Twin Peaks General Hospital

Madeline sits behind her desk in her office at the hospital as she is trying to focus on some of the patient's files, but her mind is racing on other things. First, she is still reeling from the fact that Robbie and Kim have announced that they are going to make their marriage work. She is furious that she agreed to let Robbie annul their marriage all those months ago so he could marry Kim on her deathbed because now, she is not going to get her husband back. She did tell Greg that she would love to get revenge on them, but she has no idea how she will do that.

On top of that, she knows that Clayton has seemingly disappeared after the truth came out that he is not a Wilkins. The last time she saw him, she slapped him across the face for his lies. She has tried to reach out to him since, but she has not heard from him. She just hopes that, despite everything that has happened, that is okay.

"Hey, am I interrupting you?" Will asks as he opens the door to her office. He just finished his first therapy session with Dominick and Stephanie and needed to see a familiar friend.

"Not at all, come in," Madeline replies to him as she stands up from her desk. "How have you been?"

Will sighs back to her. "We need to go for drinks and I can fill you in," he chuckles to her. "I was worried about you, though. I know you've been worried about Clayton."

"I have been," she nods back to him. "I still haven't heard from him and I'm starting to get worried about him."

Will arches his eyebrow. "Do you want my honest opinion?"

"Of course."

"I think that Clayton got busted for his lies," Will looks back at her quickly. "And once the truth was revealed, he left town because he was embarrassed. Remember, he wanted to sue you and Andy for your money…when that plot failed, he bolted."

Madeline uneasily gulps back to him. "I…I guess that makes sense," she tells him. "Despite everything that happened, I do hope that he's okay. I just wish he would answer to one of my texts to confirm that he's okay."

"He might one day," Will replies to her. "But for right now, he probably has his tail between his legs, and rightfully so."

The Calimo Mansion

"You look like you're glowing," Andy smiles to Kim as they sit next to one another on the sofa in the Calimo mansion. Andy is thrilled to hear from his sister that she and Robbie have agreed to make their marriage work; in Andy's mind, Kim and Robbie have meant to be together for a long time. "You and Robbie, you made the right decision."

Kim chuckles back to him. "Thanks Andy," she purses her lips together. "Robbie and I, we hate that we hurt Madeline and Greg, but we couldn't deny what is in our hearts."

"As soon as Robbie suggested to me that he marry you last fall, I knew it was what you would have wanted," Andy reveals to her. "So, I am really glad that you two have come to this realization."

"Me too," Kim tells him. "What's going on with you, though? Don't take this the wrong way, but you look exhausted. Is everything okay?"

Andy sighs back to her as he knows that he has been struggling with nightmares since he killed Clayton in self-defense. Of course, he and Nicholas thought that no one would believe them that killing Clayton was an accident, so they buried his body on the ground of the Victors mansion.

"I haven't been sleeping well," Andy reveals to her. "Something is weighing on my mind."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Kim asks him out of concern. "You know that I am here for you if you need me."

"Thanks Kim," Andy tells her. "I appreciate that but I'm afraid that this is something that I'm going to have to figure this out on my own."

The Young Mansion

"How are Dominique and Oscar?" Nicholas asks Robin as they stand next to one another in the living room of the Young mansion.

"Oh, they are wonderful," Robin gushes back to her brother. "You must come see them soon?"

"I'd love that."

"Good," Robin nods back to him. "You're looking a little better than the last time I saw you."

Nicholas chuckles back to her as he knows that when they had breakfast together recently and Robin noted that he looked exhausted, which was because the previous night he and Andy had buried Clayton's body. "I have been trying to get more rest lately."

"That's good to hear," Robin tells him. "If you don't take care of yourself, you're going to burn out, Nicholas."

"You sound like a mother," he winks back to her. "But I appreciate you're concern. I…I am struggling with a situation, which will take care of itself."

Robin arches her eyebrow back to him. "That sounds ominous," she tells him. "I need you to come to me if you need anything, Nicholas. Whatever this situation is, if it's serious, please don't go through it alone."

Nicholas moves up and hugs his sister. "Thanks Robin, you're the best."

The River Rock Casino

Daisy and Andrew move into Andrew's suite at the casino with huge smiles on their faces. They just got back from seeing Lois Kam, who gave them, each, their cheque as a part of their inheritance from Vinny's estate. As soon as they got their cheques, they went to the bank to deposit their money. Because of the amounts on the cheques, the bank told them that there would be a hold on the funds until they clear, which is common practice. While Andrew and Daisy are a little uneasy about the fact that they can't pay off Antonio immediately, they are happy that they can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"We need to celebrate," Daisy turns to him and smiles. "Because in a few days, or weeks, however long the banks hold is, we will be able to pay off Antonio, in total, and leave this place for good!"

"I know," Andrew grins back to her. "You know that this is what we have been waiting for, and I think I have a bottle of champagne in the fridge."

"I would love a glass of champagne," she chuckles back to him, as he moves to the fridge. He pulls out the bottle and pops cork quickly, before he pours two glasses. "Cheers, to getting out of here."

"Cheers," Daisy looks back at him before she takes a sip of her champagne. "I think we should do more than celebrate with the champagne, Andrew."

Andrew looks back at her with surprise. "What's on your mind?"

Daisy moves up to him and kisses him on the lips. They part ways and they look into each other's eyes again. "I think you know what's on my mind," Daisy purrs back to him as she starts to unbutton his shirt.

Andrew grins back at her before he kisses her again. "You don't have to tell me twice," he says as he lips move to her neck and they make their way to the bed.

The Davenport House; Chris & Trenyce's Home

Trenyce opens the front door to the house that she lives in with Chris and her children, BJ and Tinah. Her mind is racing over the fact that when she spoke to Andrew earlier, he suggested that Chris learn about their affair. This came from the fact that Chris overheard Dawn tell her that Cheresa hates lying; Chris asked her what their daughter was lying about, and Trenyce tried to cover, but Chris remained determined to find out the truth. Worried, Trenyce went to Andrew, who stunned her by his thoughts. Then, Trenyce saw Cheresa, who told her that she wouldn't help her fix her imploding life.

"I have to remain calm," she tells her as she throws her purse on the sofa. "There must be something that I can do to prevent Chris from learning the truth; I can't ruin my family that I have worked so hard to build."

"Hey, I thought I heard you come home," Chris says as he moves into the living room. "How was your morning?"

"It was good," Trenyce replies to him as she kisses him on the lips. "I thought you were heading to get some work done?"

"Yea, the nanny is running late, so I thought I'd work from home," Chris informs her quickly. "And, I'm glad that I did."

Trenyce arches her eyebrow back to him. "Why? What's up?"

"It's Tinah," Chris looks back at her with concern on his face. "She has a high fever, Trey. I…I don't know what I can do to bring it down."

Trenyce looks back at him with concern on her face. "A fever? What's her temperature?"

"105."

"What?" Trenyce gasps back to him horror. "I know exactly what we have to do."

"Where are you going?" Chris asks Trenyce, who starts to leave the room.

"I'm going to get our daughter," Trenyce stops at the entry way. "We are going to the hospital."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"Thank you both for coming," Stephanie tells Abby and Eva as they move into her office at the hospital. Both women were summoned by the specialist as she, and Will, just finished their first session with Dominick as they hope to pull him out of his coma. "Will and I just had our first session with Dominick, and I wanted you to both hear how it well."

Eva and Abby uneasily look at one another before they return their attention to Stephanie. Eva is hopeful that Dominick will be able to come out of his coma so they can try to put the pieces of their lives back together. Abby, meanwhile, continues to remain apprehensive about what Dominick will, or won't remember, if he awakes. She knows that she was drugging Dominick to prevent him from remembering that Eva was alive because she was scared that her marriage would be illegal, which turns out was right. Still, he would be furious with her for the lengths she went too.

"How did it go?" Eva finally asks the specialist, which causes Abby to snap back into reality. "Did Dominick wake up?"

"Not yet," Stephanie replies to them. "But this was only our first session."

"So, the session, it went well?" Abby asks her trying not to appear nervous.

"Very well," Stephanie smiles back to them. "I believe that, with a few more sessions, Will and I will bring Dominick out of this coma. I have faith that Dominick will wake up very soon."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"I'm glad that you agreed to meet with me," Tyler tells Ethan as they sit across from one another at the back table in the restaurant. Tyler knows that Ethan has been going through a whirlwind since he learned that Leah and Jeff are his parents; it means that they are more than just friends, they are family as well. "I know you've been put through the ringer with this revelation that you're my nephew."

Ethan picks up his beer and takes a swig of it. "You can say that again," he nods back to him. "It…It just feels like my life has been picked up and turned upside down, you know?"

"I can only imagine," Tyler replies to him. "Just remember that Leah and Jeff, they mean well. Even though I know it seems like they are pressing you, and Bryce, they just want you in their lives."

"I know and I get that, I'm just trying to wrap my head around everything."

Before Tyler can respond, he sees Kim moving into the restaurant. He sees his former lover and realizes that he needs to see her since they are approaching the anniversary of Blake's death. "Hey, can you give me a minute? I see someone that I need to connect with."

"Of course," Ethan tells him before he takes a sip of his beer.

Once Tyler walks away from the table, Leah quickly approaches her son. She had been at another table and saw her brother and son together, but she wanted to give them some space. Once she saw Tyler leave, she realized that she couldn't stop herself from reaching out to Ethan.

"Ethan," Leah says as she sits in the spot where Tyler was. "I was just grabbing some lunch and saw you with Tyler. How have you been?"

Ethan looks back at her and sighs. "I'm…I'm alright. You?"

"I'm good," Leah replies to him. "Look, I know that you want space, and I'm going to give you that."

"Thanks."

"Of course, of course," Leah looks back at him. "But before I leave you, I…I saw you the other day."

Ethan arches his eyebrow back to her. "You saw me?"

"Yea, and you kissed Abigail Lawson," Leah informs him. "Please, do me a favor Ethan? You stay as far away from that woman as possible; she is nothing but trouble and she is the last thing you need in your life."

***

Tyler, meanwhile, moves up to the bar where Kim is waiting for some takeout. After she visited Andy, she came to the restaurant to get some lunch to take back to Roboto as they are still planning the launch party with the collaboration with Rockwell Mining.

"Kim, hey," Tyler announces to her as she turns to him.

"Hi Tyler," Kim replies to him. "It's funny that I ran into you; I've been thinking about you lately."

"You have? Let me guess, because it is the anniversary of Blake's death coming up?" Tyler asks her as she feels her heart sink. "I was hoping we could spend the day together."

"I'd like that very much," Kim nods back to him. "But I was actually thinking of you for another reason."

At the entrance of the restaurant, Madeline appears but she freezes in her tracks when she sees Kim and Tyler standing together. She finds herself watching their encounter unfold in front of her.

"Another reason? Why else have you been thinking about me?"

"I heard about Felicia," Kim replies to him. "I'm so sorry about your Mom. I know how much you loved her."

"I did," Tyler whispers back to her. "I always will, but I appreciate you saying that to me."

"You and I, we've been through hell and back together, Tyler," Kim reminds him. "And I know that you and Robbie haven't always seen eye to eye, but that won't change what we have shared."

"You're certainly right about that," Tyler smiles back to her as he pulls her into a hug. "I appreciate you, Kim."

Madeline arches her eyebrow at the embrace and wonders if something is going on between Kim and Tyler that she could use in her quest to get revenge on Robbie and Kim.
