how to emit signals on procedurally generated enemies

aaa3

Hi, I have a spawner that sends out items that are procedurally generated therefore not in the same root scene as the player or my score label. Essentially I'm trying to get my score to go up when the player runs into them.

code on my item

signal eaten

func _on_collect4_body_entered(body):
	emit_signal("eaten")
	queue_free()
	pass

code on my world node

onready var collect4 = get_node("../collect4")

func _ready():
	collect4.connect("eaten", $scoreLabel, "_on_collect4_body_entered")
	pass

code on my label

extends Label

var score = 0
onready var collect4 = get_node("../collect4")

func _ready():
	collect4.connect("eaten", $self, "_on_collect4_body_entered")
	
func _on_collect4_body_entered():
	score += 1
	text = "Score: %s" % score
	print(score)

I'm not sure how to properly call the node from a different scene?
