The Calimo Cabin Sophie
looks out of the front window of the Calimo cabin and sighs as she sees snowflakes
starting to fall from the sky. There is already a large amount of snow on the
ground, so the last thing she wants is for more snow. And, she knows that it might
be more difficult to get home, or for the text message Meggan
sent to Logan to go through. She had hoped to use the time at the cabin to tell
him that she is pregnant with his baby.
"It is snowing again,"
she tells Meggan as she turns around to face the woman that will be her child's
grandmother.
"I guess that means my message to Logan
might be even more delayed," Meggan sighs back to her. "Do you want
me to keep the fire going?"
"I think that's a good idea,"
Sophie nods back to her. "Do you want me to pop outside and get some more
firewood so it is dry by the time we need it?"
"Yea, that sounds
great," Megagn replies to her. "I'll put another log on now."
Sophie moves to the door and grabs her jacket, which is hanging on the hook
next to her. She zips herself up and then leaves the cabin. She doesn't have to
go far, as there is more wood logs on the porch. Thankfully, it is covered, but
being outside, the wood is still damp from the snow. She grabs five logs and moves
back to the door.
Once she's inside, she freezes when she sees Meggan
pouring herself a glass of wine at the bar. "What what are you doing?"
"I'm having a drink," Meggan looks back at her with a sly grin on
her face. "Do you want one?"
Sophie shakes her head no as she
sets the wood down by the fireplace. "No I I didn't realize there
was alcohol at the cabin?"
"Have you seen your mother? She always
has a drink in her hand," Meggan chuckles to her. "I'm teasing. There
is some alcohol here, but I brought my own. It's fine, Sophie. It's snowing, we
aren't going anywhere, we might as well pass the time with a drink, right?"
Sophie hates the scene unfolding; the entire reason she hasn't been able to
tell Logan that she is pregnant is because he has been drinking. When she agreed
to come to the cabin, she never thought that Meggan would bring her own alcohol,
but she realizes that it makes sense since she is an alcoholic, but she still
doesn't like it; not one little bit.
Dominick's Townhouse Frederick
storms up to the front door of Dominick's
townhouse and starts banging his fist on the door. He is furious that Felicia
is missing from the Victors mansion, and he is sure that Dominick had something
to do with it.
"Dominick!" he yells as he continues to pound
his fist on the door. "Dominick! I am not leaving here until you open this
damn door!"
After he went to check on Felicia the previous night,
Frederick realized that she was not in her bedroom. He searched the entire mansion,
and the grounds, but she was no where to be found. At that moment, Frederick realized
that Dominick must be behind the disappearance of his wife.
"Dominick!"
he yells again, before he tries to turn the door handle, and to his surprise,
it's unlocked. He moves inside and rushes into the living room, but there is no
one inside. "Where are you, you son of a bitch?"
"Hello?
Who is here?" a voice calls out at the front door. Frederick and sees Bryce
moving into the living room. "Frederick? What what are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing," Frederick glares back at him.
"I'm looking for Dominick! Where is he?"
"I I'm not
sure," Bryce replies to him. "I I got a message from him asking
me to come lock up because he had to leave quickly. Why? What is going on?"
"That son of a bitch has my wife!" Frederick yells at him. "So
you have to tell me where he is, and you have to tell me right now!"
The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino Daisy
and Andrew's
engagement party is still in full swing at the party as friends and family of
the couple circle and enjoy food and beverages provided by the restaurant. At
the bar, Jacob
looks over and sees Stephanie
approaching him with a glass of champagne in her hand.
"Don't you
look dashing tonight," she purses her lips together as she comes up to him.
Jacob chuckles back to her. "Well, thanks, you look beautiful yourself,"
he replies to her.
"Thanks. Is Cassie
here? Should I be worried about talking to you?"
Jacob chuckles back
to her. "She is here, yes," he nods back to her. "And no, I told
her she was out of line when she threatened you."
"You did?"
Stephanie asks him in surprise. "How did she take that?"
"She
wasn't happy, but I think she will be fine now," Jacob tells her. "I
told her that I can be friends with whomever I want."
Stephanie smiles
back to him. "I appreciate you defending our friendship," she tells
him as they hug quickly.
Just then, Cassie comes up to them and clears
her throat. "Hi Cassie," Stephanie tells him. "I'll give you two
some privacy, but enjoy the party."
"See you soon Steph,"
Jacob waves to her before he looks back at Cassie, who is clearly annoyed.
"I " Cassie shakes her head back to him. "I can't believe
that woman!"
"Cassie, just relax, like I told you, we are just
friends, nothing more."
"It better stay that way, or that woman
will answer to me," Cassie looks back at Jacob with intent.
*** "I saw the latest reports and designs about the upcoming launch, and
I have to admit, everything is looking really great," Tyler
smiles to Jeff
and Victoria
as they are huddled in a corner talking about the project of the luxurious bath
line that Jeff and Victoria have been working on at Robertson Enterprises.
"Thanks," Victoria smiles back to him. "Jeff and I, we've really
enjoyed putting this together. I I think it will be a bit hit."
"And we can't wait to see the reaction from the public," Jeff chimes
in. "Because this is so different for the company."
"I
have to admit, I was skeptical about you two working together," Tyler chuckles
to them. "But the two of you, you are a dream team."
Jeff and
Victoria look at each other and try to hide the chemistry between them. The truth
is, they have been sleeping together for weeks now, and they, still, can't get
enough of one another.
"The launch is almost ready," Victoria
tells Tyler. "We should have a meeting to finalize the details and then prepare
for the company to skyrocket."
"I'll drink to that," Tyler
toasts their glasses before he takes a sip of his champagne.
*** Robbie
grabs another glass of champagne and happens to see Victoria, Jeff, and Tyler
talking. He arches his eyebrow as he takes a sip of his drink, wondering if they
are planning something at Robertson Enterprises; he knows that if they are, Roboto
will have to be prepared to counter them.
He finishes his champagne and
sets the glass down. After the events that transpired at the New Year's Eve party,
where he got drunk and slept with Madeline,
the last thing he wants to do is over consume champagne again.
"Not
having another champagne?" Kim
asks him as she moves up to her former husband.
"Nope," Robbie
shakes his head back to her. "Trying to learn from past mistakes."
"That's commendable," Kim looks back at him. "Don't beat yourself
up too much, Robbie. You have the beautiful son to be thankful for."
Robbie smiles back to her. "I don't know how you do that," he admits
to her. "You're clearly hurt by Madeline having my child, and yet you are
happy for me at the same time."
Kim feels her eyes swell with water.
"I know how long you've wanted to be a father, that's why I am happy for
you. You do deserve this."
She moves her hand up to her eye
to prevent a tear from falling down, which Robbie gasps back to her. "What's
this?" he asks her as he looks at her large diamond ring on her finger.
"Oh," Kim looks back at him. "Tyler and I we are engaged.
We are going to be married," she reveals to him as, suddenly, Robbie craves
another glass of champagne.
*** Max
peers into the crowded room before he takes a sip of his champagne. His mind is
racing over the fact that he and Abby,
recently, discussed the idea of contacting Lukas
and Donovan
to help Olly with the adjustment of learning that he and Abby are his biological
parents. Shortly after, Lukas arrived and said goodbye to Olly, as he left town.
Max, still, wonders if he should reach out to Donovan.
As he takes another
sip of his of champagne, he happens to see Donovan standing on the other side
of the restaurant. He finds himself moving over to Donovan.
"Good
evening," Max says as Donovan looks back at him, seeing Max for the first
time since he took Olly out of the Richardson estate. "Enjoying the party?"
"I suppose I am," Donovan looks back at him. "How is my son?"
"That's kind of why I am here," Max admits to him. "I I
know me taking Olly out of the mansion with the help of the police was extreme "
"It was," Donovan agrees with him. "But, it was going to happen
sooner than later. I've I've been trying to give you space with him, but,
my God, I miss him."
"I get it," Max replies to him. "And
he misses you too. The fact is, Olly, he is having a hard time adjusting to all
of this."
"I can't imagine," Donovan shakes his head back
to him. "Lukas and I, we are the only parents he has ever known."
"That's why I'm here," Max reveals to him. "I I was hoping
you'd stop by my place, so you could see Olly, and, uh, maybe, help him with these
changes and adjustments. What do you say, Donovan? Will you come by and talk to
Olly? Will you help him?"
*** Robin
and Cory
are slowly dancing on the dance floor while a romantic song is playing. Cory leans
back and looks into Robin's eyes before he leans in and kisses her softly on the
lips. When they part, the song stops, and they move to the side, each grabbing
another glass of champagne.
"This is nice," Robin tells him
as they take a sip of their champagne. "Just us getting reconnected, you
know?"
Cory chuckles back to her. "I couldn't agree more,"
he tells her.
"I am curious about something," Robin admits to
him. "Have you heard from Penny
since she went back to her farm?"
"Only that she arrived and
is safe," Cory tells her. "But she wanted space to get over everything
that happened, and I have to respect that. She knows she can reach out to me when
she is ready too."
"That's nice of you," Robin nods back
to him. "You know, when I went to say goodbye to Penny, she said something
to me, something that I haven't been able to forget."
Cory arches
his eyebrow back to her. "What did she say?"
"She said,"
Robin begins to tell him. "That she is grateful that you two had one final
night together. What what did she mean by that Cory? What was Penny talking
about?" she asks him as Cory gulps heavily back to Robin.
*** Nicholas
peers into the busy restaurant, which is still filled with family and friends
enjoying the engagement party. He finishes his champagne and then sets the glass
down on the bar.
"I need to get out of here," he tells himself.
After everything that has happened the last few weeks with Melissa
stopping his wedding to Andy
by revealing that Jarrod,
the man Nicholas believed was dead, is alive and well. He wants to go home, take
a warm bath, and just try to relax, since he is high strung. "I still need
to figure out what to do about Jarrod."
As he packs his belongings,
he recalls how Andy told him that he ran into Jarrod, who was asking how close
Andy and Nicholas had become. Nicholas wonders if Jarrod still has feelings for
him, despite faking his death for years.
"I don't care," he
tells himself. "I want to go home and try to put this behind me."
As he turns to leave, he freezes when he sees Jarrod moving into the restaurant,
as he didn't realize that it was closed for a private junction.
"Nicholas,"
Jarrod says as he moves up to him. "Hey can we can we talk?"
*** Chris
stumbles up to a waiter and grabs another glass of champagne, and he quickly drinks
it down. He's clearly had enough of the bubbly beverages, but he is trying to
numb the shock of what he thinks he has figured out. He goes to set his empty
glass down on a tray, but he stumbles again, and the tray of glass shatters to
the ground, causing the crowd to gasp out in shock.
Daisy, Andrew, and
Trenyce
rush over to him in concern. "Chris, are you okay?" Daisy asks her ex-husband
as she helps him up.
"I'm fine!" Chris yells back at her before
he looks at his family. "This is all a fucking mess! This entire Albertinah
situation is a mess!"
"We know," Trenyce tries to tell
him, as the rest of the party goer's start to come around.
"You know
what I don't understand?" Chris stutters his words to his family, feeling
the effects of his alcohol. "How that DNA test said I was the father of Tinah.
Do you have any idea, Andrew? Or Daisy?"
"Why would we know?"
Andrew asks him in confusion. "It must have been a medical mix up?"
"Really? A mix up? Do you really think Stephanie would allow a mix up,
because I sure as hell don't!"
"What are you saying Chris?"
Trenyce asks him in confusion. "What do you think happened?"
Chris
looks at Daisy with intent. "Daisy," he looks at her. "Did you
change the paternity test results? Did you want everyone to think that I was Tinah's
father?" he asks her as Daisy feels the blood drain from her face.
Next

Daisy confess to her part in the DNA test? - Where are Dominick, Eva, &
