Twin Peaks General Hospital

Robin takes a sip of her water while she sits in the waiting room of the hospital. The mask that she was wearing at the masquerade party is in the chair next to her. Her head is spinning about everything that happened at her engagement party; first, Cory revealed himself to be alive. She can't believe that he didn't die in the plane crash like everyone thought. Then, he told her that Antonio is the one who caused his plane to crash because he wanted Robin for himself. She can't believe the lengths that Antonio went too to ensure that they ended up together. Then, when she went to confront her fiancé, she found him shot in the back in his office at the casino. Immediately, she called for help and now, she is waiting to hear how he is doing.

"Robin," a panicked Isabelle says as she storms into the waiting room. "I…I just heard about my Dad. Where is he? How is he doing?"

Robin stands up and moves closer to Isabelle, grabbing her hands when she gets close enough to her. "He's with the doctors now. I'm…I'm waiting to hear how he is doing."

"How did this happen?" Isabelle asks as she runs her hands through her long hair. "Who would want to shoot my Dad?"

Robin sighs back to her. "I, uh, wish I knew," she replies to her.

"I need you to tell me everything that you know," Isabelle looks back at her with intent. "What happened?"

"I don't know a lot," Robin admits to her. "We were at the engagement party; Antonio and I, somehow we got separated for a while. I thought he might have been in his office, so I went to find him. And when I got there, there was a body on the ground covered in blood. It was Antonio. That's when I called 9-1-1; that's all I know."

"I can't believe this," a tear falls down Isabelle's cheek. "My Dad, he has to be okay, he has to be."

Before Robin can say anything else, Madeline walks into the waiting room, causing Robin and Isabelle to turn and rush up to the doctor.

"How is my father?" Isabelle asks her, needing answers about how Antonio is doing. "When can I see him?"


The Victors Estate; Frederick's Lair

"I am surprised you're here so late," Frederick tells Bryce as they move into the living room of the Victors mansion, where Frederick is living. He knows that the engagement party was this evening, and that it was a masquerade party, so the fact that his grandson is there is surprising to him. "How did the party go?"

"It was fine," Bryce replies to him quickly. "Victoria had a late business meeting, so I decided to come see you."

"Can I get you a drink?" Frederick asks him as he moves to the bar and pours two scotches and then passes one to Bryce. "So, what is this visit all about?"

"It's about your idea for me to marry you and Felicia," Bryce looks back at him as he takes a sip of his drink.

"Ah yes, I think we should move ahead with that," Frederick smiles back to him. "The sooner Felicia and I are married, the better of few will all be."

"That's just the thing," Bryce gulps back to him. "I…I don't think I can do it, Frederick. I don't think I can marry you and Felicia."

Robertson Enterprises

The elevator doors open and Victoria and Paige emerge into the hallway of Robertson Enterprises. They, immediately, start to move towards Victoria's office. They had been together at the masquerade ball together when Paige demanded that Victoria, finally, tell her what information she had that would help her stop Dominick from marrying Abby again. Victoria, then, stunned Paige by revealing that Abby cheated on Dominick with Ethan. Paige was rocked to her core and Victoria told her that she had proof, which is why they left the party and headed to her office.

"I have a video on a USB flash drive," Victoria explains to Paige as she opens the door to her office. "The video is of Abby and Ethan having sex with one another."

"Do I even want to know how you got a video of them having sex?" Paige asks her uneasily.

Victoria chuckles to her as she opens the drawer to her desk. "It really doesn't matter how I got the video," Victoria tells her quickly. "The point is, you now have proof that Abby cheated on Dominick."

Paige accepts the USB drive from Victoria's hand and looks at it for a moment. For weeks she has wanted to have information that could stop her grandfather from marrying Abby again, but she knows that if she reveals that Abby and Ethan slept together, her entire family will be back in the middle of a dramatic situation. She can't help but feel torn about what to do with the information now.

"I am still not sure what I am going to do," Paige admits to her.

Victoria shrugs her shoulders back to her. "It's up to you, but if you really want to ensure Dominick doesn't marry Abby again, that video help you accomplish that."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Natasha slowly moves closer to Sophie's hospital room. She just left the cafeteria as she needed to get a bite to eat and now she wants to see how her daughter is doing. She still can't believe that she was shot at the Pink Roses launch party in Hawaii and is in a coma. She just hopes that Sophie wakes up sooner than later.

As she opens the door to Sophie's room, she sees Max sitting next to her daughter. "Oh Max, I didn't realize you were here."

"I hope you don't mind," Max looks back at Natasha. "I wanted to see how Sophie was doing."

"I don't mind at all," Natasha purses her lips together. "The more friends and family that are around Sophie will help her, I really believe that."

"I believe that too," Max nods back to her. "Have the doctors given you any indication as to when she might wake up?"

"No, not yet," Natasha explains to him. "But Shane is going to run some more tests in the morning, so we should get more answers very soon."

"I hope that the test results are good news," Max sighs back to her. "I think we will all breath a sigh of relief when Sophie wakes up."

Before Natasha can respond, Sophie starts to make some noises. Natasha rushes up to her daughter and grabs her hand. "Sophie? Sophie, can you hear me? Please baby girl, open your eyes! Come back to me, please come back to me!"

Meanwhile, in the file room, Penny paces back and forth as she waits for Cory to arrive. She got a message from him that he told Robin that he was alive and that he wanted to meet her at the hospital. Of course, they had to find a place where not a lot of people would be since not everyone knows that he is alive yet, so she told him to meet her in the file room.

Penny turns to the door when she hears it open and smile when she sees Cory move into the room. "How was the party?"

"It looked like a lot of fun," Cory replies to her quickly. "I was able to find Robin and, uh, I told her that I'm alive and that Antonio was the one that arranged the plane crash."

"How'd she react to the news?"

"She was shocked, of course," Cory tells her. "And she left to confront her fiancé. I somehow don't think that they will end up saying 'I do'. How is Sophie? Have you been able to get any new details on my daughter?"

"There is no change," Penny explains to him. "But a doctor, Shane or something, he will be doing more tests in morning."

Cory takes a deep breath. "I just pray to God that the tests show when she will wake up," he tells Penny. "And in the meantime, it will give me a chance to tell everyone else that I'm alive and that I'm back."

"Are you ready for that?" Penny asks him quickly.

"I don't have a choice," Cory says back to her. "Everyone needs to know that I'm alive; I can't stay away from Sophie, not when she needs me."

In another waiting room, Lukas and Donovan sit next to one another as they are waiting for a doctor to come in and give them another update on Olly, who was brought into the hospital with a high fever earlier in the evening. They are also a little rattled as earlier Chantel told them that she is Olly's birth mother; they hadn't seen or heard from her in so many years, that it was a little jarring to suddenly have her reappear.

"You, uh, don't think that Chantel is suddenly going to be a part of Olly's life, do you?" Lukas asks his estranged husband as he looks over at him.

Donovan gulps back to Lukas. "I mean, I don't think so? It would feel pretty random if she did, don't you think?"

"Yea, yea, you're right," Lukas sighs back to him. "I guess I am just overthinking this situation."

"She must have just connected the dots as to who we are, that's all," Donovan says. "I don't think we have anything to worry about here, other than Olly's health."

Before Lukas can respond, Dr. Stephanie Clarke emerges in the waiting room and clears her throat, which gets the men's attention. They stand up and move closer to the doctor.

"Doctor, how is Olly?" Donovan asks her quickly as he feels Lukas grab his hand.

"He will be fine," Stephanie replies to them. "I suspect he just had a small flu bug and that was the cause of the fever."

"Oh, thank God," Lukas sighs back to her. "Does that mean we can take him home?"

"Yes, you can," Stephanie informs them. "His fever broke and he is better than ever."

"Thank you doctor," Donovan smiles to her before he turns to Lukas and pulls him into a hug. "He's going to be okay, Olly is just fine."

***

At the nurses station, Chantel sits reviewing Olly's file. She can't believe that she didn't connect the dots sooner as to who Olly, Donovan and Lukas are. She hadn't thought of her baby in so many years, and now, he was being treated in the hospital where she works.

"Small world," she whispers to herself as Stephanie approaches her.

"You can file this one away," Stephanie tells her as she passes her Olly's file. "The little boy will be just fine; his dad's are taking him home as we speak."

"They must be relieved," Chantel says as she accepts the file folder from the doctor. "There's nothing worse then a sick baby."

"Isn't that the truth," Stephanie chuckles to her. "Anyways, I have to get going to my next patient. See you later, Chantel."

"Bye Doctor Clarke," Chantel waves at her before she casually opens Olly's file again and starts reading some of the details. She can't help herself but be curious about the child that she gave birth too. She arches her eyebrow though when she reads something in his file.

"That's weird," she whispers as she looks at Olly's blood type. "We have different blood types; I would have assumed that as his mother, we would have the same blood type."

In another hospital room, Abby sits on the bed in a hospital gown. She had been at the townhouse that she lives in with Dominick planning their wedding, when she, suddenly felt incredibly faint. Not wanting anything to stop her from marrying Dominick again, she came to the hospital as she knew that Cheresa was working the late shift. Cheresa has run some tests and should be back in the room to tell Abby, exactly, what is going on with her.

"I just hope it's nothing serious," Abby whispers to herself. "I don't want anything to delay my wedding to Dominick. The sooner we are married, the better off we will all be."

Abby looks at the door when Cheresa moves inside the hospital room. "Cheresa, hey," Abby smiles at her sister. "Were you able to uncover why I was feeling faint? I'm guessing it was because I skipped dinner tonight?"

Cheresa uneasily chuckles back to her as she moves closer to the bed where Abby is laying. "You're going to have to ensure you don't miss anymore meals Abs."

"I won't, I promise. So, that's all it was?"

"I'm afraid not," Cheresa looks back at her. "You felt faint because you're pregnant, Abby. You're going to have a baby," she tells Abby, who feels the blood drain from her face at the news that she is going to be a mother.

"Okay Daisy we are here, what is the big deal?" Trenyce asks her Aunt as she, Chris, and Andrew all rush into the waiting room where Daisy is sitting in a chair. All three of them still have their masquerade costumes on as Daisy told them to get to the hospital while they were still at the engagement party.

"I was outback at the casino," Daisy looks at her family. "And an ambulance arrived. They brought Antonio here."

"Antonio? Why? What happened?" Andrew asks her quickly.

"He was shot," Daisy reveals to everyone. "They took out of the back so the party wouldn't be interrupted."

Trenyce, Chris, and Andrew all look at one another as they process the news that Antonio was shot at his party. Daisy observes their reactions and realizes that none of them seem very surprised by her news.

"Andrew," Daisy pulls him aside. "I couldn't find you at the party. Where…where were you?"

Andrew gulps heavily back to her. "I…uh…I just stepped out for some air," he replies to her. "I was so hot in the casino, you know, with all the guests and being in this stupid costume."

"Okay," Daisy nervously nods back to him as she pulls him into a hug. "It looks like we got our wish; Antonio is finally paying for his crimes."

Chris, meanwhile, pulls Trenyce closer to him. "You didn't seem surprised by Daisy's news of Antonio," he tells his estranged wife.

Trenyce tries to get her heart rate back to normal as she feels it racing in her chest. "I'm not," she says. "Antonio Moretti has caused a lot of people pain in this town; I am not surprised that someone wanted him dead as a result."

Chris gulps back to her. "I can't say that you're lying about that," he admits to her. "I just can't help but wonder who would do this."

"I think the suspect list will be long," Trenyce says to him. "The police will have their work cutout for them."

"Madeline, please," Robin pleads with the doctor as they continue to stand facing one another in a waiting room. "How is Antonio? We are eager to know how he is."

"There's no easy way to say this," Madeline replies to her as she looks at Isabelle, who is turning pale. "But Antonio…he…he didn't make it."

Isabelle quickly shakes her head as tears fill her eyes. "No, that can't be true! This can't be happening!"

"I'm so sorry," Madeline whispers back to her. "But your father is dead."
