Twin Peaks International Airport

"I can't believe we are actually doing this!" a giddy Cassie announces to Jacob as they walk through the airport as they are trying to find their gate. The latest Dua Lipa song is playing in the airport, but you can't hear the lyrics over the muffled talking of the various passengers in the space. Earlier in the day, Cassie and Jacob made love, and in the afterglow, she suggested that they elope. To her surprise, Jacob agreed. Luckily enough for them, Carter's nanny was able to keep him overnight, and they booked last minute tickets to Las Vegas so they could get married, but also have an adventure at the same time.

"Neither can I," Jacob chuckles back to her. "But I agree with what you said, the sooner we are married, the better. "We've already lost so much time as it is."

Cassie stops and looks at her lover. "You really want to do this?"

"More than anything else," Jacob leans over and kisses her on her lips. "Are you having second thoughts?"

"Not even one," she chuckles back to him. "Before we go though, I have to ask you something."

"Sure, you can ask me anything."

"Have you thought about your mother's reaction to this?" Cassie asks him, knowing the problems Natasha has caused for them in the past. "I can't imagine how Natasha will feel about this."

"Neither do I, nor do I care," Jacob replies to her. "This is my life, and I want to spend it with you. My mother, she might not be pleased, but she will come around, I am sure of it."

"From your lips…"

"Come on, let's get to our gate," Jacob grabs her hand and they start moving towards their gate.

"Vegas, here we come!" Cassie giggles as they rush away together.

 
 

The River Rock Casino

The door to the main office, which used to be Antonio's, is closed and locked. Isabelle is bent over the desk and behind her, Bryce grunts loudly as he thrusts into her one final time, sending both of them into a climax of ecstasy.

Earlier, they were talking as they had just met, due to a setup by Frederick, which neither one knows about, when Bryce got word that the charges against him had been dropped in the baby switch. This was right after Bryce kissed her, which Victoria saw, in hopes of making her jealous. Wanting to celebrate the fact that he won't go to jail, Bryce suggested that he and Isabelle celebrate, which lead them to come to the office, and they just had sex with one another.

Bryce finds his underwear while Isabelle puts her oversized sweater back on and they look at one another in surprise.

"I…I don't know what to say," Bryce chuckles to her.

"Neither do I," she admits to him. "When you said you wanted to celebrate, I thought you meant a bottle of champagne, or something."

Bryce continues to chuckle to her. "After we kissed, and we admitted we were attracted to one another, I thought this was a better way to celebrate."

"You won't get any complaints from me," she purrs to him. "I needed that, a lot, actually."

"Same with me," Bryce admits to her. "I am really glad we met today, Isabelle."

"Oh my God," she groans. "Is it bad that I slept with you the same day I met you?"

"We are in the same boat, so let's keep it from sinking?" he asks with a laugh.

"Deal," she says as he leans in and kisses him on the lips.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Tinah is fast asleep," Trenyce tells Chris as she pushes the stroller into the waiting room of the hospital. A few minutes earlier, Stephanie performed the DNA test on Chris, Andrew, and Albertinah and she noted that the results shouldn't take that long to come back. Once the test was completed, Andrew went back to the courthouse as he wants to support Abby in her quest to regain custody of Sonny. "I am thinking I am going to wait around here for the test results."

"Makes sense," Chris replies to her quickly. "Why put her in the car only to have to come back, right?"

"Exactly," Trenyce uneasily says back to him. "And I just talked to BJ's nanny, and he is fine too. It's just crazy to think that by the end of the day, or early tomorrow, we will know the truth after all this time."

"We all deserve to know the truth," Chris tells her. "It's long overdue."

"I couldn't agree more," Trenyce locks eyes with him. "If you don't have anything to do, you could, uh, wait with Tinah and me for the results? We could talk or something?"

"I'm not sure what we would talk about, Trey," Chris admits to her. "I am reeling from everything that has happened."

"I know and I'm sorry for everything," Trenyce says back to him. "I just think it's time, it's time we put all of this behind us and get back to us being great again. Let's put us back together, Chris, please? What do you say?"

***

Daisy walks with Andrew towards the elevator of the hospital. She knows that he has to get back to the courthouse, but she has decided to stay around the hospital and wait for the DNA test results.

"I hate that you have to go, but I understand," Daisy as they face one another at the elevator doors. "I hope the custody case goes well."

"Yea, me too," Andrew nods back to her. "It's weird to think that we all might be in that very courtroom sooner than later with Tinah."

"You still think Chris will fight for custody of her?" Daisy asks him.

"I do," Andrew replies to her. "Unless I am the father. Then he doesn't really have a leg to stand on."

"I'm not so sure about that," Daisy tells him. "Because Chris has said that he is the only father that Tinah knows; he thinks that would be a case."

"That's exactly what Donovan and Lukas are trying to say," Andrew shakes his head back to her. "Anyways, keep me posted. I'll try to come back when the results come in."

"Okay, good luck," she says as the elevator doors open. He quickly kisses her cheek and he, then, moves into the elevator. Once the elevator doors close, Daisy sighs heavily. In her mind, Meggan's words about how she will lose Andrew if he is the father keep replaying over and over; and she continues to see Andrew and Trenyce in an embrace earlier in the hospital.

"I can't lose you," she whispers to herself. "I can't."

Detroit, Michigan

Natasha slowly drives her rental car towards the road slide curb and parks the car. She looks out of the window and sees a moderately sized line of houses. She looks again at her phone to get the address correct and then she looks back out of the window at the house she is looking for.

Earlier, she had been at the high school that Shane went too; she came to Detroit because she hasn't been feeling comfortable about the fact that his name was spelt incorrectly in the yearbook, and he snapped at Sophie for finding the yearbook. At the high school, she saw another headline about the football team that referred to Shane as Derek Rainer, which further left her confused. She was talking to the head secretary, and when she left, she was able to track down the Rainer's home address. The profile of Derek Rainer would be years old, so she has no idea if the address is still current, but she thought it was worth a chance.

"Okay," she whispers to herself. "Let's see if the Rainer's still live here, and if they do, what they can tell me about Derek and Shane."

Twin Peaks Executive Hotel

Will and Eva lay next to one another naked in the large bed in his hotel suite with a fresh layer of sweat on their bodies as they just finished making love to one another. Will and Eva had been at the coffeehouse where she admitted that Dominick told her that he felt like something was missing between them; Will professed his love to her and told her he would never make her feel less than. They kissed and, immediately, came back to his suite to make love.

"God, I had missed you," Will chuckles as he turns to Eva and smiles at her. "You're amazing, you know that?"

Eva giggles back to him. "You haven't lost your touch either, Will."

"I'm glad you think so," he winks at her. "It's easy for me to be, uh, motivated around you."

"The thing is," she leans up into the bed and looks at her lover. "I do still love Dominick. I know you wanted to show me how much I mean to you, and you did just that. But I do want my marriage to Dominick work."

Will groans back to her. "Not this again…"

"I'm so sorry," Eva sighs back to him. "I never meant to hurt you."

"I think…damnit! I think you should go!" Will yells in frustration. "I'm so tired of being your scapegoat when your marriage falls apart! I won't…I refuse to do this anymore!"

"I'm so sorry Will," Eva tells him again. "You have to believe me."

"I don't think you know up from down," Will tells her as he crawls out of bed and puts his grey sweatpants on quickly. "Get dressed and get out!"

"Will…"

"Get out!" Will yells at her, as Eva scurries out of bed and starts to collect her clothing.

Twin Peaks Law Courts

"I'm so glad that you came," Lukas says to Clayton as they stand in the hallway of the courthouse. The custody case is currently on a short recess, and Clayton surprised Lukas by coming to support him. "It's nice to see a friendly face."

"I can't imagine how difficult of a morning you've had," Lukas signs back to him. "How is it going in there?"

"It's pretty intense," Lukas admits to him. "Every witness is really getting raked over the coals for any past mistake they ever may have had in their lives."

"Yikes, I am sure glad that I don't have to testify then," Clayton chuckles back to him. "Are you worried about when you testify?"

Lukas shrugs his shoulders. "I mean a little, yea," he tells him. "But the truth is, I know that my love for Olly is strong and will prevail. Nothing will stop me from making sure everyone knows that I love my son."

Clayton pulls Lukas into a hug, just as Donovan and Sergio emerge from the courtroom. Donovan looks over and sees Lukas and Clayton in embrace and turns around from the sight. Sergio arches his eyebrow, wondering if Donovan is upset at the sight. Instead of asking him about it, though, Sergio pulls his lover into a hug to show his support of him during this difficult time.

***

Meanwhile, inside the courtroom, Max comes up to Abby and sits behind her. She turns to face her friend while Ethan is grabbing some water.

"How are you holding up?" Max asks his friend, who can tell that she is visibly shaken from the events so far.

"As well as to be expected," she turns to him. "Both lawyers are being so…intense with their questioning."

"Yea, you can say that again," Max nods back to her. "I heard you're going to be called? Are you sure you should considering how far along you are in your pregnancy?"

"I have too," Abby tells him. "I will do anything and everything to get my son back. I…I thought he was dead! But he was stolen from me, do you have any idea what that's like?"

"Please Abby," Ethan says as he returns to the table and sits next to her. "I need you to try to stay calm, okay? Please, tell me that you will be calm?"

"I will be," Abby nods back to him, as Andrew walks into the courtroom. He moves over to the group and sits next to match. "Andrew, you came back."

"Of course," Andrew nods back to her as he grabs Abby's hand. "We are trying to our son back; I'm here for you, and will do anything I can to help."

"Thanks you guys," Abby smiles back to the group. "I will stay calm, Ethan, but I will do anything I can to get my son back. And having all of you in my corner, it is helping me."
