The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Cory moves into the restaurant hoping to get a glass of wine before he heads back to the penthouse. He was with Robin earlier, and he revealed to her that Penny's vision has returned and that she has decided to return to her farm because Cory told her that he is in love with Robin. Robin, like Cory, was stunned by Penny's admission and decision, but also wondered when, and how, her vision came back. Cory admitted he didn't know the details, but he, too, wondered the same things as Robin.

As he moves to a table, he happens to see Penny sitting at the bar with a glass of wine in front of her. He moves up to his former lover and sits next to her. "Fancy meeting you here," he chuckles to Penny. "I was just thinking about you."

"Good thoughts, I hope?" Penny looks back at him before she takes a sip of her wine.

"I was thinking," Cory replies to her quickly. "About your vision coming back."

"It is a blessing," Penny says back to him with a smile. "After months of not being able to see, my vision has returned."

"When did this happen? How did it happen?" Cory asks her. "You only told me about this when I said it wasn't going to be easy for you to be on the farm."

"It all happened very quickly," Penny sighs to him, knowing that she doesn't want to tell him the truth about how long she has been able to see. The truth is, the night she and Cory made love, her vision came back, but she kept it from him, hoping that she could still get him back from Robin. "You told me about your feelings for Robin, and when I went back to my room, my sight…it…well, it just came back. I'm not sure how or why, but I am not complaining."

"I am happy that it came back too," Cory says. "I…that I hurt you when I told you about Robin, but Penny…I…I hope we can still be friends?"

"In time," Penny whispers back to him. "I need to get back to my farm and heal my own heart before I can think of that Cory, I really need the time and space to get over you."

At a table at the back of the restaurant, Trenyce and Andrew sit next to one another while Tinah is coloring in her book with some crayons. Andrew had stopped by the Davenport home earlier to see his daughter, but she ended up crying out for Chris. To calm her down, Trenyce suggested that they come to the restaurant as her daughter loves the chicken nuggets.

"This was a nice idea Trey," Andrew smiles at her. "I know that this entire situation has been confusing for all of us, but I appreciate you letting me see our daughter."

"I would still love to know how that DNA test got it so wrong," Trenyce sighs back to him. "Chris and I, we were led to believe that Tinah was our daughter…"

"I know, it is very weird," Andrew agrees with her. "But the most important thing is that the truth is out now and we can all try to move forward."

Just then, the waiter arrives with Tinah's order of food. Trenyce moves her coloring book out of the way, and Tinah starts to tackle the chicken nuggets.

"Wow, you really love those, huh?" Andrew chuckles over to her.

"They are shaped like dinosaurs!" the little girl holds up one of the nuggets that is shaped like a t-rex.

"Yes, I can see that," Andrew continues to chuckle at her. "You are eating a dinosaur!"

At the entrance of the restaurant, Chris stands watching the scene unfold. He hates that Andrew and Tinah are bonding; the sight makes his blood boil. He turns and rushes out, needing to breathe some fresh air.

Bar Code

Clayton looks back at Lukas in surprise as they face one another in the bar. Lukas just admitted to him that he and Donovan slept together in the middle of the custody case that they were in with Olly; their lawyer had just gotten Abby to admit that Max, not Andrew, is Olly's biological father on the witness stand. Lukas and Donovan were so thrilled with the outcome, they ended up sleeping together. Lukas wanted to tell Clayton the truth because he had asked Lukas to leave town with him.

"You're not saying anything," Lukas nervously chuckles to him. "Do you think we can get past this? Does me sleeping with my soon-to-be-ex-husband change your mind about us leaving town together?"

"I have to admit that I am surprised by this," Clayton tells him before he picks up his beer and takes a sip of it. "You and Donovan, huh?"

"It only happened the one time," Lukas admits to him. "We got caught up in a successful moment of the trial."

"Did it bring back any feelings for you, or for Donovan?"

"Donovan and I have been through a lot together," Lukas continues to explain to him. "But if you're asking if Donovan and I are going to be getting back together, the answer is no. Our marriage is over and it has been for a very long time."

"I…I believe you," Clayton tells him. "And to be fair, you and I, we weren't really together, officially, when this happened."

"I am glad you feel that way because I think you and I could have something really incredible together."

"I feel that way too," Clayton says. "So, the answer to your question is, no, this doesn't change my mind. I think we should still leave town together, if you are still interested in leaving with me."

The Calimo Mansion

"Oh, Natasha was throwing a dinner party," Robbie explains to Kim as they continue to face one another in the living room of the Calimo mansion. Robbie was just getting a drink before Natasha's dinner, when Kim came into living room and asked him what was going on; it is the first time the former spouses have seen one another since Madeline returned to town and revealed that she gave birth to Robbie's son, Bobby. "You're welcome to join, if you'd like."

"No, no," Kim waves her hand in the air with a chuckle. "I would hate to interrupt; especially since I am not really family anymore."

"You will always be family," Robbie tells her quickly. "I hope you know that."

"What I know," Kim replies to him quickly. "Is that you're a father now, and Madeline is living with you."

"Yes, she is. How did you find out about this?"

"Madeline told me," Kim reveals to him. "We ran into one another and she told me."

"I am sorry that I didn't get to tell you," Robbie sighs back to her. "I know that this must have come as a shock to you."

"This entire situation hasn't been easy," Kim admits to him. "But Robbie, I am happy for you; I…I know you've wanted to be a father for a long time, and that's not something I could give you."

"We tried," Robbie says, as Kim lets a tear fall down her cheek. "Lord knows we tried."

Meanwhile upstairs, Natasha opens the door to her bedroom that she shares with Shane and moves inside. Just a short time ago, Shane stormed away from her dinner party because he is still furious with her for bringing Louie back to their lives. Natasha thought the dinner party would be a way to try to bridge the gap between her broken family, but it did not go as planned.

"You left so quickly, you didn't even finish your dinner," Natasha says as she spots Shane coming out of the washroom, only wearing some grey sweatpants. She realizes that he must have wanted to change out of his clothes as soon as he could, because he looks like he is ready for bed.

"I lost my appetite," he admits to her before he moves to the bed. "I don't think you realize how I am feeling about Louie coming back into my life."

"I know that you and your father are estranged, and I know that you blame me for bringing him back into our lives," Natasha sighs heavily back to him. "But the truth is, all I wanted was to understand what happened. Louie, he does have a lot of anger in his heart still, we can see that, but I think…"

Shane looks at Natasha with intent. "You think what? Oh God, Natasha, what are you coming up with now?"

"I just think that if you two talk, you might be able to find some kind of resolution," Natasha tells him. "After all, you're still family."

"That son of a bitch threw me in jail!" Shane reminds her with a shout. "There is no resolution with him; he wants me to pay for something I didn't do! He wants me to pay for killing my mother which was an accident!"

"So that's it? You're just going to give up on your father, on me, on us because I brought him back?" Natasha asks him. "I don't think that's fair, Shane."

"Maybe you should spend the night in jail for a crime you didn't commit," Shane spits back at her. "And see how you'd feel about embracing the person that had you arrested. I'm exhausted, I'm tired of talking about this tonight."

"Okay, I love you, Shane," Natasha tells him with intent. "Don't forget that, okay? I am here for you, no matter what you need from me in this."

Twin Peaks Executive Hotel

Nicholas storms of the elevator on the fourteenth floor of the Twin Peaks Executive Hotel and makes a beeline towards the penthouse suite. He starts banging on the door knowing that it is his mother's room.

Melissa emerges in a baby blue suite and gets a smile on her face at the sight of her son. "Oh, my darling, please come in," she welcomes him into the room.

Nicholas huffs back at her as he moves into he foyer and folds his arms over his chest. "Save the pleasantries, this isn't going to be a social visit."

"Can I get you a drink? Some champagne, perhaps?"

"No!" Nicholas yells back at her. "I don't want any champagne! There is only one thing that I need from you."

"Tell me what you need from me," Melissa replies to him. "You know that I would do anything for you, my darling."

"Leave Twin Peaks," Nicholas glares back at her. "Get on your broom, fly out of this city, and don't you ever come back, because I never want to see you again!"

"Nicholas…"

"NO!" he shouts back at her. "Get out of my life! And stay out of it! We are over! Do you hear me? We are OVER!"

The Sugarbowl


Andy moves into the coffeehouse looking to grab another coffee as he knows it will be a long night at the Twin Peaks Sun as his article for the morning edition isn't completed yet. After he orders his coffee, he happens to look at the back booth and sees Jarrod sitting alone. He, still, can't believe that Nicholas' former partner is alive; the entire time he has known, and been in love with Nicholas, they believed that Jarrod had died; the fact that Melissa brought him into stop their wedding is truly shocking to them.

"Jarrod," Andy says as he approaches the back booth and sits across from him. "I am Andy Spinnes, we…we haven't formally met."

"You were with Nicholas when I came back?" Jarrod looks up from his phone as Andy nods back to him. "It is nice to meet you, officially."

"Thanks," Andy uneasily smiles back to him. "I hope you know that your return has really rattled Nicholas; he thought he would never see you again."

"I know," Jarrod signs back to him. "I might not have handled this the best, I know that. The truth is, I never wanted Nicholas to go through the long road to, what I thought, was my death. I thought I was sparring him some pain."

"You might have thought that, but he is in a world of pain right now. And confusion."

"Can I ask you something?" Jarrod asks him as they lock eyes with one another. "What is your relationship with Nicholas? Are you two close?"

"Yes, we are," Andy nods back to him. "What Melissa brought you into, it was supposed to be a wedding. Nicholas and I were going to be married."

Jarrod feels the blood drain from his face. "Oh," Jarrod says back to him. "Melissa, she never told me about that."

"Because she used you to stop the wedding, she has never wanted us together."

"Now that I am back," Jarrod gulps back to him. "Where does that you leave you and Nicholas? And what does Nicholas think about being back? Does he want us to get back together?"

"I wish I knew," Andy tells him quickly. "But I don't think that Nicholas even has those answers, at least not yet. But I will tell you one thing, I will not let go of my fiancé, not without a fight."
