At GH, Noah is in Matt's room making medical suggestions. Matt says that it's too late to play daddy to him. Patrick speaks up and supports Matt's point of view, but Matt doesn't want him around either. Later, Robin goes in to see Matt. She tells him to drop his attitude toward Patrick because his experience with Noah wasn't all that much better than Matt's. She explains that it took a lot for Patrick to accept Noah back into his life and now he has chosen to defend him instead of his father.
Anna sits with Noah in the lounge. He asks if she is disgusted with him, and she says that it's sad but it would be sadder if he started to drink again. Noah says that he has considered it and Anna tells him that would just trash the rest of his life, too. She says that she has a feeling he can do a heck of a lot better than that.
At GH, Noah tells Matt that they only share DNA. Patrick comes right into the room and asks if Matt Hunter is Noah's son. He asks Matt how long he's known, and Matt says all of his life. Patrick asks Noah if his mother knew? Noah says that his mother knew that he wasn't always faithful, that's all. He explains that when Matt's mother Donna got pregnant, they agreed that she would move to Albuquerque and he would share financial responsibilities until the baby was 18. Patrick asks Matt how many times Noah tried to get in touch with him. "Including today? Once." Matt reports. Anna comes in and asks why they are all so tense? Noah tells her that Matt is his son.
Anna finds Noah hanging around Matt's bedside, but he takes off when she arrives. She stands with Matt and is there when he comes around. She explains that she's trying to help track down his family and he says not to bother. He tells her that his mother is dead and his dad wasn't part of the picture.
Later, Noah drops in to ask Matt how his pain level is. Matt asks what he's doing there, but Noah wants to focus on his injuries. They discuss Matt's third-degree burns and his need for skin graphs. Then Matt says, "It's a little late in the game to show concern, isn't it Dad?" Noah says that he and Matt's mother agreed before he was even born that he would provide financial support, but never come around. Matt asks for a different doctor, but Noah tells him that he can be as angry as he wants, but he is still his father. Patrick is shocked as he listens outside the door.
Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Anna runs into Noah and welcomes him home from Doctors Without Borders with a big hug. She fills him in on everything that's gone on between Robin and Patrick while he was gone. She tells him about the proposal and the blogging effort that Patrick instigated.
At GH, Patrick tells Robin how hot she looks when she's carrying his child. They decide to take a little break in the supply closet but find that it's occupied - by Noah and Anna. The foursome has a little conversation in which Anna and Noah explain that they are adults. Robin asks for a moment alone with her mother and then asks if she is really attracted to Noah or does she still want Eli? Anna says that the "worthless detour" she took with Eli took time away from getting to know Noah. They talk it out and ultimately Robin gives Anna her blessing.
Meanwhile Noah tells Patrick to lay it on him. Patrick says that Anna is amazing, but she's independent and he worries about Noah's sobriety. Noah says that his sobriety is his to deal with and he still chooses to spend time with Anna. They both smile and laugh at one of their first somewhat normal father and daughter talks.
Things at GH are going from bad to worse. Anna makes sure that Elijah gets a tour of an ambulance before she kicks Eli in the face for being a deadbeat dad. Trish thanks Anna and mentions something about the tabloids as she makes her leave. Patrick stoops down to the floor to give Eli a lecture about the privilege of being a father. Robin and Anna are joined by Noah and they are all struck by Patrick's words. When Patrick is finished, Eli is put into a wheelchair and given a few choice words from Anna on his way out. Noah tells Anna that Eli doesn't deserve someone like her. He turns to Patrick and tells him that he's going to be an amazing father.
Anna and Noah have gone out to dinner together. As they sit outside on a bench, Noah tells Anna that she might miss the rock star thing. As she's denying it, she looks at Noah and has an epiphany. She says that she thinks she was attracted to Eli because he looked like him, not the other way around.
