The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

Jacob moves into the restaurant and heads to the bar as he is picking up some breakfast take out to take back to the Calimo mansion for his family as Natasha was still not feeling so great this morning. He is trying not to overly worry about his mother, but the fact that he has witnessed some of her coughing spells, which have left him feeling unsettled.

As he waits for his order, he looks over and happens to see Isabelle sitting at a table with some breakfast in front of her. He knows that he hasn't seen her in a while but they were flirting at the office, to the point where Natasha was asking him if anything was going on between them.

"Well, good morning," he says as he moves up to her table and sits across from her. "How have you been?"

Isabelle looks over at him and feels her heart skip a beat. While she has been seeing Max, she can't help but wish that she was exploring a relationship with Jacob as she feels a wild attraction to him.

"Jacob, hi," she replies to him. "I haven't seen you at the office, how have you been?"

"Busy," he nods back to her. "Things have been crazy in my world. My sister is back in town, my Mom seems to be getting sick or something and my son is keeping me very busy."

"Your mom is ill?" Isabelle asks him quickly. "I am sorry to hear that. I hope she gets better soon."

"Yea, I hope it's nothing," Jacob tells her. "She's just been coughing a lot. Hopefully just a cold."

"Well, it's nice to see you," Isabelle smiles to him. "I have missed seeing you at the office."

Jacob smiles back to her. "That's sweet of you," he replies to her. "You're looking good."

"This old thing," she laughs at her summer dress. "You're too kind, Jacob."

"Just being honest. Anyways, my order is ready, I should get going. See you around?"

"I hope so," she winks back to him. "Let's not go so long without seeing one another."

"Deal," Jacob giggles before he scurries to get his order.

Isabelle sighs as she watches Jacob leave. "Why can't we be together?" she asks herself, lusting after the young man. "That's all I really want."

The Pink Flamingo at the River Rock Casino

At another table in the restaurant, Andy and Nicholas sit across from one another with coffee's and fruit and yogurt cups as their breakfast. Andy was eager to tell Nicholas about his conversation with Clayton the previous day. He is still surprised that he is back in town after so many weeks of being away.

"So, after you went to work yesterday, I had coffee with Clayton," Andy reveals to him before he takes a bite of his strawberry. "He told me some interesting things."

Nicholas arches his eyebrow before he takes a sip of his coffee. "What did he say?"

"Well, for starters," Andy looks back at his fiancé with intent. "He revealed to me that he is still in love with you. So, there's that."

Nicholas chuckles back to him. "You don't have to worry about that," he replies to him. "I asked you to marry me because I am in love with you, Andy. Clayton can feel however he wants, it doesn't change my feelings for you."

"I appreciate you saying that," Andy admits to him. "I guess it threw me because of our history with Clayton."

"You have nothing to worry about, I promise you. Now, what else did Clayton say?"

"He said you texted him and told him about our engagement," Andy looks back at him. "Is that true? Because if it is, you're the reason he's back in town."

"He did randomly text me," Nicholas reveals to him. "He just asked me how I was doing and I responded that we were engaged. I never meant any harm by it, you have to believe me."

"I do believe you," Andy tells him. "I just think that if Clayton tries anything, we have to remember that he came back because of that text."

"I don't think he will try anything," Nicholas says. "We have to believe that he is trying to move on from our past situation."

"I hope you're right," Andy uneasily nods back to him. "I just have a bad feeling about him being back in town."

"Thanks for agreeing to meet me this morning," Helen tells Dale as they sit across from each other at another table. She picks up her orange juice and takes a sip before she looks back at the man that recently proposed to her; Helen had indicated to Dale that she needed time to think about the proposal because Adam had revealed that he was Mallory's father and after her family's history with his deceased daughter, Helen had to try to understand what had happened.

"Of course," Dale replies to her before he takes a bite of his bacon strip. "I wanted to give you all the time you needed. I know Adam's revelation and then my proposal was a lot to take in."

Helen chuckles back to him. "It certainly was," she admits to him. "Just so you know, I did speak to Adam and Dawn about the proposal. I wanted my family to know what had happened."

"Let me guess," Dale chuckles back to her. "Adam was against the idea of us getting married?"

Helen shrugs back to him. "Both he and my daughter were just concerned about what was uncovered, you have to understand that."

"I do, but I hope I explained myself."

"You did," Helen looks back at him. "You were very sincere in your experience after Mallory's death and that you didn't know about my connection to her when we met. And, I believe you."

"Thank you for that."

"And, I want you to know, Dale, that I have really enjoyed our time together," Helen continues to explain to him. "You helped me come out of a very dark time of my life; you have made me feel alive again and realize that I do have a life to lead that doesn't need to include pining away after someone who didn't want to be with me."

"What are you saying, exactly, Helen?" Dale asks her quickly.

"I'm saying," she says as a smile creeps over her face. "That I will marry you, Dale. I would love to be your wife, if the proposal still stands?"

Dale grins back to her. "Of course it does!" he says as he leans over and kisses her on the lips. "You've made me so very happy, Helen."

"Good because that is how I feel about you."

The Lawson Estate; Greg & Cheresa's Home

"Are you feeling any better this morning about your Mom?" Dawn asks Cheresa as Traci moves into the living room with a fresh pot of coffee. Dawn recalls how the previous night her girlfriend told her that Trenyce had outdone herself and she was furious with her mother. Dawn didn't get all of the details but she hopes that Cheresa is feeling better.

Traci, meanwhile, sets the coffeepot down and tries to listen into the conversation to see if she can learn anything new about the family that she is working for.

"Ugh," Cheresa groans as she grabs a coffee from the pot Traci just put down. "No and I don't really want to think about that mess this morning."

Dawn chuckles back to her. "Alright, but just know that I am here if you need anything from me. I want to support you, if I can."

"Thanks love," Cheresa turns and looks at her girlfriend. She then turns her head to look at Traci. "Were you waiting for something, Traci?"

"No," Traci shakes her head back to her. "I was just waiting to see if you needed anything else."

"I think we are good for now, thanks," Cheresa replies to her as she moves back to the sofa and sits next to Dawn.

Traci takes the queue and rushes back into the kitchen, annoyed that she won't be able to hear any more of the conversation between the two women.

"Are you still feeling like something is going on with Traci?" Dawn asks her next before she takes a sip of her coffee.

"The longer I am around her," Cheresa looks back at her. "The more I think I know her from somewhere. She seems…familiar to me, but I can't place it, you know?"

"Yea, that's odd," Dawn admits to her. "Just not pressure yourself; you will put the pieces together eventually."

"I guess so," Cheresa chuckles back to her. "It's just another part of my life that I feel like isn't going well, you know?"

"Hopefully I'm not in that category."

Cheresa kisses her girlfriend on her lips. "You're the best thing, as always."

The Sugarbowl

Robbie sits at the window seat of the coffeehouse with a large coffee in front of him. He is wondering what he should do with his day because he was forced out of Roboto following Tyler's lawsuit. As he takes a sip of some of his coffee, he wonders what his next move should be for his career; he has no idea what is next for him because he has been working at Roboto for so many years. Being at his family company was his sole purpose for so long, he doesn't know what else he will do.

"You look a million miles away," a voice calls out behind him, which causes Robbie to turn and he sees Madeline standing there with a coffee.

Robbie smirks back to her as he recalls how the previous night when he ran into her at Barcode and they shared a drink together as they both realized they were in a similar situation since they were both ending relationships.

"We meet again," he chuckles to her as she sits next to him. "Feeling any effects of our drinks last night?"

"Nah, I know my limit," she replies to him. "How about you?"

"Same," he nods to her. "And you're right, I was lost in my thoughts when you got here."

"Anything you want to talk about?"

Robbie sighs back to her. "Just trying to figure out my next move," he reveals to her. "When you lose everything, you have to figure out next step."

"Oh Robbie," Madeline reaches over and grabs his hand. "You haven't lost everything; it may seem that way, but you have a lot going for you, okay?"

Robbie smiles as he looks back into her eyes as she smiles back to her. "Thanks Madeline, I needed to hear that this morning."

Isabelle moves into the coffeehouse looking to grab another coffee before she heads into Roboto for the day. With her mind being so focused on Jacob and Max, she realizes that she didn't have the best sleep the previous night, which is why she wants another dose of caffeine. After she grabs her drink from the barista, she happens to see Max sitting in the back booth.

"Fancy meeting you here," she says as she moves over to his table and sits across from him.

"Isabelle, good morning," Max smiles back to her. "I was just thinking about you."

"You were? Good thoughts, I hope?"

"Always," he winks back to her. "Are you heading into the office?"

"I am," she nods back to him. "I was just grabbing another coffee. How about you?"

"Yea same," Max replies to her. "We could go together…unless you wanna play hooky and grab some breakfast?"

Isabelle chuckles back to him. "I already ate, I actually ran into Jacob earlier."

Max arches his eyebrow back to her. "Jacob, huh? Should I be worried?"

"I don't know, should you?" she teases him back. "I will admit that I think he's cute but he is seemingly taken, so not much I can do about that, right?"

Max uneasily nods back to her. "Yea, right. Okay, let's get to the office. We have a lot of things to do today."

Dominick's Townhouse

"Thank you for stopping by this morning," Dominick welcomes Bryce into his living room of the house that he shares with Abby. Dominick called the doctor over to for a few reasons, mostly to see if he has decided if he will help treat Felicia, as he suspects his former wife has another mental break down.

"Of course," Bryce turns and faces him. "I am assuming this has to do with your request to treat Felicia?"

"It does," Dominick nods back to him. "Can you please tell me that you have decided to help my ex-wife? Time is of essence with her getting healthy again."

Bryce nervously sighs back to him as he knows that he is agrees to help Felicia, Frederick could retaliate against him. At the same time, he could spin this to his favor, if he plays his cards right.

"As you know, I am still worried about Victoria," he replies to him Dominick. "So, I haven't really given it a lot of thought. I promise you, though, I will give it some more thought. As you can imagine, my wife has to be my top priority."

"Yes, of course," Dominick uneasily nods back to him. "But please, let me know soon. Like I said, I need to get Felicia help sooner than later."

"You said that there was something else that you wanted to discuss with me?"

"There is," Dominick tells him. "I suspect that Frederick Richardson brainwashed me," he says as Bryce's eyes open wider in surprise. "I have short term memory loss and I need to uncover those memories."

"I see," Bryce replies to him. "And, how do you think I can help you with that?"

"I want you to hypnotize me," Dominick reveals to him. "I want you to put me under so I can remember what happened the night of Felicia and Frederick's wedding. What do you say? Help me uncover everything that Frederick is trying to make me forget?"

Raven's Meadow

Abby walks quickly through the long hallway of the hospital as she moves towards the Chief of Staff's office. She is at the hospital to see Frederick this morning because after breakfast this morning, she gave Dominick the last pill that will continue to make him forget the fact that Eva is alive. She knows that she needs more of the medication in order to keep her husband from remembering that his legal wife is still alive; if Dominick remembers the truth, it would mean that her marriage would cease to exist because it wouldn't be legal.

As she knocks on the office door, Will peers down the hallway as he steps out of the staff lounge with an arched eyebrow. "Why is Abby Lawson here?" he asks himself. "What could she want with the Chief of Staff?"

He watches as the door to the office opens and Abby moves inside.

Inside the office, Abby looks at Frederick with concern. "I am glad that you're here."

"I've been expecting you," Frederick replies to her with a sly grin on his face. He knew that, eventually, Abby would be back to see him. "I take it you need more medication to give to your husband, I mean, Eva's husband."

"That's not funny," Abby warns him. "But yes, I do need more pills."

Frederick chuckles back to her. "I remember the night of my wedding," he tells her as he moves to his desk and opens a drawer. "You weren't sure if you were going to drug Dominick, I see you've come to your senses. I knew you wouldn't want to lose everything that you have right now."

"Shut up Frederick," Abby hisses at him. "I'm not here for you to tell me what I need or don't need in my life. All I know is that I don't want Dominick to remember, okay?"

"Here are more pills," Frederick passes her more of the drugs. "And remember, Abigail, we are on the same page here. Don't forget that."

The Calimo Mansion

"Oh Jacob is back, thank goodness, I'm starving," an excited Sophie leaps out of the sofa and starts to move towards the large table in the Calimo mansion. She knew that her brother was going to get breakfast and she was starting to feel like he would never return back with the food. As she moves, she turns her head and sees Natasha still sitting in the large arm chair, looking rather pale. "Mom, are you coming to eat?"

"Yea, Natasha, you should eat something to keep your strength up," Kim tells her as she also looks over in worry.

Natasha waves her hand back to her family. "I'll be there, I'm just waiting until everything is set up. I…I'm not feeling so great this morning."

"Mom? Are you okay?" Jacob asks as he moves into the living room with the bags of food in his hands.

"Not really," Natasha replies to him. "I'm … I must be coming down with something. I'm sure I'll be fine in a day or two."

"Well, come on," Jacob tells her quickly. "Come have some food, you might feel better afterwards?"

Natasha slowly nods back to him. "You're right, you're all right," she says as she stands up from the arm chair. However, as soon as she stands up, she collapses to the ground!

"Mom!" Sophie squeals in horror as Jacob rushes over to his mother.

"Mom! Mom! Can you hear me?" Jacob asks her as he shakes her a little to try to get her to regain consciousness. "My God, someone call 911!"
