The Young Mansion; Nicholas & Andy's Home


"Does anyone have any idea as to what this is about?" Robin asks Kim and Madeline, who are standing on opposite sides of the living room in the Young mansion. The three women were summoned to the mansion by Nicholas, and they have no idea what it is about. Robin can, also, feel the tension between the other two women in the room.

Kim looks over her shoulder and gives a nasty glare to Madeline as she is still livid with her for suing her and Robbie; Madeline, recently, won 3 million dollars and a seat on the board of Roboto from the Judge, and Kim is furious with her.

"I have no idea Robin," Kim looks at her. "I doubt anyone in the room knows."

"Oh God," Madeline groans back to her. "Get over yourself, Kim. You can speak to me."

"I'm choosing not to engage," Kim rolls her eyes back to her.

"Okay, okay," Robin puts her hands up in the air. "I know you two have some issues, but something is clearly going on with my brother."

"It's good news, I promise," Nicholas announces as he moves into the living room and sees the three women standing there. "Thanks for coming today."

"We were all curious as to why you asked us here today," Robin replies to her brother.

Just then, Andy appears next to Nicholas and they lock hands with one another. "Nicholas and I, we are back together and living together again. We have reunited," Andy tells everyone, as they all smile back to them.

Kim comes up and hugs her brother. "I'm so happy for you two," she tells Andy, as Robin hugs Nicholas, thrilled by the news.

Madeline moves up to offer her own congratulations, but she can't help but wonder about Clayton and how he would feel about all of this.

Robertson Enterprises

Sergio steps off the elevator at Robertson Enterprises and takes a deep breath before he starts to move towards Donovan's office. His mind has been racing since he saw, another, close encounter between Donovan and Lukas; when he spoke to Simona about it, she encouraged her brother to walk away from Donovan and their budding romance. Sergio, however, doesn't know what to do, because he does enjoy his time with Donovan.

He knocks on the office door and then enters, seeing Donovan sitting behind his desk. "I've seen you in a tie many times, but you always look so dashing," Sergio says as he moves into the office.

Donovan smiles back to him as he stands up and leans into kiss Sergio. "That's kind of you to say," Donovan replies to him. "What brings you by?"

Sergio uneasily shrugs back to him. "I, uh, I guess I wanted to talk to you," he admits to him. "I think we need to get some things out in the open."

"Okay?" Donovan asks him in confusion. "Am I supposed to know what this is about?"

"It's about you and Lukas," Sergio informs him. "I happened to be at the Pink Flamingo yesterday and saw you to together….holding hands."

Donovan sighs back to him. "You have this all wrong," he tells his lover. "Lukas and I, we were talking about Olly's birth mother and how we can help her. She's been having these dreams of our son and we are were trying to figure out a way to help her, that's all."

"You always have an answer," Sergio looks back at him. "Look, I'm going to be frank with you, Donovan. I like you, I like spending time with you, I find you incredibly sexy…"

"But?"

"But," Sergio replies to him. "I won't play games. That's not my style, so I think you need to figure out what is really going on with you and Lukas and then let me know. I'm a big boy, I can handle it, I just want the truth."

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

"Thanks again, Ethan," Chris waves to the legal eagle, who just left their house as he was going over Daisy's case with him, Andrew, and Trenyce. As Chris closes the door, he sighs as he knows that he, still, has to put on a happy face because Andrew is still visiting. While he and Andrew have agreed to put their differences aside while Daisy is facing these murder charges, he can't help but be furious with him for sleeping with Trenyce behind his back. For all he knows, Andrew is Albertinah's father, which is something that Chris can't even comprehend.

"Okay, just offer him a beer," Chris whispers to himself. "When he says no, he can leave and you won't have to be around him anymore."

Chris slowly walks back towards the living room but freezes when he gets the entrance. Inside, he can see Trenyce, Andrew and Albertinah together on the sofa. He feels his heart break inside his chest at the sight; seeing them be together as a family unit is hard on him. He turns around, unable to bare seeing them together.

He quickly moves to the front door and rushes outside, where he sits on the front steps of the house. He feels his heart racing inside his chest as he puts his hands over his face and he starts to weep uncontrollably.

The Lawson Estate; Cheresa's Home

"I still can't believe that you're here," Cheresa smiles to Dawn as they sit across from one another at the dining room table in the lavish estate that Cheresa lives in. They have some lunch on the table as they catch up with one another. The morning has been a whirlwind for Cheresa as she and Chantel made love for the first time; in the afterglow, Chantel asked her what it meant, but before Cheresa could respond, Dawn texted her saying she had a surprise for Cheresa. Cheresa went to investigate and saw her girlfriend standing on her porch. Cheresa was able to get Chantel out of the mansion before Dawn saw her, but her head is spinning.

"I know," Dawn giggles as she takes a bite of her chicken salad. "Like I said, the Canadian airlines were having a flash sale, and I had some days off work, so I wanted to come and see you. I hope it's okay?"

"Of course it's okay," Cheresa responds to her. "You have no idea how much I missed you when you were away. How are things in Toronto?"

"Really good," Dawn nods back to her. "I'm settling into the hospital there; it's so different than working here, you know a country that has free health care and all."

"I can only imagine," Cheresa chuckles back to her. "And Adam and Helen? How are they?"

"They are more in love then ever before," Dawn tells her. "It's been really nice just having family time together, you know? But that's a big part of why I came to visit you; I missed you and did need a break from them."

"That's sweet," Cherea tells her. "And I get it, with my Dad leaving town, this house is so lonely."

"How are you feeling about Greg leaving town?"

Cheresa shrugs back to her. "He felt like he needed a break, and I can't say I blame him," she tells her. "Enough of that, I want to be with you."

Dawn licks her lips and leans forward to kiss her girlfriend. "I want to be with you too. Let's go upstairs? I want you to make love to me?"

Cheresa kisses her back, and for a moment, thinks she sees Chantel. She opens her eyes and sees Dawn. "I want that too, more than you know."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

The restaurant has been closed for a small gathering that Isabelle has arranged. She, Robin, Victoria, Donovan, and Jacob all stand close together, by a framed picture of Antonio and a bouquet of a dozen red roses.

"This was really nice of you to put together," Donovan tells Isabelle, hugging her as the small memorial is taking place.

"I'm glad that you were able to leave work to attend," Isabelle replies to him as he chuckles, knowing that he was able to dodge Sergio's questions by telling him that he had to leave for the service.

"I just wish that I had spent more time with Antonio while he was in town," Victoria admits to everyone. "We always seem to take family for granted, but in the blink of an eye, it can all be taken away."

"I miss him so much," Isabelle tells everyone as she gets tears in her eyes. Jacob comes up next to her and puts his hand on her back. "I don't know if I will ever be able to get over this."

"It's never easy losing a parent," Robin says. "But he would want you to be happy, and one day, I believe you will be."

"Thanks for being here," Isabelle looks at his father's fiancé. "He loved you so much."

Robin gulps heavily as she knows that she is only there to support Isabelle. The truth is, any love or affection that she had for Antonio, it went away when she learned that he arranged for Cory's plane to crash last year. Isabelle doesn't know those details, and Robin wants to keep it that way.

Jacob pulls Isabelle into a hug. "It'll all be okay, I promise."

At the entrance way of the restaurant, Cassie spies the embrace and rolls her eyes. "You will not get away with this Isabelle; Jacob and I will be together and there's nothing you can do to stop that."

One Day House

Ethan opens the door to this office and quickly moves towards his desk. He just left Trenyce and Chris' home where they were discussing the upcoming murder trial; they wanted to come up with a good plan of attack to help get Daisy off the charges that she is facing.

As he sits down, however, he can't help but think that the evidence against Daisy is building up and is very strong. He knows that it will take a solid defense to get her off.

"I have to come up with something," he says as he taps a pencil on the desk. "I do believe the family when they say that Daisy didn't kill Antonio, so who did? And why are they framing Daisy? If I can find that out, this case would be over."

He runs his hands through his hair as he thinks about Abby for a moment. "Damnit," he says as he recalls how Paige announced his affair with Abby at her wedding to Dominick. "I have to stay away from you, but I could use your advice right now; you always knew the right thing to say to me."

He shakes his head. "I have to get you out of my head," he tells him. "I have to focus on this case."

The Sugarbowl

Abby sits at the window bar with an iced decaf in front of her. Her mind is racing about the fact that Paige revealed her affair with Ethan at her wedding to Dominick; as a result, Dominick has ended their relationship and threw her out of the house that they were living in together.

"That nosy bitch just had to put her nose into my business," Abby sighs to herself as she takes a sip of her martini. "Now what I am going to do?"

"Look who is all alone, the way it should be," a voice says as they approach Abby. Abby slowly turns her head and sees Paige standing there with a sly grin on her face. "Drinking your sorrows away with coffee?"

"Leave me alone," Abby groans back to her. "You're the last person I want to see right now."

"Well that's too damn bad," Paige spits back to her. "You thought you could play my grandfather and family for fools, but you're the fool."

Abby stands up and looks at her rival feeling her blood boil. "You just had to poke your nose into my business, didn't you little girl? You don't know who you are dealing with."

Paige chuckles back to her. "You can threaten me all you want, but you got exactly what you deserved Abby. You know what this is? Karma!"

"And this is what I call karma," Abby replies to her as she picks up her iced coffee and dumps it over Paige's head, who squeals in horror. "Do me a favor, and stay out of my life, bitch."

Paige screams in horror as she grabs some napkins and starts to dry herself off as Abby storms away from her. Paige looks back at Abby and fumes, realizing that their rivalry is just getting started.
