Luke and Nikolas are standing just inside the cemetary gates.
Luke: When are the cops going to arrive?
Nikolas: As far as I know, they've all been reassigned.
Luke: You haven't called them yet?
Nikolas: Why would I?
Luke: I heard your eulogy. You say you loved Stefan. I killed him. Payback.
Nikolas: As far as I'm concerned, Luke, the war between our families died with my uncle.
Luke: I'm not convinced.
Nikolas: I don't care. Nikolas walks closer to Luke. I won't let you do to me what you did to him.
Luke: Kill you?
Nikolas: Become a monster that you created.
They've moved, Nikolas is near the coffin with Luke watching him.
Nikolas: Before you Luke, my uncle was always calculating but he was never evil.
Luke: I don't know from evil. What he was was a rotten bastard.
Nikolas: Never violent towards women, didn't even believe in murder.
Luke: What are you talking about? He tried to murder Emily and he killed Summer in the process.
Nikolas: He tried to kill Emily because he loved me, the same way you hounded him to his grave because you love Laura. You -- you needed to defend her, avenge her. And now that you've done it what did it solve? Nothing.
Luke: Stefan's in that box for one reason. It took a while but it got the job done.
Nikolas: I'm not going to waste my life on a war that no one wins. I understand why you had to kill my uncle, and I accept it needed to happen. Let's just end it here, shall we?
Helena walks in through the gate and stares at the men.
Helena: Charming attitude but a trifle naive. The way to achieve lasting peace is to destroy your enemy. Isn't that right Luke?
Emily is at General Hospital and approaches Zander who is standing in the lobby.
Emily: Hi.
Zander: Hey.
Emily: Oh, my God. What happened to your hand? Camera pans to wrapped and bandaged hand.
Zander: I got into a fight. You here to see your parents?
Emily: No -- chemo, actually.
Zander: Are they starting a third combination of treatment?
Emily: Third one's a charm, right?
Zander: I hope so...you know what? Whatever happens, Emily, I -- I just -- I want you to be well.
Emily: Thank you.
Bobbie: I'm sorry to interrupt, but Dr. Misra can see you now.
Emily: Al right, thanks, Bobbie. Bobbie leaves. Okay, well -- I hope your hand feels better.
Emily walks away to Dr. Misra and leaves Zander staring after her.
Helena: I knew that Luke would return to admire his handiwork, but why are you here?
Nikolas: I came back here, Grandmother, to thank my uncle for the years he spent protecting me from the both of you.
Helena: Stefan was wrong about everything. Now can't you see that he was wrong about me? I've always loved you, Nikolas, and for good reason. Your strength and your intelligence are worthy fo your name and heritage. My grandson, the true prince.
Nikolas: Prince of what? I have a bottomless debt and an empty title with only one use -- to banish you, to treat you as if you're already dead, because to me, you are.
Nikolas walks out and Luke and Helena have some witty banter. This continues into the next scene and they discuss how the CAssadines are depleted, and if their feud is finally over. Luke has won but Helena has to get the jabs in about Laura in the institution and Lucky being a cop. Luke possibly threatens Helena with death. This bleeds into the next scene, Luke continues to taunt Helena. She seems a little scared of him.
Emily comes up behind Nikolas who is talking to Bobbie.
Emily: If you're telling Nikolas he's amazing, I'd have to agree.
Nikolas: Oh, hi. Nikolas wraps Emily in a one arm hug and kisses her forehead. How you feeling?
Emily: Hi, good. So far, so good.
Nikolas: Good.
Bobbie: I'm very glad to hear that.
Emily: Thanks.
Bobbie: Take care. Bobbie leaves them alone.
Emily: Okay.
Bobbie: Bye
Nikolas and Emily: Bye
Emily: Hey.
Nikolas: Hey.
Emily: Don't take this the wrong way, but I just had a chemo treatment and you look worse than I do.
Nikolas: Well, Luke was there after all.
Emily: Mm-hmm?
Nikolas: And then my Grandmother came back. They -- they hounded my uncle his entire life, you know? Maybe -- maybe he deserved it. You'd think they could just let him be buried in peace.
Emily: You know, Luke and -- and Helena and their endless, awful fight is in the past. You're life's your own now. You're free to do whatever you want. Even give m.e a ride home. Emily laughs and Nikolas smiles at her.
Nikolas: I love you so much.
Emily: I fell exactly the same way about you.
Nikolas pulls Emily into a hug and they rock back and forth. The camera looks off into a distance to see Zander staring at Nikolas and Emily.
