The Pink Flamingo at the River
Rock Casino
"I had a very interesting phone call with our father
this morning," Meggan reveals to Lukas, Daisy and Leah as they all sit at
a table together at the restaurant. The siblings have gathered to discuss Frederick's
return and what they should do next. "Ugh, really?" Leah asks
her quickly as she picks up her glass of white wine. "I saw him yesterday
and he refused to give me any more details on my missing child."
"Do you have to make everything about you?" Lukas hisses back at her
quickly. "Can we, at least, hear what Meggan and Dad spoke about?"
Meggan takes a sip of her sparkling water before she looks back at her siblings.
"He wants to have a family dinner," she reveals to them, as Victoria
passes the table on the way back from the washroom. She continues to move back
to her own table with Bryce. "He wants all of us there; he has to make an
announcement." "An announcement? What kind of announcement?"
Daisy asks everyone. "Isn't it enough that he is back? Now he's going to
lay more bombshells on us?" "He didn't say, exactly,"
Meggan replies. "But I think we should all go to this party. Whether we like
it or not, Dad is back in our lives and this dinner party might be a good way
to see what he has planned?" "I agree with Meg," Lukas
chimes in to the table. "I think we should go and see what Dad has to say.
Beyond that, we can all make the decision to either stay in his life or run away."
"Fine, I'll be there," Leah rolls her eyes back to Lukas. "But
if he doesn't start telling me about my child, I am going to lose it! I don't
know how much more I can take of this secrecy." "Maybe that
is what his announcement is," Daisy shrugs her shoulders back to Leah. "Maybe
he's going to tell you where your child is?" "I hope so,"
Leah sighs back to her. "I really hope so." Meanwhile, Victoria
sits back down across from Bryce and looks at her husband with a grin on her face.
"What's so funny?" he asks her quickly. "I just heard
Meggan tell Lukas, Leah and Daisy that Frederick is planning a dinner party,"
she reveals to him before she takes a sip of her spicy pineapple margarita. "That
would be an interesting dinner party to be at." Bryce arches his
eyebrow back to her. "Why? We don't have any business with Frederick or his
children." "No," Victoria looks back at him. "But
it might be a good way to confront Frederick about you working for him and what
he could want with you moving forward. I mean, he wouldn't try anything with so
many people around, you know?" Bryce gulps heavily knowing that
he does want to talk to Frederick but he has to do it alone; if he and Victoria
crash this dinner party, there is a good chance Frederick could reveal Bryce's
secrets and he can't let that happen. "I don't think it's a good
idea Vic," he admits to her. "I think we have to let Frederick have
time with his kids and we can figure out what to do about him later. Promise me
that you won't go there the night of the dinner party?" "Fine,"
Victoria uneasily nods back to him. "I still think it's a good idea but I
will respect your wishes and do it your way." Dominick's Townhouse
"I hope this is a good time for a visit," Paige says as she moves into
the living room of the townhouse that Dominick lives in with Abby. She was wondering
if she should come and see her grandfather but the more she thought about it,
she more she realized that what she has to say couldn't wait. "I
always have time for you, my beauty," Dominick smiles back to her as they
sit next to one another on the sofa. "I got the feeling that this was more
of a purposeful visit then just a catch up, however." Paige uneasily
smiles back to him. "I do love you, Grandpa, and I hope you know that I don't
want you to get hurt." Dominick arches his eyebrow back to her.
"I am fine, no one is hurting me, Paige. Where is this coming from?"
"It's about Abby," Paige reveals to him. "I am concerned that
she will hurt you, Grandpa." Dominick nervously chuckles back to
her. "You don't have to worry yourself about that. Abby and I, we are in
a good place, Paige. We are still in the honeymoon phase." "If
that's true then why have I seen her out with Ethan Alexander a few times?"
"Ethan Alexander?" Dominick asks in confusion. "I believe
that's her lawyer?" "He's also a younger, attractive man,"
Paige tells him. "Look, I am not saying that anything is going on between
them because I have no proof, I just don't want you to be blindsided by Abby.
I don't trust her, not one little bit." "Thank you for telling
me this," Dominick forces a smile on his face. "But believe me when
I tell you that Abby and I are very happy together, Paige. I don't think we have
any cause for concern where Ethan and Abby are concerned." The
Sugarbowl
"I can't thank you enough for your help yesterday when
I spilled the paint in the studio," Jacob chuckles over to Isabelle as they
sit in the back booth across from one another. He still can't believe that he
spilled paint all over his shirt and on the floor of the studio; Isabelle appeared,
and after checking out Jacob's chest, helped him clean up the mess. "Well
you bought me a muffin and this latte, so I think we are even," Isabelle
chuckles back to him. "But I hope I never have to see that shade of blue
again." Jacob laughs back with her. "You have no idea how much
soap I needed for the paint that got my skin. My chest still feels raw from all
the scrubbing." Isabelle winks back to him. "Too bad I wasn't
there to assist," she purses her lips together. Jacob blushes back
to the beautiful woman sitting across from him. He thought the previous day that
she was flirting with him but now he knows that she is. He is flattered but, part
of him, can't help but wonder how Cassie would feel about this. "You're
far too kind," he winks back to her. "Sorry if that was too
forward, you are a good looking guy though, Jacob. I'm new in town and just trying
to get to know people." "I appreciate that," he nods back
to her. "And you're, well, you're stunning. It's just my life is
uh,
complicated
right now." "Say no more," she smiles back to him. "The
last thing I want to do is add complications." At the doorway, Max
stands feeling his blood boiling. He already recalls how saw Isabelle and Jacob
together the previous day; now, he is witnessing them together again.
"So it's official," he whispers to himself. "Jacob and I are, once
again, interested in the same girl. Great," he rolls his to himself.
The River Rock Casino
"Well, all my bags are here, I'm
just waiting for my limo to take me to the airport," Melissa tells Nicholas
as they stand by the large rotating doors of the casino. She has gathered her
belongings as she is headed back to Boston; her brief trip is coming to a close.
"You never did give me a straight answer," Nicholas looks back
at his mother. "Will you agree to stay out of my relationship with Andy?"
Melissa uneasily smiles back to him. "Darling, I don't want to fight
with you about this. I will tell you this, I will never believe that Andy Spinnes
is good enough for you. You deserve the best, and that lush is far from the best."
Nicholas chuckles back to her. "Well, I am glad that you have my back.
But Andy and I are good together, Mom. Just try to see that, okay?"
"And you remember this," Melissa purses her lips together. "Not
everything is as it seems, okay?" Nicholas uneasily looks back at
her wondering what she means by that. However, before he can ask her, Melissa's
car appears. "There's my ride," Melissa looks back at Nicholas.
"I'll text you when I land." "Alright, safe travels Mom,"
Nicholas tells her, hoping that she isn't up to anything more that could ruin
his relationship with Andy. ***
Meanwhile at a table at
the Pink Flamingo, Dale and Helen sit across from one another with cocktails on
the table. Helen, earlier, was surprised to see her lover from Cancun in Twin
Peaks. He explained that he was in town for work and they agreed to have drinks
together. Helen is thrilled that Dale is back because she really enjoyed her time
with the good-looking man in Mexico. "I still can't believe that
you're in Twin Peaks," Helen gushes over to him. "When I left Cancun,
I never thought I would see you again." Dale chuckles back to her.
"This is a good surprise, I hope?" "Very good," Helen
nods back to him. "In case you didn't notice, I really enjoyed our time together
in Cancun." "For the record, I did notice and I equally had
a good time with you, Helen. In fact, I haven't been able to stop thinking about
you." Helen feels her cheeks flush red by the compliment that Dale
just gave her. She finds herself locking eyes with him before she raises the glass.
"Then a toast to reconnecting," she suggests to him. "I
definitely want to reconnect," he raises his glass and toasts Helen. "To
reconnecting." Twin Peaks General Hospital
"How'd
the appointment go?" Shane asks Robin as they slowly walk down the hallway
of the hospital. Shane knows that Robin just had a checkup within regards to her
pregnancy, he just hopes that his unborn child is healthy. "It was
routine," Robin replies to him. "Everything is perfectly fine."
"That's a relief," Shane says back to her. "After all the
scares we had with Dominique, I'm hoping this pregnancy is smoother sailing."
Robin chuckles back to him. "Well, Adam and I are over, so I think it
will be less stressful." "Adam really did end things?"
Shane asks her as they lock eyes. "I know how much you care for him."
"All I can do is accept what he says and move on." "You
know," Shane looks back into her eyes. "This could be our chance to
be together, Robin. We could have a real family; you, me, Dominique and our new
baby." "I know that's what you want," Robin tells him.
"I guess I just need time to figure this all out. I'm going to take off,
it's been a long morning." "Okay," Shane nods back to
her. "But let's get together soon, okay? We should make a plan for our future,
regardless of what it looks like." "Sounds good," Robin
turns and leaves. As she moves towards the elevators, she can't help but notice
Leah and Paige sitting together a waiting room. She immediately arches her eyebrow,
wondering if her sister or niece are sill. "Hey guys, what's going
on?" Robin asks as she moves into the waiting room. "Robin,
hi," Leah says standing up and hugging her sister. "I'm just here to
give some DNA for a test with Frederick." "He agreed to a DNA
test then? That's good?" Robin looks back at his sister. "I've been
so focused on this baby, I'm sorry that I haven't been around for you."
"Don't worry about it," Leah tells her sister. "How is the
baby?" "They are fine, I just had an appointment and everything
is perfect." "That's good to hear," Paige tells her Aunt.
"We can't wait to meet him or her." "Me either,"
Robin says back to her. "Where's Cory? I would have thought he would have
been with you?" Leah sighs back to her. "We have a lot of catching
up to do," she chuckles. "We are over. Cory and I split up."
"What?" Robin gasps back to her. "Okay, we have to go catch
up. Paige, come with us? Let's have a girls lunch?" "I'd love
that," Leah replies to her sister as Paige stands up and grabs Leah's hand.
"I'm game too," Paige grins as the three women start moving towards
the elevators. Dominick's Townhouse
"I did go by
Robertson Enterprises to see Tyler about a job, but he was in meetings,"
Abby tells Dominick as she pours herself a glass of wine from the bar in their
living room. "I guess I'll have to make an appointment to see him."
"He might be busy with the lawsuit that he has filed against Roboto,"
Dominick tells his wife. "I'm glad we have a moment together, though. I think
we need to talk." Abby moves to the sofa and kisses him on the lips
before she sits next to him. "Sure, what's going on sweetheart?"
"Your relationship with Ethan Alexander, what is that all about?"
Abby looks back at him in surprise and she immediately realizes that Paige
must have spoke to him. "Where is this coming from? Ethan is my lawyer, you
know that." "Your lawyer who is much younger and, dare I say,
more attractive than I am." "Dominick," Abby shakes his
head back to him. "Don't do this. You know that I love you. You're my husband!"
Dominick chuckles back to her. "I'm glad you said that. Just don't forget
that, okay?" "I never could," she smiles, wondering how
she is going to get back at Paige for going to Dominick about her relationship
with Ethan. Roboto
Robbie moves towards his SUV in the
parking lot of Roboto. He opens the door and hopes inside his vehicle as his mind
races, thinking about how he heard Kim tell Natasha that she blames him for miscarriage
she went through last year. He has no idea if Kim will ever be able to get over
their loss; the more time that goes by without her being able to forgive him makes
him think that his marriage is truly over. "She will never forgive
me," he whispers to himself. "My marriage, it's really over. Kim and
I are over." He runs his hand over his face before he looks to the
empty seat next to him. He opens the briefcase that rests on seat and opens it.
He pulls out a large envelope and grabs the divorce papers that are inside.
"Well, if this is what you want, then I might as well sign these damn
things," he says. "You'll get your damn divorce." Next
