## Storylines

* Port Charles
* General Hospital

Lucy Coe arrived in Port Charles in January 2013 and encountered John McBain whom she mistook for Caleb after the death of Jason Morgan and the imprisonment of Cesar Faison. At the time, he was hanging out with Sam Morgan and Lucy mistakes her for Livvie. However, they don't know who she is, and try and walk away. But Lucy stabs John later, thinking she's killing Caleb, to protect "Livvie." She ends up getting arrested and sent to Ferncliff Sanitarium, after being declared insane where she meets Heather Webber.

Alison later arrives with her teenage son Rafe Kovich Jr. She ends up dead by the silver arrow/spear that she gave to Rafe. John McBain arrives on the scene and takes Rafe to the PCPD. Rafe is processed and booked. Rafe says he did not kill his mother and initially points to McBain as the murderer when Police Commissioner Anna Devane asks who killed his mother. The murder weapon is tested for fingerprints and the results show that Alison, Rafe, and "John's" prints are on the murder weapon.

John McBain starts to warm up to the possible idea that there might be someone that looks like him and decides to work with Rafe to possibly find out who could be the true killer. At the same time, Caleb is shown returning to the crime scene. Lucy escapes Ferncliff with Todd Manning and Heather Webber and goes to Wyndemere right where Helena Cassadine and Jerry Jacks were at. Todd and Heather soon after head out after convincing Lucy to take a nap. Lucy is awoken by Caleb, which possibly could be a dream. Caleb goes to the jail cell that Rafe is being held in and takes him, with some help with a guard, to the crime scene. Caleb decides to re-construct the crime in order to kill the guard. He tries to disappear with his son afterwards, but Rafe refuses to go anywhere and escapes.
