The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas, Donovan, Logan, & Olly's Home

Lukas feels the blood drain from his face as his housekeeper, Gloria, reveals to him that Abby and Andrew are at the front door looking to speak to him. He was just telling Victoria, and Sergio, that he was worried about Abby coming to see Olly because she would discover that Donovan might have kidnapped him so they wouldn't have to turn him over to her. The fact that Abby is now at the mansion worries him to no extent because if she finds out that they believe Donovan has kidnapped Olly, all hell will break loose.

Victoria, who was summoned by her brother-in-law to help find Donovan, looks at Lukas and nods her head to him. "We can handle this," she tells him quickly. "We can cover, okay?"

Lukas gulps heavily as Victoria looks at Sergio. "We will handle this, you, in the meantime, have to find out where Donovan could have gone. We have to find my brother as soon as possible."

"I'm on it," Sergio replies to her. "I'll make a short list of places I think he could be based on a map of Twin Peaks."

"Come on," Victoria grabs Lukas' hand. "Follow my lead, okay?"

"I'm worried," Lukas admits to her.

"Don't be, we have to stay cool, or they will realize that something is going on," Victoria coaches him as they move towards the foyer, where they can see Abby and Andrew waiting for them.

"Oh good, you're home," Abby says as they approach her. "We were hoping to see our son; we want to see Sonny."

"I've told you before," Lukas hisses back at her. "You have to call him Olly; it's the only name he has ever known. You going around calling him Sonny is only going to confuse my little boy."

"My little boy," Abby corrects him as Andrew puts his hand on her shoulder. "Where is he?"

"I'm afraid you've missed him," Victoria looks back at her. "That's what happens when you don't call in advance. Donovan and Olly, they are spending a couple days at Caldwell's Mountain resort; there was a children's festival there, and they thought it would be fun to go."

"A children's festival?" Andrew asks her with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, Google it, it's very popular," Victoria replies to him. "We are happy to arrange a visit with you, but you should call first to ensure this doesn't happen again."

"I will be back to see my son," Abby tells them. "Mark my words."

"Come on Abs, let's go," Andrew whispers to her as they turn to leave. They exit the house and while standing outside, Abby sighs to him.

"Something isn't right," Abby tells him. "I can't place it, but I can tell that they are keeping something from me."

"What could it be? Why would they lie to you?"

"Because they don't want me to be in Sonny's life! I'm…I'm not going to stand for this!" Abby sneers. "I'm going to go inside and see if I figure this out."

"You're on your own Abs, I don't want to get caught breaking and entering, but let me know if you figure anything out," Andrew tells her as he moves towards his vehicle.

Abby looks back at the house and arches her eyebrow. "How can I get inside and find out what they are keeping from me?"

 
 
The Calimo Mansion

"How is any of this possible?" a flabbergasted Natasha asks Shane as she storms into the living room of the Calimo mansion. She throws her jacket and purse down on the sofa and moves to the bar to make herself a drink. She was on her way to the office when Shane returned home and revealed to her that he got a phone call from Reverend Ross, who informed him that there was an issue filing their marriage license, which means their marriage is invalid. "We aren't married?"

"That's what the Reverend said," Shane sighs back to her as she takes a sip of her vodka beverage.

"What the hell happened?"

"I guess there is a time frame as to when the marriage license can be filed with the state," Shane informs her quickly. "Our license was, somehow, missed and that's why he called. He came across the un-filed license and wanted us to know."

"I can't believe it," Natasha shakes her head back to him. "All these months, we have thought we were married again, and we aren't."

"Hey," Shane moves up to her and looks her in the eyes. "We are still together, right? The only thing that has changed is our titles, and we can change that, we can have another wedding, Nat."

Natasha forces a smile on her face. "You're right, you're right," she says as she kisses him. "We can still be together forever, it's just a minor hiccup."

The Sugarbowl

Jacob sits at the back booth of the coffee house with a large coffee in front of him. His mind is racing over everything that has happened over the last few months; he learned that Isabelle lied about her miscarriage and blackmailed Cassie into leaving town because she threatened to lie to everyone that Cassie pushed her down the stairs. As a result, Cassie left town with Carter, and he missed months of being with his son, and possibly Cassie.

He looks up when he sees Cassie and Isabelle walk into the coffee house together. He knows that this isn't normal, but he asked them both to come and see him today so he could relay the same message once.

"Ladies, please sit," Jacob says as they approach the back table. Isabelle and Cassie uneasily look at one another before Isabelle moves into the booth first and then Cassie sits next to her. "Thanks for coming, I know you weren't expecting this."

"I guess it shows that we both care for you," Isabelle purses her lips together. "We want to hear what you have to say."

"For once, I agree with Isabelle," Cassie admits to him. "We do want to hear what you have to say."

Jacob sighs before he looks back at them. "This hasn't been easy for me," he reveals to them. "Finding out the behind the scenes backstabbing that has gone on, all because both of you claim to love me… it's unsettling."

"You have to understand…" Cassie starts to object to his statement.

"No, you have to understand," Jacob cuts her off and looks back at them with intent. "You're not innocent in this Cassie, and Isabelle, you certainly are not. And as a result, I need you both to respect my decision for space and time to get my head together on this. I don't want either of you to approach me if you see me alone; when I need time, it is away from both of you, okay?"

The two women gulp heavily as they nod back to Jacob, both rattled by his statement.

At the window, Jeff sits looking at his phone with a latte in front of him. His mind is racing over the fact that the previous day, he saw Meggan drinking in the morning. He pleaded with her to stop as he felt like her drinking was getting out of control. He told Leah as much, who told him that he should try, again, to speak to Meggan about it. What is more troubling to him, however, is that Logan saw him and Meggan talking, and his son accused Jeff of being part of the reason Meggan is drinking again.

"Was I torn between Leah and Meggan for a number of years?" he whispers to himself. "Yes, I was, but that's not why Meggan is drinking; she's drinking because she has a problem, a disease."

The words of Logan telling him he is part of the reason Meggan is drinking continue to haunt him, however. He looks at his phone and dials a number. "Meggan, it's me," he says into her voicemail. "I know we had a heated exchange the other day, but I am hoping that I got through to you; please, please tell me that you'll stop drinking. Please, promise me you'll get help before anyone else gets hurt."

He hangs up the call and takes a sip of his latte, wondering what it will take to get through to his former wife within regards to her drinking.

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Sophie moves into the restaurant looking to grab a light lunch before she will head back to Roboto. As she moves into the restaurant, however, she sees Logan sitting by himself at the bar. She finds herself moving up to her friend and sitting next to him.

"Logan, hey," she says as she moves into the open bar stool. "How are you?"

Logan sighs back to her as he lifts his beer. "It's lunch and I'm having a drink, so I guess that well?"

Sophie chuckles back to him. "Do you want to talk about it? You've helped me in some situations before, I don't mind returning the favor."

"You're sweet," he replies before he takes a sip of his beer. "The truth is, my mother is a mess right now."

"Ah, I see."

"She's still drinking…I mean, a lot," he admits to her. "I don't know what it will take to get her to stop, or if she even wants to stop."

"That is always the first step, they have to admit they have a problem," Sophie tells him. "So in the meantime, all you can do is be there to support her, whether in a good way or trying to make her see her actions are hurtful."

Logan uneasily nods back to her. "I guess I can do that. Or at least try."

Chantel sits at a table with a chicken ceasar salad in front of her. She wanted to get out of the hospital for lunch as a change of scenery, so she came to the Pink Flamingo. Besides, her mind is still racing over the fact that she asked Cheresa if they could have the chance to be together now that Dawn has dumped her and left town because she learned of their affair.

Just as she takes a bite of the salad, she sees Cheresa move into the restaurant. They make eye contact, and soon, her former lover is approaching her table.

"Looks like we had the same idea for lunch," Cheresa announces as she reaches her table. "Do you mind if I join you?"

"I'd like that," Chantel smiles back to her. "Please, have a seat."

"Thanks," Cheresa replies to her as she sits across from her. "I'm glad that I ran into you, actually."

"You are?" Chantel asks her as she tries not to get her hopes up about the idea of them having a relationship together. "What's going on?"

"I, uh, happened to see something the other day and I'm a little confused by it, actually," Cheresa admits to her.

"What did you see?"

"Dawn," Cheresa reveals to her. "She was in Shane's office, and I have no idea why."

"You didn't stop and say hi?"

"No," Cheresa shakes her head back to her. "I was late for an appointment and couldn't stop. I…I haven't seen her again, but some reason, Dawn is back in Twin Peaks, and I have no idea why or for how long she is here."

The Davenport House; Trenyce, BJ, & Albertinah's Home

"I was looking forward to hearing about your visit with Daisy," Trenyce says to Andrew as he moves into the living room of the Davenport house. After he left the Richardson mansion, he raced over here to tell Trenyce and Chris about his recent trip to the prison where he saw Daisy.

"Yea, I know you wanted to hear," he replies to her before he looks over at Chris. "Hey Chris."

"Andrew," Chris says back to him. "I guess you should hear this from me; I…I agreed to drop the custody case until we can help Daisy. Trenyce made a pretty passionate plead to me, and I agreed; the main focus we need to have, as a family, is Daisy."

"I can't thank you enough for that, Chris," Trenyce tells him.

"Yea, that's a solid on you man," Andrew smiles back to him. "The last thing Trenyce needs right now is to be worried about Albertinah, and you made the right decision based on what I saw at the prison."

"Why? What did Daisy say or do?" Trenyce asks in worry.

"She told me, and all of us, to keep living our lives and not focus on her," Andrew reveals to her. "I…I don't think I've ever seen her so distraught before. It's almost like she wants us to forget all about her and just move on like nothing has happened."

"We have to figure out a way to prove her innocence," Chris tells his family. "If we can get Daisy out of jail, we can solve her depression; the question is, how can we do this?"

The State Prison

Dawn slowly moves through the long hallway of the prison carrying her briefcase. It is her first trip to the prison to start finding out about how inmates are dealing with their mental health; she is excited about this project and hopes that she can make a positive impact on the prisoners and their lives while they are serving their time.

"You can meet with the inmates in here," one of the security guards tells Dawn. "With a few of higher impacted inmates, you will have one on one time with them in their cell."

"What makes them higher impact?" Dawn asks him quickly.

"The degree of the crime they committed," he replies to her. "For example, we have one woman who shot another woman multiple times. She is too high risk to be with other inmates, at least for right now."

"That's good to know," Dawn notes back to him. "Because being isolated might actually have some harmful effects. The inmates in here, I can just talk to any of them?"

"Yes, you can," he tells her. "I'll be back in a half-hour or so?"

"That sounds good, thanks," Dawn smiles back to him before she opens the door and she scans the room, which is filled with female inmates. Dawn looks at Daisy and arches her eyebrow. "Daisy Davenport, hi."

"Dawn?" Daisy asks her in surprise as she looks up from the book she is reading. "What…what are you doing here?"

"I'm doing a project to assess how inmates mental health is going," Dawn sits across from her. "I heard about your trial, I am sorry."

"Thanks," Daisy tells her quickly. "I'm fine though, so you don't need to spend your time with me."

"I don't think that's true at all," Dawn says back to her. "So tell me, how are you really doing?"
