Lucky: Nikolas, hey, I got your message. How's Emily?
Emily: I'm fine. In fact, I’ve never felt better in my life.
Nikolas: So, yeah, we shared a kiss on a moonless night in the Garden of Aphrodite, and there you go.
Emily: And Helena’s curse was broken. Or maybe my faith was restored. Either way, I feel better than I have in weeks, you know, happier, healthier.
Nikolas: Yeah. We're going to get married as soon as we can.
Lucky: Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, you know, but we're still going to have to deal with Helena. You know she'll do anything to steal you away from Nikolas.
Tracy: My dear, your curse or whatever it is you really did to Emily to make her sick? Well, it's not working anymore. She and Nikolas are back, and they are more determined than ever to get married. So if Emily really wants to be part of your demented family -- hello? Helena?
Nikolas: Nothing -- nothing that she can do will stop us.
Lucky: Yeah, but Helena always finds a way.
Emily: We can't live in fear.
Lucky: Of course not. You know what? You're going to go along with this wedding as planned, and if Helena even if looks at you sideways, she's going to have to deal with me.
Ric: Nikolas, there's something you need to know. It involves your family.
Emily: I'm so glad Kristina’s okay.
Nikolas: Yeah, I'm sorry that we weren't able to support you through this.
Alexis: You know, Ric was here. Quite a bit, actually. He was very helpful.
Emily: Ric? Really?
Alexis: No one's more surprised than I am, but he really was helpful. He helped me keep my sanity.
Nikolas: Well, you and Kristina must have had a positive influence on him.
Alexis: You look a lot stronger.
Nikolas: Yeah, well, we broke the curse.
Emily: I never thought I'd believe in an ancient myth, but --
Alexis: You believe in love, like my mother and father did. But that doesn't mean that Helena’s going to back off.
Emily: Oh, we'll make her, Alexis. As of now, Helena has no power over me or Nikolas.
Alexis: You need to be careful, because she does not like to be thwarted.
Nikolas: It's all right. I know what Helena did to your mother. But Emily and I won't allow history to repeat itself.
Alexis: You may not be able to control it. You know she killed my mother. You should know that she's going to try to kill Emily, too.
Alexis: Look, no one deserves to be happy more than the two of you.
Emily: And we're going to stay that way.
Alexis: But I don't want you to underestimate Helena. I have made that mistake more than once.
Nikolas: We refuse to live in the past, Alexis.
Alexis: I just want you to learn from it. My mother thought she was secure, and Helena slipped in in the middle of the night and slit her throat and had absolutely no remorse. She watched her bleed to death while she was smiling. I couldn't bear it if the same thing happened to Emily, and I know that if Helena thinks that she's losing she will stop at nothing.
Courtney: Alexis, look, I'm really sorry to bother you here, but Bobbie said that Kristina was doing better and --
Nikolas: It's still not really a good time.
Alexis: It's okay. What's wrong?
Courtney: Look, the police have arrested Jax. They made him spend the night in jail. He wouldn't let me call you last night, but I thought since Kristina was doing better that maybe you could help.
Alexis: What charges did they bring him in on?
Courtney: They said that he was hiding Skye in his apartment.
Emily: Did he?
Courtney: He hasn't seen or heard from Skye since she escaped from the prison van.
Alexis: All right, she's sleeping. I think it's fine. I'm going to down and I'm going to try to get him released. Will you just stay here, though, in case something happens? You'll call me?
Nikolas: Yeah, sure, all right.
Alexis: Thanks.
Nikolas: Okay, Em, let's go.
Suzanne: Emily.
Emily: Hi, Suzanne. We were just going to go in and check on Nikolas' cousin.
Suzanne: Oh, I'm here to give her some medicine.
Nikolas: Wait. Could you watch her for a second? I want to just get her a surprise, if that's okay.
Suzanne: I'll be here.
Nikolas: Thanks.
Emily: Let's go.
Nikolas: Kristina collects some stuffed animals. I want to get her a new one.
Emily: Yeah, she'll be fine with Suzanne, but we should probably hurry back and keep her company.
Helena: Hello, my dear one. What a surprise to see Emily up and around.
Nikolas: I found the garden, thank you.
Emily: Which means you've lost again.
Helena: No, no, no, Emily. You have. Oh, you could have had a long life away from Nikolas or you could have died peacefully in his arms if that was more to your liking. You see, the curse would have gradually drained away your will to live. But you managed to overcome it -- although I’m sure Nikolas did all of the real work.
Nikolas: Why are you like this? I mean, what could create such hate in a person?
Emily: It doesn't matter, Nikolas. I'm not afraid of you anymore, Helena.
Helena: That is exactly how Alexis' mother felt until a knife was put to her throat.
Nikolas: Do you really think it's that easy to bait me?
Helena: The threat is real.
Nikolas: You're just trying to get me to lose control so I’ll attack you in public.
Helena: Now, why would I do that?
Nikolas: So I’ll be locked up the next time you go after Emily?
Helena: Nikolas, it won't matter where you are. I have to save you from your worst impulses. Emily will weaken you. No, she will sap your life force as surely as the curse sapped hers. No, she has to be removed for your sake.
Emily: I love Nikolas, Helena. You're the one who wants to see him unhappy.
Nikolas: Stay away from her.
Helena: I'll never be far from you.
Nikolas: Emily and I are getting married. And our children will never know anything about my father or you. No, you mean nothing to me, so why don't you just go ahead and leave Port Charles and never come back.
Helena: Not until Emily is taken care of, not even if I have to slit her throat just as I did Alexis' insipid mother's, and you can't stop me.
Nikolas: Did you get all that?
Lucky: Every word. That's very good, Helena. A murder threat and a confession in one speech.
Emily: Say good night, Helena.
Helena: This isn't over.
Lucky: Helena Cassadine, you're under arrest for the murder of -- what's Alexis' mother's name?
Nikolas: Oh -- Kristin Bergman, yes.
Lucky: Right.
Helena: Kristin Nilsson. No, Bergman was a stage name. Mikkos was so gratified with her expertise in bed that he bought her a career in opera. But she was never anything more than a little peasant, a lucky little governess who caught the eye of the master of the house. Well, if you insist on pressing charges, at least get the name straight.
Lucky: No problem. Helena Cassadine, you're under arrest for the murder of Kristin Bergman, a.k.a. Kristin Nilsson, and for conspiracy to commit murder. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Lucky: Death threat, admission of murder.
Helena: Oh, you have nothing of the kind. Officer Spencer is an overzealous buffoon, and if you don't let me out of here this instant, there will be hell to pay
Emily laughs.
Emily: Oh. I think she likes it.
Nikolas: Yeah, she has a whole collection of lambs and bunnies at home, so --
Emily: Kristina, mommy will be here real soon to take you home so you can introduce your new friend to your other toys.
Nikolas: Hey, baby, could you stay with her a little while? I want to go down to the station.
Emily: And you want to make sure Helena’s cell's shut tight?
Nikolas: Yeah. I'll be back soon, okay?
Emily: Okay. I think I'll take Kristina down to the chapel. All right, Kristina?
Nikolas: Okay.
Emily: We have a lot to be thankful for today.
Nikolas: I love you.
Emily: I love you.
Nikolas: Bye.
Emily: Bye.
Lucky: Hey, I’ve been trying to get ahold of you.
Nikolas: Oh. What's wrong?
Lucky: Well, we couldn't hold Helena. She's free.
Emily: You know, the angels took care of us this week, Kristina. Yes, they did. They helped both of us get better. And we're so blessed. You know that? And pretty soon we're going to have something else to celebrate. Nikolas and I are going to get married in front of everyone we love, and you're going to be there, too, in a beautiful dress, throwing rose petals down the aisle. And the priest is going to pronounce us man and wife and Nikolas and I will kiss and we'll all live happily ever after.
Kristina talks.
