The Pink Flamgino at the River Rock Casino

Stephanie takes another sip of her martini as she continues to sit at the bar of the restaurant. She had just watched Cassie and Jacob have a romantic dinner together, which made her stomach turn. She is still trying to think of a way to counter Cassie's blackmail against her; Cassie discovered that Stephanie is a transwoman, which is a secret that she fears could ruin her medical career, not to mention, she has no idea how Jacob would react to the news.

She had the idea of looking at Cassie's medical file but she has since decided against it because she doesn't know what type of secret the file could have on Cassie, but she also knows that it would be a breach because of doctor-patient confidentiality.

As she takes another sip of her martini, she wonders what she can do to counter this attack on her. "I don't know what I can do, but after seeing Cassie and Jacob tonight, I am more determined than ever to stop Cassie. Jacob deserves to be with someone kind, caring, and sweet, not a blackmailing bitch like Cassie Nova. I will stop her and I will get Jacob away from her. The question is, how?"

***

Daisy sits at a table in the back corner of the restaurant twiddling her fingers together. She is nervous because she has asked to see Leah and Bryce in hopes of her being able to assist Frederick with his condition to help Dawn get out of her brainwashed status. At first, she believed that his request was going to be impossible, but Cheresa pleaded with her to do whatever she could to make the request happen as they believe that Frederick is the only one that can help Dawn. Now, Daisy just hopes that calling Leah and Bryce was the right thing to do.

She stands up when she sees Leah and her son approaching her table. "Hey, thanks for coming," she greets them.

"Your text made it seem important," Leah replies to her as the three of them sit down at the table.

"We hope everything is okay?" Bryce asks her next as they look over at Daisy.

"It is a very long story," Daisy sighs back to them. "The truth is, Dawn was brainwashed and this caused her to lash out and do unimaginable things."

"What?" Leah gasps back to her in horror. "Who did this to Dawn? Who brainwashed her?"

"The same woman that kidnapped Cheresa a few years ago and shot Kim," Daisy explains. "Her name is Tara; Dawn met her while she was doing a research paper for the hospital around mental for inmates; she interviewed me too when I was in jail when they thought I killed Antonio Moretti."

"That poor girl," Bryce shakes his head back to her. "I worked with Dawn for a while at the hospital; she is a sweet girl."

"Yes, exactly," Daisy agrees with him. "My niece, Cheresa, is in love with Dawn and she's beside herself with worry that no one will be able to help Dawn get back to her normal self. But then, I had an idea."

"What was your idea?" Leah asks her.

"I thought that Frederick would be the perfect doctor to help Dawn with this," Daisy explains to them as Leah and Bryce uneasily look at one another.

"That's not going to happen," Bryce quickly replies to her. "Because he left town right before Christmas. Frederick isn't here to help Dawn."

"That's where you're wrong," Daisy gulps. "Frederick is back in Twin Peaks, and I've seen him."

The Lawson Estate; Abby, Ethan, Cheresa, & Georgina's Home

Cheresa sits on the sofa in the lavish living room of the Lawson estate with a glass of wine in her hand. Her mind is racing over the whether or not Daisy will be able to help convince Frederick to help Dawn. The last thing she wants is for Dawn to remain in this catatonic state that she has fallen into. She believes that Frederick is the only one that can help Dawn get healthy again.

Still, she can't believe that Tara brainwashed her girlfriend and as a result, Dawn killed Chantel, pretended to send herself threatening messages, and then attacked Trenyce and Daisy. She knows that when in her right mind, Dawn would never have done any of those things.

"Which is why I need Daisy to help Frederick," Cheresa whispers to herself before she takes a sip of her wine. "Whatever this condition is from Frederick, Daisy needs to do it so he will help Frederick. Otherwise, Dawn might be lost to me, and everyone, forever. And that's something that I can't bear to think about."

She sets her wine glass down on the coffee table when she hears the doorbell to the front door ring. She makes her way into the foyer and gasps out loud when she sees two people standing on the other side of the door: Adam and Helen Black.

"Adam? Helen?" a startled Cheresa says as the couple move into the foyer. "What are you doing here?"

"We came to see what the hell is going on with our daughter," Adam tells Cheresa sternly. "We want to know every last detail, and we aren't leaving until we do."

The Tower's; Floor One; Andy's Condo

Andy and Logan sit next to one another in the living room of Andy's condo, each with a drink in front of them. They had connected earlier at Barcode where the bartender had cut Andy off; at this time, Andy suggested that they return to his condo so they could continue to drink with one another.

"These drinks you made are even better than the drinks at Barcode," Logan tells Andy before he takes another sip of his cocktail.

"Thanks Logan, that's kind of you to say," Andy replies to him. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, why not."

"What leads you to drink?" Andy asks him as Logan looks back at him in surprise. "I mean, normally people who drink as much as the two of us, there is a reason behind it."

"You're not wrong," Logan admits to him. "What is your reason?"

Andy rolls his eyes back to him. "My fiancé left me for another man," Andy reveals to him. "To a man that he thought was dead for years, no less."

"Whoa, that sounds intense," Logan says back to him. "I'm sorry that you're going through that."

"Win some and lose some," Andy replies to him. "How about you?"

"I…well, I slept with one of my friends last year," Logan starts to tell him. "And she ended up pregnant."

"Congratulations," Andy looks back at him. "I wouldn't have guessed that you are a father."

"I'm not," Logan sighs back to him. "There was an accident and she lost the baby. To be honest, it was my mother's fault. My mother killed my unborn child."

"Oh shit," Andy slurs his words back to him. "That's rough, I'm sorry."

"Yea, so I guess that's driving my drinking right now," Logan tells him. "Speaking of, I'm in need of a refill."

"Coming right up," Andy says as he struggles to stand up, as he and Logan are both extremely intoxicated.

The Calimo Cabin

Robbie firmly looks back at Madeline as they continue to face one another in the living room of the Calimo cabin. Everything has, seemingly, happened so quickly over the last few hours. Robbie was at Roboto when he got a call from one of the Calimo groundskeepers informing him that he saw a light on at the cabin. That's when he realized that Madeline, who had disappeared from the mansion, must have been at the cabin, so he raced there. When he arrived, he saw Madeline with a bottle of pills in her hand and a bottle of vodka in the other. He was mortified to realize that the pills were old drugs that Natasha was on years ago; he is, now, demanding answers from Madeline.

"Answer me, Madeline," Robbie looks at her with intent. "What the hell is going on with you? Why were you about to take these pills with vodka?"

"You don't understand!" Madeline cries back to him. "No one does!"

"I'm trying to understand," Robbie tells her. "But I need you to fill in the gaps for me. Why would you want to take these pills with vodka? You…you could have overdosed!"

"I'm a doctor," she reminds him. "I wouldn't have overdosed! But…but I did need to numb myself."

"Why?" Robbie pleads with her. "We have a beautiful baby boy at home that needs us, Madeline. Why would you do this? You could have died! And then what? Bobby would grow up without a mother?"

More tears flow from Madeline's eyes as she listens to what Robbie is telling her. "I'm trying, Robbie, I'm trying!"

"Well try harder," Robbie yells at her. "Because you popping someone else's pills with vodka is not going to solve anything!"

"You're right, you're right…" she pleads with him. "My God, I'm a mess! I'm really a mess!"

"This has to be more than just postpartum," Robbie continues to grill her. "So, tell me, what is going on with you, Madeline? I need to know what is happening with you!"

The Towers; Floor Eight; Victoria & Jeff's Condo

Victoria slowly stirs some pasta sauce that she has simmering on the stove before she checks her watch again. She sighs in frustration as Jeff is late for dinner, and she hasn't heard from him as to what could be keeping him. She understands that he can get busy at work but she wishes that he would have, at least, let her know that he was running behind on coming home.

She leaves the stove for a moment and finds her phone. She rolls her eyes when, again, there is neither a phone call from Jeff nor a text message from him. She opens her messages and starts to type to him.

"Where are you? I have dinner simmering on the stove; it's ready for you. It's not like you to ghost me," she types before she pushes send.

"I guess I'll have a glass of wine while I wait for him," she tells herself as she moves back to the kitchen to get a glass, still wondering where Jeff could possibly be.

The Docks Storage Lockers

In the dark, damp storage locker that belongs to the Lawson family, there is a slow, but consistent, drip of water as there is a minor leak in the roof. The dripping has a created a small puddle in the corner of the storage locker room. No one has been in the locker room for months, however, so they haven't realized.

In the middle of the storage locker, a chair sits. From the window above, some light is cast into the otherwise dark space. Sitting in the chair is an unconscious Jeff; he's tied to the chair, and not moving.

The only sound in the room is that of the slow, but consistent, dripping of the water.
