Twin Peaks Law Courts

There is a collective audible gasp in the courtroom as a shaking Abby points her finger at Max and announces that he, not Andrew, is the biological father of Olly/Sonny as she is on the stand in the custody battle for the child. Donovan and Lukas look at one another in surprise; when Donovan stole Abby's medical file, they realized that she had a paternity test before their son was born, but they never believed that Max was the biological father. However, as they look at one another, they realize that this will help their case as Abby has been lying to everyone for years.

"No! This…this can't be true!" a stunned Max says as he stands up in horror. "Abby, please tell me that this isn't true?"

"Yea, Abby, what the hell is going on?" Andrew asks as he stands up next to Max. "You…you made me think my child died? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry," Abby says as tears stream down her face. "I'm so sorry…I…I never meant…"

"You never meant for what? To lie to everyone around you?" Josh asks her next. "This is exactly why you're an unfit parent and should never raise that little boy!"

"Order! Order in my court room!" Franklin Ross smashes his mallet down over and over again as everyone starts talking over one another. By the time, he smashes his mallet down for the 5th time, an uneasy silence falls over the crowd. "Everyone be seated and be quiet! I will not have chaos in my courtroom!"

"Mr. Levitt," Franklin looks at the Judge. "Given this most recent revelation, I think it's best that we end this line of questioning."

"Your honor, we have so much more to unpack here," Josh looks back at him, as Abby looks over at Max, Andrew, and then Ethan, all who look horrified back at her. "I need to showcase why this makes her unfit to raise Olly."

"Very well, but don't drag this out," Franklin looks back at him with intent.

Josh looks back at Abby, who takes a sip of water. "I have one more question for you, Ms. Lawson," Josh moves closer to her. "If you lied about your child's paternity, even after death, allowing Andrew Pherson mourn a child that wasn't even his, what else have you lied about? What other secrets do you have? What else are you hiding?"

Robin's Townhouse

"You have no idea how happy you've made me," Robin smiles to Cory as they sit next to one another on the sofa in her townhouse. Earlier in the day, Cory arrived at the townhouse so the two of them could, finally, finish discussing their feelings for one another. Robin, of course, admitted that she never stopped loving Cory, and to her surprise, he admitted the same thing to her. She has been waiting a very long time for him to admit that because she knows that he has been very focused on helping and supporting Penny through her medical crisis.

"Why is that?" Cory smiles back to her. "Because I told you that I loved you?"

"You know that is why," she playfully swats his chest with her hand. "After all this time, we finally know where we stand with one another."

"The truth is," Cory sighs back to her. "I never stopped loving you, Robin. When I was on the farm and I saw that you were engaged to Antonio, it crushed me and I thought that my life belonged with Penny; that is a big part of the reason that I didn't come back right away."

"I know, but that is all behind us now," Robin tells him. "I do have to ask you something though; what does this mean for Penny? I know you're still helping her while she is blind."

"Nothing will change between Penny and I," Cory says back to her. "I will help her, because I still feel responsible for what has happened. Once she is healed though, we can all finally move on with our lives."

"I like that sound of that."

"Me too," Cory says as he leans in and kisses her on her lips. When they part, lust fills their eyes and Robin kisses him more passionately, while unbuttoning his pants. "I want you so badly," he says as his lips move down to her neck.

"Then have me," she moans in pleasure. "Please have me."

Detroit International Airport, Detroit, Michigan

Natasha sits in the airport as she waits for the Calimo private jet to take her back to Twin Peaks. Her mind is racing over the events that took place while she was in Detroit, however. When she first landed, she went to Shane's high school; once there, she saw a picture of Shane that referred to him, again, as Derek Rainer. Shane had told Natasha that the reason his name was Derek Rainer in his yearbook is because it was a typo that the editors didn't catch before it went to print, but that doesn't exactly add up to what she saw at the high school.

Natasha, then, was able to get the Rainer's home address from the computer system at the high school. When she went there, an older man answered the door, but he pushed Natasha away the very moment he heard the name Derek Rainer.

"I am convinced that the man at the house is connected to Derek Rainer," Natasha whispers to herself. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have slammed the door in my face. So, if that is Derek's father, why would he be so upset at hearing his son's name? And if it was Shane's father, Oliver, why would he get upset at the name Derek Rainer?"

Natasha knows that she has more questions then answers from her trip. She hears the call for her private jet to start boarding. "I guess I will have to do more digging to get the answers that I need," she tells herself as she prepares to head back to Twin Peaks.

The Calimo Mansion

Shane looks out of the French doors and peers into the rose garden on the Calimo mansion grounds. He can't help but think about the fact that Natasha told him that she was going on a business trip, but Sophie revealed that the Calimo jet went to Detroit, and she didn't believe that Roboto had any business in the city he grew up in. Shane can't help but wonder why Natasha is truly in Detroit; he thought that he had settled any doubts of the yearbook mishap, but obviously not.

"I have to make sure I put this to rest once and for all," he whispers to himself. "I will not allow this to come to light now; I need Natasha to end this."

"Did you say something?" Sophie asks her step-father as she moves back into the living room, thinking that she heard Shane speak. "Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude."

"It's fine," Shane turns to face Sophie. "I was just thinking out loud, about your mother, actually."

"My Mom? What about her? Is she okay?" Sophie asks him, recalling how Cory's plane crashed when he went on a trip a few years ago.

"She's fine," Shane replies to her quickly. "I didn't mean to worry you. I…I was just curious as to when she was coming home. Do you have any idea?"

"I'm sorry, I don't," Sophie looks back at him. "I don't think she will be gone long though. Why? Shane are you okay? You look a little pale?"

"I'm fine," Shane waves his hand back to her. "I just want my wife home, that's all."

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Bryce moves into the living room of the Victors mansion whistling a happy tune. Frederick, who is at the bar, turns and faces his grandson with an arched eyebrow.

"You seem to be in a good mood today," Frederick chuckles to him, knowing that he sent him to the Pink Flamingo with the knowledge that Isabelle was there. Frederick had seen an article about Isabelle online about her running the casino since Antonio passed; he showed Bryce the picture of Isabelle the article used and suggested that she was the type of woman that Bryce should be with. Frederick set this into motion because the last thing Frederick wants is for Bryce to try to reconcile with Victoria as he firmly believes that Victoria is no good for Bryce. "What is going on?"

"Well," Bryce chuckles back to him as he accepts a scotch from Frederick. "I heard from Simona Lopez; the charges against me in the baby switch, they've been dropped due to lack of evidence."

"Oh that is fantastic news," Frederick toasts him and takes a sip of his drink. "For once, the incompetence of that woman works to our favor!"

Bryce continues to chuckle to him. "Not only that, but I met Isabella Moretti, you know, that woman you showed me the other day?"

"How could I forget?" Frederick asks him. "I am guessing you two hit it off?"

"In more ways than one," Bryce winks back to him.

"Atta boy, Bryce," Frederick pats his shoulder. "See, I knew that you could move on from that barracuda of a wife that you have; all it took is the right woman, Bryce. I'm thrilled for you, I really am."

Dominick's Townhouse

Dominick paces back and forth in the living room of this townhouse as his mind is racing over the fact that earlier Will arrived on his doorstep and dropped a bombshell: Felicia is alive. After he made the announcement, Will got called back to the hospital, so he had to leave, but Dominick can't help but wonder if this news is true.

For over a year, he, and the entire Robertson family, has mourned the loss of Felicia. Dominick, especially, has been rattled by her death the last few months since he was comatose when the news first broke out about her death. The fact that she could be alive, it is a game changer to him.

However, the revelation has left him asking more questions than he has answers. If she is alive, where has been? How did she survive the fire at Raven's Meadow? Does that also mean that Frederick is alive? Why has Felicia not come back to her family?

"If this is true," Dominick whispers to himself. "Then it changes everything; my entire family will be thrilled by this news. I…I have to find out the truth before I say anything. I…I don't want to get anyone hopes up."

"Hopes up about what?" Eva asks her husband as she moves into the living room and drops her purse down on the sofa. "What's going on, Dominick?"

Dominick gulps back to her. "I heard from Leah," he lies to her. "I guess she had a nice run in with Ethan and Bryce, and she was getting her hopes up that maybe the ice was thawing between them."

"Oh, that would be nice."

"It would be," he continues to lie to her. "I just hope we can figure this out, together. This family has been through too much for anything else to happen to us."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Will stands at the nurses' station on the main floor of the hospital. He can't believe that he went to Dominick's and revealed that Felicia is alive. After months of keeping it a secret, against his better judgement, he revealed the truth because he couldn't believe that, once again, Eva used him for sex when her relationship went south with Dominick. He had seen her at the coffeehouse and Eva admitted to him that Dominick told her that he felt like something was missing in their relationship since they reunited. Will used the opportunity to tell her that he still loved her and that this was his time to prove it to her; they ended up kissing and they made love. But after they made love, Eva told him that she still wanted to make her relationship work with Dominick. Frustrated, Will threw her out because he grew tired of Eva using him when she is down with her relationship with Dominick.

Then, Will went to Dominick and revealed that Felicia is alive because he wanted to show Eva that he meant what he said. He has no idea if Dominick believed him or not because before he could explain himself, he got called to the hospital for an emergency.

"Paige," Will says as he sees his other lover move closer to the nurses station. "What…what are you doing here?"

Paige feels her heart start to race as she came to the hospital to get confirmation that she is pregnant. She took a home pregnancy test, which showed that she is carrying Will's baby. Cheresa just confirmed to her that she is pregnant, which is why she is at the hospital.

"Will, uh, hi," Paige replies to him, not sure how she is feeling about the baby she is carrying. "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Will replies to her. "You didn't answer me, what are you doing here? Are you okay? What's going on?" he asks her as Paige gulps again, still unsure if she wants to tell him about the child.

Twin Peaks Law Courts

"I'm not hiding anything else," Abby quickly tells Josh as they face each other in court. "There is nothing else!"

"I wish I could believe you," Josh replies to her in the court. "But the fact that you've liked for years about who fathered your child is. Do I need to remind you that you let Andrew mourn a child that was not his?"

"Enough!" Abby shrieks back to him. "What else do you want from me? What do you need from me?"

"Objection your honor!" Ethan stands up. "The witness is clearly in distress based on Mr. Levitt's questioning!"

"Ahhh!' Abby suddenly shrieks out in pain.

"Ms. Lawson, are you okay?" The Judge looks at her in concern.

Abby looks back at the judge in concern. "My…my water just broke, I'm going into labour!"
