The Victors Mansion; Frederick & Felicia's Home


Dominick and Leah continue to slowly, sneak up the stairs of the Victors mansion. They just arrived at the mansion to get Felicia away from Frederick while Bryce keeps his grandfather distracted. They had been working on formulating a plan for weeks now and they are just hopeful that they are able to execute and get Felicia out of the mansion. They both believe that without being around Frederick, Felicia would realize that she doesn't want to be married to him and they can start the divorce proceedings.

"This is Felicia's room," Dominick whispers to his daughter as they reach the base of the second floor. "She is likely in there. We…we just have to convince her to leave with us."

"That doesn't sound too hard," Leah replies to him. "I can't believe she would want to stay here."

They move towards the door and open it slowly, immediately seeing Felicia sitting at her desk with her diary in front of her. Felicia turns her head and gets a huge smile on her face at the sight of Leah and Dominick.

"Oh! You're here!" Felicia gasps in excitement.

"Please," Dominick puts his hands up in the air. "Keep your voice down, we…we don't want to alarm Frederick that we are here."

"Why? What is this all about?" Felicia asks him back in confusion.

"We are here to take you home with us," Leah explains to her as Felicia gasps in surprise. "You're coming home with us today!"

Robertson Enterprises

Tyler sits behind his desk at Robertson Enterprises and has a grin on his face as he looks over at the sofa. He recalls how the previous day, Kim arrived at the office and they ended up making love to one another. He, almost, can't believe that after all these years, he and Kim are as close as they are together again. That being said, he isn't complaining because he has been in love with her for years.

"It's time that I show her just how much she means to me," he whispers to himself. "I…I need to do something to prove to her that I am in love with her and I never want to be without her again."

He picks up his cell phone, which the background is a picture of him and Kim, and dials a number. "Hi, it's Tyler," he says quickly. "I…I need your help with something and it is urgent."

The Calimo Mansion

"I am sorry that things are tense between you and Shane," Robbie tells his sister as he pours himself a glass of wine from the bar in the living room of the Calimo mansion. Earlier, Natasha had tried to host a dinner to bring her broken family back together but it ended in disaster because Shane is still blaming her for bringing Louie back into their lives.

"Oh thanks," Natasha sighs back to him before she takes a sip of her own wine. "I am sure that with time, Shane will realize that everything that has happened is not my fault."

"What do you think will happen between him and Louie now?"

Natasha shrugs back to her brother. "I suggested that Shane speak to his father," she reveals to him. "Whether or not he takes my advice remains to be seen, but I believe that they can probably get to some type of common ground; I mean, they are still father and son."

"Just brace yourself Nat," Robbie cautions her. "They've been estranged for years. This might not be as easy as you think it is."

"I appreciate your support regardless," Natasha smiles back to him. "Now, how is that beautiful little nephew of mine?"

"He is growing so quickly," Robbie shakes his head back in amazement. "I'm still in shock; I never expected Madeline to return to Twin Peaks and reveal that she had my child. I…I am glad that she's back, but it's been a lot to take in."

"I can only imagine," Natasha tells him. "How is Madeline, by the way? She is settling into motherhood?"

Robbie uneasily gulps back to her as he knows that Madeline has been having a difficult time connecting with Bobby; she has indicated that she might be suffering with postpartum.

"I think she's still struggling," he admits to her. "But I have faith that she will get there; I mean, she has too, right? She's going to be a mother for the rest of her life."

"Stay on top of it," Natasha says back to him. "Because if she does have any kind of postpartum, it can go sideways quickly."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Shane and Louie continue to face one another at the bar in the restaurant as their heated confrontation continues. Shane was just about to walk away and Louie commented that Shane is doing what he always does: run away.

"I don't know what you want from me," Shane huffs back to his father. "You want to get some kind of revenge on me for something that I didn't do!"

"You're right, I want nothing from you," Louie spits back to him. "You, Derek, you've been dead to me for years; ever since you ran away from taking any accountability for your mother's death."

"Because it was an accident!" Shane tries not to shout since they are in public space. "You need to deal with this delusion that you're living in!"

"I'm going to order another drink, and I'd like to have it in peace, Derek."

"Fine, I'll leave," Shane huffs back at him. "But so should you, Louie. You should leave Twin Peaks, go back to Detroit, and never come back, because we will never have a relationship."

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

"It was nice that Robin stopped by to say goodbye to you," Cory tells Penny, who brings a suitcase out of her bedroom and moves into the living room of the penthouse. Penny, who has decided to return to her farm, was paid a visit by Robin earlier in the day. Penny happened to mention that she and Cory had one more evening together, but she was able to cover with Robin when she was questioned by her about it.

"She really supported me when I couldn't see," Penny replies to him. "And so yes, I agree it was nice that she stopped by to say goodbye."

"Are you absolutely positive that going back to the farm is the best thing for you?" Cory asks her, knowing that the farm is very far away from Twin Peaks.

Penny uneasily nods back to him. "This is something that I need to do," Penny says back to him. "The space and time away from you and Robin, it will be good for me, Cory. You…you recently asked me you think we could be friends one day, and being having time away from you to get over will help me get to that point."

"Okay," Cory looks back at her. "For what it's worth, I am sorry that I hurt you, Pen. You mean a lot to me."

Penny feels her eyes swell with water. "I know that," she tells him. "Robin is a very lucky woman."

With that, Penny moves up to him and kisses him softly on the lips. When they part she looks back at her suitcase. "I need to get to the airport," she tells him. "I'll let you know when I get settled at the farm."

"Travel safe, and please, keep in touch," Cory tells her as Penny turns and walks out of the penthouse.

Outside the penthouse, Penny pauses and closes her eyes for a moment. A single tear falls down her cheek as she thinks about leaving Cory and Twin Peaks. She puts her hand on her stomach and gets a sly grin on her face, before she picks up her bags and starts to leave, eager to get back to her familiar settings.

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

"I am sorry that interrupted you and Sergio, but this is important," Lukas tells Donovan, who is pouring himself a drink at the bar. When Lukas arrived, Donovan and Sergio were in the middle of a heated conversation, which he didn't know what he was interrupting, but he needed to speak to his estranged husband.

"Sergio agreed to go for a quick walk while we talk," Donovan replies to him. He is grateful for break because Sergio had just confronted him about sleeping with Lukas in the middle of the custody trial. Sergio demanded answers, and Donovan was taken aback that he found out about their love making session. In Donovan's mind, he knows that he and Lukas just got caught up in the moment. "What's going on with you?"

"I've made a decision," Lukas uneasily looks back at him. "I'm…I'm leaving Twin Peaks."

"What?" Donovan gasps back at him in shock. "What brought this on?"

"Do you even have to ask?" Lukas asks him with a chuckle. "Losing our son has really hit me in a very hard way. I…I was with Clayton and he suggested we leave together, so we are going to leave and try to have a normal relationship."

"I…I don't know what to say," Donovan admits to him. "This place, it won't be the same without you, Lukas. And we've been through so much together."

"I think the space will be good for us," Lukas moves closer to his estranged husband. "But, I will miss you, Donovan. Despite everything that happened between us, I still care about you and wish you the best."

Donovan pulls him into a hug. "Thanks Lukas, and keep in touch, okay?"

"I will," Lukas smiles back to him as they exit their embrace.

The Sugarbowl

Sophie sits at the window bar with an herbal tea in front of her. Her mind is racing over the fact that she her mother's dinner party ended in disaster because Shane lashed out at Natasha for her role in brining Louie back to their lives. If Sophie is honest with herself, however, she was already struggling because she is pregnant with Logan's baby but she hasn't had the time to tell him yet because every time she has tried too, he has been drinking. It escalated to the point where Sophie asked Logan if he has an issue with alcohol, which he was startled by.

"I do have to find time to tell him about this baby," she whispers to herself. "Because he or she will be here before we know it."

She turns her head when she hears the door to the coffeehouse open and Meggan appears. Sophie arches her eyebrow when she sees how upset Meggan appears to be. She waves her hand at Meggan, who moves over towards her.

"Hey, are you okay?" Sophie asks Meggan as arrives at the window bar. "You look upset."

"I guess I am," Meggan admits to her as she sits next to her. "I…I just found out that my brother, Lukas, is leaving town. I wasn't expecting this at all."

"Oh wow, I am so sorry to hear that," Sophie replies to her. "I know how close you and Lukas are. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Meggan looks back at her. "Actually, maybe there is," she tells her. "I…I was thinking of heading to the Calimo cabin for a while, just to get away. Would you want to come with me? I could use the company, and if you're there, maybe Logan would want to come?"

"Logan? At the cabin?" Sophie asks her quickly as Meggan nods back to her. Immediately, Sophie realizes that this could be a golden chance for her to tell Logan about the baby; being alone with him at the cabin means that she would have many opportunities to share the news with him. "Let me clear my work schedule and then, yes, I'd be happy to join you, Meggan. And let's hope Logan can join us as well."

The Tower's; Floor Eight; Victoria's Condo

"Our meeting with Trenyce earlier went very well," Victoria tells Jeff as she moves into the living room of her condo and passes him a glass of wine. "I think we are headed in the right direction with our launch."

"I couldn't agree more," Jeff chuckles back to her as he accepts the wine. "We should have a toast; to us?"

"To us?" Victoria asks him with an arched eyebrow. "Is there an us to toast, Jeff?"

"I'd like to think so," Jeff continues to chuck. "I'm here pretty often, am I not?"

"Yes, you certainly are," Victoria takes a sip of her wine. "And I enjoy our time together, but at the end of the day, you're still with Leah. Even tonight, does she know that you're here with me?"

"As I told you, Leah and I have grown further apart," Jeff reminds her of their past conversations. "She is busy with Dominick working on something, as a matter of fact."

"I just want to make sure that you know what you're doing," Victoria admits to him. "It feels like we are getting closer every day, and I don't want you to regret that."

"I don't regret anything," Jeff tells her as he leans in and kisses her. "This is where I want to be, Victoria. You and I, we are making a great team, and I think that should continue."

"Good, because I agree," Victoria licks her lips and then kisses him back.

The Victors Mansion; Frederick & Felicia's Home

"You…You want me to leave the mansion with you?" a startled Felicia asks Leah and Dominick. "But…but why? Frederick and I are married…"

"Yes, we understand that," Dominick replies to her quickly. "But we believe that Frederick is up to something, Felicia. In…in your right frame of mind, you never would have married that man!"

"What Dominick is trying to say," Leah looks at her mother. "Your family, we miss you; we want you close with us, even just for a little while. What do you say?"

"I…I have told Frederick how much I miss you all," Felicia tells them. "So, yes, I will come with you, even if it's just for a short while."

"Great, let's go," Dominick looks back at her. "And remember, we have to be quiet; we can't let Frederick know what has happened because he will try to stop us."

"We can be quiet," Felicia tells them. "In fact, I know the back exit that we can use. Come on, let's go spend some time together….as a family."
