The Sugarbowl

Andy sits at the window bar with a large coffee in front of him. He barely slept the previous night because his mind was racing over the fact that Nicholas revealed to him that Clayton is alive and was the one that was filling his condo with the muddy footprints. Andy can't believe that Clayton would be so cruel to stalk him that way; the last few weeks, Andy has been so close to falling off the wagon as a result, and this all could have been prevented.

"The best news is that Clayton left town," Andy whispers to himself before he takes a sip of his coffee. "Now, maybe, we can all move on from this nightmare."

"That's what I want too," a voice calls out from behind Andy. He turns and sees Nicholas standing there. "I want us to move on from this nightmare and I think I have an idea on how to do just that."

Andy arches his eyebrow back to him as Nicholas sits next to him. "What is your idea? How can we move on from this?"

"Move back in with me?" Nicholas asks him quickly. "You and I, we were in a really good place before all of this drama started, Andy. Let's get back to that? Come back to the mansion and let's pick up where we left off?"

Andy gulps back to him. "I…I know you want to get back together, Nicholas. So much has happened, and I, well, I am just going to need some time to adjust to everything that has happened. I hope you can understand that."

Nicholas nervously nods back to him. "Yea, I get it. I…I just want us to get back to where we were, Andy. I still love you and don't want Clayton to ruin what we had."

The Park

Madeline slowly walks through the park sipping her hot chocolate as the air is starting to get a chill in it as winter is quickly approaching. As she walks, she can't help but think about how Tyler asked her if she was the one who trapped him and Kim together at Robin and Antonio's engagement party. She, of course, lied and said it wasn't her, even though it was. The last thing she wants to do is reveal that she is trying to reunite Kim and Tyler, as this is a part of her revenge plan on Robbie.

She freezes when she sees Robbie sitting on a bench that overlooks the river. She realizes that she can use this as an opportunity to further plant doubts in his mind about Kim and Tyler's relationship.

"Beautiful fall day, isn't it?" she asks as she moves to the bench and sits next to him.

"It is," Robbie replies to her. "I come here to think when I need too."

"What are you thinking about?"

"It's just work stuff," he reveals to her. "But look, I am glad that you're here."

"Why? What is going on?" she asks him.

"The night of the engagement party," Robbie looks back at Madeline. "You kissed me; I…I need you to know that you can't kiss me anymore, I am married to Kim, and we are very happy together."

"You keep saying that," Madeline chuckles back to him. "But I wonder."

"Why do you wonder about that?"

"Because," Madeline replies to him. "Tyler and I, we've gotten close, and he told me that he was trapped with Kim during the party. I…I think they grew closer than what either of them are admitting to us, Robbie."

Robbie arches his eyebrow back to her. "What are you saying? You think Kim and Tyler are, what, having an affair?"

"I don't know," she admits to him. "I just think that they have a lot of history and feelings for one another. Who knows what is happening between the two of them? But I think something is happening. I just don't know what it is."

Roboto

Tyler steps off the elevator at Roboto and takes a deep breath. He knows that he is on enemy territory, but he also knows that the reason he is there is something that couldn't wait. He makes his way to the main office, where he sees Kim sitting behind the large desk typing into her laptop.

"I hope you won't call security on me," he chuckles as he moves into the office.

Kim looks up in surprise as the last person she thought she would see at the company is Tyler. "Tyler, this is a surprise," she stands up from behind the desk. "You know I won't call security on you, but if Robbie or Natasha see you, I can't make any promises."

He chuckles back to her. "That's fair, I won't stay long, but I had to see you."

Kim moves closer to him. "Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine," he replies to her. "I mean, as well as to be expected after everything that happened the night of the engagement party."

Kim uneasily nods back to him as she recalls how he professed his love to her while they were trapped in the boardroom together. "Look, Tyler, it's fine," she says back to him. "What happened that night, it will stay between you and me. I won't say anything to anyone about how you feel about me or about how close we came to kissing. It's…it's water under the bridge."

"I wish it was that easy," Tyler sighs back to her. "The fact of the matter is, I can't stop thinking about you, Kim. And that is a problem because you're married to Robbie and I'm with Madeline. So, there's only one solution to all of this."

"What solution? What are you talking about?" she asks him quickly.

"We have to stay away from each other; we can't be together anymore, Kim," Tyler tells her quickly. "This is the best option for everyone."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that Sophie is improving," Penny smiles over to Cory as they sit across from one another in the restaurant with a light lunch in front of them. She knows that they returned to Twin Peaks once Cory learned that his daughter had been shot and was in a coma; the fact that Sophie is now awake and seemingly on the mend.

"You have no idea how relieved I am," Cory replies to her before he puts one of his French fries in his mouth. "I was so scared that I was going to lose my little girl."

"That's behind us now," Penny tells him as she reaches over and grabs his hand. "Everything is working out in your favor."

"Your support means so much to me."

"Of course," Penny smiles back to him. "I have to wonder, though," she continues to tell him. "What does your future look like? Do you want to go back to the farm now?"

"Uh," Cory uneasily replies to her. "I don't think I can, Penny. My family is here, I don't think I can leave my daughter again. I hope you're okay with that."

"I am," Penny says. "I have my neighbors looking after things on the farm right now."

"You could go back if you want?"

"I don't want too," Penny tells him. "In case you haven't noticed, but I've become rather fond of you, Cory. I don't want to lose that."

Cory smiles back to her. He is about to say something, but Penny leans across the table and kisses him on the lips. "This is where I want to be Cory, with you," she tells him as their lips part.

Robertson Enterprises

Victoria types into her laptop while she sits at her desk in her office at Robertson Enterprises. Her mind is racing over Leah's recent appeal to the board of directors regarding the missing funds that Victoria discovered when she did a review of the business financials. Later, it was further discovered that Leah is the one who authorized the funds to be moved from the account that there were sitting in.

Leah's pleads to the board fell on deaf ears as even Tyler thought that Leah was the one that moved the funds. Now, Victoria is writing an email to the board, stating that she, also, believes that Leah moved the funds.

As she types her email, she gets a sly grin on her face. "You going to be in hot water for a very long time, Leah," she whispers to herself.


The Cascade Apartments; Chantel's Apartment

Chantel lays on the small sofa in her living room with her eyes closed. She came home from a shift at the hospital and laid right now as she was exhausted. Now, she is having, another, dream about the night she gave birth to Olly, all those years ago.

A few days earlier, Chantel had another dream about giving birth, only when Olly was born, she didn't hear him start to cry. Ever since that dream, Chantel hasn't been able to think about anything else. This is, of course, on top of the fact that she recently discovered that her and Olly don't share the same blood type.

Suddenly, she sits up on the sofa with light beads of sweat on her forehead. She takes a deep breath as she tries to get her heart rate back down.

"Another dream," she whispers to herself. "And, again, Olly wasn't crying when he was born. What are these dreams trying to tell me? What happened the night I gave birth?"

Twin Peaks Police Station

"I got here as soon as I could," Cheresa rushes up to Chris, who is sitting in an office at the police station. She got word that both Chris, and Andrew, were brought into the station by Simona to question them about Antonio's death. As soon as she learned about this, she raced to the station to see if she can support in anyway. "How did it go?"

"I haven't been questioned yet," Chris admits to her. "Simona is with Andrew now; I guess I am going next."

"Are Trenyce and Daisy here?" Cheresa asks him next.

"No," Chris shakes his head back to her. "I didn't want them to worry, and frankly, if Simona is going to question the two of us, I am guessing that Trey and Daisy are next."

"This is a mess," Cheresa sits across from him. "But, Dad, you have nothing to hide, right? You didn't shoot Antonio, did you?"

Chris gulps heavily back to her. "I hated that man," he admits to his daughter. "He was a son of a bitch and he continued to play with our lives; he … he had to be stopped!"

"Dad, you're scaring me."

"But Cheresa," he reaches over and grabs her hand. "I didn't shoot him. I didn't kill Antonio."

Cheresa breathes a sigh of relief. "Then you have nothing to hide," Cheresa says back to him. "Just tell the truth, and everything else will work out."

"I need to think about something else," he admits to her. "How are you? How are you coping without Dawn?"

Cheresa uneasily smiles back to him. "It's been a challenge," she tells him. "But…I…I guess I'm starting to have feelings for someone else."

Chris arches his eyebrow at her admission. "Another woman? How does Dawn feel about that?"

Cheresa waves her hand in the air as she thinks about how close she has gotten to Chantel. "Dawn doesn't know, and I'm not going to tell her. We are still in a long-distance relationship; it's just, it can be difficult, you know? And this other girl, she's pretty, she's caring, and she's … here."

"Don't do anything that will jeopardize everything you've built with Dawn," Chris warns his daughter. "Have the conversation, don't keep this a secret from Dawn."

***

Meanwhile, in Simona's office, Andrew sits in a chair while the police officer paces back and forth.

"You've been staying at the casino for sometime now, is that correct?" Simona asks Andrew, who nods back to her. "And how were you paying for such an expensive suite?"

"Uh, it's a long story," Andrew replies to her. "At first, I was able to afford it on my own. And then, I started to gamble and Antonio, he wanted me to gamble."

"Why did he want you to gamble?"

"Because," Andrew sighs back to her. "He thought that I brought more attention to the game. You know, a young, attractive man at the table, he believed more people would come to play, so he gave me a discount on the room."

"I see. And then what happened?"

"I realized that I was getting in over my head with gambling; I couldn't afford it anymore, and then Antonio gave me a loan. But I realized that I would never be able to pay him back. I felt…trapped."

"Did you still owe him money?" Simona asks him quickly.

"We were almost paid in full," Andrew explains to her. "Daisy and I came into money after Vinny, my uncle died, and we used that to pay back Antonio. We just had some interest and we wanted to leave the casino."

"When you say we, are you talking about you and Daisy Davenport?"

"Yes."

"So you both have motive to want Antonio dead," Simona tells him quickly.

"I didn't kill Antonio," Andrew protests back to her. "I…I told you all this so you can have the full story! Don't make me regret that."

"As soon as we find the gun that killed Antonio, I might have more questions for you," Simona admits to him. "Until then, do not leave town, Mr. Pherson. This is serious, and you could be in trouble."

"Fine," Andrew stands up from his chair, feeling his hands clam from sweat. "But next time you want to chat, I want my lawyer present."
