Scene One - Twin Peaks General Hospital

Shane sits at his desk as the bright sun comes through the window creating a warm glow in his office. He has a ton of paper work to catch up on, but he hasn't been able to focus on his job all day. His mind keeps replaying the night of gala over and over again in hopes, that he'll remember something new; all he remembers leaving the party and driving up to the cabin. Paige called him after she got a flat tire and he picked her up and then proceed to arrive at the cabin.

That's where things started to go downhill. He recalls that she brought some wine from the gala and he wishes that he hadn't consumed any. But he did; he had almost two full bottles by himself. He does remember Paige kissing him on the sofa but he remembers stopping and going to bed.

Accordingly to Paige, he stopped on the stairs and told her to come up with him. In the morning, he awoke naked and Paige was next to him. She claims that they made love, but he can't remember anything beyond going to the stairs.

"Why did I have so much to drink?" he asks himself as he runs his hands through his hair. "I was so stupid agreeing to let Paige drink with me when I know she is a minor."

He stands up and looks outside, hoping that the light will help him with his memory. "The look on Natasha's face when she saw us together," he continues to whispers to himself as he recalls the events at the cabin. "I don't think I've ever seen her look so disgusted in all my years of being with her. And who can blame her? I slept with an underage girl. God, what's wrong with me?"

Before he can say anything else, he hears a knock on his office door. He turns around and says, "Come in."

Robbie opens the door to the office and moves inside quickly as Jeff follows behind him. "Gentlemen," Shane gulps, thinking he knows why they are at his office but he can't be sure. The last conversation he had with Paige, she begged him not to tell anyone. Of course, not wanting the truth about him sleeping with a minor to get out, Shane agreed to keep mum. But now Robbie and Jeff are in his office. He has no other option but to think Paige changed her mind and revealed all. "What brings you by?"

"You have no idea why we are here?" Robbie asks him, as he grits his teeth.

"Stop playing Mr. Nice Guy," Jeff chimes in, his blood also boiling. He hasn't felt on the same as Robbie in a very long time. But this, they both know that Shane has to pay. "We know what you did to Paige. And we want answers."

"So start speaking, Shane," Robbie replies. "We want to know all the details about how you slept with Paige, a minor."

Scene Two - The Sugarbowl

Dawn looks at her phone as she feels it vibrate and she sees the incoming text from Paige. Dawn can't help but smile when she sees the text message from her friend.

"Back from the cabin. So much went down. We need to talk."

Dawn wonders if her friend was able to go through with their plan of Paige seducing Shane; Dawn knows that she sort of used her friend as a way to get revenge on Natasha. Dawn wanted to get revenge on the woman who tore up her family and the best way to do that was for Paige to act out her crush with the doctor, even though Dawn knew that Paige had her reservations.

"Well, now I can't wait to find out what happened," Dawn smiles o herself as he puts a lid on her latte and prepares to leave the coffeehouse so she can get over to see Paige. As she turns around, however, she sees Barbara rustle into inside.

Barbara immediately spots Dawn and gets a huge smile on her face. She misses having her daughter around the house since she has been staying on the Calimo mansion grounds. "Oh, Dawn," Barbara gushes as she rushes up to her. "Please tell me you're not in a hurry, dear. I'd love to grab a coffee and catch up with you. I miss seeing you all the time."

Dawn nods back to her, knowing that she can't blow her Grandma off. "I can't stay long but we can chat for a bit," Dawn tells her. "I'll go grab that booth, okay?"

Dawn moves to the back booth and sits down. Barbara soon comes over with a coffee and sits across from her Granddaughter. "So, tell me, what is new with you? How are things? You're looking so pretty today," Barbara tells her.

Dawn smiles back to her. "Thank you," she replies. "You're looking good too. Things are good with me. Not much new to report, you know? Just going day by day."

"I heard you saw your parents at that big gala at the mansion," Barbara says back to her as Dawn nods to her. "Did you have a good time? It sounds like it was a pretty fancy party."

"It was pretty fancy," Dawn says back to her. "It was surprisingly nice to see Mom and Dad again. I didn't realize how much I had missed them until I saw them."

"So you haven't heard then?" Barbara asks her, not even thinking about what she is about to reveal.

"Heard what?" Dawn asks her back.

"Your Mother," Barbara begins to say. "She's decided to file for divorce from your Dad."

Dawn's eyes open wider in shock. "What? When did this happen?"

Barbara shrugs. "I'm not sure but Helen just told me yesterday, so this is a very recent development."

Dawn shakes her head as she feels a sadness creep over herself. "I can't believe she's going through with it. I really thought that they would work this out. I'm sorry, Grandma, but I have to go. Thanks for letting me know."

"Okay, okay," Barbara says as Dawn stands up. "But don't be a stranger, okay? I miss you."

Scene Three - The Pampa Grill

"Are you having lunch all by yourself?" Adam asks Robin, who is sitting at a table alone with a glass of red wine in front of her.

Robin looks up at her friend and smiles. "Am I busted?" she says with half a chuckle.

"Not if I join you," Adam replies to her as he sits across from her. "I just hope you were planning to sit here all afternoon and drown your sorrows about Cory and Rebecca."

Robin arches her eyebrow. "I wasn't," she tells him. "I have a meeting a little later on. I'm looking to get my own place. I don't think I can stay with Cory anymore."

Adam nods back to her. "That makes a lot of sense. Just make sure you're doing what's right for you, okay?"

"Enough about and my problems!" Robin says with a laugh. "What's going on with you? How are you and Helen?" she asks him as she picks up her wine and takes a drink.

"Well," he begins to tell her. "I saw her at the gala and she seemed to agree that we should talk about our marriage before making any rash decisions. I found out that Helen's Mom was pressing her to get a divorce."

"That seems awfully intrusive."

"Tell me about it," Adam agrees with her. "Anyways, I called her out on it and that's when Helen agreed that we should discuss our marriage."

Before Robin can reply, a young man approaches the table. "Adam Black?" he asks as Adam looks up at him.

"That's me. How can I help you?"

"You've been served," the man tells him as he passes Adam an envelope.

Adam takes the envelope and starts to open it as he looks over at Robin, who is wondering what's going on. Adam pulls out the papers and can't believe what he is reading.

"I can't believe it," he sighs to himself.

"What?" Robin asks him. "What is it?"

Adam makes eye contact with Robin. "Helen has filed for divorce."

Scene Four - Tyler's Townhouse

Felicia pours herself another cup of tea before she moves back into the living room. She sits down by the fire and picks up a piece of mail that just came in. She looks at the paper again before she sets it down and a single tear falls down her cheek.

"How could this have happened?" she asks herself as she wipes her face dry when she hears the doorbell.

She stands up and fixes her clothing and her face one more time before she walks over to the door. She sees Dominick on the other side. "You got the notice as well, did you?" she asks him as Dominick moves inside the townhouse.

"That our divorce is finalized?" he asks her as she nods back to him. "Yea, I got the notice today. I had to come and see you. I know it couldn't have been easy to read that our marriage, after all these years, is finally over."

Felicia doesn't even try to hide her disappointment to Dominick. More tears start flowing from her eyes. "I just never thought that we would get to this point, you know?"

"I know."

"And after all those years marriage," she continues to sob. "Even though I was away in Switzerland for so many of those years, the one constant in my life was our marriage. And now that's gone."

"Hey," Dominick tells her as he puts his hands on her shoulders. "You listen to me, okay? Just because our divorce is finalized, doesn't mean that we aren't going to be a part of each other's lives, okay? We still have Tyler and our beautiful grandchild together. No one or nothing will ever change that."

Felicia nods back to him but pulls him into a hug. "I just wish I knew or understood how I stopped loving you," she says as he holds her. "You're the best man I've ever known, Dominick and I was so honoured to be your wife."

Dominick feels his heart break inside his chest. "Oh Felicia," he says back to her. "I cherished our time together very much. You must know that."

She leaves the hug and looks back at him as he wipes her cheeks from her tears. "I know that," she replies to him. "And I will cherish those memories forever."

Scene Five - The Calimo Mansion

"Are you ready to go and see your Daddy?" Kim asks Blake, as they stand in foyer of the Calimo mansion and she's putting his coat on.

Blake nods back to her. "It will be fun!"

"Yes, you will have fun. Remember your manners and to always…."

"Be a good boy, I know Mom," he toddler mocks his Mom in a cute way that makes Kim's heart melt.

"And remember that I love you,' she smiles back to him as she kisses his forehead.

The doorbell rings and Kim stands up to get it. Tyler is on the other side of the door, as expected. "Blake is ready," Kim tells him as he looks back at her.

"Perfect, this won' take too long then," he replies to her. "Come on buddy, are you ready to go?"

"Daddy, can I go make a snow angel before we go?" Blake asks him as he rushes out the door.

"Sure you can, I have to talk to Mommy anyways," Tyler says looking at Blake and then back at Kim. "Look, I know that you are still upset with me for helping to cause Bob's last stroke," Tyler begins to tell Kim.

"A little upset?" Kim cuts him off. "That's an understatement, Tyler. You could have seriously set his recovery back!"

"I know, I know," Tyler tells her. "And I'm sorry, okay. I don't know what else to say other than that I am very sorry. I just want to know that you still have plans to come back to me when Bob is healthy and you're ready to live your life again."

Kim looks back at the father of her child and remembers telling Tyler that once Bob was better, she would leave him and they could have a future together. But so much has happened since that time; she and Bob have grown closer again and they even shared a kiss recently after she gave him an update on the facial cream that they are working on together for Roboto. And then, there is Tyler's role in the Bob's second stroke. She is beginning to think that staying with Bob is exactly where she is supposed to be.

"I've been thinking," Kim replies to him, as Bob appears at the doors to the living room. He quickly hides, so Tyler can't see him but he can hear what the two are talking about.

"That doesn't sound good," Tyler says back to her.

"I just don't think we have that future anymore," Kim admits to him. "Bob and I, we are growing closer and he's not he man he once was."

"That's bullshit," Tyler says back to her with anger in his voice. "He's still the same son of a bitch who made you choose between him and Blake! How can you just forget that?"

"I haven't forgotten," she replies to him. "But, I've fallen in love with my husband again. Bob and I, we will be together."

"This is unbelievable!" Tyler tells her as he turns around and walks away. "You're making a huge mistake!"

Bob, meanwhile, gets a huge smile on his face in the living room. "Game over Robertson," he whispers to himself.

Scene Six - The Riverside Delicatessen

"Sorry I'm late," Dawn announces to Paige as she arrives at her friend's table. "My Grandma saw me and we had to catch up. You know how it is."

"I'm so glad that you're here," Paige replies to her friend as Dawn sits across from her.

"I'm dying to know what happened between you and Shane. Did you do it? Did you actually sleep with him?" Dawn asks her friend, more hopeful than ever that she can get some kind of revenge on Natasha since she knows that her Mom has filed for divorce. In Dawn's mind, Natasha is the reason her family is falling apart right now.

Paige gulps a little. "Well, we got to the cabin and we drank the wine," Paige begins to reveal to Dawn. "Shane drank a lot more than me and then…"

"And then?" Dawn interrupts her as she feels like she's about to jump out of her own skin.

"We kissed," Paige continues to tell her. "But he stopped it and went to bed."

Dawn shakes her head in disbelief. "But I thought…"

"I'm not finished yet," Paige tells her as a sly grin comes across her face. "I followed him up the stairs. When I got to the bedroom, he was asleep. But I took our clothes off and made it look like we had sex."

"So, you didn't sleep with Shane, but he thinks you did?" Dawn asks her surprised by Paige's admission.

Paige nods back to her. "And Natasha knows. She arrived at the cabin and saw us almost naked together. She was pretty mad. I almost caved a few times but once I told the lie I didn't think I could take it back."

Dawn grabs her friend's hand, thrilled with the news that she is hearing. "And you can never take it back, Paige. This is exactly what had to happen. Natasha will be mad at Shane, and Shane thinks he was with you. Once he gets over Natasha, it's bound to happen that you two will be together."

"Are you sure?" Paige asks her as she moves some hair behind her ear. "He seemed really upset that he couldn't remember what happened between us."

"I'm positive. Shane will be with you when this all said and done, I'm sure of it! I'm just so proud of you for getting to this point," Dawn beams back to her friend.

"I just hope I can go through with this lie. I hate lying but I do want to be with Shane."

"I'll help you," Dawn quickly tells her. "Whatever you need to make sure no one learns the truth, I'll help you."

Scene Seven - Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Meggan," Victoria calls out as she emerges from behind the nurse's station at the hospital when she sees Meggan walking through the hospital hallway. The PI turns around and looks at Victoria. "What are you doing here? I hope everything is okay?"

Meggan gulps when she looks at the doctor. She is actually at the hospital looking into finding out what happened to Chris and Trenyce's baby after the baby switch that she was involved in years ago, but she doesn't want to let on that to Victoria. "I'm fine," she tells her back. "I just had my annual physical."

"Ah, okay," Victoria nods back to her, believing the story Meggan just told her. "Did you and Jeff have a good time at the gala?"

Meggan nods back. "We did," she tells her. "Paige still doesn't know about our engagement yet and I'm not sure how she'll handle that when she does."

Victoria rolls her eyes a little, remembering that Paige wasn't always supportive of her relationship with Robbie either. "Paige is still grieving Leah," Victoria replies to her. "I'm not sure that she will ever be okay with another woman being in Jeff's, or Robbie's life, to be honest with you."

Meggan nods her head. "Well, she better get used to it because I am going to marry Jeff and be her step mother."

"It's funny how we are in similar situations with Paige," Victoria smirks back to her.

"I just wish there was a way to bring peace to this situation. For Paige, Robbie and Jeff; they all need closure in some way," Meggan tells her back.

Victoria nods. "I know. I wish there was something that would bring Jeff and Robbie together," Victoria agrees with Meggan. "Something that would help them end all of this pain."

Meggan chuckles back to her. "I guess we can keep hoping for the best!"

***

"Listen guys," Shane begins to tell Jeff and Robbie, whom are waiting to hear his explanation for sleeping with Paige at the cabin. "I understand why you're upset with me for sleeping with Paige. I know that she's a minor."

"Good then you'll understand why we want answers," Jeff replies to him coldly.

"The thing is," Shane continues to tell them. "I don't remember anything about that night. Well, I remember up to the point where I went to bed. I don't remember anything else."

"Do you remember drinking wine with Paige?" Robbie asks him.

Shane nods back. "We were drinking in the living room," Shane admits to him. "I drank way too much, I know that. And then, I went to bed. Paige tells me that I asked her to come up with me but I don't remember that. All I remember is waking up in the morning and Paige and I were both naked in the bed together."

"That's disgusting," Jeff spits at him. The thought of his baby girl in the arms of Shane makes him want to be sick.

"And Paige admitted to you and you two had sex in the morning?" Robbie continues to ask Shane questions.

Shane puts his head down and whispers, "Yes," back to both men.

"You son of a bitch," Jeff says rushing up to him, wanting to punch him.

"Jeff," Robbie tries to pull him off the doctor. He finally separates the two men and Robbie looks at Jeff. "I know you want to get revenge, but don't do anything that will make this worse."

"Worse? What could be worse than Shane sleeping with my daughter?" Jeff asks him, as his face turns bright red.

"Just watch and see," Robbie tells him as he looks back at Shane, who is fixing the collar on his shirt. "Shane Glubbs, you're under arrest."

"What?" Shane gasps looking back at Robbie.

"For the statutory rape of Paige Claus," Robbie tells him as he turns Shane around and starts putting handcuffs on him.
