Roboto

Natasha opens the fridge in the breakroom of Roboto and looks for a new bottle of water, which she grabs and immediately opens while she closes the fridge door. She takes a long sip of the water as she thinks about how Roboto and Rockwell Mining are so close to the launch date of the Pink Roses; Rockwell Mining was able to obtain large, rare, pink diamonds that have been carved into the shape of Roses. They are going to be placed into a crown, which Isabelle will model at the launch, before the design is incorporated into the new perfume bottle. On top of this, the launch will take place at the resort, the Barracuda Blue, in Maui, Hawaii.

"You're smiling ear to ear," Shane announces as he moves into the room and sees his fiancé grinning. "I guess that means your project is going well?"

"It's better than I could have hoped," Natasha tells him as she moves up to him and kisses him. "I guess I should apologize to you."

Shane arches his eyebrow back to her. "Apologize? For what? Being a successful businesswoman?" he chuckles to her.

"I just mean, this campaign has been taking up a lot of my time, it feels like I might have been ignoring you."

"I understand completely Nat," Shane tells her as he looks into her eyes. "I want you to succeed at this, and I'm proud of you."

Natasha smiles back to him as she kisses him again. "Thanks Shane," she tells him as their lips part. "And how about a deal? As soon as this launch is over, we focus on us and planning our wedding?"

"I love that," he winks back at her.

***

Meanwhile, in the main office, Jacob and Isabelle sit on the sofa as they look at some of the mock designs for Isabelle's dress that she will wear at the launch party, which is in a few weeks. Isabelle thinks the dress is stunning; she can't wait to see the physical dress so she can try it on, and they can make any alterations that are required.

"You're going to look stunning in this," Jacob tells her with a grin on his face. "The color is going to look great with your skin tone."

"I think so too," Isabelle replies to him. "Your Mom really found a great designer for the dress."

"Between my Mom and the Rockwell's, they haven't left a stone unturned with the collaboration."

"Are you getting excited to go to Hawaii?" Isabelle asks him next, knowing that the launch will happen in Maui.

"I am," Jacob nods back to her. "I think it will be a good escape for us, you know? We've had a hell of a start to this year, so I'm looking forward to working but also having some reconnection time with you."

Isabelle grabs his hand and squeezes it. "You mean that?"

"I do," Jacob looks back into her eyes before he leans in and kisses her. "I've miss you, I've missed us, Isabelle. This trip, it will be great on so many levels."

Isabelle smiles back to him, thrilled that her plan to keep Jacob closer to her has worked. She was worried about blackmailing Cassie into leaving town, but she realizes that it was the best decision she ever made.

"I am looking forward to it as well, more than you know," she finally responds to him, before she kisses him on the lips again.

The Sugarbowl

Simona wraps her arms around Sergio as they stand in the coffeehouse together. She is still on cloud nine that her brother is visiting her as he has been living in Mexico for the last few years.

"Why don't you go grab the back booth and I'll get us some lattes?" Sergio smiles back to her as they exit their embrace.

"Sure thing," Simona replies to him. "Can you get mine with some oat milk?"

"I remember how you like a latte," he chuckles to her. "So yes, I can. I'll be right there."

Simona moves to the back booth while Sergio moves up to the barista and places his order. At the doorway, Lukas enters and quickly sees the police detective. Immediately, his mind goes back to seeing Sergio and Donovan kissing. When he confronted his husband about it, Donovan reminded him that Lukas is the one that cheated on him and that he would continue to see Sergio, as long as he is in Twin Peaks.

"I heard you were back in town," Lukas says as he approaches Sergio.

Sergio turns and looks at Lukas. "In the flesh," he replies to him. "It's nice to see you again, Lukas."

"Yea?" Lukas asks him with an arched eyebrow. "I also heard that you've been seeing Donovan a lot. Need I remind you that he's my husband?"

Sergio chuckles back to him. "Donovan has told me that you filed for divorce," Sergio admits to him. "So in my mind, Donovan is a free man. And to be honest Lukas, we are both old enough to make up our own minds about whom we spend our time with."

"Stay away from Donovan," Lukas grits his teeth together.

"I'm afraid I'm not going to do that," Sergio replies to him quickly as Lukas feels his blood start to boil. "I like Donovan's company, and he likes mine, so we will see one another Lukas. Now, if you'll excuse me, my lattes are getting cold, and my sister is waiting for me."

Lukas watches as Sergio walks away from him. He sighs heavily. "I won't lose Donovan to you, I refuse to let that happen."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"Isn't Andy joining us?" Kim asks Nicholas as they sit across from one another in the restaurant. Kim was surprised to hear from Nicholas that he wanted to see her; she had assumed that Andy would also be with him, but Nicholas is by himself.

"No, he's not," Nicholas tells her. "But someone else is joining us, but I want you to brace yourself, okay?"

Kim looks back at him in surprise. "Why? Who is it?"

"Nicholas," Madeline announces as she reaches the table and sits next to him. "This was a surprise. Hi, Kim," she forces a smile on her face, even though she is annoyed by the presence of the woman that married Robbie.

"What is she doing here?" Kim asks Nicholas, ignoring Madeline. She is still furious with her for the lawsuit that she filed against her and Robbie, as she is claiming that she never got a true divorce settlement.

"This is about Andy," Nicholas reveals to her before he looks at Madeline. "You two are his family, and he needs you right now."

"Andy? What is going on with my brother?" Kim asks him quickly, worried about Andy suddenly.

"He's…he's struggling right now," Nicholas admits to them. "He needs you, both of you, right now, because I'm worried he might fall off the wagon."

Madeline and Kim look at one another in horror at the thought of Andy drinking again. They nod at one another before they look back at Nicholas.

"Anything that we can do, we will do it," Madeline tells Nicholas. "Andy's sobriety has to come first."

The Young Mansion

Andy slowly moves into the living room of the Young mansion, which is his new home as he has moved in with Nicholas. He hasn't been able to shake the feeling that he is slowly losing it after what happened in his condo; he saw muddy footprints on the carpet, but there was no other sign of life in the condo, so he has no idea how the footprints appeared.

"At least I was able to get a good night sleep because Nicholas was next to me," he whispers to himself as he moves closer to the fireplace mantel, where he sees a picture of him and Nicholas resting. "But I still have no idea what is going on? Who was in my apartment? And wasn't there tracks outside of the carpet? Who was in there?"

He shakes his head quickly as he is, suddenly, overcome with thought of killing Clayton. He turns around and the image of Clayton attacking Nichola with the fire poker replays in front of him. He can see himself grabbing the vase and dropping it over Clayton's head, and sees his body crumble to the floor in a pool of blood.

"Maybe moving here was a mistake," he tells himself. "Because this is the scene of the crime…"

He turns his head and sees the bar, which has a decanter full of whiskey. He gulps heavily as he eyes the decanter, his craving for a drink increasing each and every second.

Dominick's Townhouse

Abby moves into the living room of Dominick's townhouse and catches her breath; her mind has been racing over the fact that she and Ethan made love to one another the previous night. While she knows that she and Ethan have been fighting an attraction for months, she can't believe she lost control and allowed herself to be with another man.

"I thought I heard the door," Dominick announces as he moves into the living room. "How are you my love?"

Abby forces a smile on her face before she turns to look at him. "I'm well, how are you feeling?"

"Like a new man," Dominick chuckles to her as he moves closer to her. "Seriously, I am getting better and stronger each and every day."

"I'm so happy to hear that," Abby pulls him into a hug. "Did you mean what you said yesterday?"

"I said a lot of things yesterday," he looks into her eyes as they exit their embrace.

"I mean about us getting married again," Abby says back to him. "Did you really mean that? You want to divorce Eva and marry me?"

Dominick caresses her cheek as a grin creeps across his face. "That's what I want more than anything else in the world," he tells her. "Is that what you want?"

Abby nods back to him. "Yes, I want to be your wife, Dominick. And this time, nothing will ever come between us again."

Robertson Enterprises

Leah opens the door to the main office at Robertson Enterprises and scurries inside as she sees Jeff and Tyler looking at a file behind the desk. She moves closer to her former husband and brother and sets her purse down on the desk.

"Have you two heard the latest?" she asks them, causing the men to look over at her.

"Uh, depends what you're talking about," Tyler chuckles back to her. "Whatever it is, you seem to be upset by it?"

"Roboto and Rockwell Mining are planning a launch of a collaborative new product, do you know what this could do to Robertson Enterprises?" Leah asks them. "We need to think of something to counter this!"

"That's what Jeff and I were just talking about," Tyler admits to her as he stands up and moves to the bar in the office as Leah looks back at Jeff.

"It's true, I came up with a pretty cool idea that could help us with sales but also pay tribute to the family," Jeff tells her as Leah arches her eyebrow. "I was thinking we could a line to honor Felicia, maybe a new perfume and matching body lotion."

Leah feels her eyes swell with water at the thought of her mother. "Really? That's very sweet," Leah tells him.

"I also liked the idea," Tyler reveals to her as he takes a sip of the sparkling water he just poured. "I think we just need to flesh out some more ideas."

"Did someone say ideas? Because I am full of them," a voice announces at the doorway, causing the three executives to look over at the doorway.

"Paige?" Leah gasps in surprise at the sight of her daughter. "You're home?"

Leah rushes up and hugs her daughter, while Jeff and Tyler come up to do the same once Leah exits her embrace. "I'm back," Paige purses her lips together. "And I can't wait to get my life back."

The Victors Mansion

"I've been meaning to ask you something," Bryce tells Frederick as they continue to face one another in the living room of the Victors mansion. Bryce had arrived to tell his grandfather that he finished the online course, so now, he is able to marry people as he got ordained.

"Of course," Frederick smiles back to him. "As long as this isn't another 'I'm nothing like' question, because I think we covered that off already."

"No, I know myself enough to know that I'm not like you, but I do need to know why you asked me to get ordained? Who, exactly, are you wanting me to marry?" Bryce asks him as he crosses his arms over his muscular chest.

Frederick uneasily sighs back to him. "I need you to brace yourself," Frederick warns him. "You realize that there was a fire at Raven's Meadow, right? That's how I supposedly died."

Bryce nods back to him. "Yes, of course, how could I forget?"

"Well, everyone also believes that Felicia died," Frederick admits to him. "The truth is, she's alive, and here with me."

"My God," Bryce whispers back to him. "Do you know how much grief the family has gone through thinking of Felicia being dead?"

"I don't need a lecture," Frederick warns him quickly. "I need you to marry us; I want you to marry me and Felicia, and once that happens, she can be revealed to be alive and well," Frederick grins back to him as Bryce gasps back in horror.
