He went on to say Spinelli had been part of the solution, and when rebuffed asked if Jason would have known how to find the directions to do a C-section online. (Now, there's an image – Jason in cyber space.)
Robin made the rounds of the hospital apologizing to all she had lashed out at, including student nurse Layla. She also told Dr. Ford in his inquisition that Patrick had done all he could to save Stacy. In the end, she found herself in the nursery, trying to comfort the crying orphaned infant, which is where Patrick found her, though he kept his distance, watching her through the window. He appeared to be searching his soul for where the two could possibly go from here; her desire to have kids is so strong and he is so deathly afraid of the prospect.
The last person to be questioned by Dr. Ford and the attorney was Jason, and when he tried to unload his guilt and apologize, he was stopped and praised for his actions. Unable to accept it in light of Stacy's death, he fled to the roof where the sun was rising and the night shift was coming to an end.
A reoccurring theme with these episodes, and the roof scenes that close them, seems to be that how a person deals with tragedy and disappoint when the event passes and a new day dawns is what truly defines a person. Much to its credit, Night Shfit shows these events through each pair of eyes of its diverse cast. Everyone working the night shift the Saturday night Stacy Sloan was trapped in the elevator and lost her life, will deal with it differently and take something unique away from it. The only question remaining is just who is this angel of darkness wreaking havoc on General Hospital's Night Shift.
Next week on the Night Shift:

I really thought last night was a step up for the whole show with writing and even the acting.. Bradford did amazing pretty much everyone did.. Why couldn't we have gotten a story like this on GH?

I will admit the writing has been really good on Night Shift, honestly, better than I expected it to be.
It definitely has a very sleek and faced paced feel that we are use to seeing in night time drama's, but I also think it has to do with the fact these are medical stories inside the hospital, not mob stories in the office of Sonny's coffee shop.
Guza has said in interviews at the end of its 13 week run they are going to incorporate as much of this cast into the Daytime show as possible. I hope that means new medical based stories on GH.
Bradford was pretty incredible. When Spinelli broke down into tears as he watched 'the charmed one' through the nursery window, I'll admit my eyes were a bit misty as well.
The final scenes with Jason running up the steps to the rooftop, seeing the breaking dawn, and breaking down were touching as well. Though I thought Robin was going to be there and they would fall into each other's arms since Patrick was being so distant... Bigtime 'scrubs' fan that I am, I can't believe I was hoping for a Robin/Jason moment, but the NS is an alternate universe, right.

All the main players were identifying with Stacy for some reason or another. Robin obviously because of her HIV status. I believe Patrick was distancing himself because he was over-identifying with Stacy, too. Spin saw his back family situation we've only touched on (Did you notice he started crying harder when the other baby's parents picked up their child?) Jason has had more than his fair share of baby tragedy, and this just brought it all to the forfront.
Good episode, and extremely well acted by the four mentioned.

Thanks for chiming in KSC. I totally agree Patrick was over-identifying with Stacy. I would love to see some background on why he's so afraid of becoming a father. It's been represented that he was college age when his mother died and Noah started drinking and distancing himself, so I think it has to go deeper than that one incident. (Though I guess it would make a huge impact at any age.) I just get the feeling there is so much more to this and I hope we get into the meat of that story soon.
I'm also looking forward to getting into Spin's past too as is being promised on the daytime show.
