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

Penny looks around the living room of the penthouse and smiles to herself. She, almost, can't believe that she can see again. For months, she was left blind after an accident at the Calimo mansion where she hit her head and fell into a coma, but after she got Cory to make love to her, her vision has returned. She realizes, however, that she can use the situation to her advantage.

"I didn't tell Cory that I got my sight back," she whispers to herself as she moves to the bar and makes herself a gin and tonic. "I will keep it to myself until he is back with me full time. Making love to him, that was just the first step."

She takes a long sip of her drink as she knows that Cory is still seeing Robin, which upsets her. It is why she took action and seduced him the night of their dinner date at the Pink Flamingo. She wanted to remind him of what they had together; she just hopes that he can't help but think about her and their sex together.

"The next step," she tells herself. "Is for Robin to see us together, somehow, some way. I…I need Robin to realize that Cory and I are closer than ever before. If she gets jealous, she will be upset with Cory, and I can create more tension between them."

She takes another sip of her gin. "I won't stop until Cory is back with me," she says. "We belong together, I know we do."

Caldwell's Mountain & Ski Resort - The Enchanted Woods

Dawn looks up into the sky with her large sunglasses as some birds fly above her. She takes a deep breath as she moves towards the vehicle that has yellow police tape around it. She knows that the car belonged too Chantel, and when Simona was here, she discovered a foot in the back of the vehicle. DNA testing confirmed that the foot belonged to Chantel, which is why Simona believes that Chantel was murdered by the person that broke into her apartment.

As she gets closer to the car, she can't help but think about how she believed Chantel was the person behind the threatening text messages that she has been receiving. Dawn suspected this because Cheresa reunited with her, instead of pursuing a romance with Chantel. Dawn believed that Chantel was jolted by Cheresa's decision and started to threaten her.

"Despite everything that has happened," Dawn says as she puts her hand over the yellow tap and rests it on the car. "I never wanted this to happen to you, Chantel."

Dawn puts a bouquet of flowers on the hood of the car and puts her head down to say a quick prayer.

"I hope, wherever you are, you're at peace," Dawn says as she looks at the vehicle. "And I certainly hope, whatever happened to you, that it wasn't too painful. The truth is, I thought you were the one behind the messages, but…I don't know now. I…I just want this to end."

Dawn takes a deep breath before she looks at the vehicle. "I…I should get going…but I wanted you to know that I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry, Chantel."

The Sugarbowl

Bryce moves into the coffeehouse and quickly orders an iced latte before he looks at the back booth and sees Leah sitting with an iced tea in front of her. He doesn't often reach out to his mother, but after his most recent visit with Frederick, he knew he had to see her.

"Thanks for agreeing to see me," Bryce says as he sits across from his mother. "How's your day?"

"Slow," Leah chuckles to him. "Since I left Robertson Enterprises, I have found myself having a lot more time on my hands."

Bryce chuckles with her. "I can only imagine. Has Tyler been able to uncover anything on that front? Like, that Victoria was responsible?"

"I'm afraid not," Leah shakes her head to him. "I still suspect, strongly, that Victoria was behind it, but there is no evidence."

"Well, considering I am not on the best terms with Victoria, I don't think that I can help try to get the truth from her," Bryce sighs back to her.

"That's fine," Leah tells him. "I appreciate you wanting to help. But I am curious, Bryce, what was this meeting all about? Have you thought about my request? You could help me get Felicia away from Frederick."

Bryce gulps before he takes a sip of his drink. "I have thought about it, yes."

"And? What have you decided?"

"I will help you," Bryce reveals to her as Leah gets a grin on her face. "I will help you get Felicia away from Frederick."

Robertson Enterprises

The elevator ride up to the twentieth floor is quiet with Jeff and Victoria standing next to one another. Earlier in the day, he showed up at her condo and they had sex, again. It is the second time that they slept together, despite him being in a relationship with Leah, and her marriage to Bryce is not being finalized. They know that this affair between will add a lot of complication to their worlds.

"We are late for our meeting with Tyler," Victoria says finally breaking the silence between them, as she looks at her watch. "We need to come up with a story as to why."

"I guess telling him what we were up too is out of the question?" he chuckles back to her.

"Very funny," she winks back to him. "Jeff, I…I have to say something to you."

He turns to her and faces her. "What? You want me to make love to you in the elevator?"

She chuckles again. "No!" she says back to him quickly. "I mean, that sounds tempting, but this…affair…I…"

"You're enjoying it?" he finishes her sentence. "Because I am."

"I am too," Victoria admits to him. "I'm sure you can tell when we are together how much I am enjoying it."

"I have noticed," he nods to her. "I am too."

"But the thing is," she says back to him. "If anyone found out about us, all hell would break loose. Leah, she already hates me, and Bryce…he's your son."

"I know, I've thought of that," Jeff admits to her. "We are in a tough situation, I guess. Cause…I…I don't want us to stop."

"Neither do I," she tells him. "At first, I thought it was wrong, but I want you more. We…we just have to keep it a secret. This thing between us, we have to keep it between us."

Jeff leans over and kisses her on the lips. "I can do that," he says as their lips part. "I can't wait to be with you again."

"Me either," she purrs back to him. "Now, what will tell Tyler?"

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

The tension between Donovan, Lukas, and Max is thick as they stand in the foyer of the Richardson estate as Max has arrived and has demanded that he take Olly/Sonny home with him, since the Judge ruled that he got full custody of the boy. Donovan and Lukas have told Max that they need more time since they believe telling the small child the truth will just confuse him.

"I'm not backing down about this guys," Max tells the men as he folds his arms over his chest. "I am not leaving here without my son; the Judge ruled that I get custody of Sonny."

Donovan shakes his head back in disgust, annoyed that Max isn't seemingly listening to them. "You don't get it, do you? You come barging in here, demanding our son, it's not going to work. He's 5 years old, Max. For 5 years, we are the only parents he's known! You aren't even calling him by his name! He has no fucking clue who Sonny is!"

"I can call him Olly," Max replies to him. "But I'm not leaving here without my son. So, this will go down two ways; one, we talk to him together, as adults and explain what's happened, or two, I go get him, and he leaves with me without any words from you two. What's it going to be?"

"You're a smug son of a bitch," Lukas hisses back to him. "You have no idea what it takes to be a father!"

Before anyone can say anything else, the front door opens and Abby stumbles into the room, with Ethan following her.

"Abby?" Max asks her in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I…" she starts to say as she catches her breath. "I need Sonny…I don't care what the Judge said, I need my son, and I'm not leaving here without him!"

The Calimo Mansion

Cassie opens her phone screen and types into the Google search bar, "Dr. Stephanie Clarke," and pushes send. She then turns and sees Natasha walking down the aisle, as she is about to marry Shane. Since she is in the front row, her phone screen faces Shane, and Jacob, who are watching Natasha come down the aisle.

Jacob happens to see Cassie's phone and squints at it, hoping to see what it says. He can see the images of Stephanie appear on her screen, so he realizes that Cassie is looking into Stephanie, for some reason.

"What the hell is she doing?" he asks himself quickly, before he sees his mother reaching the altar. "I will have to ask her later, my main focus is on the wedding."

Shane kisses Natasha's cheek once she arrives at the altar. Natasha, then, turns and gives Sophie her bouquet, before the minister clears his throat.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of this man, Shane Glubbs, and this woman, Natasha Calimo, in holy matrimony. Before we continue," he continues to say as Shane and Natasha smile at one another. "Is there anyone here that has just reason for these two not to be joined in this union?"

"I have something to say," a voice calls out at the back of the room. Shane and Natasha look and gasp when they see Louie standing there. "Long time, son, aren't you going to say hello to your father?"
