The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino


Greg sits at the bar of the Pink Flamingo with a martini in front of him. His mind is racing on the fact that he has made the decision to leave Twin Peaks this fall after the pending trial that he will be a part of as Madeline has sued Robbie and Kim for millions of dollars since she feels like she wasn't entitled to a divorce settlement when Robbie annulled their marriage to remarry Kim on her deathbed. He feels like nothing good has happened to him since he came to Twin Peaks; he sent Cheresa to a bible camp after she came out of the closet; Brooke cheated on him, again, and turned out to be the Rose Peddle killer, killing Shelley, Brad, Albertinah, and everyone thought, Eva; his on again and off again relationship with Kim ended when she decided to stay married to Robbie, instead of returning to him once she knew she was going to make a full recovery from her shooting.

"I just can't take anymore," he whispers to himself as he takes a sip of his drink. "Too much has happened; the fresh start, it might help me."

"You know they say talking to your drink is the first sign of madness," a voice calls from behind Greg, who turns his head and sees Madeline approaching him. "I am teasing, can I join you? That martini looks good."

"Sure," Greg replies to her as she sits next to him. "I've been meaning to reach out to you anyways, so this is perfect."

"Reach out? Why? Has something happened with Robbie and Kim that I should know about?" she asks him as she takes a sip of her martini.

"No, not directly," Greg tells her quickly. "I've just made a decision."

Madeline arches her eyebrow back to him. "A decision? What kind of decision?"

"I'm leaving town Madeline," he reveals to her as Madeline opens her eyes wider in surprise. "After the trial, I've decided that I'm leaving Twin Peaks, and honestly, I don't think I will ever come back."

"Are you sure? Your children are here?"

"I'm sure," Greg sighs back to her. "After everything that has happened, I need a clean break. And, with technology, I can see Abby and Cheresa on the screen anytime. I need this Madeline, I need this more than you know."

 

One Day House

Nicholas sits behind his desk at the One Day House looking over his laptop screen. His mind, however, is not focused on the previous day when he went to Andy's condo and saw the muddy footprints that have spooked Andy to his core. He realized that Andy was right that the footprints were only on the carpet; there was no other sign of life in the condo.

"Something just isn't adding up here," he whispers to himself. "Had someone, actually, broken into Andy's condo, there would have been footprints through out the entire condo. Instead, they were only on the carpet. Something doesn't make sense."

He stands up and moves to the small wet bar that he installed in this office recently. As he pours himself a gin and tonic, he thinks back to the night that Andy accidently killed Clayton in self-defense.

"Everything happened so damn quickly," he says as he takes a sip of his drink. "What if…my God…what if Clayton didn't die?" he asks himself in shock.

"What if that son of a bitch is alive and driving Andy to the bottle?" he asks himself as he sets his drink down, wondering if he just solved this mystery.

The Young Mansion

Andy creeps into the living room of the Young mansion from the staircase as he was upstairs in the bedroom that he shares with Nicholas. He can't help but think about how he had, another, nightmare about Clayton being in the mansion with him while it filled with smoke. The only two things that he could see in the living room were Clayton and the decanters, which were filled with amber coloured alcohol.

He runs his hands through his hair as he knows that he has been tempted to drink ever since he accidently killed Clayton.

"I…I keep telling everyone that I am okay and that I'm not going to fall off the wagon," he whispers to himself as he moves up to the bar. "But the longer this goes on, the more I crave the taste of alcohol…"

He slowly removes the top of the decanter and he takes a smell of the whiskey that is inside. "It would be so easy to just have one drink…no one would ever know…"

He shakes his head quickly as he puts the top back on the decanter. "No," he whispers to himself. "I have to get myself under control. I can't let that son of a bitch win!"

The Barracuda Blue; Maui, Hawaii

Quinn steps out of the Barracuda Blue and on to the pool deck. The sight of how the area has been transformed to the launch party almost takes her breath away. She feels incredibly lucky that she is there and witnessing everything that is unfolding. She grabs a glass of champagne from one of the passing waiters and takes a sip.

"This view, does it ever get old?" she asks Orvilla, who is looking out at the ocean waves that are crashing into the beach just beyond them.

Orvilla looks back at Quinn with a sly grin on her face. "It does not," she replies to her. "I don't believe we have formally met yet; I am Orvilla Anderson."

"Quinn Cunningham," the blonde woman shakes the other woman's hand. "Orvilla? As in the Orvilla that runs the Barracuda Blue?"

"The one and only," Orvilla purses her lips together.

"I guess I don't know what to say," Quinn admits to her. "This place is beautiful, but I thought the Thornton family ran the resort?"

"Well, yes," Orvilla begins to explain. "You see, my sister, Kymberlynn, she married into the Thornton family; I did not, hence why my last name is different."

"I see," Quinn replies to her. "And your sister, is she coming to the launch?"

"I'm afraid not," Orvilla continues. "After her husband passed away, the father of her children, Kymberlynn couldn't hand it and she left the Barracuda Blue. None of us have seen or heard from her in years."

"I had no idea that when I was talking to Lyzz that she hadn't seen or heard from her mother in years," Quinn says. "I'm…I'm really sorry for bringing up these painful memories."

"You didn't," Orvilla tells her. "The truth is, I was never close to Kymberlynn and her leaving the Barracuda Blue is the best thing that ever could have happened."

"I am feeling so grateful that my Mom agreed to let us come on this trip," Sophie tells Max as they walk by the pool. The lights from the launch party are sparkling on the top of the water as they stop walking and look at one another. "This place, it's magical."

"It sure is," Max replies to her. "I am really happy that you put in a good word for both of us, Sophie."

"Of course," Sophie looks back at him. "You and I, we've worked so well together on the project. It was only fitting that we come together."

"We are a good team," he tells her. "Even with you helping with me with Isabelle. I really appreciate it."

Sophie feels her cheeks flush back to him. "In case you haven't noticed, you mean a lot to me Max. I…I might have a small crush on you, if I am honest."

Max chuckles back to her. "I'm very flattered by that," he tells her. "You're a sweet girl, Sophie, you really are."

Sophie feels her heart skip a beat as Max didn't say that he had a crush on her too. She forces a smile on her face as she looks back at Max, wondering if they will ever be more than just friends and co-workers.

"The guests seem to be having a good time so far," Natasha explains to Mac as she grabs another glass of champagne. She, so far, is thrilled with how the launch party is going. She just hopes that it continues to go off as planned as they are getting closer to the big reveal of the Pink Roses.

"I agree," Mac looks back at the woman that he has worked so closely with on the launch. "Let's hope that the rest of the launch goes this well."

"I can't see anything getting in our way," Natasha replies to him. "The launch, it's only a few minutes away. And when the official launch happens, Mac, you need to brace yourself because we will be the talk of the town."

Mac chuckles back to her. "I can't wait," he tells her. "After all of these months of working together, all of our hard work is finally paying off."

"I will drink to that," Natasha tells him before she takes a sip of her champagne.

***

Stacey paces back and forth in the suite where she was helping Isabelle get ready for the main launch of the Pink Roses. Now, Isabelle is putting her dress on and Stacey is waiting to see if she needs any more help. While she moves back and forth, Stacey puts her hand on her stomach and feels a sense of emotion come over her as she recalls how Isabelle shared that she recently miscarried her own child.

"No matter what happens," Stacey whispers to herself. "I will protect you. And you will be a part of my family, with Drake and Poppy," Stacey says as she thinks of her son and daughter, whom are back home in Kelsey Lake. "Nothing bad will happen to you, I promise you that."

She looks up when she hears a door open and Isabelle emerges in a long, cream coloured dress. Stacey gasps at the sight of how beautiful Isabelle is.

"My goodness, you're a vision," Stacey smiles back to her.

Isabelle grins back at her. "You're so kind, thank you," she says as she moves to the large mirror and looks at herself. "This dress, it is stunning."

"You wear it well," Stacey tells her. "This entire launch is going to be amazing because you're the lead model."

Isabelle turns to her and pulls her into a hug. "Meeting you and having this time getting to know you has been really special, Stacey. I'd like to think we are friends?"

"We are," Stacey nods back to her as they exit their embrace. "Now, are you ready for to kick this launch into high gear?"

"As ready as I will ever be!"

Outside the suite, the two men that Kent hired, Cal and Denis, quickly walk up to the door. They look around to ensure no one is coming before they look at one another.

"This is the room," Cal whispers. "We need to make this quick and easy, okay?"

"We'll just grab the girl and go, easy as that," Denis chuckles back to him as they prepare to open the door to the suite.
