The Dockside Storage Lockers

Cheresa looks up at Dawn as she remains tied to the chair in the middle of the Lawson storage locker. Dawn just revealed to Cheresa that she is the one that knocked her out, kidnapped her, and tied her up in the storage unit, which has left Cheresa desperate for answers. She has no idea why her girlfriend would be doing this to her.

"Answer me, Dawn!" Cheresa yells at her girlfriend, who is standing above her. "Why are you doing this to me? Why did you bring me here?"

"I'm getting fucking tired of hearing you barking back at me," Dawn snaps back at her. "So, guess what? Like a good little bitch, I'm going to muzzle you again."

"What does that mean?" Cheresa asks her as Dawn moves up closer to her. "Dawn? Dawn what are you going to do to me?"

Dawn chuckles as she grabs the mouth gag that she had in Cheresa's mouth earlier and moves closer to her girlfriend, to gag her again. As Dawn get closer enough, though, Cheresa, out of instinct, bites Dawn's hand, which causes her to scream and jump back in horror.

"That hurt!" Dawn yells at her as she looks at her hand, which has some teeth marks in it. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? This is insane, Dawn! What has gotten into you?!"

"You're going to pay," Dawn shakes her head as she looks at her hand. "You're going to pay for this!"

The Cascade Apartments

Jacob thrusts deeply into Cassie, who digs her nails into his back as they are close to climaxing as they are making love to one another. Jacob grunts loudly as he finishes inside his wife, before he rolls over and lays next to her naked body, as he tries to catch his breath.

Cassie pulls the sheet over their bodies and smiles back to him. "That was incredible," she says with a chuckle in her voice. "You never cease to amaze me."

"After our conversation earlier," Jacob grins back to her. "I wanted to show you that you're the only woman for me. And that you don't have to worry about my friendship with St…"

"Don't ruin this moment by mentioning her name," Cassie cuts him off before he can finish saying Stephanie's name, as they were talking about his friendship with her earlier. "I am going to promise you that I will do my best, okay? But if I sense that she is going to come between us, I will do whatever I can to keep our marriage intact. That's all I can say."

"I'll take it," Jacob smiles before he leans over and kisses her again. "Ugh, I…I could go again."

"Then go again," she purrs. "I'm your wife, I'm here for everything you need," she says as she pulls him on top of her and they start kissing again.

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Nicholas slowly moves into the restaurant and feels the palm of his hands starting to sweat. He is about to meet Jarrod for an early dinner as they agreed to talk after they ran into each other at the engagement party the previous night. Nicholas, at first, was against the idea of hearing anything that either Jarrod, or Melissa, had to say about their scheme to fake his death, but after talking to Andy, Nicholas realized that he did need to talk to his former partner to have some kind of closure on the situation.

He peers into the restaurant and sees Jarrod sitting at one of the tables near the back of the restaurant. As Nicholas gets closer to the table, he can't help but realize how attractive Jarrod still his; his bulging biceps are showing through his polo shirt, and his 5 o'clock shadow is ever present.

Jarrod stands up when he sees Nicholas approaching and smiles at him. "Nicholas, hi," he says with a wave. "Thanks for coming."

"I said I would," Nicholas replies to him.

"Before we sit," Jarrod stops Nicholas from taking a seat. "Is…is it too much to ask you for a hug?"

Nicholas gulps heavily and moves closer to Jarrod until they are embracing. Nicholas closes his eyes as he takes in the familiar sent of Jarrod, and feels the muscular arms around him.

"I've…I've miss you," Jarrod whispers into his year before they exit their embrace and they lock eyes with one another. "So, Nicholas, truly, thank you, thank you for meeting with me."

Nicholas nods back to him. "Let's get a drink? Because, while I appreciate the sentiment, Jarrod, I think this is going to be a brutal and honest conversation."

The Calimo Cabin

Sophie slowly moves down the stairs of the cabin. She just finished showering and changing for the day, but earlier, Meggan confronted her about wanting to pour her alcohol down the drain the previous night. Meggan threatened Sophie about doing that, and that's when Sophie left to get ready for the day. She just hopes that Meggan takes the rest of the day off drinking because she doesn't want to continue to around her if she's drinking. She peers out the window and sees the heavy snow fall still falling from the sky, which means the chances of her reaching out to Logan are slim to none.

"Are you feeling better now that you've cleaned up?" Meggan asks her as she moves into the living room of the cabin.

"A little, yea," Sophie nods back to her. "Although, I hadn't realized how late it had gotten."

Meggan chuckles back to her. "That's why I was surprised you even bothered; in this weather, it's not like we are going anywhere, so a pj day is acceptable."

Sophie freezes when she sees it; a coffee cup in Meggan's hand. At the hour of the day, however, she realizes that Meggan is, likely, not having a coffee. "What…what is your cup?"

"Oh, just a vodka spritzier," Meggan giggles back to her. "Do you want one?"

"No!" Sophie lashes out at her. "I don't want to drink!"

"Your loss," Meggan takes a hearty drink of it. "You know, the best thing about drinking is that they become your friends, so you see, I…I am a very popular girl."

Sophie shakes her head in disgust, wondering how she is going to get away from Meggan, because the longer she is at the cabin, the more she wants to escape.

The Calimo Mansion

Tyler slowly walks up the staircase in the Calimo mansion. He just arrived at the mansion and Rosario let him inside as he came to see Madeline. Earlier, he was at the coffeehouse with Kim, when Robbie approached them, and he admitted that he was worried about Madeline as something is going on with her. Tyler, then, decided to drive through the snow to come to the mansion to check on her. Despite everything that they went through, he does care about her.

He knocks softly on the nursery bedroom door and moves inside. He sees Madeline looking out the window while Bobby sleeps in his crib.

"Maddie, hi," he says in a whisper, as to not wake the baby up.

Madeline turns to face Tyler. "Tyler, this is a surprise," she says as she moves up to him and hugs him. "What brings you to the mansion, especially in this weather?"

"We really haven't seen one another since you've been back," Tyler admits to her. "And so, I wanted to come and see you. How are you? How is motherhood?"

Madeline gulps back to him. "I'm fine," she forces a smile on her face. "I have everything that I have always wanted; I am living in this mansion and I have Robbie's baby."

"Have you and Robbie reunited?"

"Not officially, but I think it's a matter of time," Madeline purses her lips together. "And I owe it all to that precious little boy."

Tyler arches his eyebrow as he watches Madeline look at the sleeping baby. "Okay Maddie, it's me," he tells her as they look at one another. "What's going on with you? Tell me everything, because I can tell that something is going on, and I'm not leaving here until you do."

The Davenport House; Trenyce, BJ, & Tinah's Home

"I only let you in because you said this was about Cheresa," Trenyce glares back at Daisy as they face one another in the foyer of Trenyce's home. She is still furious with her Aunt for changing Albertinah's DNA test results, which then made everyone believe that Chris was her daughter's father, not Andrew. But when Daisy arrived at the house, she claimed that she needed help with Cheresa. "What is going on with my daughter?"

"I'm…I'm not sure," Daisy admits to her quickly. "She told me that she was worried about Dawn; last night, actually, Cheresa, she left me a voicemail expressing more concern about Dawn, and…well, she hasn't gotten back to me."

"Maybe Cheresa is busy?" Trenyce asks her back. "She is a doctor? Maybe she is at the hospital?"

"I thought about that," Daisy tells her. "She wasn't scheduled for a shift today. I'm…I'm worried because it's not like Cheresa to not call me back."

Trenyce chuckles back to her. "She was at the party last night," she reminds her Aunt. "Maybe she's not calling you back because, like all of us, we are disgusted by what you did? Have you ever thought of that?"

"I have," Daisy admits to her. "But she left me that voicemail after she left the party, Trey. I…I know you're upset with me, but this is about Cheresa, and I think…I have this feeling that something bad has happened. Will you please put our differences aside and help me find Cheresa?"

The Dockside Storage Lockers

"Dawn," a nervous Cheresa looks back at Dawn, who is moving closer to her. "I'm…I'm sorry…I never meant to hurt you."

"Bullshit," Dawn sneers back at her. "You bit me! You're going to pay for that, Cheresa."

"What…what are you going to do?" Cheresa asks her as her lower lip quivers.

"I'm going to do something I should have done a long time ago," Dawn says as a twinkle emerges in her eye. "And that's kill you, Cheresa. I'm going to end your life once and for all."
