The Calimo Mansion

Robbie moves into the living room of the Calimo mansion and puts his briefcase down on the sofa as he notices Madeline sipping a glass of red wine while she looks out of the French doors and into the garden. He smiles at the sight of his new wife making herself at home since she now lives in the mansion with him, Natasha and Jacob.

"That looks nice," Robbie announces her to her, causing her to look over at him. "Wine, a beautiful woman, and the view of the garden…" he smiles over to her.

"I didn't hear you come in," she admits to him as she looks over at her husband.

"I just walked in," Robbie replies to her. "It was a very long day."

"Why don't you join me for a glass of wine then?" Madeline suggests to him as he moves to the bar and pours himself a glass of red wine. "I also had a long day at the hospital."

"Oddly enough, I ran into Greg Lawson earlier and I happened to tell him that it feels like something is in the air right now in Twin Peaks with Dawn, Dominick and Natasha all dealing with a medical issue, you know?"

"Let's just hope that it ends here," she tells her husband. "I happened to see you, by the way, talking to Greg, I mean."

Robbie arches his eyebrow back to her as he takes a sip of his wine. "At the Sugarbowl? Why didn't you come and say hi?"

"I, uh, I was about too," she replies to him. "But I heard you asking him about his wedding plans and I left."

"Why would you do that?"

"Because," she gulps back to him. "It felt like you wanted to know what Kim's plans are, Robbie. I have to ask, do you still have feelings for your ex-wife? Are you still in love with Kim?"

Robbie uneasily looks back at her before he takes another sip of his wine. "It's…it's complicated," he admits to her. "Kim and I, we have a very long history, so yes, there is a part of me that still loves her. There is a part of me that will always love her, but we are over, Madeline. She made that very clear. After we got married, I made it clear to you that I wanted to give our relationship a chance, and I meant that. I am sorry if you misunderstood what I was saying, but I hope that clears it up?"

Madeline forces a smile on her face. "It does," she tells him. "I guess after feeling like I was competing with a ghost when I was with Will, I don't want to compete for a guy's attention. I want his full attention."

"You have mine," Robbie replies to her. "Why don't we go upstairs, and I can show you just how much of my attention you have?"

Madeline smiles back to him. "I love the sound of that," she purrs to him.

The Lawson Estate; Greg, Kim & Cheresa's Home

Kim slowly moves down the hallway of the second level of the Lawson estate as she gets closer to Traci's bedroom. She had been downstairs re-reading Greg's latest message to her that Cheresa realized that Traci reminded her of Tara; the update really surprised Kim as she never saw the similarity, but she can't get it out of her mind. She decided to go to Traci's room to look around to see if there is anything that would set her off; Kim was nervous about it, but considering how many times they have caught the maid looking around the mansion, she feels justified in her decision.

She reaches the door and knocks softly, however, she knows that Traci won't answer as she is, technically, still on duty. When no one responds, Kim slowly opens the door and moves inside the bedroom.

She takes a deep breath and moves to the bed, where she opens the drawer in the end table. She closes it quickly when she doesn't see anything of use. She then moves to the closet and opens the door.

She starts looking through the clothing, which is mostly the maid's uniform that Traci wears. She gasps, however, when she sees something in the back of the closet.

"It's a wig," Kim tells herself as she looks at the long black hair on a manikin's head. Kim shuts her eyes and thinks back to the previous year when Tara had kidnapped Cheresa; Robbie, Kim and Greg had gone to the warehouse to save her, and that's when Kim lost her baby. But what Kim is remembering is Tara's hair. The long, jet black hair reached the middle of her back. Kim opens her eyes and looks at the wig. "My God," she gasps. "It's…it's Tara's hair!"

The River Rock Casino

"I don't understand," Daisy looks over at Andrew, who is pacing back and forth in his suite at the casino. Andrew just revealed to Daisy that when he gave Antonio the money, he noted that he still owed the casino owner interest on the loan. They are both feeling like they can't escape from being under Antonio's thumb. "How much is this interest?"

"It's not a lot," Andrew replies to her. "But every day that I don't pay it, it grows. I hate this! I hate this fucking place!"

"I know," Daisy moves closer to him. "And so do I, we need to escape, I agree. But we can't until we have settled everything with Antonio. I…I am in the same boat as you, actually."

Andrew looks back at her in surprise. "What does that mean? How do you owe Antonio?"

Daisy gulps back to him. "I…I haven't shared this with anyone Andrew, so you have to promise me that you won't say anything to anyone."

"Of course," he replies to her. "What we talk about stays between us, always."

"I've been working for Antonio," she reveals to him as his eyes open wider in surprise. "Remember how I told you that I was running from something? Well, it was something that was rather painful, and I turned to this job to help numb my pain."

"What kind of job are you talking about, Daisy? What have you been doing for Antonio?"

"I," she begins to tell him as she takes a deep breath. "I've been one of his escorts at the hotel. Basically, I sleep with men for money. That's how I was able to give you all that cash to pay back his loan."

Andrew feels the blood drain from his face at her revelation. "I don't know what to say."

"There's nothing to say," she tells him. "I realize that I have to stop; this isn't who I am, and I want to get back to being me. But I can't stop until I've paid back all of Antonio's gifts to me. Meaning, he bought me all my fancy dresses and jewelry."

"Don't you see? He's doing this so we have no choice to but to stay here!" Andrew tells her in a huff. "We have to do something to ensure that we can get out of here!"

"We will," Daisy nods back to him. "I'm going to work a few more nights; we can use the money to pay back your loan and what I owe him and then we can leave this place Andrew. We can leave the casino and never look back."

Andrew moves up to her and looks into her eyes. "We need to get out of here," he whispers to her as he caresses her cheek. "We need to escape this hell."

Daisy leans in and kisses him on the lips. "Trust me, we will. We will leave here, we just have to be patient."

Raven's Meadow

"Do you have any idea where we are?" Will asks Bryce as the two men walk through the back grounds of the hospital. They discovered one another in the secret office within the walls of Raven's Meadow and agreed to work together to try to find Eva and Victoria, as they realized that Frederick had been holding them hostage in a padded cell.

Bryce uneasily looks around and tries to piece it together. The black sky, however, is making it difficult to see much. Still, it does feel very familiar to him.

"I think I do," Bryce admits to him. "This is the same way that Victoria and I left last time."

"Last time?" Will asks him in confusion. "You and Victoria had to escape the hospital before?"

Bryce uneasily nods back to him. "It was last year," he reveals to him. "Frederick hadn't revealed himself to everyone yet, so he was desperate to keep the fact that he was still alive a secret. Victoria had checked herself into the hospital and realized that Frederick was alive. To keep her quiet, Frederick tried to kill her."

"My God! What did he try to do?"

"He wanted to perform a lobotomy on her," Bryce stuns Will further, as he recalls the horrific events. "I was able to knock him out and escape with Victoria. I am pretty sure this is the way that I we went."

"Thank God you were there for Victoria," Will replies to him. "So, where does this trail lead us? Maybe it is where Eva and Victoria are hiding from Frederick?"

Bryce nods back to him. "It took us to the Calimo cabin, which isn't too far from here. Now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense that Victoria and Eva would hide there. Come on, we might be closer to the women then we think."

"Alright, I'll follow your lead," Will tells him, hoping that they are able to find Eva and Victoria. After all this time, he wants nothing more than to be reunited with Eva.

***

Meanwhile, inside his office in the hospital, Frederick stares are the screen of his phone, almost willing it to chime with an updated message. He had left Abby a voicemail earlier in the evening demanding that she call off the restraining order that Dominick and Tyler set up against him with Felicia. Now that Abby has Dominick's power of attorney, he wants her to remove the restraining order so he can visit Felicia whenever he wants. Of course, if she refuses, he can expose the fact that she was drugging Dominick before his stroke.

"As soon as I get that damn restraining order lifted, I can start with my plan to get Felicia back," he whispers to himself. "And there's noting that Bryce can do to stop me."

He arches his eyebrow quickly as he realizes that he hasn't seen the younger doctor most of the day. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Will either," he tells himself. "I wonder if they found the padded cell where Victoria and Eva were and went to find them? Bryce was determined to find his wife."

"I better go to my secret study," he tells himself. "The last thing I need is for those four to find my files and learn some of my deepest secrets."

Dominick's Townhouse

"Abby! Open this door! We need to talk!" Paige yells as she pounds her fist into the front door of her grandfather's house. She is still furious with Abby for using Dominick's power of attorney to, not only take over as head of the family, but also CEO of Robertson Enterprises. Paige hates that Abby is using Dominick's stroke to her full advantage and she wants it to end.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" a flabbergasted Abby asks as she opens the door and sees Paige standing there. "Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"I don't care about that," Paige blows past her and moves into the living room, where she sees Ethan sitting on the sofa. "Well, isn't this cozy! What the hell are you doing here?"

"Ethan is my lawyer," Abby tells her as he stands up and looks back at Paige. "He was just giving me some legal advice."

"Over wine?" Paige huffs before she looks at Ethan. "Do you always consult your clients over wine?"

"I can tell that you're upset…" Ethan tries to respond to her.

"Your damn straight I'm upset! My grandfather is in the hospital fighting for his life, and Abby is using that to her advantage!" Paige squeals before she turns to Abby. "I'm here to tell you that you won't get away with this! I will make sure that you're stopped."

Abby rolls her eyes back to her. "You know that Paige, I am really tired of you thinking you can come into my house and speak to me anyway that you want. Need I remind you that I am Dominick's wife!"

"Shut up, no one cares about your shame of a marriage!"

Abby's hand slaps Paige across the cheek. Paige looks back at her in shock. "You bitch!"

"Don't you dare understatement me or my marriage!" Abby glares back at her.

"Ladies, come on," Ethan moves in-between them to prevent them from continuing to fight. "This won't solve anything."

"You're right," Paige nods back to him. "But consider yourself warned, Abby. You won't get away with this, I will see to that."

The Black House; Helen & Dawn's Home

Helen paces back and forth in the living room of the house that she lives in with Dawn as her mind races about the visit that she had from Simona Lopez earlier in the day. The police detective informed her that Dale's car was found in a parking lot on the out skirts of town in the warehouse district; the property owner called the police as the vehicle was parked on private property. When the police went to move the vehicle, they noticed that it had a large dent on the side of it, as if Dale hit something with his car. Simona, then, asked Helen if Dale had any motive to want Dawn dead, since her daughter was just involved in a hit and run. The visit has left Helen rattled to say the very least.

"There you are, I was calling you to see if you wanted to have a late dinner at the Pink Flamingo," Dale says as he moves into the living room and see his fiancé walking back and forth. "Helen? Is everything okay? It's not Dawn is it?"

Helen looks at him with water in her eyes. "Tell me it's not true," she whispers back to him. "Tell me that you didn't try to kill my daughter!"

Dale feels the blood drain from his face. "What are you talking about?"

"Your car was found in a private parking lot outside of town with a huge dent on the left-hand side," Helen reveals to him. "The police were here earlier and told me all about it."

Dale gulps heavily as he looks back at her. "Look, I didn't want to say anything because of everything that you've been going through with Dawn. I was involved in a minor accident yesterday; I was outside of town and parked my car there. I took an Uber back into town. I was going to call a tow truck to get my car, but it slipped my mind completely because of Dawn's accident. Why would you think I hit Dawn with car?"

Helen shakes her head as a tear falls down her cheek. "Simona, she asked me if it was possible and…I don't know! They haven't found the person who did this and Dawn is still in a coma…I'm losing my mind!"

Dale comes up to her and holds her tightly. "I love you, I would never do anything to hurt you," he whispers to her. "You have to trust me, Helen."

"I do, I'm sorry," she cries to him. "I just won't stop until the son of a bitch that did this to Dawn pays. They have to find the person responsible!"

Dale gulps heavily back to her as he continues to hold her. "I…I will do anything I can to help," he tells her, even though knows he's lying to her. He knows that he has to do whatever it takes to ensure no one knows that he is the one that hit Dawn with his car; he has worked too hard on his plan for it to go sideways. "What can I do?"

"Nothing," she says as she looks back at him as they exit their embrace. "I need to go to the hospital. Do you want to come?"

"No, I should deal with my car now before anyone else thinks I am guilty of something," Dale replies to her. "But, tell me you believe me. Tell me you know that I didn't hit Dawn with my car."

"I believe you," she nods back to him as she wipes her tears from her cheek.

"Good," he winks back to her. "Call me if you need anything okay?"

"I will," Helen tells him. "Good luck with your car."

Dale watches as she leaves the house before he breathes a sigh of relief. "That was close; too close. I have to figure out how to get rid of that damn car before the police realize that it was me. But how can I get rid of it without it making me look guilty? Damn it, think Dale! Your future is depending on this!"
