Dobson explains that the reason he doesn't exist is because he has been a victim of identity fraud and through no fault of his own had to start over. Cameron shows up and Dobson thanks him for showing up to speak on Alexis' behalf. Cameron looks bemused and willing to play along. Cameron defends Dobson. Zander shows up to overhear. Thinking he is helping Alexis, Zander pops in the foyer to announce that his father is not protecting Dobson for Alexis but for himself -- because they're dating! Zander takes off after stating that he has his own life, and he does not care. Skye fires Dobson. Dobson points out it's illegal to fire someone for their homosexuality. Ned tells Dobson he is not fired. Dobson asks for a moment alone with Cameron. Ned makes a bit of fun of the relationship but is relieved it has nothing to do with Alexis. In the other room, Dobson thanks Cameron. Cameron says, "Thanks to you my son thinks I'm gay!" Dobson finds it amusing that Skye & Ned think he's a man -- and that he's in love with HIM! Cameron kisses Dobson and says he wished they'd never met. Dobson tries to stop himself from giggling and remarks that Cameron just likes his beard!

June 12, 2003
Dobson is half-heartedly dusting when Edward bellows. He wants to meet with Dobson at the Port Charles Grille for dinner to discuss a few things. Dobson leaves the room. At the Grille Dobson is trying to get a better look as Judge Farmer, Ned & Skye take a table. Edward wants him to pay attention. Dobson informs Edward that Skye plans to marry Ned and become stepmother to Kristina. Edward thanks him for letting him know and decides to formulate a plan
to keep that from happening. Edward orders a double scotch for himself and Dobson and insists Dobson drink up. Ned tells the judge that he feels he's earned his right for custody back. The judge says that until Alexis is finished with her therapy, she cannot make that decision. Dobson finishes his drink and approaches to eavesdrop. Skye informs the judge that she sees her role as being the only person in Kristina's life giving her a mother's love. Ned and Skye both say that Alexis speaks of a job which doesn't exist and that her visits are becoming more erratic. Ned points out that since her sister died Alexis has never been the same. Edward catches Alexis coming out of the men's room. She tells him there was a line in the ladies' and he should get more stalls. Alexis shows up at the table with the Judge and Ned and Skye. She takes the drink proffered her and tells everyone that unlike Skye, she does not have a problem with alcohol. The judge tells Ned & Skye that, off the record, the court would look more favorably upon them as permanent custodial parents of Kristina if they were married. Dobson has a run-in with the judge in which he tells him that Skye deserves to die. Dobson, drunk, returns to Edward. Skye, the judge and Ned approach Edward. Dobson defends Alexis mightily, even going so far as to accuse the judge of impropriety. Dobson then announces he will tell them who he is -- but instead he passes out.

June 19, 2003
Dobson finds a piece of mail addressed to Kristina c/o Skye Quartermaine from a Parents & Playtime Place. He digs to open it but Skye shows up and tells Dobson it is a federal offense to open other people's mail and tells Dobson she hopes he has a good lawyer. Ned berates Dobson. Dobson leaves. Dobson listens as Skye tells Ned of her plan for a family thing with Kristina with this Parents thing she set up. Dobson's cell phone rings and Ned and Skye ask him
to answer it. It's Stefan who wonders why Alexis sounds funny. He summons her to Spoon Island immediately. Alexis goes to visit Stefan and he asks for her help in making Nik and Emily forgive him.

June 20, 2003
Edward gives Dobson the night off. Ned and Skye enter and talk about how they are going to the Parenting play session with Kristina and Skye remarks how happy she is that Ned chose her over Alexis. Dobson answers the door for Cameron. She tells him she couldn't reach Ms. Davis, and that Skye and Ned have enrolled in a family play class with the baby. Dobson leaves and Cameron tells Skye he has some interesting things to tell her. Alexis shows up to meet Stefan and he remarks that she's twenty minutes late. Lydia assumes she is Alexis Cassadine but Alexis corrects her.

June 23, 2003
Alexis tells Emily a woman fell over the bluff and Lydia questions what woman took the fall. Stefan looks mad. Alexis tells Lydia to be wary of what she says to Scott. Alexis wants Scott not to jump to conclusions about Luke. Scott spins a tale and Luke "confesses". Luke's "confession" includes all the reasons the Cassadines are evil. When he is done ranting, he grabs the officer's gun, shoots the ceiling, everyone ducks and he leaves. Alexis ups the ante when she suggests perhaps Emily and not Summer was the target. She remarks on the similarity between their outfits and how in the fog they might look the same. Stefan and Lydia look nervous.

June 24, 2003
Alexis explains further reasons why someone might've mistaken Summer for Emily. Emily cannot think of why anyone would want to kill her. Stefan thinks Alexis has no basis for this idea; Lydia thinks she has a point. Alexis looks knowingly at Stefan during her exposition. Stefan tells Alexis she threw the election campaign to keep Luke out of jail -- is that not enough? He wonders
why she keeps defending him. Stefan suggests Luke was not the only intruder on the island. Stefan reminds Alexis that she wouldn't have survived her childhood, if not for him. He expects her to act like a Cassadine. Lucky enters and announces that if he finds out a Cassadine killed Summer, the Cassadine/Spencer war is going to reach a whole new level.

July 1, 2003
Ned tells Skye he wants to devour her. They make sure to note their relationship is just two people coming together because they love Kristina. They begin making out. Dobson shows up holding lamby-pie and Ned asks what he is doing with that thing in his arms. Dobson says he could ask him the same question. Skye asks Dobson what he was doing with the lamby-pie and assumes he was on his way to Kristina's room. Skye impolitely reminds Dobson that it's not in his job description to look in on the child. Skye and Ned announce they are going
to the PC Grille for dinner. They leave and Dobson sticks his tongue out at them. Ned goes to get the car. Skye goes to the closet to retrieve her scarf. She tells Alice not to let Dobson anywhere near the baby. Alice defends Dobson. Skye threatens to fire Alice if she defies her. Skye leaves. Dobson thanks Alice for defending him and asks her to keep an eye on the door while he heads for the nursery. Alice stops Dobson from going upstairs. Dobson asks Alice what he can do to allow him to go up and see the baby. Alice wants him to go into the living room, pour them both a glass of champagne and discuss it. Dobson agrees to kiss Alice on the cheek in exchange for seeing the baby. Dobson leans over and Alice begins pawing him. They end up on the couch. When they come up for air Alice is wearing Dobson's mustache. Dobson puts it back on. Alice pulls it off. Alice is repulsed that she thought Alexis was a man. Dobson looks guilty. Skye witnesses the whole thing.

July 2, 2003
Skye apologizes for being so mean to Dobson and then asks him if he would babysit for Kristina today. Dobson says yes. Dobson overhears AJ leaving a message for Alexis to get back to him immediately. AJ tells Dobson he needs to see Alexis when she shows up; he will be waiting in the den. Dobson takes off through the French doors. Alexis tells AJ that her license is suspended. He asks if Kristina and Michael switched places would she want Sonny raising her
daughter? She tells him he has a chance at gaining custody.

July 3, 2003
Alexis tells AJ she won't do anything to jeopardize her visits with Kristina which is why she can't help him regain custody of Michael. AJ says perhaps he can arrange for extended visits. She tells him it would be unethical. He tells her she used to be the moral barometer in town but she ended that when she was convicted of murder. He walks away and as he is leaving he says she is lucky that Sonny is nowhere near her daughter. Alexis turns to say something to him. Cameron and Skye walk through the foyer, laughing and joking. They come upon Alexis with the baby and Skye says she had no idea Alexis was even there. Alexis tells Skye she is obscenely transparent. Alexis asks Cameron why he is with Skye; after all, he's her doctor. Skye reminds them that he is not her doctor anymore. Alexis wants to talk to Cameron alone but he tells her to call the office. He leaves. Alexis and Skye discuss her condition.

July 4, 2003
Dobson observes as Edward tells Dillon he's required to go to the picnic in the park, and as Skye and Ned tell Edward they can't go to the picnic because Alexis has a scheduled visit with Kristina. Dobson leaves and Skye tells AJ she has arranged for Lorenzo to show up for a business meeting with him during Alexis' visit and that it will blow her plan out of the water. Skye invites Cameron into the Q house -- she has invited him to observe the visit. Alexis shows up. She picks up Kristina. Lorenzo shows up. Alexis hears his voice and turns around with a deer-in-the-headlights look, Kristina in her arms. Lorenzo moves towards Alexis and introduces himself to her. She tells him to stay away from her. After he leaves Alexis tells Skye she is even more vindictive than she thought, exposing her daughter to the man whose brother she killed. Cameron looks like he wants Alexis to watch what she says. Skye says she thought her alter killed Alcazar -- does this mean she faked? Alexis and Cameron end up outside Kelly's where she wonders how she could have been so stupid. He tells her that she did nothing wrong except prove her therapy worked -- she confronted the brother of the man her alter killed and didn't flip back into the alter -- Skye gift-wrapped her daughter and gave her back to her. Alexis smiles. Alexis and Cameron watch the fireworks together.

July 9, 2003
Dobson is playing with the baby; the baby grabs his mustache. Alice descends the stairs and tells Edward she is quitting and if he wants to know why, he should ask Dobson. Dobson tells Edward that Alice is leaving because of his impropriety. He apologizes to Alice and says it won't happen again. Alice goes upstairs with the baby and Edward instructs them to kiss and make up. Dobson
tells Alice that when Kristina is returned to him, he'll be looking for a nanny and if she can just hold on a little longer in this job, she's got a job just as soon as possible. Alice goes upstairs. Alice watches as Dobson thanks Cameron for his help and awkwardly embraces him. He promises that Kristina will be returned to Alexis and that Skye and Ned seem to know something but he doesn't know how much. Cameron tells Dobson it's time for him to tender his resignation. Skye arrives home just in time to overhear Dobson tells Cameron that unless he tells someone about the faked DID, no one will ever know. Skye comments to herself that she hopes they don't bet on that.

July 10, 2003
Alexis tells Cameron no one will ever know that she faked the DID unless he says so. She and Cameron discuss the plan. Cameron says it's important to document everything to present to Judge Farmer, and not to jump the gun. Scott shows up at the Qs. Dobson lets him in. He and Skye go into the other room and shut the door. Skye asks how he'd like to send Alexis to prison forever. He says he wants to send someone to Sing Sing this year and Alexis will do. Skye tells him to mark 2003 on his calendar because she's about to give him exactly what he wants. Skye tells Scott that Dobson is Alexis. Scott refers to Dobson as the Monopoly Man. He gleefully realizes how many orders Alexis is in violation of and just how many years he can send her to jail. Dobson phones Judge Farmer and leaves a message, as Alexis, requesting a meeting.

July 15, 2003
Ned and Alexis meet at Kelly's. He tells her that he wants to work out a deal for joint custody now. She asks if he's insane. Ned tells Alexis he's the one who's been taking care of Kristina for six months. Alexis says all she ever wanted to do was take her daughter home and that she won't share custody. Ned calls her names. She says that he can call her delusional, irrational, crazy or "freakin' out of her mind", but that does not give him the right to take her child. He tells her she is making a mistake. Alexis tells Ned that he and the thing that passes for a girlfriend will have their ties to Kristina severed and that he ought to prepare to say goodbye. He tells her not to do this and she walks away. Later, Ned tells Dobson to stick around. He berates Alexis and says she thinks of Kristina as nothing but a possession whereas Skye truly loves her. He says Alexis has done nothing to pay for killing a man; she has suffered no consequences.

July 18, 2003
Skye tells Dobson that this is a very important dinner and he better not screw it up. Ned arrives and they kiss. Dobson exits. Cameron shows up. Dobson tells Cameron he's arranged to meet with Judge Farmer next week because he cannot have Kristina with these people anymore. Judge Farmer shows up for dinner. She tells the assembled crowd that she only has Kristina's best interests at heart. Scott shows up next with his date for the evening - a woman who is a specialist in DID disorders and has served as an expert in three trials in which the would-be criminal was convicted. Dobson hears this and drops his tray. All eyes turn to him. Cameron warns Dobson that this is a trap and he'd better get out of there. Dobson insists that they can still turn this around. The female psychiatrist says that she would have come to the same conclusion that Cameron did, which is that Alexis faked the DID. Dobson looks worried. The female psychiatrist said that while preliminary findings would suggest that Alexis was not faking the personality, further examination would not suggest that. Why didn't she manifest it during the birth or when she attacked Luis with the scissors? Therefore Cameron was lying. Dobson looks stricken at the fact this man might be in trouble because of Alexis. Judge Farmer tells the room that Alexis cannot be charged for the same crime twice -- it's double jeopardy. However, Cameron can be arrested. Scott happily announces the police are on their way; he also happily says that Cameron did it because he fell in love with Alexis and he wanted to keep her from going to prison. Dobson takes off his disguise and reveals that it was he (Alexis), not Cameron that faked the DID and that Cameron ought not to be blamed.

July 21, 2003
Alexis finishes taking off her disguise. Skye gleefully informs the assembled crowd that Alexis has been breaking the court order for months, and that she faked the DID. Alexis admits she killed Lorenzo and she knew what she was doing. Alexis explains, through the use of black & white flashbacks, that she killed Luis in self-defense. Judge Farmer disgustingly excuses herself and the other psychiatrist because they will have to likely testify in the next trial. Skye is elated when she thinks the case will be reopened until it is pointed out that Alexis cannot be tried for the same crime twice. Scott says he will bring charges against her for other stuff that should net her 7 years in jail. Ned says he will not. Alexis looks hopeful. Edward is still stuck on the fact that Dobson saw him in his underwear. Alexis says even that was worth spending more time with her daughter. Skye, Ned & Scott head to the foyer to discuss. Ned says that Scott will not send Alexis to jail. AJ rubs Alexis' nose in the fact that when he asked her to help get his son back she refused; now he cannot wait to watch her suffer too. Ned reminds Scott of all the times he personally went out of his way to screw him over, and that he is now taking the opportunity to do the same thing to him -- there will be no charges against Alexis. Scott says he is recommending
Ned gets permanent and full custody. Alexis is not pleased. Ned tells Scott he will not be arresting Cameron either. Edward says he wants Alexis out of his house. Alexis leaves the room and picks up Kristina. Skye goes into the foyer and accuses her of kidnapping. Skye and Ned want to know what Alexis is doing with the baby. She says she is saying goodbye. Alexis points out that every single one of the people in the room have twisted the law to suit their own needs;
they ought not sit in judgment of her. She tells Skye that she has taken a little girl away from her mother and tells Ned he has assumed rights that he never had the right to assume and that there is no way this is the end of things. She hands him the baby; she and Cameron leave together. Ned has the good sense to at least look a little concerned that Alexis, unlike others, does not make empty threats.

July 22, 2003
Alexis, in glasses, tells Stefan she needs to get her baby back and she will do anything to ensure that happens. He asks her if she is willing to become a Cassadine again. She says yes. Lucky and Scotty enter and want Stefan to confess his crimes. Alexis listens uncomfortably as Lucky lays out what he thinks happened to Summer. Stefan mentions that Darius met with an accident; small planes are so dangerous. Alexis is clearly torn; Lucky wants her to back him up; she has just made this promise to Stefan. All eyes are on her. Lucky is far from impressed with Alexis as all she will offer to help him is that she doesn't think Luke killed Summer, either. Lucky leaves. Scott asks Alexis what she is doing there. She bids him goodnight. After he leaves she accuses Stefan of killing Summer. Stefan asks Alexis what Luke's ever done for her. She says Luke is innocent. Stefan refuses to admit he tried to have Emily murdered. He tells her that if she wants her baby back she will be a Cassadine again -- completely.

July 24, 2003
Alexis hands Stefan a document that takes away Nikolas's choices. She tells him she's not proud of it. He tells her unless she can agree to meet his terms 100% she should tell him she wants out now. She says she'll do anything to get her daughter back; he takes a few jabs at her and her character. Ned and Skye flirt. He says she deserves a prize -- the most beautiful baby in the world. Ned lifts the baby out of the buggy. He hands her to her as Alexis comes upon the scene. Alexis calls Stefan and tells him she's in - he can do anything to Ned.

July 30, 2003
Cameron runs into Alexis, who's been drinking, at the Grille. He thanks her for putting herself on the line for him and tells her that things could've gone a whole lot worse -- she wasn't charged with breaking the restraining order or anything else. She says there's a new restraining order now; she's lost her daughter forever and she wishes she'd never met him. Alexis tells Cameron off. He points out all the ways he kept her secret. She throws her drink on him. He leaves. Skye brings Kristina to the hospital and puts her in Bobbie's arms. Alexis shows up and asks what's wrong. Skye reminds her of the new restraining order. Bobbie won't let Alexis touch her own daughter. Skye tells Alexis if she bursts into the examining room, she'll make sure she gets arrested. Skye accuses Alexis of not putting Kristina's needs first and of treating her like a possession. Alexis tells her that she's going to see her daughter and no one will stop her. She tears away from Skye and goes off to locate Kristina. Alexis tries reasoning with Mac but he insists she hand the baby back to Skye so he can arrest her. Cameron shows up and she asks for his help. Mac asks if he is going to weigh in. Cameron says it seems as though Alexis broke the restraining order & if it were him, he'd arrest her. She sarcastically thanks him for the payback and stands as the officer arrests her. Alexis leaves a voicemail for Stefan saying she wants to step up the plan. Bobbie comes out with Kristina. She won't let Alexis hold her because of the restraining order; Skye is nowhere in sight. An emergency happens and Bobbie wants to help out. She allows Alexis to hold Kristina. Two seconds later Mac, an officer and Skye step out of the elevator to arrest Alexis.

July 31, 2003
At Wyndemere, Alexis thanks Stefan for getting her out of prison. He tells her that he promised to keep her safe from the Q's and he will deliver. Alexis tells Nikolas she can't say congrats; he understands. She then tells Lydia she's marrying a noble man. Lydia says Nik should feel lucky too - since he's marrying all that money.

July 31, 2003
Stefan wants Alexis to make a toast. She lifts her glass and gamely begins with "sometimes good things come when you least expect them". Nikolas sarcastically thanks everyone in attendance and exits. Zander goes to the hospital to see Cameron. They discuss Alexis for a bit, then Zander tells his father he's leaving town for good. Alexis turns up at the hospital and asks for Cameron to be paged. He shows up behind her. He wonders what plot she's cooked up next. Very sincerely she asks him to treat her - literally - because she doesn't want to end up as another screwed up Cassadine.

August 6, 2003
A sign is up on the door of Kelly's advertising a breast cancer walk on August 7th. The camera pans to Alexis & Stefan. She tells Stefan that she wants to see her daughter before first grade. Skye and Ned approach with the child. Stefan loudly screams that Alexis is an embarrassment to the family. Stefan continues to berate Alexis. She turns around, sees the baby with Skye & Ned, tells Stefan to go to hell, then leaves. Stefan tells them that he should have left her in jail. Stefan tells Ned and Skye that he plans to rebuild the family in a new way with Nik's help. Too bad Alexis disgraced the family too much to fit into the picture. Ned leaves. Skye tells Stefan while she believes he would turn his back on his own sister, she doesn't think he actually has. Alexis, in glasses and wearing the breast cancer walk t-shirt, shows up to Cameron's for a session. She chatters nervously as she settles in. She agrees to let him tape the session and reiterates his unease at treating her as his patient. He tells her anything else they share must remain at the door. She keeps talking nervously. Alexis tells Cameron she made a deal with the devil - her brother, Stefan. She gives him a short back history of Stefan and tells Cameron that in order to get her daughter back, Ned will be proved an unfit parent. Cameron shuts off the tape recorder. He tells her that she came here for absolution and he will not grant it to her. He tells her that Ned is the legal father and that she shouldn't ruin his life because she doesn't like that he has custody, not her.

August 7, 2003
Lydia tells Stefan if Nik doesn't start acting like a husband, she'll get the marriage annulled and find one elsewhere. She leaves and Alexis enters, telling Stefan that girl should eat something in an effort to seem more pleasant. A woman watches Ned in the park. He exits. Skye tells AJ she wishes she could guess Alexis' next move but that Stefan makes her nervous. Ned hands Kristina to Alexis. Skye looks over angrily but doesn't say a word. She tells AJ that she can't say anything now because it would interfere with her future plans. Cameron tells Alexis that a world of possibility opens up when one is willing to make compromises. Stefan looks on and hears Cameron telling her how much better it is to compromise than to set out to ruin Ned. Alexis hands Kristina back to Ned and he suggests perhaps they can work out an agreement. She tells Stefan she thinks Ned is backing down. Stefan stays it's too late because the plan is in motion. The woman who was watching Ned earlier approaches him and asks if he used to be Eddie Maine. She then smacks him hard when he says yes.

August 8, 2003
The woman who's just slapped Ned tells him they met at an Eddie Maine concert in Syracuse in 1994. That's the year he started performing as Eddie, with Lois as his manager. She storms off as Stefan, Alexis & Skye look on. Alexis looks over the P.I. report and can't believe Stefan is using THAT to try to get her kid back. Stefan says it sets a precedent. Alexis tells Stefan she wishes there were another way to fix this thing with Ned. He asks if she wants him to back off the plan. She hears Skye prompting Kristina to call her mama and Alexis tells Stefan to continue. Ned approaches her and tells her it's been a long time since Eddie's Angel and wishes they could work things out. She thanks him for letting her hold her own daughter. Skye informs her not to get used to it.

August 15, 2003
After being coldly rejected by Sonny when she asks for his help, Alexis becomes resolved to have Stefan carry out his plan against Ned. Stefan gives Alexis an out of town assignment because he wants her to be gone when he makes his next ugly move on Ned.

August 29, 2003
Alexis hands Stefan some papers and tells him that she got her license reinstated and can practice law again. S he asks if Ned will ever recover and Stefan says sure -- if he ever gets out of prison.

September 2, 2003
At the PCPD Scott and Cameron are talking when Alexis enters. Scott tells Cameron that Alexis' brother Stefan is the one who was brought in today. Alexis passes by Cameron without saying a word, enters the interrogation room with Stefan, and asks for a moment alone with her brother. Stefan tells Alexis the charges are ridiculous. She says there must be something to them if they were enough to convince the police, and more importantly, Nikolas, of his guilt. Cameron enters and tells Alexis that Stefan set her up. Cameron asks Alexis whether she enlisted Stefan's help in getting her daughter back before or after he killed Summer. He asks her how many murders have to be committed in the name of her daughter, and then leaves. At the PCPD, Cameron tells Alexis she's done enough covering up for one lifetime when it comes to murder and asks how much more she's going to do in the name of her daughter.
September 3, 2003
Alexis looks longingly at a photo of her and Kristina. Stefan enters. She tells him the photo was sent by Ned, taken at one of her supervised visits. She asks Stefan what his plan is -- since the police are determined to put him away for this murder. Alexis shows up and announces she's Stefan's lawyer. Lucky berates her. At Wyndemere, Alexis tells Lydia she might want to watch what she says -- people go to jail for perjury. Lucky again berates Alexis. Alexis tells Stefan she
spoke to Lydia who told her that she heard him dismiss Darius when he killed the wrong person. Stefan says that perhaps they can get Darius to admit that Lydia was in on it with him and suggests Alexis find him. Alexis says no. At the PCPD Alexis figures out that the Darius thing was a gaslighting technique invented by Lucky and Lydia to make Stefan nervous.

September 4, 2003
At the PCPD, Alexis tells Stefan that framing Lydia will cast suspicion on him. He says she has to find a way to work with him. Alexis shows up to question Lydia further. Alexis tells Lucky and Lydia that in the law there's a presumption of innocence until proven guilty and that both he and his father have benefited from that in the past: why shouldn't Stefan? Lucky urges Alexis to go visit Emily. Alexis visits Emily. She takes off her glasses and asks Emily if she knows the
legend behind the bracelet Nikolas gave her.

September 5, 2003
Ned and Alexis run into each other on the street. He tells her Alice is taking Kristina to the park tomorrow and asks if she wants to join them. She says she's going to be out of town. A very young girl 'bumps into' them on the street. The young girl pulls out a CD and asks "Eddie" to sign it. She then recognizes Alexis and asks if she's Eddie's Angel. Alexis deflects. The girl leaves and Ned asks if Alexis had something to do with that. Alexis says no. Alexis shows up at the PCPD and tells Stefan that she is leaving town. He says that's not a good idea because if she leaves, she'll never have a chance at getting her daughter back. Alexis tells Stefan she will ensure he isn't found guilty. He threatens her some more.
