Nikolas: Damn it, I thought this nightmare was over.
Emily: Yeah, I could've sworn that we were alone on the bluffs with Helena. Do you think one of the servants saw you push her?
Nikolas: No, I think it's worse than that. Helena wrote this note. I'm telling you, somehow she survived that fall.
Emily: You're jumping to a conclusion.
Nikolas: Well, yeah, the obvious one.
Emily: Not necessarily. Just because we haven't found Helena’s body doesn't mean that she isn't dead. Nikolas, you said it yourself, Helena fell from the same bluff as Stefan, and the fall killed him. It makes sense that it killed Helena, too.
Nikolas: Yeah, in a perfect world, Emily, one where you and I haven't lived for very long.
Emily: She was washed away by that current, Nikolas, I'm sure of it.
Nikolas: Then who wrote the note, hmm? The gardener, the launch pilot? Some trespasser who --
Emily: Look, it doesn't matter. No one can blackmail us because we aren't hiding anything. Helena came after me with a knife. She meant to kill me. You stopped her and, in the struggle, she fell from the bluff. We told everything to the police. End of story.
Nikolas: Right, except for the part where she fell, Emily. I pushed her. Someone wants me to pay for that.
Kristina has a form of childhood leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. People are being tested left, right and centre..
Steven: Alexis, it's not uncommon for both parents to be incompatible as marrow donors. That's why the donor registry exists.
Alexis: We need to call her other relatives.
Steven: Sure, anyone who's biologically related.
Alexis: I have a nephew. His name's Nikolas.
Nikolas: Look, suppose this unknown witness or whatever had a camera and took pictures of me pushing Helena off the cliff.
Emily: Why do you keep going to the worst-case scenario?
Nikolas: Well, what do you think the note was about, Emily?
Emily: Someone is playing mind games, Nikolas, trying to make us act and feel guilty.
Nikolas: Okay, then who would do that other than Helena? Hey, any news?
Lucky: No, not yet. We're dredging for Helena’s body on the shoreline, but the forensics people agree there's no way that she could've survived that fall.
Phone rings.
Nikolas: Hello?
Alexis: It's Alexis. I need you to come over to the hospital right away.
Nikolas: Are you all right?
Alexis: It's Kristina. My little girl is really sick. She has this thing called rylodysplastic anemia and she needs a bone marrow transplant, and I'm not a match.
Nikolas: All right, I’ll be there right away, okay?
Alexis: Thank you. I thought you left.
The scene continues on with Sonny, Lorenzo and John Durant.
Steven: Kristina has a condition called rylodysplastic anemia.
Nikolas: Alexis already explained. She needs a bone marrow transplant.
Steven: Yeah.
Alexis: Nikolas has already done this before for his little sister, and that worked out really well, didn't it?
Nikolas: Right, yeah, it's as if Lesley Lu were never sick, and hopefully the same thing will happen with Kristina.
Steven: Well, that's excellent. The first thing we have to do is have you take a test to see if you're a compatible donor, so I’ll take you to the lab.
Nikolas: Okay. I'll be right there. Try not to worry, okay?
Alexis: Thank you for doing this.
Nikolas: Okay.
Carly: Alexis.
Alexis: I thought you left.
Carly: I went home. I had to take Morgan back. But listen, really, I need to speak to you alone.
Alexis: I am not going to tell Sonny that he is Kristina’s father until there are no other options. Right now, I still have hope and I think she's going to be fine.
Lucky: Emily! Emily?
Emily: Hey.
Lucky: Hey, I’ve got good news. Is Nikolas back?
Emily: No, he's not back yet. Have you found Helena’s body?
Lucky: No, no, no, we found articles of clothing stained with blood. The forensics team, they're going to send them to the lab for analysis, but I’m pretty sure that it's Helena’s blood. I think that she died on those rocks, just like Stefan did, and I think the water took her out.
Emily: No, I agree. There's no chance that Helena could've survived.
Lucky: Yeah.
Emily: But this isn't going to be over for Nikolas until he's seen that body.
Lucky: Yeah. You know, we're going to keep looking.
Emily: Okay, thanks for your help.
Lucky: You know, I'm happy that she's dead. All the years of pain and misery she inflicted on all of us are finally over. Most of all, I’m just glad you're safe.
Luke: Take it easy, Emily. It's me, Luke. I'm not going to hurt you. I'll take my hand away if you promise not to scream. Okay?
Emily: You scared me half to death, Luke.
Luke: I'm sorry, but I couldn't take a chance that you would scream and bring my son, Serpico, back. Did I hear right? Helena's faked her own death?
Emily: No, she didn't fake anything. She tried to slit my throat.
Luke: That's one of her favorite methods, very effective.
Emily: Well, Nikolas saved me. There was a struggle and she fell from the bluff.
Luke: And now her body is conveniently missing?
Emily: The water's higher now than it was the night Stefan went over and the rocks were partially submerged. There's no way that she staged this, Luke. There's no chance she survived.
Luke: Oh, I wouldn't be so sure, my dear. It's been my experience it's pretty hard to kill that old bitch.
Emily: Hey, you know, you really shouldn't be here. Lucky's going to be back any second. Can I help you with something?
Luke: Yeah, you could look the other way while I rip the joint off.
Emily: You're trying to clear Skye of Detective Duncan’s murder?
Luke: Very astute.
Emily: Well, you know, you can take whatever you want. There's really not a whole lot left. You know, all the antiques of value were sold months ago and we don't really keep a whole lot of cash on hand. If you want to hang out in the passageway, Nikolas should be back soon. I'm sure he can get some money out of the Cassadine accounts.
Luke: No, thank you very much, thank you, but ripping the Cassadines off is one thing; accepting their charity is something else. That gives me hives.
Emily: Nikolas isn't like the rest of the Cassadines.
Luke: Yeah, I know, Nikolas is different. I know, I know. But thanks anyway, Emily. And sorry to have scared you. Bye.
Alexis: How long will it take to get the test results?
Nikolas: I'm not a match.
Alexis: They did it so fast.
Nikolas: I know, but apparently, they can tell right away. I mean, I'm not even close. I'm sorry. I thought for sure I’d be able to help Kristina. I'm sorry.
Alexis: So did I. So did I.
Nikolas: Well, you said Ned’s already been tested, right? What about the rest of the Quartermaines?
Alexis: I -- I hadn't thought that far.
Nikolas: Well, hopefully one of them is a match, or one could turn up from the donor registry.
Alexis: They're going to find somebody. I know they are.
Nikolas: I know.
Alexis: She's going to be fine.
Nikolas: Well, if it helps at all, Helena’s dead.
Alexis: What?
Nikolas: She attacked Emily out on the bluffs. I tried to get Emily away from her, there was a struggle --
Alexis: Was she hurt?
Nikolas: No, no, she's fine. But anyway, Helena fell backwards over the cliff. They haven't found her body yet, but there's no way she could've survived that.
Alexis: I don't care. I don't feel anything at all. I'm just focused on Kristina.
Nikolas: I know. Helena doesn't matter. She's gone, and we're all better for it.
Alexis: Go home. It's okay. Thank you.
Nikolas: Okay. Okay.
The scene continues on with Ned, Alexis, Lois and Brook Lynn with Kristina.
Nikolas: Emily. Emily. Emily! Em--
Emily: Nikolas. What's the matter?
Nikolas: I'm sorry. I saw you on the floor and I thought -- I’m sorry. I've been doing a lot of it lately. I'm sorry.
Emily: No, I was reading up on Kristina’s illness. I must have dozed off.
Phone rings.
Emily: Hey, answer that. I think it might be Lucky about Helena or Alexis.
Nikolas: Okay.
Ring.
Nikolas: Hello? Hello? Who is this? Who -- who is this? I can hear you.
Man: You're going to feel like I feel, grieve like I grieve.
