Nikolas: Let me grab that. I got it. What have you got in here, bricks? Come on.
Emily: Yeah, Alice insisted. She had cook pack the ultimate gourmet picnic.
Nikolas: Ah. Wow, look at this. Your grandfather's going to freak when he realizes she gave this away.
Emily: Lucky and Elizabeth deserve the best of everything, huh? And I'd say this qualifies.
Nikolas: So I -- I confirmed their suite at Bristol Towers. Are you -- are you going to stay over or --
Emily: Oh, you know, it's their honeymoon. How much companionship is too much, huh?
Nikolas: Yeah, yeah, I know. I just -- I just thought, you know, they don't leave for Italy until the day after tomorrow. They have two weeks to wander Tuscany hand in hand. I just figured they might enjoy going out with friends until then.
Emily: Oh, well, then let's see something, yeah? How hard would it be to get four tickets to a broadway show or something, huh?
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: Oh. Courtney's coming, too, isn't she?
Nikolas: Listen, I haven't asked Courtney to come on the trip yet. But if it's a problem for you, then I just won't.
Emily: Nah! In a way, it'll be easier, yeah? There won't be any pressure on you and me to act like a couple, and Lucky and Elizabeth won't be tempted to try any matchmaking, and we can just celebrate their marriage as friends. Which was the whole idea.
Emily: Nikolas, it says "Do not disturb."
Nikolas: I know, but if they don't get out of bed soon, they're going to miss the train. Come on.
Emily: Something tells me they won't really care.
Nikolas: Shh, shh.
Emily: Okay.
Lucky: Go away!
Elizabeth: Who is it?
Nikolas (disguising his voice): Yes, ma'am, this is the hotel concierge. We've been having some complaints from the guests below that there's some strange noises going on in here, furniture moving, things like that.
Emily: Nikolas!
Nikolas: Stop! Ow!
Lucky: Very funny.
Nikolas: Listen, your breakfast is getting cold, all right? You need to pack. Train leaves at 6:00, got to be onboard no later than 5:30.
Elizabeth: Okay, okay, we promise we won't be late, all right?
Lucky: Yes, you know, we'd better get started. We have a lot to pack.
Elizabeth: That's right.
Nikolas: 5:30.
Elizabeth laughs.
Elizabeth: Okay, put me down!
Emily: They certainly sound happy, huh?
Nikolas: Yeah. No one deserves it more than they do.
Nikolas: Hey.
Courtney: Oh! What are you doing?
Nikolas: How would you like to go to Manhattan with me?
Courtney: When?
Nikolas: Tonight about 6:00, but we have to board by 5:30, okay?
Courtney: Board? Wait, on Lucky and Elizabeth's honeymoon train?
Nikolas: Yeah. There's more than enough room on the antique cars that I rented, and I got us all rooms at Bristol Towers.
Courtney: Oh, I'd love to, but I can't. I have too much to do here.
Nikolas: Come on, I'll take you to the opera.
Courtney: Really?
Nikolas: You'll either love it and cry, which will be a safe release of negative emotion, or you'll fall asleep. Either way, it's a perfect stress buster. Come on.
Courtney: Wow, you are making it really hard to say no.
Nikolas: It's three days in Manhattan. What's the harm? Come on.
Jax: You got to be kidding me.
Courtney: Oh, God.
Jax: Courtney's pregnant with my child. She's not going on some trip with you. Please tell me you're not considering this.
Emily: Alexis?
Alexis: Oh --
Emily: Here, no, no, no --
Alexis: I'll get it.
Emily: I'll get it. I got it.
Alexis: Thank you. Actually, bending isn't my best event these days. Some might say it never was.
Emily: You taking a trip?
Alexis: Actually, I'm fleeing to Manhattan. I'm sure you've heard. Everyone else has. My husband has slept with Reese Marshall, although I don't know why that should matter since I'm fairly certain that we were broken up at the time. But in any case, you know, he lied. Not that I never lied, it just gives a very persuasive argument to why there should be an immediate and permanent end to our marriage.
Emily: I'm sorry.
Alexis: It's okay. Sometimes a clean break is the way to go.
Emily: Yeah. If you need any help --
Alexis: No, I just -- if you could get this suitcase on the train for me, I would owe you forever.
Emily: Yeah, I can do better than that. Nikolas rented two private cars on the 6:00 to Manhattan. You can ride with us.
Alexis: Oh, I don't want to impose, really.
Emily: No, Alexis, you'd be doing me a favor. Nikolas is bringing Courtney, and having you along will make things a little less awkward.
Alexis: I adore my nephew, but he is an insensitive clod.
Emily: Yeah. I told him I was fine with it.
Alexis: Of course you did, because you didn't want to give him the satisfaction of wasting any of your tears on him. Emily, for the record, it is not right for any man to parade his new girlfriend in front of his old girlfriend, or his wife, or whatever the case may be. God, they're morons.
Nikolas: I'm sorry, we're having a private conversation here.
Courtney: Why are you even here?
Jax: Because I met with Dr. Meadows. I just found out I'm going to be a father, so I wanted to make sure that the baby was all right.
Courtney: Jax, the baby's fine, okay? I have been taking care of it and myself just like I have been all along.
Jax: I never -- I never meant to imply otherwise.
Courtney: Well, then why are you ordering me not to go on a trip with Nikolas?
Jax: Because he's part of the reason that our marriage broke up in the first place. I'm not just going to stand by and let him work you while you're carrying my child.
Courtney: Okay, Jax, you are not in charge of my life. All right? We're separated. Just because I'm pregnant with your baby doesn't make me your property. Ok, if I can -- I can go on this trip with Nikolas if I want to.
Jax: Are you sure it's safe for the baby?
Nikolas: She's not scaling Everest, Jax. It's a train trip.
Jax: You know, I've lived through one miscarriage. I don't want to chance it again. I doubt you do, either.
Emily and Courtney: Hi.
Nikolas: Hi.
Emily: We're having a little bit of a seating problem.
Nikolas: What are Ric and Reese doing here?
Emily: Oh, Elizabeth invited them. They're going to Manhattan and the train's overbooked and unfortunately, I had already invited Alexis, so things are going to be a little --
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: A little tense.
Nikolas: Hey, listen, perhaps I've overestimated the restfulness of this ride.
Courtney: Hmm.
Nikolas: But I promise once we get to Manhattan, nothing but calm, okay?
Courtney: Oh, well. At least you and Emily and I aren't glaring at each other.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Courtney: I mean, compared to Ric and Alexis, we've got a lock on tranquility.
Jax: Hey.
Courtney: Oh, boy.
Nikolas: Maybe not.
Jax: How are you? Good to see you.
Ric: Good to see you.
Jax: Courtney.
Nikolas: Come on.
Jax: Nikolas, how's it going?
Courtney giggles nervously.
Courtney: You weren't invited.
Jax: Oh, don't worry, I'm not riding along with you guys. No, I've had my own private car hitched up to the train.
Emily: Here's to your honeymoon.
Lucky: No, here's to a friend who made this all happen.
Elizabeth: Right.
Emily: No, Nikolas deserves most of the credit.
Elizabeth: Oh, stop being so polite. We know this wasn't easy for you to plan this with him, so thank you. Thank you for making our wedding a fairy tale come true.
Lucky: Yeah.
Courtney: Jax is out of control.
Nikolas: Listen, you just let him make a fool of himself, all right? Your job is to stay calm, relax, and enjoy yourself, all right?
Courtney: Thank you. Think you could help me with that?
Nikolas: Yeah. Watch me.
Alexis: If Nikolas wants to be with Courtney, then I should probably endorse that. I mean, you know, I'm not in a position to critique a relationship.
Jax: Oh, please, please. Critique away. I have infinite respect for your opinion.
Alexis: Okat, I'm really glad that you're the father of Courtney's baby and I hope that she picks you, and if that makes me a hypocrite, I don't care because I'm just too hormonal.
Emily: Hey. Is everything all right?
Sonny: I'm -- yeah. I'm going to go to -- I'm going to Roselawn to talk to Carly's doctors. They wanted to drug her and I told them not to.
Emily: Oh.
Sonny: But I don't know if that's just because -- that's what I want and not what's best for her. You get what I'm saying?
Emily: Mm-hmm.
Lucky: Hey, Em? Hey, I'm sorry, but can you take a picture for us right now?
Sonny: Go ahead, go ahead. I got till Sinclair Falls to decide what I'm going to do with Carly.
Emily: Okay. All right, you guys. Ready? Okay, one, two -- ah!
Elizabeth: Are you okay?
