Robertson Enterprises

"I don't think you understand what I just said," Abby says firmly into the phone that is on her desk as she sits behind the large desk in the main office of Robertson Enterprises. She is still in control of the company as Dominick is still in a coma following his stroke that he had and because she has his power of attorney, she made herself the CEO of Robertson Enterprises. "The mark ups for the new ad campaign are not good; the idea is stale and has been done a million times. You will get me a new idea by the end of the day, or you won't be allowed in the building tomorrow, do I make myself clear?"

She sighs as she slams the phone down in frustration. "Damn it, do I have to do everything around here?"

"That was pretty impressive," a voice calls out at the doorway, which causes Abby to turn and see Ethan standing there. "You are taking this position as the boss seriously, aren't you?"

"I just wish that I wasn't surrounded by idiots," Abby moves over to the bar and pours herself a glass of water. "What brings you by, Ethan? I thought we agreed that we would keep our distance from one another."

"We did," Ethan chuckles back to her. "But something happened, and I wanted you to hear it from me."

"What happened? It's not Dominick, is it?"

"No, as far as I know there's been no update on your husband," he replies to her quickly. "This has to do with me and Paige."

Abby arches her eyebrow back to him. "What is she telling you about me now? I swear, she has it out for me."

Ethan chuckles. "She's been a good friend to me, believe it or not. I was feeling, uh, down about our decision to keep our distance. And she suggested that we get away, so we went to Vegas for the weekend."

"Ah," Abby nervously gulps back to him. "Did you have fun?"

"We did," he nods back to her. "So much so that we, uh, got married! Paige and I, we eloped in Vegas."

Abby feels the blood drain from her face listening to the man that she has been fighting an attraction too is married to Paige, the woman who has been trying to ruin her life. She can't believe that Ethan is telling her that married her rival.

"I didn't see that coming," Abby admits to him as she feels her heart sink in her chest. "But I, I hope you're happy with Paige. I really do."

"You're not okay with this, are you?" Ethan asks her quickly, seeing that she's had a change in her mood.

"I am married to Dominick," Abby forces a smile on her face. "I don't have any reason not to be happy for you, Ethan. And you're my friend, so I want you to be happy."

Ethan nods back to her. "The marriage took me by surprise too but maybe this is what I needed right now, you know?"

"I get it," Abby nods back to him. "I really get it."

The River Rock Casino

Andrew slowly walks down the stairs of the casino with an envelope in his hands. He recalls how Daisy, recently, gave him more money to pay off the remainder of the loan that he took out from Antonio all those months ago. He still hates that he took money from Antonio for the sole purpose of gambling more; he knows that he was using the blackjack table as a way to try to forget his feelings for Trenyce. When he first tried to repay Antonio, he claimed that Andrew still owed interest on the original loan, so Daisy, who had been selling her body for money, met with a couple more John's and gave him money to finish paying off the loan.

He just hopes that once the loan has been paid in full, he and Daisy can leave the casino and not look back. He wants to ensure that Daisy doesn't have to sell her body for money going forward, especially not for him.

"Once I pay back Antonio, this nightmare will be over," he whispers to himself as he stops outside of Antonio's office. "Then Daisy and I can leave this hell and never look back."

He knocks on the door and then hears a faint "come in", so he opens the door and moves inside.

"Antonio," Andrew announces as he looks at the casino owner. "I come bearing gifts."

Antonio stands up and looks at Andrew with an arched eyebrow. "You brought me something? What could that be?"

"This," Andrew throws the envelope down on the desk. "It's the interest that I owed you on the loan. It's all there, Antonio. I finally have paid back the loan in full."

Antonio chuckles back to him. "I have no idea where you're getting this cash, but I am impressed that you are so resourceful. There's only one small problem, Andrew."

"What's that?"

"There will always be more interest on the interest owed," Antonio smirks back to him. "You will never be able to fully pay back this loan as there is always more interest accumulating."

"You son of a bitch," Andrew grits his teeth back to him. "You will not get away with this, you know why? Because I won't give you another dime!"

"Very well," Antonio chuckles. "Don't say I didn't warn you…"

Andrew slams the door closed behind himself as Antonio continues to laugh at the situation that is unfolding in front of him.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"So, the doctors have told us that they think Dawn will make a full recovery," Cheresa tells Trenyce as they sit across from one another in the cafeteria of the hospital. Trenyce came to see her daughter to get the latest update on Dawn; she is thrilled to learn that Dawn will recover from the hit and run and that Dale died, which means he won't be able to hurt anyone ever again.

"Thank God for that," Trenyce smiles over to her. "You must be so relieved."

"You have no idea," Cheresa breathes a sigh of relief. "I was so scared that I was going to lose her, and it has made me realize how important she is to me."

"It is interesting how these life and death events make us realize what is important," Trenyce tells her daughter.

"That's true," Cheresa nods back to her. "And, Mom, it has made me realize that we need to be honest. We can't keep this secret anymore."

Trenyce looks back at her in surprise. "What are you talking about?"

"Your affair with Andrew," Cheresa looks over at her. "I heard you and Andrew talking about it at the casino; it's why, it's why I couldn't be in your wedding to Chris."

Trenyce feels the blood drain from her face. "I…I don't know what to say."

"There's nothing to say to me," Cheresa replies to her quickly. "But you have to tell Chris the truth; he can't be kept in the dark anymore."

"Cheresa…"

"No, Mom," Cheresa cuts her off. "No more excuses; it's time that you tell Chris the truth about what is going on! He deserves that much."

Before Trenyce can respond, she gasps a little and puts her hand on her stomach. "Oh my God…" she looks over at Cheresa with a look of worry. "My water…it just broke! I'm going to have my baby!"

Roboto

Max opens the door to the main office at Roboto and moves inside. He pauses, however, when he sees Isabelle looking out the large window deep in thought. He sets the files down on the desk before he looks back at Isabelle, who hasn't turned around from her position at the window.

"I am surprised to see you here," Max says which causes Isabelle to turn around to face him. "Most people don't come into work the day after their wedding."

"I guess you haven't heard," Isabelle turns and looks at her former boyfriend. "Your mother showed up at the Calimo mansion right after the wedding and she dropped a bombshell."

Max looks back at her in surprise. "What does that mean? What did my mother do this time?"

Isabelle sighs back to him. "She announced that Natasha is faking her illness," she reveals to him as Max's eyes open wider in surprise. "Her plan, all along, was to keep Jacob away from Cassie, so her last wish was for him to marry me."

"I can't believe it," Max shakes his head in surprise. "Natasha did this to keep Cassie and Jacob apart? That's…twisted."

"You're telling me!" Isabelle sighs back to him. "Now I am married to Jacob and, if I am honest, I have no idea where we stand or if we have a future together."

"I am so sorry Isabelle," Max wraps his arms around her and pulls her into a hug. "I am glad that the truth is out but I am sorry that you're hurting by this. You didn't ask for this and you don't deserve it."

"I just don't know where Jacob and I go from here," she admits to him. "And that scares me."

The Cascade Apartments; Cassie, Max & Carter's Home

"Thanks for coming this morning," Cassie says as she opens the door to her apartment and let's Jacob inside. She invited him over because she thought that they should talk after everything that went down at the wedding the day before. She is still reeling from the fact that Natasha was faking her illness in order to keep her and Jacob apart; what's worse is that it worked: Jacob married Isabelle because Natasha told him that it was her dying wish for him to be with the model. "I thought we needed to talk."

"You are right, we do need to talk," Jacob moves into the apartment. "Where's Carter?"

"He just went down for his morning nap," Cassie replies to him. "But you can peek your head in, if you want."

"Maybe before I leave," he tells her. "I am still reeling from everything that happened yesterday."

"I know some of my actions weren't, exactly, upstanding," Cassie tells him quickly. "Like breaking into your Dad's office, but I had to figure this out, Jacob. I knew something was off. Then Sophie showed me this video of your parents in bed together; it didn't make sense that Shane hadn't put your Mom's blood disease in her file. And when I saw them making love, I thought it was weird that she was sexually active if she was dying. That's when I realized that she was faking to make you marry Isabelle. I just wish that I had put the pieces together sooner."

"I don't know how I didn't see this coming," Jacob sighs back to her. "I should have seen that my mother was doing this on purpose! I mean, she hadn't even met Isabelle, really, before she told me to be with her!"

"Don't blame yourself," Cassie says back to him. "You believed the woman who brought you into this world; you had no reason to think she would go this far to keep us apart. But Jacob, now that you know the truth, I want you to come back to me. It's time that we be the family we always wanted to have together; you, me and Carter. What do you say? Let's be together, finally?"

The Calimo Mansion

"That bitch has a lot of nerve!" Natasha hisses as she pours a gin and tonic from the bar in the living room of the Calimo mansion. "Not only did she ruin my plan, but she had the audacity to slap me!"

Sophie gulps as she looks over at her mother, who is fuming. She hasn't seen her mother this upset in a very long time, but Sophie can't believe that Natasha was faking her illness. For months, she was worried that her mother was dying, then, when Cory died, Sophie was scared that she would lose both of her parents in a short amount of time.

"Mom," Sophie looks at Natasha, who takes a sip of her drink. "Do you even care that you were telling Jacob to marry Isabelle just to keep him away from Cassie?"

"You're far too young to understand the history I have with that barracuda," Natasha replies to her quickly. "Keeping Jacob away from Cassie had to be my top priority."

"You made us all think you were dying!" Sophie yells back at her. "Do you have any idea how many nights I cried myself to sleep thinking that any day I could lose my mother?"

"Darling, I am sorry for that," Natasha tells her. "But I had to commit to ensure Jacob married Isabelle, and he did. I just hope he makes his marriage work. And, I have to figure out how Cassie put the pieces together."

"It was me!" Sophie explains to her before she gulps heavily as Natasha glares at her. "I helped Cassie put the pieces together!"

"You? How on earth did you help her?"

"Because," Sophie nervously tells her. "I saw you and Shane together and I, I took a video of it on my phone."

"You saw Shane and I together? What do you mean by that?" Natasha asks her quickly.

"You were having sex," Sophie explains to her. "I couldn't place it; why my dying mother would be sleeping with her ex-husband? Because Cassie had other information, she was able to piece it together."

"How dare you tape me in that position!" Natasha squeals back to her daughter. "You had no right, Sophie! Did you not learn anything from your time at boarding school?"

"Don't you dare put this on me!" Sophie yells back to her. "You're the one who betrayed us all, Mom, not me! So stop being mad at me and take a long hard look at yourself!"

Before Natasha can respond, Sophie rushes out of the living room. Natasha sighs heavily and takes another sip of her gin, as she wonders how she will get her children back into her good graces.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Robbie opens the door to Kim's hospital room and moves towards his wife, who is resting in her bed. He sits next to her and grabs her hand, his eyes never leaving her as he does. He hopes that by marrying her, she will start to get better, but he knows that after being shot, Kim's prognosis is looking bleak, which is why he married her. He wanted her to be his wife before she passed away.

"Kim," he whispers to her. "Please, if you can hear me, you have to know that I need you to get better. I…I don't want to lose you; it's too soon for you to leave this world."

At the doorway, Madeline freezes when she sees Robbie sitting with Kim. She listens to her former husband talk to Kim as she gets tears in her eyes.

"When we were married, we were so happy together," he continues to tell Kim, as she continues to sleep. "We only lost our way when we lost our baby. That was one of the most difficult periods of my life; I lost my child and I lost the love of my life in the process. It didn't seem fair," he continues to tell her as Madeline listens. "I know my part in the miscarriage was hard to get over, but, I've never stopped loving you, Kim. And I think deep down, you've never stopped loving me."

He pauses for a moment as a tear falls down Madeline's cheek, as she is devastated that Robbie just admitted to still being in love with Kim. She turns and leaves the room, without Robbie seeing her.

"And that's why, as your husband, I am pleading with you to get better," he squeezes her hand. "I'm not ready to lose you again; please come back to me, Kim. Please don't leave me again."

Twin Peaks Police Department

"Simona," Greg announces as he barges into the police detective's office at the police station. "We need to talk, and I'm not leaving here until we do."

Simona arches her eyebrow back to the doctor as she stands up from her desk. "By all means, Mr. Lawson, come on in, have a seat," she rolls her eyes as she moves and closes the door behind him. "What brings you by today?"

"My fiancé, Kim Calimo, was shot multiple times in my home," Greg tells her quickly. "I haven't heard a peep about your investigation as to who could have done this to her! Why hasn't an arrest been made? What are you, and this entire department, doing to catch the person or persons responsible?"

Simona grins back to him as she moves back around her desk and sits across from him. "The police have been investigating the shooting," she replies to him quickly. "And frankly, every time I went to the hospital or called the hospital, you were not available to discuss."

"What does that mean?" Greg asks her quickly.

"The person responsible for shooting Kim is behind bars," Simona proudly tells him.

"Who was it? Who shot my fiancé?"

"The same woman that kidnapped Cheresa last year, Tara," Simona reveals. "Only, she altered her face and was going by a new name, Traci."

Greg feels the blood drain from his face. "My maid shot Kim? Oh my God, this is a nightmare!"
