Meanwhile, across the room, Bryce
scurries up to Jeff knowing what is happening with Leah, Tyler, and Victoria.
He wants to give his father a heads up on what is happening because he knows that
Victoria will not be pleased.
"Jeff," Bryce says as Jeff looks
up from checking his Instagram feed. "We need to talk."
"Bryce?
Is everything okay?" Jeff asks in concern as he stands up from his chair.
"Yea, everything is fine, at least with me," Bryce tells him. "But
there is something you should know."
"Alright? What's going
on?" Jeff asks him.
"After you confided to me and Leah that
Victoria framed her, Leah went to Tyler with the information," Bryce tells
him. "And Leah and Tyler are with Victoria right now."
"Oh
God," Jeff groans in horror. "I can't imagine what is happening over
there."
"I'm pretty sure Victoria is going to be fired and Leah
is going to get her job back," Bryce explains to him. "And if you don't
leave Victoria now, I think all hell will break loose."
"Why
do you me to leave Victoria? I love her…"
"She framed the
mother of your children," Bryce tells him shock. "Why would you stay
with her?"
"Because," Jeff looks at him with intent. "I
love her, Bryce. I am in love with Victoria."
Roboto
Sophie
sits behind the main desk in the CEO office of her family's company and she's
typing into her laptop furiously. She was at her father's engagement party earlier
when she eavesdropped on Shane
and Natasha
planning a romantic evening once they left the party. That's when she realized
that she had to stop the evening from happening and she came to the company to
put her plan into action. She is still determined to seduce Shane to get back
at Natasha for sleeping with Max
last year.
"Alright," she tells herself as she gets a grin on
her face. "This email telling Natasha that the textiles she ordered from
California will be late will get her back to the office tonight so she can do
damage control."
She chuckles to herself as she presses send from
the newly created email address that she created. She knows that her mother needs
the textiles to carry out the next phase of the latest Roboto product, which she
is desperate to get on the shelves because Robertson Enterprises' has had such
huge success with the RELax launch.
"Mom will not be going home,"
she giggles. "She will be at the office before Shane knows what hit him and
I will be there to pick up the pieces."
The Pink Flamingo at the
River Rock Casino
 
Natasha
finishes her glass of champagne and sets the empty on the table that she is sitting
at with Shane. While she wants to support Cory's engagement to Robin, she is eagerly
looking forward to getting back to the mansion so she and Shane can have some
alone time with one another.
"I think we've been here close to an
hour," Natasha purrs over to her fiancé. "How about you finish
your champagne and we get out of here?"
Shane chuckles to her. "Someone
seems eager to get me alone," he winks back to her.
"Is it wrong
that I want to be with my man?"
"Not at all," Shane chuckles
again. He picks up his glass of champagne and finishes in one swift swig. He sets
the glass down and looks back at her with lust in his eyes. "There, I'm done
too. Let's go?"
"Music to my ears," she says as she stands
up and grabs her purse. She, then, grabs her phone, which is on the table and
she looks at the screen. "Oh, I got an email. This might be important."
She opens the email and gasps back in horror. "Oh no, no, no no!"
"What is it, Nat?"
"My project at Roboto, it has hit
a major snag. I…I have to deal with this," she says as she looks at
him. "You head to the mansion; this should only take me an hour, and then
I'll come join you?"
"Are you sure it can't wait until morning?"
Shane asks her quickly.
"Promise you I'll be an hour, then I'm all
yours. This project, it is everything to me because we are competing with Robertson
and that RELax brand."
"I get it," Shane smiles as he leans
in and kisses her on the lips. "I'll see you in an hour."

"I
hope you're having a good time tonight?" Cory grins to Robin, Nicholas,
and Leah as they stand in a corner together. Cory and his fiancé brought
her brother and sister together to have a quick discussion with them as they have
something important to chat about.
"This party is really something,"
Nicholas smiles back to him. "You two outdid yourself."
"I
agree with Nicholas," Leah chimes in. "The best part is seeing how happy
you two are together. This has been so long over do."
Robin chuckles.
"We couldn't agree more," she says as she grabs Cory's hand. "And
my handsome fiancé reminded me earlier that the main event is still coming…our
wedding."
"You must be excited! I know I am," Leah giggles
back to her sister.
"We are excited but we have some unfinished business
with the wedding," Cory explains to them. "And that is where you two
come into play."
"Us?" Nicholas asks with an arched eyebrow.
"What about us?"
"Well," Robin looks over at Leah.
"Leah, my darling sister, I would love for you to be my maid of honor."
"And Nicholas, I know how close you are to Robin, and I would like you
to be my best man," Cory explains to him. "So, will you two do will
us the honor and stand up for us on our big day?"
Leah and Nicholas
look at one another before they look back at the couple with smiles. "Of
course, we will," Leah says as she pulls Robin into a hug. "I love you
sis."
Cory and Nicholas embrace as well. "Thanks for doing this,
Nicholas."
"I would do anything for my sister," Nicholas
tells him as they exit their embrace. "Including making her wedding day the
most special day possible."
"It will be," Robin says as
she gets tears in her eyes. "Now that you two have said yes. Oh! This wedding
will be a day no one in Twin Peaks ever forgets!"

"When you said you wanted to celebrate my new contract, I didn't think
you meant coming to the engagement party," Chris
chuckles to
Trenyce as they exit the dance floor and move towards their table. While they
walk, he grabs two more glasses of champagne from one of the waiters and then
he passes it to Trenyce. He knows that they are celebrating the fact that he is
making more money for the family, which has been troubling them for the last few
months. Of course, he knows that he has lied to Trenyce about getting the contract.
The truth is, he can't tell his wife where he is really getting the money from
because he knows that she won't understand.
Trenyce smiles back to her
husband before she takes a sip of her champagne. "Even though we got some
money, we still have to be wise about it," she informs him. "When I
got this invite, I knew that there would be free food."
"And
an open bar?" Chris chuckles as he raises his glass to take a sip of his
champagne.
"Exactly," Trenyce giggles to him. "Seriously
though, Chris, I am so proud of you. I know you were struggling to find work and
contracts, so this is amazing."
"Thanks Trey," he flushes
hating that he is lying to her suddenly. "I am just doing what anyone would
do to support their family."
"So, I am assuming you'll be pretty
consumed with this contract?"
"Yea, I'll be doing a lot of work,"
he nods back to her. "I have booked some time for myself tomorrow to work
on the contract, actually."
"You take all the time you need,"
she winks back to him. "As long as you continue to bring in the money, you're
going to be able to do anything you want."
The Riverbench Winery;
Santa Barbara
   
Andrew,
Daisy,
and Latrice
all sit at the large dining room at the winery having a meal that the chef prepared.
They are, mostly, eating in silence as Andrew and Daisy are still trying to figure
out why Frederick
would have kept Latrice at the winery for so many years. They know that they can't
ask Latrice because the young girl, herself, won't have the answer for them.
"This is really good," Latrice finally speaks to her house guests.
"It's not often that I get to eat with others."
"You must
get lonely?" Daisy asks her before she takes a bite of her salad that is
on her plate.
"I mean, sometimes?" Latrice shrugs her shoulders
back to her. "I've been so long that I am sort of used to it."
"It's
not way to live," Andrew shakes his head back to her. "I mean in isolation."
"I don't feel isolated," Latrice informs him. "The groundskeepers
are really nice, and the wine master is also charming. And, I can go into town
and hit the beach whenever I want."
"What about school?"
Daisy asks her. "A young girl like you should be getting an education."
"I take classes online," Latrice reveals. "Last term I got
three A's and one B."
"That's impressive," Andrew smiles
back to her.
"Ah, I see you're all getting to know one another,"
a voice calls out at the entry way. The three of them look over and are shocked
to see Frederick standing there. "Yes, I'm here, and I thought it was time
we all got some things settled."
Twin Peaks General Hospital
Stephanie
slowly walks towards her office at the hospital reeling from the last few days.
She saw Jacob
in the park and they, finally, both admitted that they were starting to have feelings
for one another before they stopped being friends, which she knew was Cassie's
doing. What she didn't realize, however, is that Cassie saw the kiss and she confronted
Stephanie once Jacob left. Cassie told her that she was going to expose her as
a transwoman, so Stephanie stopped her from leaving a fight broke out between
them! Cassie, then, tripped and knocked herself unconscious, so Stephanie called
9-1-1. Jacob was worried about his wife, naturally, and pressed her for details
on what happened, but before she could answer, Jacob was allowed to see his wife.
She hasn't seen or heard from either of them since.
She opens the door
to her office and moves inside. She is hoping that by working she will be able
to start thinking about something else because she knows that there is nothing
else she can do right now.
She tries to start her laptop but after she
enters her credentials, the computer gives her a noise indicating that she didn't
gain access to the hospital system. She arches her eyebrow.
"That's
odd," she whispers to herself. She, then, picks up the phone and presses
a button, which automatically connects her to the IT department. "It's Dr.
Stephanie Clark, I believe I need a password reset."
She feels the
blood drain from her face. "What do you mean you were told to freeze my account?
Who told you that?"
"What? Why would the Chief of Staff order
that…you know what? Never mind, I'll find out myself," she says before
she hangs up the phone.
She, then, dials Shane's number and waits for
him to pick up. "Shane, hi, it's Stephanie. I'm at my office and I can't
log into my computer and IT said that you said to lock me out. What the hell is
going on?"
In his car as he drives back to the Calimo mansion, Shane,
who is using Bluetooth, nods back to her. "That's right," Shane tells
her. "I didn't get a chance to see you to explain, but Stephanie, you've
been suspended."
"Suspended? My God, why?"
"Cassie
Nova put in a formal compliant that you attacked her, and that resulted in her
miscarriage," Shane explains to her as Stephanie feels the blood drain from
her face. "Until the formal investigation has been completed, I had no choice
but so suspend you. I'm really sorry Stephanie."
"Don't be,"
Stephanie says a tear falls down her cheek. "I…I didn't do this, Shane.
And I will prove it. I promise you, I will prove it."
The Cascade
Apartments; Cassie, Jacob, & Carter's Home
 
Cassie
sits on the sofa in the apartment that she lives in with Jacob and Carter with
a blanket wrapped around her. Her eyes are red from the tears she has shed from
the fact that she has lost her unborn child. After everything she went through
to get pregnant, she can't believe that she lost the baby. And, in her mind, it
is all Stephanie's fault, which is why she filed the official compliant with the
hospital.
"How are you feeling?" Jacob asks as he moves into
the living room with a tray that has a teapot on it with a glass. "I made
you some peppermint tea, I know it's your favorite."
"Thanks,
that was sweet of you," she whispers back to him as he sits next to her and
passes her the tea. She takes a sip of it. "It's good."
"I
know it won't change you losing the baby, but I am trying to do anything I can
to make you feel better," Jacob tells her. "We are in this together,
Cassie."
Cassie nods as she gets more tears in her eyes. "I…I
just really wanted this baby more than anything else in the world," she says
as tear falls from her eye. "Just when I thought our family was going to
be perfect, this had to happen."
"Hey," Jacob looks back
at her. "We didn't need another baby for our family to be perfect; you, me,
and Carter, we are perfect."
"But…I really wanted this
baby, Jacob. I loved it so much already."
"I know you did,"
he says as he pulls her into a hug. "We will get through this together, Cassie.
I promise you will."
The Calimo Mansion
 
Robbie
opens the door to Bobby's nursey and is startled to see Madeline
looking out the window. Ever since the truth about Kim
being the child's mother came to light, Madeline has ignored the child, which
he thought was the right thing to do since she is not his mother. So, to find
her in the nursey is surprising, and somewhat alarming, to him.
"Maddie?
What…what are you doing in here?" he asks as he closes the door behind
himself.
Madeline slowly turns around and looks at her former lover. "I…I
was feeling restless and thought the presence of the baby would calm me."
"I don't think you should be in here," Robbie shakes his head back
to her. "Come on, let's go back to your room."
"I'm so
sorry," Madeline tells him as she gets tears in her eyes. "I…I
don't know what I was thinking with this entire mess, Robbie. But…I've created
so many problems. I…I'm so sorry."
"Madeline, this isn't
the time or place for this…"
"No, but it is," she
gasps for some air. "I…I need you to know that I haven't been myself
for a long time now. And…I've made a decision."
Robbie arches
his eyebrow back to her. "What kind of decision?"
"I need
to go away," she reveals to him. "I need to deal with my mental health
crisis. So I'm leaving Robbie, and I don't know if I will ever be back."
The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino
 
Tyler grabs another glass of champagne before he scans the room for his wife.
While he knows that Kim is at the party, he hasn't seen his wife all evening.
He can't wait to fill her in on the latest drama with Leah, Victoria, and Jeff.
Finally, his eyes spot Kim and he quickly rushes over to her.
"There
you are," Tyler smiles as he approaches her. "It feels like I haven't
seen you all evening."
Kim looks back at her husband and, immediately,
all she can hear in her head is Madeline telling her that he knew that Bobby was
her son, not Madeline's. She starts to feel her blood boil.
"No,
you haven't seen me," Kim finally replies to him. "But here we are,
together again."
Tyler arches his eyebrow back to her. "Is everything
okay?"
"No," Kim shakes her head back to him. "Nothing
is okay right now and I don't think it ever will be again."
