Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Is everything okay? What is going on in here?" Adam asks Robin and Shane again as they uneasily look at one another. Adam can't help but feel like he is walking in on something important; he can feel the tension between the Shane and Robin. He just hopes that nothing is seriously wrong with Robin from her fall.

"Everything is fine," Robin purses her lips together, as she looks at Shane with intent so he knows that he can't say anything about her being pregnant. "I was just finding out that Shane wants me to stay in the hospital overnight."

Shane looks back at Adam. "She wasn't happy with the news as she wanted to go home but I would rather be safe than sorry."

"I am in agreeance with the doctor," Adam smiles back to Robin. "We want to make sure that you're feeling okay after the fall."

"I'm fine," Robin shakes her hand back to him. "I just want to get out of here."

"You will tomorrow," Adam moves up to her. "And then I'm going to take you home and make sure nothing bad ever happens to you again."

Robin hugs Adam as she looks at Shane, who is continuing to wonder if and when Robin will tell Adam about the baby. He knows that the sooner that she tells him the sooner they can all start dealing with this child.

The Pampa Grill

"Are you sure you're feeling okay about Abby and Andrew's news?" Greg asks Brooke as they sit across from one another at one of the tables in the back corner of the restaurant. Greg recalls how earlier in the evening Abby and Andrew announced that she was pregnant and that they have decided to give the child up for adoption. Upon hearing the news, Brooke quickly ran out of the room.

Brooke takes a sip of her wine before she looks back to her estranged husband. "Abby and I spoke afterwards," she reveals to him. "And, yes, I am okay now. I think it was just a shock that I was going to lose a grandchild."

"I think it is a very respectable decision that they have made," Greg replies to her quickly. "If they know they are not ready to be parents, it is better that they put the child in a home that will be loving."

Brooke takes another sip of her wine. "I agree," she nods back to him. "And, like I told Abby, if it is an open adoption, maybe we could still be a part of the child's life."

"You're thinking about Logan, aren't you? And how we thought we had a grandchild and then he was taken from our lives when it was revealed Brad was lying."

Brooke reaches over and grabs his hand. "I just thought by this time our children would have babies and we'd be spoiling our grandchild."

"I know, I thought that too," Greg nods back to her as they lock eyes with each other. Greg quickly takes his hand away from hers when his phone starts to ring. He answers it. "Greg Lawson," he says into his phone. "Yes, okay, thank you that was fast."

Brooke arches her eyebrow back to him. "What was that about?"

"Our divorce," he looks back at her. "It's been finalized. We are officially no longer married."

Chris moves into the restaurant hoping to grab a drink before he heads back to his place for the night. He has still been racking his brain trying to figure out what to do with the fact that Trenyce slept with Brad behind his back. For months, he was trying to get her to trust him again since he arranged for the restraining order against Dawn earlier in the year.

As he moves to a table in the restaurant, he freezes in his tracks and immediately gets a smile on his face by the sight in front of him. "Albertinah?" he asks his sister as he approaches her table. "You're back in town?"

Albertinah stands up and pulls him into a hug as she is thrilled to see her brother. "I am back," she says as they exit their embrace. "I thought long and hard about my life while I was away and I realized that I didn't want to be away from you or Trenyce any longer."

"It's so good to see you," he says as he sits across from her. "I'm not sure Trenyce will feel the same."

"Why would you say that?" Albertinah asks him. "I would have thought things were good with you too?"

"She slept with someone else," he reveals to her. "I only just found out. I'm rattled and beyond disappointed in her."

Albertinah looks back at her brother. "You, maybe more than anyone else, should know how something like that can just happen. I get that you're hurt Chris, but people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Try to remember that, okay?'

Chris smiles back to her. "It's good to have you home, Tina."

At the bar, Jacob and Paige sit next to one another as they are having a drink to catch up on their days.

"You really think that your Dad was trying to get you to break up your Mom and Cory so he could get back with her?" Jacob asks his girlfriend before he takes a sip of his beer.

Paige moves a piece of her hair behind her ear as she thinks back to her conversation with Jeff earlier in the day when he once again pressed her to discuss Leah's relationship with Cory; Paige came to the conclusion that Jeff wanted her to discuss with Leah so he could reunite with her since Meggan has ended things with Jeff. She, of course, told him that she didn't want to get involved.

"I think it is a good possibility," Paige replies to him finally. "The thing with my parents is that they have been together and broken up and then back together so many times; with my Dad moving out of Meggan's, it makes sense to me that he would want to get back with my Mom. Only, he can't do that if she's with Cory."

Jacob chuckles back to her. "My parents have also had their share of romantic failures," he admits to her as he thinks about the many marriages that Natasha and Shane have both had over the years. "I guess true love is hard to come by."

"I'm still young that I'm not ready to get married but I'd hope that when I'm ready, I know my partner well enough to make it last. I only want to be married once."

"Yea, same," Jacob nods back to her. "Speaking of relationships, I want you to know that I am taking to heart what you said about my insecurities, Paige."

"I didn't mean to come across harsh when I said anything to you," she quickly tells him. "It's just…"

"No, I get it," he cuts her off. "You don't want to be wondering about me and my insecurities, I completely understand. I am working on them. I'm not there yet but I want you to know that I am working towards making sure I am okay."

Paige pulls him into a hug and smiles to him. "Thank you," she whispers in his ear. "You trying is all I can ask for you. And, I hope you know that I'm here for you if you need me, Jacob. You don't have to battle this on your own."

At the doorway of the restaurant, Max freezes when he sees Paige in Jacob's arms. He immediately sighs to himself as he had hoped that they were drifting further apart as a result of Jacob's insecurities. Based on what is in front of him, however, Max realizes that he has a lot more work to do.

***

In the middle of the restaurant, Donovan sits with Victoria and Eva as the three of them are catching up since Victoria is now living outside of Twin Peaks in the Victors mansion.

"It is really nice that Lukas is making so much effort in trying to make things right with you guys again," Eva tells her son before she takes a sip of her wine. She is thrilled that Lukas and Donovan are working towards getting their relationship back on track; she knows how challenging it was for them after Lukas was arrested for rape charges against Craig.

"He is making an effort," Donovan nods back to her. "We are talking about the adoption again. Apparently, there is a child here in Twin Peaks that will be ready for adoption once it is born."

"Wow," Victoria tells her brother. "That is great news. I'd suspect by then you and Lukas would be back on solid ground too?"

"That's the goal," Donovan says back to her. "How are things with you out at the mansion in the woods?"

Victoria picks up her wine and thinks about how she recently discovered a secret passage in the study of the mansion. When she took a few steps inside, she thought she heard voices. Of course, she panicked and closed the door to the passageway. She hasn't been able to stop thinking about why Vinny would have lied to her about having the passages removed. And, if he lied to her about that, what else is he lying to her about?

"They are great," she lies to her family so they don't get worried about her. The last thing she needs is for Eva and Donovan to press that she leaves the mansion before she figures out what is going on. "I really love the solitude that comes with living out there. And, the mansion is so big, it's fun to explore."

"I still wish you'd come home," Eva shakes her head back to her. "You know that I hate that you're out there."

"I know you do Mom," Victoria uneasily smiles back to her. "But, I am in a good place, you should be grateful for that."

Before Eva or Donovan can say anything else, Victoria looks over at the entry way of the restaurant and sees Meggan walk in. She immediately realizes that she has to talk to her about what she found in the mansion.

"Will you two excuse me for a moment?" Victoria asks as she scoots out of her chair and rushes up to Meggan. "Hey, I'm glad that I ran into you."

"Victoria," Meggan purses her lips together. "What brings you into the city? Tired of the mansion?"

Victoria chuckles back to her. "I'm just catching up with my mom and brother," Victoria explains. "Something did happen at the mansion, though."

Meggan arches her eyebrow back to her. "What is it? What happened?"

"I found one of the secret passages," Victoria whispers back to her so no one can hear her. "I thought I heard voices inside but I panicked and closed the door quickly."

"So Vinny lied about having them removed?"

"It appears so."

"You have to get Vinny out of the mansion," Meggan replies to her. "And once he's gone, you need to explore the passage and see what's in there, Victoria. Do you think you can do that?"

Victoria gulps heavily before she nods back to her. "Yea, I think I can."

"If you need help from Brad and I, we will be there. But we have to know what's going on here," Meggan tells her. "We have to figure out what Vinny is hiding."

The Victors Mansion

Vinny quickly moves up to the cage where Daisy and Brett are still being held hostage. He is carrying a couple more bags of food for the two of them.

"Hello my two favorite house guests," he smirks to his ex-wife and twin brother. "I come bearing gifts!"

Daisy quickly moves up to the bars that separate them and takes one of the bags. She sets it down and then looks back at Vinny. "Aren't you ever going to get tired of having to come and bring us food all the time? We have gotten your point, you're furious with us and we have wronged you! I think we have both learned our lesson, Vinny."

Vinny chuckles back to her. "You'd think so, but I'm not ready to play nice and let you out of here yet. In fact, you're going to spend your last days on this earth in this cage so you better get used to it."

"Damn you Vinny," Brett grits his teeth together. "We have had enough of you and this bullshit."

"I don't care what you're tired of," Vinny replies to him. "You're never leaving."

"I could have sworn I heard something the other day," Daisy reveals to him. "Was someone else in the house?"

Vinny freezes when he wonders about Victoria; is it possible that she could have almost discovered Brett and Daisy? "Nope," Vinny lies to them. "Don't you worry about that. No one will ever find you two in here, I'll make perfectly sure of that. Now, I really must be going."

"We will get out of here Vinny," Brett yells as Vinny walks away from the cage. "If it's the last thing we do, we will get out of here!"

The Young Mansion; Nicholas & Andy's Home

Andy tosses around in the king size bed in the master bedroom of the Young mansion. He went to bed a tad earlier than usual because he hasn't been sleeping well since he saw Reese in the mansion a few weeks earlier. Of course, he wanted to move out after he saw his dead husband, but Nicholas convinced him to stay in the mansion a while longer. Andy had hoped that Nicholas would have been home so they could be together but he had to work late at the One Day house.

Suddenly, the loud scratching noise starts to come from the closet again. Andy rolls over and tries to cover his ears with the pillow as this was the last thing he needed while he was trying to sleep. The noise, however, continues to get louder until Andy groans out in frustration and turns the lamp on his end table on.

He jolts up right in the bed when he can see the figure of Reese standing in front of the closet again! "Reese?" Andy calls out in shock and horror. "Reese is that you?"

Reese nods back to him and extends his arm to reach out to Andy. "Andy," Reese calls out to him in a whisper. "Andy, it's me. Please, please Andy, save me! Save me from this house!"

Andy shakes his head in shock and confusion and shuts his eyes. "This isn't happening," he whispers to himself. "This isn't happening to me …"

When he opens his eyes, the figure of Reese is gone and the scratching noise has stopped. He looks around the empty room and wonders what just happened.

"What is happening to me?" he asks himself as a single tear falls down his cheek. "Why are you haunting me Reese?"
