"Nothing is Too Far-Fetched for Helena"

Helena: I am delighted that General Hospital is back in business. The Cassadine money has funded a spectacular renovation, if I do say so myself. Enjoy it while you can, and don't forget to thank my beloved grandson for all of his hard work. Nikolas, my darling, I am eagerly anticipating our reunion. It's been far too long.

Edward: Why is that homicidal maniac back here in Port Charles?

Alexis: Maybe Rebecca can tell us?

Rebecca: That was your grandmother?

Nikolas: Yes.

Edward: Why didn't you tell us that that demented fiend was back in Port Charles?

Nikolas: Because I didn't know. I haven't heard from her in over two years.

Monica: How did she get into this hospital? And more to the point, how did she take over the monitors?

Nikolas: I don't know.

Alexis: I think the more relevant question is, what is she planning next? It seems the reunion with you, Nikolas, is at the top of her agenda.

Edward: Well, she must not see Rebecca.

Monica: Edward's right. Helena tried numerous times to kill Emily, and she almost succeeded.

Rebecca: I've got nothing to do with Emily.

Edward: Trust me, my dear, Helena Cassadine may not see it that way.

Elizabeth: What do you think Helena wants with Nikolas?

Lucky: I don't know, but it can't be good. I need to go find my dad and tell him Helena’s back.

Rebecca: I really think you're exaggerating.

Nikolas: No.

Edward: You explain.

Nikolas: My grandmother is psychotic. She takes pleasure in wreaking havoc like this. And although I'm the one she claims to love, what she really wants is my inheritance.

Monica: You know, she could be in this hospital at this moment.

Edward: Yeah, we have to get you out of here, my dear.

Nikolas: They are right. We have to go with him right now.

Rebecca: Look, I'm not going to argue because I can see you're upset, but I really think you're overreacting. How dangerous can this Woman be?

Edward: Don't bother to ask, my dear. Helena Cassadine could be here and see that as a challenge.

Monica: Please, let's just take you home. We'll explain everything when we get to the house.

Edward: Let's go. Come on.

Nikolas: I'll call you later, okay?

Alexis: What makes you think Helena hasn't already seen Rebecca?

Patrick: Okay, I just got of the phone with I.P. They're trying to figure out how your grandmother gained access to the P.A. system.

Nikolas: We need to double up on security, make sure she hasn't tampered with anything else around here.

Patrick: Yeah, now, I know your family has a history of --

Nikolas: Psychosis? Yeah, I know.

Patrick: Well, I was going to say "aberrant behavior." But do you have any idea why she would target the hospital?

Nikolas: I know that she doesn't need a reason. She's doing this because she can.

Alexis: Excuse me. May I have a minute? I think I know what Helena is up to and it's about Rebecca.

Nikolas: I need to hurry and get back to Wyndemere.

Alexis: Do you think Helena’s waiting there?

Nikolas: She says she'll be contacting me. That'd be the natural place to do it.

Alexis: Well, if you need company, I'm available.

Nikolas: No, that's all right. She's tried to kill you before. I don't want to put you in danger.

Alexis: I'm worried about you putting yourself in danger.

Nikolas: Yeah, well, if I just vanish without a trace or manifest a completely different personality, do me a favor and look into it?

Alexis: That's not the trouble that I'm talking about. Helena has already made her move and it's Rebecca.

Nikolas: You don't know that.

Alexis: Nikolas, how else do you explain a Woman who looks exactly like Emily who just happens to end up in your proximity?

Nikolas: You're saying Helena planted Rebecca here in Port Charles?

Alexis: Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I don't know how she did it, what she did -- plastic surgery, voodoo. Somehow she put that girl right in your path, told her to act wary anytime anyone mentioned Emily’s name, and for her to resist you if you tried to get close to her.

Nikolas: You think this is a manipulation, or what?

Alexis: Nikolas, anything this weird and unbelievable has Helena’s name written all over it.

Nikolas: What about the cancer scare Rebecca had?

Alexis: What about it? It's perfect, perfect. Ties you emotionally in with the same thing you shared with Emily.

Nikolas: It's far-fetched, even for Helena.

Alexis: Nothing is too far-fetched for Helena. Nikolas, listen to me. This whole Rebecca thing has not made any sense from the beginning. It's beyond coincidence. And she seems to have an explanation for all of it, none of which gel. You enter Helena -- it all makes sense.

Nikolas: I don't believe it.

Alexis: Helena's counting on that, Nikolas. She's counting on you to be so vulnerable that you believe Rebecca's story, but the truth is going to come out. Rebecca is working for Helena. And trust me, you will know that the minute she stops acting standoffish and starts to get close to you.

Luke: Natasha. What an unexpected pleasure.

Alexis: Who were you expecting?

Luke: Helena. I understand the dragon has swooped in on the villagers.

Alexis: I figured she'd be stopping by here. She's always had this perverse attraction to you.

Luke: And I to her. May I offer you fortification?

Alexis: Is the sun still up?

Luke: It's down somewhere.

Alexis: A lot. I need a sounding board.

Luke: Sound away.

Alexis: I'm concerned about Rebecca. Her existence here seems beyond a coincidence, right?

Luke: Well, I'm with you there.

Alexis: Now that Helena’s back, I'm putting the pieces together, and it appears that Rebecca is a plant.

Luke: Maybe she's even a clone, who knows -- of Emily, you know? Whatever it is, the old lady's been away for a long time. If she's back, it means something big.
