ABC HOTSHEET:
For the week of 2/2:
Things go from bad to worse as the crisis explodes (literally)! Robin and Emma are in danger, and someone dies.
The toxic crisis at General Hospital manages to get even more dangerous and deadly this week.
Patrick, Spinelli, Nikolas, Winifred -- everybody gets their chance to be a hero this week. But they're not all successful, and a character dies! It all leads up to an explosive event on Friday, which kicks the entire crisis onto another level altogether.
And then there's Robin, who is already on the brink of a serious emotional collapse, and that's BEFORE Emma starts spiking a fever. So Robin decides to drive the baby in to GH, and she ends up running out of gas and gets stranded in the middle of the blizzard. And that's not even the worst of it! Who's going to come to their rescue?

Scrubs have no 3rd party influence coming up anytime soon
Can you share what scrubs will be doing?
[The PPD story winds down as the crisis ends. There was some talk about letting Kimberly possibly interact with a real PPD support group. I believe that's been decided against at this point but she adn Jason will both get PSA's from the story.
After that they begin an experimental treatment on Michael.

Gas continues to leak in the OR, but no one knows it.

Patrick realizes the worst has happened
Robin breaksdown

I'm really digging Patrick during this crisis. And his little grey edges are so sexy
YOU think so in these scenes ...........THEN..............just wait until you see his scenes when he's back with Kimberly and in their scenes. Can I suggest TONS OF BOXES OF TISSUES.
let just say the scenes of them on NS2 where he's crying with Robin on the sofa bed..................
will be forgotten when they share scenes again. TTTTB

1/31
Johnny saves Robin
Patrick saves Nadine

Scrubbies before you panic, she puts Emma back in the van when she realizes she can't walk in the weather with her baby.
