The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

"I can see that my suggestion has taken you by surprise," "Barbara" looks back at Felicia, who has gasped when Barbara suggested that Felicia marry Frederick as a way to thank him for saving her life. Barbara, who is really an alive Eva in a mask and disguise, is hoping that this is the final aspect of Frederick's plan before he will help her regain his memory. "I am just asking you to think about it, Felicia. He is a wonderful man, my being here is proof of that."

"I, uh," Felicia gulps back to her, as her head is spinning at the idea of marrying Frederick. "I will think about it, Barbara."

"Ah, there you are," Frederick says as he moves back into the living room. He and Felicia had been walking in the garden when he got a phone call, so Felicia returned to the house while the doctor took his call. "Am I interrupting anything?"

"No, not at all," Barbara replies to him. "I was just giving Felicia some advice. I'll leave you two now. Felicia, remember what I said, okay?"

Felicia nods back to her before Barbara exits the room. Barbara quickly moves towards the stairs in the foyer and heads to her bedroom. Victoria, who is still hiding outside of the living room, sees Barbara leave and slowly starts to follow her as she thinks that maybe Barbara will be able to help her find out where Eva is.

"So, what did I miss between you two?" Frederick chuckles to Felicia as he moves up to her.

"Oh, you know, girl talk," Felicia giggles back to him. "How was your phone call? Everything okay?"

"Everything is fine now that I am back with you," Frederick smiles back to her. "In case you hadn't noticed, I am at my very best when I am with you, Felicia. That's why I always want to be with you, because you're my better half."

"You're too sweet, Frederick, far too kind."

"I'm just honest."

"Okay, okay," Felicia looks back at him. "My answer is yes."

"What was the question?" Frederick asks her as he arches his eyebrow. "What are you saying yes too?"

Roboto

"I can't believe that it is coming to the point of where we have to give Tyler and Robertson Enterprises a settlement amount," Robbie sighs to his sister as he pours a brandy at the bar in the main office of Roboto. Natasha just filled him in on her latest meeting with Dale, where he suggested that they come up with a figure to end this potential lawsuit with Robertson Enterprises. On top of that, Robbie has agreed to leave his position at the company, which will be included in the settlement offer.

"I know," Natasha replies to him. "But Dale believes that this is the best option we have. If we can make this go away, we have to try. I am just worried that this settlement will hurt Roboto for years to come."

"I guess we have to try," Robbie nods back to her. "What is the number you were thinking?"

"I don't know," Natasha admits to him. "I don't think there is a number that I will ever be okay with."

Robbie chuckles back to her. "I hear you but we have to try. And, I guess that means that this will be the last day at the company."

Natasha stands up from behind the desk and moves towards him. "This place is not going to be the same without you, Robbie," Natasha lets a tear fall down her cheek. "I hate that is has come to this point."

"Me too Nat," he whispers back to her. "But we have to do what's best for Roboto; that has to be our top priority."

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

Donovan moves into the living room of the large mansion that he lives in with Lukas and Meggan and their children. He just finished putting Olly down for his morning nap and now he is looking to have a drink since he is trying to make sure his story stays the way he told Lukas the previous day. He still can't believe that he let his husband catch him walking around because pretending he was to fake his injury as a part of his revenge plan. Now that Lukas knows he can walk, Donovan has to ensure that the rest of his plan goes accordingly to plan.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Donovan asks as he moves into the living room and sees Jasper standing at the bar. The last person he expected to see in his house was his former nanny. "I told you to stay away from me and my family."

"You're trying to ruin my life," Jasper replies to him as he grits his teeth. "How could I stay away?"

Outside of the living room, Lukas freezes when he hears Donovan and Jasper talking to one another. He hides behind the entrance way as he is hoping that by listening to this conversation.

"I told you already," Donovan sneers at him. "You will pay for what you have done, Jasper."

"I'm here to tell you this," Jasper looks back at him. "I will plead guilty the way you want me and because I have agreed to do this, I am hoping that you will go easy on me."

"I will do whatever I want, however I want," Donovan tells him. "You're the one that fucked everything up, Jasper. You better remember that. I will make you pay for what you've done, never forget that."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"It is not often that I get an invite to have a drink with you in the middle of the day," Shane chuckles over to Natasha as they sit across from one another in the restaurant.

"I had a long morning," Natasha admits to him before she takes a sip of her martini. "I don't want to get into the specifics, but Robbie had to step down from Roboto."

"I am sorry to hear that," Shane tells her. "I guess that's why you wanted a drink."

"Yea, it's been a stressful time at the office to say the lease," Natasha replies to him. "And, I didn't want to have the drink alone, so thanks for dropping everything and coming to meet me."

"We've been through a lot together, haven't we?" he chuckles back to her as he thinks about their long history together. "And we are still dealing with Jacob and Cassie together."

"Oh God, don't remind me of that," Natasha rolls her eyes back to him as she thinks about how they recently had another paternity test run on baby Carter and it confirmed that Jacob is the father of Cassie's baby. Natasha hates that her son is now attached to her rival for the rest of his life; the fact that they are seemingly growing closer also makes her nervous. The last thing she wants is for Cassie to sink her claws into Jacob even more. "I still think we have to think of a way to keep Jacob away from that woman."

"You can have fun trying," Cassie sneers at Natasha as she arrives at the table. As soon as Cassie got to the restaurant, she saw Shane and Natasha sitting together and stormed over to their table. She is still furious that they ran a second paternity test on Carter without her knowledge and she wants to make sure they don't cross that line again. "You two have a lot of nerve! Where do you get off running another paternity test on my son?"

"After everything you have put us through, can you blame us for thinking the worst about you at all times?" Natasha sneers back to her.

"Watch your mouth or I'll make sure that you never see your grandchild again."

"Okay, okay," Shane puts his hands up between the two women. "Let's calm down. There's no need for anyone to get heated."

"It's too late for that," Cassie huffs back to him. "I'm going to tell you this once and only once so listen closely: stop interfering in my life," she tells Shane and then looks back at Natasha sternly. "Because if you don't, I will make sure you never, ever, see Carter again. I hope I've made myself clear."

Natasha gulps as she looks back at Shane while Cassie storms off from the table. "What the hell are we going to do?" she asks Shane, who takes a swig of his beer, needing the alcohol more than ever before.

***

At another table, Abby slowly picks up her glass of chardonnay before she looks back over at Dominick, who is sitting across from her. She recalls how earlier in the day, they had a tiff over Dominick's relationship with Felicia. Abby wishes that her husband would not be so fixated on his ex-wife, but he continues to be in Felicia's orbit because of her recent claims that she saw Barbara Mills.

"You're quiet," Dominick tells his wife. "Are you still upset with me? You know, every couple have their disagreements, but we can move beyond it."

"I know," Abby nods back to him. "I am sorry about earlier, Dominick. The last thing I want is to fight with you."

"And I feel the same."

"I just wish that you wouldn't be so obsessed with Felicia," Abby admits to him. "She is your ex-wife, I am your wife."

"Well now," Dominick uneasily chuckles back to her. "Obsessed is a strong word, Abby. I am concerned about Felicia, yes, but only because she is the mother of my children and she has a long history with mental illness. If I wasn't worried about her, you would have reason to be concerned about me."

Abby grins back to him. "I will try to be more understanding," she tells him. "But I do need you to understand where I am coming from."

"I do understand," Dominick reaches over and grabs her hand. "Just remember that I love you, no matter how worried I am about Felicia, I am in love with you and want you to be my wife now, and forever."

Abby smiles back to him. "Thanks Dominick, I guess I needed reminded of that."

The Sugarbowl

Ethan grabs his iced coffee from the barista and moves to the coffee bar to put some sugar in his drink. As he stirs it he looks over at the window seat and sees Paige sitting by herself. He puts a lid on his drink as he thinks about how he ran into Paige the other day at the Pampa Grill, where she warned him about getting involved with Abby because she is "bad news"; Ethan, of course, told her that they were just friends but he knows that he and Abby have shared a kiss, even though she is married to Dominick.

"You and I, we keep running into one another," Ethan says as he moves up to Paige. "How's your day?"

"Why do you care?" Paige looks back and rolls her eyes when she sees him. "The last time we saw one another, you weren't exactly friendly with me."

Ethan chuckles back to her. "To be fair, you were telling me whom I can and can't be friends with Paige. I'm a big boy, I think I can make those decisions on my own."

"That's fine," Paige tells him. "Just remember that Abby is married to my grandfather, okay?"

"I can't forget that," Ethan says. "She has that huge diamond on her finger. It's blinding," he winks back to her. "Can I ask you a question?"

"I suppose, what do you want to know?"

"The reason you want me to stay away from Abby," he looks back at her. "Is that because you have an attraction to me and are jealous?"

Paige looks back at him in shock. "What? How could you say that to me?"

Ethan slyly grins back to her as he casually shrugs. "It was just a question, no need to be so rattled."

"It has absolutely nothing to do with an attraction to you," Paige looks back at him with intent. "Because I am not attracted to you Ethan, not in the slightest."

The Riverbench Winery

"How long do you think we've been on here?" Leah asks as she follows behind Jeff and Meggan as they walk through the dark, cob web filled tunnel that Meggan discovered while they were in the living room of the winery. The three of them arrived in Santa Barbara in hopes of uncovering some information about Leah and Jeff's missing child; Meggan, by chance, found the secret passage and now, they are seeing where it will lead them.

"Not long, only 25 minutes maybe," Meggan replies. "There must be something in here otherwise the tunnel wouldn't exist."

"I'm just creeped out," Leah admits to them.

"Don't worry, there's three of us, nothing will happen," Jeff tells her. "Meg and I got you."

"Thanks," Leah forces a smile on her face.

"Guys, up there, it's a room!" Meggan says as she uses her flashlight to show them what's ahead. "This might be where we can start getting some answers!"

The three rush towards the opening. Once they get there, Jeff is able to find a lighter, so he lights a candle to give them more light. Once the room is illuminated, they can see a desk that is covered in dust.

"What is this place?" Leah asks as she grabs Jeff's arm as a mouse scurries across the floor. She holds her breath to prevent herself from screaming at the sight of the rodent.

Meggan moves to the desk and picks up an older briefcase that rests on it. She blows some dust off it before she looks back at Leah and Jeff.

"It has Frederick's initials on it," she reveals to them. "This must have been his secret office."

Jeff and Leah look at one another in surprise. "We have to search this entire place," Jeff tells them. "This could be where Frederick kept the information on our child!"

The Sugarbowl

At the back booth of the coffeehouse, Bryce sits alone with a coffee in front of him and his phone in his hands. He hasn't heard from Victoria in some time and he is getting worried about his wife. He can't help but think about their last conversation, where she was worried that Eva was alive and being held hostage by Frederick because of some note that she saw in Daisy's purse. He tried to reassure his wife that Eva is dead, but once he was able too, Bryce made the decision to go to Frederick and tell him that Victoria was getting suspicious. Frederick warned him to make sure Victoria thought Eva was dead, or he would have to take matters into his own hands. Bryce doesn't know what that means but he knows that he has to protect Victoria at all costs.

He dials Victoria's number on his phone and waits for her to answer. He sighs when he hears her voicemail message. "Hey Vic, it's me, call me as soon as you get this, okay?" he says into his phone. "I haven't heard from you in a while and I'm getting worried about you."

He hangs up the phone. "You better not do anything to hurt my wife," he whispers to himself, thinking about Frederick. "Or you will answer to me, Dr. Richardson."

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Felicia feels her cheeks flush as Frederick looks into her eyes, awaiting a response from her. "Well, are you going to tell me? What are you saying yes too?" he asks her again with a little chuckle.

"Earlier today," Felicia replies to him as she moves some of her red hair out of her face. "Barbara was telling me that I should, well that I should marry you."

Frederick gets a sparkle in his eyes at the words coming from Felicia's mouth. "I see, and so, without me proposing to you, you're saying you will marry me?"

Felicia nods back to him. "Yes, Frederick," she says as she licks her lips. "I will marry you, if you want to be married."

"I want that more than anything else in the world," Frederick leans in and kisses her on her lips. "You will be my wife, make no mistake about that, Felicia. Oh, you've made me so happy."

***

Victoria, meanwhile, slowly walks up the stairs as she continues to follow Barbara. When Victoria reaches the top of the stairs, she sees one of the bedroom doors closing.

"If I talk to Barbara," Victoria whispers to herself. "Maybe she can tell me if Eva is here or not. This mansion is huge, it would take me days to search it all on my own."

Victoria makes a beeline for the bedroom that Barbara just entered. She opens the door and starts to move inside but freezes in her tracks: inside, she can see a woman standing in front of a mirror. Victoria watches in shock as the mask of Barbara slowly peels off and Eva's face is left looking into the mirror!
