Twin Peaks General Hospital
 
Shane
sits behind his desk in the COS' office at the hospital looking over some emails
in inbox. His eyes, however, happen to glance at the picture of him, Natasha,
and Jacob
sitting on his desk. He picks up the picture frame and smiles at the sight as
earlier in the day he and Natasha admitted that they were still in love with one
another. After everything that they went through last year with Shane's past,
he never thought that he and Natasha would be in this position again; but after
Sophie spoke to him right before Christmas, he realized that he did still love
Natasha. He sets the frame back down and looks back at his email, immediately
arching his eyebrow at one of the emails.
He opens the email and gasps
out loud. "What the hell is this?"
He reaches for his phone
and picks him the phone. "Yes, get Will
Coutts into my office now," he demands from the head nurse. "I don't
care what he's doing, this is urgent!"
He slams the phone down and
runs his hands over his face as he still has a hard time comprehending the email
that is on his screen. He realizes that this could really hurt the reputation
of Twin Peaks General Hospital. Within a few minutes, the door to his office opens
and Will appears.
"Hey, I heard you wanted to see me?" Will
asks him quickly moving into the office. "This better be important, I was
just about to take a blood sample from a high-risk pregnant woman."
"This
is very important," Shane stands up from behind his desk. "I've been
notified that you have filed a lawsuit against Paige Claus?"
Will
gulps back to him. He knows that he has filed a lawsuit against Paige in hopes
of preventing her from being able to give their unborn child up for adoption;
in his mind, he wishes that Paige would have consulted with him on the decision
that was best for both of them, instead, she made the decision without his knowledge,
and he has grown to like the idea of being a father to the child.
"That's
right, I have."
"Care to explain what this is all about?"
Shane asks him firmly. "You realize that this could have negative repercussions
on the hospital, don't you?"
"Paige and I were dating,"
Will reveals to him. "And she got pregnant. Around the same time, she ended
our relationship and failed to tell about the baby. Once I found out she was pregnant,
she told me that she was going to give the child up for adoption. I'm…I'm
trying to be a father to my unborn child, Shane. That's all. I want to have a
say in what happens to my child."
"I don't like this, Will,"
Shane admits to him. "The fact is, it is the woman's right to make a decision
about her body. You're…you're trying to take that away from her."
"I'm trying to be a father!" Will protests back to him.
"I
hear you, but if this lawsuit of your has any repercussions against this hospital,
you will have to answer for it, so you've been warned," Shane glares back
at him, hoping that this can be resolved before it gets uglier.
The
Lawson Estate; Abby, Ethan, Cheresa, Dawn, & Georgina's Home
 
Abby
puts a sleeping Georgina back into her playpen before she stands up straight and
watches her daughter sleep for a moment. She can't believe how big Georgina is
getting; after missing the first few years of Olly's life, she doesn't want to
miss a single moment of Georgina's, even though she feels like she already has
because of the time she has spent with Max
and Olly. Still, she is desperate to make up for lost time with Olly, which is
why she has been spending so much time with him.
"Ah, I was hoping
you'd be here so we could have lunch together," Ethan
announces to Abby as he sets his briefcase down on the sofa and moves towards
her. He peers into the playpen and sees his daughter fast asleep. "Looks
like she had a great morning if she's sleeping!"
Abby chuckles back
to him. "Can we whisper please?" she asks him before she kisses him
on the lips. "She's teething I think so she was rather fussy this morning.
I'm hoping the sleep puts her in a better mood."
"I noticed
her cheeks were rather rosy last night and was going to talk to you about it,"
Ethan agrees with her. "I put a teething ring in the freezer thinking the
cold might be soothing on her gums."
"That's where it went!"
Abby says back to him. "I was looking for it. I'm glad you came home for
lunch to tell me that. How was your morning?"
"Interesting,"
Ethan admits to her as he follows Abby to the dining room, where there is a lunch
prepared for them. "Paige stopped by to see me."
"Paige?"
Abby asks in surprise. "What the hell did she want?"
Ethan chuckles
back to her as he knows that there is no blood lost between the two women. "She's
pregnant with Will Coutts child."
"I've heard, what does that
have to do with you?" Abby asks him as she takes a bite of her chicken spinach
salad.
"Well, she's decided to give the child up for adoption,"
Ethan reveals to her. "That didn't sit well with Will, and so, he's suing
her in attempt to stop her from giving the baby up for adoption."
Abby's
eyes open wider in surprise. "Wow, good for him," Abby tells him. "She
should have talked to him about that before she made a decision. But that still
doesn't answer the question: what does this have to do with you?" she asks
before she realizes what it means. "Wait, no, don't tell me, she wants you
to represent her? Oh Ethan, please tell me that you didn't take on this case?"
"I did," Ethan looks back at her as Abby sighs heavily. "And
Abby, I know that you two don't get along, but Paige, she is my sister, and I
think she has the right to make this decision. I think Will is in wrong."
"Do I need to remind you of your history with that woman? Of my history
with her?"
"No, of course not," Ethan calmly responds.
"But this is my career, and my family, so please, for me, understand that
I had to take this case?" he pleads with her as Abby shakes her head, unable
to comprehend how Ethan could help the woman that has tortured her for years.
Twin Peaks Police Station
Cheresa
sits in one of the uncomfortable armchairs in the waiting room of the police station.
She has been waiting for close to twenty minutes to see if she is able to visit
Dawn, who
is still in jail following her arrest after the truth came out that she killed
Tara and attacked Trenyce and Daisy. Of course, Cheresa found out from Tara that
she brainwashed Dawn, which would explain why Dawn acted in the way that she did.
Cheresa knows her girlfriend well enough to know that she would have never had
done any of those horrible events had she not been brainwashed.
"Sorry
for the delay," a male office says as he approaches Cheresa. "We are
short staffed around here because Simona Lopez and her brother went to Mexico
for a vacation."
"It's all good," Cheresa stands up from
the chair and looks back at him. "So, can I see Dawn Black? She was in cell
405."
"Yea, I see that," the officer responds to her. "Simona
must not have called you to let you know, but Dawn Black, she's not here anymore."
Cheresa feels the blood drain from her face learning that Dawn isn't in jail
anymore. "What…what do you mean she's not here? Where is she? Where
is Dawn?"
"Given her health status, Simona had her moved to
a special ward at Twin Peaks General Hospital," he reveals to Cheresa. "It
looks like your girlfriend is in the mental ward."
The Sugarbowl
 
Daisy
looks over some papers that are in front of her as she sits in the back booth
of the coffeehouse. For a while now, she has been contemplating her future and
she thinks that she has finally figured out what that is. For too long, she has
been wrapped up in trying to make her relationship with Andrew
work, which resulted in her switching Tinah's paternity test the previous year.
That is not something she normally would do, and the result was that her entire
family was in turmoil. Andrew still hasn't forgiven her and has moved out of their
condo that they bought together. She hopes that this will be the start of a new
chapter for her.
She looks up and sees Andrew moving into the coffeehouse.
After he orders his drink, he happens to make eye contact with Daisy, and so,
she gestures for him to join her after he gets his drink.
"What's
all this?" Andrew asks her as he sits across from her. "It looks like
you want to take some courses or something?"
"That's exactly
what it is," Daisy looks back at him. "I…I've been trying to decide
what I want my future to look like, and I think I have found it, Andrew."
"You want to become a lawyer?" Andrew asks her as he looks at the
forms on the table.
"I do," she nods back to him. "With
my history in the city council, I already have a lot of the courses; I just have
to complete 5 courses and I could practice law."
"Wow,"
Andrew looks back at her in surprise. "I…I wasn't expecting this at
all."
Daisy chuckles back to him. "I wasn't either, but once
I realized how close I was to finishing the degree, I thought 'why not?'. The
truth is, after last year, I really realize that I have to get back to myself,
and this is a great way to do it. And the best part is, I can take these courses
online and work at my own pace."
"That's really awesome to hear,
Daisy," Andrew says to her. "This will be a good change for you, I believe
that."
"I hope so," Daisy looks back at him. "Does
this mean that, maybe, you and I could work on us again? You could move back into
the condo and we could repair our relationship?"
Andrew sighs back
to her. "I'm sorry Daisy, but I am not ready for that yet. I'm…I'm still
working through the fact that you tried to keep my daughter from me. That will
take time."
"I understand," Daisy feels her heartbreak
in her chest. "Just know that I still care and am waiting for you, Andrew."
The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino
 
Sophie
gulps heavily as Max sits across from her at her table in the restaurant. Just
a few moments ago, Max arrived at her table and suggested that they talk, which
Sophie agreed too. Sophie, however, knows that the conversation will not go well
because she is still reeling from the fact that Max and Natasha slept together;
she has no idea if the affair is still going on, but in her mind, she doesn't
care.
"I suppose you're right, we do have a few things to talk about,"
Sophie finally breaks the silence between them as Max looks back at her. "Do
you want to start?"
"Uh, sure," Max uneasily nods back
to her. "The truth is, Soph, I've been really upset since I learned that
you lost a baby because we both know that I wasn't the father."
"I
know," Sophie tells him quickly. "I can explain that, Max. Logan,
he was the father of my child. He and I, we were day drinking one day, and the
sex, it just happened. I never meant to hurt you that way, you have to believe
me."
"I do believe you," Max forces a smile on his face.
"It doesn't change the fact that I am upset by the news though."
"Of course," Sophie puts her head down, suddenly feeling ashamed
for her actions. "You were so busy with the trial and Olly; I felt very alone
in our relationship. I know that's not an excuse, but it's how I felt."
"I was fighting for my son," Max tells her. "And thank God
I did, because he is at home with me, where he should be. Is there anything you
want to get off your chest?"
Sophie looks back at him and wonders
if she should say anything about knowing that he slept with Natasha. Immediately,
however, she realizes that if she does want to get revenge on her mother, she
has to keep the affair to herself, at least for now.
"Soph?"
Max asks her, causing her to snap back into reality. "Was there anything
you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Uh, yea," Sophie looks
back at him. "I…I think we should break up, Max. I…I've been thinking
about this and I just don't think we are in the same place anymore. You have Olly,
and that really should be your focus."
Max nervously chuckles back
to her. "You don't have to justify that to me," he admits to her. "I…I
was thinking the same thing, actually."
"You were?"
"Yea, I was," Max admits to her. "You're a great girl, Sophie,
you really are, but we are in very different places in our lives. For the record,
if I ever did anything to hurt you, I am sorry."
Sophie feels her
eyes swell with water. "I'm sorry too, I really I am, Max."
The
Cascade Apartments; Cassie, Jacob, & Carter's Home
 
In the large king-size bed in the primary bedroom, Cassie
and Jacob lay next to one another with a fresh layer of sweat on their naked bodies.
They just finished having sex with one another and now are trying to catch their
breathes.
"You know, one of the perks of Carter going to daycare
is we can have this time together," Cassie chuckles to her lover before she
rolls over to face him and runs her hand over his muscular chest. She is on cloud
nine that her marriage to Jacob is back on track, and she is determined to ensure
that nothing come between them again. "I needed you, Jacob."
"I
know, I needed that too," he chuckles back to her. "One thing that we
don't have to worry about is our chemistry, Cassie. We have that nailed down pat."
"That we do," Cassie lays her head on his chest. "You know,
I've been thinking about something Jacob. We…we are happy, aren't we?"
"Of course, we are happy," Jacob pats her head with his hand. "You,
me, and Carter, we are a family."
"I love that we are,"
Cassie looks back into his eyes. "But that's just thing, Jacob. I'm…I'm
not getting any younger."
Jacob arches his eyebrow back to her. "What
are you getting at? You know your age doesn't bother me."
"No,
it's not that," she replies to him quickly. "It's just…if we wanted
to have another baby, we should do it sooner than later."
Jacob's
eyes open wider in shock. "You want to have another baby?"
"I
do," Cassie nods back to him. "I want to give Carter a little baby brother
or sister, Jacob. What do you say? Do you want to have another baby with me?"
Twin Peaks General Hospital
Stephanie
sits behind her desk at the hospital trying to focus on the patient files that
are in front of her. As she reads the latest report on one of her patients, she
finds the words on the page start to blur as she is unable to focus on the document.
She finally sets the file down and lets out a loud groan in frustration.
She
can't help but remember that Cassie has discovered her secret: she was born a
man, but she transitioned years earlier. She knows that she has been living her
life as a woman for years now, but it is something that she hasn't shared with
many people, including her employer. Cassie is using the secret to blackmail her
into staying away from Jacob, so she has ended her friendship with Jacob, which
has caused her heartache as she enjoyed getting to know Jacob. If she is honest
with herself, she knows that she was having a crush on him, so maybe the separation
will be good for her because the last thing she wanted to do was come between
his marriage, even though she wants him away from Cassie now that she has seen
her true colors.
"Right before Christmas, I told myself that if I
could find a secret from Cassie's past, I could use it to counter her blackmail,"
she whispers to herself as she taps her chin with her finger. "But how could
I uncover a secret from Cassie's past? How am I going to do this?"
She
stands up from her chair and moves to the small bar in her office, where she pours
herself a glass of water and takes a sip of it quickly. "What could I do
to find out what you're hiding Cassie? I know a woman like you must have skeletons
in her closet, and I refuse to let you control me and my life. Oh no, I will stop
you Cassie, even if it's the last thing I do."
