Mac Confronts Anna (October 8, 2001)
After getting an email from Anna saying that remembers Robert dying in the explosion, an angry Mac comes to Pine Valley to confront his sister-in-law. Anna arrives back at her hotel room to find the door ajar and grabs a fireplace shovel when she hears someone inside. As Mac walks by, Anna whacks him in the stomach and shoves him on the couch. She's startled to learn who the intruder is.

Mac: "Yeah, I got that. Next time, I'll wait in the lobby with a newspaper."
Anna: "Oh, it's good to see you."
Mac: "You know, I figured since you were doing nothing about coming to Port Charles to see me, I'd come find you myself.
Anna: "Sorry. It's been a difficult time for me. Um... I have a brother that I didn't know about. Well, I do. And Alex is gone, wherever, for god knows how long and so I've been trying to look after him on my own and I just... I just moved into this hotel."
Mac: "And you send me an e-mail to tell me that Robert is really gone. Anna, you get your memory back, you remember that Robert is really dead. And you send me an e-mail to tell me? What is that? Who the hell have you turned yourself into to survive?"


Anna: "I could've handled that better. I'm sorry. I should have."
Mac: "Then why didn't you?"
Anna: "I don't know, Mac. Maybe it was all just too much to process quickly. After I remembered what had actually happened to... well, I wanted to go see Robin and tell her in person about her father. And I should've extended the same courtesy to you, but I didn't. I'm sorry."
Mac: "Why have you held me off?"
Anna: "No, it's not you. It's everyone. I've been through hell and back. I mean, I know that's happened before, but I think what's different now is that I realize I... I only have enough courage left for me. I'm being honest. And I figured that if anybody could understand that or forgive me, it would be you."
Mac: "I could call you a lot of things right now. But coward would never be one of them. Look, if you promise not to get me in a headlock, can we hug each other maybe?"
Anna: "Oh, it's so good to see you. Hmm! God, it's good to see you. You look great. You don't look a day older."
Mac: "Well, you're blind, but I'll take that."
Anna: "God, how is everyone? You know, Felicia and Bobbie? How's Bobbie?"
Mac: "Wait a minute. We're not going to do that here."
Anna: "Why not?"
Mac: "Because you're coming back with me."
Anna: "Oh, sure, yeah. Eventually I will, for a visit."
Mac: "A visit?"
Anna: "Mm-hmm."
Mac: "A visit? Anna, that's your home. That's Robin's home. My home. Robert's, too. Look, maybe isn't it time that you put all this negative stuff that you've had to cope with behind you and just come home?"
Anna: "No, I can't go back with you."
Mac: "What?"
Anna: "Really. Not now, not ever."

Anna: "I guess everybody thinks I should be going back to Port Charles. I just can't. I can't. I.. I have to stay here for now. Maybe it's because this is where I found who I am again, that this is where I should be."
Mac: "Can... can I ask you a nosy family question?"
Anna: "What?"
Mac: "Are you staying in Pine Valley because you met someone?"
Anna: "A man?"
Mac: "Unless there's something else you want to tell me."
Anna: "No. I haven't met anyone. Uh -- Edmund Grey -- he's Dimitri's brother. I mean, for a while there it felt maybe... but it didn't work out."
Mac: "Bull."
Anna: "I'm sorry?"
Mac: "Come on, Anna. What are you doing here?

Anna: "Don't be so suspicious.
Mac: "Come on, Anna. I know you. You're on a case, aren't you?"
Anna: "Even if I were, Mac..."
Mac: "You wouldn't tell me, would you? Come on. You're not going to give me anything here, are you?"
Anna: "Would you let me do this at my own pace?"
Mac: "I don't have a choice, do I? Yes, yes, you know I can."
Anna: "It's lovely to see you here."
Mac: "But you don't want me popping up unannounced for a while, do you? Will you at least call me once in a while?"
Anna: "Yeah. No more e-mails, I promise."
Mac: "It's great having you back."
Anna: "Oh. It's good to be back. Listen, thank you for looking after Robin all those years. I never said that."
Mac: "I love her. She's a beautiful young woman."
Anna: "She's beautiful."
Mac: "She is."
Anna: "So say hi to everyone."
Mac: "Everyone?"
Anna: "No. Edit for me. You know who I like."
Mac: "Good-bye."
Anna: "Bye." [she walks with him to the door and he leaves].

Mac [outside Anna's door]: "Oh, Anna, you are up to something."

Peeved at Jake, David barges over to Anna's hotel door and starts pounding.
David: "All right, Devane, open up! I've had a lousy day, so I want you to open this door right now, before I come..."

[Anna answers the door dressed only in a towel] Anna: "What's up, Doc?"
