The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"I must admit that I am surprised to hear that Clayton is back in town and that he has admitted that he is still in love with you," Robin tells Nicholas before she picks up her herbal tea and takes a sip of it. Her brother just finished telling her that Clayton has returned to town and professed that he still loves Nicholas, despite him being engaged to Andy. "How did he react when you told him that you are in love with Andy and want to marry him?"

Nicholas smiles back to his sister. "He seemingly accepted it," he reveals to her. "I mean, what can he say or do? He came back because he found out about the engagement and thought that professing his love to me would change my mind about marrying Andy but that couldn't be further from the truth."

"I'm glad that you were firm with him," Robin tells him. "Sometimes hearing things that hurt you are the best thing for you; it might help him move on, you know?"

Nicholas sighs back to her. "I hope so," he says. "But honestly, I just want him to respect the fact that Andy and I are together and that nothing will stop us from being together. Anyways, what's going on with you? How is that baby growing?"

"It's getting bigger each day," Robin smiles back to him. "And Dominique is so excited to be a big sister."

Nicholas chuckles back to her. "Those two kids will be so cute when they are together," he tells her. "How is Shane taking the fact that you don't want to be with him?"

"It's like I said earlier, sometimes hearing the hard truth is the best thing for someone," Robin says. "He hasn't said anything at all and seems to be trying to move on."

"That's a good sign," Nicholas replies to her. "Do you have any other romantic interests right now?"

Robin chuckles back to him. "I mean, it's crazy to say it, but there are a couple of guys interested," she reveals to him. "It just seems weird because I am so close to giving birth. I'm not in any position to be in a relationship right now, not when I am carrying another man's baby."

"That very well may be," Nicholas tells her. "But, you won't be pregnant forever. Just don't close any door just yet."

"I'll keep that in mind."

"Anyways, I have to get going to the One Day House, this was nice though. We'll catch again soon?"

"I can't wait, love you Nick," Robin waves as he leaves the table.

As soon as he's gone, Antonio moves up to Robin's table. He had been watching her and Nicholas enjoy their breakfast together but he had hoped that he would get some alone time with the woman that has caught his eye.

"Well, good morning beautiful," he smiles as he sits across from her. "You're glowing this morning."

Robin blushes back to him. "Thank you, Antonio," she replies to him. "And good morning to you too."

"I know it's still early in the day, but if you have time later, I'd love to take you to dinner again?" he asks her, hoping that she will say yes. "What do you say?"

Robin purses her lips together. "I am flattered, I really am," she says as she looks back into his eyes. "But for right now, we can just be friends. I hope I'm not upsetting you, but I really have to focus on myself and this baby."

"I suppose I understand," he uneasily nods back to her. "As long as that's all it is and it's not that Cory Calvin is trying to interfere."

"Let's leave Cory out of this," Robin tells him. "And just try to respect my decision, please."

The Sugarbowl

Andy moves into the coffeehouse looking for another coffee before he heads into the Twin Peaks Sun. After he grabs his coffee, he puts a lid on his drink and prepares to leave but as he turns around, he happens to see Clayton sitting at the window seat with a latte and muffin in front of him. He recalls how the last time he saw Clayton, he admitted that he was still in love with Nicholas; Andy just hopes that Clayton isn't back in town to cause any trouble between him and his fiancé.

"Morning Clayton," Andy says as he moves up to the man that looks like his deceased husband. "How's it going today?"

"I'm good," Clayton replies to him quickly. "Let me guess? Nicholas told you that he ran into me?"

"Actually no, he didn't," Andy replies to him. "I hope it was a good conversation?"

"I told him what I told you," Clayton tells him. "And that's that I still love Nicholas, but he indicated that he was going to marry you, regardless."

Andy breathes a sigh of relief at Clayton's remark. "I am glad that back in town, Clayton. Madeline really missed you while you were away and to be honest, I do like the idea of you being here because you have a connection to Reese; but, I don't want any trouble, okay? So, please, even though you still have feelings for my fiancé, try to move on? Just try to put this all behind us so we can move on with our lives?"

***

At the back booth, Adam and Helen sit across from one another with coffee's on the table in front of them. Adam looks back at his former wife with concern as the last time he saw her, she revealed that she accepted Dale's marriage proposal; the reason he is concerned is because he discovered that Dale is Mallory's father and considering that Mallory died on their property, he can't help but wonder if Dale has an ulterior motive.

"Thanks for having coffee with me this morning," Adam finally breaks the silence between them. "I don't want this to be weird between us, Helen."

"I certainly don't feel any tension between you and I, Adam," she replies to him. "But I do have to wonder why you are feeling this weirdness?"

He sighs back to her. "I am just nervous about this engagement of yours. Are you absolutely sure that this is what you want?"

Helen nods back to him quickly. "I am very sure," she replies to him. "For so long, I was sitting around pinning after you when you were with Robin. Dale came into my life when I realized that I had to move on and I haven't felt this content in a very long time. I know you have your reservations, but you have to trust me that I know my fiancé."

"I'm trying, but since I found out that Dale is Mallory's father…"

"He lost his daughter," Helen tells him. "He is trying to put his life back together and I happen to be a key part of that. Look Adam, Dale and I are happy, so you need to accept that, the same way that I had to accept you're engagement to Robin."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Madeline looks at the ring on her left finger as she looks over a file in her office at the hospital while she has a patient's file open on her desk. She smiles at the sight of it as she recalls how she and Robbie eloped in Las Vegas the other day; they had to come back to Twin Peaks shortly after because Natasha is still in the hospital and Robbie didn't want to be away from his sister for too long. Since she and Robbie had been drinking when they eloped, she has no idea what the future means for them, or this marriage.

"Well hi," a voice calls out at the doorway of her office. Madeline looks up and sees Robbie standing there.

"Robbie, hi," Madeline stands up from behind her desk. "How is Natasha?"

Robbie sighs back to her as he thinks about how Natasha was diagnosed with a rare blood disease that is slowly killing her; he hates that he doesn't know how much longer he has with his sister because they have been through so much together and he can't imagine his life without her.

"She's doing as well as to be expected," he replies to her. "She's hoping that Shane will let her go home so she can be more comfortable."

"I am sorry that this is happening," Madeline tells him. "If I can help with anything…I am here for you."

"Thanks, I appreciate that," Robbie smiles back to her. "But I think we should talk about what happened in Vegas, don't you?"

Madeline gulps back to him. "You mean the fact that we eloped? I still can't believe that we did that."

"Neither can I," Robbie admits to her. "But we are married, aren't we?"

"That we are," Madeline replies to him. "And you know, I've been thinking…is this the worst thing that could ever happen? I was really enjoying our time together and I…well, uh, I am very attracted to you."

"So you want to give our marriage a chance?" Robbie asks her as he moves closer to her.

"I do," Madeline says back to him. "Maybe this marriage was meant to be? There's only one way that we can find out? So what do you say Robbie? Let's give our marriage a chance?"

***

Abby paces outside of a hospital room as she feels beads of sweat form on her forehead. She recalls how she was at home with Dominick when Bryce showed up and told Dominick that he would hypnotize him to see if he could uncover any of the memories of the events leading up to Felicia and Frederick's wedding. Of course, Abby is worried that her husband will remember that Eva is alive; if that happens, she knows that her marriage will be invalid because Dominick and Eva never finalized their divorce.

"I have to do something, anything, to stop Dominick from remembering," Abby whispers to herself. "I have been drugging him for so long to ensure he doesn't remember; everything I've worked for could fall apart if he remembers."

She moves closer to the door of the hospital room that Bryce has Dominick in; she puts her ear to the door, trying to hear what they are saying but she can't make anything out.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on in there?" she asks herself in a panic.

Meanwhile, inside the hospital room, Dominick lays on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. Bryce is standing next to him with a tape recorder, so everything Dominick says will be accessible once he comes too.

"Dominick, can you hear me?" Bryce asks his patient.

"I can," Dominick replies to him with his eyes closed still.

"Tell me, do you remember what happened the night you stopped Felicia from marrying Frederick?" Bryce asks him next.

Dominick pauses as he gets a strained look on his face. "I…I was at home but I don't remember how I got to the mansion."

"Think about it," Bryce instructs him. "There must be some memory in there of how and why you went to the mansion."

"I…I can't make it out," Dominick admits to him. "But the next thing I remember, I was waking up at home with a nasty headache."

"Alright, let's continue to focus on what happened in between," Bryce says back to him. "We will get to the bottom of this, Dominick, we will."

Raven's Meadow

Will slowly moves up to the room at Raven's Meadow where Felicia is staying. He looks at the woman inside the room, who is resting on the bed inside the room. He knows that Felicia is in the hospital because first she claimed that Barbara Mills was alive and well but then she changed her story to that Eva was alive and posing as Barbara. Will knows that it is impossible that Eva is alive but he can't help but be curious about Felicia's story, since he has been having visions of Eva ever since she died last year.

He opens the door and moves inside, causing Felicia to turn and looks at him. "Good morning," he says as he moves closer to her. "How are you feeling today?"

Felicia shrugs back to him with an uneasiness. "I…I'm not sure. I suppose I am feeling a little out of it, likely due to the new medication that I am on."

"Don't worry about that," Will replies to her quickly. "Dr. Barty is an excellent doctor, he will make sure you get better."

"As long as Frederick doesn't come near me…"

"He won't," Will tells her. "Do you mind if I ask you something?"

"Sure," Felicia looks back at him.

"You said Eva was alive," Will moves closer to her. "What did you mean by that? How is she alive? She was stabbed…I saw her…"

"I don't know how she is alive," Felicia replies to him quickly. "But she is alive. She was posing as Barbara…it was all Frederick's plan to get me back. I'm not crazy, I'm telling the truth! Eva is alive!"

***

Meanwhile, in the padded cell, Eva looks over at Victoria is looking around the space that Frederick is keeping them. It has been a few days since they have seen or heard from Frederick and they are getting more and more desperate to find a way to escape the cell. The longer that they are in there, however, they are starting to lose hope that they will ever escape.

"What you are looking for?" Eva finally asks her daughter, who turns and looks back at her.

"Well, even though this is a padded cell," Victoria replies to her. "There are walls under here. There must be a vent or something to let air circulation to come through. I'm trying to see if I can find where the vent would be."

"Because if we find the vent, we can try to pry it open!" Eva stands up and moves closer to Victoria, trying to help her find the vent. "That's a great idea."

"Thanks," Victoria smiles back to her. "But until we find it, we haven't escaped just yet."

"I think this is it," Eva says as she pushes into the wall and feels something on the other side. "Feel this."

Victoria puts her hands up to where Eva's hands were. "I think you're right," Victoria smiles back to her. Victoria, then, removes her earring and uses the pin to start cutting through the paddling on the wall. The interior stuffing starts falling on the ground but, soon, the vent is revealed to be underneath the padding. Victoria turns to her mother with a smile on her face.

"Come on Mom," she smiles. "We are getting the hell out of here."
