The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Paige sits at a table with a lobster mac and cheese in front of her. She had been craving this dish all day while she was working, mostly because she is pregnant and it has been one of her staples since she discovered that she was with child. As she takes a bite of the pasta, she can't help but think about the RELax launch and how huge it has been for Robertson Enterprises. While she is thrilled that the company is doing so well, she is still reeling from the revelation that Jeff and Victoria have been sleeping together; after her parents reunited a few years ago, she always believed that they would end up together, but now, that seems like it will their relationship will, once again, fall apart.

"Looks like you're eating for two," Will announces as he moves up to her table. "Do you, uh, mind if I join you?"

"Sure, why not?" Paige says before she wipes her mouth. "How have you been, Will?"

"To be honest, I haven't been able to stop thinking about our last conversation," he admits to her. "You know, the one where you told me that you were going to give our child up for adoption?"

Paige nervously chuckles back to him. Since the moment she discovered that she was pregnant, she has questioned whether or not she wanted to have the child. This is mostly because she knew, the entire time, that Will was still in love with Eva; she has felt incredibly foolish for even having unprotected sex with Will knowing about his true feelings, but she can't change that course of action now. Once she realized that she was pregnant, however, she realized that she didn't want to have the baby, but while she was deciding, the time to terminate the pregnancy came and went, so she has decided to give the child up for adoption, which she knows Will has not been pleased about.

"How could I forget?" Paige finally responds to him with a chuckle. "I am the one carrying this child, after all."

"Have you reconsidered?" Will asks her quickly. "I mean about giving the baby up for adoption?"

"No," Paige quickly responds to him. "It is the right thing to do for me and the baby, Will. I…I need you to respect my decision."

"The thing is, Paige, I…I don't want to lose my child," Will sighs back to her. "I do not want my child to be raised by strangers."

"You need to wrap your head around this," Paige firmly replies to him. "Because this is my decision and it is final."

At the back table of the restaurant, Donovan and Sergio sit across from one another. Earlier, Donovan had arranged a romantic dinner for the two of them because he is trying to show Sergio that he wants their relationship to work; Sergio has been furious with him for sleeping with Lukas in the middle of their custody trial. Donovan had explained that they were just caught up in the middle of a victory during the trial, but Sergio remained upset that Donovan lied to him about it for weeks.

"This is nice," Donovan says to his lover as he takes a sip of the white wine that he has in his glass. "Us having dinner together, I mean. When I was arranging this, I wasn't sure that you'd show up."

Sergio chuckles to him. "We both have to eat, right? Might as well do it together. And, by the way, thanks for organizing."

"Of course," Donovan smiles back to him. "I wanted to see you and talk to you and catch up with you, and if I am honest, I did have an ulterior motive."

Sergio arches his eyebrow back to him. "What do you mean? What was your motive?"

Donovan chuckles back to him. "It is nothing bad, if that's what you're thinking," he replies to him. "The truth is, I wanted to do something to show you how sorry I am about everything that happened with Lukas. I am trying my best to make things right between us, and I hope that this is a good start."

"I mean, it is a good start," Sergio nods back to him. "But if I am honest with you, Donovan, it is going to take more than one romantic dinner to mend all of the fences that have been burned. A lot more."

Abby storms into the restaurant and makes a beeline towards the bar. She is looking to have a drink to calm her nerves after Cheresa filled her in on the fact that Tara brainwashed Dawn, which is the reason why she snapped and killed Chantel and tried to kill Cheresa, Daisy, and Trenyce. On top of this, Ethan has moved out of the Lawson estate, which has devastated her. She knows that Ethan has been struggling with the fact that she has been dividing her time between him and Georgina and with Max and Olly; the fact is, she has trying to balance the time with her two children because she has been over the moon since she learned that Olly is alive.

As she approaches the bar, she can't help but see Ethan sitting alone with a beer in front of him. "Ethan, hi, this is….this is a nice surprise," Abby says as she sits next to him.

"Abby, I was going to call you," Ethan replies to her before he looks at her. "I was hoping to set up a time for us to spend some time together with Georgina."

"I'd love that," Abby smiles back to him. "Look, I know that you're trying to put yourself in a situation where you don't feel like I have to choose, but Ethan, I miss you and Georgina at the mansion. I'm…I'm going to give you some space like you asked for, but I will make this work, I promise you that. I won't let this transition come between us."

"I want that more than anything else," Ethan admits to her. "But you're right, it is for the best that we have some space right now."

Stephanie sits across the bar with a glass of white wine in front of her. After the busy day at the hospital, she decided to come to the restaurant to have a small dinner and a glass of wine. The last thing she wanted to do was go home and have to cook for herself. One of things that she dislikes about being single is having to make herself meals. On top of that, she recalls how she went to the delicatessen for lunch and saw Cassie and Jacob together; she knows that she has pushed Jacob away and told him that they couldn't be friends because Cassie is threatening to expose her transition.

"We have got to stop running into one another like this," Cassie hisses as she approaches the bar.

"What the hell do you want now?" Stephanie rolls her eyes back to her. "I have told Jacob that we can't be friends, isn't that enough for you?"

Cassie chuckles back to her. "Yes, thank you for doing that," she whispers back to her. "Because now, I can keep your secret…Stefan."

"Don't you ever call me that again," Stephanie warns her. "I really was enjoying my dinner until you got here…if there's nothing else."

"There is nothing else," Cassie winks back at her. "Just remember, at any time, I can reveal your secret, so you best stay away from my husband…or else…"

Behind Cassie, Jacob emerges in the restaurant after parking their car. He arches his eyebrow at the sight of Stephanie and Cassie talking, wondering what they could be interacting about, especially since Stephanie has told him that she didn't want to be around him anymore.

At another table in a corner, Robin and Cory sit across from one another with a bottle of wine in front of them. Cory asked Robin to join him for a drink after she reached out to him about Sophie's miscarriage. He knows that things are still tense between them because he admitted to her that he slept with Penny before she left town, but he thought it was a good sign that she reached out to him.

"I…I really appreciate the voicemail you left me," Cory tells her before he takes a sip of the red wine. "It was hard seeing Sophie go through that, you know?"

"I can only imagine," Robin replies to him. "I didn't realize she had taken that step with a man yet."

"Me neither," Cory admits to her. "There's a part of me that wants her to stay my little girl forever, but the truth is, my daughter, she's a young woman now."

"How is she holding up?"

Cory shrugs back to her. "She will make a full recovery, thank God," he tells her. "But I think the emotional toll of losing a child will take it's time."

Robin feels her eyes swell with water. "Hey, are you okay?" Cory asks her quickly, seeing that she is emotional.

"I'm fine," Robin waves her hand in the air as a single tear falls down her cheek. "It's just…you know, whenever I hear of a child losing their life, I…I can't help…"

"Our daughter?" Cory asks her as she nods back to him. He reaches over and grabs her hand. "I think about her too, all the time."

Robin looks back at him and remembers how she was a model at Robertson Enterprises and she ended up having a stalker. The stalker turned out to be Liam Fitzpatrick; Liam kidnapped a pregnant Robin and took her to the Calimo cabin. While at the cabin, there was a blackout and Robin went into labour. Liam delivered Robin's baby, who was stillborn.

"It is one of those life events that will bond us together, forever," Robin whispers back to him. "No one will ever know what else we went through."

"No one, and I'm here Robin, if you need me, I am here."

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

"I really appreciate everyone putting their differences aside together to meet with me this evening," Cheresa announces to her family, which includes, Chris, Trenyce, Andrew, and Daisy. Cheresa knows that things have been tense since Daisy and Andrew's engagement party because Daisy finally admitted that she was the one that switched Albertinah's DNA test results because she was worried that if the truth came out she would lose Andrew. The truth has sent ripples through the Davenport family, but Cheresa knows that what she has to reveal to everyone has to come first and everyone needs to put their differences aside.

"Of course," Trenyce smiles back to her daughter. "We actually have some good news of our own; your father has moved back in."

"What?" a shocked Daisy gasps back to the room.

"Yea, the entire ordeal with Dawn attacking Trey," Chris looks back at everyone. "Made me realize how much I love her, and how much I love this family, and so, I moved back and we are going to try to repair our marriage."

"It won't be easy, but we are going to try to make this work," Trenyce continues to tell everyone.

"Well congratulations," Andrew manages to say to everyone. "This is some good news that we needed to hear."

"Cheresa, what is your news?" Daisy asks her as she is still curious about what Cheresa gathered everyone for.

"Right," Cheresa replies to her family. "I…I saw Tara in prison," she reveals to everyone. "And she admitted that she brainwashed Dawn."

"My God," Trenyce gasps back to her in horror at the revelation. "That woman is truly insane."

"But at least we know what happened to Dawn now," Cheresa explains. "And now, we have to help her."

"She will need a doctor of some kind, I am assuming?" Andrew asks her quickly.

"I already called Greg," Cheresa reveals to everyone. "But he isn't able to help; he is overseas helping some foster children."

"Good for him," Chris replies to his daughter. "But that still means that you need someone to help you."

"I have an idea," Daisy sighs heavily to everyone. "I know you probably won't like it, but I think I know who could help Dawn."

"Who?" Cheresa asks her quickly. "I need someone that can help!"

"Frederick," Daisy explains as everyone looks back at her in surprise. "I think my biological father could be the person to help Dawn."

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

Logan moves back into the living room of the lavish Richardson estate. He was up in his room playing on his Xbox when he thought he would come and grab a drink to take back up with him. He is trying to numb himself from thinking about how Meggan is the one responsible for Sophie losing her child; he can't help but think that Sophie never would have left the cabin had his mother not been drinking so heavily.

He freezes when he sees his mother standing at the bar with a glass in her hand. He cuffs at the sight realizing that she is drinking, yet again. "Took you a while to start today, but I am not shocked to see you with that glass in your hand."

Meggan turns to him with red eyes as she has been crying. "My son blames me for the death of his unborn child; I can use a drink," she replies to him.

"Like you need an excuse to have a drink," he rolls his eyes back to her. "Every day you have a drink mother! What was the excuse yesterday?"

"Why are you doing this?" Meggan asks him quickly. "You're being so cold, so cruel to me!"

He shakes his head back at her in disbelief. "You're the reason my child is dead! What part of that don't you understand?"

Meggan throws her glass against the wall causing it to shatter into a million pieces. "And I told you that I don't have a fucking drinking problem!" she shouts back at him. "If you're not going to respect me, then you can get the hell out of my house!"

"You're kicking me out my family home now? That's rich," Logan huffs back at her as Meggan starts to cry. "Fine, I'm gone! Do you hear me? I'm GONE!"

The Calimo Mansion

"I am glad to see you out of the hospital," Simona tells Sophie as they move into the living room of the Calimo mansion. The last time the police detective saw Sophie, she was still in the hospital recovering from the ordeal that took place at the Calimo mansion. "How are you feeling?"

"As well as to be expected," Sophie replies to her quickly. "Can I get you anything? Some water, or a coffee, or a drink?"

Simona chuckles back to her. "No, no, I'm fine, but thank you."

"Alright, well I guess I am curious about what brings you by then, detective? I'm not in some sort of trouble, am I?"

"No, no, nothing like that," Simona tells her. "The truth is, not only did I want to see how you're doing, but I also wanted to understand what happened at the cabin and if there was anything more that I should investigate."

"What do you mean by that?" Sophie asks her with an arched eyebrow.

"Well, I was able to review both yours and Meggan's medical records as part of my investigation," Simona reveals to her. "Meggan's blood alcohol limit was well above the legal limit; did she do anything to cause this accident? Is Meggan the reason that you're baby died? Because if so, Sophie, we can press charges," Simona tells her. "So you tell me, did Meggan have anything to do with the death of your unborn child?"
