Robertson Enterprises

"I…I don't believe that this is happening," Leah tells Jeff and Tyler as she fixes her skirt as she stands in the hallway of the office tower that her family company owns. When she arrived at her office, Jeff stunned her by revealing that there is a large amount of funds missing from the Robertson Enterprises accounts; Victoria, apparently, found this discrepancy while reviewing the most recent business financials. Leah, immediately, thought that Victoria had something to do with it, but she has no proof.

"I know, neither can I," Jeff looks back at her. "But what I found in my small investigation, Leah it's serious."

Leah sighs back to him as she recalls how he, then, revealed to her that her username to access the Robertson Enterprises servers is the one that authorized the removal of the funds. So, it appears that Leah moved the funds without the knowledge of anyone else in the company.

"Everyone who knows me, knows that I wouldn't have moved any funds without approval," Leah defends herself to him. "Why would I move funds from my own family's company?"

"I believe you," Jeff tells her. "But the fact is, the board now wants to see you and they want an explanation."

"And I plan to give them one," Leah stands tall, as the door to the boardroom opens. Tyler appears and looks at his sister with worry on his face.

"We are, uh, ready for you Leah," Tyler tells his sister, as he moves to let her and Jeff into the boardroom.

Jeff grabs Leah's hand causing them to look at one another. "You got this," he whispers to her, as they move into the boardroom, and she prepares to face the board of directors.

The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas, Donovan, Logan, & Olly's Home

Meggan quickly moves towards the bar in the living room of the Richardson estate and looks at the entry way of the room before she pours herself a vodka into a glass, immediately taking a sip of it when she's done. She lets out a loud sigh of relief as she feels the alcohol hit her like a ton of bricks, but she loves the feeling. She takes another hearty sip, before she refills her glass.

"My God, it's true," a voice calls out from the entrance of the living room. Meggan turns and sees Lukas standing in front of her with a concerned look on his face. "You're drinking again."

"Cheers," Meggan raises her glass to her brother before she takes another sip. "I suppose the entire town is going to know my business sooner or later at this rate."

"Meg," Lukas moves closer to his sister. "You have to stop this, please! Don't you remember what happened the last you were drinking?"

"Oh, you mean our father letting me think I killed a child only for him to be alive and I almost had sex with him?" she quips before she takes another sip of her drink. "I remember it very well, Lukas."

"Damnit Meggan! You can be mad at Dad without turning to alcohol," he sternly tells her. "I'm…I'm worried about you! Please, please tell me that this will be the last drink you'll take?"

"I'm sorry brother," Meggan looks back at him. "I can't do that. So, I'd advise you to get used to me drinking because I'm not stopping, not anytime soon, if ever."

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

Andrew feels his blood start to boil as he stands out front of Chris and Trenyce's home. He had arrived a short time earlier to see Albertinah as he thought she would help him release some stress from everything else that is going on in his life right now; he knows that the fact his affair with Trenyce has been exposed as created a lot of tension in the family, but so has Antonio's murder. However, when he arrived, Chris slammed the door in his face and told him to leave.

He bangs on the door again. "Chris, I'm not leaving here! You can't keep me away from Albertinah! I'm not leaving until I see her!"

Chris slowly opens the door and grits his teeth back to the younger man. "My kids are trying to take a nap, and you're banging on the door like some kind of lunatic? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Andrew asks him back in a huff. "You're the one acting like a victim here, Chris. Trey and I slept together, yes, but it was a long time ago. It's time you get over it, or move on with your life. Stop penalizing everyone for their actions that happened years ago."

"I wouldn't have to do that had you and Trey not lied to me about this for so fucking long!" Chris yells back at him. "Don't you dare come to MY home and tell me how to act, do you understand that?"

"I understand perfectly," Andrew huffs to him. "But don't you stand there and tell me that I can't see my daughter, because we both know that's the case. It's why you couldn't donate bone borrow to save her, that's right, I'm the one who did that, her father."

"Shut the fuck up," Chris moves closer to him, feeling his blood boiling.

"Hey, that's enough, break it up," Simona rushes up to the men, who are in the middle of the front yard, each with their fists clenched. "Fighting won't solve anything. Besides, I need to speak with you, both of you."

Chris and Andrew fume at one another for another moment before they look at Simona. "What is this about, officer?" Chris asks her.

"Antonio Moretti was killed and I have questions for both of you. So, are you going to make this easy for me? Or do I have to take you both down to the station?" Simona asks her as she puts her hand on her hip.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Max slowly opens the door to Sophie's hospital room and gets a huge grin on his face when she turns to face him. He had heard from Natasha that she came out of her coma but this is the first time he is seeing her and he can't help but feel relieved by the sight.

"I guess the rumors are true," he chuckles to her as he moves closer to her bed and sets a bouquet of flowers down on her end table. "You're back, officially."

"I am back," Sophie nods back to him as she looks at the flowers. "Those are beautiful, thank you."

"Of course," he says as he sits next to her. "You have no idea how worried I was about you."

"From what my mother told me, you saved my life in Maui," she tells him. "I should be thanking you, Max."

Max feels his cheeks flush. "The truth is, I was blaming myself for what happened to you. I thought because I told you that we could only be friends at the launch party, you started drinking heavily and that put you in danger."

Sophie reaches over and grabs his hand. "It wasn't your fault, Max. Please, don't blame yourself, okay?"

"I am just so relieved that you're okay."

"I will be fine," Sophie smiles to him. "And you won't believe what happened to me. The most amazing thing."

"What?" Max asks her, wondering what her good news.

"My Dad," Sophie starts to tell him. "He's…he's alive," she beams with excitement. "He didn't die in that plane crash, but he had amnesia until recently, but he's back. He's home, Max."

"Wow," Max says in shock. "I…I wasn't expecting that, but I am happy for you. I know how much you missed him."

"I did," she nods back to him. "So you see, everything is working out, just the way it was meant too."

The Young Mansion; Nicholas' Home

Andy stands frozen in the living room of the Young mansion as he is in shock by the fact that Nicholas just revealed to him that Clayton is alive. Andy firmly believed that he, accidently, killed Clayton months ago; thinking that the police would not believe that it was an accident because of their sorted history, Andy convinced Nicholas that they should bury the body, which they did on the Victors estate grounds. Since then, however, Andy has seen muddy footprints in his condo, which lead him to want to drink. Andy just told Nicholas that he believed that the person leaving the footprints must have seen them bury Clayton, which is when Nicholas laid his bombshell on him.

"I…I don't think I heard you correctly," Andy struggles to find his words. "Clayton is….alive?"

"Yes," Nicholas quickly tells him. "I know that this is a surprise, but it's true."

Andy runs his hand through his hair, still struggling to understand how any of this possible. "Are you sure? How can this be happening?"

"It's a long story," Nicholas says back to him. "I knew that someone was in your condo; we both did because of the footprints. So, I placed a camera on the bookshelf. I went through hours and hours of footage until I saw Clayton in the condo. He was holding a shoe in the kitchen."

"The muddy prints on the cabinets?" Andy asks him in horror.

"Exactly," Nicholas continues to tell him. "So that's when I went to your place, and I waited for him. I knew he would return, eventually, and leave more prints. When he arrived, I cornered him and we had it out."

"What did he say?"

"He said he wanted to get back at you for everything that happened," Nicholas explains to him. "But I told him that stalking you was a crime, so if he went to the police, so would we. And that's when we came to an understanding."

"An understanding? What kind of understanding?" a flabbergasted Andy asks him.

"Clayton left town; he agreed that neither of us would go to the police and we could all just move on with our lives; I thought this was the best solution for everyone. Don't you see, Andy, it's over, this nightmare, it's finally over!"

Andy gets tears in his eyes and he moves up to Nicholas, pulling him into a hug as he starts to weep. "I…I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything," Nicholas whispers back to him as he holds him. "Just breathe; you can finally just breathe again."

The Sugarbowl

Abby opens the door to the coffeehouse and rushes inside. While she is craving a double espresso, she knows that she can't have one because she is pregnant. She still can't believe that she is carrying another child; what's worse, is that she is pregnant with Ethan's child, just as she and Dominick have reunited. She can't believe the timing of everything, but she knows that she has to play this cool.

"I can't help but think about when I was pregnant with Sonny," she whispers to herself as she waits for her herbal tea that she ordered. "I lied to everyone that Andrew was the father of my baby when, in fact, it was Max. There's no reason why I can't do the same thing this time. I will, just, tell everyone that Dominick is the father of my baby."

She takes a long sip of her tea as she arches her eyebrow. "I just have to ensure that Dominick and I make love as soon as possible or this won't work," she tells herself as she starts to move towards the exit.

Just as she's about to leave, the door opens and Ethan appears. They freeze and look at one another for a moment. "Abby, hey," he forces a smile on his face. "How….how are you?"

"I'm good Ethan," Abby replies to him. "How've you been?"

Ethan shrugs back to her. "It's been hard getting you off of my mind," he admits to her. "I…I can't stop thinking about our night together."

"I know Ethan, but you have to try, okay? Dominick, your grandfather, and I, we are happy and we are planning our wedding. I'm going to be his wife very soon."

"I know, I'm trying," Ethan tells her. "It's just…you're a hard woman to forget."

"What we had, it will always be special, Ethan. But it is in the past and it can never happen again," Abby quickly tells him.

Dominick's Townhouse

Dominick moves towards the front door of his townhouse that he shares with Abby as heard the doorbell ring. He opens the door and gets a smile on his face when he sees Paige standing on the other side.

"Paige, sweetheart, what a surprise," Dominick says as he kisses both of cheeks and Paige moves into the living room. "What brings you by?"

Paige puts her purse down on the sofa before she turns to face her grandfather. She hasn't been able to stop thinking about the fact that Victoria revealed to her that Abby and Ethan had sex recently; Victoria told her that she could use the information to stop Abby and Dominick's pending wedding, but she knows that if she does that, her family will be turmoil again.

"I just wanted to see you," Paige admits to him. "I know that there are some changes coming up in your life and I wanted to hear you're feeling about them."

"By changes," Dominick chuckles to her. "Do you mean my engagement and pending marriage to Abigail?"

"That's exactly what I mean," Paige replies to him. "I have to ask you, are you really happy with Abby? Do you really want her to be your wife, again?"

Dominick smiles back to her. "I have never been happier in my life," he reveals to her as Paige gulps back to him. "I know you and Abby have history, Paige, but she is the love of my life. I hope, I hope you can respect that."

The words hit Paige like a ton of bricks; she had hoped that by visiting Dominick she could get clarity around what she should do, but she's left feeling more confused than ever before.

Robertson Enterprises

Leah moves to the front of the boardroom table and looks out at Tyler, Victoria, Jeff, Eva and Robin. Paige is missing the meeting, but Tyler has her proxy in case they need to vote, but everyone else is present.

"Thank you for meeting with me," Leah begins to tell everyone. "It seems like there is some misunderstanding with these funds that have been transferred out of our accounts."

"What is the misunderstanding, exactly?" Eva asks her quickly. "There is a large sum of money missing, and you are the person that authorized the removal of it."

"I want you all to remember something," Leah sternly says as she looks at the board. "Nothing like this has ever happened before. And when did it start? When you all voted that woman in," Leah says as she points her finger towards Victoria. "And ironically, she is the one who found this in the business financials!"

"The fact is, you should be thanking me for finding this error," Victoria hisses back to her. "Because who knows how many other times this has happened!"

"I hate to say this," Tyler chimes in. "But I have to agree with Victoria here; she is the one who brought this to our attention. We have to figure out what is going on now, Leah. So, what is going on? Why did you authorize these funds to be removed?"

"I didn't!" Leah yells back to them, but she looks around the table at the skeptical faces. "But you don't believe me, do you? My God you all think I stole from my family's company!"
