Because of the power failure, the main elevators were not operating, which forced the interns to use the patient elevator.
Arriving on the 6th floor, the interns discovered that it was under construction and that the reception was a scam. Greg Cooper
pulled a gun and began to taunt the interns and uncover the secrets they were hiding.
Secretly, Joe paged Frank for help, which only angered Greg who continued to insult and badger everyone. Frank learned from Audrey Hardy that there was no reception. Audrey and Chief Resident Dr. Faulk headed to the 6th floor. Audrey was
seriously injured and Dr. Faulk was killed by Greg when they arrived. Realizing the seriousness of Audrey's injuries, the interns
decided to act fast. Joe used a drill to relieve the pressure on Audrey's brain. To distract Greg, Karen agreed to strip for him.
At the same time, the interns overpowered Greg and gained control.
Meanwhile, Lucy was at her doctor's office and found out that she is pregnant. On her way to tell Kevin the "good" news, Lucy was in the elevator at the hospital as the lights flickered and the power failed. She screamed and hoped someone would hear.
Upon hearing Lucy's cries for help, Greg fired the gun at the elevator. Lucy escaped Greg's gun fire by climbing on top of the
elevator. Then, the elevator plummeted and Lucy was left hanging on for dear life.

Later, Gail called Kevin to tell him about the hostage situation and that Lucy was stuck in the elevator. Kevin headed for
General Hospital. Kevin and Frank found Lucy and moved her to a more stable place in the elevator shaft. Frank went into the
elevator to try to fix it and rescue the hostages. Still in the elevator shaft, Kevin and Lucy hung on to a ladder as Kevin tried to
hot-wire the elevator. Lucy fainted and began to slip from Kevin's grasp. Lucy regained consciousness before falling as Kevin
restored the power. Finally, Frank and the SWAT team burst onto the 6th floor and rescued the hostages.
In Ontario, Scotty, who had been making a living building furniture, visited Serena at school. Scotty left Serena at the after
school program and, as he drove away, a mysterious car pulled up. Scotty returned to pick-up Serena and learned that she had been kidnapped by people in a car with NY license plates. Thinking Lucy and Kevin kidnapped Serena, Scotty chartered a
plane and headed for Port Charles. Rushing to find Lucy and Serena, Scotty had a brief encounter with Lee at the airport and
promised that he and Serena would stay with him and Gail.
Lucy was taken in for questioning about Serena's disappearance and arrested. Mac tried to help but was unsuccessful. Scotty
barged in and confronted Lucy about Serena's whereabouts.

a doctor.

things. Frank's beeper went off and they both left for the hospital. Lucy who was still being held for questioning, finally told the
agents about her doctor's appointment. Lucy then told Kevin that she is pregnant. Lucy told Kevin that she wanted him to find

agreed. In the Scanlons' kitchen, Joe tried to sing Frank's praises to Julie. Frank told Julie how proud he was of Joe especially

going on. Lucy and Scotty covered by using the Nurse's Ball as an excuse. Karen arrived to ask Scotty about someone to

with her as it did with Joe. Kevin left and Lucy reminded Scotty that he has two daughters. Lucy left for the hospital to give
another blood sample. When Lucy arrived at the lab, she heard a tape of Serena singing. The kidnapper approached Lucy from behind demanding her not to make a sound. As all the interns gathered for Joe's hearing, Julie and Jake agreed that Joe
shouldn't be the only one facing the review board. On the other hand, Chris and Eve were clear they would testify that they
were not involved. Mary arrived and was upset she wasn't informed about the hearing beginning today. Frank told her it had
been moved up and advised Joe to keep his cool. Alan, Monica, and Tony entered and the hearing began. Tony explained that
Audrey would have died if some action had not been taken but the use of an electric drill was excessive. Joe insisted that he
didn't have a choice. Alan told Joe that he would have a chance to speak. Tony then admitted that he was in a similar situation
when he operated on Audrey and the computers crashed. It was brought up that Tony had been an experienced surgeon and
not an intern. Chris began to testify that Joe overreacted because there had been a gun pointed at him. Chris also said that
Cooper had been manipulating the situation and suggested the surgery. Karen came to Joe's defense and explained that they
had no choice. The other interns, except for Chris and Eve, testified that Joe did not act alone and that they had assisted him.

hearing.

plan. Lucy agreed but demanded proof that Serena is alive. Rex said he would give them proof tomorrow. Later, Lucy talked
to Kevin, but didn't tell him about her encounter with Rex when he asked what was wrong. Kevin then told Lucy that he could
not have picked a better partner and they would get through anything.

situation was similar to combat conditions which would change the way any normal emergency room functioned. Scotty then
expressed that the interns' lives were in danger and there had been no guidance from experienced doctors. Mary surprised the
group when she wheeled Audrey into the hearing and Audrey thanked Joe for saving her life. Joe explained what happened and said that he would do it again in order to save a life.
