Karen is at a nurses' station. Frank comes along and asks her to have a romantic evening with him. She makes several suggestions, but he has his own idea. He wants her to come to his garage to see the old computer. Seeing that she is less than enthusiastic, Frank says that they will also go to dinner and rent Karen's favorite movie. Karen is surprised to see Rhonda come along. Rhonda calls Frank Joe and after Frank walks away, she asks Karen to have dinner tonight. Karen says she has plans. Rhonda puts on a pouty face. She says she thinks it's strange that Karen is seeing Frank after she was engaged to Joe. Karen explains that Joe is ok with it. Rhonda worries about Karen being with someone who was hooked on drugs so soon after she kicked her addiction. When Karen mentions her mother's drinking problem, Rhonda gets insulted and walks away. When Frank returns, he is talking about their romantic evening. Karen says she can't be with him. Frank says something about her working a double shift. Karen says that she wished she could have said no. Frank is understanding. He says that they'll reschedule, but sees a change in Karen's demeanor.

Lucy is shocked to hear that the doctor who is examining her at General Hospital thinks she could be pregnant. She checks her calendar and realizes her last period was before Christmas. The doctor asks if she has been active and she shouts out "Doc" and runs out, bumping into Kevin. He asks why she is at GH.

She motions to him not to say anything else, but it's too late. Kevin wants to know what tests are going to be taken. What is wrong with Lucy? Lucy gets very emotional. She tells Kevin that she is pregnant and it is his child. It's a miracle after her miscarriages and then losing Christina. She thinks that Kevin hates her and now she's going to have his child. The whole dialogue turns out to be Lucy's fantasy. She snaps out of it. Kevin is still asking her what's wrong. They have a loud, emotional dialogue, ending with Lucy telling Kevin that she is there for a bump on the head she received when Eve pushed her into a wall during an argument about Kevin.
