Scene One - Roboto; Bob's Office

"I don't care what it takes," Bob says sternly into his phone while sitting at his desk. "My chemist needs that order and she needs it today. Do not disappoint me."

He hangs up the phone and turns as he heard someone open his office door while he was on the phone. He sees Eva, who walks fully into his office. "Sorry to interrupt. It seemed like heated discussion."

Bob smiles at the woman that he had an affair with years ago. It happened so long ago, it almost feels like another life time. So much has happened to both of them since that time. In fact, Bob almost wonders why Eva is in his office; he has heard rumours that she is sleeping with Dominick, something that makes his skin crawl. He can't imagine what Dominick's lover would want with him.

"Just another day in the business world," Bob says as he stands up and walks up to Eva. "It's nice to see you Eva. What brings you by today? It's not Natasha, I hope."

Eva quickly shakes her head knowing that their daughter is not the reason that she has come to see her former lover. "No, the last time I spoke to Natasha she was fine. I think she's still worried about Cassie Nova's disappearance but otherwise she's alright."

"I still can't believe that she has seemingly vanished. I should see if my men can track her down," Bob replies to her, trying to make small talk.

"I'm sure Natasha would appreciate that very much," Eva says to him. "There is something that I wanted to discuss with you and I believe it's quite important."

"You have my attention," Bob says back to her as he arches his eyebrow. "What's going on?"

"I am sure that you've heard that Dominick and I have started a … relationship," Eva bites her lip hoping the name of Bob's rival doesn't set him off. She knows how heated the men get with each other. "I can't tell you what Felicia being alive has done to me."

Bob shrugs his shoulders at her comments. "I'm sorry that you have been hurt by the fact that Felicia is alive and well," he tells her. "But maybe this is a sign for everyone to realize that Dominick Robertson is not the man he claims he is. He has kept that woman locked up for years. He has kept his children away from their mother. Who does that?"

"I know all of this," Eva whispers back to him as she feels her heart sink.

"I'm not sure what you want me to do Eva. Why did you really come here?"

Eva looks at him and pauses for a moment. "Dominick has done some horrible things to you and your family, I understand that," she tells him as she grabs his hand. "And you have done some horrible things to him and his family. When is it enough Bob? When will this feud end?"

Bob sighs and looks back at her. "Dominick and I will never like each other Eva. And that is an understatement."

"That doesn't mean you have to hurt each other and destroy everyone in each other's lives. Think about all the hurt you have caused each other and everyone around the two of you. I'm not asking you to like each other. I'm asking you to end the feud, before it goes too far."

Bob smiles back at her as he can see how hurt she has been by this. "Don't answer me," Eva says back to him before he has the chance to speak. "Just think about what I said, okay?"

Scene Two - The Robertson House; Jeff, Leah & Paige's Home

"How is Felicia?" Jeff asks Leah as he pours himself another cup of coffee. It's not exactly how he envisioned the first few days after their wedding; still being at home and not married. He was expecting to be on a honeymoon with his new bride by this point of their lives together. He knows how much it must mean to Leah, however, to have her mother back. She spoke so often about how much she missed having Felicia around. Everyone is still adjusting to the news.

Leah shrugs her shoulders. "She's still sleeping. After what Dominick told me, I don't know if she will ever be alright again. Schizophrenia is a horrible disease."

Jeff moves to the table and sits across from her. "I can't imagine what you're going through Leah. On one hand, you must be overjoyed that your mother is alive. But on the other hand…"

"I will never have a real relationship with her? Is that what you are going to say?" Leah asks, biting her lip. The last thing she wants to do is start to cry over this. It is not something she can change but she still hates it none the less.

"The relationship you make with your mother is still whatever you make of it. Of course, it will never be the traditional relationship, but you still can have a relationship with her. You have to believe in that."

"I don't know what to believe anymore. I certainly never thought my father would ever hurt me like this."

Jeff grabs her hand and squeezes it. "I know. We should probably look into some kind of care facility for Felicia. Surely in her state, she can't stay here for very long."

Leah nods her head she wipes some tears from her eyes. "You're probably right. I just hate the thought of losing her again when I just got her back. My father did say she could function on her medication."

"You won't lose her. Not ever again," Jeff tells her. "I was also thinking. Maybe we should get married. I still want to be your husband and I want you to be my wife. It could be the happiness that this family needs right now."

Leah sighs and looks back to him with her damp eyes. "I'd like that too. I just think that right now I need to focus on mom and make sure she's okay. Once everything's settled, we'll get married, okay?"

Jeff gulps and nods back to her, not liking the waiting game. After everything they've been through, he just wants to be together already. "Okay, once she's settled."

Scene Three - The Towers, Floor Eight; Victoria's Condo

"Eva told you all of that?" Robbie asks Victoria as they sit on the sofa drinking their orange juice and coffee. They just started their morning and Victoria is recapping how Eva told her and Donovan about Felicia being alive. Robbie is floored; he was married to Leah for so many years he can't imagine what it's doing to her to learn that her mother didn't die like she thought. Despite their marriage ending, Robbie will always care for Leah. "I wonder how Leah is holding up."

Victoria nods back to her lover. "Apparently that's where Dominick went when he disappeared a few months ago. He was in Switzerland visiting Felicia in the hospital that she was staying at."

Robbie shakes his head in disbelief. "I'm stunned," he admits to Victoria. "I never thought Dominick would do something like this. He's always put Leah and Robin before anything."

"According to Eva, that's why he did it. Dominick didn't want Leah to grow up with an unwell mother. Felicia will never get better so he didn't want Leah to go through that."

"I don't think that was his decision to make. Dominick can't play God with people's lives," Robbie quickly says back before he realizes that his tone may have been harsh. "Sorry, I know it's not your fault."

"It is okay Robbie," Victoria smiles back to him. "I know that you spent a lot of your life with Leah. It's only natural that you care about what happens to her now. This is a huge, life changing event for her."

"Yea, and Paige. I mean, she has a Grandmother now. That must be shocking and confusing for her as well. She's had to go through so much change in her life too. She's so young and has been through so much already."

Victoria looks over at Robbie and realizes that he still isn't over the fact that he's not Paige's father. And how could he be? For the first three years of Paige's life, he was lead to believe that he was her father. That wouldn't change overnight even though the truth came out over a year and a half ago. The feelings wouldn't just go away, if they ever would.

"Why don't you call Leah?" Victoria finds herself saying, surprising herself in the process. "You can make sure she's okay and maybe even see if you could visit Paige. I'm sure she'd like to see you just as much as you'd like to see her."

Robbie looks back at her with surprise in his eyes. "You'd be okay with that?"

Victoria smiles at him. "After everything we've been through the last couple of years, I think its time we start healing and mending bridges. I think you getting to see Paige would be a great step in that direction."

Robbie leans up to her and kisses her on the lips. "You're wonderful, you know that?"

Victoria smiles back at him. "Keep telling me that, I like hearing it."

Scene Four - The Black House; Adam, Helen & Paige's Home

"So just like that, the police are calling off the search?" Helen asks Adam in disbelief at what he just shared with her. She is shocked that the police will not search for the woman that held her hostage and took her over her life for so long. The fact that Cassie is still out there somewhere scares Helen to the very core of her being. At any time, the woman could come back and try to kidnap her again and take over her life.

"I said the very thing to Robbie when he told me," Adam says back to her. "I voiced my fears, which are our fears."

"This is unacceptable Adam!" Helen replies to him, trying to stay calm because she knows that it's not his fault that the police called off the search. "We have to do something!"

"I don't know what we could possibly do," Adam reports back to her. "Robbie basically said that every day that passes, Cassie is getting further and further away from Twin Peaks. The police don't seem to think that she would come back here right now."

"What do they know? I'm the one that has to be worried," Helen continues to be upset by the news. "I'm the one whose face Cassie stole!"

"I know Helen," Adam replies to her. "Maybe we should move back to the condo in the Towers? That way there is a front door man. We would have more security."

"I hate that we have to change our life because the police won't find Cassie," Helen spits, not wanting Cassie to win. "I think we should not be victims. We aren't moving back to the condo. We are staying right here."

"What are you saying Helen?" Adam asks her as he raises his eyebrow.

"I think we should take matters in our own hands. Let's find Cassie and your child on our own. If the police won't help us, so be it. We can hire an investigator. It might take some time, but I believe we will find Cassie."

"And my child," Adam says back to her knowing that he doesn't want his son or daughter to be raised by Cassie. "You really want to do this Helen? You want to help me find my child?"

Helen moves up to her husband. "Of course I do. We can't allow that monster to raise your baby. We have to find her. We have too."

Scene Five - The Pampa Grill

"So no news yet?" Reese asks Savannah as they sit across from each other in the restaurant. Reese recalls how Savannah confided into him that the paternity test on Andrew happened the other day. Now, everyone is simply waiting for the hospital to call and advise that the results are in. This is the hard part; when your mind has the chance to think about all of the what if's.

Savannah shakes her head no and picks up her bloody mary. She takes a drink and then sets her glass back down. "I'm expecting the results anytime though. The waiting is killing me."

Reese nods back to her. "I know that it's been hard. Just know that this will all be over very soon."

"Will it?" Savannah asks him back. "What if Andrew isn't my son? Then I'm back at square one not knowing where he is."

"You can't think that way Savannah. All we can do it live in the present. Should Andrew not be your son, you have to move forward from there."

"I don't know how," Savannah admits to him.

"I'll tell you what," Reese says back to her, knowing that he has to try to cheer her up. "After the test results come back, if Andrew isn't your son you and I will go see my sister Madeline. She's a private investigator. We'll give her all the details and we'll see if she can help out."

Savannah bites her lip knowing that Madeline, or Patricia as she knows her, will probably be the last one that will want to help her, especially since she thinks Madeline helped with the stealing of her child. "Thanks Reese," she replies to her friend.

Before Reese can say anything back, he turns his head and gulps. Walking into the restaurant are Trenyce, Daisy and Vinny. They are obviously coming in for lunch, just as he and Savannah have. Savannah notices Reese looking over her shoulder, so she turns around. "What is it?" she asks before she spots the three of them entering. "Oh," she replies turning back to him. "I hate that I'm hurting them."

"The truth needs to come out," he says back to her, encouraging her to be strong.

***

"I just saw Savannah," Trenyce informs Daisy and Vinny as they walk towards their seats.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" Vinny asks Trenyce, as they reach their table, knowing that Trenyce has an edge with Savannah lately and rightfully so.

She shakes her head no. "We are bound to run into each other at some point. This town isn't big enough for everyone."

Daisy laughs a little. "You're right, we have to get used to running into Savannah. We can't hide from her. And besides, right now we are all playing the waiting game."

Trenyce fakes a smile and she looks over at Savannah and Reese. Savannah happens to look over at the same time and the two women stare at each other for moment. Trenyce snaps back out of it when she hears her phone ring.

"Hello," she says into the telephone. "Yes, this is her … Oh, it is. Thank you, thank you so much."

Trenyce hangs up the phone and slowly puts in on the table. Daisy looks at her niece. "Trenyce? What is it? Who was on the telephone."

Trenyce looks up at her Aunt. "It was the hospital. The results are back. We'll find out the truth by the end of the day."

***

Savannah puts her phone down and looks at Reese, who arches his eyebrow. "The results are back," Savannah tells him as her bottom lip starts to quiver. "I'm about to find out if Andrew is my son or not."

"Let's go," Reese tells her as he grabs his jacket. "We may as well get this over with."

Savannah nods her head and stands up. She looks over at Trenyce and they stare at each other for a moment again, both women desperately wanting the same thing: for Andrew to be their son.

Scene Six - Roboto; Bob's Office

Bob sits at his desk trying to review some files, however he finds himself replaying his meeting with Eva earlier in the day. He can't even comprehend ending his feud with Dominick, despite her pleas. He will never be able to forgive that man for his role in Sofia's life. All of that hurt that Dominick's affair with Sofia caused Bob's family is something Bob will never be able to forget. Not now, not ever. The fact that he brought Felicia back is just the tip of the ice berg in his mind. But Bob knows that now he has to take advantage of Dominick being focused on his family and try to regain the upper hand in the corporate battle that they have been engaged in.

Dominick opens the door to Bob's office and slams it shut. "You son of a bitch!" Dominick yells at his rival, causing Bob to get a slight grin on his face.

"How dare you barge into my office!" Bob laughs at him. "I have a company to run."

"I don't care what the hell you're doing right now, you're going to listen to what I have to say," Dominick grinds his teeth back to his rival.

"Make it quick then!" Bob spits back at him.

"I know you think you've won Bob," Dominick begins to tell him. "But just know, that this will blow over. You haven't ruined my family. You think you're so clever bringing Felicia back into our lives but you have no idea the damage that you have really caused. You will pay for this Bob. I am promising you right now, you will pay for this."

"Are you done yet?" Bob asks him as Dominick stands up from hovering over his desk. "Good, now get the hell out of my office before I throw you out!"

Dominick walks quickly towards the door. Before he leaves he looks back at Bob, "Just remember what I said Bob. This isn't over. This is just the beginning."

Bob doesn't look over as the door slams shut again. He takes a deep breath as he leans back into his chair. "Game on," he whispers to himself as he gets another grin on his face.

Scene Seven - The Robertson House; Jeff, Leah & Paige's Home

In the guest bedroom upstairs, Felicia opens her eyes and slowly wakes up. She looks around the room, startled at first at her whereabouts. Soon, she recalls that she is in Twin Peaks and at her daughter's house. Everything has happened so quickly, she has a hard time keeping everything right in her mind. Little changes can make her really feel uneasy and unsure about herself and what is going on.

She sits up in the bed and moves her hair behind her ears. "This is a pretty room," says to herself as she moves her legs to the side of the bed. She steps onto the hard wood floor, which creaks a little when she is completely out of the bed. She slowly walks over to the book shelf in the room and picks up a picture of Leah, Jeff and Paige. She studies the picture carefully as the door to the bedroom opens.

Paige comes into the bedroom and looks at Felicia. Felicia turns her head and sees Paige standing there. She quickly puts the picture back down on the shelf. "I'm sorry," she quickly says to the little girl. "You must be Paige?"

Paige nods her head back to her Grandmother, who is a complete stranger at this point to her. "What's wrong with you?" Paige asks her, which ends up confusing Felicia.

Felicia shakes her head. "Nothing is wrong sweetie," she says as she takes a step towards Paige. Paige gets scared and starts to cry suddenly. "Oh no, don't cry, it's okay."

Leah comes rushing upstairs to see what's wrong with Paige. She opens the door and sees Felicia bending over and trying to tend to Paige.

"What's wrong on in here?" Leah asks, concerned as to what Felicia was trying to do with her daughter.

"I'm sorry, she started to cry," Felicia replies, confused by what has happened. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay," Leah says with a warmth in her voice. "Paige, are you okay?"

Paige nods her head. "I think she was just startled because she doesn't know you yet. This will take some time."

"I hope so," Felicia replies as she sits on the bed. "I don't want to cause anyone any harm."

"You aren't Mom," Leah replies as she grabs her hand. "Right, Paige? We want to get to know Grandma."

Felicia smiles as Paige comes up and sits next to her on the bed. "I'd like that very much," Felicia says as she looks back at Leah, her eyes sparkling.

Scene Eight - The Towers, Floor Five; Andy & Craig's Condo

"Man, things were crazy at the Sun this morning," Andy announces to Craig as he enters the condo and sees his boyfriend sitting on the sofa with his Ipad in his hand. "I'm so glad I have the afternoon off."

Craig looks up from the game he was playing and smiles at his lover. "I'm glad you have the afternoon off too. It's not often we both get the same afternoon off from work."

Andy comes over and sits next to him on the sofa. He leans in and gives him a quick kiss on the lips. "It is a rare occurrence. We should do something to celebrate."

Craig grins back to Andy. "What did you have in mind?"

"What do you think I have in mind?" Andy replies to him as he leans in and kisses Craig passionately.

As they kiss, Craig can't help but remember the night he and Reese made love in their condo. It was intense, hot and very passionate. He opens his eyes and sees Andy sitting next to him. Startled, he jumps back causing Andy to arch his eyebrow.

"What's wrong?" Andy asks Craig, confused by his reaction.

"N-Nothing," Craig stumbles out some words. "I guess I was just …"

"Something is going on with you," Andy replies as he folds his arms across his chest. "You've been acting odd for some time now. Talk to me, what's going?"

"I told you nothing is going on! Can you just drop it?" Craig snaps back at Andy, who stands up and walks towards him.

"Not until you tell me what's happening? What has gotten into you?" Andy presses again looking into Craig's eyes.

"I…" Craig starts to say as he sighs and feels his heart break. He can't handle the lies anymore. He can't keep holding everything back. "I cheated on you," he blurts out to a stunned Andy.
