Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I am grateful that you were willing to come here today," Dominick tells Felicia as she sits on a bed in a hospital room and he stands before her. He recalls how he was at the Pampa Grill with Abby earlier in the morning when Felicia saw them together and seemingly lost control on Abby. It is not the first time that he has seen Felicia lose control recently; he can't help but think back to Eva's theory that Felicia was off her medication. At the time, he continued to tell his wife that she is wrong because he saw Felicia take some of her pills, but he has to wonder what else could be going on with her because she continues to lose control. He is now wondering if Eva was right all along. "We have to figure out what is going on with you, Felicia."

"I know," she slowly nods back to him. "I have been worried myself but didn't know what to do or say."

"Earlier after Madeline finished her exam, you said you have been seeing things? What sort of things?"

Felicia gulps back to him as she thinks about all of her visions. "It started a few months ago," she reveals to him. "I thought I saw Brett Victors in my bedroom. And, since Eva's passing, I've seen her. I know it's not possible, but something is going on with me."

"I see," a concerned Dominick looks back at her. "And Felicia, you promise me that you have been taking your medication?"

Felicia nods back to him. "I have been taking my pills. I swear to God."

"Okay," Dominick comes up to her and pulls her into a hug. "We will figure this out Felicia. I know we will."

Before Felicia can respond, the door to the hospital room opens and Madeline emerges.

"Hi Dominick, Felicia," Madeline says as she closes the door behind her, holding Felicia file in her other hand.

"Doctor," Felicia looks back at her. "Please tell me you've figured out what is wrong with me? Tell me what's going on?"

Twin Peaks Police Station

"I have to admit kiddo," Adam looks back at his son with a concerned look on his face as they sit in a visitors room at the police station. Adam was floored to get a phone call that Max was arrested for harbouring a fugitive because he has known that Cassie is alive and well; Adam is surprised that Max has known for months and hasn't said anything. Now, he could be in serious trouble for helping his mother for this long. "I can't believe that Cassie is alive and you've known all this time."

Max sighs back to him as he thinks about how Jacob broke into his apartment, found his burner phone and revealed to Paige and Simona that he has been in touch with Cassie. Simona, knowing that there is still a warrant out for Cassie's arrest, arrested Max for harbouring a fugitive. He hates that Jacob is the cause of all of this happening.

"What was I supposed to do, Dad?" Max asks him back quickly. "I got this cryptic note as a part of Mom's will asking me to go to Banff again. When I got there, Mom was in my hotel room. She told me she had to hide out for awhile because of what she did to Paige and Jacob."

"And, you didn't think you should tell someone? Everyone has gone on believing that Cassie was dead, Max."

"I know," Max tells him. "But, she's my Mom. She's always had my back; I just thought I was doing the right thing."

Adam shakes his head back to his son. "I hate that she put you in this situation. Your mother never thinks about anyone but herself."

"She was scared," Max defends her. "She had a snap from reality, Dad. I just hate that Jacob is the one who set this all into motion. Damn him!"

"Look," Adam looks back at him. "Jacob was trying to get justice for Cassie trying to kill him and Paige, you have to understand that. Besides, you have bigger issues than worrying about Jacob. Has Simona given you any options at all?"

"She said she would drop the charges but I have to do something first."

"What is it? You should be doing anything you can to get the charges dropped, Max."

"I know, I know," Max sighs back to him. "She said I have to produce Mom, but that's the thing. We've been in touch but I have no idea where she is."

"So your mother might be the reason you go to jail?" Adam asks him in shock. "I hate this Max, I really do."

"I do too but I don't know what else to do?" Max admits to his father. "I can't magically make Mom appear. And, I doubt she will even know that I've been arrested. So, it looks like I will be going to jail."

"I will get a lawyer and see what we can do," Adam tells him. "I don't want you to pay for your mother's actions, Max. I won't let that happen."

The Tower's, The Penthouse; Cory & Leah's Home

Leah tosses and turns in the large king size bed that is in the master bedroom of the penthouse that she lives in with Cory. She has some sweat on her forehead and she keeps mumbling the words, "No, please, don't…"

Suddenly, she jolts up into the bed and looks around. She catches her breath and slowly leans back up against the headboard of the bed, reeling from the dream she as having which she can remember clearly.

"I was having a nightmare," she gasps to herself. "I am okay. But…my God…"

"Hey, how are you?" Cory asks as he moves into the bedroom. "I thought I heard you gasp outloud?"

"I'm fine," Leah waves her hand in the air. "I…I guess I was having a nightmare."

"Was it the baby crying again?"

Leah quickly shakes her head back to him. "No, it was worse."

Cory sits on the edge of the bed and looks back at her. "What happened, Leah? What did you dream about?"

"I…I remember Cory," she looks back at him. "I remember everything."

The Cemetery

Andy kneels down at the tombstone in front of him. He removes his sunglasses and reads the wording in front of him, "Reese Wilkins, beloved son & husband".

"Reese," he whispers to his deceased husband. "My God, how has it been so long since you left me? I still can't believe that I am living my life without you."

He sighs to himself as he thinks about how he and Madeline recently found out that Clayton is her and Reese's triplet brother; this explains why Clayton is an exact lookalike of Reese. Andy has tried to befriend Clayton, but he has pushed back and claimed that Andy and Madeline are trying to make him be Reese, which is not what Andy is trying to do at all. To make matters worse, Nicholas seems to be supporting Clayton in all of this which makes Andy feel like his boyfriend is not on his side.

"Everything is such a mess right now my love," he continues to talk to Reese. "You have a brother, his name is Clayton. I am trying to get to know him but he is not making easy. He thinks that I am trying to replace you with him."

Andy feels his eyes swell with water. "And, you and I both know that he could never be you," Andy whispers. "Because you were one of a kind. You were the most amazing person in the world. No one can ever replace you, Reese."

Andy reaches out and touches Reese's name on the marble rock. "Please Reese," Andy lets a tear fall down his cheek. "Give me some guidance? Tell me what I should do with all of this."

One Day House

Nicholas types into his laptop in his office as he is working on some files for the One Day House. As he types, however, he can't help but think about everything that is going on in his life right now, namely, that Andy is pushing him away because he has been letting Clayton confide in him. Nicholas just wishes that Andy and Madeline would realize that everyone involved in this mess is still trying to wrap their head around the fact that Clayton turned out to be the long lost Wilkins triplet. They are all needing time to heal and get over this stunning twist before they can try to move on.

"I just need to make you understand," he whispers to himself. "That I am just trying to be there for Clayton since he is the one alone in all of this. Andy, you will come around, I have to make you realize that."

Before he can say anything else, he looks up when he hears a knock on the office door. He sees Clayton standing there with two coffees from the Sugarbowl.

"Clayton, hi," Nicholas stands up from his chair. "What brings you by?"

"I thought you could use a coffee," Clayton moves closer to his desk and sets the drink down. "And, since I work at the coffeehouse, it seemed fitting that I could bring it to you."

Nicholas smiles back to him. "That's sweet of you, thanks."

"No problem," Clayton looks back at him. "I guess it was a way for me to thank you too. You know, for listening to me the other day. I don't have many friends here, so I appreciate you taking the time to hear me out about this situation with Madeline and Andy."

Nicholas moves closer to Clayton. "You don't have to thank me, Clayton. I am just trying to help everyone find a common ground, you know? And, I have told that to Andy and Madeline."

"You have?" Clayton asks him in surprise. "You defended me to them?"

"I wouldn't say I defended you," Nicholas chuckles back to him. "I am just trying to help them see it from your side, that's all."

"Thanks Nicholas," Clayton moves up to him. "You are a really good friend."

"Like I said, I'm just trying to help…." Nicholas says but before he can finish his sentence, Clayton moves up and kisses him on the lips.

The kiss lasts for a moment before Nicholas pulls back and looks into Clayton's eyes.

"Thanks for having my back," Clayton smiles as he looks back at the man he just kissed. "I can't thank you enough."

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

"Two more," Jasper says as Lukas slowly lifts the weights over his head and lets out a large grunt in the process. "Yea, that's awesome. One more and your chest workout will be done."

Lukas grunts loudly one last time before he raises the weights up. Jasper grabs the bar and places it back in its holding spot.

"That was awesome," Jasper moves around to him and passes Lukas his water bottle. "Your pecs will likely burn the rest of the day, but you'll have gains."

Lukas chuckles. "Thanks for all your help," he looks back at his nanny. "I went up an entire weight class when you started spotting me."

"Hey, I'm glad I can help," Jasper grins back to him. "Especially since it can be boring around here while Olly is sleeping. Watching a good looking guy work out is a much better use of my time."

Lukas looks back at him with a sly grin. "Well, thanks for that compliment, Jasper. You're kind."

"Ah, come on," Jasper looks at him. "You had to have known that I thought you were attractive, especially with all these muscles you like flexing around me."

Lukas chuckles back to him. "I don't know what to say," he admits to him. "I am a married man, Jasper."

"I know," he laughs back to him. "Doesn't mean that I can't admire you."

Lukas blushes back to him. "I do appreciate that," he nods back to him. "For the record, I'm not dead either. You're also pretty good looking."

Jasper winks back to him. "Good, then at least we know we have a mutual attraction. Don't worry, I won't tell Donovan."

Lukas gulps back to him. "Thanks. I'd appreciate that."

"Anytime," Jasper says. "I should hit the shower before Olly wakes up. I'll spot you again in a couple days?"

"Sounds good man, thanks again."

"Don't mention it," Jasper says before he quickly leaves the room.

Lukas watches his go and then grabs more water, trying to cool off in more ways than one.

The Calimo Mansion

Kim paces back and forth in the bedroom that she shares with Robbie before she stops and looks at her stop watch on her IPhone. She is waiting for the clock to say 6 minutes exactly; then she will know what is going on with her.

She knows that the last few days she has felt a little different; the feeling of butterflies in her stomach and feeling a little light headed. That's when she realized that she was a few days late with her period.

"As soon as this buzzer goes off," she whispers to herself as she puts her hand on her stomach. "I will know if I am pregnant."

She pauses for a moment and thinks back to her last pregnancy: she got pregnant with Blake but didn't know if Bob or Tyler was the father. She assumed it was Bob, however he revealed that he secretly had a vasectomy, which meant that Tyler was the father of her son. After she gave birth, she and Bob reunited but she eventually slept with Tyler again. When Bob discovered this, they had a huge fight and that is when Kim drove off during the ice storm; her car was hit by a semi-truck and the accident left Blake brain dead. She still can't believe that her baby boy is gone. The thought of having another child never entered her mind but the loss of Blake is suddenly coming back to her.

She snaps out of it when she hears her voice buzz meaning that her pregnancy test results are waiting for her. She takes a deep breath before she moves back into the washroom. She looks at the small pregnancy test on the counter and finally gets the courage to move up to it. She picks it up and looks at it.

"I'm pregnant," she whispers to herself, wondering how she truly feels about having another child. "I'm going to have Robbie's baby."

The Pampa Grill

"I am sure you have a million things to do at the office today, so I appreciate you having time to meet me for breakfast," Tyler tells Natasha as they sit at a table near the front door. Tyler takes a bite of his French toast before he looks back at his lover; he hopes that she isn't holding any hard feelings over the fact that Robertson Enterprises was able to secure Cheresa's contract over Roboto since they were both competing for her.

"You have no idea," Natasha replies to him quickly. "We are basically starting from scratch on our new idea for the company."

Tyler uneasily nods back to her. "I know that you and your team had put a lot of energy into getting Cheresa. I am not sorry that she choose to come to Robertson Enterprises but I am sorry that you are left scrambling now."

"I was miffed at first," Natasha admits to him. "But, I know that it is not personal between you and I; it is just business. I just wish Robbie would remember that."

"Robbie? He's not taking it well?"

Behind Natasha, Robbie appears and can hear his sister and Tyler talking. He came into the restaurant to grab some breakfast before he was going to head into the office; now he can listen in to see what Tyler is planning to do with Cheresa.

"I'm afraid not," Natasha sighs back to him. "He was livid that Cheresa took the contract with Robertson over us. I have never seen him so upset before."

Tyler shrugs back to her. "I'm not sure what he could? I mean, Cheresa made up her mind and we are moving full steam ahead with our new campaign with her."

Robbie rolls his eyes listening to how smug he thinks Tyler sounds. He wishes that he could ruin this campaign, now more than ever before.

"I am not sure either," Natasha admits to him. "I just know that for years my father and your father battled both in the boardroom and outside of it; I just hope this isn't the start of a new wave of the feud."

"I won't let it go that far," Tyler tries to reassure her. "Robbie will not do anything to hurt this campaign, I'll make sure of it."

Robbie smirks to himself before he rushes away. He leaves the restaurant and stops for a moment as the wheels in his head start turning.

"That's where you're wrong Tyler," Robbie whispers to himself. "I will ruin your campaign with Cheresa and I just realized I know exactly how to do that."

***

At another table in the restaurant, Trenyce sits across from Daisy and Cheresa. Andrew is also present but he just excused himself to go to the washroom.

"I can't believe you guys did this," Trenyce smiles back to her daughter and her Aunt. "A small baby shower? I had no idea that is what you had planned when you asked me to join you here this morning."

"Believe it," Daisy chuckles back to her. "We know that you have to avoid stress so we didn't want to make it a huge deal, or let you know about it."

"And, just so you know, we wanted to invite Donovan, Lukas and Andy but we thought small would be better. They have all sent gifts, though," Cheresa tells her mother.

"I am feeling overwhelmed by all this love," Trenyce admits to them as she gets water in her eyes. "Sorry, it is the hormones. Cheresa, I know that this was a difficult pregnancy to hear about considering Brad is the father, so you being here really means a lot to."

"Whatever happened is in the past," Cheresa tells her mother. "The fact is, a part of Brad is always going to live on in that baby, and that is the best feeling in the world. After all the loss we have had this past year, a new life is a blessing."

"I couldn't agree more," Daisy nods back to her. "But you," she turns her attention to Trenyce. "You have to make sure you have no stress, okay? We can't have anything happening to that baby."

"Don't worry," Trenyce smiles back to her family. "I have no intention of letting anything happen to my child."

***

Andrew, meanwhile, pops out of the washroom and starts to move back to the table. He notices, however, Chris move into the restaurant. He can tell that Chris can see Trenyce, Daisy and Cheresa all sitting together; without thinking, Chris turns to leave.

Andrew arches his eyebrow and rushes to the front door to stop him from leaving. He knows that, eventually, Chris will have to deal with the fact that Trenyce is pregnant with Brad's baby. He just hopes that Chris can come around because he knows that Trenyce would like nothing more than to have him in her corner.

"Chris, hey wait up," Andrew says as he opens the door to the restaurant and rushes up to Chris, who is arriving at his car. "You don't have to leave you know? We just threw Trenyce a small baby shower, you can come join us?"

Chris smirks back to him as he thinks about how he went to Trenyce's the other day and he saw Trenyce and Andrew sharing a close moment. He can't get the image out of his head of a shirtless Andrew hugging Trenyce; he hasn't been able to think that maybe something was going on between them.

"I think I'm good, Andrew, but thanks."

"Why are you putting up all these walls?" Andrew asks him as he moves closer to him. "Trenyce loves you, she wants you with her. She know she made a mistake, but my God, can't we just move on?"

"Is that really want you want?"

"What? For us to move on? Of course it is, why would you suggest otherwise?"

"Because, the other day, it looked like something was going on between you and Trenyce," Chris reveals to him. "Is there something I should know about?"

"Of course not," Andrew shakes his head back to him. "I'm helping her around the house, that's all. For crying out loud, I'm still grieving Albertinah! And my son! And Trenyce, she's like a mother to me."

"But she's not your mother," Chris reminds him. "And from where I stood, it looked like more than a friendly embrace. I just don't want to get sucked back in only to get hurt."

"Losing Albertinah has taught me one thing," Andrew looks back at him with intent. "And that is life is short; don't wait around too long Chris, because by the time you come around to wanting Trenyce back, it might be too late."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"First, I am glad that you brought Felicia in today," Madeline looks back at Felicia and Dominick as they are in the hospital room together. "I did a full review of her blood work and her medication and something is definitely not right."

Felicia looks back at Dominick and then at Madeline with concern on her face. "What's not right? I have been taking my medication like I should be. What could be wrong?"

"The medication you have been taking is not the medication that you have been prescribed," Madeline reveals to them as Felicia gasps. "You have been taking a hallucination drug; this explains all of the visions you have been having."

"How the hell did this happen? Why would she be given the wrong medication?" Dominick asks the doctor quickly.

"That I don't know," Madeline tells him. "But, I have given her the proper medication here and within a day Felicia should be feeling back to normal."

"I don't understand any of this," Felicia admits to them. "Who would do this to me? Who would give me these drugs? And why?"

"That's what I am intend to find out, Felicia," Dominick looks back at his ex-wife. "We will find out who did this to you and why, mark my words."
