Nikolas: There's really no point in talking in circles here. You want to keep the peace with Jerry, and I won't rest until I stop him, so --
Emily: Hold on. By "stopping," you mean kill?
Nikolas: Whatever.
Emily: Even though you know that if Jerry dies, I could end up in prison for espionage, and if you antagonize him, he could turn me in for spite?
Nikolas: I -- yeah, I -- I do know that, but I just -- I can't live my life like this. I won't allow some -- some psychopath to control your life or mine.
Emily: Nikolas, that's what's happening when we fight. We're not getting anywhere. Jerry would be thrilled. All I want to do is love you, and he's making this impossible.
Nikolas: I wish I could see it that way, Emily, but I just can't. I'm sure it's because I'm a Cassadine, and because I love you too much. I will not stop until he is no longer a threat to you -- or anyone else.
Nikolas: Just because Jerry's disappeared doesn't mean -- doesn't mean that he won't try and create havoc somewhere else.
Emily: Where'd these come from?
Nikolas: Hmm?
Emily: These -- where'd they come from?
Nikolas: Oh. Norma picked them with Spencer in the garden.
Emily: We could be walking in the gardens, you know? Or along the cliffs. Or we could be like a lot of other people on a nice summer day. People sitting on blankets, enjoying themselves. People with all kinds of problems -- serious and not-so-serious. People who choose to enjoy themselves, especially on a day like this.
Nikolas: You know that Alfred's about to bring tea, right?
Emily: Yeah, you better close the door.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Nikolas: This is a nice surprise.
Emily: Mm-hmm. You like surprises, don't you?
Nikolas: Yes, I do.
Emily: Mm-hmm.
Nikolas: Love on a bed of flowers.
Emily: Hmm.
Nikolas: It's quite adventurous, don't you think?
Emily: Hmm. If I've learned anything in the past few months, it's that the world can change in an instant.
Nikolas: Yeah.
Emily: One minute you're in the middle of a party, and the next minute you're a hostage. Can't change what Jerry's done, but we sure don't have to give him this afternoon. Uh-uh.
Emily: Hmm.
Nikolas: Thank you for continuing to remind me what's important.
Phone rings
Nikolas: Oh, God.
Emily: What, do you have to? No, no, no. No.
Nikolas: If it's not family, I'll just let it go to voicemail, okay?
Emily: Okay.
Nikolas: Hold up. It's Lulu. Hey, Lulu, I'm kind of busy at the moment, so if you just --
Mac: Then touch base with the team canvassing the park, then go door to door around the perimeter, all right? Come on, let's go.
Nikolas: Lulu just called us.
Emily: Yeah, how can we help?
Mac: Lucky and Elizabeth are at the police station, we're putting out an Amber Alert.
Nikolas: You have any leads?
Mac: Not yet.
Nikolas: Did you check Canadian borders, all the borders?
Mac: We've been in touch with the personnel on the borders, along with the airports, train stations -- the whole protocol. But, look, at this point, the best thing you and Emily can do is stay out of the way.
Nikolas: We'll look for Jake with or without your support.
Emily: Look, Mac, we've been through this. There's got to be something that we can do.
Mac: Do you know anybody that might want to take this baby?
Emily: No. Lucky and Elizabeth don't have any enemies.
Mac: Has anyone been hanging around Elizabeth and the baby, you know, maybe showing a little bit too much interest?
Emily: No, not that I can think of.
Nikolas: No.
Mac: How would you characterize Elizabeth's state of mind lately?
Emily: She's been fine.
Mac: Yeah, but she just went back to work, she's got a preschooler, a new baby, and her husband's a cop.
Nikolas: Where -- where are you going with this, Mac?
Mac: Could Elizabeth be suffering from postpartum depression? Maybe blocked out what really happened?
Nikolas: I know. I just needed to see for myself. Thank you for waking him up.
Norma: Is there any word on your nephew?
Nikolas: No. No, not yet.
Norma: I'm very sorry.
Nikolas: Thank you. Look, I won't lose him again, so don't -- don't let him out of your sight, not even for one second, okay?
Norma: I won't. Don't worry.
Nikolas: Thank you. I know exactly what Lucky's going through right now.
Emily: I know. That's why he needs you here, Nikolas. He's holding himself together for Elizabeth, but he needs a place to vent. And at least with Spencer, we had a pretty good idea of who took him. This just seems so random.
Nikolas: No, not really to me, it doesn't.
Emily: Why? Who do you think did it?
Nikolas: Jerry Jacks.
Nikolas: I'll meet you in Paris. I'm leaving for the airport the moment we hang up -- okay.
Emily: Wait -- Nikolas, wait, you can't actually believe that Jerry took Jake.
Nikolas: Well, maybe he didn't with his own two hands, but he's definitely involved. That baby's more leverage than you are.
Emily: No, you're using this as an excuse to go after him.
Nikolas: It doesn't mean that I'm wrong.
Emily: Lucky needs you here.
Nikolas: Lucky needs his son back, and if Jerry didn't take him, Jerry knows where he is.
Emily: Nikolas, please. I'm begging you, don't do this.
Nikolas: Look -- look, Emily, I'm counting on you to -- to help Elizabeth, to help Lucky, to look after Spencer, okay? I'll be home as soon as I can. All right, I love you.
Emily: I love you, too, but --
Nikolas: No -- no "but." I'll call you, okay?
Emily: Okay.
Nikolas: Okay?
Emily: Yeah.
Nikolas: All right.
