and Robin. "It's not me," Sabrina explained. "It's Britt," she added. Patrick conceded that he had no idea how things would turn out, but he promised to be there for Sabrina and the baby, so she had his full support.

2/10 Emma asked Robin why she had sounded sad on the phone, but Robin played it off as work-related. Elizabeth and Cameron joined them. Emma and Cameron went off to sled while Elizabeth and Robin laughed about how excited Cameron had been about his "date" with Emma and his worries about his competition for Emma's heart. Elizabeth noticed that Robin was distracted. Robin said that she was thinking about the future. Robin left to get hot chocolate while Elizabeth checked on the children.

Spencer and Victor joined Emma and Cameron. Victor sat down with the paper, and Spencer gloated as he gave Emma the Fabergé egg as a Valentine's present. Victor was shocked when he saw a picture of Heather and remembered the confrontation he had had with her at Wyndemere. He took the photo to Spencer and asked if he recognized Heather. The children recognized her as the stable girl. Victor left the paper and told the kids that he had to find Nikolas.

Franco emerged from hiding. Spencer, Emma, and Cameron recognized him and backed away. When Franco asked what was wrong, they said that Franco was a psycho. Franco asked nicely about Heather and the children babbled about Wyndemere, the stables, the chupacabra that screamed like a real person, and the underground catacombs. Franco thanked the children and took off.

Returning with hot chocolate for all, Robin met up with T.J. and Molly, who were on an outing with Danny. Molly introduced Danny as Jason's son. Robin cuddled the baby. Eventually, Robin learned the whole story about Franco and how Jason had died before learning that Danny was his biological son. Robin became very thoughtful when Molly gushed about what a wonderful dad Jason would have been, and T.J. said that it was a shame that Danny would grow up without a father.

Robin ran into Victor, who was distracted. She accused him of stalking her, but he said he was in the park with family. Robin said that she had made her decision. Robin told Victor that she was in.

2/17 At the Drake residence, Robin quickly tucked a picture of Jason away when Patrick arrived home. Patrick greeted his wife and asked why she wasn't ready for their Valentine's Day date. Robin confessed that she wasn't in the mood to celebrate, so Patrick was curious what was troubling her. He was shocked when Robin announced that she would be leaving Port Charles.

According to Robin, AMFAR had reached out to her to ask her to continue her AIDS work in Africa. Patrick was curious how long Robin would be gone, so she admitted that it would be an open-ended trip. Stunned, Patrick demanded to know what was really going on. Robin calmly conceded that her trip was unexpected, but she explained that it would allow her to make a difference in people's lives. Patrick was not satisfied because he knew that Robin wouldn't leave her family without a good reason, especially since she had just returned from a two-year absence.

Robin appeared to wrestle with her conscience, but then claimed that she needed to leave town because she feared that Liesl would retaliate for Faison's arrest by targeting Patrick and Emma. Patrick suggested that they talk to Anna and the World Security Bureau, but Robin immediately objected because the WSB had allowed Liesl to walk free. Robin insisted that it would be best for everyone if she simply disappeared until she was certain that it was safe to return. Patrick insisted that he and Emma leave with Robin, but Robin refused to uproot Emma and take her daughter away from Emma's support system including Anna and Elizabeth.

Patrick would not be swayed, prompting Robin to remind him of his baby with Sabrina. Patrick explained that he could travel back and forth to visit the baby, but Robin argued that it wouldn't be fair to the baby. Patrick made it clear that he would not allow the baby to dictate what happened to their family, so Robin quietly confessed that she no longer felt like she was a part of Patrick and Emma's family. According to Robin, something inside her had changed. Patrick didn't believe Robin because he was certain that Robin had been happy since Christmas.

Robin claimed that she had been faking it for Patrick and Emma's sake, but she could no longer continue the farce. Patrick suggested that Robin suffered from posttraumatic stress and urged her to consider therapy, but Robin rejected the idea and insisted that the only solution was for her to leave town. Patrick made it clear that he refused to let her walk away without a fight, so Robin pleaded with Patrick to trust her. Patrick countered by begging Robin to tell him what was really going on because nothing that she had said had made sense to him.

2/18 At the Drake residence, Patrick demanded to know what was really going on because Robin kept jumping from one excuse to another to explain why she intended to abandon her family. Patrick insisted that none of it had made sense and suggested that Robin suffered from posttraumatic stress. Robin assured him that she didn't have PTSD, so Patrick begged her to tell him the real reason that she was determined to leave town. "I'm doing this because of Jason," Robin confessed.

Robin explained that she couldn't tell Patrick anything else, but he wasn't satisfied. He wanted to know what Jason's death had to do with Robin leaving town, so she revealed that Jason wasn't dead. Robin tearfully apologized for lying to Patrick and then told him about Victor's request and the opportunity to return Jason to Sam and Danny. However, she conceded that she would have to leave Patrick and Emma behind to do it. Patrick was outraged that Robin would go along with Victor's plans even though Victor couldn't be trusted.

Robin revealed that Victor had provided her with proof that Jason was alive but lingered in a cryogenic stasis. She insisted that she didn't have a choice except to leave town if she wanted to save Jason, but Patrick disagreed and pointed out that Robin could stay with her family instead of running off on an adventure. Robin argued that it wasn't an adventure because her friend's life was hanging in the balance.

Patrick was furious that Robin had intended to abandon her family without an explanation and put their daughter through that kind of heartbreak again. "What about Jason's child?" Robin asked. Patrick confessed that he didn't care if Danny grew up without Jason. He only cared about their daughter who had spent two years grieving for Robin. Patrick was curious if Robin intended to tell Emma that Jason's son was more important than Emma.

Robin insisted that Patrick was being unfair and begged Patrick to try to understand what Jason meant to her. Patrick assured Robin that he understood that Jason was the most important person in the world to Robin even though Jason had been a gangster. Robin reminded Patrick that she wouldn't have met Patrick or had a child with him if it hadn't been for Jason because Jason had saved her life. Patrick argued that the medications had saved Robin's life, but Robin argued that Jason had been the one to convince her to take forty pills a day when there hadn't been any guarantee that the drug cocktail would work.

Patrick assured Robin that he was grateful that Jason had been there for Robin when Robin had discovered that she was HIV positive, but Patrick insisted that there were limits to what Robin was expected to do to repay Jason. Robin reminded Patrick that Jason would die if she didn't help, but Patrick was unmoved. Patrick accused Robin of putting Jason before her own family and then reminded her that it hadn't been the first time. Patrick pointed out that it had been two years to the day that Robin had decided to sacrifice her life to save Jason by entering the lab to obtain a cure for Jason. He was curious how long Robin intended to be gone this time.

Robin reminded Patrick that she had been a prisoner and that she had hoped and prayed that someone would find her, knowing that no one would. Patrick argued that they had believed that she had died in the lab explosion. Robin pointed out that everyone believed that Jason was dead, too, so Jason was in the same situation that she had been in except Jason was immobilized. Robin explained that she couldn't live with herself if she left Jason to a fate like that. Patrick argued that she would be leaving him and Emma behind.

Robin countered that she needed to save Jason for Sam, Danny, and because Jason deserved to live. Patrick disagreed, but Robin insisted that Jason would do the same for her. She added that Jason had never let her down. "And I have," Patrick replied. Robin assured Patrick that she loved him and Emma, so Patrick ordered her to say no to Victor. Robin watched helplessly as Patrick stormed out of the house.

2/19 In the hospital, Patrick listened to a voicemail message from Robin and then put his phone away as Lucy approached and greeted him. She was eager to meet with the 2014 Nurses Ball planning committee, but she suggested that she and Patrick show a united front to keep those holding the purse strings from cutting their budget. However, she had good news because the people from AMFAR had reached out to her and had promised to help ensure that the upcoming Nurses Ball was the best one ever.

Lucy was curious when Robin would be joining them, so Patrick revealed that Robin wouldn't be around for the Nurses Ball. Lucy feared that Robin had become sick but Patrick quickly assured Lucy that Robin was healthy. Confused, Lucy wondered what would prevent Robin from participating in the Nurses Ball. Patrick suggested that Lucy talk to Robin. Lucy realized from Patrick's tone that there was trouble between Patrick and Robin and assumed that it had something to do with Sabrina's pregnancy.

Lucy urged Patrick not to let things get "awkward" between Patrick and Robin. She confided that she and Kevin had had their fair share of rough patches but they had always loved each other deep down inside and hadn't allowed their problems to consume them. Lucy began to cryptically ramble about her problems with Kevin and made some veiled references to her affair with Scott, prompting Patrick to ask who she was talking about. "No one," Lucy quickly replied and then assured Patrick that if he and Robin worked through their problems, they could emerge on the other side, stronger. Patrick hoped that Lucy was right.

At the Drake residence, Robin left Patrick a voicemail message imploring him to return her call because she was worried about him and needed to know that he was okay. After the call, Robin picked up her keys and prepared to track her husband down, but she opened the door and saw Elizabeth standing on the porch. Elizabeth offered to return at a more convenient time, but Robin invited her friend inside and asked what was going on. Elizabeth revealed that Nikolas had proposed to Britt.

Elizabeth told Robin about the discovery that Dante was Ben's father and Britt's claim that Britt hadn't known the truth about Ben's paternity because Liesl had handled everything. Elizabeth admitted that she didn't believe Britt and worried that Nikolas would get hurt because Nikolas refused to see what a terrible person Britt was. Robin wondered if Elizabeth objected to Nikolas marrying Britt because Elizabeth was still in love with Nikolas.

Elizabeth was curious why Robin would ask that, so Robin reminded her friend that Nikolas and Elizabeth had sacrificed a lot to be together a few years earlier. Elizabeth pointed out that their affair had been disastrous. Robin agreed but added that it wasn't too late for a second chance if that was what Elizabeth wanted. Elizabeth admitted that she did love Nikolas.

Elizabeth revealed that she had realized that she was in love with Nikolas when he had returned to town and had tried to rekindle their romance. However, she had pushed him away because she had been afraid that she and Nikolas would repeat their past mistakes. Elizabeth also pointed out that she had been involved with A.J., in part because she had identified with A.J.'s need for redemption. Elizabeth explained that Nikolas had moved on with Britt by the time that Elizabeth had walked away from A.J., so Elizabeth had missed her chance just like she had with Jason.

Robin tensed at the mention of Jason's name, but Elizabeth didn't notice. Elizabeth confided that she had hoped to expose Britt's lie in the hopes that Nikolas would realize his mistake and pick Elizabeth. Elizabeth accepted that it wouldn't happen, so she was prepared to lie in the bed that she had made. "Alone," Elizabeth added. Robin was curious if Elizabeth had considered that it might not too late.

Elizabeth pointed out that her attempt to play detective with Ben's DNA had ruined any chance that she might have had with Nikolas. Robin disagreed and confessed that Nikolas would want to know how Elizabeth felt. Robin urged her friend to go to Nikolas and talk to him.

2/20 At the Drake residence, Patrick suggested that he and Robin tell Anna about Victor's proposal, but Robin refused to involve her mother. Patrick told Robin about his talk with Lucy when Lucy had made him realize that he and Robin had been through too much together to give up without a fight. Robin assured Patrick that nothing would happen to her because she would be working in a lab, but Patrick wasn't satisfied because he had no idea how long Robin would be gone or where she would be going.

Robin appreciated Patrick's concern, but she explained that she couldn't risk Jason's life by involving Anna because Anna would start an investigation, which would tip Victor off. Patrick explained that Victor needed Robin, so it was unlikely that Victor would hurt Jason. Robin refused to go up against Victor and warned Patrick that it was entirely possible that she had made a mistake by confiding to Patrick because Victor might be listening in. Patrick stubbornly insisted that they turn to Anna for help and grabbed Robin's hand.

Patrick and Robin started to leave, but stopped short when they encountered Victor on the front porch. Victor smiled pleasantly and then entered the house as he introduced himself to Patrick. Patrick glared at Victor and cut to the chase by making it clear that Robin would not help Victor. "Oh, dear, you told your husband," Victor said to Robin. Robin wasn't fooled; she was certain that Victor had already known.

Victor was disappointed that Robin didn't understand the rules of espionage, but Robin countered that the rule was that there were no rules. Victor nodded and then confirmed that he'd had Robin under surveillance, so he knew about Patrick's plan to talk to Anna. Robin demanded to know what Victor intended to do, since she had violated the terms of their agreement. Victor assured Patrick and Robin that they were free to tell Anna, but Jason would be "toast." Patrick resented Victor threatening Robin by trying to make her choose between her family and her friend.

Victor explained that Robin had a unique set of skills that only one in a million doctors possessed, so Victor's options were limited, and he was unable to guarantee Jason's well-being without Robin's help. Furious, Patrick ordered Victor to leave. Victor complied but warned Robin that the plane would leave the following day. Victor hoped that Robin would be on it.

After Victor left, Robin confessed that she felt as if she had made a deal with the devil. Patrick insisted that Robin didn't have to go, but Robin disagreed and explained that Jason would do everything possible to save her if their roles had been reversed. Robin assured Patrick that she loved him and Emma, but she intended to be on Victor's plane when it departed because she couldn't allow Jason to die.

2/21 At the Drake residence, Robin assured Patrick that she loved him and wished with all of her heart that she could stay, but she intended to be on Victor's plane the following day because Jason's life was at stake. Frustrated, Patrick insisted that she didn't have to go. Robin explained that she wasn't leaving on a whim or going on a vacation; she was trying to save Jason's life. Patrick argued that Robin's obligation was to her husband and daughter. Robin tensed when she suddenly heard Mac clear his throat.

Mac and Emma stood in the doorway with matching expressions of concern. Robin ran over to greet her daughter and asked if Emma had enjoyed ice-skating. Emma wanted to know what her parents had been arguing about because Emma had heard her father use a bad word. Patrick immediately apologized, but Emma wanted to know why Patrick was mad. Mac picked up on the tension between Patrick and Robin, so Mac suggested that he and Emma go to the kitchen to make hot chocolate.

After Emma dutifully followed Mac to the kitchen, Robin conceded that Emma was a lot like her. Patrick agreed and then warned Robin that if she intended to leave town then she would have to break the news to both Emma and Mac. Patrick warned Robin that it would have to be believable because Mac would ask questions. Robin implored Patrick to help her, but Patrick objected to lying to their daughter. Robin respected Patrick's right not to support her decision, but she insisted that they had to present a united front to make things easier for Emma.

Moments later, Mac and Emma returned with cups of hot chocolate, so Patrick and Robin broke the news to Emma that Robin had to leave town to help sick people in Africa. Emma was devastated and begged her mother not to go, but Robin gently explained that doctors were expected to make sacrifices. Emma argued that Patrick was a doctor, too, and he didn't have to leave. Robin agreed but added that Patrick was not the kind of doctor that the people in Africa needed. Robin insisted that she couldn't allow people to die if she had the power to help them, so Emma reluctantly accepted the decision, provided that Robin wasn't gone for long.

Robin admitted that she had no idea how long she would be away. Emma's eyes filled with tears as she realized that he mother would miss the dance recital the following week. Robin quickly assured Emma that Patrick, Mac, and Anna would go, but Emma didn't care because she wanted her mother to be there. Patrick promised Emma that Robin would call and Skype, but Emma argued that it wouldn't be the same as having Robin at home.

Robin realized that it was a lot to ask of her daughter and promised Emma that she wouldn't have agreed to go if it hadn't been necessary. Emma's heart broke when Robin revealed that she would be leaving the following day. Robin watched helplessly as Emma ran out of the room in tears and Patrick followed.

Mac confessed that he didn't understand why Robin had to leave. He suspected that there was more to the story, so Robin confessed that he was right. She claimed that she had been having difficulty settling back into her life and needed time to sort things out. Mac conceded that he and Felicia had wondered if Robin had adjusted to her life since returning, but he feared that leaving was not the answer because it sounded like Robin was running away rather than dealing with her problems. Robin begged Mac to accept her decision.

Mac assured Robin that he loved her and that he would support whatever she decided. Robin was relieved and hugged her uncle. Mac reminded Robin not to forget the good luck charm that Robert had given her, so she showed Mac that she wore it on a chain around her neck. After Mac left, Patrick returned to the living room to let Robin know that Emma was still upset. Robin decided to have another talk with her daughter and went to Emma's bedroom.

2/24 At the Drake residence, Robin entered the bedroom and told Patrick that Emma had fallen asleep. She admitted that she had tried to explain repeatedly why it was necessary for her to leave town, but Emma had refused to listen because Emma didn't want Robin to leave. "That makes two of us," Patrick confessed. Patrick realized that he had to let Robin go, but he wasn't happy about it. Robin insisted that it was necessary because she couldn't allow Danny to grow up without his father, Jason.

Frustrated, Patrick offered to help Robin pack, but he admitted that he didn't know what to throw into the suitcase because they had no idea where Victor intended to take Robin. Patrick also realized that it was unlikely that Victor would allow Robin to Skype or call her family. Robin asked Patrick to stop pulling clothes out of a drawer because she didn't want to spend their last evening together packing. She explained that she would rather focus on her husband because she might not see him for a long time. Patrick was curious if Robin expected them to make love and go to sleep as if the following day would be like any other day.

Robin insisted that she just wanted to make the most of the time that she and Patrick had together before her departure. Patrick's eyes filled with tears as he confessed that he still woke up in the middle of the night to assure himself that she was alive and next to him in bed. He pointed out that once she left, he would be forced to spend endless nights, wondering where she was and if she was safe, so he couldn't pretend that everything was fine. Robin assured Patrick that she didn't expect him to, but she needed to be close to him because she loved him. "You still love me too, don't you?" Robin asked with trepidation.

Patrick insisted that it was an unfair question, but Robin admitted that she needed to know the answer. He assured her that he loved her and that it would take everything in his power to let her go the following day because he didn't know what he would do without her. Robin promised that she felt the same way, so she wanted their last night together to be an affirmation of their love because the memories would get her through the days ahead. Patrick reminded Robin that she didn't have to leave, but Robin didn't want to waste what little time they had left together, listing the reasons why she had to help Jason. She knew that Patrick hated her decision, but she wanted to show him how much she loved him.

Robin stepped into Patrick's arms, kissed him, and then made love to her husband. Later, Patrick held his wife tightly and confessed that he couldn't believe that he didn't know when she would get to sleep in his arms again. Robin promised Patrick that she would return home to him as soon as possible. This episode included the song: "Like You Do" by Danni Rosner

DVD #21C 2/27 In the hospital's elevator, Patrick asked Robin if she had talked to Nikolas about her impending departure. Robin admitted that she had and that Nikolas had been his usual polite self, but it was clear to Robin that Nikolas had been confused about her decision to leave her family behind. Moments later, the elevator door opened. The Drakes tensed when they saw Sabrina waiting. Patrick and Robin exited the elevator and exchanged stilted greetings with Sabrina.

Sabrina mentioned her recent prenatal appointment that Patrick had missed, so Patrick quickly apologized for forgetting and explained that something had cropped up. Sabrina assured him that she understood and revealed that the baby's growth was on track. Uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation, Robin excused herself and explained that she had to get to her doctor's appointment. After Robin left, Sabrina asked Patrick if everything was okay with Robin. "Far from it," Patrick admitted. Sabrina was shocked when Patrick revealed that Robin had accepted a job with AMFAR and would be leaving town without him and Emma.

Patrick explained that it was a good opportunity for his wife, but Sabrina admitted that it didn't make sense that Robin would leave town after having been recently reunited with Patrick and Emma. Sabrina feared that Robin's decision to leave had something to do with Sabrina and the baby, but Patrick promised Sabrina that it didn't. Patrick then shifted gears to assure Sabrina that he would be at the next prenatal appointment because he cared about both Sabrina and the baby. Sabrina beamed as she talked about what it had been like to hear the baby's heartbeat. Patrick smiled and admitted that he looked forward to hearing the heartbeat at the next appointment.

Meanwhile, Robin bumped into Carly at the nurses' station. Robin admitted that she was glad that Carly was okay, but Carly conceded that her own nightmare had been nothing compared to what Robin had endured for two years. Carly realized that she and Robin had never been friends because, according to Carly, Robin had never been able to keep her nose out of other people's business. However, Carly was grateful that Robin had risked her life to save Jason. Robin admitted that she was glad that Jason had gotten a chance to meet Danny, even if Jason hadn't known that Danny was his son.

Carly explained that for Jason's sake she wanted to try to coexist with Robin, but Robin revealed that it wouldn't be possible because Robin wouldn't be in Port Charles much longer. Carly was stunned that Robin would abandon her family after being away from Patrick and Emma for two years. Robin explained that there were people who needed her and that it hadn't been a decision that Robin had made lightly, but Carly wasn't satisfied because Carly believed that Patrick and Emma needed Robin more than anyone else. Robin started to walk away because she realized that she wouldn't be able to make Carly understand.

Carly followed Robin and accused her of making it all about Robin. Robin thought that it was ironic that the "self-proclaimed center of the universe," would accuse Robin of being selfish. Carly decided that she didn't want to be friends with Robin because Robin was still the same "self-absorbed, self-important martyr" that Robin had always been. Robin's temper flared, so she blurted out that if Carly knew why Robin was leaving, Carly would bow down and worship Robin. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Carly asked.

Robin realized that she had said too much, so she told Carly to forget about it. Carly demanded an explanation, but Patrick walked up and ordered Carly to back off. Carly was stunned that Patrick would defend the woman who had decided to leave him high and dry. Patrick was curious if Carly liked it when people judged her relationships, whether it was with Franco, Sonny, or even Jason. "No," Carly admitted. Patrick suspected that it was because the people who were judging didn't know the situation or what they were talking about. Patrick was certain that Carly didn't like people butting into her personal life.

"Well, guess what? That goes for everybody," Patrick explained. Patrick made it clear that Robin's decision to leave town was between him and his wife. Carly assured Patrick that she understood, but she added that Patrick deserved better and always had. After Carly left, Patrick wondered how Carly would feel if she knew that Robin was leaving to save Jason. Robin thanked Patrick for having her back because Carly had pushed her buttons until Robin had almost revealed the real reason that she had decided to leave town. Patrick warned Robin that it would have defeated the purpose of her trip. Robin agreed and tried to talk to him about it in further detail, but he cut her off with a reminder of her doctor's appointment.

2/28 At the nurses' station, Elizabeth greeted Robin and joked that she had seen more of Robin lately than when Robin had worked at the hospital. Robin explained that she'd had a checkup and then asked if Elizabeth had talked to Nikolas. Elizabeth confirmed that she had told Nikolas that she loved him, but nothing had changed because Nikolas intended to marry Britt. Robin felt bad and wished that she had kept her advice to herself because she feared that she had made a bad situation worse for her friend. Elizabeth conceded that she hoped that things had turned out different, but she was glad that she had said her piece to Nikolas.

Elizabeth shifted gears and invited Robin to attend the planning meeting for the 2014 Nurses Ball, but Robin explained that she had to go home to pack because Robin intended to leave town later that evening. Elizabeth was shocked when her friend revealed that Patrick and Emma would not be joining Robin. Elizabeth couldn't understand why Robin would leave Patrick and Emma after recently being reunited with them, so Robin confessed that it was difficult to explain because there were a lot of things that Robin wasn't at liberty to discuss.

However, Robin assured Elizabeth that Elizabeth would support and be thrilled with Robin's decision if Elizabeth knew the details. Elizabeth trusted Robin to know what Robin was doing but confessed that she couldn't be thrilled that Robin was leaving. Elizabeth was curious when Robin would be returning, but Robin didn't have an answer. Elizabeth promised to have Robin's back and then hugged her.

At the hospital, Anna approached Robin and Elizabeth and then tearfully asked if Robin was leaving town. Elizabeth quickly slipped away to give Anna and Robin privacy. Robin confirmed that it was true, so Anna wanted to know why Robin had told everyone except Anna. Robin admitted that she had been afraid to say goodbye to her mother because Robin had known that it would be difficult. Anna demanded to know why Robin was leaving. Robin explained that she couldn't go into detail, so she needed Anna to trust that Anna, Robert, and Mac had raised Robin to do the right thing even when it was difficult.

Anna assured Robin that she did, but she couldn't understand why Robin refused to explain why Robin was leaving. Robin recalled being young and not knowing why Anna and Robert would disappear for long periods of time, but she had always had faith that her parents would return. Robin asked Anna to have the same faith in Robin. Anna could see that Robin's mind was set and that Robin believed that it was the right thing to do, so Anna asked for assurance that Robin wasn't being forced and that Patrick and Emma weren't in danger. Robin promised her mother that Patrick and Emma were safe and that it had been Robin's decision. Anna's eyes filled with fresh tears as she begged Robin to promise to find a way back home to Anna. Anna held her daughter tightly and thought about a poignant reunion that she'd had with Robin when Robin had been a young girl. Robin hated letting go as much as her mother, but Robin explained that her flight would depart later that evening.

3/3 Anna was in her office at the Port Charles Police Station, tearfully remembering how Robin had broken the news that Robin was going away, when Duke interrupted and asked what was wrong. She told him that Robin was leaving, and she sensed that there was more to the story than Robin was telling her. Duke asked if Anna would pursue it, but Anna said that she had put Robin in the same position many times before, and she had to support Robin's decision to leave, even if it broke Anna's heart. Anna was still wiping her eyes when Dr. Obrecht knocked and entered Anna's office. Dr. Obrecht told Anna that she knew what Anna had done to Faison.

Robin unlocked the door to her home, which was cheerfully decorated for a going away party. Emma and Patrick yelled, "Surprise." The family exchanged presents, loving words, photos, and goodbyes. Emma went to bed happy. Robin and Patrick spent their last few minutes together holding each other and expressing their love. Both had shed tears when Victor knocked on the door and told Robin that it was time to leave.

3/4 In Anna's office, Liesl vowed to make Anna and Robert pay for what they had done to Cesar Faison. Anna ignored the threat and demanded to know how Liesl had gotten into Anna's office. Liesl claimed that she had worn a latex mask bearing Anna's likeness, but then admitted that she had simply asked the police officer at the front desk, who had directed her to Anna's office. Anna threatened to have Liesl escorted out if Liesl didn't leave, but Liesl wasn't intimidated and countered that she would tell everyone what Anna and Robert had done to Faison.

Anna pointed out that it wasn't a secret that Anna and Robert had captured Faison and then had returned him to prison. Liesl warned Anna that she knew the truth and then handed Anna the file that Victor had given to Liesl. Anna glanced through the file and demanded to know where Liesl had obtained it because Anna knew that Liesl didn't have the clearance to access the file without help. Rather than answer Anna's question, Liesl repeated her own question because Liesl knew that Faison was not at Steinmauer.

Liesl pointed out that Faison had last been seen on Spoon Island, so Liesl wanted answers, or she vowed to snap Anna "like a twig." Anna welcomed the opportunity to defend herself, but Liesl backed down. Anna pointed out that Liesl had helped Faison to escape from Steinmauer in the past, so Anna and Robert had decided to put Faison in a place that he could not escape from. Liesl wanted to know where, but Anna informed Liesl that Liesl didn't have the clearance for that kind of information. Liesl wasn't satisfied because she was certain that her sources would have known if Faison had been transferred to a different facility. Liesl feared that Anna and Robert had killed Faison while he had been bound and defenseless.

"So what if I did?" Anna angrily asked. Shocked, Liesl asked if that had been an admission. Anna provided several different scenarios of how she and Robert might have killed Faison and then concluded with the suggestion that perhaps they had allowed Faison to live, so he could suffer for the rest of his days the way that he had made Anna and Robert suffer when Robin had been abducted. Anna was curious how Liesl felt to be at the whim of someone who despised Liesl, not knowing the truth from a lie. Liesl promised to make Anna pay dearly for what Anna and Robert had done to Faison and then mentioned Robin's impending trip. Liesl took delight in tormenting Anna that Anna might never see Robin again, so Anna demanded to know what Liesl knew about Robin's trip. "What could I possibly know? I don't have the clearance," Liesl replied with a smirk. "Auf wiedersehen," Liesl added and then left. Anna screamed in frustration and anguish when the door closed. In the hallway, Liesl smiled with satisfaction.

At the Drake residence, Victor greeted Robin and then informed her that it was time to leave. He was curious if she had everything, but she admitted that she didn't. Victor was sympathetic to Robin's plight, but Patrick demanded proof that Jason was alive. Robin quietly assured Patrick that she had seen the evidence with her own eyes, so she believed that Victor had Jason. Patrick feared that Victor was trying to exploit Robin's friendship with Jason, but Victor pointed out that all that really mattered was what Robin, not Patrick, believed.

Victor was curious if Robin had changed her mind. Patrick conceded that Robin would do anything for the people that she loved, so he assured Victor that Robin would leave with Victor. Victor admitted that Robin was a lot like her father, Robert, but Robin resented Victor trying to flatter her. Victor shifted gears to confess that experience had taught him that long goodbyes simply added to the pain. Robin explained that she wanted to see her daughter one last time and then left the room.

Patrick took the opportunity to make it clear that Victor would be entrusted with Robin's safety, so Patrick expected Victor to return her home happy and whole. Patrick vowed to make it his life's mission to hunt down and kill Victor if Victor failed to properly safeguard Robin. Victor assured Patrick that the message had been received. Satisfied, Patrick ordered Victor to wait in the car.

After Victor left, Robin returned to the living room. Her eyes filled with tears as Patrick wrapped his arms around her and admitted that he didn't want to let her go. Robin reminded him that he had to, but she deeply regretted that she had hurt him and their daughter. Tears brimmed Patrick's eyes as she confessed that she would not be complete until she returned home to him. Patrick admitted that he was afraid and didn't want to forget that he loved her. Robin promised that she would return, but Patrick didn't want to hear that because he couldn't take another broken promise. Robin nodded in understanding and then gently kissed him. Moments later, she gathered her things and then left.

Patrick picked up a framed photograph of him, Robin, and Emma as he thought about the first time that he had met Robin and how they had fallen in love. His memories drifted to Emma's birth, his wedding to Robin, the lab explosion, his grief over losing Robin, his reunion with Robin in the church, and finally their recommitment ceremony when he had vowed to love Robin until the end of time.

Victor and Robin arrived at the facility. Victor informed Robin that she would have everything that she needed to start her work, but Robin insisted on being taken to Jason. Victor balked, but Robin made it clear that she would not begin her work until she saw Jason. Reluctantly, Victor complied and led her to Room 307, where they encountered Joan. Victor introduced Joan to Robin and then opened the door to Jason's room.

Robin entered the room and approached a cryogenic chamber. "Jason, it's really you," Robin said with relief as she looked at Jason.

3/13 At Kelly's, Anna, Patrick, and Emma had breakfast together. Anna looked through the small telescope that Robin had given to Emma as Emma explained that Robin had wanted Emma to have it so Emma could gaze at the same stars in the sky as Robin. Anna was impressed and returned the telescope necklace to Emma. Emma confessed that she missed her mother, but Anna reminded Emma that Robin was only a phone call away. Emma's expression turned sad as she asked why her mother hadn't called.

Patrick cleared his throat and changed the subject by suggesting that Emma show Anna the picture that Cam had drawn for Emma. Emma ran over to her backpack to look for the picture, while Anna seized the opportunity to ask Patrick if it was true that Robin hadn't called. Patrick curtly explained that Robin was in a remote area and would call when she had settled in, but Anna wasn't satisfied. Emma returned to explain that she had left the picture at home, so Patrick suggested that Emma go to the kitchen to get some crayons from Shawn.

However, Patrick first made it clear that Emma was not to leave the diner. Emma agreed and then dashed off. Anna confessed that it had seemed a lifetime before when Patrick, Britt, and Emma had been there and Emma had slipped out of Kelly's after Britt had upset Emma. Patrick muttered that a lot had changed, prompting Anna to broach the subject of Patrick and Emma. Anna pointed out that it was a lot for Patrick to raise Emma alone, so she promised to help Patrick in any way that she could until Robin returned.

Patrick appreciated the offer, but he confessed that it was meaningless to him. "Excuse me?" Anna asked with a shocked expression. Patrick explained that Robin was the only one who could fix things, but instead, Robin was off fixing others. Anna was stunned when Patrick added that Anna could keep her offers to herself, but he quickly regretted his outburst and apologized.

Anna confessed that she had tried to understand her daughter's decision to leave, but Anna hated how it had affected both Patrick and Emma. Patrick assured her that he and Emma would manage, but he promised to turn to Anna for help if it became too much. Moments later, Emma returned to the table. Anna announced that she had to get to work, so she kissed her granddaughter goodbye and then left. Emma fetched the jeweled egg that Spencer had given her, but Patrick was concerned because it appeared to be too valuable for Spencer to give to Emma.

Emma assured her father that it was okay because Spencer's uncle, Victor, had said that Emma could have it. Patrick tensed and demanded that Emma hand it over. Emma became upset as she asked why, but Patrick's temper flared as he ordered her to give him the jeweled egg. Patrick insisted that they didn't accept gifts from bad men like Victor, but Emma tearfully clutched the egg close to her. Patrick snatched the jeweled egg from his daughter's grasp and then angrily smashed it on the floor. Emma burst into tears as the patrons looked at Patrick with shock.

Patrick ran over to his daughter and apologized, but Emma was distraught. A woman approached Patrick to offer to help him pick up the pieces of the valuable egg, but Patrick snapped at her to leave him alone and then focused on Emma. Patrick admitted that he shouldn't have grabbed the egg from Emma and then throw it, but Emma added that he also shouldn't have yelled at her because he had always told her that yelling was wrong. Patrick agreed and admitted that he had made a mistake. Emma clarified that he had made three mistakes.

Patrick conceded that Emma was right and asked her if she could forgive him. Emma cried that she didn't have her mother or the special egg and then wailed that she missed her mother. Patrick picked Emma up and hugged her tightly as she cried on his shoulder.

3/17 Patrick was in an emotional state when he hurled Robin's picture against his office wall and questioned how Robin could leave her family. Elizabeth walked in and overheard. She consoled Patrick, who told her how he had hurt Emma earlier, and he worried that Robin's departure would cause him to spiral out of control. Elizabeth pointed out that Emma had forgiven him and that Patrick could be strong for his daughter's sake.

Patrick was not as sure of himself as Elizabeth was. She reminded Patrick that Robin loved her family and would be back. Michael knocked and entered. He told Patrick that he had decided on the surgery for A.J. Patrick told Michael to spend some time with his father while Patrick suited up. After Michael left, Elizabeth questioned whether or not Patrick was emotionally stable enough for surgery. Patrick stiffened his back and told Elizabeth that Robin was not the only one who could rise to the occasion when needed.

4/23 At Metro Court, Patrick, Sabrina, and Emma arrived for the dance recital. Mac was waiting in the lobby with a camcorder to film Emma while Felicia saved a seat in the crowded ballroom. As Mac filmed Emma getting ready, Sabrina admitted to Patrick that she couldn't believe that Carlos had been involved in A.J.'s shooting. She was certain that there was more to the story, but Patrick gently reminded her that Carlos wasn't a law-abiding citizen. Sabrina realized that Carlos worked for the Jeromes, but she was adamant that he had not shot A.J.

Moments later, Nikolas arrived with Cam. Cam dashed off to find Emma and present her with a bouquet of flowers. Sabrina seized the opportunity to ask Nikolas how Elizabeth was, so he assured Sabrina that Elizabeth was recuperating nicely at Wyndemere, but she hadn't been able to drop off Cameron because Elizabeth had attended A.J.'s memorial. Sabrina felt bad for her friend because she knew that there had been a time when Elizabeth and A.J. had been close. Nikolas pointed out that at least they had arrested the man suspected of murdering A.J., but Sabrina staunchly defended Carlos and then excused herself to check on Emma.

Patrick explained that Nikolas had hit a nerve because Sabrina had history with Carlos. However, Patrick wouldn't mind if Carlos were charged with the crime because Patrick didn't want Carlos near the baby. Nikolas suddenly recalled that Sabrina was pregnant with Patrick's baby, so he wondered if that was part of the reason that Robin had left. Patrick ignored the question as Emma returned to show Patrick the flowers that Cam had given to her.

Meanwhile, Spencer lurked in a corner and waited until everyone had entered the ballroom to take their seats before calling out to Emma. Emma was surprised when she saw Spencer, but Spencer cut to the chase by explaining that he needed to protect Emma from danger. Emma became annoyed because she thought that it was a ploy to lure her away from Cam. She informed Spencer that he had to respect the choice that she had made and then stomped off. Spencer remained concerned because he feared that Luke would make good on the threat against Emma.

After the recital, Emma's loved ones met in the lobby to congratulate Emma on her performance. Anna and Duke waited outside with Felicia for Emma, so Mac decided to wrap up the filming. Emma wanted the final shot to be with her bouquet of flowers, so she ran off to fetch them. She became alarmed when she noticed that the flowers were missing, but Spencer stepped out of the shadows to hand the flowers to Emma with an explanation that he had kept them safe for her, even though Cam had bought the flowers, because Spencer knew they were important to Emma.

Spencer promised that he would be the one to save Emma and then ducked out of sight before his father spotted him. Meanwhile, Patrick invited Nikolas and Cam to join them at Kelly's, but Nikolas declined because he had to pick Elizabeth up at the Quartermaine mansion. After Patrick, Sabrina, and Emma left, Nikolas spotted Spencer trying to sneak out of the lobby, so he nabbed his son before Spencer could escape and then vowed to have a long talk with Spencer when they got home. The episode featured the song, "Pale Bird," by Chic Gamine

5/1 In the hallway, Patrick was startled when Victor called out to him. Patrick immediately demanded to know where Robin was and if she was okay. Victor assured him that Robin was fine, but Robin had heard about the accident and had wanted to check on Patrick and Emma. Patrick argued that she was too "enamored" with helping Jason to reach out to her family, but Victor disagreed and offered Patrick an opportunity to talk to Robin. Victor handed Patrick a piece of paper with a phone number where Robin could be reached for the following hour.

Patrick walked away and then called Robin. He quickly assured Robin that Emma was fine, but Sabrina had gone into premature labor and had delivered the baby fifteen weeks early. He revealed that his son was thirteen inches long and a little over one and half pounds, but strong. However, his son was far from out of the woods, so Patrick's voice cracked with emotion as he begged Robin to return home because he and Emma needed her. His tears turned to anger when Robin explained that she was at a critical point in her work, so she couldn't leave.

Furious, Patrick accused Jason of being more important than Robin's own family, so she shouldn't bother to return home at all if she couldn't be there for Patrick and Emma when they needed her the most. As Patrick ended the call, Victor walked up and expressed how sorry he was for Patrick's troubles. Patrick warned Victor to get away from him before Patrick tore Victor apart. Victor nodded and then quietly walked away.

5/8/14 The red carpet arrivals begin, Emma & Cameron, followed by Anna and Duke made their way through a throng of reporters. A reporter asked if Robin would be attending the Nurses Ball, so Anna explained that Robin was abroad doing humanitaria hotel where she finally is with her daughter once again. The Scorpios celebrate Christmas together in Paris and then head back to PC. She meets new Jason on their bridge and he has a brief flashback. Robin & Patrick spend New Year’s Eve in their home, making love and pledging their love to each other. They decide to make a new beginning in CA, and their friendn work, but Anna promised that Robin was there in her heart. The reporter complimented Duke's kilt and then watched as the couple walked away.

At Wyndemere, Nikolas and Spencer watched as Cam asked a reporter if he could give his cousin a special shout-out, so the reporter agreed and held the microphone in front of Cam. "Hi Spencer. Sorry you couldn't be here tonight. We're thinking of you. Save a slice of pizza for me," Cam said with a big smile. Spencer's eyes rounded with fury as he dropped the slice of pizza that he had been about to eat onto the plate.

Emma noticed that Cam was on his cell phone, so she asked if he had sent the picture to Spencer. She was pleased when Cam assured her that he hadn't because she had explained that she had picked Cam because Cam had been a nice guy.

Lucy stepped onto the stage. She received a standing ovation and then waited for everyone to sit down before explaining the history of the Nurses Ball, which had started in 1994. She conceded that they had missed a few years, but she was grateful that they had been able to revive the ball. Lucy talked about the money that they had raised for AMFAR and then revealed that in 2013, researchers had revealed that a child had been cured of the disease and was no longer HIV positive. Lucy's eyes filled with tears of joy as she pointed out that the news had been a huge step in the right direction. Lucy then kicked off the 2014 Nurses Ball.

5/12 Cameron, Emma, Elizabeth, and Ric were surprised to run into Nikolas and Spencer. Nikolas explained that they'd changed their minds about attending the ball. "What are you wearing?" Cameron asked Spencer snottily, referring to Spencer's princely attire. "It's just something I found lying around...Europe," he emphasized, turning around like a model. Elizabeth didn't want Cameron and Emma to miss their entrance, so she and Ric hurried them backstage. Spencer yelled that he couldn't wait for the number.

Lucy was back onstage and announced Emma and Cameron dancing the tango. Nikolas wondered where Spencer was, because he'd wanted to see the number. Emma and Cameron danced until the music abruptly stopped. Suddenly, Spencer was onstage. He apologized for interrupting their "fantastic" dance. "Emma, this song is for you," he said and introduced the band Player, featuring Ronn Moss.

As the band began to play, Cameron whined about Spencer interrupting his and Emma's dance. Spencer regretted it, but he had needed to do something "bold and beautiful" in order to make up with Emma. Cameron tried to get Emma to leave, but Emma wanted to hear the song. As the band played "Baby Come Back," Lucy and Scott shared a meaningful look, as did Ric and Elizabeth, Elizabeth and Nikolas, Brad and Lucas, and Maxie and Nathan.

Backstage, Spencer shook hands with each member of the band. He thanked them for playing on such short notice, but they'd been happy to help. Ronn told Spencer that he'd do anything for Spencer's grandmother Lesley. He wished Spencer luck with getting Emma back. Emma walked backstage. She told Cameron that she had to get changed and stopped short when she saw Spencer. He begged her to return to him and told her that he couldn't live without her.

5/13 Backstage, Spencer fell to bended knee as he implored Emma to take him back by repeating a verse from Player's, "Baby Come Back." Emma insisted that Spencer stand up so he wouldn't get his slacks dirty, but Spencer refused to move until Emma assured him that she had forgiven him. He suddenly feared that she hadn't liked his surprise, but she assured him that she had loved the song and Player's performance. Spencer smiled with satisfaction because he had arranged all of it -- the band and the song -- for Emma. He vowed that he would never hurt her again, so Emma assured him that she had forgiven him.

Spencer jumped up and smiled with joy until Emma clarified that nothing had changed; she had arrived with Cam, so she intended to leave with Cam. "What about us?" Spencer asked in a dejected tone. "There is no us, sorry," Emma replied and then left.

Felix returned to the stage and then asked Emma to join him. Felix revealed that Sabrina hadn't been able to attend the ball because Sabrina had given birth to a premature baby boy, Emma's brother. However, Felix assured everyone that Sabrina had worked hard to help put the 2014 Nurses Ball together, so Emma had agreed to step in for Sabrina. Emma sang, "It's a Beautiful Day.” After Emma's song ended, the crowd applauded.

Outside the neonatal unit, Patrick felt a tiny hand reach for his. It was Emma. Patrick picked his daughter up and then hugged Emma tightly as Anna, Duke, Felix, Elizabeth, Ric, Cam, and Epiphany walked up to lend their support and to check on Patrick and Sabrina's son.
