The Pampa Grill

Lukas watches Meggan leave the restaurant as they finished their breakfast together. Lukas had mentioned to his sister that he and Donovan might move out of the mansion, which she was not overly thrilled about. She likes having the family together, and Lukas agrees. He realizes that once he and Donovan adopt a child, there will be another baby in the mansion, but they can deal with that it together. Meggan liked the idea of Logan growing up with his cousin close by.

Lukas stayed back at the restaurant because he can still see Jeff sitting at his table alone. He recalls how when he arrived at the Pampa Grill for breakfast, Meggan was sitting at Jeff's table and their hands were touching. After everything that has happened between Jeff and Meggan over the course of the last few years, the last thing Lukas wants is for his sister to get back involved with Jeff as he knows that he has caused his sister enough heartbreak to last a life time.

Lukas slowly stands up and makes his way over to Jeff's table. "We need to get a few things straight," Lukas announces as he sits across from Jeff.

Jeff looks up from his phone and arches his eyebrow back to him. "Good morning to you too, Lukas," Jeff replies to him quickly. "I'm not sure what this is about, but I am just about to leave as I have a meeting to get too at Robertson Enterprises."

"You're going to hear me out," Lukas says back to him. "I saw you and Meggan earlier, holding hands at this table. I don't know what that was all about but it's not going to happen again Jeff. You're not going to pull my sister into your drama again."

Jeff chuckles back to him. "I was telling Meggan that I'm glad she is okay following the explosions at the Victors mansion, Lukas. Nothing more is going on between us."

"Good, you better keep it that way."

"Need I remind you that she is the mother of my son?"

"You don't have to remind me of anything," Lukas quips back to him. "I remember every single time you've broken her heart, Jeff. So, I'm going to tell you again: stay the hell away from Meggan or you will answer to me."

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

"I can't believe that Natasha knew about Kim's plan and didn't try to stop it or warn you about it," Victoria shakes her head back to Eva and Donovan as they sit in the living room of the lavish estate that Donovan lives in. Eva just finished telling her children that Cassie revealed to her that Kim hired Will to seduce her in hopes of getting Roboto back on top in the corporate world. Once she learned the truth, Eva was livid and told Natasha she is no longer her daughter.

"Yea, it doesn't seem like something Natasha would do at all," Donovan agrees with his sister. "Are you sure these are the facts?"

"Cassie told me herself," Eva whispers back to her children. "And, I know that we can't always believe everything that woman says but Natasha didn't even try to deny it. She knew that she had been busted."

"Wow," Donovan says back to her. "How are you holding up with this news?"

"I'm gutted, obviously," Eva admits to them. "Not only did Natasha betray me but so did Will. How could I have been so stupid to believe first of all sleep with Will and putting my marriage at first but also believing that he actually care about me? This has turned into such a nightmare."

"Don't beat yourself up," Victoria tells her mother. "You and Dominick had been having problems for a while. Will was a distraction for you."

"Victoria is right," Donovan encourages her. "Now that you know the truth, you can use this to your advantage. You have to make Dominick understand that you were a victim as much as he was."

"Before I tell Dominick about what's happened, I have to do something else," Eva stands up and looks at her children. "And, it can't wait."

Roboto


"I hope you're all happy," Natasha fumes at Robbie, Kim and Cassie as she storms into the main office of Roboto. She has been in a foul mood ever since Eva lashed out at her for not saying anything about Kim's plan to get Roboto back on top of the corporate office was exposed. Natasha, in retrospect, should have told Eva the truth about what Kim wanted to do. Only, Natasha believed that her protesting the plan was enough for Kim, and the rest of the Roboto team, to stop moving forward. "Eva knows the truth and she is furious with me."

"Cassie was just telling us that she told Eva the truth," Kim looks over at her former best friend. "We were just wondering why Cassie would tell Eva the truth; it's not like we needed anyone to know what we did."

"I already know why Cassie told my mother everything," Natasha snarls at her enemy. "She wanted to hurt me, didn't you Cassie? This is typical Cassie Nova!"

"I thought Eva knew!" Cassie rolls her eyes back to the team. "You said that you and Eva were having a private conversation, I assumed that she knew the entire truth! How was I supposed to know that you were still lying to her?"

"Okay, okay," Robbie puts his hands in the air. "All of this fighting isn't going to solve anything. We have to act now if we want Roboto to get back on top. Everything that is happening between us because of our personal involvement can be resolved outside the office. Right now, while we are at work and that's what our focus needs to be on. This is the perfect time to get Roboto back on top."

"That's easy for you to say," Natasha yells back to everyone. "Your mother didn't just disown you because of this damn plan you all had! The last thing I am concerned about right now is getting back to the top of the corporate world! Sometimes, there are more important things and you all need to realize that!"

The Sugarbowl

"I'm glad that you agreed to sneak away with me this morning to grab a coffee," Leah tells her daughter as the stand in the lineup of the coffeehouse waiting to place their order. Leah looks at Paige and recalls how the previous night she and Jacob told her, Jeff, Shane and Natasha that they were engaged. Naturally, Leah and the rest of the parents were concerned that the relationship has moved quickly and that both Paige and Jacob are still very young to be married. "After your news last night, I wanted to talk to you again one on one."

"I hope this isn't going to turn into a lecture," Paige sighs back to her mother. "All Jacob and I want is for our families to support us. I don't think this is too much to ask for, do you?"

"You have to understand why we are concerned," Leah replies to her quickly. "You and Jacob, you haven't been together that long, Paige. And, like your father said last night, we don't understand what the rush is to get married. You have all the time in the world!"

"When two people love one another," Paige tells her quickly. "You want to be with that person, no matter what. That's how I'm feeling about Jacob, Mom. I love him and I want to be with him. I just wish you and Dad would understand that."

"I get that you love him," Leah looks into Paige's eyes. "I just wish you'd wait to get married. Marriage is forever, are you really ready to settle down with one guy for the rest of your life?"

Paige nods back to her. "With Jacob, yes," Paige nods to her. "I want to be his wife. Now please, can you tell me that you'll support me and my decision?"

Roboto

Cassie moves into the lobby of the Roboto building desperate to get out the office as she needs a break from the drama that is happening in the offices upstairs. While she knows why Natasha is pissed that she told Eva the truth about her plan, the truth is Cassie revealed the truth to cause turmoil within Roboto as well. It is a part of her master plan to try to get back at the Calimo's for all the hell that they have put her through.

She freezes for a moment when she sees Jacob walk into the building. She can't help but notice how dashing he is looking in his suit, which means he must have come over from Robertson Enterprises. Immediately, she recalls getting a message from Max telling that Jacob and Paige were engaged and that they needed to do something immediately to break the couple up.

"I hear congratulations are in order," Cassie purses her lips together as she moves up to her former lover.

"You heard correctly," Jacob uneasily nods back to her. "I asked Paige to marry me, and she said yes."

"Are you using her too to get back the family?" Cassie asks him before she chuckles back to him. "Don't answer that, I already know the answer."

"Good because I didn't think it was a very funny," Jacob replies to her. "What you and I had is long over. I hope that this makes you realize that, Cassie."

"I still love you Jacob," Cassie admits to him. "And, I think deep down you are still in love with me. I know you're with Paige and blah, blah, blah but the fact of the matter is, she will never be half the woman I am. And you know that it's true. Just know that I won't wait forever for you. So, if you want this, you better come get it before it's too late."

Jacob looks at her and gulps. He is about to say something but she cuts him off. "No response is required," she puts her finger on his lips. "Don't keep me waiting too long, stud."

Jacob turns and watches Cassie exit the building. He turns back around and takes a deep breath as he feels some sweat on his forehead. Despite everything, he can't help but find Cassie to be a very attractive woman.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"What the hell is going on?" Robin asks Shane as she, Helen and Dawn all exit Adam's hospital room. They were just inside Adam's hospital room when he woke up and called Helen his wife; everyone was stunned by his revelation. Adam, still recovering from the car accident, went back to sleep to get some rest and now his family needs to know what is going on with him. "Why did Adam refer to Helen as his wife when they have been divorced for years?"

Shane sighs back to her. "It's like I told you earlier," he begins to tell her. "Adam had a pretty severe head injury; he is likely just confused about what is going on right now."

"It was like he had forgotten the last five years or so," Dawn tells the doctor. "Is that common for people to have short term amnesia?"

"It's very common," Shane nods back to her. "The brain is likely confused and with time, he will get his full memory back."

"I hate that he thinks that he is still with Helen," Robin fumes to everyone. "He is my fiancé for crying out loud!"

"Don't worry," Helen rolls her eyes back to her. "Shane just told you that after a day or two, Adam's memory will come back. And in the meantime, we can just pretend that we are a happy family. The key word is pretend."

"I hope his memory comes back sooner rather than later," Robin tells everyone. "Because, I have a bad feeling about this, a really bad feeling."

BarCode

"I told you to start talking," Nicholas glares back to the man who looks just like Reese as they stand in the bar. Nicholas got up and prevented the doppelgänger from leaving the bar when he thought it was a bad idea that he was staying. Nicholas doesn't understand why a guy who looks like just Reese is in Twin Peaks, especially since Andy has been having visions of his dead husband for months now. "Why do you look like Reese Wilkins? What is going on here?"

"I told you that this was a mistake," the guy grits his teeth back to him. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm getting the hell out of here."

Nicholas grabs the guys arm and prevents him from leaving. Nicholas throws him up against the wall. "Start talking!" he yells at him. "What the hell is going on here?"

The guy pushes Nicholas off him and tries to catch his breath. "It was your mother's idea, okay? She hired me to play a ghost."

"What?" Nicholas asks in confusion. "My mother? Melissa?"

"Yea, Melissa Young," the man nods back to him. "She hired me to visit Andy and pretend that my name is Reese. She said it would scare him or something."

Nicholas feels the blood drain from his face realizing that his mother has been gaslighting Andy for months, to the point where Andy is struggling to sleep and ended their relationship. Nicholas can't believe that this is true but he did think that it was odd how quickly Melissa changed her tune about Andy; for months before she left town, she was dead set against Nicholas being with Andy, however, she seemingly had a change of heart before she offered the mansion to Nicholas. Now, he knows why: she had planned to gaslight Andy the entire time.

"I don't believe this," Nicholas says in shock and awe. "My mother paid you to pretend to be Reese? And you went along with it?"

"I can't say no to a pay cheque," the man shrugs his shoulders. "It's not my fault I look like this Reese person!?"

"I…" Nicholas stutters realizing that he has to get to Andy. "I have to get out of here!"

The man watches as Nicholas rushes away before he runs his hands through his hair. "Was it something I said?"

Twin Peaks Executive Hotel

"Eva, what a surprise," Will says as he opens the door to his hotel suite and sees his lover standing on the other side. "I hadn't heard from you in a few days, I can't imagine what you're going through with the leaking of our affair coming out."

"You have no idea, huh?" Eva quips to him as she moves inside and throws her purse on the bed. "Did you leak the affair, Will?"

"Of course not," he replies to her quickly. "I know the kind of man your husband is, I don't have a death wish."

"Has Dominick come to see you?"

"No, not yet," Will admits to her. "But, I am expecting it anytime. I haven't left the room in a few days, I don't want to run into him."

"That's probably a very wise move," she nods back to him. "I learned something today, Will."

Will arches his eyebrow back to her. "What did you learn?"

"That Kim Calimo paid you to seduce me," she yells at him. "You never really cared about me the way you claimed too, you were only doing what you were told to do!"

Will feels the blood drain from his face. "Okay, I know how bad this looks," he tells her. "And, yes, Kim did pay me to spend time with you and to seduce you, but I always cared about you, and spending this time with you Eva, it has made me realize how much I care about you."

Eva laughs back to him. "God, it must be so easy for you to say that now that you've been caught," she tells him. "You accepted money to sleep with me, Will! How could you do that to me and my marriage if you claim to care about me?"

"I just got out of jail," he shrugs back to her. "I needed the income and who else was going to hire me?"

"You have an excuse for everything," Eva shrieks back to him. "The bottom line is that you betrayed me, Will! And because of that, I never want to see you again!"

Eva pushes past him to leave the hotel room. Without thinking, Will grabs her arms and swings her back around. "You don't mean that," Will tells her. "You know damn well that we felt something for each other."

Eva slaps him hard across the face. "Don't you ever grab me like that again," she spits at him. "And, anything I might have felt for you, Will, it left the moment I realized you pimped yourself out for cash. You're…you're disgusting!"
