As most of the episode takes place at the Black and White Ball, the transcript is only indicative of things that pertain to Nikolas and Emily.
Sonny's voice: Sometimes, you -- you only see the danger in hindsight. And you tell yourself "I should have known." And then it's too late.
Scene betweens Lucky and Sam continues beforehand.
Lucky: It's just what?
Sam: All right, I'm going to say it -- I just --
Elizabeth: Hey, Lucky, I need to speak with you.
Sam: Go ahead. I'll be fine.
Lucky: What's up?
Elizabeth: I know I'm not your favorite person tonight, but this is really --
Lucky: Well, can you blame me? What were you thinking, starting a fight with Sam at my brother's engagement party?
Elizabeth: Okay, I realize you think Sam hung the moon, but every conversation is not about her. Nikolas could be seriously ill.
Nikolas: Looks to me like the clasp just snapped right off. Did you catch it on something?
Leyla: It was -- it was an accident.
Nikolas: Oh. So in other words, someone ripped it off? Well, certainly -- it's certainly beautiful. Antique?
Thunder.
Leyla: It was my great-grandmother's. The necklace is one of the few things my parents got out of Iran when they immigrated, so it means something to me.
Nikolas: Well, I know what it feels like to have a family heirloom passed down into my care, and how upsetting it is when it's broken. Listen, you can cover all you want for whoever did this, but someone deliberately ripped your grandmother's antique necklace off.
Leyla: It's not a big deal. It's --
Nikolas: No, I -- I completely disagree. Does Patrick know about it? And if he does, why didn't he defend you? Or is he the one who did it?
Leyla: I'll just get it fixed. It's really -- really not a big deal. Don't worry about it.
Nikolas: Well, that's not the point.
Emily: Nikolas –
Scene betweens Robin and Patrick continues beforehand.
Robin: No, you wanted an excuse to get out of the relationship. You said that you loved me; you actually made me believe that. It turns out I was just an exercise in fidelity for you.
Patrick: I loved you. I was honest with you from the beginning about my commitment issues, about not wanting a family. As soon as everything didn't go your way, you bailed. Now, take responsibility and move on!
Nikolas: So how many women are you planning on leaving in tears tonight, huh?
Robin: Nikolas --
Nikolas: Huh?
Robin: What are you -- Nikolas! Nikolas, stop!
Nikolas: Go away!
Emily: Nikolas -- stop!
Elizabeth: Nikolas has been having these rage attacks for the past few weeks now. And when they're over, he doesn't remember what he did. That's what happened in the courtyard when he was yelling at Emily. And sometimes it's worse. Sometimes he gets violent. According to Emily, he's already gone off on several people, even Alexis. That's why he sent her back to the lake house to be with Kristina and Molly.
Lucky: I'd better go find Nikolas. Thanks for telling me.
Elizabeth: I know how strong and caring you can be in a crisis.
Lucky: Thanks for that, too.
Elizabeth: I left the ballroom to go look for flashlights and stuff, so -
Lucky: Elizabeth?
Elizabeth: Hmm?
Lucky: Be careful wandering the corridors, okay?
Elizabeth: I'll be fine. I'm constantly telling Cameron there's no such thing as monsters in the closet. What kind of mom would I be if I didn't believe it myself?
Emily: Not only are the rage episodes becoming more violent, but they're coming closer together.
Robin: So you've been keeping track?
Emily: Yeah, I started a journal.
Patrick: And the tests we ran don't indicate any of this.
Emily: He has one more specialist to see in Zurich, and he wound up on the waiting list because he insisted on throwing me this big party.
Patrick: Well, that's called denial. If Nikolas doesn't get this under control, he's going to wind up on assault charge -- if he's lucky.
Nikolas: What happened?
Emily: What do you remember?
Nikolas: Uh --
Thunder.
Nikolas: I was talking to that -- that gal, Leyla, in the ballroom. Something about broken pearls. Excuse me.
Emily: Well, wait, where are you going?
Nikolas: I have guests to attend to.
Patrick: Your guests are the least of your problems right now.
Leyla: We need you right away. Someone tried to kill Ric Lansing.
Patrick: Did you see who did this?
Robin: We haven't been able to stop the bleeding.
Alexis: Oh, God, Robin, try harder.
Patrick: We need to evacuate him now.
Jerry: Don't waste your time. A storm of this magnitude must've knocked down a tower or two.
Jax: Besides, we couldn't call anyone -- a MedEvac won't fly in this weather.
Alexis: Then how are we going to get him out of here?
Jax: We find a boat.
Jerry: Let's go find Nikolas.
Robin: He's with Emily somewhere. I -- I know where he keeps the keys to the launch.
Nikolas: I have family and friends out there, people I invited over for a beautiful night, and now it's rapidly turning into a nightmare.
Emily: Lucky and Coop are cops, Nikolas, just let them handle this!
Nikolas: But this is my house! I need to take care of this situation.
Emily: Yeah, you just had a blackout! Nikolas, what if it happens again? What if --
Nikolas: What, what, Emily? "What if" what? What if someone else sees me flip out and thinks that I'm the one who tried to kill Ric Lansing? They probably already do! I mean, apparently I stabbed Jerry in an alley, amongst other things that I don't remember. What if I start flipping out completely and go on a killing spree? Maybe I already have!
Emily: Just stop it, Nikolas. That's not true, okay? You haven't, you couldn’t.
Nikolas: Emily, I love you, and I appreciate that you are on my side, but the truth is nobody knows what I've done.
Skye: It might help your son to know that his father's here pulling for him.
Trevor: No. I'm going to get Richard the medical care he needs.
Patrick: We've done just about everything we can.
Nikolas: Did -- did Ric happen to say anything about who did this to him?
Alexis: He wasn't very coherent.
Nadine: We should try to find something for the pain.
Robin: Yeah, some alcohol or something.
Nadine: I -- I can go back to the ballroom.
Patrick: No, it's not safe. Robin, Leyla, and I will stay here with Ric. Everybody else, go back to the ballroom and stay there.
Skye: I'm not leaving.
Alexis: I'm not leaving, either.
Nikolas: Listen -- listen, I'll take -- I'll take Nadine here and Emily back to the ballroom, I'll grab a bottle of brandy or something like that.
Alexis: Listen, I know you like being the center of attention, but this is a little extreme, don't you think?
Patrick: Alexis, help me put pressure on the wound.
Patrick: It doesn't look good for Ric, he's lost a lot of blood. Look, I didn't mean to rub your nose in anything by asking Leyla to stay. Robin? Hey -- hey –
Lucky: I was so worried about you.
Lulu: I'm okay.
Lucky: Did you happen to run into Elizabeth?
Lulu: No, I haven't seen her for hours.
Lucky: Okay. Coop, Nikolas, and I -- we're going to go try to find her, so promise me you'll stay here?
Lulu: Yeah, no problem.
Lucky: Okay.
Nikolas: Excuse me. I'm going to go help Lucky find Elizabeth, okay?
Emily: Okay. I'm not going to argue with you, but please be careful.
Nikolas: Okay. This was supposed to be a special night for you, I'm sorry.
Emily: No, we're going to have a lifetime of special nights, Nikolas.
Nikolas: I love you.
Luke: And that, ladies and gents, as they say, is that. In the interest of safety, we will remain on this side of the doors, and hopefully the sword-wielding wack job will remain on the outside.
