The River Rock Casino

In the back staircase of the casino, Robin feels the blood drain from her face as she looks at Cory, who has revealed himself to be alive to her. As if that wasn't enough, Cory also just finished telling her that it was Antonio, her fiancé, who arranged for his plane to crash all those months ago. Robin feels her heart racing inside her chest as this is all happening so quickly; she thought the masquerade ball was going to be a celebration of her pending marriage to Antonio, and now, she doesn't feel like she knows which way is up or down.

"You're not saying anything, are you okay?" Cory asks her, sensing that Robin is feeling overwhelmed.

Robin takes a deep breath. "I…I don't know what to say," she whispers back to him. "I feel like my head is spinning Cory. This…this is so much to take in."

"I know," Cory replies to her. "I never meant for any of this to happen, but once I found out that Sophie had been shot, I knew I had to come back to Twin Peaks. And, I knew that I had to tell you the entire truth."

"Who else knows about this?"

"No one," Cory informs her. "You're the first person that I've told that I'm alive and that Antonio caused the plane crash."

Robin puts her hand on her stomach as she feels sick to her stomach. She can't believe that the man she is about to marry, the man that she has been sharing a bed with, tried to kill Cory so they could be together. The thought is stunning to her.

"And you're positive that Antonio did this? You're sure that he is the one that caused the plane to crash?" Robin asks him quickly.

"I am sure," Cory nods back to her. "The burner phone, the message came from Antonio. He did this to keep us apart."

"My God," Robin whispers back to him as she looks into his eyes and then kisses him on the lips softly. "Cory, I'm so sorry that this happened."

"It's not your fault, Robin. You have nothing to apologize for. I…I just had to tell you the truth."

"I'm glad that you did," Robin looks back at him. "And now, I have to go find Antonio. That son of a bitch has some explaining to do!"

"Wait, I need you to be careful," Cory tells her. "There's no telling what Antonio will do if he feels like he's been put into a corner."

"Don't worry," Robin replies to him quickly. "I know exactly how to make sure Antonio never hurts any of us ever again."

The River Rock Casino

Meanwhile, in the main gaming room of the casino, Paige slowly puts her hand on hip as she looks at Victoria as they look at one another. Paige just told Victoria that it is time for her to reveal the information she has that will help her stop Dominick from marrying Abby again. Paige knows that she held up her end of the bargain by getting Victoria position at Robertson Enterprises, and now, she wants to know what information Victoria has.

"Well, Victoria, don't keep me waiting," Paige sighs to her. "What is this information that you have Abby? What can I use to ensure she doesn't marry my grandfather again?"

Victoria chuckles back to her as she takes a sip of her champagne. "You really hate the fact that Abby is going to marry Dominick again, huh?"

"You're damn straight I do," Paige nods back to her. "Abby is nothing but a useless gold-digger and I won't have my grandfather be a part of that, not again."

"To be honest with you," Victoria smiles to Paige. "This will work out perfectly because I think that this will help Dominick and my mother reunite. Because I know that Eva still loves Dominick with all of her heart."

"Then this is a win-win," Paige tells her. "So, tell me, what do you have on Abby? What will help me stop the wedding?"

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Donovan and Lukas pace back and forth in the waiting room of the hospital while they await for an update on Olly, who was taken to the hospital by the housekeeper of the Richardson Estate when she discovered that he had a high fever. When they arrived at the hospital, Chantel told them that Olly was being looked at by a doctor and they should have an answer very soon.

"Gah, this waiting is driving me crazy," Donovan sighs as he runs his hand through his hair.

"Me too," Lukas replies to him as they lock eyes. "Thank you, by the way."

"Thank you? For you what, Lukas?"

"You and Sergio," Lukas says with an arched eyebrow. "You looked like you were having a great time at the party."

"We were," Donovan admits to him. "But Olly, our son, he will always come first with me, you have to know that."

"I do now. Just, thanks for being here with me."

"Of course," Donovan locks eyes with him before he sees Chantel move into the waiting room as he looks over Lukas' shoulder. "Hey, do you have an update on our son?"

The men rush up to the young nurse, who opens his file. Chantel reads the file and then gasps out loud. "What is it? What's wrong?" Lukas asks her, worried that she has read something about Olly.

"I…I can't believe this," Chantel tells them as she looks at Donovan and then Lukas. "Olly…he's…well…I gave birth to him. I'm the woman that adopted my child to you two."

The Tower's, Floor One; Andy's Condo

The only light in Andy's condo is coming from Nicholas' phone as he sits in the armchair in the corner of the living room. He decided to skip Robin and Antonio's engagement party because he saw Clayton on the video footage from the camera he planted in Andy's condo and he wants to see if he will come back. He knows that the sooner he can find Clayton, the sooner he can put an end to the game that he is playing of gaslighting Andy, which is making him question his sobriety.

"You have to come back eventually," Nicholas whispers to himself as he scrolls through his Instagram feed. "Because you will want to leave more footprints. And when you do, I'll be here, waiting for you. And then, we will end this once and for all."

Nicholas freezes when he hears a key enter the lock of the front door of the condo. He shuts his phone off and rushes to the foyer, where he stands in the area behind where the door will swing open. He takes a deep breath realizing that this could be his chance with Clayton.

Slowly, the door opens and a figure moves into the condo. As soon as the door closes, Nicholas grabs the person that entered the condo! He whips the person around and is shocked to see Clayton standing in front of him!

"You sick son of a bitch!" Nicholas yells at him. "This ends now!"

Clayton gets a sly grin on his face. "Hello Nicholas."

The River Rock Casino

Meggan orders another drink from the bar that is located in the casino as the engagement party continues to be in full swing. She takes a healthy sip of it as she recalls earlier she saw Jeff and Leah talking, and she assumed that they had reunited. Because of the liquor, she ended up confronting them and Leah asked her if she had been drinking. Meggan denied and rushed off, but the thought that someone could know that she has fallen off the wagon made her insane. She doesn't want anyone to know that she's drinking again because they will want her to get help, and she is loving being in her current state again.

She turns around just as she's taking another sip of her drink but she feels her heart skip a beat when she sees Jeff approaching her.

"We need to talk," Jeff tells her as he grabs the drink from her hand.

"Hey! What the hell?" Meggan asks him, as he smells the drink.

"So, we were right, you are drinking again?" Jeff shakes his head back to her. "What happened Meg? You were sober for years!"

"It's none of your damn business what I do, Jeff!" Meggan hisses back at him. "Give me my drink back, I paid for it!"

"You don't need anymore booze, Meggan," he tells her quickly. "You need to get sober. You need to get back on the wagon."

"A lot of good that did me," she cuffs back to him. "You have no idea what I've been through the last few years."

"So, enlighten me," Jeff shrugs his shoulders to her. "What happened that made you do this?"

Meggan chuckles back to him. "Well, for starters, my father faked Noah's death; the little boy that I thought I killed all those years ago, he's alive and well. He put me through thinking that I killed someone, and for what? For nothing," she tells him. "And then, I was at the Pink Flamingo, tempted to drink, when this attractive man sits next to me, and I kiss him, only for you and Leah to announce to me that he is Noah. So, yea, I wanted to have sex with my nephew, Jeff, are you happy? I wanted your son to make love to me! So, give me my fucking drink so I can cope," she sneers as he slowly passes her the drink back, stunned by what she just revealed to him.

***

The kiss between Madeline and Robbie quickly intensifies as she moves her hand behind his head and pulls him deeper to her. Immediately, however, Robbie pulls himself off of his former wife and looks back at her in shock.

"What the hell was that, Madeline?" he asks her in horror.

"I…I was just giving you an option as to how this lawsuit could end," she tells him as she recalls how he was asking her about the lawsuit that she filed against him because she felt like she didn't get a proper divorce settlement when she kissed him.

"You know that I'm in love with Kim," Robbie replies to her. "It's why I didn't come back to you after Kim didn't die from that gunshot wound."

"Ugh," Madeline groans. "Don't remind me. I am tormented by agreeing to let you annul our marriage each and every day."

"You should look at it as a blessing," Robbie says. "You can know find someone that loves you for you, not be with someone who was in love with someone else."

"You were in love with me," Madeline corrects him. "I know you were. You don't just stop loving someone because your ex-wife gets shot."

"I don't want to go over this with you again," Robbie sighs back to her. "The bottom line is that I am married to Kim, and that's not going to change."

Madeline chuckles back to him. "Well, she's with her ex right now too. So, there's that."

Robbie arches his eyebrow back to her. "What are you talking about? Where is Kim and who is she with?"

"She's with Tyler," Madeline reveals to her. "In the back boardroom. They've been there for hours. Who knows what they've been up too to pass the time?"


Robbie rolls his eyes as storms past Madeline, desperate to find Kim, and find out what she's been up too with Tyler.

***

In the backboard room of the casino, Kim and Tyler continue to look into one another eyes as he squeezes her hand. They have been trapped in the boardroom for hours now, and while they have been together, they have been talking about their history and how much they have been through together, including the death of their son, Blake.

"After Blake passed, I…I sort of gave up on the idea that you and I could be together," Tyler whispers back to her. "You moved on with Bob and I…I've always just floated around ever since."

"I wouldn't say that," Kim replies to him. "You've had some romances, you were engaged to Daisy, remember?"

"I remember," Tyler nods back to her. "The truth is, though, Kim, no one has replaced you in my life, not even close."

"Tyler," Kim whispers back to him as he caresses her cheek with his hand. "What we had, it was a long time ago."

"For me, it feels like yesterday," he tells her. "And if I am honest with myself, and with you, you've always been the woman that is in my heart."

Kim smiles as she looks back into his eyes. "What are you saying, Tyler?"

"I'm saying that I love you, Kim," he reveals to her. "I always have, and I always will."

"I…I don't know what to say," she replies to him.

"Don't say anything," he whispers as he leans closer to her. Their eyes lock as his lips slowly move towards her, wanting to kiss her more than he has ever wanted anything else in his life.

***

"Please don't keep me waiting any longer," Paige looks back at Victoria with intent. "What do you have on Abby?"

"Alright, I'll tell you," Victoria replies to her as she moves closer to her. She looks over her shoulder to ensure no one else is around her because she doesn't want anyone else to hear what she is about to say. "Abby…she…she hasn't been faithful to Dominick."

Paige's eyes open wider in surprise. "Abby? She cheated?"

Victoria nods back to her. "I saw Abby having sex with another man."

"Who? Who was she sleeping with?"

"Ethan," Victoria replies to her as Paige gasps in horror. "Abby was sleeping with Dominick's grandson and I have proof."

***

Antonio opens the door to his office and moves inside. He takes a deep breath as he moves towards the desk. He, seemingly, lost track of his fiance at their engagement party, and while he has been looking for her, Chris, Daisy, Trenyce, and Andrew all approached him and told him that they wanted him to pay for the chaos he has created in their lives.

"They are absolutely insane if they think I am to blame for their problems," he whispers to himself. "I didn't put a gun to Andrew and Trenyce's head and force them to sleep together; they caused this, it is their lies that caused all of this."

He stops and chuckles to himself as he thinks about how he convinced Daisy to be a prostitute at the casino and how he convinced Andrew to continue to gamble by offering him loans; since they, had has been keeping them under his thumb by claiming that they haven't repaid their debts to him yet.

Behind Antonio, who is taking a drink of his scotch, his office door opens and a dark figure emerges. The person, who is in all black, pulls out a small, black, handgun from their bag and aims it at Antonio. Three shots are fired and all the bullets hit Antonio's back! Antonio's eyes open wider in horror as his glass falls to the ground and shatters on the ground; slowly, Antonio's bloody body crumbles to the ground, and the figure quickly rushes out of the office.
