Mary: Something just changed. You want to tell me what?
'Connor': I'm sorry. Just try and understand, please.
Mary: I'm trying, Connor. But a minute ago, we were making love, and now you can't get far enough away.
'Connor': It's not about you. I love you.
Mary: But?
'Connor': I just -- I just need some time to think, okay? I won't be long, I promise.
Emily is watching Skye on trial for the murder of Ross Duncan.
Emily: After what you just heard, you have to believe Skye is telling the truth.
Lucky: Emily, denials from a desperate woman don't carry a lot of weight with me.
Alexis: I understand that you have mixed feelings, Lucky.
Lucky: Alexis, they're not mixed.
Alexis: I need you to reconsider. You may be the only person that can help at this point. I need you to take the stand in Skye’s defense.
Lucky: And what would you expect me to say?
Alexis: I want you to say that the note that Luke wrote is too convenient. I want you to say the fact Luke isn't here is suspicious, and I want you to admit that Ric’s theory is patently absurd.
Lucky: Forget it.
Emily sighs.
Emily: Will you give us a minute?
Alexis: Sure.
Emily: Okay. All right, listen to me. I realize that you're carrying around a lot of loss right now, and I know how angry and helpless that makes you feel, but standing by silent while Skye gets framed for murder won't help. It won't make your mother well or find your father or bring Nikolas back. I think you know this in your heart. All Skye is guilty of is loving your father. And if Luke were here, he would want you to help her.
Lucky: Emily, okay, what -- what do you want me to do? Do you want me to lie under oath? I think Skye is guilty, okay? And I'm sorry if that doesn't sit well with you.
Emily: You know what? It doesn't. You're refusing to be the cop you are and look at the situation rationally. You're ready to throw Skye’s life away because you're too angry and stubborn to see the truth! You know, fine. I can't stop it, but I’m damn sure not going to hang around and watch.
'Connor': What are you doing here?
Emily: Walking through the park?
'Connor': Unless you're following me.
Emily: I'm sorry?
'Connor': Look, Emily, we made love one night, okay? It was a mistake that will never happen again. I'm sorry if you're lonely, but like I said, I can't fill the space that Nikolas left, and, frankly, I don't want to, anyway, so if you'll just leave me in peace with the woman who loves me, then --
Emily hauls off and decks 'Connor'!
Emily: Congratulations. I see you've recovered a few pieces of your former personality. Too bad arrogance is so unattractive.
'Connor': Emily, I’m sorry --
Emily: You know, you can believe what you want, but I wasn't following you. In fact, I haven't pursued you at all. If you can remember back that far, all I wanted from you that night you regret so much was a dance. You're the married man who made it more, and for the record, you weren't thinking about your perfect little wife while making love to me, so save the self-righteous act. It doesn't fly here.
Lorenzo: Hey, you made it.
'Connor': I'm ready to come back to work. I'm starting to go crazy again sitting in the house day in, day out.
Lorenzo: I assumed you'd want to stay close to Mary.
'Connor': Yeah, well, I just -- I think it's better for the both of us if --
Lorenzo: Look, I don't want you distracted when you come back to work, all right?
'Connor': No, I'm not going to --
Lorenzo: The first mistake you make could very well be your last.
Emily meets back up with Alexis in the lobby of the courtroom.
Alexis: We'll see.
Emily: Where is everybody?
Alexis: I was wondering what happened to you.
Emily: Yeah, I didn't want to watch Lucky bury Skye with his testimony.
Alexis: That's not what happened at all. He came through for Skye, and if she avoids a conviction, she has him to thank for it.
Emily: Oh, God, I’m glad he found it in his heart to help.
Alexis: Maybe we should return the favor.
Emily: What do you mean?
Alexis: Lucky is more upset about Nikolas than he has let on. Maybe you should tell him that his brother's alive.
'Connor': No, stay down.
Footsteps running away
'Connor': It's clear, it's all right.
Sirens
'Connor': Got to be kidding me.
Lorenzo: Give me my gun. Well, that was impressive. You saved my life.
'Connor': I'll take a few answers in return. Who the hell's shooting at you?
Lorenzo: Look, I'm in a volatile position with a number of people right now.
'Connor': I just need to know who's shooting at you, okay, therefore at me. Is it Corinthos?
Sirens stop
Lorenzo: You better get out of here, unless you want to be interrogated by the police. Thanks.
Mac: What happened?
Lorenzo: Well, someone tried to kill me.
Mac: Check it out. Let me guess who you're going to blame.
Mary: Hi. I'm -- I’m glad you're home.
'Connor': What's all this?
Mary: I thought we could spend some quiet time, start planning that future we keep talking about. I mean, if you want. But there's no pressure or anything. The point is for you and I to spend some time alone.
Mary: Why -- why are you wearing a gun?
Emily: There you are. I've been looking for you. Hey. Are you all right?
Lucky: Yeah, I'm just standing here staring out at Wyndemere. You know, just thinking about --
Emily: Hey, it's okay. I know. Um -- there's something I need to tell you, Lucky. It's important.
'Connor': I met Lorenzo on the docks to try and start working again, and someone shot at us.
Mary: How dangerous does this job have to get before you stop working for him?
'Connor': I'm comfortable with him, Mary. The way he thinks makes sense to me, like -- like we're from the same background -- which, of course, we're not. He's an international businessman, and I’m just a simple soldier, right?
Mary: No, you're a good and honorable man.
'Connor': Hmm? Then why can't I shake this feeling that my life doesn't fit, hmm? That -- that I’ve been places that the past you told me about doesn't account for? What -- what is the secret, Mary? What is it? What don't you want me to remember? Just tell me what it is!
Mary: Connor, you have it all wrong.
'Connor': Then what's the truth? Tell me what the truth is! Stop protecting me! Not knowing -- it's eating me alive, Mary! If you love me, just be honest with me! Who the hell was I?
Emily: It's about Nikolas.
Lucky: Emily, please don't talk about Nikolas. I just -- I don't want to dwell on the past. I'm sorry. That was rude. You know, if there's anything you ever want to say about Nikolas, I want to hear it.
Emily: Yeah, Nikolas would've been proud of you today. I heard what you did for Skye. Thank you.
Lucky: Well, you called it. I was just taking my pain out on Skye when I should've been professional.
Emily: Well, what matters is you did the right thing today.
