Banff, Canada; The Pyramid Cabins

Jacob and Paige uneasily look at one another as they remained tied up to some chairs that are in the garage of their cabin; neither one of them can actually believe that Cassie appeared in Banff and pulled a gun on them after Jacob refused to take her back. Jacob is still horrified that Cassie drugged him in order to have sex with him a few weeks earlier; the fact that she thought they would get back together is further proof that she is out of her mind, he realizes.

"Cassie, please," Paige pleads with crazed woman. "You don't have to do this! You don't have to kill us because Jacob doesn't want to be with you."

Cassie chuckles back to her. "You have no idea what I have been through in my life," Cassie hisses back to her. "Years and years of always being someone's second choice, first by Jacob's father and now him, has been more than I can handle. Years of being chastised by Jacob's family. I'm tired of it! You see, I have been working on a plan of revenge for a very long time and I can finally carry it out."

"What do you mean?" Jacob asks her in concern. "What have you done, Cassie?"

"Let's just say that I have ensured my future will be very bright," Cassie teases him. "And, you could have been a part of that, Jacob. But you refuse to see what is in front of you."

"I'm sorry Cassie," Jacob replies to her quickly. "I am, I am beginning to realize that you're right, we should be together!"

Paige looks back at him in surprise and realizes what he is doing. "Yea, I don't want to be with Jacob anyways," she interjects. "Not after he cheated on me with you. You can have him Cassie!"

"Come on baby," Jacob looks back at her with desperation in his eyes. "Let's get out of here, what do you say?"

"I say, nice try," Cassie glares back at them. "You have to think I'm pretty stupid to fall for that now," she says as she opens the garage door.

"Where are you going?" Paige asks her in a panic. "Don't leave us here!"

"I'll be right back," Cassie smiles to them as she walks out of the garage.

Jacob and Paige look at one another in horror as they see Cassie open the rental car door; he headlights turn on and point directly at them.

The Pampa Grill

"Yes, this is Dr. Shane Glubbs," Shane says into his cell phone as Max, Jeff, Leah, Natasha and Cory all sit at the table and look on in worry. Natasha, Leah and Cory have arrived and have been filled in on Max's theory that Cassie might hurt Jacob and Paige; they just hope that they are able to get to their children before it is too late. "I need a flight to Banff, Canada and I need it as soon as possible. I have Natasha Calimo's approval to use her private jet."

"This is a nightmare," Leah shakes her head back to everyone. "My daughter thought it was necessary to elope because we have pushed her away because we didn't approve of this damn relationship."

"And now Cassie might be on their trial because of her damn obsession with my son," Natasha worries. "I swear to God I will kill that woman if she hurts Jacob."

"Hey, let's not think the worst, okay?" Cory puts his hand on his ex-wife's back, which Leah notices. "We will find Paige and Jacob, and hopefully, Cassie isn't anywhere hear them."

"She better damn well hope she's not near Jacob," Natasha hisses back to him. "Because, she will answer to me if she does."

"I don't want to think my Mom will hurt them," Max chimes in. "I just have a bad feeling about this."

"You did the right thing by bringing us in the loop," Leah replies to him. "You're a good kid, despite your mother's actions."

"Okay," Shane comes back to the table. "We can leave in 20 minutes. Jeff, Max, you two come with me, the rest of you hang tight, and we'll be in touch."

"We'll catch the next flight that we can," Leah stands up and hugs them goodbye, knowing there's only room for three on the private jet. "Do whatever you can to bring our daughter home," she looks into Jeff's eyes. "Please, Jeff."

"Don't worry, I won't let Cassie Nova hurt Paige or Jacob. We will stop her."

"Okay guys, let's go," Shane says as the three men rush out of the room, leaving Leah, Natasha and Cory with their worries and fears about what is happening in Canada.

Tyler's Townhouse

"I take it that Brett is getting settled in okay?" Tyler asks Daisy as he pours two glasses of red wine and brings one to Daisy, who is sitting on the sofa. He knows that Daisy went to see Brett to ensure he was okay after getting released from the hospital. While he understands that Daisy is feeling connected to Brett because of their experience together being hostage by Vinny, but he wishes that she would separate herself. He can't help but feel jealous of their newfound connection and this has made him find it more difficult to forget his time with Natasha.

"He is doing well, yes" Daisy accepts the glass of wine as Tyler sits next to her as their fire in the fire place rages on. "He is finding it odd living in a home that belonged to Vinny, and I can't say I blame him."

"You lived there while you were married to Vinny," Tyler nods back to her. "Being there must be felt weird to you too."

"It brought up a lot of memories," Daisy admits to him as she takes a sip of her wine. "There was a time when Vinny was a good man. It seems like a life time ago, though."

"I am sorry about everything that happened," Tyler tells her. "I wish I had clued in sooner as to what Vinny was up too."

"There was no way to know," she says back to him. "Vinny covered his tracks, he was a smart man. And, you wouldn't have had the chance to be with Natasha if you had clued in. Sorry, that came out wrong."

"Are you upset with me?" he asks her quickly. "You told me you understood!"

"I did and I do," Daisy waves her hand back to him. "It still just hurts, you know?"

"Well if you're going there, I can say that it hurts that you're still close to Brett. I feel like I'm on the outside looking in now."

"We shared something that only the two of us can understand," she replies to him quickly. "But, I shouldn't need to explain that to you."

Tyler looks at Daisy as she stands up from the sofa. "Where are you going?" he asks her as she sets her wine down on the table.

"To bed," she replies quickly. "In the guest room, I'm feeling like I need some space."

Tyler sighs heavily as Daisy exits the room. He runs his hand through his hair as he wonders if he and Daisy will ever be able to bridge this gap that is between them right now.

The Black House; Adam, Helen & Dawn's Home

"I am beginning to get worried about Dawn," Helen moves into the living room of the house she is living in with Adam, who is still suffering from short term memory loss from this car accident with Chris. Helen is still pretending to be married to Adam as Shane suggested that if Adam learned the entire truth of the last five years, it could impact his recovery. She knows that Robin is livid with her because she and Adam are sharing a bed, but Helen refuses to back down from playing the charade. She even suggested that Adam make love to her again, which she knows is going far but she can't help but want her husband back. "It's not like her to be late and not call us."

"I'm sure she's fine," Adam tells her as she sits next to him on the sofa. "We have to accept that our little girl isn't so little anymore."

Helen chuckles back to him. "You're telling me," she puts her hand on his leg. "Where has the time gone?"

"It has flown by, that is for sure," Adam tells her as he leans in and kisses her. "I'm just glad you and I have remained committed to each other, Helen. I love you so much."

"Oh Adam," Helen sighs back to him. "I love you too."

Suddenly, Adam has another flash in front of his eyes. He is standing in a room and there is a bottle of champagne on the table behind him. He bends down on one knee and asks someone to marry him. He can't make out the face of the woman, but as soon as she says yes, rose petals start falling from the sky as he picks her up and twirls her around.

"Adam?" Helen asks him again, causing him to snap back into reality. "What is it? What's wrong?"

"I don't know," he admits to her. "I've been having these…flashes…I guess. I can't explain them."

Helen gulps as she realizes that his memory is slowly coming back. "Just stay calm," she tells Adam. "You can get through this, and if you need me, I'm here."

Before he can respond, they hear the front door open. Soon, Dawn appears in the living room with red eyes. "Dawn?" Helen asks immediately as she sees her daughter. "What is it? What's happened?"

Dawn's lower lip quivers as she looks at her parents. "It's Shelley," she whispers. "She's…dead," she tells them as she starts to cry. "Oh God, she's gone forever."

"My girl," Helen rushes up and pulls her into a hug as Dawn starts weeping in her mother's arms. "You'll be fine. You'll be just fine."

Banff, Canada; The Pyramid Cabins

"She's not going to run us over, is she?" a scared Paige asks Jacob as they see the headlights of the car pointed towards them.

"I have no idea," Jacob's voice shakes as he is scared by what Cassie is going to do to him and Paige. "Whatever happens, Paige, just know that I love you so much. And, I'm so sorry that I slept with Cassie."

"It's not your fault," she replies to him quickly. "She drugged you, you had no idea what you were doing."

"Thanks for saying that," he manages to tell her.

"And Jacob, I love you too," she says as she gets tears in her eyes.

Suddenly, they hear the car start to move into the garage. They both start to scream in horror as the car moves quickly towards them.
