Twin Peaks General Hospital

The elevator doors open to the main floor of the hospital and Robbie emerges quickly moving towards Stephanie's office. He was at Roboto when the doctor called him and informed him that she got the results of the DNA test that he had completed. He feels his heart racing in his chest as he is about to learn whether or not Madeline's wild claim is true: that Bobby is his son with Kim.

He still has a hard to wrapping his head around the fact that Madeline told him that the night of her car accident with Kim last year, she induced Kim's labour, delivered their son, but when Kim came too, she told her that she had miscarriage and had been raising Bobby as her son ever since. If it's true, he knows that his, Kim's, and Madeline's lives will change forever.

He knocks on the office door and hears a faint, "Come in", so he opens the door and moves inside, where he sees Stephanie sitting behind her desk.

"Hi doc," Robbie says as he moves inside. "I…I got your call."

"Yes, thanks for coming in," Stephanie replies as she removes her glasses. "Please have a seat, Robbie."

Robbie nervously moves forward and sits in a chair that is across from her desk. "So, lay it on me, what does that DNA test say? Was it a match?"

Twin Peaks Police Station

Cheresa sits across from Simona in the detective's office facing one another. Cheresa wanted to see the detective to give her an update on Dawn, because she knows that, despite, Dawn being in the mental ward, she still has multiple charges pending against her because of all the horrific acts she did while she was under the influence of being brainwashed from Tara.

"I am curious to hear what the update is you had for me," Simona admits to Cheresa she looks back at the younger woman. "I am guessing that this has to do with Dawn?"

"Yes, it does," Cheresa nods back to her. "Frederick Richardson has agreed to be Dawn's doctor."

"Really?" Simona asks in surprise. "That seems like a surprise…are you sure Frederick is the best doctor to help Dawn?"

"I do," Cheresa tells her. "He would have the most experience dealing with a brainwashed person. I…I just hope that he is able to breakthrough to her."

"I've been in contact with Dawn's current medical staff and there doesn't appear to be any change."

"There hasn't been," Cheresa admits to her. "Even if with Dawn's parents being back, she remains in her current status. And that's why it's key that Frederick help Dawn. I…I think he's the only one that can."

"I hope that too, I really do," Simona replies to her. "And if I can help with anything, let me know."

Riverbench Winery; The Richardson Estate; Santa Barbara

Andrew stands in the middle of the living room of the winery. He has been there for a couple of weeks now and has been enjoying his time at the estate. The grounds are much larger than he had remembered as he spent many of his youth at the winery. After Savannah, this mother, died, Frederick took Andrew under his wing and he was raised at the winery. Years later, he returned to Twin Peaks, but he always had fond memories of his time in Santa Barbara.

"This has been exactly what I needed," he whispers to himself as he moves to the bar and pours himself a glass of red wine, which is a vintage from two years ago. "Some time away from Chris, Trenyce, and mostly, Daisy."

He still can't believe that Daisy, the woman he was engaged to be married too, changed Tinah's paternity test results to show that Chris, not him, was her father. As a result, he lost months with his daughter, and went on believing that he wasn't a father. This was a devastating blow to him as he also learned that Olly wasn't his son at the same time. While he has been civil to Daisy, deep down, he hasn't forgiven her yet, and has no idea if he ever will.

"Being back at the winery," he says before he takes a sip of his wine. "It's bringing back so many fond times, and that's exactly what I needed. I needed to get back to my roots. I just hope that one day I will be able to move on from what happened in Twin Peaks."

As he takes another sip of wine, he doesn't notice that there is a figure behind him, watching his every move. He turns around, but the figure disappears into the hallway, so Andrew had no idea that he was being watched by someone else that is at the winery.

The Calimo Mansion

Shane finishes pouring two scotches and then walks back to the sofa where he passes one to Jacob, who is sitting there. Shane was rather alarmed when Jacob arrived at the mansion desperate to talk to his father. Shane has no idea what has Jacob so upset, but he wants to know why.

"Alright, you wanted a drink and I gave you one," Shane looks over at his son, who takes a hearty sip of this scotch. "What's going on, Jacob?"

"You won't believe it," Jacob sighs back to him. "But Cassie is pregnant."

The previous evening, Cassie returned home rather late and she had admitted that she had a medical appointment. Jacob pressed her for what she needed to see the doctor but they agreed to park the conversation to the morning. A few hours ago, Cassie admitted that she was carrying his child, which threw Jacob for a loop because he told his wife he didn't want more children.

"Wow," Shane nervously responds to him. "How did that happen?"

"She claims it was just an accident," Jacob replies to him quickly. "She was on birth control, so it must have been that…an accident."

"How did you react to the news?" Shane asks him next.

"I walked out," Jacob reveals to him. "I just left because my head was spinning; I don't know what I'm going to do."

"I see," Shane looks back at him. "How do you think that made your wife feel?"

"What do you mean?"

"Cassie is your wife," Shane reminds him. "And she told you that you two are having a baby. And your reaction was to walk out on her? I don't know, son, that doesn't seem like you're going to win husband of the year any time soon."

"Dad, I told her I didn't want anymore children!"

"And you still slept with her," Shane tells him. "Look, I'm going to give you some tough love here, Jacob. I think you are acting like a brat right now. If a man and woman are together, there is always a chance that a baby could happen from that. And I know you, I know the kind of man you are, you aren't going to abandon your child; you can't do that."

"I really screwed this up, didn't I?" Jacob sighs back to him.

"I think you need to talk to your wife," Shane tells him. "You two need to solve this together, that's the only option you have."

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

"And then…he just walked out!" Cassie shrieks at Max as she paces back and forth in the living room of the apartment that she lives in with Jacob and their son. Cassie just finished telling her older son that she is pregnant and when she told Jacob, he stormed out because he had told he didn't want any other children.

"He left?" a stunned Max asks her quickly. "All because he had told you he didn't want more children?"

"I don't know what to do, Max," Cassie admits to him. "Here I am, pregnant with Jacob's baby, and he left me."

"Your husband is an asshole," Max chuckles to her as Cassie shoots him a deadly glare. "Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just think Jacob has always been very entitled."

"You're really not helping right now!"

"I'm sorry," Max stands up and pulls his mother into a hug. "For what it's worth, I'm thrilled that I'm going to be a brother again. Congratulations."

"Thanks Max," Cassie forces a smile on her face as they exit their embrace. "I…I just don't know what I am going to do."

"Give Jacob some time to cool down," Max tells her. "Once he does that, he will come back and you two can talk this out. And after, you can put him on blast for walking out on you, because Mom, that's not cool, and you shouldn't have to take that. Not from Jacob, not from anyone."

Robertson Enterprises

Jeff steps off the elevator at Robertson Enterprises and makes a beeline for Victoria's office. They had been talking the previous evening when Jeff asked her if she framed Leah for the missing funds from Robertson all those months ago. At the time, Jeff could tell that the question threw Victoria for a loop and she quickly denied it. Something in his gut, though, is telling him to continue to press her for more questions.

"Knock, knock," he says as he opens her office door and see Victoria sitting behind her desk. "How is it going?"

"Good," Victoria replies to him quickly. "I am just looking over some reports for the upcoming spring launch of RELax; I think it will be another hit."

"Oh that's great," Jeff smiles back to her. "I also have some good news; Paige, she won her court case."

"You must be relieved," Victoria looks back at him as he nods to her.

"I am, mostly because I know how much it meant to her," Jeff tells her. "But now that all of that is over, you and I can continue our conversation."

"Which conversation is that?" Victoria looks back at him with an arched eyebrow.

"About my question about you framing Leah last year," Jeff reminds her. "You never did give me a solid answer."

"I…I guess I don't understand," Victoria admits to him as she stands up and moves to her bar to pour herself a glass of water. "Where is this coming from? After all this time, Jeff, why are you asking me about this now?"

"It's always been in my mind," Jeff reveals to her. "The truth is, I never believed Leah stole from her family company and wondered if you had something to do with it. So, I'll ask you again, Vic, did you frame Leah? Did you make it appear that she stole from her family?"

***

Meanwhile, in the CEO office, Tyler sits behind his desk typing into his laptop. His mind, however, is racing over the fac that the altered the DNA that Robbie was running on Kim and Bobby. He feels lucky that he overheard Robbie's phone with the hospital at the Sugarbowl recently, otherwise, he wouldn't have known about the test. Once he learned about the test, he knew that he had to change the results because he doesn't want to lose Kim to Robbie; that is the last thing he wants to have happen.

"You look busy, is this a bad time?" Madeline asks as she opens the door to his office and moves inside.

"Nah, I have some time," Tyler looks back at her as he stands up from his chair. "How are you doing? The last time we saw one another, you told me that you told Robbie the truth."

"I did," Madeline circle around with arms stretched out. "And I feel amazing. All the weight of the guilt I was carrying is gone, Tyler. I…I feel like I can breathe again."

"I'm glad for you," Tyler nods back to her. "But…I did something, Maddie. I had to do something to protect myself and my marriage to Kim."

"What do you mean by that?" Madeline asks him quickly.

"I can't say," he tells her. "But the truth, it won't come out. I can't let it. And now that you've told your truth, you can be happy and content, and I…I can keep my wife. That's how this has to end, Madeline, because I won't lose Kim. I can't."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Please don't keep me waiting," an impatient Robbie looks back at Stephanie as they continue to sit across from one another in her office.

"Yes, before I get to that," Stephanie replies to him. "I wanted you to know that I actually ran the test a second time."

Robbie arches his eyebrow back to her. "You ran the test twice? Why?"

"The first time, I noticed some discrepancies," Stephanie admits to him. "I was involved in another DNA test last year and I didn't want a similar situation to happen here with false results."

"Alright," Robbie nods back to her. "So, these results, they are foul proof?"

"Yes, I believe so."

"And what to do they say? Were those DNA samples a match?"

"Yes," Stephanie tells him. "They were a perfect match."

Robbie feels the blood drain from his face as he puts his hand over his mouth in shock. "It's true," he whispers to himself as tears flood his eyes. "Bobby is my son…with Kim…."
