The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino


Paige wipes her mouth after she finishes her mouthful of chicken penne before she looks back at Will, who is about to take a sip of his wine. They've been on a date together and it is going better than she had expected. She knew that he was struggling with his feelings for Eva, but she told him that she wouldn't wait for him forever, so if he was interested, he needed to make a move, and, then, he asked her out.

"That was delicious," Paige says as she puts her napkin down. "This was a good idea."

Will chuckles back to her as he sets his wine glass down. "I mean, we both had to eat, better to do it with the company of someone we enjoy, right?"

"You enjoy me?" she asks him with a chuckle.

"Of course," Will nods back to her. "You're a smart, beautiful, funny woman. Did I mention beautiful?"

Paige giggles back to him. "You did, and I'm flattered, thanks Will. You're also a very good-looking guy."

"I am glad you think so," he winks back at her. "Are you finished?"

"I think so, why?" she asks him as they lock eyes and lust creeps over them.

"Because," he leans forward and whispers to her. "I think we should head back to my place and have, uh, desert there."

Paige smiles back to him. "Really? You think so?"

"Was that too forward? Because yea, I'd love that."

"Not too forward at all," she says. "You actually read my mind. I…I could use that, a lot."

"Let's go then," he stands up and grabs her hand, eager to make love to her.

The Calimo Mansion

Natasha pulls her red silk robe over her body and then moves to the large, king-size bed that is in her bedroom that she shares with Shane. Her mind is still racing over this situation with Sophie finding Shane's yearbook; in the yearbook, Shane is listed as Derek Rainer. When Natasha asked him about it, Shane claimed that the editors didn't catch the typo before the book went to print. What's baffling to Natasha, however, is that Shane snapped at Sophie and told her to stop looking at his belongings.

"I know Shane told me that he snapped at Soph because he had a rough childhood," she whispers to herself as she crawls into the bed. "But something isn't sitting well with me. He's…he's never really spoken to me about his upbringing; all these years that we have been together, and he's never really spoke about it."

She opens her end table and pulls out the yearbook. She opens it to the page where Shane's picture is there. "Derek Rainer," Natasha reads the name out loud. "What is going on with you Shane, and why do I get the feeling that there is more to this story then what you're telling me?"

***

Meanwhile in the living room, Robbie pours himself a scotch before he looks at Kim, who is looking into the flames of the fire that is burning in the fireplace. He knows that she is still struggling with her most recent miscarriage, and she thinks that his affair with Madeline is the cause of the events they are experiencing now.

"Can I get you a nightcap?" he asks her as he moves closer to Kim.

"No, I'm fine," she whispers back to him. "I…I should go to bed. I'm exhausted."

"I'll be up shortly," Robbie replies to her. "I'll just finish this drink and then I'll come up."

"Take your time," Kim tells her husband. "I'm going to sleep in one of the guest rooms tonight."

Robbie looks back at her in surprise. "Kim, please don't do that. We…we need to be united right now. Please don't shut me out; we are grieving together."

"United?" Kim asks him quickly. "The way we were united on New Year's Eve when you slept with another woman? That kind of united?"

"It was a horrible mistake," Robbie tells her. "I don't know how many times I can apologize to you."

"Nothing you say or do will bring our baby back," Kim feels her eyes swell with water. "The fact is, your affair set all of this into motion."

"I won't let you throw us away again Kim," Robbie looks at her. "We went through this when you lost our other baby; when Tara kidnapped Cheresa and you were caught in the crossfire. We got through that, and, my God, we will get through this."

"I don't know if we will," Kim admits to him. "This might be, finally, the last straw for me Robbie."

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

Trenyce moves to the sofa with a beer in her hand and passes it to Andrew, who is sitting in the living room. He cracks the beer and, immediately, takes a sip of it.

"Thanks for the beer," he tells her as she sits next to him. "How are you feeling about everything that has happened?"

Earlier in the day, Trenyce made an appointment at the hospital to have a DNA test completed on Albertinah so they can find out if Andrew or Chris is her biological father. This all came together because now that Daisy has been released from the hospital, Chris is, once again, suing her for custody of Albertinah, since he is furious with her and Andrew for their affair.

"To be honest, I am relieved," Trenyce sighs to him as she takes a sip of her red wine. "We will all, finally, know the truth, and then we can move forward. How are you feeling?"

"Similar to you," Andrew agrees with her. "I know Chris is hurt by what happened, but it was so long ago, and if Tinah is my daughter, I have a right to know, and he has no right to have custody of her."

Trenyce chuckles back to him. "I just hope he can put this to rest once the truth comes out," Trenyce tells him.

"You know he will go ahead with the case if he is her father though," Andrew tells her quickly. "So this might not be over, Trey, it might just be getting started."

"You're right," Trenyce uneasily gulps back to him. "But if Chris thinks that I am just going to turn over my daughter to him, he has another thing coming. I will fight for Tinah with every fiber in my being."

The River Rock Casino

Daisy paces back and forth in her suite at the casino. Her mind is racing over the fact that she suggested to Trenyce that she get a DNA test on Albertinah to find out who her biological father is. At the time, Daisy thought that the DNA test might help Trenyce keep her daughter since Chris is, once again, suing her for custody of the child. However, when Daisy was visiting Meggan, she told her that if Andrew is revealed to be the father, the reveal could push him closer to Trenyce again.

Daisy knows that once she got out of jail, her and Andrew made love, and she thought it was wonderful. They have been close ever since they were trying to escape Antonio's clutches all those months ago. The thought of losing Andrew now, scares her to her very core.

"We just reconnected," she sighs to herself. "The last thing that I want is to lose Andrew; damn it, I didn't even think about that when I suggested to Trey that she get this test done."

She takes a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm. "But the fact is, Trenyce did get pregnant shortly after she and Andrew had sex, so there is a good chance he is the father of Albertinah, and that means that he and Trey would be bonded together, forever."

Robertson Enterprises

"I know that it is late, but I couldn't sleep," Leah says as she moves into the main office and she sees Tyler starting to wrap up his day. "Sorry, I am guessing you were just on your way home?"

"Yea, it's been a long day," Tyler sighs back to her. "You can walk me to my car if you'd like?"

"Before you go," Leah looks back at him with intent. "I need to know if there's any update on the investigation into Victoria? I still know that woman set me up to make it appear that I stole the money from Robertson Enterprises."

"There hasn't been an update," Tyler replies to her. "Right now, all the evidence still points to you, Leah. I think we will have to get creative to get the truth to come out."

"Ugh, I hate this," Leah throws her hands in the air. "There must be something we can do?"

"We will think of something, I know we will."

"Wait, that's it," Leah looks back at him as she just got an idea.

Tyler arches his eyebrow back to his sister. "What are you thinking, Leah?"

"Victoria saw Jeff and I earlier," she reveals to him. "And she told us that she ran into Bryce, my son is back in town."

"That's good to know."

"Bryce might the one person Victoria will trust enough to tell the truth too," Leah tells him quickly. "Bryce might be the key to Victoria's downfall."

The Claus House; Jeff, Leah, & Paige's Home

Jeff pours himself a night cap from the bar in the living room of the house that he lives in with Leah and Paige. He knows that he and Leah were talking earlier, and she ran back to the office to see if Tyler has uncovered anymore information on the idea that Victoria arranged for the missing funds from Leah's computer.

What is also on his mind is that Victoria told him and Leah that Bryce is back in town. He is glad that Bryce is back, but he also knows that his son was hiding out because of his role in the baby switch that came to light.

He moves to his phone and starts to send his son a message. "Heard you were back in town, hope we can connect soon, love you, Dad," Jeff types the message and pushes send.

"We will be a family again, I have to believe that," Jeff whispers to herself, wondering if he and Leah can finally put their fractured family back together again.
