  • Nikolas falls for Helena’s deceitful words, going after Lucky and marking his parental territory.
  • Helena arranges for Lucky to save Elizabeth by bullying the pregnant woman for show.
  • Lucky instructs Nikolas to get rid of Helena, before that psycho hurts Elizabeth.
  • Elizabeth begins to hope that Lucky’s save means Lucky’s coming back to her.
