Episode#291: A Deadly Fall

-At Steve and Kayla’s apartment, Kayla screams when she sees Steve and Helena go flying off the balcony! She rushes to see if they’re alright!

-Eric is at the Brady Pub, eating, and he’s alone until he sees Greta walk in! Greta is shocked to see Eric, and she greets him, and he simply says hello. Greta is surprised, and asks if that’s all he has to say…this is the first time they’ve seen each other in so long. She tells him she’s so sorry about his mother, but he simply says its fine…Greta asks if he’s alright, and he says it is, its just been a hectic few days, and Greta asks how so!

-Nicholas is in his office at Alamain, and he looks up when there’s a knock on the door. He says to come in, and Billie walks in and they greet each other. Nicholas asks what she needs, and Billie says this actually is related to Forrest, and the company itself.

-Kayla runs to the edge of the balcony, and breathes in relief when she sees Steve hanging on! She helps pull him up as he breathes heavily, and she asks if he’s alright…he nods, and she kisses him, saying she’s so glad to have him back. She asks what happened to Helena, and Steve says in between breaths that he thinks she actually fell! Kayla says that an ambulance and the police are on their way, and this is finally coming to an end. She runs back inside to check on Stefan, and her eyes widen as Steve walks in, and Kayla says outloud:

Kayla:He’s dead…Helena killed her own son!

*Life in Salem Opening*

-Vivian meets with Ji’Min at his office in downtown Salem….he tells her everything’s gone extremely well this past day, and their operation is just about complete!

-Steve and Kayla looks down at Stefan, and Steve asks if she’s sure he’s dead, and Kayla says she’s sure…she can’t bring him back. Steve tells her he hates the guy’s guts but can’t help but feel bad for him, his mother played him like a chess piece and didn’t even care that she ended up shooting him. Kayla nods, and suddenly, the police burst in!

-Eric tells her that obviously he’s still trying to get over his mother dying, and he also heard about how his twin sister was arrested for his mom’s murder…he says he hasn’t bothered to visit or call though, and Greta tells him she’s so sorry and tries to comfort him. Eric also says that he did something he shouldn’t have…he had a one night stand with a woman! Greta is shocked and motionless for a moment, as Eric explains that he slept with a woman named Alexis Kefer, and he really shouldn’t have…Greta suddenly makes a quick end to the conversation and rushes out, and is seen clenching her fists!

-Steve and Kayla back away from Stefan’s body as the police walk in, and Kayla explains what happens…and also assures them that the dead man is Stefan Cassadine, and his mother Helena shot him…they tell her that the paramedics are outside, and they found a woman sprawled out on the sidewalk with a gun only inches away, and she had a major head injury. As they examine Stefan’s body, and people come in to takeh im away, Steve holds Kayla, and tells her at least they are reunited at last…

-Nicholas asks what about Forrest and Alamain, and Billie says that she’s worried…Alamain is falling apart and on the verge of Titan buying it out, and she’s worried about Forrest…he’s been so stressed lately, he’s been trying everything to save the company but everyone’s been so busy fighting, and they have to help him…Nicholas coldly says that he doesn’t care anymore, Forrest forced him into breaking up with Belle, which is an all time low, and he’s tried to help Alamain but it hasn’t worked…he tells her he’s not going to do anything more, he just doesn’t give a damn! He tells her he has work to do, and she sighs as she leaves…

-Back at Steve and Kayla’s apartment, as Stefan’s body is taken out, Steve and Kayla walk outside and they see paramedics with Helena, and Kayla asks how she is…they sigh, and inform Steve and Kayla that Helena had a massive head injury after her fall, and combined with that and the impact of the fall in the general…they couldn’t save her. Helena Cassadine is dead! Steve and Kayla are both in shock, as both of their enemies just died in one night! An officer walks forward and tell them that they see no need to launch an investigation or anything, so all that’ll happen now is they expect Helena and Stefan to be shipped back to their home country to be buried…the police and paramedics soon leave, and Steve and Kayla fall into their arms, safe, sound, and together…
