Twin Peaks General Hospital

"You're not saying anything," Natasha sighs to Shane as they continue to face one another in his office at the hospital. Natasha just asked Shane if they could have a big wedding since their last wedding in the fall was just the two of them, Jacob, and Sophie; since they found out that their marriage license wasn't filed, Natasha believes this is their chance for them to have a big, splashy wedding. "Does that mean that you don't want to have a big wedding?"

"I didn't say that," Shane chuckles back to her as he grabs her hand. "It's just…well, to be honest, this isn't our first time getting married, Nat. Do we really need a big wedding? Just last fall, we had something really intimate and cozy when we married."

"You're right, we have both been down the aisle before," Natasha agrees with him. "But this will be our last time, Shane. I really believe that when you and I get married, this time, it will be forever. I don't want to lose you, not ever again."

"You won't lose me, Nat," Shane tells her.

"Then let's show all of that to all of our family and friends," Natasha replies to him. "I want this wedding, our last wedding, to be one that we will never forget."

Shane chuckles to her as he leans in and kisses her on the lips. "Then you should have a big wedding," he whispers to her as their lips part ways. "Let's have the biggest wedding this town has ever seen!"

Natasha squeals in delight as she pulls him into a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't wait to be your wife again, Shane, and this time, forever!"

 
 
***

Robin gulps as she feels some beads of sweat start to form on her forehead. She is looking at Cory as they stand outside of Penny's hospital room; she just professed her love, again, to Cory and asked him if he feels the same way. She knows that he has been telling her that his main priority is helping Penny come out of her coma, but Robin can't help but want to know how he feels about her.

"I am sorry for dumping this on you right now," Robin looks back into his eyes. "But the truth is, I do love you Cory; I've never stopped, and I don't think I ever will."

"I know, and I feel your love and support," Cory replies to her quickly. "I…I have been telling you that Penny has to be my priority right now."

"And I agree with that," Robin nods to him. "But you have to know how you feel about me? You have to be able to tell me how you feel? Can you, please?"

Cory smiles back to her. "Of course, I can. I don't think it will be a surprise to you…"

Before he can continue, Stephanie comes up to them. "Oh Cory, I'm glad you're here. We need to talk, and it can't wait."

Cory looks back at Stephanie with an arched eyebrow. "What's going on? Is Penny okay?"

"I'm not sure," Stephanie admits to him. "But we need to talk about her condition. Am I interrupting?"

Cory uneasily looks back at Robin, who nods to him. "It's fine, we can finish our talk later, Cory. This…this is important."

"Okay," Cory looks back at Stephanie. "What's going on with Penny? And how can I help?"

The State Prison

Daisy sits in the common area of the prison holding the novel that she is reading. The sun is still shining through the windows as she thinks about her visit with Dawn earlier. She wasn't expecting to see her, but when she explained that she was working on a report discussing mental health with inmates, she was happy to discuss her own experiences with Dawn. She just hopes that some positive outcomes can happen from her report and suggestions.

She looks over at the door where Dawn was escorted too following her visit. Apparently, there was another inmate that Dawn was going to interview for her report; she doesn't know who it is, but she hopes that Dawn gets the details she needs.

She looks back at the door, again, when it opens and the security guard emerges with Dawn next to him. Daisy arches her eyebrow when it appears that Dawn looks a little different. She can't place it, but she wonders if the meeting was not as successful as they thought.

Daisy watches as the guard touches Dawn's shoulder to get her to realize that they have to leave. "What is going on with Dawn?" Daisy asks herself in a whispered question.

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

As Frederick opens a bottle of wine at the bar in the living room of the Victors mansion, he gets a sly grin on his face thinking about how Bryce has travelled to Santa Barbara and the winery to check in on a project that they are working on. He hopes that while Bryce is away, he will be able to get over his feelings for Victoria, because Frederick doesn't want his grandson to be with that woman any longer.

"I'd love a glass of that wine please," Felicia announces as she comes into the room.

Frederick turns to face her with a smile on her face. "Yes, of course," he tells her, thinking that he pulled her out of her coma but has been keeping her medicated so she doesn't have a memory of her past life. He realizes that if Felicia had her memory, she would want to be back with her family, and that is not what he wants.

Before he pours some wine into a glass, he places some white powder into her glass. He pours the wine and then gives it a quick swirl, allowing the drug to absorb into the wine. "Here you go my love."

Felicia accepts the wine and they toast one another before they take a sip of their wine. "Mm, this is a lovely, just wanted I needed to help warm me up."

"Are you cold?" Frederick asks her quickly. "I could light a fire?"

"Let me see if this merlot does the trick," Felicia replies to him. "If not, then yes, a fire would be nice. Or, I could have a bubble bath."

"You have a lot of options," he smiles back to her. "You look beautiful tonight, by the way."

"Thank you," she responds to him. "You're always so sweet to me, Frederick."

"It's because I love you," he moves closer to her before he kisses her on the lips. "And we will be together forever, Felicia. You have my word on that."

"I believe you," Felicia says as they exit their embrace. "And I am happy here with you."

"Let's drink to that," he says before he takes another sip of his wine, as she does too, which makes him happy since she will drink the drugs that he is giving her.

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Will sits at the bar with a beer in front of him. His mind is racing about the fact that he had drinks with Paige, and she admitted that the Robertson's are still mourning the loss of Felicia. The trouble is, of course, is that he and Eva know that Frederick and Felicia are alive. Frederick has warned Eva about revealing the truth because it would mean that she would lose Dominick forever. Thus far, seemingly, Eva has decided not to tell anyone the truth, but after seeing how upset Paige was, Will's conscious is kicking in.

"Oh Will," Eva says as she approaches him. "I'm glad I ran into you."

Will turns to see Eva behind him. "Eva, this is a surprise. What are you doing here?"

"I was with Dominick and his family earlier," she reveals to him. "It is the one-year anniversary of Felicia's memorial service. I ordered some food and will take it back to the townhouse."

"A memorial service that never should have happened," Will whispers back to her.

"Would you keep your voice down!" Eva hisses back to him. "Frederick was right; if I tell the truth, I could lose Dominick and, to be honest, I feel like we are on the verge of reuniting."

Will feels the blood drain from his face as he has always hoped that he and Eva would get back together. "So what are you saying? You want me to continue to lie to everyone about this?"

"It's not a lie, we just aren't telling everyone what we know…"

"I'm struggling with this," Will admits to her. "I am struggling to keep this secret, Eva. Seeing Felicia's family still mourn her, and knowing that I could take that away from them, it's hard."

"I promise you this will get easier, Will," Eva tells him. "Just do this for me, okay? Please don't say anything to anyone, Will. My future depends on it."

***

At a back table, Robbie sits alone with a beer in front of him. His mind is racing over the fact that when he arrived at the restaurant, he saw Kim and Tyler in an embrace. He can't help but continue to wonder if there is something more going on between the former lovers. He knows that when they trapped in the boardroom together last fall, they came close to kissing.

This is a large part of the reason why he got drunk on New Year's Eve, because he was trying to cope with the idea that Kim might still have lingering feelings for Tyler. He ended up getting so drunk that he slept with Madeline, which he regretted in the morning. When he and Kim finally did come face to face, he lied to her about his whereabouts, and she told him, again, that nothing was going on between her and Tyler.

"If that's true, then why do I always see you two together?" he asks himself as he takes a swig of his beer. "Nah, this isn't good. Even if something isn't happening physically between you and Tyler, you still have feelings for him, Kim. Anything less then that is just a lie."

He takes another drink of his beer. "The only question is, what the hell am I going to do about it?"

"Oh good, you're both here," a panicked Abby announces to Ethan and Andrew, who are sitting at a table together. The men look back at her as the know that they both got an urgent text from Abby asking them to meet her at the restaurant; when they got there, they realized that they were both summoned. "We need to talk, it's important."

"What's going on Abby?" Ethan asks her as she sits across from him.

"Does this have anything to do with being at the Richardson mansion earlier?" Andrew asks her, as Ethan looks at him before he looks back at Abby. "Did you find out about Donovan and Sonny?"

"I did," Abby gulps back to him. "And it is worse than I ever expected."

"What is happening?" Ethan asks quickly.

"Abby and I went to see Sonny earlier, and Lukas and Victoria told us that Donovan had taken Sonny to the Caldwell's Mountain Ski resort for some children's festival," Andrew explains to the lawyer.

"That seems reasonable?"

"Something in the way they spoke to me made me question it," Abby reveals to them. "And so I went back into the mansion without anyone knowing, and I overheard Lukas and Victoria talking to another guy."

"What did they say?" Ethan asks her.

"They said," she tries to fight the tears in her eyes. "That Donovan took Sonny to prevent them from having to give me my son. Donovan has taken our son and we have no idea where they are!"

"Oh my God," Andrew gasps back to her. "There's only one thing we can do."

"What?" Abby asks him.

"We have to go to Simona Lopez," Andrew tells them. "We have to get the police involved."
