Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I…I just can't believe that our little girl was pregnant and she didn't tell us," Natasha tells Cory as they walk through the hospital as they head towards Sophie's room. They just found out from Stephanie that Sophie, should, make a full recovery, but that she miscarried her baby. The parents were rattled as they didn't know that Sophie was pregnant; and they have no idea who the father of the child could be.

"I know," Cory sighs back to her. "I am having a hard time processing the fact that our daughter is a young woman now and having sex. I…I still picture her being in diapers."

Natasha chuckles back to him. "Me too," she admits to him. "You know she's going to be devastated by this."

"It's good that we are here together," Cory says. "We can support her through this time."

"Speaking of support," Natasha stops and looks at her former husband. "Why isn't Robin here? I thought she'd be by your side while you wait for information on Sophie."

Cory runs his hands through his hair as he thinks about how admitted to Robin that he and Penny slept together before she went back to Holdenville. The news upset her to the point where she isn't sure if they have a future together anymore.

"I made a huge mistake with Robin," Cory finally answers Natasha. "I'm not sure if she will forgive me or if we have a future together at all."

Natasha pulls him into a hug. "You two have been through so much together," she whispers to him. "Have faith that this is just another touch moment and that you will come out on the other side."

"Thanks Nat," Cory says as they exit their embrace. "Come on, let's go see our daughter."

The River Rock Casino; The Spa

On the fourth floor of the casino, there is a lavish spa where guests can get massages, facials, manicures, pedicures, use the steam rooms, the plunge pools, and the regular pool. Today, however, the main entrance has is being transformed into a catwalk for the upcoming launch of Robertson Enterprises' bath line, "RELax". On both sides of the catwalk, there are two large TV screens so the audience members will be able to see all of the fashion and products, no matter where they are seated. The event will also be livestreamed for those not able to attend.

"Jeff and Victoria are around here somewhere, and I need to find them," Robin tells Leah as they look around the room. "I need to know where to put the bubble machines."

"Bubble machines? Leah asks with an arched eyebrow.

"Yea, they thought it would give the bath theme a boost to have bubbles," Robin chuckles back to her.

"I know I don't work for Robertson right now, but if you need help, I can."

"Thanks, once I find Jeff and Victoria, I'm sure everything will be fine. Those two have put this together all by themselves."

"Trust me, I know," Leah sighs back to her. "The number of late night's Jeff has had has been troubling."

"You two are still okay, aren't you?" Robin asks her sister quickly.

"I wish I could say yes, but I don't know," Leah admits to her. "We have grown apart, that I know, but I am hoping we can get back on track after this launch and once he is away from that viper."

"I hope so too, Leah. You two, you belong together," Robin says.

"What about Cory? Is he coming to the launch?"

"I'm not sure," Robin admits to him. "With Sophie in the hospital, that is his concern. And frankly, I'm not sure that I want him here."

"Why would you say that?"

"He slept with Penny behind my back," Robin admits to her. "Just when I thought we were on the same page and doing good, he goes and cheats on me! I…I'm too old for this back and forth."

"I am sorry Robin," Leah tells her quickly. "But like you just told me about Jeff, I think you and Cory belong together, so don't give up on him, not yet, not until you've tried your best to work through this."

Meanwhile, in the changing room, Victoria and Jeff are looking at the various models as they are walking around in the RELax robes and underwear line that Trenyce created.

"I wish that Trenyce was here for this," Jeff tells Victoria. "It's scary that she's in the hospital right now."

"I know but she would want the show to go on," Victoria replies to him. "Besides, we are so close to having all of this amazing work we've done be showcased to the world!"

"I am excited too," Jeff chuckles back to her. "But part of me is sad. "

"Why are you sad?"

"That we won't have this an excuse to spend so much time together," Jeff winks back at her. "You know how much I have enjoyed it."

Victoria giggles back to him. "Me too, so I guess that means we will just have to get creative on how you can spend hours making love to me moving forward."

"Hours, huh?"

"You heard me," she purrs back to him before she playfully swats his chest.

The Sugarbowl

Abby sits in the back booth of the coffeehouse with a large coffee in front of her. Her mind is racing over the fact that the previous night Ethan told her that she might have choose which family she wanted to be with her: him and Georgina or Max and Olly. She doesn't think that this is fair as she just got her son back; she doesn't want to lose him again.

"There you are," Ethan says as he sits across from her, also with a coffee in his hand. "You left so early, before I was even awake."

"I know, I needed some time to clear my head," she admits to him before she takes a sip of her coffee.

"Do I even have to ask what you're thinking about?" Ethan asks her quickly.

"Your ultimatum," Abby sneers at him. "I…I can't believe you would want me to choose between you and our daughter and Max and Olly. That's not fair, Ethan, and you know it."

"I'm sorry," Ethan shrugs back to her. "I am just getting tired of feeling like you're putting their needs ahead of me and Georgina. I'm sure that we can come up with some sort of compromise?"

"Yea we are," Abby looks back at him with intent. "Because I have two children and I will not be made to choose between them, so you are going to have to learn to understand and respect that."

Before Ethan can respond, Abby's cell phone pings. She looks at the screen and feels her heart drop. "Oh my God," she says.

"What is it?" Ethan asks her quickly.

"It's Cheresa…I have to go see my sister, she needs me," Abby tells him, having just gotten a message about the horrible ordeal that Cheresa went through the previous night.

Twin Peaks Police Station

"How is Dawn doing this morning?" Cheresa asks Simona as she sits in the detective's office. Cheresa knows that her girlfriend had to spend the night in jail after she tried to kill her, Daisy, and Trenyce. Cheresa knows, however, that if Daisy's theory about Tara brainwashing Dawn is true, then it wasn't her fault.

"She's still sleeping," Simona replies to her. "I think she was exhausted from everything that happened."

"When can we get a doctor to see her?" Cheresa asks her next. "Because if my Aunt Daisy's theory is true, then Dawn, she's not in her right mind."

Simona arches her eyebrow back to her. "And you really believe that Tara, who is in a state jail, brainwashed Dawn into doing these horrible acts?"

"I do," Cheresa nods back to her. "The woman that I love would not have killed Chantel, she would not have kidnapped me, and she would not have tried to kill me, my mother and my Aunt. Tara brainwashing her is the only thing that makes sense."

"I will ask that a doctor check her out, but I have to warn you Cheresa," Simona says back to her. "If this brainwashing story doesn't pan out, Dawn is going to be in a lot of trouble. A murder charge is very serious and she will go to jail for a very long time."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I don't believe any of this," Chris admits to Daisy and Andrew as he paces back and forth in the waiting room of a hospital. He and Andrew arrived at the hospital in the morning after Daisy told them about her and Trenyce saving Cheresa from a crazed Dawn; in the process, however, Dawn was able to bash Trenyce's head into the concrete until she was rendered unconscious. "Dawn tried to kill you all? And she knocked Trenyce out? But why?"

"Like I was saying," Daisy replies to him quickly. "When Dawn was working on her report for mental health, she visited Tara, who was in a secured area of the prison, meaning they were alone together."

"I remember you telling me that you had seen Tara," Andrew recalls as he looks at his estranged fiancé. While he is still furious with her for switching Albertinah's DNA test results, he knows that none of that matters while Trenyce is in the hospital.

"Yes, and I think she brainwashed Dawn," Daisy continues to explain to everyone. "It would explain why Dawn started acting so oddly after."

"Jesus," Chris says. "And now Trenyce could be in serious jeopardy because of this! Damn that woman!"

"I just want to thank you both for being here," Daisy admits to her family. "I know the night of the engagement party was difficult, but it means a lot that you can all be here while we wait."

Andrew and Chris look at one another uneasily before they look back at Daisy. "We are still family, and Trenyce's health has to come first," Chris tells her. "I just hope we get good news soon."

***

Meanwhile, Cory and Natasha open the door to Sophie's hospital room and move inside. Sophie, who is awake, turns over and sees her parents coming towards her.

"Mom, Dad," Sophie whispers to them. "What…what happened?"

"You tripped at the cabin while in a storm," Cory tells her as they sit next to her.

"The blizzard, oh my God, I remember," Sophie says in a panic.

"It's okay now," Natasha tells her daughter. "You're safe, and the doctors were able to treat you for hypothermia. You're going to be fine, that's all that matters."

"I still feel cold," Sophie whispers to them.

"You will get back to normal in no time," Cory says. "But Soph, we do have some news."

"What?"

"The doctor," Natasha grabs Sophie's hand. "She told us that you were pregnant, and baby, I'm sorry, but the baby, it didn't make it."

"What?" Sophie gasps as tears flood her eyes. The thought of her baby being dead hits her like a ton of bricks; she was just getting used to the idea of being a mother, and she was excited to tell Logan the news. Now, all of that has been ripped away from her. "Oh my God! My baby!"

"We are so sorry darling," Natasha tells her quickly.

"We didn't even know…" Cory replies to her. "But we are here for you."

"I hadn't even told Logan about the baby yet, that's why I didn't tell you," Sophie says as a tear falls down her cheek.

"Logan?" Natasha asks in shock. "Logan Richardson was the father of your baby?" she asks as Sophie nods as another tear falls down her cheek and Natasha looks at Cory in shock.
