The Bellagio Hotel & Casino; Las Vegas, Nevada


"Okay, you were right, I did need to eat something," Daisy tells Antonio as they sit across from one another in the Greek restaurant that is in the large Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Daisy recalls how she woke up, later in the day, with a killer hangover. She didn't remember all the details how much she and Antonio drank the previous night, but she did see a large stack of cash in her hotel room. When she questioned Antonio about where the cash came from, he remained quiet with her.

"I knew you'd feel better," Antonio takes a sip of his red wine that is in front of him. "When you have a hangover, the best thing for you is a big meal."

"I guess I was hungrier than I thought I was," she nods back to him. "And now that I am feeling better, maybe we can finish our talk that we started in the suite?"

Antonio chuckles back to her. "You're still curious about the money?"

"I am," Daisy admits to him. "I counted it, it's almost a thousand dollars Antonio. I don't remember gambling though, but we were playing the slot machines. Did I have a huge win? Or did we move to blackjack or something?"

"Are you really telling me that you don't remember anything else from that night?"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you," Daisy replies to him. "So please, Antonio, tell me what happened last night. And tell me everything."

The Tower's; Floor One; Andy & Nicholas' Condo

"Ah, there you are," Nicholas says to Andy, who emerges from the washroom and back into the living room, where the romantic evening is still set up. Nicholas recalls how when Andy got home and saw the setup, he admitted to Nicholas that he was exhausted from his day. Nicholas only hopes that by showering and then having dinner together, Andy will be able to last into the evening so he can still propose to him. "How was your shower?"

"It was good," Andy replies to him. "I guess I needed it."

"Does that mean you're feeling better?" Nicholas asks him. "I have dinner ready, if you're hungry."

"I am still tired but I don't want this night to be spoiled," Andy says back to him. "You have gone to all this trouble and I really appreciate it, Nicholas. You're such a wonderful partner."

Nicholas smiles back to him as he reaches for Andy's hand. "Do you want to dance with me? I'd love to feel you in my arms for a while."

"I'd love that," Andy smiles back to him as they enter each other's arms and let the soft jazz music start to move their bodies together.

The Glubbs Home; Shane's House

"I'm glad that you were able to come over for a little while tonight," Shane tells Jacob as they sit across from one another in the living room of the house that Shane lives in. After he got a text message from his son earlier in the day that included a picture of Jacob, Carter and Cassie together, Shane asked his son to come over for a few beers so they could catch up. Of course, in the back of Shane's mind, he hasn't been able to stop thinking about the fact that Natasha suggested that he seduce Cassie to keep her away from Jacob. "It's always good to connect with you, Jacob."

"Yea, thanks for the invite Dad," Jacob takes a swig of his beer. "Carter was heading to bed so I thought it was good timing."

"Looks like you guys had fun earlier today," Shane tells him. "That picture you sent was great."

"We did have a great time," Jacob chuckles back to him. "Carter is a great kid, he's a lot of fun to be around."

Shane nods back to him. "Enjoy these times while you can, before you know it, he will be a grown man."

"Sounds like you're speaking from experience."

Shane chuckles back to him. "Looks like you and Cassie were also having a good time together."

"It is interesting," Jacob tells him. "I know that you and Mom have a history with Cassie, but with me, Cassie is a very loving woman and a great mother."

"I will only mention to you, Jacob, that she did try to kill you and Paige when she thought she couldn't have you anymore."

"I know, I know," Jacob sighs back to him. "She admitted that she had a mental breakdown. I guess I can't hold that against her, forever. In fact, we … I don't know if I should say anything to you."

"You can tell me anything man," Shane tells his son. "I want you to know that you can trust me. I'm here to help you or just talk too. So, what is it? What's going on?"

Jacob blushes back to him. "The other day, I kissed Cassie on the cheek," he reveals to his father. "And today, before I left her place to come here, we kissed. We are growing closer Dad, I think we might have a chance to be a family, the three of us."

Shane uneasily forces a smile back on his face before he takes a sip of his beer. "I'm, uh, happy for you, if that's what you want," he tells his son, immediately realizing that he has to follow through with Natasha's plan: he has to seduce Cassie, and there is no time to waste.

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"Before I give any other information on the lawsuit, I have a few things to say and you have to hear me out," Natasha sternly tells Tyler while they sit across from one another in the restaurant while Ethan and Dale are also present. They are agreed to meet so they can discuss a possible settlement in the lawsuit that Robertson Enterprises and Natasha has already revealed that Robbie has left the company as a result.

"Natasha? What are you doing?" Dale asks her, hoping that his client is going to do something that she will regret.

"It's fine," she looks back at her lawyer with a smile on her face. "This is something that I have to say, so please bear with me."

"We are listening," Ethan tells her. "What do you have to say?"

Natasha turns her focus to Tyler. "You and I, we've been through a lot together, Tyler. I want you to know that no one at Roboto, even Robbie, meant for any of this to happen. You have to believe that. What happened last year with Cheresa's kidnapping was a horrible situation, and I'm not making light of that, but I do want you to acknowledge that we never meant for anything like to happen. That's not who the Calimo's are."

Tyler finds himself nodding back to her. "I can accept that. And I also want you to know that while you, or any member of your company, might not have meant for this to happen, it still did happen and that's why there is this lawsuit."

"I couldn't agree more, it did happen and here we are," Natasha looks back at him. "This offer that I'm about to make, it is my first and only offer. If this isn't acceptable, then I will see you in court. It is not up for debate. Furthermore, you will sign a NDA that states you will never speak about this again."

"I think that's fair," Ethan looks over at Tyler. "But before we agree, we do need to see your proposal, Ms. Calimo."

Natasha slides a piece of paper across the table and over to Tyler. Tyler grabs the paper and turns it over before he shows it to Ethan.

"Seven million dollars," Natasha tells them as Dale's eye open wider in surprise. He didn't expect Natasha's offer to be that high, but he think that it is very generous. "I will admit that I wrestled with that number, but Tyler, considering what you and I meant to one another at one time, I wanted this to be fair. So, I'm hoping that you will agree with me that you can accept this offer and we finally move on? So, what do you say?"

Ethan moves over to Tyler and whispers something in his ear. When he leaves his client, Tyler looks back at Natasha and gets a sly grin on his face. "You have a deal Natasha," he says as he reaches over and shakes her hand. "I'll drop this for 7 million dollars."

The Lawson Estate; Greg & Cheresa's Home

"Ugh, I just don't know what to do Cheresa," Abby groans to her sister as she lays on the sofa while Cheresa pours herself a gin and tonic before she joins Abby on the sofa. Abby just told her that she overheard Dominick and Victoria talking about how Felicia is going to Frederick this evening and Dominick wanted to go and try to stop the wedding. She, of course, didn't hear any of part of their conversation, but she is annoyed that her husband is, once again, rushing to save Felicia. "I feel like I am competing with Felicia for my husband's affections!"

Cheresa takes a sip of her cocktail before she looks back at her sister. "I'm just going to keep it real with you," she tells Abby, who looks back at her. "To me, for me, it makes sense that Dominick is so tied up in Felicia's business. I mean, they share children together and Felicia has a history of mental illness; it would be weird if he wasn't worried about her."

"You sound like my husband," Abby giggles back to her.

"Maybe we are both just thinking logically," Cheresa winks back to her. "I get that you might feel like you are competing for his attention but Abby, he did marry you, remember that, okay? Felicia is in his life but you are his wife, there's a huge difference."

"I suppose you're right," Abby nods back to her. "Thanks for trying to help me with that."

"Of course," Cheresa laughs back to her. "I'm surprised that you came here and not with Dominick."

"Why would I do that?"

"Why wouldn't you?" Cheresa asks her. "If you want to ensure Dominick is still with you, I would have went with him on this mission to save Felicia from marrying Frederick. Maybe Dominick would like your support?"

"You're right," Abby sits up on the sofa. "I need to get to the mansion to see if Dominick needs my help. If I leave now, maybe I can make it there before this wedding begins."

"Good luck," Cheresa grins back to her sister, who starts to scramble to collect her belongings. "And let me know how it goes!"

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair


Dominick opens the front door the mansion and quickly moves inside the foyer as Victoria follows behind him. After Victoria told Dominick the truth that Eva is alive and posing as Barbara to help convince Felicia to marry Frederick, they raced back to the mansion so Dominick can stop the wedding and Victoria can reunite with her mother.


"My mother was upstairs in a bedroom," Victoria tells him. "I need to be with her to see if she okay."


"Alright, you do that and I'm going to track down Felicia and stop this wedding from happening. Do you have any idea as to where Felicia would be?"


Victoria shakes her head back to him. "The last time I saw her, she was in the main living room but that was hours ago."


"No worries, I will find her. I won't let her marry Frederick."


"Good luck," Victoria tells him. "We will save Eva and Felicia from this madness."


"Thanks for coming to me with this," Dominick replies to her. "As soon as I find Felicia, I will call you so we can get out of here."


"Sounds good," Victoria nods back to him as she turns to the stairs and starts to move up while Dominick rushes off and tries to find Felicia.


Victoria reaches the top of the stairs and quickly moves to the bedroom where she saw her mother earlier in the day. She takes a deep breath before she opens the door and moves inside. Immediately, she fees her eyes swell with water at the sight of Eva, who is reading a book.


"I can't believe this, it's true," Victoria whispers as she moves closer to Eva. "You're really alive!"


A startled Eva stands up and looks back at Victoria in confusion. "I… who are you?"


"Mom, it's me, it's Victoria!" She replies to her. "Donovan and I, we've been so sad since we thought we lost you, he will be so happy that you're alive!"


"You're my daughter?" Eva asks as she gets tears in her eyes. "I've been longing to get back with my family."

"I'm here now," Victoria grabs her hands and squeezes them. "I won't let anything bad happen to you."


"What the hell do we have here?" a booming voice asks at the doorway. Victoria turns around and gulps heavily as she sees a fuming Frederick standing at the door with his arms crossed over his chest.
