Oh Brother

Patrick checks in on Matt and Robin joins him and inquires how Matt is doing. They discuss his prognoses. Patrick says to Robin that he is only supposed to be consulting but every time he looks at Matt he sees himself. Robin gives him a quizzical look. Robin voices her surprise at Patrick's empathy for Dr Hunter. He is just like himself Patrick explains, Robin agrees he is like the old Patrick. A little while later we come back to Patrick & Robin watching Matt from the hallway. Robin questions Patrick on his interest because he was only called to consult on this case. Patrick explains that someone needs to make decisions for him. Robin asks if his family has been notified. No family listed, no next of kin. Patrick explains his mother is listed as deceased. Robin has an idea!

Welcome home Dr Drake!

Anna exits the elevator in the hospital and finds Noah. She gives him a big smile and he rewards her with a big hug. "It's good to see you" she tells him. "When did you get back?" she wants to know. "About an hour ago" he explains. He was off with Dr's Without Boards we find out. He was happy to help them but his glad to be home he tells Anna as they take a seat in the lounge area. "Any fireworks while I was gone?" Noah asks Anna. Where to start Anna ponders. Well......she tells him about the very public proposal, the refusal, the Internet campaign, false labor...... "Is the baby ok?" He wants to know right away. False alarm Anna explains. "Our granddaughter is going to arrive right on time" she assures him. Patrick emailed him that it was going to be a girl Noah shares with Anna. They discuss how they don't have a clue what's coming. Relieved Noah shares that he was worried history would repeat itself if it was a boy.

I need a favor Mom!

Robin finds Anna in the lounge waiting for her. Sorry she is late she apologizes to Anna. Anna says they are just going to buy a car seat, not diffuse a bomb. Not to worry, Anna says she is there to support her and drive her crazy because Robin will find out soon enough that's what parents are there for. Robin asks for a favor. Can she call headquarters and ask to use the database? For what? Anna wants to know. Robin explains they have a patient, a Dr actually and they need to find his family.

Male bonding

Patrick explains to Noah about his humiliating very public marriage proposal. Noah tells him humiliation is good for the soul. "I'll be sure to to do it more often" Patrick says to his Dad. Noah is proud of him and tell him it was the right thing to do. "I've said this many times Patrick,
but I really mean it. I'm very proud of you" "Wow! It actually sounds like a real Dad talking" Patrick responds. Noah says he knows he didn't do the right things but as a father, Patrick is already doing the right ting. Patrick assures him Noah has done a few things right. Noah responds with "I've made more mistakes than you know" Patrick is sure he will find more about his own self. Noah laughs and says Patrick will be one hell of a Dad!

Is the cat out of the bag?

Anna is in the hallway in front of Matt's room on the phone with headquarters giving them all the info she has on Matt. When Noah comes around the corner, he has his head down looking at a chart. As he approaches Anna he hears her say Matt's full name and his head snaps up in surprise. Noah interrupts her call and asks if she just said Matthew Hunter? Yeah, Anna explains he is a patient in this room and they can't find any family. Noah walks slowly into Matt's room and stares at Matt. Anna finishes the call and joins him. Anna asks Noah if he is ok? "Yeah" Noah responds. Anna asks "Do you know him?"...................
