General Hospital, April 1979
(by Jon-Michael Reed)

Susan tipped off Jeff about Heather’s birth control pills and Gina was forced to admit they were prescribed because Heather can’t run the risk of bearing another child.  The probation judge dropped charges against Laura after Rick forced a bar witness to admit he lied.  Bobbie snuggled up to Roy in gratitude.  Steve blew up at Audrey for telling Jeff about his paternity and Audrey went to Utah with Tommy.  Gina was shocked to learn that Gary’s book is about how to lose weight through an active sexual life.  Heather was stymied in her scare tactics for Diana when Peter changed their phone number to an unlisted number.  Spence Andrews, one of Lesley’s group therapy members, ingratiated himself in her life by bringing his son to her for treatment. Rick went into an emotional tailspin after learning of Jeff’s parentage.  Edward had an attack after refusing to loan Tracy money to finance Mitch’s campaign.  Susan encouraged Larry Joe suggesting he and Heather are ideal for each other.  Jessie caught Bobbie admitting she’d do anything to get what she wanted.  Heather resumed harassing Diana anonymously, but Susan noted that Heather’s on the phone a lot lately.  Rick admitted he’s opposed to Laura and Scotty’s marriage.  Gina found Tracy in Gary’s arms, but they were celebrating his book’s upcoming publication.  Monica had guilt nightmares. Steve and Audrey reconciled.  Rick alienated everyone, while Jeff cooled down about his parentage revelation.  Monica admitted spending the night with Rick to Scotty and Laura, but was interrupted before she could tell that nothing happened.  Tracy worked overtime to uncover Rick and Monica’s secret.  Bryan warned Laura she’s pushing Scotty into marriage too soon.  Heather plotted to get rid of P.J.’s baby sitter, Maggie, so that Diana will be defenseless.  Tracy was stymied making a scene about Monica and Rick at Alan’s party for Lee and Gail.  Later, Mitch dropped her in favor of Susan.  Dorrie asked Howard to move in with her.  Monica assured Scotty that nothing happened with Rick.  Rick was haunted by memories of his mother living a lie about Jeff’s parentage.  Rick stormed out of a board meeting after Alan jumped on him for doing lousy reports.  Tracy confided in Gary about Mitch’s rejection.

Jeff tells Heather he is Steve's son; instead of feeling sympathy for his confusion, she is elated. Steve puts Jeff on report for leaving the hospital without permission. Lee is to become Jeremy's legal guardian. Gail and Lee plan to marry. Alan warns Tracy to quit pushing Mitch's political career down everyone's throat, else he'll run for office himself. The judge decides not to send Laura to reform school. Gina informs Jeff that Heather can never risk having a baby.

Rick is stunned when Jeff tells him Steve Hardy — not Lars Weber — is Jeff's father. Overhearing Luke and Bobbie, Jessie realized the trick they played on Laura. Dan persuades Jessie to give Bobbie one more chance. Anne wants to adopt Jeremy. Tracy warns Monica she's going to try to catch her with Rick and then tell Alan. Heather realizes Susan told Jeff about taking birth control pills and vows to get even. During an argument with Tracy about her inheritance, her father suffers an angina attack. Rick vetoes Scotty and Laura's June wedding plans.

Jeff and Steve try to work at being loving father and son. Rick, still stunned by revelation of Jeffs paternity, admits to Monica he wants to find solace in her arms. Discovering his father had an angina attack while Tracy and Mitch were talking to him, Alan plans to get to the bottom of it. Tracy gets her father to lie about the subject of converstation when he had the attack. Audrey returns from her sister Lucille's; Steve forgives her for telling Jeff the truth. Still trying to drive Diana mad, Heather has Larry Joe call Diana and ask about P.J., mixes up the medication to make it look as if Diana has made a mistake, and warns Diana that Maggie is an unfit nursemaid for P.J.

Tracy overhears Scotty and Laura discuss the night Rick and Monica spent together; she urges Mitch to check the time each left the hospital after the quarantine was lifted. Mitch takes Susan to bed. Heather wants to adopt Jeremy so she can gain control of his custody trust fund. Bobbie is still hoping to get Laura in trouble but her brother Luke warns her to lay off. Rick is unable to accept the fact of Jeff’s illegitimacy. Gary keeps making snide remarks about Howard's feelings for Gina.
