The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

"Please," Felicia's lower lip trembles as she fights tears in her eyes. "Frederick, tell me what Dominick is claiming isn't true! Tell me!"

Frederick huffs back to her before he glares over at Dominick, who just told Felicia that Barbara isn't alive at all, in fact, it is Eva who is alive and she was wearing a mask that made her look like Barbara. Frederick had put this all into motion to get Felicia back; he believed that Barbara, being Felicia's close friend, would be able to convince her to forgive Frederick for all of his past misgivings. To his credit, it worked as Eva, pretending to be Barbara, convinced Felicia to marry Frederick; the ceremony was just getting started when Dominick crashed it and announced that the truth.

"Tell her," Dominick grits his teeth back to his rival. "Tell Felicia how you used Eva as your pawn in this sick and twisted game to get Felicia back! Tell her the truth damn it!"

Frederick glares back at him. "You mind your own fucking business! This is between Felicia and myself! She's about to be my wife!"

"Tell me the truth!" Felicia shrieks back at him. "Did you make Eva disguise herself as Barbara? Did you do all of this behind my back?"

"Yes, darling," Frederick nods back to her. "But what you have to understand is that I did this for us. I wanted this to happen," he tells her as he gestures to the wedding venue. "I wanted to be your husband more than anything else in the world."

"And do to it, you lied and manipulated me?" she shakes her head back to him.

"Let's finish the ceremony," Frederick tells her. "Let's get married and we can talk about all of this after we are husband and wife."

"I can't marry you," Felicia says as a tear falls down her cheek. "I don't even know you!"

Before either man can say anything, Felicia rushes out of the room as more tears fall down her cheeks.

"Are you happy now?" Frederick glares over at Dominick.

"Actually, yes," Dominick nods back to him. "There was no way in hell that I was going to let you marry Felicia, not when you have been lying to everyone about Eva and Barbara! Now, tell me, where is Eva? Where are you hiding her?"

Frederick uneasily chuckles back to him. "Why? You have already moved on with your new, younger wife…"

"Shut up," Dominick spits back to him, as Frederick picks up a candle stick and grips it in his hand. "You have no idea what you're talking about."

"Don't I?" Frederick turns and looks at him. "Your wife wasn't even cold in the ground before you married Abigail."

Dominick moves up to him in a hurry and grits his teeth to him. "I told you to shut up!"

"Or what?" Frederick grins back to him. "Sit down old man, you don't scare me. Not even a little bit."

"I'll shut you up then," Dominick forms a fist with his hand as he wants to punch his rival.

Before he can, however, Frederick raises his hand and slams the candlestick into his head! Dominick's body quickly crumbles to the ground, as the blow has knocked him unconscious.

Main Street

Abby exits the Sugarbowl and moves towards her SUV, which is parked just outside the coffeehouse on Main street. She needed a coffee to help keep her energy up since she is heading to the Victors mansion to see if Dominick needs any help with Felicia. Cheresa had encouraged her to see if Dominick needed assistance instead of feeling insecure about his relationship with his ex-wife.

As she moves towards her vehicle, Abby can't help but notice Paige walking down the side walk. She recalls how when she went into the coffeehouse, she saw Paige and Ethan about to share a kiss. Abby interrupted the kiss but she is left feeling a twinge of jealous since she and Ethan recently shared a kiss as well, but she knows nothing more can happen because she is married to Dominick.

"I'm off to see your grandfather," Abby calls out to Paige, who stops and looks over at her rival. "I'll tell him that you said hello."

"You do that, Abby," Paige rolls her eyes. "I don't care what you say or do, just for the record."

Abby sneers back to her. "The feeling is mutual, but I do want you to stay away from Ethan Alexander," she says before she knows what she is saying.

Paige arches her eyebrow back to her. "Why do you care who I interact with?"

"I don't," Abby tells her quickly. "But Ethan is my friend and I don't want you to sink your nasty claws into him."

"Do me a favor," Paige looks back at her. "And focus on your marriage and not your single attractive male friends, Abby. My grandfather deserves that much from you."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"I can't thank you enough for all your support with the lawsuit," Tyler grins over to Ethan as they sit across from one another in the restaurant, each with a beer in front of them and some crab cakes that they are sharing. "I am still rather surprised that Natasha offered us 7 million to settle outside of court."

Ethan chuckles back to his friend before he takes a swig of his beer. "I'm telling you, we had a solid case. Even with that, I am surprised by the dollar amount myself. It just shows that she knew that they were going to slammed by the Judge had it gone to court."

"I couldn't agree more," Tyler nods back to him. "And that money will be put to good use at the company. I have some ideas on upcoming campaigns."

"That's awesome," Ethan tells him.

"I was hoping that you'd stick around the legal team, Ethan," Tyler looks over at him.

Ethan arches his eyebrow back to him. "Are you offering me a full time job at Robertson?"

"I am," Tyler grins back to his friend. "Look, I know you just got settled at your new office, and you can work from there, but I'd like to have you on retainer for whenever we need you."

Ethan chuckles back to him. "I'd love to work with you and your team on a daily basis," he tells his friend as he picks up his beer. "Cheers, to working together on a regular basis."

***

Antonio peers into the casino and smiles at the sight of how busy it is. He, and Daisy, have returned from Las Vegas after their quick trip there, where he admitted to his new friend that she ended up sleeping with a man for money. He could tell that she was mortified when he revealed the truth to her, but he has faith that she will come around as she earned a lot of money.

His gaze looks over at the blackjack table and he sees Andrew putting another chip down. He recognizes the younger man as someone is that is staying in the resort on the second level of the casino. He moves up to the table.

"Good evening," Antonio smiles as Andrew looks up at him. "I am the owner of the casino, Antonio Moretti. I have seen you around as you are staying here and wanted to come introduce myself."

"Nice, I'm Andrew Pherson," Andrew replies to him. "You've done a great job with the place, I'm having a great time staying here."

"And enjoying the blackjack table, it appears," Antonio grins back to him. "I won't keep you, I just wanted to introduce myself."

"Thanks a lot Antonio, I'm sure I will be seeing you around."

As Antonio turns to leave, he freezes when he sees Robin walking towards the Pink Flamingo restaurant. It's not the first time he has seen her, but he can't help but think that she gets more and more beautiful each and every time he is around her.

"I'm going to have to get to know you better as well," he whispers to himself as he continues to move towards his office.

Meanwhile, back at the blackjack table, Andrew throws his cards down when he realizes that he lost another hand.

"Wanna be dealt in the next game?" the dealer asks Andrew, who shakes his head back to him.

"Nah, I'm out of chips," Andrew slowly replies as he stands up from the table. He feels his heart skip a beat when he sees Trenyce walking quickly closer to him. "Trey, hey. This is a surprise?"

"So it's true?" Trenyce looks back at him with intent. "You're gambling now?"

Andrew arches his eyebrow back to her quickly. "I just played a couple hands, yea. Why?"

"Dawn came to see Chris and I," Trenyce reveals to him. "She was…concerned about you."

"Oh brother," he sighs back to her. "Dawn and Cheresa saw me playing a couple hands and overreacted. There's nothing wrong with me having some fun in the casino. I mean, have any of you stopped to play a slot machine?"

"We…we just don't want anything to happen bad to happen to you."

"You know what?" Andrew barks back at her. "You made your choice to be engaged to Chris and have his baby. So, focus on that and leave me the hell alone, okay?"

Before Trenyce can respond, Andrew pushes past her and quickly walks to the elevator so he can return to his suite. Trenyce takes a deep breath and hopes that Andrew isn't using the gambling as a way to forget any pain that he is in. She looks over and sees Daisy happen to enter the casino. She quickly moves over to the doorway to see her Aunt.

"Hey, I'm glad you called," Trenyce hugs Daisy, who looks around, hoping that she doesn't see Antonio as he is the last person she needs to see right now. "Do you want to go to the Pink Flamingo?'

"No, I want to get out of here," Daisy replies to her. "I…I've made a huge mistake Trenyce and the casino is the last place that I need to be."

"A mistake?" Trenyce asks her in confusion. "What kind of mistake?"

"It's a long story," Daisy grabs her hand as they start to leave the casino. "Tell me about you and the baby, I want to know everything about my niece."

***

At a table inside the Pink Flamingo restaurant, Shane and Natasha sit across from one another with lunch in front of them. Natasha takes a bite of her beef wellington before she looks over at Shane, who has chicken parmigiana.

"So, you saw Jacob last night?" Natasha asks her former husband. "How did the visit go?"

Shane sighs back to her before he takes a sip of his water. "I mean, it was alright. It was good to see him; he's really taking his role as a father seriously."

"But more than that, what is going on with him and Cassie Nova?" she quickly asks him. "Please tell me that they aren't growing closer."

"I'm afraid I can't do that," Shane replies to her quickly. "He told me that they shared a kiss before he came to my place."

"That bitch!" Natasha hisses back to him. "I have to stop her from getting her claws further into Jacob!"

"I know and I agree," Shane nods back to her. "That's why I wanted you to come to lunch today. I've made a decision."

Natasha looks back at him with an arched eyebrow. "Does this have anything to do with…"

"Your idea for me to seduce Cassie?" he finishes asking her question. "Yes, it does. And, I've decided that I will do it. I will seduce her to ensure she stays away from Jacob."

"Oh Shane!" Natasha gasps out with a smile on her face. "Thank you so much! You won't regret this, I promise you that!"

The Tower's; Floor Three; Madeline's Condo

"See, when we have the the same days off together, spending them in bed is a good way to kill time, huh?" Will chuckles over to Madeline as he lays naked in the bed with her next to him. They just finished making love, which was a good thing for him because he had been feeling estranged from his girlfriend because his therapist suggested that he was still in love with Eva.

Madeline grins back to him. "We had needed this for sure," she tells him as she runs her finger over his toned chest. "It was nice to reconnect with you like this."

"I couldn't agree more," Will tells her. "It had been too long since we were together this way."

"I guess we have to make time for one another, don't we?"

"Yea, we do," Will says. "I know that we are both busy but we are young people with needs still. And, I'm still very attracted to you Madeline. I hope I proved that today."

"You did," Madeline chuckles. "I guess I have been insecure because of Eva."

"I know and I'm trying, believe me, I am."

"I know you are."

Before Will can reply, a bright light appears in front of him. He shuts his eyes from the brightness; when he opens them, he sees Eva standing in front of him in a white dress.

"Help me," she whispers to Will. "Help me!"

Will shakes his head and when he opens his eyes again, the vison is gone. He looks back at Madeline looking white as a ghost.

"Will? Did you hear a word I just said?" Madeline asks him. "I suggested going for a meal at the Pink Flamingo? Are you okay?"

"Yea," Will uneasily nods back to her. "I'm fine. Food sounds good, let's shower and go?"

"Sure," Madeline arches her eyebrow, wondering what just happened with her lover.

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

"There has to be some way for us to get out of here," Eva looks over at Victoria as she releases the handle of the door of the bedroom that they currently locked in thanks to Frederick. "This door won't budge though."

"I know," Victoria replies to her mother. "I've been thinking about that. If and when Frederick comes back, that would be our chance to escape."

"Ever since you told me about my family that I have, I have been wanting to get out of here even more," Eva admits to her. "I want to be with my family; I think it will help me with my memories."

"I agree completely," Victoria tells her. "I will help you with whatever you need to regain your memories, Mom."

"Thank you my sweet daughter," Eva smiles to her. "Now, what should we do to get out of here? Any ideas?"

***

Frederick looks down at Dominick's body, which is laying on the ground and gets a grin on his face. He and Dominick were fighting when Frederick knocked his rival out.

"You never could hold a candle to me," Frederick whispers to him as he kicks Dominick's hand, which confirms that he is knocked out cold now. "And I'm going to make you pay for ruining my wedding to Felicia."

"What the hell is going on in here?" a startled Abby asks as she moves into the living room and sees Frederick standing over her husband. "Dominick?" she asks as she rushes to her husband and bends down to see if he is still breathing. "Dominick? Can you hear me? Dominick!"

She looks up at Frederick and glares at him. "What the hell did you do to my husband?"
