Nikolas and Courtney spent some time chatting with Jax about the baby and Nikolas sensed Courtney pulling away from him.

The following transcript is from the Nikolas, Courtney, Emily and Lucky scenes as they pertain to NikE:

Elizabeth: This was so thoughtful.

Courtney: Well, Nikolas came up with it. Well, anyway, he said he wanted to do something nice, and I thought it would make Lucky's homecoming a little easier if everything were just right, so --

Lucky: Oh, honey, you ought to see the fridge. It's loaded with all kinds of food, and ready to eat.

Courtney: Well, I didn't want you to have to worry about meals so, yeah, now you don't have to cook.

Nikolas: That alone is going to make you get better faster.

Elizabeth: Hey, wait a second.

Nikolas: Do you remember how many dinners you burned up at Kelly’s?

Elizabeth: Do you remember when you didn't even know how to make toast?

Lucky: Yeah, well, Elizabeth always made the best brownies.

Elizabeth: Oh, thank you, honey. And Emily and I can make a pretty mean sandwich, as you recall.

Nikolas: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had to teach me how to make one.

Courtney: Really?

Lucky: Yeah, and when you messed that up, there was always Eli’s.

Elizabeth: And do you remember when we took you to the grocery store for the first time and Emily asked you to go get some rye bread and she found you just standing in the bread aisle, staring?

Nikolas: Who knew there were so many different kinds of bread?

Lucky: Just standing there in a trance.

Elizabeth: Emily and I laughed so hard, we almost got kicked out of the store.

Nikolas: You know what, guys? We got to get going.

Lucky: Oh, no, come on, at least finish your beer.

Elizabeth: Yeah, and the food.

Nikolas: We got plans for lunch. Sorry.

Lucky: All right.

Nikolas: I'm glad you're back.

Lucky: So am I. Hey, and thanks for all this.

Nikolas: No problem, no problem. My pleasure.

Elizabeth: Bye.

Nikolas: See you.

Elizabeth: Okay.

Courtney: Okay, bye.

Elizabeth: Goodbye.

Nikolas: I'll try to stop by tomorrow.

Elizabeth: Take care of that arm.

Nikolas: Yeah, we got enough to worry about.

Lucky: All right, we'll see you later.

Elizabeth: Thanks again.

Courtney: Okay, we don't have plans for lunch.

Nikolas: I know. I just- I didn't want that whole thing to be about Emily.

Courtney: Come on, don't worry about it.

Nikolas: Still, I apologize. There was no reason for you to sit there and have to listen to us talk about old times.

Courtney: Hey, you guys, the four of you, you're best friends. You always have been. There's nothing wrong with that.

Nikolas: Well, I don't think anybody meant to shut you out.

Courtney: I know. I know. Hey, you know, Lucky and Elizabeth, they're trying really hard. It just shows how much they love you.
