Emily: I've always dreamed of marrying you.
Nikolas: Now you have.
Emily: I meant every promise that I made tonight, Nikolas.
Nikolas: So did I. We're married now in our hearts. Nothing can ever separate us now.
Noise.
Emily: Somebody there?
Lucky: So your brother, he worked at the Port Charles Hotel?
Enid: For the last six months. Wally and I don't talk every day, but he always called to check in with me on Sundays. He's missed the last two.
Lucky: What department does he work in?
Enid: Utilities. I'm afraid he might've died in the fire.
Lucky: That's impossible. All the bodies have been identified.
Nikolas: There's nobody here.
Emily: Yeah, I could've sworn I heard somebody.
Nikolas: Well, maybe you're just being paranoid knowing Helena was on the warpath earlier.
Emily: Yeah, I guess I was so lost in our vows that I completely forgot about your grandmother. But now that you mention it --
Nikolas: We can't go jumping into shadows, you know? I mean, the worst part is over. We need to focus on being happy now.
Emily: Yes.
Nikolas: Come here.
Emily: You know, when I was a kid with a massive crush on you, I used to imagine us being together like this. I just never dreamed that it would actually happen.
Nikolas: I've seen some of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. This -- this is better.
Emily: Yeah. You can almost feel the love that's been shared here. Babies being blessed and people finding comfort in times of crisis, people pledging themselves to each other.
Nikolas: Mm-hmm. Now we're one of those couples.
Emily: Yep. "For better or for worse." I'm so glad we officially said those words.
Nikolas: You're my wife, promised before God. I mean, you know, the legal details -- we'll work those out later, but --
Emily: Yeah. Speaking of legal details, are you worried about Helena?
Nikolas: No. I'm not worried, really, but I should probably speak to my bankers and make sure she can't reclaim any of the money from the sale of the treasure.
Emily: Hmm, banking -- that sounds fun.
Nikolas: Hey, I’m not going to suffer on my own. You have to help.
Emily: What?
Nikolas: You have to go to your family and tell them that they will get a share of the treasure after all but that most of the money goes to the families of the fire victims.
Emily: Okay, okay --
Nikolas: You have to do that.
Emily: All right, all right. Let's go, let's go.
Emily giggles.
Keys jingle.
Lucky: You and your brother, are you close?
Enid: Yes. But I live all the way in Pine Valley. We talk more than we see each other.
Lucky: Is there any reason to believe that your brother might've been in some kind of trouble?
Enid: Wally doesn't gamble. He doesn't do drugs.
Lucky: You said that he called you every Sunday?
Enid: Right after "Alias" -- our favorite show.
Lucky: There's fresh milk in the fridge, and coffeepot's still warm. Couldn't have shut off too long ago. There's no timer on it.
Enid: What are you saying, officer?
Lucky: Everything indicates that your brother's still living here, but I will file a missing person's report.
Enid: So you believe me?
Lucky: Something about it just doesn't feel right.
Tracy: My, you're feeling dramatic tonight.
Skye: I was speaking to Ned.
Ned: I've been dealing with grandfather a hell of a lot longer than you have. I know what's important to him.
Skye: Well, at least you admit you betrayed Edward; that you helped Tracy to have Edward committed.
Monica: Look, Edward is in Shadybrook because he was trying to protect the family from a lawsuit. Now that we know he's not negligent, he can be released.
Tracy: Uh-uh. It's too soon. Until we're absolutely sure that we're in the clear, he needs to stay put.
Skye: Tracy, why do you even care about E.L.Q., anyway? It's in ruins.
Emily: I don't know what you're fighting about, but you can stop. I have good news.
Monica: Oh? What's that?
Emily: Helena managed to recover Blackthorn's treasure.
Tracy: Oh -- I knew it! She was behind the theft all along!
Emily: The treasure was sold in Europe for $25 million, and Nikolas has agreed to transfer 1/4 of that money into our accounts as soon as possible.
Tracy: That's only 6 million and change.
Alan: We agreed to a 50/50 split.
Emily: Half of the money is going into a trust for the fire victims, and we're going to split the other half with the Cassadines.
Skye: Well, that sounds fair.
Ned: Emily, have you thought this through?
Tracy: Oh -- what does she care if we get cheated? As soon as she marries Nikolas, she gets another 6 mill.
Monica: Emily doesn't care about the money.
Emily: The fact is only a small portion of the treasure ever belonged to Constance, but Nikolas wanted to be fair, so we're getting way more money than we deserve.
Tracy: Well, nice try, but it's too late for Nikolas to change the rules.
Skye: Look, can we please forget about this treasure? We have to concentrate on getting Edward out of Shadybrook.
Emily: What, grandfather's in a mental hospital?
Monica: It's a long story.
Alan: Yes, Tracy thought it was for the best.
Emily: Yeah, well, I don’t. Nikolas won't transfer a dime of that money until grandfather is released.
Edward: Thank you, dear Emily. It's nice to know that someone still cares about me.
Luke: Evening, Quartermaines. Tracy. Well, I promised to bring the old boy out of the bubble house. Here he is, free and angry as hell.
Edward: Now that my name has been cleared, I plan to take my place at the head of the family.
Tracy: It's not that simple, Daddy.
Alan: Of course it is.
Monica: All this arguing is not good for Edward’s health. He's just had major surgery.
Luke: All right, Quartermaines, listen up. The argument about who's going to run E.L.Q. Is closed. Skye's taking over.
Emily gasps.
Emily: Oh --
Nikolas: I -- I didn't want to interrupt you while you were praying. Why did you want me to come back here
Emily: Sometimes I just want to scream at my family for being so petty and awful to each other.
Nikolas: They love each other in their own way.
Emily: Yeah, I know, and I love them, too, even though I don't want to end up like them.
Nikolas: That's why we're going to build a family of our own.
Emily: That is the only family I want.
Nikolas: It's already yours.
Zander walks to the top of the cottage steps and looks in. He opens the door and flashes back to...
Emily's Voice: We must be insane, Zander. Do you realize how late it is?
Zander: Well, we might as well be a little nuts. We're newlyweds.
Emily: Mm-hmm.
Zander: Just came back from a romantic, moonlit walk in the woods behind our very first home.
Emily: Rented home.
Zander: For now. One day when I start making a little more money, we'll buy this place.
Emily: Yeah?
Zander: Build a gazebo out back where we can sit out under the stars. You like gazebos, right?
Emily: What woman doesn't?
Zander: That's what I thought. I can see you out there, writing in your journal. See you in one of those beautiful, long, flowy, summer dresses that you like, looking amazing.
Emily: Yeah, I like it.
Zander: Hmm.
