Twin Peaks General Hospital

"I just got an update on Kim," Greg announces as he moves into the waiting room of the hospital and catches Andy, Robbie, Madeline and Abby's attention. They have all been waiting for Kim to get out of surgery, as Greg discovered her bloody body as she had been shot. Now, they just hope that Greg's news is good because they don't know what they would do if something has happened to Kim.

"How is my sister? Please tell me that the surgery was a success," a nervous Andy moves closer to him.

"She survived surgery," Greg reveals to everyone, as they room breathes a sigh of relief. "She's still in the ICU because she lost a lot of blood, but the doctors were able to remove the bullets and stop the bleeding for now."

"What does that mean, for now?" Robbie asks him quickly.

"It means, she is very weak and is still in critical condition," Greg explains to him, trying to remain strong. "But the fact is, she did lose a lot of blood so…"

"So what are you saying? Kim won't make it?" Madeline asks next as she grabs Robbie's hand.

"It is touch and go right now," Greg admits to them. "The doctors, they believe the next 24 to 48 hours will be critical."

"Can we see her?" Andy asks next.

"One visitor at a time," Greg nods back to him. "So, if you don't mind, I'd like to go in first. Andy, you can go in after me?"

"Let's go," Andy says as they all start to follow Greg as they walk towards Kim's hospital room.

The Calimo Cabin

"I think we should spend most of the day going through the files that we took from Raven's Meadow," Eva tells Will, Bryce and Victoria as they sit in the living room of the Calimo cabin, just as they finished breakfast. "The sooner that we try to find uncover some information on Frederick, the sooner we can return to our normal lives."


Victoria smiles back to her mother as she takes a sip of her latte, which she was able to make because the kitchen as an espresso machine in it. One thing about staying at the cabin is that the Calimo's sparred no expense on the furnishings. "I couldn't agree more. I am so eager to get back to Donovan and help him find Olly."


"I still can't believe my grandson is missing and no one has been able to find him," Eva says, trying not to worry. "And who knows what else has gone on while I've been away."


"There is never a dull moment in Twin Peaks, that is for sure," Will chuckles to them. "But I am definitely game to go through those files; anything I can do to help you two get back to your normal lives."


"Bryce? Are you okay? You've been pretty quiet this morning," Eva notes over to him, as Victoria makes eye contact with her husband.


"I'm fine," he replies to her with an uneasily smile on his face. "I guess it is just hitting me how much I did hurt you and Victoria and I have no idea how I can make that up to you two."


"You can start by going through these files," Victoria winks back to him as she passes him as stack of the files and the foursome start to read the material that is in the files in front of them.

The Bellagio Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada


"I haven't had that much food in a long time," Ethan chuckles as he opens the large suite that he and Paige are staying at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas. The two of them escaped to Sin City for an escape after he was feeling upset by the fact that Abby told him that they had to stay away from one another; he knows that he had hoped that they would be able to explore their mutual attraction to one another but because of how it was being perceived that they were having an affair, including by Paige, Abby suggested that they not see each other anymore.


"Ooh, the buffet!" Paige giggles back to him as she puts her hand on her stomach. "I don't know if that was the best idea we've had."


Ethan continues to laugh with her. "I don't think I will need to eat again today!"


"Ditto, but I'd be up for some drinks, what do you say? There's a nice bar close to here call the Chandelier, they have the best cocktails."


"I am impressed," Ethan looks back at her. "I was expecting you to say you'd want to go to the Vanderpump restaurant cause you like the Housewives."


"Oh, trust and believe, I've been there," she winks back to him. "I didn't think it was your scene though."


Ethan looks back at her in surprise. "That's really kind of you," he admits to her. "We can go wherever you want, but I agree, drinks are in order."


"Are you starting to feel any better?" She asks him quickly. "I know you were upset by Abby's decision."


"I am feeling better," he nods to her. ""But honestly, it will still take some time, you know? You don't get over feelings just like that."


"So, you, uh, did have feelings for Abby?"


"I did," he admits to her. "I know that she's married; she always was when we were hanging out, but I still couldn't help but have an attraction to her. I don't know what it will take to make that go away."


"You need a rebound," she chuckles back to him. "It doesn't even having to be serious, you just need to get it out of your system, then you'll be fine, Ethan."


He nods back to her. "Maybe I do need to get it out of my system. But that might take a few times to get it right," he winks back to her as Paige blushes back to him.


The Black House; Helen & Dawn's Home


Outside in the backyard, Helen remains tied to a chair that is in Dawn's old treehouse. She looks around and realizes that she must have fallen asleep in the chair because the rain storm has stopped and there is sun light now. She looks around but doesn't see any sign of Dale, which worries her because she has no idea where he is or what he is doing.

"I still can't believe that he tried to kill my daughter," she says inside her head, as she still has a mouth gag around her. "How could he do that? He played me for a fool! He never wanted to marry me, he only wanted some sick revenge for Mallory's death. How could have I been so stupid?" She asks herself as she gets tears in her eyes as she thinks about how Dawn is fighting for her life in the hospital. "My daughter means everything to me! And that son of a bitch has to pay for what he has done."


Her eyes dark over towards the entrance of the treehouse when she hears someone walking up the latter. Dale, then, appears with a grin on his face. "Good morning my stunning fiancé," he grins to her. "How'd you sleep? I hope you were comfortable."


He moves closer to her and looks her in the eyes. "I'm going to lower the gag," he whispers to her. "I have food and water for you, but if you dare scream, I will kill you," he says as he reveals a pocket knife in his hand, which makes Helen's eyes open wider in surprise. She nods back to him, so Dale lowers the gag down.


"Please...Dale..." she pleads with him before she starts to drink some of the bottled water. "Let me go; I ... I won't say anything to anyone about what has happened between us ... "


"Nice try, Helen. You're not going anywhere."


"Don't you understand?" She cries back to him. "The longer I am away from the hospital, the longer I am away from Dawn, the more people are going to suspect that something is very wrong," she tells him. "Add that to the fact that Simona is running those tests and ... this won't end well for you!"


"Shut up," Dale snaps back at her. "I told you, I'm not letting you go, so you better get damn used to being in here because you'll only leave when I decide the time is right to kill you."


Twin Peaks General Hospital


Adam paces back and forth in Dawn's hospital room while his daughter gets some rest. He is still so grateful that she is awake and, seemingly, on the mend from the hit and run accident. What is currently on his mind, however, is the fact that he, still, hasn't heard back from Helen; he knows that something isn't right because there is no way that Helen wouldn't be in touch with Dawn in the hospital; the fact that she hasn't been around to even see Dawn is another troubling sign that something is going on.


"Simona told me that Dale must have been the one to hit Dawn with his car," Adam recalls his conversation with the police detective. "The last time I was at the house, it looked like there might have been a fight, with the skid marks on the ground; that means that Helen could be in danger if she has figured out the truth. I have to find her before it's too late."


"But where could she be? Where could the woman I love be?" He asks him as he looks at Dawn and realizes what he just said. "My God, it's true. The mother of my child; the woman that has been in my life for so long, is the woman hat I love. I need to find her and tell her how I feel; I have to save her from Dale."


***

Greg, meanwhile, slowly opens the door to Kim's hospital room and moves inside. He can see his fiancé resting in her bed; he can't believe, still, that someone shot her twice and left her for dead in his mansion. He, also, has no idea where Traci, the maid, as he found Kim in the maid's bedroom.


He moves closer to Kim's bed and sits next to her as he grabs her hand. "Kim, can yo hear me sweetheart?"


Kim slowly opens her eyes and looks around the room before she sets her eyes on Greg. "Ggggreeeg?" She asks with a hoarse voice. "Whhhatttt hhhapppened?"


"Don't worry about that," Greg replies to her quickly. "The only thing that matters is that you're in the hospital and you're getting the best care possible."


"It....it hurrrrts," she tells him as she gets tears in her eyes.


"I know baby, but the doctors are doing everything that they can for you, just know that, okay?" He tells her as he tries not to cry back with her. "You're strong, you're going to pull through this."


"I...I feeeeel weakkkk," she tells him as she closes her eyes. When she opens her eyes, she looks over Greg's shoulder and can see into the hallway of the hospital, where she sees Andy and Robbie hugging one another. "Issss thatttt Robbieeee?"


Greg looks over his shoulder and sees Robbie in the hallway. "Yea, Robbie and Andy, they are both here Kim. We aren't leaving your side, okay?"


Kim nods back to him as she closes her eyes again. "I...I wannnnnt to seeee Robbieeee....looooove him....."


Greg gulps heavily back to her as he listens to his fiancé admit that she still loves Robbie. Part of him wonders if she is confused by the drugs that she is on but another part of him wonders if she has always loved him and getting engaged to him was just a way for her to try escape her feelings for him.


He is about to say something back to Kim, but he realizes that she has fallen asleep. "Please get some rest and come back to me," Greg tells her in a whisper. "Nothing else matters, Kim. Just as long as you come back to me."


The Calimo Mansion


The living room of the Calimo mansion has been transformed into the venue for Jacob and Isabelle's wedding. In the front row, Natasha sits in a wheelchair with Shane sitting next to her. They look at one another with an uneasy smile; they know that if everything goes accordingly to plan that within the next few hours, Jacob will be married to Isabelle and their plan to keep Jacob away from Cassie will have worked. Considering that Cory just passed away from a plane crash and they got word of Kim's shooting, they had many reasons to postpone the ceremony, but everyone agreed that they wanted to proceed so they can try to put some happiness back into the world.


"How are you feeling?" Shane asks his lover as they lock eyes.


"Honestly?" She replies to him quickly. "I will feel so much better once this is all over; once Jacob is married, I will know that Cassie can't do anything else to hurt this family."


"We have nothing to worry about," he replies to her. "We did it Nat; we got Cassie out of Jacob's life forever."


"By the way," Natasha looks back at him. "The answer is yes."


"Yes?"


"You asked me to marry you," she replies to him. "I didn't give you an answer but I am giving you one now. I want nothing more than to be a partner with you moving forward, Shane."


Shane smiles back to her quickly. "That is the best news I've had gotten all day."


***


Antonio feels his phone vibrate as he sits in his chair waiting for the ceremony to begin. He pulls his phone out of his blazer pocket and sees an incoming message from Robin.


He smiles as he unlocks his phone to view the text. "Thanks for the new roses; you didn't have too, but it's very kind of you."


He knows that he sent her more roses to show her that he is there for her while she mourns Cory; he knows that she is mourning but he also knows that he had someone tamper with the Calimo private jet before Cory was taking off to Switzerland. His goal was to remove Cory from Robin's life because he continues to believe that he and Robin could be very happy together if she gave him the chance.


He finds himself responding to her message. "You're most welcome; please remember that I am always here for you while you are grieving, you won't go through this alone - xo A".


He puts his phone away and gets a sly grin on his face. "You will be mine Robin. Just wait and see."


Just then, the wedding march begins and all eyes move to the back of the room where Isabelle appears in her wedding dress. At the front of the room, Jacob, who is in his tuxedo, feels his heart skip a beat at the sight of his future bride. They smile at one another as Isabelle slowly starts to make her way down the aisle.


Holdenville, Oklahoma, USA


A woman with long blonde hair pulls her hair into a pony trail as she stands in the kitchen of her small farm house. She looks around and realizes that she has to go outside and start feeling her farm animals.


She puts on a fleece red and black plaid jacket before she opens the screen door to her house and breathes in the fresh air.


"Alright, I guess I'll start with the barn," she tells herself as she moves forward. She thinks back to a few days earlier when she heard a loud crash not far from her house. To her surprise, she saw the remains of an airplane that has crashed down.


Immediately, she went to the crash and started to look for survivors, but, she wasn't able to see anyone at first. However, once she was able to get into the rumble, she found a person, who was barely alive.


She took him to the barn and has been caring for him. She has left him in the barn because she knows that her fiancé wouldn't be pleased that she is looking after a stranger, but she couldn't just leave him to die.


She opens the barn doors and moves inside. She immediately moves over to some of the bails of hay that the stranger is resting on under some heavy blankets. She looks at the man, who rolls over


"I am so glad that you're back," he says as they look at one another. Do yo have any water? I'm parched," the face of Cory asks her quickly, as the woman nods to him.
