Monica: Emily! I have been worried sick about you.
Emily: Why? Mom, I called --
Monica: You didn't come home last night.
Nikolas: And I apologize for any inconvenience, but there's really nothing to worry about.
Emily: Yeah.
Monica: I think there's something to worry about. Emily almost died. Now, whether or not she's in remission, you cannot push yourself!
Emily: No, it's okay, it's okay, Mom. I feel better than I have in my whole life, okay? Nikolas and I figured out what we want, and we're together.
Faith asks Zander to work for her.
Emily: Nikolas and I are together now, mom. I don't want to waste another second of my life.
Monica: I am in remission, too.
Emily: I know.
Monica: I know what it's like to want to grab life. But, Em, you're trying to do too many things way too fast.
Emily: I was, but I've made my choice.
Monica: Okay. Okay, well, does that mean that you are going to settle down and give yourself a chance to get well?
Emily: Yes, I will. I promise.
Monica: All right, thank you.
Emily: I love you, Mom.
Monica: I love you, too. See you later.
Emily: Okay. Bye.
Nikolas: Bye. She loves you so much.
Emily: Yeah. She's just a tad bit overprotective.
Nikolas: Yeah, you know, it wouldn't hurt to slow down a little bit, Em.
Emily: Yeah, I know. You know, I have to clean up with the mess with Zander.
Nikolas: I'm not sure that's possible.
Emily: I know, but I have to at least try.
Emily: Zander? Zander? Do you have a minute?
Emily: I don't want to leave things like this.
Zander: Okay. Say what you want to say.
Emily: You deserve so much better than I gave you. I never meant to hurt you, but I did.
Zander: I'll file for divorce as soon as the caffeine kicks in.
Emily: Zander, I'm so sorry.
Zander: It's funny, you know? All the lying and cheating, letting me catch you. You know, that's the kind of thing that I do -- taking something I love and killing it. Because for a while you were this -- I don't know -- hope, a beacon in the night, just one chance in a million, and I turned my life around to be worthy. And that was my mistake, because I don't know you. I don't know you at all.
Zander: I appreciate the offer, Faith. I really do.
Faith: Do you read the papers? Because I just took out the five families. I am in a position to offer you a job with great perks and lots of upward mobility.
Zander: I understand that. I'm just saying I work better alone.
Faith: Well, what if this work involves Cassadines?
Zander: I'm listening.
Faith: A Cassadine ship just entered the harbor. I need it to transport product.
Zander: Okay.
Faith: Okay, so I need to get someone aboard, find out what I'm dealing with before I take control. It will cause the Cassadines major problems.
Zander: When do I start?
Emily: Zander's like when I first met him, only worse.
Nikolas: You're not responsible for how Zander lives or what he does anymore, Em.
Emily: I know. Yeah, I was supposed to be Zander's big savior, but I ended up ruining his life.
Nikolas: Well, we could have all handled things differently, I think.
Emily: I've made terrible choices, and I'm responsible for them, you know? My intentions were good, but I've done real damage.
Nikolas: No, no. I wish I could make this better for you.
Emily: Well, you are. You do.
Nikolas: Well, what Zander does next -- it's up to him. What you and I do next is up to us. I don't feel guilty for being in love with you. Please don't feel that way about me.
Emily: I feel bad for him, but I'm not sorry I love you. I'm ready to, I don't know, explode with joy.
Nikolas: Yeah, that makes two of us. Come here. I love you. Come here, I want to show you something.
Emily: Okay.
Nikolas: See that ship out there?
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: That's a Cassadine vessel right there.
Emily: Oh, it looks brand new.
Nikolas: It is. I ordered it before the bottom fell out. Bought and paid for. That ship could save the Cassadines. It's my best chance to pay off the debt and start over. You're looking at the future right there.
Emily: Oh. And I love it with all my heart.
