Team Anna.

Anna shows up at GH and asks Robin where they are going? Robin says that Eli Love, bruised jaw and all, has sent them backstage passes and they are all going to the concert. Anna would rather stick needles in her eyes. Patrick and Noah are looking on from across the hall. Noah tells Patrick that Anna is much too good for lowlife Eli. Anna walks away, so Robin joins the guys and says that they need to make Eli eat his heart out over what he's missing. Patrick tells Noah to convince Anna to come with them to the concert because she needs the ego boost.

Love Conquers All?

Anna pages Noah and then explains the situation to him. She wonders if she can count on him to fill in for Eli on stage again in order to protect Patrick from a lawsuit. Noah explains that he loved his time on stage last summer but it wasn't good for him. He says that the rocker life was a fantasy fulfilled and that he ended up back in rehab. Anna takes it all in and tells him that he's a good man. Noah calls himself a "work in progress" and as much as he'd love an encore, he can't risk it. Just then, Patrick finds them and says Eli's jaw is only bruised.

Just then, Eli comes out from the exam room and tries to make up with the group. He tells Patrick that he has no hard feelings and asks Anna to meet him in his hotel room later for dinner. Anna goads him and asks why she just can't come with him now and face the paparazzi with him? Eli explains that he has to live up to his image in public. Noah doesn't want to hear any more, this time he steps forward and punches Eli smack in the jaw.

I Want To Be A Baby-Daddy!

Diane meets Alexis in court and says she won’t get away with this. She says she is going to call in experts who will testify that Patrick should have access to the child even before the baby is born! As they are arguing Robin walks in. Robin tells them to stop fighting as Patrick comes in. Alexis tells Patrick that Diane is going to ruin things for Robin. Both of them want the case to be fought cleanly and worry that Diane and Alexis will fight dirty. Anna arrives and throws a wrench in the works - she says she won’t testify for either side! The hearing begins. Anna whispers to Patrick that she is sorry; he says he understands. Noah arrives and says he can’t testify either. Alexis is disappointed but Robin understands. She asks Alexis if they can stop the hearing but the judge arrives just then. Patrick takes the stand. He admits he didn’t want kids but says now that there is a child he can’t ignore it. He says Robin can trust him to stand by her. She listens. “Turns out, this is the most important thing in the world to me,” he says. Robin cries. She stands up and tells the judge that she is wasting everyone’s time. “You can see me and the baby any time you want,” she says. After court, Alexis and Diane congratulate one another. Anna tells Robin to go talk to Patrick. Noah tells Patrick that he is a good man. Robin goes to him and tells him she loves him. Anna receives a call from Eli, who is headed to town. She is nervous that he’ll find out she’s going to be a granny.

Everybody Thinks They Know Whodunnit.

"Why are you being so nice to me when we're about to rip each other apart in court?" Robin asks Patrick as he hands her a peach trifle for breakfast on their big day. Anna is there, too, and Noah arrives shortly. The two Drakes continue their argument from yesterday. Anna tells them that their cycle must be broken or else Robin will never feel comfortable letting Patrick be a father to their child. Patrick gets in Noah's face and Noah agrees that he wasn't a great father and reminds him that they are exactly alike. Anna says that she made horrible mistakes as a mother but she and Robin talked things out and have moved forward. Noah softens and says that he let Patrick's mother down because he put his career first and now he loathes himself for it. He urges Patrick not to make the same mistake and leaves. Anna apologizes to Patrick for bringing up old wounds and says that she's trying to protect them all from doing irreparable damage to one another. Robin asks her mother to give her some time alone with Patrick. Anna steps out and Robin tells Patrick that he's a far better man than Noah gives him credit for. Patrick tells Robin that he loves her and the baby and that is why he has to go through with the court proceeding.

Can Maxie and Lulu be Friends?

At GH, Anna tries to justify Patrick's right to a custody hearing because Robin forced his hand. She says that, if she has to, she'll tell the judge tomorrow that Patrick deserves to be a father. Noah says that he'll stand up for his grandchild's mother then.

Robin goes home and finds Noah, Anna and Patrick waiting for her. She gladly embraces Noah and is thrilled to see him. Until, that is, she learns that he plans to testify that Patrick will be a rotten father. He proceeds to list his son's shortcomings and then admits that he had a bad role model. Robin finally speaks up and says that this is about her and Patrick and how they want to raise their child. She tells Patrick that she loves him and she doesn't want to drudge up old pain for him. Anna asks why they're going to court tomorrow if they love each other and both want to be good parents. Robin says that she wants Patrick to be happy and that means being a top surgeon, not a daddy. She reminds him that the baby was her idea and she's the one who is willing to make the sacrifices involved. She doesn't want him or need him to give up his dream and that is what she'll tell the judge.

Grandpa Noah Weighs In.

Noah shows up at the nurses' desk and offers to help Patrick in surgery. Patrick is glad to see him, but chastises him for staying with Doctors without Borders for so long without any contact. Noah apologizes and admits that he signed up for some additional rehab because he slipped up. Patrick expresses his pride in his father's commitment to stay on the wagon and invites him to scrub in. Once they're in surgery, they catch up and Noah asks about Robin. Patrick tells him about the pregnancy. Noah wants to know Patrick's HIV status and then says that he hopes Robin plans on raising the baby without him. Disgusted with his father's lack of confidence in him, Patrick cracks that at least he's not an alcoholic.

Back at GH, Patrick and Noah are coming out of surgery and run into Anna. Noah and Anna greet each other with a hug and comment that they are going to be grandparents. She asks what he thinks of the legal action that Patrick has initiated. Noah calls his son an idiot and says if he doesn't drop the suit he'll testify for Robin.

Noah Rocks!

The crowd is chanting for "Eli" to begin, but nothing is coming out of the microphone! Trying to stall while the crew fixes the problem, Anna jumps onto the stage and tells the crowd that she's not quite done with Eli yet -- and then plants a big kiss on his mouth. Behind the curtain sitting in his wheelchair, Eli is impressed with her stalling tactics. Robin doesn't get why her mom kissed Noah and Patrick explains that Anna is "vamping" to allow time for the microphones to be repaired. On stage, Anna talks to the crowd and thanks "Eli" for dedicating his time and talent to LIFEbeat, and the kids who need him. She gets tearful when she says that her daughter is HIV positive and the disease can be devastating. "I love my daughter more than I can express right now," Anna speaks through her tears. She says that organizations like LIFEbeat and the entertainers who donate their time will see their results pay off in the form of a cure. Noah hugs her and the crowd cheers.
