Dominick's Townhouse

"I am pleased with your health," Stephanie purses her lips together as she stands in the living room of Dominick's townhouse. She came by to ensure that Dominick was still doing well; she knows that she pulled him out of his coma the year before and she wants to ensure that he is not having any setbacks. "Please just try to not get too stressed and everything will be fine."

"Thank you so much doctor," Dominick smiles back to her. "I appreciate you making this house call."

"Of course, I'll see myself out," Stephanie turns to leave the living room, allowing Dominick to turn to face his family, who are still reeling from his revelation that Felicia is alive and well.

"It was nice that Stephanie made the house call today," Leah looks back at her father. "Now that she is gone though, we can finish the conversation about Felicia being alive."

"We haven't been able to stop thinking about your news," Tyler admits to Dominick. "Mom is alive? Is that really true?"

"Eva and Will have confirmed it," Dominick nods to his children. "Felicia is alive."

"Then I have a question," Tyler sighs back to him. "Where is Mom? Where has she been all this time? And how do we get her home?"

The Tower's; The Penthouse; Cory's Home

"I am going to grab a gin and tonic, can I bring you anything?" Cory asks Penny, who is sitting on the sofa in the penthouse with a simple book in front of her as she is practicing reading brail, which she has been studying since she lost her vision.

"Maybe just some sparkling water," Penny replies to him. "By the way, while you were visiting Sophie, Robin stopped by. I…I had no idea that she also went through a period of time when she was blinded."

"It is true," Cory moves back to the sofa and sits next to her as he sets her sparkling water down on the table in front of her. "There was an explosion at the lab and she was blinded. But she kept the faith and her sight came back. It just took some time."

"That's what she was telling me," Penny nods back to her. "It…it was nice to hear from someone that went through this that their vision came back. Robin…she's a sweet woman."

"Yea, she really is," Cory smiles back to her before he takes a sip of his drink. "I'm glad that you and Robin are getting closer, she's a great friend."

"I see why," Penny looks back at him. "You and I, we were more than just friends at the farm, Cory. And…if I'm honest, I kind of miss that. Just because I'm blind doesn't mean that I don't miss being close to you."

Cory sighs back to her knowing that he and Robin made love recently; he still has Penny in his home because he feels responsible for her being blind in the first place.

"I…I don't know what to say," Cory admits to her.

Penny reaches out and finds Cory's leg before she uses her hand finds his face. She, then, leans in and kisses him on the lips. "You don't have to say anything," she whispers as their lips part. "Just know that I'm here and I miss you."

The Davenport House; Trenyce, BJ, & Albertinah's Home

"Thanks for letting me spend some time with the kids today," Chris tells Trenyce as he moves into living room of the house that he and Trenyce shared for years. He has moved out though because he is still coming to terms with the fact that she slept with Andrew behind his back; however, the recent paternity test confirmed that he fathered Albertinah, which is grateful for since he can't imagine not being with the child he thought was his daughter.

"Of course," Trenyce looks back at him. "They miss you as much as you miss them."

"Yea, I get that sense," Chris sighs back to her. "We've been through so much, haven't we?"

"We have," Trenyce chuckles back to him. "But, it is like I said Chris, I think everything happens for a reason; the paternity test, it was a sign."

"I know that is what you believe," Chris replies to her. "I am just glad it turned out this way; I…I can't imagine not being Tinah's father, she means the world to me."

"She adores you, Chris," Trenyce moves closer to him. "The same way that I do. I know that I've caused you a world of pain, but you being Tinah's father, it just makes me think that we were always meant to be this way, Chris."

"I am relieved."

"I know you are," Trenyce nods to him. "But this is our time, Chris. It's time we put back together this family. The kids, they want you here all the time, the same way that I do. So, I'm going to ask you: do you think that you can give our marriage another chance? Do you think that we can put our marriage, and our family, back together?"

The Tower's; Floor Ten; Andrew & Daisy's Condo

"I can't believe we were able to close the deal on this condo so quickly," Daisy grins over to Andrew as they stand in the sparsely decorated condo that they just purchased. Daisy had suggested to him that they, finally, move out of the casino since they still had some money left over from Vinny's inheritance. Daisy thought, especially, that it would help Andrew have a new place to live to help him get over the fact that he isn't Albertinah, or Sonny's, father. Deep down, however, Daisy knows that she switched the paternity test to ensure that she didn't lose Andrew; she thought that if Andrew knew he was Albertinah's father, he would reunite with Trenyce.

"The timing was amazing," Andrew chuckles to her. "But Daisy, this place is amazing. We can really make it our own! I'm so excited!"

Daisy moves closer to him and wraps her hands around his waist. "I haven't seen you this happy in some time. I guess my suggestion to get out of the casino was a good one?"

"It was the best idea," Andrew grins back to her. "I didn't realize how much I dreaded that place until we signed the paperwork buying this place. We are finally out of that casino and away from all the hell that Antonio put us through, Daisy."

"And with everything going on with Tinah and Sonny, you deserve to have some good news in your life right now," Daisy tells him.

"You're not wrong," Andrew looks back into her eyes. "Thanks for helping arrange this, Daisy. I needed it more than I realized."

"I would do anything for you," Daisy says as she leans in and kisses him on the lips. "I hope you know that."

"I know," he says as their lips part. "How about we break this place in properly?"

"What are you suggesting?" Daisy giggles back to him. "The kitchen counter?"

He lifts her into his muscular arms and sets her down on the counter as he removes her underwear from under her skirt. "You read my mind," he says as she lays down and Andrew hikes up her skirt, eager to have her in every way possible.

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Jacob moves into the restaurant looking to grab some takeout that he ordered for himself and Cassie. He wants to tell her about the fact that he told his family that they are married; while Sophie was happy for him, he knows that Natasha and Shane were not pleased with the news.

As he moves closer to the bar, he can't help but see Isabelle behind the counter doing some inventory. "I thought the owner of the casino had people to help at the bar," he chuckles to her as she looks and sees her former husband.

"I needed some information on the inventory for some reporting," Isabelle tells him as she moves up to him. "Can I get you a drink started?"

"Nah, I'm just here to get some takeout," he reveals to her. "But I don't mind the company while I wait for my order."

Isabelle purses her lips together. "It has been a while since we connected; how are things?"

"I actually have some news, and I want you to hear it from me."

Isabelle arches her eyebrow back to him. "Alright, what is going on with you?"

"It's about Cassie," he looks back into her eyes. "We eloped in Las Vegas; we are married."

"Oh," Isabelle gulps heavily back to him. "I was not expecting that news today. I suppose congratulations are in order."

"Thanks," Jacob smiles back to her. "This is why I wanted you to hear this from me, I know that this might be a complicated situation for you to navigate."

"I'm fine," Isabelle waves her hand back to him. "I'm also moving on; I had a great time with another guy recently."

"I'm happy to hear that, because all I want is for you to be happy."

"Thanks Jacob, and congratulations again," Isabelle looks back at him. "I'll go see why your order is taking so long."

Isabelle makes a beeline for the kitchen, leaving Jacob alone at the bar. Stephanie, who is sitting a few seats away from him, looks over at him and remembers how they met at the bar a weeks earlier. Stephanie came to the restaurant to get a drink after her visit with Dominick and she can't help but continue to find Jacob very attractive.

"We meet again at this bar," Stephanie chuckles to him, as Jacob looks over at her. "Jacob, right?"

"Good memory," he moves next to her and sits down. "Stephanie?"

"You win," she chuckles again. "I couldn't help but overhear; congratulations on your wedding."

"Oh, thank you," Jacob replies to her. "Cassie, she's a great woman. I'm very lucky."

"She is also a lucky woman," Stephanie says before regretting the comment immediately."

Jacob's cheeks flush. "That' sweet of you, but you don't know me well enough to make that call."

"I don't have to know you to see that you're a good-looking man," Stephanie winks back to him. "So, I stand by declaration; your new wife is a very lucky woman."

"Shucks, well thanks Stephanie," Jacob nods back to her. "You're good for a guys ego."

The Richardson Estate; Meggan, Lukas, Donovan, Logan, & Olly's Home

"Was that Clayton I heard just leaving?" Donovan asks Lukas, who is moving into the living room of the Richardson estate. Earlier, Donovan was with Sergio and Lukas was with Clayton as they were updating the men on the custody case. At first, Donovan was going to use the time to tell Sergio that he and Lukas had sex, but he decided against it because he didn't want to create more drama than what they are currently going through why they are fighting to keep Olly.

"Yea, he stopped by to hear how the trial was going," Lukas replies to him quickly before he moves to the bar to make himself a drink. "How did it go with Sergio?"

"Oh fine," Donovan sighs back to him. "And before you ask, no, I didn't tell him that you and I slept together last night."

"I see," Lukas looks back at him with intent. "I can't say that I am upset by that decision; we have enough going on right now for the detective to be upset with us."

"That was my train of thought as well," Donovan agrees with Lukas. "I think we can both agree that we got caught up in the moment of having some success in court, but us having sex, it didn't mean anything else. It was just sex, right?"

Lukas finds himself nodding quickly. "It was just sex," he replies. "Really good sex, but yea, just sex."

"Good then we agree," Donovan says back to him. "What happened will stay between us and no one else ever has to know."

The Sugarbowl

Max sits in the back booth of the coffeehouse with a latte in front of him. His mind is racing over the fact that Abby has lied to him, and everyone, for years about him being Sonny's biological father. He can't believe that Abby would tell everyone that Andrew was the father, even after she thought the child died when she gave birth. The fact that Abby would allow Andrew to mourn his child is sick to Max. Now, he is reeling from the fact that he is a father to a boy that he doesn't even know.

"That's why I need to get you," he whispers to himself as he looks at a picture of Sonny on his phone. "I've missed too much time with you already, I won't go another day without you."

He arches his eyebrow when he sees Lois Kam's caller ID on his phone screen. He quickly answers the call. "Max Black speaking," he says into the phone. "Ms. Kam, yes, thank you for getting back to me. You'll take my case? That's perfect, thank you, thank you so much."

Detroit, Michigan

Natasha takes a deep breath before she walks up to the front door of the Rainer house. She is back in Detroit, desperate to get more information from the owner of the house about Derek Rainer, whose name was listed under Shane's picture in his high school yearbook. When she was here a few days earlier, he closed the door in her face when he heard the name Derek Rainer. When she got back home, Shane had discovered that she was in Detroit, and he made her promise not to go digging into his past. She agreed, but she still had so many questions that she needed answers too, so she has come back.

The older man opens the door after Natasha rings the doorbell. "You're back," he glares at her through the screen door. "I don't have anything to say to you."

"Please," Natasha pleads with him. "This man," she says as she holds her phone up, showing him a picture of Shane. "I'm engaged to him, and I need to know why his name shows as Derek Rainer in his yearbook, but that's not the name that he goes by now. Can you…please…help me?"

"That man in the picture," the man replies to her. "His name is Derek Rainer. You're engaged to Derek," he says as Natasha feels the blood drain from her face.

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I…I don't believe any of this," a stunned Dawn admits to Cheresa as they face one another in the cafeteria of the hospital as they are both on a quick break from their shifts. Cheresa, however, just told her girlfriend that when she went to Chantel's apartment, it was in shambles, and she found blood. She called the police, and Simona suspects that Chantel might have been killed. "Someone broke into Chantel's apartment and killed her?"

"It's wild," Cheresa nods back to her. "That is what Simona suspects happened based on what she observed at the apartment."

"I don't know what to say," Dawn admits to her. "Why would anyone want to kill Chantel?"

Cheresa shrugs back to her. "Simona said that it might have been a break-in that went terribly wrong."

"Again though, why would anyone break into Chantel's apartment? It's not like she is incredibly wealthy? Something about this isn't making sense."

"My head is spinning," Cheresa reveals to her. "I…I have no idea what to make of any of this."

Before Dawn can respond, she hears her cell phone chime with a new incoming message. She looks at her screen and feels the blood drain from her face. "My God," Dawn whispers. "It's … it's another message."

"What?" Cheresa gasps in horror as Dawn shows her the screen. "Should I let you squirm before killing you or finish you off quickly?"

"Dawn, this is getting out of hand," Cheresa shrieks. "We have to call the police."

"If Chanel is behind these messages," Dawn looks back at her with intent. "Then this proves that she is alive and well."

"Something very strange, and dangerous, is going on here, and we have to figure it out before someone gets hurt," Cheresa tells her as she realizes that this situation is getting out of hand.

Dominick's Townhouse

"Do you have a plan of attack, Dad?" Robin asks her father as she stands next to Leah and Tyler in the living room of Dominick's townhouse still. They are curious as to how they will find Felicia and bring her back into their lives if she is alive.

"Eva informed me that Frederick is also alive," Dominick reminds his family. "That son of a bitch has a nasty history of faking his death when it suites his needs."

"That is very true," Tyler tells the family. "When we first found out that Felicia and Frederick died in the fire at Raven's Meadow, I went to the Victors mansion and looked around, trying to find some clues of either of them being alive."

"You did? You never told us that," Leah looks at him in surprise.

"No, I didn't," Tyler replies to her. "I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up that Mom was alive. But, I never did find any proof that Frederick of Felicia alive."

"Now that we know that they are alive," Dominick says. "I think we should all go to the Victors mansion and find Frederick and Felicia; it's the only logical place that he would have been hiding all this time."

"So we will go to the mansion together?" Leah asks her family as everyone nods back to her. "Let's go find Felicia and bring her home, where she belongs."
