Alice and Heather made arrangements to meet with Cal Jamison since Jeff was quarantined at General Hospital because of an epidemic. Tracy and Alan fretted about Edward, who has a heart condition. Monica cried on Rick’s shoulder that Edward was the only father she’d had. Lesley told Laura she was seeing a psychologist about her sexual problems with Rick. Jeff sang Ann’s praises when she donned her nurse’s uniform to help at the hospital. Beatrice Hewitt died, and Gail feared Lee could be next. Lee is improving while the search is on, headed by Mitch, to locate the epidemic carrier. Jeremy remembered all the sick people he saw in Africa. Lesley had her first session with Kassorla’s therapy group. Susan, back from New York, was interested to see Larry Joe, Heather’s ex, staying with Alice and Heather. Monica confided to Gail that she still has feelings for Rick, while Tracy taunted Alan about Rick and Monica’s close confinement. Mitch was the hero of the day when he had the needed plasma flown into Port Charles with Tracy’s aid. Mitch tracked down Luke’s chef whom everyone believed was the epidemic carrier. Meanwhile, P.J. came down with the fever since Jeremy has been staying with the Taylors. Lesley used her therapy experience in dealing with Laura but was haunted about Rick and Monica. Susan got Larry Joe drunk and learned about Heather and Jeff’s past. Monica feared facing Alan with her reawakened feelings for Rick. Gary’s book draft was accepted and Tracy convinced him to write promotional material for Mitch which irked Gina. Jeff and Anne became chummier while Susan taunted Jeff about Larry Joe and Heather. Anne suspected Jeremy was the epidemic carrier but he split from Diana and Peter’s house after overhearing that his grandmother had died. Steve came down with Lasa fever but refused treatment. Audrey pondered telling Jeff that Steve is his father. Mitch and Tracy searched for Jeremy who’s holed up in a museum. Luke scared Cal off when he came in person to get more money from Bobbie who lamented the death of her friend Chris from the fever. Monica realized the possible end to the epidemic meant leaving Rick and facing Alan. Lesley continued her therapy with Kassorla. Audrey told Jeff that Steve is his father, just as Steve’s condition improved. Cal was wounded by Wallace’s hitman, Delancey, who later died. Cal held Bobbie hostage while she treated his wound. The epidemic was halted when Mitch found Jeremy who was treated to rid his system of the virus. As the quarantine was lifted, Rick and Monica realized they are tempted by each other. Laura confessed to Lesley that she had remembered pushing David during Les’ trial, but had kept quiet. Laura now fears that Les hates her. Jeff blamed Audrey for revealing the truth about his mother’s affair with Steve.

No one knows but it appears Jeremy is the carrier of lassa fever. With Rick quarantined at the hospital, Lesley decides to start group therapy. Heather's ex-husband, Larry Joe, arrives in Glenville where Heather and her mother are staying while Jeff is involved in the epidemic crisis. Bobbie's brother Luke comes down with fever. Trying to get back in good graces at the hospital, Bobbie volunteers for crisis duty and asks to work with Lesley in the clinic. Frank Wallace orders a hitman to get Cal Jamison.
The fever epidemic continues to spread. Hoping to learn more about Heather's first marriage, Susan befriends Larry Joe. At a group therapy session, Lesley learns it's all right if she doesn't always love Laura. P.J. is showing fever symptoms. Luke is fearful when one of his workers at the disco comes down with epidemic-like symptoms. Returning from New York, Gary agrees to help Tracy write speeches for Mitch. Luke agrees to give Bobbie the $300 Cal Jamison is demanding. Jeff still thinks Heather can have more children. Jeff and Anne are growing close while staying at the hospital to help fight the epidemic.
Falling victim to lassa fever, Steve refuses to have plasma until everyone else does. Chris Jergens, Bobbie's friend and an orderly at the hospital, dies from the fever. Annie realizes Jeremy is the probable carrier — but it may be too late. Overhearing his grandmother Beatrice Hewitt has died, Jeremy runs away. Cal Jamison warns Heather he's going to call Peter and Diana to tell them he has information about their adopted son P.J. Cal contacts Diana but refuses to say what exactly he wants. When Cal shows up at Bobbie's to collect $300, Luke chases him away. Laura admits to Scotty she remembered long before Lesley took the stand that she, and not Lesley, was responsible for David Hamilton's death.
Fearing Steve is about to die from lassa fever, Audrey tells Jeff that Steve – not Lars Weber - is his natural father. A resentful Jeff recalls a childhood where he never felt a part of his family and suspects Lars may have known the truth even though Audrey assures him he did not. Steve's fever breaks and Audrey thinks he'll never forgive her for telling Jeff the truth about his parentage. Lesley is horrified to learn how long Laura withheld the information before admitting to Peter that it was she, and not Lesley, who killed David Hamilton. Suffering a minor gunshot wound in the shoulder Cal Jamison takes refuge at Bobbie's!
