Puerta Vallarta Medical Center

"I know that they are making sure that Olly is okay, but I actually can't wait to get him back to Twin Peaks where he can be looked at by his regular doctor," Lukas says as he paces back and forth in the small waiting room of the medical center in Puerta Vallarta. After he, Meggan, Donovan and Sergio broke into Jasper's apartment, they were reunited with their son. They quickly decided to the medical center to ensure that Olly was in good health.

"I couldn't agree more," Donovan tells his husband. "This entire trip, it's been a whirlwind."

"But we have Olly back, that has to be the most important thing," Meggan tells her brother and his husband. "You two, you worked together to get your son back."

Donovan and Lukas look at one another for a moment as they realize that they did work well together, despite all the troubles in their marriage. "I am just glad that we have Olly back," Donovan replies to everyone.

Before anyone can say anything else, a nurse comes into the waiting room. "How is our son?" Lukas asks her quickly.

The nurse smiles back to him. "Olly is in perfect health," she reveals to them, as they all breathe a sigh of relief. "Your little boy is asking for you, so you can go see him."

"I can't wait to see him," Lukas says in anticipation.

They are about to leave when Sergio comes into the room. "I know you want to see Olly, but you all need to know something."

Meggan arches her eyebrow back to the detective. "What's happened now?"

"It's Jasper…he's…dead…" Sergio reveals to them as Donovan and Lukas gasp in horror. "During the chase, he ran into the road and was hit by a fishing truck. He was killed on impact."

Lukas lets out a deep sigh, thinking about how his former lover is now dead. He can't believe that it has come to this.

"I…I don't know what to say," Lukas finally replies to him.

"I think it's good that this nightmare is over," Donovan says before he locks eyes with everyone. "Now, we can go home and try to pick up the pieces of our lives."

"I'm going to go see Olly," Lukas says as he grabs Meggan's hand. "Come on."

"I'll be right there," Donovan tells him as he looks at Sergio. "I need a moment with the police detective."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"You've been pretty quiet since we left the hospital," Will notes back to Eva as they sit across from one another with two glasses of white wine in front of them. They had been at the hospital, where they met with Dr. Stephanie Clarke, who gave them an idea on how she might be able to pull Dominick out of his coma. Stephanie, then, asked Will to help her but he was on the fence as he is worried about the ramifications of his relationship with Eva should Dominick awake from the coma. "How are you feeling about what Stephanie told us?"

Eva sighs to him before she takes a sip of her wine. "I am trying to not get my hopes up, but it all seemed like it was good information, don't you think?"

"I do think that," Will nods in agreement with her. "If her methods work, Dominick could awake from his coma."

"That's all we want, all of us. Except you it seems."

"Me?" Will asks her in surprise. "Why would you say that?"

"Because," Eva looks back at him in surprise. "You didn't jump at the chance to help Stephanie with Dominick's recovery. I don't know why you wouldn't want to do everything you can to help Dominick, Will! Hasn't he, haven't we all, suffered enough?"

"That's not why I didn't accept the offer right away."

"I don't care why you didn't," Eva looks back at him. "But I am hoping that you will help Stephanie, Will. Dominick, he needs all of us to help him get out of this coma, and that includes you. So please, please tell me that you'll do anything you can to help Dominick. Do this for me, Will. Please."

***

At the table in the far back corner, Abby sits with a double vodka soda in front of her. Her mind is racing over the meeting that she attended with Will, Eva, and Stephanie about Dominick's medical status. She knows that if Dominick does come out of his coma, he could remember everything that she did to prevent him from remembering that Eva was alive all those months. In her defense, she was trying to ensure that her marriage remained intact, because now, her worst fears have come true: Eva is still Dominick's legal wife. Her marriage to Dominick was never valid, so she has no idea what her future holds.

"You look a million miles away," a voice calls out causing Abby to look up and see Ethan standing in front of her. Immediately, she recalls how the last time she saw him, he wasn't happy with her after she made a snide remark to Paige before she left town.

"Ethan," Abby replies to him. "I'm…I'm surprised you approached me after our last visit."

Ethan smirks back to her as he sits across from her. "I know I was hard on you," Ethan admits to her. "But Paige and I, we had just signed our annulment papers. We were in an emotional place, I guess."

"I can understand that," Abby nods back to him. "I am sorry about that, by the way. I know that you and Paige didn't know you were siblings but to find that out, after you married her, must have been difficult."

"This entire revelation that Leah and Jeff are my parents have been mind blowing," he admits to her. "Everything that I thought I knew about my life, has been changed. I mean, the friend that I went to law school with, Tyler, is more than my friend, he's my Uncle. It is just wild."

"You know that if you need me for support, I am here for you, right?" Abby reaches over and grabs his hand. "You've been there for me so much during this ordeal with Dominick, the least I can do is be there for you."

"You mean that, don't you?" Ethan asks her with a sly grin.

"Of course, I do."

"There's something that I've wanted to do for a while," he admits to her as they lock eyes again. "And I want that again, now."

"What is it?"

Ethan leans over the table and kisses her on the lips. Just as their lips lock, Leah emerges behind them as she arrived for a lunch meeting; she can't believe that her son is locking lips with Abby. She knows that this isn't the time or place to confront Ethan about this, but she will have a talk with him about it.

Abby and Ethan, meanwhile, part ways and look back at each other with a smile on their face. "You're right, it has been a while since we kissed, but that was … nice," Abby licks her lips back to him.

"I agree, it was nice," Ethan winks back to her. "Very nice."

The Davenport House; Chris & Trenyce's Home

"BJ and Tinah are down for their morning nap," Chris announces to Trenyce as he moves into the living of the house that they share with their children. He knows that the nanny had a busy morning with the children while they had breakfast with Cheresa, as a way to congratulate their daughter on her new job at Twin Peaks General Hospital.

"Oh good, thanks for checking on them," Trenyce turns to him with a smile. "This has been a lovely way to start the day, huh? A breakfast with our daughter and then coming home to our smaller children?"

Chris smiles back to her as he recalls how he overheard Dawn telling his wife that Cheresa hates lying at the breakfast earlier. He has been racking his brain trying to think about what Cheresa could be lying about and why she would be lying.

"It was a nice breakfast with Cheresa and Dawn," he agrees with her. "Something happened though, something that I wanted to talk to you about."

Trenyce arches her eyebrow back to him. "What's up?"

"Remember when the babysitter called me at breakfast?" Chris asks her as Trenyce nods back to him. "When I was coming back, I overheard you and Dawn talking," he reveals to her as Trenyce gulps heavily. "She was telling you that Cheresa hates lying; so tell me, Trenyce, what is Cheresa lying to us about? Why is our daughter lying to her parents?"

"I…" Trenyce gulps back to him. "It was nothing, just a misunderstanding. You didn't hear the full conversation, so don't worry about it, okay? Just be happy that Cheresa is starting a new job at the hospital; that's all that matters."

Chris uneasily looks back at her, wondering why no one is being honest with him. He realizes, however, that he must figure out what is really going on here because he hates the idea that Cheresa is lying to him.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Cheresa, who is wearing her white medical coat, grins as she walks down the hallway of the hospital. It is her first shift in her new role, and she is feeling like she is on cloud nine. She is so happy that she has this new job at the hospital; she is looking forward to making a difference in people's lives, however, she knows that she has a interesting first task at the hospital.

She opens the door to one of the meeting rooms and moves inside, where she sees a young woman sitting at the table and Bryce sitting further down the table.

"Hello, sorry to keep you waiting," Cheresa announces to the room. "I'm Cheresa Lawson; I will be the project manager on our first assignment at the hospital."

"Cheresa," Bryce stands up and shakes her hand. "I'm Dr. Bryce Barty; I was hired for this project as they wanted to see me do something other than handle patients for a while since I was working at Raven's Meadow and it…well, it didn't end well."

"I'm Chantel White," the young blonde woman announces to her. "I was also hired for this project. I'm really excited to work with you, both of you."

Bryce looks at Chantelle and arches his eyebrow; he can't help but wonder why he recognizes her, but he can't place it.

"It's great to meet both of you," Cheresa smiles back to them. "Our goal is going to be to reorganize the file rooms; they haven't been touched in a years. They also want us to move some of the older paper files to electronic files, as the new computer system stores the patient files."

"That sounds good," Bryce replies to her.

"Yea, I agree, when do we start?" Chantel asks everyone.

"Today," Cheresa replies to them. "We start today, right now. Come on, I'll show you the file rooms."

The Sugarbowl

Robbie and Kim sit in the back booth of the coffeehouse with two lattes in front of them. They are waiting for a couple of people to join them to share their news that they have decided to make their marriage work. They know that this will create some heartache, but they can't deny that they still love one another.

Kim looks at the door when it opens, and she sees Greg and Madeline walking in together. She sets her latte down and looks over at Robbie while she feels her heart starting to race. "I hope you're ready because they are here," she whispers to her husband. "We are about to break their hearts."

"Just remember that we are doing what is best for us," Robbie reminds her. "We can't live a lie anymore; we have to be honest with everyone."

Kim nods back to him. "I know, it's just going to suck hurting people we care about."

Before Robbie can respond, Greg and Madeline arrive at the table. "I hope we aren't interrupting," Greg says as he moves into the booth next to Kim while Madeline sits next to Robbie.

"Of course not," Kim replies to him quickly. "We asked you two here."

Madeline rolls her eyes back at Kim. "Can we just cut to the chase?" she huffs back. "Greg and I, we are assuming that this has to do with your marriage and where we all stand?"

"It does," Robbie chimes in. "Kim and I, we've thought long and hard about this, and we've had many discussions about it."

"And, we've decided that we are going to stay married," Kim announces to them as Madeline and Greg look at one another in horror. "Robbie and I have realized that we still love each other very much and we want our marriage to work."

The Cascade Apartments; Cassie & Max's Home

Cassie pours herself a gin and tonic from the small in her kitchen and takes a drink of it immediately. Her mind is still racing over the fact that Isabelle is trying to blackmail her into leaving town; Isabelle is saying that if she doesn't leave town, she will accuse Cassie of pushing her down the stairs, which caused her miscarriage. Cassie knows that she didn't push Isabelle, but everyone, including Natasha, will believe Isabelle.

"You stupid little bitch," Cassie whispers to herself before she takes a sip of her gin. "You think that you've won, but you have no idea who you're dealing with."

She sets her glass down when she hears a faint knock on her front door. "Whoever that is, they better not set me off, I'm in no mood to deal with anyone today," she tells herself before she moves to the door. She opens it and feels her blood start to boil when she sees Isabelle standing in the hallway. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Nice to see you too," Isabelle pushes her way into the apartment. "I came to see how packing is going. Need I remind you that you need to leave town or I'm going to the police."

"You don' have to remind me," Cassie slams the door shut. "You've made yourself perfectly clear, Isabelle."

"Good," Isabelle glares back at her. "When are you leaving, then? Or am I leaving here and going to the police?"

Cassie gets a wicked grin on her face as she slowly moves closer to Isabelle, who gulps. "You think you've won, but you haven't, sweetie. You see, I know what I'm doing, and you may have won the battle, but this war is far from over. So yes, I am leaving town today, Isabelle. But mark my words, I will be back and I will stop you. If you don't believe me, ask Natasha about what I'm capable of."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying, sleep with one eye open, Isabelle," Cassie taunts her. "Because when I decide to strike back, you will have no idea what's coming."

Puerta Vallarta, Mexico

"You wanted to see me?" Sergio asks Donovan as they stand facing one another in the waiting room of the medical center. "Are you okay?"

"I'm more than okay," Donovan breathes a sigh of relief to him. "Because of you, I have my son back and this nightmare is over, Sergio."

"I am glad that I could help," the detective replies to him. "I hate that Jasper's life had to end in all of this; it could have ended without that but here we are."

"I agree, it was senseless, but I am just so grateful to you that you were able to help Lukas and I get Olly back," Donovan looks back into his eyes.

Sergio blushes a little. "I was just doing my job, but you're welcome."

"You did more than your job," Donovan moves closer to him. "And I am forever going to appreciate everything you did."

Sergio looks back into Donovan's eyes and before they know what's happening, they are locking lips with one another. They part ways, but soon enough, they are kissing each other again, this time with even more passion than the last time.
