Twin Peaks General Hospital

Victoria sits behind her desk in the hospital and moves her hand to her forehead as she has another one of her splitting headaches. She has no idea why she has been getting so many headaches lately, but she is trying not to think anything out of the ordinary is going on. She picks up her water bottle and takes a healthy sip of it, knowing that the majority of headaches are caused by dehydration.

"What is happening to me?" she asks herself in a whisper before she returns to massaging her temples.

She looks at her phone and doesn't notice the small device that is blended into her phone case that Vinny planted on her phone to get some kind of revenge on her for helping expose his plant to keep Daisy and Brett locked up for year. The device is flush with her phone, so she has no way to even notice that it's there as it blends into the phone case.

She doesn't see any new messages, not that she was expecting one. "I have a couple of hours before my next appointment," she tells herself as she slowly stands up. "Maybe I'll lock my door and try to have a nap; maybe with some luck and rest, my headache will go away."

As she moves slowly to the door, she almost doubles over in pain. She reaches the door and locks it but when she turns around to move to the sofa, she falls to the ground unconscious as the ringing from her phone continues at the very highest of pitches.

MW Investigations

Meggan slowly nods her head back to Andy and Nicholas as the two men sit in her office and listen to them explain why they want to find the Reese lookalike to her. Meggan is making a few notes about the man that they want to find but in her mind, already, this case is not going to be easy.

"So," Andy finishes his last thought. "That's why we are here. This man, the guy who was paid by Melissa to gaslight me, he looks like Reese, which is why I have to find him; I need to know why he looks like my husband."

Andy looks back at Meggan as she puts her pen down, hoping that she will agree to take the case. It wasn't until recently when Kim suggested to him that he go to Meggan that he had even thought about using a private investigator to track down the lookalike. Once Kim put the bug in his ear though, he couldn't stop thinking that she was exactly right; this is the way that he could track him down.

"I have to admit to you," Meggan looks back at Andy and then over at Nicholas. "I don't have a ton of information to go off of to find this guy. I don't have a name, or an address or even an active phone number."

Nicholas gulps heavily as he listens to Meggan as he recalls Cory telling him that the lookalike is staying at the One Day House; Nicholas learned which room he was in and went to talk to the man, whose name is Clayton Hughes. Nicholas learned that Clayton is broke and found Andy attractive; he is worried that Andy's growing obsession with the man that looks like Reese will drive a wedge between the two of them.

"I know it's a long shot," Andy replies to her quickly. "But, I didn't know where else to turn Meggan. Please tell me that you will take this case? Please tell me you will help me find this guy?"

Meggan sighs and uneasily smiles back to him. "I'll do my best Andy," she tells him. "Just try not to get your hopes okay? It could be almost impossible to find him."

"I understand," Andy smiles back to her, relieved that Meggan is taking the case. "I'm just glad that you're willing to try."

The Lawson Estate; Greg, Brooke, Brad, Abby & Cheresa's Home

"I am still surprised that Donovan and Lukas asked you and Andrew over to visit their son," Brooke tells Abby and Greg as she pours herself a cup of coffee as she stands in the living room of the estate she and her family own. Abby has just finished telling her parents that Donovan had invited her Andrew over to see baby Olly, which was a surprise to her. Still, when she was there with the child, she couldn't help but feel a very strong connection to the little boy.

"I think it was a nice gesture from Donovan," Greg chimes into his family. "The fact that they just adopted a child at the same time that Abby lost hers, they didn't have to reach out. Abby, did you feel like it helped you with the grief process at all?"

Abby looks back at him with red eyes as she has been crying off and on the entire day as she can't stop thinking about how her son, Sonny, was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. He never get took a breath, which devastates her to her very core. She did feel some relief from the pain when she was holding baby Olly, but as soon as she left, she was back to feeling devastated by the events, which is reasonable.

"I don't know if it helped with the grief," she softly tells her parents. "I still think about Sonny every moment of every day. But, when I was with Olly, I did feel a sense of peace and a connection to the little boy. He's so precious…. It makes me think of what Sonny would be like right now."

Brooke uneasily looks back over at her daughter as she feels awful for her and what she is going through. "Of course it would make you think of Sonny," she tells her quickly. "That is exactly why I was wondering if it was such a good idea for you to go and see baby Olly," Brooke explains to her. "I don't want anything to make this worse for you."

"Not at all," Abby shakes her head back to her. "The only time I've been able to put Sonny out of my head is when I was with Olly. In fact, I can't wait to see him again."

Greg looks back at his daughter. "Have Donovan or Lukas reached out to you or Andrew to see Olly again?"

"Not yet," Abby replies to him quickly. "But, I don't mind calling or texting them. I'd love to see Olly again, who knows, maybe I could be a big part of his life?"

Brooke sighs back to her daughter. "Let's wait and see what Donovan and Lukas say, okay sweetheart? Let's not put too many eggs in this basket just yet."

The Sugarbowl

"You've barely drank any of that latte," Albertinah notes to Andrew as they sit across from one another in the back booth of the coffee house together. She had to convince him to leave the apartment today as he is still grieving the loss of baby Sonny; she knows that the longer he stays cooped up, the worse he will feel. While it is difficult right now, Albertinah knows that Andrew has to keep pressing forward with his life. "It's going to be cold soon."

"Yea, sorry," Andrew picks up the cup and takes a small sip of it. "I guess my mind is anywhere but here right now."

"It might help to talk about it," Albertinah tells him quickly. "You know that I am here for you, Andrew. I'm not going anywhere."

"I know and I really appreciate that," he says back to her. "But, if I am honest, I'm not sure that there is anything you, or anyone else, can do for me right now. I can't shake this pain I have inside."

"Losing a child is the toughest thing anyone can go through," she says to Andrew. "You are allowed to feel this way. How did it go when you visited baby Olly at Donovan and Lukas'?"

"I know it made Abby feel good," he looks into her eyes. "I didn't feel the same connection to him that she did. I just felt sad about our child being dead."

"You're allowed to feel that way Andrew," Albertinah tells him. "You have to stop beating yourself up about how you're feeling."

"I didn't want him," Andrew whispers back to her as he gets tears in his eyes. "I never wanted Sonny, not the entire pregnancy but when I found out he was gone… I don't know, I can't help but blame myself for this entire thing. Maybe this was God's way of telling me that I got my wish."

"Don't say that," Albertinah grabs his hand. "You're not to blame for this, for any of this," she tells him. "Andrew, tell me that you're hearing me right now?"

"I hear you," he lets a tear fall out of his eye, which he wipes away immediately. "But I still blame myself. And, I'm not sure anything will ever change that."

***

Cory grabs his coffee from the barista and moves over to the coffee bar to put some cream and sugar in it. As he reaches for a lid, he thinks about how much work he has to get back to the One Day House to complete. He turns to leave but spots Jeff sitting alone at the window bar and immediately, Cory thinks about the other night when he and Leah were going for dinner and they ran into Meggan and Jeff. They invited Cory and Leah to join them and Cory sensed that Leah was keeping something from him and when he pressed her, she admitted that she was late and had a pregnancy scare. Of course, they left the table to discuss this but Cory has been left wondering how Jeff is feeling about this, considering he is the father of Leah's other children, Paige and Noah.

"Jeff, hey," Cory says as he moves up to the window seats. "I'm glad I ran into you."

"Oh yea?" Jeff replies to him quickly. "Why is that?"

"I think you know why I'm here," Cory chuckles back to him. "The last time I saw you, Leah admitted that she had a pregnancy scare. Considering your history with her, that had to impact you in some way?"

Jeff chuckles to him. "It was pretty surprising, I can admit that," he nods back to him. "I didn't think Leah, or you for that matter, wanted more children."

"We both know if Leah had turned up pregnant it would have been an unplanned pregnancy."

"So, you don't want a child together?"

"That's none of your business," Cory smirks back to him. "Just know that whatever we decide to do, it is our decision Jeff. I just hope you can respect that."

"As long as you know that I will never stop caring about Leah," Jeff replies to him immediately. "So, if you hurt her, you will answer to me Cory."

Twin Peaks Sun

"It was nice of you to bring me a coffee, it's been a crazy morning," Andy tells Kim as she moves into his office at the newspaper. He came straight to work right after his meeting with Meggan and Nicholas at MW Investigations as he had to work on a story for the next morning's edition. His sister, however, needed to talk to him so she stopped by.

"It must be in the air cause I, too, have had a busy day," she tells him as she takes a sip of her coffee. "How did it go with Meggan? Will she be able to locate this fellow who looks like Reese?"

"That remains to be seen," Andy admits to her. "She agreed to take the case but she doesn't know if she will be able to find him because she has so little information to go off of."

"Hmm," Kim sighs back to him. "If anyone can locate him, it is Meggan. I hope for your sake, she does, if that's still want you want."

"Of course it is," Andy nods back to her. "Anyways, what is going on with you? Your message made it seem important."

Kim sighs again before she uneasily chuckles. "Remember how I told you that Robbie and I have started to, uh, see each other?" she asks him as Andy nods back to her. "Well, Natasha found out and based on her reaction, world war three might be starting."

"Oh damn," Andy shakes his head back to his sister. "I knew that she wouldn't be happy but I hope she is able to get over it. I mean, you and Robbie are adults."

"I don't know if she will get over it anytime soon," Kim admits to her. "And, that means I have to decide if being with Robbie is really worth the headache."

"I thought you were enjoying your time with him?"

"I am very much," Kim admits to him. "But the last thing I want is for there to be more drama between myself and Bob's children. I don't know if I can take any more of that."

Roboto

Robbie slowly opens the door to the main office and Roboto and moves inside as he sees Natasha sitting behind the desk in the office. He takes a deep breath as he knows that she is still livid with him for having an affair with Kim, but he can't help that he is attracted to Kim. On top of that, they are two consenting adults and it shouldn't matter if they are sleeping together or not. Robbie knows that Natasha has heard share of failed romances.

"You're finally here," Natasha barely looks up from her paper work to acknowledge her brother. "Let me guess? Long night with our step mother?"

"Don't start that today Nat," Robbie advises her as he pours himself a cup of coffee. "I'm not in the mood to deal with your snide remarks today."

"Oh, is there trouble in paradise already between you two? I'm so sorry to hear that."

"You couldn't be further from the truth," Robbie turns to face her as he takes a sip of the coffee. "In fact, Kim and I are closer than ever."

"Okay, spare me the details," Natasha rolls her eyes at him. "I don't want to know what you and Kim are up too."

"What will it take for you to be supportive me of and Kim?" Robbie asks her as he moves up to the desk. "Because Nat, this could be something really serious."

"Are you kidding me right now?" Natasha asks him as she stands up and glares at him. "You can't honestly tell me that you're falling for that woman!"

"I have," Robbie nods to her. "I was almost thinking that I would…"

"So help me God if you tell me you're thinking of proposing Robbie…." Natasha cuts him off and looks at her brother. The look on his face tells him everything that she needs to know. "Robert Jordan Calimo Junior!" she squeals at him. "What has gotten into you? You can't marry that woman, do you hear me? You can't do this!?"

"What if I told you I love her Nat?" Robbie asks her back. "Doesn't my happiness mean anything to you?"

"Of course it does," Natasha tells him. "But I will tell you this much: You will not be happy with Kim, no way, no how. You saw firsthand everything she did to Dad. How can you be so blind Robbie?"

"People change," Robbie tries to reason with her.

"No, not Kim," Natasha says back to him. "I'm telling you Robbie, if you marry that woman, you are setting this family up for years of more pain and suffering and I won't stand by and watch it happen. I refuse to let that happen."

The Banff Springs Fairmont Hotel; Banff, Canada

Max slowly steps off the elevator of the older hotel that is referred to as the Castle in the Woods in Banff, Canada. He can't believe that he is back to Banff so soon after the recent trip where he helped save Jacob and Paige's life, but after he read the letter from Cassie that was left to him in the will, he had to come back here. The letter instructed him that there was one final surprise for him waiting for him at the hotel.

Of course, the hotel is one of the most expensive and luxurious hotels in all of Canada, so he is glad that he was left millions from Cassie in her will because on his own, he wouldn't be able to afford this. He takes another turn into another hallway and proceeds to try to find his room number, the large Rocky mountains are just to the left outside the windows of the hotel as he walks through the hallways.

He finally finds his room and puts his bag down while he grabs his key card. "Okay Mom," he whispers to himself. "Let's see what kind of surprise you left for me here."

He opens the door and scurries inside. He moves into the main part of the room and sees a large king size bed, a desk, an arm chair and a fire place. There is already raging on and there is a bottle of champagne chilling on the desk. He arches his eyebrow wondering what is going on.

"You made it," a voice calls out from behind him.

Max slowly turns around and feels the blood drain from his face. "Mom?" he asks in disbelief as he sees Cassie standing in the room.

"Surprise Max," she purses her lips together. "I'm so glad you made it."
