The Calimo Cabin

Robbie feels the blood drain from his face as he sits on the sofa in the Calimo mansion looking up at Madeline, who just shocked him by saying that Bobby is his child with Kim. His head is racing a million miles per second as he is trying to put these pieces together; he has no idea how or why Madeline would make such a claim. After all, she is the one who returned to Twin Peaks and announced that she had given birth to their child, since they slept together on New Year's Eve. He finds himself standing up and moving closer to Madeline.

"I…I don't think I heard you correctly," Robbie stutters back to her. "Bobby is my son … with Kim?"

More tears flow from Madeline's eyes. For weeks she has been suffering from the guilt of what she has done. In some ways, she feels relief that she has finally told the truth, but she knows that Robbie will still have many more questions.

"Yes," she whispers back to him. "It's like I told you, that night of the crash, I brought Kim back here and…that's when I got the idea."

"You keep saying that you had an idea," Robbie glares back at her. "What fucking idea was this? What the hell are you talking about?"

"I…I stole the baby!" she yells back at him. "I took Kim's baby and have been raising him as ours!"

 
 

The Lawson Estate; Abby, Ethan, Cheresa, & Georgina's Home

Cheresa moves back into the living room of the lavish home that she lives in carrying a tray with some tea and cookies on it. As she sets the tray down on the coffee table she looks over at Dawn's parents, Adam and Helen Black, who surprised her by arriving on her doorstep earlier. She was not expecting them to be in Twin Peaks, but after everything that has happened with Dawn, she can't say that she is shocked now that she has had time to reflect on their presence.

"We are sorry that we didn't call first," Helen looks over at Cheresa, who sits in the armchair across from them. "Once we found out about Dawn, we really didn't want to wait another minute to get back here."

"If anything, we are sorry that we didn't come sooner," Adam sighs back to Cheresa, who pours a cup of tea.

"No, this is my fault," Cheresa says before she takes a sip of her tea. "I should have been keeping you more in the loop with Dawn since we discovered what was going on with her."

"I…I still can't believe that my beautiful baby girl was brainwashed," Helen admits as she gets tears in her eyes. "And to think that she committed all of those horrible acts as a result? My God…"

"None of this was Dawn's fault," Adam tells his wife. "We can't blame her; we only have Tara to blame for all of this."

"Adam is right," Cheresa looks back at Helen. "I have tried to blame myself too for not seeing the signs sooner, but Tara did a number on Dawn. All we can do now is hope and pray that Dawn gets better."

"We…we want to see her," Adam looks back at Cheresa. "We want to see our daughter and the sooner, the better."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"You two are awfully quiet since I told you what Frederick wants in return to help Dawn," Daisy says before she takes a sip of her red wine and looks back over at Leah and Bryce. She had asked them to join her this evening so she could tell them that Frederick wants Felicia to come back to Twin Peaks; if that happens, he would agree to help Dawn with her brainwashing. Daisy knew that she wouldn't be able to accomplish that on her own, which is why she dialed in Leah and Bryce. "What are you thinking?"

"To be honest, I'm in shock," Leah admits back to her half-sister. "The last thing that I was expecting to hear is that Frederick wants Felicia back in Twin Peaks in exchange to help Dawn, but you know what? It all makes sense; Frederick only cares about himself and what serves his needs."

"I have to ask, do you know where Felicia is? I didn't realize that she left town."

"We are aware that she left, yes," Bryce nods back to her before he uneasily looks at his mother.

"We…we needed to get her away from Frederick," Leah reveals to Daisy. "While they were married, none of us believed that Felicia would enter into a marriage with him in her right mind, so we wanted her to get away to see if she would get back to her normal self."

"I see," Daisy tells them. "So, do you think that this is possible? Do you think Felicia could come home so he can help Dawn?"

"Look, I can't make any promises," Leah sighs back to her. "But I will tell you this; I will discuss with my family and get back to you. We all worked very hard to get Felicia away from Frederick, and I won't agree to bringing her back until we are all on the same page."

Daisy nods back to her. "I can accept that," she replies to her. "But please, talk to them soon because the longer we wait, the further Dawn might slip away from us forever."

The Cascade Apartments

"I wanted to come back here so we could have privacy," Max tells Abby as they move into the living room of his small apartment at the Cascades. They had been at the Sugarbowl when Max admitted to Abby that he slept with someone else while he was dating Sophie; he didn't mean to let it slip out, but he can't take it back. He just wishes that Abby wouldn't have been pressing him for so many details. "I don't want anyone, especially Sophie, to know what I just told you."

"That you slept with another woman while you were, technically, still dating her," Abby looks back at him with an arched eyebrow. "I guess I just have one more question…"

"No, Abby, I've said enough," Max puts his hands up in the air. "I…I am done talking about this."

"You can't blame me for being curious about who this woman was," Abby chuckles to him. "A good-looking man like yourself, I mean, any woman would be lucky to be with you."

"Flattery will not work, not this time," he warns her. "I am not telling you anything else."

"Oh come on, Max," Abby pleads with him. "I am not going to tell anyone; we are friends, you can trust me."

"Abby, enough!"

"Max, I can tell that this secret is eating you up inside," Abby ignores his warning. "Just tell me and we can both move on…"

"It was Natasha!" he cracks and yells back at her as Abby gasps in shock. "I…I slept with Sophie's mother! Are you happy now?"

***

Meanwhile, in Cassie and Jacob's apartment, the couple sit next to one another on the sofa as they just had a romantic evening at the Pink Flamingo. Cassie is still on cloud nine that she and Jacob are in such a good place because she had felt under attack from Stephanie. While she knows nothing romantically happened between Stephanie and Jacob, she didn't like how close they were getting, which is why she uncovered a secret about Stephanie and is blackmailing her into staying away from her and her husband.

"Tonight was really amazing," Cassie purrs to him as she leans in and kisses him. "Thank you."

"Of course, babe," Jacob smiles back to her. "I think it was needed after we had our misunderstanding about having another child; you know, a night to show that we are still in love."

Cassie gulps as she knows that she wanted another child but Jacob admitted he didn't think he did want another baby, which upset her. "I will always love you."

"Me too," he kisses her again. "How about we end this night in the bedroom?"

"I'd love that," she purrs back to him. "I am just going to freshen up quickly in the washroom."

"Sounds good, don't keep me waiting," Jacob winks before he heads off to the washroom.

Cassie stands up and moves to the bathroom, where she closes the door. She opens the medicine cabinet and pulls out her birth control pills. She looks at the pills and arches her eyebrow with a sly grin on her face.

"I think I'll skip these tonight," she whispers to herself. "After all, accidents can always happen, right?" she chuckles to herself before she leaves the washroom and quickly rushes towards the bedroom as she is eager to have her husband, and hopefully get pregnant.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Stephanie paces back and forth in her office at the hospital trying to calm her racing heart, which is beating, at what feels like, a million miles per second. She, finally, decided to pull Cassie's medical file in hopes of uncovering a secret that she can use as leverage against Cassie's blackmail; Cassie discovered that Stephanie was born a man, Stefan, and has been threatening to expose her to the hospital and Jacob if she didn't agree to stay away from him. Stephanie was conflicted at the thought of pulling the medical file as it would be a breach of her ethics, but after seeing Cassie and Jacob together earlier, she decided to pull it anyways.

At first, she didn't see anything that was worth using against Cassie. But then, she realized that Cassie had a paternity test completed while she was pregnant with Carter. Ideas, immediately, starting formulating in Stephanie's mind; why would Cassie have had a paternity test done if she knew that Jacob was the father? Furthermore, Stephanie knows that multiple DNA tests were run on Carter once he and Cassie came back to Twin Peaks; had Cassie already known the paternity, she could have altered any of the future tests.

"My God," Stephanie finally stops in her tracks and covers her mouth. "If this is true, it means that Jacob might not be Carter's father; his entire world would be rocked. Can I do this to him? Can I hurt Jacob this way?"

Tyler's Townhouse


Tyler lays down on the large king size bed that is in his bedroom that he shares with Kim. A fresh layer of sweat is on his toned chest as he and Kim just finished having intense sex with one another. He looks over at his wife, who is covering her naked body with the white sheet. As he looks at her, he can't help but, suddenly, be over come with some guilt pains about knowing that her child is alive and well. He hasn't been able to stop thinking about the fact that Madeline confessed that she has been raising Bobby, whom is really Kim and Robbie's baby.

"That was incredible," Kim looks back at her husband. "Thanks for taking my mind off of the entire Andy situation."

"I think we both needed that," Tyler chuckles back to her. "I'm here to help you with that any time you need."

"You're right, we did," Kim tells him. "Have I told you how happy you've made me, Tyler?"

Tyler looks at her and kisses her quickly, trying to hide the pains of guilt that are creeping into his head. He looks at Kim once their lips part ways. "You know I won't let anything, or anyone, ever come between us again."

"That is music to my ears," Kim smiles back to him before she kisses him again on his lips.

The Calimo Cabin

"None of this makes any sense, Madeline!" Robbie yells at her as they continue to face one another in the living room of the cabin. "How the hell did you get Kim's baby? My baby with her…it died in the car accident; Kim had another miscarriage!"

"No," Madeline shakes her head back to him. "You see, I can explain. I can explain it all!"

"Then start talking damnit!"

"Like I said," Madeline takes a deep breath and tries to calm her nerves. "It took all of my strength to get Kim back here to the cabin after the crash. She was still conscious when we arrived, and that's when I got the idea; the idea that I thought would allow you and me to be together forever," she continues as Robbie runs is hand over his face. "Of course, I'm a doctor, so I knew I could help Kim. Once…once I confirmed that her vitals were stable…I took control of the situation."

"How did you do that?" Robbie asks her quickly.

"I…I induced her labour," Madeline tells him as Robbie's eyes open wider in shock. "I delivered her baby and, then, I took him upstairs. He was small, but he was fast asleep. Then, when Kim woke up, I…I told her that her baby was dead. My God, I told her that her baby was dead!"

"This is in-fucking-sane! This is crazy, Madeline!"

"I know," Madeline cries back to him. "But you see, that's why I left town…I…I had to make it seem like I left to have this baby. But my God, the voices in my head have been tormenting me! I've been tortured!"

"You've been tortured? Do you have any idea the pain and suffering that Kim and I have been going through? Because you decided to steal her child? This is crazy Madeline, you…you are crazy!" Robbie yells back at her.

"I'm sorry," Madeline whispers back to him. "I thought I was doing the right thing; I thought that this would bring us together. Please…please tell me you understand?"

"Understand?" Robbie looks back at her. "If this is true, Madeline, if everything you've done me is true, then I never want to see your disgusting face again!"
