November
29, 1995: Waking
up, Robin's breath catches as she momentarily suspects that Stone's passed away
when he doesn't respond. He then stirs and guesses what just happened. Stone,
who's lost most of his vision now, gets her to describe the sunrise to him. He
tells her his only wish for them today is to spend it together. They take a walk
down memory lane, recalling an early meeting at Kelly's, how she thought his
name was stupid and he thought she was a stuck up snob, and he then reflects on
a romantic moment on the docks. He causes her to laugh as he recalls how she
smelled like vanilla pudding. The lightness of the moment disappears though as
Stone breaks down and tells Robin how much he loves her. They share a
bittersweet kiss.
Downstairs, Lily
tries to comfort Sonny, who's angry over what's happening to Stone and Robin. He
wonders where Stone's birth parents are and do they know that the child they
brought into this world is dying. Elsewhere, Kevin is confused by Lucy's
agitation over her duck and she finally confesses her fears that maybe someday
they'll leave one another just like Sigmund's girlfriend left him, walking out
an open door and never looking back. He comforts her and assures her that that
won't happen. Tom lends a sympathetic ear as Felicia talks about Robin and
Stone. She marvels at how strong Stone is and how graceful he is handling the
situation.
Back upstairs Stone asks Robin to go
stand by the window so he can make out her outline. He's thrilled when he sees
more than just her outline. "I can see you, Robin!" he cries before
passing away. Robin's devastated and crawls into bed with her lost love.
Sonny comes upstairs to ask if they want some food and realizes Stone's dead
when he discovers a tearful Robin clinging to Stone.
Later, Robin goes downstairs to talk
to Mac, who's also staying at the penthouse. Somehow at peace now that Stone's
suffering has ended, Robin talks to her uncle about how even when she knew Stone
was leaving her, she felt completely surrounded by love. Mac replied it was
because she is loved. Felicia unexpectedly arrives and learns the sad news. She
reminds Robin that Stone loved her so much and Robin makes Felicia promise never
to forget him. Brenda arrives suddenly as well and Robin runs to her for a hug.
Via phone, Robin tells Luke that
Stone's gone. Spencer elder breaks the news to his son, who tries to understand
what happens when a person dies. I don't know where Stone went, Lucky questions
his dad, who really doesn't have an answer for that. Also via phone, Lucy learns
what happened and breaks the news to her devastated doc. Upstairs in the
penthouse, Sonny finally breaks down alone with the man he considered his
younger brother. Robin reaches out to him as the others gather to say goodbye to
Stone. When Brenda begins to break down, Sonny retrieves her and pulls her to
sit with him. Robin informs them all that she wants a memorial for Stone as soon
as possible.
Stay tuned to the
