Twin Peaks Court House

Greg opens the back doors to the courtroom and, immediately, sees Kim getting a sip of water from the water fountain. Moments earlier, he testified in Madeline's lawsuit against Robbie and Kim as she is requesting 7 million dollars as she doesn't feel like she got a real divorce settlement after Robbie remarried Kim while she was on her death bed. Greg told the Judge that he has been left devastated by Kim's decision to stay married to Robbie instead of reuniting with him.

Kim finds herself moving closer to her former fiancé. Greg gulps as he knows that she must not be happy with him. "That couldn't have been easy for you," she tells him.

He sighs back to her. "None of this has been easy, Kim," he says back to her. "I wish none of this ever happened."

"For whatever this is worth to you, Greg," Kim looks back into his eyes. "I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you."

"It is easy for you to say," he replies to her quickly. "You're not the one who has been left with a broken heart."

"Is there anything I can do? We've been close for so long, Greg. I don't want us to end this way."

"You can leave me alone," he snaps back at her. "I'm going Abby's wedding, and then…"

"And then?" Kim asks him with an arched eyebrow. "What are you doing after the wedding?"

"I'm leaving town," Greg shocks her by his admission. "I need to get out of Twin Peaks and away from you, Kim. It's the only thing that will help but get over this."

Kim grabs his hand. "I understand," she tells him. "Just know that I will always be your friend, so if you ever need me, I will be there for you."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"I can't believe it," Cory admits to Penny as they sit across from one another at a table in the restaurant. Penny just finished telling Cory that she ran into Gordy at the park earlier in the dayr; neither one of them realized that he had come to town, yet alone make his presence known. "Gordy is in town? Did he say why?"

Penny takes a sip of her cocktail before she looks back at Cory. "I asked him, but you called me to come here, so I never did get an answer."

"Have you heard from the neighbors that are looking after the farm?" Cory asks her next. "Maybe he's here because something happened?"

"Nothing happened on the farm," Penny replies to him. "I thought of that, but my neighbors said it's all good."

"So, what does Gordy want?" Cory asks her confused. "What could he possibly want from Twin Peaks?"

"That is the million dollar question," Penny nods back to him. "But I think, together, we can figure this out together."

***


Donovan looks back at Sergio in surprise as he was just asked by the police detective if he still has feelings for Lukas. The two had been catching up with one another when Sergio, who was told by Lukas that he kissed Donovan, asked his lover if he still has feelings for his estranged husband. The question has caught Donovan off guard.

"Where is this coming from?" Donovan finally asks him. "Why do you think that I still have feelings for Lukas?"

Sergio uneasily chuckles back to him. "I ran into him the other day," he explains to him. "And he happened to mention that he kissed you. I am sure he purposely told me to get under my skin, and it clearly worked, but I'm left wondering if you liked the kiss and, more importantly, why you didn't tell me about the kiss?"

Donovan shakes his head back to him. "Yes, Lukas kissed me," he tells him quickly. "He has had it in his mind that we should be getting back together, but that is not what I want. I am enjoying being with you, Sergio."

"So you didn't like the kiss?"

Donovan shrugs back to him. "Lukas and I, we have a long history," he replies to him. "But a lot of that history has been filled with hurting one another."

"What are you trying to tell me, exactly?"

"That on some level, yes, I will always have feelings for Lukas; we have been married for years, and we share a child together," Donovan reaches over and grabs Sergio's hand. "But, you are the man that I am with now. Lukas and I, we are over, I promise you that. Tell me that you believe me?"

Sergio looks back into Donovan's eyes and senses that he is telling him the truth. "I believe you."

The Pier

Lukas swiftly moves down the pier as he is trying to get some exercise in. His mind is still racing over the fact that Meggan crashed her car recently; he knows that she was drinking while she crashed her car, which is troublesome for him because he knows the last time she was drinking, everyone believed that Meggan killed Noah. He just hopes that she is able to get her drinking under control.

He, also, can't help but think about how he kissed Donovan recently. He has been trying to find a way for him to get through to Donovan that they should be trying to save their marriage instead of getting a divorce. He just hopes that he is able to get through to Donovan before it's too late.

He pauses when he sees Chantel sitting on a bench looking at the river. He senses that she is deep in thought; having her turnup at the hospital recently, when Olly was having a fever. The last person he and Donovan thought that they would run into is Olly's birth mother. He finds himself moving towards the younger woman.

"Chantel?" he asks as she turns and looks at him. "Hey, I thought it was you. Are you okay? You looked a little lost."

Chantel forces a smile on her face as she knows that she has been struggling with some odd dreams about the night she gave birth to Olly. "I'm…I'm not sure, to be honest with you."

Lukas moves around and sits next to her. "Do you want to talk about it? I might be able to help you with something?"

"It's about Olly," she replies to him.

He arches his eyebrow back to her. "What about my son? What's going on with Olly?"

***

A few yards away, Simona is standing on the edge of the pier as a team of police officers move into one of the police boats that they have. After she saw video footage of someone throwing an object into the river, she knew that she had to search the river for the object. Her hope is that the object is the gun that was used to kill Antonio. If she is able to find that gun, she might be able to find out who shot him.

"Okay, remember," Simona looks at the officers in the boat. "Notify me as soon as you're done searching the river. I need to know everything that you find, leave no stone unturned."

"Don't worry detective," one of the officers replies to her. "If there is a gun in this river, we will find it and we will bring it back to you."

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear," Simona purses her lips together as she responds to him.

St. Joseph's Church

Near the back of the church, there is a Groom's room, where the groom-to-be is able to get ready for the wedding. Currently, the room is being occupied by Dominick, Tyler, and Ethan, as they are getting ready for Dominick and Abby's wedding, which is scheduled to begin in a few hours.

"Good thing we have Google," Ethan chuckles as he looks at his phone before he passes Dominick his bowtie. "I wouldn't have remembered how to tie one of these bowties without it."

Dominick chuckles at his grandson. "Tyler used to have the same problem, isn't that right, son?"

Tyler laughs back with his father. "It's true," he looks over at Ethan. "But this town seems to have a lot of parties and weddings, and now, I'm a pro at tying them."

"Then I'll let you handle Dominick's," Ethan winks back over to him. "By the way, Bryce said he was going to come by too."

"I am so pleased to hear that," Dominick looks over at his family. "It is high time this family comes together; that includes you and Bryce," he says looking at Ethan. "And hopefully this wedding will do just that."

Ethan gulps back to him, recalling how he slept with Abby recently. He knows that he has pushed his feelings aside because Abby wants to get married to Dominick; now, Ethan just has to focus on his family instead of the woman that he loves.

***

Meanwhile, in the foyer of the church, Leah finishes placing some white roses near the door before she turns and looks at the space. She can't believe that Dominick is going to remarry Abby in a few hours. She just hopes that he knows what he is doing because the entire family has never been a fan of Abby, but she can't deny that Abby did support Dominick coming out of his coma.

"She better not do anything to hurt you," she whispers to herself as she hears the doors to the church open. "We aren't ready for guests yet…" she starts to say as she spins around but she freezes when she sees Bryce standing there. "Bryce, sorry, I thought you were a guest."

"I heard," he chuckles to her. "This place looks incredible."

"That it does," Leah tells her son. "You're here so early, do you need anything?"

"Oh," Bryce replies to her. "Dominick asked me to help him get ready; I'm meeting him, Tyler, and Ethan."

"Really? You are?"

"I am," Bryce tells her as she gets tears in her eyes. "Are you okay? Did I say something wrong?"

"No," Leah shakes her head back to him. "It's just…I've wanted this for so long, my family being together. So no, Bryce, nothing is wrong. Everything is finally feeling right."

Twin Peaks Court House

Robbie looks at Kim as Madeline is getting sworn into the witness stand. He knows that Madeline will throw him under the bus because she is still livid about the annulment.

"Hey, don't worry okay," Kim whispers back to her husband. "Madeline will have her turn, and then we will have our turn. Try to stay positive."

"I am trying," Robbie replies to her. "I just know she's going say trash me as much as possible."

Before Kim can respond, the Judge looks at Lois. "Your witness Ms. Kam."

"Thank you, your honor," Lois says as she stands up from her chair and moves towards Madeline. "Ms. Wilkins, can you explain to the court how you and Robbie Calimo became to be a couple?"

Madeline moves a piece of her hair behind her ear. "It all happened very quickly and unexpectedly," Madeline tells her lawyer. "We started hanging out very casually, and we ended up in Las Vegas together, and we got married. When we got back to town, we agreed to make our marriage work."

"And you were happy together?"

"Yes, we were," Madeline looks over at Robbie with a stare. "That is, until Kim was shot last November."

"What happened when Mrs. Calimo was shot?"

"Robbie came to me with this insane idea," Madeline reveals to her and the Judge. "He said that Kim would have wanted to be married to him before she died, and the doctors, they all said she was dying."

"Is that when you agreed to the annulment?"

"Yes," Madeline nods back to her. "Because Robbie, he told me that he would come back to me after Kim died. Only, she didn't die. And he didn't come back to me. So you see, that's why I'm here. That son of a bitch left me without warning and under false pretenses."

"What do you want?" Lois asks her.

"I want my money," Madeline grits her teeth back to her. "And anything else the Judge seems fit to give me. Because had we actually divorced, I would have received something from the Calimo's; instead, all I got was a broken heart, and that's not okay. Not with me."
