The Pampa Grill

The crowd continues to whisper in shock in the wake of Dominick's stunning announcement that Robertson Enterprises has beaten Roboto by launching their own anti-aging serum called Youthful. On the stage where Kim, Robbie and Natasha are standing, they are horrified that Roboto's serum, Youth, will now be called a copycat version of Robertson Enterprises. The three of them have no idea how Dominick managed to do this but they are furious that they have seemingly let this happen.

"How did this happen?" Natasha puts her hand on her hip as she glares at Kim and then over at Robbie. "How did Robertson know every single detail of our launch?"

"I wish I knew," Kim shakes her head back in horror. "Let's ask him? He's so proud and smug, he can answer us!"

"Start talking," Robbie turns to Dominick, who is floating in the crowd with Felicia next to him. "How did you do this?"

"Do what?" Dominick asks him back smugly. "Beat you to the punches? My company has always been better than Roboto, now the entire world will realize it. It happened when your father was running the company and its happening again with you guys at the helm."

"This didn't just happen," Kim shouts back to him. "Your product is practically identical, so how did you do this? We kept our product top secret from everyone!"

Before Dominick can reply, Cassie reappears behind him with more gift bags in her hands. After she finished moving some money around in the Robertson Enterprises bank accounts, she raced back to the launch. She knew that Dominick was going to do something, she just had hoped that things would have calmed down by the time she got back.

"What did I miss? What's going on?" Cassie asks as she works her way through the crowd and to the stage. "I got more gift bags … you guys look horrible, what's happened?"

Natasha chuckles back to her suddenly realizing she has all the answers she needs. "Of course," she looks at Cassie. "It was you, you were the one who gave Dominick the details about our serum!"

The Cascade Apartments; Apartment 507; Craig's Home

"I can't believe that it worked; it really, really worked!" Craig beams back to Lukas as he opens a beer from his fridge and takes a sip of it. He knows that he and Lukas were worried about the fact that Simona wanted to see him before she would agree to drop the rape charges against Lukas; Lukas was worried that if Simona knew that Lukas was going to pay Craig 10 million dollars, they would end up getting charged with something else since it wouldn't have looked good for them. However, to their amazement, they were able to cover their tracks with the detective, and she has agreed to drop the charges against Lukas. "Simona believed every single word we said."

"Thank God, it means that this is over, it's really over," Lukas tells him back. "The charges against me are dropped and now I can give you this cheque and we can finally move on with our lives."

"Yea, finally, hey?" Craig uneasily looks back at him. "Look, Lukas, for what it's worth, I never wanted things to end up this way."

Lukas passes Craig the envelope with the certified cheque in it. "You might not have wanted things to end up this way Craig, but they have. And now, I never want to see you again."

Craig takes the money and then takes another sip of his beer as Lukas storms out of the apartment. Craig sighs and realizes that the sooner he accepts the position in London, the better off they will all be.

The Pampa Grill

While the Roboto gang faces off with each other and Dominick, the other attendees of the party start to mingle again as the launch has clearly been a huge flop. Abby grabs some sparkling cider from a waiter who walks by her and takes a sip before she smiles to herself.

"You look like you're enjoying that," Andrew comes up to her with a glass of champagne. "Maybe a little too much."

Abby giggles back to him. "I wish it was champagne, but I know better than that."

"You're taking care of yourself because of the baby. I know you said you were scared but you're doing the right things, Abs."

"I'm trying," Abby looks back to him. "You know, I meant to tell you, I told Cheresa that I'm pregnant. She was really supportive."

"That's great to hear," Andrew replies to her. "I think I figured she would be supportive, I think it's your parents that we have to worry about."

Abby uneasily chuckles back to him. "She actually gave me some good advice," she reveals to him. "I told her I was scared about being a mother and she suggested adoption. I can't believe I hadn't thought of that."

"So, that's what you want to do? You want to put the baby up for adoption?"

Abby shrugs back to him. "We can talk about that, but I like that idea much more than having an abortion."

"Yea, let's keep talking about it," Andrew tells her. "Like I said, I'll support whichever decision you make."

"I guess this was the secret project my Dad has been working on," Robin tells Adam as they stand in the back corner together with glasses of champagne in their hands. Robin knew that Dominick was up to something when he was asking for last minute marketing and promotional shots to be put together. She just had no idea that it was going to one-up Roboto.

"He's sly, that's for sure," Adam looks back at her. "I'm just glad that we are here having free champagne."

Robin chuckles back to him. "I'm so glad we moved past everything that happened in Paris," she looks back to him. "This is the relationship I always wanted."

"Me too Robin," Adam smiles back to her before he leans in and kisses her. "I never want to be apart again."

"I have to ask though," Robin looks up at him. "Why were you late getting to the Eiffel Tower? What was keeping you from being with me right at 4 pm?"

Adam sighs as he looks back at his fiancé. "You won't like this but I can promise you it was nothing," Adam tells her as Robin arches her eyebrow. "Helen was in Paris. She came to my hotel room just as I was leaving to meet you."

"What?" Robin gasps back to him in shock.

"She professed her love for me as she hoped that we would reunite," Adam continues to explain to her. "I told her that I was in love with you and nothing else mattered."

"I don't believe this…"

"Don't worry," Adam puts his hands on her shoulders. "Helen and I are just friends. You're the woman I'm in love with, nothing will change that Robin."

Robin pulls him into a hug and holds him. "I know, it is just unnerving, that's all. But I believe you, Adam."

The Victors Estate; Vinny & Victoria's Home

Brett looks over at Daisy as she lays on the cot in the cage that they are trapped in together. He can't help but recall a few days earlier when they made passionate love with one another. He knows that they had been building towards their attraction for some time but she has been pretty quiet since they actually crossed that line. He wonders what she is thinking about and if she regrets their love making.

Before he can say anything to her, Vinny appears on the other side of the bars of the cage. "I come bearing gifts," Vinny grins to his captives as he holds up some paper bags. "Now, I might not be back for a couple of days, so make sure this lasts."

"Why won't we see you for a couple of days?" Brett asks his brother as he moves up to the cage, where the small door opens and Vinny passes through the bags of food. Brett takes the bags and sets them on his cot.

"I have a life," Vinny tells his brother quickly. "That's why. Ta ta!"

Brett groans as Vinny walks away from him. He turns and looks at Daisy. "Can you believe him? He's such an asshole."

Daisy sits up on the bed and looks up at him. "What's in the bag, I'm hungry."

"Ah, she speaks," Brett chuckles back to her. "You've been so quiet lately."

"Yea, just a lot on my mind."

"Is it the fact that we made love?" Brett asks her as he passes her an apple and Daisy takes a bite of the fruit.

Daisy looks back at him and finishes chewing the apple. "It can't happen again," Daisy tells him quickly. "Having sex with you was a mistake."

Vinny emerges in the study from the secret tunnel and waits for the secret door to close behind him. He is startled when he hears Victoria's voice behind him. "Where did you come from?" she asks him as she moves into study, having thought she saw a door closing within the bookshelf.

"What do you mean? I've been in here for a few hours," Vinny lies to her as he knows that she can't find out about Daisy and Brett.

"I just walked by a few minutes ago and this room it was empty," Victoria moves closer to him, wondering if Vinny is lying to her. She doesn't know why he would do that to her but it is odd in her mind.

"Ah, I was in the washroom," Vinny smiles back to her. "It was just bad timing I guess. Anyways, were you looking for me?"

"I was," Victoria tells him, her mind still on the fact that something doesn't seem to be adding up. "It's so beautiful outside, I was hoping you'd join me for a picnic lunch?"

"I'd love that very much," Vinny smiles back to her as he leans in and kisses her. He hopes that he has covered enough for her to drop whatever it she thinks she saw. "Let's go."

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

"Donovan?" Lukas calls out as he opens the front door of the large estate that he lives with his sister and husband. He can't wait to tell Donovan that the entire mess with Craig is finally over and that they can move on with their lives. After months of torment, they can finally put these rape charges to rest and get on with their lives. "Donovan, babe, are you?"

"Yea, I'm in the living room," Donovan replies to him as he comes into the foyer and sees his husband. "What's up?"

Lukas rushes up to him and pulls him into a hug. "It's over Donovan, it's finally over."

Donovan holds his husband closer. "What do you mean? What's over?"

"Craig, the rape charges, it's over," Lukas looks back at him as they exit their embrace. "Simona Lopez dropped the charges. We are free, Donovan, we are finally free!"

Donovan smiles back to him and pulls him back into another hug. "Thank God," Donovan tells him. "It's over."

The Pampa Grill

"We have to talk about what you said before the launch started," Trenyce corners Dawn and looks back at her with intent. Trenyce was floored when Dawn revealed that Cheresa saw her and Brad having sex the night before Brooke's trial; Trenyce has to know if this is actually true because if it is, this would explain why Cheresa has been so cold to her lately. "Is it true? Did Cheresa really see what happened between Brad and myself?"

Dawn gulps back to her wondering if she should have said anything in the first place. The last thing she wanted to do was get in the middle of Cheresa and her parents, but Trenyce was pressing her for information and it just came out. "Answer me, Dawn! I need answers!"

"Yes, okay?" Dawn looks back at her. "Cheresa told me everything about seeing you and her brother together in that way. That's why she's been pushing you away, she has no idea if she can trust you or not! She doesn't think she can trust you after seeing you in bed with Brad."

"God, this is a nightmare," Trenyce shrieks back to her. "I have to make this right, I have to tell my daughter that it just happened."

Chris, meanwhile, stands close by and feels the blood drain from his face as he just heard: Trenyce and Brad had sex the night before Brooke's trial. He quickly rushes out of the room, not letting Trenyce see him as he needs to wrap his head around what he just learned.

"What a night, huh?" Dominick smiles to Felicia as they exit the restaurant. Dominick knows that the Calimo's are furious and seeking answers but he doesn't want to stay around to see them squirm as he doesn't want the night to turn any uglier than it already is.

"I think everyone was surprised by your revelation," Felicia tells him as they move closer to his car. "How did you pull this off, Dominick? It's just you and me here, you can tell me."

Dominick chuckles back to her. "Let's just say that I have my ways, Felicia. And you know what, it brought me such great joy seeing the Calimo's not know what was coming."

Felicia pauses and looks back at him as the wheels in her head start spinning. "I saw Cassie Nova coming out of your office … does that have anything to do with this revelation of yours?"

"Of course not," Dominick waves his hand back to her. He knows that no one can know about his connection to Cassie; he hates lying to Felicia but he doesn't have a choice. "I would never do business dealings with the likes of Cassie Nova. Don't you worry about that," he tells her.

"You did this, didn't you?" Natasha asks Cassie, who looks back at her in confusion as Robbie and Kim look over at Cassie in shock. "You gave Dominick the information about Youth so Robertson could beat us to the shelves."

"Have you lost your mind?" Cassie asks her back. "Why the hell would I do that? The serum was my idea in the first place? You think that I want another company to steal my idea?

"Then who else could have done this?" Kim asks back. "How did Dominick get the information to create an identical product?"

"I have no idea," Cassie lies back to them. "But it wasn't me! This is my baby, all of you just came along for the ride! I would never do anything to ruin Youth!"

"She does have a point," Robbie nods back to his sister and Kim. "She did pull the majority of the weight on this product. It wouldn't make sense for her to see it fail this way."

"Well that's just great," Natasha snaps back to them. "That means we have another mole in the company and I will do whatever it takes to find out who it is."
