St. Joseph's Church

It is a beautiful spring day in Twin Peaks as the sun is beaming, which when it comes through the stained-glass windows of St. Joseph's, it creates a warm glow in the building. The setting is set for Adam and Helen's long-awaited wedding. Guests of the wedding are still ushering in and finding their seats.

In the groom's room, Adam stands in front of the mirror as he tries to fix his bowtie on his tux, but he keeps fumbling with it. Max notices his father struggling and starts to chuckle back to him.

"Here, let me help with you that," Max tells him as he comes up to his father and starts to tie it for him.

"Thanks, I've never been good at this formal attire," Adam laughs back to him, as Max finishes tying it for him. "That looks good kid, thanks."

"That's why I'm the best man," Max smiles back to him. "Seriously Dad, I'm really happy for you and Helen. Today is going to be a good day for you and her."

"It is," Adam nods back to him. "And thank you, for agreeing to stand up for me. I know that we had some rough patches, especially when I first found out that I had a kid with Cassie…"

"That was a long time ago," Max cuts him off, feeling embarrassed by how he behaved when he first learned that Adam was his father. "I hope we've moved past that."

"Long past, but it just makes me proud of how far we've come," Adam tells him. "I love you, Max."

"I love you too, Dad," Max replies to him as he pulls him into a hug.

Meanwhile, in the bridal room, Helen emerges from the dressing room in a long, beaded, white dress. Dawn looks over at her mother and gasps at how beautiful she looks. She immediately stands up and moves up to her mother, taking her hand towards the large mirror.

"I…I've never seen you look so beautiful," Dawn tells her mother, as she gets tears in her eyes.

Helen looks at herself in the mirror and nods. "The dress is stunning, isn't it?"

"Only half as stunning as you," Dawn squeezes her hand. "Today is the day, Mom. The day that we finally become a family again, this time for real."

"I almost can't believe," Helen tells her. "And are you still thinking of moving to Toronto with us?"

"I am," Dawn admits to her. "I've waited for this for so long, I think I want to enjoy spending some family time with you guys. If you'll have me?"

"Of course, we will," Helen pulls her into a hug. "You never have to question whether your father and I want you around."

"I love you guys so much," Dawn tells her as they exit their embrace. "But enough of that, let's go get you married!"

***

Max exits the room where Adam is finishing getting ready and looks around the church, which continues to fill up with more guests for the wedding. He smiles at the sight as he still can't believe that Adam and Helen are about to get remarried.

"Oh wow," Sophie says as she comes up to Max.

"Sophie, hey," Max smiles back to her. "It's nice that you came today."

"My Mom and your Dad have a long history together," Sophie replies to him. "So, I came as her plus one since Shane is at the hospital today."

"That makes sense," Max tells her. "Besides, Shane and my Dad also have their own heated history," he chuckles to her. "You said wow when you approached me? What's up?"

Sophie feels her cheeks blush. "I…uh…"

"What? What is it?" he chuckles.

"I … just… well, I think you look very dashing in your tux," she admits to him, causing him to smile back to her.

"Well, thank you," he winks back to her. "For the record, you look beautiful in your dress."

Sophie feels her heart skip a beat. "Thank you, Max."

"The church is looking so beautiful, don't you think?" Antonio asks Robin as they sit down next to one another in one of the pews of the church. He smiles over to his fiancé, before he notices Andrew and Daisy sitting next to one another in another pew. He feels his heart skip a beat seeing them as he knows he revealed to Daisy that Andrew and Trenyce slept together and that he, could be, Albertinah's father. He turns back to Robin, not wanting to dwell on that drama today.

"It really does," Robin replies to him. "I am just so happy for Adam and Helen. I have a long history with them, and always felt like they were meant to be, even though Adam and I were engaged for a while."

"It is nice that you two have been able to remain friends after everything that happened," Antonio tells her quickly.

"Adam and I have remained friendly," Robin nods to her. "Helen and I, I don't think we will ever see eye to eye, but that is another story."

"You know what I just realized?" Antonio asks her as they lock eyes with one another.

"What?" she smiles back to him.

"The next wedding this town sees, it will be ours," he replies to her before he leans in and kisses her on the lips. "And that will be the most joyous day, for both of us."

In another pew, Chris and Trenyce sit next to one another as they look at pictures of BJ and Tinah are her phone. They keep gushing over how adorable their children are as they play with one another. They are also feeling incredibly relieved that Albertinah is, once again, healthy. They have never been more worried then when she was in the hospital with her severe aplastic amenia.

"You know, I can't stop thinking about how blessed we are," Chris smiles over to her. "We have these two beautiful children, we have our happy marriage and we are closer to Cheresa than ever before."

Trenyce smiles back to him. "I know, I have been feeling that way too, Chris. Especially since Albertinah is back home and healthier than ever before."

"That was a dark time for us," Chris nods back to her. "But we pulled through, and we did it together. It just makes me realize that we can get through anything if we do it together."

Trenyce leans over and kisses him on the lips. "I love you so much," she tells him as their lips part.

"I love you too," Chris says back to her. "And you know what? I want the world to know!"

"What are you talking about?" Trenyce giggles back to him.

"Let's renew our vows Trey; let's show the world how much we mean to one another?"

***

Daisy folds her arms over her chest as she sits next to Andrew in another pew. Normally she would want to go see Chris and Trenyce, who she can see sitting together, but after learning that Andrew slept with her niece, and could be Albertinah's father, she knows that she has to keep her distance because she has no idea how she is going to react.

"You've been so quiet," Andrew finally says something to her. "I know you're upset with me, but I wish you'd let me explain."

"Explain? What, exactly, do you think there is to explain?" Daisy hisses back to him. "You knew Trenyce was married but you still slept with her! And, my God, if you are Albertinah's father, do you know the damage that would do to this family?"

Andrew feels his heart sink inside his chest. "I know, I know," he replies to her in a whisper. "Trey and I, we made a mistake, we know that. And it's not like it's happened again; it was a onetime thing!"

"That doesn't change the fact that you might be the father of her baby."

"Might is the key word," Andrew looks back at her. "We know how evil Antonio is," he continues to tell her. "What if he's lying? What if he's just saying that to make sure we stay in that damn casino?"

"That could be true, but the fact that he knows you slept with Trenyce is enough reason for us to do what he says, don't you think? How do you think Chris would react to finding out that you slept with his wife?" she asks him quickly.

"I get it," Andrew sighs back to her. "Either way, I have to find out if Albertinah is mine or not. I need to know if I fathered that little girl."

The Victors Mansion

Frederick and Bryce move into the living room of the Victors mansion as Bryce came over to give his grandfather an update on their plan, which Bryce fully doesn't know yet. He still doesn't understand why Frederick continues to drag him into all of his plans anyways, but he knows that he can't let the truth about the baby switch come out.

"I hope that you have good news for me," Frederick tells his grandson as they turn and face one another. "Tell me that you finished that course and that you're ordained now?"

Bryce gulps before he nods back to him. "I finished this morning," Bryce reveals to him as Frederick gets a smile on his face. "I am officially ordained!"

"This is fantastic news!" Frederick replies to him with a chuckle. "I had hoped that it wouldn't take long, and it certainly didn't."

"I have to ask you something," Bryce looks back at him with intent. "Why are you doing this to me?"

"What on earth do you mean?" Frederick asks him in confusion.

"You…You made my parents think that I was dead," Bryce tells him. "You took me to the winery in Santa Barbara and gave me this new identity, you lied to me about who I was and how we were related….why? Why have you done all of this, Frederick?"

Frederick puts his hand on his shoulder. "Isn't it obvious, Bryce?"

"No, it's not."

"Everything I've done, I've done for you," Frederick whispers back to him. "You're…you're my protégé. One day, I won't be here, but I believe with all the work I've done with you, you will carry on my legacy."

Bryce shakes his head in horror back to him. "No, no I won't," he stutters his words. "I'm…I'm nothing like you."

Frederick grins back to him. "That's where you're wrong, you're exactly like me," Frederick tells him as Bryce gasps back to him as the blood drains from his face. "The baby switch, you actively working to ensure the truth doesn't come out, that's exactly what I would do. So you see, I have produced a miniature me, and that was always my goal."

St. Joseph's Church

Adam and Max stand next to one another at the alter in the church. Max can tell that Adam is nervous he is playing with his hands. Max puts his hands on Adam's shoulders, and they smile at one another before the wedding march begins.

The guests turn and see Dawn emerge at the back of the church and she starts to walk down the aisle towards her father, who kisses her cheek.

The guests, then, stand up as Helen emerges and they gasp at how beautiful she is. Helen walks down aisle with a huge smile on her face. She reaches the altar and kisses Dawn's cheek before she passes her bouquet of flowers. She then turns to Adam and smiles at him.

"You look beautiful," he whispers to her.

"Thank you."

"Ladies and gentlemen," the minister begins to say. "We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of this man and woman in holy matrimony. Before we continue, if anyone has just cause for these two not to proceed with this union, speak now, or forever hold your peace."

There's a tense silence as Adam and Helen look into the crowd, but no one objects. "Very well, let's continue. Adam, Helen, entering marriage is a sacred union, and it shouldn't be taken lightly. Do you both enter with the purest of intentions?"

"We do," Adam and Helen say together.

"Very well, the two of you have decided to write your own vows, so Adam you can begin," the minister instructs him.

Adam looks back at Helen with a chuckle. "We've been on a journey together, haven't we?" he asks her as she giggles back to him. "We met when we were young, and we were married and we have a family together, Helen. Somewhere along the way, we lost our way, but no matter where I was, the path that I was on, it always lead back to you. Even when we weren't together, my heart belonged to you, you always consumed it. Today, today is the best day of my life because I am finally able to tell the world how much I love you, how much I adore you, and how much I want you to be my wife until I take my last breath. I love you, Helen, and I am so honored to be your husband."

"And Helen, over to you."

"I…I don't know how I will top that," Helen chuckles back to him as she wipes a tear from her eye. "My entire adult life, it seems, has had this one constant, and that is you, Adam. I fell for you hard when we first got together, and I have been in love ever since. To point where, for a while, I was doing things that made me not recognize myself, but I always did it out of my love for you. To think that we have spent this life together, and that we have built this family together, and I…I couldn't be more proud of that. I am so proud and honored that I have spent my life loving you, because you are the best man I know, and the best father I know. Together, we have built this, and I am very much looking forward to us spending the rest of our lives together."

Adam smiles back to her as she wipes another tear from her eye.

"Alright, the rings please," the minister says as Max pulls the rings out of his pocket and passes them to Adam.

"Adam, please repeat, I Adam, take thee Helen to be my wedded wife, in sickness, health, richness, poorness and everything in between."

" I Adam, take thee Helen to be my wedded wife, in sickness, health, richness, poorness and everything in between," Adam repeats the words as he slides the ring on Helen's finger.

"And Helen, please repeat, I Helen, take thee Adam to be my wedded husband, in sickness, health, richness, poorness and everything in between."

"I Helen, take thee Adam to be my wedded husband, in sickness, health, richness, poorness and everything in between," she says as she puts the ring on Adam's finger.

"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride," the minster says, as Adam leans in and kisses Helen passionately on the lips, as the crowd stands and starts to clap and cheer, thrilled that the couple has been married.
