The Victors Mansion; Frederick & Felicia's Home

"Are you sure about this, Lukas? You really want to leave Twin Peaks?" a stunned Meggan asks her brother as she faces Lukas in the living room of the Victors mansion, while Logan and Frederick stand nearby. Lukas, after talking to Clayton, has decided to leave Twin Peaks, and now, he is telling his family about his decision. He only wanted to make the announcement once, which is why they are all together.

"I can understand that this might have been a surprise," Lukas reveals to Meggan. "But after losing my marriage and my son, I…I feel like a fresh start would be good for me."

"Have you told Donovan or Olly about this yet?" Logan asks his uncle before he looks over at Frederick.

"They are my next stops," Lukas admits to his family. "I wanted to tell you three first about my decision."

"I can't imagine the heartache you and Donovan are going through after that Judge agreed to give Max custody of your son," Frederick sighs back to his son. "I can understand your desire to get away."

"Thanks," Lukas nods back to him. "Meg, you okay?"

Meggan turns to him with tears in her eyes. "I…I don't know how I'm going to manage without you, Lukas. You're…you're my best friend."

Lukas pulls his sister into a hug. "I will still be," he holds his sister close. "We can talk every day."

"It won't be the same."

"No, it won't be," Lukas tells her as they exit their embrace. "But I need to do this, I really need this escape Meggan."

"I'm going to miss you," Meggan says back to him. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, sis," Lukas smiles back to her as he feels his eyes swell with water.

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

Donovan looks at the screen of his phone with an arched eyebrow. He can see the text message from Lukas asking him to meet with him in an hour or so. He has no idea what his estranged husband wants to talk about, but he hopes that they can, finally, start putting the nightmare of the custody case behind them.

"You're here, good, we need to talk," Sergio announces to his lover as he moves into the living room. "And sorry, the door was open, so I let myself in."

"Hey you," Donovan smiles back to him as he moves closer to him. "I was just thinking about you."

"Good thoughts, I hope?" Sergio asks him quickly.

"Always babe," Donovan winks back to him. "What brings you by? You wanted to talk?"

"I happened to overhear a conversation between Lukas and Clayton," Sergio folds his arms over his muscular chest. "Lukas admitted something to Clayton, something that I didn't know about."

Donovan arches his eyebrow back to him. "Okay? What did Lukas admit to Clayton?"

"That you two slept together during the custody trial," Sergio reveals to him as Donovan looks back at him in surprise. "You and your estranged husband had sex and you didn't think to tell me?"

"I…I can explain…"

"You damn well better start explaining," Sergio grits his teeth back to him. "What the hell is going on with you? And where does that leave us?"

The Sugarbowl

Chris sits in the back booth with a coffee in front of him. He was trying to do some work, but his mind continues to go back to the fact that Andrew has been revealed to be Albertinah's father; he can't wrap his head around the fact that when they did a DNA test, is stated that Chris was the father. He wishes he understood how that DNA test was so wrong; had he known the truth sooner, he could have started to process this. Now, he feels like he is at square one and in a world of hurt, confusion, and he doesn't know how he will move on from this.

"You look a million miles away," Daisy says as she approaches the booth and sits across from Chris. "Let me guess, you're thinking about Tinah?"

Chris sighs heavily back to her. "You know me too well," he says with a chuckle. "This is such a mess, you know?"

"I get it," Daisy nods back to him. "Have you seen Trenyce or the kids since you moved out?"

"I did," Chris tells her. "Andrew was with them, and they seemed to be having a good time."

"And that upset you?" Daisy asks him as he looks back at her. "I understand why it would, but you're still the only father that Tinah has known. Don't stay away from her for too long."

"I just wish I understood how that damn DNA test was so wrong," Chris shakes his head back to her as Daisy gulps, knowing that she altered the test. "We all could be dealing with this weeks ago if that test told us the truth."

"I am so sorry," Daisy whispers back to him as Chris looks at her in surprise.

"Sorry?" Chris asks her in confusion. "Why are you sorry, Daisy? What could have done about the DNA test?"

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


Cheresa walks down the stairs in the Lawson estate with her mind racing over the fact that she just found another cell phone in Dawn's nightstand. She has no idea why her girlfriend would have a second phone, but it is the latest of bizarre things that have happened lately. She moves into the living room and sees Dawn about to pour herself a glass of water.

"There you are," Cheresa announces to her. "Where did you go?"

"Uh, for a walk?" Dawn looks back at her in surprise. "Is everything okay? You look upset."

"We came home from lunch and you went to have a nap," Cheresa reminds her of what happened. "When I went to check on you, the window in the bedroom was wide open and you were gone. I…I was worried about you, especially since you didn't answer any of my calls or texts."

"I am sorry," Dawn uneasily gulps back to her. "I ended up going for a walk and I forgot to tell you; and I must have my phone turned off. I didn't mean to worry you, especially with the threatening messages that I have been receiving."

"I was worried," Cheresa admits to her. "And then I found this."

Cheresa pulls the second phone from her pocket and shows it to Dawn, who feels her heart rate start to pick up. "You have a second phone, Dawn. Why? What is the purpose of having this phone? And why were you hiding it from me?"

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

"Cory told me about the wonderful news about your sight," Robin smiles to Penny as they face one another in the living room of the penthouse. Robin wanted to come see Penny after Cory told her about vision coming back and Penny's decision to go back to her farm after Cory told her that he was still in love with Robin. "How are you feeling?"

"I am feeling fantastic," Penny admits to her. "I am just so grateful that my sight has come back; living without vision was very taxing."

"You know that I know exactly what you're going through," Robin chuckles back to her. "I am relieved that this has happened for you, Penny. I really am."

"Thanks Robin," Penny replies to Robin. "And I guess I should say congratulations to you; Cory, he told me that you two are back together and in love."

Robin gulps back to her. "We are, but I also know that his admission was not easy for you to hear because of your own feelings for him. We…we never meant to hurt you."

"I believe you," Penny forces a smile on her face. "But that's why I'm happy that Cory and I had our night together."

Robin feels the blood drain from her face. "What do you mean? What was your night together?"

The Cascade Apartments

"Olly hasn't come out of his room since we told him that we are his parents," Max sighs to Abby, who is sending Ethan a text message that she will be heading home soon. Earlier, Max and Abby told Olly that they are his biological parents; Olly, still thinking that Lukas and Donovan, are his parents, rushed away in confusion. Abby and Max know that they have to give the boy some time to get used to the news.

"It will take him some time to get used to all of this," Abby tells him quickly. "We did the right thing by telling him though. Now, he can try to adjust to this information."

"Thanks again for being here with me," Max looks back at her. "I think we need to be on the same page with this."

"Agreed," Abby nods back to him. "I…I will have to get going soon because Ethan wants me to spend time with Georgina."

"That makes sense, this must be so crazy for you; having a new baby and learning that our son is alive, that's a lot to handle right now."

"I will do anything I can to ensure my kids are safe and happy," Abby tells him. "That's why I have an idea."

Max arches his eyebrow back to her. "An idea? What kind of an idea?"

"Lukas and Donovan," Abby reveals to him. "We might want to call them for help with Olly; they might be the only ones to get through to him."

***

Meanwhile, in Cassie's apartment, Jacob paces back and forth as his mind is racing over the fact that Stephanie recently told him that Cassie threatened her. He knows that Cassie is protective of their marriage, but he wishes that she wouldn't have threatened his friend. Just then, Cassie opens the front door and comes into the apartment with some grocery bags in her hands.

"Let me help you with those," Jacob rushes up to her as he takes the bags from Cassie's hands.

"Thanks babe," Cassie replies to him. "You're a life saver."

"Happy to help," Jacob puts one of the bags down on the counter in the kitchen. "While we unpack, we can have a quick chat."

"Sure, what's on your mind?"

"I ran into Stephanie," Jacob admits to her as Cassie rolls her eyes. "She told me that you threatened her! What the hell were you thinking?"

"Threaten is a very strong word," Cassie replies to him. "And frankly, the way she was speaking about you, it is clear that she has more than just friendship feelings for you. I…I was just reminding her that you and I are married and that she shouldn't do anything that would risk our marriage."

"You have to trust me, Cassie," Jacob tells his wife. "I will not get involved with Stephanie!"

"I believe you," Cassie says. "But I won't apologize for reminding Stephanie that you're a married man; she clearly needed that reminder, and I was happy to give it to her."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Shane moves into the restaurant looking to grab a drink. He was going to go to bed but he found himself tossing and turning, so he came into the city to have a night cap as he didn't want to be around Natasha at the mansion. He is still curious with her for bringing Louie back into their lives; Louie stopped their wedding and demanded that Shane be arrested for killing his mother. Shane spent a couple of days in jail until Simona was able to prove that the car accident was just that - an accident. Still, Louie proclaimed that he would get back at Shane. In Shane's mind, this is all Natasha's fault for digging up his past in the first place.

Shane, then, happens to see his father sitting at the bar and finds himself moving towards him. "I am surprised that you're still in town," Shane huffs at him. "I would have thought you'd go back to Detroit after I was cleared of any wrong doings."

Louie looks over his shoulder at Shane before he returns to his whiskey sour. "You'd like that, wouldn't you? Have your old man return to Detroit so you can completely forget about your past?"

"You realize that the police cleared me of any wrong doing, right? There's nothing left for you here, Louie."

"I told you at the police station," Louie whispers back to him. "That someday, I will make you pay for what you did. You may have been cleared but that doesn't mean a single thing to me."

"You wonder why I left all those years ago and never looked back?" Shane continues to lay into him. "Think about how you're treating me! Was I the one driving the car that killed my mother, yes, I was. Do you not think that it has haunted me every day of my life? But it was an accident, Dad. The moose on the road, that's what killed her!"

"You were distracted Derek," Louie says back to him. "Had you been paying attention, you wouldn't have hit the moose and then you're mother would still be alive!"

"There's no getting through to you," Shane shrugs back to him. "You have been so obsessed with this for years that you believe your own lies! I'm done with this, I'm done with you!"

"Typical," Louie shakes his head back to him. "Keep on running son, that's all you ever do anyways."

The Victors Mansion; Frederick & Felicia's Home

"I'm sorry to hear about your son, are you sure you're okay with Lukas' decision to leave town?" Bryce asks Frederick as they stand facing one another in the living room of the Victors mansion. Frederick just told his grandson about Lukas' decision to leave town with Clayton.

"I am fine with it," Frederick nods back to him. "Lukas needs a change after losing his son, I respect that completely."

"It will still be a change for you," Bryce says back to him. "Just remember to lean on me if you need anything."

Frederick smiles back to him. "I appreciate that," he says as he notices Bryce playing with his hands. "Is everything okay? You appear nervous or something?"

"I'm fine," Bryce admits to him. "The thing is, I saw Victoria earlier, and she told me our marriage is over. I…I guess I am trying to come to terms with that."

"You know how I feel about that woman," Frederick tells him. "You can do better than Victoria Franky, Bryce."

"Thanks," Bryce nods to him. "It still sucks, you know?"

"Talk to me about it over a drink?" Frederick suggests as he moves to the bar. Bryce, quickly, looks over his shoulders and then looks back at Frederick.

"Yea, I'd like that," Bryce tells him as he moves closer to Frederick.

Meanwhile, in the foyer, Leah and Dominick enter the mansion and look at one another. "Let's go upstairs, get Felicia, and get out of here before Frederick realizes we are here," Leah whispers to Dominick. "Bryce will keep Frederick busy until we can leave."

"Okay, let's go," Dominick smiles back to her. "Let's get Felicia away from that monster."
