Dr. Patrick Drake and Robin simply cannot agree on how to treat their mutual patients and they argue all the time. She can't stand his macho ego and general horniness, and he generally tells her to go out and get some sex before she dries up and blows away. Meanwhile, a new doctor introduces himself as Matt Hunter and asks to see the Chief of Staff, Alan Quartermaine.
A couple months later, the tension between Dr. Scorpio and Dr. Drake has escalated. Alan approaches the nurses' desk and introduces the new neurosurgeon, Dr. Matt Hunter. Patrick is prickly about not being included in the decision and Matt dumps the news on him that he is his half-brother.
As for Robin, Matt has been asking her out but she's been able to dodge him by saying that her life is complicated. Eventually she accepts and the two grow pretty close. She pulls back as things start to get intimate, but he gently tells her that he's aware of her HIV status and is prepared. Robin is touched that he didn't shy away from her and proceeds with the relationship.
One day, Maxie is at GH looking for Robin, but she meets Matt instead. She asks if they've meet before, but he doesn't think so.
One night Robin comes home and finds Matt making out with Maxie!
Spinelli has managed to get Maxie to GH. He gives a rambling lineup of Maxie's medical history down to her drug allergies. Matt won't let him in while he examines her, so Leyla sits with Spinelli and tries to calm him down. Before long Matt tells Spinelli that Maxie will wake up with a headache, but he didn't see signs of a struggle. Then he lets Spinelli sit with her even though he's not family. He tells her how he feels about her and that the world wouldn't be manageable without her in it. "Fair and cherished Maximista…Maxie…I love you," he says. Maxie comes around and tells him that the Russian guys followed her and tried to grab her.
At the hospital, Kim orders Patrick to start CPR and then orders everyone else from the room. They watch from the door as Patrick, Kim and the other doctors work to save Robin. After they have Robin's pressure back up, Kim tells Patrick he has to go now. Matt leads him from the room. Anna and Mac ask what is going on; Spinelli and Maxie watch from a few feet away. Patrick can't talk so Matt tells them that Robin's blood won't clot and they might lose her. "No, we won't," Anna says and stalks away. Mac sits down and Spinelli offers to get him something to drink in his Spinelli way. Mac turns him down and starts talking about Robin and Patrick. "She's come close to happiness and something has always happened to take it away," he says. Spinelli tells Mac that Robin is strong and will be okay.
Patrick stands over Emma in the nursery and introduces himself. He whispers her full name – Emma Grace Scorpio Drake – and tells her how much she is loved and wanted by both of her parents. He says he doesn't know how to be a dad; Matt walks in and listens. "I probably shouldn't tell you this, but without your mom, I don't think I can pull this off," he says. Matt comes inside and asks about the baby; Patrick says she is fine and offers to give Matt some time with her but he says no. He turns to go but Patrick stops him, wondering how he can be a father. He tells Matt about the patient he and Robin lost last summer. Matt says Robin is getting the best care available. Patrick says without Robin, he would become a workaholic dad. Matt tells him that Robin isn't dead and says he will figure out how to be the best father for Emma. Patrick worries about that because of Noah's example. Matt says he just has to put Emma first. Patrick walks down the hall to Robin's room. He says Emma is perfect but he is scared that he won't be a good enough father for her. "You're the answer to everything," he says and tells her he loves her.
Out in the waiting room, Anna is very upset and Mac tries to remain calm. Maxie sits next to a very sullen and quiet Spinelli. Matt doesn’t know exactly where he fits in so he rambles out the periphery of the family members and the staff.
Sam arrives at the hospital and tells Nadine about her drug bust. Jerry watches from the hall. She sees Matt at the desk and asks him about the clinic fire. Jason watches them. Matt says he remembers a man standing near him but says he only saw shoes; he says the shoes looked like something Jerry would wear! Jerry calls Sam for a meeting.
