Deathbed Confessions.

Things remain pretty much the same outside the Metro Court. Patrick stands with Luke and learns that Craig doesn't have the right code. Ric comes to tell them that the swat team will move in at 5:30 a.m. and extract the hostages while Craig is figuring out that he can't open the briefcase.

Oh Alan!

Outside the Metro Court, Mayor Floyd wants to storm the building and Ric tries to remind him that lives are at stake. When the Mayor states that casualties are likely Patrick punches him in the mouth. The mayor wants Patrick arrested, but Mac says if Patrick hadn't punched him, he would've - so there will be no arrests. Ric agrees. Soon, Dr. Russell Ford comes to the scene and tells Patrick to report to the hospital for a medical trauma that has arrived. He tells Patrick that his license will be revoked if he doesn't get back to work. Patrick explains that Robin is a doctor on staff, and not only that, she will need him when she's released. Dr. Ford says that there are ambulances on hand to help Robin. And, from what he knows about Dr. Scorpio, she would want him to help his patients. Patrick can't disagree, and he ultimately goes back to the hospital.

A Slight Turn in the Tide.

Outside Patrick is giving Ric a hard time for not doing anything proactive to save the hostages. Ric insists that there are over a dozen hostages inside-- in addition to Robin -- and they can't make a move until Craig does. Pete shows up to support Patrick and he's really concerned about Robin. Patrick tells his old friend that he loves her so much that it will destroy him if anything happens to her – just like his mother's death destroyed his father. It took for someone like Robin to finally let his guard down for the first time in his life. Mac joins them and says they'll find a way to keep Robin with them for a long time.

Sam and Liz Team UP.

Outside the Metro Court Ric interrogates Patrick about what else he heard on the phone. Patrick insists that he was only focused on Robin and couldn't tell if anyone else might have been hurt. Skye shows up and yells at Patrick that he'd better have a lot of malpractice insurance for leaving Lorenzo before he was finished. She said that the surgery should've lasted 4 hours, but he did it in 45 minutes. She tells him how disoriented Lorenzo was when Alexis stormed in and grilled him. Ric demands to know more about Alexis. When Skye tells reports Alexis collapsed, Ric takes off. Mac gets a minute alone with Patrick and thanks him for putting Robin first and doing everything that he did to save her. Patrick wipes a tear from his eye and tells Robin's uncle that he can't even imagine a life without Robin in it.

From Intern to Surgeon

The Lobby of the Metro Court is a Pressure Cooker:

Freshly unmasked by Sam, Mr. Craig orders her to put on a matching black jumpsuit and mask that his goons have on. Nikolas speaks up that the cops will shoot her for sure if they see her in that. They hear Patrick's voice through the door. (Outside, he has busted through the line of cops to the door of the lobby.) He says he is an unarmed doctor who wants to come in and help the woman who's shot. Mr. Craig replies that it's tempting and very romantic, but perhaps he should just kill her now and get it over with. Carly jumps up and suggests that at least they should let Patrick tell them how to save her. Mr. Craig is intrigued by that and tells Carly that she can perform the surgery. Patrick yells that he can't talk someone through a surgery, especially if he hasn't seen the patient. Mr. Craig tells him to go back to command central and wait for his phone call. Also, he orders that the next time that someone comes to the door, Ms. Scorpio will get shot. Carly asks for Emily and Elizabeth to assist her, but Mr. Craig makes her pick one. She picks Emily.

They deposit Emily in front of Robin/next to Carly and make Lulu go sit with Alan. Craig calls Patrick so he can "let the fun begin." Then, he puts Emily on the phone. She describes the wound to Patrick and he stutters a little as he gives Emily a list of supplies that she'll need. Carly is permitted to get a pen and some paper, but only because Mr. Craig is "feeling indulgent". Clean towels, sponges, paring knife, needle and thread…the list is long and very specific.

Outside, there doesn't seem to be much of a plan:
Alexis comes to the scene after seeing the situation on the news. Ric allows her to come down to the line with him and tells her that Sam and Nikolas are inside. Patrick is waiting next to Ric, waiting for the phone call so he can begin talking Emily through the surgery. Ric wants Patrick to talk in some kind of code so that they can ascertain how the rest of the hostages are, but Patrick says that he doesn't want to fool around. Mac comes back from the hospital and says that Skye claims to know nothing and Alcazar is recovering from brain surgery. When Alexis hears this, she takes off.

It's surgery time in the lobby. Nikolas and Sam return with the supplies. They have everything on the list except for a specific kind of light bulb and there are only ten seconds left! Sam quickly pulls a poster off the wall and rips the light fixture off from behind it. "Ding ding" they made it just in time. Mr. Craig gets Patrick on the phone so that they can "get the party started!" He hands the phone to Emily. Patrick tells her it's just like med school only she's working on a real person with all the wrong equipment. He tells her to take a deep breath. Then, she is to trace the path of the bullet through Robin's abdomen with her finger. Next, sterilize the paring knife and make a 4 inch incision directly over the path. (Carly is holding the phone up to Emily's ear.) Suddenly there is a lot of bleeding and Emily is yelling into the phone that she cut an artery. Patrick is hysterically yelling back that she needs to cauterize the bleed with the curling iron….

From Bad to Worse.

At the hospital:
Noah and Patrick are operating on Lorenzo. Patrick has found a shortcut to remove the bullet fragment, but Noah argues that it's too risky and they don't know how it will affect Lorenzo after he comes out of it. Patrick wants to hurry up so that Lorenzo can wake up and tell them what the code to the briefcase is. Noah reminded him that his responsibility is to his patient, not to Robin at this very moment.

In Lorenzo's room, Monica is livid with Skye for being a part of the whole thing and demands that she tell Mac everything she knows. She reminds Skye that Alan adopted her and treats her like his own daughter and now he is in danger. Noah and Patrick come in and report that surgery is over. Before they go any further, Skye insists that Monica leave. Monica blurted, "I liked you lots better when you were a drunk!" and storms off to call Mac. She tells him to come and question Skye because she knows something.
