The Barracuda Blue; Maui, Hawaii

Everything happens so quickly but seemingly it happens in slow motion at the same time. Natasha turns around and sees Cole, Ash and Lyzz moving closer to her; the sight of the three approaching causes the gunman, Cal, to be spooked and he turns his aim from Natasha towards the three of them. He pulls the trigger multiple times and shots start firing!

Natasha turns and looks at Cole, Ash and Lyzz and screams out in horror! The guests quickly all start to duck, trying to hide from the spraying bullets.

Ash, however, isn't so lucky as a bullet hits his chest and he falls the ground in a pool of blood. Cole wraps his warms around Lyzz and pulls her to the ground, not having seen Ash be shot.

Meanwhile, Natasha looks up and around as dust starts to spread around the pool side, as the shots have stopped as the gun must be out of bullets. She looks around and feels her heart skip a beat when she sees Mac and Kent moving up behind the two goons. Denis and Cal look around, almost in shock, by the fact that Denis started to shoot his weapon. He was was startled by the arrival of Cole, Lyzz, and Ash and he started to shoot. They look at one another wondering where this plan went wrong. Mac and Kent, who are still behind them, nod to one another, realizing that they have an opportunity. Suddenly, Mac and Kent jump on the men and tackle them to the ground!

"Help! Police!" Natasha stands up, as police officers arrive on site, as Kent and Mac hold Denis and Cal to the ground. Orvilla had called the authorities after she helped Kent save Stacey from being kidnapped. "These two, they need to be arrested now!"

The police rush over to where Mac and Kent are holding the two thugs and start to place them under arrest. Natasha breathes a sigh of relief, thinking that the nightmare is over, but then she hears a blood curling scream.

The Davenport House; Chris, Trenyce, BJ, & Albertinah's Home

"You're pacing, you're going to have to tell me what's going on if you want me to help you," Daisy observes to Trenyce, who is walking back and forth in the living room of the home that she lives in with Chris and her children. Daisy takes a sip of the wine that she is holding as she wonders what is going on with her niece.

Trenyce finally stops and looks back at her Aunt as she knows that her mind is racing over the fact that she was forced to reveal to Andrew that he is Albertinah's father; she felt like he was pressuring her to come clean and she finally snapped and revealed that he is the child's father. She didn't think that she could lie anymore after he told her parents are most likely to donate bone marrow when Albertinah was ill with her severe aplastic anemia.

"My…my life is going to become a huge disaster," she whispers back to her as she tries to keep her lower lip from trembling. "My family, it could be forever changed."

"What happened?" Daisy asks her out of concern as she stands up and moves closer to her. "You're starting to scare me."

"It's a long story," Trenyce sighs back to her as she arches her eyebrow when she hears the doorbell ring, as she wonders who could be at the house this late. "Excuse me for a minute."

Trenyce moves to the door, where she sees Cheresa standing on the other side. "Cheresa, this is a surprise, please come in."
Cheresa moves inside and walks into the living room, where she sees Daisy. "Daisy, hi," Cheresa tells her as they hug quickly.

"Hi Cheresa," Daisy smiles back to her. "What brings you by?"

"I had to see my Mom," Cheresa replies as she turns and looks at Trenyce. "Things are bad, Mom. Really bad."

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

"It's Chris," Cheresa reveals to her. "He came to see me earlier. He…he knows the truth. He knows everything," Cheresa tells her as the blood drains from Trenyce's face and Daisy arches her eyebrow.

"How can this be happening?" Trenyce asks as water fills her eyes.

"Okay, you have to tell me what's going on," Daisy firmly tells the women. "What is happening? And why do I get the feeling that it's bad?"

The River Rock Casino

Chris steps off the elevator at the casino and makes a beeline towards one of the suite doors. After hearing Trenyce and Andrew talk about their affair, Chris went to see Cheresa, where he was stunned that she already knew of Trenyce's affair. Gutted, he walked out on his daughter, needing space. Now, he's at the casino, ready for another battle.

"Andrew, open the door," he yells as he bangs on the door. "I'm not leaving here until we speak!"

Andrew opens the door only wearing some grey sweatpants as he was gearing down for the night. He looks back at Chris in surprise. "Chris, what the hell? Do you know what time it is? I could get a noise complaint!"

Chris chuckles back to him as he moves inside the suite. "A noise complaint is the least thing you should be worried about."

Andrew closes the door and looks back at Chris. "What is this all about? Where is this attitude coming from?"

"I know," Chris grits his teeth back to him. "I know everything. I was there, tonight, on the docks. I heard you talk with my wife."

Andrew gulps heavily as he realizes that Chris must know that he and Trenyce slept together, and that he is Albertinah's father. He wanted the truth tonight, but he never thought that Chris would have been listening. How did Chris even know that he and Trenyce were meeting? He has many questions but he knows that first he has to deal with the angry man in front of him.

"I…uh…I don't know what to say," Andrew sighs back to him. "I am sure that sorry won't cover it."

"You're damn right that sorry isn't enough," Chris moves closer to him. "Not only did you sleep with my wife, but you lied to me about it for months! Where the hell do you get off?"

"I know," Andrew shakes his head back to him. "For the record, Chris, it only happened once and Trey and I, we knew that it had to stop; we couldn't hurt you."

Chris chuckles back to him. "After you fuck my wife you knew that you couldn't hurt me? That's rich."

"And Albertinah, I had no idea that she was mine until tonight," Andrew tells him, as Chris' eyes open wider in horror as he had left before he heard Trenyce admit that tonight.

"That little girl…" Chris starts to say back to him. "No…"

"I'm… sorry."

Chris punches Andrew in the face, which causes him to stumble backwards. "You son of a bitch!" Chris yells at him, as Andrew glares back at him with a bloody nose. "You will pay for this! You will pay for destroying my family!"

Robertson Enterprises

"Alright, if everyone is ready, we will begin the vote," Tyler says as he sits at the head of the boardroom table in Robertson Enterprises. He had called an emergency boardroom meeting at the company to put a vote together to see if Victoria should be offered a position at the company. While he has been against the idea, Tyler has thought that Eva made some valid points about Victoria being family and that she should be considered. He thought the only way it would be fair would be to have a vote from the board members. "Once again, this is to determine whether or not we are going to hire Victoria Barty at the company. Her mother, Eva, has made some valid points for her to be considered as an employee."

"I'll go first," Leah purses her lips together. "I am firmly against this idea, so I vote nay."

"I also vote nay," Tyler look at his sister, who smiles back to him, thrilled that he is supporting her.

"Well," Eva chimes in. "I have two votes since I am voting with Dominick's proxy, so that means that I have two votes for yay."

Tyler and Leah uneasily look at one another as Paige gulps heavily. She realizes that the vote is coming down to her. She looks over at Leah, who smiles at her daughter, knowing that Paige will vote her way. Paige shuts her eyes and recalls how Victoria told her that if she got her a position at the company, then she will give Paige the information she needs to stop Abby from marrying Dominick again.

"I…uh…I vote…" Paige begins to says as she fiddles with her fingers as she is nervous. "I vote yay."

Leah and Tyler gasp in shock at her words as Eva claps her hands together. "Perfect, then it's settled," Eva smiles to everyone in the room as Leah and Tyler continue to shoot Paige daggers. "Victoria will become a member of this wonderful company."

The Barracuda Blue; Maui, Hawaii

Isabelle rushes into the foyer of the Barracuda Blue and tries to catch her breath. The shooting happened so fast, but now she as she peers back onto the pool deck, she can see that the two kidnappers are being arrested.

She exhales heavily as she tries to get her heartrate back under control. "The nightmare…it's over," she tells herself relieved that everything can start to get back to normal. She just hopes that Jacob is okay; she knows that he went with Kent to try to save Stacey. The fact that Kent helped Mac tackle the men, must mean that they were able to save Stacey, but she hasn't seen him yet.

She turns around as she starts to try to find Jacob, as she wants to ensure that he is okay. However, when she turns she glares when she sees Cassie moving up to her.

"Cassie," Isabelle purses her lips together. "I'm glad that you're okay."

"Yea, thanks. You too," Cassie replies to her. "Have…have you seen Jacob?"

"No, I was just about to go look for him," Isabelle says back to her. "But before I do, we need to talk. What the hell are you doing here? Why are you back? I thought I told you to leave!"

"You did," Cassie nods back to her. "And I did leave. But now I'm back, and I'm not going anywhere, not ever again."

***

Natasha feels her head spinning as she looks at the chaos that is unfolding around her outside on the pool deck as people are starting to realize that people are hurt from the barricade of bullets from the goons, who have been arrested.

"Hey, how are you?" Mac asks her as he rushes up to her.

"I'm…I'm okay, I think, you were so brave tackling those men," Natasha looks back at him.

"They had to be stopped," Mac tells her. "Kent and I, we just acted on instinct. We…we should walk around to ensure everyone is safe."

Suddenly, they hear another blood curling scream! They rush over and see Lyzz in tears as she sees Ash, who has been shot! Then, Kent yells out in horror across the pool as he stands over Quinn's bloody body, as she was also shot.

"Natasha! Oh my God!" Max yells out in horror as Natasha looks over at him. "It's Sophie! She's…she's been shot!"
