seemingly covered with Natasha about his name being different in his yearbook
Twin Peaks General Hospital Natasha steps off the elevator
at the hospital and moves towards Shane's office. She was at work at Roboto when
she got a text from Sophie, telling her that she ran into Shane earlier and he
told her to stop going through her things; this all resulted in the fact that
Sophie recently found Shane's high school yearbook, and when Natasha looked at
it, Shane's name was listed as Derek Rainer. When Natasha questioned him about
this, Shane claimed that it was a typo and the book had gone to print before the
editors realized it. Natasha wonders why Shane would tell her daughter to stay
out of his belongings if this was the case. "Knock, knock, Mr. Chief
of Staff," she smiles as she opens the door to Shane's office. Shane,
who is sitting behind his desk, stands up to greet his fiancé. "Nat,
hey, I wasn't expecting you." "I know," she says as she
kisses him quickly on the lips. "I wasn't planning on stopping by but I got
a text from Sophie and I have to admit, I was concerned by it." "Is
she alright?" he asks her quickly. "She's fine," Natasha
replies to him. "She had an appointment earlier at the hospital, just a follow
up from her shooting and she's perfectly well." "I think I know
where this is going," Shane admits to her. "She told you about our conversation,
didn't she?" "She did," Natasha nods back to him. "Why
would you tell her to stay out of your personal belongings? I am assuming this
has to do with her finding your yearbook?"
"It does," Shane
says back to her. "I didn't have a great childhood, Nat. I don't have much
of a relationship with my family, at all. So, seeing that time of my life, it
just brings up bad memories. It is why I told you I didn't want any member of
my family at the wedding." "Are you sure that's all it is?"
Natasha asks him out of concern. "It's
it isn't like you to tell Sophie
something like this." "I promise there is nothing more,"
Shane tells her. "I just want that part of my life to stay in the past, where
it belongs." | |

*** Meanwhile, at
the nurses station, Will drops off some files for the receptionist to file away
for him. He just finished his rounds with some of his patients, and he knows he
has another round to do. His mind, briefly, pauses and thinks about how Paige
told him that she liked the kiss that they shared, but he was worried about his
feelings for Eva. Paige, in turn, told him that she wouldn't wait for him forever,
so if he was interested in her, he should make a move. "She is a
beautiful woman," he whispers to himself. "And, Eva has reunited with
Dominick, so there is no chance that we will be together." He pulls
his phone out of his scrubs and finds Paige's contact number. "I don't want
to make the same mistake that I did with Madeline, but I can't put my life on
hold forever." He sighs before he pushes the button to send Paige
a text message. "Thought about what you said, and you're right - let's get
dinner and drinks? An official date, if you will?" He pushes send
and then exhales. Immediately, three bubbles start to respond to his message.
"I'd love that, name the time and place, and I'll be there, x Paige",
the message reads, causing Will to get a smile on his face. Dominick's
Townhouse
Eva looks over her shoulder and realizes that Dominick is
not in the living room of the townhouse that they live in together. She uses the
opportunity to pull out her phone and she dials a number quickly. She left the
home earlier in the morning and went to see Frederick, where she told him that
she would keep the fact that he, and Felicia, are alive a secret. When she got
home, however, Dominick pressed her for details about where she was, so she told
him that she was arranging a surprise for him. "Yes, this is Eva
McCloud," she says into the phone. "I need to make a dinner reservation
for tonight, and it has to be at the most romantic table you have at the Pink
Flamingo
the time? Let's say 7?
Perfect, thank you." She
hangs up the phone just as Dominick returns to the living room. "You know
my beauty," he says to her as he comes up and kisses her on the cheek. "I
haven't been able to stop thinking about this surprise that you have planning
for me," he admits to her. "What are you up too?" "Do
you really want to know" she asks him with a grin on her face as he nods
back to her. "I have made dinner reservations for us tonight at Pink Flamingo,
and I've requested the most romantic table in the restaurant. We are going to
celebrate our reunion, Dominick.
Dominick leans in and kisses her on the
lips. "I love the sound of that, I really do." The Tower's;
The Penthouse; Cory's Home
Penny slowly uses her mobility cane to navigate
her way back into the living room of the penthouse, where she sits on the sofa.
She exhales heavily as she is still getting used to the cane and the surroundings,
but she thinks she is handling everything as well as she can. "You
just did that all on your own," Cory smiles to her as he moves into he living
room. "You're getting the hang of it, huh?" Penny chuckles back
to him. "I wouldn't go that far, but I think I am getting the feel of using
the cane," she tells him. "Thanks again for all your support with this.
You've made this transition as easy as possible." Before Cory can
respond, the doorbell rings. "I wonder who that could be," he says as
he moves to the door. He sees Robin standing on the other side. "Robin, hi,
come in." Hearing Robin's name makes Penny roll her eyes as she knows
that Robin is still in love with Cory. Deep down, she still wishes that she and
Cory would be together. "Hi Robin." "Hello Penny,"
Robin says as she moves into the living room. "I just wanted to stop by and
see how you're settling in?" "Cory has been a lifesaver,"
Penny replies to her, as Robin and Cory make eye contact. "I couldn't have
done any of this without him." "He is the best," Robin
agrees with her. "I hope you know that I am here for you as well, if you
need anything." "Thanks a lot," Penny says as she stands
up. "If you don't mind, I think I'm going to lay down, I'm suddenly feeling
tired." "Of course," Cory replies to her. "You know
where to find me if you need anything." They watch as Penny slowly
exits the living room, allowing the former lovers to look at one another. "How
are things really going?" Robin asks him in a whisper. "Like
she said, as well as to be expected," Cory sighs back to Robin. "She's
still adjusting and navigating life as a blind person; this will take time."
"I understand, probably better than anyone." "You know,
you should talk to her about that when she's up for it," Cory tells her.
"She might appreciate knowing that someone else close to her went through
something similar." "I will," Robin nods to him. "And
you, how are you handling all of this?" Cory sighs again. "I
am trying my best to be there for her in any way that I can, it's the only thing
that eases my conscious." "You have to let that go," Robin
encourages him. "For your own sake, Cory, you have to start blaming yourself
for what has happened." Robertson Enterprises "How
was your lunch?" Victoria asks Jeff as he moves back into her office at Robertson
Enterprises. She recalls how they were brainstorming together on some ideas for
an upcoming launch with the company when Jeff got a text from Leah asking him
to join her for an early lunch. Jeff left and Victoria continued to work, and
now he is back. "It was alright," Jeff fails to tell her that
Leah walked away from him when she learned that he was working with Victoria.
He knows that there is tension between Leah and Victoria, but he has to work with
Victoria, so he doesn't want to rock the boat. "Did you come up with anything
new for the new product?" Victoria taps a pencil on the desk before
she looks back at Jeff. "Honestly, the best idea I had was something using
some new designs by Trenyce," Victoria tells him. "We haven't had a
major fashion launch in a while." "That's true," Jeff replies
to her. "The last new line we had was the winter-wear launch at Caldwell's
Ski Resort." "And then the avalanche hit," Victoria shakes
her head as she remembers the disaster party from years earlier. "I remember
it well because Donovan thought Lukas died in the avalanche; my brother was a
wreck." "I wish everyone could see this side of you," Jeff
replies to her quickly as she looks back at him in surprise. "And
what side would that be?" "The loving, caring, warm sister that
you are," Jeff says back to her. "It is nice that you and your brother
are so close." "I would do anything for Donovan," Victoria
replies to him. "I think that's one thing we all have in common, we all love
our family and will do anything for them."
"I agree with you
there," he chuckles back to him. "Okay, let's continue to focus on this
idea of a new clothing launch, where do we go from there?" ***
Meanwhile,
in the main office, Tyler sits behind his large desk looking at some of the latest
sales figures from the company. He knows that the company is in a rut and this
is why he got Victoria to work on a new project that will put the company back
on top. "I know I shouldn't be here, but I was going crazy at home,"
Leah announces as she moves into the office. "Leah, you're right,
you probably shouldn't be here," Tyler sighs back to his sister as he stands
up from his chair and looks at Leah. "If any member of the board saw you
here
" "Then what?" Leah asks him quickly. "I
will tell them that I am visiting family at my family company!" "I
know you don't want to hear this, Leah," Tyler folds his arms over his chest.
"But the optics right now appear that you stole from this company. We both
know you didn't, but that's not what it looks like; you have to lay low for the
time being." "I told you, I am going crazy being at home,"
Leah admits to him. "I so accustomed to being here every day." "I
get it, Leah. I really do, but until we have proof, this is how it has to be."
"Then find the proof!" Leah yells back at him. "Prove that
Victoria, that bitch, set me up! Because Tyler, I don't know how much longer I
can handle this!" The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino
"Thanks for meeting me here," Lukas tells Donovan as they sit across
from one another at the restaurant. Lukas arrived earlier to have a drink as he
needed to calm down after he and Donovan received custody papers from Abby as
she wants to have full custody of Olly. After he had a drink, Lukas asked Donovan
to meet him so they could come up with an action plan to counter Abby's claim.
"We need to get on the same page when it comes to Abby, Olly, and this damn
case." "I couldn't agree more," Donovan sighs back to him
before he takes a sip of his gin and tonic. "The last thing I want is for
that woman to steal our son from us." "We won't let it get to
that point," Lukas reaches over and grabs Donovan's hand. "We are in
this together, Donovan. Abby will not steal Olly from us." "I
hope you're right," Donovan replies to him. "My stomach is in knots
thinking about it." Before Lukas can respond, he looks over at the
entrance and sees Abby moving inside with Ethan following her. "Oh God, speak
of the devil." Donovan looks over his shoulder and sees the couple
moving into the restaurant. "I'm going to have a hard time not saying something
to her," Donovan tells him, as he stands up and walks in front of Abby as
she was about to walk past his table. "You have a hell of a lot of nerve!"
Abby looks back at Donovan in surprise. "I take it that you have received
my custody papers?" "What the hell are you thinking?" Lukas
asks her in a harsh tone. "You want to uproot Olly's entire life? We are
the only parents he has ever known! Our house is the only home he has ever lived
in!" "But he is my son," Abby protests back to them. "Look,
I know this will be hard, but I didn't give you my baby by choice; he was
he was stolen from me! And I want him back!" "And to hell with
Olly and his needs?" Donovan asks her. "This proves that you're an unfit
mother!" "Hey, that's enough," Ethan moves past Abby and
looks back at Donovan with intent. "I get that you two are upset, but attacking
Abby will not solve anything. So, I suggest you put your big boy pants on and
deal with what has happened." "Oh trust us," Lukas sneers
back at him. "We will do just that because there is no way in hell we are
losing our son to Abby, no way in hell!" Next on One Day at a
Time - Victoria and Bryce come face to face - Sophie confides in Logan -
