The Calimo Mansion


The living room of the Calimo mansion has been transformed into the venue of the upcoming wedding between Shane and Natasha. While there have been a few weddings at the mansion in the past, everyone is hoping that this wedding goes off without a hitch, which doesn't always happen in Twin Peaks.

Cheresa sits in one of the chairs as she bounces her left leg up and down quickly as she is nervous. She was supposed to meet Dawn at the mansion for the wedding, but her girlfriend has yet to show up.

Normally, Cheresa wouldn't be concerned but considering all of the threatening messages that Dawn has been receiving lately, Chersea is worried that something bad might have happened to Dawn, especially since they had thought that Chantel might be the one to have been sending the messages, however, Dawn just received another message the other day, which proves that Chantel couldn't be the one to send the messages as Simona found Chantel's foot in her car, which proves that she was murdered.

"Come on Dawn, where are you?" Cheresa asks herself quickly as she looks at her phone and still doesn't see a new message from Dawn. "Please answer me and let me know that you're safe."

In the rose garden, Will slowly walks and admires the large pink flowers that surround him. He isn't often at the mansion, but he can't help but be in awe of the wealth that the Calimo's have; the gardens are just an extension of that as they are always well manicured. While he walks, he can't help but wonder what is he going to do with the fact that he learned that Paige is pregnant with his child; he can't believe that she was keeping this from him as he feels like he has every right to know that she is carrying his child. Paige claimed that she didn't know what she was going to do about the baby yet, which concerns him because he feels like she is going to make a decision without his input.

"Will, what are you doing out here?" Eva asks him as she comes up to him, having seen her former lover walking by himself. "The wedding is about to start, you should come inside."

"Ah, thanks," Will looks back at her. "I guess I lost track of time as I was thinking."

Eva arches her eyebrow. "Are you okay? You don't seem like yourself at all?"

"I'm not," Will admits to her. "I…I feel like my entire future is up in the air, and I have no idea what I am going to do about it."

"You're scaring me Will," Eva says back to him. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Will forces a smile on his face. "Maybe another time, we have to get inside for the wedding."

"Okay, I hope it all works out, Will, I really do," Eva tells him as they start to walk back to the mansion.

***

Inside the living room, the remaining guests take their seats and Shane stands at the front of the room, with Jacob next to him. Jacob quickly fixes his father's bowtie with a smile on his face.

"You look very handsome, Dad," Jacob smiles back to him.

"Thanks son, I wouldn't want anyone else standing up next to me while I marry your mother," Shane replies to him. "I'm proud of you, son."

Jacob smiles back to him as the wedding music starts to play and Sophie starts to walk down the aisle. Once Sophie reaches the altar, she hugs Shane before she takes her place. Natasha, then, emerges at the back of the room in a simple white dress, since it's not her first time getting married. The guests stand as she prepares to walk down the aisle.

Meanwhile, in the foyer of the mansion, the front door opens and a mysterious person moves into the house, quickly making a beeline towards the living room, where the wedding is unfolding.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"The good news is that Albertinah's vitals are coming back to normal," Stephanie explains to Chris and Trenyce as they stand in the small hospital room, where Albertinah is fast asleep. The previous evening Andrew donated more bone marrow to the young girl as her aplastic anemia returned; they are feeling grateful that Trenyce was able to get Albertinah to the hospital so quickly when she realized that she had a fever, and that Andrew was there donate again as this was the second time that Tinah needed a transplant. "I am expecting her to make a full recovery."

"Thank God," Trenyce breathes a sigh of relief as she looks over at Chris. "That is what we were praying for. How is Andrew this morning?"

"He is also doing fine," Stephanie replies to her. "He will be discharged later today."

"I guess this is all good news," Chris says back to her doctor. "But I have to tell you doctor, what is troubling to me is that you claimed yesterday that I couldn't be Tinah's father. Is that still true?"

Stephanie uneasily nods back to him. "I'm afraid so," she tells him. "I know that you all just had a DNA test, and I can't explain that test result, but what I can tell you is that there is no DNA evidence that you're her father; it would be impossible."

Chris shakes his head back to her. "Then I need to know," he says before he looks at Trenyce. "How did this happen? And if I'm not the father, does that mean that Andrew is her father? Did Andrew father Albertinah?"

The Lawson Estate; Cheresa, Abby, Ethan, & Georgina's Home

"Abby, I need you calm down, please," Ethan moves up to his lover and puts his arms on her shoulders. He knows that Abby is spiraling out of control because the Judge ruled in Max's favor to get custody of Sonny; he was just shocked by her because she revealed to him that she wanted to go to the Richardson Estate, kidnap her son, and go on the run with her children and she asked him if he wanted to go with her. "Taking Sonny and Georgina and going on the run, that is not a good idea. What kind of life would you be giving your children? One where you're always looking over your shoulder, wondering if the police were going to find you?"

Abby takes a deep breath as she tries to calm herself down, but she finds more tears filling her eyes. "You don't understand," she gasps for air. "Sonny is my son, Ethan! I gave birth to him! I've lost so many years with him already…he's almost 5 years old…I…I can't lose him again."

"Listen to me," Ethan tries to calm her down. "You haven't lost him, not really. So, he's not living with you, that's not the end of the world. Max will be able to give you visits with him, and maybe in time, once things have settled, you could share custody. That won't happen if you run away with him, Abby. They will file kidnapping charges against you. Please, please tell me that I'm getting through to you!?"

"I told you before," she locks eyes with him. "Either you can come with me, or you can stay here, but I have to do this, Ethan. I…I have to be with my son, there is no other choice."

Abby turns and rushes towards the door. "Abby, where are you going? Abby, wait, please!"

Abby turns and faces him at the doorway. "I'm going to get my son," she tells him as he rushes towards her to follow her, hoping that he can still convince her that this is a horrible idea.

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

Lukas gulps heavily when he opens the front door to the Richardson estate and sees Max standing on the other side. Behind him is Donovan, as they were just packing bags as they had planned to take Olly out of the control so they can keep raising their son.

"Max, what are you doing here?" Lukas asks him as Max moves into the foyer.

"Isn't it obvious?" Max replies to him quickly. "I'm here to get my son; I am going to take my son home with me and start raising him, just as the Judge ruled yesterday."

"You can't just show up here and demand our son," Donovan crosses his arms over his chest. "We still have the right to say goodbye in time; we haven't even had the chance to tell Olly what has happened, Max."

"I can tell Sonny," Max says back to him.

"His name is Olly," Lukas grits his teeth together. "You can't just walk in here and start calling him by another name! You are going to confuse him, Max. And, he has no idea who the hell you are! No, this is happening way too quickly. You can leave and come back once we've had the chance to explain what is happening to our son!"

Max shakes his head back to him quickly. "I'm not leaving," Max looks back at him. "Not without my son. So, go get Sonny, and we can tell him together what is happening. I can help him understand all of this."

"Get out of my house," Lukas spits back to him.

"I told you," Max moves closer to him. "I'm not going anywhere, not without my son!"
