G'Day, Robert!

     Good news, mates!  Robert Scorpio's in the house!  The house on Cassadine Island where Anna, Patrick, and Robert plan strategy for rescuing Robin, that is.   Back in The Chuckles, The Nutcracker Gala is about to start and Nina is about to lose it when Maxie has to skip out to pay respects to her dearly departed sister Georgie on the anniversary of her death.   Franco arm-twists Liz into attending the gala while Carly does the same for Jason.  Kristina's in a bit of trouble at school and tries to cover it up by hacking into Alexis's email.  Robin pleads with Jerry's goon to call her family and say goodbye.

       ALEXIS & JULIAN'S HOUSE

         ALEXIS:  You are going to the gala and you are going to be nice to Julian BECAUSE I SAID SO!
         MOLLY:  Worst. Gala. Ever.
         ALEXIS:  I heard that.
         KRISTINA:  I'm baaaaaaaack! 
         MOLLY:  Awesome!  You can come to this gala thing and distract me so I don't have to fake-smile at Julian!  Sam, you're coming too, right?
         SAM:  Wrong!  I'm suffering from Post-Patrick Stress Disorder, so I'm staying home "sick".
         MOLLY:  No fair! 
         KRISTINA:  Molly, what's Mom's email password?  I need to erase a note from school that says I'm in a huge heap of trouble.

        RECEPTIONIST:  He's on leave.
        LIZ:  'Cuz YOU chased him away!  You happy now? 
        SAM:  Yeah, because I told Jason the truth, unlike some other people I know.
        LIZ:  Save it, Sam.  We were all living happy little lies and you had to go tell the truth and wreck EVERYTHING!
        SAM:  Screw you!

     
        CEMETERY

        MAXIE:  Hi Dillon.  I know you're sad about Georgie too. 
        DILLON:  Yeah, even though I was a different person when we were together, I still miss her.
        MAXIE:  What's that?
        DILLON:  I like to keep busy when talking to ghosts.   It's a rubbing of Georgie's headstone.  It's kinda your Christmas present. 
        MAXIE:  Aw, Dillon!  I'm getting ALL THE FEELS now!
