The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

An awkward silence falls upon the engagement partygoers that are there to celebrate Andrew and Daisy as Chris looks at his former wife. He just asked if she had anything to do with the DNA test result showing that he, not Andrew, was Albertinah's father. While he was drinking at the party, he wondered if Daisy could have switched the test results, and so, he asked.

"You're not saying anything," Chris looks over at Daisy, who is trying keep her heart rate under control. "Did you change the DNA test results to show that I was the father?"

"Chris, what are you even talking about?" a stunned Andrew asks him quickly. "Why would Daisy change the test results?"

"I agree with Andrew," Trenyce looks at her estranged husband. "Why would Daisy change those test results? And how would she have done that?"

"I don't know!" Chris shouts back to his family. "All I know is that the only person that would have had any motivate is Daisy because, I don't know, maybe she thought that Andrew would go back to you, Trey, if he was the father. Something happened to that DNA test result, and I am just trying to make sense of it all."

Daisy feels her heart racing in her chest. She knows that she did change those results because of the reasons that Chris just mentioned; she was worried that if Andrew was revealed to be Tinah's father, he and Trenyce would reunite and she didn't want to lose him, so she switched the test results. She turns around from the group and puts her hand on her forehead.

"Daisy," Andrew looks at his fiancé. "You're not saying anything? Please…tell me this isn't true? Tell Chris, and everyone, that you didn't switch those DNA test results?"

Daisy looks back at Andrew with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry," she whispers back to him. "I'm so sorry…" she says as Andrew gulps heavily, wondering what she is talking about.

 
 

***

Meanwhile, at the bar, Jarrod and Nicholas face one another, as Jarrod just came into the restaurant, not realizing that it was closed for a private event, and saw his former partner about to leave, so he approached him quickly.

"Jarrod," Nicholas looks back at him. "I…I was just on my way out…"

"I can see that," Jarrod replies to him as he runs his hands through his hair. "And it looks like this place is closed?"

"Yea, it is," Nicholas nods back to him. "There's an engagement party tonight."

"Ah," Jarrod says to him. "Before you go, can we talk quickly?"

"I don't know," Nicholas admits to him. "Everything is still so confusing for me, Jarrod."

"I get that, I really do," Jarrod replies to him. "All I'm asking is that you give me a chance, a real chance, to talk to you and explain to you how this all went down. Do you think that you can do that? Do you think that you can find it in your big hear to give us a chance to talk?"

Nicholas looks back at Jarrod and, for the first time since he's been back in town, he can see the man that he was in love with for so many years. Despite everything that has happened, Nicholas knows that he and Jarrod have a history together.

"Let's exchange numbers and we can arrange a time for us to talk," Nicholas finds himself telling Jarrod. "Because I do think we need to clean the air between us."

"Thanks Nicholas," Jarrod smiles back to him. "I…I really appreciate this, more than you'll ever know."

***

"This is turning into a disaster of a party," Cassie chuckles as she moves closer to Jacob and whispers into his ear. She is glad that, for once, she isn't at the center of the drama that is unfolding between the Davenport family.

"I feel for them all," Jacob admits to his wife. "It seems like a complicated situation that is being exposed in a public forum."

"You always try to see the best in everyone, don't you?"

"One of my charms," Jacob winks back to her. "How about you and I head home and I can make love to my beautiful wife?"

Cassie leans in and kisses him passionately. "I'd love that," she purrs to him, as she sees Stephanie watching them. Cassie, then, kisses Jacob again, hoping that Stephanie will see how close they are. "Let's go baby, I want to show you how much I adore you."

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


"I can't believe how big Georgina is getting," Abby tells Ethan as she moves into the living room of the lavish Lawson estate. She sees her lover about to pour himself a drink at the bar, so she moves up next to him.

"She really is," Ethan chuckles to her. "Want a glass of wine?"

"I'd love one," Abby replies to him. "Our little girl is so precious."

"She is the best thing that has ever happened to me," Ethan tells her as he passes her a glass of wine. "I am glad that you were here this evening to be with her, be with us."

Abby takes a slow sip of her drink. "I hope you can tell that I am trying Ethan," she says back to him. "I know you've been upset with me for spending so much time with Max and Olly, but I am trying to balance all of this."

"Just remember that Georgina needs you, just as much as I do," Ethan looks back at her. "In fact, maybe since we are alone, I could show you how much I need you."

Abby grins back to him just as she hears her phone ping. "One second, it might be Max," she tells him, as Ethan rolls his eyes to her. "He spoke to Donovan tonight…about helping with Olly."

"I see."

Abby moves back to up to him, sensing that he is annoyed with her. "Do you still want to go upstairs?"

"I think the moment passed," Ethan tells her. "I am tired, I'm going to bed. You…you can talk to Max all you want now."

"Ethan…"

"Goodnight Abby," Ethan says as he leaves the room, leaving Abby to sigh to herself, wondering if she and Ethan will ever be on the same page again.

The Calimo Mansion

"How was the party?" Madeline asks Robbie as he moves into the living room of the Calimo mansion. She is surprised to see him as she didn't expect to see him again until the morning time.

"It was getting dramatic when I left," Robbie chuckles to her. "Something about a DNA test being changed."

"Oh boy," Madeline shakes her head to him. "There's always something going on in Twin Peaks. You seem…okay?"

Robbie looks back at her in surprise. "What do you mean by that? I am okay?"

"I just thought you'd be … drunk?" she admits to him. "I'm sure there was free champagne."

"There was but after my behaviour on New Year's Eve, I decided to not drink that much," he tells her. "Plus, having a hangover with a baby would not be fun."

"I'm proud of you," Madeline tells him. "It seems like fatherhood has changed you."

Robbie smiles back to her. "I hope so," he winks back to her. "I did find out some interesting news though."

"Oh?"

"Tyler and Kim," he locks eyes with her. "They are engaged. Kim is going to be married again," he reveals to her as Madeline's eyes open wider in surprise.

Dominick's Townhouse

"Start talking, Bryce," Frederick glares at his grandson as they face one another in the living room of Dominick's townhouse. Frederick arrived at Dominick's earlier in hopes of finding Felicia, who has gone missing from the Victors mansion. He knows that Dominick must be behind her disappearance, but no one was home when he arrived. Just then, Bryce arrived, Frederick is demanding answers from Bryce. "Where the hell is Dominick, and more importantly, where is Felicia?"

"I…I don't know," Bryce replies to him quickly. "Like I told you, I just got a message from Dominick asking me to come over and lock up the townhouse. I just assumed he was at Robertson Enterprises or something."

"Can I see the message?" Frederick asks him quickly.

"Sure," Bryce replies to him as he pulls his phone out of his pocket. He shows Dominick the text message from Dominick. "See, there is nothing here about Felicia. Is she not at the mansion?"

"No," Frederick grits his teeth back to him. "She's missing; I searched the entire property and she's gone. And I know that Dominick is behind it! So, where is she? Where is my wife?"

"I…I wish I knew," Bryce tells him quickly. "But you will find her, Frederick. If Dominick has Felicia, they can't stay away forever."

"Damn him straight to hell!" Frederick yells, as Bryce wonders where Dominick and Leah took Felicia. He wonders if this was a good idea after all as he has never see Frederick so angry; and he knows the longer Felicia is missing, the more upset Frederick will become.

Florence, Italy

On the northern side of Florence, there is a large compound with a huge mansion in the middle. The courtyard is filled with trees, grape vines, and a large fountain. The mansion, itself, is four stories tall and has over 50 rooms.

In the living room of the mansion, Dominick looks at Eva, as she pours two glasses of wine. She moves up to him and passes him one.

"Felicia is resting in her bedroom," Eva tells him before she takes a sip of her wine. "She was exhausted from the travelling."

"She will be jetlagged for a couple of days," Dominick replies to her. "I have to ask though…what is this place? Where have you brought us?"

"This home," Eva looks back at him. "This is where I lived when I was married to Ernesto. This is the Moretti estate; I don't think Frederick will ever suspect that we are here."

"I'll drink to that," Dominick replies to her as he takes a sip of his wine. "And Eva, thank you. Thank you for bringing us here because I agree, Frederick will never suspect that we are in Italy at the Moretti estate."

"And now, we can see what happens when Felicia is away from Frederick," Eva reminds him. "Because that might tell us what he has been doing with her."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"Aunt Daisy?" Trenyce's lower lip quivers as she looks at her Aunt, who just apologized to Andrew. "Why are you apologizing? What are you saying?"

"Daisy, look at me," Andrew demands as a tear falls down her cheek. "Why are you saying sorry to me?"

"I…I did it!" Daisy admits to everyone, as they gasp back in shock. "I…I changed the DNA test results! You have to understand, I…I was worried I was going to lose you, so yes, I…I changed those test results!"

Andrew looks back at her in shock as he then looks over at Trenyce, who is covering her mouth in shock. Chris then looks at Daisy and shakes his head at her.

"You bitch," he spits at her. "How could you do this? How could you turn this family upside down?"
