Scene One - Twin Peaks Police Department; The Holding Cells
"I have gone over everything over and over in my head and I just
can't seem to remember anything else," Shane
tells his lawyer, Josh
Levitt as he sits outside of Shane's cell and they are reviewing the
case. Shane knows that he has been racking his brain trying to remember
something, anything, that will help him clear his name from these statutory
rape charges. The most frustrating thing for Shane is that he can't remember
anything about the night at the cabin with Paige.
It's a complete blank, almost like he passed out from all the wine he
had consumed, but Paige is telling everyone that they went upstairs and
had sex.
"Keep trying," Josh tells his client. "I don't care how
big or little of a detail you may remember, I need to know if you do.
Your entire case could depend on it."
Shane sighs and looks back at Josh. "It's not looking good, is it?"
Josh puts his IPad down and stands up from his chair. "The fact that
a nurse saw you kissing Paige before the night at the cabin really damages
your case, I can't lie to you," Josh informs him. "We have a
third party witness that can prove that you and Paige had been growing
closer prior to this event which means the cabin wasn't an isolated event."
"But it was!" Shane replies to him quickly. "Paige had
kissed me, yes, but every time I told her that we could just be friends.
That's why I know something else must have happened at the cabin."
Josh nods back to him. "I know. And I have an idea, I'm just not
sure how you'll feel about it."
Shane locks eyes with his lawyer. "Tell me," he tells him. "I'm
willing to do anything to clear my name."
Scene Two - The Pampa Grill
"There you are," Meggan
announces to her fiance, as she moves closer to Jeff's
table. Meggan can immediately tell that something is on Jeff's mind, which
could explain why he hasn't responded to any of her text messages all
day. "I've been trying to get a hold of you. Did you get my messages?"
Jeff picks up his beer and takes a sip of it. He slowly puts it down before
he looks back at Meggan. "I did," he finally speaks to her.
"I guess I just needed some time."
Meggan shakes her head in disbelief. Why is Jeff shutting her out? She
asks herself, not understanding his distance. "Have I done something
to upset you? I'm not sure why you'd feel like you need time."
Jeff picks up his beer and slowly takes another drink. He doesn't make
eye contact with Meggan at all. He knows what day it is and seeing Meggan
today is still very painful, despite how much he has grown to love and
care for her.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Meggan asks him, growing more
frustrated with him. "What is this about?"
Jeff finally looks back at her. "I'm sorry, Meggan," he whispers
to her. "I told you that I just needed time right now."
"But why?" she asks him as she suddenly realizes what day it
is. "My God," she whispers back to him. "It's the anniversary
of Noah's
death today."
Jeff nods back to her before he picks up his beer again. "Are you
going to punish me for that mistake every year on this day? Because that's
not what forgiveness is, Jeff," she tells him as she stands up. "And
I don't want to be punished every year if I'm going to marry you."
Before Jeff can say anything, Meggan storms off from the table, leaving
him alone. Jeff picks up his glass of beer and takes another swig, trying
to numb the pain of the losing his son so many years ago on this day.

"You saw Shane last night?" Robbie
asks his sister as she sits next to him at the bar of the restaurant drinking
a glass of red wine. Robbie wonders if Shane told Natasha
anything that would make him appear even guiltier than he already does.
All that Robbie wants now is for Shane to pay for taking advantage of
Paige.
Natasha finishes taking a sip of her wine and looks back at Robbie. "I
did," she tells him. "He was barely holding up in jail. I don't
know how he's going to do it until the trial."
"He deserves to be in jail after what he did to Paige," Robbie
replies to him, gritting his teeth.
"I don't argue with that," Natasha admits to him. "It's
just
"
"It's just what Nat? You think he didn't do what Paige is saying
he did? Why would she lie about that? And you know that the nurse saw
them kissing in his office a few weeks before the night at the cabin.
Shane slept with my daughter and he has to pay for it."
Natasha turns her attention back to her wine and slowly takes another
large gulp. She knows what Robbie is saying is true but she also wants
everything in her to believe Shane. He wouldn't, really, knowingly sleep
with a minor, would he?
"You can't deny the facts, Natasha," Robbie continues to tell
her.
Natasha puts her glass down and looks back at her husband. "You're
right," she finally says back to him. "I know that Shane did
this. It's just a hard pill for me to swallow, okay?"
Robbie moves over to her and hugs her. "I know, I'm sorry that you're
having to go through this. But it's time we all realize the kind of man
Shane really is."
"I know," Natasha whispers back into his ear. "He has to
pay for taking advantage of Paige. He has too."
Scene Three - Twin Peaks General Hospital
"Are you excited for this appointment?" Cory
asks Rebecca
as they sit in the waiting room of the hospital anticipating the start
of their first check-up for their baby. Cory knows that he promised to
be there for Rebecca every step of the way but he can't help but wish
that Robin
was with him instead of Rebecca. He wishes that this had never happened,
even though he is still very happy that the will be a father soon.
Rebecca looks down at her phone reading the text message from Melissa
that states, "Do not let Cory into the examination room with you.
Everything else will be taken care of." She looks back at Cory and
smiles.
"Of course I am," she says grabbing his hand. "This is
the first time I actually feel like this baby is real and it's coming
sooner than we think."
Cory nods in agreement. "The 9 months will fly by so fast. At least
they did when Robin was pregnant," he immediately regrets saying
that. "I'm sorry."
Rebecca shakes her head. "No need to apologize, Cory. I know you've
gone through this process before."
"We just have to make sure the outcome is different this time,"
he says back to her quickly, recalling how his baby with Robin was born
stillborn.
"Look, I know you're excited too," Rebecca replies to him. "But
I'm feeling a little self-conscious. Do you mind if I go into the appointment
alone?"
Cory looks back in surprise. "I thought you wanted me to be a part
of this process with you?"
"I do," Rebecca tells him. "I guess this is my first time
doing this and I'd just feel more at ease if it was me and the doctor.
Next time, you can come with me."
Cory nods uneasily. "Okay, if that's what you want."
"I won't be long," Rebecca smiles back to him, feeling like
her heart is in her throat for having to come up with a lie to keep Cory
out of the appointment. She walks away and up to the room where she will
be examined. She opens the door and quickly shuts it.
"Hello?" she calls out into the empty room. "Is anyone
here?"
Before she can do anything else, a side door to the room opens and Caroline
appears in a hospital gown. "This room has another door, you can
wait in that room. When the appointment is over, we'll trade positions
again. You'll get all the paper work to show Cory."
Rebecca nods back to her. "Okay, I hope everything goes well."
"It will," Caroline smiles back to her. "Trust me, we've
come too far to let anything get in our way."
Scene Four - The Sugarbowl
Trenyce
stirs her coffee slowly as she sits at the window bar, half looking at
her semi-cold java and half looking outside. Her mind is on anything but
the idea of having to go back to work to finish some new designs that
she is working on for Robertson Enterprises. She knows that she has feelings
for Chris,
the fact that she is so upset by the news that he is interested in Helen
confirms this to her. But she also knows that Chris is a player and she
doesn't want to open up to him in the hopes of getting hurt. Which is
a large part of the reason why she is sleeping with Tyler;
not because she has genuine feelings for him but because he gives her
what she needs, at least physically.
Really though, she is thinking about the idea of having her child. Now
that she and Chris have enlisted Meggan's help in tracking the baby down,
she has hope that one day she will be reunited with her baby that was
taken from her. She has been feeling this way even more since Meggan confirmed
that Trenyce gave birth to a girl.
"My beautiful baby girl," she whispers to herself as she continues
to stir her coffee. "You're out there somewhere. I just hope that
you're okay and that you're safe."
Before she can say anything else, she looks up and sees Frederick
leaving the coffeehouse with a coffee. She watches him for a moment and
knows that he sent Andrew away to a boarding school to keep Andrew away
from her and Chris. Trenyce wishes that Frederick would realize that neither
Chris or her want to do Andrew any harm; they simply care for him.
She stands up and rushes out of the coffeehouse. "Frederick, wait,
please," she calls out as she runs up to him.
Frederick stops and turns around to look at Trenyce. He tries to hide
his disappointment that she is coming up to him. "What is it, Ms.
Davenport? I'm almost late for an appointment."
"I won't keep you long," Trenyce replies to him as she moves
some hair behind her ear. "I was just thinking about Andrew and wondering
how he is doing?"
Frederick gets a sly grin on his face. "Well, I will tell you what
I told Chris Michaels and that is that Andrew is no longer your concern
so you'd be best to forget about him. You will never see him again, is
that clear?"
Trenyce feels her eyes swell with water. "Why are you so cruel? Andrew
is at the age where the more people who love him, the better. Chris and
I just love that boy. That's all, we just care. Why isn't that a bad thing?"
Frederick doesn't respond to Trenyce. He turns around and walks away from
her, leaving her with tears flowing down her cheeks.
***
Back inside the coffeehouse in the back booth, Dominick
and Eva
sit across from each other with sly grins on their faces as they discuss
their engagement.
"Tell me, were your child happy to hear about our engagement?"
Dominick asks her with a smile on his face. He hasn't been this happy
in his personal life in a very long time now that his divorce from Felicia
has been finalized and he is engaged to Eva. He has wanted to take this
step for so long, it almost feels surreal to him now that they are in
the place that they are.
"Of course they were," Eva smiles back to him. "They both
thought that it was long overdue, which is funny because I feel the same
way."
"As do I," he replies back to her. "Which is why I was
thinking," he continues to tell her. "Now that my divorce is
finalized from Felicia,
I don't think we should wait very long before getting married. I think
we should have a short engagement."
Eva looks back to him with some surprise in her eyes. "But there's
so much to plan!"
"Then we can hire someone to help you with the details," Dominick
tells her as he grabs her hand across the table. "I'm telling you,
Eva, that I don't want to wait to marry you."
Eva giggles a little. "Then, I certainly won't keep you waiting."
Before he can respond, his cell phone starts to ring. He grabs it from
his pocket and looks at the number. "Sorry, darling, I should take
this," he tells her before he picks up the incoming call. "What
is all of this about?" he asks.
There is a moment of silence but then Eva hears the worry in Dominick's
voice. "What? Are you sure? Yes, yes, I'll be right there."
Eva looks at her fiancé, wondering what just happened. "Dominick,
what is it? Is everything okay?"
Dominick, who is looking rather pale suddenly, looks back at her. "No,
it's not okay. It's Paige, we have to go."
"Okay, I'll come with you," she says as she quickly collects
her coat.
As they rush out, Victoria
comes into the coffeehouse. She sees her Mom rushing to the door. "Mom,
is everything okay?"
Eva stops just long enough to look at her daughter. "I'll call you
later, we have to leave now. Something about Paige."
Victoria uneasily nods back to her, knowing that Dominick must have just
found out the truth about Shane and Paige's night together. Victoria knows
because it's been reported at the hospital that Shane was arrested. "Call
me soon," Victoria tells Eva, who rushes to catch up to Dominick.
Victoria takes a deep breath and wonders how Robbie is holding up with
the news that Paige and Shane slept together. She knows that he couldn't
be taking the news very well because, despite not being Paige's biological
father, he has always felt very protective of her.
"Oh Robbie," she whispers to herself. "If only you'd let
me help you right now. You need someone and I could be that somebody."
She turns to leave the coffeehouse, forgetting that she hasn't even ordered
anything yet, and sees Robbie slowly walk inside. She gulps and wonders
if she should approach him because the last few times she has reached
out to him, he has been very cold. She shakes her head and knows that
it is the right thing to do.
"Hey," she says softly as she walks up to him.
"Hey," he replies to her.
"I heard about Paige and Shane," she says quickly back to him.
"I know you're upset with me and I get that. But Robbie, my God,
if you need anything from me at all right now, please let me know. I still
I
still love you and if you need me, I'll be there for you."
Robbie uneasily nods back to her and forces a smile on his face. "Thanks,
Vic. I'm not sure what the next step is, but I'm glad I have you in my
corner."
She grabs his hand and squeezes it. "I've never left your corner,
Robbie."
Scene Five - Twin Peaks Police Department; The Holding Cells
"Come on, Josh," Shane replies to his lawyer. "What is
this idea you have that could help me clear my name?"
Josh stands up and walks around the chair that he was sitting in. "It
will cause a lot of grief for Paige and her family," he tells Shane.
"They won't like this idea."
"I don't care! I have to do something to clear my name!"
"Okay, okay," Josh replies to him. "I'm suggesting we get
a court order to have Paige undergo a medical examination."
"What kind of examination?" Shane asks him, wondering where
Shane is going.
"An examination to show if Paige is still a virgin or not,"
Josh explains. "Often a OBGYN will be able to tell if a girl has
been with a man or not."
Shane runs his hands through his hair; Josh was right, neither Paige or
her family will be very happy with this forced examination. And does he
really want to put Paige through that? Shane knows that he would be hurting
her but at the same time, he knows that he has to do something, anything,
to ensure that his name is cleared.
"You're not saying anything," Josh replies to him finally. "Are
you thinking that this could work? Or do you want to try something else?"
Shane looks back at his lawyer. "Nah, this could work. Let's do it.
Let's have Paige get examined."
