Katherine undergoes surgery at GH after Stefan shoots her. Later, Stefan enters Katherine’s room, where she is unconscious and on oxygen. Stefan remembers the shooting. Then closes his eyes. He goes into a dreamlike state. He turns hearing a voice. It’s Katherine. “I heard you Cassadines were territorial, wouldn’t you call this a bit excessive.”
S: “I’m so sorry Ms. Bell.”
K: “I should hope so.”
S: “It was an accident. I was holding the gun and you surprised me. I saw your smile and your eyes. I can’t forget the way you looked at me. What were you thinking?”
K: “How serious you looked. What were you thinking?”
S: “Nothing you want to know about.”
K: “I asked.”
S: “Yes you did. If you must know I was entertaining a plan of revenge against an enemy.”
K: “Luke Spencer.”
S: “How did you know?”
K: “I just do.”
S: “It went wrong all of it.” As Katherine walks around him.
S: “Laura wasn’t supposed to die.” Rubbing his temple in pain.
K: “She meant a great deal to you.” A moment of silence.
S: “Yes, but she always belonged to someone else. No, she belonged to him. Luke, my nemesis. I was going to fire a shot with his gun and say he tried to kill me. It doesn’t matter now. None of it matters. The games over. The participants have all left the table in some way or another. Forgive me, I ramble.”
K: “It’s all right.”
S: “From the split second I pulled the trigger I saw this look in your eyes. Something pure. Something I recognized. It all happened so fast. And now you may die too.”
K: “Maybe that would be best. If I died, then no one would ever know what you did. That would be best right?”
Stefan comes back to a rational state and caresses Katherine’s hair. He holds her hand as he remembers Alexis say ” If Katherine dies. This is one murder Luke Spencer won’t get away with.” And Katherine saying ” It would be best if I died.” Stefan on the verge of tears caresses her hand and says “But I don’t want you to die.” Katherine opens her eyes. She looks at him and Stefan smiles. As she awakens more Stefan sits and says gently “Hello.” A nurse comes in and Stefan leaves.
