The Lawson Estate; Cheresa's Home

Cheresa's head hits her pillow in her king size bed in her bedroom and she tries to catch her breath. She looks over at Chantel, who is naked, and also breathing heavily. The two just finished making love for the first time after having their attraction build over the last few weeks. Cheresa has been supporting Chantel as she has been having nightmares about Olly, where she gives birth but he doesn't start to cry. While supporting her, they have shared a few kisses, and finally, it escalated into moving it to the bedroom.

"That….was…amazing," Chantel tells her as she still tries to catch her breath. "I had no idea how badly I needed that until…just now."

Cheresa chuckles back to her as she looks over at Chantel. "It does feel like this has been building for some time, doesn't it?"

"Yea, like since I first laid eyes on you," Chantel admits to her. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"How are you feeling? I know that you and Dawn are still in that long distance relationship," Chantel bites her lower lip, hoping that Cheresa is still in a good head space after having sex with her.

"I honestly don't know," Cheresa admits to her. "We just finished, so I guess I haven't had time to process it yet."

Before Chantel can respond, Cheresa hears her phone chime with an incoming text message. She rolls over to the end table and grabs the phone.

"Oh my God," Cheresa jumps out of bed.

"What is it?" Chantel asks her quickly.

"It's a message from Dawn," Cheresa looks back at over her shoulder. "She said she just had a surprised delivered to me."

"Oh?" Chantel says as Cheresa puts a robe over her naked body. "I wonder what it could be?"

"I have no idea," Cheresa tells her as she moves to the door. "But I'll go check it out and come right back, okay?"

The Sugarbowl

"I don't know mi hermana," Sergio looks over at Simona as they sit across from one another in the back booth of the coffeehouse. "I keep seeing these moments between Donovan and Lukas that make me question their relationship status."

Simona takes a sip of her coffee before she looks back at her brother. He just told her that he went to the Pink Flamingo and saw Lukas and Donovan having lunch together and they were holding hands on the table. In her mind, this is another sign that Sergio should stay away from both Donovan and Lukas.

"Oh Sergio," she sighs back to him. "I honestly was afraid this would happen."

"I know you have been concerned," Sergio replies to her. "The first red flag was when Lukas told you that I should go back to Mexico."

"Those two have a long, sorted history," Simona reminds him. "And in the entire time I have known of them, drama has followed them, and their relationship."

"I really like Donovan," Sergio admits to his sister. "So, this really is disappointing."

"If you want my advice, it is for you to run away from Donovan as fast as you can," Simona tells him. "Nothing good will come from you being involved with that man and his husband."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"I've been thinking about this Chantel situation," Donovan tells Lukas as they continue to sit across from one another in the restaurant. They have finished their meals, but they each still have a drink in front of them as they continue to discuss Chantel and the dreams that she has been having about Olly.

Lukas arches his eyebrow back to him as he takes a sip of his beer. "And? What have you come up with?"

"Well, if seeing us and Olly triggered these dreams, or nightmares, whatever you want to call them," Donovan begins to tell him. "Then maybe if she is around us, it will help her with these dreams. Maybe she just needs to see that Olly is a happy, healthy little boy that lives in a loving home?"

"I suppose that could work, what are you suggesting?"

"Nothing major," Donovan replies to him quickly. "Just like a dinner party, maybe? She could come and see that Olly is happy and that will put her at ease. Maybe she's having these dreams because Olly was at the hospital when she saw him, so she thinks that something is wrong with him?"

"I like the idea," Lukas nods back to him. "And we are in control because we are hosting the party at our house."

"Exactly," Donovan tells her. "And we can invite a few other people, just so Chantel doesn't feel like this is all about her."

"This is why you're so amazing Donovan," Lukas smiles back to his estranged husband. "You always come up with the best ideas. I think this will work; I think this will help Chantel put her mind at ease about Olly."

***

Isabelle opens the door to Antonio's office and slowly moves inside. As she looks around the office, which still has yellow police tape inside, she can't help but feel her tears swell with water at the sight. She looks at the carpet by the desk and covers her mouth as she can see the stained blood that still rests there.

"Oh Daddy," she gasps as a tear falls down her cheek. "I still can't believe that you're gone. But Daisy, she has been arrested; I will make sure that she pays for what she's done to you."

She moves a little closer to the desk and wishes that she could pick up the picture of her and her father that rests on the desk. She knows that she can't because it is still a police crime scene, but she just longs to feel closer to her father again.

"Isabelle?" a voice calls out at the doorway. "What are you doing in here?"

Isabelle turns and sees Robin standing there. "Robin, hi," she says as another tear falls down her cheek. "I…I just wanted to feel closer to my father, so I came here."

Robin uneasily smiles back to her. "He was here the majority of the time, wasn't he?"

"He loved his work," Isabelle replies to her. "It was his pride and joy."

"No," Robin shakes her head back to her. "You were, Isabelle. I hope you know how much he loved you."

"I am trying to remember that," Isabelle admits to her. "At least justice is being served though."

Robin arches her eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"

"You haven't heard?" Isabelle asks her as Robin shakes her head no. "Daisy Davenport was arrested for killing my father."

"What?" Robin gasps as she hadn't heard this news as of yet. "I…I had no idea."

"Yea, I heard late last night. And I hope that bitch pays for what she's done. I want her to rot in jail for the rest of her pathetic life!"

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

"Thanks Marji," Trenyce waves to the nanny at the front door, who is taking BJ and Albertinah to a waterpark for the afternoon. "Don't forget to give them lunch after swimming!"

Trenyce watches the nanny put the children into the mini-van before she shuts the door and moves back into the living room, where she sees Chris about to pour himself a drink.

"I'd love one of those," Trenyce admits to him. "The kids were fussy this morning, so I'm glad they have this outing."

"Do you think they sense everything that is going on with the family right now?" Chris asks her as he passes her a vodka soda.

Trenyce takes a sip of the drink and looks back at her husband. "I am sure that they do," she nods back to him. "Kids are very perceptive."

"I know, I hate that they are in the middle of this, Trey," Chris sighs back to her.

"You and Andrew," Trenyce uneasily begins to reply to him, knowing that he doesn't like talking about Andrew right now because of her affair with him. "You agreed to put your differences aside so we can support Daisy and the family. I think that's wonderful, Chris. I know that wasn't easy for you to do."

"It wasn't, but it was the right thing to do."

"I agree," Trenyce replies to him. "I…I was hoping we could do the same. I was hoping we could put our marriage back together right now and deal with everything else after. We have to stand as a united front, Chris."

"I will be united for the family, Trey," Chris tells her quickly. "But the fact is, I'm not over the fact that you strayed on our marriage with Andrew. And I don't know if I ever will be."

Twin Peaks Police Station; The Holding Cells

Andrew moves down the hallway towards the holding cells. He feels his heart racing as he hates the fact that Daisy, the woman that he shared a bed with for so long, is in jail for killing Antonio. He can't bring himself to believe that she is actually guilty of this crime, so he wants to figure out a way to help prove her innocence. He finally reaches the cell where he sees Daisy, sitting on the cot in an orange jumpsuit.

"I don't think I will ever get used to seeing you like this," Andrew announces to her, which causes Daisy to stand up and look at her lover. "How are you holding up?"

Daisy shrugs as she moves closer to the bars that separate them. "As well as to be expected; Simona told me that because of the murder charge, I don't make bail, so I have to stay here until the trial starts."

"Have you seen Ethan yet?"

"He's coming by later," Daisy informs him. "I just hope that he can put together a good defense for me."

"He will," Andrew looks back at her. "We will, Daisy. You have to know that I will do whatever I can to help you beat this; I know that you didn't kill anyone."

Daisy feels her eyes swell with water. "Thank you," she whispers back to him. "I'm scared though, Andrew. I'm really scared."

"I promise you that we will get you off of these charges," Andrew looks back at her. "I won't let anything bad happen to you."

Robertson Enterprises

"Well, based on this report, it does look like your logon ID was used to process the transfer of those funds," Ethan tells Leah as they sit across from one another in her office at Robertson Enterprises. Ethan just looked at the report that Victoria provided the board of directors to show that Leah moved the missing funds from the company's offshore accounts; Leah had requested her son review the report in case she needed legal representation.

"Yes, yes, I know that," Leah sighs back to him. "Someone must have used my computer; I just have to figure out who and how they accessed the computer. What I need to know, from you, is what can I do to legally protect myself?"

"I mean, the company really holds all the cards here," he looks back at her. "If they want to fire you, or press charges against you, they'd have to have proof that you were the one that took this money. Based on this report, it does look like you're guilty, but we could easily find loopholes in their case, if it gets to that point."

"I really hope it doesn't get to that," Leah admits to him. "By the way, how are you doing? I am sure that yesterday was hard on you."

Ethan sighs back to her as he forces a smile on his face as he thinks about how Paige revealed that he slept with Abby just before she was supposed to marry Dominick. Seeing Dominick be so disappointed in him was hard on Ethan, but he still believes that telling the truth was the right thing to do.

"It was brutal," Ethan tells his mother. "Having your personal life exposed in front of friends and family isn't exactly ideal."

"I wish you would have listened to me," Leah says back to him quickly. "I warned you about getting involved with Abby; that woman has brought nothing but chaos into this family."

"I get it Leah, I really do, but the last thing I need to hear right now is, 'I told you so'," Ethan snaps at her as he stands up and starts packing up.

"I'm sorry, I just have a strong opinion about that woman."

"I came here today as a favor to you, to help you with your own mess," Ethan looks back at her. "That was a mistake, see you around, mother."

Leah watches as Ethan storms out of the office, wondering if she has just ruined any progress she had made with her son.

The Lawson Estate; Cheresa's Home

Cheresa rushes down the stairs of the large mansion that she lives in. She is quickly moving towards the front door of the mansion as she just received a text message from Dawn telling her that she had a surprise delivered for her; Cheresa almost can't believe that Dawn sent her something because she just finished making love to Chantel. In Cheresa's mind, the timing couldn't be worse, even though she realizes that she has to think about what she just did.

She opens the door and gasps back in surprise as she sees Dawn standing on the door surprise. "Surprise!" Dawn smiles to her as she pulls Cheresa into a hug, who gulps heavily, knowing that Chantel is still upstairs in her bedroom.
