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

Donovan sits in the living room of the lavish Richardson estate and feels his heart racing. Earlier in the day, he was at the hospital, and he happened to steal Abby's medical file. He was hoping to find something that they can use against her in this custody case that she has file in hopes of taking Olly away from him and Lukas.

"I don't know if I will find anything in here," he whispers to himself as he opens the file. "But it was worth a shot. I will do whatever I can to make sure that we don't lose my son."

"What are you looking at?" Lukas asks his estranged husband as he moves into the living room and sees Donovan sitting on the sofa with some papers in front of him.

Donovan quickly tries to hide the file and looks back at Lukas. "Uh, nothing. Nothing at all."

Lukas arches his eyebrow back to him. "Donovan, what is that? I can tell that it is something based on your reaction," he says moving closer to him. "What are you reading?"

Donovan sighs back to him. "I…I, well, I went to the hospital," he reveals to him. "And I took Abby's medical file."

"You did what?" Lukas asks him in shock as he moves to the sofa and sits next to him. "Why did you do that?"

"To be honest," Donovan looks back at him. "I was hoping to find something, anything, that we could use to help our custody case."

"Wow," Lukas looks back at him with a smile on his face. "You weren't lying when you said you will do anything to help us keep Olly, were you?"

"I will do anything," Donovan replies to him. "And if you want to help, you can take some of the papers and help me find something to help us."

"I'd love that," Lukas says as he takes some files and starts to read the paperwork. "Whoa, I think I found something already."

"What?" Donovan asks him in surprise. "What is it? What did you find?"

***

Meanwhile, upstairs in the study, Meggan moves to the bar and pours herself a vodka. She takes a long sip of it and feels the burn down her chest, which makes her feel so much better. She is still struggling with the fact that Jeff continues to press her to stop drinking; she just wishes that everyone would leave her the hell alone with her drinking.

"Mom, hey," Logan announces as he moves into the study and sees his mother at the bar. "What's going on?"

"I just thought I would have a nightcap," Meggan turns to face her son. "How about you? Was that Sophie I saw leaving earlier?"

"Yea, Sophie was here," Logan nods to her. "We were just catching up."

"You have a thing for her, don't you?" Meggan smirks back to him as he moves to the bar and makes himself a drink.

"She is dating someone already," Logan tells his mother before he turns to her and takes a sip of his drink. "So even if I did like her, nothing will happen because Sophie is with someone else."

"Take it from someone who knows," Meggan looks back at his son. "Things in relationships can turn on a dime; you and Sophie might not be together right now, but that could change at any time."

Logan chuckles back to her. "How about we toast to that?" as they hit their glasses together.

"This is nice," Meggan says after she takes a sip of her drink. "You and me, having a drink together."

"I told you," Logan tells her. "You drinking doesn't impact me like it does Dad. You have to be okay with your own life choices, and if this is a part of it, so be it."

"Thanks my baby boy," Meggan smiles at him. "Thank you so much."

Robertson Enterprises

Jeff opens the door to the main office at Robertson Enterprises and starts to move towards the elevators as he is wrapping up for the day. He is looking forward to heading back to the house that he shares with Leah and Paige, having a glass of wine, and then turning in. He and Victoria have been working hard on coming up with something new for the company, since Tyler wants to be them back on top.

He turns his head after he pushes the elevator button and notices the light is still on Victoria's office. He checks his watch and realizes that it is pretty late, so he finds himself moving to her office.

"Knock, knock," he says as he opens the door and Victoria looks up from her desk. "I'm heading out, do you want to come?"

Victoria uneasily chuckles back to him. "I wish I could, but I feel like I have a million things to do still."

"Tomorrow is always another day," Jeff replies to her. "You won't do yourself any good if you burn yourself out."

Victoria continues to smile at him. "Can I be honest?" she asks as he moves closer to her desk. "Since I found out about Bryce's involvement in the baby switch, I have turned to work a lot. It keeps me busy, and I like that."

"The revelation really rocked you, didn't it?"

"More than you know," Victoria purses her lips together. "I thought I knew him; Bryce, he, he told time and time again that he had no more secrets, and then I found out he did this to my brother? Being rocked is an understatement."

"I am sorry," Jeff looks back at her. "How about we compromise? You leave with me now and we will stop at the Pink Flamingo for a drink? We can brainstorm and then head home?"

Victoria finds herself nodding back to him. "Okay, that sounds nice," she tells him as she stands up. "You've convinced me."

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Frederick sits on the brown leather sofa in the living room of the Victors mansion, feeling a sense of relief as Eva has told him that she will keep the fact that he and Felicia are alive a secret. He was worried that she would tell Dominick the truth, but the fact that she will keep mum means that he can continue to hide out until he thinks that time is right to reveal himself. He still knows that Meggan knows the truth, but considering she is drinking again, he can use that to his advantage.

Now, he can focus on Bryce and convincing him to move on from Victoria. He knows that his grandson still has feelings for his wife, but after everything that Victoria has put him through, Frederick wants his grandson to put her behind him.

He opens a screen on his IPad and sees a picture of Isabelle, from an article on how she inherited the the River Rock Casino after Antonio's passing.

"Now that is a beautiful woman," Frederick looks at the image on his tablet. "This is the kind of woman that Bryce should be involved with."

"Did I hear my name?" Bryce asks as he moves into the living room.

"I was just reading this article on Isabelle Moretti," Frederick stands up and faces his grandson. "This is the kind of woman I think you would be suited for."

Bryce looks at the tablet and chuckles back to him. "Not this again; you still think I need to move on from Victoria?"

"I don't think you do," Frederick looks back at him with intent. "I know you do, Bryce. And Isabelle, she could be the perfect way to get Victoria out of your system. Just think about it, okay?"

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I didn't realize you were working the night shift with me," Cheresa announces to Will as she moves closer to the nurses station on the main floor of the hospital. She is happy to see a friendly face as she is working the night shift as it can be quiet some nights."

"I am indeed," Will chuckles to her as he sets some files down on the counter. "And I just did my last rounds for an hour, so I have some downtime."

"Ah, nice, me too," Cheresa nods back to him. "This gives us a chance to talk, quickly?"

"Uh, sure?" Will replies to her. "What's up?"

"You've become friends with Chantel, right?" Cheresa asks him quickly.

"Yea, you can say that," Will says back to her. "Working together with her, we have become closer. Why, what's up?"

"I don't know what she has told you about her and I," Cheresa explains back to him. "But we had a fling; Dawn found out and was devastated. But Dawn and I have reunited and are trying to make our relationship work."

"That's great for you two," Will tells her. "But I do feel bad for Chantel; I know she was crushing pretty hard on you."

"I feel bad too," Cheresa admits to him. "But the truth is, Dawn has always had my heart."

"Chantel will get over this, it might just take some time."

"Yea, that's what I was hoping until…"

"Until? Until what?" Will asks her in confusion.

"Until Dawn started getting these threatening text messages from an unknown number," Cheresa explains to her. "They started coming in after Chantel found out that we were going to reunite."

"And you think Chantel is sending these messages?"

"I don't know what to think," Cheresa sighs to him. "But Dawn seems convinced that they are coming from Chantel. As Chantel's friend, what do you think? Do you think that she could be the one sending these messages to Dawn?"

"From my interactions with Chantel, I would be shocked if she was the one sending the messages," Will tells her. "I'm sorry that Dawn is going through this, but I don't think Chantel is the one behind the messages."

The Tower's, Floor One; Andy & Nicholas' Condo

"I know it's late, I should get going," Kim tells Andy as she stands up from the sofa in her brother's condo and moves towards the door. "But thanks for having me for dinner; I know you and Nicholas wanted some alone time since you are planning your wedding."

"Don't worry about it," Andy hugs her. "I know that you're going through a difficult time right now; you're always welcome here, you know that."

"Thanks," Kim purses her lips back to him. "It's just…losing this baby has hit me so hard, Andy. I feel like I am cursed; every time I think that I am going to be a mother, something happens. And it always seems to stem from something Robbie has done."

"He wanted your baby just as much as you did," Andy tells her. "Sleeping with Madeline was a mistake, but he never meant for that to happen."

"He never does," Kim whispers back to him. "But these things keep happening, and, to be honest Andy, I don't know if I can keep doing this song and dance with Robbie. This…this might be the final straw for us, once and for all."

The Calimo Mansion

Robbie stands in the living room of the Calimo mansion and pours himself a scotch from the bar, which he immediately takes a sip of. His mind is racing over the fact that he and Kim are, once again, on the rocks because she blames him for the death of their baby. While he knows that he did sleep with Madeline, he never forced Kim to drive to the cabin in a snowstorm, but he also doesn't want to point fingers at her.

"That drink looks stiff," Natasha chuckles as she moves into the living room. "Rough day?"

"You can say that again," Robbie sighs back to his sister. "I don't know Nat, I think that I've lost Kim, for good this time. I don't think she will be able to forgive me for sleeping with Madeline."

Natasha moves closer to her brother. "You and Kim have been through so much, Robbie," she reminds him. "This too will pass, I can't imagine she will want to throw everything you have together away."

"I hope you're right," he sighs back to her. "I love her so much, and this just feels final."

"Don't give up, okay?" Natasha tries to encourage him. "I think you two will make it to the other side in all this."

"Thanks," Robbie forces a smile on his face as he sets his glass down. "I'm going to turn in, talk to you tomorrow."

"Night," Natasha tells her brother, as he leaves the living room. Once she is alone, Natasha grabs her phone and looks at the screen. Her mind is still racing over this ordeal with Shane having the name Derek Rainer in his high school yearbook; he has told her that the yearbook had a typo and the editors didn't catch it before it went to press, but what continues to trouble her is how Shane lashed out at Sophie, since she is the one that found his yearbook.

"I need to go to Detriot," she whispers to herself. "Maybe if I visit Shane's high school, I will get more answers. I will book my flight tomorrow, and tell him that I have a business trip. I'll be gone two days, at most, but I could find out what Shane is really hiding."

The Lawson Estate; Abby & Cheresa's Home

Ethan sits on the sofa in the living room of the Lawson estate while Abby is cleaning up the herbal that they shared before they are going to bed. Ethan stares at his phone in shock, however, as he got a message from Bryce asking him to represent him in the baby switch charges that he has against him. Ethan knows that if he agrees to support his brother, Abby will lose it because the baby that Bryce stole was hers. Still, he can't help but wonder if he would help Bryce, since they bonded after the truth about their paternity came out.

"Hey, I'm going to call Andrew one more time and then crash," Abby says as she moves into the living room, causing Ethan to put his phone down. "I just want to ensure that he will testify at the trial."

"Okay, sounds good," Ethan replies to her, not wanting to tell her about Bryce's request right now. The last thing he wants to do is upset her to the point where she will not be able to sleep, or get worked up, since she is pregnant with his child. "I'll head up and see you soon. And Abs, I hope Andrew agrees to help you."

"Thanks," Abby says as Ethan leaves the room and heads upstairs. Abby, then, grabs her phone and dials Andrew's number. "Andrew, hi, I'm sorry it is so late, but I needed to know if you have made up your mind about testifying at my trial to get Sonny back?"

Abby pauses as she listens to Andrew's response. "Thank you so much for agreeing to testify, I owe you one. Together, we will get our son back, I know you will."

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

"Come on, Lukas," Donovan looks at his husband with intent. "What did you think you found on Abby?"

Lukas looks back at him with intent. "A few months before Olly was born," Lukas replies to him. "Abby had a paternity test done," he shows Donovan the page from her file. "Why would she need to have a paternity test completed?"

Donovan looks at the file in shock before he looks at Lukas. "Do you think that Andrew is the biological father?" he asks his husband in shock. "If Abby is lying about the father of our son, this could be the smoking gun that we need to keep Olly with us…"

"This will ensure we don't lose Olly," Lukas smiles back to him. "I am sure of it."
