The Victors Mansion

"Vinny, please, you don't have to do this," a shaky Victoria quivers to her lover, who has pulled a gun on her since Victoria, Brad and Meggan have located Daisy and Brett in the cage in the secret passage way in the Victors mansion. When Victoria first located the secret passage, the last thing she expected to find was an alive Daisy and Brett being held against their will. She can't believe that Vinny has been holding people hostage for months and lying to her about it. She feels like a fool but she also realizes that she has to talk Vinny out of shooting her, or anyone else, for that matter. "Put the gun down."

"You don't get to tell me what to do," Vinny sneers back to her, as Meggan looks into the cage and tries to calm Daisy and Brett down, as they are pacing back and forth. "This is going to end the way I want it to end, not the other way around."

"Vinny, are you really willing to shoot and kill five people?" Brad asks him, trying to get through to him. "You can't actually want to do that!"

"Brad is right," Daisy pleads with him from behind the cage. "You have held us hostage but you never actually wanted us dead, Vinny. If you wanted that, you could have killed us so many times over the last few months."

"I know that this doesn't look good," Victoria tells him as they lock eyes with one another. "But, you and I have been building towards something really special Vinny. This doesn't have to change that. We can get through this together. Just put the gun down."

Vinny bursts into laughter at everyone trying to get him to put the gun down. "You're right about one thing," he stops laughing and looks back at Victoria. "I can't shoot 5 people in cold blood. But I will kill you all."

"If you're not going to shoot us, then what are you going to do?" Brett asks his brother.

"This," Vinny says as he pulls out a small box from his pocket.

"What is that?" Meggan asks him in fear of what it is.

Vinny chuckles back to her. "I'm so glad someone asked," he winks back to them. "This is how I'm going to kill you all," he says with an evil laugh.

The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas & Donovan's Home


Lukas moves into the living room of the estate he shares with his husband and Meggan and spies his Donovan pouring himself a drink. Lukas recalls how they were at the One Day House earlier in the day when another couple recognized him from the recent rape charges that Craig filed against him. Donovan ended up rushing out as he was not amused.

"That looks like a double to me," Lukas notes as he puts a smile on his face. "Are you going to be okay?"

Donovan takes a sip of his scotch before he turns to face his husband. "I'll be fine," he replies to him quickly. "I just hated what just happened at the adoption agency."

"I know and it is my fault."

"Don't say that," Donovan shakes his head back to him. "It is no one's fault, exactly."

"If I hadn't…" Lukas begins to reply to him. "Well, you know what happened. I don't need to state it again. I want you to know Donovan that I will make this up to you. You won't have to feel this way forever."

Donovan pulls him into a hug and holds him closer. "I think once we get our baby everything will be fine," he tells Lukas. "That's all I want, is for us to be a family."

"We will be babe," Lukas tells him. "I'll make sure of it."

The Pampa Grill

"That woman has a lot of nerve," Albertinah rolls her eyes back to Chris as they sit together in the middle of the restaurant. Chris just finished telling his sister that he saw Trenyce and Brad together earlier in the day at the coffeehouse. He hates that Trenyce slept with Brad but she is also continuing to see him at every turn. He wishes that she would not engage with him at all anymore. "How can she still be spending time with the man that she strayed with?"

"I don't know," Chris admits to her before he takes a swig of his beer. "But, Tina, seeing them together makes my blood boil."

"I can only imagine," she says before she takes a sip of her white wine. "I just can't believe her; it's bad enough that she slept with him but to throw it in your face at every turn? I don't think I ever knew the real Trenyce. There's only one thing left for you to do regarding that woman."

Chris arches his eyebrow back to her. "What do you think I have to do?"

"You have to move on," Albertinah replies to her brother. "The sooner you can get Trenyce out of your system, the better."

Chris sighs heavily back to her. "That's going to be easier said than done," he admits to her.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because," Chris looks her in the eyes. "I still love her, Tina. Despite everything, I am still in love with Trenyce."

At the back corner table, Robin takes a sip of her sparkling water while she waits for Adam to arrive. She had requested that he meet her so she can, somehow, tell him that she is expecting a child. Of course, she knows that based on the timing of this, it is likely that Shane is the father of the baby. She still can't believe that her affair with him in Paris has resulted in her having a baby. She just hopes that Adam is forgiving because after everything she has been through, having a baby is the most wonderful thing that has happened to her in a long time.

"Hey sorry I'm late," Adam says as he approaches the table. He leans across and gives her a kiss on the cheek. "You look beautiful today."

Robin blushes back to him. "You're sweet," she replies to him quickly. "And don't worry about being late. I haven't been here long."

"Your message made it sound important. Is everything okay?" Adam asks her back.

Robin gulps nervously. "Yea, everything is fine. I just wanted to talk to you. It is important that we do," she tells him, knowing that Shane only gave her 48 hours to tell Adam about the child.

"Ah," Adam nods back to her. "I think I know exactly what this is about."

"You do?" Robin asks him back in surprise.

"Yea," Adam replies to her. "You don't want me to see Helen anymore, right? You had asked me this before we went to Paris and I said I couldn't stay away from her because of Dawn. But after your fight that resulted in your fall, you don't me around her anymore, right?"

Robin picks up her water and realizes that she can't tell Adam yet. She still has to figure out the right words. "Uh," she begins to say. "Yea, that's right. That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Okay," Adam reaches over and grabs her hand. "I'll tell Helen that I can't see her anymore. I'll support this request because the last thing we need is for you and Helen to get physical with one another again."

Robin smiles back to him. "I don't know how I got so lucky," she says back to him. "Thanks Adam."

Robbie sits at the bar and takes a sip of his beer as he thinks about the recent events in his life. He was at work earlier in the day when Brooke surprised him by asking if they could get back together since her divorce to Greg was finalized. Having remembered Brooke admit that she still cared for Greg during her trial, Robbie turned her down and told her that he would support her as a friend but they couldn't be together in any other way. Then, Robbie saw Kim and Greg share a seemingly close moment which made him feel awkward as he has struggled to stop thinking about the kiss he and Kim recently shared.

"I have to get her out of my mind," Robbie whispers to himself. "The last thing I, or this family needs, is for me to become obsessed with my step mother."

"There you are," Kim says rushing up to Robbie. "I was hoping I could talk to you about Roboto? What do you think of these demands that Natasha made?"

Robbie uneasily looks back at Kim and immediately thinks about kissing her again. "You mean the demands about us not saying anything about Will and Eva?" he asks her as she nods back to him. "I think she's trying to save her mother's marriage. I don't think it's out of the question that she wouldn't want us to say anything to anyone."

Kim groans softly. "I know," she admits to him. "Honestly, I didn't think this plan of hiring Will to seduce Eva would work. But now that it has, I wish we could tell Dominick the truth. This could be a perfect way to get Roboto back on top."

"I think we need to respect Natasha's decision," Robbie tells her. "Imagine if it was Andy about to get his world imploded."

"I get it, I really do," she sighs back to him. "Fine, I won't say anything. I don't like it, but I won't say anything."

"Good," Robbie smiles back to her. "I saw you with Greg earlier," he changes the topic. "Looks like you two are getting closer."

Kim looks back at him in surprise. "I'm surprised you care?"

"I don't," Robbie quickly tells her. "If you want to be with Greg, then you should be. There's absolutely nothing stopping you from doing whatever it is you want."

Twin Peaks Executive Hotel

Greg paces around his hotel room with a sly grin on his face. He looks over to the large king size bed and gets a smile on his face as he thinks about how he and Kim just recently made love; it was the first time in a few weeks that they connected in that way and he is thrilled because he needed her again, especially after his divorce with Brooke became finalized.

"I want to do something for you Kim," he whispers to himself. "Something that will make you realize how serious I am for you. Something that will blow you away."

He pauses and wonders what kind of romantic gesture he could do for her to prove himself to her. "I will think of something," he tells himself. "I have too."

Before he can say anything else, he sees his phone flash indicating that he missed a call. "I wonder if that was Kim calling to schedule another appointment," he chuckles to himself as he moves over to his phone. He dials his voicemail and pauses as he listens to the recording.

"Interesting," he says as he deletes the message. "Brooke has left town and doesn't know when she will be back. That's not a bad thing," he tells himself. "Especially since I can focus on getting Kim. Bye, bye Brooke. Safe travels," he smirks to himself.

Roboto

Cassie moves up to the bar in the main office of the Roboto and pours herself a gin and tonic. She takes a sip of it as she recalls the meeting that Natasha held earlier in the day when she demanded that no member of the Roboto team say anything about Eva's affair with Will. Cassie knows that Natasha doesn't want her mother's marriage to be ruined, but Cassie also knows that this affair could be the way for her to carry out the next phase of her plan.

"If Dominick's life was falling apart because Eva can't keep her legs shut," Cassie tells herself as she takes a sip of her drink. "Then it could help me get one hand up on things. Roboto would be chaotic which would be perfect, and Robertson would be a mess which is also perfect. I have to leak this story."

She taps her finger on the end of the bar as she thinks about how she could reveal the affair without it getting traced back to her. "That's it," she says to herself as she moves back to the desk and sits down. She picks up the office phone and dials a number.

"Hi," she says using a fake accent. "Is this the Twin Peaks Sun? Oh perfect," she smiles to herself. "I have a story for you that you simply must run."

The Victors Mansion

"You see," Vinny continues to taunt his captors. "Before I had Daisy and Brett moved into the dungeon, I had some explosive devices planted through these secret passages to ensure that they would never escape alive. This little box, it will set them off."

"Bombs?" Victoria gasps back to him. "You rigged your own house with bombs?"

Vinny chuckles back to her. "I had to ensure my possessions remained secure."

"We aren't your possessions!" Daisy yells at him. "You have kept us locked up like dogs for months!"

"You are a bitch," Vinny sneers at her. "For sleeping with Tyler while we were married!"

"Most people seek therapy or get drunk to get over heartbreak," Brett tells his brother. "Not blow up mansions with people inside!"

"Please Vinny," Victoria pleads with him. "Like I told you, we can work through this together. I don't want to lose what we have been building together. What do you say? Put the box down, let's work this out?"

Vinny looks into Victoria's eyes and wonders if she is telling the truth. "Please Vinny, for us," Victoria purses her lips together as she reaches out her hand for him to put the box in. "Give me the box."

Vinny slowly starts to put the box in her hand when, suddenly, Brad leaps towards him and tries to tackle him down to the ground. A fight breaks out and Vinny punches Brad until he falls back. Vinny then points the gun at Brad.

"Don't you fucking move," Vinny sneers at him. "This little game ends and it ends now," he says as he raises the box and prepares to push the button. "Say goodbye because you're all about to die!"
