June 23, 2003 Screencaps

Luke and Scott outside of the gates at Wyndemere with Capelli looking on. A cop comes and says they found the body. On the bluffs, the rest of them are standing. Zander has Emily in a bear hug while Stefan looks on. He’s pissed. He realizes that something went wrong.

Emily: You're squeezing me.

Zander: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm just so glad to see that you're okay.

Emily: Why did you think I wasn't?

Alexis: A woman went over the cliff, Emily.

The camera pans to the bottom of the bluffs. Lucky is rocking Summer in his arms and asking Nikolas why she died.


Nikolas and Lucky, who is rocking Summer. Nikolas is trying to make sense of the accident and then Scott comes down and says it might not be an accident. Scott is upset that it’s Summer, he tells Nikolas that he wants answers about what happened. Lucky tells Summer he’s going to find out exactly what happened to her. Back on the bluffs, Alexis warns Lydia away from Scott. Zander pulled Emily away from the ladies as Alexis and Lydia go down to the bluffs. Nikolas and Emily start to talk as Stefan leaves.

Zander: For one terrible second, I thought it was you.

Lydia: Well, clearly, it wasn’t. Emily's okay. So who took the fall?

Emily: I know. I wanted to head you off so you wouldn't make trouble at the engagement party. I know you're hurt and angry and --

Zander: Okay, okay, none of that is important right now. You know what? All that matters is that you're alive and safe. You look cold. Come here. Let's get you inside.

Darius comes into the drawing room with Stefan. Stefan is extremely upset.

Darius: Mission accomplished, Mr. Cassadine.

Stefan: Is that so?

Darius: Emily Quartermaine is no longer a problem.

Stefan: You imbecile! You pushed the wrong woman off the cliff!

Darius: But, Sir, I --

Stefan: I should kill you where you stand. Stupidity like yours shouldn't be allowed to exist, especially in my employ!

Darius: I could try again --

Stefan: Only because I can't afford two corpses on my property in one night, I'm going to let you live. Now, you take the tunnels and leave me before I change my mind. Get out!

Darius is standing there scared and then Lydia shows up on the doorway. Stefan starts to threaten her.

Lydia: Please, don't let me keep you. You must have been very angry. It's not like you to make threats with the door open.

Stefan: How much did you hear?

Lydia: For the record -- in case you care -- Darius pushed Summer. She's dead.

Stefan: Unless you want to follow her, you will never, never repeat those words again.

Lydia: Oh, yeah, leave it to Stefan. He'll clear the way to Nikolas. I didn't realize your plans included murder.

Stefan: Shut up! You're forgetting something. You're an accomplice.

Lydia: I didn't do anything.

Stefan: Oh? The D.A. may think otherwise once I tell him your compelling motive for wanting Emily out of the picture.

Lydia: No one would believe that I tried to kill her.

Stefan: What are you willing to risk to find out? Hmm? You have two choices. Either you keep your mouth shut about what you heard here tonight or you can say goodbye to Nikolas and all that money you covet and hello to a prison cell.

Stefan leaves and Lydia looks after him scared.


Back in the drawing room, Nikolas is consoling Lucky. The camera pans over to the couch where Emily is sitting with Zander. Emily tells Zander that she was with Summer and Luke right before she fell. Stefan is looking on speculatively. In comes Scott and everyone asks him what evidence they’ve found. Scott mentions it could be murder and then yells for Capelli. Capelli brings in Luke and Lucky goes after him.


Scott pulls Lucky off of Luke and Stefan says that Scott has his murderer. Stefan makes Emily tell everyone what she saw.

Scott: Lucky, Lucky, back off. We'll handle this. Back off!

Luke: Summer's dead?

Lucky: Don't you even act surprised!

Stefan: Well, I see no reason for you to detain us any further, Mr. Baldwin. You obviously have your perpetrator.

Alexis: Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions awfully quickly?

Stefan: I don't think so. Emily witnessed something very interesting this evening. Tell the D.A. what you saw.

Scott: Well, Emily?

Emily: I saw Luke with Summer.

Scott: On the bluffs?

Emily: Yes.

Scott: What were they doing?

Luke: We were arguing, all right?

Scott: That's it?

Luke: There was a little struggle.

Scott: Why does that not surprise me? When was this?

Emily: Couldn't have been long before Summer fell.

Scott: Right before she fell.

Scott starts to spew his theory about how he thinks Luke killed Summer and then Luke interrupts and yells how he’s guilty.


Luke is going on and on about how he’s guilty. He’s walking around the room, saying how he hates the Cassadines and how they ruined Laura and how he should be helping her. He moves slowly over to where Capelli is standing beside Scott…it’s close to the door. Suddenly, Luke grabs Capelli’s gun, shoots it off into the ceiling, hits the lights as everyone is ducking and runs out. Scott yells and tells everyone to get out and look for Luke.


Stefan comes back into the drawing room.

Stefan: No sign of Luke.

Alexis: Maybe that's for the best.

Stefan: Why do you say that?

Emily is standing in front of the couch with Zander. She looks pale and starts to sway.

Emily: Is -- is it okay to leave? I -- I just feel --

Emily falls backwards and Zander catches her and gently rests her back. Nikolas leans over the edge of the couch and grabs her other arm.

Nikolas: Em --

Zander: Whoa, what's wrong?

Emily: Nothing. I just -- I feel a little lightheaded.

Zander: Em, you're like ice. You look pale. We should call a doctor.

Nikolas: Zander, Emily’s not your concern anymore. What are you even doing here? Tonight was supposed to be about Emily.

Alexis: Maybe it is in more ways than one.

Nikolas: What does that mean?

Alexis: For argument's sake, let's suppose that Luke didn't do it.

Stefan: You never stop defending the man.

Alexis: I don't t hink he did it. I saw the look on his face when Lucky accused him of killing Summer. He was shocked, genuinely. He didn't do it. Did anyone see the color of Summer's coat? Look at Emily’s coat. It's almost exactly the same color. Those coats would look identical at night in fog. So, maybe someone wasn't trying to kill Summer, maybe they were trying to kill Emily.

Everyone looks at Alexis speculatively.
