The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Frederick moves into the living room of the Victors mansion with a grin on his face. He hadn't realized how much he had missed being close to Twin Peaks as he spent the better part of the last few months at the winery in Santa Barbara. While he enjoys the winery, he has always felt like Twin Peaks was home.

As he moves into the living room, he spies Latrice looking out of the doors that lead into the garden. He knows that she is going through a lot right now because he revealed that she is Daisy's daughter. Latrice, Daisy, and Andrew were all shocked by his reveal because Frederick had, secretly, saved Latrice from when Daisy tried to abort her child years earlier. Instead, he got a nurse to remove the embryo from Daisy and implanted it into a surrogate. Latrice was rattled by the fact that her mother didn't even want her to live, while Daisy was horrified that Frederick took her decision away from her. In his mind, however, Frederick saved Latrice's life, and that is all that matters.

"Good evening," Frederick says breaking the silence in the room.

Latrice turns around and looks at her the man that is now her grandfather. "Hi Frederick."

"You seem blue, are you doing okay?"

Latrice shrugs her shoulders back to him. "I suppose I am," she says back to him. "Don't get me wrong, I am happy to be in Twin Peaks. And this estate, it is incredible."

"I thought you might like it," Frederick chuckles to her. "Let me guess, the reveal about Daisy is still weighting on you?"

"It's impossible for it not to be on my mind," she sighs back to him. "I mean, my own mother wanted me dead. I…I don't know how to get past that."

"You don't have to get over anything," Frederick tells her. "The important thing is that you know the truth now, Latrice. Daisy, she is a wonderful woman. One day, you might get to know her on a different level. And if that never happens, so be it."

"Can I be honest with you?"

"Of course you can my dear."

"I want nothing to do with her," Latrice tells him with intent. "That woman…she wanted me dead … and as a result…she's dead to me…and everyone in her life should be warned."

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

"I still can't believe that I am a big sister again," Sophie chuckles to Cory as they look at Benji, who is fast asleep in his crib in the spare room of the penthouse, where Cory lives. Sophie is there to see her father, and her newfound baby brother. The reveal that Penny dropped on the day of Robin and Cory's wedding that she had given birth to Cory's son has left everyone pretty surprised, including Sophie.

"It is pretty incredible, isn't it?" Cory chuckles back to her. "No one was more surprised than me by Penny's revelation."

"How are you feeling about being a dad again? A baby…it's a lot of work."

"I am over the moon," Cory tells her as they leave the room and head back towards the living room. "I never thought that at this point of my life, I would be a father again."

"But?" Sophie asks him as she pours two glasses of wine at the bar and passes one to her father.

"But, the truth is," he continues to tell her before he takes a sip of his wine. "I've always wanted a son. I love you to death, Sophie, but a man always wants a boy to take on his legacy."

"I understand," Sophie tells him. "I think Benji will do just that, Dad. He will be able to carry on your legacy. Today, tomorrow…forever."

"And he's going to learn so much from you," Cory winks back at her. "Because you're going to be an incredible big sister."

"I hope so," Sophie purses her lips together. "I really hope so."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Robin sits at the bar of the restaurant with a glass of wine in front of her. Earlier in the day, Penny gathered her and Cory together to announce that she wasn't back in the city to get Cory back; she only returned to introduce Cory to his son, Benji. Something about the announcement has left Robin feeling unsettled as neither she or Cory had suggested anything more.

"Looks like we had the same idea this evening," a voice calls out next to Robin. She turns and sees Penny about to sit next to her. "I'd love a glass of wine."

"Where is Benji?"

"He is spending some time with Cory and Sophie this evening," Penny reveals to her. "I thought that Cory would enjoy that."

"I'm sure he is," Robin takes another sip of her wine. "And this will give us a chance to talk."

"I couldn't agree more," Penny looks back over at her. "I meant what I said earlier Robin; I am not back in Twin Peaks to get Cory back. He's made it perfectly clear that he is in love with you. Nothing I say or do will ever change that."

"You know what I am struggling with?" Robin asks her quickly as Penny arches her eyebrow. "When you were suffering from your blindness, I really thought we had become friends, Penny. I shared some of my inner, most personal, thoughts with you about the time that I was blinded."

"You did and it helped me a lot to get through that time, Robin. I, too, would consider us friends."

Robin chuckles back to her. "Is that funny to you?" Penny asks her quickly.

"Yes, I find it humorous," Robin replies to her quickly. "Because if you were my friend, why did you sleep with Cory in the first place? You purposely set to try to ruin my relationship with him. And then, when you do come back, you interrupt my wedding to Cory? Of all the times to come back and make this announcement that you had his child, it had to be my wedding? Yea, it sounds like you're a great friend, Penny."

Penny gulps hard back to Robin. "You're not wrong," she whispers back to her. "And I'm sorry for this, Robin. I really am sorry. I just hope that one day you and Cory can find it in your hearts to forgive me."

***

At a table in the back corner of the restaurant, Cassie sits alone with a martini on the table in front of her. Her mind is racing over the fact that, earlier, Jacob, again, grilled her about what really happened the night that she and Stephanie had a fight, which resulted in her miscarriage. Cassie was able to dodge the questions by telling Jacob that she had already told him the truth, which was another lie. Jacob left in a huff, but she is worried that this will cost her the most important thing in her life: her marriage.

The truth is, she lied to Jacob, and everyone, about Stephanie attacking her because she was furious for Stephanie and Jacob sharing a kiss. Because Cassie miscarried, Stephanie ended up being suspended from the hospital. Because Stephanie's job means so much to her, she ended up retaliating against Cassie by threating to reveal another secret of hers. Cassie was backed into a corner and, then, told everyone that she didn't want Stephanie to lose her job. This is what caused Jacob to realize that she was lying to him. What's worse, she has no idea how Stephanie uncovered one of her secrets.

"I am in a no-win situation here," she whispers to herself before she takes a sip of martini. "But I will make this promise: I will not lose you, Jacob. Especially not to that no-good for nothing piece of trash, Stephanie. I will not lose my marriage to her. Not ever."

The Sugarbowl

In the back booth of the coffeehouse, Jacob sits alone with an iced tea in front of him. He is still struggling to come to terms with Cassie's change of heart with the situation with Stephanie and her miscarriage. Even earlier today when he asked his wife for the truth, she was able to dodge his questions, which has left him infuriated.

"All I know is that I can't be with a woman that will lie to my face over and over again," he tells himself in frustration. "How can Cassie do this to me? To us?"

Before he say anything else, Stephanie appears at his table. She was on her way home when she wanted to grab a pastry for the morning and she happened to see Jacob sitting alone.

"Hey you," Stephanie says as she sits across from him. "You look like you just lost your best friend."

"I feel like I have," Jacob admits to her, immediately thinking about how when he told the doctor about his separation from Cassie, she kissed him. "Things are not better between me and Cassie."

"I see," Stephanie says as she moves a piece of her hair behind her ear. "I am sorry, again, for what's its worth."

"I know you are," Jacob replies to her quickly. "Can I ask you a question? And you be honest with me?"

"Of course."

"What is going on, really, between you and my wife?" Jacob asks Stephanie, who looks back at him in surprise. "What is the truth here, Stephanie?"

"i…I've already told you my version of the events," Stephanie tells him quickly. "And I've made it clear that I wouldn't lie to you. Anything else, you'll have to get from your wife. Cassie will have to give you answers, Jacob."

"The problem is, I don't think she will ever tell me the truth."

"Now it's my turn to me very honest with you," Stephanie says as they lock eyes with one another. "If you feel that way, Jacob, if you feel like you can't get the truth, or answers, from your wife, then you have to ask yourself: do you even have a marriage? And if so, is this, really, how you want to spend the rest of your life?"

The Lawson Estate; Abby, Cheresa, Georgina, & Cheresa's Home

Abby and Ethan lay next to one another with a glowing sweat on their naked bodies. After Abby got home, she and Ethan spoke; Ethan wanted to hold Abby, which resulted in them making love to one another.

"That was incredible," Abby chuckles to her lover before she looks at him and kisses him on his lips.

"You have no idea how badly I needed that," Ethan says back to her. "I've been so stressed about the trial that starts tomorrow."

"I could tell," Abby purrs back to him. "You really unleashed, not that I am complaining."

"From my point of view, you were loving it," he winks back at her.

"I was," she tells him. "And, I can't thank you enough for everything you're doing to help Cheresa."

"I'm trying."

"You'll do fine," she tells him. "Just remember, I'm always here to support you Ethan. I love you and I want you to know that."

"You have proven that to me," he tells her with a smile. "It's like I said earlier, nothing will ever come between us again, Abby."

He leans in and kisses her on the lips. While the kiss continues, Abby can't help but think about the fact that she is pregnant and either Ethan, or Max, could be the father. If it is Max, then something might just come between her and Ethan.

***

Meanwhile, in the living room of the Lawson estate, the kiss between Paige and Greg continues. Paige had arrived at the mansion because she couldn't sleep and told Greg that he had been on her mind since they connected at the speed dating event. To her surprise, Greg admitted the same thing about her, and they ended up kissing.

Finally, their lips part ways and they look into one another's eyes.

"Wow," Paige licks her lips back to him. "I wasn't expecting this to happen tonight."

"Neither did I," Greg chuckles back to her. "But a welcomed surprise, I hope."

"Very welcomed," Paige nods back to her. "In case I haven't made myself clear, I am very attracted to you, Greg."

"Likewise, Paige," he nods back to her. "Listen, it's getting late and I have Cheresa's trial in the morning. We could pick this up another time?"

"Or?"

Greg arches his eyebrow back to her. "Or?"

"Or," Paige locks eyes with him. "You take me upstairs and make love to me. Release some of that tension you have about Cheresa's trial."

Greg smiles back to her before she moves up to him and kisses him again. "That gets my vote," she purrs to him.

"You've convinced me," he tells her as lust fills his eyes. "I want you so badly."

"Then have me," she purrs before she kisses him again. "Make love to me, Greg."

***

Upstairs in Cheresa and Dawn's room, Dawn lays in the king size bed fast asleep. Like the previous night, Dawn is having another nightmare, which have become more and more frequent for her. The fact that the following day is Cheresa's trial is adding stress to her because, now, she likely won't feel well rested.

In her dream, Dawn is back on the pier. It is dark and she can hear the waves of the river crashing into the side of the docks. Dawn looks up and can tell that a storm is brewing on the docks, but she has no way of escaping or leaving.

She looks down at her wrist and her vision becomes blurry. She can see something wrapped around her wrist but she has no idea what it is because of the blurred vision. When she looks up, she can see another vision of Tara quickly approaching her with a weapon. She can't make out the weapon this time, but she can hear Tara say the words, "I'm going to kill you" over and over again.

Panic takes over Dawn. She looks around trying to find something, anything, that will help her get away from Tara. But there is nothing. That's when Dawn sees it: a club. She picks it up and takes a swing of it. The swing hits Tara and the woman collapses!

Dawn, then, bolts up in her bed in a cold sweat. "Another dream," she tries to catch her breath. "What is happening to me? Why do I keep dreaming about Tara?"

Twin Peaks Police Station; The Holding Cells

Cheresa lays in her cot in her jail cell and looks up at the ceiling. The cot is not comfortable, but she has gotten used to it since she has been in the jail for a few weeks now. She knows that this could all be over tomorrow as her trial is beginning.

While her friends and family have been positive about the outcomes, and Cheresa, herself, has tried to stay positive, deep down, she is terrified of the trial and the outcome. The truth is, if she is convicted, she could go to jail for murder. She knows that the conviction would result in years in prison; all of this for a crime she knows that she didn't commit.

"God," Cheresa whispers to herself. "I know we don't talk that often. But here I am. Alone. In jail. And facing murder charges. If I can't talk to you now, when can I?"

She takes a deep breath and continues. "I'm asking you…no, I'm begging you, please, don't let me go to jail for a crime I didn't commit. Please help me find a way to prove that I am innocent. Please. Please. Please!"
