page 1 l page 2 l page 3 l page 4 l page 5


Robert has a secret from his past. 

Turkey Day
Robin rebuffs her parents attempts to talk, asking that they wait until after Thanksgiving. Her guilt-ridden parents reluctantly agree. Robert, Anna, Sean and Robin have a Thanksgiving meal together and the little girl takes quite a shine to Sean. A starving Filomena, who's on a food strike, is relieved when Robin visits. 

Frisco and Felicia tell Sean about the Quartermaines' harassment of Felicia. Donely tells the buzzards to leave Felicia alone and to stay off his property. He'll have them arrested for trespassing otherwise. 

Showdown
Kim finally gets pearls by dressing up as a poor laborer and following an Asian woman to a bean barrel where she has hidden them. Pretending he is the next person to pass them on, he scoops them up and rushes back to his grandfather. Jade walks in while Kim waits for Wu and the two bicker about her pledge of allegiance to the Asian people. When a boastful Kim thrusts the pearls in her face, a quick thinking Jade grabs them and throws them to the people in the street below, but not without putting her hand through the window first. A furious Kim shoves her against a cabinet before bolting from the house to retrieve the pearls. On the floor, Jade lays unconscious as a pool of blood speads around the base of her head. 

At the hospital, the Ancient One is getting a check up.He and Olin are ready to go to New York to cash in the black pearls. Scorpio has them under heavy guard. "What a rush," says Olin when they get the check. "I am so stocked." 

Using an old search warrant as a diversionary tactic to frisk Wu and the Council of Six, Donely plants a bung in their vase. Milse away from the Bamboo Bar, Scorpio learns that Wu has jeopardized his future with the disgusted Council, although he has promised them the successful delivery of cocaine. Robert hopes to catch Wu or Kim negotiating a drug deal while the Asians celebrate the sale of the cannery, the fleet, and the creation of the cooperative.

While Robin is leading the parade of happy Asians and the Green Shirts admit Suki to their club, Frisco watches Kim hide packets of dynamite along the docks and Wu meets with divers from the Hong Kong ship in a room in the cannery of okay the final shipment of cocaine. Hidden, Sean watches Wu taste the smuggled snowflakes and then nabs him once the divers leave.

In another part of the cannery, Frisco is trying to find out how much dynamite Kim planted. Kim treats Frisco to the Dance of the Fan, performed with a dagger-tipped one that slices a raincoat Frisco has wrapped around his arm. Yank intervenes, beating Kim and leaving him to die as he and Frisco frantically search for the TNT. They find most of it on their own, but Wu, faced with the prospect of exploding alone on the docks, tells them where to find the big bomb. Once Yank and Frisco defuse it, they pack Wu into a police car and join the multitude at the Asian Quarter parade. The Freedom Flag of the Ancient One is waving; he has added his name to the long list already signed for the cooperative, and Robin has been made an honorary member.

Wrap Up
By the time Jade, recovering from her injuries, remembers what Kim did to her, she is ready to disinherit him. When Yank finally confesses that he killed Kim, Jade goes blind from shock. No one seems able to comfort her until her grandfather pays her a visit and tells her not to mourn for Kim or himself. His lust for power was his undoing. Jade recovers her vision.

Sean's inflamed bullet wound is the root of a more serious problem- an inflamed heart muscle. Luckily, he gets Monica as his doctor. The ticked off doctor has just met Alan's girlfriend and is more than receptive to Donely's flirting. She tells him about the Quartermaine plot to take over his company. Donely enjoys a dinner date with the married doc, but feels differently when Scorpio tells him that the judge has ruled he must await trail in jail. Donely clutches his chest and collapses. Monica thinks it's a heart attack, but doesn't know that Donely has stolen some Digitalis pills, which, taken in overdose, can produce the symptoms of a coronary.

Felicia takes Frisco shopping for an engagement ring and he finally confesses that his real name is Andrew.

She thinks it's stressed related, which it is. "I'm face with two things I don't want- jail and another one of these attacks," he tells himself and hides more digitalis pills in his wallet.

When the hospital ship is quarantined in Alexandria, Egypt, for non-payment of port duties, the Quartermaines are thrilled. However, unbeknownst to them, Sean has secretly sent Grant to retrieve the ship. 

Robert Bids Farewell!
The Ancient One says, "Adios!" to Robin and her parents. Robert promises his daughter that she can visit him and Holly in Australia. Anna says she's happy to be an active mother again, but wonders if she should live an anonymous life in New York. She ponders about the future and tells Robert, "I can't go back to dealing in stolen art." To ensure her and Robin's future, Robert convinces the mayor, Ken Morgan, that Anna would be a great co-commissioner of police with the man who he doesn't feel is right for the job, Bert Ramsey. The mayor agrees as long as he can claim credit for the idea. 

Anna's stunned by Robert's lastest coup. Now she and Robin can stay in Port Charles and live a normal life. With great sadness, Robert prepares to return to his homeland, Australia, and Holly. Frisco can't thank him enough for what he did on his behalf, nor can Anna. Sean is sorry he can't stick around to do more, like guarantee his full pardon for his past crimes.

Covering Scorpio's farewell and Anna and Bert's installation as co-police chiefs at police headquarters, Ginny captures Robert's final words on tape. "Saying goodbye is tougher than I thought it would be. I wish I could take you all with me." He also has his hands full saying goodbye to Anna and particularly an unhappy Robin.
