Emily: Ahem.
Nikolas: Hey.
Emily: Hey.
Nikolas: Come here.
Emily: What?
Nikolas: I miss you.
Emily: Oh --
Nikolas: Come on.
Emily: I haven't left yet.
Nikolas: I know. It's just the anticipation -- we'll be apart for hours.
Emily: Hmm. Think how great it's going to be when I get home -- all that built-up passion.
Nikolas: Just skip the part where we leave, shall we?
Emily: Nikolas, I love this. I love the way it is now. It's just you and me again.
Nikolas: I know, me, too. It's all I ever really wanted.
Emily: Yeah?
Nikolas: Yeah.
Alexis: Oh --
Emily: Oh -- nope. Perfect timing! I was, uh, close to being late for work.
Alexis: Sorry.
Nikolas: Bye.
Emily: Bye. Ahem!
Emily laughs.
Alexis: Have fun. I love starting my day out with a dose of happiness like that.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Alexis: Apparently, I've spoken too soon.
Nikolas: Tell me that you can keep Emily out of prison.
Alexis: From what I understand, if Jerry disappears or dies, he will use the evidence that he has against Emily and send it to the State Department, and then she'll be implicated for treason.
Nikolas: That's true, which is why I need you to prove that she's innocent now.
Alexis: You sound as if you expect Jerry to die.
Nikolas: Alexis, I won't let Emily live her life with this hanging over her head. Okay, I want her free of this so she can live her life with me, so she can be the brilliant doctor I know she will be, and if that means killing Jerry Jacks, so be it.
Alexis: What, exactly, do you expect me to do here?
Nikolas: Prove that she was set up, clear her name. I mean, unless you feel like there's still a need to protect Jerry?
Elizabeth's scene begins prior to Emily's arrival.
Emily: Hey. Welcome back.
Elizabeth: Hi.
Emily: Hi!
Elizabeth: Thank you. Have you seen Jason?
Emily: No. Why? What's wrong?
Elizabeth: He swears that everything is fine, despite being under arrest for murder. But sometime between yesterday and today, I have a feeling something bad really happened.
Amelia's Voice: She would rather have the truth stay buried. The last thing Sam wants is for you to be a real and present father to your son. Sam fears -- maybe rightly so -- that if the truth about Jake comes out, Elizabeth and Lucky's marriage will be over, and you and Elizabeth will end up together.
Elizabeth: Really? He wasn't cranky at all when he woke up? Oh, I'm so glad. Thank you so much. I'll be there around 1:00 to pick him up, okay? Thanks. Bye.
Jolene: Thank you so much for introducing me to Dr. Henry. That stuff he said about rotation protocol suddenly made sense.
Emily: Oh, yeah, no problem. I was a student not that long ago, so we have to stick together.
Emily chuckles.
Elizabeth: Shame on you for making that poor girl think that all doctors are really nice underneath.
Emily: I'm not sure how much good I did -- I've been so distracted worrying about Jason. Did he give you any idea of what's been bothering him, aside from the fact that he's been arrested for murder?
Elizabeth: No. I just have this bad feeling was something deeper, something personal.
Emily: Yeah. Hey, new daddy. How's it going?
Lucky: Hey. Can I speak with you for a minute?
Elizabeth: Yeah. What's wrong?
Lucky: After everything we talked about, argued about, why did you go visit Jason again?
Nikolas: How soon can you move in on the family?
Man: Well, I'll get to work on it today. Now, my partner will let me know when they've left their homes, then I'll place the wiretaps on Mr. Jacks' phone and mother's, as well.
Nikolas: Okay, good. Just be sure not to overlook his hotel, his office, his -- hi. Uh -- I thought you were on duty.
Emily: Yeah, I switched shifts. I thought you wanted me home with you.
Nikolas: No, no, I do, I do. We'll be in touch.
Man: Yeah.
Emily sighs.
Emily: Why are you spying on Jax and his mother?
Nikolas: You know why.
Emily: You think Jerry's going to contact them? Nikolas, why can't you let this go? We've been happy, we've had one little moment of peace.
Nikolas: I know, I know, but I -- I just feel like the other shoe's about to drop.
Emily: So you insist on hunting Jerry down?
Nikolas: Yes. You're damn right I do. I love you, and I will save you from Jerry. And there's really nothing you can do about it.
