The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Frederick moves up to the bar in the living room of the Victors mansion and pours himself a scotch. He hasn't heard, or seen, Felicia since the night of their wedding. He had hoped that she would have come around and realized that Dominick was purposely stopped their wedding because of their history with one another. Since he hasn't heard from Felicia, he realizes that he will have to pull out all the stops to get her back in his life, again.

"And, I can't use Eva to be Barbara anymore," he whispers to himself. "Since Dominick ruined that plan. Damn him! Everything was going so perfectly, too."

He takes another sip of his drink as he realizes that he will have to get back to Raven's Meadow to see how Eva and Victoria are doing. He had locked them in a bedroom upstairs but he realized that he couldn't keep them there forever, so he knocked them out and had them moved to a padded cell at the hospital.

"Good you're home," a voice says at the entrance way of the living room. "We have to talk, and I'm not leaving here until we do."

Frederick slowly turns and sees Bryce standing there with his arms folded over his chest. "My favorite doctor," Frederick gets a grin on his face. "How can I help you today?"

"You can tell me what the hell you have done with my wife," Bryce moves closer to him. "And don't try to lie, Frederick because I know you've done something to Victoria. Where is she? And what have you done with her?"

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

"Another meal here so soon after the last time we spoke?" Antonio asks Robin as he moves up to her table as she finishes her salad that she ordered for lunch. As soon as Antonio saw Robin, he made a beeline for her table as he is still struck by how beautiful she is. The more he interacts with her, the more he wants to get to know her and be in around her. He hasn't felt this way about a woman for a very long time so he wants to ensure that she knows that he's interested.

Robin chuckles back to him as she drops her napkin on the table. "I love the chicken pecan salad," she tells him as she stands up. "And, the casino is pretty close to my office so it is easy for me to come here for lunch."

"Well, I love that," Antonio nods back to her. "You're becoming one of my best customers."

Robin chuckles back to him. "Have you been here for dinner yet?" he asks her as Robin nods back to him.

"A few times, yes."

"How about the next time you dine with me? It will be my treat?"

Robin looks back at him in surprise but she finds herself nodding back to him. "That would be lovely, Antonio, thank you. Why don't you text me a few dates and I'll look at my schedule."

"I most certainly will do that," he tells her before she scurries off as she has to get back to Robertson Enterprises. Antonio smiles back to himself at the idea of having a dinner date with Robin. He didn't expect it to happen that quickly but he certainly won't complain. He turns to leave the restaurant and head back to his office when he sees Daisy move into the restaurant. He hasn't seen her since they left Las Vegas after he revealed to her that she slept with a man for money; he had told her about a job opportunity but, needless to say, she was stunned by what he meant.

"Daisy," he moves up to her. "Been a few days since I've seen you, how are you?"

Daisy gulps as she looks back at him. She hasn't been able to think about anything else since she got back from Vegas; she still can't believe that she took money in exchange for sex, however, she can't deny that it did help her forget about her abortion, which has been haunting her. The release and escape from that situation is exactly what she needed.

"I am alright," she looks back at him. "I…I came here looking for you."

"You found me," he winks back to her. "What is that you wanted to see me about?"

"That line of work that we discussed and experienced in Las Vegas," she replies to him with some uneasiness in her voice. "I'm interested in pursuing it, if you'll have me."

Antonio looks back at her in surprise as this was the last thing he expected. But he finds himself nodding back to her. "Of course," he chuckles back to her. "Together, we will make a lot of money!"

Dawn and Cheresa open the front doors of the casino and scurry inside as they want to have lunch together at the Pink Flamingo. They are hoping to make some wedding plans over their meal, so they are excited to have some time together to do just that. Dawn, however, happens to look into casino and she sees Andrew sitting at his usual blackjack table.

She stops and grabs Cheresa's arm and then points to Andrew before she looks at her girlfriend. "Why is it that every time we are here, Andrew is sitting at that damn table?" Dawn asks Cheresa.

Cheresa sighs back to her. "I wish I knew. I don't know what else we can do, Dawn? We have expressed our concerns to Andrew, and we have told Chris and Trenyce about it. The rest is up to Andrew, don't you think?"

Dawn uneasily nods back to her. "I am just worried that our friend is heading down a dark, dangerous path. The last thing I want for Andrew is to be caught in a web of gambling debts."

"I know," Cheresa tells her. "You're a good friend, but that's all we can be for Andrew now. He will have to figure this out for himself."

"I just hope he does," Dawn sighs. "Before it's too late."

***

At another table in the restaurant, Andy sits across from Madeline and Nicholas with some oysters in front of them.

"You seemed a little quiet the other day when we told you about your engagement," Andy tells his former sister in law. "Are you sure that you're okay with this?"

Madeline takes a sip of her rose before she looks back at Andy. She knows that she gave Nicholas her blessing for the engagement, but deep down, she is worried about how Clayton will react to the news if he found out. She knows that her brother had feelings for Nicholas, so hearing that he is engaged to Andy might not sit well with him.

"Of course I am happy for you," Madeline finally replies to her. "I wouldn't have given Nicholas my blessing if I wasn't okay with this. You two deserve some happiness after everything you've been through."

"I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear you say that," Andy admits to her. "I know that this might be awkward because of Clayton, but I feel like the luckiest guy in the world being with Nicholas."

Nicholas chuckles back to him before he grabs Andy's hand. "Nah, I am the lucky one."

"Oh you two," Madeline giggles back to him. "Are we done here? I have a shift at the hospital."

"Yea, I think so," Andy nods to her. "I have to get back to the paper."

"You two go, I'll handle the bill," Nicholas tells them. Andy leans over and gives his fiancé a kiss goodbye before he leaves with Madeline. While Nicholas waits for the server, he hears a new text message come in on his phone. He looks at the screen and is stunned to see a message from Clayton.

"Hey Nicholas, how've you been doing?" the message reads.

Nicholas opens his phone and types a response to him. "Been good, how are you? Andy and I got engaged!"

He pushes send and then immediately wonders if he should have told Clayton about the engagement or if he should have kept quiet.

The Sugarbowl

Cassie opens the door to the coffeehouse feeling like she is on cloud nine. Things between her and Jacob are going better than she ever could have imagined and Isabelle has seemingly stopped trying to interject herself in their relationship. Her little talk with the model seemingly worked, and Cassie couldn't be happier about it.

After she orders her iced coffee, she turns and sees Shane sitting alone at the window bar. After she grabs her drink, she moves over to her former lover. "Good day, Shane. Beautiful day, isn't it?"

Shane looks over at Cassie and immediately realizes that this could be his chance to start his seduction of her. He quickly recalls how Natasha gave him the idea to seduce her as a way to ensure Jacob stays away from Cassie; after some thought, Shane agreed to it because he knows that they have to do something to ensure their son doesn't get involved with Cassie.

"It really is," Shane smiles back to her. "You're looking lovely today."

Cassie arches her eyebrow back to him. "Gee, thanks. I am not used to getting compliments from you, though. What's going on?"

Shane chuckles back to her. "I am tired of all this internal fighting in the family," he tells her. "I even told Natasha that she has to come around to you being in our lives."

"You did? I bet she loved that."

"You have no idea," he chuckles back to her. "Hey, I have an idea. To put this to use, why not come back to my place and I can make us a lunch? I know you used to love my fettuccini alfredo!"

Cassie finds herself nodding back to him, realizing that this could be a great story to tell Jacob later; she and Shane getting along and having lunch together would prove that she is good for him.

"I'd like that a lot, Shane," Cassie replies to him, as Shane gets a smile on his face.

"Perfect," he stands up and moves to the door, hoping that this is the start of him getting Cassie into his bed.

Roboto

"Should you even be here?" a concerned Kim asks Robbie as he sits on a sofa in the main office of Roboto. Kim knows that her former husband quit the company as a part of the lawsuit that Tyler filed against them for Robbie's role in Cheresa's kidnapping the previous year. "I don't want to get into trouble."

"It's fine," Robbie waves his hand in the air. "I mean, I don't work here but that doesn't mean that I can't come see my wife and my sister."

"Your ex-wife," Kim quickly corrects him. "We are divorced, remember?"

"How could I have forgotten?" Robbie winks back to her. "Forgive me if I still consider you my wife; I probably always will."

Before Kim can respond, Natasha opens the door to the office and scurries inside. "Kim, I'm glad you're here; we have so much to do."

"I was just telling Robbie that it might not be the best idea for him to be here."

"I am not concerned about that right now," Natasha replies to her quickly. "The settlement cheque is going to be cashed any day now. You know what that means, right?"

Kim uneasily looks back at her with worry. "We have to come up with a new line, or product, ASAP. We need to start making money again."

"Exactly," Natasha nods back to her. "So come, tell me any idea that you that have. Anything that might work in our favor; we don't have a second to waste."

The Penthouse, The Tower's; Cory's Home

"Well Mom was sure in a hurry to get out of here, wasn't she?" Sophie asks Cory before she slumps into the large sofa in the living room of the penthouse.

"She is running a huge company," Cory reminds his daughter as he moves closer to the sofa and sits next to her. "Besides, this will give us a chance to talk. We have a lot to discuss, don't you think?"

Sophie sighs heavily as she thinks about how she admitted to her parents that she got kicked out of boarding school because she pretended to be on the rowing team to get a scholarship. When the school found out about her lie, they expelled her and that's when she returned home to Twin Peaks.

"Daddy, please," Sophie pleads with him. "The last thing I want, or need, is another lecture about this! I just want to put this all behind me!"

"That's not exactly how that works Soph," Cory replies to her quickly. "Actions have consequences, and you have to deal with that now."

"What do you want me to do?" Sophie asks him quickly. "Beg you and Mom for forgiveness?"

"It's not that we don't forgive you," Cory tells her quickly. "It is more that we want you to understand what you did was wrong and that you won't do that again."

"It was wrong! Okay? I won't do it again! Promise!"

"Sophie," Cory looks at her with intent. "You can't just say the words and expect it to be okay. You have to prove yourself to your mother and I again."

"Daddy…"

"No, Sophie, I mean it," Cory holds his ground with his daughter. "You have to start walking the walk and talking the talk. If you want us to trust you and believe you, you have to start with your actions. You think you can handle that?"

Sophie tries not to roll her eyes so she forces a smile her on face. "I'll try my best Daddy."

Tyler's Townhouse

"How was your rest? Are you feeling any better?" Tyler asks Felicia as he moves back into the living room of his townhouse and sees his mother pouring herself a glass of iced tea. He recalls how earlier in the morning, Felicia admitted to him that she didn't sleep well because her mind was racing over the fact that Eva is alive and was pretending to be Barbara Mills, all in hopes of her being in Frederick's life again. The plan almost worked as Felicia almost married Frederick, but the truth came out before the ceremony could take place.

"I suppose I am doing as well expected," she replies before she takes a sip of her drink. "I am still just shocked that Eva is alive and was pretending to be Barbara! I can't wrap my head around that."

Tyler gulps back to her as he still wonders if this story that his mother has told him could be true. He knows that Brooke killed many people, including Eva, by stabbing them, so the Eva couldn't be alive. But Felicia seems very certain that this is the case.

"Did you see Eva at Frederick's mansion?" Tyler asks her, hoping to get more information from his mother.

"Oh heaven's no," Felicia replies to him quickly. "I only saw Barbara; I mean, I guess since Barbara is Eva, I did see Eva, but she always looked like Barbara."

"Right," Tyler uneasily nods back to her. "So, do you think that there's a chance that you're wrong? Do you think that Eva is dead?"

"No," Felicia sternly tells him quickly. "Eva is alive, Tyler. We … we have to help her! Maybe she's in trouble?"

"Maybe," Tyler nervously smiles back to her, realizing that Felicia might need medical help. "We will figure this out, okay? It…it might just take some time."

The Victors Mansion; Frederick's Lair

Frederick chuckles back to Bryce, who is standing in his living room and demanding that he reveal where Victoria is. "And what makes you think that I did anything to your wife?"

"Because," Bryce glares back at him. "The last time I was here, you told me to make sure that Victoria never found out that Eva is alive, otherwise you would have to take care of her yourself. Considering you almost killed her last year, I'm pretty sure that you would have no problems handling Victoria if she got closer to the truth."

"Well, I hate to burst your bubble," Frederick replies to him quickly. "But I have no idea where your wife is. Have you thought that maybe she came to her senses and left you?"

"Victoria wouldn't leave me," Bryce tells him. "We are in love! She wouldn't just leave! You did something to her and I want to know what it is now!"

"Careful Dr. Barty," Frederick turns and glares at him. "You need to remember who you are talking too."

"I don't care about that, Frederick. I want to know where Victoria is!"

"And I told you," Frederick raises his voice. "I have no idea where your wife is! Now, I suggest you get the hell out of here before I do something that I will regret."

Bryce shakes his head in disgust, realizing that he will not get any information from Frederick. He knows, however, that he won't stop until he finds Victoria.

"Oh and one more thing doctor," Frederick calls out, causing Bryce to stop and turn to look at him. "Just remember that I know your dirty secrets, so you will not talk to me that way again."

"And, I know your secret," Bryce tells him. "I know that Eva is alive."

Frederick chuckles back to him. "And I know that you switched those babies," he reveals to him as Bryce's blood drains from his face. "Oh, you didn't think I knew about that, did you? But I do, Bryce. I know that you gave Abby's baby to my son. I could make sure you go to jail for a very, very long time. So, like I said, watch how you speak to me, and if I ever need your assistance, you better say yes or else."
