Emily: Oh.
Epiphany: Oh.
Emily: Uh -- thank you.
Epiphany: The last place this blood belongs is on my freshly mopped floor.
Emily: I know. I'm sorry. I don't know what has gotten into me today.
Epiphany: Girl, you have a lot on your mind. Your brother's verdict is due at any time.
Emily: Yeah, I know, but I shouldn't let it affect my work. Thank you for catching these before they broke. Dr. Morucci would kill me if he had to wait while I went around collecting all-new samples.
Epiphany: Well, you're not the first save I've made this shift. It seems like everybody's having personal issues today. Um -- so what's going on? Has this little issue been resolved?
Scene continues without Emily.
Epiphany: I just heard your brother's been acquitted.
Emily: Jason's free? Yeah? Oh, my God.
Epiphany: All right --
Emily: Thank God.
Epiphany: Maybe now you can concentrate on your job for a change.
Emily: I will. I will, Epiphany. Do you know if Elizabeth's heard yet?
Epiphany: Oh, probably. I gave her the rest of the day off to go hear the verdict being read.
Nikolas: What? What's wrong?
Lucky: The verdict just came in. The jury just found Jason not guilty.
Nikolas: Well, you should be relieved.
Elizabeth: Jason's been acquitted.
Emily: Yeah. Epiphany just told me the news. She also said that -- that you were at the courthouse when the verdict came in.
Elizabeth: Yeah, well, Ric did so much damage with my testimony, I was afraid that the jury would side against him.
Emily: Yeah, thank God they didn't.
Elizabeth: I know. Now we can all move on with our lives.
Emily: Yeah. So, um, how does Lucky fit in?
Elizabeth: Well, I'm hoping that we can work things out, but I don't know if he'll be able to get past the fact that I slept with Jason.
Emily: Well, you found a way to forgive him after his affair with Maxie.
Elizabeth: Yeah, but this is different.
Emily: Why?
Elizabeth: Because Jason is more than just a one-night stand. He's someone I've come to depend on, and I'm not going to deny how important he is to me.
Emily: Okay, well, Lucky's your husband. What if he asks you to cut Jason out of your life?
Epiphany: Well, if you are back on the clock, you can go to 763 and change Mr. Porter's bandages, and then you can float on over to 781 and give Mrs. Wilkins her sponge bath.
Elizabeth: Oh, and thanks for letting me go to the courthouse. I'll be able to stay late tonight for you.
Emily: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. You can't stay late tonight -- remember? We're supposed to be meeting Lucky and Nikolas for dinner.
Nikolas: If Jason had been convicted, Elizabeth would have wanted to go visit him in prison, putting even more strain on your marriage. Right? Look, now that Elizabeth knows how you feel about her friendship with Jason, maybe you should stay away from --
Lucky: No, you mean her affair with Jason.
Nikolas: It was one night. It didn't mean anything. She says it's over, so why don't you just let it be?
Lucky: Elizabeth would still be lying if Ric hadn't questioned her about her relationship with Jason while under oath.
Nikolas: Maybe so. But you lied about being addicted to pain killers, and slept with Maxie more than once and she still found a way to forgive you. Maybe you should do the same.
Emily: Hey. Hey.
Newscaster: After a brief deliberation, the jury reached a verdict in the Lorenzo alcazar murder trial. Jason Morgan, a rumored mob enforcer, was found not guilty.
Mike: Yes!
Phone rings.
Newscaster: The acquittal is an embarrassing defeat for district attorney Ric Lansing --
Mike: Kelly's. Yeah, sure.
Nikolas: How was work?
Emily: Oh, it was busy.
Nikolas: Yeah?
Emily: Two other interns were picked to scrub in on a lung transplant, so I got stuck doing rounds with Dr. Morucci. He had me running from one end of the hospital to the other all day long.
Nikolas: So does this Dr. Morucci treat his nurses as bad as he does his interns?
Elizabeth: Not usually. We've just been short-staffed all week.
Lucky: Yeah, well, maybe if you weren't good friends with Jason, you wouldn't have to miss work to be at his trial.
Nikolas: Listen, I was hoping that you and the kids could come visit Spencer this weekend. You think?
Lucky: Hey.
Lucky: Can't stay away from him, can you?
