on One Day at a Time - Leah suggested to Paige that she work at Robertson
Enterprises to help get her mind off Max. Dominick, meanwhile, offered Max a job
back at RE. - Andrew and Paige kissed but agreed to just be friends as they
both realized too much had happened since they split up - Brett & Daisy
realized they had to come up with an escape plan - Jeff confided in Robbie
about his troubles with Leah - Cheresa told Chris & Trenyce she needed
more time to get used to the idea that they are her parents - Robin told Adam
she needed space after he confirmed Helen's claim that she and Adam had sex
Robertson Enterprises "I know that this timing isn't
great but after everything that happened at the ski resort, I thought this was
my best and only option," Craig stands over Dominick's desk after handing
him his resignation. Craig had been thinking about quitting his medical staff
position at the company since he got saved from the mountain following the avalanche
at Gravity's launch last November and now he has acted on it. After almost dying,
the last thing Craig envisioned for his first was to continue to work at the company.
He would rather put this part of his life behind him for good. Dominick
looks over at Robin and Leah, who are sitting on the sofa on the other side of
the office with some concern. "I appreciate you coming to see me about this
Craig," Dominick stands up and looks the doctor in the eyes. "I hate
to see you go but I can also understand why you are deciding to do this. After
all, you almost died at your first launch party." "I can give
you two weeks but after that
" "Don't worry about it,"
Dominick shakes his hand. "We'll pay out you but you're services are no longer
required." "Sorry again," Craig nods back to him before
he leaves the office. As soon as the door closes, Dominick lets out a
loud sigh. "Well ladies, what are we going to do now? We are going to need
another medical staff member. I don't like the idea of leaving this position vacant."
"I couldn't agree more," Leah moves over to the bar and pours herself
a glass of water. "We do need to fill this position immediately."
"What about Shane Glubbs?" Robin suggests to her father and sister.
"He is an excellent doctor and he might welcome the challenge from his every
day duties at general hospital." "I like this idea," Dominick
walks over to his desk and grabs his phone. "I'll make a note to myself to
reach out to him. Good thinking, Robin." Before anyone can say anything
else, there is a knock on Dominick's office door. "Come in," Dominick
calls out as the door opens and Paige enters the office. Leah immediately
gets a smile on her face thinking back to when she suggested that her daughter
come to work at Robertson Enterprises. "Darling, hi, this is a surprise,"
Leah moves up to her and gives her a hug. "Yes, it certainly is,"
Dominick comes up to his granddaughter. "What brings you by?"
"Well," Paige begins to tell everyone. "I recently went through
some life changes and I got some good advice that I am taking to heart."
"What advice would that be?" Robin asks her. "To
stop moping and feeling sorry for myself and to challenge myself with something
new," Paige tells her family. "That's why I'm here Grandpa, I'm hoping
you can find me a position here at the family company. I want to work with you
all." "Are you serious? Is this really happening?" Dominick
asks her back in surprise, having wanted Paige to work with him for years. His
dream is to have his entire family at Robertson Enterprises since it is a family
legacy. Paige chuckles back to him. "Yes, this is happening. What
do you say? Can I have a job?" "Of course you can!" Dominick
hugs her. "We will find you a position in any department that you feel natural
in." "Likely the studio? I am interested in the models and
the fashion aspect." "That would be perfect," Robin purses
her lips together. "I could use the help down there." "Then
it's settled! You're hired!" Dominick smiles back to his Granddaughter as
Leah hugs Paige. Suddenly, the office door opens again and someone clears
his throat. Dominick and his family turn around Max standing in the office.
"What are you doing here?" Paige grits his teeth back to her ex-lover.
This was the very last place that she ever thought she would find Max and yet
here he is; she doesn't know if he is stalking her but she knows that this has
to end. "I'm here to accept a job," Max uneasily smiles back
to Paige before he locks eyes with Dominick. The Pampa Grill
"I'm not sure I understand why she's giving you her mansion," Andy
sighs as he looks over at Nicholas as they sit together at a table with some iced
teas in front of them as Nicholas told his lover that his mother wants him to
stay in her mansion if he isn't going to return to Boston with her, which of course
Nicholas is not. Andy, however, has so many questions as to why Melissa would
want him to stay in the mansion and what it could mean for their future.
"She said that it would be more comfortable than staying in the hotel,"
Nicholas admits back to him before he takes a sip of his iced tea. "Which,
I have to admit that it could be true." "You have to forgive
me if I don't trust a word that comes out Melissa's mouth," Andy says back
to him. "Hey sorry I'm late, I had to sneak out of a meeting at
Robertson," Robin announces to the table. She managed to escape the meeting
with Dominick, Leah, Paige & Max and rush over as she was supposed to meet
her brother and Andy for an early lunch. "What did I miss?"
"I think you need to sit down for this one," Andy looks at Robin as
she sits next to Nicholas. She arches her eyebrow back to him. "Why,
what's going on now?" "Melissa told me she had to leave town
and head back to Boston," Nicholas tells his sister. "Why is
this bad news?" Robin chuckles back to him as she takes a sip of her white
wine that has arrived at the table. "Because she told me if I'm
not going home with her she wants me to stay in her mansion," Nicholas tells
her. "She wants me to move into her house." "I don't think
I'm seeing the problem here?" Robin admits to Andy and Nicholas. "You're
current living in a hotel room. Doesn't the idea of staying in a mansion with
all of her staff sound nice?" "I think it does. I'm just not
sure if I can trust our mother," Nicholas replies to her. "That's
what I was telling Nicholas too," Andy says back to them. "I don't trust
Melissa at all." "Which is fair but what can she really do?
She'll be in Boston, it's not like she'll be living in the mansion with you!"
"I guess Robin is right," a defeated Andy tells his lover. "What
harm could it be? And, it will save you on a hotel bill every month."
"Then it's settled, I guess I'm moving," Nicholas gets a smile
on his face at the idea of moving out of the hotel. The Victors Mansion
Vinny pours himself a brandy as he stands at the bar of the living room of
his lavish mansion on the out skirts of Twin Peaks. He is so grateful that his
family has more than one home since being just outside of Twin Peaks allows him
to live his life; had he been forced back to the mansion in Twin Peaks, everyone
would have known that he didn't really die in the avalanche and that would ruin
his entire plan to hold Daisy and Brett hostage. He turns from the bar
and looks into the roaring fire he has going before he takes a sip of his drink.
He arches his eyebrow as he quickly wonders how Daisy and Brett are doing; he
hasn't been to see them in a few days because he wanted to them get used to the
idea of spending a lot of time in the cage together. "This is the
perfect revenge," he whispers to himself. "Brett held me hostage in
that very same cage years ago so it's the perfect karma. And, Daisy, after she
betrayed me with Tyler, she's getting exactly what she deserved."
He sets his glass down and moves over to the bookshelf where he tilts the head
of the lion statue revealing a secret passage way. Vinny moves inside the tunnel
and soon emerges at cage, where he spies Brett and Daisy each laying on their
own cots, fast asleep. He chuckles at the sight thinking that they are,
indeed, making themselves right at home. "This is perfect because the two
of you will be staying here for a very, very long time." The
Riverside Delicatessen "Sorry I am late," Leah announces
to Robbie as she walks up to this table. "There was this meeting at Robertson
that I had to get out of." Robbie stands up to see his ex-wife and
hugs her. "It's okay. You wanna share any corporate secrets with me?"
Leah chuckles back to him. "You know that I can't do that," Leah
winks back to him. "But nice try." "I'm glad you agreed
to meet me today," Robbie tells her. "I ran into Jeff the other day."
Leah groans out loud as she takes a sip of her cranberry juice. "How
did that go? I can't picture you two ever getting along." "It
was out of the blue," Robbie admits to her. "He told me that you two
were having difficulties in your marriage." "It's a very long
story," Leah nods back to him. "I don't think he will ever trust me
or forgive me again." "I'm going to tell you what I told Jeff,"
Robbie looks back at her. "And that is that I'm really sorry. When we enter
a marriage, we automatically think it's going to be forever but sadly that's not
always the case." "It just hurts you know? Cause you put so
much into your marriage and then for it to just end
" she pauses to
collect herself. "It just leaves you feeling empty inside."
Robbie reaches over and grabs her hand. "You know that I'm here for you,
right? I'll still be in your corner, Leah." Leah gasps out with
some tears in her eyes. "You have no idea how much I needed to hear that."
"Well, isn't this cozy," Jeff announces as he comes up and sees
Leah and Robbie holding hands on the table. "For someone who claims to want
to make this marriage work, you have a funny way of showing it."
"This isn't what you think it is," Leah stands up to face Jeff.
"You know what Leah? Just save it," Jeff spits back to her. "You
once again prove to me that I can't believe or trust anything you have to say."
*** At another table, Dawn and Cheresa sit across from one
another with some deli sandwiches in front of them. Cheresa is glad to have some
time with Dawn since they hadn't seen a lot of each other recently. On her mind
is how Chris and Trenyce saw her the other day and she had to tell her biological
parents that she still isn't ready to have a relationship with them yet. Everything
has seemingly happened so fast that she is still trying to process everything
that has happened. "You're quiet, what are you thinking about? Or
do I even have to ask?" Dawn asks her friend before she takes a bite of her
turkey sandwich. "You know me so well," Cheresa gets half a
smile on her face. "I saw Trenyce and Chris the other day."
"Ah, and how did that go?" Dawn asks her friend knowing how much Cheresa
has struggled with the truth since it came out last fall. Cheresa shrugs
her shoulders back to Dawn. "I told them I need more time," she tells
her. "I know they gave me the holidays to get my head wrapped around this
but I just feel like I had the rug pulled out from under me. I'm not ready to
make nice yet, if that makes sense." "Of course it does,"
Dawn says back to her. "It's not only that you found out who your bio parents
are but it's the fact that Greg and Brooke lied about how they actually got you.
It's a lot to take in." "That's what I told Chris and Trenyce."
"How did they take it?" "How do you think they took
it?" Cheresa asks her back. "They seemed fine but I could tell they
were upset. It's like they want this instant family and that isn't going to happen."
"You did the right thing," Dawn tells her. "It's best that
you're honest instead of rushing things and then realizing that you have unresolved
issues." "I hope you're right," Cheresa replies to her.
"I don't want to hurt them but I need to make sure I'm okay before they are
okay, you know?" "I do know," Dawn reaches over and grabs
her hand. "And anything you need Cheresa, I am here for you. You're not in
this alone." The Pier "Does anyone know that
you're here?" Greg asks Chris as he takes off his large black sun glasses
and looks around to ensure no one has followed them to the pier. Greg asked Chris
to meet him on the pier so they could discuss Cheresa; to his surprise, Chris
said yes. Considering everything that their families went through at the end of
last year, Greg wasn't sure if Chris would agree to this secret meeting but he
is glad that he did. "No, you told me that it had to be kept between
us, so that's what I'm doing. I didn't even tell Trenyce," Chris admits to
Greg. He doesn't' know why Greg has called this secret meeting and he wasn't even
sure that he should attend after everything that has happened, but after seeing
Cheresa the other day and her admitting that she's not ready to have a relationship
with him or Trenyce, Chris thought that seeing Greg might help him get his daughter
back. "I appreciate that," Greg tells him. "Because I
think we have to get a few things straight when it comes to Cheresa."
"I'm listening. What's on your mind?" "Dawn Black,"
Greg whispers back to him. "I still think she is the main reason Cheresa's
accident happened last fall. If she hadn't been stoned, Cheresa might not have
ever have fallen into the river and almost die." Chris arches his
eyebrow. "I happen to agree with you on that." "Then you
agree, we have to do something to ensure Dawn stays out of Cheresa's life?"
Greg asks him back as Chris slowly nods back to him. "What are you
suggesting we do to keep Dawn from Cheresa?" Chris asks him, still wondering
what Greg's master plan is. "I'm glad you asked," Greg says
with a smile on his face. "Because I have an idea." The
Black House; Helen & Dawn's Home "Hold on, I'm coming,"
Helen shouts as she rushes out of the kitchen of her house and quickly moves to
the front door where someone has been knocking non-stop. She has no idea who could
be in such a panic to see her but is moving as quickly as she can to the front
door. She opens the door and sees Adam standing on the other side of it. "What
in the world is wrong with you? You didn't stop knocking on the door until I opened
it." "We have to talk," Adam says as he moves past and
her and into the foyer of the home he lived in for so many years while he was
married to Helen. "And, it can't wait." "Okay? I'm not
sure what could be so urgent. It's not Dawn, is it?" "She's
fine," Adam tells her back quickly. "This has to do with me and Robin."
Helen feels the blood drain from her face immediately realizing that Robin
must have told him about her revelation on New Year's Eve that she and Adam slept
together to "cure" his impotence. She shouldn't have been surprised
that Robin went to Adam but now she feels like she has to cover her tracks.
"Why did you tell her that we slept together all those months ago? Why
would you do that to me?" Helen gulps. "It just happened,"
Helen replies to him. "But, if I am truly honest with you Adam, I am not
sorry that the truth came out." "Damnit Helen! I am in love
with Robin, I'm trying to make a go of this relationship and now, she told me
she needs space because of what happened between us," Adam tells her. "This
could have been prevented!" "The truth would have come out
eventually Adam," Helen shakes her head. "Really, we should have been
honest with her from the get go. What kind of future would you have had with this
secret hanging over your head?" "You're not sorry at all, are
you?" "No!" Helen shouts back to him. "Because while
you are in love with Robin, I'm still in love with you! My God Adam, if that's
not obvious then you truly are blind." Adam gulps back to her not
realizing the extent of her feelings for him. "I
I had no idea."
"Well, now you know and I've said too much. There I go again putting
my foot in my mouth." "You didn't," Adam shakes his head
back to her. "But Helen, you have to know that I'm committed to Robin. I
want my relationship with her to work." Helen feels her heart sink
in her chest. "I know. I just thought you should know where I'm coming from."
"I get it," Adam says back to her. "But in the future, come
to me first, okay?" "Sure, I'll try." Roboto
"How do you think they will react to this?" a nervous Cassie asks
Kim as she paces outside the door of the main office at Roboto. Cassie and Kim
have come up with an idea of the next big Roboto launch and they are about to
present the idea to Natasha and Robbie, so they are apprehensive about how the
siblings will take their suggestion since the office has sort of become two against
two. She just hopes that Robbie and Natasha are able to put their differences
aside with Kim and herself and actually realize that their idea is a good one.
"God, I have no idea," Kim admits to her as she collects some papers
and puts them into a file folder. "I suspect Robbie will be an easier sell
than Natasha; when it comes to the two of us, Natasha can't see straight."
"That's why I'm worried," Cassie replies to her. "But our
concept is a really good one. They just have to get on board." "Well,
there's no time like the present to pitch it to them. Shall we?"
"After you," Cassie purses her lips together as she opens the office
door for Kim, who swiftly moves inside. "Good you're both here,"
Kim announces to her step-children. "Cassie and I have an idea that we want
to run by you both." Robbie and Natasha look at one at one as they
sit next to one another on the sofa in the office. After having lunch with Leah,
Robbie came into the office to get some work done which is when he learned that
Cassie and Kim had arranged meeting, which alarmed him and Natasha. Neither one
of them know what this pitch will be but they hope that it's not a waste of their
time. "We are listening," Robbie tells her. "And
for the love of God, make this good. Don't waste our time," Natasha rolls
her eyes back to the women. "I did a comprehensive review of all
of the current Roboto products that are on the shelves and there is one key product
that is missing," Cassie beings to tell them. "And that is an anti-wrinkle
serum. Kim and I believe that this could be the next big product from Roboto."
"And before you ask, we haven't discussed anything with marketing yet,"
Kim interjects. "We wanted to get the green light from both of you before
we invested anyone else's time and resources on this." Robbie and
Natasha look at one another in surprise for a moment while Cassie nervously looks
over at Kim. "Well, what do you two think?" Cassie manages to ask them.
"I am really surprised but I think this is a good pitch," Robbie
admits to them as he stands up. "I can't believe you went through all of
the Roboto products to come up with this, Cassie." "I can't
believe I'm going to say this either but I agree with Robbie. This is a good idea,"
Natasha tells the women. Part of is incredibly annoyed that she didn't think of
this idea; this is a great business idea, she realizes. Cassie and Kim
hug one another. "Thank you so much for supporting this," Cassie says
as they exit their embrace. "Let's discuss the next steps?"
The Cascade Apartments; Apartment 507; Andrew's Home Andrew sits
on this sofa looking at his phone's photo album of various pictures of Paige and
himself. He smirks at some of them as he scrolls through the album. Once he's
done, he exits the album and then holds his finger over it until the delete option
appears. He deletes the album and all of the pictures that were inside. He sets
his phone back down on the coffee table and then runs his hands through his hair.
"Just friends," he whispers to himself as he thinks back to his
meeting with Paige at the park where they kissed but quickly realized that they
should only be friends. Too much time had passed since they broke up because of
Max and Abby's scheming; Andrew knows that they both tried, and that's all that
matters. "I am okay with that Paige. We can be friends. Besides, I can't
get Albertinah out of my head." Before he can say anything to himself,
there's a soft knock on his door. He move over and opens the door seeing Abby
on the other side. "Abby, I told you the other day that we have nothing more
to discuss." Abby pushes her way into the apartment and puts her
purse down on the small kitchen table. "Well that's too damn bad because
I'm not leaving here until you hear what I have to say." Andrew
rolls his eyes and closes the door. "Fine, start speaking. But if you think
that anything you say will get me to change my mind about you or forgive you,
you have another thing coming." "I think you're forgetting
one minor detail Andrew," Abby purses her lips together. "And
what would that be?" "I know your secret," Abby gets a
wicked grin on her face. "I know that you slept with your teacher."
Robertson Enterprises Paige feels her hands shaking as she
pours herself a glass of water as she stands in Dominick's office. She can't believe
that moments after she accepted a job at her grandfather's company, Max entered
the office and revealed that he was there to accept a job with Robertson as well.
"I'm really glad to hear that you've decided to accept the job offer,"
Dominick shakes Max's hand, clearly oblivious as to what is happening between
Max and Paige. "I'll get my secretary to send you over all of the paper work."
"That sounds great, thank you Mr. Robertson," Max smiles back to
him. "Please, call me Dominick." "Paige, did
you hear that? I'll be working for your family again, isn't that great?"
Paige takes a drink of her water. "Actually, Paige has agreed to come
work here as well," Dominick reveals to Max, whose face lights up.
"Really? Is this true Paige? You and I, we will be working together?"
Max asks, unable to hide his excitement. He never thought that this would happen
but he is thrilled because it means that he can work with Paige every day and
try to get back into her good graces. "It's true," Paige turns
to face him. "But if you think that this will change anything between us
you are dead wrong, Max. I will work with you because I can be professional but
don't get your hopes up about any other type of relationship because it will never
happen. Understood?" Max uneasily nods back to her ad Dominick arches
his eyebrow. "Good, then it's settled," Paige glares at him.

goes to the hospital - Victoria is scared about her future | |
