## Storylines

On March 10, 2017, GH was on lockdown as Olivia Jerome had been on the loose. Elizabeth Webber tells Griffin Munro as he talks to Hamilton Finn that his patient in ICU needs him. Griffin asks if she is talking about Marisol Valdez and wants to know what is going on. Liz says Marisol’s parents couldn’t get into the hospital because of the lockdown. Marisol is alone, scared, and asking for her doctor. Whatever Griffin and Finn are discussing will have to wait.

Later Liz comes into Marisol’s room as the fire alarm is going off. Griffin asks about the alarm and Liz tells him they are evacuating the hospital. She asks if he needs help transporting Marisol. Griffin says his patient is too sick. She won’t make it if she is moved. Liz says Marisol might not make it if she stays as they are saying there is a bomb and not much time left.

Jordan announces on the PA that everyone, including staff, must evacuate immediately. Liz says she checked with a few officers who can help them move the bed. Griffin appreciates what she did but tells her to go. He was briefly Charlotte’s father and realizes what it means to be a parent. He can’t give up on Marisol. Liz reluctantly leaves him while Drew Cain (as "Jason Morgan") and Curtis Ashford take care of the bomb.

On August 31, Griffin meets with Marisol again who is with her father Enrique Valdez. He thanks Griffin for staying with his daughter during the bomb scare. Griffin asks what is going on and sees on Marisol’s charts that her headaches are back. Enrique says they are worse than ever and his wife is in the chapel praying. Griffin says he will put a rush on her lab results.

Later Dr. David Bensch says he was in the ER last night when Marisol was admitted. He wants Griffin to take a look at the test results he ordered. Griffin asks Marisol if he can borrow her dad for a minute. Kiki Jerome and her mother Ava watch them and Kiki mentions that everyone in the hospital knows Marisol after Griffin wouldn’t leave her the night of the lockdown. Kiki thought Marisol was doing better but Ava says Griffin is breaking the news right now.

On September 5, Griffin tells Dr. Bensch he got his page. Bensch says that last night Marisol’s parents noticed she couldn’t use her right arm. Griffin asks how extensive the paralysis is and Bensch says that two hours ago her entire right side was paralyzed which affected the lungs. She doesn’t have much time and her parents are asking for Griffin.

Enrique tells Griffin that his daughter is getting weaker. Griffin says the paralysis is shutting down her organs one by one. Marisol’s mother says her daughter seemed fine yesterday. Griffin says things can happen quickly at this stage. He tells them to be with their daughter and he will make her comfortable and promises she won’t suffer. When they left, Griffin calls Father Reyes to come to the 10th floor at the hospital and to hurry.

Father Reyes meets with Griffin and began last rites on Marisol. Later Reyes tells Ava that Marisol went peacefully and Griffin blames himself as he feels like a failure as a doctor and a priest.
