The Barracuda Blue; Maui, Hawaii

The Barracuda Blue is a world-famous resort that is located on the most western part of the island of Maui, in Hawaii. The resort has had the most glamorous celebrities, politician's and influencers as guests. And now, it is the backdrop of the launch of the Pink Roses campaign, which Roboto collaborated with Rockwell Mining on.

In the middle of the resort, there is a large pool and sun deck. The sun deck overlooks the Pacific Ocean and all of its stunning views. Currently, there is a small welcome party, as members of the Roboto team and the Rockwell Mining team are arriving at the resort, before the launch party the next evening.

Natasha, Robbie, and Kim all stand by the pool with glasses of champagne in their hands while a warm Hawaiian breeze is in the air.

"This place, it is so beautiful," Kim tells her family as she takes a sip of her champagne. "This is the perfect place for our launch."

"I couldn't agree more," Natasha smiles back to her. "And we have the Rockwell's to thank for securing it."

"Speak of the devil," Robbie says as he notices Mac Rockwell and his children, Cole and Stacey, moving on to the sun deck. "MacKenzie, hello! Welcome the Barracuda Blue."

Mac shakes his hands with Robbie, Natasha, and Kim, before his children do. "Aloha," Mac beams back to them. "Robbie, Natasha, these are my children, Cole and Stacey. They have been instrumental on the campaign."

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Natasha tells them. "And thank you for all your efforts."

"Of course," Cole nods back to her. "Ah, and here is the woman that made this venue happen. Everyone, this is my dear friend Lyzz Thornton, and her Aunt Orvilla, who runs the resort."

"Welcome everyone," Orvilla purses her lips together. "I am most excited for this launch as I believe it will give us all a new audience, if you will."

"That's what we hoping for," Stacey chuckles back to her.

"How about a toast?" Lyzz suggests as everyone raises their glasses. "To the Pink Roses launch being a huge success!"

Everyone clicks their glasses together and then takes drinks of their champagne, still in awe of their surroundings.

The Barracuda Blue; Maui, Hawaii

A short time later, Cole grabs another glass of champagne before he moves back up to his friend, Lyzz. He is still so grateful that she was able to secure the resort as the venue for the launch party, because the setting is beyond beautiful. He realizes that the fact that the launch is at this location, will really help with the initial sales, which means both Rockwell Mining and Roboto will benefit.

"I can't thank you again, Lyzz, for talking to your Aunt about getting us this venue for the launch," Cole says as he moves up next to her, as she looks out at the calm ocean.

"It's like I told you in Kelsey Lake," Lyzz purses her lips together. "As soon as you called me, I discussed with Orvilla; she thought it was a good idea."

"I still can't believe that your Aunt is running this place," Cole sighs back to her. "I remember when we were in school, your Dad was running the Barracuda Blue."

"He was until he passed away," Lyzz sighs back to him. "But that was many years ago."

"Have you heard from your mother? I know that she ran off after your dad died."

"Ran off? She abandoned me and my siblings," Lyzz huffs back to her. "So no, none of us have heard from her, not that we want too. She left us alone in the time we needed her the most."

Cole pulls his friend into a hug and holds her for a moment. "I know, I'm sorry I asked. Just know that I'm here for you if you need me."

Sophie slowly walks on the sun deck and stops to take in the beautiful scenery that is in front of her. She is feeling incredibly grateful that Natasha allowed her, and Max, to come on the trip as she and Max have worked so hard on the campaign.

"This is something else, isn't it?" Max asks her as he comes up next to her with a beer in his hand.

"We truly are in paradise," Sophie turns and looks at the man that she has been crushing on.

"You can say that again."

"I have to wonder though," she looks at him with intent. "How are you doing? I know that Adam and Helen just left Twin Peaks and moved to Canada. That can't be easy for you."

Max uneasily chuckles back to her. "I'm happy for my Dad and Helen," he replies to her quickly. "He and Helen have been through so much together; for them to finally be married, and happy; it is a blessing. I will miss them, and Dawn, but this is what they need and that they deserve."

"That's a really great way of thinking about," Sophie replies to him. "And you can always facetime them when you want to visit."

"Exactly," Max smiles to her. "Hey, enough of that. Look where we are! Let's enjoy our time here while we can."

"I'd like that," Sophie admits to him. "How would you like to go for a walk by the water?"

"That sounds perfect."

Natasha slowly moves up to Mac, who is on a phone call with his youngest son, Lex, who is back in Kelsey Lake. She is still trying to take in the beauty that is the Barracuda Blue and Maui, Hawaii.

"Everything okay with your youngest son?" Natasha asks Mac, who hangs up his phone.

"I'm not sure," Mac taps the end of his phone. "I could tell he was keeping something from me, but he said it was nothing that couldn't wait until after the launch."

"He knows how much you have worked on the Pink Roses campaign," Natasha reminds him. "He probably wants you to focus on the campaign and launch and nothing else."

"I suppose you're right," Mac smiles back to her. "Thank you, by the way. You and the Roboto team have been so crucial in this entire process."

"That's the point of a collaboration," she chuckles back to him. "Because your team has been just as driven to ensure this is a huge success."

"This will be a huge success," Mac winks back at her. "You and I, we will take the business world by storm. Nothing can stop us now."

"From your mouth to God's ears," Natasha winks back to him.

"Wow, the pictures I saw of this place do not do it justice," Isabelle explains to Jacob as they leave the foyer of the Barracuda Blue and step on to the sun deck. "It is breathtaking."

"That it is," Jacob replies to her as he comes up next to her. "And just think, tomorrow night, you will be here, modelling that dress and wearing the crown with the Pink Roses in it. You're going to be the most beautiful woman at the party, in the most beautiful of settings."

Isabelle feels her cheeks flush at his compliment. "That's very sweet of you."

"I mean it Isabelle," Jacob looks back at into her eyes. "And I meant what I said in Twin Peaks; I hope this trip can be a way for us to reconnect as well. I know it is a business trip, but I'd like to try to carve out some time for the two of us."

"I'd like that a lot," Isabelle responds to him as she grabs his hand and squeezes it. "And I think this is the best place for us to reconnect."

Across the deck, Cassie emerges from behind a large palm tree. She sees Jacob and Isabelle holding hands and smiling to each other. She feels her blood boil at the sight.

"That's why I've been working to ruin this launch," she whispers. "I will get you back, Jacob. I will not let Isabelle blackmail me into staying away from the man I love. And when this is all over, Isabelle will wish she crossed me."

Dominick's Townhouse

On the coffee table in the living room of Dominick's townhouse, there are multiple bridal magazines scattered around while Abby and Dominick both hold their laptops in their hands, as they have started to plan their upcoming wedding. Abby, still, can't believe that she and Dominick are engaged again, and will be married once his divorce from Eva is finalized.

"I really like this dress," Abby turns her IPad screen to show Dominick the dress. "It is different than the one that I wore in Las Vegas when we got married the first time."

Dominick smirks back to her. "Honestly, Abigail, you could wear anything, anything at all, and you'd still be the most beautiful bride."

Abby chuckles back to him. "You flatter me."

"Whatever you want, whatever you need for this wedding, you can have. I want to give you the wedding of your dreams, especially since we eloped last time, and this wedding, well, it will be a larger affair."

"I am excited by the idea of having all of my friends and family at the ceremony this time," she admits to him. "Oh Dominick, you've made me the happiest woman in the world."

Dominick leans over and kisses her softly on her lips. "Good because you have made me the happiest man."

Before Abby can respond, the doorbell rings. She looks back at her fiancé. "Are you expecting anyone?"

"No, I am not."

"Alright, I'll see who it is," Abby says as she puts her IPad down on the table and scurries off the front door. She opens it and is surprised to see Ethan standing on the other side. "Ethan. What…what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see how my grandfather was doing," Ethan admits to her. "I know he just found out about me, but I do want him to continue to get healthier."

"I am sure that he would appreciate that," Abby says as she moves to let him in the house. "But please…"

"Don't worry," he whispers back to her, cutting her off. "It's our secret."

With that, he turns and moves into the living room, where he sees Dominick sitting on the sofa. "Ethan, hello! What brings you by?"

Ethan smiles back to him as he realizes that Dominick and Abby have been planning their wedding. "I was in the neighborhood and wanted to see how you're doing. But you're looking better every time I see you."

Dominick chuckles back to him. "Abby has given me a new sense of life and purpose," he tells Ethan, who gulps heavily. "Actually, you stopping by is perfect because it gives me the chance to ask you something."

"Uh, sure? What's up?"

"Well, as you can see, Abby and I, we are planning our wedding. Which means, I'll need a best man. I know you just came into my life, but what a better way for us to get to know one another then you standing up for me? What do you say, Ethan? Be next to me while I marry the woman of my dreams?"

Ethan uneasily chuckles as he looks over at Abby. As soon as he sees her, he imagines the two of them having sex again. He shakes his head and looks back at his grandfather, who is eagerly awaiting a positive response to his request.

"Of course," Ethan finds himself saying as Abby gulps. "I'd love to stand up for you, Dominick. Count me in!"

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Victoria takes a sip of her white wine while she waits for Eva to arrive at her table. She and her mother are having some wine and cheese together so they can catch up on the latest on-goings with one another. Victoria, also, plans on telling her that she wants to get a seat on the board at Robertson Enterprises. Victoria hopes that Paige is able to convince her family that Victoria should have a spot on the board, because if she does, she will give Paige the video evidence of Abby and Ethan having sex. Victoria believes that would allow Paige to prevent Dominick from marrying Abby again, and thus, maybe want to make his marriage to Eva work.

"You look a million miles away," Eva announces as she sits across from her daughter. "What are you thinking about?"

Victoria uneasily sighs back to her as she pours her mother a glass of wine from the bottle she ordered. "Honestly, just my future and how I'm looking to make a change."

Eva arches her eyebrow as she takes a sip of her wine. "A change? What kind of change? A good one, I hope."

"I'd like to think so," Victoria chuckles to her. "I'm hoping to become a board member at Robertson Enterprises. I…I think it makes sense."

"You'll have to explain that logic to me," Eva admits to her.

"Well, I am married to Bryce; Bryce's family runs the company. And you and your husband are involved in the company. If I am looking to make a change, becoming a part of the company where so much of my family, both by blood and marriage, seems to be the most logical place to start."

Eva nods back to her. "I…I actually think that's a great idea," Eva admits to her. "Do you think the family will go for it?"

"I hope so," Victoria tells her. "A lot is riding on this. I want this position more than I've ever wanted anything else in my life."

Robertson Enterprises

Paige steps off the elevator at Robertson Enterprises and slowly walks towards the main office door. She pauses and fixes her outfit before she takes a deep breath. She knows that, inside, her family is waiting for her as she asked for a meeting with them. She has to see where they stand on the idea of Victoria getting a seat on the board; moreover, Paige knows that she has to convince them to do this because she wants to ensure that she can get the information from Victoria that will help her stop Dominick from marrying Abby.

"You're all here, thanks for being so prompt," Paige announces to Leah, Jeff, and Tyler, who are all in the main office, looking at their laptops.

"It's not every day you ask to see all of us," Tyler tells his niece with a chuckle. "We are assuming that this has something to do with the company?"

"It does," Paige nods back to him.

"Well, we already had a meeting about how we can counter the Pink Roses launch that is going to happen at Roboto. We are well aware that we can't allow them to outshine us," Leah tells her daughter quickly.

"That is partly why I wanted to see you all," Paige informs them. "I…I think we need some new blood around here. Someone that has great ideas and could really be a huge asset."

"Who are you thinking of hiring?" Jeff asks her quickly.

"Victoria Franky," Paige reveals to them as Leah looks back at her in shock. "I think she should work here and have a seat on the board."

"Absolutely not," Leah immediately replies to her. "That is the worst idea you've ever had."

Tyler looks back at Leah before he looks at Paige. "I tend to agree with Leah on this one," he admits to her. "Victoria isn't going to work here, not now, not ever."
