Dominick's Townhouse

"Thank you all for coming this morning," Dominick announces to Jeff, Leah, Paige, Tyler, Ethan, and Robin as they all sit in the living room of Dominick's townhouse. He called his family over this morning to discuss the fact that Felicia is alive and that she has married Frederick, thanks to Bryce. He knows that they need to come up with something to get Felicia away from Frederick, but they have no idea what that could be. "Now, as most of you know, we discovered that Felicia is alive and well yesterday, but thanks to Bryce, she has married Frederick Richardson."

"I am still in shock that Felicia is back," Paige admits to her family. "You all must have been rocked to see her in the flesh."

"It was a mix of shock and bliss," Tyler tells her. "We have all missed her so much, but she's in alive, and that's great."

"But Dad is right," Leah chimes in. "She's married to Frederick; I don't know what Noah was thinking, but this is a nightmare. If this marriage is legal, I am not sure what leg we have to stand on to get her away from Frederick."

"I don't know," Jeff shrugs back to everyone. "Did Felicia seem…okay? I mean, I can't place it, but she seemed different."

"God only knows what Frederick has done to her," Dominick sighs back to everyone. "I don't know what the answer is, but I'm asking each and everyone of you to put your thinking caps on; there must be something we can do to get Felicia away from the obsessive son of a bitch! We can't let Frederick continue to keep Felicia at the mansion. We have to get her back."

"We are all in this together," Tyler agrees with his father. "As soon as someone thinks of anything to get Felicia away from that man, we come together and talk about it together?"

"And family, there's not a moment to waste," Dominick says sternly. "The longer that Felicia is with that madman, the more dire this situation becomes."

 
 

The Tower's; Floor Three; Madeline & Clayton's Condo

Lukas steps off the elevator on the third floor of the large condo tower and moves towards the front door of Madeline's place. He knows that Clayton has been staying at his sister's apartment while she is out of town, and he wants to see his friend before he heads back to court for the day.

"Lukas, hi," Clayton says as he opens the door after Lukas knocks. He wasn't expecting to see Lukas on his doorstep this morning, but he is pleasantly surprised to see him.

Lukas licks his lips at the sight of seeing Clayton only wearing some grey sweatpants. His toned chest is clearly on display for Lukas to admire. "Sorry, I probably should have called before I came over…"

"No, it's all good, I was just got out of the shower," Clayton tells him as he lets Lukas move into the condo. "I am surprised that you're not at court already."

"I wanted to stop by and see a friendly face before I head there," Lukas admits to him. "The case, it got more complicated yesterday."

"More complicated?" Clayton chuckles to him. "How is that even possible?"

"It's a long story," Lukas sighs back to him. "Anyways, I guess I came over for a distraction or something…"

"I can distract you from anything you want," Clayton says as he moves closer to him. "How can I help?"

"Honestly?" Lukas asks as he puts his hands on Clayton's chest. "You're…you're looking so good this morning…"

Clayton smiles back to him. "You came here for a booty call?"

"It's not like that…"

Clayton kisses Lukas passionately and they look at one another when their lips part. "A booty call isn't a bad thing," Clayton purrs back to him. "If anything, I could use one…"

"Good, cause so could I," Lukas replies as he pulls down Clayton's sweatpants and falls to his knees, causing Clayton to start gasping in pleasure.

The Tower's; Floor Ten; Andrew & Daisy's Home

Andrew opens the door to his condo that he shares with Daisy with sweat dripping off his forehead. He decided to start his day with a jog, in hopes of taking his mind off his depression over Albertinah and Sonny. The workout has definitely helped as he is feeling much better than he has the last few days.

He moves into the kitchen and grabs a bottle of water from the fridge and takes a big swig of it as he is trying to hydrate following his run. He turns, then, and sees Daisy setting the table for breakfast.

"What's all this?" Andrew asks her as he moves closer to the table.

"While you were out running," Daisy smiles back to him. "I went to the Pink Flamingo and got some of your favorites. I thought it would cheer you up."

"You mean the chicken and waffles?"

"With extra syrup," Daisy winks back to him. "You deserve to be treated today."

"Thanks Daisy," Andrew smiles back to her. "You've outdone yourself."

"Like I told you," Daisy looks back at him. "I am here for you in every way possible and I want that to last forever and ever."

"Forever is a long time," Andrew chuckles.

"I know, but I mean it," Daisy tells him. "In fact, we should just make it official."

"What are you suggesting?"

"Let's get married Andrew," Daisy stuns him. "Let's become husband and wife?"

The Tower's; The Penthouse; Cory's Home

Penny fumbles around in guestroom in the penthouse as she is trying to get herself dressed. Normally, in the mornings, she has a nurse aid come to the penthouse and help her dress for the day since she is blind; today, however, the nurse aid was not able to come due to a schedule conflict.

As she stands in the middle of the room in her underwear, she quickly arches her eyebrow and wonders if she can use this as an opportunity to try to get Cory back. She recalls how the previous day, Cory and Robin believed that she was resting, but in fact, she was awake and she heard the couple sneak upstairs to Cory's room to have sex with one another. The thought of cory being with another woman made her sick to her stomach as she believes that she and Cory should be together.

"Cory! Cory can you come in here please?" she calls out to her former lover. Within a few seconds, Cory is opening the door to her bedroom and he happens to see Penny standing in her room, only wearing her white laced underwear set.

He arches his eyebrow at the sight of her. "Pen, what's up? I came as soon as I heard you call out."

"Thanks," Penny smiles back to him. "This is embarrassing but usually the nurse helps me get dressed each morning. Can you…"

"Yea, I got you," he tells her, still unable to not admire her body. "Do you want a blouse and pants today?"

"Yea, that works," Penny replies to him. "And Cory, thanks. I…you really are always in my corner."

"I told you," Cory turns back to her and puts her clothing in her hands. "Anything you need, I'm here. We will get through this together."

"You're the best," she smiles back to him. "I think I can manage from here."

The Calimo Mansion

Natasha slowly walks down the stairs that head into the foyer of the Calimo mansion as she is making her way to the living room. She barely slept the previous night as her mind was racing about her trip to Detroit, where Louie admitted that he is Shane's father and that Shane's real name is Derek Rainer, and he skipped town after killing his mother.

She has no idea what is true or what to believe, but she can't imagine marrying Shane if he really did kill his mother. The part that she is struggling with is that she feels like the man that she has loved for 20 years could possibly be someone that she doesn't even know; how could she have spent so many years with him without actually knowing who Shane is?

"I need to figure this out," she whispers to herself as she moves into the living room and makes a beeline for the bar, where she sees Rosario putting out a fresh pot of coffee.

"Good morning Ms. Calimo, can I get you a coffee?"

"I'd love one," Natasha smiles back to the housekeeper, who pours the coffee and passes it to her. "Thank you Rosario."

"My pleasure," Rosario tells her. "I'll let you know when breakfast is ready."

Natasha smiles back to her as Rosario exits the room. Natasha takes another sip of her coffee and looks over at the doorway when Shane emerges.

"You're home," Shane looks at his fiancé, who nods back to him. "Where did you sneak off to this time, Natasha? Or do I even have to ask?"

"Good morning to you too."

"Why'd you do it?" he asks her with intent. "Why did you go back to Detroit after I specificially asked you not too?"

The Sugarbowl

Paige sits in the back booth of the coffee house by herself as she wanted some alone time after having the family meeting earlier. She almost feels overwhelmed with everything that is happening right now; Felicia is alive but married to Frederick, she can't wrap her head around how or why Bryce would marry them, but she suspects that Frederick must have blackmailed him, or something, into helping him.

As she takes a sip of her lemonade, she also realizes that she is pregnant with Will's child. She hasn't told him about the child yet because the last time she saw him, he admitted that he ran into Eva and it made him realize that he still had feelings for her. Paige knew that Will was struggling to get over Eva, but she really believed that if they spent time together that he would organically move on from those feelings.

"I can't be with a man that is still in love with another woman," she whispers to herself. "But that doesn't solve the fact that I got pregnant and am carrying his baby."

She puts her hand on her stomach as she wonders what she will do about the baby. "I wish I hadn't been so reckless, but here I am. I can't go back, I just have to decide what I am going to do about the baby."

Dominick's Townhouse

Dominick moves to the fireplace mantel in his living room and picks up a picture of himself and Felicia. He hates that Felicia is still in the mansion with Frederick and that Bryce married them. He doesn't know how Frederick convinced Bryce to marry them but he realizes that he has to do something to help Felicia get away from Frederick.

"I don't know how yet but I will help you Felicia," Dominick whispers to himself as he sets the picture frame back down. "I won't let you stay with that man."

"Oh Dominick, thank God you're here," Eva announces as she moves into the living room. "We need to talk."

Dominick turns and glares back at her, furious that she knew about Felicia and Frederick for weeks and never said anything to him, or the family, about it. "What the hell do you want, Eva?"

"I am tired of us being at odds," Eva looks back at him. "You and I both know that we are stronger together, Dominick. I don't know why we can't just get this right! Why is this so hard?"

Dominick chuckles back to her. "You want to put us back together, Eva? That's rich considering that you've been lying to me for weeks about Felicia and Frederick! How the hell can I trust you?"

"You have to understand why I did that," Eva looks back at him. "I…I was scared that if you knew about Felicia, you would leave me and rush back to her. She has been in the middle of our marriage for years!"

"You came between us when you lied to me," Dominick glares back to her. "And because of you, Frederick has married Felicia! So we have no way to get out of his clutches, and that's your fault Eva!"

"They are married? I…I had no idea."

"Your lies have gone too far this time!" Dominick yells at her. "We are over, do you hear me! Your lies and deceit have gone too far this time!"
