General Hospital - DAILY UPDATES

Patrick is undergoing questioning by Agent Rayner. He's getting frustrated and says that he has no idea where Anthony Zacchara is or if there were any more toxins and his work here is done. He insists that he needs to get to his wife and sick child!

Sam and Jason find their way through the smoky building to the utility closet where they think Spinelli might be. Jason kicks down a fiery wall and they see an air duct that he probably went into for protection. Sam climbs up to look around but doesn't see any sign of him. They continue to call for him, but walk away. Meanwhile, Spinelli hears them and calls out to them.

Outside at the makeshift FBI headquarters, Mac lectures Maxie for running into the burning building. Lulu coughs and Johnny asks if she's okay. She assures him that she was evacuated early. She tells him that Claudia will be fine, too. Johnny didn't realize that his sister had been trapped and takes off to see her at Mercy.

Lulu and Maxie hang back to wait for Spinelli's rescue. Maxie fills Lulu in on her and Johnny's car collision, the garage, and finally saving Emma. Lulu is stunned to hear what they've been through and Maxie says that she, Robin and Emma would've probably died without Johnny tonight. Lulu says that she's glad he was able to help. Maxie tells Lulu to hold onto him because he's someone a person can trust. Lulu nods and says that she's going over to Mercy to check on Tracy.

Winifred comes in and asks Maxie if The Jackal has been evacuated yet. Maxie can't believe that Winifred would leave him behind. She calls her a two-faced coward, but Winifred says that she believes Spinelli can survive anything. They go outside and stare at the burning building.

Over at Mercy, Nikolas stops in to see Robin and Emma. They talk about the hospital fire, but Robin can tell that something else is on Nik's mind. Finally he tells her about the girl he met who looks like Emily. Robin tells him that his last brain scan was clean, but he assures her that it's not a hallucination this time. Robin thinks there is a logical explanation and Nik says that he's going to find out everything about her.

Just as Claudia is about to tell Sonny about her part in Michael's shooting, Ric stops into Claudia's room to report that Trevor is dead. He also came to warn Sonny not to trust his new wife. Sonny asks what about his so-called closeness with his wife and Claudia admits that she did back the winning side in the end. Sonny says that Ric's just afraid because he might just take the fall for the entire Zacchara organization. Ric says that Sonny will take the fall, but Sonny says that he knows how to cover his butt. After Ric leaves, Sonny asks Claudia what she wanted to tell him.

Before Claudia can say much, Johnny rushes in and gives her a hug. He says that he was so busy with Robin and Emma that he had no idea she was in the fire. Sonny asks about Emma and Johnny gives him the room number. After Sonny leaves, Claudia tells Johnny that Trevor's dead, Anthony's missing and Kate Howard knows about Michael's shooting. He instantly worries about Sonny killing her when he finds out, but Claudia says that the DVD burned and it's Kate's word against hers. Johnny wants to take her back to Milan where she can be safe. Claudia asks what about his love for Lulu, but Johnny says when she finds out about Michael she won't want anything to do with him. Claudia says that Kate doesn't know she has a marriage of convenience and she can use that to convince her that Sonny will believe her if it comes down to it.

The doctor tells Robin that Emma can go home, but Robin worries that it's too soon. Mac comes in and marvels at how much better his grand niece looks. Sonny comes in to check on them and asks if they need a ride home. Mac curtly says that he has it covered and goes to get the car. Sonny asks Robin if she's alright, and she says that she's fine now. She says that there's nothing more important than taking care of Emma.

Rebecca ducks into a patient's room to hide from Nikolas, but the room is Elizabeth's. She explains that some guy is following her and Liz says that would be her brother-in-law Nikolas. By way of an explanation, Liz tells Rebecca that she looks just like his late fiancée Emily. Rebecca says that she is sick of hearing that. Liz empathizes with what it must feel like to be looked at like a ghost, but says that at least her hair is completely different from Emily's. Rebecca asks if she should feel an obligation, but Liz says that perhaps she could be nice at least. Rebecca wants no part of that.

When Nik pops in to see Liz, she warns him that Rebecca is hiding from him. He asks whose side she's on and Liz says his, of course, but points out how odd it must be for Rebecca. Nik says that seeing her is tearing him apart because he gets a surge of hope. Liz reminds him that Rebecca is not Emily. Nik acknowledges that, but he needs to know where she came from.

Rebecca goes back to The Metro Court but it's not long until Nikolas finds her in the lobby. She tells him that she just wants a shower and about twelve hours of sleep. He asks for a chance to explain and she yells that she doesn't care what he wants!

When Mac brings Robin and Emma home, Robin comments that she feels like a whole different person than who she was when they left a few hours ago. Soon after Mac leaves, Patrick comes home and tells his girls how very much he missed them.

Back at GH, Spinelli yells through the ceiling above Jason and Sam's head, "Please don't leave, The Jackal is close at hand!" They finally hear him and tell him not to move! He can't hear what they're telling him, so he proceeds along the vent toward a grate. He kicks it out and drops into a room. As Jason prepares to break down the door to get in, Spinelli realizes that he is now standing in front of several oxygen tanks. Within seconds, they explode.
