Robertson Enterprises

"I'm sorry that Leah couldn't help put more pieces together of the night of the wedding between Mom and Frederick," Tyler sighs back to his father as he recalls how Leah was at the office earlier and couldn't help Dominick realize how he was able to stop the wedding. While they are both glad that Felicia didn't marry Frederick, they still don't know what Dominick said to make Felicia change her mind.

"It is frustrating as hell," Dominick admits to him. "Why can't I remember? It was just a few nights ago?"

"I wish I knew," Tyler replies to him. "Something must have happened to erase your short term memory."

"Do you think Frederick did something to do me? That son of a bitch has a history of brainwashing people."

"I mean, it is possible," Tyler tells him. "But what would he want you to forget? What could have been so important that Frederick didn't want you to remember?"

"Felicia is still claiming that Eva is alive," Dominick reminds his son. "Do you think it's true? Could it be possible?"

Barcode

Cory sits at a table in the bar with a beer in front of him. He wanted to get out and have a drink since he is dealing with Sophie being home and all of the drama surrounding his daughter getting expelled from school since she was caught lying about being on a sport team just to get a scholarship. The worst part, in his mind, is that Sophie, seemingly, doesn't seem to understand that her actions were wrong.

He picks up his beer and takes a long sip as he wonders how he will be able to get through to his daughter. While he does that, his mind moves over to Robin. He immediately gets a smile on his face as he thinks about his former wife and how they have been spending so much more time with one another recently. They have always remained close since their divorce but lately, they have been spending more time together than before and he can't help but think that he is starting to have feelings for her again.

He pulls out his cell phone from his pocket and types a text to Robin. "Dinner at the Pink Flamingo in 30 min?"

He sets his phone down and takes another sip of his beer while he awaits a response. He sees the screen light up with an incoming message, so he looks at the message from Robin.

"Sorry - another time. Having dinner with Antonio tonight, xo."

Cory sets the phone down and gulps heavily. He hates the idea that Robin is going to have dinner with another man, further confirmation that he must be developing feelings for his ex-wife all over again.

The Calimo Mansion

"I believe you when you say that Mom didn't take the news well of you being kicked out of school very well," Jacob nervously chuckles back to Sophie as they sit next to one another on the sofa in the living room of the large mansion where they grew up. Sophie has just told her older brother about the fact that she got expelled from school; she just hopes that he is more sympatric than parents have been. "She can be pretty high strung."

"You should have seen them," Sophie rolls her eyes back to him. "They made it seem like the end of the world. I mean, do they think that school in Switzerland is the only boarding school? Ugh, it's just so lame."

"Well you did lie to try to get money Soph," Jacob reminds her of her actions. "It does seem like a pretty big deal."

"I get it," she sighs. "It's just…I feel like Mom and my Dad don't understand me at all. And they aren't even trying to understand me, you know?"

"Do you think it would be better for you to come back here to live? Maybe being with me, Uncle Robbie, Kim and Mom would be a good thing for you?"

"I mean, I could ask," Sophie replies to him. "I've been staying at the penthouse because Dad thinks he can watch me closer because Mom is so busy at Roboto."

"I think you should talk to them," Jacob suggests to her. "Having some more independence might help them start to trust you again?"

"Yea, I will do that," Sophie nods to him. "Thanks Jacob. You know, the best thing about being home is that we can hang out more often."

"I couldn't agree more," Jacob smiles back to his sister. "You will get through this Soph, it's not the end of the world. Trust me on that, okay?"

The Glubbs House; Shane's Home

"I am so sorry that this is taking longer than just a lunch date," Shane moves into the living room of his house and passes Cassie a glass of red wine. "I didn't realize I needed to run and grab all the ingredients for my fettuccini alfredo."

Cassie takes a sip of her wine before she looks at Shane, who sits next to her on the sofa. "It's fine," she replies to him. "I just got a call from Carter's nanny, and she is okay to stay with him a little while longer."

"That's good," Shane nods back to her. "I'm just glad you didn't have more plans with Jacob tonight."

"Ah, well, I don't know if you heard but Sophie is back in town," Cassie reveals to him. "So Jacob is spending time with his sister."

"I hadn't heard that," Shane tells her. "But that's my son, always looking out for family first."

"Yea, he is good at that. He's amazing with Carter; a natural father."

"You know," Shane looks back into her eyes. "I was a lot of like Jacob when I was his age; I was so scared about the idea of becoming a father, but once I held him in my hands, it was all so natural. We are all born with that instinct, I believe."

Cassie purses her lips back to him. "You've always been a great father to him. Jacob is lucky to have you, Shane."

"He's a great guy, I got lucky," Shane chuckles back to him. "This is nice, Cassie. I had forgotten how easy you are to talk too. And, you're still as beautiful as ever."

Cassie chuckles back to him. "Well, thanks. I guess it's been a long time since you've said anything remotely like that to me."

"Far too long," Shane says as he moves his hand up to her cheek and caresses it. "Far too long."

Before she knows what he is doing, his lips are pressed against hers and they are sharing a soft kiss and he quickly makes more passionate by sliding his tongue into her mouth.

The Tower's, Floor One; Andy & Nicholas' Apartment

"Well, I think everyone is pretty happy with our news that we are engaged," Nicholas tells Andy as they open the door to their condo. Earlier in the day, they were celebrating with Madeline to ensure that she was okay with their news since they know that she has been concerned with how Clayton would react. To his surprise, Madeline was perfectly fine with the engagement and then Nicholas responded to a text from Clayton telling him of the engagement. He realized after that, maybe, he shouldn't have said anything but he can't undo it now.

"Of course they are," Andy smiles back to his fiancé. "We have been through so much to get to this point, Nicholas. Anyone that isn't happy doesn't deserve to be in our lives."

Nicholas chuckles back to him. "That's a good point."

"I have to ask though," Andy looks over at him. "Have you told Melissa the news yet?"

Nicholas sighs back to him as he thinks about his mother; he hasn't told her yet because he doesn't know how she will react.

"I haven't, but I will. I'm sure she will be fine," Nicholas tells him as he moves up to Andy and kisses him. "How about we stop talking about my mother and start focusing on each other?"

Andy chuckles. "Does focusing on each other mean that we are going to the bedroom?"

"Yes, yes it does," Nicholas swats Andy's bottom before they rush off to the bedroom, eager to undress each other.

The Tower's, Floor Three; Madeline & Will's Condo

Madeline pours herself a glass of wine before she moves over to her sofa where she sees the novel that she is reading. After a long day, she is hoping to relax since she doesn't have the night shift at the hospital. She is home alone because Will is working, so she thought a glass of wine and her book would be the perfect way to spend the evening, especially since she is trying to figure out her next move with Will, as she overheard him having another dream of Eva the other day.

She sits down and takes a sip of her wine but before she can open her book, she hears a knock on her door.

"I wonder who that could be," she says as he slowly stands up and moves to the door. She opens the door and gasps when she sees Clayton standing in the hallway. "Clayton? My God, what are you doing here? I…I can't believe that you're back?"

Clayton flashes his smile to his sister before he leans in and hugs her. "I'm back," he tells her as they exit their embrace. "I heard about Andy and Nicholas getting engaged; you all seriously didn't think that I would miss that wedding, did you?"

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

"You were away some time this afternoon, is everything okay?" Lukas asks Donovan as he pours himself a scotch from the bar in the living room of the house that he lives in with his husband, sister and their children. Lukas recalls how he and Donovan had a fight earlier in the day and then Donovan took off for a while. He just wants his husband to tell him the truth about everything that has is happening between him and Jasper.

"Yea, everything is fine," Donovan lies to him as he knows that he left because Jasper asked to see him. At their meeting, Jasper told Donovan that he wouldn't plead guilty to the sexual assault charges; in retaliation, Donovan told Jasper that he would call immigration on him as he knows that his former nanny is in the country illegally. "I just needed some air."

"Look, I know we got rather heated earlier," Lukas looks back at his husband. "I'm just trying to put all of these pieces together. It seems like there's a lot that has happened from the time you got in the car accident to when you regained the strength in your legs."

"I suppose you're right," Donovan nods back to him. "A lot did happen in those months, for both of us."

"See, here we ago again," Lukas sighs back to him. "Every time we start talking, it feels like you start talking in code. I…I don't think I can do this anymore, Donovan."

"What the hell does that mean?" Donovan huffs back at him.

"I'm saying, you have to tell me the truth, the entire truth," Lukas replies to him. "Or I'm going to walk away from this marriage."

Dominick's Townhouse

"Thank you for being so sweet to me," Felicia tells Abby, who passes her a cup of tea while they sit next to one another in the living room of the house that Abby shares with Dominick. Felicia knows that she and Abby haven't always seen eye to eye, so she appreciates that Abby is being kind to her. After everything that has happened the last few days, Felicia doesn't have the capacity to be catty with Dominick's new wife.

"Of course," Abby sits next to her. "Dominick has shared with me everything that you went through the last few days. I…I can't imagine how difficult this has been."

"No one has any idea because, well, it seems like no one believes me with what happened."

"Why don't you tell me? I haven't heard your side of the story, yet," Abby tells her, as she thinks about how she has to continue to drug Dominick to ensure he doesn't remember that Eva is alive and well.

Felicia sighs back to her. "I kept telling everyone that Barbara was alive and well because I kept seeing her," Felicia tells her. "But it wasn't Barbara at all."

"Then who was it?"

"It was Eva," Felicia explains to her. "Frederick had Eva dress up like Barbara to convince me to see him. It was all apart of his plan. And Dominick knew! That's why he stopped the wedding."

"Dominick doesn't seem to remember that," Abby explains to her. "That's why we just hope that you're doing okay, Felicia."

"I am fine!" Felicia firmly sets her glass of tea down. "I will be fine, I just need anyone, somebody, to believe that I am telling the truth! Abby, please, you have to know that I'm not crazy, okay? Eva is alive! Frederick conducted this entire plan! Tell me that you believe me?"

"We will figure this out," Abby forces a smile on her face as she wonders how she is going to deal with Felicia. She can't have her running around telling everyone that Dominick knew the truth about Eva because that could help spur his memory to come back. "I don't know how, but I will figure this out, I can promise you that."

Robertson Enterprises

Tyler turns and looks at his father in shock at his suggestion that his wife could still be alive. The last thing he expected from Dominick was to ask if Eva could be alive.

"No Dad," Tyler shakes his head back to him. "It's impossible. Brooke stabbed so many people, including Eva, there's no way Eva could be alive. You saw her; how could she have survived?"

"I know you're right," Dominick sighs back to him. "It's just…I wish I could remember what happened! And if Frederick did brainwash me, he will pay for it. I have to make sure he gets what's coming to him."

"That's fine," Tyler says. "But in the meantime, we still have to figure out what to do with Mom. I'm worried about her, Dad. I mean, first she claimed Barbara was alive; now, she's claiming that Eva is alive and was posing as Barbara. It's the most insane thing I've ever heard!"

"I know, I am concerned as well. But I'm not sure what we can do, son."

"I've been thinking about something," Tyler admits to him. "Frederick is no longer working at Raven's Meadow, so if ever there was a time for Mom to go back, it would be now."

Dominick opens his eyes wider in surprise. "You want your mother to be checked into a mental facility again?"

Tyler uneasily nods back to him. "I think it's our only option; Mom needs to get help before someone else gets hurt Dad."
