The Young Mansion; Nicholas & Jarrod's Home

Jarrod sips on a whiskey sour as he sits on the sofa in the large living room of the Young Mansion. He is waiting for Nicholas to come home, but he is surprised that his lover isn't home already as it is rather late in the evening. He knows that Nicholas has a lot to do at the One Day House, but normally he is home, at least, for dinner. He can't help but wonder if Nicholas is avoiding him since they have realized that they are very different people now compared to when they first started to date one another. Under the advice from Donovan, Jarrod hopes that he and Nicholas can get to know one each other again. Suddenly, Jarrod hears the door open and Nicholas shuffle into the estate.

"There you are," Jarrod turns to face Nicholas as he moves into the living room. "I was about to send out a search squad for you."

Nicholas chuckles back to him. "Yea, sorry, I…I guess I lost track of the time."

"It's all good, a text would have been appreciated though," Jarrod tells him before he takes another sip of his cocktail. "I was worried about you."

Nicholas moves up to Jarrod and gives him a quick kiss on the lips. "I am sorry that I worried you, next time, I will send you a message if I'm running late."

"Thanks," Jarrod smiles back to him. "What kept you so late, anyways? Just all that paperwork at the One Day House?"

"That and I made a stop on the way home."

Jarrod arches his eyebrow back to him. "A stop? Where did you stop?"

"I…I stopped by Andy's," Nicholas reveals to him as Jarrod's eyes open wider in surprise. "I…I don't know why, but I thought if I spoke to Andy again about his drinking that he would listen to me and put the bottle down."

"And? How did that turn out?" Jarrod asks him quickly.

"He basically kicked me out and told me to never come back," Nicholas admits with a heavy heart. "And I know what you're going to say, it is Andy's decision to make, but I still can't help but feel responsible for all of this happening."

"You're a caring man," Jarrod tells him. "And it's okay that you still care for Andy, Nicholas. You two shared something very special."

"Thanks for understanding."

"But," Jarrod says as they lock eyes with one another. "I do think you need to follow Andy's lead on this. If he doesn't want to see you, you need to respect his decision and leave him alone. He's a big boy, he has to figure this drinking situation out for himself."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

The restaurant is still buzzing with many citizens of Twin Peaks finishing their dinners with some evening cocktails or wine before they call it a night. At the bar, Logan and Andy sit next to one another, each with a drink in front of them. They decided to catch up over a couple of drinks, which they both know could easily lead to many more.

"Thanks for having this drink with me," Andy looks over at his younger lover. "I thought it would nice to see you so we can talk more about our….well, you know."

Logan chuckles back to him. "Yea, I know what you're talking about," he winks back to him. "Appreciate you being discrete though, I don't want anyone to know."

"I get it," Andy nods back to him. "I was like that for a long time too. In fact, to hide my sexuality, I even pretended to my best friend's baby daddy."

"Wait, what?" Logan asks him in surprise with a giggle. "You didn't?"

"I did," Andy tells him. "It was a long time ago and, thankfully, I finally realized who I am and started living my truth."

"That's awesome to hear," Logan tells him before he takes a sip of his drink.

"So, uh, I was thinking about something," Andy replies to him as they look at one another. "If you want, we could try that again…you know…"

"Sex?" Logan whispers back to him.

"Yea," Andy nods to him. "But this time, we can be sober. And that way you can actually tell if you like it or not. If not, not harm, no foul. And if you do…"

"We could do it again?" Logan chuckles back to him.

"Just think about it, okay?" Andy asks him as Logan nods back to him.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the restaurant, Meggan enters and, immediately, sees her son sitting next to Andy with drinks in front of them. She arches her eyebrow at the sight.

"Andy is drinking again?" she asks herself in surprise. "And he's with Logan? Oh no, this won't end well for my son. I have to put an end to this."

***

Cory puts his napkin down on his plate to signal to the waiter that he is finished with his meal. Then, he takes a sip of his wine and looks over at Robin as they continue to finish their dinner together. He is just thrilled that things are, seemingly, getting back on track between him and Robin as he knows he really messed things up the previous year when he slept with Penny.

"Are you sure you don't want any dessert?" Cory asks his lover as they lock eyes with one another.

"I don't think I could eat another bite, even if I tried," she giggles back to him. "How about you?"

"I am in the same boat as you," he admits to her. "Besides, I was hoping we could head back to the penthouse and…"

"Cory!" Robin gasps back to him in surprise. "Are you suggesting we have each other for dessert instead?"

Cory shrugs back to her. "Would that be so terrible?"

"No, it wouldn't," she winks back to him. "I…I like that idea."

"I'll ask for the cheque then," he tells her quickly.

"Before we leave," Robin says as they lock eyes with one another. "I do want you to know that I am moving past everything that happened last year with Penny, Cory. Us spending time together and growing closer, it means everything to me. And I want you to know that I forgive you, and I just want us to move on from that."

"I want that too," he smiles back to her. "More than you'll ever know."

***

At the back table, Abby sits alone with a cocktail in front of her. She and Ethan had been dining together when they started talking about his marriage proposal to her; she continued to have fears that his family would not react in the best way because of her history with them. Ethan, however, told her that he didn't care what his family, or anyone, thought, but when Abby still didn't give him an answer to the proposal, he left. She hopes that they are going to be okay, but she just doesn't know if she can commit to marriage right now.

"You look a million miles away," a voice calls out causing her to snap back into reality. Abby looks up and sees Max sitting across from her. "Want to talk about it?"

"Max, hey," Abby looks back at her friend. "I didn't see you come in."

"Clearly not," he replies to her. "I thought I'd come by for a drink before heading home to relieve the babysitter."

"Ah, how is Olly?"

"Fast asleep," Max replies to her. "Which is why I thought a drink wouldn't hurt. So, what's going on? Why do you look like you lost your best friend?"

Abby gulps back to him. "Because I might have. I think I lost Ethan."

"What, why? How?"

"You won't believe this," Abby leans forward to talk to him. "But he proposed to me tonight."

The words hit Max like a ton of bricks. The last thing he thought Abby would tell him is that Ethan asked her to marry him. He knows that Abby and Ethan have been together for a long time, but if he is honest with himself, the amount of time he and Abby have been spending together with Olly have stirred up some old feelings that he has had for her. Which makes him realize that the feelings he is experiencing are jealousy.

"Whoa," Max finally replies to her. "But wait, if he proposed to you….why do you think you lost him?"

"I haven't said yes," Abby tells him as Max's eyes open wider in surprise. "I mean, if you think about my history with Leah, Paige, and especially, Dominick, do you really think that they will be happy about this marriage? Because I don't. And I don't want that drama in my life. I want to focus on my relationship with Ethan and my children."

"And Ethan was upset that you didn't answer him?" he asks her she nods back to him. "I mean, Abby, if you want my opinion, I see why he is upset. He proposed to you and you, well, you kinda left him hanging there," Max chuckles to him. "I think you have to tell him one way or another what you want for your future, and if that's not marriage, then you have to prepare yourself that you might just lose him for good this time."

***

Across the room, in the other corner of the restaurant, Daisy sits with a glass of red wine in front of her. She is expecting Leah to arrive anytime to give her an update on her request to have her bring Felicia back to Twin Peaks. Daisy knows that Frederick will only help Dawn come out of her brainwashed state if Felicia is back in town, which is why Daisy asked Leah and Bryce to talk to the Robertson's about this happening. She just hopes that Dominick has agreed to come back to Twin Peaks because Cheresa feels like she is losing hope with Dawn.

"Sorry I'm late," Leah announces as she arrives at the table and sits across from Daisy. "I hope you weren't waiting too long."

"Not at all," Daisy replies to her with pursed lips. "And it gave me an excuse to order a glass of the Merlot, it is one of my favorites."

"Me too," Leah chuckles back to her.

"So, I am going to assume that you have an update on Dominick and Felicia? Have you spoken to them since you first told him what was going on?"

"I actually got a call from my father earlier this evening," Leah tells her quickly. "And, he has agreed to bring Felicia back to Twin Peaks. So, you can tell Frederick that he can start to help Dawn, because by the end of the week, my father and mother should be home."

"Oh my goodness," Daisy gasps as she covers her mouth. "Thank you, Leah. Thank you so much. Cheresa is going to be thrilled by this news!"

The Tower's; Floor Eight; Victoria's Condo

"I thought we could finish our conversation in private," Jeff tells Victoria as he comes into the living room of her condo with two glasses of red wine. They had been having a late dinner at the Pink Flamingo, where Jeff revealed to Victoria that he didn't go on a business trip when he was away for a couple of days, instead, he lied to her and told her he went to talk to Dominick and Felicia about helping Dawn. He knew this story would land better, which it did because she believed him. He knows that he can't tell her the truth: that Leah and Bryce kidnapped him and held him hostage until he would agree to help them figure out if Victoria was the one who framed Leah at Robertson Enterprises all those months ago. Jeff and Victoria, then, agreed to move forward, but he told her that he had some questions for her.

"Thanks for the wine," Victoria tells him as he sits next to her. "And you said you had some questions for me? I guess you want answers before we could move forward?"

"That's right," Jeff nods back to her as he takes a sip of his wine and looks back at her.

"I am curious," Victoria says with a chuckle. "What questions could you have? I think I've been an open book with you?"

"You have," Jeff agrees with her. "There's just always been something in the back of my mind, and I thought since I had to come clean with you, you could do the same with me?"

"What has been in the back of your mind? I'm scared."

"There's no need to be scared," Jeff chuckles back to her. "I just want you to be honest with me."

"Sure," Victoria takes another sip of her wine as she braces herself for what is coming next.

"Well, as we know, Leah was fired from Robertson Enterprises," Jeff begins to tell her as Victoria nods back to her. "Because of that missing or stolen funds from the offshore account."

"I remember," Victoria nods back to him. "Tyler had that internal investigation which came up with nothing other than that Leah took that money."

"Yea," Jeff continues. "But the truth is, I don't believe that Leah would have ever stolen from her family's company. And I know you and her have a heated history because, at the time, she was furious that you were married to Bryce."

"I don't know what you're getting at," Victoria tells him quickly.

"Did you set Leah up? Did you frame her? Did you make it look like Leah stole that money so you could get out of the company?" Jeff asks her as Victoria looks back at him in absolute shock.

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

"Thanks so much for letting me stop by, I…I didn't want to go home yet," Stephanie tells Cheresa as the friends sit next to one another on the sofa in the living room of the Lawson mansion. Stephanie had hoped to grab dinner at the Pink Flamingo, but when she arrived, she saw Cassie sitting by herself. Stephanie assumed that Cassie was waiting for Jacob to tell her the big news: she is pregnant with his baby. The last thing that Stephanie wanted was to see them together, so she asked Cheresa if she could come by.

"I get that," Cheresa looks back at her friend. "And to be honest, I'm glad that you did. I…I could use the distraction from Dawn and her parents."

"There's been no change with her?" Stephanie asks her quickly.

"None, and while I love her parents, being around them all the time is wearing thin," Cheresa chuckles back to her.

"I thought they were staying with you?"

"Oh, they are," Cheresa nods back to her. "But they went to bed hours ago."

"Ah, well I do hope that things get better for you and Dawn soon," Stephanie tells her. "I'm here if you need anything."

"Thanks, I really appreciate that. What's going on with you? Why didn't you want to go home?"

Stephanie arches her eyebrow back to her. "You know that there was that thorn in my side?"

"You said that you cared for a guy but he is taken but the woman he's with isn't exactly ideal," Cheresa recalls their previous conversation.

"That's right," Stephanie nods back to her. "The truth is, I found out something about her that could really change the dynamic of their relationship."

"Then tell him?"

"I could," Stephanie sighs. "But she is pregnant with his child. So I don't know that I should rock that boat right now, you know?"

"She's pregnant?" Cheresa looks back at her in surprise. "I can see how that changes things for sure."

"I…I just feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place," Stephanie admits to her. "And I have no idea what to do now."

The Cascade Apartments; Cassie, Jacob, & Carter's Apartment

Cassie steps off the small elevator at the Cascade apartments and slowly walks towards her apartment that she lives in with Jacob and Carter. She feels her heart racing inside her chest as she learned that she is pregnant earlier in the day. On one hand, she is thrilled because she wanted to have a child with Jacob more than anything else in the world, but she also knows that he told her that he didn't know if he wanted another child. Despite him telling her that, Cassie, secretly, stopped taking her birth control, and now she is with child. She has been telling herself that he will be happy by this "accident", but doubt has creeped into her mind and, now, she isn't sure how he will react.

"He will be happy, he will be happy," she whispers to herself as she unlocks the door. "He has to be happy."

She opens the door and moves inside. As she hangs up her coat, Jacob, who is only wearing some grey sweatpants, comes into the kitchen. "There you are," he says with a smile. "Where have you been?"

"Sorry, I'm late, I…I had a doctor's appointment, and then I needed time to think," she looks back at him.

"A doctor's appointment?" Jacob asks her in concern. "Are you okay, Cassie? What's going on with you? Please tell me that you're okay!"
