Stone then talks to Luke about his peace- making plans for Brenda and Sonny.  Luke is skeptical about getting B&S together again.  Luke changes the subject and asks Stone what he really wants to do (inferred "before you die"), what his fantasy is?  Stone decides he always wanted to bungy jump off a building at night.  Luke says "cool" and says "let's do it"! Luke borrows some bungi-jumping equipment and he and Stone and Robin depart for a high place.  Well, the kid actually jumps; he's torqued up like crazy afterwards and Luke is pleased that he could do something for the kid. Robin and Stone and Brenda and Miguel make a huge sundae at Ruby's.

9/20 Stone is still flying as he works his way down his wish list.  However for one item he needs Sonny's help.  Stone wants to give Robin a ring, not an engagement ring, but something tangible she'll have after Stone's gone.  Off to the jewelers they go.  Before Stone looks at rings Sonny tells a sad story of going with his mother to window shop and how his mother was unable to afford a cameo ring she really liked and how once Sonny started working for Scully and had money the ring was gone.  Stone wants to limit how much he spends so he can give some of his $$ to Sonny for medical bills but Sonny wants no part of Stone's money.  Paying for Stone's treatment is the only thing Sonny can do.  With that Stone looks for a ring.  He finds nothing until the jeweler shows him a tray of antique rings. There's a cameo ring that's just perfect. but it is too expensive.  Sonny nods to the jeweler who informs Stone that whole tray is half off.  Sonny is touched that Stone picked out the cameo ring.  Stone heads off to meet Robin at the Outback. Stone talks about time and timeless things, and then gives Robin the ring and slips it on her finger. Stone tells Robin a happy ending version of Sonny's story when Robin wishes she had some information about the history of the ring.

The gang on a night picnic and Stone walks on stilts. Stone sees Jon Hanley at the Ward House. Stone does AIDS education at HS. Stone gets bad news about his t-cell count.  Stone calls Jagger and asks him to come visit.  During a concert in the park, Stone sees a guy with advanced AIDS who is very frail and he freaks at the thought of that happening to him. Jagger and Karen arrive, Stone finds the courage to tell Jason. Stone tells Gina about having AIDS and she shuts him out. Robin overhears and tells her off. The cast throw a party for Stone and Robin gives him the memory book of letters, everyone reads theirs. Mac writes Stone a great letter. Stone goes to see him, a fantasy sequence as Stone's view of what Mac thought Robin's life with Stone would be, very mafioso. Then Mac shares his fantasy of their future success, but a few moments later, Stone has a severe seizure. 

Stone bounds through the penthouse door and questions Sonny about his bruised face. Sonny explains what happened then asks if Stone had a good time at the party. Stone had a great time, and the memory book blew him away. People said things in the book that he had no idea about.  Sonny can't believe he would be surprised.  Stone relates how  it's different...expressing on paper something you couldn't say face to face, the power of the written word can say really heavy things quietly, with impact. Stone's getting to intellectual for Sonny. They laugh, the party was great, but Stone felt bad for AJ, he got a raw deal, Sonny doesn't agree. When did Stone and AJ become such good friends Sonny wonders.  "AJ not so bad, his jerk potential aside, he got a bum rap."  He's a Q, Sonny tells him, he'll survive. Stone inquires if Sonny going to the NY concert? Of course, Sonny tells him.  Stone's surprised, he isn't going to cause trouble is he? Miguel's his product, Stone corrects him that Miguel is an artist.  Sonny has every right to enjoy the perks, women love that.  Knock at the door  It's Lily, she's come with muffins for Stone (Ruby baked them). Stone comments on how  women love to mother him. Sonny wonders is she brought any for him.  The last one's for Stone Lily tells him (and Stone's not sharing).  Stone heads to his room, Sonny tells Lily he was just about to call her, would she like to join him in New York for a concert?

Stone and Robin are discussing the memory book.  Stone asks how she managed to get all of the letters and poems, and Robin teases that she had to threaten and bribe people.  He can't thank her enough. She tells him that the look on his face while he reads it is thanks enough; he looks "loved." He finds it all hard to believe.  He's read them all, except for one:  the one from Mac. Robin encourages Stone to read the letter from Mac. If he had anything negative to say, he wouldn't have put it in, and she assures him there's nothing between the lines. The letter goes something like this:  "When you first came into Robin's life I was so upset that I'd stay up late at night gnashing my teeth, but as long as I was up, I started to think about the kind of man I'd like to see with Robin, if I had a choice.  He would think of her before himself, commit himself to loving and understanding her, respect her intellectual gifts, bring valuable things from his own life to the relationship, be unconventional but understand the social contract, have a wide diversity of friends, be loyal to them, have humor, courage and then I realized that the guy sounded a lot like you.  Oh, I forgot one thing - he would think I was really smart and indescribably cool. "  Stone laughs and is so pleased.  He wants to go speak to Mak and thank him by himself.

Stone, at the Outback, tells Mac how much the letter meant to him.  He was so surprised.  Mac says he was surprised at what came out, too. He's sorry he didn't say it all sooner. The two imagine what it would be like if they'd always gotten along.  Stone says that he can picture what Mac's vision of the future would have been a few months back, and PRESTO, a fantasy of a grey-haired Mac receiving a visit from Stone, a pregant Robin, two gun-wielding bodyguards, and six or so small children, all dressed in black, with the Godfather theme song as accompaniment.  Stone kisses "Uncle Mac" on both cheeks, so does one of the young boys, who whispers, "Be nice to my daddy, or I'll break your legs!" Coming out of the fantasy, the two laugh, and Mack assures him that his fantasy was entirely different:  A fresh-faced Robin and Stone come in, and Mac congratulates Stone for being the first Tony award winner from Port Charles and for Shakespeare, too (You always made a great Romeo, he says) And Robin's a Shakespeare professor at Yale.  They're going off to work for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Mac as actor, Robin as consultant.  They have other news, too.  She's pregnant.  In both fantasies, Felicia is present, seemingly in her faithful friend role.  As the second fantasy ends, Mac and Stone smile, but realize it's not the future that counts.  It's the present. Stone is sitting with Felicia when she suddenly shouts.  Stone has fallen off his chair and is having a seizure!! Mac shouts for Felicia to call 911 as he cradles Stone's head.  It's bloody because he hit his head on the floor when he fell, and Felicia cautions Mac, who asks someone to get bleach from his office as a precaution. He tells Stone to hang in.  He's still in seizure, and Felicia tells 911 to send an ambulance fast!!

10/18 Stone is frustrated with the numbness of his right arm, right leg and the right side of his face.  Alan tries to tell him that it's residual affects of the seizure and that Alan doesn't know the immediate cause of Stone's seizure.  It could be one of the medications. They're running a few tests and when they know something they'll let Stone know.  As Stone thanks Mac Robin arrives and is upset to hear about Mac getting Stone's blood all over his hands but Mac tells her to worry about Stone. Mac excuses himself.  Stone is frustrated that he can't feel Robin's hand holding his. Stone is ready to give up the fight.  Lois is half in the room as Sonny gives Stone a moving "Rocky" speech and reminds Stone of all the people in Stone's corner. Once the "Rocky" speech is over Lois comes all the way in and Stone apologizes for making her have to replace him and for the $$ spent on his plane ticket.
Lois lets him know he's not replaceable and once he's up and around again his job will be waiting for him.

10/19 Alan tells Stone he has a brain infection. Stone faces the reality of impending death. Stone is of the "shoot me now" school, which upsets Robin.  Amy tells Robin about a blind date she had where he washed in the finger bowl. Amy's going to places where they have finger bowls?  Luke comes in and he and Robin talk.  She understands how Mac must feel when Stone bled on him, she was mad at Stone. She's worrying about Mac.

10/23 In Stone's room, Miguel arrives to spread the news about his departure. He promises Stone to sing his song at every stop on the tour.  It's not said, but everyone realizes this is the last time Stone and Miguel will see each other.  Robin cries. Robin goes back to Stone's room.  He bites her head off and snipes at every little comment she makes.  It's the steroids affecting his mood, making him mean. She leaves and runs into Tony.  She tells him about Stone's mood swings and anger.  He tells her it's the drugs. Later, he apologizes profusely for ragging on her earlier. She tells him it was just the drugs.  Then they hug and cry some more.

10/24 Robin is hanging around a war weary Stone in his hospital room. Much to his dismay, there is a knock on the door. MaeMae comes in bearing a gift of food. She can tell this is a bad time. Robin tries to cover but MayMae is okay with leaving. Stone feels slightly guilty and engages MaeMae in a conversation about whether or not to just end it all. MaeMae says when she was all the way down it was still with her that there was something to living.

10/25 Alan visits Stone's room with test results that show Stone does not have toxo so it isn't a brain infection. Alan is baffled as to what has caused Stone's seizures.  Stone rages at Alan for putting him on steroids for no good reason. Alan tries to point out if it had been toxo, an aggressive treatment with steroids couldn't have waited.  Robin is frightened as Stone has another seizure.

Stone Dvd #9  October 25 - November 29, 1995 - 4 hours
Tony's recommendation is a brain biopsy. The good news is the steroids will also be stopped, the bad news is Stone will have to have a haircut. Tony explains the procedure, Stone gives his consent and Tony will schedule surgery for the next morning. Stone is much happier without the steroids, in fact he's nearly punchy. Robin has brought scissors preparing for the surgery tomorrow, which Tony has set up with their "top resident" Dr. Dornan. Sonny finds out why the surgery is necessary. Cute montage as Stone and Robin cut his hair with "Changes" playing in the background.  Stone is visited by Sonny. He had  brain biopsy but we won't know the results until the next day.  Brenda pops in to visit him and Sonny starts to leave.  Stone begs the two of them to not be so angry with each other, at least in his presence. They agree. Later on at Luke's Club, Sonny admits to Luke that he's been angry for so long, he doesn't quite know how to be "not-angry".

In Stone's room , Robin and Sonny are keeping him company. The three docs come in and Stone tells right away that the news ain't good. The docs tell him its lymphomania and malignant. Stone has done some studying and knows that this means. There is no cure and the only treatment has vicious side effects. Stone says that's it, he his outta there. Sonny asks how long will Stone survive without treatment and they are told that he would have about 3-6 weeks to live. Is there a cure out there? The answer is no. Is Stone right to check out of treatment? They agree. The Docs leave. Robin is crushed and tries to Stone into treatment. Sonny is upset and leaves the room. Stone argues with Robin and presses home the point that he is better off being lucid and with the people he likes then drugged out and in pain anyway. Robin accepts this and goes to check on Sonny. He is in the hallway, sobbing. He tells Robin that he will go out to make Stone comfy and that Robin has an open invitation. They go back into the room and are surprised to see Stone dressing. He says he is going to Maxie's party. Robin is startled, but Sonny says, "Why not?" Besides, What kind of trouble could Stone get into anyway. They sneak out. Maxie was born on Halloween, so everyone arrives in costume for her birthday party. Felicia is a mermaid, Tony is a skeleton, Bobbie is a witch, Mac and Kevin are detectives Holmes & Watson. Bobbie tells Stone to let her know if there is anything she can do to make him more comfortable at home. Maxie is concerned about how Stone lost his hair? She asks her mom if Stone is going to die? Felicia responds honestly, "yes". Maxie with tears in her eyes asks if she can give Stone her guardian pumpkin. Her mom agrees.

Sonny tells Luke about Stone's diagnosis. Luke complains about what an ugly disease it is and no one should have to go through this. Sonny feels like there should be something more he could do for Stone. Luke assures him he has done everything, and he remembers the night Stone went bungy jumping off the bridge and the joy they shared that night, that he will never forget it. Sonny thanks him for that. Luke asks what happens now? Sonny says that Stone is refusing treatment and Sonny will take him home. He promises he will do whatever he can to make Stone's last few weeks as good as possible. Mike comes up and tells Sonny how sorry he is. Sonny tells Luke that he has to go back to GH to pick up Stone's things as he bailed to go to the party. Luke offers that if the kid wants a party, how about if they take Luke's Club to the penthouse one night and really rock the place. Sonny likes the idea.

Robin comes down from putting Stone to sleep. Sonny tells her that he and Stone were up all night playing 'remeber when' because Stone is worried about losing his memory. He then tells her that he won't be going to Philly for Mary Mae's gig. Robin says that if he doesn't go Stone will feel even worse if he believes that Sonny isn't going because of him. Sonny points out that she passed up on Yale because of Stone. She argues that is for a whole semester, this is for just one night. He teases her that she is turning into one pushy broad. She tells him that it would be good for Stone for him to go, that it would make Stone feel less sick if Sonny goes even for just one night rather than everyone sitting around counting the hours till he dies. Sonny says it just doesn't feel right. Robin asks if it is because Brenda will be there? He insists not though Robin doesn't seem to believe him. She surprises him when she admits that she used to be so scared of him, well maybe intimidated by him. She reminisces about the night they had dinner together, and he made pasta, and she snuck drinks of wine and got pulled over on a DUI on the way home. She sadly says that it is getting harder every day. He tells her that he feels like there is something he should have done for Stone. Robin reminds him of everything he has done for Stone. She says that when her parents died it was sudden and at least with Stone she has the chance to say goodbye though she says it will be a horrible day. He tells her how much Stone enjoys the memory book and he will ask Sonny to read letters from it, and mentions the letter from Felicia about how Robin has grown up and that is an understatement and gives her a proud kiss on the forehead. He says that when he found out Stone was sick that he knew it would get hard but he wishes that he didn't already feel like he was in mourning. Robin says that he doesn't act like it around Stone, that she is in awe of Sonny, that he knows how to make Stone laugh and he is wonderful to him, and he doesn't let Stone get away with anything. Lily arrives with chicken pot pies. Robin thanks her as Stone hasn't felt much like eating and this might do the trick. Lily says she just wishes she could do more.

Brenda stops by the penthouse to visit Stone. When Robin tries to explain where Sonny is, Brenda figures out he's with Lily. Robin lets Brenda know she understands how Brenda could fall in love with Sonny as Robin has seen Sonny's big heart. Robin also thinks she understands why Sonny pushed Brenda away. Like Stone, who worries about putting/having put Robin at risk, Robin thinks Sonny pushed Brenda away to keep her safe. Upstairs Brenda admits to Stone that she's going to have a hard time without him. Stone gets Brenda to promise to always take care of Robin and as they hug Sonny returns with some Cherry Garcia ice cream. With Brenda there he makes himself scarce downstairs. Before Brenda leaves Stone has something to say to her. He knows she and Sonny still love each other. Stone sees Sonny's friendship with Lily as one that happened because Sonny and Lily are alike and because Lily's been there for Sonny when he needed support. Stone figures neither Sonny or Brenda wants to make the first move towards each other. Once Stone is gone there will be cracks in the wall that Sonny and Brenda have built between each other. Stone hopes that Brenda will reach through those cracks once he is gone. Stone really wants them together and figures when he's gone the opportunity will be there. When Brenda comes downstairs to leave, she tries to talk to Sonny but he stops her. He can't handle what's going on with Stone, let alone anything else.

Robin asks Stone, "What are we going to do today?" and he says he's already accomplished a lot, he got up, he got dressed, he kept breakfast down. She suggests a walk or a drive, and he asks her to read to him while he considers his options.  She asks which book, Sherlock Holmes, Oliver Twist, or The Old Man in the Sea, and he says "let's go with the kid."  She checks where they were, and Stone says "the old guy just pulled him from the street after the other guy sprung him from the tank... kinda like me-n-Sonny."  She reads a few minutes and then explains it's getting sad, but it will get better.  He admires her reading and says how much the kids will like it.  What kids? Maxie and Lucas?  No, Stone explains, "our kids."  They head off into "let's pretend" land with daughter Anna and son Michael?  Nope, too many Michael's. Jason?  How about Sonny? Uncle Mac would hate that, so make it Sonny Malcolm.  Anna is 5 and Sonny Mac 3 because Stone wants him to have a girl to clear his path the way she did for him.  Will they live in the country with a horse? Stone asks "What's a horse?" and they decide to have a country house and a city one. They can afford it because Stone will have taken over Sonny's business and Robin will be a respected professor at Yale.  Not to forget the Porsche, the only conspicuous consumption they will have. Sonny comes in as they are discussing having a red bedroom and tells them that he is going to Philly with Lily.  Robin and Stone kiss.  Is that enough?  Robin says "there are never enough kisses, even if we have all the time in the world."  Stone tells her to get tested again.  He talks about her going on with her life.  He'll always be with her.  Robin says "We keep the people we love, whole, in our hearts and in our heads."

Stone and Robin await her test results. She claims not to be worried and to mollify Stone she calls Alan for the news; no news yet. Later that day, while Stone is upstairs sleeping, Robin answers the door and finds Alan on the doorstep. He comes in and gives her the bad news: her test is positive for HIV. An angry Robin declares that there must be a mistake. Alan gently tries to counsel her but she's far too upset. She doesn't know if she can be honest with Stone and tell him the test results. Robin is in supreme denial over Alan's diagnosis that she's HIV+.  She thanks Alan for stopping by and after offering a hug and his continuing support, he leaves.  Then she breaks down and the tears start flowing. While Robin is sitting on the couch, still crying and contemplating the ring Stone gave her, Stone comes downstairs.  He tells her about a dream he had, about the two of them going over a waterfall together, and a yellow fish and a blue fish talking to each other.  He woke up and realized the fish voices were downstairs; he had heard Robin talking to someone and wants to know who it was.  He tells her it was Mary Mae's music. Stone tells her about a gym dream he had.  Alan, Sonny, Brenda & Mary Mae are all at the gym pumping iron.  Stone is watching Robin on a bike, realizing her inner strength. Stone goes back upstairs and Robin starts tearing up again. 

She cries out for her mom's help. Robin's crying and desperately wants her mom.  From behind, we see Anna putting her arms around Robin to comfort her. Anna says that she loves her. Robin tells her she loves her too and she loves Stone, that falling in love with him was the most wonderful thing in her life. She doesn't understand how it turned out like this? Anna assures her that it is not over. Robin cries that it is almost over for Stone and now she is faced with telling him that she has the virus. She admits that it is her own fault that she knew about protection but she was just so in love with him that she didn't think. Anna says she can't blame Robin. She responds that she just doesn't want Anna to blame Stone or be made at him, that he makes her so happy and she is better because of him. Anna assures her that she loves Stone, of course when someone adores your child that she thinks that person is special. Robin wishes she could know Stone, that she would be good for him. Anna says that he has found his soul mate and he has good friends and he knows he is loved and he doesn't need Anna but Robin does. Robin admits how scared she is and begs her mother to make it go away. Anna wishes she could keep her daughter safe and fight this for her. Robin admires that no one is as brave as Anna and she always made Robin feel safe. Robin suggests that maybe she wants to die and then she would be with Anna. Her mom assures her that she is with her all the time and underneath the tears she knows that Robin has a blazing will to leave and that will be her secret weapon. Anna assures her that she makes good choice and to trust herself. Anna comments that Robin has always behaved with honor and that has made Ann very proud and she rather likes the fact that Robin is such a stunning young woman. She notices Robin's ring. Robin tells her that Stone gave it to her, and it feels like a part of her, that he gave it to her so that she would never forget him. She wonders who will never forget her after he is gone?
Anna predicts she will become a teacher and make a difference in the world. Anna promises her that she will live a long long time and that she will always be loved. The vision of Anna is gone and Robin curls up on the couch.

Kevin tries to assure Robin that her reactions which she calls denial are normal.  He also tries to assure her she's not on the same road as Stone. She doesn't have full-blown AIDS like Stone did when he found out he was HIV+.  He courages her to come to terms with her diagnosis so she can do the right things for herself.  Kevin also suggests she tell Mac, not because Mac needs to know but because she needs Mac.  He also poses the big question before Robin, whether or not to tell Stone and suggests that she could use Mac's advice.  Before he leaves Kevin reminds Robin of all who love her, but especially Mac and encourages her to let Mac be a part of this from the start. 

A little while later Robin says, "Daddy I'm so scared" and Robert appears, replying "Why shouldn't you be."  She's not scared of being HIV+ (well she is terrified) but is afraid of telling Mac and hurting him as Mac has felt like he's let Robert down.  Robert then gets Robin to consider what it would be like if she withheld the information from Mac now, only for him to find out down the road.  Robin realizes Mac will feel even more that he's let Robert down.  They agree there is no easy way or right way to do it.  Robert sits down beside her as he reminds her he and Anna taught Robin to value truth and honesty.  When Robert calls her brave Robin doesn't feel brave so Robert talks about the different kinds of courage, especially the courage to do what is right and the courage to support others.  Robert feels Mac hasn't failed him and will do right by Robin.  He enourages Robin to trust Mac. Robert kisses Robin and walks off towards the terrace doors and is gone.

Robin calls Mac at the Outback and he hightails it over to the penthouse. After telling Mac that he there because of her not Stone they sit down.  Robin manages to tell Mac why she had Alan give her another HIV test and that she's HIV+.  Mac is clearly stunned but it's only a moment before he gathers her in his arms.  Robin's sorry but Mac won't blame anyone, not her and not Stone.  He loves her.  What's happened has happened.  He points out that she and Mac are luckier than Stone who didn't have any of the advantages she has. Love and care.  She has time, love, strength and courage.  Robin has doubts but Mac doesn't because she has him and he promises he will never let her down.  Robin now wants Mac's help.  Should she tell Stone the truth?  Robin is concerned about hurting Stone but also can't see herself lying to him and tiptoeing around the truth.  When Robin talks of no lies between her and Stone so far, Mac points out that may be her answer.  She should think about it but do what her heart tells her is right.  Whatever her decision Mac will be there to help her.  As Mac and Robin hold each other again Robert is seen watching them.

Sonny and Robin are watching over Stone, all three asleep. Stone wakes up and is a bit ditzy: he's worried about getting "downstairs" to work at Luke's on time.  Robin, concerned, goes to call Tony, and is informed that this is a common side effect of lymphoma. They are to talk to him and he'll come back.  So she reminds Stone of their dream farmhouse, which confuses him.  Sonny sends her off and tells Stone that Luke called and doesn't need him today.  And besides, that's labor unworthy of him, he's going to be a big wheel record executive, and what kind of car would be fitting? Mac comes to see Robin, and asks about Stone.  He hugs Robin and asks, "Are you holding on okay?"

"I'm holding on for dear life", she replies.  When she's gone back to a sleeping Stone, Mac asks, "Robbie, where are you when I need you?"  Robert appears and says, "I'm right here."  Robert and Mac discuss that Mac has not failed, that Robin is a lovely young lady, that Mac is still needed.  Revitalized, Mac goes in and spells Sonny, telling him to go get some rest. They bond on some level, both with sick people they love. Mac sits vigil over Stone while Robin and Stone get some much needed rest. Stone awakens and tells Mac he knows it will be over soon, but he's not ready. A more lucid Stone asks Robin directly about her HIV test results, and she tells him them truth that she's HIV+. He is devastated by the news though she tries to paint a rosier picture saying she's very healthy. Mac visits Sonny and tells him about Robin's being HIV+. Sonny is agonized over the news. The two bond oddly over their common grief.  Robin enters and embraces Sonny. Mac tells Stone that he (Mac) was wrong to blame him about Robin, and he wants Stone to give himself and Robin a break and to not let the virus be all that's left. Mac helps talk Stone thru it. As Mac leaves, he grasps a grieving Sonny's shoulder in a sign of compassion. Robin asks Sonny to tell Brenda and Luke about her HIV+ status. Robin asks Sonny to tell Brenda, this results in the first real softening between them since the breakup.

Sonny shows up and the gatehouse and tells Brenda, "There's no easy way to say this, Robin's HIV postive." Brenda's eyes start to well up, and she shakes her head again and again. "No, she's not! No, she is not!" He puts his hands on her arms then catches her as she starts to faint. "No, she's not!" she protests again, and he hugs her close as she cries. "Oh, my God, not Robin!"
"We'll take care of her" he tries to interject. "No, not Robin," she repeats as her tears flow. Sonny doesn't know what to say to console her. They sit opposite each other quietly, and she says, "I'm sorry if I'm making this difficult for you." "It's not about me, Brenda." She thanks him for coming and telling her himself. "It would have been so much worse
coming from somebody else."
"I guess that's what Robin figured," he says. She shudders, and he says, "No, don't start imagining things. It doesn't have to be like it was for Stone." Brenda leans forward, as if she's nauseous, and he leans over and kisses her on the top of her head. He tells her, "Robin believes she'll live a long time. She said that there are people who've lived with HIV as almost as long as she's been alive. If she can hang on to that thought, so can we." Brenda nods. Brenda and Sonny are standing, and Brenda repeats the news, still in shock. "Robin is HIV positive. This is the worst possible time for this to happen, because she wanted more than anything for Stone to die thinking she was gonna be okay. Does he have to know?"
"She said there's never been a lie between them, and she doesn't want to start now."
"She just keeps getting stronger and braver."
"And the children shall lead them," Sonny quotes, with a wry smile. Brenda wonders if Robin asked Sonny to tell her because she doesn't want to see Brenda.
"No, I don't think that's the reason," he says.
"I've just got to get my head together. Robin is okay today, she'll be okay tomorrow, right? Right? That's as much as anyone can guarantee, right?"
"Yeah."
"She's not gonna look any different, she's beautiful, and she's so strong (Brenda stumbles over the words), a lot stronger than I am." She covers her face with her hands and they moves closer to
each other, then hold on for dear life as Ned and Lois walk in, wondering what's going on.

By the next scene, Brenda has filled the couple in. Lois sits beside her on the couch. "Oh, my God," Lois says. "Robin? No, I don't want to accept this. No, I can't. It's not supposed to be this way. It's not fair. She's good and decent and full of love and did everything right except miscalculate the risk of unprotected sex."
Ned asks, "You said HIV positive, not AIDS, right? She still has lots of time. We can help her make the most of it." Ned hugs Brenda, and Lois hugs Sonny.
Sonny says, "Robin doesn't want Stone to blame himself".
Lois agrees, "This can't be about blame because Stone and Robin they always showed us the very best that we can be, we can't let that get lost."
Sonny heads out to leave and reminds them, "You guys got each other. Help each other. It's not a good time to be alone."
"You, too," Lois says to Sonny.
"I'm hanging in there. You do the same." He exits. Brenda and Lois embrace.

Robin and Stone are sitting out on a porch, and she tucks him cozily into a wicker chair. She wishes that everyone else could learn her bad news by "osmosis." She hates to think about repeating it to everyone. This reminds Stone to ask her why she didn't have Mac tell Brenda. "And miss the chance of bringing Sonny and Brenda together?" she asks, and smiles. Stone understands. "Why is it that sad things can cause happy things to happen?" He tells Robin she's amazing. "Look who's talking. I've been having lessons in amazing lately." He tells her that, even dark and fuzzy, she's still the most beautiful thing he knows. She asks him, "Is it crazy to feel that we're incredibly lucky?"
     Stone says, "No argument here." Robin says that this moment of closeness is what she'll remember.
     "Me, too," she says. She rests on his arm, and closes his eyes; he looks pensive.

Sonny tells Luke about Robin's diagnosis, he is rocked by the news. Stone asks Sonny if Mike can be at the dinner tomorrow night? Sonny gives his blessing and Robin thanks him. Soon after, Laura arrives. She hands Stone her special Christmas angel, telling him that she's giving it to him to keep Stone safe. As Luke puts it on top of the tree, everyone starts to sing "Silent Night." Later that night, Robin wakes up and leaves Stone's bed to go look out the window.  Anna wraps her arms around Robin and wishes her "Merry Christmas" and love, peace and joy, though it's only the day before Thanksgiving.  Anna and Robin talk of the Christmas party Robin is throwing as Robin realizes that Stone won't make it to Christmas.  Anna reminds Robin that Stone will always be with Robin.  Robin comments, just like her mom and dad.  They then recall the first Christmas Robin spent with Anna, knowing Anna was her mom and that the love Robin got was the best present.  Anna urges Robin to have no regrets and to accept the gifts Stone has given Robin, love and hope.  Anna tries to convince Robin that there is hope for life and good work to do and time and friends and knowledge that the love one gives comes back 1000 fold.  Robin has something to celebrate.  Later in the day Robin helps Stone back to bed to rest after a busy afternoon.  There were lots of visitors, Jason and AJ as elves, with Tony as Santa.  Robin is checking out the tree when Robert asks "What are you looking for little girl?" He tries guessing her wishes but strikes out.  What Robin wishes for is complicated.  He recalls that when she was little Christmas was simple. Robin's wishes are that her mom and dad could be with her, she could have one more Christmas with Stone, have 100 more Christmases with Stone, and quiet in her head.  Robert wish is that he could grant her wishes.  He's amazed at her strength and courage and allows that there is plenty of time for sadness. His wish is to put her heart as ease and that's why he's given her his brother and his best friend.  The doorbell rings and Robert is gone.  Luke is at the door.  He's early and came by to talk.

Luke and Robin discuss her test results.  He remarks she is a Scorpio and her family manages to take bad situations and turn them around.  Robin talks of thinking about her parents and Luke reminds her of his promise to be there for her.  He's not going anywhere.  Robin heads off to help Stone get ready and as soon as she's gone Robert appears to Luke.  Luke will do anything for Robin and wonders if he should break a cardinal rule and try to see a lesson in all this. Luke always thought he could protect his loved ones but Robert tells Luke that all Robin needs is a friend, as he puts his arm on Luke's shoulder. The gang all get together to celebrate Christmas Eve, Luke and Mike cut down a tree. Christmas morning Anna visits Robin  again. The gang celebrates Christmas the day before Thanksgiving.  

Brenda and Robin hover over Stone. Stone asks Brenda to read out loud the letter from Sonny.  Halfway through the letter, Sonny comes in. He starts sobbing as Brenda finishes. Brenda consoles a sobbing Sonny. He tells her how the letter is just words, not at all what he really wants to give Stone.  Brenda reassures him that the letter is very important to Stone, he's taken how he feels about Stone and given it to him as a gift, and Stone enjoys sharing that with his friends. 

In Stone's room, Robin awakes and checks Stone's breathing.  He catches her. She's busted.  Stone is feeling spacey.  He wants to see her smile and to see it he traces it with his finger.  He wants to be together for every moment of the day. Stone has been moved to the chair and Robin describes the day, the sun, the sky, the lake, for Stone who wishes he could see it. They decide to "visit" their old "hangs" one more time.  Robin describes and they talk of visits to Kelly's, the docks, the park, Lukes and they cry and laugh as they remember the good times.  Stone wonders if Sonny and Mike will ever get it together, Sonny will need somebody. Robin predicts that there will be a reconciliation someday and Robin will be there for Sonny. Through tears Stone declares his love for Robin, a love that is from a place in his soul that he didn't even know he had.  Robin responds with similar sentiments and the tears flow.  Robin has helped Stone back into bed.  He asks her to  stand in the light by the window.  She does as asked and as he looks in her direction she gradually comes into focus. He beams as he says he can see her and then, as she moves towards the bed the look on her face changes, the tears start flowing.  Robin knows Stone has died.  She stretches out beside him putting his arm on her shoulder.

Sonny comes in and when he asks if Stone is sleeping just the look on Robin's face tells him Stone is gone. Sonny paces almost starts hyperventilating.  He repeats. "He's ok, he's ok." Downstairs Robin tells Mac how simple and quiet is was at the end.  She knew immediately that something was different.  The axis had shifted and Stone wasn't there.  But she also felt a tremendous love enveloping her.  Mac reminds Robin that's because she is loved.  The doorbell rings.  Robin answers it and it's Felicia.  Robin wonders if Felicia had hear Stone's gone.  Felicia pulls Robin into her arms.  When Felicia asks if there is anything she can do, all Robin wants is for Stone never to be forgotten.  Felicia tries to help Robin by telling Robin that she loved well but Robin doesn't know what she's going to do without Stone.  As they hug Brenda bounds in the open door but her mood shifts as soon has she sees Robin's face.  Robin and Brenda hug and as they do Robin reaches out her hand to Felicia.  Upstairs Sonny kneels at the side of Stone's bed, holding Stone's hand, then puts his head on Stone's chest. 

Mac picks up the phone and calls Luke.  Before Mac can tell him the news, Robin asks to talk to Luke herself.  Luke's reminds her of his promise and calls her "Luv" just like her parents used to.  At the Spencer's, Luke wanders from the kitchen to the dining room and Lucky comes downstairs.  Luke gives Lucky the news that Stone is gone. At Lucy's, Lucy gets off the phone with tears in her eyes.  She shares the news with Kevin who also gets tears in his eyes and his lips quiver.  Lucy puts her hand on Kevin's.  Back at the penthouse Felicia, Mac, Brenda and Robin join Lily and Sonny in Stone's room.  Robin is the one to tell Sonny it will be okay because that's what Stone would want though she doesn't know how.  Felicia says goodbye. Then Brenda tries to say goodbye but breaks down and it's Sonny who pulls her back and puts her in the chair and then sits on the arm while Brenda holds onto his arm for dear life.  Robin sits by Stone and tells all she wants a memorial service that will celebrate Stone's life and wants it as quickly as possible.  The tears flow as we fade out on Robin.  Sniff, sniff, sniff.

Robin decides to speak.  Later, Robin stays at the Penthouse to say her private goodbye to Stone, his ghost returns to comfort her. Later after everyone has left,Sonny is with Robin at the penthouse.  She thanks him for letting her stay the night.  Robin says she keeps thinking Stone needs something, then remembers that he's not upstairs anymore.  Sonny says Stone is still with them, he taps his chest over his heart, and says, "right here."   Later, Robin is standing alone in the penthouse livingroom, looking out the window.  An arm goes around her, it's Stone!
  "Don't be lonely.  I'm here.  I'm with you."  He says.
  "I know."  Robin responds.
  "Brave Robin! Wonderful, beautiful Robin!  I love you so much!"
  "I love you too"  Robin replies.  Sonny and Lilly come downstairs and see her standing alone, almost transfixed in the window.  Sonny asks if she's okay.  She smiles with tears streaming down her face, and says she's okay, she was just standing feeling close to Stone.  Sonny assures her that everything will be okay.

12/13 - Brenda shows up unexpectedly yet again, she immediately starts tearing into him about the sale of L&B. She tells him that he intentionally set the sale up to hurt her, rather than taking the easy way out. Brenda says she was stupid to have trusted him. He managed to unload L&B and settle a few scores at the same time. She's furious at him and Edward. She woke up at 4AM, and realized that since now he betrayed her trust, they're even! She says now he can let her in, let her help him. She will do anything she can to help him, to keep him out of prison. He is suspicious, and thinks she is trying to set him up. He then accuses her of wearing another wire! She angrily shoves him away, telling him that she isn't wired. She tells him that she will always be there for him as a friend, and offers him money if he needs it for his problems, and whatever else he might need. He tells her now way, keep the money and everything else. She leaves, but tells Prince that she was being truthful, and challenges him to do the same. Stone's ghost appears, and tells Sonny, "That was so lame". Sonny tells Stone that everything is under control, he's handling it. Stone says he's worried about him, and says he is looking bad. Sonny claims he's just working hard. Stone counters, saying yeah, working hard at hiding your feelings. Stone tells him that he really wanted Brenda to stay. Sonny argues that he has no time for feelings, they'd lead to him making mistakes and taking a fall. Stone tells him to let Brenda get close to him. Robin wanders in at this point. Robin is going to give some of Stone's things to his friends. Sonny hands her Stone's glasse, she thinks she knows who to give them too. She gives Stone's rings to Sonny. Sonny tells her that he will keep one, and he wants to give the other to Mac. He appreciates Mac not giving Stone any static towards the end and he thinks giving him one of the rings will be a good thing for Mac. Robin hugs Sonny and thanks him for everything, for being there for her.

12/14 - Robin gives Brenda a wallet that Sonny had given to Stone.  Stone's ghost visits her and urges her to keep reaching out to Sonny.  Kevin is in his office with Robin.  She reassures him about Luke.  She gives him the "magic glasses" Stone had for reading, and both Kevin and I break down.  He will keep them on his desk as a reminder.  He asks how she's doing, and she's written Yale asking them to reinstate her application, for the class of 2000.  That seems so scary.  "I know," Kevin agrees, "There's only 5 years and 2 weeks to the millenium."  Lucy bubbles in and Robin leaves.  Lucy admires Robin, "She could teach us all to stay calm in the face of emergencies." Kevin agrees. Kevin tells Lucy how much he misses Stone. Next Robin gives Ned a poster and a vest, and Lois gets a t-shirt from Stone. She tells them that she likes the idea of Stone's favorite things being with his favorite people. Sonny arrives at Mac's and gives one of Stone's rings to him. Sonny tells Mac how Stone admired him.  Mac slips the ring on, in a poignant moment. Sonny tells Mac how much he meant to Stone at the end, that he came through in the clutch and that was a very cool thing for Mac to do for Stone. At the Outback, Mac is looking at the ring when Robin comes in.  Mac wonders whose idea it was to give him the ring, and Robin assures him it was Sonny's.  Mac says "it was very generous of him, and decent." Mac and Robin talk about Sonny. Mac jokes that while he and Sonny have had a couple of civil conversations that he didn't think they were at the point of exchanging rings! Robin is happy that Mac is seeing past the rumors to see who Sonny really is.

12/15 - Robin stops by Luke's club to give Mike and Luke their gifts from Stone

12/27 - Robin is alone in the Scorpio house until she receives a visit from A.J. She talks about her sorrow, and about hiding behind being "brave, stoic, and cheerful".  She finds it hard to function at all - she misses Stone so much that sometimes she thinks she could die herself.  A.J. wishes he could help, but Robin tells him he can't, because she doesn't know what she needs.  A.J. suggests that part of it may just be to let time go by. He offers her a comforting hug - she comments that she likes the warmth, as she feels so cold inside. After A.J. leaves, Luke and Sonny arrive to deliver the wooden box containing Stone's ashes.  They explain their search and rescue mission, and Robin is deeply relieved to have the ashes for safekeeping.  Sonny reminds her that when she is ready, she needs to decide what to do with them. Sonny and Luke depart, and the episode's final scene is a series of Stone and Robin flashbacks, accompanied by Janis Ian's "When Angels Cry". This sequence ends in heartbreaking silence as Robin, sitting alone on the floor in front of her uncle's Christmas tree, clasps the box in her arms, rests her head on its lid, and cries.

12/28 - Robin and Sonny go to the bridge to scatter the ashes, and they talk about the bungee jump and Stone's wishlist.  Brenda comes, and Robin asks Sonny to accept her.  Robin scatters the ashes with flashbacks of the bungee jump, very impressive, three-hanky stuff.

January 3 - A few days later, Sonny arrives at the foundation where he gives Robin the letter from Stone.  He goes to leave so Robin can read the letter in private but Robin wants him to stay while she reads it.  He makes her promise she'll tell him to leave if it gets too personal.  Robin reads the moving letter but is unable to finish reading it aloud and gets Sonny to finish it.  Robin realizes how hard it must have been for Stone to write the letter but Sonny calls it a "labor of love." She wonders where Stone is? Sonny thinks someplace better where there is no pain. Robin breaks down admitting to Sonny how much she misses Stone. Robin worries about forgeting about Stone when she gets to the point of not thinking about him every minute.  But Sonny reminds her Stone will always be with her. She thinks of Sonny's mother and her own parents.  Robin is grateful for all those around her and suggests that Sonny let Brenda help him.  But there is no more Sonny and Brenda despite what Robin saw on the bridge when they scattered Stone's ashes. 

Robin, missing Stone goes to see Sonny, he comforts her. She tells him how busy she is, trying to keep her mind off of Stone. He tells her that no matter how busy she is that she will always miss Stone. She tells him that some days she starts thinking about him and she just can't stop. He tells her that shutting it out isn't going to work, that she has to let her mind go where it wants to go. She is afraid to let the images run free. He asks what she is afraid of? She says that it won't be enough, that she won't be able to handle that he isn't there anymore. A choked up Sonny tells her there will be days that she will miss him so much that she will think it won't ever get any easier. Those are the days when she has to remember his laugh, how his eyes lit up when she walked into the room and she will stop fighting it. He says it isn't easy to move on, he pulls her into his arms. Robin, on the bridge, thinks of Stone set to a montage to "Power to Believe".  Another sad night, Robin walks onto the bridge where Stone bungee-jumped.  She stands at the rail, obviously absorbed in poignant memories.  Unseen by Robin, Jason watches her with interest.

Robin comes by Luke's Club and stops short upon seeing a guy from the back wearing a Luke's jacket. She stops short with the image of Stone. Jason turns and asks if she is okay? She tells him that he looked like her friend who used to work there. Later that night, Robin and he meet up again. He finds out from Robin that Stone was her friend and the first valet.

Another night, Robin sat alone on the bridge clutching the stuffed toy she and Jason bought for the sick kid. Jason arrived and saw that she was crying.  "What's wrong?" he asked her. She is devastated by the death of little Jenna, the aids baby from Ward house. How much more will she have to take? Jason is amazed that she really seems to be mad.  She tells him that she is always mad, every minute of every day.  Why?  Because she is the kiss of death.  Everyone that she cares about seems to be taking a powder.  Why don't you and I take a powder too? she asks Jason. Then she proceeds to grab him by the hand and gets up on the top of the stone border.  She begins to sway from side to side and as her legs seem to go out from under her, Jason pulls her back to the ground.  He tells her its stupid to take your life. Robin states that she really wasn't going to do it (commit suicide), she just wanted to piss God off and show him what he was bringing her to. "Oh, like losing Stone, your boyfriend?" Jason queries. "Yes, like that and like the fact that I'm HIV+." 

As their relationship progresses, Jason lays directly on top of her and kissing her on the floor of the boxcar. She thinks she is ready to make love to him but Stone pops into her head three times as she kisses Jason. She sits up, angry and frustrated with herself, and she explains to Jason what is happening, and he takes it well. She realizes she just isn't ready to take that step.

Nurse's Ball 1996 - Jason and Robin talk. Jason doesn't see why Sonny is going to the Nurses' Ball or why Robin is speaking, and she tries to explain that getting a cure would make them less sad.

Luke compliments that was very generous, very classy. Lucy announces the death of Jon Hanley (Lee Mathis) and introduces singer Janis Ian who sings a sad lament, "When Angels Cry"  while we see images of Robin, Stone, and other GH people dabbing the tears from their eyes. Mac talks briefly and warmly about Stone, then presents Robin with a section of quilt in Stone's honor, touchingly wrapping it around her. Robin, the keynote speaker, delivers a very emotional and impassioned plea for compassion and understanding for the victims of HIV.  At the conclusion of her words, Jason, who was watching from the back, comes to the stage, picks her up, and carries her out. Robin and Jason are at the bridge in the dark, and she has Stone's quilt square. She feels embarrassed about "losing it" during her speech, thinks she blew it. Jason tells her it was great, and she responds with how pathetic it was. They discuss Jon Hanley, and Jason talks about how love, saying "I almost wish I remember how it felt." They talk about how she knew he would be there for her (Jason), and then she tells him that she dreams about the two of them being lovers (Jason & Robin) but just can't because of these feelings she still has for Stone. He understands.

August 19, 1996 - Stone's Birthday - Gina (Stone's sister) comes into Luke's Club, Mike says sometimes the sadness just sneaks up on Sonny. Sonny comes over and asks Mike to open a bottle of the reserve to celebrate Stone's birthday.  Gina says she thought she was the only one who remembered.  Sonny says he's sure Robin remembers too but she's out of town with a friend. Gina asks if it is a guy? Sonny says yes, "she's moving on, God bless her." Gina, Mike and Sonny toast to Stone.  Gina thanks Sonny again. Sonny says meeting her was like a gift from Stone.  Later alone in the club, Sonny lifts a glass in his own private tribute to honor Stone. Robin and Jason arrive at Montauk, Robin is a little somber but she says everything is perfect.  She and Jason go outside and stare into the night at the ocean.  Avoiding what's bothering her, Robin asks if Jason wants to go swimming? Jason calls her on it and says she doesn't have to lie to him, "ever." He asks what's wrong.  After a sad pause, Robin says it's Stone's birthday.  Jason comes over and holds her. Robin says she remembered about Stone's birthday when she signed the credit card receipt  and realized it was Aug. 19.  She thinks about last year when he was in the hospital getting treatment for CMV to try to prevent his eventual blindness. Jason remembers what Robin said at the Nurse's Ball, "It caused him unspeakable pain and stole his eyesight." Robin is amazed and touched that Jason remembered. Jason said he remembers every word of her speech and that she was "the bravest thing I ever saw." Robin says she didn't think she could get through her speech but when she looked up and saw him and he gave her strength.

But thanks to those assembled and others, she can fell hope again and she can see the future. Jason rubs tears from his cheek. She remembers those who did not make it: Stone, Jon Hanley and she tells everyone they must commit to eradicating this disease. Brenda and Karen meet in front of Stone's quilt panel.  Karen wonders what it was like for Stone at the end. Brenda tells her it was terrible, but the way that Stone faced death was inspiring. Karen admits that Jagger still feels guilty, blaming himself for his brother's death, and it's made him single-minded as a cop pursuing drug-dealers.  Brenda remarks that she's sure Karen and Jagger will get back together soon. Alone, Brenda "talks" to Stone.  She tells him that she and Sonny are together again and she's sure he's smiling down at them.

June 22, 1998 - Nurse's Ball Lucy She tells the audience that candlelight is more appropriate for the next part of the program for the reading of witness statements.

That collectively, we can find a cure for AIDS/HIV.  Then several people read witness statements: Edward, Bobbie, Jax, Ellen, Audrey, Nikolas, Monica and finally Robin. Lucy then thanks Jax, Stefan and Scott for funding the NB this year. Stefan gets up from his table and notices Luke standing near the entrance of the ballroom.  He confronts him about Luke's attempt to frame him for Katherine's murder. He vows to find her killer once he is cleared of any wrongdoing. Luke sarcastically asks him if he has any leads. Then he tells Stefan that he had no motive, except maybe to spare Katherine a life with Stefan. He tells Stefan that Helena is the one with the motive, though Stefan still believes that the trap on the parapet was originally set by Luke for himself or Nikolas. Luke replies,  "Blaming me is a habit you can't seem to kick." Lucy introduces the next act in the program, Ned and Emily. She tells the audience that the song was first performed for Stone Cates.
