At another table, Trenyce
and Chris
sit across from one another with some appetizers in front of them. Trenyce is
looking over her phone and sighs heavily at what she sees. She puts her phone
down and looks back at Chris and forces a smile on her face; the last thing she
wants to do is spend her time worrying about this issue while she is having lunch
with Chris. For the majority of the last year, her and Chris were on the rocks
because of her affair with Andrew
and the fact that he fathered Albertinah. Thankfully, Chris has agreed to try
to put that all behind him after he realized he still loved her after Dawn
attacked her.
"How was your morning today?" Trenyce finally
breaks the silence between the two of them.
"Pretty slow, actually,"
Chris sighs back to her. "Being an independent contractor can be quiet sometimes;
I'm hoping once the holiday hangover leaves, I'll be more in demand."
"You're great at marketing, I know that you'll be busy in no time,"
Trenyce smiles back to him. "Thanks for agreeing to have lunch with me today.
It's nice to see you without there been some drama hanging over us."
"You can say that again," Chris chuckles to her. "I did mean
it when I said I want us to work on our relationship Trenyce, but I have to be
honest with you, I don't think it will be that easy."
"I know
that it won't be easy," Trenyce sighs back to him. "The fact is, I betrayed
your trust, Chris. Just know that I will do anything I can to get us back to where
we were."
"That's the thing," Chris explains to her. "We
can't go back, Trey. We can only go forward. We will never be the same people
or same couple as we were. And we both have to accept that."
Trenyce
uneasily nods back to him. "I'll do whatever I have too to make us work."
"Do you mean that?" he asks her as she nods back to him. "Alright,
because I was thinking about something and wanted to get your opinion…"
"Uh, sure? What is your idea?"
"Couples therapy,"
Chris reveals to her as they lock eyes. "I want us to go to therapy together,
Trey. What do you say? Will you go make our marriage work?"
"Of
course," Trenyce says as she reaches over and grabs his hand. "I'll
do anything, Chris. And if you think this will help us, this is the most important
thing for us."
The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair
 
Frederick
opens the door to the Victors mansion and scurries inside with a suitcase in his
hand. He is freshly back from Rome, Italy, as he decided to return home because
he thought trying to find Dominick
and Felicia
in Italy was like finding a needle in a haystack. He still has his private investigator
on the case, and he hopes that they will uncover a true lead, and then he can
head back to Italy.
He sets the suitcase down and makes a beeline towards
the living room. He is desperate for a scotch before he will take a shower. The
long flight has left him drained and he just wants to relax. He freezes, however,
when he moves into the living room and sees Daisy
sitting on the sofa looking at her phone.
"Daisy," Frederick
says with an arched eyebrow. "What…what are you doing here?"
Daisy stands up and looks at her father before she crosses her arms over her
chest. "Thank God you're here," Daisy looks back at him with intent.
"I need your help, Frederick, and I can't take no for an answer."
Frederick looks back at his daughter with curiosity. "You have my intention;
what can I do for you, Daisy?"
The Richardson Estate; Meggan,
Logan, & Donovan's Home
 
Logan
looks at the screen of his phone and sighs in disappointment. He had hoped to
hear from either his mother or Sophie,
but neither one has reached out to him. He knows that Sophie is still going through
a lot because of her miscarriage, but he had hoped that they could be there for
one another. Instead, he hasn't heard from her in weeks and he doesn't know where
they really stand right now. He runs his hands through his hair and moves towards
the bar as he wants to have a vodka.
"Do you really need a drink
at lunch?" a voice calls out from behind Logan. He turns around and sees
his father standing behind him.
"Dad, what are you doing here?"
Logan asks Jeff
quickly as he puts his hands in his pockets.
"Do I need a reason
to see my son?" Jeff asks him with a chuckle. "I have to admit that
I am concerned about you; I don't like seeing you moving to the bar at this hour
of the day."
"Dad, please don't lecture me," Logan sighs
back to him heavily. "I'm fine; I'm going through a lot right now and just
wanted a drink. No harm, no foul."
"I know but after everything
that your mother has gone through, I don't want you going down that same path,"
Jeff admits to her. "Meggan
has been battling alcoholism for years."
"I know that but there's
good news on this," Logan looks back at Jeff, who arches his eyebrow. "Mom,
she went to rehab."
"What?" Jeff gasps back to him in shock.
"When did this happen?"
"Right after Christmas," Logan
explains to him. "I think after Sophie's ordeal she realized that she had
to get help. I'm expecting her to be back in a few weeks."
"That
is the best news I've heard in a long time," Jeff smiles back to him. "Now
if I can convince you to not drink so much, everything would be right in the world."
The Sugarbowl
 
In the
back booth of the coffeehouse, Leah
and Bryce
sit across from one another. Leah has a hot chocolate in front of her while Bryce
has a large coffee on the table. They have agreed to meet this afternoon because
they have agreed to work together to break up Jeff and Victoria.
They are both still reeling from learning of their affair, which happened at the
RELax launch party. Leah, in particular, was furious with Jeff for carrying on
an affair behind her back, especially with the woman that has set out to destroy
her.
"How have you been feeling about our plan?" Bryce asks
his mother. He almost can't believe that he and Leah are as close as they are;
for months, they were at odds because Bryce felt like Leah, and Jeff to a lesser
degree, were pushing him, and Ethan,
to be a family, when they just learned that they were his parents.
"I
would feel better if we had some concrete," Leah looks back at him with intent.
"We know we want to break up Jeff and Victoria, but we have no ideas on how
to do that."
"I think it will be more difficult than what we
first thought," Bryce sighs back to her.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because," Bryce replies to her. "If this was just an affair,
it would have ended when it was exposed. Jeff would have been desperate to get
back together with you; the fact that Jeff thinks they have a future together
means that they have feelings for one another."
"Please stop
talking, I think I'm going to be sick," Leah rolls her eyes back to him.
"But that makes sense. There seems to be a…connection…God I hate
this…between them."
"Which will make this more difficult,"
Bryce tells her. "Whatever we come up with, it will have to be something
that can break that connection. So, we have to start thinking about what that
could be; what could we do that will break them up for good?"
The
Young Mansion; Nicholas & Jarrod's Home
 
"Jarrod, are you here?" Nicholas calls out as he moves into the
living room of the Young mansion. After he chose to be with Jarrod, and not Andy,
he moved out of Andy's condo and back into the Young mansion. They have been living
together ever since as they try to navigate their relationship again.
Jarrod
appears from the staircase and looks at his lover. "I'm here, in the flesh,"
Jarrod grins back at him. "You're home early."
"Yea, I
just had lunch with my sister, Robin," Nicholas says back to him. "And
I wanted to see you."
"I will have to see Robin again soon,"
Jarrod moves closer to him. "I would love to reconnect with her."
"I'm sure she'd love that too," Nicholas smiles back to him.
"How was work? You'll have to fill me in on what you're doing now,"
Jarrod chuckles to him.
"My career journey has been complicated and
definitely a conversation for another time," Nicholas tells him. "How
was your morning?"
"It was good, I too saw a friend."
"A friend? I didn't realize you had friends in town already?"
"Yea, Donovan Moretti," Jarrod replies to him quickly. "We
met by accident but he seems like a cool guy."
"I know Donovan,"
Nicholas replies to him. "He is a nice guy. I'm glad that you're making connections."
"I could use another type of connection," Jarrod purrs as he moves
closer to Nicholas. "Since you're home early, why don't we take advantage
of our time?"
"I love the way you think," Nicholas says
as he kisses Jarrod's lips passionately.
Twin Peaks General Hospital
 
Cheresa
moves into the cafeteria of the hospital and grabs an orange juice from the fridge.
She pays the cashier and moves into the dining hall. She is at the hospital in
hopes of seeing Dawn, but visiting hours in her ward don't start for another 30
minutes. She is still rattled by the fact that Dawn was moved from the holding
cells at the police station to the mental ward at the hospital; she knows that
Simona went on vacation, but she had hoped to be informed by that.
Cheresa
happens to see a seat open so she sits there, causing Stephanie
to look over and see the younger woman. "Hi," Stephanie smiles at her.
"How you doing today?"
"I will be better once I see my
girlfriend," Cheresa replies to her before she takes a sip of her orange
juice.
"She's at the hospital?" Stephanie asks her as Cheresa
nods back to her. "I hope she gets better. If you need anything, I'm a doctor,
I could try to help."
"I appreciate that," Cheresa smiles
back to her. "I'm Cheresa Lawson."
"Stephanie Clarke,"
Stephanie replies to her. "It's nice to meet you, Cheresa."
"Likewise,
us sisters, we need to stick together."
"That we do, that we
do," Stephanie chuckles back to her.
The Cascade Apartments; Cassie,
Jacob, & Carter's Home
 
Jacob,
who is only wearing grey sweatpants, rushes into the kitchen in the small apartment
that he shares with Cassie
and Carter. He opens the fridge and grabs a bottle of water, which he opens immediately
and takes a sip of it. He is reeling from the fact that after he and Cassie had
sex, she suggested that they have another child. It was the last thing that he
thought she was going to suggest.
"There you are," Cassie comes
out, wrapping her naked body with a cream-colored silk robe. "You got out
of bed quickly, Jacob. Did…did I say anything wrong?"
"No,
of course, not," Jacob looks back at his wife. "It's just…your
question threw me for a loop."
"You mean wanting to have another
baby? Why does that surprise you?" Cassie asks him quickly. "I love
you, I love our family, I love our son; I…I would love to have another child
with you, Jacob."
"You made your point very clear," Jacob
nods back to her. "And I understand the piece about your age; it…it
makes sense."
"Then why did you rush out of the room? What's
going on with you?"
"Do you want me to be honest?"
"Of course, I do! We can tell each other anything, Jacob," Cassie
moves closer to him. "We married; please talk to me."
Jacob
sighs and looks back at her. "The truth is," he begins to tell her.
"I…I don't know if I want another child. Not today, not tomorrow, maybe
not ever," he says as Cassie feels the blood drain from her face.
The
Claus House; Leah & Paige's Home
 
Paige
sits in the living room with her large belly present. She is very-pregnant as
her baby is due in a couple of weeks, but her mind more so on the fact that Will
has served her with lawsuit papers in hopes of stopping her from giving their
child up for adoption. The fact is, Paige wants to give the child up because she
doesn't feel like she is ready to handle being a single mom. Had she not discovered
that Will is still in love with Eva,
she might have thought they could have raised the child together, but the fact
is, he is in love with her, and she doesn't want to have a child in this environment.
She knows that there is another family out there that can give her child a better
home.
She slowly stands up when she hears the doorbell ring. She isn't
expecting anyone so she isn't sure who could be visiting her. She opens the front
door and gasps when she sees Will standing outside.
"Will, what are
you doing here?" she asks him as he moves into the foyer as Paige closes
the door behind him to keep the cold, winter air out of the house.
Will
shrugs back to her. "I…I don't know," he admits to her. "I…I
don't like where things are right now, Paige. I was hoping that we could talk
and just try to…I don't know…come to an understanding?"
"An
understanding?" Paige shrieks back to him. "You are suing me to take
away my decision over what to do with my body? What kind of understanding do you
want?"
Will sighs back to her. "I wish I knew, but when I think
about you, and us, Paige, this isn't what I want to remember," he admits
to her. "I guess I was hoping that we could talk as adults, as former lovers,
to try to make sense of this."
"Here are the facts Will; you
slept with me despite having feelings for another woman, a woman you still have
feelings for," Paige grills him. "And despite the fact that you fathered
my child, this is my body and I can do whatever the hell I want with it; you don't
get a say in this! If you can't understand that, then I'll see you in court."
"I am that baby's father," he reminds her. "I should have a
say!"
"No! That's where you're wrong, especially since you're
in love with Eva!" she says as she suddenly puts her hand on her stomach.
"Ahhhh!"
"Paige," Will rushes up to her in concern.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
Paige looks up at him in concern.
"My water just broke…I'm in labour!"
