Twin Peaks Law Courts

Ethan slowly stands up when a police officer walks Daisy to the table that he is sitting at. Daisy and Ethan look at one another as they know that her murder trial is about to begin; Ethan can tell by the look on her face that she didn't sleep well the previous night, and that she is worried sick about the trial.

"How are you holding up?" he asks her as the police officer leaves them alone. "And be honest with me."

Daisy shrugs back to him. "As well as to be expected," she whispers back to him. "I just can't believe that I am actually going to trial for murdering Antonio. Have you thought of anything at all that will help me?"

"The Cory connection is key," Ethan nods back to her. "The fact that he was wearing the same costume as Antonio could be a good way to show that someone wanted him, not Antonio, dead."

"But do we have proof? I don't know Ethan, I'm just so scared."

Before Ethan can respond, the bailiff comes into the room and clears his throat. "All rise, the honorable Judge Franklin Ross is residing."

The Judge sits at his desk and looks into the crowd. "You may be seated," he tells everyone, who follows his guidance and sits down. Daisy turns around and sees Chris, Trenyce, and Andrew sitting behind her. The Judge then continues. "Case 110334 the people vs. Daisy Davenport in the case of Antonio Moretti's murder, Ms. Davenport, how do you plead?"

Daisy slowly stands up and looks at Ethan. "Not guilty, your honor."

There's a whisper in the crowd at her plea. The Judge finishes making his notes and then looks over at the district attorney. "Ms. Kam, please call your first witness."

Lois slowly stands up from her chair. "The people call Andrew Pherson to the stand, your honor."

Daisy looks over her shoulder and sees Andrew standing up and starting to move to the witness stand. She feels the palm of her hands sweat at the thought of Andrew having testify; she just hopes that he can help her case.

Dominick's Townhouse

Eva anxiously waits outside of Dominick's townhouse as she just pressed the doorbell. She can't help but think about the previous day when she ran into Dominick and he admitted to her that he knew that she and Will slept together the day of his interrupted wedding to Abby. When Eva asked him if they could have a chance of being together, he told her that they need to stop being in this cycle together. Still, Eva can't help but wonder if she and Dominick could make their marriage work now.

"Eva, this is a surprise since I just saw you last night," Dominick says as he opens the door and sees his former wife standing in front of him.

"I had to see you," Eva tells him as she moves into the foyer. "I kept replaying our conversation last night over and over in my head."

"What part of the conversation?" Dominick asks her quickly.

"Dominick," Eva grabs his hand. "I know that I was with Will the day of the wedding, and I am sorry about that, I just thought that you were marrying Abby and that was very hard on me."

"Except I didn't marry Abby because of her affair with Ethan."

"I just think, darling, that this is a sign," Eva tells him. "This is a sign that we could make our marriage work. Tell me Dominick, tell me that we can make this work?"

Dominick sighs heavily back to her as he shakes his head. "I meant what I said yesterday, Eva; this cycle you and I are on, it has to end. If anything, this mess with Abigail has made me wish that Felicia was still alive. I think, deep down, she is the woman that I've always meant to be with."

"Well, she's dead," Eva spits back to him. "And you have a woman right in front of you that wants to love you for the rest of her life."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Any word on when the test results will be back?" Abby asks Will as she sits on a bed in one of the rooms in the hospital. She is there for a regular checkup with the baby that she is carrying; she is just grateful that Dominick doesn't know that she's pregnant because that would be the last straw in their romance. She still hopes that she is able to convince him to reunite with her.

"Any time now," Will looks back at her. "And before you ask, I can't say anything to anyone about the baby."

Abby chuckles back to him. "How did you know that I was going to ask you that?"

"I heard about the wedding to Dominick not happening because you slept with Ethan Alexander, not that you are pregnant," Will winks back to her. "I am just assuming that Dominick doesn't know about the baby yet?"

"You assumed correctly," Abby admits to him. "I still have hopes that we can make this work, but if he knew about the baby, I don't think he would be able to forgive me."

"You can take this for a grain of salt," Will looks back at her. "But you should tell him, I mean, eventually, everyone will know."

"You're right," Abby sighs back to him. "This is just a mess."

"Do you want this baby? Because you do have options, Abby."

"I want my baby," she tells him quickly. "After I lost my last child, I never thought that this would happen to me again. And now that it has, I can't wait to be a mother."

"Then you need to start telling people Abby," Will says back to her. "Those that are not happy for you, they will have to deal with it on their own."

Before Abby can respond, the computer in the room makes a noise, which alerts Will. He moves to the computer and types into the keyboard. "Ah, your test results are back."

"And? How is the baby?"

Will looks over at her with a smile on his face. "Perfect," he tells her. "You and the baby are in good health, Abby," he reveals to her as Abby breathes a sigh of relief.

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Meggan rushes into the living room of the Victors estate and makes a beeline for the bar, where she pours herself a vodka. She quickly drinks the vodka down in one gulp before she pours another. She has been rattled since she thought she saw Frederick when she was drinking here before; when she told Lukas, however, he told her that it was the alcohol because their father is dead. Meggan realized that he must be right because she returned to the house sober and there was no sight of Frederick.

"You're haunting me," Meggan uneasily chuckles to herself as she pours another vodka. "Is that what you wanted all this time, father? To haunt me in my dreams?"

She takes another mouthful of the vodka as she starts to feel numb from all the booze that she's drank. "If you're here, come out and show yourself!" Meggan yells into the empty room. "Why are you doing this to me?"

Inside the secret room, Frederick peers out and sees his drunk daughter spiraling out of control. He shakes his head in despair as he wonders how he can help Meggan get her drinking under control.

Roboto

"I have to tell you that the photos that Max took for the upcoming campaign are really great," Natasha tells Robbie and Kim as she moves into the office and she sees her brother and his wife sitting on the sofa next to one another. "This campaign, it could really help us get out of the disaster that was the Pink Roses launch."

Outside the office, Madeline freezes when she hears the voices inside. She was going to see what was happening at the office now that she is a board member of the company, but she thinks hearing the executives talk in private is good way to gauge the truth about the on-goings with the company.

"We agree with you about the pictures," Kim stands up from her sofa. "But Robbie and I, we actually have some other news to share with you."

Natasha arches her eyebrow back to her as Robbie moves closer to her. "What is this all about?"

"Kim and I, we have some exciting news to share," Robbie smiles back to his sister. "We are going to have a baby."

Outside, Madeline covers her mouth in horror at hearing that Robbie and Kim are going to have a baby. She storms away from the door, needing to get some air as quickly as possible, as Natasha embraces Robbie and Kim, thrilled that their family will be expanding.

The Sugarbowl

Penny opens the door to the coffeehouse and scurries inside as the winter air is chilly. She moves up to the barista and orders a hot chocolate, hoping that it will warm her up. After she grabs her drink, she can't help but wonder how Cory is doing in court as she knows that he went to Antonio's murder trial to support Robin, who is there to support Isabelle. She just hopes that the trial ends with everyone being satisfied.

As she gets ready to leave, she happens to see Gordy sitting in the back booth by himself. She finds herself moving quickly towards him as she recalls Robin telling her that Gordy asked her to help him break her and Cory up. She can't believe that he is back in town and plotting to get her back.

"You're still in town," she says as she sits across from him. "I'm surprised by that."

"Hi Penny," he grins back to her. "I am still in town, but I'm on my way out of town tonight."

"You're leaving town? Tonight?" Penny asks him in surprise. "Where are you going?"

"I don't know," Gordy shrugs back to her. "Why do you care? You've made it clear we are over."

"I thought you were trying to get me back," Penny sighs back to him. "That's what Robin told me."

"The people in this town have big mouths," he spits back to her. "Anyways, Penny. I'm outta here. See ya."

Penny turns and watches Gordy leave the coffeehouse. She stands up quickly and follows him out, not liking how he left things. "Where are you going, Gordy? And why are you running away now?"

Twin Peaks Law Courts

Cory puts his hand on Robin's shoulder as they sit next to one another in the court room, while Andrew is getting sworn into his testimony. She smiles back at him, appreciating his support during the trial.

"How are you doing?" he whispers to her.

"I'm fine, I just want this to be over," Robin replies to him. "And, I am more worried about Isabelle."

"I'm here if you need anything," Cory tells her quickly.

Robin leans forward and puts her hands on Isabelle's shoulder, who turns and looks back to her. "Everything will be fine," Robin tells Isabelle.

"I just want justice for my father," Isabelle whispers back to her. "I won't settle for anything less."

***

Meanwhile, Andrew sits down in the witness stand as Lois stands up to face him. Andrew takes a deep breath as he tries to control his racing heart.

"Mr. Pherson, you and Ms. Davenport, you were living at the River Rock Casino, where Mr. Moretti worked, correct?" Lois asks him quickly.

"That's correct."

"How long were you living there?" Lois asks him. "And how did afford to stay in such a high-end resort?"

"I've been living there for a few years," Andrew reveals to her. "I was living with Trenyce Davenport, but once she got engaged to Chris Michaels, they asked me to move out. I was hoping to stay at the hotel for a short time, but I ended up gambling at the casino, which Antonio pushed me into."

"Why would he push you into gambling?"

"It's a long story," Andrew sighs back to her. "I was in a vulnerable time in my life, and Antonio told me that I was good for the casino. He gave me loans to keep me gambling, and started to pay for my room."

"Ah, so he was paying for you, and Ms. Davenport, to stay there?"

"Yes, correct."

"So how much money did you and Daisy owe Mr. Moretti?"

Andrew feels his blood boil thinking about how Antonio continued to try to get more money from them because of the interest that he was charging them. "We were never able to get out from owing him money because of damn interest," Andrew says back to her. "He was a ruthless son of a bitch!"

"Don't talk about my father that way!" Isabelle shrieks as she stands up and points her finger at Andrew.

"Order in my court!" The Judge smashes his mallet down. "Ms. Moretti, please sit down. Any more outbursts and you will be removed from my court."

Robin pulls Isabelle down as she glares at Andrew. Lois then turns her attention back to Andrew. "You're angry about this," Lois tells him as he nods back to him. "It is safe to assume that Daisy was also livid with Antonio?"

"Objection!" Ethan stands up.

"Overruled."

"I just think you were mad enough to kill Antonio," Lois looks at Andrew. "And if you're that angry, Daisy Davenport could have also been that angry. No further questions."

Ethan stands up and fixes his suit before he looks at Andrew. "In all the time that you've known Daisy Davenport, has she given you any indication that she could take another person's life?"

"No," Andrew looks back at Daisy. "She's not that type of woman, not at all, no matter how mad she gets."

"No further questions, your honor." Ethan moves back and sits down, as Daisy uneasily looks at Andrew, hoping that the rest of the trial gets better.
