Sabrina was confused. One second, she'd been in Patrick's arms on the verge of being kissed and the next the arrival of Nicholas' apparently dead grandmother had halted everything. Sabrina had heard stories of the havoc that Helena Cassadine had wreaked on the Spencer family from Elizabeth, so she knew the woman was not one to be taken lightly; however, Sabrina had no idea how she could be standing here, tonight, at Britt's engagement party.
After Helena's grand entrance, Sabrina followed Patrick's stare to Robin, who had gone pale, and the pieces began falling together. Robin had saved Jason, but there had been more to the story than either Patrick or Robin had disclosed to Port Charles.
After Nik asked, "But how?", Helena followed Patrick's suit and found Robin amongst the crowd. In a voice that brooked no argument Helena asked, "Dearest Dr. Scorpio-Drake, would you kindly join me?"
Robin defiantly straightened her back and said, "It's Scorpio, not Scorpio-Drake, and, I believe I'll pass, thanks."
Helena looked from Robin to Patrick, who still had Sabrina in his arms, and tsked. "Aww, such a shame, Dear Doctor. Shall I assume that you and Dr. Drake were unable to move past his indiscretion?"
Robin, now angry, said, "It's none of your business. What do you want, Helena?"
Helena got serious and said, "Turns out that my dear son has had some adverse side effects from your protocol. I'm going to need you to kindly come with me so that you can correct them post haste."
As Jason moved to stand behind Robin, she said, "Over my dead body. The deal was Jason in exchange for the protocol to resurrect you two. I did what what was required and any side effects either of you have from the serum is not my problem. I'm DONE. I've lost too much time with my daughter so as it is."
Helena blinked, surprised by Robin's continued defiance. "Shame." Then, she looked behind her and said, in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Victor, dear, it seems Dr. Scorpio needs a new incentive to assist us in our endeavor."
Sabrina heard a man's voice, presumably the man responsible for killing Gabriel, say, "Pity. I was so hoping that would be unnecessary."
When he entered the room, Sabrina reeled back in shock, as Patrick and Robin, in unison, shouted, "Emma!"
Sabrina felt Patrick tense next to her and then, in a deadly voice she never knew he possessed, threaten, "Victor. Let my daughter go. NOW!"
When he spoke, the entire room, including Helena, turned their attention from Robin, who was freaking out at seeing Emma in Victor's arms as well, to him. However, instead of following his command, Victor held Emma tighter and, in a conversational voice, said, "Ah, Dr. Drake. So we meet again. How have you been?"
Patrick's only response was a growl. Then, before Sabrina could do anything to stop him, Patrick lunged toward Victor. But, before he could get to Emma, he was stopped in his tracks as a gunshot rang out.
As Patrick clutched his chest and began to fall backward, Sabrina screamed and ran to catch him. "PATRICK! Oh, God!"
As Patrick's dead weight forced Sabrina to her knees, she begged for someone, anyone, to come and help. As Sabrina focused on the blood seeping through Patrick's shirt and trying to stop it, she heard Emma crying and screaming "DADDY!" as Robin yelled Patrick's name and began running over to them.
When Robin kneeled down next to Sabrina, the two of them began communicating as doctor and nurse and none of the bullshit from the past two years mattered. The only thing that mattered was saving the life of a man they both loved.
