It's One Year Later, and around Adam's Landing, things are entirely different than what it was a year earlier, For The Jacksons, the main family in Adam's Landing, Hell Hill is living up to it's name, as Xavier sits inside his study, and is quiet, as he watches the computer, with his eyes glued to the screen, as he watches his Sister, Jamie, and for Jamie, she sits inside Bree's Mansion, as Bree looks at her Mother, and tells her with disgust in her voice "All you have done is caused trouble since you've returned. Nobody wants you here, and Uncle Frank won't be screwed over." Jamie gasps "What the hell are you talking about?" At Frank's Farm, Frank and Casey's Daughter, named Faye, after B.R.'s Mother, and Frank has cared for, with help from Cale, Allison, Bree, and in Frank's bedroom, as it's morning time, looks over, as Beth sleeps, and Frank stares at her. Meanwhile Beth's Husband, Bobby Whitten sits in his office, as he's now Mayor, and Xavier's right hand. Bobby gets off the phone, as his secretary walks inside, and tells Bobby "Summer Whiiten's here to see you." Summer walks inside, as Bobby sits at his desk and asks Summer "Here to tell me something on your Mama so I can make her disappear?" Summer responds "No it's about your Grandson. Since I divorced Paul and he moved back to Unity, you and Beth nor the family keeps in touch with me except Uncle Frank, my Mom, and my Sister. You should be in his life." Bobby tells Summer "Well you shouldn't have cheated on my Son with that deputy, and your Mama's rich enough to help you." Summer sighs with sadness "He asks about you." Bobby tells Summer "Paul needs to see him." Summer snaps with anger "And he hasn't done a thing for me since he left town." Bobby reminds Summer "That didn't help your case. You got some folks gunning for you whore." Summer storms out, as Bobby sighs "That's the least of my problems, everything is fine." At Ava's Mansion, which is rebuilt, as it was Burned down by Jamie, with Angelica's help, which sparked a war, and Angelica has fled overseas, in sights unknown, after The Jackson Family went after Angelica, and she faked her death, which was a failure for both Winston and Angelica, but satisfied everyone that had a vicious and violent past with her, Ava walks inside the den, as she tells Winston, who finally got legally divorced, and now officially married to Ava, after getting a video from Xavier,as she heads to the liquor cabinet "The whore's at it again. She caused Ciarra and Uncle Floyd more pain, she really let that disgrace to us make her worse than ever, but we have survived, but now I know who's helping her.." Winston looks at his Wife, and asks "Well Who?" Ava tells her Husband calmly "How do is say this?" The master of fakes, your Ex-Wife." Winston responds "Well that sounds like her. I will believe she's dead when she's in the ground officially." Ava warns her Husband "Jamie will join her soon. I promise." Winston sighs "The whore has it coming to her. She's engaged to Walter DuBois, and think she's the shit with the plastic surgeries." Ava quips "Always wanted to look like Fancy Barr." Jamie's return from her presumed death, and best selling book thanks to Walter, as they are dating, Ava reminds Winston "I know that book helped turn my Sister into a self-righteous whoring bitch!" Winston looks at Ava, and tells her in a tired tone "She already was, And Ava, I'm tired of it. It's on you, I can't handle this anymore." Ava looks at her Husband, and reminds him "You got HaleCorp back, and Jared's running the show, and you have grown frail lately." Winston tells Ava "I'm getting old." Ava goes "Well I'm catching up with you. I wish Jack and Samantha were here, but they like Sugar Creek, and really miss my J.J." Winston sighs "Yeah it's gotten quiet around here." Winston meanwhile changes subject, and tells his Wife "We just need to enjoy life Ava. And focus on getting rid of Angelica once and for all." Ava laughs "Like when we sent Wade packing and that whore Rachel." Winston nods, as he tells Ava "I'm heading to my study." Ava gets her keys, as she tells her Husband "I'm heading to make my rounds." Winston looks at his phone, as Ava leaves, and soon heads to HaleCorp.
Meanwhile for Xavier's Wife Leigh, and their Oldest Daughter, Sully, Class has went national, and on the verge of opening it's first International location in Europe. In Sully's office at Class, Sully looks at her Mother, as Leigh tells her Daughter "I notice that bump's growing Sully." Sully sighs "Jared and I got lucky again. After everything that's happened as of recent, it's one positive in our life." Leigh sighs "Gracie and Xavier Jr are now in school, and Ruthie's growing so fast." Sully laughs "It blows me away how fast time flies, but it's not the same anymore when I return to the Penthouse." Leigh sighs with sadness "I know sweetie. Your Grandma's not been herself lately either." Sully asks her Mother "Do you notice anything going on between her and Bobby. Tension." Leigh sighs "She retired from City Hospital, but serves on the board, but she's been very close to Frank since Casey disappeared after giving birth." Sully meanwhile tells her Mother "I'm heading over to Jackson Inc, and talk to Aunt Ava about bringing Class and Emery's under the same umbrella. We're going to do some promotion between our stores." Leigh smiles, as she asks "So have you decided to take your Father's offer to take his place." Sully looks at her Mother, and sighs "Who'd run Class?" Leigh assures her Daughter "Things are fine here, and X will be there to help his favorite girl." Sully laughs "I thought that would be you Mom?" Leigh gets up, and smiles, as she looks at her Daughter, and replies "You are his inspiration Sully." Sully's humbled, as she tells her Mother "Well I'm going to visit Aunt Ava, and then we'll discuss our new line." Leigh nods, as Sully leaves, and Leigh receives a video text from her Husband, as she says to herself "Over my dead body." Leigh looks around, as she has a thought, and says to herself "Nobody will pull the wool over my family, or my Daughter."
At City Hospital, the scene's changed, as Terrance is now the CEO, and Olivia's been promoted to Chief Of Staff, as Allan arrives in Olivia's office, and asks his Wife "So have you spoken to Big Sis?" Olivia responds "She hasn't even been around since.." Allan sighs "She's been staying distracted. It's likely still too painful for her." Olivia tells her Husband "It is. She calls, but that's it." Allan sighs "I certainly understand, and I think the Sullivan's are splitting apart." Olivia sighs "Well Jamie doesn't help anything, and Ciarra and Floyd's been gone since.." Allan hugs his Wife, as he tells Olivia "Aunt Ciarra's coming back to town and we're meeting later. I'm going to try and bring the family together. Nathan, Rose, Cale, Allison, Bree are coming, but I'm not sure about Summer." Olivia advises "She's on the Jackson shit list right now, so it'd likely be best if she didn't show up at all." Allan agrees, as he asks his Wife "Think you're not too busy for a short date?" Olivia smiles, as she hugs her Husband and quips "You hopeless romantic. We got it good." Meanwhile Terrance has walked out of the meeting room, as he walks down the hall, and sees someone at the nurse's desk, as Terrance tells the person "Well what a surprise." Monica Dubois, Ex-Wife of Walter DuBois, asks her old friend "So have you seen that video of.." Terrance tells his friend "Look, move on from Walter and Jamie. Jamie's playing him, and we both know that." Monica snarks "Well it works both ways. He's been like that for years." Terrance asks Monica "Care to go talk? I need to talk to you." Monica nods, as they head to Terrance's office. Once inside, Terrance looks at Monica, as she tells Terrance "My Son's working for Jackson Inc. I know how Xavier Jackson works." Terrance assures Monica "And after all you've told me regarding Javon, I don't think you have to worry about him getting harmed. Xavier's a fair man. But he's stepping down, so we'll see how it goes with his successor." Monica asks "And who might that be?" Terrance answers "Sully Jackson Hale, his Daughter. She's a lot like her Father, and Beth." Monica quips "I'd say the man's smart too." Terrance nods in agreement.
As afternoon's come, at The Farm, Beth picks up Faye, as Frank walks inside Faye's nursery, and tells Beth "So when are you going to tell Bobby? Jamie knows about us." Beth looks at Frank's Daughter, and responds "And Jamie can go where Casey Ryan went too. When I look at this baby, I can't help but remember our little girl." Frank sighs "Beth, after all I've done to you, why are you willing to help me?" Beth hands Faye to Frank, as she takes a deep breath, and responds in a sad tone "I made a promise to Ruth, and B.R., and that's exactly what I intend to do." Frank looks at Beth's phone, and tells Beth "I see Allan's called, and your Aunt." Beth looks at Frank, and says with her voice trembling "I'm not ready Frank." Frank looks at Beth, and tells her "It's time." Beth hugs Frank, as she kisses Faye, and walks out, with doubt in her eyes, as Frank watches Beth leave, with love in his eyes. At Jackson Inc, Sully arrives, as Xavier greets his Daughter with a hug, and Sully tells her Father, as they head to his office "So I talked to Mom, and she told me to accept." Xavier smiles, as he tells his Daughter "I'm honored you took it Princess. And look at that bump." Sully quips "Well Daddy, Ruthie's already wanting a brother or sister." Xavier responds "Doesn't matter to me as long as it's healthy, and you as well." Sully asks her Father "So what's made you decide to step away Daddy?" Xavier looks up, and looks at Sully, and tells her in a soft tone "Time to tend to my family. Live for the day." Sully asks "Are you plotting?" Xavier responds "No. Never." Sully tells her Father "I'm glad Aunt Ava will be here to help. I'll have a hard time getting adjusted to running the family business, and overseeing Class." Xavier reminds Sully "With your ideas, everything will work. Just remember who's the enemy, and make sure you can read through people's words." Sully quips "I think I got that down pat." Xavier smiles "And that's why you'll be successful at this desk." In Ava's office, Ava sits inside, as Javon DuBois walks inside, and Ava asks Javon "Got some dirt?" Javon tells Ava "I don't talk to Walter anymore." Ava reminds Javon "Maybe it's time to pretend you give a damn about him. See, he's close to a whore.." Javon sighs "Jamie Marx." Ava quips "Exactly. And she'll soon be your Step-Mother, and she's hellbent on destroying my family. Your job included. And would Walter ever give you a chance like Xavier and I have here at Jackson Inc for you?" Javon shakes his head, and asks "What do I need to do?" Ava hands Javon a list, and responds "Follow them exact. And you will answer to me!"
Meanwhile at The Exposer, Aretha sits in her office, as she reads the gossip columns, as Rashad walks inside, and Aretha hugs her Son, and tells him "So champ, how's everything with my baby boy? Did Little Sidney enjoy his first day of school?" Rashad nods "He did Mom. FJR's got everything in place for next year, and Grandma took Little Sidney to Little Italy for Pizza." Aretha asks Rashad "Have you noticed anything different with my Mama lately?" Rashad asks "Like?" Aretha tells her Son "Uncle Clem told me the other day he beat her at 21, and Mama responded that she gave him the win." Rashad looks around, and replies "That's not Grandma." Aretha nods "And she almost called your Son Terrance the other day." Rashad reminds his Mother "With everything that's happened recently, she hasn't been herself." Aretha looks at her Son, as she tells him "Terrance's noticing too. And I'd advise you not to leave my Grandson with my Mama without me there, or Uncle Clem when he's around." Rashad asks "Couldn't you be overreacting?" Aretha bluntly responds "I know my Mama!" At Little Italy, Willie and Rashad's Son, Little Sidney sits at a table, enjoying pizza, as Terrance joins them, as Willie looks at her Son, and responds "When did you decide to dress up?" Little Sidney laughs, as Terrance looks at his Mother, and reminds her "I'm the CEO of City Hospital Mama." Willie quips "I was kidding. Sit down and have lunch with us." Terrance sits down at the table, as he looks around, and asks his Mother "Did you think I was Daddy?" Willie responds "You do look like him." Terrance notices an arcade machine, and hands Little Sidney a few dollars, and tells his Great-Nephew "Go win your MaMaw a prize." Little Sidney runs to the machine, as Willie warns her Son "Don't start Terrance. Don't you dare start with me!" Terrance tells his Mother with concern "I know what's going on Mama. This isn't the only time you've mistook me for Daddy. I want you to be checked out soon." Willie snaps "Ain't a damn thing wrong with me boy!" Terrance grabs his Mother's hand, and holds it, and gently responds "Mama, you're slipping. Uncle Clem's even noticed." Willie snaps "He's always been a sore loser." Terrance sighs "Tomorrow I want to see you at the Hospital, and you'll be there." Willie yells for her Great-Grandson, and snaps at her Son "You and Aretha needs to stay the hell off my damn back! I'm moving! I'm healthy! Quit being a damn Doctor all the time!" Willie and Little Sidney leaves, as the waitress walks over, and responds "She didn't pay." Terrance hands the waitress his credit card, and tells the waitress "Keep the change."
Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Leigh walks inside with Gracie and Xavier Jr, as someone stands in the living room and sighs "Oh this will rightfully be mine." Leigh tells her children "Go upstairs." Gracie and Xavier Jr runs upstairs, as Jamie turns towards Leigh, and asks "And where's my Brother?" Leigh looks at Jamie, and bluntly tells her Sister In Law "He's at work Jamie. A better question's who in the hell let you on the property." Jamie quips "My girls always turn the guards on." Leigh quips "And you and your silicon girls needs to leave before X returns home! Silicon and the Storm Shelter don't mesh well in winter." Jamie walks around, and asks "So I hear there's some kind of get together?" Leigh nods, and responds "And you're not welcomed!" Jamie sighs "Oh well, that's too bad. My poor Mommy won't have any support from her last surviving child." Leigh looks at Jamie with disgust, and snaps "You already hurt Ciarra enough, and if Beth were to walk through those doors and see you.." Jamie asks "And do you know where she's been sleeping Leigh? And all of you call me a whore. That bitch's sleeping with the only member of this damn family with brains!" The door opens, as Beth walks inside, and sees Jamie, and quietly snarls "I just heard that. And I've never hired a man to rape my Sister to get her Husband either." Jamie yells "I will tell Bobby about this! Hell I'll even sleep with him Beth. Maybe I have?" Beth quips "Please bitch. He knows I'm helping Frank, and has no problem with it." Leigh watches the exchange, as Jamie asks "Does Bobby know the two of you had sex? Not once, but twice?" Beth asks Jamie "And how long do you want to breathe? Care to visit Ava? I hear she bought a new lighter. I may buy one myself." Jamie snaps as she walks towards the door "I'm about to destroy this family! Watch me! All of you will fear me for once!" Jamie leaves, as Leigh asks her Mother In Law "Are you having an affair?" Beth looks at Leigh, and tells her "Where's Xavier?" Leigh tells Beth "He should be here." Beth sighs "I'm not ready to go over there." Leigh yells for Gracie and Xavier Jr, as they run towards their Grandmother, and Leigh gets a text, with doubt in her eyes, and tells Beth "X isn't going. He's got to leave town for business." Beth sighs "I could use him right now." Leigh assures her "You'll have the family, and Bobby." Beth hugs Leigh, as they all head out.

Winston tells Jared "I'm going back home, and just remember what I told you." Sully goes "Jamie the whore and the zombie?" Winston laughs "That'd be a perfect name for the old bitch." Winston walks out, as Sully tells Jared "Well I'm in charge of Jackson Inc now. Daddy's stepping down. But he's leaving for business tonight. This is becoming too common." Jared asks "He may be hunting down my Grandmother." Sully asks "Wouldn't he or Aunt Ava already have Jamie chained to the Storm Shelter?" Jared looks at his Wife, and puts his hand on her stomach, and calmly responds "Leave it to them, and do as he says. We need to focus on our little family." Sully asks "And where's our little Queenie?" Ruthie runs inside, as Jared quips "She's a natural." Sully hugs her Daughter, and Jared asks "Are you ready? Sully tells her family "Let's go."

Summer snaps "Oh are you wanting to kill me by relation Aunt Ava? What about my Son?" Ava asks "And where is he? I don't see him?" Summer yells "He's with his Aunt Bree. They are going to an event I was told I couldn't go to." Ava quips "You shouldn't have sided with your Mama Summer. And by the way, how is that sweet Jake? Oh that's right, you're too busy tending to matters that's none of your damn business." Alexandra stops Ava, and tells her "She's here." Summer asks "Grandma?" Ciarra walks over, as she gives Ava and Alexandra a hug, and looks at her Granddaughter, and shakes her head, as she sighs "You hurt me Summer. Helping your Mother."

I won't have no more part in the business. It's not the same." Ava asks "How's Texas?" Ciarra looks at Ava and Alexandra, and tells them "Floyd and I are enjoying ourselves, but there's emptiness." Alexandra sighs "I certainly understand. It's not the same here either." Ciarra gets up, and tells Ava "I know you will do great things with Emery's, and I'm heading over to meet everyone now." Ava tells Ciarra "I miss her." Ciarra sighs with sadness "Me too." Ciarra rushes out, as Alexandra gets a phone call, and tells Ava "Time to meet my Husband." Ava quips "So Colt hasn't strayed?"
