Robertson Enterprises; The Studio

"You're here early this morning," Max notes over to Paige, who scurries into the studio carrying a takeout coffee from the Sugarbowl in her hand. He can't help but notice how beautiful she looks; he still hopes that somehow, he can break her and Jacob up so they can be together again. "Busy day planned?"

"You have no idea," Paige nods back to him. "I'm actually surprised you're here. I heard about your Dad's accident, is he okay?"

"I'm heading back to the hospital soon," Max tells her. "He was still in surgery and I wanted to get some things done. I'll be there when he gets out of the operation."

"Has there been any word on his condition? He will be okay?"

Max shrugs his shoulders back to her. "I'm hoping that everything is okay," Max admits to her. "I'm trying not to think about anything negative, you know?"

"Keep me posted?" she asks him as he nods to her. "Before you leave, I have some news for you that I wanted you to hear from me."

Max arches his eyebrow back to her. "What is it? Is everything okay?"

Paige nods back to him. "Everything is great," she smiles as he holds up her finger and reveals the diamond ring. "Jacob and I are engaged. We are going to be married."

Max gulps hard as he looks back at her. Immediately, he forces a smile on his face and moves up to her and gives her a hug even though the news is upsetting to him. He had hoped to split the couple up so he and Paige could reunite. Now, she is engaged to another man. "Congratulations," he says as he holds the woman he loves. "If this is what you want, then I'm happy for you."

At the entry way, Jacob opens the door and sees Max holding his fiancé. He glares at them for a moment and can't help but feel his insecurities start to arise. He quickly leaves unseen, hoping to get his head on straight. The last thing he needs is for Paige to think that he doesn't trust her again.

"This is what I want," Paige replies to Max as they exit their embrace. "Thanks for your support."

"Always Paige," Max uneasily nods back to her. "Anyways, I should get to the hospital. We'll be in touch?"

"Of course, keep me posted on Adam."

Max rushes out of the studio and leans up against the hallway wall, feeling his heart racing. "Damn it," he whispers to himself as he grabs his phone. He starts to send his mother a text message, "Paige and Jacob are engaged, we must break them up ASAP."

After he sends the message, he scurries away, knowing that he has to get to the hospital as quickly as he can to find out about Adam's surgery.

The Sugarbowl

Cory moves into the coffeehouse looking to grab a beverage before he heads to the One Day House to start his work day. He is grateful that Nicholas was able to hire him on as he was feeling like he needed a new purpose; the fact that he will be helping so many people is an added bonus to him.

After he grabs his coffee, he happens to see Jeff sitting at the window bar by himself. He wonders if the reason that Jeff has been telling everyone that he and Leah are together is because he wants to create drama so he can get Leah back. He wouldn't blame Jeff if that was the case as he has realized what a catch Leah is; but, he wants to make sure that Jeff knows not to pull any funny business with her.

"Morning," Cory says as he approaches Jeff, who turns to face him. "I'm glad I ran into you."

"Are you?" Jeff asks him back quickly. "If this is going to turn into one of those lectures that Leah has been giving him about how I've created drama by revealing your affair, you can save it. I've heard it all before."

"I wasn't going to lecture you at all," Cory replies to him quickly. "I was going to tell you that your plan isn't going to work."

"My plan?" Jeff asks him back, dumbfounded by what he is talking about. "What plan do you think I have?"

"The plan to create chaos for Leah and I so you can get her back," Cory tells him. "I know what you're trying to do Jeff, and it's not going to work."

Jeff laughs back to him. "Man, if you think I did all that to get back with Leah, you're more foolish than I gave you credit for. I have no intentions of getting back together with my ex-wife."

"Good," Cory nods back to him. "Just keep it that way."

The Calimo Mansion

"I can't thank you enough for letting me stay here last night," Eva tells Natasha as she pours herself a cup of coffee in the living room of the Calimo mansion. After Dominick kicked her out of the townhouse the previous night, Eva had no idea where she was going to go. Thankfully, Natasha was still awake and the mansion has plenty of room for her to stay in.

"Of course," Natasha purses her lips together "You know that you're always welcome here. I still can't believe that someone leaked your affair to the press. If I ever find out who did that…"

Eva chuckles back to her. "I guess it is my fault for sleeping with Will in the first place," Eva says back to her. "I should have known better."

"We have all made mistakes," Natasha tells her mother. "But not everyone has their mistakes plastered all over the media like that."

"I just hate that I've hurt Dominick," Eva admits to him. "I don't think he will ever forgive me."

"And what about Will? Where do things stand with you and him?"

Eva uneasily looks back at her daughter as she knows that she is still very attracted to Will but she has to keep her distance from him because she wants her marriage to work. "I…"

"Good morning, I'm glad I found you Natasha," Cassie announces as she storms into the living room. "I have that file that you desperately wanted."

"Cassie," Natasha stands up from the sofa. "Who let you in here? I was in the middle of a private conversation with my mother!"

"I let myself in," Cassie quips back to her. "The door was unlocked. And, good morning Eva. I'm guessing you're staying here now as a result of your affair?"

"That's none of your damn business!" Eva shrieks back to her.

Cassie chuckles back to herself. "Don't get your panties in a knot," Cassie tells her. "Has Natasha told you that she knew all along that Will was trying to seduce you yet? Is that what you were discussing?"

Eva looks over at Natasha in horror, wondering what Cassie is talking about. Natasha glares back to Cassie, stunned by her revelation. The last thing Eva needed to find out today was that Kim hired Will to seduce her; she is going through enough as it is.

"What is she talking about?" Eva asks her daughter as her voice cracks a little, not sure what is going on. "Natasha?"

"Kim hired Will to seduce you," Cassie stuns Eva. "We wanted to get the upper hand in the corporate world and thought if Dominick's world was falling apart, Robertson Enterprises would take the hit."

"I…" Eva starts to say as she gets tears in her eyes, horrified that Natasha put business over her own mother.

"Mom, I can explain," Natasha says as Eva rushes out of the room. Natasha glares at Cassie. "You bitch, are you happy now?"

"Actually, I am," Cassie smiles back to her. "I've never been happier."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Shane, how is Chris? How was his surgery?" Albertinah asks the doctor, who is approaching her, Trenyce and Andrew in the hallway of the hospital. They are waiting outside of Chris' hospital room, where he is still asleep as they are waiting for him to awake post his operation.

"He's very lucky," Shane admits to Chris' family. He was going pretty fast when he made impact with Adam's vehicle. He had some internal bleeding in and around his shoulder blade, but we were able to stop that. His shoulder is in pretty bad shape but with some physio, I expect him to make a full recovery."

"Oh thank God," Trenyce pulls Andrew into a hug after hearing the news. "Can we see him?"

"One person at a time," Shane nods back to them. "I don't want to overwhelm him. And, you should know that Simona Lopez was here earlier asking questions about Chris' status."

"Why was the detective asking questions about Chris?" Andrew asks the doctor back.

"I was asking questions about Chris because he's going to be charged," Simona announces to the group as she approaches them. "His blood alcohol limit was way over the designated amount; he's going to be charged with reckless driving and impaired driving. Depending on how Adam Black manages, he might get manslaughter."

"What?" Albertinah gasps back to her. "That means he could face jail time!"

"That's exactly what it means," Simona nods back to her, as Albertinah uneasily looks over at Trenyce and Andrew, while Chris continues to sleep in his hospital room.

***

"The waiting is killing me," Robin says as she paces back and forth in the waiting room of the hospital. She, Helen and Dawn are still waiting to get some kind of update about Adam's surgery. She still can't believe that Adam was involved in a car accident after he learned that is pregnant with Shane's baby; this all seems surreal to her.

"Me too," Helen admits to Robin. "But I am sure that we will hear something soon."

"None of this would have happened if you hadn't followed us to Paris," Robin replies to her quickly. "You realize that everything that has happened lately is a result of that, right?"

"Oh please," Helen rolls her eyes back to her. "I am not to blame for everything that happens in this town, Robin."

"I'm so tired of you walking around acting like you're a saint!" Robin yells back to her. "You're not, Helen!"

"Hey, that's enough!" Dawn yells at the women. "My Dad is fighting for his life, the last thing I need is to hear you two squabbling about nothing! Get it together!"

"You're right, I'm sorry baby," Helen hugs her daughter. "We have to stay strong for Adam's sake."

Before anyone can reply, Shane moves into the waiting room. "Ladies," he announces to them. "Adam has survived surgery."

"Thank God," Robin breathes a sigh of relief. "How is he?"

"He hit his head pretty badly when his vehicle flipped over," Shane reveals to them. "The good news is that he was wearing his seat belt; that likely saved his life."

"What's the bad news?" Dawn asks him back.

"He has a broken leg, arm and a fractured spine," Shane informs them. "But, we have gotten everything under control. When you see him, you'll notice that he has a bandage around his head; that's just from the large cut he got and because he hit his head pretty badly."

"But he will be okay?" Helen asks him.

"He should be, yes," Shane uneasily smiles back to them. "We will know more once he wakes up."

"Thank you Shane," Robin says as she rushes up and hugs him, which causes Dawn and Helen to look at each other in surprise. "Thank you for saving Adam's life."

BarCode

Nicholas opens the door to the bar and quickly moves inside, desperate to find the guy that Dawn told him was a Reese look alike. He was having a drink at the bar the night before when a handsome stranger approached him; they started talking, and admittedly flirted, with one another. Dawn arrived and told Nicholas the man looked exactly like Andy's dead husband, Reese. Because it was so late, Nicholas agreed to let the guy go home and go to bed but he demanded that he meet him there in the morning to get answers.

He sees the man sitting in a booth and quickly walks over to him. "I'm surprised to see you," Nicholas tells him as he sits across from him. "After I let you leave last night, I didn't think I'd see you again."

The man shrugs his shoulders. "I told you that I'd come back and here I am."

"Why do you look like Reese Wilkins? What is going on here?"

The guy takes a sip of his coffee. "They say everyone has a doppelgänger out there," he uneasily chuckles back to him.

"This isn't funny," Nicholas replies to him sternly. "My boyfriend, Andy, has been tormented these last few months by visions of his dead spouse, which you are a dead ringer for. Now, I'm going to ask you again, what is going on here?"

"You know what? You're right," the man says as he stands up from the booth. "This was a mistake. I shouldn't have come back here this morning."

"You're not going anywhere," Nicholas stands up and moves closer to him. "Not until you tell me everything that I need to know. Now, start talking."

The Tower's; Floor One; Andy's Condo

Andy lays on his sofa with his eyes half opened and half closed. He hasn't fully fallen asleep yet as he is scared that he will have yet another vision of Reese; he can't handle seeing his dead husband anymore. After Reese passed away, it took Andy months to get over his death and when he finally realized that Reese was at peace, Andy was able to move on. The last few months, however, Andy has continued to see Reese in various places and now he is wondering if Reese is actually resting peacefully.

Andy rolls over and grabs the half emptied bottle of whiskey and moves it to his mouth. He takes another hearty swig and swallows it down.

"Man, I've miss you," he says looking at the bottle with a grin on his face. "Why'd I ever stop drinking?"

He leans up and takes another drink of the whiskey. He stands up and looks around the apartment. "Hey Reese? Reese are you here?" Andy slurs his words as he looks around the apartment. "I'm in a real good space if you wanna talk now? You wanna talk baby?"

There is no movement in the apartment so Andy starts to laugh out loud. "Of course now that I want you here, you're nowhere to be seen! Where are you baby?"

Andy moves into the kitchen and starts looking around. "Reese? Reese, where are you?"

He opens a drawer and freezes when he sees his gun in the drawer. He slowly picks it up with his free hand and looks at the gun. "Oh boy, look like I found," he says with a grin on his face. "Bang!"
