Twin Peaks Court House

Brooke stands up tall from the water fountain as she desperately needed a drink of water after her testimony in her trial that is taking place. She hopes that everyone that has testified so far has helped her case. She can't go to jail over bringing Cheresa into her and her families lives; it wouldn't seem fair or right. She just hopes now that the Judge has seen things her way.

"Where are the children?" Brooke asks Greg, who is approaching her quickly. She would love nothing more than to give her children a big hug as she suspects when the Judge returns, he will have made his decision.

"They went outside for some air," Greg tells her. "It's been a long day for them."

"It has for all of us," Brooke admits to him. "I can't believe how emotionally draining this has been; having to relieve so many painful moments."

"A lot of good moments though," Greg looks back at her. "This entire day has made me think of so many memories of when the children were younger and they were just so full of life."

"We've raised some wonderful children," Brooke looks at him as their eyes lock for a moment. "Greg…"

"Can I say something?" he interrupts her as she nods back to him. "What you said on the stand about you and I, it was really touching."

"I meant every word, Greg."

"I know you did," he sighs back to her. "But Brooke, what we had, it is over. I need you to know that. I care about you, I always will. You're the mother of my children. But, I can't trust you anymore. Your affair with Robbie, it ruined that for me."

Brooke bites her lower lip as she fights tears in her eyes. "I understand," she says as she puts her head down. "Just know that I am very sorry for everything, Greg. I really am."

Greg pulls his wife into a hug. "I know you are. Neither one of us are perfect, Brooke."

Before Brooke can reply, the door to the courtroom opens and a court bailiff emerges. "The Judge is back; he's made his decision."

Twin Peaks Credit Union

"So, I have started the process of having the funds from the GIC's released," Lucie Royer tells Lukas and Meggan as they sit in her office at the local bank. Lukas and Meggan discussed the option of withdrawing the funds from Frederick's GIC's to help payoff Craig, who is requesting 10 million dollars in order for him to drop the rape charges. Meggan was feeling apprehensive about the withdrawal when she learned how much of a penalty they would have to pay since they are withdrawing the funds before the maturity date but Lukas convinced her that it was the right thing to do.

"Okay perfect," Lukas smiles back to the banker. "How long before we will have the funds deposited into our account?"

Lucie uneasily sighs back to him. "This will take a few weeks, unfortunately," she begins to tell him. "First, we have to withdraw the funds and the penalty amount, then the penalty will be processed. Then, due to the large amount of the funds you are withdrawing, there will likely be a 10 day holding period in your account until the funds are released."

"That seems like a very long time," Meggan replies to her. "Is there anything we can do to expedite this?"

"Unfortunately no," Lucie informs them. "This is standard policy; any funds that are deposited into account that is over ten thousand, there is a hold. It's common bank policy and procedure."

"As long as we get the money, that's all that matters," Lukas tells her. "Then we can solve this problem that we are dealing with."

"You're right," Meggan nods to her brother. "Even if we have to wait awhile, this will take care of it."

"I couldn't have done this without you Meg," Lukas smiles back to her.

"You don't have to thank me," Meggan replies to him. "I'm just glad this will help you, help us."

The Sugarbowl

Cassie grabs her coffee from the barista before she turns and moves over to the coffee bar to put her cream and sugar into her beverage. She has another full day planned at Roboto where she is planning to log back into the banking system to make another quick transfer. She hasn't revealed to anyone what she is up too, exactly, yet, but she knows that she has to keep it up if she wants to carry out her plan to get revenge on the Calimo's and double cross Dominick at the same time. If all goes accordingly to her plan, not only will she get her revenge on those who have crossed her but she will also be able to get back together with Jacob.

She puts the lid on her coffee and is about to leave when she sees Paige sitting at the window bar drinking a coffee. She arches her eyebrow as she recalls trying to seduce Jacob recently but he told her that he was still wanted to be with Paige. Of course, Cassie had hoped that he would give into her since she knows that he must still have some kind of feelings for her. She finds herself moving up to the younger woman.

"Beautiful day today, huh?" Cassie purses her lips together as she reaches Paige's seat.

Paige looks back at Cassie in surprise as she has no idea what she could want with her. "Very," Paige forces a smile on her face. "If you'll excuse me, I was just on my way out. I have to get to the office."

"Right, dealing with the Paris trip, right? Jacob told me all about it."

"I'm sure he did," Paige uneasily chuckles back to her. "I don't know what kind of game you're trying to play here, Cassie, but I'm not going to be a part of it."

"There is no game," Cassie replies to her quickly. "Just know this, little girl, I always get what I want. Always."

"And let me guess, you want Jacob?"

"Bingo."

Paige chuckles back to her. "Funny because he wants absolutely nothing to do with you and the more you press him the less interested he becomes. Trust me on that."

"I'm just giving you the heads up," Cassie tells her. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Before Paige can reply, Cassie turns around and leaves the coffeehouse. Paige runs her hands through her hair wondering if she should be worried about Cassie and her threats to her. She pulls her out her phone and shoots Jacob a text message. "Can you please control your ex-fiancé?"

She puts her phone back in her purse and then quickly leaves the coffeehouse, needing to get to Robertson Enterprises to help get the team ready for the upcoming Paris trip.

***

At the back booth of the coffeehouse, Robin and Nicholas sit across from one another as they are catching up before Robin has to leave for the Paris trip.

"You must be excited to go to Paris," Nicholas smirks over to her, thinking about how magical of a city Paris can be.

"I really am," Robin nods back to him. "It's great that I can work but also try to reconnect with Adam. We've been through so much, it will be nice to have us time, if you know what I mean."

"I know exactly what you mean," Nicholas chuckles back to her. "What better place to reconnect then one of the most romantic cities in the world?"

"It's not too late for you and Andy to come to Paris you know," Robin suggests to him, immediately thinking back to the opening of the One Day House when Andy was rather late in showing up and Nicholas had admitted that it had been happening on a more regular basis lately. "It could just be the thing you two need?"

"That sounds amazing," Nicholas admits to his sister. "But with the One Day House just opening, I have a million things to do right now and I don't think I can get away. I'm sure Andy feels like he could use the vacation though."

"Why do you say that? Has he been late again?"

"Not since the opening," he tells her. "But he claims to have heard a noise in the mansion. He says he's heard it more than once but he has no idea what it is."

Robin arches her eyebrow back to him. "Like a mouse or something?"

Nicholas shrugs his shoulders. "He actually told me thought it was a ghost. He thinks the house is haunted."

Robin looks back at him with a blank stare on her face. "I know, that's what I thought too," he tells his sister. "I don't know, Robin, I'm worried about him. It's like…it's like he's losing his mind or something."

"Maybe it's time he get checked out by a doctor or something," Robin suggests to him. "Cause, I agree with you something isn't right there."

The Young Mansion

Andy lays asleep in the king size bed in the master bedroom of the mansion in which he is living in with Nicholas. He usually isn't still asleep at this hour, but Nicholas convinced him to go back home after their morning visit at the One Day House and sleep in to see if more sleep will help him get over his tardiness and the noise he keeps hearing.

He moans a little in the bed and rolls over slowly opening his eyes. He grabs his phone on the end table and realizes its early afternoon now. He leans up in the bed. "Wow, I guess I did need the extra sleep," he whispers to himself. He jolts up in the bed quickly as he starts to hear the scratching noise again coming from the closet.

"What the fuck?" he asks himself as he crawls out of bed, only wearing his boxer briefs. He opens the closet door and gets on his hands and knees to see if he can see any sign of what is causing the noise. "Where are you? What are you?" Andy yells out in frustration. "I can hear you! But where is this coming from?"

Andy stands up in frustration having seen nothing. "Ugh!" he groans out. "This is happening, right? I can hear a noise? I am not going crazy?"

Suddenly, there's a knock on the bedroom door. "Mr. Andy?" Hendrix's voice calls out. "I can you shouting … is everything okay?"

Andy rushes over to the door and opens the door. "Come in here please," Andy pulls the butler into the room. "Do you hear that noise?"

Both men go silent so they can hear the noise, only there is no more scratching noise. "I don't hear anything?" Hendrix looks back at him with worry on his face. "Did you hear something?"

"Yes," Andy nods back to him. "I heard a scratching noise coming from the closet. We have to figure out what it was. It's driving me crazy!"

The Victors Mansion

"Had any ideas on how the hell we can get out of here?" Daisy asks Brett as she moves over to his cot while he is looking at the ceiling, seemingly deep in thought.

"I mean," he sits up and looks at her. "The only thing I can think of is that maybe we can try to jump Vinny when he brings us food or water?"

"Yea, I had thought of that too."

"Seems unlikely, hey?"

Daisy shrugs as she sits next to him. "I keep thinking about when Vinny was locked in here and how Robbie ended up finding him. Maybe our best bet is for someone to find us?"

Brett uneasily chuckles back to her. "What's so funny? You don't think anyone will find us?"

"No one is looking for me, Daisy," he tells her in a soft voice. "The only family I have is Vinny, and he put me in here. I was in jail for so long that I don't have a lot of friends that are out in the real world. No one knows I'm missing. No one will be searching for me."

Daisy pulls him into a hug. "I'm sorry," she whispers into his ear. "I really didn't mean to make you feel sad or upset."

"You didn't," he admits to her as they lock eyes. "It's just a fact. I'm not like you, you'll have many people searching for you because you're so beloved."

Daisy blushes back to him. "I hope that Tyler and Trenyce are looking for me," she admits to him. "But if Vinny is right and they all think I'm dead…"

Brett tilts her head with his finger and locks eyes with her again. "We will get out of here, Daisy. I am going to figure this out. We both will. We make a good team."

Daisy uneasily smiles back to him. "I hope so."

"I know so," he tells her, their eyes still locked with each other's.
