Twin Peaks General Hospital

"You're scaring me," a rattled Natasha admits to Robin as she stands up from the chair that is next to Sophie's bed in her hospital room, and she moves to the small table to pour herself a glass of water. Natasha and Leah had been summoned to her daughter's hospital room by an unknown source, only to discover that Robin, and a woman named Penny, asked them to come to join them. When Natasha and Leah asked Robin about the reason, Robin cryptically told them that she had news that would change their lives forever. "What is this news? What is going on?"

"I agree with Natasha," Leah admits to her sister as she feels her heart start to race. "What is going on?"

"I…I think that it will be easier for you to see what we are talking about then trying to explain it to you," Penny says as she moves closer to the women. "Someone is here, someone who wants to see you, all of you."

"Who is it?" Sophie asks confused by what is happening. "Who wants to see us?"

"I do," a voice calls out from the doorway. The women turn and see Cory standing there! Natasha drops her water glass on the floor and gasps, while Sophie gets tears in her eyes and Leah rushes up to Cory and hugs him.

"Cory?" Leah asks him in shock. "Is that really you?"

"It's me," Cory tells her before he exits their embrace and moves up to Natasha. He reaches out to her and touches her hand, which causes a tear to fall down Natasha's cheek. "It's really me, Nat. I'm here."

Natasha hugs Cory as she starts to weep, while Sophie looks at her parents with a smile on her face. "So, I was right, you did visit me while I was in my coma."

"I couldn't stay away," Cory whispers back to her before he hugs his daughter. "I love you so much, Sophie."

"I love you too," Sophie replies to him as they exit their embrace.

"You have some explaining to do," Natasha puts her hand on her hip and looks at her former husband. "Where the hell have you been? And why did you stay away for so long?"

Tyler steps off the elevators and moves onto the main floor of the hospital. He looks around before he spots Madeline standing at the nurse's station holding some files. He arches his eyebrow as he looks at his lover for a moment as he recalls wondering who would have wanted him and Kim to be locked together in the boardroom at Robin and Antonio's engagement party. He, then, wondered if it was Madeline as, recently, she was asking him questions about his feelings for Kim.

"Hey, I'm glad I caught you," Tyler announces to her as he moves closer to the nurses station. "Do you have a few minutes to chat?"

"Only a few," Madeline admits to him. "I'm pretty slammed here today."

"It won't take that long," Tyler replies to her. "It's about last night at the engagement party."

Madeline arches her eyebrow back to him. "What about it?"

"I ended up locked in a boardroom at the casino with Kim," Tyler reveals to her as she nods back to him.

"I know, you told me."

"Did you lock me and Kim together? Was it you that put us in the boardroom together?" Tyler asks her quickly.

"What?" Madeline gasps back to him as she tries to act surprised. "Why would you think I would do that?"

Tyler uneasily shrugs back to her. "Recently you asking me about my feelings for Kim, so I thought maybe…"

"It wasn't me," Madeline cuts him off. "But should I be jealous of anything, Tyler? What, exactly, happened in that boardroom?"

"Nothing happened," Tyler lies to her, knowing that he professed his love to Kim, and they came closer to kissing. "I am just trying to figure out who would lock us in there together."

"Well keep thinking about it, because I promise you, it wasn't me."

"Okay, okay, I believe you," Tyler sighs back to her. "But I am determined to figure this out."

***

In the staff room, Chantel lays on the sofa with her eyes closed. She is in the middle of a twelvehour shift, so on her break, she thought she would come back and try to get some rest so she can survive the second half of her workday.

While her eyes are closed, her mind is dreaming about a night that happened years earlier. Chantel is laying in a hospital bed with fresh beads of sweat on her forehead. She sees Bryce move closer to her, as he is the doctor that is going to delivery her baby.

He looks blurry in her dream and his voice is altered, but he moves closer to her. "You're doing great," he says in a wavey voice, since it's in her dream. "Keep pushing…"

Chantel nods back to him and grips her hands around some of the blankets around her as she screams out in pain as she pushes hard. Bryce moves between her legs and looks back at her. "Only a couple more pushes," he encourages her.

Suddenly, Bryce looks at up her. "He's here, the baby is here," he tells her as he moves away with the small child and starts to wash him clean.

Chantel looks over at Bryce and the baby, but she arches her eyebrow as something is wrong: she can't hear the baby crying.

Then, Chantel jumps up on the sofa, waking up from her dream. She gasps for air as she struggles to piece together the dream and what it meant.

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

Andrew takes a deep breath of the slowly turning to crisp air, as fall is in the air in Twin Peaks. He looks up at the house that Trenyce lives in with Chris and their children. He doesn't know if Chris is still planning to live there since the truth about his affair with Trenyce came out, but he can't concern himself with that now; his main concern is trying to continue to connect with Albertinah, who might be his child. He knows that he wanted to see Albertinah today because he felt like it would be a great stress relief after everything that happened the previous night, including Antonio's murder.

He moves up to the front door and rings the doorbell. He quickly scolds himself as he realizes he should have knocked on the door incase the kids were sleeping, but he can't change that now. He gulps, however, when he sees Chris opens the door.

"What are you doing here?" Chris asks him as he folds his arms over his chest. He can barely stomach the sight of the younger man since he found out about his affair with Trenyce. "You shouldn't be here, Andrew."

"I, uh, I was hoping to see Albertinah," Andrew admits to him. "The little girl, she might be mine, and I want to spend time with her."

"I don't think so," Chris shakes his head back to him. "Albertinah is still my daughter, Andrew. I am the only father that she has known."

"And that could change with one little DNA test," Andrew spits back to him. "Look, man, there's a reason why I was able to donate my bone barrow to save her, and not you."

"How dare you," Chris grits his teeth back to him. "I want you to leave, now. If you want to see Albertinah, you can call and arrange that with Trenyce, that is, if you can stay out of the bedroom long enough to visit her."

Before Andrew can respond, Chris slams the door in in his face, leaving his blood boiling. "You won't shut me out, I refuse to let that happen."

The River Rock Casino

Simona stands in the center of Antonio's former office while police officers search the space for any sort of clues that could shed light on the murder that took place the night before. Simona moves closer to Antonio's desk and bends down, where she sees some of his blood on the side of it. She shakes her head thinking that it is a tragedy that someone like Antonio was senselessly gunned down in his own office.

She stands back up and moves to the other side of his desk, where she looks at some files that are resting on top of it. She picks one up and opens it, and immediately arches her eyebrow.

"Daisy Davenport and Andrew Pherson, amounts outstanding," she reads to herself, as she gasps at the figures in front of her. "So, it seems that Ms. Davenport and Mr. Pherson owed Mr. Moretti a lot of money; that would explain why they are staying here, they must have been rent free. But with this dollar amount growing because of that high interest, I am not sure how they would have ever paid this back in full, even though I do see a lump sum payment here."

She closes the folder and puts it into a plastic bag. "Perhaps this was motive enough for one of them to put three bullets in Antonio's back?"

The Young Mansion; Nicholas' Home

"I hope you're not mad that I dragged you away from the Sugarbowl," Nicholas tells Andy as they move into the living room of the Young mansion. They were at the coffeehouse earlier talking when Nicholas suggested to Andy that they go somewhere more private because the news that Nicholas wants to share should be kept between the two of them.

"It's all good," Andy replies to him. "You were right, this is a better place for us to have this discussion."

"Alright, well, you said you had a new theory," Nicholas looks back at his former lover. "What is it?"

Andy takes a deep breath as he recalls how he saw new muddy footprints in his condo recently and while he was at the coffeehouse, he had a realization. "It just dawned on me," Andy begins to tell him. "The person or persons that have been in my condo and leaving the muddy footprings…"

"What about them?"

"They," Andy continues. "They must have seen us that night, Nicholas. Whoever is doing this, they must know that I killed Clayton and that we buried him on the Victors estate grounds. That makes sense, right? It would explain the muddy footprints; they are trying to send us, or me, a message."

Nicholas moves closer to him and grabs his hand. "That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about, Andy. I know who is behind the footprints. I know who has been stalking you."

Andy feels the blood drain from his face at the words he hears. "Who? Who is doing this?"

"Clayton," Nicholas reveals to him as Andy gasps back in horror. "He's alive, he's been stalking you. And I can prove it."

Robertson Enterprises

Leah storms off the elevator at the company and makes a beeline towards her office at the company. She was at the hospital and was left stunned by Cory's reappearance, but she ended up getting an urgent text from Jeff telling her to come to the company. Since Natasha and Sophie were asking Cory a million questions, Leah snuck out to give them some alone time.

"I got here as soon as I could," Leah announces as she opens the door to her office and moves inside. "You will not believe what happened tonight."

Jeff looks up at her from her as he slow stands up. "Yea, it's been pretty wild around here too."

Leah arches her eyebrow back to him. "What's going on around here? What have I missed?"

"This," Jeff passes her a file folder, which Leah accepts.

She opens it and looks back at him in shock. "Money is missing? How is this possible?"

"I wish I knew," Jeff shrugs back to her. "Apparently, Victoria was looking over the most recent business financials and noticed the missing funds. Now, there is an investigation as to where they are."

"That woman," Leah throws the file back down on the desk. "She is behind this, I know it! This is exactly why I didn't want her anywhere near me or my company!"

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Okay, okay, okay," Cory uneasily chuckles back to Natasha and Sophie as they are alone in Sophie's hospital room now. After Leah departed, Penny and Robin also left to give them some alone time. "One question at a time, please!"

Sophie chuckles back to him as she almost can't believe that her father is back and standing next to her. "This seems surreal," she admits to him. "But you know what's odd? When I woke up, I told Mom and Shane that you were here with me while I was in my coma."

"I did come to visit you," Cory replies to her. "As soon as I found out that you had been shot in Maui, I rushed back to Twin Peaks; I saw you, and then I hide from everyone until I was ready."

"And now you're ready to be back?" Natasha asks him as she puts her hand on his shoulder.

"I couldn't keep hiding," Cory tells her. "Not when Sophie needs me."

"You still have answered my questions, where have you been? How did this happen?" Natasha asks him quickly.

"I will tell you everything soon," Cory says before he looks back at Sophie. "Right now, I just want to be with my family; I've missed you, both of you, so much," he says as he hugs Sophie again.

"We've missed you too," Sophie tells his father. "More than you'll ever know."
