Dominick's Townhouse

Abby feels the blood drain from her face as Eva emerges from behind Bryce, Victoria and Will, who summoned the Robertson's together. Leah, Jeff, Robin and Paige are equally as stunned to see Eva standing in front of them as everyone believed that Eva was killed by the Rose Peddler killer; the fact that she is standing there is truly stunning.

"This can't be happening," Abby whispers to herself as she thinks about how she learned that Eva was alive months ago and Frederick convinced her to drug Dominick so he wouldn't be able to remember that his wife was alive because if Eva came back Abby's marriage would be invalid as Dominick and Eva never finalized their divorce. "After everything I did to make sure this didn't happen…"

"Yes, I am alive," Eva announces to the group with a smile on her face. "For months, I had no memory of what happened or my past, but once I was reunited with Victoria, my memory came flooding back to me. I remember, I remember everything."

"So, where have you been all this time?" Leah asks her in shock, still.

"At the Victors mansion," Eva replies to her quickly. "Frederick was keeping me there; despite all the horrible things he has done, he did save my life. He…he used me to try to get Felicia back."

"Felicia? What does our mother have to do this with this?" Tyler asks her next, wondering how Felicia is being roped into this.

"It's a long story," Eva admits to him. "Needless to say, Frederick created this…mask, I guess, for me to wear," Eva explains to them. "When I put the mask on, I looked like Barbara Mills."

"My God," Paige gasps back to her. "So, the entire time that we thought Felicia was losing her mind again when she told us she was seeing Barbara, it was true? She was seeing you pretending to be Barbara?"

"That's correct," Eva nods back to them. "You see, Frederick told me that if I pretended to be Barbara to get Felicia into his life again, he would help me regain my memories, so I went along with this."

"My mother is as much of a victim in all of this as anyone," Victoria chimes into the group. "When I found out that she was alive, Frederick, he trapped us together, drugged us and left us in a padded cell at Raven's Meadow."

"My father is truly a horrible human being," Leah shakes her head in disgust.

"This is insane," Abby finally speaks, as she feels like her head is spinning. "This is like something out of a movie!"

"We finally escaped the hospital, but we took some of Frederick's files when we left," Victoria explains to everyone. "And that's what we have to tell you all. We learned some shocking information and you all need to know."

"More shocking than Eva being alive?" Robin asks in surprise, as Victoria looks over at Bryce, who nods back to Robin. "Well alright, what is it?"

"It's about Leah and Jeff's children," Bryce whispers as he moves closer and looks at Leah and Jeff. "We…we know where your children are," he announces as Leah and Jeff look at one another in surprise.

The Tower's, Floor One; Andy's Condo

"Madeline was gutted when we told her about Clayton's schemes," Andy tells Nicholas as he moves into the living room of his condo with some iced tea for him and his former fiancé. He recalls how they were just at the hospital and they told Madeline that Melissa has claimed that Clayton isn't really a Wilkins and that Clayton has filed a lawsuit that would stripe Andy and Madeline of all of their money because of a clause Clayton has in Olivia and Preston's will. "I don't think she can handle much more right now."

"She's dealing with a lot," Nicholas replies to him as Andy sits next to him on the sofa. "Kim being shot and Robbie leaving her to remarry her is crazy, and now this madness with Clayton; a person can only take so much."

"I know," Andy says before he takes a sip of his iced tea. "I just hope she doesn't crack."

"She's a strong woman," Nicholas tells him. "We just have to be there for her."

"And we have to prove that Clayton is lying about who he is," Andy replies to him. "Do you have any idea when you will get that DNA test back?"

"No, I don't," Nicholas admits to him. "But I won't let Clayton get away with this. I will stop him, even if it's the last thing I do."

Andy smirks over to him. "My hero," he winks back to him. "I am sorry I was so harsh on you after learning you married Clayton. I should have known that something was going on…"

"It's not your fault," Nicholas tells him. "Clayton's scheme was good, now we just have to end it once and for all."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Greg moves down the hallway of the hospital towards Kim's room when he sees Robbie standing outside of her door. He looks at Robbie for a moment and wonders what he is thinking and feeling about Kim's situation. He still hates that Robbie annulled his marriage to Madeline and married Kim as they believe that she is going to die any day now; he just hopes that somehow, Kim starts to get better and recovers, even though that doesn't seem likely.

"How is she?" Greg asks as he approaches Robbie, who looks back at him.

"About the same," Robbie replies to him quickly. "I was with her and she opened her eyes for a few minutes. She didn't say much."

"She needs her rest," Greg reminds him. "The more she sleeps, the more her body will heal."

"I hate this," Robbie admits to him. "I know that we haven't always seen eye to eye Greg, but we can agree that this is a really shitty situation."

"I just wish that there was something that I could do, we could do, to make her better."

"You know what I want?" Robbie asks him as they lock eyes. "I want to find the son of a bitch that did this to Kim and make them pay!"

Greg nods back to him. "I guess I haven't had the chance to tell you the latest," he tells Robbie. "Simona has the person responsible in custody."

"What?" Robbie gasps back to him. "Who was it? Who did this to Kim?"

"It's a long story," Greg sighs back to him. "But it was Tara; the woman that kidnapped Cheresa last year shot Kim."

Robbie feels the blood drain from his face at the thought of Tara shooting Kim; he, immediately, feels responsible for everything that has happened since he was the one who brought Tara into their lives.

"This…this is all my fault," Robbie says as he covers his mouth in horror. "If Kim dies, it is my fault."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"Ugh, so, you're telling me that even if we fly private, we won't be able to get to Mexico until after the holidays?" Lukas sighs as he sits at a table in the restaurant across from Donovan. He is on the phone with the airport hoping to get a flight to Puerta Vallarta, as Antonio has told them that he had a lead on Jasper and Olly possibly being there. However, he is learning that it is not possible to go as soon as possible. "Yes, fine, I'll call back as soon the holidays are over."

He slams his phone down on the table and looks over at Donovan with frustration on his face. "Well, did they say why we can't leave until after Christmas?" Donovan asks his husband before he takes a sip of the wine that is in front of him.

"There is a big hurricane heading towards Puerto Vallarta," Lukas sighs back to him. "There are no flights in or out until it passes."

"A hurricane? Well, damnit, what if Olly is there? Will he be safe?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Lukas hisses back to his husband. "We just have to hope that Jasper is taking care of Olly; I mean, he always treated him well when he was the nanny."

"I hate this!" Donovan admits to him. "We finally have a lead on Olly and we can't even take action on it!"

"Do you know what I think?" Lukas looks over at him. "I can't help but still think that this is all your fault. This is all because of your damn need for revenge."

"Oh God, not this," Donovan spits back to him. "Need I remind you that you fucked our nanny behind my back? You started this, Lukas! You started it but you've always been so selfish you have never thought you were in the wrong. You're so gross."

"You really feel that way?"

"Yea, I do."

"Good," Lukas says as he pulls out some papers from his pocket. "I had these drawn up. I think you know that, no matter what happens with Olly, we are over."

Donovan opens the papers and then looks back at Lukas in surprise. "Divorce papers?"

"This shame of a marriage is over," Lukas looks back at him. "Don't delay in signing those, I don't see us working this out."

***

Meanwhile, Isabelle stands in Antonio's office pouring a glass of water from the bar. She takes a sip while she listens to Antonio finishing up his conversation that is unfolding on his telephone. She puts her hand on her stomach as she recalls how she told Jacob that she is pregnant with his baby; she had only found out earlier in the day as she was late with her period. She told her husband about the baby because she had hoped that it would make him realize that they should be together and stay married, since he has been conflicted about his future since the truth about Natasha's scheme came to light. Now, she wonders if she should tell her father that she is pregnant or wait to see what Jacob does.

"Sorry that took so long my beauty," Antonio says as he hangs up the phone and stands up from his desk. "There's always a fire or two to put out when you run a casino."

"It's okay, Daddy, I was just lost in thought anyways."

"Care to share anything about those thoughts?" Antonio asks her quickly. "I am assuming it has to do with Natasha Calimo faking her illness, which is what set into motion Jacob asking you to marry him?"

"How did you know?" she chuckles back to him.

"Lucky guess? I can only imagine what you and Jacob are going through now."

"His head is spinning," she admits to her father. "He doesn't know what he wants right now."

"Well, he should want you," Antonio tells his daughter. "You are a beautiful woman; why he is confused is beyond me."

Isabelle smiles back to him. "You have to say that, I'm your daughter. A part of me does get why he's conflicted but…oh Daddy, this is such a mess."

"Come here my love," Antonio pulls Isabelle into a hug and holds her for a moment. "Everything will work out, you will see."

"I hope so Daddy," she cries into his shoulder. "I really hope so."

The Calimo Mansion

"I am so sorry that Sophie came to your office," Natasha tells Shane as she pours two glasses of red wine at the bar in the living room of the Calimo mansion while the large Christmas tree twinkles next to her. Shane just finished telling Natasha about how earlier in the day Sophie visited him at the hospital and blasted him for proposing to Natasha. "She is grieving the loss of her father and she is dealing with my lie. This on top of how she got kicked out of boarding school; she's just going through a lot right now."

Shane accepts the glass of wine that Natasha passes him. "I know, and I tried to stay calm, I just wanted you to know."

"Thanks for telling me," Natasha takes a sip of her wine. "To be honest, both Sophie and Jacob are furious with me for the lie we came up with; I don't know how or when they will ever forgive me."

"The holidays' are right around the corner," Shane reminds her. "Maybe they will come around because of the season."

"From your lips…"

"Speaking of lips," he leans over and kisses her on the lips as she chuckles back to him.

They part ways from their kiss when they hear someone clear their throat as they move into the living room. They look over and see Jacob standing in front of them.

"Darling, hi," Natasha stands up and looks at her son. "How are you? Do you want a glass of wine?"

"No, I don't," he snaps back to her. "I need to be clear headed to try to figure out what I am going to do next."

"You're going to stay married to Isabelle, that's what you're going to do," Natasha tells him as Shane stands up next to Natasha.

"No, you don't get to do that!" Jacob yells back at his mother. "You don't get to tell me what I'm going to do with my life, Mom! This mess, this entire is because you two came up with this disgusting plan!"

"Jacob…" Shane starts to protest to his son.

"No Dad, save it! You to deserve each other, you know?" Jacob groans back to them. "You two can just relish in whatever it is you're doing but leave me the hell out of it!"

Dominick's Townhouse

"You found out something about our children?" Jeff asks Bryce back quickly as they continue to stand in the living room of Dominick's townhouse. He squeezes Leah's hand as they can't help but wonder if they learned something about their long lost son. "What did you find out exactly?"

"Well, like Victoria said, she and Eva took some of Frederick's files when they left Raven's Meadow," Bryce replies to them. "And we were reading them, in hopes of learning something."

"What did you learn? Please, don't keep us waiting," Leah pleads with him.

"The file said," Bryce looks at her. "That your long-lost son's name is Ethan Alexander."

"What?" Paige asks in shock and horror as she realizes that she has married her brother. "That … that can't be true! That's impossible!"

"There's more," Bryce tells Jeff and Leah. "The file…it…it said that my real name is something different. It's not Bryce."

Leah looks at him with an arched eyebrow. "What's your name Bryce?" she asks as her voice cracks, wondering where this is going.

"Noah," he whispers back to her. "My name is Noah."

Leah looks at Jeff in shock before she crumbles to the ground, fainting at the news that her dead son is actually alive and well and in front of her.

"Leah!" Jeff bends down and starts to check to see if she is okay. "Leah, can you hear me? Leah?"!
