Roboto

"I can't believe that it has happened already," Cassie takes a sip of her coffee as she finishes listening to Kim tell her and Robbie that Will has successfully seduced Eva, which means their plan to implode Dominick's. marriage is working like a charm. Of course, this couldn't have come at a better time for the Roboto gang as they know that Dominick just ruined the Youth launch. Cassie is secretly thrilled with these turns of events because she has been working to get back at the Calimo's, and to double cross Dominick. Now, she just hopes the truth comes out so she can focus on the next phase of her plan.

"So what is the next step?" Robbie sighs as he looks over at Kim and then Cassie. "We are going to expose Eva's affair? You know how well that will go over with Natasha!"

Kim shakes her head back to him. "No, I don't think we should expose anything," she replies to him quickly. "Everyone in this room knows that secrets have a way of coming out. I say, we focus on our new product and we wait for Eva and or Will to slip up and watch the action unfold."

"I'm not sure we can afford to wait," Cassie admits to them. "With Robertson beating us with the serum, we need something to hit them quickly. Dominick's marriage blowing up could be just that."

"Why would my mother's marriage to Dominick explode?" Natasha asks her co-workers as she opens the door to the main office and quickly moves inside. She only caught the tail end of the conversation but she heard that Eva's marriage could be in trouble, which is the last thing Natasha wants or needs right now. "What the hell is going on in here?"

The Cascade Apartments; Apartment 507; Andrew's Home

"See, it wasn't too bad telling my parents about the baby, was it?" Abby asks Andrew as they sit next to one another on the sofa in his apartment. Abby can't help but remember how Brooke didn't take the news of her and Andrew wanting to give their unborn child up for adoption once it was born because neither one of them feel like they are not ready to be parents yet.

"I was surprised by how well your Dad handled it," Andrew admits back to her as he thinks about how supportive Greg was. "I thought for sure he would have lost it, especially considering how he reacted when Cheresa came out and he sent her to that bible camp."

"My Dad has really become more chill as he's gotten older," Abby nods back to him. "And, to be honest, my Mom was cool too once I spoke to her privately."

"Then it looks like we are on our way to giving this baby up for adoption," Andrew replies to her. "How are you feeling about this?"

"I'm feeling good," Abby replies to him. "I still think we are doing the right thing. Are you still feeling that way?"

"Yea," Andrew says back to her. "Like I told you, I will do whatever it is you want me to do. I respect that this is our decision, your decision."

"Oh my God," Abby suddenly squeals back to him as she grabs his hand.

"What is it? What's wrong?" he asks her as she places his hand on her belly.

"Do you feel that?" she asks him as she looks at him with amazement. "The baby, it's kicking."

Andrew smiles back to her as he feels the baby kicking. "That is so cool," he replies to her. "We made that thing inside you! It's sort of funny to think about!"

Abby nods back to him. "It makes me realize that we can do anything together, Andrew. Absolutely anything."

The Young Mansion; Nicholas & Andy's Home

"You don't think that it's odd that these visions of Reese only happen when I am seemingly not here?" Nicholas asks Andy as he pours two cups of coffee in the living room of the lavish estate that they live in together. Andy just finished telling Nicholas how the previous night he, once again, was visited by a vision of his dead husband. Andy is clearly flustered by what is happening to him but Nicholas still thinks that there must be more to the story than meets the eye.

"I don't know what to think anymore," Andy admits back to him as he accepts a cup of coffee from Nicholas. "All I know is that I never heard any damn noise while trying to sleep when I was living in my condo, nor did I see my dead husband!"

"I know that you're upset by this," Nicholas replies to him quickly as he sits next to his lover on the sofa. "I am too. I just wish I understood the why behind all of this. There are so many things that don't make sense."

"I don't have the patience to figure this all out," Andy shrugs back to him. "I feel like I am going crazy, Nicholas!"

Nicholas pulls him into a hug and holds him closely for a moment. "I know, I'm trying to help you the best way I can."

They exit their embrace and Andy looks back into Nicholas' eyes while he feels himself start to mist up. "I know you are," he whispers back to him. "But, Nicholas, I can't keep doing this. I have to remove myself from this situation."

"What are you saying?" Nicholas asks him, concerned about where Andy is going with this.

"I know I told you that I would stay living here," Andy replies to him. "But I can't do this anymore. I have to move back to my condo and I have to do it today."

The Tower's; Floor Five; Shelley's Condo

Cheresa slowly opens her eyes in the queen size of Shelley's condo and slowly sits up in the bed. She looks to the body laying next to her and is suddenly overcome with guilt as she recalls how she and Shelley had sex the previous night. She can't believe that it happened; she had come to visit her friend to tell her about how she and Dawn broke up and one thing lead to another; neither one of them had wanted it to happen but they were both lonely and they had sex.

"Morning," Shelley rolls over and smiles to her younger lover. "How'd you sleep?"

"Like a baby," Cheresa admits back to her. "I guess you helped me blow off a lot of tension."

"You did the same for me," Shelley winks back to her. "You want some coffee?"

"I'd love some."

They put their robes on and walk into the kitchen, where Shelley starts putting some coffee grinds into the coffeemaker. "Listen Cheresa," Shelley starts to tell her as she makes the coffee. "I had a great time last night but I think we should call this a onetime thing. I have a history with Dawn and…"

"I get it," Cheresa cuts her off. "I am relieved that you said that first Shelley because I feel the same way. If Dawn found out about this, she would be so hurt by it."

"I hate keeping secrets," Shelley nods back to her. "But you're right, Dawn can never find out about us. She won't hear it from me, that's for sure!"

"She won't hear it from me either," Cheresa gulps heavily, realizing that she now has a secret that she is keeping herself.

The Sugarbowl

Albertinah quickly grabs her latte from the barista and puts a lid on her cup. She turns and freezes when she sees Trenyce sitting alone at the window bar of the coffeehouse. Immediately, Albertinah thinks back to how she ran into Chris and he told her that Trenyce had slept with someone else and they were on the outs as a result. She can't believe that Trenyce would do something like that to her brother. She finds herself moving up to the younger woman.

"Well, well, well," Albertinah says approaching her. "What do we have here?"

"Albertinah?" Trenyce turns in surprise. The last person she expected to see coming into the coffeehouse today was Albertinah; she didn't realize she was back in town after all this time. "I can't believe this! You're back?"

"Yes, I just recently came back to town," she replies to her coldly. "I saw Chris already."

"And Andrew?"

"I haven't seen him nor do I plan on seeing him," Albertinah tells her. "What happened between Andrew and I will stay in the past. I have moved on from it."

"That's awesome, I'm so glad that you're home."

"I heard that you strayed from my brother while I was gone."

Trenyce sighs back to her wishing that Chris wouldn't have said anything to her. "It was a mistake," she replies to her Albertinah. "I wish I could take it back, but I can't. I just hope that Chris can find it in his heart to forgive me somehow."

"A mistake?" Albertinah chuckles back to her. "A mistake would have been owning up to it immediately and telling Chris the truth. Instead, you lied to him for weeks about it!"

"I didn't want to hurt him or Cheresa," she replies to her quickly. "I know I screwed up, now I just need to find a way to make it right."

"Well good luck with that," Albertinah rolls her eyes back to her. "Because the Chris I saw was not in a forgiving mood."

***

At the back table, Meggan and Brad sit across from Victoria as they all have coffees in front of them. Meggan asked Victoria to meet her and Brad to further discuss the fact that Victoria revealed that she discovered a secret passage way in the study of the Victors mansion; of course, this is alarming because Vinny had told Victoria that he had the passages removed from the house. Victoria also thought she heard voices when she opened the passage, which now leads to the questions of who was in the tunnels?

"Was it easy escaping from Vinny this morning?" Brad asks her before he takes a sip of his coffee.

"You make it sound like he is holding me hostage," Victoria uneasily replies to him. "I told him that I was meeting my Mom, and he said okay. There wasn't anything more to it."

"Sorry, I just don't trust the guy," Brad tells her quickly. "And you shouldn't either now that you know he has been lying to you."

"We have to stay focused," Meggan interrupts them. "We have to figure out a way to ensure that Victoria is alone in the mansion so she can open the passage way again."

"I think I have an idea," Brad admits to them both as Victoria arches her eyebrow. "I have these sleeping pills. If you give Vinny a couple of them, he will be knocked out and you can investigate while he sleeps."

"You want me to drug him?" Victoria gasps back to him. "No, there has to be another way. I don't want to drug Vinny."

"I think if you try to get him out the mansion, he will think something is going on," Brad replies to her. "You don't want to give him any way to suspect that you're on to him. This might be the only way."

"I actually agree with Brad on this," Meggan stuns Victoria. "You're just giving him a sleeping pill. He'll be fine. But it'll give you enough time to get in and out of the passage way without doing real harm. This could be a lot worse."

Victoria uneasily sighs back to them. "Ugh fine," she waves her hand in the air. "I'll give him a sleeping pill. But I don't like this one little bit."

Dominick's Townhouse

"You don't seem to be in the best of mood's today," Dominick notes to his wife, who is standing at the window looking outside with a coffee in her hand. Normally, Eva is chipper and bubbly in the morning but today she is quiet and not her normal self, which makes Dominick think that something is going on with her. He knows that they haven't been seeing eye to eye exactly lately for many different reasons; he just wants to put his marriage back on track so they can be happy with each other. "Can I do anything to change that?"

"I'm afraid I just have a lot on my mind," Eva replies to him quickly. "Donovan and Lukas might move ahead with the adoption after all; Victoria is still living in that damn mansion with Vinny Victors and our marriage, well I have no idea where we stand anymore, Dominick."

"I am standing next to you wanting to make things right," Dominick comes up behind her. "I hate this friction between us, Eva."

"Do you?" she turns to face him. "I saw you the other day, you know. I saw you and Felicia in your office holding one another."

Dominick uneasily gulps back to her. "She stopped by to discuss how I beat Roboto to the shelves with the serum. We ended up embracing. It was nothing."

"It's never nothing with that woman! That's the entire point," Eva hisses back to him. "Are you sleeping with her, Dominick? Just be honest with me!"

"Of course not," Dominick comes up to her quickly. "I am in love with you, Eva. I am not sleeping with Felicia. We are close yes, but she is my ex-wife."

Eva shakes her head as water fills her eyes. "I want to believe you…"

"Then believe me," Dominick puts his hands on her shoulders. "Darling, I want this marriage more than you know. I don't want this to come between us."

Eva gasps out for air as he pulls her into a hug and holds her. If what he is saying is true, then she is the one who has strayed from the marriage, not Dominick. As she shuts her eyes, she can't help but think about a hot, sweaty Will making love to her.

"What have I done?" she whispers to herself.

"Sorry? What did you say?" Dominick asks her as they exit their embrace.

"Just that I love you," Eva looks into his eyes, as he wipes one of her tears away. "I want this marriage too, Dominick. More than you know."

Roboto

"Would someone answer me?" Natasha demands from Kim, Robbie and Cassie as she drops her purse down on the main desk in the office of Roboto.. "Why is my mother's marriage going to explode?"

"You have to stay calm about this," Kim replies to her quickly, knowing that Natasha will not be happy about the update. "But, I have some news."

Natasha arches her eyebrow and glares at her former best friend. "Continue."

"Will Coutts and your mother slept together," Kim slowly says back to her. "Eva has cheated on Dominick."

Natasha feels the blood drain from her face as she is stunned by the news. "I … I don't believe this," Natasha replies to her quickly. "I thought I told you not to pursue this! I thought I told you to leave my mother alone!"

"But now we have a way to get back at Robertson," Cassie interjects. "If the truth about Eva and Will comes out, Dominick will not be focused on work at all. It's our way to get back on top."

Natasha feels her blood boil at everything they saying back to her. "You two are disgusting! This is my mother we are talking about! I'm not going to throw her under the bus just to come out on top! This isn't happening, not on my watch!"
