MOSCOW, RUSSIA

"Well, well, well," Marat Kafelinkov's voice booms behind Quinn Cunningham and Deacon Cooper, who had broken into the basement of the Kremlin. They had arrived at the Kremlin in disguises in hopes of finding Sabine Andrew's, Quinn's mother, who was not responding to them, even though when she left, she had a wire on. They just saw Sabine tied to a chair, realizing that Marat has kidnapped her. Both Quinn and Deacon are feeling some guilt as they were in bed with one another instead of making attention to Sabine's wire. "Look what the cat has dragged in. Deacon, Quinn, it's been a while… how the hell are you?"

"Marat," Quinn takes her black wig off, revealing her long blonde hair. "This is crazy! You…you kidnapped my son! And now, you have my mother tied to a chair? What's happened to you? Why are you doing this?"

Marat chuckles back to her. "Do you even have to ask that?" he looks back at her. "You liked to me for months about being Jumper's son! And for what? You wanted Deacon to be the father because you're, like, obsessed with him!"

"Hey, Quinn and I care for one another," Deacon glares back at Marat. "At the time, she was trying to make us be a family."

"So now you're defending her and her actions? Unbelievable," Marat shakes his head in disgust. "You two are made for each other, you know that?"

"Marat, please," Quinn pleads with him. "Just tell me where Jumper is! Tell me where my son is!"

"OUR SON!" Marat yells back at her. "He's OUR son but you forget that, don't you? You have wanted me out the picture ever since you got pregnant, well guess what? I am not going anywhere, and I will not allow you to raise my son! You're nothing but a loose whore!"

Deacon punches Marat in the face, which causes him to fall back and to start bleeding. "You son of a bitch!" Marat grits his teeth before he starts to fight with Deacon.

"Stop it! Please stop it!" Quinn squeals as the men wrestle on the floor. Realizing that the men are not listening to her, Quinn rushes over to where Sabine is and starts to untie her mother from the chair.

"Thank God you're okay," Quinn tells her mother as she continues to untie the ropes that bound Sabine.

"We have to find Jumper," Sabine replies to her quickly, as they start to hear running on the caged walkways above them. They look up and see Deacon trying to escape his fight with Marat, but Marat corners him on the end of one of the walkways. Deacon looks back and realizes that he's trapped as he can't jump because below him is a bubble vat of acid.

"Marat, stop this," Deacon looks back at him. "It's over! We know you have Jumper and you kidnapped Sabine, you're going to jail for a very long time."

Marat glares back at him. "I am not going anywhere," he whispers back to him. "But you, you're going straight to hell."

Dane Ashby quickly moves into the living room of the Rockwell mansion and makes a beeline for the bar, where he starts to pour himself a scotch. His mind is racing over the fact that everyone in the Rockwell family seemingly has known that Lydia Rockwell hired a private investigator, Casper Ross, to investigate his past because she wanted to ensure he didn't have any dirty secrets in his closet. What is more troubling to him is that Lucinda Rockwell, his fiancé, has changed her mind about wanting to marry him; she has tried to delay him at every turn, so he is wondering if Lydia did uncover something that is causing Lucinda to reconsider her decision to get married.

"It seems like it is early to be drinking but I'd love one," Lucinda announces to her fiancé as she moves into the living room. "I just got off the phone with Levi's doctor and I'm afraid he's getting worse. He is now claiming that Lydia and Mac have set him up. These voices that he is hearing, they are making him sound absolutely crazy."

"I am sorry to hear that Lucinda," Dane replies to her as he passes her a glass of brandy. "Maybe the brandy will help calm your nerves."

"I hope so, my nerves are shot," she quips before she takes a sip of her drink.

"I know this might not be the best time considering your call with Nathan's doctors," Dane says as he sits next to her on the sofa. "But I need to talk to you about this damn investigation that Lydia paid for."

Lucinda sighs back to him heavily. "Must we discuss that?"

"Yes!" Dane protests back to her. "I can't help but wonder if Lydia's probing uncovered something and that is why you have been hesitant to get married! So, tell me, Lucinda, what the hell did Lydia and Casper tell you about me? I am not going to stop asking you until you tell me!"

***

Lydia Rockwell opens the door to the main office at Rockwell Mining and sees her former husband and co-CEO, MacKenzie Rockwell, sitting behind the desk as he types into his laptop. They have been working hard on their upcoming collaboration Roboto and Natasha Calimo, so she knows that he is very busy, they both are but in a good way.

"I know you're busy, but I just got a call from Helena Grant," she announces to her former husband as she moves closer to the desk.

Mac looks up from his laptop with a sly grin on his face. "Oh? Does she have an update on Dyhannah and Kent?" he asks her quickly, knowing that they provided his former lover with the proof that Dyhannah Cooper and Kent Blackmore were working together to try to steal the Roboto collaboration from Rockwell Mining so Blackmore Ltd. could try to get the deal. They ended up catching Dyhannah and Kent on the Rockwell Mining security footage, and their son, Lexington Rockwell, also took a picture of the Roboto file that Blackmore has; they presented this to the police, and they are awaiting to find out what is happening next.

"It does," Lydia smiles back to him. "Dyhannah was arrested last night at the country club. That bitch is behind bars!"

Mac gets a smile on his face at the news. "That is fantastic," he chuckles back to her. "It means that our plan worked! Has there been any update on Kent?"

"I'm afraid Helena will not be pressing charges against Kent," Lydia reveals to him. "The only thing he did was receive information, she doesn't feel like she can build enough of a case for him."

"That doesn't make me happy," Mac replies to her. "But at least we got Dyhannah. That woman is a barracuda!"

"I couldn't agree more," Lydia tells him. "And you know, Mac, this is just another example of how well we work together. We always have."

"I'll drink to that," Mac says back to her as he moves to the bar and starts to pull two drinks for him and his former wife.

***

"Please tell me that you believe me, Kent," Vivian Blackmore asks her husband as they stand in the living room of the Blackmore mansion. Vivian was just confronted by her husband, Kent Blackmore, for kissing her former husband, Chase Cooper. Vivian, however, knows that while they kissed, nothing else happened because Chase noted that he was still in love with Dyhannah and Vivian is happily married to Kent. In fact, she only made a pass at him to ensure that he wouldn't stray from his relationship with Dyhannah. "Nothing happened between Chase and I."

"The picture that I just showed you proves otherwise," Kent replies to her quickly. "You may say nothing happened, but I saw your lips on Chase's! And I, I really don't want to go round and round with you again on this, Vivian."

"We don't have to go around anything, Kent! I am telling you the truth! Nothing, absolutely nothing, happened between Chase and I!" she squeals back to him.

"You kissed him, Vivian! That is something! You can't just talk your way out of this!"

"What are you saying?" Vivian asks him as she moves closer to him.

"I want a divorce," Kent whispers back to her. "I don't want to be in a marriage where we are always kissing other people behind our backs. This marriage, it's over, Vivian. And there's nothing you can say or do that will make me change my mind," he tells her as she gets tears in her eyes.

***

Chase sits in a chair in the waiting room of the police station as he waits for Dyhannah to be brought to him. Since it was late when she was arrested, he had to wait until the morning to come see her, which he knows was probably difficult for her since she had to spend the night in jail. He just hopes that he can help her today because he doesn't want her spending a lot of time in jail.

"Dyhannah, thank God," he stands up when the guard brings Dyhannah closer to his table. "How did you sleep?"

"I don't think I did," she replies to him quickly. "I just kept thinking about what you and Vivian are doing behind my back, I wasn't even thinking about the mess that I am in."

"Oh Dyhannah," Chase sighs back to her. "Nothing happened, I can assure you of that. Did we kiss? Yes, but it ended there because I am in love with you, and she is married to Kent."

"The kiss didn't look like anything."

"Look, the most important thing right now is that I help you get out of jail. Once you're free, we can focus on our relationship and repairing it."

"No," Dyhannah gasps for air as she gets tears in her eyes. "I don't want your help. I know I asked you for it last night, but after what I saw between you and your ex-wife, I don't want anything from you, Chase. Not now, not ever."

"You don't mean that, Dyhannah! I am a damn good lawyer, I can help you with these serious charges!"

"I'd rather spend the rest of my life behind bars then take anything else from you," she spits back to him as she stands up. "Do not visit me again, we are over, for good this time, Chase."

***

A short time later, Dyhannah sighs to the guard, who is taking her back to the visiting room. She hopes that Chase hasn't returned and is going to try to convince her to take him back; the last thing she wants is to be with Chase after he was with Vivian again. To her surprise, she sees Mac waiting for her.

"What the hell do you want?" she sneers as she sits across from Mac. "Are you here to gloat?"

"Nope," Mac glares back at her. "I have a couple of things to tell you and you're going to hear me out."

"Fine, speak so this can be over."

"First, I am sure this won't come as a surprise," Mac looks back at her. "But you're fired."

"No shit," Dyhannah chuckles back to him. "I didn't want to work for your lousy company anyways."

"And secondly, I wanted you to know that it was me and Lydia," he winks back to her. "We set you up and you took the bait perfectly."

Dyhannah feels the blood drain from her face. "What?"

"The information that you gave Kent," Mac smirks back to her. "It was all lies. Lydia and I knew that you'd go rushing to Kent with the false information and we could catch you; that's when we were able to get you on the security footage. So, you see, your plan to destroy me and my company failed, and I am the one that put you in jail, where you're going to stay for many, many years."

"You son of a bitch," she spits back to him. "You may have won this round, Mac, but mark my words, you will not get away with this. I will see to that."

"Good luck with that from jail," he tells her before he stands up. "Because you're going to rot here, Dyhannah."

***

"Damn it, Lucinda," Dane yells back at his fiancé as they continue to stand in the living room of the Rockwell mansion. "Just tell me what this investigation uncovered! You agreed to be my wife, don't you think that you owe me that much?"

Lucinda sighs back to him as she waves her hand in the air. "Fine, Dane! If you want the truth, you'll get the truth."

"Please, that's all I'm asking for."

"The fact of the matter is, you have a long-lost child, and she is in town," Lucinda reveals to him.

"How is this possible?"

"You slept with a woman years ago, who got pregnant, and she gave the baby up for adoption," Lucinda tells him the story that she got from Lydia and Casper Ross. "The child was adopted by some parents and raised her."

"Her? I have a daughter?" Dane asks her in surprise.

"You do," Lucinda purses her lips back to him.

"Well, don't stop now," Dane looks back at her. "Tell me who my child is! Who is she? Who is my daughter?"

"Dyhannah Cooper," Lucinda replies to him quickly. "That wicked woman is your flesh and blood," she says as Dane gasps back in shock and horror.

***

"Please tell me that Dyhannah didn't try to make any excuses with you?" Lydia asks Mac as they sit across from one another in the country club with a light lunch in front of them.

Mac chuckles back to her as he recalls just telling her about his visit to the jail to see Dyhannah. "She didn't try to make any excuses, if anything, she was her normal, short-tempted self. You know the usual, 'you won't get away with this' stuff."

"Ugh, that woman has no morals," Lydia picks up her glass of wine and takes a sip. "I hope that Helena Grant can put her away for years."

"You and me both," Mac winks back to her. "You know, something you said earlier has really stuck with me."

"What did I say?"

"That we, still, make a good team," Mac looks back into her eyes. "And I think you're absolutely right, we always have, Lydia."

Lydia smiles back to him as she can feel the sparks between them. "I'm glad that we are on the same page, Mac. It feels nice."

"It feels correct," he grabs her hand and squeezes it.

***

Houston Blackmore moves into the living room of the Blackmore mansion and arches his eyebrow at the sight of Vivian sitting with her knees up on the sofa and a bottle of rose next to her. His mother has red eyes from her tears and a box of tissue next to her.

"Uh, Mom?" Houston asks as he moves up to the sofa where she is sitting. "What's going on? What's wrong?"

"Oh baby, everything is a mess and it's…it's all my fault," she cries to him.

"I am sure it's not that bad," Houston looks back at her. "Why don't you tell me what happened, and I will try to help?"

"Thanks Houston, but I don't think there's anything you, or anyone, can do."

"Try me?"

"It's…" she starts as she gets more tears in her eyes. "It's your father. He…he's filing for divorce! Oh Houston, my marriage to Kent is over … again!"

***

"Marat, please," Deacon pleads with the unhinged Russian, who is slowly moving closer to him as they stand on the caged walkaway above the vats of acid in the basement of the Kremlin. "This can be over now! We can all go our separate ways!"

"You're right, this will be over," Marat grits his teeth together as he inches closer to his rival.

Below them, Sabine, and Quinn watch in horror as Marat continues to move closer to Deacon. "Please stop this!" Sabine screams at them.

Suddenly, Marat rushes up to Deacon and pushes him hard. The push causes Deacon to fall backwards and over the railing! His body falls into the acid, which makes a huge splash! Some of the acid that was sprayed by the fall, hits Sabine's face, who screams out in horror.

"AHhhhhh!" she screams as she falls to the ground in pain, as Quinn turns in horror and sees her mother on the floor, all the while, still reeling that Deacon fell into the vat of acid.

"Mom! Oh my God! Mom and Deacon! Oh my God," Quinn cries as she tries to help Sabine, who is crying on the floor. "Hold on, I'll get some help!"

Quinn rushes towards the door and sees Marat rushing down the stairs, as he is trying to escape. Quinn grabs the chair that Sabine was tied too and rushes up to Marat and hits him over the head with the chair! "You son of a bitch!" she screams as Marat's body falls to the ground. "You're not getting away with this!"

She looks over Marat's body and realizes that she still needs to get help for Deacon and Sabine. She reaches into Marat's pocket and finds his phone before she dials 9-1-1, desperate for someone, anyone to come and help her.

***

A short time later, the basement of the Kremlin is swarming with police. Quinn watches as Sabine is wheeled away on a gurney as she will need medical attention since some the acid hit her face. She also can see a crew trying to figure out they can search the vat of acid for Deacon. She feels her eyes swell with water thinking that he is likely seriously injured.

She looks over and sees two police officers putting some handcuffs on Marat's wrists. She rushes over to him. "Marat, this…this is a nightmare!"

"This is all your fault," he responds to her. "You and your lies about Jumper; that's what set this all into motion."

"And now," she lets a tear fall down her cheek. "Deacon and my mother are seriously hurt! My God, you really will go to jail for a long time, do you know that?"

Marat chuckles back to her. "We will see about that."

The police start to escort Marat out of the basement, but Quinn stops them. "Wait, please," she rushes up to Marat. "Tell me where Jumper is Marat! He's…he's going to need one of us to be there for him! Please tell me where he is!"

"No."

"Marat! Please! Tell me where my son is!"

"Tell the lady," the police officer tells him as he jabs Marat with his nightstick.

Marat glares back at the cop before he looks at Quinn. "He's at my apartment in Moscow, I'll give you the address but damnit, don't you dare take him out of the country, Quinn. I mean it!"

***

"Are you sure my mother is well enough to be released from the hospital?" Quinn asks a young female nurse in the hospital room where a male doctor is wrapping Sabine's face with some bandages. Quinn is communicating with the nurse because she speaks English, while the doctor only speaks in Russian.

The young nurse turns to the doctor and seemingly asks him the question in Russian. "Yes, yes, your mother, her face is badly burned from the acid, but she is fine," the nurse tells Quinn, who looks over at Sabine. "She will have to leave the bandages on and have her skin assessed once you're back in the United States."

"Okay," Quinn nods back to her. "Thank you. How are you feeling, Mom?"

"I am in pain," Sabine admits to her. "It is like nothing I have ever felt before. I'm…I'm scared I will be scared for life, Quinn."

"We will get you the best surgeon in the US if we have too," Quinn replies to her. "I am just glad that you're okay."

Quinn then looks back at the nurse. "Our friend, Deacon, he fell into the vat of acid. Has there been any updates on him?"

The nurse looks back at her. "He did not survive," she tells Quinn, who gasps back to him. "Anyone that would have been in that much acid would have burnt to death."

"Oh God," Quinn gasps as Sabine grabs her hand. "Not Deacon! This…this can't be happening!"

"Baby, it's okay," Sabine whispers back to her. "What is important, now, is that we go and get your son, and then get back to Kelsey Lake. We have inform Chase and Dyhannah what has happened."

A tear falls down Quinn's cheek. "I don't know how we are going to tell them that he's gone…he was so young, so full of life…"

"We will get through this, believe me," Sabine encourages her. "But like I said, we have to go get baby Jumper."

***

A short time later, Quinn opens the front door to the apartment where Marat was living. She moves into the space as Sabine follows her. They look around and realize that the apartment is a far cry from the living arrangements that they are used too in Kelsey Lake.

"I…I can't believe that Marat would leave Jumper here alone," Sabine looks around, before she winces in pain as her face is still burnt from the acid.

"I know," Quinn says as she moves into the living room and turns on a lap. Immediately, she sees a crib in the corner, and she rushes up to it, and starts to cry when she sees Jumper sleeping soundly inside. "Oh my God, my Jumper! My baby boy!" she cries as she lifts him up and hugs him tightly. "I…I never thought I'd see you again!"

Sabine feels her eyes swell with water at the sight of her daughter and grandson together again. "I knew we'd get Jumper back, I just didn't know all the destruction Marat would leave in his way."

"You know what I want know?" Quinn asks her mother as they lock eyes. "To get the hell out of Russia. Let's go home, Mom."

***

Lucinda emerges off the elevator at Rockwell Mining and swiftly moves towards the main office. She is desperate to fill Mac and Lydia in on the latest developments: she finally told Dane that Dyhannah is his daughter. She can't get the image of shock from Dane's face out of her head; she completely blindsided him with the news.

When she opens the door, she sees Mac and Lydia working together at the desk, likely on the Roboto collaboration. She clears her throat which allows her son and former daughter in law to look up at her.

"Mother, please come in," Mac smiles back to her. "We were just going over some of the details of the Roboto collaboration. I think you will be very pleased."

"Yes, I'm sure I will be," she responds to them. "But I'm afraid that I have some news that you must hear from me."

"It's not Nathan is it?" Lydia asks her quickly out of concern as she thinks about her husband, who is still in the psychiatric ward at the hospital.

"No, Levi is just fine," Lucinda replies. "This is about Dane and Dyhannah. I…I told him the truth. I told Dane that he is Dyhannah's father."

"You did what?" Mac asks her in surprise. "I thought we weren't going to tell him?"

"He pressed me until I caved," Lucinda admits. "He knew something was going on after he found out that Lydia hired Casper to investigate his past. I…I couldn't keep it from him anymore."

"Well, I guess the question becomes: What is Dane going to do now that he knows the truth?" Lydia asks Lucinda who shrugs back to her in curiosity.

***

Cole takes a sip of his whiskey sour while he sits at the bar of the country club. His mind is racing over the fact that Lex, recently, suggested to him that he was in love with Celeste, which is why he was feeling jealous when he saw her with Houston. For weeks now, he has been telling Celeste that they are over because he has felt like they were toxic to one another. Last year, he was seeing Madison Stewart again and Celeste purposely made it seem like they were having an affair by leaving a pair of her panties in his room, which Madi found. As a result, Madi dumped him and left town again.

"All this time, I was furious with Celeste," he whispers to himself. "But as soon as Madi left town, what did I do? I slept with Celeste. I wanted her, despite telling everyone, including myself, that I didn't."

He takes another long sip of his drink. "I think…I think Lex is right; I think I still love Celeste. My God, I must find her and tell her. I have to make this right!"

He stands up from the bar and makes a beeline for the front door, but he freezes in his tracks when he sees Madi walk into the country club pushing a baby stroller.

"Madi?" Cole asks in surprise. "You're back in town?"

"I just got here," Madi purses her lips together.

"That's great, how long are you staying for? And are you babysitting for someone?" he asks as he peers into the stroller and sees a baby fast asleep.

"Not sure about the details of my trip just yet," Madi looks back at him. "And the baby, well, Cole, he's yours. I came back to town so you could meet your son."

***

The front door of the guesthouse opens, and Stacey Rockwell moves into the house that she lives in with her children. She had left town to clear her mind over the mess with Houston, Vivian, and Kent, which she has done and now she feels like she can be in a good space again. She has realized that she needs to put herself, and her children, first and not worry about the entanglements that she gets involved with.

"It's good to be home," she whispers to herself as she looks around the room.

Suddenly, from the shadows, Kent emerges. "Stacey, you're home, thank God."

Stacey gasps at the sight of him. "Kent? What the hell are you doing here? You scared me half to death!"

"I am sorry," he replies to her. "I didn't even know if you were going to be here. I..I needed to be somewhere that no one could find me. I needed some alone time."

"Are you okay?" Stacey asks her former lover. "What's happened?"

"It's my marriage to Vivian," he locks eyes with her. "It's over. We are getting a divorce."

***

"I just tried calling Dane and there was no answer," Mac tells Lydia and Lucinda, who are sipping some brandies in the main office of Roboto. They are desperate to find Dane so they can try to see where his head is now that he knows the truth about Dyhannah. "Where could he be?"

"I'm right here," Dane's voice booms at the door of the office. "My phone must not have rang because I was in the elevator."

"Dane, darling, I am glad that you're here," Lucinda moves up to him and hugs him quickly. "After I told you the truth, I was worried about you. How are you holding up?"

"Is it true?" Dane looks past his fiancé and over to his son. "Is Dyhannah Cooper really my daughter?"

"Yes," Mac nods back to him. "The report from Lydia's private investigator confirmed it."

"I…I don't believe this," Dane shakes his head in horror. "After everything that woman has put us through…to find out that she's my daughter? This feels like a sick joke."

"There's something else you should know," Lydia looks over at Dane. "Dyhannah was stealing corporate information from Rockwell Mining and giving it to Blackmore Ltd."

"What? You have got to be kidding!" Dane gasps.

"I wish we were," Mac looks back at his father. "As a result, we went to the police and last night, Dyhannah was arrested. So, your daughter, she's in jail. Dyhannah Cooper is in jail and I hope she spends the rest of her life there."

***

A short time later, Dyhannah is, once again, escorted into the visiting center of the jail. She arches her eyebrow when she sees Dane sitting at a table waiting for her. She has no idea why Dane, of all people, would be visiting her today, but she doesn't want any drama with him.

"I am surprised to see you," Dyhannah admits to him as she sits across from him. "You and I, we've never exactly gotten along, so why would you come to see me now, Dane? And if you're here to gloat, save your breath because I don't have the energy for it."

"I am not here to gloat," Dane looks back at him in a whispered voice. "To be honest, I wasn't sure what I was going to do today, but I found myself driving here and now we are face to face."

"Okay? I don't know if you've noticed, but I am behind bars, Dane. So, there's nothing that I can really help you with."

"That's where you're wrong," Dane locks eyes with her. "I discovered some information today, and I thought you had the right to know about it."

"Information? What information?" Dyhannah asks him.

"I know this will come as a shock," Dane tells her. "But Dyhannah, I am your father. I am your biological father," he reveals to her as she gasps in horror back to him.

***

Mac quickly moves into the living room of the Rockwell mansion and sees Sabine about to pour herself a drink. He can see her from the back, but he gets a huge smile on his face that she has returned from Russia.

"Sabine, my goodness, it's good to see you!" he says rushing up to her. She turns around and is startled by the large bandage that is on her face. "What…what happened?"

Sabine bites her lip as she feels hideous because of the burn the acid left on her face. She feels so hideous now, but she can't change the fact that she has this huge scar on her face. "It's a long story," she says as she pulls him into a hug. "But I am so glad to be home."

"I am glad that you're back too," he whispers to her. "And you have all the time in the world to tell me what happened, but just know that I am always here for you."

"Thank you," she replies to him as a tear falls down her cheek.

***

"My sister is home and with Mac now," Lydia announces to Lucinda as she moves into the study of the Rockwell mansion.

"I am glad that we are alone," Lucinda replies to her. "We have to talk about Levi."

"The plan has worked perfectly, hasn't it?" Lydia chuckles back to her. "Framing him to make him think he was insane so we could have him placed in a hospital to get Mac back as the acting CEO of Rockwell Mining? It's all come together nicely."

"Yes, but the time has come, Lydia, for you to sign Levi's power of attorney over to me," Lucinda tells her. "That was the plan, remember? Once I have the power, I can ensure that he is released from the hospital once we know that he didn't kill Mortimer."

"You're right," Lydia nods back to her. "That was the plan, but I am thinking the plan needs to change."

"What are you mumbling on about? Sign the power of attorney over to me, Lydia!" Lucinda hisses back at her.

"I will," Lydia smirks back to her. "But only after you have broken up Mac and Sabine for good. You see, I still love Mac and I will not allow him to be with my sister instead of me. So, if you want Nathan's power of attorney, you will do everything in your power to make sure that Mac and Sabine break up forever."
