Noise.
Emily: Nikolas?
Nikolas: All right, give me a minute. I'll be right there. You know, we didn't even get married today, but it still feels like our wedding day. I'm sorry -- make that wedding night.
Nikolas: Maybe we should make this a ritual. Every time we see our families, we spend the next four hours in the tub. All right, champagne is ready. I hope that you are, too.
Nikolas: Okay.
Glass breaks.
Nikolas: Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.
Nikolas: Okay.
Nikolas: I need an ambulance out at Wyndemere right -- hurry! It's okay.
Steven, Jason and Elizabeth are arguing at the hospital when...
Jason: Why are you so interested in carly? What happened?
Nikolas: I don't know. I found her in the bathtub under the water. She wasn't breathing.
Steven: Take her to cubicle one.
Edward: You couldn't find a justice of the peace who would stay dead?
Tracy: Don't say that to her.
Edward: Of all the bush-league, small-time performances I've ever seen -- when he fell down, I thought I'd die laughing.
Tracy: So why didn't you help us find somebody better?
Edward: Why do you expect me to do everything?
Helena: I have listened to your senseless bickering as long as I'm going to.
Tracy: What would you rather hear, "double, double, toil and trouble"? Do you see us as the three witches?
Edward: Speak for yourself.
Helena: You know, that Scottish play is one of my favorite pieces of literature.
Edward: Why doesn't that surprise me?
Helena: You will treat Shakespeare's masterpiece and me with respect.
Tracy: You've gotten a little cranky since you placed that curse.
Helena: Oh, Lady Macbeth was always so terribly misunderstood.
Phone rings.
Helena: Yes?
Nikolas: Emily's in the emergency room. You get to General Hospital right now, or I'll have the police drag you in.
Jason: How long was Emily underwater?
Nikolas: Less than two minutes, Jason. I was in the next room.
Jason: Nikolas, what happened? Did she fall?
Nikolas: I didn't hear anything, and I tried to help her breathe. It didn't work.
Edward: What the hell have you done to my granddaughter?
Nikolas: Why don't you ask her? What did you do to her?
Helena: I don't know what you're talking about.
Nikolas: How is she?
Steven: Emily's in shock. Her blood pressure is dangerously low.
Tracy: What do you think happened to her?
Elizabeth: Did she faint?
Steven: Possibly.
Nikolas: Was she attacked?
Steven: No, I don't think so.
Jason: Is there any water in her lungs?
Steven: I don't think she aspirated any water. Her chest x-ray is clear.
Nikolas: Well, then, what happened?
Steven: We're going to know a whole lot more after we run the tox screen.
Jason: You think she was poisoned?
Steven: We can't rule it out.
Nikolas: What kind of poison? What was it?
Helena: Oh, honestly, Nikolas --
Nikolas: Tell me or I'll kill you right here, right now.
Jason: This won't help Emily.
Nikolas: She poisoned her. I know she did.
Elizabeth: Nikolas, you don't know that.
Helena: Nikolas, I did not, I swear.
Nikolas: If Emily dies, I will kill you.
Edward: Don't say "if." There is no "if." Emily will not die.
Jason: What'd you do to my sister?
Helena: Would you please tell your brain-damaged nephew I had nothing to do with this.
Tracy: Helena left Spoon Island with me. We've been together all evening.
Jason: Yeah? Why'd you come here separately?
Edward: We're not going to tell you how we spend every second.
Nikolas: Was Helena alone at any time?
Edward: She was with us when you called about Emily.
Jason: What were you guys doing together?
Edward: Trying to stop the wedding, if you really want to know. Because Emily's too good for him! He's brought her nothing but misery.
Jason: Edward, is there any way that Helena could have gotten to Emily? Could she have poisoned her?
Edward: I don't know.
Helena: Oh, now, there is a ringing, ringing endorsement of my innocence.
Nikolas: It had to be you. No one else would try and kill Emily.
Elizabeth: Emily's a fighter. She's going to get through this.
Nikolas: She better.
Nikolas walks into the cubicle and stands beside Emily's bed; she's unconscious.
Nikolas: Don't leave me. Please. Please, God, don't let her die.
Elizabeth: Make Helena tell what kind of poison she used. I don't care what you have to do. Just make her talk.
Helena: You need to teach your grandson some manners.
Edward: If you have anything to do with this, I'm --
Helena: I don't appreciate being stared at.
Edward: And he's going to do more than stare if he finds any proof that you poisoned Emily.
Helena: The curse is working. That's all I can say.
Edward: Oh, my God.
Tracy: I don't think Jason understands the concept of the curse.
Edward: I never wanted Emily to be involved with these maniacs. How could you join forces with this woman?
Tracy: You did the same thing.
Edward: To protect the family!
Tracy: That's always your excuse.
Edward: And yours is always greed.
Tracy: Do you think I joined forces with her by choice?
Edward: What'd you find out?
Elizabeth: Nikolas, Steven's back with the test results.
Steven: Okay, so, the tox screen came back negative, but the blood tests indicate an acute reaction with something in Emily's system. We need to run more tests.
Edward: How did he ever make it through medical school?
Tracy: Well, we should ask for a second opinion.
Jason: All right, wait five minutes, apologize to Helena, and tell her to meet you in the cafeteria.
Nikolas: She's my grandmother, Jason. I can handle her.
Elizabeth: Nikolas, there's no time. If Helena knows anything, jason can get it out of her, okay?
Steven: Found something. I found something -- a localized, indurated area near Emily's neck. It's actually the type of wound that could have been caused by a poisonous spider.
Steven: The antidote is working.
Edward: Thank God.
Steven: And Emily's breathing is less labored, and her blood pressure is stabilizing. She should be waking up any minute now.
Elizabeth: Oh, I knew she'd get through this.
Jason: You saved Morgan and Emily. Thank you.
Steven: I was just doing my job.
Edward: You ever pull another stunt like this, you'll wind up in a bed full of tarantulas.
Helena: Well, I had nothing to do with this. No, the curse has a life of its own.
Edward: The curse is nonsense, and you know it, and if you ever do anything like this, something like this again, I will --
Helena: You have had a difficult evening, as we all have. But for future reference, it's never wise to threaten a Cassadine.
Tracy: I don't think she's going to make it to the parking lot.
Edward: One can only hope. How did you get involved with that monster?
Tracy: You volunteered to join us.
Edward: I tried to stop a wedding, not kill the bride.
Tracy: Maybe we need to rethink our strategy.
Edward: One thing is for sure. We can never allow Emily to marry Nikolas, ever. The Cassadines will be the death of her, literally.
Nikolas: Hey. Welcome back.
Emily: Nikolas --
Nikolas: It's okay. You're in the hospital. You're okay.
Emily: What happened?
Nikolas: You remember anything?
Emily: I was in the tub, and you were in the next room with champagne, and --
Nikolas: You were -- you were bit by a spider. It almost killed you.
Emily: What? That's crazy.
Nikolas: I know. I'm telling you -- I'm telling you, it's this curse. It's real and it's getting stronger. We have to find a way to break it.
