Emily spends time with both Sonny and Nikolas. The men talk amongst themselves about looking after Emily if they are too die. After Tony Jones passes on, Emily learns that there is a does of serum left but she must decide if whether it will go to Nikolas or Sonny.
The following transcript is from the Nikolas, Emily and Sonny scenes that pertain to NikE:
Nikolas: Em --
Emily: Listen, try to rest, okay? You're going to be okay. Is that Tony?
Monica: Yeah, it's not good.
Patrick: You hear about our worst case yet?
Robin: Tony Jones.
Patrick: Yeah, so now might be a good time for you to bail.
Robin: No.
Patrick: Robin, you are the most at-risk. This virus could fatally compromise your immune system.
Robin: Patrick, I've lived with H.I.V. for years. It hasn't stopped me in the past and it's not going to stop me now.
Patrick: You know, I don't know whether to believe you're very brave or very foolish.
Robin: Well, either way, I'm in for the duration.
Sonny: You realize we might not make it through this.
Nikolas: I can if you can.
Sonny: It's not a competition between us. You just, you know, forget about me. You focus on yourself, make yourself a better person.
Nikolas: If I weren't sick right now, Sonny, I'd laugh in your face.
Sonny: I'm talking about Emily. If you get through this and I don't, you take care of her.
Nikolas: That's fine. But if you're looking for me to hold you to the same promise, forget it, because Emily’s better off alone than she is with you.
Sonny: You think I don't know that? I'm poison. Just ask anybody.
Nikolas: Hey. Lulu: Hey.
Nikolas: I can tell by looking you feel better. Lulu: Yeah, it's because of this cure they made from dad's blood.
Nikolas: Well, wonders never cease. Luke's good for something after all. Lulu: Hey. Don't be so nasty. You might find yourself in a position of being grateful to him. I think you could get the next dose.
Sonny: You should convince someone to give Nikolas a dose of Luke’s hotshot serum.
Emily: Yeah, well, that's not my call to make. But if you want my opinion, this whole process stinks.
Sonny: What are you talking about, Emily?
Emily: What, it's unfair. Take you and Nikolas, for example. You're both equal candidates except --
Sonny: Except what? Our moral records carry more weight than our medical ones? Well, in that case, Nikolas takes the lead.
Emily: Yeah. My father actually advocated deliberately holding back the serum from you because of what you do, which has nothing to do with who you are.
Sonny: Maybe that's my sins coming back on me. Maybe I don't deserve to be saved.
Emily: Your life is just as valuable and important as anyone else's, Sonny, and what makes a man moral anyway? I say it's how he loves his children, how he treats his friends.
Sonny: I should get a pen because I feel like I should be writing this down.
Emily: I'm not saying that the doctors don't have tough choices. I certainly wouldn't want to be put in their position, but it doesn't give them the right to bring their own personal moral judgments to the table.
Sonny: Let's not kid anybody. I'm not an innocent man, Emily. Everything people say about me -- some of those things are true.
Emily: I'm not naive. Last year took care of that. All right, I looked evil in the face. I know what it looks like. It's not you.
Elizabeth: I'll see if I can get you some fresh sheets, okay?
Nikolas: What'd they just test me for?
Elizabeth: I'm going to check on that.
Nurse: Elizabeth, incoming.
Patrick: I don't know if you've heard. Dr. Jones didn't make it.
Emily: Oh, no. Oh, God. Bobbie and Lucas?
Patrick: They were there. Your folks were there, too. Apparently, Dr. Jones knew it was happening and he spent the last few minutes saying goodbye.
Emily: That must've helped, or -- or I'm sure it will when they get some distance.
Patrick: Thing is, this death opens up the possibility for someone else. Dr. Jones died before we could give him this, which means I have --
Emily: You're put in the position of having to decide whose life gets saved.
Patrick: I was hoping you could help me with this.
Emily: Me? Why would I have anything to say about it?
Patrick: Because the choices have come down between Sonny and Nikolas.
Patrick: The tests indicate that both Nikolas and Sonny are equally gravely ill. There's not enough serum for both of them. I don't know them, you do. It's only fitting that you make the choice.
Emily: Patrick, I've been involved with them. I -- I love them both. You can't put this decision on me.
Patrick: But I am, Emily. Make a choice. Who do I save?
Emily: Oh, God.
Patrick: Look, I could turn the decision back over to Robert Scorpio, or could call a meeting with the council and go with popular consensus.
Emily: No, uh-uh.
Patrick: Then you do have a preference?
Emily: Patrick, I want them both to live.
Patrick: Emily, that's not an option.
Emily: I'm sorry, I can't make that choice.
Patrick: Well, then we'll turn it over to fate. Heads, Nikolas, tails, Sonny.
