Ned phoned Brenda and invited himself over for a visit. Jax walked in on her
end of the conversation and was surprised that Brenda was up for some company.
They discussed how much Brenda enjoyed talking to Robin. Brenda told him that
she felt uncomfortable with Nurse Carmen in the house and wanted to get rid of
her. He told her that he was going to be out of town for overnight so would
she please hang onto Carmen for just a bit longer?  She agreed.  However,
after Ned visited she told Carmen that Ned would be returning to spend the
night so Carmen could go on home. During Ned's visit we learned that Brenda's
financial advisor was missing in action. After a few calls, Ned determined her
so-called advisor, having her total power of attorney, has apparently skipped
town with all her money.  Later on, Ned assured Brenda that he and Justus
would be on the trail of the financial guy.
[Paging Jason "it takes one to catch one" Morgan?]

Over at the Q mansion, Lila, Edward, Ned and Emily were sitting around and
chewing over the Jason/Carly/Baby thing. Monica and Bobbie blew in.  Bobbie
blabbed that Tony flunked the blood test so it looks like the baby belongs to
Jason.  Monica grimaced because she knew the truth: the baby belongs to A.J.
Emily couldn't get past the "fact" that Jason fathered Carly's baby. She said
that he was so much in love with Robin, how could he have sex with another
woman?  Ned tried to explain how wonky adults were.

At GH, Alan stared goofily at the new baby. Tony came up to talk with him but
Alan was fixated on the baby.  Tony, full of angst and self-pity, tried to
talk about B.J. but Alan was too drugged up to focus.  A.J. came up and
observed them; he overheard Tony tell Alan that the blood test proved the baby
wasn't his.  A.J. tried to mend fences with Tony but the doc chose to believe
that A.J. knew all along Jason was slipping Carly the old pork chop.

Carly woke up and found Jason at her bedside. He told her all that had
happened then took her to see the baby.  She freaked out and didn't want to
touch the squirming infant. She was convinced that his heart-flap thing was
her fault because she's a "terrible person" ... yawn.  She also insisted that
the baby's last name be "Morgan"; Jason agreed [deeper and deeper].

Meanwhile, Jax arrived in Paris and sought out Robin, presumably to bring her
back to Port Charles for Brenda.
