Storylines
After Ava Jerome’s face was scarred in a fire, Valentin Cassadine told her about Dr. Klein, who had removed his birth defects years ago. Ava met Dr. Klein in St. Petersburg, Russia, when she checked into an upscale private clinic. Klein agreed to help Ava, but she needed to keep away from Patient 6 who was sedated because he was dangerous. Ava ignored Klein and discovered that Patient 6 was a prisoner at the clinic.

Ava wanted her scars to be fixed so she tried to hide her visits to Patient 6 but Klein kept finding them together. He told her that he wouldn’t treat her anymore if she kept ignoring him. Patient 6 gave Ava a piece of paper with a phone number on it. Klein took the number and called someone to explain that Patient 6 couldn’t be controlled anymore with the strong tranquilizer he had been given. Klein was told to increase the dosage of the tranquilizer even if it meant an overdose.
