"Doctor, how is Quinn?" Kent asks the male doctor, who is standing outside of Quinn's hospital room.

The doctor looks back at Kent and then closes the file in front of him. "She got very lucky," he tells Kent. "If she had been going any faster, her injuries would have been far worse."

"Does that mean that she will be okay?"

"It does," the doctor nods back to him. "She has a minor concussion, but otherwise she will make a full recovery."

"Oh, thank God," Kent breathes a sigh of relief. "Thank you for everything that you've done, I really appreciate it, and I know her mother does too."

"It's my pleasure," the doctor tells him. "You can visit her, but if she needs to sleep, let her. The more rest she gets the better."

"Understood, thanks again doctor."

Celeste Baldwin opens a side door of the Rockwell Mansion and peers outside to ensure no one is able to see her. Once she realizes that the coast is clear, she moves outside and sees Marat Kafelinkov standing up against the house.

"Are you sure you heard correctly?" he asks her as she moves up to her former lover. "Quinn was in a car accident?"

"That's what I heard," Celeste nods back to him. "Apparently, she will be fine though. But I think they want to keep in her the hospital to ensure she doesn't have a concussion."

"Well, then," Marat looks back at her with intent. "This is my chance, this is our chance, Celeste. Take me inside and let me see my kids. I want to see Jumper, Ivan, and Ashlee. Can you help me see my kids the way we agreed too?"

Celeste uneasily nods back to him. "Now is a good time because the family is at Rockwell Mining working on this big launch. Well, Lex is home, but he will be leaving soon."

"We'll be quiet and use the back stairs then?"

"Okay, let's go," Celeste tells him. "But Marat, we have to be careful. If you're caught…"

"Don't worry, no one will ever know that you're helping me see my kids, Celeste."

Lexington Rockwell paces back and forth in the study of the Rockwell mansion as his mind is racing about the fact that he overheard his fiancé, Casper Ross, on his phone earlier stating that he didn't the caller to call him anymore because it was too risky. Lex has no idea who Casper could be telling not to contact him but considering this isn't the first odd phone call he has heard, Lex is wondering what his fiancé could be hiding from him.

"What the hell is going on?" he asks himself in a whispered voice. "Why do I get the feeling that he still hiding something from me? And what is it?"

He turns when he hears a noise in the hallway. He rushes over to the door and sees Casper putting his jacket on and moving quickly towards the stairs. He arches his eyebrow and realizes that he could follow his fiancé to see where he is going. He waits a moment until Casper is on the stairs before he leaves the study and rushes towards the stairs. He waits until Casper is opening the front door before he walks down the stairs. Outside, he sees Casper moving around the house to go to towards the backyard.

"Where the hell is he going?" Lex asks himself as he continues to follow Casper, who moves into the boathouse. "The boathouse? Is he going on the water?"

Lex rushes up to the boathouse and peers through the small window and gasps in shock and horror as he can see Casper and Grant Shaw in a lip lock.

"Grant?" he asks himself in confusion. "What the hell is Grant doing kissing Casper?"

Cole Rockwell paces back and forth in the living room of the Blackmore mansion as his former girlfriend, Madison Stewart, is fast asleep on the sofa. He arrived to see his son, Rocky, and was horrified to see him crying and Madi fast asleep. He was able to get Rocky to calm down, but he is furious with Madi for falling asleep while taking care of their child.

He pauses when he hears Madi make a slight noise on the sofa. He can see that she is starting to wake up. Madi, then, does open her eyes. It takes her a moment to realize where she is, but then she jolts up on the sofa in a panic.

"Rocky?" she asks as she looks over and sees Cole. "Where's Rocky? I…I can't believe that I fell asleep!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Cole asks her. "When I got here, Rocky was crying at the top of his lungs, and you were passed out! What were you thinking?"

"I…I don't know what came over me," Madi admits to him. "It's…it's not like me at all. My God, is Rocky okay?"

"He's fine," Cole huffs back to her. "I calmed him down and put him down to bed. Madi, this is really concerning to me."

"I'm so sorry," Madi gets tears in her eyes. "I really have no idea what happened."

"Well, it can't happen again! You can't just pass out while Rocky needs you."

"I know. I don't know what happened. I…I had a glass of wine and then I just fell asleep."

Cole moves over the wine glass and arches his eyebrow. "That's really weird," he says as he picks up the glass. "There's some kind of residue in the glass."

Madi takes the wine glass from Cole's hands and studies it. "Yea, like a white ring at the bottom of the glass. But Cole, I was drinking red wine. What the hell is going on here?"

Cole shrugs back to her. "Do you think you were drugged? Do you think someone slipped something into your wine?"

"I have no idea," she gasps at the idea. "But who would do this to me? And why?"

Celeste opens the door to the nursery that it in the Rockwell mansion and she moves inside, where she sees her children, Ashlee and Ivan, playing on the floor while baby Jumper crawls towards them. The sight gets a smile on her face as she loves being a mother.

"Hi everyone," Celeste smiles as she bends down while Ashlee and Ivan come up and hug her.

"Mommy, mommy, come play with us?" Ivan asks her as she chuckles back to him.

"I have a surprise for you three," Celeste reveals to them as the kid's eyes get larger. "But we have to keep it a secret. Do you think you can do that?"

"We can keep a secret!" Ashlee explains back to her mother. "We won't tell anyone! What is it? Some candy?"

"It's better than candy," Celeste tells them, as Marat appears behind her. "Daddy is here."

Ashlee and Ivan get huge smiles on heir face as she rush up to Marat. "Daddy! You're home!" Ashlee says.

"Hey kiddos," Marat bends down and hugs them. "It's so good to see you."

"We missed you Daddy," Ivan tells him as they exit their embrace and Marat moves to pick up Jumper.

"I missed you guys too, but your Mommy was right, no one can know that I came to visit you, okay? Pinky swear?"

"Pinky swear," Ashlee replies to her father, as Celeste and Marat make eye contact with other, thrilled that their plan is working.

Lydia Rockwell takes a deep breath as she prepares to open the door to the main office at Rockwell Mining. She, and the rest of the Rockwell Mining team, still have a lot to do before the launch of the Pink Roses campaign, but she just hopes that her former husband, Mac Rockwell, is not inside the office because earlier she saw him having intensely hot sex with Cassie Nova, whom he just hired at the company. The sight was a shock to her as she had hoped that with her sister, Sabine Andrews, out of the picture, she and Mac might reunite, especially since her marriage to Nathan Lockhart is coming to an end. Now, she has no idea what Mac is doing with his life; is he over Sabine? How serious is he with Cassie?

"I need a drink," Lydia says as she opens the office door and moves inside. She freezes when she sees Mac sitting behind his desk with his laptop open. He looks up and sees Lydia entering the office.

"I'm glad you're here, we have a million things to do today," Mac tells her as she makes a beeline for the bar.

"Yes, we do," Lydia agrees with him. "I would have been here sooner, but it seems like this office was in use."

Mac arches his eyebrow back to her. "Lydia, I can tell by the tone in your voice that something is going on with you. So, what is it? We don't have time today to play these games."

Lydia takes a drink of her brandy before she firmly sets the glass down and looks back at him. "You're sleeping with Cassie Nova?" she shrieks at him. "What the hell are you thinking?"

Mac looks back at her in surprise as he didn't realize that she had seen them. "Lydia…How did you? Never mind, it doesn't matter how you found out."

"I have a key to the office, remember? I'm your co-CEO!"

"Cassie and I, well, we have an attraction Lydia," Mac replies to her quickly. "Did we make love? Yes, we did. As two consenting adults, that is allowed you know."

"Ugh, spare me that bullshit," Lydia tells him. "What about Sabine? I thought you were in love with my sister."

"Sex and love are two different things," Mac informs her. "I'm a man with needs; I have no idea if or when Sabine is coming back. Look, I don't know why you're so upset about this. You're a grown woman that can do whatever, or whomever, you please. And the same goes with me."

"So, what is going to happen next with you and Cassie?" Lydia asks before she takes a sip of her drink.

"I don't know," Mac admits to her. "We don't have any concrete plans. We are just going with the flow, okay? Now, can we please drop this discussion and get back to work?"

"Fine," Lydia hisses back to him. "But I don't like this, Mac. Not one bit."

***

A short time later, Lydia is sitting on the sofa with her laptop open and she is working away while Mac is still behind his desk. The tension in the room is thick as Lydia is still furious that Mac has moved on with Cassie; the truth is, she is jealous that Mac with another woman and not her.

"It's awfully quiet in here for two people that are working on a launch party," Lucinda Rockwell announces as she moves into the office.

Mac stands up to greet his mother. "Mother, hi," he says as he kisses her cheek. "Lydia and I are just wrapped up in our pieces of the project. What brings you by?"

Lucinda sighs back to him as she sets her purse down on the desk before she puts her hand on her hip. "When was the last time you spoke Levi?"

Mac arches his eyebrow back to her as Lydia moves up next to him. "This morning at breakfast, why?"

"There's been some developments with him," she reveals to them. "I ran into him at the country club, and he was with Dyhannah Cooper."

"I didn't realize they were close," Lydia says back to her.

"They are more than close," Lucinda sighs back to them. "That barracuda has sunk her claws into Levi."

"What do you mean by that, mother?"

"Nathan and Dyhannah, God I can barely say this without wanting to vomit," Lucinda replies to them. "They are sleeping together. They are lovers!"

"What?" Mac gasps in shock and horror. "My brother and half-sister are sleeping together?"

"I'm afraid so," Lucinda replies to him. "Thankfully, because of the odd bloodline, they aren't actually related."

"That doesn't matter," Lydia shakes her head back to her. "This is a disaster, an absolute disaster."

***
A short time later, the Rockwell's, except for Lex, all stand in the main office of Rockwell Mining, with Cole's friend, Lyzz Thornton, who just told everyone that she has spoken to her Aunt, Orvilla, and she has agreed to have the launch of the Pink Roses at the Barracuda Blue in Maui, Hawaii.

"Your Aunt is very generous," Mac chuckle to Lyzz as he pats Cole on the back, knowing his son was the one who put this all into motion. "I will have to thank you when we get to Maui."

"Cole and I go way back," Lyzz looks at her friend. "Once I found out that he wanted to use the resort as the venue, I did everything I could to help."

"You have no idea how much I appreciate that," Cole moves up to her and hugs her. "We are going to have a great time in Maui!"

"Yes, you we will," Lyzz responds to him. "You'll get to meet my fiancé too. He will be there."

"He's a very lucky man," Lydia tells her as she looks at the large diamond ring on Lyzz's finger. "And what a beautiful ring."

"Thank you," Lyzz tells her. "This is going to be fantastic, our families coming together for a huge launch! I can't wait, I really can't wait!"

***

Lex continues to peer through the small window of the boathouse as he looks on in shock at the sight of Casper, his fiancé, kissing Grant Shaw. He hasn't seen Grant in years, since they ended their relationship, so the fact that Casper is with him is mind boggling.

"What the hell is actually going on here?" Lex asks himself. "Not only is Casper, my fiancé, kissing another man, he's kissing Grant, of all people! When did he get back in Kelsey Lake?"

He moves back from the window and runs his hand through his hair. "No, I can't let this go on! I have to find out what the hell is happening here."

He turns and rushes back towards the boathouse and opens the door, interrupting Casper and Grant's kiss. "What the hell is going on here?" Lex asks as he grits his teeth together. "Casper? You're sleeping with Grant?"

***

The front door of the Rockwell mansion opens, and Kent slowly moves into the foyer with his arm around Quinn. She was just discharged from the hospital and Kent brought her back to the mansion so she can continue to rest and get better.

"Thanks for all your help getting me home," Quinn tells Kent as they move towards the stairs in the foyer. "I…I had them call you because I didn't know who else to call with my Mom still being in New York."

"You don't have to thank me," Kent replies to her. "I'm happy to do it. Can you answer me something though?"

"I'll try."

"Why were you speeding? What cause you to be so reckless?" Kent asks her, wondering why she crashed her car.

Quinn gulps back to him as she knows that she saw Kent kissing Cassie, which left her upset and distraught. That's the real reason that she crashed the car.

"There will be time for me to explain to you," she finally replies to him. "Right now, I just want to go see my son. I want to hold Jumper and tell him that I love him."

"That makes sense," Kent winks back to her. "But I am here for you, if you want to talk about the crash."

"Okay," Quinn says back to him as they start walking towards Jumper's bedroom. They arrive and open the door and move inside. Quinn moves towards the crib, and she freezes when he's not there.

"Jumper, he's gone?" she looks back at Kent with worry. "Where the hell is my son?"

***

Madi quickly moves up to the bar in the living room of the Blackmore mansion and pours herself a brandy. She quickly takes a hearty sip of it as she tries to think about how the white substance ended up in her wine glass. It clearly made her pass out, which impacted her ability to watch Rocky.

"I keep thinking that someone must have drugged me," she whispers to herself. "But who would do that? And why? Ever since Cole left for his meeting at Rockwell Mining, I haven't been able to think of anything else, but I still haven't been able to think of who would do this to me."

She sets her glass down when she hears the doorbell ring. She moves out of the living room and into the foyer towards the front door. She sees Cole standing on the other side of the door.

"Cole," Madi welcomes him into the house. "I wasn't expecting to see you again."

"The meeting at Rockwell wrapped and I was worried about you," he admits to her. "Have you thought about who could have drugged you?"

Suddenly, Madi looks at Cole with shock and horror. "I…I just realized who it was. I know who drugged me."

"Who?" Cole asks her.

"Celeste," Madi shocks him by her theory. "I think Celeste drugged me."

"Celeste?" Cole asks in surprise. "Why would Celeste drug you?"

"It makes perfect sense," Madi looks back at him. "Think about it, I've been calling you over lately to help with Rocky; while Celeste hasn't said anything, I know that she likely isn't happy about it; what if she did this to make me look bad? I mean, you did show up here and Rocky was crying. Yea, the more I think about this, the more I'm convinced that your girlfriend drugged me."

***

Stacey places her hand on her stomach as she looks into the large flames that are roaring in the fireplace in the living room of the guesthouse that she lives in with her children. She is trying to process the fact that she is, once again, pregnant with Houston's baby. She can't believe that she was silly enough to sleep with him and not take any form of birth control.

"What am I going to do?" she whispers to herself. "I can barely handle Drake and Poppy on my own; I…I can't have another child alone. Especially with everything happening at Rockwell Mining right now; I have so much to do with the launch coming up."

She lets a single tear fall down her cheek as she turns away from the fire and moves to the sofa where she grabs her purse and pulls her out IPhone. She takes a deep breath as she makes a phone call.

"Yes, this is Stacey Rockwell," she says into her phone. "I need to make an appointment, and I need it as soon as possible."

***

"Someone better start talking! What the hell is going on here?" an angry Lex demands to know as Casper and Grant look back at him as they stand in the boathouse. "Are you sleeping with Grant behind my back?"

Casper gulps back to him. "I…I can explain…"

Lex looks closer at Grant and Casper and gasps when he sees the ring on Grant's left finger. "You're married, Grant? Since when?"

"Hello to you too, Lex," Grant chuckles back to him. "It's been a while, how are you? Oh me, I'm fine."

"Shut up and tell me what the fuck is happening here!"

"Babe, listen," Casper moves closer to Lex. "This is all a mistake, okay?"

"Don't babe me," Lex shakes his head back to him. "You were playing me, weren't you? You and Grant, you're married? And what? You were going to try to get my money? Is that why you asked me to pay for the wedding? Oh my God, this is all making sense now…"

"Just let me explain!" Casper pleads with him.

"Okay, I've had enough of this," Grant says as he reaches behind his back and pulls a gun out from his pants. "Lex, shut the fuck up before I shut you up!"

Lex looks back in worry as the barrel of the gun points at him as Grant gets a sly grin on his face and Casper starts to go pale.

***

"Okay, let's not panic just yet, okay?" Kent tries to calm Quinn down, who is worried that her son, Jumper, has been kidnapped again. "Just because Jumper isn't in his room, doesn't mean he is missing, right? We can talk to the nanny and see if he's with her or Ivan and Ashlee."

"You're right," Quinn nods back to him, trying to stay positive. "He could be in the house. I…I just had a bad feeling about this…"

Kent opens the door to Jumper's bedroom and sees the nanny, Lauralee walking by. "Lauralee, I'm glad I found you," Kent tells her. "We are looking for Jumper. Is he with Ivan and Ashlee?"

"No, I'm afraid not," she nanny replies to him, as Quinn comes and covers her mouth. "They are in the nursey; I was just coming to see if Jumper was awake so he could join them. Is he not in his room?"

"No!" Quinn cries back to her. "Where is my son? Where is Jumper?!"

***

Cole storms in the country club and sees Celeste sitting at the bar with a vodka martini in front of her. He sighs as he starts to move up to his girlfriend, hoping that Madi is wrong about Celeste being the one to drug her. Still, he has to get to the truth.

"Oh Cole, do you want to join me for a drink?" Celeste asks him when she sees Cole approaching her.

"No, I'm good," he says as he sits next to her. "Look, Celeste, I have to ask you something. And, I need you to be honest with me."

Celeste purses her lips together. "Of course," she looks back at him. "I wouldn't lie to you, Cole. What is this all about?"

"I went to see Madi and Rocky earlier," he reveals to her. "And when I got there, Madi was passed out on the sofa and Rocky was crying at the top of his lungs."

"What?" Celeste gasps back to him. "What kind of mother would do that?"

"That's the thing," Cole looks back at her with intent. "We realized that Madi was drugged; there was some residue in her glass."

"Who would do that to her?" Celeste gulps back to him before she takes a sip of her vodka.

"We were both racking our brains thinking about that," Cole tells her. "And Madi had a realization; you are the one that would gain the most from Madi looking like a bad mother. So, I have to ask you, Celeste, did you drug Madi? Did you drug the mother of my son?"

***

Lucinda moves to the bar in the living room of the Rockwell mansion and is about to pour herself a brandy when the French doors to the garden open and a young man emerges. Lucinda arches her eyebrow at the sight of the gardener, as they don't normally enter those doors, especially since they get dirty.

"Oh Mrs. Rockwell," he looks at her with a flushed face. "I'm actually glad I ran into you, or someone."

"What is going on Lenny?" Lucinda sternly replies to him, not amused that he is in the living room.

"I wanted to bring it your attention," Lenny tells her. "I…I heard yelling in the boathouse. It startled me as I didn't think anyone was out there. I don't know who it is, but I wanted you to know."

"The boathouse?" Lucinda arches her eyebrow. "Thank you for letting me know. I will investigate the matter."

***

Quinn covers her mouth as she is about to let out a sob as she is worried that someone has, again, taken Jumper from her. She peers down the long hallway in the Rockwell mansion and can see Kent talking to a police officer about her missing son. She feels like she has been kicked in the stomach; she just got Jumper back from Marat, who had kidnapped him and whisked him away to Moscow. To have him missing again so soon feels like a devastating blow.

Suddenly, behind her, the door to the basement slowly opens and Marat appears! Quinn turns and sees him, her eyes opening wider in horror. Immediately, however, Marat covers her mouth from screaming and he grabs her down the stair well!

Once they are in the basement, she wiggles herself free. "What the hell are you doing here? How did you get out of jail?"

Marat chuckles back to her. "I have my ways," he winks back to her. "But being here, being with my children, I realize that this has to end Quinn. We…we have to come to an agreement on Jumper; he needs me and I, well, I need him. Can we, somehow, call a truce and move forward?"

"A truce?" Quinn squeals back to him. "You kidnapped my son and took him to Moscow, where you kidnapped my mother and killed Deacon! No, Marat, there is no coming back from that. My son, he needs to stay as far away from you as possible!"

***

Mac and Lydia move into the country club looking to grab an early dinner before they head back to Rockwell Mining to complete the finishing touches on the Pink Roses launch. The tension between them has remained high all day as Lydia is still furious with him for sleeping with Cassie, but she has to try to put that aside right now because they have so much to do with the launch.

As they move into the dining room, they freeze when they see Dyhannah and Nathan sitting together. Mac looks at Lydia and rolls his eyes, knowing that Lucinda has revealed to them that they are sleeping together.

"Well, well, well," Mac announces as he moves up to the table. "Doesn't this look cozy."

Nathan and Dyhannah sets their wine glasses down and look up at Mac and Lydia. "I'm surprised to see you here, I thought you'd be knees deep in the Pink Roses launch," Nathan smiles back to his brother.

"Mother told us about this little romance of yours," Mac ignores Nathan's comments about Rockwell Mining. "You're playing with fire brother."

"Don't worry about Nathan," Dyhannah purrs. "We are going to take good care of each other; after well, we have so many similarities."

Lydia chuckles. "I'm sure you do."

"We both lost children too soon," Dyhannah sneers back at her. "That is something you, hopefully, will never have to understand."

"Dyhannah and I are just exploring our options right, and we happen to think that being together is the perfect way for both of us to get back on top," Nathan tells his brother. "We both need that."

"Good luck with that," Mac tells them. "Because Nathan, if you mean that, being involved with this woman will do the exact opposite for you, trust me."

***

"Please, Quinn," Marat continues to plead with his former lover as they stand in the basement of the Rockwell mansion. "Just hear me out, okay? You made mistakes too, and I know I did."

"Mistakes?" she shrieks back to him. "You call killing Deacon a mistake? My God Marat, you're a monster!"

"Quinn?" Kent's voice is heard on the stairwell. "What the hell are you doing down here?" he asks before he sets his eyes on Marat. "Kafelinkov! I should have known!"

Marat tries to make a run for it, but Kent catches up to him and grabs him. "Where's Jumper, you son of a bitch?!"

Marat starts to choke as Kent puts him a headlock. Suddenly, three police officers, that Kent was talking too upstairs, appear.

"He was trying to kidnap my son again! Please, you have to stop him!" Quinn points to Marat.

The police arrive and Kent released Marat from his hold. "You have the right to remain silent…" the police start to tell Marat, as the handcuffs get placed on his wrists.

Kent rushes up to Quinn and hugs her. "Did he hurt you?"

"No, I'm fine," she tells him. "Thank you, you saved me from him. We still have to find Jumper."

"I think this little guy wants his Mom," one of the police officers tell Quinn as they pass him Jumper. "We found him in the laundry basket over there."

"Oh Jumper," Quinn holds her son as a tear fills her eye before she looks at Kent. "Thank you, Kent."

Kent leans in and kisses her on her lips. "Of course, Quinn. Of course."

***

A short time later, Kent opens the door to the main office at Blackmore Ltd. and moves inside. He heads straight to the bar as he feels like he needs a drink after all the excitement that happened with Quinn and Marat. He didn't want to leave Quinn, but she insisted that he return to work as she wanted to spend time with Jumper.

He turns around when he hears his office door open and he sees Nathan, Dyhannah, and Cassie all enter. "We would all love a drink with you," Dyhannah chuckles to him. "I think we have cause for celebration."

"Is that so?" Kent asks her. "What are we celebrating?"

"Well, based on the information that I got from Rockwell Mining, we have booked some flights to Maui," Cassie explains to him. "Kent, you and I will head to Maui; Dyhannah and Nathan will stay back and support us from here. But you and I, we will ensure the launch is a huge failure."

"And then I will be able to over as CEO of Rockwell Mining," Nathan says as Kent passes him a drink. "And I can finally throw Mac to the curb."

"We will all win," Dyhannah raises her glass as the other three also raise their glasses. "To making sure this launch fails."

They toast and then take a sip of their drinks, all excited by what is about to happen at the Barracuda Blue.

***
Houston steps off the elevator at Rockwell Mining and makes a beeline towards Stacey's office. He is desperate to try to make her understand that they belong together; after everything that they have been through, the last thing he wants is for their relationship to be over because of something that happened months ago.

"Stace, we have to talk," he announces as he opens the door to the office and moves inside. He quickly realizes that she's not in the office. "Where the hell are you? You haven't been answering your phone either?"

He moves to the desk and happens to look down into the trash can. He arches his eyebrow as he bends down and picks up the item that caught his eye. "My God, you're pregnant!" he says as he looks at the pregnancy test. "That means…we are going to have another baby together!"

He looks at the desk, where Stacey has her laptop open, after the computer makes a ping noise. He looks at the screen, which is showing a reminder. "Appointment at the Women's Clinic".

"No, Stacey, no!" Houston gets a look of horror on his face as he rushes out of the office.

***

A few minutes later, Houston is pulling his red Ferrari up to the Women's Clinic as he feels his heart racing a million miles a second in his chest. He is hoping that he is able to stop Stacey from having an abortion, which is what he is assuming that she is doing. He can't bare the thought of her terminating her pregnancy because of their relationship woos.

He opens the door to his car and climbs out and starts to move towards the clinic, but he freezes when he sees Stacey sitting on a bench outside of the clinic, with her hands over her face. He rushes up too her quickly.

"Stacey," he says as he arrives at the bench.

Stacey looks up with red eyes as she has been crying. "Houston? What…what are you doing here?"

"I found the pregnancy test in your office," he reveals to her as he sits next to her. "And then, I saw the appointment reminder on your computer…I…I thought you were going to end the pregnancy."

"That's what my appointment was for," she reveals to him as another tear falls down her cheek.

"Oh God," Houston groans. "I got here too late. You…"

"No," Stacey looks at him and shakes her head. "I…I couldn't go through with it. I couldn't end the pregnancy, Houston. I'm still pregnant with your baby."

"Thank God," Houston breathes a sigh of relief. "I don't want anything to come between us, Stacey. I want to be with you and for us to raise this baby together."

"I…I want that too, more than you'll ever know," she whispers to him as she leans in and kisses him on the lips.

***

Mac and Lydia open the door to the main office at Rockwell Mining and usher inside. They barely ate their dinner because they know they are wrapping up the final touches of the launch. And after their run-in with Dyhannah and Nathan, the last thing they wanted to do was stay in their company.

"What do you think Nathan meant?" Lydia asks Mac as she pours herself a brandy. "That he wants to get back on top?"

"Very good question," Mac chuckles back to her. "I am hoping that he just wants to reclaim his life after being in the hospital for so long."

"I hope that's all it is," Lydia replies to him. "There is something…off with him since he's been back and I can't place my finger on it."

"Let's not focus on that right now," Mac looks at her. "We are thin close, Lydia, to finishing the touches on this launch, and it is going to put Rockwell Mining in a league of it's own."

"I'll drink to that MacKenzie," Lydia purses her lips together. "Let's make the Pink Roses launch the best thing that's ever happened to this company!"

***

Lucinda storms down the pathway from the Rockwell mansion towards the boathouse. She doesn't know who or what is happening in the boathouse, but it is not like staff to be concerned about yelling or a fight that is breaking out on the property.

"Whatever this is, they will rule the day they messed with me," she huffs as she gets closer to the property.

Meanwhile, inside the boathouse, Casper looks at Grant in horror as he continues to point the gun at Lex. "Grant, what are you doing? This wasn't ever part of the plan!"

"So, there was a plan?" Lex asks him quickly. "I knew it!"

"Shut up!" Grant yells at him. "I told you this is over, this ends now!"

Suddenly, the door to the boathouse opens and Lucinda appear. "What the hell is this?" she asks stunned by the sight unfolding.

Unfortunately, Lucinda's arrival startles Grant and he points the gun at Lucinda and fires three times! Lucinda looks down and sees blood oozing out of her chest.

"Nana!" Lex screams in horror as Lucinda's body crumbles to the ground in a pool of blood.
