Just Jason #10  June 26 - September 21, 1998 - 8 hour original edit

DVD #10A  Jason is getting ready to take Michael to the park. Sonny and Jason briefly discuss the Carlos situation. Then Luke drops by to talk with Sonny.  Luke is curious as to Sonny’s reason for returning to PC. Sonny tells him he is back because of business. Sonny is thinking about all of the things he gave up, maybe he should have left sooner, but he stayed because he wanted to be with Brenda.  He tells Luke that he gave up a lot trying to save Brenda and he’ll be damned if it’ll be for nothing. The bomb is ticking away, 27 minutes and counting. The bomb goes off, igniting the dropcloths surrounding it. The fire spreads very slowly throughout the warehouse. Mac was suspicious of Jerry’s coincidental appearance at the warehouse and Jason threatened to kill Jerry if he had anything to do with the fire. Robin, Jason, Brenda and Jerry feared that Sonny and Jax would perish.

In the aftermath, Robin and Jason are hovering the crime scene as Brenda sits forlorn on a crate. They attempt to convince Brenda to go back to the penthouse; even though firefighters pronounce that no one could live through the inferno, she refuses to accept it and just as she's about the leave with them, Jax and Sonny emerge from what's left of the structure. Brenda races towards the men, who both look hopeful that he'll be the one she embraces; we see Sonny's head turn to follow her progress to Jax. Jax explains that he escaped the blaze by following Sonny through a convenient trap door. Robin takes the opportunity to place laurels over Sonny's head for getting both men out. When Mac starts to question Jason and Sonny about the fire and the contents of the warehouse, Corinthos points a finger at Taggert as the culprit. Marcus rebuts. Tony happens to wander in, Taggert snarks that they don't have any kids for him to kidnap. Tony has words with Jason and Sonny.

At Sonny's penthouse, Sonny warns Jason that to retaliate against Jerry would bring more trouble than it would be worth. Sonny points out if he shows up with a bullet in the head that Robin will know who is responsible and it will hurt her. They do agree that Carlos' was involved and that he has to pay for this. Robin comes downstairs to express her joy that Sonny survived the fire. She goes on to thank him for shaping Jason's life in a way that made him her prefect mate. Jason comes back down with Michael, they lapse into jokes about Jason's cooking and enjoy a happy family-type scene.

Edward goes to see Carly Carly insists Jason will free her. She says all Edward cares about is being in control.  She knows Jason better than his so-called family. He insinuates that Robin has moved in. Edward leaves his card with his private number. She says she'll call "when pigs wear toe shoes."  He leaves. Later, Carly calls to tell him that Jason and Michael are coming to visit. Edward tells her to squeeze all these visits in, as she'll need her strength. Jason is getting Michael ready for Carly. Sonny's leaving tomorrow night through Canada. THey talk about Carlos and what happened. Mike shows up to see his godson. Jason and Michael leave to see Carly. Carly is happy to see Michael but is disappointed that Jason didn't bring any solid food to feed him since he just started on some. Jason tells Carly there is a small possibility that she won't go home tomorrow. THere might not be a decision right away. The judge might think it will look too suspicious to send her home right away. Carly is confident that she'll be going home and tells Michael she'll be home soon.

Robin arrives at Brenda's. Robin is worried about Carly's return. Brenda wonders if Jason has feelings for Carly. Robin says that no, he doesn't, but he also doesn't care that Carly uses him because he loves Michael so much. She's afraid that if Jason has to choose, he'll choose MIchael. Brenda thinks that Robin shouldn't worry. But Jason will always do what's best for Michael. And if he did choose Robin, Carly would make sure he'd never see Michael again. Brenda says he could sue for joint custody, but Robin says he wouldn't do that because it wouldn't be best for Michael. Brenda says Robin has to be prepared for a battle by beat smarter and stronger and meaner. Robin thinks she has the first two covered, but not the third. If Jason loses Michael because of Robin, it'll change everything between them and she can't let that happen.

Carly is telling Michael all of the things she's going to do with him. She's excited to go home. There are some things they'll have to talk about of course, about Robin. THey'll talk about that later Jason says and Carly agrees. He tells her again it's not a sure thing. He's never let her down before, she reminds him, and has faith in him. She asks for freshly squeezed OJ when she gets home, and he says he'll have it only if he knows for sure. She asks for muffins too. She thnanks him for everything and he leaves. She starts packing her things. Bobbie comes in and Carly tells her she's going home. Jason fixed everything. She won't have to stand trial. Bobbie congratulates her. What about Robin? Carly asks if Jason's more devoted to Robin or Michael and says that Robin will not be a problem.

Robin and Jason kiss and discuss Carly and Michael. Robin thinks it's best for Carly to come home for everyone. As long as they're together, too, it's okay with her. Brenda gives Robin info about her upcoming photo shoot. They discuss Bren's lack of interest in modeling. Sonny enters Luke's office to say goodbye. Carly jubilantly tells the orderly that she is going home that night and is surprised when Tony enters the room. They spar and jab, Tony compares her room with a jail cell.  She tells him she is going home and he calls her deluded, Jason and Robin are doing to her what she and Jason did to him [Tony] except that they don't need to keep it a secret since she is locked up. Carly pounds on her door demanding that Tony be thrown out.  Tony keeps lobbing shots at her by speculating on Jason's and Robin's 'glow' and obvious, intimate, physical relationship.  He then speaks of Robin raising Carly's son, taunts her a bit more and leaves.  Carly seethes and looks worried. Then to the penthouse so that we can watch Sonny say goodbye to Carly's baby while Jason and Robin look on approvingly like proud parents.  Robin, Jason, and Michael are at the penthouse window together looking like the perfect picture of family bliss.  Sonny gets in a limo and leaves.

Carly's therapist/doctor arrives and tells her she'll be transferred to a county facility so that she can stand trial.  Carly insists he is wrong, he leaves looking concerned about her mental health.  She talks to herself: I can't go to prison, I'm suppose to be crazy.  Apparently it never occurs to her that crazy people are frequently not released from mental institutions. Jason and Justus go to Ferncliffe, they've got Carly's release papers, but are stunned when the doctor informs them Ms. Roberts is too whacked out to go home. The doc says Carly is operating under the delusion that Jason's been busy making a home for her and Michael. Bobbie enters Carly's room and is greeted by the sight of her daughter clutching a pillow she claims is Michael. Bobbie buys into the act when Carly calls her "Virginia," and shows no enmity or upset when Robin's name is brought up. Bobbie leaves, disturbed.

Bobbie finds Jason and Justus in the doctor's office and gives the report. In the process, Jason goes ballistic when he learns that Tony Jones was the last visitor Carly had prior to wigging out. This time he demands Carly's release over the institution's incompetence, but gets rebuffed. The doctor wanders off and Jason tells Justus that he knows Carly's bluffing. Justus admits they have no legal options at the moment. Alone, Carly picks up Jason's picture and expresses her frustration and disappointment at him for not getting her out. Instead, she says, she'll get herself out. Jason is arguing with the doctor about taking Carly out and about seeing Carly.  The doctor, certainly not the brightest shining light in the field, says, "if it turns out [seeing Tony] was a mistake, I am not going to repeat it."  They are sending Carly to the state penal psychiatric facility at Ferncliffe.  "Don't shoot the messenger," he says.  Carly won't be able to see Michael. She can't see anyone for the first two months.  The dimbulb conveniently leaves and Jason looks at the files. He calls Justus.

Jason goes into the room and sees Carly.  He throws the pillow across the room and asks Carly if she has any idea what she's done. Carly yells at him, and he yells at her, Carly responds, "I fought for Michael.  Robin fought for Tony. Does anyone but me see the irony in this?  You have NO RIGHT to give her my baby!"  He tells her she's blown it.  She wasnt listening when he told her how it was going to happen. "You were THAT close, Carly, THAT close!  But you had to lie instead.  You had to lie!" She is convinced she can fix it.  She'll tell him she was faking.  He tells her she will go to prison if she does. Jason tells her about Ferncliffe.  She wants him to fix it.  "You can't agive up on me.  You're all I have."  She tells him to tell Michael about her every day. "Promise you won't give up on me, OK?"  He promises.  Carly promises she will never doubt Jason again.

Jason accuses Edward of manipulating Carly.  They argue over whom Michael belongs to.  AJ interjects and asks Jason if he really thinks about Michael when he shuttles him off to islands unknown in order to conduct mob business.  "Was he safe?"  he asks, "Or is it acceptable to take the same risks with Michael that you take yourself?"  Jason insists that he will protect Michael. He accuses that the Q's want to own Michael.  He then says he'll have to make the Q's listen by taking away the thing that they really want, money. He threatens to muck up the dock renovation. Alan interrupts and shows just how far gone he really is by actually quoting The Captain and Tenille, "Love will keep us together,"  he says, and then decides that what they really need is a nice picnic.  "You're stoned,"  Jason says, stating the obvious, and then lobs a new grenade Edward's way, surely no one will award custody of Michael to a family with a junkie in the house.

Mac proudly hands Robin the registration forms for Yale, but Robin says she's decided not to go back there.  They argue over Jason and the right college.  Mac says Robin is using Jason to avoid getting on with her life.  Robin redirects the conversation, "Just like you're using me right now?"  Robin says Mac's focusing on her to avoid thinking about his wedding. She accuses Mac of being too casual about the whole thing.  Mac says he and Filly have known each other for years, so getting married really isn't a big deal.  "I think it's just the opposite,"  Robin observes. Mac says he has a lot of other things to contend with right now, the Hospital murders and Katherine's death.  Robin shifts gears,  "Stefan goes on trial soon,"  she says. She asks if Nik will be called to testify, and Mac says yes.  She asks if she will be, and Mac replies that he doesn't know.  Robin says she doesn't want to be surprised.  Mac sees his opportunity and commandeers the conversation:  "Well, surprise me and sign up for classes at Yale," he says.  Robin restates her position (no way) and leaves.  "Don't even think of bringing Jason to the wedding," Mac mutters to the closed door.

Jason's on the phone telling someone to ruin the dock project. Bobbie drops by to see Michael, but he's asleep.  She and Jason chat about Michael and how good Jason is with him.  Jason tells her that Carly was faking her dementia. Bobbie is angry over the deception.  Jason tells her that  Carly thought she had to do it to stay out of jail. Bobbie softens.  She tells him about her restraining order against Tony, but makes it clear that she doesn't want him "taken care of." Jason assures her that Robin wants the same thing.  He leaves to get Michael as Robin walks in.  She and Bobbie chat about Carly and Bobbie asks Robin how she likes taking care of Michael. Robin says that she loves Michael and she's happy to care for him.  She assures Bobbie that she's never take him away from Carly.  Bobbie seems content with that.  She's happy Robin's there to help care for Michael in Carly's absense.

Jason took Michael for a picnic in the park and met up with Bobbie and  Lucas. Bobbie explained to Lucas that Jason was part of  their extended family and then allowed Lucas to play catch with Jason. A hidden Tony observed all and later came face  to face with Bobbie. After learning that Robin was not returning to Yale, Jax and Brenda were unsuccessful in convincing her to leave Jason. When Jason returned from  the park, Jax told him to leave Robin if he loved her. After  being told by Jason to go to hell, Jax tried to resolve the slowdown on the docks project. When Jax accused Jason of extortion, Jason implied that he could get Jerry in hot water with the Feds.  Jason replies to Jax's threat with his own. If Jax calls in the Feds it will cause trouble for Jax too. Jerry has been stupid in leaving a trail from Carlos back to his personal accounts. Underlying this threat is the fact Jason knows the Jacks family launders money for the Organization. Robin and Brenda are drawn in to the argument as well. Robin calls Brenda on defending Jax. He's an inside trader, he caused the breakup of Ned & Lois, and is protecting Jerry. How is he so different from Jason, who would do anything to protect Michael? Jax says there's no comparison since he doesn't kill people. Robin separates herself from Jason's business, why can't they separate their friendship from it? Emily comes in, visibly upset. She tells Jason that Alan hit AJ.

Jason and Emily talk about her trip. Just because modeling isn't something Jason would do doesn't mean he won't support her. Emily tells Jason about Alan and about the accident they had. He promises not to tell any of the Q's. Emily tells Jason how grateful she is that she has somewhere to go. Jason tells her she can always call him or come stay with him. Robin looks on as they hug. Robin asks Jason if he only listened to Jax because of her. He admits he would have otherwise thrown Jax out. Robin tells him that every time he holds back because of her it's like a small gift and she thanks him for it. She says the only thing that could hurt her is leaving Jason, and she'll never do that again. She's off to Brenda's and they kiss again and again. Jax comes to the same conclusion with Brenda. Jason would never have put up with him if not for Robin. He's going to hide Jerry's involvement with Carlos and then go after Jason again. He doesn't know that's only the tip of the iceberg. Brenda says she loves him, even when he gets her in a fight with her best friend over something she doesn't care about.

Justus has no regrets working for Jason. He's the best he's seen Jason says. It was a waste of talent working at ELQ.  Jason says Justus is respected and could pretty much take over the business. Jason said if he made any sudden moves, Justus would be the first to know. Justus plan on being there for a long time. Jason has to go but Justus stays. He goes to say goodnight to Bobbie and tells him he would go out with Lucas again anytime. Taggert and Jason run into each other on the docks, Tagger threatens Jason by saying "the higher they fly, the harder they fall."

Jason has Michael down at the pier and talks to him about life and what's going on there. AJ shows up and wants to know why no work is being done on the docks. He'd like to get closer to Michael but Jason says no. AJ also wants to know about Jason's protest against the family. AJ feels nothing exist between the two but business and he's real upset that AJ hurt Carly. He wants them all to leave Michael and Carly alone. AJ thinks he's using extortion to get back at them. AJ suggests letting Michael to come to the house a few times a month - Jason doesn't want him around Alan who's a junkie. He even suggests allowing Emily to live with him if she doesn't want to go back. AJ suggests Michael's in danger from Jason. Jason hopes AJ's finished. AJ lets him know he can't shut down ELQ. AJ believes this is payback for what he did and Jason says he made a liar at him. AJ was trying to get at Jason, he thought Carly would turn on Jason, he thought Carly would turn on Jason, he thought did it to him and Tony. So for now the docks project is how he's going to pay. AJ reminds him how people are going to get caught in the middle.

Robin wishes Jason would go with her to Mac and Felicia's wedding.  Jason doesn't think Mac would appreciate his presence.  Robin vows to make Mac see what a great guy Jason really is. Robin walks up and greets him, and Nik gushes over her appearance. They discuss Katherine and then segue into Mac's wedding.  Nik asks if Jason's meeting her at the church, and Robin tells him Jason's not coming.  Nik and Robin arrive.  Robin talks to Mac and tells him to relax.  Mac bristles at bit at Robin's choice of dates (a Cassadine), but admits he's the better choice compared with Jason.  Nik asks Robin if it's okay that he be there.  Robin says Mac is just nervous and didn't mean what he said.
    
Justus has the dirt on Jerry Jax:  all that's missing is the Central American connection.  Jason says they don't need it; there's already enough to run him out of town.  Justus doesn't agree: "You can't have too much on a guy,"  he says and Jason is satisfied. Jason repeats his promise made to Sonny that he'd keep Jax out of his family's dirty dealings for Brenda's sake.  gain, Justus disagrees.  Jason tells him to drop it.  Alan pays Jason a visit at the penthouse. Alan clumsily tiptoes around his point that he wants drugs.  And he wants Jason to get them for him.  Jason refuses.  Alan begs.  Jason tells him to leave. Jason returns downstairs,  after putting Michael down for a nap, and finds part of the room ransacked. He discovers money missing, as well as his gun and Alan is gone as well. Jason calls Monica to warn her about Alan, telling her that Alan was there and asked Jason to help him get drugs. When he told Alan to get out, Alan went berserk and, when Jason went to put Michael to bed, Alan apparently went through Jason's desk, taking money and his gun. Monica is very worried, of course.

He has left home and is living in the same boxcar that Jason used to crash at.

Luke shows up and isn't happy that Lucky is going to be working for Jason. Jason's trying to feed Michael which isn't working out to well. Robin must leave to go and meet Brenda for a late lunch regarding L&B business. Robin notices Jason has a camera and asks if he's taken up a new hobby. He's just taking pictures of Michael every day so Carly can see his progress. Robin is at Brenda's, calling the restaurant to says she'll be late and Brenda comes down the stairs. She's late as well. Brenda tells her very best friend she thinks she is pregnant. She's not actually sure because she hasn't taken a test but is scared to find out. Robin thinks it could be great and Brenda isn't too sure Jax will be excited. She's also afraid that she'd make a horrible mother.  Robin urges Brenda to go to a doctor and let Jax in on what she knows. Robin thinks her friend is lucky and Brenda apologizes for not having thought of Robin's feelings. Robin goes back to Jason's and plays with baby Michael.
    
Jason lets Justus know he gave Sonny his word and Justus tells him he promised him to always be truthful. Justus believes that with a few breaks Jason can be twice whatwhat Sonny was. Jason doesn't want that though. Justus informs him that he will either get bigger or he will go down. Jason is not too happy with what he's heard. Robin and Brenda meet up at Jake's; Brenda came in all jazzed about a band she wants to sign to L&B, kept quiet about her feelings of Robin's new living arrangement, and confided that she wasn't pregnant after all. The ladies ran to the bar's back room when the band started, and were spied by a couple of skanky dudes in the process. Coming back from the show, Robin opined "They should change their name to 'We Suck.'" Brenda countered that she was really more interested in the guitar player, who she wanted to reinvent. When the two headed for the backstage door, they were followed by the aforementioned skanky dudes. Waiting at the back door, the two ambled up and claimed to be friends with the guitar player; also, they recognized Brenda and invited the gals to join them at an after-party in their room."Uh, yeah, later," the gals say as the skanky dudes wander away. Jerry and Jax follow the dudes outside to find them all over Robin and Brenda. To scare them off, they give a song and dance along the lines of "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Him, Lucille," and, getting the idea that the ladies are even skankier than themselves, they tuck their tails and run for safety. Later at the penthouse, Robin advised Brenda that trying to repeat the Eddie Maine affair might not be a good idea.
    
Robin enters the PCPD and asks Mac about his honeymoon.  They exchange pleasantries, and then Robin tells Mac that she's moving in with Jason.  Mac is, of course, less than thrilled.  Robin reminds him that she grew up with danger all around her, Anna, Duke, Robert, the mob, the WSB, her mom being police chief and spy!  Mac replies that it isn't exactly comforting that she's taking her life lessons from three dead people. Mac explains to Robin that Jason does the kind of things that Robert and Anna fought against.  "I love Jason,"  Robin repeats.  "I want him to love you enough to live inside the law,"  Mac replies, "and until he does, I'm gonna come after him."  Robin considers herself warned, and they hug.
    
Jason gets a call saying Mike's been arrested. He has to go bail him out. Robin is supposed to be going out with Nikolas, so he says he'll get someone to watch Michael, but Robin tells him she'll take him if he wants. He tells her Renaldo will have to go with her and she says that's fine. So she takes Michael. She goes to meet Nik at the PC Hotel and they sit and have coffee. Nikolas says he's finally glad to meet Michael. She asks how the trial's going and he says terrible because he thinks his testimony incriminated his "uncle". They talk about who they saw on the parapet and they both say it could have only been Katherine. She had the same dress, hair style everything. Then Brenda shows up. Nik offers her a seat and she takes it. She holds Michael and looks at him like she wants to have one of him. She gives him back to Robin and they sit and chit chat for a little bit. Then Robin says she has to go because she has a date with Jason and she leaves. Nikolas and Brenda remain and Brenda asks about Lulu. He tells her it was her birthday party and they talk about that for a bit. She tells him she knows his mother left him. She says she just heard it around. She tells him her mother left her too, but the big difference is, his mother came back.
    
Jason gets to PCPD and starts filling out the forms to have Mike released while Taggert harasses him. Taggert tells him if they ever get Sonny, Sonny'll turn him in, so tell them where he is and he'll get full immunity. Jason says no. Mike then jumps in and tells Taggert off. Jason stops him and says that this is what Taggert does when he's bored and has nothing else on him. He then says "It's never worked and it never will. Bye." and leaves. They get back to Jason's and Mike wanders around lost. They talk about how much they miss Sonny, and how at least Jason gets to know where he is. Jason said he felt lost when Robin was in Paris, so he knows how it feels. Mike comes down a while later and says he's going to go but Jason tells him Michael and Robin will be back soon so he stays. Bobbie comes by unannounced and tells him sorry for not calling but she had an urge to see her grandson. He tells her she never needs to call, but he'll be back any minute because he's out with Robin.

Jason says there will always be room for Carly. He then gives her a letter Carly wrote. She writes like she's crazy but there's little subliminal messages in it. Bobbie reads it and then Jason reads it to Michael when he gets back. Bobbie comments to Mike that everything looks good, except there looks like there's no room for Carly.

She says to Mac, "I don't think that man's rude." During the evening, Mac is awkward.  They're chatting and Mac pulls Georgie away from Jason. That does it, the girls are sent upstairs and the adults start in.  Mac tells Robin and Jason that he's not apologizing.  He want's no more blood or broken glass. Robin fights. She starts to leave.  "It's not his fault that I can't stay away from him."  Mac says her pill-taking could be made useless by a bullet. Robin counters that she doesn't want to miss anything.  "You want me breathing and I want to be alive.  They're two different things."  Mac warns Jason. Jason and Robin leave. Felicia hugs Mac.  She says they'll work on it.  Mac calls Taggert.  He wants Jason locked up.  Pull out all the stops.
    
Robin shows up at Brenda's house, and they talk L&B business. Brenda is keeping L&B afloat with income from her modeling.  Robin is quiet as the talk segues into wedding-talk.  She asks Brenda if Jason is invited to the wedding.  Brenda is surprised by the question. "Of course he is." Robin is talking to Brenda on the phone and she says that she'll ask him. Jason walks in then and knows that she's talking about him. He wants to know what she needs.

Mac is with Robin and they talk about Stone and how he was a good person and that's why Robin nursed him when he was ill.

Robin says that after Stone died she was lost, but one night she went to the bridge and there was Jason. He had no past or anything, and he was fearless. He always says Robin taught him how to love, but Robin thinks he taught her. Mac tells Robin that he's glad they had this talk about Stone and the time to clear the air. Robin asks if he's ever going to stop worrying about her but he tells her not to count on it that she is his family. She says she's never going to stop loving Jason, either. Jason comes in and Mac apologizes for the other night. Jason says thank you and Mac leaves. Jason says that it's Stone's birthday and Robin is surprised since he's usually bad with dates. He says he remembers things like that. She says that's not the only anniversary there is that it is also the  anniversary of the day she fell in love with him.
    
Robin is singing to Michael and Jason has a cake for them for their anniversary. They both wish that they'll be together forever and kiss.. Jason and Robin are still eating cake and they talk about what they did last year on their anniversary. Jason never thought he'd get her back but he's glad she's here. They tell each other they love one another and Jason asks Robin if she wants her present yet. She is surprised and he gives her a ring and asks her which finger she wants it on.

Most of Port Charles is at Luke's for the party, Brenda booked her very first L&B performance, who is supposed to perform at Luke's. But Luther never showed Ned fills in. Jason and Mike played pool in the back room and Jason told Mike he wants to keep everyone he loves safe, and its a hard thing to do. As Robin was leaving the club, Mac told her that he loves her and just wants her to be safe, there were no harsh words. Jason, Emily, and Nicholas also came out of the club, Nicholas walked Robin to the car, Nik kisses Robin’s hand and bids her good-bye. As Robin walked towards the car, it was a total remake of the Lily go boom episode. The same music, everything was in slow motion.Jason looks over at Robin and smiles at her; she waves to him. Robin approaches the car; Jason waves back. Jason is looking at Robin and she looks uneasy as she get close to the car. Jason gets an odd look on his face, and starts to run to her. Robin sees him running, looks worried and starts backing away from the car. Jason reaches her, picks her up and starts carrying her away from the car,  it explodes and they fall to the ground, Robin in Jason arms. (End of slow motion] Mac comes running toward them; Jax, Brenda, Ned and Alexis come out of the club after hearing the explosion; Em is screaming for Jason; Brenda is freaking out. Jason carries Robin over to the front of Luke’s. He is visibly shaken. Robin is  unconscious, but is breathing. Ned calls 911. Mac wants to know how Robin is; Jason tells him not to touch her until the ambulance arrives. Jason asks Em to call the penthouse and check on Michael. The find out Michael is safe. Jason is crying, begging Robin to wake up.  Robin wakes up and asks what happened. Jason tells her she didn’t die.
    
Inside the Club, Taggert tries to question Jason and Robin about the car bombing, asking if they saw anything suspicious. Mac asks Jason why he ran to Robin. His reply: “Instincts.” Taggert starts going off on Jason and Mac stops him, saying they can continue in the morning. Alexis interjects that the Jason’s questioning should continue. Robin asks for privacy with Mac. Mac wants her to come home with him after she goes to the hospital, but Robin says no. She asks him not to go to the hospital with her either, because he will just fight with Jason and that is the last thing she needs right now. Mac reluctantly agrees, but tells her that Jason has some explaining to do tomorrow. Mike offers to take Robin and Jason to the hospital. Em tells Jason she is glad he is all right, he apologizes for scaring her. Brenda tells Robin that she will stop by the penthouse tomorrow.
    
Jason is waiting for Robin to finish being checked out. Mike tells him that he checked in with the penthouse and all of his cars have been checked and all is safe. Mike asks him what he will do now. Jason tells him it doesn’t matter who’s fault it was, it only matters what he does about it. Robin approaches them, telling Jason that she is fine. There is no concussion, no broken bones just a cut on her forehead. He thanks Mike for all of his help and Mike tells him that he will stop by tomorrow. Jason tells him to call first, since he will be screening all visitors. Jason hugs Robin and they leave. Robin and Jason get home, ask about Michael. Robin goes to see Michael. Jason asks Benny is he was involved in the car bombing. Then he realized that it was Moreno. He asks Benny to find out if any of his associates are working with Moreno, including Justus, since he’s been acting so strange lately. He asks Benny to take care of Reynaldo’s funeral arrangements and to tighten security. Benny asks when Jason plans to retaliate. He says soon, before Moreno has a chance to try again. Leticia comes downstairs and Jason asks her if she wants to quit. She says she’d miss Michael and that Jason is a good boss.

Robin comes downstairs with Michael and hands him to Jason. Jason tries to explain to Michael that bad things happened, but that they are all safe now. He tells Robin that he almost brought Michael to Luke’s tonight and he could’ve been in that car. Jason realizes that whoever killed Reynaldo and almost killed Robin wouldn’t have cared if they killed Michael. With tears in his eyes, he says he wouldn’t know what he would have done if Robin had been killed. He asks her if she understands that he has to do something about the bombing. Robin understands that he loves her and Michael and would do whatever it takes to keep them safe. But there is more than one way to deal with this and she has faith that he will choose the right way. They tell each other that they love each other and that is more important than anything. Jason tells Michael about Reynaldo’s death, that he was the intended target. Robin takes Michael to bed. Jason walks over to the windows, deep in thought about what to do now.
    
Jason stands at the penthouse window looking remarkably like a taller, younger, blonde, more aloof, Sonny. When Robin, sporting that charming tiny bandage as a sign of her ordeal comes down the stairs he tells her now he knows why Sonny spent so much time looking out of that same window, and what he was doing. He was reliving the moments when Lily walked away and stepped into the limousine and the explosion, over and over again. He tells Robin that he understands if she wants to leave him. Robin pledges her devotion and says she knows he will protect her. She asks him how he knew the bomb was about to go off, and Jason says instinct.  He saw a silver thing on the bumper and he thought of Lily.  Brenda and Robin have lunch together at the PC Grill. Veronica enters, Brenda confronts her by throwing a glass of water in her face. Veronica responds in kind. Robin leaves them alone to talk.
      
Robin goes to the police station to give her statement. Nikolas is there and offers to stay with her since she is uncomfortable. Robin accepts. Taggert tells Mac that he thinks Monica is about to deliver the goods on Justus and Jason. Robin and Nikolas enter. Robin and Mac have a terse exchange and Mac leaves. Taggert asks Robin if she found it strange that she was walking alone to the car the night  of the explosion. Robin responds, “Why would I?” Taggert asks if Jason has set up a counter move, has Moreno’s name been mentioned. Robin and Nikolas leave without answering. Moreno is in the police station and offers condolences to Robin for the other night, Robin walks away from him.  Moreno then joins Taggert in the interrogation room. Nikolas asks Robin how she can stand living in Jason’s way of life. Robin defends Jason (again) saying he is only violent when his loved ones are threatened. She explains who Moreno is and tells Nik that she is afraid of Moreno. Jason is in the penthouse with Michael, talking about how he can't take him to the park because he is in "trouble." He promises that Michael will never pay for what he's done. Robin enters  and they talk about Michael and about Jason "handling this" aka, the bombing. Robin brings up having A.J. know the truth about Michael. Robin argues her point, but Jason keeps his ground. Emily comes in and tells Jason that Edward is trying to get Michael from Jason again. Emily and Robin come back with pictures they drew to make Michael feel like he is in the park.
    
Jason is at the penthouse talking to Michael and showing him boats from the window. Michael has a stuffed animal the he plays with while Jason reminds him of the day that he might die and explains that he might die again. Probably not, he reflects, but if he doesn't come back, that'll be why. Michael momentarily takes a fascination with Jason's mouth and covers it with his hand. Jason keeps taking his hand, but it never really works out. He does manage to tell  Michael how important he is and puts him back into his play pen just as Robin warily descends the stairs. Jason crosses the room and picks up his gun, loading it while Robin watches.  Robin looks at him, wide-eyed, and states that she doesn't know him when he acts like this. Jason  reminds her that she trusted him to handle this. Robin starts to cry "I don't want you to get hurt!"  Robin insists there are other ways, but Jason will not be put off. He announces "It's time", goes and looks down at Michael and repeats another variation on what he said at the window. He starts to leave and Robin stops him, "Promise me you'll be home tonight." He walks back to her and give her a deep kiss, then hugs her. He pulls back, tells her that he loves her, then starts for the  door. Robin grabs his hand, crying, and Jason pulls it away. He walks out, leather jacket in hand.
    
Jason is pointing his gun at Moreno, who's looking pretty scared. Jason kicks his chair to turn it around. Jason asks why Moreno seems surprised to see him. Moreno says he isn't surprised at the retaliation, he's just surprised that Jason's doing it personally. Jason says that when he goes after territory and things like that, then it's expected, but when he tries to kill the girl he sleeps with every night and wakes up with every morning, then it gets a little personal. Moreno asks him to be able to say a prayer before he dies, or give him a little forgiveness. Jason tells him he doesn't want to kill him, but that he has a job for him, his. Moreno is surprised, and asks if he's nuts. Jason says no, he can have his job on two conditions. One, all of his men stay in place, and two, no one close to him gets hurt. Moreno tells him he can only speak for himself, and also tells him it's impossible to get out of the mob. Jason says it's never been tried by him. They agree on three weeks and Jason leaves.
    
Robin is holding Michael and telling him how good Jason is at his job. She tells Michael about how hard Jason fought against things when she first knew him. Robin tells Michael all about what she did for him, what she taught him, and somehow he still doesn't  understand that something are just wrong and she should have told him not to work for Sonny from the beginning.  AJ arrives to offer that olive branch. They talk about Renaldo, then AJ asks about Jason. Robin takes Michael upstairs.  AJ gets a little snippy with Robin. AJ does tell her that Edward is crazy, but he's hoping it won't effect the dock renovation. Robin states that Jason might listen to him. AJ asks if Michael was carted off upstairs because Jason doesn't want him near any Q's. Robin tells AJ how she understands how important it is for Michael to see the Q's and she knows better than anyone that Michael is going to need the Q's. AJ asks if it's crazy that the family be able to see the kid on holidays and birthdays. Robin pronounces that it sounds fair to her. AJ thanks her and Robin makes a few ominous remarks suggesting she's awfully close to spilling the beans. AJ gets all excited and tells her that if she knows something that will allow his family more access to Michael, she has to tell him. Robin says she's not on the Q's side or Jason's side. She's on Michael's side. She comes very close to telling AJ that Jason isn't the father  and hints that she is holding something back. We don't see AJ, leave, in the next scene Jason arrives home and Robin does this half skip half jump thing that makes her look stupid towards him. SHe says she was really scared and tells him that she almost told AJ the truth but realized it would be wrong. Jason tells her he quit. She's shocked and doesn't seem happy but she says it's only because she's afraid to be happy. They hug.

At the PC Grill, Jason meets Brenda to tell her Robin can't make their lunch date. Brenda tells Jason she's glad he is okay after the bombing that she hated him for helping Sonny leave her, but she's had a hard time hating him after they went through the plane crash together. You're scared now, after the bombing, Jason notes. Brenda admits that she is and just wants Robin to be safe. Jason assures her that Robin's life as a prisoner in the penthouse is temporary and that he will take care of it. Brenda asks if he's killed Moreno and, if so, who will come to kill Jason. Jason brushes her off, reminding her that he can't discuss business with her. Brenda doesn't want to know anyway, she just wants everything to be all right with Robin. This was the last scene between Vanessa Marcil and Steve Burton before Brenda's departure.  Brenda leaves, Justus comes in for a short-lived meeting with Jason.
    
Jason and Justus chat about Carly. Jason tells him he want Justus to lean on the judge to get a definite date for Carly's release. He agrees, and gets up to go when Taggert walks in. Justus asks Jason if he should stay, in case Tags tries to arrest him for breathing, but Jason waves  him off. Justus tells Tags that, just in case he's think of putting Jason in lockup that day, he should remember that one more false arrest will subject Tags to another nuisance suit, and put his badge in jeopardy. Tags promises to behave and tells Justus "nice tie" and Justus replies, "Same to you". It's a cute bit. Tags sits down with Jason, who is annoyed ands tells Tags that if he's here to arrest him, he should just do it. Tags wonders aloud why everyone is so worried about him arresting Jason. "I have no intention of arresting you...today". He tells Jason he is just thinking about Robin, Michael, all the people that the car bomb could have killed. How many people can Jason hurt and still feel good about himself? Does he even think of the people he hurts? "All the time," Jason says. "So do I," Tags says softly.
    
Robin is writing to a New Jersey music promoter about booking Luther. She asks Jason if the letter from Ferncliff was about Carly. Jason hasn’t seen the letter yet. He opens it and reads it. Carly’s doctor says she’s making significant progress and now they can arrange for supervised visits. Robin is less than enthusiastic. Jason tells Robin that when he sees Carly he’ll tell her to “fake”  her complete recovery, then he can talk to the judge and get her released. Jason realizes that once Carly is home that the Qs won’t be able to get their hands on Michael. Robin wonders how soon Carly could be released, Jason thinks a few months. Robin is clearly not excited of the prospect of living with Carly. She tells Jason will be happy about Carly coming home. She seems worried about her future with Jason will be affected by Carly’s return.  Jason is calling Ferncliff to schedule an appointment with Carly’s doctor. Robin asks if he misses Carly. He tells her she is Michael’s mother. Robin wonders if Jason has thought about the three of them living under the same roof. Jason feels they will find a way to make it work once Carly is home. Robin suggests joint custody of Michael and Jason seems surprised. She tells him she was raised that way, but Jason is adamant. Robin tells him that she and Carly don’t get along that there’s no way they all could live together. But Jason wants to be a full-time dad to Michael, not just 3-4 days a week. Robin asks him to at least think about it. Jason wants to work it out, but he doesn’t want to lose Robin or Michael in the process. Later, Jason tells Michael that Carly is coming home soon. Things will be different, but he will still be Michael’s father. Michael babbles. Robin overhears Jason talking with Michael and smiles.
    
In the lobby of the PC Hotel, Brenda tells Robin about Veronica's illness and  that she may have the gene.  Robin says "I know you're okay."  Robin says Jax could find strength, based on her year with Stone.

Later, Robin sees Jax.  Jax wants to marry Brenda now and to hell with the results.  Robin agrees even though "I really don't believe in running away from my problems." Jax runs off.
    
Robin and Jason are in the penthouse discussing Jason's meeting with his staff. Robin is wearing a sleeveless, red satin/back mesh dress with a plunging neckline that daring for her.  Jason tells Robin that some of his staff feel let down because he's leaving the mob. It's all going to be okay, they are going to live just the way that they want to and no one can stop them. Robins ventures that they can now go anywhere they want, and Jason reminds her that they can't go too far away from Carly. Robin hastens to correct him that she didn't mean that they should leave P.C., she just thinks that it might be nice to get a place that is all their own. Robin suggests looking for a house in the same area where Brenda lives, and wonders how much they can afford to pay in rent. Jason assures her that they still have plenty of money and can afford whatever they want. The have a long discussion of their future. Robin lies across Jason's lap and Jason informs her that, although they are rich, he is going to start working in Mike's motorcycle shop. Robin is thrilled by his career choice. She happily reflects that she never thought they'd be planning their lives like normal people. Jason has a difficult time visualizing how their lives will be, and Robin reminds him of the time they spent in Montauk and how happy they were. He remembers. She suggests that he visualize Michael blended into that perfectness and he begins to see how it will be that their lives are going to be great.
    
Jax and Jerry are searching for Brenda in a helicopter. Brenda and her mother are driving along the cliff road when her mother grabs the wheel, turning it and sending the car over the cliff. Jax watches in horror as he sees Brenda's car plunge over the side! Jax waits for news from the search and rescue team, who sadly tell him that no body has been found but they've searched everywhere and she is presumed dead. Jax has to break the news to Robin.  Robin was going to stay with her Uncle Mac, as Jason leaving to break the news to Sonny. Jason called upon Bobbie to keep Michael while he is away.

Robin says Brenda would have been happy about Jason and her.  Bobbie consoles Robin. Back at the penthouse, Jason and Robin talk about grief. Mike comes by and they talk about Brenda and Sonny. Mike thinks he won't see Sonny again. Later, Robin and Jason talking about Mike missing Sonny. Robin tells Jason that she missed him, she wants Brenda back and wonders if the pain of losing Brenda will ever go away. She’s thankful she has Jason and Michael to help her through this difficult time, poor Jax is all alone. Jason gives Robin a message from Sonny to hold on to every minute and don’t give up for anything. Sonny believes Jason made the right choice of choosing Robin and Michael over the “business”. Jason says he made the only choice he could. They play with Michael and he’s adorable, as usual.

Taggert and Mac show up and Taggert begins harassing Jason, who wonders what they want this time. Mac asks if Jason is aware that Moreno is moving into his territory. Tag is being his usual nasty self to Jason but he gets nothing out of Jason. Mac wants to know when Jason will retaliate, he just wants to get Robin and Michael out of harms way. Just as Mac is telling Jason how sick he is of his code of silence, Robin walks in and is livid. She tells her uncle Mac that she is sick of him for coming over on the night of her best friend’s memorial service to harass her family (the memorial was not shown). She tells him it’s the last time that he won’t have an excuse to persecute Jason anymore that Jason has retired. Mac just stares at them in shock.  Taggert tries to provoke Jason again, but Mac tells him to wait outside. Mac asks if it is true?

Jason tells him that since he is Robin’s uncle, he’ll treat him with respect, but he doesn’t like him bullying Robin for being with him. He says that he’ll never answer any of his questions, about what he has done or about his future plans. Mac says he just wants Robin to be safe, but Jason tells him that hurting Robin will not get any cooperation from him. Robin asks to speak with Mac alone. She tells him that she realizes he was using her against Jason and that his justification was that he was just looking out for her and that won’t work anymore. She is saddened that he has such little faith in her and her judgment. She explains to Mac that Jason got into the organization as a way to help Sonny because they were friends and now that he realizes they can have a different life, he has chosen it. But she is tired of trying to convince Mac of this. She tells him she doesn’t care anymore if he believes her. Mac stands there speechless.

The End
