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.
Sean's Latest Scheme
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.
After running some tests,
Monica tells her handsome patient, Sean, that while his heartbeat is
accelerated, he did not have a heart attack when he collapsed. 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. Robert's
busy trying to plead Sean's case with the governor. He asks Monica to
keep Sean in the hospital as long as possible. Edward
and Alan revel in the thought of Sean's imprisonment and their takeover
of his company. 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. When he arrives in
Sydney, Holly greets her hubby by pulling him, fully clothed, into the
bath.
