Twin Peaks General Hospital

"This is my last stop before I head home," Greg tells Cheresa as the sunlight of a new day breaks through the blinds that are in Dawn's hospital room. Greg was on the night shift and he can't wait to head home, have a long hot shower and then crawl into bed. The rainstorm the night before created a lot of accidents that required medical attention, so he was incredibly busy with his shift.

"I appreciate you coming by before you leave," Cheresa smiles back to her Dad. "Do you have any updates for me Dawn's prognosis?"

"I do," Greg nods back to her. "Are Adam and Helen here? It would save me the time of having to go this again?"

"I'm afraid not," Cheresa replies to him quickly. "Helen went home last night to sleep and Adam hasn't heard from her, so he went to her place today to give her the latest update and ensure she's okay."

"Alright, so you can relay the information to them or ask another doctor who is on rotation to explain if you," Greg tells his daughter. "The good news is that, I think Dawn has made so much improvement that I believe we can bring her out of the coma."

Cheresa feels her eyes swell with water at the update her father just gave her. "You…you mean that? You can bring Dawn out of the coma?"

Greg nods back to her. "I've already administrated the drug a short time ago, she should be waking up anytime."

"Thank you, Daddy," Cheresa moves up to him and hugs him. "This entire nightmare has been so much better because you have handled Dawn's case. I couldn't have gotten through this without you."

"I love you peanut," Greg tells her as they exit their embrace. "Alright, you stay with your fiancé; when she wakes up, push the call button so the nurse can check her vitals, but otherwise, enjoy your time with her."

"I will, and you, go and get some rest," Cheresa tells her father, who turns and leaves the hospital room. Cheresa turns around and looks at Dawn as a tear falls down her cheek. She slowly moves closer to Dawn and sits next to her. "Did you hear that, you're going to wake up," she says as a tear falls down her cheek. "Thank God, you're going to come back to me."

Just then, Dawn's eyes start to flutter. Cheresa grabs her hand to squeeze it. "Dawn? Can you hear me?"

Dawn's eyes open and she looks at Cheresa and gives her half a smile. "Thank God," Cheresa cries as she hugs Dawn. "Thank God you came back to me!"

The Black House; Helen & Dawn's Home

Adam rings the doorbell feverishly as he stands on the porch of the house that he shared with Helen for years when they were married. He recalls how the previous evening when he and Cheresa learned that Dawn was doing so much better that Greg thought she would be able to come out of her coma soon; he called Helen to give her the news, but it went straight to her voicemail. He knows that Helen would have kept her phone on, even if she was at home, in case there was a change with their daughter. The fact that he hasn't heard from her is making him wonder if something is wrong with his ex-wife.

"Come on Helen," he whispers as he knocks on the door again. "Why aren't you answering?" he asks himself as he stops knocking.

"Alright, that's it," he tells himself as he pulls out his keys from his pocket. Since he and Helen have remained close throughout the years, he has always had a key to the house. He uses the key to unlock the door.

He opens the door and moves inside and immediately sees something that strikes him as odd; there are skid marks on the hardwood floor like Helen, or someone, was rushing to get out of the house.

"Helen?" he calls out as he moves to the living. He doesn't see anything out of the ordinary, other then the large vase that was always on the coffee table is missing. "Helen, where are you?"

He turns and rushes up the stairs and looks in the main bedroom; when he doesn't see Helen, he takes a deep breath.

"Alright, now I'm really worried," he tells himself. "Where the are you Helen? And why do I get the feeling that you're in trouble?"

The Calimo Mansion

Isabelle slowly opens her eyes and looks around the room, remembering that she is in Jacob's bedroom at the Calimo mansion. She looks over and sees Jacob looking out of the window, only wearing a pair of grey sweatpants.

"Morning," she says to her fiancé, which causes Jacob to turn and around and smile to her.

"Morning," he replies to her. "The rainstorm is over."

"Phew," she breathes a sigh of relief. "I haven't seen a storm like that in years."

"Yea, me either," he moves closer to the bed and sits on the edge of it. "The sun is shining because it is going to be a great day."

"It is, isn't it?" she giggles back to him. "It is our wedding day!"

"I'm glad you remembered," he winks back to her. "Because I can't wait to make you my wife."

"Me either," Isabelle tells him. "Mostly, because I want to see your Mom's face when we become husband and wife; her last wish will come true."

"That's all I want, especially since Cory isn't here anymore."

"We are going to bring happiness to the family," Isabelle says as she grabs his hand. "Our wedding is exactly what the family needs right now; it will start to mend broken hearts."

"Let's hope for everyone involved," Jacob replies to her, as he thinks about Cassie and how upset she has been about his pending marriage to Isabelle. He just hopes that once the wedding has taken place, that she will be able to start to move on with the rest of her life as well.

MW Investigations

Meggan sits behind her desk typing furiously into her laptop as she tries to come up with any new leads on Olly or Jasper's whereabouts. She knows that Lukas and Donovan have been worried sick about their missing son, especially since it has been weeks since he was kidnapped. She knows that the longer he is missing, the less of a chance he will comeback, but she wants to do everything she can to try to find the child.

As she continues to type, she can't help but think back to the previous night when Jeff proposed to her, which took her by surprise. Before she could give him an answer, however, Leah called and told him that Cory was dead. He left to ensure Leah was okay before she could answer him. Then, Lukas went to see Jeff to tell him to give Meggan a chance to respond, and he saw Jeff and Leah together in one another's arms. Sher hasn't been able to get the thought of Leah and Jeff together out of her mind, considering their sorted history together.

"Good morning," a voice calls out at her office door. She looks over and sees Jeff standing there. "I see you survived the rest of the storm?"

"I did," she nods back to him. "How was Leah when you went to see her?"

Jeff shrugs back to her. "I think Cory's passing is just another thing that has made her have a very difficult year," he reveals to her. "She's been through a lot."

"Yes, she certainly has," Meggan replies to him coldly. "Thank God she has you to lean on."

"Alright, you're upset that I left and went to Leah's last night, I take it?"

Meggan chuckles back to him. "You will always do what you need to when it comes to your ex-wife," she replies to him. "But I never was able to give you an answer to your marriage proposal."

"No, you didn't," Jeff looks back into her eyes. "Do you want to give me an answer now?"

"I don't want to marry you," Meggan spits back to him. "Not no, not ever, Jeff. How's that for your answer?"

The Sugarbowl

"How hung over are you?" Paige chuckles as she moves up to the back booth of the coffeehouse, where she sees Ethan nursing a coffee, and a bottle of water, as she knows that he was drinking heavily the night before.

Ethan groans back to her. "Why didn't you cut me off at the Pink Flamingo?"

She giggles back to him. "Because, you're a big boy, you should know your limit and play within it."

"I supposed that's fair," Ethan winks back to her before he takes a sip of his water. "My head is spinning though, to be honest."

"Do you want some advil?"" she asks him.

"I've already taken some," he admits to her. "I guess I just got caught up in my feelings over the fact that my only friend in this town has to stay away from me because of other's perspectives, you know?"

Paige uneasily nods back to him as she recalls how Ethan revealed that he and Abby agreed to keep their distance from each other because she is worried that people, including Paige, are thinking that they are having an affair.

"I get it," she replies to him. "But remember what I said, I am your friend too Ethan. I know we didn't get off on the right foot, but I can be there for you."

"You mean that, don't you?"

"I do."

"Then let's get out of here?" Ethan sits up in the booth. "Let's get out of Twin Peaks; I need a change of scenery."

"You know, I was thinking the same thing this morning," Paige admits to him. "I need a vacation."

"Where could we jet off too that's quick and easy?" he asks her.

"Vegas?" She looks back at him with an arched eyebrow.

Ethan chuckles back to her. "That is perfect, let's go to Vegas baby!"

Robertson Enterprises

"And, I told you!" Abby shrieks into the phone as she sits behind the desk in the main office of Robertson Enterprises as Tyler and Leah move inside as they heard her voice from the hallway. "The mocks that you presented me for the new ad campaign were utter garbage! You need to do better or else you won't have this job anymore!"

She hangs up the phone in a huff as she sighs heavily before she looks over at her stepchildren.

"If you keep talking to employees that way, you have any for very long," Tyler replies to her quickly.

"Shut up Tyler, don't tell me how to run my company," Abby sneers back to him. "In case you have forgotten, I am the CEO now and I will run this company the way I see fit."

Leah uneasily chuckles back to her. "How could we forget that you're the CEO? You never let us forget!"

"Can you take a break from trying to ruin this company for five minutes?" Tyler asks her as Abby glares back at him. "We need to understand that the hell made you decided to revoke the restraining order we had in place to keep Frederick away from Felicia?"

"You know that Frederick is obsessed with Felicia," Leah chimes in. "And now, because of you, our mother could be in serious danger!"

Abby sighs back to them. "I will tell you what I told Tyler when he called me last night," she replies to him, knowing that she must ensure that they don't know that Frederick is blackmailing her into helping him. The last thing she needs is for Dominick's children to learn that she was drugging him to ensure he didn't remember the events leading up to Felicia and Frederick's wedding because then, they would learn that Eva is alive and that she isn't even Dominick's legal wife. "Frederick, to me, has always been a great doctor. I thought that he should help Felicia. I think it's best."

"Even though that's not want Dominick, your husband, wanted? You know, as power of attorney, you are supposed to do what he would have wanted," Tyler tries to not yell back at her.

"I believe Dominick would have come around."

"You're full of shit!" Tyler yells at her. "You know what, you can think you're in charge all you want, but I will stop you, Abigail. I will stop you from hurting my mother and I will make damn sure that I stop you from ruining this company. I don't know, but I will make sure that I stop you."

The Tower's, Floor One; Andy's Condo

Nicholas knocks on the door to Andy's condo, desperate to see him as he needs to tell him that they can be together very soon. He doesn't want to go into all the details just yet because he doesn't want Andy to get his hopes up about Clayton not truly being a Wilkins until he has proof; he does believe that Melissa was telling him the truth, but considering her history of lying, he wants to have all of his eggs in a basket first.

Andy opens the door and looks back in surprise at the man that left him at the altar. "Nicholas, what are you doing here?"

"I…I had to see you," Nicholas admits to him. "Can I, can I come in?"

"Uh, sure?"

Nicholas moves into the apartment while Andy closes the door behind him. "What is this all about?"

"I love you Andy," Nicholas looks into his eyes. "I always have, I always will. I will be able to explain to you very soon, but I wanted you to know that I am working towards getting out of this shame of a marriage that I am in with Clayton."

Andy feels his head start to spin at what Nicholas is saying. He knows that Nicholas told him that he had a connection to Clayton, which is why he didn't show up to their wedding and married Clayton instead; now, he is telling him that his marriage is a shame and he loves him.

"I…I don't know what to say," Andy admits to him. "This is all so surreal. First you tell me you want to marry me, then you leave me at the altar and claim that you had a connection to Clayton so you married him… and now this…I, I don't know what to believe."

"Believe this," Nicholas moves up to him and kisses him passionately. "I love you Andy. I want you."

"Then be with me," Andy replies to him as they kiss again before Andy leads him to the bedroom, where they start to undress each other.

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

Greg slowly walks up the stairs of his lavish home as he is looking forward to grabbing a hot shower before falling asleep since he worked overnight at the hospital. As he reaches the second level, he turns to move towards the main bedroom, but he freezes when he sees something on the carpet that is coming out of Traci's bedroom.

"What is that?" he asks himself as he moves up to the stained carpet and puts his hand on the rug. He moves it to his nose to smell it to see what the stain. "It's…it's blood."

"Traci? Traci, are you okay?" he asks as he rushes into the bedroom and then yells in horror when he sees Kim's bloody body on the ground, with two gun shot wounds causing the blood to seep into the carpet.

"Kim! Oh my God, Kim!" he cries as he checks her pulse. "Hang on, I'm going to get you help! Dear God, please let her make it! Hang on Kim! Hang on!"
