Robertson Enterprises

"Hey Donovan, I have the latest updated designs for RELax," Trenyce announces as she moves into his office and puts down some files on his desk. She looks at her friend and co-worker with an uneasy smile as she hopes that he likes the latest designs that she has come up. While the spring re-launch of the campaign wasn't as successful as the original launch, they are hoping that the fall launch turns that around.

"Thanks a lot," Donovan replies to her. "I'm surprised to see you here."

Trenyce arches her eyebrow back to him. "Why? What has happened?"

"You didn't hear? Andy was arrested for…uh…rape," he reveals to her.

"Oh that," Trenyce shakes her head in disgust. "I did hear about that. I tried to go see him, actually, but they are only letting family and his lawyer see him right now. I told Kim to give him my love. This must be some kind of mistake."

"I couldn't agree more," Donovan tells her. "There is no way that Andy is capable of that. Anyways, I'll take a look at these designs and give you any feedback, if I have any."

"Sounds good," Trenyce replies to him. "Before I go, do you mind if I ask you a question?"

"Uh, sure? What's up?"

"It's about finances, so I don't want to cross any lines, but…in your experience, how often are you getting a raise here?" Trenyce asks him with a slight apprehension.

"You don't think you're making enough money?" Donovan asks her quickly.

"Chris and I, we are in a rough patch and could use more money, that's for sure," Trenyce tells him.

"I mean, I know this will sound bad, but my family has always been very well off, and then I married Lukas, who was also well off," Donovan chuckles to her. "But I think if you talk to Tyler, he should be able to give you a raise, especially if you didn't get one after your last performance review."

Trenyce uneasily nods back to him. "Thanks, I might just do that. If we could keep this between us…"

"Of course, don't say another word. I got you."

The Sugarbowl

Chris sits at the window bar with his own reusable coffee flask in front of him. He wanted to get out of the house but he didn't want to spend any more money as Trenyce told him that they last time they went to the coffeehouse, they ended up in overdraft. He hates that he isn't making more money to help support his family; he knows that he almost had a higher paying job at Roboto, but it came across that he wanted the job for the pay cheque instead of the job itself, which is true, but he hates that he came across that way.

"There must be something I can do," he whispers to himself before he pulls his IPad out of his bag. "Since my contracts aren't coming as quickly as I'd like, I'll look online to see what is out there."

He connects to the Wifi and then goes to the Twin Peaks Sun webpage, where he clicks on the "classifieds" link. He has no idea if anyone still uses this as a way of getting jobs but he is grasping at straws right now.

He arches his eyebrow at one of the ads that he reads. "Interesting," he tells himself. "I might have just found a way to make some more money."

Dominick's Townhouse

Felicia pours herself a cup of tea at the bar in the living room of Dominick's townhouse before she turns around and sees her former husband Eva facing one another. Earlier in the day, they had been together when Ethan revealed that he had divorce papers drawn up, which means she is one step closer to being free of her marriage to Frederick.

She takes a sip of her tea. "I am thrilled that Ethan was able to draw up the divorce papers so quickly," she breaks the silence in the room.

"Yes, that grandson of ours is brilliant," Dominick chuckles back to her. "And I would think that, by now, Frederick has been served."

"I was worried about that," Felicia admits to them as Eva and Dominick look at one another in confusion.

"Why are you worried about that?" Eva asks her quickly. "He was bound to get served when you asked Ethan to draw up the papers?"

"Yes, I know," Felicia tells her quickly. "The fact is, Frederick will not be happy about the divorce. And when he isn't happy or isn't getting his way…"

"He becomes a loose cannon," Dominick finishes her thought.

"Exactly," Felicia sighs to them. "I am worried about what he will do when he finds out that I want to end our marriage."

"Don't worry about a thing," Eva tells her as she grabs Felicia's free hand. "Dominick and I will make sure that Frederick doesn't do anything to hurt you. We have your back, Felicia."

Twin Peaks Police Department

Kim quickly walks through a long hallway in the police department as she is being taken to the holding cells. She raced to the police station after she found out that Andy was arrested; she can't believe that her brother was arrested for rape. She knows that there is no way he is guilty of this accusation because that is not who Andy is. She just hopes that they are able to prove this sooner than later because she doesn't want him in jail.

"Oh Andy, my God, how are you?" she asks as she moves up to his cell.

Andy, who is on his cot, looks up and sees his sister. He forces a smile on his face as he stands up and moves closer to her. "Kim…what…what are you doing here?"

"You didn't think I would let you stay in this place and not come see you?" she asks him quickly. "How are you holding up?"

"Not great," he whispers back to her before he looks over at the guard. "I…I'm going through wicked withdrawal."

"Oh Andy," Kim sighs back to him. "When this is all said and done, I hope this makes you realize that you have to stop drinking. Do you think you can do that?"

"That's the last thing on my mind right now," he admits to her. "Meggan told the cops that I raped Logan; I…I didn't do that, Kim. Tell me you believe me?"

"Of course, I believe you," Kim tells him. "I spoke to Ethan Alexander and he's going to represent you; he told me it's common when someone is accused of rape, because of how serious the charge is, for you to be in jail, but he is working overtime to ensure that you're out soon."

"Thank God," he tells his sister. "I…I don't know how much longer I can handle being in here, Kim. I really don't."

"You're strong," Kim tells him. "You got this and know that I am in your corner."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

Paige lays in a hospital bed with a blanket wrapped around her. After she found a body in the river, she was brought to the hospital to ensure that she is okay. Jeff and Leah are outside talking to the doctor to ensure that nothing is wrong with Paige, but if she is honest with herself, seeing a person floating in the water has shaken her to her very core.

"We have good news," Jeff says as he and Leah open the door to the hospital room and they move inside. "The doctors don't have any reason to keep you here, so you'll be discharged soon."

"I guess that is good news," Paige replies to her parents. "Thanks for being here."

"We wouldn't be anywhere else," Leah tells her as she sits on the side of her bed. "How are you holding up?"

Water floods her eyes. "It's…it's just so weird seeing a person, dead, floating in the water, you know? I…I can't get the image out of my head."

"You're brave that you were able to call 9-1-1," Jeff tells her. "And I get that it is unsettling to find someone like that. I really do."

"Whatever you need, we are here for you," Leah says back to her. "You don't have to go through this alone, Paige."

"I just want a hug," Paige says as Leah pulls her into for an embrace and tear falls down her cheek.

***

Cheresa stands at the nurses station looking over some files. While she is seeing patients again, her mind is still on the fact that Dawn has been in a brainwashed status; however, she used up all of her personal time that she was allowed to take a mini-break from work. She just hopes that Frederick is able to give her some good news soon about her girlfriend.

"Cheresa, I am glad that I ran into you," Frederick announces as he moves up to the nurses station.

"Oh, Frederick," Cheresa turns to face the doctor. "I was just thinking about you. How are things going with Dawn? Have you seen her again?"

"Yes, I have," Frederick nods back to her. "I saw her earlier this morning, actually."

"And? How did it go? Did you make any progress?"

Frederick chuckles back to her. "I am happy to say that I think we had a breakthrough," he reveals to her as Cheresa covers her mouth in shock. "She was talking to me as if nothing had happened at all. I…I think we are over the worst of it."

"Oh my God," Cheresa says as she hugs him quickly. "Thank you, thank you so much!"

"Of course," Frederick tells her. "I think there is still some work to be done, but I think you can tell Adam and Helen the good news."

"Yes, I will," Cheresa beams back to her. "I can't thank you enough!"

Before Frederick can respond, Shane comes up to the nurses station. "Hey, Cheresa," he tells her. "I'm glad that you're here. There's…there's something you should know."

Cheresa arches her eyebrow back to her boss. "What's up?"

"Paige Claus saw a body floating in the river and called 9-1-1," Shane explains to her. "The person was already dead when they arrived here but we just got a positive ID."

"Who was it?" Cheresa asks him quickly.

"Tara," Shane reveals to her as Cheresa gasps back to him. "The woman that kidnapped you is dead."

***

Meanwhile in one of the waiting rooms, Jacob paces back and forth as he waits to hear an update on Cassie. He had been at Roboto when he got a call from Stephanie telling him that there was an accident and Cassie was being taken to the hospital. He has no idea what could have happened but he is worried about his wife, and their unborn child.

"God, this is taking forever," Jacob says as he looks at Stephanie, who is sitting in one of the chairs in the room. "What could be taking so long?"

"The doctor likely is doing a full examine to see all of Cassie's injuries," she explains to him as she stands up to face him. "If they are running any tests, they would wait for the results so they aren't going to give you any misinformation."

"I get all of that," Jacob sighs back to her. "I just want to know that my wife is okay!"

"She will be, I'm sure of it," Stephanie purses her lips together.

"I do have another question," Jacob looks back at her. "Why were you with Cassie when this accident happened? What happened that caused this accident?"

Stephanie nervously sighs back to him. She knows that Cassie saw Jacob and Stephanie kiss and she confronted her. Cassie threatened to expose her and that is when Stephanie stopped her from leaving and a fight broke out. The truth is, Cassie tripped and hit head, which is why she was unconscious.

"Answer me, Stephanie!" Jacob demands. "What the hell happened to my wife? And what did you do to her?"

***

Meanwhile, in Cassie's hospital room, she sits in her bed with a bandage on her forehead. She feels calm now but she knows that she was livid after seeing Jacob and Stephanie share a kiss. She had been warning Stephanie to stay away from her husband by threatening to reveal that she knows that she is a transwoman, so to see them kiss was jarring. She, also, can't believe that Jacob would do this to her; she has no idea what he was thinking, especially since they are going to be parents again.

She looks up when Cheresa opens the door to the hospital room. "How are you feeling?" she asks Cassie.

"I have a slight headache but otherwise I am doing okay," Cassie replies to her. "You certainly ran a lot of tests; how does everything look?"

"You have a slight concussion," Cheresa explains to her. "You hit your head pretty good."

"Explains the headache," Cassie chuckles back to her. "But otherwise, I am feeling good doctor. So, tell me, when can I get out of here? When can I go home?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Cheresa says as she moves closer to the bed. "You have a slight concussion, so you need to be kept here overnight for observations."

"If I must, but tomorrow, I want to go home."

"Cassie," Cheresa looks back at her. "I have more news for you."

Cassie looks back at her in surprise. "What? What is it?"

"There's no easy way to say this," Cheresa tells her. "But you…you lost the baby. I'm so sorry Cassie, but you've suffered a miscarriage," Cheresa reveals as Cassie covers her mouth in horror.
