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!"
