11 Hours Earlier — 6 p.m.
Outside Metro Court Hotel, the hostage situation escalated. Mac ordered
Rodriguez and Lucky to go inside and get as many people as possible out
before things got worse. Meanwhile, Spinelli told Jason about Alacazar’s
briefcase; Jason quickly ran off to find Skye at the hospital and demanded
to know what exactly Alcazar had that the robbers needed, broke the news
that they were holding everyone hostage and people were going to die if she
didn’t help hand over whatever they needed. Skye claimed she didn’t know
anything, but remembered that Alan and Emily were there for the charity gala
occurring on the top floor. She told Jason that Alcazar was only acting as a
middle man for Mr. Craig. Then Patrick arrived to tell Skye that Alcazar was
fine, but he was waiting on test results so he could remove more shrapnel.
Jason let Patrick in on the news about the situation at Metro and told him
he needed to wake Alcazar up, stat! They needed the access code to the
briefcase; Alcazar’s the only one who knows it.
Inside, Maxie and Three were still stuck in the vault. Maxie was curious
about why there was a flashing light on the briefcase; Three informed her
it was set up to self-destruct if anyone tried to take it. Just to make
sure. She nervously made an attempt at conversation in order to find out the
identity of this “Three” character, but he said he wasn’t interested. Maxie
couldn’t believe that “Three” wasn’t curious what was inside the briefcase,
especially since it could possibly kill them.
Meanwhile, in the lobby, Sonny dared Mr.Craig to shoot him; Mr. Craig cocked his gun and pointed it at Carly, seething “Ladies, first.” Later, a severely
injured Robin started moaning. Alan said he was a doctor and begged the
robbers to let him help her; no dice. Sonny spoke up, reminding the
criminals that if they get caught they’ll go to prison for good, especially
for killing innocent people then asked once again if medical personnel could
assist Robin. Finally the baddie allowed Elizabeth, Emily and Alan to assist
Robin. Then Alan lost it and railed at Mr.Craig because he was unable to
properly care for Robin in such conditions; the hooligan had Alan pistol-whipped and he fell to the ground.
At the charity at Metro Restaurant, no one was aware of the events unfolding
below them. Monica searched for Alan, who had gone missing with Lulu.
Meanwhile, Georgie snarked at Dillon, who sarcastically called Georgie’s
Prof. Pete her “slave driver.” Then Georgie snapped at Dillon for only
paying attention to her once Lulu left the room. When everyone found out the
elevator was broken, tensions rose. Tracy commented that she was having a
bout of déjà vu because the exact same thing happened when the Port Charles
Hotel fire occurred; no elevator service and a large group of people trapped
on the top floor. Everyone scoffed at her until Lucky suddenly arrived with
Rodriguez (both in bullet-proof vests) to ask the charity-goers to please
quietly and calmly evacuate the building because of a “security matter.”
They all escaped down the stairs, but once outside they started counting
those who were still missing; Chaos erupted.
Later, Nikolas offered the criminals one million dollars (admitting he was a
filthy rich Cassadine) if they let Robin go; Sonny countered that he had a
better offer because he had lots of power in the P.C. He bartered that
he’d find a way for the robbers to escape if they let Robin go; they weren’t
digging the proposition. Then Carly tried to create a diversion, but
Sonny stopped her, demanding she not do anything he doesn’t tell her to do.
Meanwhile, Mac called the “kidnappers” who smugly informed him that they’d
shot Robin; Spinelli spread word to Jason, who told a shocked Patrick.
Back outside, Luke didn’t agree with how Mac was handling the hostage
crisis, noting that Lulu was still inside. Mac said he was doing the best he
could and added that Georgie, Robin and Maxie were inside as well. When Luke
discovered where Lulu was last seen, he resolved to go inside to find her
but Mac stopped him. Meanwhile, Jason and Spinelli tried to figure out why
the hostages were being kept alive.
At the end of the episode, when Skye ran into Monica who was retrieving
Robin’s medical files, she lost it, screamed in anguish and threw her papers
across the room. Meanwhile, Mes (one of the bad guys) explains to the
hostages that the entire hotel is laced with explosives so they better just
sit down and relax unless they all want to die. Sonny decided the masked men
were likely going to wait until the vault was opened then blow up the
entire hotel, but told Carly he was going to devise a plan because he wasn’t
going to let that happen.
