Twin Peaks General Hospital

Abby gulps heavily as she looks at Ethan before she turns her gaze to Max and Andrew, both of whom just walked into her hospital room and told her that they need to talk to her. She knows that the previous day while she was on the witness stand, she was forced to admit that Max, not Andrew, is Sonny's biological father. She can only imagine how both men are feeling from that revelation.

"Max, Andrew," Ethan stands up from sitting next to Abby. "I'm not sure that this is a good time. Abby, she's recovering from an emergency c-section, and our new baby girl, she's expected here anytime. We'd like to meet our daughter, if you don't mind."

"We do mind," Max glares back at him before he looks at Abby. "We need to know the truth, Abby. For once in your life, tell the truth."

"Is what you said on the witness stand true?" Andrew asks her next. "Did you tell me, and everyone, that I fathered Sonny when, in fact, Max is the father?"

Abby gulps back to them as she feels tears swell in her eyes. "Yes, it's true," she whispers back to them. "But if you let me explain, I can tell you why I did it. I can tell you everything."

"Start talking," Max grits his teeth back to her. "How the hell could you keep this from me?"

"And how could you make me mourn a child that wasn't even mind?" Andrew asks her in shock and horror. "What the hell is wrong with you, Abby?"

Dominick's Townhouse

"I barely slept a wink last night," Eva announces to Dominick as she moves into the living room of the townhouse that she lives in with her estranged husband. Eva sees Dominick pouring himself a glass of orange juice from the bar in the living room and recalls how the previous night Dominick admitted to her that Will revealed that Felicia is alive. Eva can't believe that Will would tell her secret to Dominick because she knows that this could change everything in her relationship with Dominick.

"You and me both," Dominick turns to face her. "I kept thinking about what Will said, that Felicia is alive and well."

"It's mind boggling," Eva admits to him as she pours herself a cup of coffee. "I wonder why wonder he would suggest such a thing."

"You've always been close to him, Eva," Dominick looks back at her with intent. "So, you tell me, why would Will say that? Why would he say that my ex-wife is alive? And do you know if it's true or not?"

"Why would I know anything about this?" Eva asks him in surprise.

"Like I said, you and Will are close," Dominick continues to look at her. "He would have told someone if this is true; so, I'm going to ask you again, Eva, is Felicia alive? Is the mother of my children alive? I need to know, and I need to know now!"

The Calimo Mansion

Jacob enters the living room of the Calimo mansion with a sly grin on his face, which immediately his parents, Shane and Natasha, notice as they sit next to one another on the sofa. They are, actually, surprised, to see Jacob as they thought he was away.

"Someone is in a good mood this morning," Natasha stands up from the sofa and looks at Jacob, who is at the bar in the living room.

"I am indeed," Jacob nods to her as Sophie enters the living room. "Morning Soph."

"Morning," Sophie says with a slight yawn.

"I'm going to make mimosa's, we are going to celebrate," Jacob announces to his family. "Who would like one?"

"Mimosa's?" Shane asks his son with a peeked curiosity. "What are we celebrating?"

Jacob pops open some champagne and starts pouring them into flutes. "I went away yesterday," Jacob announces as he passes the glass around to his family. "With Cassie."

Natasha rolls her eyes back to him. "And where did you and that woman go?"

"Vegas," Jacob reveals to everyone as Natasha and Shane look at one another in surprise. "We got married. Cassie and I are husband and wife!"

"What?" Natasha shrieks back to him. "Jacob! What the hell were you thinking?"

"Congratulations Jacob," Sophie smiles over to him before she takes a sip of her drink. "I think it's wonderful."

"Thanks Sophie," Jacob smiles back to her. "And Mom, Dad, I know how you feel about Cassie, but after everything that has happened, being with Cassie and Carter, it is what I want. So yes, I married her."

"My God," Shane shakes his head back to him. "This is going to end in a disaster, Jacob. You see that don't you?"

"No, I see that I am happily married and I'd like my family's support. Is that too much too ask for?"

"Not from me," Sophie hugs him. "Like I said, I'm happy for you."

"We…we need time to process this," Natasha sighs to Jacob. "You know how we feel about Cassie Nova; that woman has done nothing put us through hell. To think you're going to spend the rest of your life with her… my God, I'm going to be sick!"

Shane watches Natasha rushes out of the room before he looks back at Jacob. "I'd like to say she will come around, but I don't think she ever will Jacob. You've married our worst enemy."

"And I love her," Jacob looks back at Shane. "So, get on board, or you'll risk losing me, and Carter, forever."

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


"What a morning," Trenyce sighs to herself as she moves into the living room of the house that she lives in with her children. Both BJ and Albertinah were restless all morning, so now that they are down for their nap, she feels like she can breathe and take a few moments to collect herself.

As she moves closer to the fireplace, she can't help but look at a picture of her, the kids, and Chris. She smiles at the sight of it now that Chris has been revealed to be Albertinah's father; she recalls how right before the DNA test results came back, she suggested to Chris that they get back together and make their family work if he is revealed to the be the father. She wonders how Chris is feeling now that the truth is out.

She sets the picture back down when she hears the doorbell ring. She moves to the front door and sees Chris standing on the other side of the door. "Chris, hey," Trenyce uneasily smiles back to him. "I was just thinking about you."

"Yea?" Chris asks as he moves into foyer of the home. "What were you thinking?"

Trenyce uneasily sighs back to him. "Just how amazing it is that we know the truth, finally; you're Albertinah's father, Chris. I feel like we can, finally, put this nightmare behind us and move forward."

"I'm not sure it will be that easy," Chris admits to her. "But I am thrilled that the test proved that I am that little girls father. I would have been gutted if anything else came from that test."

"I know," Trenyce looks back at him. "But you know what I think? I think that this is how it should have been all along; you, me, and the kids… that's how this story ends, Chris. I guess it depends if you feel the same way as I do?"

The Cascade Apartments

Cheresa knocks repeatedly on the front door of Chantel's apartment. She sighs when the door doesn't open, which is leading Cheresa to become more worried about her former lover. Earlier, she and Dawn were at the hospital discussing the threatening messages that Dawn has been receiving; Dawn, still, believes that Chantel is the one sending the messages, so they agreed to confront her. When Cheresa went to track Chantel's schedule, however, they realized that Chantel had missed multiple days of work without providing the hospital any reason or rationale. That's when Cheresa came to the apartment, but since Chantel isn't answering, Cheresa is worried about Chantel.

"Chantel gave me this spare key in case of an emergency," Cheresa whispers to herself as she opens her purse and pulls out a key to the apartment. She uses the key and opens the door and slowly moves into the apartment.

"Hello?" she calls out as she moves through the small hallway towards the living room. "Chantel? Are you here? Chantel?"

Cheresa gasps when she gets to the living room of the apartment. "My God," she covers her mouth as she sees the living room trashed. Pillows from the sofa are on the floor; the books from the bookshelf are scattered everywhere, with one bookshelf tipped over; the artwork on the wall is slanted.

"What the hell happened in here? And where is Chantel?" Cheresa asks herself becoming more concerned then ever before about Chantel.

Robertson Enterprises

"Thanks for coming over this morning," Tyler tells Leah as he welcomes his sister in the main office of Robertson Enterprises. Tyler asked Leah to stop by the office because of the most recent reports from the security team on the missing funds that still point towards Leah's involvement. He is dreading telling her because he knows that she still believes that Victoria has set her up, however, there is no evidence to support this.

"Of course," Leah purses her lips together. "It's not like I have a busy calendar right now since I am unemployed," she chuckles to him. "But I did see Robin this morning."

"Oh nice, how is she?"

"She's great," Leah smiles back to him. "The kids are getting so big!"

"Time certainly flies, doesn't it?" Tyler chuckles back to her. "I won't keep you too long because I am busy here, but I wanted you to get an update from me."

"Alright," Leah arches her eyebrow. "I am guessing that this has to do with the investigation?"

"Yes, it certainly does," Tyler nods back to her. "I got an updated report from the security team on their investigation."

"And? Did they prove that Victoria is the mastermind behind this?"

"No," Tyler shakes his head back to her. "I am afraid not; all the evidence still shows that you were the one behind the transfer of those funds because it was your computer and logon used. They will still investigate, but so far all the evidence points to you."

"I will not stop until I prove my innocence," Leah firmly replies to him. "I did not steal from my family's company! Mark my words, I will find the evidence that Victoria is behind this!"

***

Victoria, meanwhile, sits in her office looking at her computer screen. The previous night she had come up with an idea that Robertson Enterprises next line could be a bath and spa line; she is, now, trying to finalize all of the various products that they could come up with on the line. In her mind, however, she can't help but think of the fact that she kissed Jeff after he liked her idea.

She shuts her eyes for a moment and thinks about the kiss for a moment. It had been a long time she kissed a man because her marriage to Bryce is falling apart because of his role in the baby switch. The scruff on Jeff's face felt good against her, and his lips were soft.

"You're daydreaming," Jeff says as he moves into her office. "What are you thinking about?"

Victoria feels her cheeks flush when she sees him. "You don't want to know."

Jeff chuckles to her. "Please tell me it wasn't that kiss that we shared?"

"It was, I'm guilty that I was thinking about it," she admits to him as he sits across from her.

Jeff sighs back to her. "You said it won't happen again, and that is true. I am in love and very happy with Leah, Victoria."

"I know, I know," she waves her hand in the air. "It won't happen again, I promise you that, but that doesn't mean that I can't think about it. It was…it was a good kiss."

It is Jeff's turn to feel flush. "I can't deny that either," he looks back at her. "But our relationship has to stay professional, nothing else."

"I couldn't agree more," she nods back to him, even though she is clearly looking at him through a different lens now.

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"Hey, thanks for meeting with me," Sophie says as she sits across from Logan at a table in the restaurant. After she finished her mimosa, she came into town to see her friend as her head is still spinning over the fact that Max fathered Abby's child. She her head is spinning over the fact that Max is a father with a woman that she has felt insecure about. "I hope you weren't in the middle of anything important.

"Nah, it's all good," Logan replies to her quickly. "I was going to go to court to support my Uncles, but the case in recess because Abby went into labour yesterday."

"I heard," Sophie admits to him. "Max came by and told me what happened. I…I can't believe that he fathered Olly or Sonny, whatever his name is."

"You should have been there," Logan chuckles back to his friend. "You could cut the tension with a knife when she was being cross examined."

"And all this time, Abby was lying about who fathered her child? I mean, who does that?"

"Abby, I guess," Logan replies to her. "How are you feeling about this Soph? I know that you were already concerned about Max's relationship with her. How are you feeling knowing that he knocked her up?"

Sophie gulps back to him. "I…I don't know," she admits to him. "I feel like this will change everything, and not for the better."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Abby feels bad enough without either of you coming in here and attacking her," Ethan stands up and moves closer to Andrew and Max, who have been grilling Abby for details on how she could lie to them about Olly/Sonny's paternity. "If you want answers, she can give you them, but you will treat her with respect."

"We just want answers," Max crosses his arms over his chest before he looks back at Abby. "Start talking, Abby."

"Okay," Abby takes a deep breath and looks back at the men. "At the time, you both know, that I was obsessed with Andrew. I…I really thought that we were meant to be together. I was so happy when we made love, but Andrew, you told me that you used me to make me feel bad, and I was crushed," she admits to them as she recounts what happened all those years earlier. "And that's when I turned to you, Max. One thing led to another, and we had sex. It only happened once but I ended up pregnant, and I had no idea who the father was."

"So, you just told me I was the father?" Andrew asks her in shock.

"No, not at first," Abby continues to look at him. "I went to a small clinic and had a paternity test completed. It showed that Max was the father, but…I let my obsession get in the way and I told everyone that you were the father. I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone."

"Even after you thought Sonny was dead, you let me mourn a child that wasn't mine?"

"And I didn't get the chance to mourn my child," Max grits his teeth back to her. "This is fucked up, Abby. Really, really fucked up. You've literally lied to everyone for years!"

"I'm so sorry," Abby cries back to them. "Please tell me you understand, please tell me you can forgive me?"

"I don't think I will ever be able to forgive you," Max spits back to her. "The sight of you, it…it makes me sick!"

Max rushes out of the room and Andrew follows him, leaving Abby and Ethan alone. He moves closer to her and pulls her into a hug. "I don't know how I will make this right," Abby whispers to him. "But I have too, I have to make this right."

Dominick's Townhouse

"Just because I am close to Will, doesn't mean that I would have any knowledge on his claim that Felicia is alive," Eva quickly looks back at Dominick, who is pressing her for details on why Will would claim that Felicia is alive and well.

"That's true, but I get the feeling that there is more to this," Dominick looks back at her with intent. "I need to know the truth, Eva. What is going on here? Why would Will say that Felicia is alive?"

"Ugh!" Eva shrieks back to him as Dominick gasps back to her. "Because she is, okay? Felicia and Frederick are alive - and I've seen them!"
