Elizabeth tried to convince Emily that she and Nikolas belonged together. Emily continues to daydream about kissing Sonny. There's an incident at Kelly's while Emily divulges to Jason that she feels something for Sonny. Jason is aghast! Nikolas and Courtney were engrossed in the D.N.A. results; Nikolas is NOT the father!
The following transcript is from the Emily, Elizabeth and Jason scenes as they pertain to NikE:
Emily: Hey.
Elizabeth: Hi.
Emily: Did you find Lucky? But that's the reason you left Kelly’s in such a hurry earlier, isn't it?
Elizabeth: Oh, yeah. Well, I got called into work on my way over to see him, so I -- did you get a chance to talk to Nikolas?
Emily: All right, I knew it. Elizabeth, I know that you mean well, but this has got to stop, you know? Nikolas and I are divorced, and the papers are signed, and that's not going to change, no matter how many times you try and throw us together.
Elizabeth: Okay, look, married or not, the two of you are still connected. The type of love you guys share, it doesn't just disappear. And I think that, given enough time, the two of you will find your way back together, with or without my help. Okay, fine. I promise, from here on out, no more arranging meetings under false pretenses or finding excuses for the two of you to be alone, okay?
Emily: Okay, good, you know, because Nikolas has moved on with his life, and I'm trying to do the same. Actually, I took the first step today.
Elizabeth: Really? How?
Emily: Yeah.
Elizabeth: How's that?
Emily: I moved out of Sonny's house.
Elizabeth: You what?
Emily: What? Why do you seem so surprised?
Elizabeth: Well, I just thought you were helping Sonny with Michael and Morgan. Isn't Carly still at Roselawn?
Emily: No, Carly’s home for Christmas, you know, so the boys are going to be spending time with her, which means that, you know, I'm going to be free to kind of focus on myself.
Elizabeth: Well, good.
Emily: Yeah.
Elizabeth: Good, Em. It's about time.
Emily: Yeah, I'm just going to work, you know, and -- and study and, I don't know, you know, kind of the exciting life of a med student.
Elizabeth: I think you're protesting too much.
Emily: What does that mean?
Elizabeth: Well, generally, when someone mentions how ordinary and boring their life is, I don't know, usually it means the opposite.
Emily: I'm not talking about a crush, Jason.
Jason: Emily, I know Sonny's been good to you. He's respected you. But you're also dealing with a marriage that fell apart and all the reasons behind that.
Emily: Jason, you're making this about everything but my actual feelings for Sonny. Sonny and I found common ground. We're both hurt and alone, and we tend to cut ourselves off from other people, so we understand each other. Sonny needs me. Jason, that was never the case with Nikolas. My ex-husband was always the one doing the rescuing. He was always the strong one. And when I tried to rescue him, it destroyed us. Okay, but with Sonny it's different. As much as he's helped me, I've helped him, and it felt right.
Jason: Well, I'm not going to be a hypocrite, so here's the truth. Sonny will not change for you or any woman, which means if you're with him, you're going to have to look the other way when it comes to his business, because you have to pretend not to see the ugly things that are right in front of you.
Emily: I do that with you. Jason, we never talk about your work.
Jason: Except I'm your brother. It's not the same. I can't see any way you won't get hurt with Sonny. I'm asking you, just walk away from him.
