The Calimo Cabin

Bright sunlight creeps through some of the half-closed curtains in the living room of the Calimo cabin. The snowstorm from the previous night has stopped, and a bright, winter day is upon the citizens of Twin Peaks.

On the sofa in the cabin, Kim's eyes slowly open but she squints at the sunlight hitting her face. "Ugh," she groans as she puts her hand on her head as she feels it throbbing. She tries to recount what happened the previous night, but there are moments that are a blur.

She remembers being at the Calimo mansion with Robbie, and he revealed to her that he slept with Madeline on New Year's Eve. The shock of finding out about his affair hit her hard, and so, Kim drove to the cabin to get away from Robbie and to figure out her next move. However, when she arrived at the cabin, Kim was stunned to see Madeline there. The two exchanged heated words, and Kim even slapped her rival, before deciding to head back to the mansion because she couldn't stay there any longer.

And that's where her memory starts to fade. She tries to think about what happened next, but she draws a blank. How did she get back to the cabin? Where is Madeline? Did she see Robbie again?

Before she can think of anything else, Madeline appears from the kitchen, and they make eye contact. "Oh good, you're awake," Madeline says moving closer to her. "How are you feeling?"

"I have a splitting headache," Kim admits to her. "What happened last night, Madeline?"

"You don't remember?" Madeline asks her in surprise.

"I…I remember leaving here in the snowstorm but nothing beyond that," Kim reveals to her.

"That doesn't surprise me, you had a minor concussion," Madeline explains to her. "You see, you left here, and shortly after, I realized I couldn't let you drive in that storm, so I went chasing after you. You, however, you must have realized it was too dangerous, so you turned around and were coming back to the cabin. And that's when we crashed into one another."

"What? My God," Kim gasps back to her. "Are you okay? Am I okay?"

"We are both fine," Madeline tells her. "I managed to get you out of your SUV and back to the cabin, where I was able to assess you and the injuries. You're going to be fine."

Suddenly, Kim puts her hand on her stomach. "My baby? Is my baby okay?" a panicked Kim asks Madeline, who looks back at her with intent.

Dominick's Townhouse

Dominick moves into the living room of this townhouse, still wearing his robe as he is just getting out of bed. He slept in this morning as he and Eva spent the majority of the evening in bed making love to one another. They are, clearly, still in the honeymoon phase of their reunion, which isn't complaining about.

He moves to the bar and pours himself a cup of coffee before he takes a sip of it. He wonders where his lover is, as she wasn't in bed when he woke up.

"Where did disappear to this morning?" he asks himself as he takes another sip of his coffee. He grabs his phone and sees a new message from Eva.

"Had to run an errand, won't be long, xoxo," he reads out loud as he arches his eyebrow. "Interesting, she never mentioned anything yesterday about an errand. I wonder what you're up too, Eva."

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Eva storms through the hallway of the Victors mansion as she is determined to see Frederick this morning. She knows that Will has been struggling to keep the secret that Felicia, and Frederick, are alive and well. The truth is, Eva was also struggling with the secret, but since she and Dominick have reunited, she is on cloud nine. That being said, she wanted to see Frederick to ensure that she makes her point known.

"We need to talk," she announces as she moves into the living room and sees Frederick placing another log into the fireplace. "It's important."

"Good morning to you too," Frederick stands up with a chuckle. "Can I get you a coffee? Laced, perhaps?"

"No, I'm fine," Eva looks back at him. "This won't take too long."

"I am assuming this has to do with the fact that Felicia and I are alive?" Frederick asks her with a grin on his face. "This means that you're going to do what I said, you're going to keep our secret?"

Eva groans back to him. "You make it seem like we are in cahoots or something," Eva rolls her eyes back to him. "And that couldn't be further from the truth."

"But you're going to keep your mouth shut, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am," Eva nods back to him. "But the minute that Felicia regains her memory, you have to tell me, because that could change everything."

Frederick uneasily nods back to her, knowing that the drugs he is giving her will ensure that she never remembers. "Don't worry, you and William will be the first two to know if Felicia's memory comes back. With how long it has been, I somehow don't think that it will happen though. And that's good for you, since you and Dominick can now live happily ever after."

"Don't forget what I said," Eva replies to him quickly. "If Felicia regains her memory, you tell me."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"How was the rest of your night after the gym?" Paige asks Will as they sit across from one another at the restaurant with some breakfast in front of them. The night before, they both saw one another at the gym, and they ended up chatting again, which has been happening more and more often as of late.

"It was pretty chill," Will admits to her. "I ended up here to get some food, ran into a friend, and then headed home."

"A friend huh?" Paige asks him with a chuckle. "Which friend is this?"

"Her name is Chantel," Will replies to her. "And before you say anything, she's a lesbian, we really are just friends."

Paige chuckles to him. "I wasn't jealous or anything," she winks back to him. "I've already told you, though, that I did like that kiss we shared. I wouldn't be opposed to it happening again."

Will blushes back to her. "I liked it too," he admits to her. "It's just…"

"I know, I know," Paige puts her hands up in the air. "You're still in love with Eva, I get it. But she's back with my grandfather, do you really want to wait for her forever?"

"No, I don't," Will says back to her. "But I also have learned my lesson about getting involved with someone new before resolving my feelings; it's not fair to you, or to myself."

"I appreciate that," Paige tells him. "But I am here right now, but I won't wait around forever, so if you want us to have a chance, you should act on it."

***

At the back table, Abby sits across from Andrew, as they met this morning so Abby could fill him on the latest on-goings with Sonny. In the meantime, however, he has shared that Daisy was released from jail the previous night.

"You must bet thrilled that Daisy is out of jail," Abby tells him as she picks her sparkling water and takes a sip of it. "I never believed that she was guilty of those charges."

"The entire family is relieved to say the least," he admits to her. "Now we can focus on rebuilding because we have been so fractured for so long."

"That makes sense," Abby nods back to him. "How are you feeling about this Sonny stuff?"

Andrew shrugs back to her. "I mean, I've sort of told you how I feel Abs," he admits to her. "The truth is, we thought our son was dead for years; and even now, when I do see Sonny, I don't feel like I have this connection to him. I will support you with whatever you want, but it's really up to you."

Abby breathes a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you support me," she tells him. "Because I've asked Ethan to draw up custody papers; I want Donovan and Lukas served with custody papers as soon as possible."

The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas, Donovan, Logan, & Olly's Home

Donovan opens the front door of the Richardson mansion and sees Sergio standing on the other side. He is surprised to see the detective so early in the morning, but Donovan welcomes him into the house.

"Looks like you survived the snowstorm," Donovan says as he greets the detective into the foyer.

"I did, and I brought you some treats from the Sugarbowl," Sergio grins as he holds up a takeout bag. "We can catch up and have breakfast together?"

"Sure, that sounds nice," Donovan closes the door and they move into the living room. "We are alone, by the way, Lukas took Olly out to the Sugarbowl this morning."

"That's nice," Sergio tells him. "How are you feeling about everything that has happened with Olly, Abby, and Lukas?"

Donovan sighs back to him. "I…I don't know," he admits to him. "The thought of losing my son scares me to my very core, Sergio. I…I don't know what I will do if that happens."

"Let's try not to dwell on that," Sergio says back to him. "Just focus on today and what you can control."

"I will try."

Sergio grins back to him. "If we are alone," he moves closer to Donovan. "Maybe we can sneak off and I can relieve some stress for you?"

Donovan chuckles back to him. "I wish I could say that I'm interested, but I can't stop thinking about Olly, Sergio," Donovan replies to him. "I'm sorry…I'm just not in the mood."

"I get it," Sergio tries to hide his disappointment. "But like I said, just focus on the now, and everything else will fall into place."

The Sugarbowl

Lukas passes Olly a chocolate chip cookie as they sit next to one another in the back booth of the coffee house. Lukas is happy to have some alone time with his son, since the cloud of what Abby will or won't do is hanging over them.

"How is your cookie?" Lukas asks his son.

"It's great," Olly replies before he takes another bite of it. "It is so yummy!"

Lukas chuckles back to him. "You've always loved chocolate," Lukas tells his son. "I'll get you another one if you like it a lot."

"Hey, sorry to interrupt," Clayton says as he moves up to the table. "But I saw this one the ground, and thought it might belong to you," he says as he passes Olly one of his stuffed animals.

"Oh, Mr. Fluffes," Lukas chuckles as he takes the stuffed rabbit and passes it to Olly. "What do you say?"

"Thank you!" Olly waves to Clayton.

"You're welcome," Clayton chuckles back to him. "I'd hate to see a day without Mr. Fluffes!"

"Trust me, you and I both," Lukas cackles back to him. "Thanks a lot, I mean it. It was nice of you to give Olly his toy back."

Clayton shrugs back to the handsome man. "No worries, happy to do it. I'm Clayton, by the way."

"I'm Lukas," he replies to him. "Thanks again, Clayton. You're the best."

The Calimo Mansion

Natasha moves to the bar and pours herself another cup of coffee. She just finished her breakfast, and she is still feels like she would like one more coffee before she heads into Roboto for the day. She is already dreading the drive into the city though as the storm the previous night was intense.

"Oh, I missed you at breakfast," Shane announces as he moves into the living room. "You must have been up early."

"I was," Natasha replies to him quickly. "I was having a difficult time sleeping."

"I am sorry to hear that," Shane says back to his fiancé. "Was the storm keeping you up?"

Natasha shakes head no back to him. "Actually, no," she looks at him. "I don't know all the details, but Sophie stumbled upon your high school yearbook. I came across it, and I was rather surprised."

Shane arches his eyebrow back to her. "Oh yea? What's is so shocking about that?"

"Your name," Natasha continues to look at him with intent. "It was listed as, uh, Derek Rainer, I think? Why was it listed incorrectly? What wasn't it listed as Shane Glubbs?"

Shane gulps back to her heavily. "It was a typo," he reveals to her quickly. "They made an error and before they could correct it, the yearbooks were sent to print. It's … it's no big deal."

"Ah, well, I suppose that make sense, I'm glad that's all it is."

"Yea, that's all it is," Shane forces a smile on his face, clearly feeling uneasy about the conversation.

The Cascade Apartments; Cassie & Carter's Home

Jacob and Cassie lay in bed next to one another, as they just finished making love to one another. They both woke up feeling eager to show each other how much they mean to one another and how happy they are since they have reunited with each other.

"You haven't lost your touch one bit," Cassie purrs to her lover as she runs her finger over his muscular chest. "You still know how to please me in every which way."

Jacob chuckles back to her. "Same with you," Jacob replies to her. "This is the best way to start a day, isn't it?"

"You can say that again," she chuckles back to him. "Oh Jacob, you've made me so happy by coming back to me. I…I never want to be without you again."

"You don't have to worry about that Cassie, because I am not planning to go anywhere," he looks back at her. "I want us to, finally, be a family; you, me, and Carter."

"Do you mean that?" Cassie asks him as he nods back to her. "Then, I have an idea," she looks back at him. "Let's get married Jacob; let's become husband and wife."

The Calimo Cabin

"What are you doing just standing there?" Kim shrieks back at Madeline as they continue to face one another in the living room of the Calimo cabin. "What happened to my baby!?"

Madeline moves closer to the sofa. "You were in pretty bad shape when I found you," she explains to Kim. "I…I think I saved your life by getting you out of the SUV and back here. You…you could have died from hypothermia."

Kim feels her eyes swell with water. "Madeline, please," she says as a tear falls down her cheek. "Just tell me, what happened to the baby?"

"I did everything I could," Madeline bends down and faces Kim. "But I am sorry, Kim, the baby…it didn't survive the crash."

"No," Kim shakes her head as more tears steam down her cheeks. "No!"
