Twin Peaks General Hospital

Chris feels the blood drain from his face as he listens to the muffled words from Stephanie. Of course, they are only muffled because he is in complete and utter shock as the doctor just told him, Trenyce, Andrew, and Daisy that Albertinah could not be his daughter, and that she needs another bone marrow transplant as her aplastic anemia has returned. He doesn't know how to make sense of what is happening as they just had a DNA test completed which proved that he is Albertinah's father.

"I…I feel like I'm going to faint," Chris finally breaks the awkward silence in the room. Trenyce, Andrew, and Daisy move towards him and help him to one of the chairs.

"Sit down, and I'll go get some water," Daisy tells her former husband. She is panicked as she knows that she altered the last paternity test to show that Chris, not Andrew, was Albertinah's father as she was worried that if the truth came out, she would lose Andrew.

"I…I don't know what is happening," Trenyce tells her husband as her eyes fill with water before she looks back at Stephanie. "What you're saying, it's not true? We…we had a DNA test? It confirmed that Chris fathered my little girl?"

"I can explain everything," Stephanie replies to everyone. "But right now, we need to action to help Albertinah; the sooner she can get the bone marrow transplant, the higher likelihood she will make a full recovery."

Andrew moves closer to the doctor. "I donated last time, so I will donate again," he tells everyone, as Daisy comes back into the room and passes Chris some water, which he drinks immediately. "It will save time from finding another donor."

"Very well," Stephanie replies back before she looks at Chris and Trenyce. "I'm going to get Andrew set up and I'll come back and explain everything."

Chris looks at Trenyce and shakes his head. "What the hell is going on here Trenyce?" he asks her. "How is it possible that she claimed I'm not Tinah's father? How is any of this happening?"

"I…I wish I knew," Trenyce's lower lip quivers, as Daisy gulps heavily. "But Stephanie, she will explain it all to us. She has too."

The Calimo Mansion

"I…I don't think I heard you correctly," a startled Robbie asks Madeline as they continue to stand in the foyer of the Calimo mansion. Madeline surprised Robbie by showing up on his doorstep; she had been out of town for weeks, and now, she is standing in front of him, with a child in a baby carriage, claiming that the boy is their son. "You had a child? Our child?"

Madeline nods back to him before she covers the stroller again so the child doesn't wake up. "It's why I left town," she tells him quickly. "We slept together on New Year's Eve, and I found out I was pregnant. I…I didn't know what to do about the baby, so I left town."

"New Year's Eve was only 8 months ago," Robbie shakes his head back to her. "You expect me to believe that you gave birth to my child? That timing doesn't add up, Madeline."

"I know all of that," Madeline continues to explain to him. "The truth is, I went into premature labour, and our son, he just left the hospital a few days ago. Once he was given a clean bill health, I came back to Twin Peaks because I had to tell you. I had to tell you that we have a child together, Robbie."

"This…this can't be true?" Robbie says, continued to be shocked by what she is saying.

"I…I have proof," Madeline replies to him quickly as she opens her large purse and passes him some hospital records. "My discharge papers from the hospital, take them Robbie, and see, that I was there, I gave birth, and I just left with our son a few days ago."

Robbie takes the papers in his hand and starts to read the papers before he looks back at her in shock. "My God, it's true? We…we have a son?"

***

Meanwhile, in the living room of the mansion, Natasha and Shane sit next to one another on the sofa with glasses of wine in front of them. Each of them are holding their tablet's as they are finalizing their wedding plans, which a few days ago remained up in the air as Natasha learned that Shane killed his mother. After he explained, however, she learned that the death of Shane's mother was a horrible accident. Realizing that Shane is still the same man, Natasha agreed to marry him still.

"I know we've spoken about this already," Shane looks over at his fiancé. "But I do feel like I want to make sure that you still want to marry me, despite everything that has happened."

Natasha takes a sip of her wine before she sets her glass back down and then she looks into his eyes. "I feel like I should ask you the same question," she admits to him. "I continued to dig into your past despite you asking me to drop it; I know that I upset you by going back to Detroit multiple times and seeing Louie."

"I was upset with you," Shane sighs back to her. "But in the end, I actually felt a lot better telling you the truth. It was a huge weight off my shoulders."

"I am glad that you finally told me the truth," Natasha replies to him. "And the story you told me, it was a horrible accident with how your mother was killed. Louie, he was so caught up in his grief that he blamed you instead of looking at the facts."

"Yea, it was a very painful time for me."

"And now," Natasha grabs his hand. "We can spend the rest of our lives together and only creating happy memories. So to answer your question, yes, I still want to marry you. More than anything else in this world."

Shane leans in and kisses her on the lips. "I was hoping you'd say that."

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Dominick slowly opens the front door to the mansion and moves inside. He quietly closes the door behind himself before he walks to the stairs and heads up them. He is being quiet so he doesn't alert Frederick, or possibly Bryce, that he is there because he wants to see Felicia alone. He, and the rest of the family, is still trying to think of a way to get Felicia away from Frederick, but so far, they haven't thought of anything.

He slowly opens the door to her bedroom and peers inside. He can see her sitting at her desk writing in her diary.

"I hope I'm not interrupting?" he asks as he moves into the room and closes the door behind himself.

Felicia turns and sees Dominick, getting a smile on her face at the sight of him. "Oh, Dominick, no of course not," she welcomes him into her room. "It's good to see you, how are you?"

"I am fine," Dominick sits on the edge of her bed and looks back at her. "How are you? And be honest with me?"

"I am perfectly fine," she nods back to him before she moves some of her red hair out of her face. "I know everyone has been worried about me."

"We thought you were dead, Felicia," Dominick explains to her. "Frederick, he led us to believe you that two of you died in a fire at Raven's Meadow last year; we have all been grieving you. So, when we found out that you were not only alive, but married to him, we have had some concerns."

"He's taking very good care of me," Felicia replies to him quickly. "He wouldn't do anything to hurt me, you have to believe me. There…there is one thing though."

"What?" Dominick asks her.

"You, my family…" she locks eyes with him. "I miss you all so much. I do wish that we were together like we used to be."

Dominick grabs her hand and kisses it. "We will be," he whispers back to her. "I don't know how yet, but we will be together, Felicia, you can mark my words on that."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"Let me get this straight," Bryce nervously chuckles back to Leah before he takes a sip of his scotch as they sit next to one another at the bar of the restaurant. "You want me to help you get Felicia away from Frederick?"

Leah nods back to her son, knowing that she just proposed that if Bryce helps her get Felicia away from Frederick that she would help him save his marriage to Victoria. Leah knows that she, and the rest of the Robertson's, have been trying to come up with a way to get Felicia away from Frederick, and it came to her that Bryce could help them.

"That's right," Leah reveals to him. "We know that something must be going on with Felicia because there is no way in hell that she, in her right mind, would agree to marry Frederick; she hates him for everything that she has put him through."

"I…I had no idea," Bryce admits to her. "Frederick has always made it seem like they were in love."

"He's sick that's why," Leah looks back at him. "But Bryce, you're on the inside with Frederick; with your help, we could get Felicia to safety."

"And, uh, in return, you're willing to help me save my marriage to Victoria?"

"You know that I don't like the idea of you and Victoria being together," Leah tells him. "But if you will help us, help me, with Felicia, then yes, I will do whatever I can to help you get back together with Victoria. So, what do you say? Will you help me? Will you help save your grandmother?"

Robertson Enterprises

Jeff bends over and picks up his shirt and throws over his naked, muscular chest, while across the office, Victoria puts her bra back on her body to cover her breasts. The two just finished making love on Victoria's desk, and there is an awkward silence in the room, as they both realize that they have crossed a line that shouldn't have been crossed.

"I'll finish getting dressed and head home," Jeff finally speaks breaking the silence between the room. "Do you, uh, need a lift home?"

"No," Victoria pulls her skirt up to her waist before she looks back at him. "I…I need to clean up all this office supplies that was on my desk before the morning. I…I don't want anyone to ask any questions about what might have happened to cause this mess."

"I can stay and help you with it," Jeff suggests to her quickly.

"No, you don't have too," Victoria quickly tells him back. "You should get home before Leah gets suspicious about where you are."

"You're right," Jeff sighs back to her. "Vic, I…I don't know what to say."

Victoria looks back at him. "I don't think there is anything else to say," she admits to him. "We just had sex, that's all it was. We just got caught up in the moment, Jeff, nothing more, nothing left."

"Yea, you're right," Jeff nods back to her. "This won't ruin our working relationship, will it?"

"Of course not," Victoria purses her lips together. "We just have to realize that it happened and move on, Jeff. I think I can handle that, can you?"

"I can," he tells her. "For the record, I had a good time."

"Me too," Victoria chuckles to him. "But we have to agree that this can never happen again."

"Yes, agreed."

The Lawson Estate; Abby & Cheresa's Home

"I haven't heard a peep from Abby," Cheresa tells Dawn as she moves up to the sofa in the lavish living room of the Lawson Estate and finds her girlfriend sitting. She sits next to her before she grabs the bowl of popcorn that she made since they were going to watch a movie before bed. "I hope the trial went well."

"It's late, are you sure the Judge will make a decision tonight?" Dawn asks her quickly.

"That's what Abby said," Cheresa replies to her. "I guess they wanted to expediate the trial since they were delayed after Abby gave birth to Georgina."

"She is a sweet little girl," Dawn gushes over the baby, who is sleeping upstairs. "Abby will be thrilled if she gets Sonny back too."

"By the way, have you heard anything more from Simona?" Cheresa asks her quickly, changing the subject, as they both know that the police detective opened a murder investigation after she found a foot in the back of Chantel's vehicle. Neither one can believe that someone broke into Chantel's apartment and killed her, but that is what the evidence is suggesting.

"No, nothing," Dawn shakes her head back to her. "Have you?"

"I haven't," Cheresa explains to her. "But now that I think about it, I am not sure that Simona will tell us all the information of a murder case anyways; we are civilians, not police detectives."

"I just can't believe that this is happening," Dawn explains to her. "Chantel was innocent in all of this year; the fact that someone killed her, it sends shivers down my spine."

"Mine too," Cheresa admits to her, who stops her next sentence when Dawn's phone pings with a new text message. "Is it Max about the trial?"

Dawn grabs her phone and feels the blood drain from her face. "My God," she gasps as she shows the screen to Cheresa. "It's … it's another message!"

"You're going to die, just like your blonde bitch friend," Cheresa reads outloud.

"Oh my God," Dawn starts to cry hysterically. "Whoever killed Chantel, they want me dead next!"

The Calimo Mansion

"Yes, Robbie," Madeline looks back at Robbie. "Like I told you, I found out that I was pregnant, and I left town. I didn't want you to have this complication, especially after Kim lost your child in the snowstorm. That's why I didn't say anything to anyone, I just thought it would be best if I disappeared for a while."

"And then you gave birth prematurely?"

Madeline continues to nod back to him. "That's right; I was about 7 and a half months along when I gave birth to the little guy; it's why he stayed in the hospital for a little bit longer than normal; the doctor's wanted to make sure that his lungs were developed and that he would be okay."

"And he was given a clean bill of health?" Robbie continues to ask her questions.

"He was," Madeline smiles back to him. "And once he was released, I came back to Twin Peaks so you could see our son. We have a little boy, Robbie."

"Can…can I see him?" Robbie asks her quickly, as Madeline lifts the covering of the baby carriage, and Robbie moves closer to see the small child, who is fast asleep. "He's…he's so cute."

"His name is Bobby," Madeline tells him. "After your father, Bob."

"Bobby?" Robbie gasps in amazement. "I…I don't know what to say."

Madeline moves up and hugs Robbie. "We have a son together, Robbie. We have a beautiful little boy," she tells him as Robbie continues to stare into the baby carriage while hugging Madeline.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I don't understand what is happening," Trenyce admits to Daisy as they sit next to one another in the waiting room while Chris is pacing back and forth. "How can Stephanie claim that Chris isn't the father of my daughter?"

"I wish I knew," Daisy tells her. "I am sure that there is some kind of mix up."

"Andrew is getting ready for the transplant," Stephanie announces as she moves back into the waiting room. "It should happen shortly."

"Thank God," Chris says moving back up to the doctor. "Now, you can explain what you meant when you said that I wasn't Albertinah's father; what did you mean by that?"

"I mean that it's true," Stephanie looks back at him as Trenyce and Daisy come up next to Chris. "When I was reviewing Albertinah's file, I noticed that her blood type is different than yours Chris."

"Couldn't it be that her blood matches mine?" Trenyce asks her quickly.

"There is no way for Chris to be Albertinah's father," Stephanie reminds them as Chris feels his heart start to race quickly. "I don't know what happened with the last DNA test, but Chris is not Albertinah's father. It's not medically possible."
