The Claus House; Leah, Jeff & Will's Home

Will paces back and forth in the living room of the house that Leah, Jeff, and Paige live in. He stopped by earlier in the evening to apologize to Paige for everything that happened between them, which she was receptive too hearing. Paige was just about to have a bubble bath, so she was only wrapped in a towel, and when she went to get him a drink, the towel slipped and he noticed that she had a small baby bump growing, which is when he confronted her about being pregnant. Paige grabbed her towel and went to put some clothing on, but he knows that they must discuss the pregnancy.

"Sorry about that," Paige sighs as she moves back into the living room, wearing jeans and a white t-shirt. "I just wanted to get out of that towel."

"I get that," Will looks back at her. "But now that you're dressed, we have to talk, don't you think?"

Paige uneasily nods back to him. "I didn't think I was showing yet," she admits to him as she puts her hand on her stomach.

"I am a nurse," Will reminds her. "I've seen women that are pregnant at every stage, remember?"

"Right, of course," Paige tells him. "Look, I am sorry that I didn't tell you about the baby, it's just…"

"So, it is mine? I'm going to be a father?" Will asks her in disbelief.

"You're the only man I've been with recently," Paige replies to him. "So yes, you'll be the father."

"Why haven't you told me about this?" Will asks her quickly. "Why didn't you tell me that I got you pregnant?"

"Why?" Paige asks him with a chuckle quickly. "Why do you think, Will? You admitted to me that you still loved Eva," Paige reminds him. "Then we broke up. I…I wasn't sure what I was going to do about any of this," she admits to him.

"You haven't known what you're going to do?" Will asks her in surprise. "You're going to have a baby, we are going to have a baby! That's what's going to happen!"

Paige looks back at him. "And if I am not ready to be a mother with a man that is in love with another woman? Then what, Will? Having this baby, it's not going to be that easy, and that's why I haven't made up my mind about what I'm going to do yet. And that's something you're going to have to respect; this is my decision."

"That's my child too," Will reminds her. "And if you think I'm going to sit back and do nothing, you're wrong about that," he says as Paige looks back at him in shock and awe.

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Nicholas moves up to the bar in the restaurant and takes a seat as the bartender lets him know that his takeout order isn't ready yet. He decided to grab some late-night treats for him and Andy to share when he gets home since they both had to work late. As he pulls out his phone to check his Instagram feed, he turns his head and happens to see Melissa sitting at a table by herself with a martini in front of her. He sighs at the sight of his mother, wondering why she is still in town.

He finds himself moving over to her table and sits across from her. "You're still in town, I see?"

"Very observant," Melissa purses her lips before she takes a sip of her martini. "I saw Robin earlier in the day, she is looking lovely."

"I was texting Robin all day," Nicholas informs her. "She told me that she wanted you to leave town, just like I do. So, it bares the question as to why you're still in Twin Peaks? What are you up to mother?"

Melissa chuckles back to him. "I have unfinished business," she informs him. "And I will not leave until that is resolved."

"If this unfinished business has anything to do with me and Andy, I am warning you right now, to leave us alone," Nicholas warns her. "You will not come between me and my fiancé, do you understand me?"

"Yes, yes, dear," Melissa waves her hand. "Don't get your boxers in a knot, okay? Oh, look, your order is ready. I suggest you get that back to Andy before he opens a bottle of vodka for his late-night snack instead of those treats you ordered."

Nicholas shakes his head back at her. "Leave us alone, mother. I'm not going to tell you again."

Melissa gets a sly grin on her face as she takes another sip of her martini knowing that she will not stop until Nicholas and Andy's relationship is up in smoke.

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

Cory moves into the living room of the penthouse wearing only a pair of grey sweatpants. His muscular chest glistens from the moonlight that is coming in through the window. He pours himself a scotch and takes a hearty sip of it as he thinks back to a few hours earlier; Penny had asked him to take her out to dinner as she was feeling cooped up in the penthouse, so he made reservations at the Pink Flamingo. They shared a nice meal, and when they got home, she kissed him and told him that she needed him; he had just finished telling her that he would do anything for her, and one thing led to another, and they had sex. Penny is now sleeping, and Cory is struggling with the fact that he cheated on Robin.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into?" he asks himself in a whisper as he takes another sip of his scotch. "Penny is now going to think that we are together because I haven't had the heart to tell her that I'm back with Robin."

He moves closer to the mantel over the fireplace and picks up a picture of him and Robin. "And my beautiful Robin," he looks at the picture. "You're going to be devastated if you find out that I slept with Penny."

He sighs as he sets the picture frame back down. "What am I going to do? How am I going to get out this without hurting one, or both, of these women in my life?"

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

Logan is walking through the hallway of the Richardson estate when he sees a light on in the living room. He was about to head up to bed, but now he is curious to see who is awake because he might be able to find out what happened in court with Lukas and Donovan. When he enters the living room, he sees his mother about to pour herself a drink at the bar.

"Mom, you're still awake," Logan says as he moves into the living room.

"Yes, I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd have one more nightcap and then try to get some rest," Meggan tells him as she pours herself a vodka-soda. "You're getting home late, is everything okay?"

"Yea, everything is fine," Logan tells her. "I was hanging out with Sophie after we got back from seeing Frederick, but she wanted to head to the courtroom to see what happened. Have you heard from Lukas or Donovan yet?"

"I haven't," Megan admits to him. "But if they lose Olly, they are going to be devastated."

"I know, I hope it all turns out."

"What did you make of the visit to see Frederick?" Meggan asks him as she takes a sip of her drink.

Logan uneasily shrugs back to her. "I mean, I thought it was nice, it was good," Logan tells her. "I don't know, I don't know the man, but he seemed nice."

"Nice?" Meggan huffs back at him. "He made me think that I killed a child for years, Logan. He is not a nice man!"

"I know your history with your father," Logan reminds her. "But you asked me about my opinion about the visit and I am giving it to you. My feelings are valid."

"Yes, yes," Meggan waves her free hand in the air before she takes another sip of her drink. "I need you to something for me, Logan, and I am very serious about this."

"What?"

"Stay away from your grandfather," Meggan warns him. "I don't care if he asks you to visit him again, I need you stay as far away from Frederick has possible, and there are no exceptions to this, Logan. For your safety, and the safety of this entire family, please don't go see that man again."

The Calimo Mansion

"You can't stop looking at baby Bobby," Madeline grins over to Robbie as they sit next to one another in the living room of the Calimo mansion. Earlier in the evening, Madeline showed up on Robbie's doorstep and shocked by revealing that she left town because she was pregnant with his child; she ended up giving birth prematurely, and once she and the baby were given a clean bill of health, she came back to town to tell him about their son, whom she named Bobby after Robbie's father, Bob.

"I'm in awe that I am a father," Robbie admits back to her. "My head is spinning; after so many near chances with Kim and I, I never thought this day would happen."

Madeline chuckles back to him. "I am glad that this was a pleasant surprise," she tells him. "The truth is, I was nervous because of your history with Kim."

"Of course, this is a good surprise," Robbie grins back to her. "I was worried about you when you left town, but this, this explains everything."

"I am sorry that I worried you and that I didn't tell you about this sooner," Madeline says. "But now that I'm back, I guess we have some decisions to make about what we are going to do?"

"Tomorrow is Shane and Natasha's wedding, let me get through that day, Maddie, and then yes, we can talk about what our future looks like," Robbie tells her before he turns his attention back to his son, who is still fast asleep.

Twin Peaks Law Courts

The courtroom is slowly emptying out following the Judge's decision to give custody of Sonny to Max; Ethan, Abby, Lukas, Donovan, Josh, Cassie, and Lois have all departed, all rattled by the decision. Max is finishing collecting his things and is feeling like he is on cloud nine; he almost can't believe that he won the case. He knew that he and Lois put together a strong front, but he still thought that Abby, or Lukas and Donovan would win the case in the end.

"I got here just in time to hear the ruling," a voice calls out from behind Max, who turns and sees Sophie standing behind him. "You must be thrilled, congratulations."

"Soph, thanks," Max grins back to her. "I didn't realize you were here."

"I thought I should come and try to support you," Sophie admits to him as she moves a piece of her hair behind her hear. "How are you feeling? Or do I even have to ask?"

Max chuckles back to her. "I can't believe it," he admits to her. "Part of me is in shock, but I am thrilled that I'm going to get the chance to raise my little boy, the little boy I didn't even know I had."

Sophie smiles back to him. "I am happy for you….but…"

"But? But what? What are you thinking about, Sophie?"

"Us," she admits to him. "Now that you're a father, where does that leave you and me?"

Max runs his hands through his hair before he looks back at her. "I…I don't know," he admits to her. "Everything has happened so quickly, I haven't had time to process this yet."

"I see."

"You know that I care for you, right?" he asks her as she nods back to him. "That hasn't changed, Sophie. But, if I am honest, my main focus, my main priority, has to be my son and helping him with this adjustment. The next few weeks, months, are going to be very tough for him. I…I hope you understand that."

Sophie closes her eyes for a moment and recalls kissing Logan the day that they got so drunk that they can't remember having sex with one another. When she opens her eyes she sees her lover standing before her. "Of course, I understand that," she tells him as she wonders if she has already lost her first true love.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I know you two are freaking out right now about the paternity of Albertinah," Daisy passes Chris and Trenyce a coffee from the hospital cafeteria. She knows that earlier in the evening, Stephanie revealed that Albertinah required another bone marrow transplant as her aplastic anemia returned, but she also said that she discovered that there is no way that Chris could be her father. Andrew, who donated previously to help Albertinah, volunteered to donate again, and Stephanie has prepared him for the transplant. "But right now, the main focus needs to be on getting Tinah healthy again."

"I agree with that," Trenyce nods back to her Aunt. "I just hope that we hear back from Stephanie soon about the transplant. I need to know that our daughter is okay."

"Only she's not my daughter!" Chris huffs back to her. "Accordingly to Stephanie, there is no way that I am her father! You know what that means, right? Andrew is her father!"

"Look, I don't think now is the time to get worked up about this," Daisy tells him quickly. "We ran that DNA test, right? So there has to be more of an explanation as to what happened. Maybe Stephanie is wrong?"

"Daisy is right," Trenyce puts her hand on Chris' knee, but she can feel the chilly reception from him. "We have to focus on Tinah getting better; once we know she's out of the woods, we can figure out what happened. Please Chris, let's just focus on our daughter getting better."

Before Chris can respond, Stephanie comes into the waiting room. "The transplant is complete," she announces to everyone. "It seems to have been a success."

"Thank God," Trenyce breathes a sigh of relief. "Can we see Tinah?"

"Both Tinah and Andrew are resting," Stephanie replies to her. "I suggest you three get some rest and come back tomorrow, where you can see both of them. And then we can try to figure out what happened here and how we can prevent this from happening again."

"That's not all we will figure out," Chris whispers to himself feeling his blood boil at the thought of Andrew being the father of his daughter. "I need the truth, once and for all."
