Rebecca: Shouldn't have come back. I don't need this.

Nikolas: Wait, listen. Hey, hey, will you just try and understand where I'm coming from, please? My entire life, my grandmother has gone to the end of the earth to try and manipulate me. She'll tell any lie, concoct any scheme. She's even had people killed, all for one goal, and that's to control me and my inheritance. Now, as crazy as that may seem to you, it is not that unlikely to me that she would put an Emily look-alike in my life, all right?

Rebecca: Oh, right, she really had people killed?

Nikolas: Yes. Charming, right?

Rebecca: Well, why don't you just turn her into the cops?

Nikolas: Because she has a particular gift for evading prosecution, amongst other things. Look, I tried to have her banished from my home, but like I told you, she knows all the secret ways in. I've even had to send my little boy away so she doesn't use him against me. Now, I know that you think Alexis and I are completely paranoid about this, but using you is not remotely implausible for Helena.

Rebecca: Oh, yeah, well, if you really believe that, then why waste your time explaining, huh? Why give me another chance to work you?

Nikolas: Because I want to believe you. I want to believe that you're not working for her, so much it scares me.

Rebecca: Look, I don't know what you and I are to each other, but I'm not going to be scared away by paranoia and false accusations.

Nikolas: Come here.

[Footsteps]

Alexis: Oh, nicely done. That was even better than the last one. Great performance. Helena would be very proud of you.


Nikolas: I appreciate your concern, but I can handle this myself.

Alexis: You are not handling it, Nikolas. You are obsessing over that clone that Helena has dropped in your lap.

Rebecca: You bitch.

Nikolas: That's enough.

Rebecca: But if you think I'm going to run out of here like I did last time, think again.

Nikolas: Wait, can we please calm down?

Alexis: I don't want to interfere in your life. I don't like doing it, but someone's got to, and I'm all you've got. Now you know better. Helena's minions cannot be trusted, and that Woman is just phase one of what's going to be much, much worse for you.

Rebecca: Look, I get that your Nikolas' aunt. He explained why you're both so paranoid. I mean, I get it. The last time I checked, in this country, innocent until proven guilty.

Alexis: Is she honestly going to lecture me about the law? We knew something was up when you showed up here, looking exactly like Emily. Enter Helena, and it's obvious. She bought you, groomed you, and had whatever altered altered.

Rebecca: Oh, I was right. Insanity does run in your family.

Alexis: She knew that you would be vulnerable to somebody like her.

Nikolas: Alexis, you're making a lot of allegations without any proof here.

Alexis: You want proof?

Nikolas: Yes.

Alexis: I don't blame you. Really? Because let's see what we can find. See for yourself. That scar is from plastic surgery.
