The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Abby moves closer to the table where Donovan, Lukas, Victoria, Bryce, Cheresa, and Chantel were seated having dinner. Chantel, however, has just announced to the group, in particular Bryce, that she remembers giving birth to a still born child, so baby Olly couldn't be here child. Abby had overheard this and recalled that she gave birth to Sonny the same night, all those years ago.

"My baby was dead," Chantel cries as she looks at Bryce, who gulps heavily. "So Olly, he couldn't have been my child."

"This doesn't make any sense," Lukas spits back to her. "We adopted your child! We have the adoption papers!"

"It's impossible, don't you see," Chantel looks back at him with tears in her eyes. "I never heard my baby cry because he wasn't breathing!"

"You just had a dream," Bryce tells her quickly. "You have no idea what was right or wrong."

"This makes sense," Abby announces to the table. "This is why I felt such a connection to Olly after he was born."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Donovan asks her in shock. "This has nothing to do with you!"

"What if, somehow, the baby's were switched?" Abby suggests to everyone. "Olly is my son, Sonny is alive, but I was given Chantel's baby instead?"

"That isn't possible," Lukas yells back at her. "Olly is Chantel's son!"

"He doesn't have the same blood type as me," Chantel reveals to everyone as she looks at Bryce. "A mother and son should have the same blood type."

"Tell us what happened that night," Lukas looks at Bryce with intent. "Is what they suggested true? Have we been raising Abby's baby all this time?"

"Answer him," Victoria looks at her husband with intent. "Have you been playing God with my brother's child all this time?"

Twin Peaks Law Courts

"Someone better start telling me what the hell this is about?" a frustrated Jacob demands from Cassie and Isabelle, who are staring at one another with intent. Cassie has been demanding that Isabelle tell Jacob the truth, but he has no idea what either of them are talking about and he is getting annoyed with their back and forth.

"Are you going to tell him little girl," Cassie sneers at her rival. "Or am I?"

"You're a bitch," Isabelle snaps back at Cassie. "A real fucking bitch, you know that?"

"I'm the bitch? After what you did?" Cassie chuckles back at her. "That's rich."

"Enough with this fighting!" Jacob yells at the women. "What the hell is going on?"

Cassie is about to say something when Isabelle covers her rival's mouth. "I'll tell him, okay? Shut up and let me tell him."

Cassie nods back to her as Isabelle removes her hand from Cassie's mouth. "Jacob," Isabelle looks at him. "This is about our baby."

"Our baby?" Jacob asks her in confusion.

"Yes," Isabelle looks back at him. "I…I lied about what happened that night. This has been one big misunderstanding."

The Young Mansion

"I know it is late, but I appreciate you coming by," Andy tells Kim as he lets his sister in the mansion that he lives in with Nicholas. He and Kim haven't had the chance to connect in a while, and since he and Nicholas got engaged, he wanted to share the news with her.

"Of course brother," Kim smiles as she moves into the living room. "I wanted to see you as well."

"Is that so?" Andy chuckles back to her. "Seems like we both have some news we want to share with one another."

"Indeed," Kim looks at him as they sit next to one another on the sofa. "Why don't you start since you asked me here; what's new with you?"

Andy takes a deep breath as he looks back at her. "It's good news," he tells her quickly. "Nicholas asked me to marry him, and I said yes. We are engaged, again!"

"Oh Andy," Kim gasps back to him as she pulls him into a hug. "After everything the two of you have been through, this is the best news ever! Congratulations!"

"Thank you," Andy tells her as they exit their embrace. "I am so happy; everything has finally turned a corner for us, you know?"

"I do know," Kim says back to him. "Because the same thing has happened for Robbie and I."

"How so? I thought Madeline won pretty big in the lawsuit?"

"Yes, she did. But Robbie and I won an even better prize," she tells him. "I'm pregnant, Andy. Robbie and I, we are going to have a baby."

"Oh Kim," Andy pulls his sister into a hug. "I'm so happy for you. You deserve this so much. I can't wait to be an uncle!"

Barcode

Meggan sits at a table in the small club by herself with a vodka martini in front of her. Her mind is racing over the fact that Frederick is alive; he revealed himself to her earlier while she was at the Victors mansion, where she was drinking because she thought her father was haunting her dreams. That is when her father emerged from the secret room and told her that he is alive; he also stunned her by revealing that he and Felicia are married.

She takes a long sip of her martini as she wonders what she should do with this information now. "Would anyone even believe me?" she asks herself as she sets her glass down. "Dad and Felicia, everyone thought they died in the fire last New Year's Eve, but all this time, they've been alive."

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Leah asks her half-sister as she moves up to the table with Jeff following her. The two of them came in for a drink before they were going to head home, but they couldn't help but notice that Meggan was alone, with a drink in front of her. "You're still off the wagon, huh?"

"Oh God," Meggan groans back to them. "You two can leave me the hell alone, okay? So I'm having a drink, no big deal."

"No big deal?" Jeff asks her in concern. "Have you thought about our son? What do you think Logan would say if he saw you right now?"

"He'd have a drink with me," Meggan cuffs back to him. "Because unlike you two, he isn't self-righteous."

"I think we can go to our table," Leah turns to Jeff. "We aren't going to get anywhere with her."

"Our father is alive," Meggan spits out the words to Leah, who looks back at her in shock. "Thought you'd like to know."

"You're drunk," Leah shakes her head back at her, not believing Meggan's statement. "And as such, you're making up stories. Just stop, Meggan, before someone really gets hurt."

Twin Peaks Police Station

Trenyce walks quickly down the corridor of the police station towards the holding cells. She knows that Daisy was found guilty of killing Antonio earlier in the evening, and the following morning, she will be transferred to the state prison. Trenyce, however, needed to see her Aunt because she is still reeling from everything that happened in court; not only was Daisy found guilty, her she admitted she was working as a hooker for Antonio.

"They told me that I only have twenty minutes with you," Trenyce announces to her Aunt, who is laying on the cot in her cell. Daisy looks up at her niece with a flush of embarrassment; she still can't believe that she had to announce to everyone in court that she was a sex worker. "How are you?"

Daisy uneasily shrugs back to her. "I've been committed of a crime that I didn't commit, and I will spend years in jail as a result," she whispers back to her. "And on top of that, I had to tell everyone what that son of a bitch put me through."

"I am so sorry," Trenyce looks back at her. "I had no idea that you were going through all of that."

"I couldn't tell you, I couldn't tell anyone," Daisy replies to her. "It was weird, you know; I hated what I was doing, but I was going through such pain from my abortion, I couldn't wait to feel good again; to feel alive again."

"I wish you had come to me," Trenyce admits to her. "I could have helped you, Daisy. That's what family does."

"I know that now," Daisy tells her. "And thank you, because I feel your support now, more than ever."

"We will find a way to get you out of here," Trenyce sighs back to her. "I won't stop until that happens."

"Just don't forget to live your life, Trey," Daisy says back to her. "I appreciate your support, but I might be in here a very long time, and you, you still have so much life to live. Don't forget to live for you."

The Sugarbowl

Cory and Robin scurry into the coffeehouse, desperate to get out of the cold wintery air. They have been trying to find Penny and Gordy because they are concerned about Penny as she hasn't responded to any of Cory's text messages or voicemail.

"Want a hot chocolate?" Cory asks Robin, who nods back to him. "Perfect, I'll get two and meet you at the back booth?"

"Sounds good, thanks Cory."

Cory moves up to the barista and orders his two hot chocolates. "I'm surprised you're here with Robin," the barista tells Cory, who arches his eyebrow back to him.

"Why's that?"

"You're friend," the barista replies to him. "The pretty blonde woman, she was in here earlier. She was with another guy, I was just surprised that you weren't with her."

"Penny was here?" Cory asks him as the barista nods back to him. "How long ago was this?"

"Uh, an hour maybe? Not that long ago," the barista tells him as he passes him two hot chocolates. "She chased after the guy she was talking too, it seemed pretty intense."

"Was this the guy she was with?" Cory asks as he holds up a picture of Gordy on his phone.

"Yup, that was him."

"Thanks," Cory tells him as he moves to the back booth and looks at Robin. "They were here, Penny and Gordy were here; the barista saw them, I guess Penny rushed after him. So your theory about them being together was right."

"So, the question becomes, where did they end up?" Robin asks Cory in concern. "Where could they have disappeared too?"

The Calimo Cabin

Gordy puts another log into the fireplace and then looks into the crackling flames that illuminate his face. He can't believe everything that has happened; Penny followed him to the cabin after he announced that he was leaving town. He admitted that he had done something that he thought was for the best, which Penny continued to grill him about. Finally, he admitted that he shot and killed Antonio, thinking that he was Cory as they were wearing the same costume the night of the masquerade ball. Penny was horrified and tried to call the police, but he pulled a gun on her.

He slowly stands up and turns around. Behind him, Penny is sitting in a chair, tied up with a gag over her mouth.

"It didn't have to be this way Penny," Gordy whispers to her. "But I told you that no one can find out what I did that night; no one will ever know that I killed Antonio. You've taken enough away from me, I won't let you take my future away too."

In the chair, Penny looks back at him in fear of what he is going to do to her. And she can't help but wonder how anyone will find her, as no one knows that she, or Gordy, are at the cabin.

Twin Peaks Law Courts

"What about our baby?" a confused Jacob asks Isabelle as they continue to face each other in the foyer of the courthouse. "I am so confused."

"After I miscarried," Isabelle grabs his hand. "I told you that I fell down the stairs, and that is the truth."

"Right?"

"But what you don't know," Isabelle bites her lower lip. "Is that Cassie visited me in the hospital, because she got me to the hospital. And I did something."

"Okay?"

"I…I told Cassie to leave town, leave you, or I would tell everyone that she pushed me down the stairs and caused my miscarriage," Isabelle whispers back to him. "I knew that everyone would believe me because of Cassie's history."

"You did what?" Jacob asks her in shock. "You blackmailed Cassie into leaving Twin Peaks? You purposely made me miss months of my son's life? How the hell could you do that?"
The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Bryce looks at Victoria and then slowly at Chantel, and then over at Lukas and Donovan. He feels beads of sweat start to form on his forehead and feels like the room is starting to spin.

"Answer me, Bryce," Victoria sternly tells her husband. "Is this concept of a baby switch even remotely true?"

"No," he tries to chuckle back to them. "It's…"

"It's true!" Chantel yells at him. "It must be true!"

"Fine!" Bryce slams his fists into the table. "Yes, it's true! I switched the baby's, okay?"

There's a collective gasp at the table as everyone realizes what is happening. Ethan, Dominick, and Andrew suddenly appear behind Abby, as they were all at the restaurant.

"How is this possible?" Victoria looks at her husband in shock and awe. "How could you do this to my brother?"

"It wasn't my idea," Bryce sighs back to her. "Vinny Victors was blackmailing me with the fact that Frederick was alive."

"Olly is my son," Abby cries to the room as Lukas looks back at her in horror. "My son is alive! Oh my God!"

"Why would Vinny do this?" Donovan asks Bryce next, ignoring Abby's proclaims.

"He wanted to protect Andrew," Bryce sighs back to him, as Andrew looks at Abby in shock. "He didn't want to be a father, so he made sure that he wasn't a father. And he wanted to help Lukas get a child, because of his connection to Frederick."

"I want my son!" Abby shrieks to everyone. "I want my son right now!"
