Twin Peaks International Airport

Paige rushes into the airport and looks around. She had been at the Sugarbowl where she saw Eva, who looked upset. As she was trying to comfort Eva, she learned that Will was going to leave town. Once Paige learned this from Eva, she raced to the airport because she felt like she had to see him before he left. She knows that deep down he is leaving because of her; she is the one who wanted to give their child up for adoption, and once she won the lawsuit he filed against her, she could see that he was heartbroken.

As she scans the airport, however, there is a siren going off, meaning no one else is going through security as there was some kind of breach. Paige moves her hands to her ears to cover them from the siren that continues to buzz throughout the airport. She pauses when she sees Will coming out of the security line up, as no one else is being processed until the security breach is corrected.

"Paige?" Will asks in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I…I ran into Eva," she admits to him. "You're leaving town?"

"Let's go outside? Get out of this noise?" Will asks her as she nods back to them. Together, they race to the door, and both breath a sigh of relief to be away from the sirens.

"So, it's true? You're leaving Twin Peaks?" Paige asks him now that they can hear each other.

"I am," Will looks back at her. "I am leaving town and I am never coming back."

***

Meanwhile, on the second level of the airport, Robbie and Kim lay on the ground facing one another. They were talking as Tyler was dealing with an airline attendant when the alarm bells started to ring. Suddenly, three armed police officers entered the arear and told everyone to get to drop to the ground. The guards are still looking for the person, or persons, so everyone is still on the ground awaiting next steps.

"This is insane," Kim whispers over to her former husband. "I've never seen anything like this."

"Neither have I," Robbie whispers back to her. "I just hope they find this person because this isn't the most ideal situation to be in right now."

"Well, we can still talk?" Kim says back to him. "What is this information that you need to tell me? You've been trying to tell me for a while now."

"It's a long story," Robbie admits to her. "Please Kim, don't go to Paris. When you find out what I have to say, you're not going to want to leave anyways."

"I'm going on a honeymoon with my husband," Kim reminds him. "That is important to me."

Before Robbie can respond, one of the officers grabs a woman, who shrieks out loud. Everyone looks over and sees the guards taking her away as she fights them. Within a few minutes, the sirens stop and everyone stands up.

"Kim, my God, are you okay?" Tyler rushes up to his wife and hugs her.

"I'm fine, just a little spooked, but we are good," Kim looks back at him. "Did you get your ticket resolved?"

"I did, and we can board now," Tyler tells her. "Come on, let's go start our honeymoon."

"Kim, please," Robbie pleads with her. "You…you can't go! Not until you've heard what I have to say."

The Park

"Stephanie, hey," Jacob says as he moves up to Stephanie, who was sitting on a park bench that overlooks the river. He had been on a coffee run before he was going to go back to Roboto but he saw Stephanie sitting by herself on the bench.

"Jacob, hi," Stephanie uneasily looks back at him. She had been debating whether or not she should tell Jacob the truth about Cassie: she had a paternity test when she was pregnant with Carter, which leads her to wonder if Jacob is really his father. Of course, Stephanie would love to use this against Cassie because she has been blackmailing her into staying away from Jacob because she found out that she is a transwoman. The fact that Cassie is, again, pregnant has been the piece that has left Stephanie torn; the last thing she wants is to hurt an unborn child.

"I was just headed to the coffeehouse, do you want to join me?"

"I…uh…I don't think that's a good idea," Stephanie admits to him. "We agreed to not hang out anymore, remember?"

"How could I forget?" Jacob uneasily chuckles to her. "The truth is, I never understood why you wanted to stop seeing me. I…I thought we were friends."

"We were," Stephanie nods back to him. "Fine, you want the truth Jacob?"

"Of course, I do."

"Okay," Stephanie locks eyes with him. "The truth is, I was starting to have feelings for you, very strong feelings. And so, this separation, it's been very hard on me. That's the truth," Stephanie shocks Jacob by revealing her true feelings to him.

The Riverbench Winery, Santa Barbara

The Uber that Daisy is sitting in the back of slowly pulls up to the winery. As she sees the large estate, memories come flooding back to her. Years earlier, she had used the venue to have a double wedding between her and Vinny and Meggan and Jeff. A huge rainstorm came but the ceremony did take place. Shortly after, it was revealed that Leah was alive, which dampened Meggan and Jeff's union. It was also the time that Jemma revealed that she was Daisy's mother, not Aunt, which left her rattled.

Of course, years later, Vinny snapped and went crazy and tried to kill her. Of course, before this happened, she slept with him and ended up pregnant. After Vinny's death, Daisy struggled to know what to do about her pregnancy, and that is when she had her abortion. This sent her into a tailspin as she ended up working at the casino as a call girl. She still can't believe that she was selling herself for money. The one good thing that came from that time of her life is her relationship with Andrew.

And now, she will be reunited with Andrew since she knows that he came to the winery weeks earlier. She just hopes that he is okay with her being there; after all, it is just for work since Frederick needs her to review some contracts for him.

"And maybe," she whispers to herself. "This could be the start of us reuniting. At least I hope so."

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

Andy moves to the bar in his condo and he, immediately, pours himself a whiskey. He swallows it down in one gulp before he pours himself a second drink. His mind is rattled by the fact that he and Logan were about to have sex when his parents, Meggan & Jeff, walked in and saw them. Meggan lost it on Andy and slapped him; she believes that Andy is taking advantage of Logan, which couldn't be further from the truth.

"That woman has some nerve," he whispers to himself. "She was drinking just a few weeks ago and killed Logan's unborn child and she has the nerve to come here and tell me to stay away from her grown son? Oh man."

He shuts his eyes and still feels his hands on Logan's body; he was feeling so good and they were about to go to the next level when they were interrupted.

"I just hope Logan is holding up alright," he says as he pours another drink. "Because he is going to have a lot of explaining to do."

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

"I can't believe you two just walked into Andy's condo and then his bedroom," Logan huffs to his parents as he storms into the living room of the house that he lives in with his mother and Donovan. He is mortified by the fact that his parents broke into Andy's and interrupted them about to have sex. Logan knows that he and Andy were going to have sex because the first time that they had sex they were drunk; they purposely were sober this go-around to see how he felt after. But to have his parents walk in has left him embarrassed. "What the hell were you thinking?"

Meggan watches as her son pours a drink at the bar. "What were we thinking? I could ask you the same thing!"

"Let's just try to stay calm here," Jeff tries to ease the tension between mother and son. "Logan, what's going on? Let's start with that?"

"What do you mean?" Logan takes a sip of his vodka spritzer. "I am living my life, am I not allowed to do that?"

"I've warned you and Andy to stay away from one another," Meggan continues to lash out at him. "Don't you see, he's a drunk, Logan! Anything could happen with him! And it almost did."

"Ugh," Logan groans back to him. "How many times do I have to tell you that you have no room to talk, mother. You were a drunk just a few weeks ago! Stop attacking Andy for his drinking."

"You two need to calm down, this isn't going to get us anywhere," Jeff continues to try to play the referee.

"The fact is," Meggan glares back at her son. "I will not let Andy hurt you, not ever again. And I know exactly how to ensure that happens."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Sergio and Nicholas remain at the bar with some drinks in front of them. Earlier Sergio was with Donovan when they saw Nicholas arrive at the restaurant looking depressed. They asked their friend what was wrong and Nicholas revealed that Jarrod moved out of the mansion because he felt like they were connecting the way that they used too. Nicholas knows that they have been sparring a little because Nicholas has been feeling guilty over Andy's drinking, but he never believed that Jarrod would move out.

"How are you feeling? Any better?" Sergio asks Nicholas before he takes a sip of his beer.

"Not really," Nicholas replies to him quickly. "Having your boyfriend move out isn't exactly a feel-good situation."

"Yea, I'm sorry," Sergio sighs back to him. "I guess that was a shitty question."

"Nah, don't beat yourself up," Nicholas tells him. "I appreciate you keeping me company and trying to make me feel better. The truth is, I did this, and now, I have to live with it."

"Maybe all you and Jarrod need is some time and things will correct themselves? Maybe after a day or two apart, you can come back together?"

Nicholas forces a smile on his face. "Yea, maybe. That would be the ideal, I guess. Thanks again, Sergio."

Twin Peaks Executive Hotel

The elevator doors open and Donovan makes a beeline towards a suite room. While Sergio is with Nicholas, Donovan wanted to come to the hotel and check on Jarrod as he knows his friend is going through a lot right now. It would have taken a lot for Jarrod to move out of the mansion, especially since he was so keen on getting back together with Nicholas when he came back to town last year.

He arrives at the suite door and starts to knock on it. "Jarrod, it's me, Donovan," he says before the door opens and Jarrod sees his friend. "I came as soon as I heard."

"Thanks," Jarrod lets him into the suite before he closes the door behind him. "I'm guessing you saw Nicholas?'

"At the Pink Flamingo," Donovan nods back to him. "He…he said you moved out?"

"I did," Jarrod admits to him. "You know, it's been more of the same old, same old."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean," Jarrod sighs back to him. "He keeps blaming himself for Andy falling off the wagon, despite me telling him, repeatedly, that Andy is an adult and is capable of making his own decisions."

"He blames himself because Andy fell off the wagon after Nicholas decided to choose you," Donovan reminds him. "That's why; it has nothing to do with you."

"It feels like it does," Jarrod explains to him. "Especially since there are other aspects of our relationship that have just been…different…"

"You two were apart for a long time, you both changed and grew in that time," Donovan says. "You need to be more patient with yourselves."

"I just couldn't take it anymore," Jarrod tells him as he moves closer. "And I'm tired of denying how I really feel."

"And how is that?"

"This," Jarrod says before he moves forward and kisses Donovan on the lips. The kiss lingers for a moment before they part ways. "I've wanted to do that since I first saw you, Donovan. And I think, you've wanted it too."

The Calimo Mansion

Sophie lays out in the backyard of the Calimo mansion by the pool. She is only wearing a white bikini and is enjoying the sun, since it is the first really hot day in Twin Peaks. Since Natasha has left for a business meeting, Sophie decided to skip work at Roboto today. Besides, she hopes that she can use this as a way to further her plan to seduce Shane.

Just a few days earlier, she planned to step out of the shower and let Shane see her naked. The look on his face continues to be in her memory; it was a mix of confusion, shock, and lust. She knows that her body is probably much younger and tighter than Natasha's, which is why she hopes that her plan will work.

"Soph?" a voice calls out from the French doors that lead into the living room.

Sophie takes her sunglasses off as she sees Shane approaching her. She purses her lips together as she slowly draws up one leg to be bent. "Hey Shane, how's it going?"

"Good, I'm surprised you're here," he admits to her as he sits next to her. "I thought you'd be at work?"

"I decided to take a personal day," she replies to him. "I just to have a pool day and a day for myself."

Shane chuckles. "That does sound nice."

"Why don't you join me then?" she suggests.

"It is tempting, I haven't done something like in a very long time," he admits to her.

"Go change then," Sophie smiles back to him. "Come on, it could be…I don't know…fun!"

"Okay, okay," Shane laughs back to her. "I'll go change into my trunks and be right back."

"Come back with some more drinks," she giggles to him, thrilled that her plan is going so well.

The Pier

There is a thick tension in the air as Cheresa stands on the pier with Adam and Helen behind her and in front of her is Tara. They just came face to face as Tara has been released from jail. Moments earlier, Adam and Helen had told Cheresa that they didn't think that the woman who brainwashed Dawn would show her face in town again, but here she is. Just then, Trenyce approaches the group and gasps out in shock.

"What the actual hell is going on here?" she says as she moves up to everyone. "Cheresa what is Tara doing here?"

"I'm out from jail," Tara purses her lips together. "I was just saying hello to Cheresa, and all of her friends."

"We are family," Adam sneers back to her. "We are Dawn Black's parents. You know, the woman that you brainwashed?"

Tara giggles back to them as Trenyce grabs her daughter's hand for support. "I wouldn't have been let out of jail if that was true. It's all…what's that legal word? Hearsay?"

"I'm going to say this once, so you better listen," Cheresa takes a step forward to look at Tara. "You stay the hell away from me and everyone I love, or so help me God, I will make you pay. I will finally make you pay for everything you've done to me and my family."

Tara starts to laugh at the threat coming from Cheresa, as Trenyce, Adam, and Helen look at one another with worry on their faces.
