Hayden finds Finn sleeping on an examination bed; he wakes with a start and asks if there is an emergency.  She tells him to tell her; she also tells him that Griffin suggested she talk to him about what’s going on with him.  He claims he is just tired because he has worked 12 hours without nursing assistants; she can tell he is still not telling her something… she asks him to be honest with her now.  He manages to get out of telling her that he is still sick; but Griffin is still suspicious.  As Finn tries to care for Anna, he breaks out in a sweat and drops a syringe; Griffin demands he tell him what is going on.  Finn admits to Griffin that he is still sick.

Franco tells Liz he feels 99.9% better; he tells her he wants to go to dinner at Kelly’s.  She says she can’t; Apiphany and Felix walk in, saying ‘knock, knock’ – they are there for a strategy meeting.  They decide Franco would be the perfect ‘mole’ and ask him if he would mind going to work and questioning people to find out if the hospital is in chaos without them, or getting ready to fire them all.  He willingly does it.  Laura brings a bedpan and rubber gloves to Tracy, and tells her that she needs to step up; they are in dire need of help with the nurses gone.  Tracy says the only thing she’s stepping up to is the bar, and walks off.  

Laura follows Tracy and sits down at the table; she tells Tracy exactly how she feels about her plan to lay off the nurses.  She says that may save a ‘few’ dollars, but it is going to kill the hospital – the nurses are the heart and soul, she says.  She pleads with Tracy to make the board change their mind.  Tracy says she almost always believes that the end justifies the means; she agrees with Laura that the subject of General Hospital’s history is extremely sentimental.  She tells Laura that she has gotten her thinking maybe there is another solution.  Franco finds Hayden and begins to inquire about the layoffs; he is taken back when her response is to tell him that Art Therapy is one of the “non-essential” programs that is going to have to be cut and she fires him.  

Nathan shows up at the room, where Nina is waiting for Valentin; she is disappointed it’s not her husband.  Valentin carries Anna into the hospital emergency room and lays her on a table; Griffin sees him and asks what he has done to Anna.  Valentin sits by Anna’s bed and whispers something in Latin; an incantation to heal, he says.  He kisses her hand.  Finn comes back with the lab results from Anna’s blood work; Griffin asks what he found.  Finn says, “it’s not good.”
