Twin Peaks General Hospital

Meggan's eyes slowly open and she squints immediately as the bright overhead lights hurt her eyes. She lets out a loud groan as her head is throbbing in pain. She moves her hand up to her temple, but feels a bandage on her head. She tries to lean up to see where she is, but the weight of her body seems too heavy to rise.

"What…what happened?" she asks herself as she looks around and her vision slowly comes back to normal. She realizes that she is in the hospital; suddenly, it all comes rushing back to her: she was at the Pink Flamingo drinking some martini's when the bartender cut her off because he felt like she was at her limit. Furious, she left the restaurant and was driving to another bar, when she had to swerve to avoid hitting a cat that moved onto the road; the sudden movement threw a tipsy Meggan off track and she crashed her vehicle into a stop sign. "Oh God, I was in an accident."

"That you were," a voice calls out from the door of her room. Meggan looks over and sees Greg standing there. "How are you feeling?"

"I have a splitting headache, but otherwise I feel fine," she replies to him. "I guess I should ask you how I am doing?"

"You're lucky," Greg tells her as he moves closer to her. "Your blood alcohol level was very high, Meggan. You could have been in a much more serious accident, or injured someone else."

"I know, I know. Trust me, this won't happen again."

"While you were resting, the police were here," Greg informs her. "They've suspended your driving license, Meggan. So you're right, this will not happen again."

Meggan groans as she lays back into the bed. "They are making a bigger issue of this than it is," she sighs. "I only had 3 drinks! I was fine!"

"You're not fine," Greg tells her quickly. "You need to get this under control before you hurt someone else."

One Day House

Nicholas sits behind his desk at the One Day House, typing into his laptop as he is working on some reports that he needs to complete for his business. While he is typing, however, his mind is on his recent conversation with Andy, where Nicholas asked him to move back in with him. Andy told him that he needed more time before he would move back into the mansion with him.

"Hey, I hope I'm not interrupting," Andy says as he opens the door to Nicholas' office and moves inside. "I…I didn't like how we left things earlier and wanted to clarify with you."

Nicholas stands up from his desk and moves closer to Andy. "I always can make time for you, Andy."

"I know," Andy replies to him. "And, I want you to know that I really appreciate everything you've done to get to the truth about what was happening with Clayton. If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have figured out that he was alive."

"You don't have to thank me, I am just glad that the truth is out."

"And I appreciate that you want us to get back together," Andy continues to tell him. "I am … I am just worried that something else will happen that will come between us. I…I don't want either one of us to be hurt again."

"I love you Andy," Nicholas reminds him. "I'm willing to take the risk, I really am. Because being with you is worth it. I respect your apprehension but I think you know that we belong together; we really do."

The Calimo Mansion

"Sophie looked happy but exhausted from the little party we threw her," Natasha tells Shane as she picks up one of the paper plates and moves it to the trash. Earlier in the day, she and Cory threw a small welcome home party for Sophie, who was released from the hospital. For a while, they weren't sure if Sophie would survive her gunshot wound, so they are all so pleased that she is home and healthy again.

"Her being tired makes sense," Shane replies to her quickly. "She was well enough to come home, but she is still recovering from her ordeal."

"You're right," Natasha tells him as she moves closer to him. "Have I thanked you, by the way, for saving her life?"

Shane chuckles back to her. "You have, many times," he says back to her. "But you're welcome. I am glad that I can help. By the way, you never answered my question from the other day."

Natasha arches her eyebrow. "You mean about Cory being back?" she asks him as he nods back to her. "You have nothing to worry about Shane; I am thrilled that Cory is back, of course, but I am in love with you. And, I still want to marry you, Shane. In fact, I think we have put that off for too long."

"You mean that?" Shane asks her. "You want to get married?"

"As soon as possible," she leans in and kisses him. "It would make me very happy to be your wife again."

"Then let's do it, Nat," Shane smiles back to her. "Let's get married."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

At a table in the middle of the restaurant, Eva sits across from her children, Donovan and Victoria, as the three of them are catching up. While Donovan and Victoria are ordering food, Eva is not having any food because she ate earlier at Sophie's welcome home party, but she does have a glass of wine in front of her.

"You must be so happy about Sophie getting to go home," Victoria looks over at her mother before she takes a bite of her buffalo chicken taco.

"We are all over the moon," Eva replies to her quickly. "For a while, it was touch and go, but she's a fighter."

"I remember when Bryce was in the hospital fighting for his life," Victoria says to her. "It's so scary when you think you're going to someone you love."

"That's all behind us now," Eva smiles back to her. "And Donovan, how are things with Olly? I know he had that fever a few nights ago."

"Yea, he's good," Donovan tells his mother. "The doctor said it was just a bug of some kind, which is a relief. But you know, the oddest thing did happen at the hospital."

Eva and Victoria look at one another in concern before they return their gaze to Donovan. "What happened?" Victoria asks her brother.

"The nurse that was on duty," Donovan continues to explain to his family. "She happens to be Olly's birth mother."

"What? The girl who gave Olly up for adoption was at the hospital?" Eva asks in surprise. "Does that mean that she wants to be a part of his life?"

"No, nothing like that," Donovan explains. "At least not yet. It was just…weird."

"Don't worry Donovan," Victoria tells her brother. "You and Lukas are Olly's parents; nothing, and no one, can ever change that."

The Sugarbowl

Lukas opens the door to the coffeehouse and moves inside as he is desperate to get another fix of caffeine. He hasn't been able to stop thinking about the kiss he gave Donovan earlier in the day; after talking to Meggan, who encouraged him to fight for his marriage if that's what he wanted, he kissed Donovan. He isn't sure how Donovan reacted because he had to leave to meet his family for lunch, but Lukas knows that he made an impact on his estranged husband.

After he orders his coffee, he happens to see Sergio sitting in the back booth looking over some files. Lukas arches his eyebrow wondering what the former police detective is still doing in Twin Peaks as he asked Simona to tell him to go back to Mexico. He finds himself moving to the back table after he gets his coffee.

"You're still in town," Lukas says as he arrives at the table. "I'm surprised."

Sergio uneasily chuckles back to him. "Simona has requested my assistance on a case," he replies to him. "Not that it is any of your business."

"As long as you're still seeing my husband, I consider your whereabouts my concern," Lukas says back to him.

"I've already told you, Lukas, to stay out of my business," Sergio sternly tells him. "I suggest you do that."

"And I think it's only fair that you know what's going on," Lukas quickly says as Sergio looks at him. "Donovan and I, we kissed earlier today," he says as Sergio arches his eyebrow. "That's right, Sergio. Donovan and I are getting closer and closer again, and considering everything we've been through, there is a good chance that we will get back together."

Tyler's Townhouse

Tyler opens the door to his townhouse and sees Madeline standing on the other side. He gets a smile on his face at the sight of his lover, whom he invited over.

"I'm glad you could come over," he says as he lets her into the townhouse.

"What's all this?" she asks as she looks at the romantic table set up in the living room. On the small table, there are two candles, some roses and two covered plates. Soft jazz music is playing in the background to finish creating the mood.

"I, well," he chuckles as he moves closer to her. "I felt bad about asking you about locking me and Kim in the boardroom together; I wanted to make it up to you, and I thought a romantic lunch might do the trick."

Madeline giggles back to him as she places her purse down on the sofa. "I appreciate the gesture," she admits to him, as he pours two glasses of champagne. "I accept your apology."

Madeline takes a glass of champagne and takes a sip of it, proud of herself for convincing Tyler that she didn't arrange the lockdown, even though she did. She moves closer to him and wraps her arms around him. "I have another way that you could make it up to me, however."

Tyler chuckles back to her. "Is that so? What did you have in mind?"

Madeline leans in and kisses him passionately. "How's that for a start?"

"I like the way your mind works," Tyler winks at her as he grabs her hand and moves her into the bedroom, hoping that being with Madeline will help him take his mind off Kim.

Roboto

Robbie opens the door to the main office at Roboto and moves inside, where he sees Kim sitting behind the desk typing into her laptop. As Robbie looks at his wife, he can't help but recalling how he encountered Madeline in the park, and she suggested that something was happening between Tyler and Kim while they were trapped in the boardroom together. Robbie, at first, brushed it off, but the more he thinks back to opening the door to the board room, he can't help but think that Tyler was going to kiss Kim.

"Hey, how is that proposal coming along?" Robbie asks her as he sets his briefcase down on the sofa in the office.

"It's coming," Kim replies to him. "I still have some final thoughts to put into it, but I should be able to get it to you and Natasha by next week."

"Oh, that's great," Robbie smiles back to her as he pours himself a glass of water at the bar. "Do you have a few minutes to take a break? There's something I'd like to run by you."

"Of course, what's going on?"

"It's about you and Tyler, I guess," Robbie says as Kim looks back at him in surprise. "Is there anything going on between you two?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You and he were locked in that boardroom," Robbie reminds her. "You have a long history together, I…I just wanted to know what happened while you were locked together."

Kim sighs back to him. "Yes, Tyler and I have a long history," she tells him. "We lost a child together, so we are close, Robbie. But nothing happened in that boardroom. We talked until you opened the door. I…I love you, Robbie. You have nothing to worry about with Tyler."

Robbie smiles as he leans in and kisses her on the lips. "I love you too," he tells her. "And thanks for reassuring me."

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

Chris moves up to the bar in the living room of the house that he lives in with Trenyce and their children. He pours himself a scotch as he feels like his nerves are shot because he was recently questioned by Simona about Antonio's death; on top of that, Andrew had showed up at his house and wanted to see Albertinah. Chris refused and they came to blows, which resulted in a near fight. He still can't believe that Trenyce slept with Andrew and lied to him about it for months; what's worse is that Albertinah might be Andrew's daughter, which would explain why he was able to donate bone barrow to save her.

"You read my mind with a drink," Trenyce announces as she moves into the living room after putting Albertinah down for her nap. "The last few days have been so stressful."

"You can say that again," he huffs at her. "It's not every day I get dragged down to the police station to be questioned about killing a man."

"You and me both," Trenyce sighs back to him as she pours herself a scotch and immediately takes a drink of it. "And I can't help but think that this is all happening at the worst possible time, since you and I are going through our own problems."

"Problems might be the understatement of the year," Chris tells her. "You cheated on me and lied to me about it for months, Trey!"

"I know," she turns to face her husband. "I am just hoping that all of this can be put behind us and we can move forward. Tell me that you're willing to try that, Chris? Tell me that we can move on from this?"

"I can't," he admits to her. "The only thing I know for sure is that I'm going to finish this drink and then pour another one. Anything else right now, Trey, I have no idea about."

Twin Peaks Police Station

"Thank you for being here," Daisy looks over at Ethan, who is sitting next to her in Simona's office at the police station. After Simona originally questioned Daisy, she demanded that a lawyer be present with her, so Daisy called Ethan and asked him to represent her, which he agreed too.

"Of course," Ethan nods back to her. "I'm happy to take this case. Just remember, you don't have to answer any questions that you don't want too, okay?"

"Okay, thanks."

"Are you ready to continue?" Simona asks as she opens the door to her office and moves inside as Daisy nods back to her. "Good, because I believe that you were about to answer me about if you had access to a gun the night of the engagement party."

Ethan sees Daisy gulp heavily. "My client is choosing not to answer that question," he tells Simona. "Next question."

"I can pull up a list of all the gun owners in Twin Peaks," Simona looks back at Daisy, annoyed by Ethan's interference. "So if you did or do own a gun, I will find out."

"There was a gun in Antonio's office," Daisy snaps back at her. "I saw it there many times while I was in his office; anyone that was in his office would have known about it."

"Are you saying that Antonio just had a gun laying around his office?"

"No, of course not," Daisy huffs back to her. "But anyone that visited him often enough knew where he kept it. There's a long list of people that could have access to it!"

"Including you?"

"My client is done with this line of questioning!" Ethan looks back at Simona. "Unless you have a warrant for her arrest, we are done here."

Simona folds her arms across her chest. "Fine, she can go, but do not leave town, Ms. Davenport. I have a feeling I'll be seeing a lot more of you."
