Dominick's Townhouse


A new day has come to Twin Peaks, and Dominick has spent the majority of it thinking about where he and Leah could take Felicia to keep her hidden from Frederick. The previous night when they got Felicia to his home, he was shocked when Eva appeared and said that she had the perfect place to take Felicia. He asked her to leave because the last person that Dominick wants help from is Eva because, in his mind, Eva is part of the reason that they were away from Felicia for so long.

"Have you thought of anything about where we can take Mom?" Leah asks her father before she finishes sending Jeff a text message. She knows that she and Jeff have been distant lately, and he is currently at the engagement party for Daisy and Andrew, but she has to make her family her priority.

"I mean, what about the winery in Santa Barbara?" Dominick turns to her and suggests. "Frederick would never think to look on his property?"

"I don't like that idea," Leah shakes her head back to him. "I think it is too easy. We have to be creative."

"Where is your mother right now?"

"She's resting," Leah informs him. "We have time to come up with a plan. That's why I called Eva; I think she can help us."

"I don't want that woman's help!" Dominick says back to her.

"Well, that's too bad," Eva announces as she arrives in the living room. "I am here to help you, Dominick, and I am not taking no for an answer."

The Calimo Cabin

"How was your nature hike?" Meggan asks Sophie, who opens the front door to the Calimo cabin and moves inside looking to get warm, as there is a lot of snow outside.

"Cold," Sophie chuckles to her as she takes her mits off and starts to take off her coat. "But the scenery this time of year is really beautiful."

"I am glad that you were safe," Meggan replies to her. "Years ago, a woman fell into a small lake, not realizing that the body of water was there."

"What? Oh my God, is she okay?"

"Do you know Trenyce Davenport?" Meggan asks her as Sophie nods back to her. "It was her, and she did survive, but it was scary."

"Thanks for telling me about that, I'll be careful if I go for another walk," Sophie tells her. "Have you heard from Logan? Do you think he'll be able to join us?"

"I tried sending a text," Meggan says back to her. "But we are out of signal service, or it's slow, so it hasn't gone through yet."

Sophie feels her heart sink as she had hoped to use the time at the cabin to tell Logan that she is pregnant with his baby. She forces a smile on her face hoping that, somehow, the text message will go through.

"Well, I guess all I can do is hope that the text goes through," Sophie says as she moves into the living room. "It would be great if Logan could be here with us."

"I couldn't agree more," Meggan smiles back to her. "Logan is the best, he would be a lot of fun here."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

The tables in the restaurant have been removed as it is the current venue for Andrew and Daisy's engagement party. At first, Daisy was skeptical of having the engagement party at the casino, since she and Andrew have a horrific history there thanks to Antonio, but Andrew convinced her that the space was large enough for their friends and family.

Jeff grabs a glass of champagne from one of the circling waiters and takes a sip of it before he looks at his cellphone screen. He can see the text message from Leah telling him that she will miss the party because she is busy with Dominick and Felicia. He sighs to himself knowing that is, another, example of how distant he and Leah have become. It is one of the main reasons why he and Victoria have become so close, and he can't help but be grateful that he has her in his life.

He looks over at the bar and sees Logan about to have another drink. The sight of his son drinking sends a shiver down his spine as he knows that Meggan has a drinking problem, and has been going on benders for months. He just hopes that Logan is watching his drinking because he doesn't want Logan to go down the same path as Meggan.

"Having a good time at the party?" Jeff asks his son as he moves up to him.

Logan looks back at his father and shrugs. "I don't know, none of my friends are here yet," he tells him. "I was hoping Sophie would be here."

"I saw Jacob, you could hang out with him?" Jeff asks him with a chuckle. "I get that you don't want to hang out with your Dad all night."

"There are worse people that I could be with," Logan smiles back to him. "Is Leah coming?"

"She's not," Jeff shakes his head back to him. "She has some family stuff going on."

"Anything I should be concerned about?"

"Nah, it will all turn out," Jeff tells him. "What about your mother?"

"I don't know," Logan admits to him. "I haven't seen her since she learned that Lukas was leaving town. I don't think she's taking the news well."

"I hope she's not drinking too much," Jeff quickly tells him. "Speaking of, how are you doing with your drinking?"

"What do you mean by that?" Logan asks him immediately. "Do you think I have a drinking problem?"

"No, I didn't say that," Jeff replies to him. "But it is a slippery slope, so just be careful."

"Don't worry Dad," Logan tells him. "I have everything under control."

***

"What a great turnout," Andrew smiles over to Daisy as he passes her a glass of champagne and then looks at his fiancé. He has enjoyed seeing so many friends and family arrive to celebrate their engagement; he wants this night to be perfect for Daisy, especially after everything they have been through the last few weeks. "So many of our friends and family are here."

"Have I thanked you for putting all of this together?" Daisy asks him with a chuckle. "It really means a lot to me that you wanted to celebrate our union."

"There is nothing more that I want other than to celebrate the woman I love," Andrew licks his lips back to her. "And after tonight, we can start planning our wedding."

Daisy giggles back to him. "I never thought I would get married again," she admits to him. "But I can't help but be head over heels in love with you."

Andrew leans in and kisses her on the lips. "Good because I love you too, and nothing, or no one will come between us."

***

Chris lurks around the party with a glass of champagne in his hand. He looks over and sees Daisy and Andrew sharing a kiss before he takes another sip of his drink. His mind is still racing over the fact that Daisy apologized to him for the DNA test that told everyone that Chris, not Andrew, was the father of Albertinah. When Chris asked her about it, Daisy covered, but Chris hasn't been able to stop thinking about it.

"Something doesn't make sense," he whispers to himself. "Daisy apologized for the DNA test; she was at the hospital the entire time…"

He takes another long sip of the champagne before he arches his eyebrow. "My God…did Daisy switch the results? Did Daisy want everyone to believe that I fathered Tinah?"

"Sorry to interrupt you two," Cheresa says as she moves up to Andrew and Daisy, causing the two love birds to stop kissing and they look back at her. "I wanted to say congratulations to you both."

"Thanks Cheresa," Andrew chuckles back to her as they hug quickly. "We appreciate that. And you and Dawn, you two could be next."

Cheresa nervously giggles back to him. "I'm not sure about that."

Daisy arches her eyebrow back to her. "Why do you say that? Is everything okay between you two?"

Cheresa sighs back to her. "It's a long story, but I'm…I'm worried about Dawn. I think something is going on with her but I have no idea what it is."

"What do you mean? What could be going on with her?" Daisy asks her next.

"I don't know, but her behaviour has been more and more odd for months," Cheresa admits to them.

Daisy quickly thinks back to seeing Dawn at the prison all those months ago. She seemed normal at the time, but a few times after Dawn saw Tara, she looked a little rattled. Daisy can't help but wonder if something happened to her at the prison. "I…I think you should talk to her about it," Daisy tells her. "Open communication is key to finding out what is going on with Dawn."

***

Natasha grabs another glass of champagne before she looks over and sees Shane doing the same thing with another waiter. She can't help but think that Shane looks incredibly dashing tonight, but she knows that he is still upset with her for bringing Louie back into their lives. The last time they saw Louie, however, he announced that he was leaving Twin Peaks and heading back to Detroit. She just hopes that now they can try to repair their fractured relationship.

"It is nice getting out of the mansion and being at a party," Natasha says as she moves up to Shane. "It's been too long since we just had some fun."

"I can agree with you on that," Shane looks back at her. "And for the record, you look beautiful tonight."

"Thank you," Natasha smiles back to him. "Can I be honest with you about something?"

"Of course," Shane replies to her.

"I am hoping that with Louie saying he is leaving town that you and I can try to get back to where we were, Shane. I…I love you, and I want us to be in a good place."

"I want that too, Nat," Shane agrees with her. "But the fact is, it will take me some time to get over this. You couldn't mind your own business about my past, and everything that has happened is a direct result of that."

"I am sorry," Natasha sighs. "I…I just wanted to know who I was marrying. I…I didn't mean for all of this to happen."

"But it has happened," Shane looks at her. "And that's what I am going to need time to get over."

***


Ethan looks around the room and happens to see Paige sitting by herself at a table. He hasn't seen much of his half-sister lately because they were trying to keep their distance after they got married when they didn't know about their relations.

"You look a million miles away," he chuckles as he sits across from her. "This is a party, you're supposed to have fun?"

"Very funny," Paige replies to him. "How have you been? I…I haven't seen you since Abby gave birth."

"You should stop by and see Georgina," Ethan says. "She's the most beautiful little girl in the world."

"I am happy for you," Paige admits to him. "Even though I don't love the mother of your child."

Ethan chuckles to her. "You and Abby do have a history."

"That's putting it mildly," Paige giggles. "There is something I should tell you."

"What's that?"

"I am pregnant too," Paige reveals to him. "I'm going to have a baby, at least I think I am."

"Whoa, I didn't know you were seeing anyone," Ethan tells her. "Congratulations?"

"Thanks," Paige uneasily smiles back to him. "I am not sure what I am going to do about the baby, to be honest. The guy and I, we aren't together anymore because he is in love with someone else."

"I am sorry to hear that," Ethan replies to her. "No matter what, you can count on me to be in your corner, Paige. Despite everything we've been through, I'd like to think we can be friends."

Donovan puts one of the canapes in his mouth before he grabs another glass of champagne from one of the waiters. He happens to see Sergio across the room and he wonders if he should approach his lover. The previous night, Sergio confronted Donovan about sleeping with Lukas during the custody case; Donovan admitted that they did sleep together, but it was because they got caught up in the moment of having a successful day in court. He, then, asked Sergio if he could forgive him, but Sergio claimed he needed some time to think about it.

"Having a good time?" Donovan asks Sergio as he moves up to him before he takes another sip of his champagne.

"I guess," Sergio chuckles to him. "I can't stay too late, I have to work tomorrow morning."

"Any fun cases going on at the station?" Donovan asks him.

"Never a full moment at Twin Peaks Police Department, that is for sure," Sergio winks back to him.

"So, uh, I was hoping we could talk?" Donovan asks him quickly. "About last night…have you given it any more thought?"

"Of course," Sergio nods back to him. "I…I understand how you and Lukas got caught up in the moment."

"Really? That's great, so you…you forgive me?"

"I didn't say that," Sergio replies to him quickly. "Because the thing that hurts, is that you lied to me about, Donovan. That's what I don't think I can get past, and I'm not sure that I ever will."

The Tower's; Floor Three; Clayton's Condo

"The car is all packed with my suitcases," Lukas tells Clayton as he moves into the living room of the condo that Clayton has been living in. They have been packing as they have agreed to leave town together; after saying their goodbyes to family, they are finally ready to embark on their adventure.

"Yea, I just have one more bag and I'll be ready too," Clayton replies to him. "Are you ready to do this? Are you ready to leave Twin Peaks?"

Lukas slowly nods back to him. "I said goodbye to Olly last night," he reveals to his lover. "That was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was also the last thing that I had to do. How about you? Are you ready?"

"More than ready," Clayton grabs his hand. "Come on, let's start our new life together."

Holding hands, the two men walk to the door and prepare to leave town to start their lives together.

Dominick's Townhouse

"Eva," Dominick stands up and looks at his former wife as he feels the blood in his veins start to boil. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I…I called her," Leah admits to her father. "Dad, we need all the help we can get with Felicia; the last thing we need is for Frederick to realize that we have her, or where we are going to go. Going to the winery or the Calimo cabin, that is all too simple."

"And that's where I come in," Eva purses her lips together. "Please, Dominick, just hear me out; I think I have the perfect place for you to hide Felicia."

"I…I don't like this," Dominick shakes his head back to her before he looks at Leah. "But you're right, we do need all the help we can get with Felicia. She is the most important person in all of this."

"Great," Eva smiles back to him. "We are going to have all pack our bags and get our passports. I'll explain everything on the way to the airport."
