on One Day at a Time - Andrew took the witness stand and was forced to
admit his sorted past with Abby. Josh, meanwhile, asked Andrew if someone else
could be Sonny's biological father - Eva told Will about her struggles with
Dominick. He suggested that they be together again. Paige felt faint - Natasha
arrived in Detroit - The day of Albertinah's DNA test arrived - Frederick
arranged a meeting between Isabelle and Bryce Twin Peaks Law Courts
"You really took it to Andrew," Lukas whispers over to Josh as he
sits next to Donovan at one of the front desks in the court room. Lukas recalls
how Josh just reminded the court, and Andrew, of all of Abby's antics before they
slept together all those years ago, including breaking up him and Paige, exposing
Andrew's affair with Albertinah, and questioning whether or not Andrew was Olly's
father. "Yea, Josh, that was amazing," Donovan chuckles to him.
"The Judge has to realize what kind of person Abby is now." "That
was my plan," Josh replies to him. "And that's just the start; I will
make sure every last one of her past misdeeds are mentioned." Meanwhile,
at Abby and Ethan's table, she let's out a large sigh. "That was awful."
"Not at all was lost," Ethan looks back at her. "Andrew really
showed how devastated you and he were when you thought Sonny was dead. That's
going to look good for you two." "I hope so," Abby admits
to him. "But what was that at the end of Josh's questioning? Asking Andrew
if he thought he was the father?" "You tell me?" Ethan
looks back at her while Abby gulps. "Is Andrew the father?" Abby's
eyes peer into the audience where she sees Max sitting, as he came to support
her. "Yes, yes, of course he is," she lies to Ethan. "Andrew is
the father of my baby." "Then we have nothing to worry about."
Before Abby can respond, Franklin Ross smashes his mallet down. "Mr.
Alexander, call your next witness please." Ethan stands up and buttons
up his suit jacket. "We call Cheresa Lawson to the stand," he announces
as Cheresa stands up and makes her way towards the witness stand. | |

The Pink Flamingo at the River
Rock Casino Bryce gets a glum look on his face as he listens to the
voicemail that he received from Ethan informing him that he that won't represent
him in the charges that he has against him in the baby switch. Bryce sighs as
he hangs up the phone; he knew that because of Ethan's involvement with Abby,
it was a long shot, but he thought that Ethan might consider it considering how
close they got after they learned that they were Jeff and Leah's children.
"Was that phone call bad news?" Isabelle asks him as she continues
to sit across from him. The two only met earlier in the day, thanks to Frederick
arranging the meeting, and they have realized that they have a lot in common.
"I'm facing some legal issues and I asked my brother to help," Bryce
reveals to her. "Only, he said no. My own brother won't help me."
"That doesn't seem right," Isabelle tells him back in surprise.
"What kind of brother is that?" "The family dynamic is
complicated." Isabelle chuckles to him. "I can understand that,"
she says as she moves some hair behind her ear. "No family is perfect, but
I do hope that you can find someone else to help you?" "There
are many other lawyers that I can reach out too," he admits to her. As he
looks over her shoulder, he sees Victoria paying her bill as she had been there
working with Jeff. His father has already departed, and he can tell that Victoria
is about to leave as well. "I'm really glad that we met and are hitting it
off, Isabelle. I have to admit that I needed to be in the company of a beautiful
woman today." Isabelle's cheeks flush back to him. "That's kind
of you to say," she tells him. "But I am also glad; my romantic life
has been non-existent lately, so flattery from a good looking man like yourself,
is appreciated." Just then, Victoria looks over at Bryce and Isabelle's
table. She locks eyes with her estranged husband, who then leans across the table
and kisses Isabelle. Victoria rolls her eyes and leaves the restaurant. Meanwhile,
Bryce and Isabelle's lips part ways. "Sorry if that was too bold," Bryce
tells her. "I
I don't know what came over me." "It's
all good," Isabelle purses her lips together. "I don't mind that at
all." D.S. Mackenzie High School, Detroit, Michigan
Natasha
opens the door to the high school in Detroit and moves inside. She travelled to
Michigan in hopes of finding out more about Shane's past, since she felt like
it was odd that his name in the yearbook was Derek Rainer, and he snapped at Sophie
for bringing out the yearbook in the first place. While Shane's explanations have
made sense, something in the pit of her stomach is telling her that she needs
to keep looking into this. She moves closer to a display cabinet just
outside the main offices and sees pictures of past, and current, sport champions
that the high school has had grace their halls. She sees a picture of the football
team, the Hawks, and smiles as she recalls how she was a cheerleader in high school.
She sees another black and white picture of the football team and gasps. "That's
Shane
"
she says as she looks at the younger image of her fiancé. "But the
headline
what the hell is going on?" She asks as she reads the
headline under the picture. "QB Derek Rainer Secures Playoff Spot".
"May I help you?" a voice calls out from behind Natasha. Natasha
turns around and sees one of the school secretaries behind her. "Yes, yes
you can, or at least, I hope you can." Twin Peaks General Hospital
Chris paces back and forth in one of the waiting rooms of the hospital
while Trenyce sits in a chair. They are waiting for Albertinah's DNA test, which
is happening later in the day. Just then, Daisy appears at the entrance way and
moves back inside. She was at the hospital but she needed an escape because she
continues to be worried about losing Andrew if he turns out the father. "Is
Andrew back yet?" Daisy asks her niece and estranged husband. "Not
yet," Chris replies to her. "I hope he's not too much longer because
the test is scheduled shortly." "I'm here," Andrew announces
as he moves into the waiting room. "The trial, it was intense, but I'm here."
"I can't imagine how Donovan, Lukas, and Abby are feeling," Trenyce
replies to him as she looks over at Chris. "Nobody should have to fight for
their child." "I'll have to head back to court after the DNA
test," Andrew reveals to her. "I want to be there for Abby to see if
she gets custody of Sonny." "Look at you spreading your seed
all around this town," Chris huffs. "First Abby, and maybe now, Tinah."
"Chris, this isn't the time," Daisy cuts him off. "We all want
the same thing, the truth. So cut it out." Chris puts his hands up
in defeat. "Sorry about that," Daisy grabs his hand. "It's
okay," Andrew replies to her. "You're right, we just want the truth,
and that's what we will get today, finally; the truth will come out today."
The Sugarbowl "I know what I just said was a lot,"
Will tells Eva as they continue to face one another in the back booth of the coffeehouse.
Eva just admitted to Will that Dominick told her that he feels like something
is missing between them, despite their reunion. Will, in turn, told her that maybe
it was a sign that they could be together after all. "But what do you think,
Eva?" "My head is spinning," she admits to him as she looks
back over at him. "I know that you care about me, Will, and I appreciate
that about you, more than you know. But
my heart is with Dominick, and I
just feel like I should do everything in my power to make it right with him."
"How may times does that son of a bitch need to hurt you before you will
open your eyes to how he treats you?" Will asks her as she looks back at
him in surprise. "He keeps doing this merry-go-round with you, Eva. When
wil youl get off the ride?" "I
I don't know what to tell
you." "You know that I would treat you like a princess,"
Will tells her quickly. "Why isn't that enough for you?" "You
are enough," Eva looks at him immediately. "You always have been, Will."
"Then give us a try?" Will asks her as he leans across the table
and kisses her on the lips. "Give us a chance to shine?" She
kisses him back and as their lips part, he grabs her hand, indicating that he
wants to take her back to his place. Robertson Enterprises
Paige sits on the sofa in the main office of Robertson Enterprises. She is
trying to focus on the report on her laptop screen, but she continues to feel
flushed and faint. Earlier, she went to get a glass of water, and she had to stop
herself from collapsing. Since, she moved to the sofa, but the symptoms are increasing.
"What the heck is wrong with me?" she whispers to herself as she
moves her laptop and then grabs her glass of water, which she drinks more of.
"This isn't normal for me; I
I wonder if I am coming down with a flu
bug or something?" She sets her water glass down and feels the blood
drain from her face when she realizes something else. "No, it can't be,"
she says as she grabs her phone from her purse. She opens the calendar on her
phone and counts the days. "Oh my God
.I'm late." She sets
the phone down and covers her mouth in shock as she realizes that she and Will
made love recently, and they didn't use protection. "Could
I
be
pregnant?"
Twin Peaks Law Courts
Cheresa tries to get comfortable in the
hard, wooden witness stand after she is sworn in. She looks over at her sister,
Abby, who has tears in her eyes. She knows that Abby is counting on her to help
her get custody of the son that she thought was dead, but if Cheresa is honest
with herself, she is dreading this process. "Ms. Lawson," Ethan
stands up from his chair and moves closer to the witness stand. "How could
you describe your sister, Abby Lawson?" Cheresa smiles at the question.
"Abby
she's the best," Cheresa chuckles as Abby smiles back to
her. "She's loyal to a fault, she's driven and determined, she can sometimes
get in her own way, but she has the heart of gold; she never means to do wrong.
She's the best." "It sounds like you and Abby are close?"
"We are," Cheresa nods back to Ethan. "We are the only members
of our family left in town, so yea, we are close." "Can you
explain to me and the court how Abby's demeanor changed when she believed that
Sonny, her child, was dead?" Cheresa puts her head down for a moment
and tries not to get choked up. "She was a shadow of her normal self,"
Cheresa whispers to the court. "She was depressed, she was crying all the
time; she couldn't understand how she could carry a child for nine months only
for him to die. It was the darkest period of her life." "How
do you think this should turn out, Cheresa? This is a complicated case,"
Ethan asks her next. "It is complicated," Cheresa nods back
to him before she looks at Lukas and Donovan. "You two, you've been there
for Sonny for years; no one can take that away from you, but the truth is, Abby
was told her baby was dead! That is cruel, and she should have her child back.
I think that is the only right, and fair, thing to do." Donovan holds
Lukas down as he wants to stand up and protest. Lukas looks at Donovan, and he
is able to nod and calm Lukas down, who picks up his glass of water. "Thank
you, Cheresa, no further questions." "Ms. Lawson," Josh
stands up from his chair and looks at the witness. "You said earlier that
you and Abby are the only members of your family left in town. Why is that?"
Cheresa gulps back to him. "Well, my Dad, he left town as he got another
job." "And your mother? It also says here that you have a brother?
Where are they?" Josh asks her next. "Surely they should be here to
support Abby throughout all of this?" "They are dead,"
Cheresa reveals to the court. "Brad, my brother, was killed by a serial killer
years ago. And my mother, she's also dead." "I'm sorry to hear
that," Josh replies to her. "How did your mother die?" Cheresa
looks over at Abby, who grabs Ethan's hand in support. "My mother was mentally
ill," Cheresa tells him. "She was revealed to be the serial killer that
took Brad's life; she was about to kill my father, when Abby interjected and stabbed
her." "So you're saying, the sister that you just said had a
heart of gold, killed your own mother?" "It was self-defense!"
"After Abby stabbed and killed your mother, did she not let your father
take the wrap for it? He was arrested, wasn't he?" Josh asks next. "Yes,
but it's because Abby
" "No further questions your honor."
"Redirect?" Ethan stands up and looks at Cheresa. "Finish your
sentence, Cheresa. Why did Abby allow your father to take the murder charge?"
"She blocked it out," Cheresa tells him and looks up at Franklin.
"Once she remembered, she was sentenced to community service, because it
was an accident." "No further questions," Ethan says as
Abby breathes a sigh of relief. She turns and sees Max looking at her. He gives
her a nod of approval, thinking that the case is going well. "This
has to work," Abby whispers to Ethan. "I can't lose Sonny all over again
