Emily: Okay.
Knock on door.
Emily: Come in. Ni-- Connor. Your costume's great.
Connor: Yeah, you think I could pass as Nikolas?
Emily: Yeah. Believe me, Helena will definitely be fooled.
Luke: I don't know. There's something wrong.
Connor: What? The costume?
Luke: No. You know what it is? It's your posture. You're too casual. You got to stand --
Knock on door.
Luke: Like you got a board right up the back of your shirt. Hang on a second.
Skye: Hi. Sorry I'm late.
Luke: What happened to your costume?
Skye: Oh, hey, I know you had your heart set on a stark naked Lady Godiva, but you're just going to have to deal with the disappointment, okay?
Luke: Well, stark naked would have been better, but this is pretty amazing.
Skye: Oh. Well, I'm glad you approve. You. My gosh, you're perfect. I swear, if I didn't know better, I'd think that this was Nikolas standing in front of me.
Luke: Well, hold on to your kudos. Introduce yourself.
Connor: Hello. I'm Nikolas Cassadine.
Luke: No, no, no, no!
Connor: Oh, wait, what? You just told me to introduce myself! What do you want me to do?
Luke: Well, again here, you're too casual. You're too friendly. You're too human. See, this guy grew up believing that he was so much better than all these little people.
Emily: Nikolas isn't like that, Luke.
Luke: Emily, we got one shot at this. Believe me, if Helena thinks that this guy is a fake, she'll disappear in a puff of sulfur, and Nikolas will rot in prison until you're dead -- from a very well-planned tragic accident. Now, can I be any clearer here, people?
Dillon: I just want to remind you, Mom, that you did promise to keep that secret about Connor being in prison and Nikolas being here tonight with emily, okay?
Tracy: Shh. Your secret is safe with me, darling. Go enjoy yourself.
Lucky whistles.
Lucky: Wow. You look incredible. Now, how am I supposed to concentrate on searching for helena when I cannot take my eyes off of you?
Elizabeth: Hmm. Well, how about in between searching we can dance?
Lucky: You're on.
Luke: So pay close attention to any woman with her face completely covered. Hi. Come on in. Helena could be wearing anything, but remember, she's terminally vain, so it'll probably be something spectacular.
Dillon: Where do you want us in the room?
Luke: Well, spread out, and you two come in last after the rest of us are in position.
Skye: Then what?
Luke: And then we watch the room carefully. When Emily and "Nikolas" enter, if Helena's there, she's going to show her hand.
Lucky: You see anybody who might be Helena?
Elizabeth: No, not yet.
Lucky: I know my dad means well, but this is such a long shot.
Elizabeth: It's worth a try.
Lucky: Unless we're getting Emily's hopes up by dragging Connor Bishop back in her life for no reason.
Elizabeth: Hey, you know what? Your dad thinks that Helena survived that fall off the cliff, and I trust his instincts.
Lucky: I do, too.
Lucky: We better make this look convincing.
Elizabeth: You got any ideas?
Lucky: You know what? Let's drift in this direction. I see someone.
Elizabeth: I see her, too. Walk me over there.
Lucky: Well, it was worth a try.
Elizabeth: I know it wasn't going to be that easy. We'll just keep looking.
Luke: Any luck?
Skye: Well, I've managed to bump into exactly three fully masked unidentifiable guests and I'm willing to bet that none of them are Helena.
Luke: She'll show.
Skye: There's no guarantee.
Luke: No, there isn't. We don't even know if she's in the country, but my money's on her being here and tipping her hand the minute her fake grandson sets foot in the place. If I'm wrong and she doesn't show, at least this is a good place to start looking for her.
Alexis: Oh, my God.
Ric: Who's that with Emily? It almost looks like Nikolas.
Alexis: Well, it can't be Nikolas because Nikolas is in prison.
Skye: Talk about an entrance.
Luke: Yeah, but it seemed to work. Check out the woman at the bar.
Skye: You're right! That must be Helena.
Elizabeth: Hey, look.
Alexis: What's going on?
Emily: Hey. This is Connor Bishop. He's impersonating Nikolas.
Ric: I'm not hearing this.
Alexis: Why?
Emily: We think that Helena may still be alive. If she believes Nikolas is out of prison, then it could bring her out of hiding.
Alexis: You need to let me handle this, emily, because I'm working on an appeal.
Emily: Which may or may not work, Alexis. If we can prove that Helena's still alive, then Nikolas will go free and all the charges will be dropped.
Alexis: Too dangerous.
Emily: Alexis, please, I'm trying to help Nikolas. Just play along, okay?
Alexis: Okay. It's nice to see you, Nikolas.
Connor: You, too, Alexis. Thank you.
Alexis: Hi.
Ric: Hi.
Alexis: That made me think of Nikolas. Really, I feel sorry for him, and here I am having a good time.
Ric: Would he want you to feel guilty?
Alexis: No. He would say it was high time I started to have some fun.
Ric: He would be right.
Alexis: I'm actually happy. I'm really, really happy, which is not a word that I would use to describe myself.
Ric: Mm-hmm. Well, you have a lot to be happy about.
Alexis: I do.
Ric: Mm-hmm.
Alexis: I have my daughter. I have a very rewarding career.
Ric: Mm-hmm.
Alexis: And I have you.
Ric: No?
Lucky: Now, listen to me. Helena's here. I saw her when you made your entrance.
Emily: So, where is she?
Lucky: She's over there near the bar.
Connor: So what do we do now?
Emily: We give helena a chance to follow us. So, go back to dancing so she doesn't get suspicious.
Lucky: Okay.
Elizabeth: Okay. Good luck.
Luke: It's showtime.
Luke: Gotcha.
Announcer: To bring in happy times ahead.
Luke: Got you back into my arms, my darling.
Announcer: 10, nine, eight, seven, six --
Luke: Oh.
All: Five, four, three, two, one -- happy new year!
