There are no screencaps for this day as neither Nikolas nor Emily made an appearance however, they were mentioned throughout the episode.

Connor Bishop is also played by Tyler Christopher, who plays Nikolas Cassadine.

Georgie: I have definitely made up my mind --

Dillon: Mm-hmm.

Georgie: That I am going to apply to U.S.C. Next year so that way we only have to spend 40 school weeks apart.

Dillon: "Only spend 40 --" I can't handle 40 days without you.

Georgie: Really?

Dillon: I'm needy. I have -- I have issues.

Luke: Hey! Hold it down! Skye's voice: The way I heard it, all hell broke loose on Emily -- heck, on everyone -- when you teamed up with Helena.

Tracy: Is verbal abuse the going price of a martini these days?

Skye: Blame it on the approaching new year. Makes me a little reflective. You know, I was looking back on 2004 and taking emotional stock -- which some people do actually do, you know -- and it just leapt out at me -- the pain you caused this family when you turned Cassadine lackey against Nikolas and Emily -- which was a really dumb move, by the way, Tracy, because Helena could have killed you.

Tracy: Tell me something. Why all this sudden talk about Helena?

Luke: Easy, Blaze. Don't let her get wise.


Skye: Well, Helena may be a sudden topic to you, but she's certainly not to me. I mean, I'm reminded of her every single time I look at Emily and think about the mess that Helena made out of Emily's life.

Tracy: She's young. She'll get over it.

Skye: The point is Helena was a monster, and the world's a much better place without her in it. And I'm sure you agree that Nikolas deserves an award for throwing that old bat off the ledge instead of getting a prison sentence. So tell me, Tracy, do you miss your partner in crime?

Tracy: The only thing I'm missing is my martini, thank you. And by the way, whatever you think you're hiding with that rose -- too late. Most of the men in town have seen them already.

Skye: Jealous hag. Luke, sorry.

Dillon: Well -- what was -- what was that?

Luke: That, my boy, is what we call a fishing expedition.

Dillon: Right. And you want to catch my mom?

Luke: No, no, we're not after her. But we have a very strong feeling that she may know where the big shark swims. See, I'm trying to clear Nikolas of a bogus murder charge.

Georgie: Bogus?

Luke: Yeah, I got a real strong hunch that Helena is about as dead as I am.

Dillon: Real -- what? Your theory's pretty -- pretty out there --

Georgie: I have a question. How could Helena survive falling off a cliff?

Luke: I don't know, Georgie. Maybe she levitated. Maybe she sprouted bat wings and flew off to Transylvania. All I know is if she's out there I'm going to find her.

Dillon: Oh, I get it. So Nikolas and Emily -- they get their lives back, and -- oh, that was really cool. That's actually really awesome of you to do that.

Luke: Well, yeah, it is awesome of me. But don't pin any boy scout medals on me, because I have my own agenda here. Laura and I fought that horror show most of our lives. If there's anybody who's got the right to snuff out Helena's lights, it's me, not Nikolas.

Skye: Well, that got us exactly nowhere.

Luke: Oh, well, here, let me help you.

Skye: Luke!

Luke: Well, don't worry. There's always another way.

Skye: I guess I wasn't the best choice for that sort of thing. Why would tracy tell me anything? I mean, isn't there one person in this entire world that that woman actually trusts?


Luke: I don't know why we didn't think of this before. You're the perfect man for the job.

Georgie: No, no, no, this is a terrible idea. If helena is alive and in hiding, then she's not going to want to be found, and if she thinks Dillon's responsible for that, then I don't really even want to think about it.

Luke: Chill, young Georgie. I got his back.

Skye: Yeah, we all do.

Georgie: I understand that, but Dillon and I are already forbidden to see each other, and if this blows up in our faces --

Dillon: I'll do it.

Luke: We start tonight.


Dillon: Hey.

Tracy: Oop! Look who it is -- my prodigal son!

Dillon: Hi! Mom, didn't see you there. I didn't.

Tracy: No, no, no, no, no, don't go, don't go. I miss you. I don't ever get to see you since you decided to give up our beautiful home for this tub.

Dillon: Well, you know, that's really great. I would love to play catch up with you, but I actually have a lot of things that I have to do, and I'm kind of in a hurry, so I will -- I will talk to you later. Okay?

Luke: Where do you think you're going?

Dillon: My room.

Luke: You don't live here anymore.

Dillon: What?

Luke: Is this how you repay me for my generosity --

Dillon: Hey, whoa!

Luke: For letting you stay here on this boat rent free?

Dillon: Where did you get that?

Luke: Under the mattress in your room.

Dillon: You're searching my bed now?

Luke: No. It's my bed. You're just using it. And there's been an awful lot of money disappearing around here, and I've been wondering where does it go, and now I know. Now, are you going to give it back to me before or after I call the cops?

Skye: Oh, hey, Luke, come on, don't!

Luke: Huh?

Georgie: Wait a minute. I'm sure Dillon has a really great explanation for this, right, Dillon?

Dillon: Yeah. I -- I --

Luke: You what?

Dillon: I can work this off, okay?

Luke: No --

Dillon: I can -- hey!

Luke: I'm going to check you right now.

Dillon: Come on, man! This is --

Luke: Oh -- oh, my God! I can't --

Dillon: Whoa!

Luke: His pockets are full of my chips! You are so out of here! I should have known better than to hire a Quartermaine, nothing but lying thieves.

Skye: Hey, I resent that. I'm a Quartermaine.

Tracy: No, you're not.

Luke: Well, there's an exception to every rule, but it ain't him.

Georgie: Wait, Luke, please.

Skye: Come on. Give the kid a chance.

Luke: Why should I? I am no sentimental dope.

Skye: Because I'm asking?

Luke: I'm a sentimental dope. Well, you're lucky I got a soft spot for Skye. I won't call the cops, but I want you off this boat tonight.

Skye: Tonight? Luke, please be reasonable.

Georgie: Where is he supposed to go?

Luke: I couldn't care less.

Dillon: That's -- that's great. That's -- that's great.

Tracy: You can come home with me.

Dillon: No way.

Tracy: Don't say that. I miss you. Why do you think I come here all the time?

Dillon: You got a gambling problem?

Tracy: That's mildly amusing, but, no. I come here to see you, to hope that maybe I'll run into you and we can have a conversation like we used to. I miss being part of your life, Dillon. Make me happy. Come home. It would mean the world to me.

Dillon: I don't know, I --

Tracy: How about this -- I won't tell Mac you're seeing Georgie behind his back, hmm?

Dillon: That's blackmail.

Tracy: Is it working?

Dillon: I don't -- I don't really have a choice, do I?

Tracy: Goody.

Dillon: Only until I get things smoothed over with Luke.

Tracy: I'll take anything I can get. Come on.


Luke: Yeah, well, you and Lucky keep Connor under wraps until tomorrow. Yeah, call us when you get back into town. Okay.

Skye: Emily and Lucky found Connor?

Luke: And he agreed to help.

Skye: You're kidding.

Luke: You're surprised.

Skye: I'm floored, actually. Oh, wow. Luke, do you think we'll be able to pull this thing off?

Luke: Hmm. I know Helena. I know how she thinks. I know what motivates her. The thing that gets her moving in forward motion the fastest is her beloved grandson, so if we get a good, fake version of Nikolas and we wave it in front of her, it'll make her jump out of that coffin so fast that it'll make the headstone spin. And then we'll just turn her over to mac and we'll demand Nikolas' release.

Skye: Hmm. I still don't get why Connor would agree to help. He was safe in Canada. Why would he risk everything?

Luke: Never underestimate the power of a pretty face. He's probably got a thing for Emily, like I do for you.

Skye: A thing? Oh, my, you are so romantic.

Luke: I'll show you romantic.


Tracy: Sweetheart?

Dillon: What?

Tracy: Did you steal money from Luke to buy drugs?

Dillon: Are you crazy? No.

Tracy: Did you knock up the police commissioner's daughter?

Dillon: Oh, my God, mom, why do you aways have to go to the most negative place possible? Sometimes people need money for good things.

Tracy: Like what?

Dillon: That is -- okay, besides that, I would never do anything to jeopardize Georgie's future because I love her, you know?

Tracy: Sweetheart, she's your first girlfriend. In a few years, you won't remember her name.

Dillon: Okay, see, that's where you're wrong. That's where you're wrong. Georgie and I are, like, meant to be, you know? We're destiny. We're fate, like, you know, Nikolas and Emily.

Tracy: There's a shining example.

Dillon: See, here's the thing -- you're not looking at the facts. All these forces were lined up against them, including you, and did they give in to the pressure? No, they're still together, going strong. In fact, they're better than ever.

Tracy: Hello? Have you been paying attention? Have you not seen Emily wringing her hands and sobbing into bedpans alone, with Nikolas out of reach, out of her life? Why are you smiling?

Dillon: Nothing. I'm -- nothing. It's just --

Tracy: What? What is it? Spit it out.

Dillon: Nikolas isn't as out of reach for Emily as you think.


Dillon: Do you know Connor Bishop? Like, he looks, like, exactly like Nikolas cass--

Tracy: Oh, yes, yes, yes. What about him?

Dillon: Okay, all right. Well, Connor felt so guilty about blackmailing Nikolas into confessing for Helena's murder that he pulled a prison switch. Connor's in, Nikolas is out. Nikolas is in hiding. Emily's not even really upset. She just pretends to be. She goes and sees him whenever she wants. It's kind of romantic, actually. I think it's like an old movie or something.

Tracy: Where's the romance in living in the shadows?

Dillon: They don't always live in the shadows.

Tracy: Oh, Dillon, what does that mean?

Dillon: Okay -- thank you -- all I'm saying, Mom, is that this is exactly the type of thing that costume parties were designed for. No, I'm serious. You promised me. You cannot breathe a word of this to anyone, okay?

Tracy: Do not gesticulate with your cutlery. I already told you -- put the fork down! -- I will not tell anyone. And what do I care if Emily wastes her life? Now do me a favor, push yourself away from the table, and go tell the driver to the start the engine. I want the car warm by the time I get there. Go!

Dillon: See you in the car.

Tracy: Ahem. Guess who. I wanted to tell you about a little costume party that's going to be at that new hotel opening thing tomorrow? Someone you are dying to see is going to be there.


Luke: Okay, it sounds like our plan may have worked. Tracy made a call to someone. Hopefully it was Helena. So what we do now is just go to the party and set the trap.

Skye: Luke, these are costumes. It's a masquerade ball that Jax is giving. There's a big difference.

Luke: Does that mean you won't wear the costume I picked out for you?

Skye: This isn't a costume. This is a wig!

Luke: Well, it's all you need if you're Lady Godiva.

Skye: Oh, surely you jest.

Luke: No. I'm going as your horse.

Skye: Yeah -- horse's ass, maybe. Look, the whole point is it's supposed to be a masquerade ball, and Lady Godiva doesn't wear a mask. I have to be incognito.

Luke: Baby, if you're naked, nobody's going to look at your face.
