Twin Peaks General Hospital

Paige steps out of the elevators on the main floor of the hospital as she prepares to head to one of her doctor appointments to ensure that she, and her unborn child, are still healthy. She is still planning to give her child up for adoption, but until she gives birth, she still wants to ensure that her child is as healthy as possible. As she moves towards her hospital room, she sees Will at the nurses station looking at some patient files. She can't help but recall how she saw Will earlier at the Pink Flamingo and he told her that he didn't want to lose their child; she has told Will, many times, that it is her decision, but he continues to press her to change her mind.

"How is your shift going?" Paige asks him as she approaches him.

"Hi," Will looks down from his file. "It's going well. I didn't think I'd see you again after dinner."

"I know, I have an appointment to make sure that everything is okay with the baby," she explains to him. "And before you ask, yes, so far, everything is just fine."

"I'm happy to hear that."

"I know you're busy and I have to get to my appointment, but I really wanted to talk to you quickly."

Will arches his eyebrow back to her wondering what they have to discuss; he can't help but hope that this means that she has changed her mind about giving their child up for adoption.

"Of course, what's up?" he finally replies to her.

"It's just," Paige begins to tell him. "When we were at the restaurant, you, uh, pressed me to change my mind about the baby," she reminds him as he nods back to her. "And that's not going to happen; I've made my decision, and so, I need you to respect it, please. I'm asking you to respect my decision because it is mine to make."

"I…"

"No, Will," she cuts him off quickly. "This isn't up for debate. Please, stop pressuring me."

One Day House

Nicholas sits behind his desk at the One Day House. He quickly looks at the picture of him and Andy that rests on his desk and gets a sly grin on his face at the sight of them together. He has called both Andy and Jarrod over to his office to let them know that he has made a decision about their futures; he just hopes that they are receptive to hear what he has to say. He has been doing a lot of soul searching trying to figure out what is best for him now that Jarrod is back in his life.

"I got your message," Andy says as he moves into the office. "It is late, is everything okay?"

"I am fine," Nicholas replies to him as he moves up to hug him. "How are you?"

"Also fine," Andy chuckles back to him. "I am curious about why you wanted me to come meet you here though? Not that I don't like your office but…"

Nicholas chuckles back to him. "Honestly, I wanted this conversation to be on neutral ground," he reveals to him as Jarrod appears at the doorway.

"I'm not interrupting, am I?" Jarrod asks as Andy looks over at him in surprise. The last person Andy expected to be joining him and Nicholas was Jarrod.

"Not at all," Nicholas says back to him. "You're right on time."

"Alright," Andy looks over at Nicholas. "What's going on Nicholas? Why did you summon me and Jarrod to your office?"

"Because," Nicholas sighs back to him. "I've made a decision, and I want both of you to hear it from me."

The Victors Estate; Frederick's Lair

Frederick moves to the bar in the living room of the Victors mansion and pours himself a scotch. As he takes a sip of the brown liquor, he can't help but recall that the private investigator that he hired to track down Dominick told him that based on the flight plans, Dominick travelled to Italy recently. Frederick's theory is that Dominick kidnapped Felicia and took her to Italy to get her away from him; Frederick, however, is determined to get his wife back.

"If I look at flights to Italy, the majority of them fly into Rome," Frederick whispers to himself as he takes another sip of his scotch. "I can go to Rome, but I don't think Dominick would have stayed there. The question, where in Italy did Dominick take you, Felicia? I have to solve this riddle because I will find you."

He moves to his phone and dials a number. "It's Frederick Richardson," he says into his phone. "I need to be on the next flight to Rome, Italy….No, I don't care about the cost, just make it happen and email me the ticket so I know when to be at the airport."

He hangs up the phone and sighs heavily. "I'm coming for you, Felicia; I won't let your kidnapper win."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Bryce sits at the bar of the restaurant with a beer in front of him. He hasn't been able to stop thinking about the fact that Jeff and Victoria have been sleeping together; the sight of seeing them kissing at the RELax launch is haunting him. For months, he has been trying to convince Victoria to give him another chance, but she has been telling him that they are over, which he now realizes is because she has been sleeping with his father. He can't believe that Jeff and Victoria would do this to him. What's worse is how Leah must feel, he realizes, since she and Jeff were living together and in a relationship.

"What a fucking mess," he whispers to himself before he takes as sip of his beer.

"Can I join you? I could use a drink," Leah announces as she moves up to her son and sits next to him. "Been a long day, huh?"

"You can say that again," Bryce admits back to her. "How are you holding up with this revelation?"

"You mean that Jeff and Victoria are having an affair?" she asks him as she orders a martini from the bartender. "Just peachy."

Bryce chuckles back to her. "Have you seen Jeff?"

"Oh yes," Leah nods back to him before she takes a sip of her martini. "Get this, he believes he and Victoria have a future together! Can you believe it? This…this is more than just a fling!"

"What?" Bryce gasps back to her in shock. "That doesn't make any sense! How can they have a future together?"

Leah shrugs back to him. "I guess this affair has been going on for longer than any of us realize."

"This all started when Victoria wanted to get a job at Robertson Enterprises," Bryce replies to her. "I…I wish she had never gotten that damn job!"

"I know," Leah waves her hand in the air. "This…this can't be happening. Jeff and Victoria can't be together, they just can't!"

"I agree," Bryce looks back at her. "You know, you and I worked well together in the Felicia situation."

Leah arches her eyebrow back to him. "Why are you bringing that up now?"

"Because," Bryce replies to her. "Maybe we should do something to ensure Jeff and Victoria don't stay together."

"Are you suggesting that we work together to break them up?"

"That's exactly what I am suggesting," Bryce winks back to her. "What do you say, Mom? Let's break up those two cheaters?"

Robertson Enterprises

Robbie steps off the elevator at Robertson Enterprises and makes a beeline for the CEO's office. He is there to see Tyler because he found out from Rosario that, once again, he went to see Madeline at the Calimo mansion. He wants to try to understand if Tyler has any insights on what is going on with Madeline, as he knows that she has been dealing with some form of postpartum. He almost can't believe that he is turning to Tyler for help since they have been at odds for years.

"Sorry to interrupt, he announces as he moves into the office. "But we need to talk."

Tyler looks up from his laptop in surprise. The last person he expected to see in his office is Robbie considering their heated history. He only hopes that he's not there to grill him about his engagement to Kim; he knows that Robbie must be furious that they are engaged because he was trying hard to make his own marriage to Kim work.

"You're the last person I was expecting to see in my office," Tyler nervously chuckles to him. "What do I owe this pleasure?"

"I know that you've been to seen Madeline," Robbie reveals to him as he crosses his muscular arms over his chest. "How…how does she seem when you visit her?"

Tyler gulps back to him as he recalls how Madeline admitted to him that she induced Kim's labour the night of their car crash; Kim had been knocked unconscious during the accident, and once Madeline got her back to the Calimo cabin, she induced the labour, stole her baby, and then, told Kim that her child died in the crash. Tyler has been rocked Madeline's revelation as he is now lying to Kim, but he knows that he has to keep the secret because Madeline has told him that if he reveals the truth, he will lose Kim, and he believes that she is right about that.

"What do you mean? We…we were just catching up?"

"I know," Robbie tells him. "I wasn't suggesting anything else. But…she has admitted to me that she is struggling and I was hoping that you could…I don't know, shed some light on what is going on with her."

Tyler shakes his head quickly back to him. "I'm sorry Robbie, but I can't do that."

"Why not? Madeline…she might need support!"

"Then she will have to come to you asking for that help," Tyler tells him. "Because Madeline and I, we are friends, and with that comes confidentiality; I won't break that, but just know, if I did think that she was in trouble or danger, I would tell you."

"That's fair," Robbie sighs back to him. "I am just worried about you and I don't know what to do or how to help her."

"Just be there for her, that's all you can do."

The Calimo Mansion

Kim strolls through the long hallway of the Calimo mansion with a suitcase in her hand. She is at the mansion to pick up some more of her belongings as she recently moved out of the mansion and into Tyler's townhouse since they are engaged. As she walks down the hallway, however, she happens to the faint cry of a baby. She pauses and opens the door to Bobby's nursery. She peers inside and sees that he is crying in his crib. She finds herself moving closer to the baby.

"Hey little guy," she says as she sets her suitcase down on the floor before she turns her attention to the baby. "Are you feeling lonely? Where are your Mommy and Daddy?"

She picks up the baby and starts bouncing him in her arms. "You're such a good boy, right? You're getting so big, and look how strong you are," she gushes over him. As she continues to cuddle him, his crying stops and he starts to smile with her. "There you go, you just needed some attention, hey Bobby? Awe, you're such a handsome little boy, yes, yes you are!"

At the doorway, Madeline freezes at the sight of Kim holding her child. Madeline gulps heavily realizing that she is a natural with him; something she is not. Suddenly, the voices of guilt start to creep into her head. She has to get herself under control, she realizes, because she doesn't want to lose Robbie, but seeing Bobby and Kim together, she can't help but wonder if she did the right thing.

***

Meanwhile, downstairs in the living room, Sophie is pacing back and forth in front of the fireplace, which has a huge fire in it. The Christmas lights in the tree are twinkling in the room as the season is right around the corner, but Sophie's mind is not thinking about the presents she still has to buy. She was just paid a visit by Simona, who asked if Meggan had anything to do with her miscarriage, because the detective had seen her medical records and her blood-alcohol level was over the legal limit. Sophie knows that she was terrified of how much Meggan was drinking, and Meggan even threatened her after she wanted to pour some wine down the drain, but she doesn't know if that is enough to press charges against her because her fall was an accident.

"I wouldn't have been outside had Meggan not continued to drink that day," Sophie says as she looks into the flames of the fire. "She didn't actually cause my fall, that was an accident, but I wouldn't have rushed out into the blizzard had she not been drinking."

She shakes her head in confusion as she has no idea what she should do. Thankfully, Simona agreed to give her some time to think about it, but she knows that she has to give Simona an answer sooner than later.

"I…I should talk to Max about this," she tells herself. "He has always given me good advice, and this could be a way for me to reach out to him since he learned that I was with Logan."

She knows that Max was upset with her after he learned that she miscarried. Based on the timing of the pregnancy, Max knew that he couldn't have been the father, so she had to tell him about her one-night stand with Logan, which crushed him.

"I can hit two birds with one stone," she tells herself. "I can reach out to him and try to make amends and also get his advice on Meggan. Yea, I'll go see Max right now," she says as she storms out of the living room.

The Cascade Apartments

Max is only wearing a pair of grey sweatpants as he closes the door to Olly's bedroom. His son just fell asleep and, now, he is looking forward to having a beer and then hitting the sheets himself. He is exhausted; he never realized how much energy it would take to have a young child, but he can't complain as he missed so much time with Olly that he doesn't want to miss anymore time with him.

He cracks the beer and makes his way to the sofa where he sits down and takes a sip of it. Just then, he hears a knock on his front door. He sets his beer down and moves to the door, seeing Natasha on the other side of the door.

"Natasha, this is a surprise," he says as he lets her into his apartment.

"Yea, sorry," she turns to look at him, immediately realizing that he has a toned chest. "I hope it's not too late."

"No," Max replies to her. "I was just having a beer before turning in for the night. Can I get you anything?"

"No, that's fine," Natasha waves his hand. "I had that drink at the Pink Flamingo with you earlier; if I have another, I won't be able to drive home."

"Fair. So, uh, what brings you by?"

Natasha chuckles back to him. "This actually," she opens her purse and pulls out a small fire truck.

"Olly's fire truck? How did you get that?" Max says as he takes it from her.

"It must have fallen out of your bag at the Pink Flamingo," she explains to him. "I saw it when I was paying for my drink and thought your son might be missing it."

"You're a life saver," he chuckles back to her. "He was asking for it before he went to bed and I told him we'd find it in the morning. Thanks, Nat."

"Sure," she replies to him. "Well, that's why I stopped by."

"You also didn't want to go home, did you? Considering everything that is going on with Shane?"

"I suppose that's true," she nods back to him. "Are you feeling any better about Sophie?"

"I don't want to talk about Sophie."

Natasha chuckles back to him. "Fair, I guess neither one of us are in a good place romantically."

"True, but we are humans."

They lock eyes and before they know it, they are kissing one another. They part ways until he kisses her again, this time with more passion, and he starts to take off her jacket, and she starts tugging at his pants.
