The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Frederick slowly pours himself a scotch and immediately takes a sip of it as he thinks about how he had his children over for dinner the previous night because he said that he had an announcement to make. Once all his children were in attendance, he announced that the DNA test results were back and it confirmed that Leah was his child. The revelation was did not go over as well as he expected as Leah was furious with him, as was Lukas, who asked him how many other bastard children he had out there. He just hopes that they eventually come around to the fact that Leah is his daughter.

"They will all come around," he whispers to himself. "Once the initial shock wears off, they will realize that there is a power in numbers. The more Richardson's there are, the stronger we will become."

He looks out of the doors and peers into the garden. "Now, that I have revealed this secret, it is time that I put all my energy into Felicia; it's time that she is back in my life once and for all. I need to make sure that Eva puts that Barbara disguise back on and tells Felicia to come here."

He turns his head when he hears a noise behind him. He gets a grin on his face when he sees "Barbara" standing behind him and next to him is Felicia. "Felicia, Barbara," he says, still surprised that they are here.

"Hello Frederick," "Barbara" smiles back to him. "I've brought you a visitor. I've brought you Felicia," she says as Felicia gulps heavily looking at her former doctor.

The Lawson Estate; Greg & Cheresa's Home

"How are you feeling now that Robbie has signed the divorce papers?" Greg asks Kim as he moves towards the sofa where his friend is siting and he passes her a glass of white wine. Behind him, Traci pretends to be dusting some furniture as she listens to the conversation with an arched eyebrow.

"Thanks for the wine," Kim tells him as she takes a sip of it. "And, I am feeling fine, to be honest. I am glad that he realized that our marriage is finally over. There's nothing that he can say or do that will make me forgive him for what happened last year when I had my miscarriage. I just hope there's not much of a delay for getting the divorce finalized."

"Now that Robbie has signed the papers, there shouldn't be a contest in the proceedings," Greg tells her. "That should make it go quickly."

"I hope so," Kim replies to him. "There's just one thing left outstanding from the entire debacle last year."

Greg arches his eye brow back to her. "What would that be?"

"Finding Tara," Kim says as Traci pauses and looks at the couple before she scurries away into the kitchen. "I don't think we can rest until Tara pays for her role in what she did to my baby and to Cheresa."

"I hope that we can find Tara," Greg replies to her. "But I have lost hope. Simona Lopez doesn't seem to have any updates for us; it's like that woman has disappeared from the face of the earth."

"Well, if I can help with anything, you have to let me know."

Roboto

"I hope that you have good news for me," Natasha tells Dale as he pours two cups of coffee from the bar in the main office of Roboto. She turns to her lawyer and passes him a cup of the coffee before she sits on the sofa across from him as she is eager to hear if he has come up any new strategies to beat the lawsuit that Robertson Enterprises laid on the Roboto once Tyler learned about Robbie's role in Cheresa's kidnapping. "We have to come up with a way to make this lawsuit go away."

"I'm afraid this won't just go away," Dale sighs back to her before he takes a sip of his coffee. "I still stand by our conversation that we last. I think Robertson has a very strong case, especially because they will call Kim, who is a top executive at this company and ask her to testify."

"My brother, Robbie, he has agreed to step down from his duties at the company," Natasha reveals to him. "Would that help our cause?"

"To be honest, that looks like an admission of guilt," Dale replies to her quickly. "Come on Natasha, you used to practice law, you know how that would look."

"Ugh, I know," Natasha groans back to him. "I was just hoping that something would go our way for a change."

"Well, I think I have found a solution, but I'm not sure you will like it."

Natasha looks back at him with intent. "What is this solution? I will do anything, Dale."

"What if we offer a settlement?" Dale suggests to her. "We come up with a number that Robertson will be happy with and we avoid court, where the outcome might be far worse."

"A settlement? Is that's like an admission of guilt too?"

"It could be, or it could be viewed that you want to avoid more bad press," Dale tells her. "I know that the company would take a hit, but I need you to think about it, Natasha. It could be the way out of this for good."

The Black House; Helen & Dawn's Home

"Okay, hang on, I'm coming," Helen says as she throws a tea towel over her shoulder as she walks towards the front door of her house as she heard the doorbell as she was doing dishes from her breakfast in the kitchen. She finally opens the door and sees Adam standing outside. "Adam, hi, come in, please."

"Thanks," Adam smiles back to her as he moves into the house that he lived in with Helen while they married. "I hope this isn't a bad time?"

"Not at all," Helen tells him as she closes the door and follows him into the living room. "I was just cleaning up from breakfast. Dawn had to go to the hospital for a shift."

"I still can't believe our baby girl is working at the hospital, it feels like yesterday that she was running around here in a diaper."

Helen chuckles back to him. "It feels like yesterday, doesn't it? So, what brings you by today? Can I get you anything?"

"Nah, I'm good but thanks," he nods back to her. "I guess I'm here about you."

"Me?" Helen arches her eyebrow back to him. "What about me?"

Adam nervously chuckles back to her. "I happened to see you the other day at the Pink Flamingo with a man. I, uh, guess I wasn't aware that you were seeing anyone new."

Helen feels her cheeks flush in embarrassment. "Oh, Dale," she quickly tells him. "You remember that vacation I took recently?"

"To Cancun?"

"Yea, exactly," Helen nods back to him. "Dale was actually staying at my resort. We connected there and I just found out that he's in town for work."

"Wow, small world."

"That's what we both thought."

"So, this Dale," Adam looks back at her. "You two are…involved?"

Helen chuckles back to him. "We are seeing where things go," Helen admits to him. "I have to tell you Adam, this feels like the new chapter I have been longing for. Dale, he makes me feel alive, and beautiful, and desired…I haven't felt that way in a long time."

Adam uneasily nods back to her. "I'm happy for you Helen," he tells her. "You deserve all the happiness in the world. Just do me a favor, okay?'

"What's that?"

"Go slow and be careful. The last thing I want is for this Dale guy to hurt you."

"I appreciate that Adam," Helen smiles back to him. "But I don't think hurting me is even in Dale's vocabulary."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Cory grabs his take out bag from the bartender and gets ready to leave. He is having a breakfast meeting with Nicholas at the One Day House and grabbed some food for the two of them. As he is leaving, he can't help but see Leah sitting at the bar by herself. He had heard through the grapevine that his former lover received news that Frederick is in fact her biological father; he knows that she must be reeling from the news and finds himself approaching Leah.

"Hey, how are you? Or do I even have to ask?" Cory asks Leah as he sits next to her.

Leah puts her coffee down and looks back at him. "You heard about the DNA test?"

"I did," Cory nods back to her. "I can't imagine what you're going through."

Leah puts a smile on her face. "It's sweet of you to care," she looks back at him. "After the way things ended with us, I wasn't sure that you'd still reach out."

"Just because we didn't work out Leah, it doesn't mean that I don't care about you," Cory looks into her eyes. "That will never stop, okay? So, if you need anything while you're dealing with this change, just remember that I am always just a phone call away."

***

At another table, Trenyce sits with a sparkling water in front of her. She recalls how she got an urgent sounding text message from Andrew asking to meet him at the restaurant. She has no idea what he wants to discuss with her but she does hope that everything is okay.

"Good you came," Andrew says as he quickly approaches her table and sits across from her.

"The text sounded important," Trenyce looks back at him. "So, of course I came. You might not be living under my roof anymore, Andrew, but I still consider you to be a member of my family."

Andrew cuffs back to her. "Do you mean that?"

"Of course," Trenyce arches her eyebrow back to him. "Why would you question that?"

"If that's true, then you won't lie to me, right? You'll be honest with me?"

Trenyce gulps back to him. "I'm not sure what you're asking me?"

"I heard you the other day when you were having lunch with Chris," Andrew looks back at her with intent. "You told him that you are pregnant with his baby."

Trenyce feels her heart start to race as she realizes that he knows that he might be the father of her unborn child because they slept together the night of the Roboto ball.

"Is it true? Are you pregnant?" Andrew asks her quickly.

"Yes," Trenyce replies to him quickly. "You heard correct. I am pregnant with Chris' baby."

"How can you be so sure? You know damn well what happened between us!"

"I took the pill the next day," Trenyce lies to him. "Chris has to be the father of this baby, Andrew. So, you can put this story of us having a child together out of your head right now."

"You told me you wouldn't lie to me Trey," Andrew nods back to her. "So I hope you're telling me the truth. I will drop this but if you're lying to me…"

"I'm not lying!" Trenyce whispers in a worried tone. "Chris is the father of the baby! He is the father, Andrew. I am not lying to you! So, I need you to drop this before you create a whole lot of heartache."

The Sugarbowl

"I can't believe it," Cheresa shakes her head while she has a smile on her face as she sits across from Chris in the back booth of the coffeehouse. "You and Mom are having a baby?"

"Yea, we are!" Chris beams back to her. "I can't tell you how excited I am by this news."

"I am surprised," Cheresa admits to him before she takes a sip of her iced coffee. "Trenyce just gave birth to BJ, this seems soon for another baby."

Chris chuckles back to her. "That's what I told her, it will feel like we are going to have twins in the house."

"Are y'all sure that you want all that crying and diapers…."

"I am so sure," Chris replies to her. "This is my chance to be a father, Cheresa. After everything that happened with you being stolen from us, I never thought that I would get this chance again and now here it is."

"Well then, I am happy for both of you," Cheresa smiles back to you. "I'm going to have, another, baby brother or sister," she chuckles. "Our family is growing so quickly."

"And I couldn't be happier about it," Chris smiles. "At the end of the day, family is all we have. I am so blessed to have Trey, and you, and BJ and now this little bundle of joy. I don't think anything will ever bring me down from this high."

Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I hope I'm not interrupting you," Robin announces to Shane as she opens the door to his office at the hospital and moves inside. She just finished having another check up on her pregnancy and wanted to share the news with Shane.

"Not at all," Shane replies to her as he stands up and sees the mother of his children. "We can only chat for a few minutes though; Natasha should be here any time."

"Okay," Robin moves some hair behind her ear. "I won't keep you too long; I just wanted to let you know that my check-up was routine; the baby and I are both healthy and happy."

Shane smiles back to her. "I'm happy to hear that. Thanks for letting me know."

"Of course," Robin nods back to him. "I know that I told you that we can't be together, Shane, but I would never keep you from our child's life. I want you to know every detail about what is happening with our child."

"I appreciate that Robin," Shane looks back at her. "I can't lie and say that I'm not hurt by your decision but I respect it and won't pressure you for anything more. I just want you to be happy."

"Thanks," Robin smiles back to him. "I'll be in touch with any other updates."

Robin turns to leave and as she opens the door, Natasha appears. "Oh hi Robin," Natasha smiles to her.

"Natasha, I was just leaving. See you around."

Natasha waits until Robin is out of the office before she turns to face Shane. "I got your message," Natasha tells her ex-husband. "Please tell me this has something to do with Cassie and baby Carter? Did you get the paternity test results back?"

"I did," Shane moves to his desk and picks up an envelope. "The second test that we ran in secret; I have the results right here."

"Don't keep me waiting," Natasha eagerly tells him. "Did we just prove that Cassie lied? Is Jacob not a father after all?"

Shane opens the envelope and reads the results. He gulps before he looks back at Natasha. "I'm afraid not," he looks at Natasha. "The results confirmed what the last ones did: Jacob is Carter's father," he says as he Natasha feels the blood drain from her face.

The Tower's; Floor Eight; Victoria & Bryce's Condo

"You're pacing," Bryce notes to his wife, who is walking back and forth in the living room of the condo that they share together. Bryce has observed that Victoria has been seemingly on edge since she got home earlier in the morning. "What's going on?"

Victoria pauses and looks back at Bryce, her mind racing about her interaction with Daisy earlier in the day. She saw Daisy at the park and Daisy admitted to Victoria that she found a note in her purse after she had a dinner party at Frederick's. Daisy showed Victoria the note and it read, "I'm at Dr. Frederick's,…E"; the handwriting on the letter reminded Victoria of Eva's, but Daisy reminded Victoria that Eva was stabbed by Brooke, so there's no way that Eva could have written the note. Still, Victoria has an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"You won't believe this," Victoria replies to him quickly. "But…I think Frederick has done something to my mother."

Bryce arches his eyebrow as he feels his heart start to race at the thought that Victoria might have realized that her mother is alive. "What do you mean by that? Your mother…she's gone, Victoria…"

"I know that Brooke stabbed her and killed her," Victoria shakes her head in confusion. "But Daisy had this note left in her purse after her dinner party with Frederick a couple nights ago. The note, it said that they are at Dr. Frederick's and they needed help … they signed it E and the handwriting….it looked like Eva's…."

"Okay, okay," Bryce stands up and moves up to her. "Let's take a deep breath. Does Daisy have any idea who could have put the note in her purse?"

"No," Victoria shakes her head back to him as she starts to tremble. "And I know it could be anyone, I…I just have this feeling that this has something to do with my mother. What…what if Frederick has done something to her? What if she's alive? What if he's holding her hostage?"

"Hey, breathe, breathe," Bryce tells her as he pulls her into a hug. "We can figure this out but you have to brace yourself that this has nothing to do with Eva, okay? Please tell me you get that."

"I do," Victoria nods back to him. "I just have this hope, I guess. I have to figure out if Frederick did something to my mother! I can't rest until I know the truth!"

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Frederick looks back at "Barbara" and Felicia and gets a huge smile on his face. For weeks now, he has been hoping that Eva would be able to get Felicia to come see him, and finally his plan has worked.

"Barbara, my dear," Frederick moves up to them. "Thank you for bringing Felicia to my house. And Felicia, my beauty, please come in. I've been waiting for you."

"You…you have?" Felicia asks him, not sure if she should be scared or not.

"Of course, I have," Frederick replies to her. "You have always been in my mind, my heart, Felicia. I have longed for this moment to be reunited with you."

Felicia uneasily looks back at him. "Barbara told me that I should thank you, for saving her. So, that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to thank you."

Frederick chuckles back to her. "Well, you can start by thanking me by agreeing to have lunch and tea with me? What do you say, Felicia? Will you stay with me?"

Felicia nods back to him. "Perfect, I'll have the chef prepare us something now. I am most looking forward to getting reacquainted, Felicia."
