Robertson Enterprises

"Have you heard anything about Cassie Nova and her whereabouts?" Felicia asks Dominick, who is pouring himself a drink from the bar in his office at Robertson Enterprises. Dominick was just at Roboto as he confronted Kim about hiring Will to seduce Eva; she, of course, defended herself by saying that Eva didn't have to fall for Will's charms, which Dominick knows is true. Still, he hates what mess this entire situation has become. And, to top it all off, Cassie has stolen millions from both Roboto and Robertson Enterprises and is now seemingly missing.

"I'm afraid not," Dominick turns to face his ex-wife. "I am working with Robbie and Natasha to try to track her down but the longer it takes to hear something, the more I fear we will never see or hear from her again."

"At some point, the police should be contacted," Felicia moves closer to him. "They may have different resources to track down that witch."

"I don't disagree," Dominick nods back to her. "I want to wait to hear from the Calimo's though. It was my idea to work together, so we should proceed together."

"That's understandable," Felicia looks back at him. "How are you doing with the Eva situation? I still can't believe that woman slept with Will behind your back!"

Dominick sighs heavily back to her. "Things are the same," he admits to her. "She is desperately trying to convince me to give her another chance but I am so furious with her. I don't know where we stand anymore, I truly don't."

Eva moves closer to the door and stops when she sees Felicia and Dominick talking. She can't help but stand still as she watches what is happening in front of her as she knows that Felicia has been doing everything in her power to get Dominick back now that her affair was exposed.

"Well, for what it's worth," Felicia puts her hand on his chest. "I would never do anything to hurt you, Dominick. I would never do to you what Eva has done to you."

"I believe you," Dominick looks back at her. "You've always had my back, Felicia, and I can't thank you enough."

"You don't have to thank me," she tells him. "Just know that I'm always here for you."

Felicia lands up and gives Dominick a soft kiss on the lips. It only lasts a moment before they part ways. At the doorway, Eva feels her blood boil at the sight that is unfolding in front of her.

"Damn you Felicia," she whispers to herself. "You will not steal my husband!"

The Victors Mansion

Vinny quickly moves to his phone as he hears it ping! with a new text message. He looks at the screen and sees the text from Dr. Bryce Barty, whom he is blackmailing into helping him with his latest plan for Andrew and Abby's child. The text reads, "Everything is set, nothing will go wrong now."

"Perfect," Vinny smirks to himself as he moves to the bar and pours himself a glass of wine. "With Bryce helping me with Abby and Andrew, I can focus on Victoria."

He recalls how he saw Victoria at the hospital earlier and she revealed that the hosptial hired her back after she took a leave of absence. He hates that she is seemingly getting her life back together after she was the one who mostly contributed to his downfall with holding Daisy and Brett hostage. He wants to ensure that she pays for exposing him to Meggan and Brad.

"The only question is," he thinks to himself. "Is how can I make you pay, Victoria? How can I ensure you suffer for what you've done to me?"

He thinks back to his conversation with her at the hospital, where she admitted that the reason she was on her leave was because of her personality split; she had to get healthy again before she could practice medicine.

"That's it," he grins to himself. "I know exactly how I can get back at you, Victoria."

The Pampa Grill

"My parents have been great but they were still very surprised by the news," Dawn looks over to Cheresa as they sit in the back corner table of the restaurant together. They didn't expect to see one another again tonight, but neither one could sleep after all of the events surrounding Shelley's murder.

"Yea, my family was the same," Cheresa tells her back. "I still have a hard time believing that Shelley is really gone. I mean, I just saw her yesterday."

"I know," Dawn feels her eyes swell with water. "This all seems surreal, like it is a very bad dream."

"I would be so happy if I woke up tomorrow morning and Shelley was still here with us," Cheresa says back to her. "I just know that it will never be that way."

Before Dawn can say anything else, Cheresa's cell phone rings so she grabs it and answers it quickly. "Dad, what's going on?" she asks as she saw Greg's number on her screen. "What? Yea, I'll be there."

She hangs up the phone and looks over at Dawn. "I have to go to the hospital," she says to her. "Abby is in labour."

"Let's go," Dawn replies to her quickly. "I'll drive."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Just remember to breathe hun," Brooke encourages her daughter as she helps Abby into the hospital, with Greg following behind them. "You're going to be fine."

Abby looks over at her mother as she does her breathing techniques that she learned. She was at home when her water broke, which means by the end of the night, she should be a mother. Abby almost can't believe that this time is here as she only recently came around to the idea of keeping her child.

"I know I will be," Abby manages to reply to her. "I am ready for this, Mom! I'm so glad you're home though."

"I won't leave you baby," Brooke tells her, as Bryce comes around the corner and sees Abby.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Barty," he says to the Lawsons. "Abby's regular OBGYN is helping a midwife deliver another baby offsite, so I will be taking over."

Abby uneasily looks at Brooke. "A different doctor? No, I don't want you to deliver my baby, I want my doctor!"

"I'm afraid that's just not possible," Bryce says back to her. "Don't worry, I have delivered many children in my life. You're in good hands."

Abby shouts out in pain as another contraction hits her. "Fine," she says after the pain subsides. "It doesn't look like this baby is going to wait anyways!"

"Abby, I got here as soon as I could," Andrew rushes up to the Lawson's. Greg had called Andrew to let him know that Abby went into labour since he is the baby's father. "How are you?"

"I'll be fine," Abby replies to him coldly. "You can wait out here, Andrew. I don't want you with me when I give birth."

"Abby…" Andrew says in surprise.

"No, it's my decision," Abby cuts him off. "You don't even want this child, so why would you welcome it into this world?"

Bryce uneasily looks back at Andrew as he thinks about the plan that he and Vinny have come up with regarding the baby. He only hopes that he is able to pull it off.

"Okay, I'll get Abby settled and then I'll come back and give you all an update," Bryce tells the family as he pushes the wheelchair that Abby is in off.

Andrew runs his hands through his hair before he looks at Greg and Brooke. "She'll be fine," Brooke tells Andrew. "Try not to worry, okay?"

"Yea, I'll try," Andrew replies as he nervously starts to pace back and forth.

Banff Mineral Springs Hospital; Banff, Canada

"Where are they?" Natasha rushes down the small corridor of the local hospital in Banff. Leah and Cory are rushing behind her as the three of them took the next flight to Banff after Shane, Jeff and Max took the private plane; as soon as they landed, they had messages from Shane telling them that they found Paige and Jacob unconscious in a garage attached to the cabin that their children had rented. "Where are Paige and Jacob?"

Shane pulls Natasha into a hug while Leah and Jeff hug one another. "They are being examined right now," Jeff tells everyone. "We should hear something soon."

"I can't believe that Cassie tried to poison them," Cory says to everyone. "Is there nothing that woman won't do?"

"I'm so sorry," Max tells everyone. "I wish I knew what my mother was thinking."

"It's not your fault," Leah looks at Max. "You can't blame yourself for your mother's actions."

"We just have to pray that Paige and Jacob will make it," Shane says as a doctor comes towards the family.

"Doctor," Leah looks at him. "How are our children? Will they be okay?"

The doctor nods back to everyone. "They both took in a lot of carbon monoxide," he tells them. "I want to keep them overnight for observation but they should make full recoveries."

"Oh thank God," Natasha gasps as the parents hug again. "Can we see them? Can we see our children?"

"They are resting right now," the doctor advises them. "Once they wake up, yes you can, but for right now, we should let them rest."

"We can do that," Shane smiles. "We are just relieved that they are alive and well."

Before anyone can say anything else, a police officer emerges from behind the doctor. "Excuse me folks, I'm looking for Max Black?" the officer says to the crowd.

Max gulps heavily at the sight of the police officer. "I'm Max Black, what is this about?"

"Your mother is Cassie Nova, right?"

Max uneasily nods as Natasha, Leah, Shane and Jeff look on with intent. "Yes. Did you find her?"

"She was scheduled to leave on a private plane," the officer tells him. "With the snowfall outside, she was advised not to leave but she insisted."

"Okay? Where she did fly too?" Max asks him quickly. "Can we get a copy of the flight plan?"

"I'm really sorry to tell you this," the officer continues to tell him. "The private plane crashed shortly after takeoff; we've already been to the site and there are no survivors."

Max feels the blood drain from his face at the words that he just heard. "I'm not sure I understand what you're saying."

"Your mother, Cassie Nova," the officer looks back at him. "She's dead."
