The Calimo Mansion

"Louie, he told me that the reason you left your past and created this new identity," Natasha says as she looks at her fiancé as they continue to stand facing one another in the living room of the Calimo mansion. Natasha just revealed to him that she did go back to Detroit and met with Louie, who revealed that he is Shane's father, because she wanted to get to the truth about his past as she felt like he wasn't telling her the truth. "Is because you killed your mother. He said that you killed the woman that gave you birth to you."

Shane feels the blood drain from his face as he hears what Natasha is telling him. He turns around and moves to the bar, where he pours himself a scotch and, immediately, takes a sip of it.

"Is it true, Shane?" Natasha asks him as she moves closer to him. "Is your real name really Derek Rainer? Louie is your father and you killed your mother? Is that why you ran away and created this identity of Shane Glubbs?"

"Enough Natasha!" Shane yells at her as he turns to face her. "I told you to leave this in the past! This is the exact opposite of that!"

"Don't you get it?" Natasha asks him back. "I need to know who you are before I marry you, Shane! I need to know the truth about the man I want to spend my life with!"

"None of this mattered the other times that we were married Natasha," Shane spits back to her. "Why does it matter this time?"

"I didn't know the previous times, did I?" Natasha questions him again. "No, I didn't, so I couldn't have questioned you. I'm…I'm not the type of woman that can just turn a blind eye away when things don't feel right, Shane! You know that about me, it's one of the reasons that you fell in love with me! So please, I'm begging you, please tell me what is going on here? Tell the truth, finally!"

Shane slowly turns around and looks her in the eyes. "Fine," he whispers back to her. "If you want to know what happened, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything," he says as he takes another large gulp of his scotch as Natasha gulps heavily back to him.

The Tower's; The Penthouse; Cory & Penny's Home

"Are you sure we have enough time to do this?" Cory asks Robin as they open the door to his bedroom in the penthouse and move inside, their lips continuing to kiss one another as they enter. They had been talking on the sofa earlier and Robin admitted to Cory that Penny revealed to her that he helped her get dressed. The idea of Cory seeing Penny in her underwear left her feeling unsettled, and he reassured her that he only has feelings for her and that she would have to keep her insecurities in check. Since Penny was resting, they decided to come upstairs and have some romantic time with one another.

"Penny said she was going to rest, so I think we have all the time in the world," Robin purrs back to him. "Besides, I need you so badly."

Cory removes her shirt and starts to kiss her again. "I need you too," he says as his lips move down to her neck and he lays her on the bed before he crawls on top of her, eager to have her.

Meanwhile, downstairs in her room, Penny sits on her bed recalling how she heard the conversation between Cory and Robin, where Robin was clearly jealous that he saw Penny in her underwear.

"Her reaction says that my plan is working," Penny whispers to herself. "I just need to keep going with my plan and, soon, Cory will be mine again. I am sure of it."

She stretches her arms and while she does, she can, suddenly, see something in front of her. It only lasts a moment but she gasps out in shock. "My God," she says to herself quickly. "Is my vision coming back? Am I going to see again?"

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Victoria sits near the back of the of the restaurant having a light lunch. Her mind is still focused on the new line she is working on with Jeff at Robertson Enterprises; she got some great feedback from Tyler, and she is looking to incorporate it and make the quick changes that she needs too.

Just as she is about to take a bite of her salad, she happens to see Bryce move into the restaurant and sit at the bar. She shakes her head at the sight of her estranged husband, still furious with him for his role in the baby switch. She, then, happens to see Isabelle approach him. She can't help but wonder what they are talking about.

"You've been ignoring me," Isabelle says as she approaches the bar, having seen Bryce enter the restaurant. "Did you really think that would last forever?"

Bryce sighs back to her as the bartender makes him his drink. "I haven't been ignoring you, Isabelle, I promise. I have been busy with some family issues and work."

Isabelle groans in disgust. "The fact of the matter is, Bryce, you used me to make your wife jealous," she shakes her head back at him. "I was just a way for you to toy with Victoria, and that makes me sick to my stomach."

"We both got what we wanted from that encounter," Bryce defends himself to Isabelle. "I'm sorry if you don't see it that way."

Isabelle slaps him hard across the face, which leaves him fuming. "You're lucky I don't ban you from this establishment," she glares at him. "I'm warning you, Bryce, you stay as far away from me as possible. If you see me crossing the road, walk the other way. I want nothing to do with you, do you hear me?"

Bryce nods back to her before she storms off. At her table, Victoria gets a grin on her face, having witnessed the scene unfold in front of her.

***

The table at the very back of the restaurant is being occupied by Paige. She has an herbal tea in front of her and she is thinking about her life currently. She just had a doctor's appointment, where she learned that her, and her unborn child, are perfectly healthy and the pregnancy is progressing as it should.

Before the appointment, however, she ran into Will, and they had words as Paige is furious with him for lying to her, and the entire Robertson family, about the fact that Felicia is alive and with Frederick. In her mind, Will is just as responsible as Eva and Frederick for helping keep her grandmother away from her. What's worse, is that because Felicia has been kept from them for so long, Frederick somehow was able to convince her to marry him.

"This is a sign that I can't ever tell Will about this baby," she whispers to herself. "I…I can't trust him; he has proven that to me by lying about Felicia, and by continuing to have feelings for Eva. I still don't know what I am going to do about this pregnancy, but I do know that Will can never find out about it."

***


At another table nearby, Logan and Sophie sit across from one another, each with a mocktail in front of them. After they woke up from a day of day drinking, they have agreed not to drink around one another for the time being. Neither one can still believe that they slept with one another, but they are unable to remember the act.

"We aren't making this more awkward, are we?" Sophie chuckles as she takes a sip of her Shirley Temple before she looks back at Logan.

"I still want to be your friend, Soph," Logan admits to her. "We messed up, but we are both adults, and if you're cool to still be friends, then that's what I want."

"Of course, that is what I want," Sophie winks back to him. "I think we made the right decision not to drink though."

"Agreed, even though I could use one."

Sophie arches her eyebrow back to him. "Are you okay? What's gotten you so blue?"

Logan sighs back to her. "My family, what else?"

Sophie chuckles to him. "If anyone can relate to family drama, it is me," she reminds him. "But why don't you tell me what's going on?"

"I found out that my grandfather, Frederick, is alive," Logan reveals to Sophie, who looks back at him in surprise. "He faked his death and has let us all believe he's been dead for over a year. To top it off, Frederick married Felicia Robertson, a woman that he has been obsessed with for years."

"Wow," Sophie replies to him. "No wonder you feel like your head is spinning."

"Yea," Logan nods back to her. "My Mom was stunned, hurt, confused, and furious. I…I don't think I've ever seen her like that before."

"What do you think she's going to do?"

"I don't know," Logan sighs back to her. "And that's what scares me."

The Victors Mansion

Andrew slowly walks through the foyer towards the living room of the Victors mansion. Earlier in the day, Daisy revealed to him that Frederick is alive and well; not only is Frederick living, but he is married to Felicia. While Daisy is getting ready for the dinner party that they are having with Chris and Trenyce, Andrew found himself driving to the mansion to see, for himself, if Frederick was alive.

"The rumors are true," Andrew says as he moves into the living room and sees Frederick about to pour a drink. "You're alive."

Frederick turns and sees the boy that he helped raised after Savannah died. "Andrew," he says with a grin on his face. "Yes, I can say that those rumors are true. I am here."

"I have to admit, it is good to see you," Andrew says moving closer to him, before they end up hugging. "I know I might be in the minority, but you always treated me well."

"It is great to see you too," Frederick tells them as they exit their embrace. "And for the record, I've been keeping up on you. I was thrilled to see you get out of the hold that Antonio fellow had on you."

Andrew uneasily shakes his head back to him. "I am guessing you knew he was bad news which is why you didn't give me money all those months ago."

"Exactly right," Frederick winks back to him. "How are you truly feeling that Tinah is not your daughter?"

"You know about that?"

"I told you, I've been keeping tabs."

Andrew chuckles back to him. "It's been difficult, but I am moving on," he tells him. "In fact, Daisy and I are engaged. Keep that to yourself, it's not public knowledge just yet."

"Well, congratulations!" Frederick grins back to him. "You marrying my daughter; that makes me very, very happy."

Dominick's Townhouse

Dominick paces back and forth in the living room of the his townhouse as he is racking his brain trying to figure out how he can get Felicia away from Frederick. He doesn't believe that Felicia, willingly, accepted his marriage proposal, but that doesn't change the fact that they are married. He hates that Frederick has gotten his claws into Felicia, but he refuses to allow this be her fate.

"I don't know how I can get Felicia away from that man, but I have too," he whispers to himself. "I won't stop until Felicia is safe and away from Frederick."

Before he can say anything else, he hears the doorbell ring. He scurries towards the door but he rolls his eyes when he sees Eva standing on the other side.

"What the hell do you want?" Dominick asks her as she pushes her way into the living room of the house.

"We need to talk, Dominick," Eva says as she throws her purse onto the sofa. "You can't shut me out forever! You and I, we need to work through this; together, we can come up with a way to get Felicia away from Frederick."

Dominick starts to chuckle back at her. "You want to help me get Felicia away from Frederick?" he asks her as he continues to laugh. "That's rich considering you're the reason she is still there in the first place! You realize that had you told me, or anyone, that Felicia was at the mansion when you learned, she would be home by now! You're to blame for this mess!"

"Dominick, please, just hear me out," Eva pleads with him. "I can help you, I swear I can!"

"I don't want your help!" Dominick yells at her. "I don't know what I have to say or do for you to grasp that, but I want nothing more to do with you, Eva!"

The Calimo Mansion

Shane and Natasha move to the sofa in the living room and sit next to one another. Shane has, finally, agreed to tell Natasha the truth about his past.

"As you can tell by now," Shane begins to tell Natasha. "I was on the high school football team; I was an all-star quarterback. My Mom, she never missed a game, while my Dad, he couldn't always attend the games because he had to work."

"He was putting food on the table."

"Exactly," Shane sighs back to her. "We had just won a game that clinched our top division spot," Shane continues to tell her. "Me and the guys were on a high, but it was a school night, so we couldn't celebrate. But when I saw my Mother, she gave me the biggest hug in the world. She…she said she was so proud of me."

"She was Shane," Natasha grabs his hand.

"She agreed to let me drive home," Shane continues his story to his fiancé. "On the road, however, that's where it all changed."

"Changed? What happened?" Natasha asks him as Shane takes a sip of his scotch.

"Some of the guys from the football team ended up partying after anyways," Shane reveals to her. "I was driving home, but in the field next to us, I could see fireworks going off. I…I had wished that I was with them. And then…"

"And then?"

"I took my eyes off the road," Shane whispers to her. "I was looking at the fireworks and when I looked back at the road … it was too late."

"Too late for what?" Natasha asks him.

"To dodge the moose," Shane says as he bites his lip. "We hit the animal and the moose, it collapsed on top of the our car. My mother…she died as a result."

"Oh Shane," Natasha shakes her head in disbelief. "I'm so sorry."

"My father, he blamed me for my mother's death," Shane continues to tell her. "That's why he thinks I killed my mother. He … he hates me as a result of this. So, now can you see why I ran away, Natasha? Can you see why I left?"
