Scene One - The Black House; Adam, Helen & Dawn's Home

"I'm not some child that you can just drag home because you feel like it," Dawn protests to Adam as they front door opens and they move into the house. Dawn recalls how she was at the Pampa Grill and she saw Natasha; the two started to have heated words when Adam emerged and announced that he had overheard Dawn admit that she was blackmailing Natasha into silence about the night she fell down the stairs. Dawn has been trying to think of a way to make sure that Adam doesn't actually learn the truth; she has no idea how her parents will react to the truth that she actually pushed Natasha down the stairs and was blackmailing her for months.

"Well, I thought coming home would be a better place to have the conversation then in a public restaurant, don't you agree?" Adam asks her he points his finger, indicating for her to move into the living room.

Dawn rolls her eyes and moves into living room. Helen and Barbara stand up from the sofa and look at Dawn, then Adam and then Natasha who also moves into the living room. "What on earth is going on here?" Barbara asks them. "Why would you invite that woman into this house after everything she has done?"

"Because, Barbara," Adam quickly starts to defend himself. "I overheard Dawn admit to Natasha that she was blackmailing her. I'd like to know the entire story about what is happening here."

Helen gets a look of shock on her face. "Dawn, is that true? Were you blackmailing Natasha?"

"Oh my God," Dawn groans as she towards the bar and pours herself a drink.

"Are you drinking young lady?" Barbara asks her granddaughter shocked.

"Yes! And just try to stop me," Dawn barks back at her.

"That's enough Dawn," Helen tells her. "You won't speak to your Grandmother with that tone. Now, what's this about blackmail?"

"I know I'm the last person you want to see or hear," Natasha speaks up. "But it's true. Dawn was blackmailing me, she had been since the night of the accident."

Dawn turns around and glares at Natasha. "Shut up, you bitch!"

"Dawn!" Helen yells back at her daughter, floored by Dawn's language. "What is this all about?"

"She knew that I was pregnant when I came over here that night," Natasha continues to tell everyone. "I didn't fall down the stairs … she pushed me!"

Helen and Adam's mouths open in shock as they look back to Dawn, who casually takes a sip of her vodka while glaring at Natasha, all the while trying to think a way out of this mess.

Scene Two - Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I can't believe this is happening," Tyler tells Kim as they stand in the waiting room of the hospital. Kim has just explained to Tyler that Bob has no memory of the last year of his life due to the stroke he suffered. As a result, she has to pretend to be the loving wife because if she doesn't, it could setback his recovery. "Just as we agree to be together, this has to happen? It doesn't seem fair."

"I know," Kim replies to him as she moves closer to him and grabs his hands. "But it's not forever, Tyler. It is just until Bob's memory comes back. Once he's strong enough to remember, he won't want to be married to me anyways."

"How can you even stand to be in the same room as him after everything he put you through?" Tyler asks her, still frustrated with the entire situation. He knows all of the horrid things Bob did to Kim in the last year.

Kim shrugs her shoulders. "I guess because deep down I know how Bob operates. He thinks everything he does is for his family. I understand that."

"I don't like this Kim, I don't like this one bit!" he yells in frustration.

"I wish there was another way Tyler, I really do, but the sooner this starts the sooner his memory will come back and we can move on with our lives," she says as she comes up to him. "And's that our lives as in together."

He looks back at her and smiles as she moves in and kisses him. "I know this isn't ideal but I'm telling you, it won't be forever."

Tyler nods back to her. "Okay, okay," he replies. "Let's just hope Bob's memory returns sooner rather than later."

Before she can respond, Craig arrives in the waiting room. "Mrs. Calimo," he says breaking up the moment between Kim and Tyler. "Your husband is ready to be discharged."

***

Paige opens the door to Shane's office and moves inside quickly. She looks around and sees the empty office, which doesn't surprise her. She knows that Shane has been taking it easy since his car accident. Still, she wishes he was working today; she could use the friendly face. She feels like her life is spinning out of control with so much going on. First, she overheard Robbie tell Victoria that he was working with Dominick to get some kind of revenge on Bob and that is partly what caused Bob's stroke; then, she overheard Victoria tell Donovan that she was the one who told Jeff to sue Robbie for half of Leah's estate; and, to make matters worse, Jeff has decided to propose to Meggan. In the midst of all this craziness, Paige has taken to working a lot more than usual because it's an escape for her; the fact that she has a crush on her boss, doesn't hurt either. And, she has decided to take Dawn's advice and try to make a pass at Shane. Dawn is right, Paige tells herself, now is the perfect time because Shane is hurting over the fact that Natasha had an affair with Adam.

She turns around when she hears Shane's office door open. "Oh, Shane," she says seeing her boss standing in the doorway. "I didn't think you were coming in this evening. I was just about to put these files away."

Shane smiles at the sight of his assistance and closes his office door as he moves inside. "I wasn't going to come in but I was just sitting at home and thinking. It's best that I'm actually doing something, don't you think?"

Paige nods back to him. "What were you thinking about?"

Shane sighs and comes up to her. "It's nothing I want to worry you about, Paige."

"It's about Adam and Natasha, isn't it?" she asks him before she can realize what she is asking him. "I'm sorry," she quickly tells him. "I didn't mean too but I'm good friends with Dawn and…"

"It's fine," he tells her. "I'm sure almost the entire town knows by now. And yes, that was what I was thinking about."

Paige puts her files down on his desk and then moves up to him. "I'm really sorry," she says looking into his eyes. She reaches out and grabs his hand. "If there's anything I can do, I hope you know you can count on me. I'm here for you, Shane. I mean, Dr. Glubbs."

Shane looks down at their hands touching each other and then smiles back as he looks into her eyes. "Thanks, Paige. That is appreciated. And for the record, you can call me Shane. I don't mind at all."

Paige blushes a little. "Okay, Shane it is."

Scene Three - The Pampa Grill

Jeff walks with Meggan to their table holding her hand. He's wearing a tuxedo and she's in a black sparkling dress because he had informed her that they were going to have a special night out together. They sit at their table and the waiter brings over the best bottle of sparkling cider that they have.

Jeff holds up a glass and looks over at Meggan with a smile on his face, despite many butterflies in his stomach. He knows that tonight has to go perfectly well. "I wanted us to have this romantic evening because I wanted to show you how much you mean to me," he tells her. "And how much I have grown to love you."

Meggan feels her cheeks redden with blush as she raises her glass to him. "To us and a night you'll never forget," he finishes before they toast and have a drink of the cider.

"That was really lovely," she smiles back to him. "Are you sure you don't want some champagne for yourself? Just because I don't drink…"

"Absolutely not," Jeff replies to her. "This is about us and I support you in every way. I know that you're in recovery and I don't need champagne to celebrate with you."

Meggan arches her eyebrow a little. "Well, you haven't told me what we are celebrating just yet."

Jeff chuckles a little as he picks up his glass and has another sip of it. "I think I see something in your glass," he points out to her as she looks in her glass and her eyes widen in shock.

She uses her knife to fish out a large diamond ring. "My God," she gasps. "It's beautiful. How did this get into my glass?" she asks him, not realizing what is happening.

"I had them put it in the glass," he chuckles back to her. "It's for you. From me," he tells her as he moves around beside and kneels down on one knee. He dries the ring off and looks into Meggan's eyes. "Will you marry me Meggan?"

Meggan gasps a little and opens her mouth in surprise. "Is this really happening?"

Jeff laughs again as he grabs her left hand. "It's happening, I love you. I want to be with you. I want everyone to know how much we love each other."

A single tear falls down her cheek as she leans in and kisses Jeff. "You have no idea how happy you've made me!"

"Is that a yes?" he asks her.

"Yes! Yes! A million times over, yes!" she smiles back to him as he slides the ring on her left finger and they proceed to share another kiss.

***

On the other side of the restaurant, Robbie and Victoria sit across from each other sharing a glass of wine as they just finished dinner with each other.

"I can't help but worry about something," Victoria admits to her fiancé as she looks at her large diamond ring on her finger.

"What's that?" Robbie asks her back.

"Well, my Mom and brother know about our engagement," she replies to him. "But what about the rest of your family? Like your Dad, Natasha and …"

Robbie looks back at her and their eyes lock. "Are you worried about how Paige will react?"

Victoria sighs and looks back at him nodding. "I can't help but wonder if she will be supportive or upset by this news."

Robbie reaches over and grabs Victoria's hand. "Look, Victoria, I know that Paige has been having a rough time since Leah died," he begins to tell her. "But I have to think that she will be supportive of us. We were together before Leah died and we have made it through some tough times to get to this point."

Victoria nods back to him and moves a piece of hair behind her year. "I hope you're right," she fakes a smile on her face back to him. "I'm just worried that she thinks no one will ever replace Leah in your life."

***

"Have you given anymore thought to having another hypnosis session?" Frederick asks Felicia as they sit across from each other as they have dinner together. Frederick knows that he would love to have another session with Felicia so he can put more doubts in her mind about her not being in love with Dominick. He also wants to take the next step and tell her that she is in love with him. By telling she may have more secrets to be uncovered, it gives him the opportunity to do so.

Felicia finishes chewing some of her salad and looks back at the doctor. "I have, actually," she replies to him. "I would love to do another session just to make sure that there are no other secrets that I'm suppressing."

"That's wonderful news," Frederick smiles at them as Eva approaches the table.

"Did I just hear right?" Eva asks them. "Are you going to have another hypnosis session?"

Felicia looks up at Eva before she looks over at Frederick. "Yes, but if you don't mind Eva, you're interrupting our dinner. If you'd like to talk about this another time."

Eva shakes her hand to them. "No, I was just passing by and overheard. Enjoy your evening," Eva smiles to them before she leaves. As she walks away, she can't help but wonder what Frederick is up too; why would he want to put Felicia back under hypnosis when Felicia has remembered everything about the night Leah died.

"So, when we should arrive for this session?" Frederick asks Felicia before he takes a sip of his brandy.

"I'm just in the midst of moving in with Tyler," Felicia admits to him. "How about once I'm settled?"

"That sounds perfect," he smiles back to her.

***

Tyler sits at the bar and orders a beer as his mind races about Kim taking Bob home from the hospital. He still can't believe that right as he and Kim decide to be together and that Bob suffered a stroke and can't remember the last year of his life which means Kim has to pretend to be his loving wife. He only hopes that Bob's memory returns quickly because he doesn't know how long he can handle Kim living back in the Calimo mansion with Bob.

"Penny for your thoughts," Trenyce smiles as she comes up to her friend and one time lover. "You look a million miles away."

Tyler turns and sees Trenyce standing there. "I guess I do have a lot on my mind," he says back to her. "Wanna grab a drink with me?"

"I'd love too," Trenyce replies as she sits next to him and orders a martini. "It's been one of those days."

"Tell me about it," he replies to her as he takes a swig of his beer.

"What's going? You seem troubled about something," she says before she takes a sip of her martini.

"Well," he says before he turns to face her. "It's kind of a long story but to make it short, Bob has no memory of the last year of his life and Kim has to play the loving wife or it could jeopardize his recovery."

"Which means you're on the outside looking in again," Trenyce tells him as he nods back to her. "Oh, Tyler, I'm sorry. That's a pretty crappy situation."

"I just hope that Bob gets his memory back sooner rather than later."

"And if he doesn't?" Trenyce asks him. "How long are you going to wait for Kim to play this game for?"

Tyler looks back at her and shrugs his shoulders. "I hadn't even thought of that."

"Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have said anything."

"No," he tells her. "You should have. It's something I have to think about. How long will I wait around for?"

"It's only something you can answer," she says as their eyes lock again.

Scene Four - The Calimo Mansion

"Thank you for bringing me home darling," Bob says as he sits on a sofa in the living room, with a roaring fire blazing in the fire place. "You have no idea how good it is to be home."

Kim smiles back to him. "Well, it feels pretty darn good having you back at home."

Before he can reply, Rosario comes into the living room. "Oh, Mr. Calimo," she says as she comes up and bends over to give him a hug. "Welcome home, Sir. I was so worried about you."

"Thank you Rosario," Bob smiles back to her. "It's good to be back."

"Can I bring you anything? Anything at all?" Rosario asks him.

"Well, since you asked, I'd love a brandy," Bob smirks back to her.

"Is that safe?" Kim asks him. "You're still on a lot of medication, Bob."

"Oh Kimberly," Bob waves his hand to her. "One drink won't kill me."

Before she can reply, the doorbell rings. "I'll get it," Kim says as she stands up and rushes to the front door. She opens it and sees Andy standing on the other side. "Andy!"

"Hey sis," he replies as he pulls her into a hug. "Miss me?"

"Of course I did," she says as they exit their embrace and he moves into the foyer. "How was rehab?"

Andy shrugs a little. "Good, I guess? How does one answer that question?"

"But, you're sober?" Kim asks him.

Andy nods back to her. "I know that every day will be a struggle but I know how to realize that there are better coping mechanisms now than alcohol."

"I'm so proud of you," Kim replies as she pulls him into another hug.

"Thank you," he tells her. "Now, why are you here? I was surprised to learn that you moved back in."

She moves closer to him so Bob doesn't hear her. "Bob doesn't remember the last year of his life. The doctor's think that if he learns anything too quickly it could hurt his recovery."

"Ah, so you're here playing the good wife?" Andy asks his sister, who nods back to him. "I hope you know what you're doing Kim because from where I stand, you're playing with fire."

Before Kim can reply, they can hear Bob call out. "Kimberly, who was at the door?"

Scene Five - The Black House; Adam, Helen & Dawn's Home

"Is that true?" Adam asks Dawn, shocked by what Natasha just revealed to everyone in the room. "Did you push Natasha down those stairs?"

"And, then she blackmailed me into not saying anything by threatening to reveal the affair to Shane if I did so," Natasha continues to reveal the whole sorted truth about Dawn to Adam and Helen.

"Why would you believe this woman over Dawn?" Barbara questions everyone in this room. "She seduced Adam and has been trying to ruin this family for months!"

"Thank you Grandma," Dawn replies, thrilled that someone is defending her. "It's nice that someone is on my side."

"You know that it's the truth Dawn," Natasha tells her. "Admit it! For once, admit what you have done."

"Dawn, please tell us the truth," Helen pleads with her daughter.

"Fine! Okay, I did it! Are you all happy now?" Dawn lashes out at everyone. "Am I the monster you all think I am? And for the record, I didn't now she was pregnant when she showed up here. I learned that after when she was in the hospital. I would never hurt an unborn child."

"I think I should go," Natasha announces as she turns around and starts to walk out.

"I don't think so," Dawn rushes over towards and pulls her around. "You don't get to drop this bomb shell and then just rush away pretending that everything is fine! You're such a bitch, you know that?"

"Dawn, I just told the truth," Natasha says back to her but before Natasha can say anything else, Dawn slaps her hard across the face.

"You're a disgusting whore," Dawn whispers to her as Natasha holds her face with her hand, as Adam and Helen watch in horror what their daughter has become.
