Twin Peaks General Hospital

Logan paces back and forth in the waiting room of the hospital as he tries to wrap his head around everything that has happened in the last few hours. He, finally, received a text message from his mother telling him that she and Sophie were going to the Calimo cabin and they had hoped he would join them. Meggan had wanted some time away to cope with Lukas' decision to leave town. Logan, despite the blizzard, drove the cabin, but when he arrived, the cabin was empty, but he also saw a few bottles of alcohol that Meggan had consumed. He realized that the women must have left the cabin, which is shocking to him considering the snowstorm.

He knew that there was a snow mobile in the shed, so he was able to use that to get around he grounds, and, thankfully, he found Meggan and an unconscious Sophie. At the same time, using the emergency feature on his phone, Meggan was able to call for help. It was still about 45 minutes before the ambulance arrived at the cabin; in the meantime, he got Sophie and Meggan by the fire, but Sophie remained conscious.

Now, he is just waiting for an update on Sophie and Meggan's health. "If anything happens to Sophie, it will be my fault," he whispers to himself. "Please God, don't let anything happen to either of them, please let them be okay."

 
 

The Calimo Mansion

Tyler feels the blood drain from his face as he listens to Madeline explain that she has been raising Kim's baby as her own because she lied to her about having a miscarriage after their car accident earlier in the year. He finds his head spinning at the revelation.

"I…I don't understand any of this," Tyler finally breaks the silence between them. "How is this possible?"

"I…I told you that this was shocking," Madeline looks back at him. "But it is the truth."

"How?"

"The night of the car accident," Madeline explains to him. "Kim was unconscious in her car, I pulled her from the wreckage."

"Yes, I know that! Get to the part where you took her child!"

"Keep your voice down," Madeline warns him quickly before she looks over to ensure that Bobby is still sleeping. "After I got Kim out of her car, I took her back to the Calimo cabin, and that's when it hit me. She was pregnant and I knew that if I acted quickly I could remove the child from the uterus and hide him or her from Kim. She was far enough along that the baby would be need a lot of love and attention, but I could do that."

"So, you what, induced labour?" Tyler asks her in shock, still reeling from the news.

"Yes," Madeline replies to him. "It was very simple. I delivered the child pretty seamlessly, and cleaned everything up before Kim came too. When she woke up, I told her that she miscarried and that's why she would feel some soreness. The truth is, however, I had Bobby upstairs, he was fast asleep and he was so small."

"My God," Tyler gasps back to her. "Do you have any idea the pain that you put Kim through? Do you have any idea what she's been through thinking that she lost another child?"

"That's why I left town," Madeline continues to tell him. "I needed space, but I also needed to give myself time to pretend that I could have been pregnant with Robbie's baby. The fact that Bobby was premature worked in my favor as to why he is so small still."

Tyler glares back at her. "This is insane, Madeline! I…I can't believe that you stole Kim's baby!"

"You can't say anything, Tyler, you promised me!"

"I…I know what I said," he looks back at her with intent. "But I don't think I can keep this secret, Madeline. I…I have to tell Kim that her son is alive!"

"If you do that, you will lose Kim," Madeline warns him. "That's why you will keep this secret, Tyler. Because if you don't, Robbie and Kim will reunite and your entire future will be up in smoke."

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

"It looks like the snow is finally starting to ease up," Cory tells Robin as he moves into the living room of the penthouse that he lives in. Earlier, he finally admitted to her that he and Penny had sex the night of their dinner date. Robin, naturally, was devastated, but hasn't left the penthouse yet because the weather was too bad, and she didn't want to drive.

"Thank God," Robin sighs back to him. "It seems like this has been one of the heaviest snow falls we've had in some time."

"It's true," Cory looks back at her. "Look, Robin, it's late, if you want to sleep here so you don't drive home, that's cool with me. I…I know my news earlier was pretty shocking, so if you want to sleep in the guest room, I get it."

"I will go home," Robin stands up from the sofa. "The fact of the matter is Cory, you told me that you loved me and yet, behind my back, you slept with Penny. I…I need time to get over that betrayal."

"I get it," Cory whispers back to her. "Just know that I never meant to hurt you, and I am sorry."

Before Robin can respond to him, Cory's cell phone rings. He arches his eyebrow wondering who could be calling him at this hour. "Hello," he says into his phone. "What? Is she okay? My God, yes I'll be right there."

"What is it? What's happened?"

"It's Sophie," Cory looks back at her with intent. "She's in the hospital; I have to get there now."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Paige steps off the elevator and makes a beeline towards the waiting room. She heard from Logan about what happened at the cabin so she came to support her half-brother while he waits for news on Meggan and Sophie. As she walks towards the waiting room, she happens to see Will at the nurses station, so changes her course and heads to see him.

"Hey Will," Paige says as she moves up to him. "Are you looking after Sophie or Meggan? I…I just got here after Logan called me."

"I've seen them, yea, but you'll have to wait for the doctor to give the family the update," he replies to her quickly. "I can't share medical information without the family present."

"Okay, I just hope they are okay."

"How are you? How are things with the baby?"

Paige pauses and looks at her growing stomach. "Everything is on track," she admits to him. "But I have made a decision."

Will arches his eyebrow back to her. "What kind of decision?"

"I've decided to give the baby up for adoption," she reveals to him as Will looks back at her in surprise. "After everything that has happened between you and I, I don't think I should raise this child, but I am too far along to end the pregnancy all together. So, I will give it up for adoption to a family that wants a child."

"I…I don't know what to say," Will admits to her. "I wish you had spoken to me about this first."

"It's my decision," Paige informs him. "I'm just telling you out of respect. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find Logan."

***

Meanwhile, in Stephanie's office, her heated confrontation with Cassie continues to unfold. Cassie just revealed that she knows that Stephanie is a transgendered woman, meaning she was born a man, Stefan, and she is threatening to tell Jacob if she doesn't back off her husband.

"I'm warning you Cassie, get out of my office, or I will call security," Stephanie warns her. "And for the record, I don't think Jacob would care about my transition; we are friends, that's all. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that!"

"Fine," Cassie nods back to her. "Jacob might be supportive, that's fair. But what about your patients? Do you think they'd care? I'm just telling you, Stephanie, that if you don't leave my husband alone, I will make your life a living hell."

"I won't let you bully me," Stephanie sneers back at her. "Now, get out of my office, before I throw you out!"

Cassie giggles back to her. "I'm leaving, but remember what I said…Stefan. I will ruin your life if you want me too."

***

Daisy and Cheresa wait outside of a hospital room still reeling from everything that happened. Daisy realized that Tara must have brainwashed Dawn, which is why she had been acting oddly. Daisy shared this with theory with Trenyce, and they used an app to find Dawn's location. They raced to the Lawson storage locker, where they stopped Dawn from killing Cheresa, who was tied to a chair in the locker room. Trenyce attacked Dawn to stop her from shooting anyone, but Dawn was able to knock Trenyce out. Daisy, however, got the gun and tied Dawn up. Once that happened, Daisy untied Cheresa and they called 9-1-1, where Simona arrested Dawn. They came to the hospital the hospital because Trenyce was injured by Dawn.

"This is taking too long," Cheresa whispers back to Daisy. "We should have heard something about Mom, don't you think?"

"It's been a long night," Daisy replies to her. "We've actually only been here about 10 minutes, Cheresa. It just feels like longer."

"I can't believe that Dawn was going to kill me and all of us," Cheresa's lower lip quivers. "How could she do that?"

"I think it was Tara's fault," Daisy reveals to her. "I think Tara must have brainwashed her when Dawn was working on her report."

"It would explain a lot," Cheresa tells her. "Because she admitted to me that killed Chantel; the woman that I fell in love with, would never hurt anyone."

"We will get Dawn help, and until we do, she's in police custody," Daisy says back to her. "We are all going to be fine."

"I hope so," Cheresa lets a tear fall down her cheek. "I just want this nightmare to be over."

***

Frederick slowly opens the door to Meggan's hospital room and moves inside. Meggan looks over at her father and gets a small grin on her face, as she wasn't expecting him to come by and support her.

"I heard about what happened," Frederick tells his daughter as he moves up to her. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine," Meggan replies to him quickly. "I just hope that Sophie is okay."

"How long do you think she was outside?"

"Long enough," Meggan sighs back to him. "If anything happens to her, it will be my fault."

"Why would you say that?" Frederick asks her. "You didn't force her to leave the cabin."

"No, I didn't," Meggan uneasily looks back at him. "But the truth is, she left because of how much I was drinking. She was uncomfortable and I didn't care. Oh, Dad, what have I done?"

"You'll get through this," Frederick grabs Meggan's hand and squeezes it. "You always do, and now, I'm here to help you, with anything."

***

"Where is my daughter?" Natasha asks as she storms into the waiting room and sees Cory, Paige, and Logan huddled together. Cory rushes up to his former wife and pulls her into a hug. "What happened?"

"Sophie and my Mom were at the cabin," Logan moves up to Sophie's parents, who exit their embrace. "I'm not sure why, but Sophie left the cabin."

"She left in the blizzard?" Cory asks him in surprise. "Something must have happened…"

"My mom had been drinking," Logan reveals to them. "So maybe Sophie needed a break? I don't know. What I do know is that when I got to the cabin, no one was inside. So, I realized that Sophie and my Mom must have left the cabin, despite the snowstorm. So, I used the snow mobile, and I was able to find them. Sophie…she had been knocked conscious."

"How long had she been out in the snow?" Natasha asks in horror.

"I don't know," Logan admits, as Stephanie moves into the waiting room.

"Hi everyone," the doctor announces. "I'm Sophie's doctor."

"How is she?" Cory asks Stephanie quickly. "What is going on with our daughter?"

"She is experiencing extreme hypothermia," Stephanie reveals to him. "I'm taking her into the operating room shortly."

"A surgery? What kind of surgery?" Natasha asks her quickly.

"It is a blood rewarming procedure," Stephanie explains. "We need to get her warm as soon as possible, so while we rewarm her blood, we will have her covered in heating pads, in hopes of getting her back to a normal temperature."

"Do whatever you can to save my daughter," Natasha pleads her with. "We can't lose Sophie, we can't lose our daughter," she says as Cory grabs her hand and squeezes it.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

A new day has come to Twin Peaks and the sun is coming through the window of Shane's office at the hospital. He got to the hospital early because he knew that Sophie had been admitted the previous night after she was rendered unconscious in the blizzard at the cabin. He knows that Natasha is worried sick about her daughter, which he can understand. Still, he has made some decisions and he knows that he has to talk to Natasha about them sooner than later.

"Hey, thanks for letting me use your private shower," Natasha announces as she comes out of the washroom that is attached to Shane's office. Being the CEO, he has a private washroom, including a shower, in his office, which is a perk. "I was here all night waiting for another update on Sophie."

"Have you heard if the rewarming of the blood was a success?" Shane asks her as he stands up from his desk.

"I was just about to go find Cory and Stephanie and see if there's an update," Natasha reveals to him. "I just pray that everything worked."

"Any idea on what happened?"

"Not as of yet," Natasha sighs. "But if Meggan was around, I guarantee you she was drinking, and if she had anything, and I mean, anything to do with Sophie's accident, she will answer to me."

"I understand that," Shane replies to her. "By the way, I know this isn't the best time, but I have made a decision, and I wanted you to hear it from me."

"What decision? Something about Sophie? Do you know something I don't?"

Shane shakes his head back to her. "This is about you and me, and our marriage, and Louie."

"Louie?" Natasha asks him quickly. "I thought he left town?"

"As far as I know he did," Shane tells her. "But I am still struggling with the fact that you brought him into our lives, as you know. And so, I've made a decision. I'm…I'm going to move out of the mansion."

"What? No, Shane, please, I told you, the mansion is so huge, you could stay anywhere. Please…please don't do this."

"I'm sorry," Shane looks back at her. "But I need some time, Natasha. I know you have a lot going on, so I don't want this to be a bigger issue, but please respect my decision in this. Because I'm not going to change my mind."

 
 

Twin Peaks Police Station

"Morning," Donovan knocks on Sergio's office door at the Twin Peaks Police Station and moves inside, holding a takeout bag from the Sugarbowl. "I brought you a muffin and coffee from the Sugarbowl. I figured after last night's storm, you'd be slammed today with traffic issues."

"You don't know the half of it," he chuckles as he stands up and accepts the food from Donovan. "Thanks, Donovan, this is nice."

"I know you said that you needed time and space," Donovan replies to him, recalling how after Sergio discovered that he slept with Lukas during the custody trial, he told him that he needed time to figure out if he could forgive him, but Donovan wanted to reach out and make the first move. "But I thought this was a gesture to show you that I still care; and that I am very, very sorry for what happened."

"I am not there yet," Sergio admits to him. "But I appreciate it none the less. What is new with you?"

Donovan sits across from Sergio and smiles. "I…I actually saw Olly last night," Donovan reveals to him. "And it was amazing."

"You saw Olly?" Sergio asks before he takes a bite of the muffin. "Is that a good idea?"

"I wasn't sure at first," Donovan admits to him. "But Max told me that he was struggling, and I will do anything to help my son…er… you know what I mean, to adjust to this new way of life."

"I'm impressed," Sergio tells him quickly. "How did the visit go?"

"Just to be around him again, it was amazing," Donovan says. "I know it can't be that way all the time, but if I can help him navigate this, then I will. I…I just want the best for him."

"You've been a good father to him," Sergio reminds him. "I'm proud of you, Donovan. It wasn't easy for you, but you did the right thing."

"Thanks," Donovan winks back at him. "Hopefully a sign that I can make things right between us again."

The Tower's; Floor One; Andy & Nicholas' Condo

"You got home pretty late last night from drinks with Jarrod," Andy tells Nicholas before he takes a sip of his coffee as they sit across from one another at the dinning room table in their condo together. Andy knows that the previous night Nicholas met with Jarrod to try to get answers about how and why he faked his death for so many years. "I guess the two of you had a lot to talk about?"

"We did," Nicholas nods back to him, as he recalls how Jarrod explained that Melissa manipulated him into faking his death. After the explanation, Jarrod kissed Nicholas and asked for forgiveness and the ability to move forward together. "We also wanted to wait out the blizzard so we weren't driving in that snow."

"Makes sense," Andy chuckles back to him. "How did it go? I've been curious to know what Jarrod had to say."

"He explained a lot to me," Nicholas reveals to him. "He was just as much of a victim of my mother's as you and I have been; she told him that I shouldn't see him die that way, and she convinced him to fake his death. But, he did continued to tell me that he acted on his own free will. He took a lot of ownership."

"I can't believe that your mother would stoop this low," Andy sighs. "Wait, this is Melissa we are talking about, of course she was involved in this. I'm sorry though; I can't be easy hearing that your mom played a hand in your heartbreak."

"Thanks," Nicholas forces a smile on his face. "It does hurt, but with her back in Boston, I don't think I will have to see her again."

"Which is for the best," Andy tells him. "So….now that you and Jarrod have spoken, where do you go from here?"

Nicholas shrugs back to him. "I actually have no idea," Nicholas admits to him. "I have no clue what my next moves will be, but I have to figure this out."

The Calimo Mansion

Robbie moves into the living room of the mansion and sees Madeline looking into the garden from the French doors. He wonders what she is thinking about since he knows that she has shared that she might be suffering with postpartum depression since giving birth to their son, Bobby.

"A lot of snow out there, huh?" Robbie chuckles as he moves to the bar to grab some orange juice.

"I don't think I've seen so much snow fall in one night," Madeline turns to face him. "I am just glad that we were home safe and sound and not driving in the snow."

"That's why I got home later," Robbie explains to her. "I didn't want to drive in the storm."

"That makes sense," Madeline nods back to him. "I had company anyways."

Robbie arches his eyebrow back to her. "You had a visitor? Who came out to the mansion to see you in the storm?"

"Tyler," Madeline reveals to him as Robbie's eyes open wider in surprise. "But don't worry, we were just catching up. We hadn't had the chance to talk, really, since I've been back because we've been busy with Bobby."

"That's fair," Robbie tells her. "And don't worry, I am not upset, I am glad tha you have friends, Madeline. Especially with everything you're going through; you need all the support you can get."

Madeline puts a smile on her face. "Thanks Robbie, I think I'll be fine. Actually, I know I will be."

Tyler's Townhouse

Tyler stares into the flames of the fireplace, which is roaring this morning. He wanted a fire to keep himself, and the townhouse, warmer today because of the blizzard the previous night. As he looks at the crackling flames, he can't help but think about the previous night with his visit Madeline. She admitted to him that the reason she is struggling is because the night of her car accident with Kim, she induced Kim's labour, stole her son, and has been raising him as her own, all the while telling Kim that she miscarried. When he told her that he had to tell Kim the truth, Madeline threatened him by saying if he told the truth, he would lose Kim as she would reunite with Robbie.

"You look so deep in thought this early in the morning," Kim chuckles to him as she comes out of the kitchen in her robe and holding a cup of coffee. "Penny for your thoughts?"

Tyler snaps back into reality and looks back at his fiancé. "Sorry, I guess I was daydreaming."

"You got home late last night from the mansion; did your visit with Madeline go okay?"

Tyler gulps heavily back to her. "Yea, it was…fine," he manages to reply. "And Bobby is very cute."

"I'm glad that you two are still friends," Kim tells him. "Because if what Robbie said is true, if she is still struggling with something, she needs all the support she can get."

"She is struggling, that's for sure," Tyler replies to her quickly almost immediately regretting what he said.

"What did Madeline say to you?" Kim asks him. "What is she struggling with?"

"I'm sorry," Tyler shakes his head back to her. "I…I said too much. I don't want to betray her confidence. I…I hope that's okay."

"Of course," Kim nods back to him. "I shouldn't have asked; I can respect your privacy with Madeline. Its what makes you a good friend."

"Thanks," Tyler forces a smile on his face as he looks back at her, realizing that it will be more difficult than ever to keep this secret from his fiancé.

The Sugarbowl

Donovan opens the door to the coffeehouse and scurries inside. After dropping off the goodies for Sergio, he realized that he wanted another latte to warm him up. He moves to the barista and orders his drink. Once he's done, he moves to the side, where he stumbles into someone else.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Donovan says in embarrassment. "I…I lost my balance a little."

"Hey man, it's all good," Jarrod looks back at him as they eyes lock. "Good thing I am solid on my feet."

Donovan chuckles back to him. "I'm Donovan Moretti, I don't think we've met before?"

"That's correct, I am new in town," Jarrod replies to him. "I'm Jarrod…Jarrod Miler"

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Jarrod," Donovan winks back at him. "It's not every day I meet a good-looking man."

Jarrod winks back to him. "Funny enough, I was just thinking the same thing."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I just heard from Stephanie, and I am getting discharged this morning," Meggan tells Logan and Frederick as they look at her as she lays in the hospital bed. Meggan had to stay in the hospital overnight as a precaution, but she they have cleared her to leave this morning. "So this nightmare is over. Have you heard how Sophie is doing?"

"The family was still waiting to hear this morning," Logan tells his mother quickly. "They were going to do a blood rewarming procedure last night, which is supposed to help with the hypothermia."

"That sounds serious?" Meggan asks quickly. "I…I hope it works."

"What happened, Mom?" Logan asks her quickly, as Frederick arches his eyebrow. "Why did Sophie leave the cabin in the blizzard?"

Meggan shakes her head back to him. "It's a long story," she admits to her son. "Right now, let's focus on Sophie, and once we know that she will be okay, I can explain it all to you."

Just then, Frederick's phone pings. "Excuse me for a moment," he says as he moves into the corner of the room and looks at his incoming text message. He reads the message and gets a grin on his face.

Inside his head, he tells himself, "Good, the PI that I hired is already looking into where Felicia could have disappeared too, and what Dominick had to do with it. I have to be here for Meggan but I will get my wife back, even if it's the last thing I do."

***

"Have you heard from Stephanie yet this morning?" Natasha asks Cory as she moves into the waiting room and pulls her former husband into a quick hug.

"Not yet, but I am thinking we will hear soon," Cory tells her as they exit their embrace.

"God, I hope this procedure worked," Natasha says back to him. "The waiting is killing me, Cory."

"I know, me too," Cory sighs back to her. "But out daughter, she's strong, I have to believe that she will be fine."

Just then, Stephanie comes into the waiting room and looks at Sophie's parents. "Good, you're both here, I have news on Sophie."

"How is she?" Cory asks her quickly.

"The good news is that the blood rewarming procedure worked," Stephanie reveals as the parents breathe a sigh of relief. "Sophie should make a full recovery."

"Thank God," Natasha grabs Cory's hand and squeezes it. "What a relief."

"Wait," Cory looks back at Stephanie. "You said good news? What is the bad news?"

Stephanie gulps back to him. "The baby; it didn't make it."

"Baby?" Natasha asks in surprise. "What baby?"

"Sophie must not have told you," Stephanie reveals to them. "But she was pregnant, and the ordeal caused her to have a miscarriage."

"Oh my God," Natasha covers her mouth in shock as Cory puts his hands on her shoulders, reeling from the news that their daughter was pregnant but has lost her child.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I…I just can't believe that our little girl was pregnant and she didn't tell us," Natasha tells Cory as they walk through the hospital as they head towards Sophie's room. They just found out from Stephanie that Sophie, should, make a full recovery, but that she miscarried her baby. The parents were rattled as they didn't know that Sophie was pregnant; and they have no idea who the father of the child could be.

"I know," Cory sighs back to her. "I am having a hard time processing the fact that our daughter is a young woman now and having sex. I…I still picture her being in diapers."

Natasha chuckles back to him. "Me too," she admits to him. "You know she's going to be devastated by this."

"It's good that we are here together," Cory says. "We can support her through this time."

"Speaking of support," Natasha stops and looks at her former husband. "Why isn't Robin here? I thought she'd be by your side while you wait for information on Sophie."

Cory runs his hands through his hair as he thinks about how admitted to Robin that he and Penny slept together before she went back to Holdenville. The news upset her to the point where she isn't sure if they have a future together anymore.

"I made a huge mistake with Robin," Cory finally answers Natasha. "I'm not sure if she will forgive me or if we have a future together at all."

Natasha pulls him into a hug. "You two have been through so much together," she whispers to him. "Have faith that this is just another touch moment and that you will come out on the other side."

"Thanks Nat," Cory says as they exit their embrace. "Come on, let's go see our daughter."

 
 

The River Rock Casino; The Spa

On the fourth floor of the casino, there is a lavish spa where guests can get massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, use the steam rooms, the plunge pools, and the regular pool. Today, however, the main entrance has is being transformed into a catwalk for the upcoming launch of Robertson Enterprises' bath line, "RELax". On both sides of the catwalk, there are two large TV screens so the audience members will be able to see all of the fashion and products, no matter where they are seated. The event will also be livestreamed for those not able to attend.

"Jeff and Victoria are around here somewhere, and I need to find them," Robin tells Leah as they look around the room. "I need to know where to put the bubble machines."

"Bubble machines? Leah asks with an arched eyebrow.

"Yea, they thought it would give the bath theme a boost to have bubbles," Robin chuckles back to her.

"I know I don't work for Robertson right now, but if you need help, I can."

"Thanks, once I find Jeff and Victoria, I'm sure everything will be fine. Those two have put this together all by themselves."

"Trust me, I know," Leah sighs back to her. "The number of late night's Jeff has had has been troubling."

"You two are still okay, aren't you?" Robin asks her sister quickly.

"I wish I could say yes, but I don't know," Leah admits to her. "We have grown apart, that I know, but I am hoping we can get back on track after this launch and once he is away from that viper."

"I hope so too, Leah. You two, you belong together," Robin says.

"What about Cory? Is he coming to the launch?"

"I'm not sure," Robin admits to him. "With Sophie in the hospital, that is his concern. And frankly, I'm not sure that I want him here."

"Why would you say that?"

"He slept with Penny behind my back," Robin admits to her. "Just when I thought we were on the same page and doing good, he goes and cheats on me! I…I'm too old for this back and forth."

"I am sorry Robin," Leah tells her quickly. "But like you just told me about Jeff, I think you and Cory belong together, so don't give up on him, not yet, not until you've tried your best to work through this."

***

Meanwhile, in the changing room, Victoria and Jeff are looking at the various models as they are walking around in the RELax robes and underwear line that Trenyce created.

"I wish that Trenyce was here for this," Jeff tells Victoria. "It's scary that she's in the hospital right now."

"I know but she would want the show to go on," Victoria replies to him. "Besides, we are so close to having all of this amazing work we've done be showcased to the world!"

"I am excited too," Jeff chuckles back to her. "But part of me is sad. "

"Why are you sad?"

"That we won't have this an excuse to spend so much time together," Jeff winks back at her. "You know how much I have enjoyed it."

Victoria giggles back to him. "Me too, so I guess that means we will just have to get creative on how you can spend hours making love to me moving forward."

"Hours, huh?"

"You heard me," she purrs back to him before she playfully swats his chest.

The Sugarbowl

Abby sits in the back booth of the coffeehouse with a large coffee in front of her. Her mind is racing over the fact that the previous night Ethan told her that she might have choose which family she wanted to be with her: him and Georgina or Max and Olly. She doesn't think that this is fair as she just got her son back; she doesn't want to lose him again.

"There you are," Ethan says as he sits across from her, also with a coffee in his hand. "You left so early, before I was even awake."

"I know, I needed some time to clear my head," she admits to him before she takes a sip of her coffee.

"Do I even have to ask what you're thinking about?" Ethan asks her quickly.

"Your ultimatum," Abby sneers at him. "I…I can't believe you would want me to choose between you and our daughter and Max and Olly. That's not fair, Ethan, and you know it."

"I'm sorry," Ethan shrugs back to her. "I am just getting tired of feeling like you're putting their needs ahead of me and Georgina. I'm sure that we can come up with some sort of compromise?"

"Yea we are," Abby looks back at him with intent. "Because I have two children and I will not be made to choose between them, so you are going to have to learn to understand and respect that."

Before Ethan can respond, Abby's cell phone pings. She looks at the screen and feels her heart drop. "Oh my God," she says.

"What is it?" Ethan asks her quickly.

"It's Cheresa…I have to go see my sister, she needs me," Abby tells him, having just gotten a message about the horrible ordeal that Cheresa went through the previous night.

Twin Peaks Police Station

"How is Dawn doing this morning?" Cheresa asks Simona as she sits in the detective's office. Cheresa knows that her girlfriend had to spend the night in jail after she tried to kill her, Daisy, and Trenyce. Cheresa knows, however, that if Daisy's theory about Tara brainwashing Dawn is true, then it wasn't her fault.

"She's still sleeping," Simona replies to her. "I think she was exhausted from everything that happened."

"When can we get a doctor to see her?" Cheresa asks her next. "Because if my Aunt Daisy's theory is true, then Dawn, she's not in her right mind."

Simona arches her eyebrow back to her. "And you really believe that Tara, who is in a state jail, brainwashed Dawn into doing these horrible acts?"

"I do," Cheresa nods back to her. "The woman that I love would not have killed Chantel, she would not have kidnapped me, and she would not have tried to kill me, my mother and my Aunt. Tara brainwashing her is the only thing that makes sense."

"I will ask that a doctor check her out, but I have to warn you Cheresa," Simona says back to her. "If this brainwashing story doesn't pan out, Dawn is going to be in a lot of trouble. A murder charge is very serious and she will go to jail for a very long time."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I don't believe any of this," Chris admits to Daisy and Andrew as he paces back and forth in the waiting room of a hospital. He and Andrew arrived at the hospital in the morning after Daisy told them about her and Trenyce saving Cheresa from a crazed Dawn; in the process, however, Dawn was able to bash Trenyce's head into the concrete until she was rendered unconscious. "Dawn tried to kill you all? And she knocked Trenyce out? But why?"

"Like I was saying," Daisy replies to him quickly. "When Dawn was working on her report for mental health, she visited Tara, who was in a secured area of the prison, meaning they were alone together."

"I remember you telling me that you had seen Tara," Andrew recalls as he looks at his estranged fiancé. While he is still furious with her for switching Albertinah's DNA test results, he knows that none of that matters while Trenyce is in the hospital.

"Yes, and I think she brainwashed Dawn," Daisy continues to explain to everyone. "It would explain why Dawn started acting so oddly after."

"Jesus," Chris says. "And now Trenyce could be in serious jeopardy because of this! Damn that woman!"

"I just want to thank you both for being here," Daisy admits to her family. "I know the night of the engagement party was difficult, but it means a lot that you can all be here while we wait."

Andrew and Chris look at one another uneasily before they look back at Daisy. "We are still family, and Trenyce's health has to come first," Chris tells her. "I just hope we get good news soon."

Meanwhile, Cory and Natasha open the door to Sophie's hospital room and move inside. Sophie, who is awake, turns over and sees her parents coming towards her.

"Mom, Dad," Sophie whispers to them. "What…what happened?"

"You tripped at the cabin while in a storm," Cory tells her as they sit next to her.

"The blizzard, oh my God, I remember," Sophie says in a panic.

"It's okay now," Natasha tells her daughter. "You're safe, and the doctors were able to treat you for hypothermia. You're going to be fine, that's all that matters."

"I still feel cold," Sophie whispers to them.

"You will get back to normal in no time," Cory says. "But Soph, we do have some news."

"What?"

"The doctor," Natasha grabs Sophie's hand. "She told us that you were pregnant, and baby, I'm sorry, but the baby, it didn't make it."

"What?" Sophie gasps as tears flood her eyes. The thought of her baby being dead hits her like a ton of bricks; she was just getting used to the idea of being a mother, and she was excited to tell Logan the news. Now, all of that has been ripped away from her. "Oh my God! My baby!"

"We are so sorry darling," Natasha tells her quickly.

"We didn't even know…" Cory replies to her. "But we are here for you."

"I hadn't even told Logan about the baby yet, that's why I didn't tell you," Sophie says as a tear falls down her cheek.

"Logan?" Natasha asks in shock. "Logan Richardson was the father of your baby?" she asks as Sophie nods as another tear falls down her cheek and Natasha looks at Cory in shock.
