Nik is surprised by Laura's reaction. She admits that she suspected Stefan's involvement, but had hoped she was wrong. Nik says that he thinks that he knew too, but didn't want to see it. Laura is concerned for Nik and asks if he has spoken to Stefan. Nik affirms that he had, and Stefan admitted it. He explains that Stefan claimed that he did everything to protect him. Laura knows that Stefan loves Nik and that his worse fear is that of losing Nik. Nik counters that his worse fear is becoming like Stefan. Laura assures him that he is nothing like Stefan.

Zander will turn himself in, but he and Emily want more time together.

Laura says that she would be more worried about Nik if he weren't so mad at Helena. Nik thinks that there is a big difference between hating Helena and wanting her dead.
