Patrick persuades her to have sex with him and not to worry about her plans. He gets paged for an emergency at the hospital soon after they sleep together. Later, Kelly warns Robin about how a baby could really complicate her already busy life and that it is a big responsibility. Robin lists all the ways she is ready to be a mother. Kelly asks her who she plans to be the father of her future baby. Robin doesn't know who would be the father and always imagined she would be in a relationship with the man who would father her child. Kelly suggests that she make a list of potential fathers for her baby. Robin's list includes Nikolas, Jax, Sonny, Lucky, Jason, etc. Robin goes over her list of potential sperm donors.

Patrick sees the list of men's names and thinks Robin may be planning a party and he wasn't invited. He approaches Robin and hands her the list. Robin is embarrassed by it and tries to act like it is nothing and pushes it back in her folder. She tells him it isn't anything important. Kelly shows up and tells him he is too late and blew his chance to be on the list. Patrick asks Robin what is going on. Robin tells Kelly to shut up and leave it alone. Kelly suggests to Robin that she explain the list to him since he will find out about it sooner or later. Robin tells him the list is potential men who could provide her with a baby.
Logan asks Lulu why she has a sudden change of heart concerning their relationship. Lulu doesn't tell him at first the real reason she is considering going back to him. She decides to tell him the truth when he asks her why she changed her mind when recently she didn't want anything more to do with him. She tells him about Scott's offer to drop all the charges against her father and give custody of Laura back to Nikolas if she agreed to give him a second chance at a relationship. Logan gets angry with her for agreeing to let Scott blackmail her that way by using her parents to do it. Lulu tells him that she already was considering forgiving him and this just gave her more incentive to try again with him. Logan walks off angry with Scott and her. Meanwhile, Luke returns home to the Quartermaine mansion and shares a drink with Tracy. Tracy tells him off for leaving her to deal with the aftermath of him taking Laura off into hiding. She tells him that she had to spend months in Shadybrook because of him but managed to convince Edward to have her released because she could bring leadership back into ELQ and save it from financial ruin. Tracy tells him that Scott dropped the charges against him and so he doesn't have to worry about hiding out from him. Tracy tells him about her scheme to get Scott to drop the charges against her and him by proving that he had a son and abandoned him and his mother years ago but it backfired. Luke asks her what happened. Tracy explains to him that Scott's son is none other than Logan Hayes and asks him if he remembers him. Luke remembers something about seeing Logan hanging around Kelly's. Tracy tells him that Logan is the one he is thinking about. Luke gets very upset when Tracy tells him that Lulu is infatuated with Logan and got involved romantically with him then dumped him. However, she tells him that Scott just made a deal with her that if she would give Logan a second chance then he would drop the charges against Luke in exchange. Luke gets angry with Tracy for not trying to stop this from happening. Tracy reminds him that he has been gone for months and that Lulu is an adult and can do what she wants. She wishes him luck in convincing Lulu to listen to him or anyone else. Meanwhile, Scott shows up at Logan's place to talk to him. Logan confronts him about blackmailing Lulu into giving him another chance. Scott tells him that he was just trying to help him and thought this would be a good way to do it. Logan tells him that he had no right to use Lulu's parents to get her to take him back since he wanted her to come back to him because she wanted to not because she was forced to. Scott tells him that he thinks Lulu wants to give him another chance and this deal gave her the incentive to try again with him. Later, Spinelli talks to Lulu about her decision to give Logan another chance and how he is worried about her. She thanks him but tells him that it may not happen since she just told Logan about the deal and he wasn't very receptive to the idea. Scott talks to Lulu later at Kelly's and asks her why she told Logan about their deal because now Logan hates him even more than ever. Lulu tells Scott that she couldn't lie to Logan since the reason they broke up was because he lied and cheated on her and she didn't want their relationship to be based on a lie again. Scott shows up at the Quartermaine mansion and is greeted with a punch in the face by Luke, who warns him to keep Logan away from his daughter or he will do it for him. Lulu shows up at Logan's place and tells him that she wants to give their relationship another chance and not because of Scott's deal. She tells him that Scott did drop the charges against her father even though he knew they may not get back together. Logan tells her he wants to get back with her more than anything. Lulu tells him that he has a lot to make up for what he did to her.

Meanwhile, Emily tells Nikolas that Jerry told her that he was the one who stabbed him for no reason. Nikolas doesn't want to believe he would stab someone, even if it is someone he hates as much as he hates Jerry Jax.
