It's a week later, and at Hell Hill, Xavier sits inside his study, as he reads a book, as Beth walks inside, and asks her Son "How are you?" Xavier looks at his Mother, and sighs "I feel like shit Mother." Beth notices the book, and asks "So you decided to do some research I see?" Xavier responds in pain "Millie brought this over to me, and it's alternative therapies to cancer." Beth smiles "Millie's a smart girl. I read that book too years ago. I have many of them." Xavier asks "Where's my kids?" Beth responds "Sully's taken them to school, and Leigh's went down to Class." Xavier looks at his Mother, as he tells her "I'm scared Mama." Beth puts her hands on her Son's shoulders, and sighs "I am too baby. Keep reading that book, and maybe you'll get an idea. There's a way to beat cancer without radiation, and chemo." Xavier asks "How?" Beth pulls a joint out of her pocket, and tells Xavier "I know you never liked smoking marijuana, but this is one of the greatest things for someone battling cancer, and it can kill cancer cells also." Xavier sighs "So I read." Beth asks "Want to try?" Xavier looks at his Mother, and asks "What about my mouth? Will it affect it?' Beth looks at Xavier with a scared look, but tells him "At this point Son, you need something to help you relax, and increase your appetite." Xavier sighs "Fire it up Mother." Beth sits at Xavier's desk, as she lights it, and tells her Son "Take the first toke, and let it take in." Xavier takes a toke, and quips "Wow. That's some strong shit." Beth smiles, as she takes a toke as well "I only get the best. There's a therapy you can take, and it's experimental, but it'll be your choice." Xavier tells his Mother, in a defeated tone "I feel alone in this Mother." Beth asks "Why? Sully, Millie, Ava, Millie, Winston, Jared, Bobby, everyone's on your side? What's making you feel alone?" Xavier tells Beth "Leigh's acting strange. I want my Wife. I need her." Beth closes her eyes for a moment, as she sighs "Xavier, she is in denial. But she's been acting strange for some time." Xavier hands the joint to his Mother, as he tells her "I'm not crazy about this stuff. I need to stay alert with everything going on." Beth looks at Xavier, and sternly tells him "Your family's going to help you, and all we need to do is focus on healing you!" Xavier looks at his Mother, as Beth assures him "Bobby's got his eye on everything, and we're beating this." Xavier gets emotional, as Beth hugs her Son, and whispers "You are tough Xavier, and you're not leaving without a fight."
At Class, Leigh walks inside her office, as she looks around, and is silent, as she looks at a picture of her Husband on her desk, and holds it tightly, as she sighs with sadness and fear "I can't lose you X. I just can't accept this." A voice appears inside Leigh's head, that says "You need a break." Leigh is silent, as she looks around her office, and the door opens, as Alexandra walks in, and Leigh asks Alexandra "Who are you?" Alexandra looks at Leigh quizzically, and asks "Are you drunk?" Leigh closes her eyes, as she sighs with relief "Not now, but I will be!" Alexandra tells Leigh "So how's Xavier doing?" Leigh responds "Who?" Alexandra goes "Your husband? Millie's Father?" Leigh responds "Xavier Jackson? I don't know him. He works at Jackson Inc, and who in the hell is Millie?" Alexandra backs off, as she tells Leigh with a weird look on her face "May want to check the vodka Leigh." Leigh smiles "I've got a modeling tryout tonight. I'm so excited." Alexandra walks out, as Leigh looks around her desk, as she sees a picture of Sully, Jared, and Ruthie, and of Gracie and Xavier Jr, and Leigh quips "Who in the hell are these people?" Meanwhile Alexandra walks into her office, and makes a phone call, as she calls Millie, who's at Jackson Inc, and tells her Granddaughter "You may want to warn Sully and everyone. I think Leigh's went crazy." Leigh opens the door, and smiles "I'm going out for some fun. This isn't my thing. I just wear clothes." Leigh struts out, as she leaves, and Alexandra rolls her eyes, as she sighs "She's damn loony."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Sully arrives, as Ava and Millie sits inside Sully's office, as Ava asks her Niece "So have you noticed anything "off" about Leigh?" Sully quips "Mom's been in denial over Daddy's cancer Aunt Ava. I have too as well. So damn hard to accept." Millie tells her Sister "Grandma called me at Class a few minutes ago and said Leigh didn't know who she was. That's really coo-coo." Sully looks at her Sister, as Ava also looks at Millie, and thinks to herself for a moment, and tells her Nieces "It sounds to me like Leigh's went bat-shit crazy like Beth said. All I can say is if she hurts my Brother, she'll be dealing with me. She's on my shit list already." Sully sighs "She was gone this morning when I picked up Gracie and Xavier Jr for school, and Daddy said she's still accusing him of things, and Grandma's about to go postal." Ava quips "Makes two of us." Ava walks out, as she bumps into Javon, as he asks "Do I hear Millie Paige in Sully's office?" Ava goes "Yes. Why?" Javon walks inside, as he goes "Millie?" Millie turns, and sees Javon, and asks "What in the hell are you doing at my Father's company?" Javon responds "I work here Millie, and don't worry, I'm not a spy for Walter and his whore." Sully asks her Sister "How do you know Javon?" Millie looks at Javon, and responds "We knew each other in L.A.." Javon asks Millie "Want to have lunch together?" Millie accepts, as Javon tells her "We've got a lot to catch up on." Javon walks out, as Sully looks at her Sister, and asks "Am I sensing love?" Millie sighs "We were friends. With benefits. I'm not committing to a relationship. It's not me." Sully looks at her Sister, and advises her "If there's love, go for it. I think there's more than benefits there Millie." Millie gets up to leave, and sighs "Possibly." Millie leaves, as Sully feels a contraction, and holds her stomach, and sighs "Brock Xavier Hale, you'll have to be patient in there. I'm ready also." The office door opens, as Sully looks over sales, as she looks up, and goes "Aunt Ciarra?" Ciarra looks at Sully, and opens her arms, as Sully hugs her Great-Aunt, as Ciarra tells her Great-Niece "A little bluebird informed me about Xavier, and I came back to town." Sully cries in Ciarra's arms, as Ciarra comforts Sully.
At the ALPD, Bobby, Bree, Frank, Cale, Colt, and Russell are inside a interrogation room, as Frank tells his Niece "I'm pulling something Xavier'd pull in a time like this. All Cale and Colt's awaiting's my call." Russell looks at his former Brother In Law, and tells him "I'm glad you're here for Bree, and helping out Frank. I'll overlook any illegal activity." Bobby quips to Russell "Xavier did pay to get you elected Governor, so that's the least you can do." Bree tells everyone "Mom's still silent, and Dad's been M.I.A.." Bobby rolls his eyes, as Russell sighs "I originally supported what Country did, but now that my Daughter and Grandson's kidnapped by Angelica Hale..." The door opens, as Angelica walks inside, and asks with an evil smile "I heard my name." Bree screams at Angelica "Let my Sister go you sick old bitch or I'll kill you!" Angelica looks around, as Bobby, Cale, Colt, and Frank, pull their pistols out, and Angelica boldly tells them "That's not a smart move. I'm not the only one the two of you should be aiming for. One's Jamie, and the other, well I hope I don't speak too eloquent that you idiots can't understand.." Russell yells "Where in the hell is my Daughter?" Angelica turns to Russell, and sighs "Governor, I don't know." Bree yells "Bullshit! You have her somewhere!" Angelica coldly responds "I do, and the one all of you need to talk to is Jamie. Either she pays me, or Summer dies, and Jake will live with me. I'll let him watch me kill her. A dream come true..." Frank asks Angelica "What would we have to do to save Summer and Jake from you?" Angelica asks Frank "Seen Xavier? Read he's dying. Made me smile. I needed it." Bobby fumes, as Frank warns Angelica "Watch your damn mouth talking about my Brother you old bitch!" Angelica sighs "Now control your temper. Go find Beth and please her. She likely needs a distraction." Angelica then tells everyone "I will not accept anything from none of you, this is between Jamie and I. She has to pay me. If you all want to fight, and confront, then tell her to pay me, or else..bye bye slutty Summer, and bye bye Jake, well to all of you." Bree rushes at Angelica in anger, as she's restrained by Cale and Colt, as Russell warns Angelica "If my Daughter dies, Jamie won't be the only one dead. I'll make damn sure you're laying next to her." Angelica smiles, and tells everyone "Make sure to tell Xavier I said I hope he goes painfully." Angelica walks out, as anger fills the room, and Bree snarls with anger "I should have killed her! That sick twisted old bitch!" Russell reminds Bree, as does Bobby and Frank "That'd be the last thing to do right now. She did say one thing wise though." Frank tells them "Let's bait Jamie. I'm sure others would like to join in." Meanwhile at the Santiago Manor, Summer's leg's chained to the bed, as she hears Jake cry on the baby monitor, as anger, and hurt fill Summer's eyes, as she cries "Pay her Mom. Please."
At The Sunset Club, Walter and Jamie have drinks, as Walter tells his fiancee "The movie's ready to shoot. Now it's time for you to start writing the sequel." Jamie has a look of dread, as she tells Walter "I really want Summer home. I'm ready to do what I have to do to get her and Jake away from Angelica." Walter sighs "Don't worry about her. She's harmless." At the bar sits Winston, as he takes a drink, and says to himself, overhearing Walter "Sounds to me like the old witch's got a mole." Winston takes a huge drink, as he walks over to Walter and Jamie's table, as Walter snaps at Winston "And what in the hell brought you over here?" Jamie yells at Winston "Too damn early to deal with you! Go find Ava a psychiatric hospital." Winston laughs, and asks "So Walter, Angelica's harmless?" Walter goes "I don't want to hear your opinion Winston. You were always the evil one. Poor Angelica.." Winston snaps at Walter "Angelica isn't perfect, and she was never this sweet, kind, person as you'd like to think." Jamie asks Winston "How's Xavier?" Winston responds to his Sister In Law "Not well, and the two of you sure as hell aren't helping." Walter asks Winston "How about telling those people at that Hospital in Blue Ridge to keep their mouths shut? You hated Xavier, now you're kissing his ass." Winston warns Jamie "I would love to watch you die a slow painful death since you've caused my Wife a hard time burning her home down, and everything that's happened in the past, but I want my Grandson home safe, and you need to stop listening to this weasel, and pay her." Jamie snaps at Winston "You don't give a damn about Jake!" Winston responds "Neither do you, but I think I have more care for him than you at this point!" Jamie yells "Go take your medicine old man so Ava can be satisfied." Winston shakes his head, and grins "I'll be satisfied when Jake is safe, and for his Mother." Walter tells Winston in a hateful tone "Excuse us, we're having brunch. Go have a drink, and then go to hell." Winston looks at Jamie, and warns her "I'll tell you one word of advice, if you trust this son of a bitch, then you really are an idiot. Read between the lines slut." Winston walks out, as Walter assures Jamie "Don't buy that shit. They are all after you." Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "I want my Daughter home, and my Grandson. So maybe it's time I pay Angelica back." Walter rolls his eyes, as Jamie gets up, and walks out, as Walter gets out his phone and sends a text, reading "I'm trying."
Meanwhile at City Hospital, Terrance and Olivia sits inside Terrance's office, as they discuss Xavier, and Olivia tells Terrance "I'm going over to visit Beth. Allan's meeting me there. She told me he's reading some medical books I gave her." Terrance sighs "I'm glad she's not angry at us." Olivia tells him "He's her only child Terrance. After losing Ruth and Tenny, this is the last thing she needs." Terrance adds "And from what I understand, Leigh's not helping." Olivia nods, and responds "I think she tops the Boss' shit list. And speaking of Beth, I'm on my way out." Terrance tells Olivia "Send my best to Xavier." Olivia responds "I will Terrance, and hope all goes well with Willie." Olivia leaves, as Terrance sits at his desk, as he has a flashback, and sighs "I hope everyone will understand. Especially Uncle Clem, and Rashad." The door opens, as Monica walks inside, and Terrance tells her "Now's not a good time Monica." Monica asks "What's going on? Is it about Willie?" Terrance tells Monica "I've spoke to Javon a few times, and I think the ice is melting, but today will be difficult, and can we talk later?" Monica tells Terrance "Yes. Call me." Terrance nods, as Monica walks out, as she bumps into Aretha, Willie, Sayyid, and Rashad, as Willie asks Monica "When did you return to town?" Monica asks Willie "How are you feeling?" Willie snaps "A hell of a lot better if I wasn't looking at you whore!" Aretha warns Monica "Didn't I tell you to stay away from Terrance?" Monica snaps "I'm leaving Aretha! Chill your ass out!" Monica heads to the elevator, as Willie tells her Brother "You should kill her. After she has that kid." Sayyid responds "She likely already had him." Willie sighs "Damn." They walk inside Terrance's office, as Terrance tells his family "I think most of you know why we're here." Aretha asks her Brother "I hope it's not what I'm thinking Terrance." Sayyid warns his Nephew "I'm with Aretha." Rashad tells his Uncle "Does this have to do with what happened to Grandpa?" Willie gains some clarity for a moment, and tells her family "Look, I've spoken to Terrance, and he'll explain everything, but this is what I want, and I want all of you to support me." Aretha shakes her head, as she sighs with a scared look "Please don't." Terrance tells his family "I've ordered the medicine, and Mama has told me she wants an assisted-suicide." Sayyid warns his Nephew "She's not thinking clearly. Better watch your ass boy!" Terrance tells his Uncle "I don't want to see Mama go through what Daddy did, nor does she. She's already set a date, and we all need to come together for her." Willie gets emotional, as she tells her family "I don't want to live in a world where I don't know the people I love." Aretha asks "Isn't there a way to slow the dementia?" Terrance shakes his head, and tells his Sister "We could, but it's not going to stop it Aretha." Rashad tells everyone "I support it." Willie grabs Rashad's hand, as Aretha asks her Mother "Is this really what you want Mama?" Willie nods, as Sayyid tells everyone "I can't do it. I can't accept this. This is something left to Allah." Terrance asks his Uncle "Do you want to see Mama get to the point she doesn't recognize any of us? Know us?" Sayyid responds "No I don't Terrance. I know Willie has mentioned this, and for her sake, I support this." Willie looks around, as she smiles "Soon me and the love of my life will be together again, and I can leave with a little dignity." Aretha, Sayyid, Rashad, and Terrance gets emotional, as they hug Willie, and Terrance tells his Mother, and family "The medicine arrives today, and Mama's told me when to do it, so before we do this. We need to make sure Aunt Thelma, Eve, Javon, gets to see Mama, and she can leave knowing my Son, and make sure she's surrounded by her family." Everyone accepts, as Aretha tells her Brother "I know this is hard, and it's hard to accept, but I support this. When's the date?" Terrance tells them, as Aretha hugs her Brother, and Rashad follows as he hugs his Uncle, and Willie hugs her Son, and tells him with tears in her eyes "You'll be giving me what I want, and I'm proud of you Terrance." Sayyid also hugs Terrance, and tells his Nephew "Our family will be together, and my Sister's last days will be special. I'll make damn sure of it." Willie, Aretha, Rashad, and Sayyid walks out, as Terrance sits at his desk, and cries, as he says to himself "Life isn't fair at all."
As afternoon approaches, at Jackson Inc, Ciarra, Sully, Ava, and Jared sits inside Sully's office, as Ciarra's caught up on everything, and Ciarra sighs "I feel so bad for Beth. She must be going through hell." Sully sighs "We all are Aunt Ciarra. I'm not ready to lose Daddy." Jared tells his Wife "I don't think he's giving up, and neither should we." Ava quips "He's tough as hell, I know he'll pull through it." Ciarra tells them "With everything going on with Xavier, to poor Summer's predicament, it just makes me so sad. Why hasn't Jamie tried to help save Summer and Jake?" Ava sighs "She's still the same selfish whore she's always been, and Bree's going through hell, and Jamie's just destroying our family." Ciarra sighs with sadness "I'm glad I've grown close to Bree, and Summer, well she hurt me with helping Jamie, but she's still my Granddaughter, and she doesn't deserve what's happening to her." Sully asks her Great-Aunt "Are you heading over to Hell Hill?" Ciarra responds "I plan to after I check on Bree." Ciarra gets up, as she tells Ava "Floyd wanted to come back to town, but he's ok. He's having a hard time after that farming accident." Ciarra hugs Sully, and Ava, as she walks out, and Ava tells her Niece "This will be the best thing for everyone right now." Jared changes subjects, as he asks his Wife "So how's our Son?" Sully smiles, and says "He's been on a roll today. He's ready to come on out." Ava smiles, and tells Sully "Xavier will be so proud to meet him." Sully tells her Aunt "It won't be much longer." Meanwhile at Chantel's, Millie and Javon talk, as they have a drink, and they catch up, as Javon tells Millie "It was nice when we were out in L.A." Millie sighs with love in her eyes "Yes it was Javon. With us though." Javon asks "With us? What else happened after Mom and I left town?" Millie tells him, as she grows quiet, and looks away "I don't like talking about it. It happened a few months ago, when I was at the film set for that damn movie." Javon, with anger growing in his eyes, asks "Did Walter.." Millie nods, and Javon asks "Does Xavier or your family know?" Millie shakes her head, as she tells Javon "My family has enough on them, and when Dad came to visit for a day, he asked me what was wrong, and I told him not to concern himself with me." Javon pulls out his pistol, and tells Millie "I know he's got cancer, and I am more than willing to pay the sick bastard that I called Dad long ago an overdue visit." Millie stops Javon, and pleads "No. Please don't. He said he'd ruin me. He's already hurting my family." Javon snaps in a forceful tone "And I'm about to ruin him." Monica meanwhile arrives, as she notices Millie and Javon, and walks over and asks her Son "What's going on?" Javon looks at Millie, as Monica asks "He slept with you against your will also? He always liked his trophies." Javon yells "And I'm about to kill that son of a bitch too!" Monica stops her Son, and tells him "Javon, he's going to destroy himself. Not a matter of if, but when. He's already made one mistake signing Millie to play in that movie, and you let his banker take care of him." Millie asks "And who's his banker?" Monica responds "Angelica Hale."
At Hell Hill, Beth sits downstairs, as there's a knock at the door, and Beth walks to the door, as Frank stands on the other side, and Beth tells Frank "I'm sorry we haven't kept in touch.." Frank stops her, and responds gently "I understand Beth. Keep your focus on Xavier. Speaking of him, where is he? Beth sighs "He's in the study, barely leaves. He goes to bed, gets on Ruth's elevator, comes downstairs, heads to the study, then back to bed. He's pitiful Frank. He looks like a walking dead man, and it scares the hell out of me." Frank hugs Beth, and assures her "You and I both know he's fighting this." Beth sighs as she tries not to cry "He barely speaks, and he has a stage three tumor in his neck as well. If he dies..." Frank stops Beth, and sternly tells her "He's not leaving this world. He's got the best Doctor in Adam's Landing for his Mother, who won't stop at nothing to make sure he lives." Beth quips "You're being too nice." Frank asks "Is he up for visitors?" Beth sighs "Walk in there and see if he's willing to visit." Frank heads into the study, as Beth sits on the couch, as the phone rings, and Beth answers, as Alexandra tells Beth "Be on the lookout." Beth goes "Leigh?" Alexandra, sitting in her office, sighs "Something's very off with Leigh. I think she's flipped." Beth tells her "Thank you for the warning." There's a knock at the door, as Beth answers to find her Brother and Sister In Law, as Allan and Olivia walks inside, and Beth tells her Brother "You are slow Allan. I'd thought you would have been here by now." Allan pulls Tenny's marijuana pouch from his pocket, and tells his Sister "We thought you'd need this." Beth smiles, and they walk out onto the front porch, as Beth tells her Brother "Good thing you rolled them up." In Xavier's study, Frank looks at his Brother, as Xavier's chair is turned towards the wall, as Frank asks "Up to visiting for a minute?" Xavier turns around, as Frank looks at his Brother, and gasps, as he asks "Did you take chemo? You're missing some hair?" Xavier tells Frank "I did a few rounds of it, and radiation, and hated it. I'd take it, and then have chills the next day, feel like complete shit. I'd rather have an aneurysm than this." Frank sighs, as he tries to keep his composure, and tells Xavier "I wish you didn't have either. Right now you are needed more than ever." Xavier goes "Summer and Jake's kidnapping? Are you still close to Jamie?" Frank responds "She's changed. I don't know who she is anymore. Money and fame turned Jamie into a.." Xavier quips "Stuck up whore?" Frank sighs with sadness "Yes Xavier. But changing the subject, you'd be proud to know I'm pulling a page from your book on finding Summer and Jake. Cale and Colt's awaiting word, and when I find out where they are, I'm sending them to get her. Cale's got excellent aim." Xavier breaks a smile, and responds "My nephew. I think I could bet where Summer is." Frank asks "Where?" Xavier asks "Checked Santo's Manor? Angelica still owns it." Frank tells his Brother "Well I'll send Cale and Colt that way then. Russell's in town as well helping, Andy's overseas right now on a mission trip." Xavier tells his Brother "You protect our family Frank. So far, I'm pleased. Father would be proud of you." Frank chokes up, as he walks out of the study, as he leaves, and walks out onto the porch, as Beth, Allan, and Olivia smokes joints, and Frank asks "Having a hippie convention out here?" Beth looks at Frank, and tells him "This may be just what Xavier needs to save him." Frank sighs "If I had it, I'd try it." Frank leaves, as Beth asks her Brother "Got everything?" Allan takes a toke, and responds "I got everything you asked for Big Sis." Olivia responds "My friend in Montserrat told me about this treatment, and it saved Eve Mathis, so if this can cure Brain Cancer, surely it'll cure Xavier's cancer." Beth tells her Brother, and Sister In Law, as she looks at everything "She was mentioned in one of those books Millie brought over. She's smart, and ironically, I trained her." Allan quips "My Sister's a hell of a doctor."
At the ALPD, Bree sits inside her office, as Russell sits at her desk, and sighs with disgust "Shit!" Bree asks "What's going on Russell?" Russell sighs with anger "I have to return to Capital City tonight to break a gridlock in the state senate. I swear those assholes are idiots!" Bree asks "What about Summer and Jake?" Russell tells Bree "I'll be keeping in touch, and I feel safe knowing you have everyone in your corner Bree." Bree sighs with sadness "I just wish we could have killed Angelica when she was here earlier." Russell hugs Bree, and reminds her "Stay level-headed Bree. She's psycho, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's involved in this gridlock." Bree sighs "So she's bought off politicians as well?" Russell goes "Politics." Russell walks out, as he tells Bree "You have a surprise visitor." Bree is curious, as Ciarra walks inside, and Bree exclaims "Grandma!" Ciarra hugs her Granddaughter tightly, and asks "How are you? Looks like you haven't gotten much sleep worrying about Summer and Jake." Bree tells her Grandmother "Have a seat. How's Uncle Floyd?" Ciarra sighs "He's not well Bree. He really injured his back when he had that farming accident, and Maria's in charge while I'm here." Bree goes "Have you went to see Aunt Beth and Xavier?" Ciarra responds "My next stop, but I wanted to check on you. I don't regret opening up about being your Grandmother, or Summer's, but I'm not sure if I'd done it with what I know now." Bree responds with sadness "My Mom's hurt many people in town, and still hurting people." Ciarra asks "What can we do to save Summer and Jake?" Bree responds in a tone of defeat "Nothing Grandma. Angelica's done made that loud and clear." Ciarra asks "Think if I talk to Jamie, that it would help?" Bree shakes her head, and sighs "Nope." Ciarra tells her Granddaughter "I'm staying at Hell Hill, and if you need me, you call me sweetie. I'm not scared of talking to Jamie. I blame her for Tennessee passing away." Bree asks "How did you know about Xavier?" Ciarra, standing at the door, responds "A bluebird sat in my window after that news story broke, and it transformed into Tennessee, and she sternly told me to come back or she'd haunt Floyd." Bree breaks a laugh, as Ciarra responds "If you ever see a bluebird, it could be Tennessee. She's still around." Ciarra leaves for Hell Hill, as Bree sits at her desk, as her phone rings, and she answers, as it's Frank, as he drives home to The Farm, and tells his Niece "Send the ALPD to Santiago Manor." Bree asks "Do you think that's wise?" Frank tells Bree "Trust me Bree. Cale and Colt are waiting for me." Frank hangs up, and Bree makes a phone call, as she tells the Chief Of Police "Be on standby."
At The Evans Home, Aretha, Rashad, and Little Sidney sits in the living room, as Aretha looks towards her Mother's bedroom, as Willie sits inside, and writes a letter to her family, and becomes confused, as she says to herself "Damn!" Outside, Sayyid sits on the phone with Thelma, as he tells his Sister of Willie's decision, and Thelma responds "I don't like this Clem!" Sayyid yells "I don't give a shit what you like! I don't like it either, but damnit it's what she wants, so let's support her! Get your ass down to Adam's Landing!" Thelma, sitting in her home in Captial City, sighs "Ok! I'm on my way." Sayyid warns before hanging up "If you even start any shit, we'll fight! I mean it!" Sayyid hangs up, as Aretha walks outside, and asks her Uncle "How are you?" Sayyid asks "Where's Terrance?" At Chantel's, Terrance and Monica meets up, as Monica tells Terrance "Javon's with Millie. They dated when he was still in L.A." Terrance quips "He's smart. I'd say he got it from his Dad." Monica slyly says to Terrance "And me. He should be here any moment." Terrance quips "Maybe he and Millie's reconnecting? But word of caution, she dated Aretha's Son at one time. And Rashad still has feelings for her." Monica sighs "I'm sorry, but I can't stand Aretha at all. She's still the same bitch she was 20 years ago and never forgives or forgets." Terrance responds "She takes after Uncle Clem. She has her moments." Monica reaches out to Terrance, and grabs his hand, and asks "So I've wanted to ask you something. Do you still have feelings for me?" Terrance looks at Monica silently, as he responds "We made a Son, and I didn't know about him for years. I am gay you know." Monica responds "You mean bi-sexual? I see those almond eyes." Terrance takes a deep breath, and sighs "My Ex-Boyfriend said the same thing, and hell, maybe he was right. I do still have feelings for you Monica Carver. I've never gotten over you." Monica looks at Terrance, as they look into each other's eyes, and they kiss, and Terrance backs away, and responds "I haven't kissed a woman like that since.." Monica goes "Since me? Want to get a room?" Terrance tells Monica "Let's not go that far yet. You were always fast." Monica smiles, as she tells Terrance "I want to make up for hurting you. Let's give our Son the family he deserves." Terrance agrees, but tells her "I'm here for him, but right now my main concern's for my Mama, and making her last days as great as they can be." Monica asks "Last days?" Terrance stutters, as he starts to cry "She's asked for an assisted-suicide Monica." Monica gasps, as she tells Terrance "I hurt her leaving town. I want to make peace with her before she passes." Terrance tells Monica "It's time you do that, and she meets our Son." Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, inside Javon's suite, the phone rings, as Javon turns the phone off, and looks at Millie, as she lays in the bed, and Javon asks "How was that?" Millie gets up, and whispers "Perfect." Millie leads Javon into the shower, as they are hand in hand, and in the shower, Javon and Millie has sex, as she wraps her legs around Javon's waist, as he holds her in his arms.
At Walter's Mansion, Walter returns as Jamie looks at Walter, as he asks "So have you re-considered?" Jamie shakes her head, and tells Walter "I am ready to pay that evil bitch back!" Walter yells "Look Jamie, I forbid it! I mean it now! We have a movie to make, and a sequel. Focus on that!" Jamie yells "If my Daughter and Grandson aren't saved, then kiss that damn sequel goodbye!" Walter yells back forcefully "You will do what I say Jamie! Do you hear me? My damn career's on the line!" A door opens from upstairs, as Walter looks up and asks "Who's here?" Ava and Winston walks down the stairs, as Ava looks at Walter, and tells him sternly "My Sister also grown brains, and damn if I have chills." Walter looks at Jamie, with a puzzled look, as he asks "When did you join up with the woman who tried to kill you twice?" Jamie looks at her Sister, as Ava tells Walter "I told her the truth, and it's out in the open. Next stop will be The Exposer, and then the auction, and I'll give Aretha the money to buy your ass out if you're not killed first!" Jamie tells Walter "After our brunch, and thinking it over, I went to my Sister, and she and Winston told me some things. Game over Walter." Walter yells at Winston and Ava "This is MY house, and the two of you needs to get lost! Did Jamie tell you she's giving me a child? Have you called Maria Jackson yet?" Ava looks at her Sister with shock, as she quips "Ok I feel warm. What about Maria? Jamie..." Jamie sighs "Maria's about to be a Grandmother. Someone's in town, and they will carry the child Walter and I want to have." Ava warns her Sister "You fooled me whore, and you'll regret this. Bet on that! And you save your own ass, because someone else is in town, and when I see her, I'll inform her of this news!" Winston and Ava walks out, as Ava mumbles to her Husband "I can't believe this shit!" Winston sighs "I told you this was too good to be true Ava." Back inside, Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "Just so you know, she's hasn't been implanted yet. Not until Summer's returned home safe and sound, and Jake!" Walter yells "I'm going upstairs!" Jamie warns Walter "You do that, and tell Angelica I know you owe her!" Walter yells at Jamie "Ava's lying to you to protect your crazy ass family Jamie!" Jamie goes "Whatever Walter." Walter slams the bedroom door, as Jamie makes a phone call to Shannon Issac, now grown, and tells her "Ciarra's in town."
As the day comes to a close in Adam's Landing, at Sully and Jared's Penthouse, Sully, Jared, and Ruthie sits in the living room, as Sully tells her Husband "I don't know what's going on with Mom, but when I see her, I'm kicking her ass!" Jared reminds his Wife "Remember one thing, you're pregnant." Sully boldly tells Jared "She's not being there for Daddy, and Gracie and Xavier Jr has no clue what's going on with her. It makes my damn blood boil Jared." Ruthie tells her parents "She never lets me call her Grandma." Sully looks at her Daughter, and gently responds "Queenie, I don't know how to explain your Grandmother at this time, but your Grandpa loves you very much, and your Great Grandma too." Ruthie sighs with sadness "She told me she hated me." Sully's eyes widen, as she asks "When?" Ruthie goes "Earlier. She walked inside the nursery, and she said she hated kids." Ruthie starts to cry, as Jared asks Sully "Should we tell Xavier or Beth?" Sully tells her Husband, as they console Ruthie "I'll deal with Mom myself. If my Grandma or Daddy finds out, all hell will break loose, and it will, and from me!" At The Inn, Leigh drinks a glass of vodka, as Country sits next to her, as Leigh goes "So why are you so standoffish?" You're cute?" Country asks "Are you trying to have me killed Leigh?" Leigh smiles, and whispers in Country's ear "I'm not Leigh, my name is Erica, and I want you to myself." Unknown to them, Bobby walks inside, as he looks at Leigh and Country, and Bobby walks up, and asks Leigh "Have you forgotten you have a Husband and kids?" Leigh a.k.a. Erica asks Bobby "Who has a Husband and kids? Not me. I am young, and I want to have fun. Now excuse us buzzkill, while I take this strapping man to a room." Bobby grabs Leigh's arm, and tells her "Xavier needs you Leigh!" Leigh screams "The damn name is ERICA!" Leigh slaps Bobby, as she struts out, and Country asks Bobby "What's wrong with her?" Bobby responds "I don't know, but if I were you, I'd leave town." Country sighs "I think I'll do that. Give Xavier my best." Bobby walks out, as Country shakes his head, going "Erica? What in the hell?" At Hell Hill, Beth walks inside Xavier's study, as she carries a box with her, as Allan and Olivia has left, and Beth tells her Son "Here's what you need to get well baby." Beth pulls out a bottle, and takes out a spoon, and tells her Son "This is cannabis oil. Also known as hemp oil. This is the best cure for cancer." Xavier looks at his Mother, as he takes some, and asks "What's the other stuff?" Beth tells her Son "This machine's a vaporizer, with THC, and you breathe it, and it helps kill the cancer cells, and here's a vitamin I want you to take called B12." Xavier looks everything over, as he asks "Are you sure this will work Mother?" Beth nods, and tells her Son "It cured Eve Mathis, and she was close to death. This will cure you." Xavier looks over the vaporizer, and takes a B12 pill, as the doorbell rings, and Xavier tells his Mother "Go see who it is?" Beth nods, as she heads into the living room, and opens the door, and cries "Aunt Ciarra! Mama told me you were coming to town." Ciarra, with suitcase in hand, quips "That bluebird really spoils surprises doesn't she?" Beth smiles, and tells her Aunt "I'm so glad you're here." Ciarra holds her Niece tightly, as she tells Beth "My family needs me, and I'll be here until Xavier gets well." Unknown to them, Tenny's spirit watches, with a smile, as she walks into the study, and looks at her Grandson, and Xavier goes "Grandma? Am I hallucinating? Tenny responds "No, you're not Xavier. Ciarra's here, and I'm watching over you, as are these people. J.D., Ruth, and B.R.'s spirits stands next to Tenny, as Xavier starts to cry, and B.R. tells his Son "We're not ready for you yet." Ruth tells her Grandson "We are watching over all of you, so if you feel a cold breeze, know it's only us." J.D. looks at his Grandson, as he holds Tenny, and tells him "Beth needs you, and you'll win this battle. I know." They disappear, as Xavier looks at his Grandmother's marijuana pouch, and pulls out a joint, and says to himself "I will win this fight." Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Bree, Frank, Cale, Colt, Ava, and Winston are inside, as they discuss strategy, and Ava has filled everyone in on her meeting with Jamie, as she tells her Niece "Jamie showed her love today for Summer and Jake, and I think she's finally seeing the light." Winston mumbles to himself "Possibly." Ava tells her Husband "I think she's starting to wake up." Frank asks Winston "Since you were Married to Angelica, what should we do?" Winston advises Frank, Cale, and Colt "Bait her. She wants Jake, he carries the bloodline. As for Summer, Angelica doesn't care about money, she's sick, and would rather watch her die than to receive money. There's more than meets the eye with her." Bree boldly yells "I want her DEAD!" Ava sighs "Well Bree, that's what we all want, but to defeat Angelica, we'll all have to play the game as she'd play it." Frank asks "And what way is that?" Winston tells everyone "We need a mole we can trust, and I have the perfect candidate." Bree asks "And who are you thinking of?" Winston responds "Jared." At the Santiago Manor, Summer sits inside her room, as she hears Angelica holding Jake, and telling him "You will love your legacy. Grandma has big plans for you." Summer cries, as Angelica turns the monitor off, as she walks inside a room, as she holds her Grandson, and looks at someone, and tells him "I have everything in motion. You will soon have everything you need to survive." The man, in a coma, is unresponsive, as Angelica kisses him, and tells Jake, as he squirms "Forget about Mommy, money's not going to save her, because I plan to kill her to save this man. He's more worthy of breathing than she is."
A weekly fictional soap-opera about the going-ons in the Southeastern city of Adam's Landing,revolving around the Jackson, Sullivan, Hale, Evans, and DuBois families, and everything in-between.

Daylight And Darkness 2.0: Season 1. Episode 4. Secrets And Choices
As the next week arrives in Adam's Landing, at Hell Hill, Xavier sits inside his study, as he wears a robe, and opens a pill bottle, as he reads The Exposer, and The Gossiper, as Gracie and Xavier Jr runs inside, as Sully follows, and asks "Reading that story on Mom?" Xavier nods, as he tells Sully "Mother spoke to Aretha and Terrance, and they're not pressing charges. She's coming home this morning." Sully asks "Where's Millie?" Xavier tells his Daughter "She's staying at Alexandra's. I thought you'd seen her?" Sully responds to her Father "We've kept in touch. Can't believe that son of a bitch's trying to make a movie on our family. Jamie's trying to destroy us." Xavier's silent, as Sully asks "Daddy, you've been quiet since you've returned. And you haven't barely left the house. Are you alright?" Xavier looks at Gracie and Xavier Jr, and reaches out his arms, and hugs them, as he tells Sully "I'm fine, just taking it easy. Just keep balance at Jackson Inc, and take care of yourself Princess." Gracie asks "Am I a princess Daddy?" Xavier smiles, and gently tells his young Daughter "Yes you are sweetie." Xavier turns towards his Son, as he's quiet, and tells him "And you are my Son. I love all of you. Have a good day." Sully hugs her Father, as she takes her Brother and Sister to school, as Xavier hears the door close, and picks up the bottle of pills, and takes one, as he is silent, with a despondent look on his face.
At The Evans Home, Willie sits in the living room, as Rashad returns from taking Little Sidney to school, as Aretha tells her Mother "After that wreck, you're not driving again!" Willie yells at Aretha "Damnit, I already have dementia, and now I'm an invalid? Don't take my damn keys or I'll throw your ass out of this damn house Thelma!" Rashad is silent, as Aretha sighs "Mama, do you just realize what you called me?" Willie asks "What did I call you?" Aretha responds "Aunt Thelma, and she's arriving today to visit." Willie snaps "She just wants to enjoy this. Snooty ass bitch! Hell all of you must think I'm at death's door. Every damn body's coming out of the woodwork! Aretha, just leave me the hell alone! All of you! I don't need your damn pity!" Willie heads to her bedroom, and slams the door, as Rashad asks his Mother "Can we just let her be Mom? She knows she's losing her memory. She asked me yesterday when Little Sidney was born, and then snapped on me." Aretha looks at her Son, as she tells him "Rashad, she's not the person I know, this is a nasty disease. Think about when your Grandpa had it, he went quiet, but Mama's is worse, and she's fighting so hard, but she has flashbacks, and she thinks that your Grandpa's still alive." Rashad gets emotional, as he tells his Mother "I hate this so much." Aretha hugs Rashad, and sighs with sadness "We all do baby boy. But we got to hold it together." Aretha asks Rashad "So are you staying here today?" Rashad nods, and Aretha tells him "I'm heading down to the office, and Uncle Clem should be back soon. He went to pick up Aunt Thelma at the Airport." Rashad nods, as Aretha heads out, as Sayyid pulls in the driveway, and Aretha asks her Uncle "Where's Aunt Thelma?" Sayyid tells his Niece "She wasn't at the airport. And I haven't spoke to her." Aretha quips "The Ross women are all stubborn and set in their ways." Sayyid sighs "Ain't that the damn truth." Aretha gets into her car, as Sayyid sits outside, and calls his youngest Sister, as Thelma, who lives in Captial City answers, and tells her Brother "Tell Willie I'll be there soon. I'm still taking it in. So understand that Clem. We are the last three left, and I am having a hard time." Sayyid sighs on the other end "I understand completely, she's slipping very fast. Like she used to tell us "We have to fight." And you may want to come on home." Thelma tells her Brother "Well then, I'll be in town tonight." Thelma hangs up, and Sayyid walks inside, as his phone rings, and responds "I have to turn it down Winston. I'm looking after my Sister now."
At the ALPD, Beth arrives, as Leigh sits in the lobby, and sighs with disgust "Oh hell. I thought X or Sully was coming down here." Beth smiles "I volunteered Leigh, and you and I are going to have a talk." Leigh tells her Mother In Law "Thank you for talking to Willie's family." Beth responds "So have you gotten your head straight? Leaving my two Grandkids alone was low. You are very insecure." Leigh snaps "Don't pull that on me. You've ran back and forth between Bobby, and Frank. And you're calling me insecure?" Beth warns Leigh "Bobby and I have an understanding, and as for you, I cleaned the house, and the vodka's gone." Leigh yells "If Xavier decides to leave town again, I'm divorcing him.." Beth responds calmly "He's been home since you were arrested, and he's not himself. I don't think he's been out cheating on you Leigh, and if you cause him any more stress, I'll kick your ass." Leigh sighs "Just take me home!" Beth responds in a stern tone "I will, and if you pull one stunt of any kind, you'll answer to me." Leigh yells "Just take me home!" Meanwhile at Alexandra's Penthouse, Alexandra sits in the living room, as Millie sits with her Grandmother, and Colt, as Alexandra yells at her Husband "Coffee!" Colt snaps "Am I your damn butler?" Alexandra smiles at her Granddaughter, and sighs "He's still being trained." Millie is quiet, as Alexandra tells her "What's bothering you? You've been in town for a week, and you're not yourself." Millie tells her Grandmother "Something's off with Dad Grandmum." Alexandra hands Millie a cup of coffee, as she sits, and asks "So what do you know? I know you saw him in L.A.?" Millie sighs "He was wearing a heavy coat, and he was different, he just wanted to tell me he loved me, and he was retiring." Colt quips "That doesn't sound like the legend of Xavier Jackson." Alexandra tells her Granddaughter "There's many rumors swirling around town about him." Millie tells her Grandmother "All I know is something's not right. He's not himself." Alexandra looks at her Granddaughter, and tells her "When Jamie Marx sold her soul to Angelica Hale, then everything changed, and many blame it on the death of Tenny. And I'm appalled Walter DuBois wanted you to play Leigh in the movie." Millie is silent, as she has a thought, and closes her eyes for a moment, as Angelica asks "What's wrong?" Millie sighs "Nothing."
Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Bree, Frank, Bobby, and Country are in the living room, as Bree tells them "Russell's coming to town today." Frank asks Bobby "So does this have anything to do with Jamie and Angelica?" Bobby responds "She financed that book, and Jamie does owe her money for her plastic surgeries, and more." Bree nods, as Frank adds "My Sister's a different person than she used to be years ago." Bobby quips "Jamie's always been a whore. Everyone knows that." Frank agrees, as Country sighs "I should of just killed her when Xavier, Ava, and Winston ordered her death a few years ago." Bobby tells Country "You really betrayed Xavier when the truth all come out, and he still has a bounty, but I will work on him when you at least save Jake." Country tells them "I don't know where she is, but I have checked the entire area and Valley Ridge, and haven't found her." Jamie arrives, as she asks her Daughter "Well any clues?" Everyone turns to Jamie, and Bree tells her Mother "Don't come here and pretend you give a damn. You put her in this place." Frank asks his Sister "Who in the hell are you?" Jamie tells them "I want Summer safe, and I'm exposing our crazy ass family!" Bobby warns Jamie "That won't work out too well for you. It's only a matter of time." Jamie laughs "Ok Mayor Whitten, and all, I'm leaving, and find my Daughter." Jamie walks out, as Bree yells in anger "That bitch! I want to kill her for all this!" Frank sighs with sadness "That isn't the Jamie I knew." Bobby warns them "Her fiancee's making a movie off her book, and planning a sequel." Bree rolls her eyes, as does Frank, as Country tells them "So back to killing?" At The Santiago Manor, in a bedroom, sits Summer, as she's angry, and holds Jake's blanket, as Angelica and Jake walks inside, and Angelica smiles, looking at Summer "Little guy loves his Grandmother. He'll be an excellent heir. Finally one who can carry on my legacy." Summer snarls "Let us go! We have nothing to do between you and my Mom you senile bitch!" Angelica sighs "Bad thing to say. Bad thing really, Mommy hasn't been giving a shit, Bree's unable to save you, and Jamie has that knack to get selfish. She has to pay me, or else you will die, and Jake will see blood for the first time." Summer snaps "You are sick!" Angelica, holding her Grandson, laughs "Your Mother is sick. I'm happy that I got what I want." Angelica and Jake leaves the room, and Angelica locks the door from outside, as Summer says to herself, with a scared look on her face "Pay her Mom. For Jake."
At City Hospital, Terrance and Olivia sits inside Terrance's office, as Olivia and Terrance reads the e-mail again, as Terrance asks "So have they called yet?" Olivia warns Terrance "We can't keep hiding this. This could cost us our careers. Although they want this to stay secret. They're forgetting some things." Terrance asks "Has Allan tried to get the info from you?" Olivia responds "He asked me about it a few times, and I told him I couldn't tell him, and he understood." Terrance tells Olivia "Well, there's one thing we can do Olivia." Olivia asks "And what might that be?" Terrance types in Beth's e-mail address, and tells her "An accidental forwarding. I don't think they would go after us. She isn't blind Olivia." Olivia nods with worry "I know Terrance." Meanwhile at Walter's Mansion, Walter sits in the living room, as he tells the person on the other line "Oh! Shit! This is working perfectly. Full of secrets. How did you find this out?" The person on the other line tells him, and Walter smiles "Post that one as breaking news, and post it on our show also. Controversy sells, and this will line my wallet nicely." Walter hangs up, as Monica and Javon walks inside, and Walter asks his Ex-Wife "Why in the hell are you here with him?" Javon tells Walter "I came to make sure my Mom gets her things from that slut you are bedding." Monica quips "Considered being checked for an STD Walter?" Walter snaps at Monica "Everything here is mine! The only thing you have is that bastard that I had to allow to call me Daddy all these years. So are you gay Javon?" Javon rushes to Walter, and yells "Shut the hell up! I've met Terrance Evans, and he's got more morals than you ever have Walter!" Monica tells Walter "I'm getting my things." Monica walks upstairs, as Walter yells "Do go through my shit! I do have a way to stop you!" Javon asks "And what might that be Walter? Because I'm here, and Ava gave me this, and if you try, I'll put you out." Walter quips "You're going crazy working at Jackson Inc. How about you tell Ava about her Brother. Oh wait, she's going to find out today." Javon demands "What's wrong?" Walter laughs "You will find out when the rest of them do. And Jamie's book and movie will make millions and millons of hard cold cash!" Monica walks downstairs meanwhile, and yells "So where's my things?" Walter goes "I gave them to Jamie." Monica glares at her Ex-Husband, and tells him "Remember one thing bastard, wasn't for me, you'd never be the tabloid king. I can't wait to see you fall flat on your ass." Monica and Javon leaves, as Walter sits back, and his phone rings, and he looks at the ID, and answers, and responds "I've got my bases covered."
At Jackson Inc, Ava, Winston, and Jared sits inside Ava's office, as Ava tells her Husband "So it's done, and Allan and Nathan have signed off and approve." Jared asks "What about Ciarra? She should be the one to announce the comeback of Sullivan's." Ava sighs "Uncle Floyd's still recovering from his accident at the farm, and she has no desire to come back to town. Who can blame her?" Winston asks "And Beth?" Jared tells his Grandfather "She's at Hell Hill today. She went to pick Leigh up from jail." Ava tells Jared "I've spoken to her, as have Sully, and she gives the go ahead. She did say though she doesn't want a part in the business. So I'll be handling things for her, but she will be on the Sullivan's board of directors." Winston tells his Grandson "Now we will just focus on Foodstar and our subsidiaries at HaleCorp." Meanwhile outside Jackson Inc, Sully arrives, as paparazzi swarms her, as a reporter asks "Is it true about your Daddy?" Sully glares at everyone, and snaps "Screw off!" Another reporter asks "I hear he's sick?" Sully snaps "Yeah! Sick of Jamie Marx attacking his family! Now go on somewhere else before I call the ALPD on your asses!" Sully walks inside, as she fumes with anger. In Ava's office, her secretary walks inside, and tells her "Turn on the TV. Good thing Winston's here." Ava turns on the TV, as silence fills the room, and Winston and Jared are silent, with their eyes glued to the TV, as Ava is silent, with anger in her eyes, as Sully storms in and yells "There's paparazzi all over this damn building! What in the hell is going on?" Ava tells her Niece "I don't know Sully, but I'm about to know." Sully yells "I'm following you Aunt Ava!" Winston and Jared follows behind, as they head to Hell Hill.
Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Beth and Leigh returns, as they walk inside, and Leigh asks her Mother In Law "Where's X?" Beth responds "Maybe sleeping. He's not himself Leigh." Leigh walks into her Husband's study, as Beth follows, where Xavier's pill bottle sits on his desk, and Beth looks at the pills, as the chair's turned, and Beth asks "Xavier, what are you doing with painkillers?" Leigh yells "Turn around Xavier!" Xavier turns his chair around, and asks his Mother and Wife "Watched the news yet?" Beth answers "I heard a story on the radio on my way back here. So is this just fodder so Jamie can sell her damn book and that movie?" Xavier's silent, as Beth warns her Son "These painkillers are very strong baby. They can hurt your stomach. Remember that aneurysm?" Xavier nods, as Leigh asks "What are you hiding? TELL ME WHAT IT IS!" Beth whispers to Leigh "You're going with me." Leigh yells at Beth "You don't control me!" Xavier gets up, and tells them "Both of you shut the hell up. I'm going upstairs." Xavier walks out of the study, as Beth looks at her Daughter In Law, and tells Leigh "That tone doesn't sound good." Leigh asks "Well Beth, since you've been here, has my Husband told you anything?" Beth shakes her head, and replies "No. And if he wants to talk about it, then he can when he's ready." Leigh yells "Well I'm about to find out what he's keeping from me!" Beth grabs Leigh's arm, and warns her "Don't start no shit with him Leigh." Leigh yells "Don't you have some things to do Beth?" Beth smiles "I'm retired, so I'm watching over my family now." Beth walks out, as she checks her tablet, and notices a message, and Beth reads intently, as Leigh walks out of the study and yells "X!" Beth looks at Leigh, and tells her "Shut that yelling up. I'm going down to City Hospital! Go check on Class!" Leigh tells Beth "I'm about to get my Husband to open up to me Beth, so see you later." Leigh storms upstairs, as Beth glares at Leigh, and leaves.
At The Exposer, Aretha sits at her desk, as she reads the news on The Gossiper, and says to herself "Someone's got a real death wish." Aretha picks up her phone, as she calls Terrance, and asks her Brother "Watching the TV?" Terrance, with Olivia at City Hospital, responds "Yes we are. And the person who leaked this will pay dearly for it." Aretha asks "Does anyone else know yet?" At City Hospital, Allan, Nathan, Rose, and A.J. arrives, and Terrance tells his Sister "I expect things to get heated." Terrance hangs up, and back at The Exposer, Monica and Javon walks back inside, and Aretha asks "Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from here Monica?" Monica asks Aretha "Don't you want to know your Nephew?" Aretha looks at Javon, and tells him "I'm your Aunt, but I have no damn use for your Mama! Did she tell you?" Javon looks at Aretha, as Monica warns Aretha "Don't bring it up." Aretha snarks "I shouldn't tell Javon that you broke Terrance's heart, when you left town to work for Walter DuBois carrying my Brother's Son without even telling him? He never got over it!" Javon looks at his Mother, as Monica snaps back at Aretha "This should be discussed privately. Not in front of Javon." Aretha sighs "He's grown, and he should know." Javon asks his Mother "So Terrance never knew, but Aretha did?" Aretha adds "Mama knew also. But sadly she has dementia, and she isn't well." Monica quips "I wish you had dementia Aretha..." Aretha slaps Monica in the face, and yells "Hell no bitch, you didn't go there." Monica slaps Aretha back, and Aretha pulls Monica's wig off, and snaps "We had your back and then you stabbed my Brother in the damn back! I don't forgive that!" Monica yells at Aretha "Ok, if you want to fight, find somebody else to fight with bitch." Monica grabs her wig, as she tells Javon "Let's go!" Javon looks at his Mother, and tells her "You betrayed me Mom." Aretha tells Javon "The doors are open for you. Don't let Monica turn you against your family." Monica yells at Aretha "Go to hell you bitter old bitch!" Aretha quips "Ask Walter for more alimony so you can buy a better wig." Monica and Javon walks out, as Javon tells his Mother "I have to leave to think." Monica asks her Son "Do you hate me?" Javon responds "No Mom, I don't. But you and I both know Walter's a bastard, and if I'd known about the Evans Family, you could have left him sooner instead of last year." Monica sighs "I have my reasons." Javon leaves, as Monica shakes her head, and glares at the door to Aretha's office, as she leaves. Inside Aretha's office, Aretha sits back, as she reads The Gossiper, and says to herself "Walter's done messed up. He just picked the wrong damn fight."
Afternoon arrives, and at the Bree's Mansion, Bree and Frank sits inside her living room, as Bree and her Uncle watches the TV, and Frank tells his Niece "I have a feeling I need to check on Beth." Bree looks at her Uncle, and responds "Do you believe this tabloid shit?" Frank tells Bree "Everyone's been noticing that something's off with Xavier, and if this is true, then things are about to get bad." Bree sighs with disgust "My Mom will see dollar signs all over this, and not even think about my Sister. She doesn't care about her, or her Grandson. It makes me sick Uncle Frank." Frank hugs Bree, and assures her "Summer will be found Bree. I promise that." Bree looks at her Uncle, as he tells her "I'm going to head over to Cale and Allison's, and I'll get a search party going." Frank leaves, as Bree watches the TV, and shakes her head, and asks "What in the hell is happening to my family?" At Walter's Mansion, Jamie walks inside, as she asks Walter "So what is this I heard on the radio? Is it true?" Walter grins, and tells his fiancee "This will work beautifully. The door will be wide open for you Jamie." Jamie sighs "I want Summer to be released from Angelica." Walter puts his arm around Jamie, and assures her in a deceiving tone "I'm sure everything will be ok. How are you not sure your Sister, or family has her locked up somewhere?" Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "They are looking for her, and Angelica has made it known I owe her, but when you threaten the life of my Daughter, and my Grandson, then that's another story." Walter strokes Jamie's face, and asks "Want to head to the bedroom to wear off the tension?" Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "That's a great idea. Sex always helps." Walter smiles, as he and Jamie heads into the bedroom.
At The Evans Home, Willie stays inside her bedroom, as she reads her bible, as downstairs Sayyid hangs up the phone, as Rashad asks his Great-Uncle "So how's Eve?" Sayyid responds "She's better. May be paying a visit soon." Rashad tells Sayyid "It's time to go pick up Little Sidney." Sayyid tells him "Take him out for pizza, or down to FJR. I'm going to attempt to get through to Willie." Rashad nods, as he leaves, and Sayyid walks into his Sister's bedroom, as Willie sits on the edge of her bed, looking at a photo of Sidney, and turns, as Sayyid asks gently "How are you Willie?" Willie looks at her Brother, as she starts to cry, and responds "I don't know Clem. Maybe I should just grow used to that." Sayyid sits next to his Sister, and asks "Want to play 21?" Willie shakes her head, and looks at Sidney's photo, and responds "I wish I was with my Husband. I'm scared." Sayyid assures Willie "Your family's here. You won't be able to run away all of us Willie. And your friends as well." Willie sighs "This isn't the way it should be Clem." Sayyid looks at his Sister, and tells her "Life isn't fair Willie. But I'm your Brother, and I'm taking care of you, and so are Aretha, Terrance, Rashad, Little Sidney.." Willie sighs with sadness "I am a burden on them." Sayyid sternly tells Willie "No in the hell you are not! You are the one that holds the family together! And they understand." Willie looks at Sayyid, and says to him "I don't have many moments of clarity anymore. This new house confuses me, and I wish I was dead." Sayyid tells his Sister "As you always said, that's in God's hands Willie." Willie tells her Brother "When Sidney was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he asked Terrance to put him to sleep. I think I want that too." Sayyid tells his Sister "No you don't. That's not you." Willie tells Sayyid "When you have what I have, there's only one option, and that is death. Support my choice Daddy, I'm marrying Sidney..." Sayyid asks his Sister "Daddy?" Willie yells "Leave me the hell alone! Damnit!" Sayyid walks out of Willie's bedroom, as he hears glass break inside, as Willie screams "I can't take this! God let me die!"
Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Leigh walks inside the bedroom, as Xavier lays in the bed, despondent, and tells his Wife "Please just leave it alone." Leigh yells "No I won't leave it alone X! I'm your Wife, and I should know what in the hell are going on with you! Have you went crazy over Jamie's stunts? Are you having an affair? What is it!" Xavier yells "I'm not having a damn affair Leigh! And the shit you've pulled recently could have drove me crazy! I'm glad Princess left you in jail to dry out!" Leigh snaps "X, you need to get your shit together, and tell me the damn truth! Have you checked The Gossiper? Read the front page." Leigh throws the tablet at her Husband, as Xavier looks, and Leigh hears the door open downstairs, and asks her Husband "So what have you been doing in Blue Ridge X?" At City Hospital, Beth has arrived, as Terrance, Olivia, Allan, Nathan, Rose, and A.J. are inside Terrance's office, as Allan hugs his Sister, and Nathan and Rose also offer comfort, with Beth rejects, as she asks Terrance and Olivia "So what I heard is true?" Terrance nods, as Olivia tell Beth "I sent you the email. We agreed to do it as an accident. It was top secret." Beth quips "Well it's all over the damn news now! So this is why my Son's been taking trips?" Olivia looks at Beth silently, as does Terrance, as he pulls up some scans, and gets up, as Beth sits, and looks at them, and says to herself "No." Allan assures his Sister "I'm here Big Sis." Beth snaps at Allan, Nathan, and Rose "All of you already know?" Allan tells his Sister "Seen it on TV Beth." Olivia asks Beth "Anything any of us can do?" Beth yells "Yes! Tell me what in the hell is going on! I swear on my Mama's grave if something happens, I'll hold you, and Terrance accountable!" Beth storms out in a fury, as Allan looks at his Wife, and sighs "That's what I expected." Terrance tells everyone "Beth should have known." Olivia agrees, but tells everyone "If he wanted everybody to know, he'd said something." Allan shakes his head, and sighs "Classic trait of a Sullivan." Back at Hell Hill, Ava, Sully, Winston, and Jared arrive, as Ava tells her Niece "Sounds like Xavier and Leigh's in the bedroom." Leigh walks downstairs, and yells "We are having a private discussion!" Sully yells at her Mother "I want to talk to my Daddy!" The door opens, as Millie walks inside, and asks "What's this shit I'm hearing on TV?" Ava turns to her Niece, and tells Millie "That's why we're here." Leigh yells "If he'll tell anyone, it'll be his Wife!" Ava looks at Leigh, and quips "Damn if that menopause changed you. Let me get something straight with your ass, you won't keep a damn thing from Sully, Millie, myself, nobody in this damn room, so get off your damn high horse before I knock you off!" Sully runs upstairs, as Leigh warns Ava "I already have to deal with Beth, I won't tolerate your attitude as well." Winston warns Leigh "Ava and Xavier are close, so back off of my Wife.." Ava smiles at her Husband, and responds "I can fend for myself." In Xavier's bedroom, Xavier looks at the tablet, and throws it across the room, as Sully walks inside, and tells her Father "The paparazzi's swarming around here and Jackson Inc. Daddy what's going on? Please tell me." Xavier asks Sully "Why aren't you at the office?" Sully tells her Father "I love you, and I want to be here for you Daddy. I know something's not right." Xavier closes his eyes, and looks at Sully, and tells her slowly "Princess, there's nothing you can do. Nothing nobody can do. Leave it at that." Sully yells "No! Tell me why!" Xavier yells "Because Sully, there's nothing nobody can do!" Back downstairs, Leigh looks upstairs, and tells Ava, Winston, Jared, and Millie "Leave." Bobby arrives, as Sully walks downstairs, and Leigh yells at everyone "Now since Sully's downstairs, get out of here!" Sully looks at her Mother, as a look of defiance comes over everyone, as Sully boldly tells her Mother "Make us!"
At The Farm meanwhile, Frank sits in the living room, along with Cale, and Colt, as Frank tells his Son, and Colt "We are going to find Summer and Jake. I have a feeling Country's going to fail." Cale pulls out his rifle, as does Colt, as Frank asks Colt "So what do you know about Country?" Colt tells his boss "Well I know he said Jamie financed his hunting show." Frank sighs "All I needed to know. Poor Bree, her Daddy's got a dilemma. We need to watch him carefully, and what I want the two of you to do is be ready for when I tell both of you "It's time", that you do as I say." Cale and Colt nod in agreement. At Bree's Mansion, Bree sits in her living room, as she cries for her Sister, and Nephew, as there's a knock at the door. Bree walks to the door, as Russell Marx, stands on the other side, and Russell tells Bree "Bobby told me." Bree hugs Russell, as he assures Bree "My Daughter and Grandson will be found, and I'll make damn sure Jamie pays dearly. I'm Governor Marx now." At The Inn, Country sits at the bar, as he drinks a beer, and his phone rings, as it's Jamie, and Country answers, and tells Jamie "If I were you, I'd go hide." Jamie, laying in Walter's bed, sighs "Sorry. You need to find my Daughter, or I won't be financing...." Jamie hangs up, as Country yells "Shit!" At Walter's Mansion, Walter walks inside, as he tells Jamie "A business associate called. We found another actress to play Leigh in the movie, and everything's a go." Jamie laughs "Oh yes it is, but I want Jackson Inc. I am seeing an opening there." Walter smiles, as he tells his fiancee "Well I'd tell you to go for it baby." Jamie smiles, and responds "I am." Meanwhile at The Santiago Manor, Angelica walks inside Summer's bedroom, as Summer yells "Where's Jake?" Angelica smiles "He's with his nanny. Your Mother is failing, and I think Jake and I will get along nicely." Summer snarls at Angelica "He's my SON! Have you forgotten who my Father is?" Angelica laughs in an evil tone "Yes. I do. And his past will haunt him dear. And did I mention Jake called me Grandma?" Summer tries to slap Angelica, as Angelica slaps Summer to the floor, and hands her a baby monitor, and tells Summer "Watch me bond with Jake Santiago." Summer screams "Whitten!" Angelica motions for someone, as the nanny walks inside, and hands Jake to Angelica, as he squirms, as Angelica tells the nanny "Summer's feeling bitchy. Help her sleep for awhile." The nanny restrains Summer and sticks a syringe into her arm, as Angelica sighs "Keep it up, and what I have in mind will be worse than mere drug."
At City Hospital, Terrance and Olivia sits in Terrance's office, as Terrance tells Olivia "Beth was pissed at us." Olivia assures Terrance "She was just having a natural reaction." At Nathan and Rose's Penthouse, Allan sits with his Son and Daughter In Law, as A.J.'s in his room, with the door closed, as Allan lights a blunt, and tells his Son "I think I should have asked Big Sis if she needed to smoke." Nathan quips "I don't think marijuana relaxes Aunt Beth like it does us." Rose exclaims "As long as she isn't gunning for me, then I'm not worrying." Allan takes a toke, and passes to Nathan, and tells his Son and Daughter In Law "Beth will need us. And I know someone else she needs also." Nathan asks "Aunt Ciarra?" Allan nods, as he responds "With all that's going on, she may be the only one who can help my Sister since Mama's gone." At Hell Hill, Xavier lays in his bed, as Leigh walks upstairs, and snaps at her Husband "So X. Everyone's here, it's time to open up and tell everyone what you're hiding!" Downstairs, Sully, Ava, Millie, Winston, Jared, and Bobby stands in the living room, as Beth walks inside, and Sully and Millie turns towards their Grandmother, as Beth is silent, and Beth asks "I see everyone's here?" Sully, holding onto her Husband, as Jared holds his Wife, tells her Grandmother "Daddy yelled at me, and told me there's nothing nobody could do Grandma. And Mom's been arguing with him." Beth looks around, as she walks upstairs, as she walks into Xavier and Leigh's bedroom, and slaps Leigh forcefully across the face, and snaps "Take your ass downstairs!" Leigh snaps back at Beth "I'm Xavier's Wife!" Beth snaps "And I am his Mother! Don't try me now!" Leigh yells at her Husband "It's not over X!", as she heads downstairs, and Beth looks at her Son, and tells Xavier "Take off your robe." Xavier looks at his Mother, as he unties his robe, and Beth gasps, as she tells her Son "My baby. Mama's here, and so are you family. It's time you tell them Son." Xavier looks at his Mother, and Beth tells her Son "Come on Xavier. Let's walk downstairs." Xavier gets up, as Beth follows her Son, and downstairs, Leigh yells "Beth's about to really piss me off. She needs a damn life!" Bobby takes a deep breath, as Ava yells "Her life's her family Leigh! Do you want to go a round with me also?" Leigh shakes her head, as Sully warns her Mother "Shut the hell up talking about Grandma!" Beth and Xavier walks downstairs, as Sully, Millie, Ava, Winston, Jared, and Bobby stands by the stairway, as Leigh fumes in the corner, as Beth helps her Son to his chair, as Beth looks at Xavier, and gently tells him "It's ok." Xavier looks at everyone, and he closes his eyes, as Beth puts her hand on her Son's shoulder, as Ava looks at Xavier, as Winston stands next to his Wife, and Millie stands on the other side of Xavier, as does Sully and Jared, as Bobby stands next to Beth, as Leigh yells "Go ahead and admit it X!" Xavier looks at everyone in the room, and tears begin to flow from his eyes, as he tells his family "I have cancer, and my days are numbered." Leigh gasps with shock, as she says to herself "No. No." Sully asks her Father, with tears "Daddy, is that why you stepped down and been away?" Xavier nods, as Beth tells everyone "From here on out, I will be taking care of my Son, and we'll beat this." Xavier sighs "Mother, it's too late." Millie yells with tears "Fight Dad! You have to!" Sully pleads "What about Gracie, Xavier Jr? Ruthie, and her little brother on the way?" Xavier sighs "I have oral cancer, and I'm out of options." Xavier gets up, as Ava walks over to her Brother, and reminds him "You don't give up. Winston had leukemia, and he beat it, and a Jackson has ice in their veins, and we don't give up without a damn fight." Xavier looks at his Sister, and tells Ava somberly "I have fought this, but now I have to plan my exit." Xavier heads back upstairs, as Leigh shakes her head with disbelief, as Sully cries for her Father, as does Millie, as Ava asks Beth "What are his options?" Beth's voice trembles, as she responds "For the first time in my life, I don't think there are any options left. My Son's dying." Beth breaks down, as Bobby, Ava, and Winston comfort her, as Xavier returns to his bedroom, and cries, as Sully, Millie, and Leigh walks inside, and Leigh cries "I'm sorry X." Xavier opens his arms, as he holds his Wife, and Daughters, as they cry together, scared of what's to come.
At The Evans Home, Willie sits in the living room, as Rashad returns from taking Little Sidney to school, as Aretha tells her Mother "After that wreck, you're not driving again!" Willie yells at Aretha "Damnit, I already have dementia, and now I'm an invalid? Don't take my damn keys or I'll throw your ass out of this damn house Thelma!" Rashad is silent, as Aretha sighs "Mama, do you just realize what you called me?" Willie asks "What did I call you?" Aretha responds "Aunt Thelma, and she's arriving today to visit." Willie snaps "She just wants to enjoy this. Snooty ass bitch! Hell all of you must think I'm at death's door. Every damn body's coming out of the woodwork! Aretha, just leave me the hell alone! All of you! I don't need your damn pity!" Willie heads to her bedroom, and slams the door, as Rashad asks his Mother "Can we just let her be Mom? She knows she's losing her memory. She asked me yesterday when Little Sidney was born, and then snapped on me." Aretha looks at her Son, as she tells him "Rashad, she's not the person I know, this is a nasty disease. Think about when your Grandpa had it, he went quiet, but Mama's is worse, and she's fighting so hard, but she has flashbacks, and she thinks that your Grandpa's still alive." Rashad gets emotional, as he tells his Mother "I hate this so much." Aretha hugs Rashad, and sighs with sadness "We all do baby boy. But we got to hold it together." Aretha asks Rashad "So are you staying here today?" Rashad nods, and Aretha tells him "I'm heading down to the office, and Uncle Clem should be back soon. He went to pick up Aunt Thelma at the Airport." Rashad nods, as Aretha heads out, as Sayyid pulls in the driveway, and Aretha asks her Uncle "Where's Aunt Thelma?" Sayyid tells his Niece "She wasn't at the airport. And I haven't spoke to her." Aretha quips "The Ross women are all stubborn and set in their ways." Sayyid sighs "Ain't that the damn truth." Aretha gets into her car, as Sayyid sits outside, and calls his youngest Sister, as Thelma, who lives in Captial City answers, and tells her Brother "Tell Willie I'll be there soon. I'm still taking it in. So understand that Clem. We are the last three left, and I am having a hard time." Sayyid sighs on the other end "I understand completely, she's slipping very fast. Like she used to tell us "We have to fight." And you may want to come on home." Thelma tells her Brother "Well then, I'll be in town tonight." Thelma hangs up, and Sayyid walks inside, as his phone rings, and responds "I have to turn it down Winston. I'm looking after my Sister now."
At the ALPD, Beth arrives, as Leigh sits in the lobby, and sighs with disgust "Oh hell. I thought X or Sully was coming down here." Beth smiles "I volunteered Leigh, and you and I are going to have a talk." Leigh tells her Mother In Law "Thank you for talking to Willie's family." Beth responds "So have you gotten your head straight? Leaving my two Grandkids alone was low. You are very insecure." Leigh snaps "Don't pull that on me. You've ran back and forth between Bobby, and Frank. And you're calling me insecure?" Beth warns Leigh "Bobby and I have an understanding, and as for you, I cleaned the house, and the vodka's gone." Leigh yells "If Xavier decides to leave town again, I'm divorcing him.." Beth responds calmly "He's been home since you were arrested, and he's not himself. I don't think he's been out cheating on you Leigh, and if you cause him any more stress, I'll kick your ass." Leigh sighs "Just take me home!" Beth responds in a stern tone "I will, and if you pull one stunt of any kind, you'll answer to me." Leigh yells "Just take me home!" Meanwhile at Alexandra's Penthouse, Alexandra sits in the living room, as Millie sits with her Grandmother, and Colt, as Alexandra yells at her Husband "Coffee!" Colt snaps "Am I your damn butler?" Alexandra smiles at her Granddaughter, and sighs "He's still being trained." Millie is quiet, as Alexandra tells her "What's bothering you? You've been in town for a week, and you're not yourself." Millie tells her Grandmother "Something's off with Dad Grandmum." Alexandra hands Millie a cup of coffee, as she sits, and asks "So what do you know? I know you saw him in L.A.?" Millie sighs "He was wearing a heavy coat, and he was different, he just wanted to tell me he loved me, and he was retiring." Colt quips "That doesn't sound like the legend of Xavier Jackson." Alexandra tells her Granddaughter "There's many rumors swirling around town about him." Millie tells her Grandmother "All I know is something's not right. He's not himself." Alexandra looks at her Granddaughter, and tells her "When Jamie Marx sold her soul to Angelica Hale, then everything changed, and many blame it on the death of Tenny. And I'm appalled Walter DuBois wanted you to play Leigh in the movie." Millie is silent, as she has a thought, and closes her eyes for a moment, as Angelica asks "What's wrong?" Millie sighs "Nothing."
Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Bree, Frank, Bobby, and Country are in the living room, as Bree tells them "Russell's coming to town today." Frank asks Bobby "So does this have anything to do with Jamie and Angelica?" Bobby responds "She financed that book, and Jamie does owe her money for her plastic surgeries, and more." Bree nods, as Frank adds "My Sister's a different person than she used to be years ago." Bobby quips "Jamie's always been a whore. Everyone knows that." Frank agrees, as Country sighs "I should of just killed her when Xavier, Ava, and Winston ordered her death a few years ago." Bobby tells Country "You really betrayed Xavier when the truth all come out, and he still has a bounty, but I will work on him when you at least save Jake." Country tells them "I don't know where she is, but I have checked the entire area and Valley Ridge, and haven't found her." Jamie arrives, as she asks her Daughter "Well any clues?" Everyone turns to Jamie, and Bree tells her Mother "Don't come here and pretend you give a damn. You put her in this place." Frank asks his Sister "Who in the hell are you?" Jamie tells them "I want Summer safe, and I'm exposing our crazy ass family!" Bobby warns Jamie "That won't work out too well for you. It's only a matter of time." Jamie laughs "Ok Mayor Whitten, and all, I'm leaving, and find my Daughter." Jamie walks out, as Bree yells in anger "That bitch! I want to kill her for all this!" Frank sighs with sadness "That isn't the Jamie I knew." Bobby warns them "Her fiancee's making a movie off her book, and planning a sequel." Bree rolls her eyes, as does Frank, as Country tells them "So back to killing?" At The Santiago Manor, in a bedroom, sits Summer, as she's angry, and holds Jake's blanket, as Angelica and Jake walks inside, and Angelica smiles, looking at Summer "Little guy loves his Grandmother. He'll be an excellent heir. Finally one who can carry on my legacy." Summer snarls "Let us go! We have nothing to do between you and my Mom you senile bitch!" Angelica sighs "Bad thing to say. Bad thing really, Mommy hasn't been giving a shit, Bree's unable to save you, and Jamie has that knack to get selfish. She has to pay me, or else you will die, and Jake will see blood for the first time." Summer snaps "You are sick!" Angelica, holding her Grandson, laughs "Your Mother is sick. I'm happy that I got what I want." Angelica and Jake leaves the room, and Angelica locks the door from outside, as Summer says to herself, with a scared look on her face "Pay her Mom. For Jake."
At City Hospital, Terrance and Olivia sits inside Terrance's office, as Olivia and Terrance reads the e-mail again, as Terrance asks "So have they called yet?" Olivia warns Terrance "We can't keep hiding this. This could cost us our careers. Although they want this to stay secret. They're forgetting some things." Terrance asks "Has Allan tried to get the info from you?" Olivia responds "He asked me about it a few times, and I told him I couldn't tell him, and he understood." Terrance tells Olivia "Well, there's one thing we can do Olivia." Olivia asks "And what might that be?" Terrance types in Beth's e-mail address, and tells her "An accidental forwarding. I don't think they would go after us. She isn't blind Olivia." Olivia nods with worry "I know Terrance." Meanwhile at Walter's Mansion, Walter sits in the living room, as he tells the person on the other line "Oh! Shit! This is working perfectly. Full of secrets. How did you find this out?" The person on the other line tells him, and Walter smiles "Post that one as breaking news, and post it on our show also. Controversy sells, and this will line my wallet nicely." Walter hangs up, as Monica and Javon walks inside, and Walter asks his Ex-Wife "Why in the hell are you here with him?" Javon tells Walter "I came to make sure my Mom gets her things from that slut you are bedding." Monica quips "Considered being checked for an STD Walter?" Walter snaps at Monica "Everything here is mine! The only thing you have is that bastard that I had to allow to call me Daddy all these years. So are you gay Javon?" Javon rushes to Walter, and yells "Shut the hell up! I've met Terrance Evans, and he's got more morals than you ever have Walter!" Monica tells Walter "I'm getting my things." Monica walks upstairs, as Walter yells "Do go through my shit! I do have a way to stop you!" Javon asks "And what might that be Walter? Because I'm here, and Ava gave me this, and if you try, I'll put you out." Walter quips "You're going crazy working at Jackson Inc. How about you tell Ava about her Brother. Oh wait, she's going to find out today." Javon demands "What's wrong?" Walter laughs "You will find out when the rest of them do. And Jamie's book and movie will make millions and millons of hard cold cash!" Monica walks downstairs meanwhile, and yells "So where's my things?" Walter goes "I gave them to Jamie." Monica glares at her Ex-Husband, and tells him "Remember one thing bastard, wasn't for me, you'd never be the tabloid king. I can't wait to see you fall flat on your ass." Monica and Javon leaves, as Walter sits back, and his phone rings, and he looks at the ID, and answers, and responds "I've got my bases covered."
At Jackson Inc, Ava, Winston, and Jared sits inside Ava's office, as Ava tells her Husband "So it's done, and Allan and Nathan have signed off and approve." Jared asks "What about Ciarra? She should be the one to announce the comeback of Sullivan's." Ava sighs "Uncle Floyd's still recovering from his accident at the farm, and she has no desire to come back to town. Who can blame her?" Winston asks "And Beth?" Jared tells his Grandfather "She's at Hell Hill today. She went to pick Leigh up from jail." Ava tells Jared "I've spoken to her, as have Sully, and she gives the go ahead. She did say though she doesn't want a part in the business. So I'll be handling things for her, but she will be on the Sullivan's board of directors." Winston tells his Grandson "Now we will just focus on Foodstar and our subsidiaries at HaleCorp." Meanwhile outside Jackson Inc, Sully arrives, as paparazzi swarms her, as a reporter asks "Is it true about your Daddy?" Sully glares at everyone, and snaps "Screw off!" Another reporter asks "I hear he's sick?" Sully snaps "Yeah! Sick of Jamie Marx attacking his family! Now go on somewhere else before I call the ALPD on your asses!" Sully walks inside, as she fumes with anger. In Ava's office, her secretary walks inside, and tells her "Turn on the TV. Good thing Winston's here." Ava turns on the TV, as silence fills the room, and Winston and Jared are silent, with their eyes glued to the TV, as Ava is silent, with anger in her eyes, as Sully storms in and yells "There's paparazzi all over this damn building! What in the hell is going on?" Ava tells her Niece "I don't know Sully, but I'm about to know." Sully yells "I'm following you Aunt Ava!" Winston and Jared follows behind, as they head to Hell Hill.
Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Beth and Leigh returns, as they walk inside, and Leigh asks her Mother In Law "Where's X?" Beth responds "Maybe sleeping. He's not himself Leigh." Leigh walks into her Husband's study, as Beth follows, where Xavier's pill bottle sits on his desk, and Beth looks at the pills, as the chair's turned, and Beth asks "Xavier, what are you doing with painkillers?" Leigh yells "Turn around Xavier!" Xavier turns his chair around, and asks his Mother and Wife "Watched the news yet?" Beth answers "I heard a story on the radio on my way back here. So is this just fodder so Jamie can sell her damn book and that movie?" Xavier's silent, as Beth warns her Son "These painkillers are very strong baby. They can hurt your stomach. Remember that aneurysm?" Xavier nods, as Leigh asks "What are you hiding? TELL ME WHAT IT IS!" Beth whispers to Leigh "You're going with me." Leigh yells at Beth "You don't control me!" Xavier gets up, and tells them "Both of you shut the hell up. I'm going upstairs." Xavier walks out of the study, as Beth looks at her Daughter In Law, and tells Leigh "That tone doesn't sound good." Leigh asks "Well Beth, since you've been here, has my Husband told you anything?" Beth shakes her head, and replies "No. And if he wants to talk about it, then he can when he's ready." Leigh yells "Well I'm about to find out what he's keeping from me!" Beth grabs Leigh's arm, and warns her "Don't start no shit with him Leigh." Leigh yells "Don't you have some things to do Beth?" Beth smiles "I'm retired, so I'm watching over my family now." Beth walks out, as she checks her tablet, and notices a message, and Beth reads intently, as Leigh walks out of the study and yells "X!" Beth looks at Leigh, and tells her "Shut that yelling up. I'm going down to City Hospital! Go check on Class!" Leigh tells Beth "I'm about to get my Husband to open up to me Beth, so see you later." Leigh storms upstairs, as Beth glares at Leigh, and leaves.
At The Exposer, Aretha sits at her desk, as she reads the news on The Gossiper, and says to herself "Someone's got a real death wish." Aretha picks up her phone, as she calls Terrance, and asks her Brother "Watching the TV?" Terrance, with Olivia at City Hospital, responds "Yes we are. And the person who leaked this will pay dearly for it." Aretha asks "Does anyone else know yet?" At City Hospital, Allan, Nathan, Rose, and A.J. arrives, and Terrance tells his Sister "I expect things to get heated." Terrance hangs up, and back at The Exposer, Monica and Javon walks back inside, and Aretha asks "Didn't I tell you to stay the hell away from here Monica?" Monica asks Aretha "Don't you want to know your Nephew?" Aretha looks at Javon, and tells him "I'm your Aunt, but I have no damn use for your Mama! Did she tell you?" Javon looks at Aretha, as Monica warns Aretha "Don't bring it up." Aretha snarks "I shouldn't tell Javon that you broke Terrance's heart, when you left town to work for Walter DuBois carrying my Brother's Son without even telling him? He never got over it!" Javon looks at his Mother, as Monica snaps back at Aretha "This should be discussed privately. Not in front of Javon." Aretha sighs "He's grown, and he should know." Javon asks his Mother "So Terrance never knew, but Aretha did?" Aretha adds "Mama knew also. But sadly she has dementia, and she isn't well." Monica quips "I wish you had dementia Aretha..." Aretha slaps Monica in the face, and yells "Hell no bitch, you didn't go there." Monica slaps Aretha back, and Aretha pulls Monica's wig off, and snaps "We had your back and then you stabbed my Brother in the damn back! I don't forgive that!" Monica yells at Aretha "Ok, if you want to fight, find somebody else to fight with bitch." Monica grabs her wig, as she tells Javon "Let's go!" Javon looks at his Mother, and tells her "You betrayed me Mom." Aretha tells Javon "The doors are open for you. Don't let Monica turn you against your family." Monica yells at Aretha "Go to hell you bitter old bitch!" Aretha quips "Ask Walter for more alimony so you can buy a better wig." Monica and Javon walks out, as Javon tells his Mother "I have to leave to think." Monica asks her Son "Do you hate me?" Javon responds "No Mom, I don't. But you and I both know Walter's a bastard, and if I'd known about the Evans Family, you could have left him sooner instead of last year." Monica sighs "I have my reasons." Javon leaves, as Monica shakes her head, and glares at the door to Aretha's office, as she leaves. Inside Aretha's office, Aretha sits back, as she reads The Gossiper, and says to herself "Walter's done messed up. He just picked the wrong damn fight."
Afternoon arrives, and at the Bree's Mansion, Bree and Frank sits inside her living room, as Bree and her Uncle watches the TV, and Frank tells his Niece "I have a feeling I need to check on Beth." Bree looks at her Uncle, and responds "Do you believe this tabloid shit?" Frank tells Bree "Everyone's been noticing that something's off with Xavier, and if this is true, then things are about to get bad." Bree sighs with disgust "My Mom will see dollar signs all over this, and not even think about my Sister. She doesn't care about her, or her Grandson. It makes me sick Uncle Frank." Frank hugs Bree, and assures her "Summer will be found Bree. I promise that." Bree looks at her Uncle, as he tells her "I'm going to head over to Cale and Allison's, and I'll get a search party going." Frank leaves, as Bree watches the TV, and shakes her head, and asks "What in the hell is happening to my family?" At Walter's Mansion, Jamie walks inside, as she asks Walter "So what is this I heard on the radio? Is it true?" Walter grins, and tells his fiancee "This will work beautifully. The door will be wide open for you Jamie." Jamie sighs "I want Summer to be released from Angelica." Walter puts his arm around Jamie, and assures her in a deceiving tone "I'm sure everything will be ok. How are you not sure your Sister, or family has her locked up somewhere?" Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "They are looking for her, and Angelica has made it known I owe her, but when you threaten the life of my Daughter, and my Grandson, then that's another story." Walter strokes Jamie's face, and asks "Want to head to the bedroom to wear off the tension?" Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "That's a great idea. Sex always helps." Walter smiles, as he and Jamie heads into the bedroom.
At The Evans Home, Willie stays inside her bedroom, as she reads her bible, as downstairs Sayyid hangs up the phone, as Rashad asks his Great-Uncle "So how's Eve?" Sayyid responds "She's better. May be paying a visit soon." Rashad tells Sayyid "It's time to go pick up Little Sidney." Sayyid tells him "Take him out for pizza, or down to FJR. I'm going to attempt to get through to Willie." Rashad nods, as he leaves, and Sayyid walks into his Sister's bedroom, as Willie sits on the edge of her bed, looking at a photo of Sidney, and turns, as Sayyid asks gently "How are you Willie?" Willie looks at her Brother, as she starts to cry, and responds "I don't know Clem. Maybe I should just grow used to that." Sayyid sits next to his Sister, and asks "Want to play 21?" Willie shakes her head, and looks at Sidney's photo, and responds "I wish I was with my Husband. I'm scared." Sayyid assures Willie "Your family's here. You won't be able to run away all of us Willie. And your friends as well." Willie sighs "This isn't the way it should be Clem." Sayyid looks at his Sister, and tells her "Life isn't fair Willie. But I'm your Brother, and I'm taking care of you, and so are Aretha, Terrance, Rashad, Little Sidney.." Willie sighs with sadness "I am a burden on them." Sayyid sternly tells Willie "No in the hell you are not! You are the one that holds the family together! And they understand." Willie looks at Sayyid, and says to him "I don't have many moments of clarity anymore. This new house confuses me, and I wish I was dead." Sayyid tells his Sister "As you always said, that's in God's hands Willie." Willie tells her Brother "When Sidney was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, he asked Terrance to put him to sleep. I think I want that too." Sayyid tells his Sister "No you don't. That's not you." Willie tells Sayyid "When you have what I have, there's only one option, and that is death. Support my choice Daddy, I'm marrying Sidney..." Sayyid asks his Sister "Daddy?" Willie yells "Leave me the hell alone! Damnit!" Sayyid walks out of Willie's bedroom, as he hears glass break inside, as Willie screams "I can't take this! God let me die!"
Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Leigh walks inside the bedroom, as Xavier lays in the bed, despondent, and tells his Wife "Please just leave it alone." Leigh yells "No I won't leave it alone X! I'm your Wife, and I should know what in the hell are going on with you! Have you went crazy over Jamie's stunts? Are you having an affair? What is it!" Xavier yells "I'm not having a damn affair Leigh! And the shit you've pulled recently could have drove me crazy! I'm glad Princess left you in jail to dry out!" Leigh snaps "X, you need to get your shit together, and tell me the damn truth! Have you checked The Gossiper? Read the front page." Leigh throws the tablet at her Husband, as Xavier looks, and Leigh hears the door open downstairs, and asks her Husband "So what have you been doing in Blue Ridge X?" At City Hospital, Beth has arrived, as Terrance, Olivia, Allan, Nathan, Rose, and A.J. are inside Terrance's office, as Allan hugs his Sister, and Nathan and Rose also offer comfort, with Beth rejects, as she asks Terrance and Olivia "So what I heard is true?" Terrance nods, as Olivia tell Beth "I sent you the email. We agreed to do it as an accident. It was top secret." Beth quips "Well it's all over the damn news now! So this is why my Son's been taking trips?" Olivia looks at Beth silently, as does Terrance, as he pulls up some scans, and gets up, as Beth sits, and looks at them, and says to herself "No." Allan assures his Sister "I'm here Big Sis." Beth snaps at Allan, Nathan, and Rose "All of you already know?" Allan tells his Sister "Seen it on TV Beth." Olivia asks Beth "Anything any of us can do?" Beth yells "Yes! Tell me what in the hell is going on! I swear on my Mama's grave if something happens, I'll hold you, and Terrance accountable!" Beth storms out in a fury, as Allan looks at his Wife, and sighs "That's what I expected." Terrance tells everyone "Beth should have known." Olivia agrees, but tells everyone "If he wanted everybody to know, he'd said something." Allan shakes his head, and sighs "Classic trait of a Sullivan." Back at Hell Hill, Ava, Sully, Winston, and Jared arrive, as Ava tells her Niece "Sounds like Xavier and Leigh's in the bedroom." Leigh walks downstairs, and yells "We are having a private discussion!" Sully yells at her Mother "I want to talk to my Daddy!" The door opens, as Millie walks inside, and asks "What's this shit I'm hearing on TV?" Ava turns to her Niece, and tells Millie "That's why we're here." Leigh yells "If he'll tell anyone, it'll be his Wife!" Ava looks at Leigh, and quips "Damn if that menopause changed you. Let me get something straight with your ass, you won't keep a damn thing from Sully, Millie, myself, nobody in this damn room, so get off your damn high horse before I knock you off!" Sully runs upstairs, as Leigh warns Ava "I already have to deal with Beth, I won't tolerate your attitude as well." Winston warns Leigh "Ava and Xavier are close, so back off of my Wife.." Ava smiles at her Husband, and responds "I can fend for myself." In Xavier's bedroom, Xavier looks at the tablet, and throws it across the room, as Sully walks inside, and tells her Father "The paparazzi's swarming around here and Jackson Inc. Daddy what's going on? Please tell me." Xavier asks Sully "Why aren't you at the office?" Sully tells her Father "I love you, and I want to be here for you Daddy. I know something's not right." Xavier closes his eyes, and looks at Sully, and tells her slowly "Princess, there's nothing you can do. Nothing nobody can do. Leave it at that." Sully yells "No! Tell me why!" Xavier yells "Because Sully, there's nothing nobody can do!" Back downstairs, Leigh looks upstairs, and tells Ava, Winston, Jared, and Millie "Leave." Bobby arrives, as Sully walks downstairs, and Leigh yells at everyone "Now since Sully's downstairs, get out of here!" Sully looks at her Mother, as a look of defiance comes over everyone, as Sully boldly tells her Mother "Make us!"
At The Farm meanwhile, Frank sits in the living room, along with Cale, and Colt, as Frank tells his Son, and Colt "We are going to find Summer and Jake. I have a feeling Country's going to fail." Cale pulls out his rifle, as does Colt, as Frank asks Colt "So what do you know about Country?" Colt tells his boss "Well I know he said Jamie financed his hunting show." Frank sighs "All I needed to know. Poor Bree, her Daddy's got a dilemma. We need to watch him carefully, and what I want the two of you to do is be ready for when I tell both of you "It's time", that you do as I say." Cale and Colt nod in agreement. At Bree's Mansion, Bree sits in her living room, as she cries for her Sister, and Nephew, as there's a knock at the door. Bree walks to the door, as Russell Marx, stands on the other side, and Russell tells Bree "Bobby told me." Bree hugs Russell, as he assures Bree "My Daughter and Grandson will be found, and I'll make damn sure Jamie pays dearly. I'm Governor Marx now." At The Inn, Country sits at the bar, as he drinks a beer, and his phone rings, as it's Jamie, and Country answers, and tells Jamie "If I were you, I'd go hide." Jamie, laying in Walter's bed, sighs "Sorry. You need to find my Daughter, or I won't be financing...." Jamie hangs up, as Country yells "Shit!" At Walter's Mansion, Walter walks inside, as he tells Jamie "A business associate called. We found another actress to play Leigh in the movie, and everything's a go." Jamie laughs "Oh yes it is, but I want Jackson Inc. I am seeing an opening there." Walter smiles, as he tells his fiancee "Well I'd tell you to go for it baby." Jamie smiles, and responds "I am." Meanwhile at The Santiago Manor, Angelica walks inside Summer's bedroom, as Summer yells "Where's Jake?" Angelica smiles "He's with his nanny. Your Mother is failing, and I think Jake and I will get along nicely." Summer snarls at Angelica "He's my SON! Have you forgotten who my Father is?" Angelica laughs in an evil tone "Yes. I do. And his past will haunt him dear. And did I mention Jake called me Grandma?" Summer tries to slap Angelica, as Angelica slaps Summer to the floor, and hands her a baby monitor, and tells Summer "Watch me bond with Jake Santiago." Summer screams "Whitten!" Angelica motions for someone, as the nanny walks inside, and hands Jake to Angelica, as he squirms, as Angelica tells the nanny "Summer's feeling bitchy. Help her sleep for awhile." The nanny restrains Summer and sticks a syringe into her arm, as Angelica sighs "Keep it up, and what I have in mind will be worse than mere drug."
At City Hospital, Terrance and Olivia sits in Terrance's office, as Terrance tells Olivia "Beth was pissed at us." Olivia assures Terrance "She was just having a natural reaction." At Nathan and Rose's Penthouse, Allan sits with his Son and Daughter In Law, as A.J.'s in his room, with the door closed, as Allan lights a blunt, and tells his Son "I think I should have asked Big Sis if she needed to smoke." Nathan quips "I don't think marijuana relaxes Aunt Beth like it does us." Rose exclaims "As long as she isn't gunning for me, then I'm not worrying." Allan takes a toke, and passes to Nathan, and tells his Son and Daughter In Law "Beth will need us. And I know someone else she needs also." Nathan asks "Aunt Ciarra?" Allan nods, as he responds "With all that's going on, she may be the only one who can help my Sister since Mama's gone." At Hell Hill, Xavier lays in his bed, as Leigh walks upstairs, and snaps at her Husband "So X. Everyone's here, it's time to open up and tell everyone what you're hiding!" Downstairs, Sully, Ava, Millie, Winston, Jared, and Bobby stands in the living room, as Beth walks inside, and Sully and Millie turns towards their Grandmother, as Beth is silent, and Beth asks "I see everyone's here?" Sully, holding onto her Husband, as Jared holds his Wife, tells her Grandmother "Daddy yelled at me, and told me there's nothing nobody could do Grandma. And Mom's been arguing with him." Beth looks around, as she walks upstairs, as she walks into Xavier and Leigh's bedroom, and slaps Leigh forcefully across the face, and snaps "Take your ass downstairs!" Leigh snaps back at Beth "I'm Xavier's Wife!" Beth snaps "And I am his Mother! Don't try me now!" Leigh yells at her Husband "It's not over X!", as she heads downstairs, and Beth looks at her Son, and tells Xavier "Take off your robe." Xavier looks at his Mother, as he unties his robe, and Beth gasps, as she tells her Son "My baby. Mama's here, and so are you family. It's time you tell them Son." Xavier looks at his Mother, and Beth tells her Son "Come on Xavier. Let's walk downstairs." Xavier gets up, as Beth follows her Son, and downstairs, Leigh yells "Beth's about to really piss me off. She needs a damn life!" Bobby takes a deep breath, as Ava yells "Her life's her family Leigh! Do you want to go a round with me also?" Leigh shakes her head, as Sully warns her Mother "Shut the hell up talking about Grandma!" Beth and Xavier walks downstairs, as Sully, Millie, Ava, Winston, Jared, and Bobby stands by the stairway, as Leigh fumes in the corner, as Beth helps her Son to his chair, as Beth looks at Xavier, and gently tells him "It's ok." Xavier looks at everyone, and he closes his eyes, as Beth puts her hand on her Son's shoulder, as Ava looks at Xavier, as Winston stands next to his Wife, and Millie stands on the other side of Xavier, as does Sully and Jared, as Bobby stands next to Beth, as Leigh yells "Go ahead and admit it X!" Xavier looks at everyone in the room, and tears begin to flow from his eyes, as he tells his family "I have cancer, and my days are numbered." Leigh gasps with shock, as she says to herself "No. No." Sully asks her Father, with tears "Daddy, is that why you stepped down and been away?" Xavier nods, as Beth tells everyone "From here on out, I will be taking care of my Son, and we'll beat this." Xavier sighs "Mother, it's too late." Millie yells with tears "Fight Dad! You have to!" Sully pleads "What about Gracie, Xavier Jr? Ruthie, and her little brother on the way?" Xavier sighs "I have oral cancer, and I'm out of options." Xavier gets up, as Ava walks over to her Brother, and reminds him "You don't give up. Winston had leukemia, and he beat it, and a Jackson has ice in their veins, and we don't give up without a damn fight." Xavier looks at his Sister, and tells Ava somberly "I have fought this, but now I have to plan my exit." Xavier heads back upstairs, as Leigh shakes her head with disbelief, as Sully cries for her Father, as does Millie, as Ava asks Beth "What are his options?" Beth's voice trembles, as she responds "For the first time in my life, I don't think there are any options left. My Son's dying." Beth breaks down, as Bobby, Ava, and Winston comfort her, as Xavier returns to his bedroom, and cries, as Sully, Millie, and Leigh walks inside, and Leigh cries "I'm sorry X." Xavier opens his arms, as he holds his Wife, and Daughters, as they cry together, scared of what's to come.

Daylight And Darkness 2.0: Season 1. Episode 3. Motives And Aftershocks
It's the next week in Adam's Landing, as morning's arrived, and at City Hospital, Terrance sits in his office, as he has a flashback to a meeting a day earlier with Monica (At Chantel's, Monica looks at Terrance, and tells him "Javon's your Son.") Terrance pulls out his phone, as he prepares to call Monica, as the door opens, and Beth asks "So still using your old office?" Terrance quips "You never stay retired, so we left it as is Beth." Beth asks Terrance, noticing a scared look on his face "What's bothering you?" Terrance is quiet for a moment, and changes the subject, asking Beth "So are you ready to talk to Mama? Aretha told me she was doing decent this morning. She's bringing her down here, and Rashad and Uncle Clem's following." Beth tells Terrance "Just send them to my old office. I'll be waiting for them." Beth walks out, as Terrance calls his Sister, as he tells Aretha "Beth's here." At The Evans Home, Willie tells her Daughter "So are you and Terrance trying to pull something?" Rashad grows frustrated, as Sayyid puts his hand on his Great Nephew's shoulder, as Aretha tells her Mother "Beth's got something to tell you." Willie sighs "Well then, let's go." Back at City Hospital, Beth sits inside her old office, as she sighs "Why am I here if I can't save anybody? I've failed twice, and now I have to tell Willie Evans her independence is going away." Sarah hears a voice, that responds "Remember my sweet Beth, you can't save the world." Beth looks at the chair in front of her desk, as Tenny's ghost sits, and reminds her Daughter "I died in my sleep Beth. There was nothing you could do. And I'm watching you and that dog in heat." Beth looks at her Mother's ghost, and responds "I was wondering when you'd voice your disapproval." Tenny sighs "Well Beth, all I know to tell you is that your greatest challenge is awaiting you. So stop hitting the sheets with Frank, and get ready!" Tenny disappears, as Beth takes a deep breath, and sighs "This kind of thing I hate to tell anybody.", as she reads Willie's charts.
At Hell Hill, Leigh sits downstairs, as she takes a drink of vodka, as Sully walks inside, and Leigh tells her Daughter "Your Daddy's been gone a week now Sully." Sully asks her Mother "Why are you drinking again?" Leigh, with a buzz, goes "Well X is obviously cheating. Bobby's on his way over, so I can discuss a divorce." Sully asks "Where's Gracie and Xavier Jr?" Leigh responds "At school." Sully sits next to her Mother, as Leigh sighs "I've had it with this Sully. I won't stay in a marriage when my Husband's keeping secrets from me and you, and the family." Sully warns her Mother "You should stop overreacting Mom." Leigh yells at her Daughter "Overreacting? Sully your Father's out doing who knows what, when his ass needs to be here! I'm sick and tired of this shit, and I can't take much more!" Sully looks at her Mother with disappointment, as she tells her Mother in a sad tone "I don't know what's going on with Daddy, but you are really hurting me with your reactions. He'd never give up on you, and if you divorce him, you can count me out as well." Leigh yells, as she pours another drink "You are weak." Sully stands at the door, and turns to her Mother, as she takes a shot "No Mom. You are the one that's weak." Sully walks out, as Leigh shakes her head with anger, as she yells "Damnit X! Come home!" Sully meanwhile pulls out of the driveway, as she heads to Jackson Inc, and calls Alexandra, as she sits in her office at Class, and warns "Keep an eye on Mom. She's drinking again."
At Jackson Inc, Ava arrives, as she sees Javon in the hallway, as Ava smiles, and goes "So any information.." Javon yells "Here's some damn info! Walter DuBois isn't my damn Father. That gay man that's CEO at City Hospital is! And I have enough shit on my mind besides your damn vendetta!" Ava stops Javon, and warns him "Terrance Evans is a close friend of mine, and I won't listen to your insults about him. Try not to get business and personal feelings get into what you're doing. We're bringing down that whore I'm related to, and that's the focus." Meanwhile the door opens, as Jamie struts in, and Ava turns, as she glares at her Sister, as Jamie smiles "Well my deranged Sister, where's my Brother?" Ava responds "Likely hatching together a plan to get rid of your ass once and for all!" Jamie laughs "Oh Ava, still holding grudges? I don't hold them although I did return the favor when I burned down your precious estate. With Angelica's help." Ava pulls out a lighter, as she laughs "I hear plastic melts." Jamie tells Ava "I want my part of the family company Ava. Actually I hear our evil Brother's not in charge anymore. I think it's time for a change." Javon meanwhile glares at Jamie, as he quips "Ava, you just said not to mix business and personal." Jamie asks Ava "So you are already planning something and using my future Husband's Son?" Ava looks at Javon, as he fumes, and tells him "Go to your office. Let Jamie and I have a moment alone." Javon warns Jamie "You are nothing but a damn whore Jamie Marx, and Walter's playing your ass!" Jamie yells "He's your Father!" Javon heads to his office, as he snarls "The hell he is." Ava looks at her Sister, and warns "And now time for you to go Jamie. Or I'll have you thrown out." Jamie walks into Sully's office, and sits at her desk, and smiles at Ava, and dares "Well Country saved me Ava, so the hit men of our sad pathetic family just seem to be idiots, so you don't scare me." Ava pulls out her pistol, as she aims at Jamie, and Jamie yells "Ok psycho-bitch, I'll go, but I will be back here. And all of you should congratulate yourselves, because Frank's on your side!" Jamie storms out, as Ava looks up, and says with a wink "My Brother's grown brains finally. Meanwhile in Javon's office, he sits at his computer, as he types in the search engine "Terrance Evans, Adam's Landing."
Meanwhile at the ALPD, Bree sits inside her office, as she calls her Sister, and to no response. Bree hangs up the phone, and looks over case files, as the door opens, and Bree looks up and goes "Dad!" Country looks at his Daughter, and asks "Can I get a hug?" Bree looks at her Father, and responds "We may be speaking, but I don't think we're going to embrace in a hug yet." Country asks "So why did you call? I'm supposed to be on a hunting expedition with my crew in Canada." Bree motions for Country to sit down, as she tells her Father "Summer and Jake's in danger." Country shakes his head, and asks "How is that? X wouldn't go after them. Now your Mama's another story." Bree responds "Mom apparently owes Angelica Hale from what Winston told me the other night. And Summer isn't very popular in town, and I really wish you had of left Mom dead." Country tells his Daughter "When I picked her up, she was still breathing, and I didn't want you to lose your Mama Bree. I took her to Valley Ridge, and left her, and then afterwards, I stayed quiet." Bree sighs "That almost destroyed my family also. That damn book, and then everything else afterwards.." Country asks "So where's X? He told me after the reveal he would have me killed if I came back to town." Bree responds "Something's amiss there also, but back to why you're here. I need help. I want you to go back to my place, and get comfortable. I may be the D.A., but I am also a Jackson, and I'll take the law into my hands if anyone thinks they are going to hurt my Sister or my Nephew." Country warns Bree "Well, I'll do that, but if X sees me, I won't do much protecting, because he's already had a bounty on me." Bree looks at her Father, and responds "Just stay away from Mom, and stay out of sight." Country tells Bree "I think I'll visit Winston. He was cordial the one time we met at the airport awhile back." Bree quips "Better call ahead. Aunt Ava detests you more than ever." Country looks at Bree, and walks out, as he heads to Whispering Hills. Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Summer lays in bed, as she strokes the chest of a man named Eddie, as he tells Summer "That was a fun warm up to the day." Summer smiles seductive "I know. I need to check on Jake." Eddie tells Summer "Stay here, and I'll feed you breakfast in bed beautiful." Eddie heads to the kitchen, as he pulls out a pill bottle, and receives a text, and responds "I've done as you ordered. She'll be out in no time."
At HaleCorp, Winston sits inside Jared's office, as they discuss sales, and Winston tells his Grandson "Our sales are steady at Foodstar, but Wallace's seems to be slumping. I think we should just pull the plug on that damn disease." Jared agrees, as he tells his Grandfather "I suggest changing the name back to Sullivan's, and going back to the original formula." Winston reminds Jared "Are you sure Sully would be willing to do that? Ava told me the other day she may be willing to lease out the name, under provisions." Jared responds "Emery's is an old name, and it returned to the forefront with Ciarra at the helm, and still making strides. What I'd like to do with Wallace's is spin the name off." Winston nods, and tells Jared "Wise idea. And then it'd be 50/50." Jared goes "50/50?" Winston nods "Ava would own half, along with Beth." Jared asks "When did Beth decide she wanted to be in the retail business?" Winston responds "If we're going to use the Sullivan's trademark, then the Sullivan family will have say on what happens." Jared tells his Grandfather "That's fair enough, and I support it." Winston's phone rings, as he looks at the caller ID, and tells Jared "I'm heading back home. Call Ava, and then go from there." Jared nods, as Winston walks out, and answers, as he goes "Country, good thing you called." Country, driving down the road responds "I figured you would have it out for me also." Winston tells him "Meet me at Whispering Hills, I have something to discuss with you. I know you have that hunting show, but I know what you like to hunt most." Country laughs "I reckon great minds think alike. I'm almost there. Will X be there?" Winston tells Country "Nope. Just you, me, and Colt Parker." Country laughs "Sounds like we're about to go a-shootin." Winston responds with a grin "Damn right we are."
At The Farm, Frank sits in his living room, as there's a knock at the door, and he answers to find Rose, with A.J., as Frank tells Rose "What are you doing here?" Rose points at her Son, and tells her Cousin "A.J. and I were bored and he wanted to see Faye." Frank quips "Well she's been busy today. I think this will be great." Faye and A.J. plays, as Frank tells Rose "You really don't talk much with the family." Rose tells Frank "Tenny always said to stay away from you." Frank quips "Well Tenny Sullivan never liked me anyway, and she made that loud and clear." Rose sighs "It's depressing in Adam's Landing, Nathan being in Los Angeles right now, and A.J. and I alone in her Penthouse. It's not the same." Frank tells Rose "You are my Aunt Mary's Granddaughter, and you should lean on your family more." Rose tells Frank in a sad tone "I've never connected with Xavier or many of Aunt Ruth's family. I did connect with Ava, but she stays busy." Frank quips "That's Ava. She and Xavier are cut from the same cloth. Both of them are workaholics." Rose laughs, and responds "Beth also." Frank smiles, as he asks "So I hear she's softened up towards you?" Rose sarcastically quips "Hell froze over didn't it?" Frank laughs, and tells Rose "Beth and her Mama were very close. But Beth never shows her emotions, but one thing I'll tell you about her, is if she likes you, you never have to worry, and she's a lady of her word." Rose asks, noticing a spark of love in Frank's eyes "You still love her don't you?" Frank is quiet, as he responds in a confident tone "She has been a huge help with Faye, and she did get Casey out of town, I just wish her and Whitten wasn't married. Faye needs a Mama." Rose looks at Frank, and as they watch their children, responds "I think that little girl will have many people to turn to." Frank smiles with content. Meanwhile at Cale and Allison's Mansion, Allison walks inside Cale's den, as Cale watches the races from the previous year, as she asks her Husband "So are you teaching our Daughter the art of driving?" Ginny, asleep on her Father's lap, laughs "It bores her, but I want FJR to be strong for next season. Dad's backing away some, and I'll have more on me than in the past." Allison asks "Why don't you look for a Team Director so you can just focus on racing?" Cale tells his Wife "I may. But Dad told me he'd still do it." Allison sighs "My Dad's in L.A with Nathan. He's finishing up his album." Cale looks at his Wife, and holds her hand, and says "I heard a bluebird outside this morning. Ginny heard it, and said Gran." Allison gets misty-eyed, as she sighs "She's watching over her family. We did grow close before she passed." Cale looks at his Wife, as he gently reminds his Wife "She loved you. Don't doubt that." Allison is quiet, as she walks into the other room, as Cale sits back, as Ginny sleeps on her Father's chest.
Back at Hell Hill, Bobby arrives, as he opens the door, and Leigh sits inside Xavier's study, as Bobby walks inside, as Leigh, in a drunken tone, tells Bobby "I want to divorce X! I keep calling, and calling! He doesn't respond! Tell me where in the hell he's been going!" Bobby answers "I know just as much as you do Leigh, and I thought you were off the vodka?" Leigh yells "Well if my damn Husband could stay home, then I wouldn't be drinking! And tell your Wife I blame her. She always runs away, and a known cheater." Bobby sighs, and warns Leigh "Beth isn't too happy with you right now Leigh, and I can see why." Leigh asks "Aren't you planning to divorce her? She's sleeping with Frank? Hell I'll go sleep with.." Bobby yells "Get your shit together! When Xavier does return home, he won't be happy, and since you are clearly intoxicated, I'm ignoring what you have said. I'm headed to my office now. Sober up." Bobby walks out, as Leigh grows enraged, as she calls her Husband once again, to no response." In a hotel room in an undisclosed location, Xavier lays on a bed, as he's quiet, as he hears Leigh's voicemails with sadness in his eyes. A knock's at the door, as Xavier answers, and the person asks "How are you feeling?" Xavier's eyes close as he sighs "I feel like shit. I can't do this anymore." The person responds "Well you'll have what you need when you get home Mr.Jackson." Xavier nods, as the person leaves, and Xavier walks back to the bed, as he texts his pilot, and tells him "Let's head home."
As afternoon's arrived, at City Hospital, Willie arrives, with Aretha, Sayyid, and Rashad, as Terrance asks his Mother "How are you?" Willie, in a frustrated tone asks "Why am I here?" Aretha looks at her Brother, as Terrance tells his Mother "Head down to Beth's office. She's awaiting you." As they head down the hall, Terrance gets a text from Monica, as it reads "Javon knows and he's angry." Terrance takes a deep breath, as they walk inside Beth's office, and Beth sits at her desk, and Willie asks Beth "I didn't know you moved back to Adam's Landing. Did B.R. decide to stay?" Beth glances at Willie's family, as Sayyid holds onto his Niece, as Beth tells Willie "I have something to tell you Willie." Willie asks "And what's that?" Beth is silent for a moment, as Willie's family surrounds her, and Beth pulls up her chart, and stumbles on her words, as she goes "This isn't something I like telling anybody." Willie yells "Damnit just get to it!" Rashad gets emotional, as Aretha looks at her Son, as Beth sighs "Willie, you have dementia, and it's rapidly progressing. I remember a few months ago, Mama mentioned to me that you called her Ruth a few times when you went to visit her." Willie responds "Who's your Mama? Oh, that snooty white bitch that always talked to Ruth like she was trash." Beth asks Willie's family "So how's things at home with Willie?" Sayyid tells Beth "She has flashbacks, and yesterday she left, and I had to find her, and she was at Class, and I got her out of there..." Willie yells "Look everyone! I don't need no damn pity! I can take care of my damn self, and all of you! So I'm driving my ass back to my damn house, and see my Husband. Telling me I'm losing my damn mind!" Beth tells Willie "You need to hand the keys over." Willie screams "No!" Aretha, Terrance, Sayyid, and Rashad attempts to intervene, as Willie screams "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Willie storms out of Beth's office, as Terrance and Aretha shakes their heads with sadness, and fear, as Sayyid and Rashad go after her, as Beth tells Terrance and Aretha "It's good she has all of you close by." Beth turns to Aretha, and advises "Don't leave your Grandson with her alone. I heard Rashad's still in denial." Aretha sighs "He is, but he's slowly noticing. She's got all of us whether she likes it or not." Terrance hugs his Sister, as Aretha starts to cry. Outside, Rashad yells "Grandma!" Willie turns to Rashad, and yells "I have no damn Grandchildren! All you want is my damn money!" Sayyid tells his Sister "Look, we are looking out for you. You always took care of everyone Willie, after Mama and Daddy ran away, and now the tables have turned." Willie snaps at her Brother "Clem, I don't want nobody's damn pity! Now I'm going the hell home!" Rashad yells at her Grandmother again, as Willie gets on the elevator, with car keys in hand, as she shakes her head, and is silent. Outside Beth's office, Terrance, Aretha, and Beth walks out, as Sayyid tells his Niece and Nephew "Willie's left." Aretha runs towards the elevator, as Terrance rolls his eyes, and tells his Uncle with sadness "We have a long hard road ahead." Beth excuses herself, as she leaves, and Sayyid asks his Nephew "Is there anything possible to help her?" Terrance takes a deep breath, and responds slowly "Nope. There isn't, all we can do is support her Uncle Clem."
At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her Father's office, as Ava sits at Sully's desk, as Ava fills Sully in on Jamie's visit, and assures Sully "You let me handle Jamie. You need to focus on your pregnancy." Sully sighs "Aunt Ava, Mom's drinking again, and threatening to divorce Daddy. He's still staying quiet. I don't know what to do." Ava assures her Niece "You do what's best for you. And we have everything covered here. Class is doing well, Alexandra called me earlier and we went over sales." Sully asks her Aunt "Do you think Daddy would be mad if I stepped down, and just focused on Class, and my pregnancy?" Ava gently responds "I think he would be supportive. I can handle things here, but he put you in charge for a reason." Sully asks "Do you know what's going on?" Ava responds "No Sully. Nobody knows. I think though, he may be making a plot to kill Angelica, or doing something to get rid of Jamie once and for all." Sully responds "I don't think that's the reason Aunt Ava." Ava tells Sully "He's not cheating on your Mom. That's a fact. The only two things he cares about are his family, and this company. My Daddy left Jackson Inc to him for one reason, balance. He's likely doing what he thinks is the right thing." The door opens, as Jared and Ruthie walks inside, and Ava hugs her Great-Niece, as Jared tells his Wife, and Ava "We're spinning Wallace's off." Ava's eyes widen, as she goes "Why in the hell are you doing that?" Jared replies "Winston supports it." Ava grows silent, as she tells Jared and Sully "If that were to happen, it'd be 50/50.." Jared nods "Winston told me that, and Beth would also own part of the company." Sully chimes in "Grandma's never been interested in retail though." Jared tells them "We're changing the name back to Sullivan's, and going back to the original concept." Sully tells her Husband "I think that'd be a great idea." Ava also agrees, and adds "I can multitask, so when I see Winston tonight, I'll discuss some ideas with him." Ava excuses herself, as Sully looks at her Husband, and tells him "I think right now Gran would be thrilled about this." Jared humbly replies "I think so too. I also think it could be bait." Ava walks back inside, and warns her Niece and Jared "You do know if the Sullivan family are on the board, that'd include Jamie?" Sully tells her Aunt "It could work well into our favor also. Bait." Ava hugs her Niece, and tells her "You think just like Xavier." Ava walks out again, as she heads to her office, as Jared and Sully discuss strategy, as Ava bumps into Javon, and asks, as he's heading out "Where are you going?" Javon tells her "I'm confronting my Father!" Ava snaps "Get back to your damn office and focus on what we have planned! He's already going through enough shit!" Javon snaps back "Sorry Ava, I'm going to confront him!" Ava grabs Javon's arm, and warns "He's got enough going on, and just remember, if you fail, I will destroy whatever chance you have in this business." Javon laughs "Go ahead and try." Javon leaves, as Ava watches on, as she rolls her eyes with disdain.
Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, Winston arrives, as Country and Colt waits for him, as Winston tells them "We are going to kill Angelica Hale, and if possible, Jamie." Country shakes his head, and tells Winston "I don't have no trouble putting a bullet in Angelica, but I think you all need to back off of Jamie." Colt looks at Winston, as Winston asks Country "And why should we back off of killing Jamie? She's caused nothing but pain for everyone in Adam's Landing with her book, and she's already eyeing Jackson Inc, and hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she was eyeing HaleCorp. What's got you nervous?" Country tells Winston "She helped me start "Outdoors With Country", and Walter DuBois is airing my show. She paid me back for saving her." Colt asks Winston "Should we just kill this traitor?" Winston looks at Country, and asks, as his voice grows with anger "Do you want to live? Because if or I'll say when, Xavier learns about this, you'll be as good as dead." Country yells at Winston "The only damn reason I came back was for my Daughter! Not for this damn plot you have! If you want to kill them old man, do it yourself!" Winston walks up to Country, and warns him "You best get on your knees and pray that I'm older, and slowed down, or else I'd kill you. You should have followed orders the first time, and then that damn book wouldn't have been published! Ciarra wouldn't have had her heart ripped from her chest, Tenny Sullivan would still be alive, and.." Winston snaps his fingers, as Colt aims his pistol at Country, and Country yells "I'm going to Bree's! Screw all of you!" Country gets in his truck, and leaves, as Winston turns to Colt, and Colt sighs "Is he on the list too?" Winston tells Colt in a calculated tone "That will be up to Xavier and Ava. He just lost his chance of redemption with me!"
At Walter's Mansion, Jamie sits inside the living room, as she reads The Gossiper, with a smile on her face, as the door opens, and Monica walks inside, and snaps "So I hear you went to see my Son today?" Jamie sighs "I did Monica. You have lead him down the wrong path. Like my necklace? I found it in a jewelry box..." Monica snarls "That belongs to me." Jamie quips "Jealous Walter gets pleasure from me, instead from you? Maybe you should have considered plastic surgery like I did." Monica smiles "Nobody set my cottage on fire and scarred me like Ava Jackson did to you. Now that woman has guts. And I just hope you know bitch, all Walter's doing is using you." Jamie tells Monica "Go ahead and leave. I can give him more than you ever could. At least I could give him a child." Monica snaps "How?" Jamie smiles "I have connections." Monica walks up to Jamie, and looks her over, and quips "Well you always been a whore, and I've done my 411 on you, so you have a death wish, as does Walter, and don't worry about me, but worry about everybody else in Adam's Landing. They want you dead." Jamie laughs "Go visit Willie and tell her about her Grandson, if she remembers you." Monica storms out, as Jamie takes a drink, and makes a phone call, as she asks "Are you safe?" The woman on the other line responds "Yes." Jamie tells her "I want you to carry my child, I want to give the man who helped us what he has always wanted."
Meanwhile at the ALPD, Bobby arrives, as Bree tells Bobby "I called Country to return." Bobby warns Bree "That wasn't wise." Bree looks at Bobby, and tells him "Summer and Jake are in danger thanks to Mom. I figured he could redeem himself, but I also wanted my nephew safe from that evil bitch that has helped Mom destroy my family." Bobby sits down, as he tells Bree "Open the desk drawer, and pull a glass out." Bree opens, as she finds a bottle of liquor, and hands it to Bobby, as he pours a glass, and tells Bree "Jake may not be my biological Grandson, but Paul loved him like his own, and I still think of him as my Grandson although Summer is nothing but a damn whore. The truth hurts, but we both know it's the truth." Bree sighs "Look, I don't want Summer caught up in whatever Mom's got going on with Angelica Hale." Bobby reminds Bree "You're the D.A., so you have some leverage." Bree nods, and answers "I know, and that's why I called my Father home." Bobby tells Bree "I'm here also, and I could care less about Summer, but Jake's my concern." Bree sighs "I think I need to head home. Summer's been seeing a man for a few days, and I got a bad feeling about him." Bobby tells her "Go check things out. Take a deputy with you. I'm heading home to visit Beth. She and I have to discuss some things." Bree asks "Her and Uncle Frank?" Bobby asks "See the shiner?" Bree nods, as Bobby tells Bree "I warned him to stay away from her, and for her to stay away from him." Bree reminds "Aunt Beth's only doing as Grandma asked her to do." Bobby gets up, as does Bree, as he responds "Frank's a grown man. He has a Daughter In Law, and a Son, and he has you, Beth needs to worry about her own family." Bobby leaves, as Bree calls Country, to no response, and then Summer, also to no response, as she heads to her mansion, as she has a look of dread in her eyes, and says to herself "Mom, if anything happens to my Sister, I'll kill you myself."
At The Farm, Frank sits inside the nursery, with Faye on his lap, as he tells his Daughter "I made this for your Mamaw. She loved this place." Beth walks inside, as she tells Frank "You should show this off. Ruth would be proud." Frank asks "So how did everything go with Willie?" Beth sits next to Frank, as Faye reaches for her, and Beth holds Faye, and sighs "Just like we expected. She's not going to accept that she has dementia, and I feel so bad for Terrance and Aretha, and Rashad, Sayyid, Little Sidney." Frank takes a deep breath, and tells Beth "It's hard for me too. Sidney taught me so much on cars, and Willie was always there for us, and Mama's best friend." Beth holds Frank's hand, and sadly tells him "Well I pray God takes her early before it gets worse. I failed as a Doctor. I couldn't save Ruth, Mama slipped away in her sleep, and now Willie's losing her independence, and there's nothing I can do for her. I feel so lost Frank." Frank asks "Why are you doubting yourself? You've always been a hell of a doctor Beth. You know there's things you can't control. Mama wanted to go her own way, and so did Tenny." Beth sighs with disgust "I blame Jamie for Mama. When that book was released, and Casey pushed Mama down, and she broke her hip, she wasn't the same. Stayed in the Penthouse, and she lost her will to live." Frank puts his arm around Beth, as she gets emotional, and cries "I miss her so much, and now Xavier's off god knows where.." Frank asks "So no changes there?" Beth sighs "Nope, and Sully called me on my way over, and Leigh's going bat-shit again, Mama's spirit came to me today, and said my greatest challenge awaits." Frank looks at Beth, and assures her "You have all of us, and Xavier, well I can;t explain what's going on, but this isn't like him." Beth sighs "I know Frank. But something isn't adding up." Beth gets a text, and tells Frank "I'm heading over to check on my Grandkids." Faye holds onto Beth, as she tells her "I'll be back, and I have a surprise for you sweetie. Watch after your Daddy." Frank quips "This little girl's brought purpose to my life. Although I'm too damn old to raise a kid, wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a chance." Beth and Frank looks at each other, as they fight their feelings, as Beth leaves, and Frank tells his Daughter "Let's go back inside, and time for our nap."
At The Evans Home, Aretha and Sayyid returns, as Aretha looks at her Uncle, and in a scared tone, asks him "Where's Mama?" Sayyid looks at Aretha, and tells his Niece "She knows where she lives." Aretha asks "Are you so sure? Little Sidney told me the other day she got lost when she picked him up from school." Sayyid looks at Aretha, and puts his hands on her shoulders, as he tells her, with tears in his eyes "This is ripping me apart. My Sister's fading, but she's fighting. She's always been a fighter. None of us can try and tell her what to do. We got to treat her normal, as much as possible. I've laid the briefcase down, and I called Thelma." Aretha goes "Aunt Thelma? Why did you call her?" Sayyid responds "It's time for the last of the Ross family to make peace before Willie ends up like Sidney did." Aretha asks "And what did she tell you?" Sayyid responds "She's coming home soon, and planning to visit." Aretha looks at her Uncle, and tells him, with concern in her voice "Where's Mama?" On the main highway, Rashad drives Little Sidney home from school, as he asks his Father "Will Grandma stop calling me Terrance?" Rashad, silent for a moment, with his eyes on the road, responds "Maybe. She may start calling you Clem, or Rashad. Things won't be the same again Son." Little Sidney tells his Father "I wish she'd get well Daddy." Rashad sighs with sadness "Me too Son." Leigh's car flies past them, as Rashad jerks the wheel, and assures his Son "It's alright. Looks like Leigh Jackson's in a hurry." At Sidney Evans' grave, Willie kisses her Husband's Gravestone, as she says with sadness "I'm losing it Sidney. I'm so scared, but I don't want to tell our family. I better go home, before the police come looking for me." Willie gets in her car, and drives out of the cemetery. On the main Highway, Leigh takes a drink from her flask, as her phone rings, as it's Sully, who's at Hell Hill, and Leigh ignores her Daughter's call, as Leigh reaches the cemetery, Willie pulls out, as Leigh looks up...
At Bree's Mansion, Bree arrives, as the door's open, and yells "Summer? Jake? Dad?" Bree looks down, as she finds Jake's teddy bear, and rage fills Bree's eyes, as she calls Country, but to no response." At Walter's Mansion, Country has walked inside, as Jamie tells Country "So you're back? Walter isn't here, and I want to thank you for saving me." Country warns Jamie "I'm here to kill you. It's time to die for the hell you caused. You swore to stay away!" Jamie snarls "This damn family owes me, and I am getting what I deserve!" Country pulls out his shotgun, and aims at Jamie, and laughs wickedly "Yes in the hell you are!" Jamie unties her bathrobe, as she asks "Are you sure about that?" Country is silent, as Jamie grabs Country's hand, and leads him to the bedroom. Unknown to them, Walter pulls into the driveway, and walks inside, as he looks around, and heads into the bedroom, as he looks at Jamie and Country, and yells "After helping your ass, this is what I get?" Country looks at Walter, as he tells Jamie "I'm here for Bree. Not for you!" Country tells Walter "She's a whore." Walter snarls "I know she is, and two can play that game!" Country leaves, as he checks his phone, and rushes to Bree's Mansion, as Walter tells Jamie "I just returned from Los Angeles, and we've got everything set for a movie based off your book, but if you pull this again, I'll make damn sure you don't see a dime!" Jamie yells "I wrote it! And don't forget about Rachel Lane, and Casey Ryan either you asshole!" Walter laughs "Nobody knows where they are Jamie!" Jamie tells Walter "I spoke to Casey, and I want her to have our child." Walter's eyes widen, as she goes "Really? Did she accept?" Jamie nods, and tells her fiancee "At least now you'll have a kid you can say is yours." Walter reminds Jamie "I already have a Son." Jamie quips "He knows Walter." Walter asks "Knows?" Jamie grabs Walter's hand, and sighs "That Monica was a slut, and Terrance Evans is Javon's biological Father." Walter freezes, as Jamie comforts him.
Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Ava and Sully are inside, as Sully asks her Brother and Sister "Mom left the two of you alone?" Gracie and Xavier Jr nods, as Sully tells her Aunt with anger in her eyes "When Grandma arrives, all hell's about to break loose." Ava winks, and responds "Beth isn't the only one with a temper Sully." Beth arrives, as she sighs "Thank God!" Beth asks "Where in the hell is Leigh?"Ava quips "She went bar-hopping." Beth fumes, as Sully tells her Grandmother "Gracie called me at the office, and I rushed over here." Beth hugs her Granddaughter, and calls Bobby, as he's across the road, and tells him "Leigh's on the road intoxicated." Bobby tells Beth "I'm on my way over." Ava looks around, and quips "Leigh can't hold her vodka can she?" Beth tells Ava "Leigh's walking a fine line with me, and she's crossed it now." At HaleCorp, Jared and Ruthie are inside his office, as Winston walks inside, and asks his Grandson "So how did Ava and Sully accept our idea?" Jared responds "They loved it, but now we have to break the news to Beth." Winston asks Jared "Ready to see what's going on at Hell Hill?" Jared tells his Grandfather "If Leigh returns, I fear the place will live up to its name." Winston, Jared and Ruthie heads out. Meanwhile at City Hospital, Terrance sits in his office, as Olivia walks in, and tells Terrance "I just got this email. You need to read it." Terrance reads the email, as he looks at Olivia and shakes his head, as he asks Olivia "What are we going to do?" Olivia fills Terrance in on things, as Terrance nods, and the door slams open, as Javon yells "So you're my real Father. A gay man?" Olivia tells Terrance, as she excuses herself "I'll handle this, and we need to keep this between ourselves for now." Javon yells "So secrets are boundless around here aren't they?" Terrance looks at Javon, and tells his Son "Don't judge me for who I am. Your Mother met Walter, and I didn't get to meet you." Javon asks "So you didn't even know about me?" Terrance responds "Not until recently." Javon shakes his head, as there's a page overhead "Terrance Evans to the ER." Terrance rushes out, as Javon yells "Hey we're not done!" Terrance turns to Javon, and calmly tells him "We'll discuss things later." Javon looks around Terrance's office, as he tells Javon "I want to get to know you, and now I need to tend to patients in the.." Terrance glances at his phone, as he tells Javon "We'll meet very soon." Terrance runs out, as Javon looks around, and is silent. Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Beth, Ava, Sully, Bobby, Jared, and Winston discuss Xavier and Leigh, as Beth warns everyone "Leigh better get her shit together before she faces a side of me she's never wanted to face." Frank rushes inside, as he tells everyone "Willie Evans and Leigh was in an accident. Willie's stable, and being taken to the hospital, and Leigh's been arrested." Beth and Sully roll their eyes, as Bobby asks Beth "Should I have her released?" Sully tells him "Leave her in jail." Back at Bree's Mansion, Country arrives, as Bree screams at her Father "Where in the hell were you?" Country tells his Daughter "I went to kill your Mama like you wanted me to do Bree." Bree yells "I asked you to be here! Not with her!" In a undisclosed location, Summer wakes up, and looks around, as she asks in a drugged tone "Eddie?" Angelica, sitting in a chair by Summer's bed, holding Jake, responds in an evil tone "Just me Summer. And let's hope your Mother gives a damn about you, or else I'll have my Grandson, and you will be dead." At Jackson Inc, Xavier has arrived, as he walks into his office, and sees someone inside, as Xavier goes "Millie?" Millie turns to her Father, and tells him "Dad, I'm home, and Walter DuBois' making a movie off of Jamie's book, and he wanted me to play Leigh, and I told them to kiss my kiwi ass." Xavier hugs his Daughter, with a smile, as Millie has a look of concern on her face, as she holds onto her Father.
At Hell Hill, Leigh sits downstairs, as she takes a drink of vodka, as Sully walks inside, and Leigh tells her Daughter "Your Daddy's been gone a week now Sully." Sully asks her Mother "Why are you drinking again?" Leigh, with a buzz, goes "Well X is obviously cheating. Bobby's on his way over, so I can discuss a divorce." Sully asks "Where's Gracie and Xavier Jr?" Leigh responds "At school." Sully sits next to her Mother, as Leigh sighs "I've had it with this Sully. I won't stay in a marriage when my Husband's keeping secrets from me and you, and the family." Sully warns her Mother "You should stop overreacting Mom." Leigh yells at her Daughter "Overreacting? Sully your Father's out doing who knows what, when his ass needs to be here! I'm sick and tired of this shit, and I can't take much more!" Sully looks at her Mother with disappointment, as she tells her Mother in a sad tone "I don't know what's going on with Daddy, but you are really hurting me with your reactions. He'd never give up on you, and if you divorce him, you can count me out as well." Leigh yells, as she pours another drink "You are weak." Sully stands at the door, and turns to her Mother, as she takes a shot "No Mom. You are the one that's weak." Sully walks out, as Leigh shakes her head with anger, as she yells "Damnit X! Come home!" Sully meanwhile pulls out of the driveway, as she heads to Jackson Inc, and calls Alexandra, as she sits in her office at Class, and warns "Keep an eye on Mom. She's drinking again."
At Jackson Inc, Ava arrives, as she sees Javon in the hallway, as Ava smiles, and goes "So any information.." Javon yells "Here's some damn info! Walter DuBois isn't my damn Father. That gay man that's CEO at City Hospital is! And I have enough shit on my mind besides your damn vendetta!" Ava stops Javon, and warns him "Terrance Evans is a close friend of mine, and I won't listen to your insults about him. Try not to get business and personal feelings get into what you're doing. We're bringing down that whore I'm related to, and that's the focus." Meanwhile the door opens, as Jamie struts in, and Ava turns, as she glares at her Sister, as Jamie smiles "Well my deranged Sister, where's my Brother?" Ava responds "Likely hatching together a plan to get rid of your ass once and for all!" Jamie laughs "Oh Ava, still holding grudges? I don't hold them although I did return the favor when I burned down your precious estate. With Angelica's help." Ava pulls out a lighter, as she laughs "I hear plastic melts." Jamie tells Ava "I want my part of the family company Ava. Actually I hear our evil Brother's not in charge anymore. I think it's time for a change." Javon meanwhile glares at Jamie, as he quips "Ava, you just said not to mix business and personal." Jamie asks Ava "So you are already planning something and using my future Husband's Son?" Ava looks at Javon, as he fumes, and tells him "Go to your office. Let Jamie and I have a moment alone." Javon warns Jamie "You are nothing but a damn whore Jamie Marx, and Walter's playing your ass!" Jamie yells "He's your Father!" Javon heads to his office, as he snarls "The hell he is." Ava looks at her Sister, and warns "And now time for you to go Jamie. Or I'll have you thrown out." Jamie walks into Sully's office, and sits at her desk, and smiles at Ava, and dares "Well Country saved me Ava, so the hit men of our sad pathetic family just seem to be idiots, so you don't scare me." Ava pulls out her pistol, as she aims at Jamie, and Jamie yells "Ok psycho-bitch, I'll go, but I will be back here. And all of you should congratulate yourselves, because Frank's on your side!" Jamie storms out, as Ava looks up, and says with a wink "My Brother's grown brains finally. Meanwhile in Javon's office, he sits at his computer, as he types in the search engine "Terrance Evans, Adam's Landing."
Meanwhile at the ALPD, Bree sits inside her office, as she calls her Sister, and to no response. Bree hangs up the phone, and looks over case files, as the door opens, and Bree looks up and goes "Dad!" Country looks at his Daughter, and asks "Can I get a hug?" Bree looks at her Father, and responds "We may be speaking, but I don't think we're going to embrace in a hug yet." Country asks "So why did you call? I'm supposed to be on a hunting expedition with my crew in Canada." Bree motions for Country to sit down, as she tells her Father "Summer and Jake's in danger." Country shakes his head, and asks "How is that? X wouldn't go after them. Now your Mama's another story." Bree responds "Mom apparently owes Angelica Hale from what Winston told me the other night. And Summer isn't very popular in town, and I really wish you had of left Mom dead." Country tells his Daughter "When I picked her up, she was still breathing, and I didn't want you to lose your Mama Bree. I took her to Valley Ridge, and left her, and then afterwards, I stayed quiet." Bree sighs "That almost destroyed my family also. That damn book, and then everything else afterwards.." Country asks "So where's X? He told me after the reveal he would have me killed if I came back to town." Bree responds "Something's amiss there also, but back to why you're here. I need help. I want you to go back to my place, and get comfortable. I may be the D.A., but I am also a Jackson, and I'll take the law into my hands if anyone thinks they are going to hurt my Sister or my Nephew." Country warns Bree "Well, I'll do that, but if X sees me, I won't do much protecting, because he's already had a bounty on me." Bree looks at her Father, and responds "Just stay away from Mom, and stay out of sight." Country tells Bree "I think I'll visit Winston. He was cordial the one time we met at the airport awhile back." Bree quips "Better call ahead. Aunt Ava detests you more than ever." Country looks at Bree, and walks out, as he heads to Whispering Hills. Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Summer lays in bed, as she strokes the chest of a man named Eddie, as he tells Summer "That was a fun warm up to the day." Summer smiles seductive "I know. I need to check on Jake." Eddie tells Summer "Stay here, and I'll feed you breakfast in bed beautiful." Eddie heads to the kitchen, as he pulls out a pill bottle, and receives a text, and responds "I've done as you ordered. She'll be out in no time."
At HaleCorp, Winston sits inside Jared's office, as they discuss sales, and Winston tells his Grandson "Our sales are steady at Foodstar, but Wallace's seems to be slumping. I think we should just pull the plug on that damn disease." Jared agrees, as he tells his Grandfather "I suggest changing the name back to Sullivan's, and going back to the original formula." Winston reminds Jared "Are you sure Sully would be willing to do that? Ava told me the other day she may be willing to lease out the name, under provisions." Jared responds "Emery's is an old name, and it returned to the forefront with Ciarra at the helm, and still making strides. What I'd like to do with Wallace's is spin the name off." Winston nods, and tells Jared "Wise idea. And then it'd be 50/50." Jared goes "50/50?" Winston nods "Ava would own half, along with Beth." Jared asks "When did Beth decide she wanted to be in the retail business?" Winston responds "If we're going to use the Sullivan's trademark, then the Sullivan family will have say on what happens." Jared tells his Grandfather "That's fair enough, and I support it." Winston's phone rings, as he looks at the caller ID, and tells Jared "I'm heading back home. Call Ava, and then go from there." Jared nods, as Winston walks out, and answers, as he goes "Country, good thing you called." Country, driving down the road responds "I figured you would have it out for me also." Winston tells him "Meet me at Whispering Hills, I have something to discuss with you. I know you have that hunting show, but I know what you like to hunt most." Country laughs "I reckon great minds think alike. I'm almost there. Will X be there?" Winston tells Country "Nope. Just you, me, and Colt Parker." Country laughs "Sounds like we're about to go a-shootin." Winston responds with a grin "Damn right we are."
At The Farm, Frank sits in his living room, as there's a knock at the door, and he answers to find Rose, with A.J., as Frank tells Rose "What are you doing here?" Rose points at her Son, and tells her Cousin "A.J. and I were bored and he wanted to see Faye." Frank quips "Well she's been busy today. I think this will be great." Faye and A.J. plays, as Frank tells Rose "You really don't talk much with the family." Rose tells Frank "Tenny always said to stay away from you." Frank quips "Well Tenny Sullivan never liked me anyway, and she made that loud and clear." Rose sighs "It's depressing in Adam's Landing, Nathan being in Los Angeles right now, and A.J. and I alone in her Penthouse. It's not the same." Frank tells Rose "You are my Aunt Mary's Granddaughter, and you should lean on your family more." Rose tells Frank in a sad tone "I've never connected with Xavier or many of Aunt Ruth's family. I did connect with Ava, but she stays busy." Frank quips "That's Ava. She and Xavier are cut from the same cloth. Both of them are workaholics." Rose laughs, and responds "Beth also." Frank smiles, as he asks "So I hear she's softened up towards you?" Rose sarcastically quips "Hell froze over didn't it?" Frank laughs, and tells Rose "Beth and her Mama were very close. But Beth never shows her emotions, but one thing I'll tell you about her, is if she likes you, you never have to worry, and she's a lady of her word." Rose asks, noticing a spark of love in Frank's eyes "You still love her don't you?" Frank is quiet, as he responds in a confident tone "She has been a huge help with Faye, and she did get Casey out of town, I just wish her and Whitten wasn't married. Faye needs a Mama." Rose looks at Frank, and as they watch their children, responds "I think that little girl will have many people to turn to." Frank smiles with content. Meanwhile at Cale and Allison's Mansion, Allison walks inside Cale's den, as Cale watches the races from the previous year, as she asks her Husband "So are you teaching our Daughter the art of driving?" Ginny, asleep on her Father's lap, laughs "It bores her, but I want FJR to be strong for next season. Dad's backing away some, and I'll have more on me than in the past." Allison asks "Why don't you look for a Team Director so you can just focus on racing?" Cale tells his Wife "I may. But Dad told me he'd still do it." Allison sighs "My Dad's in L.A with Nathan. He's finishing up his album." Cale looks at his Wife, and holds her hand, and says "I heard a bluebird outside this morning. Ginny heard it, and said Gran." Allison gets misty-eyed, as she sighs "She's watching over her family. We did grow close before she passed." Cale looks at his Wife, as he gently reminds his Wife "She loved you. Don't doubt that." Allison is quiet, as she walks into the other room, as Cale sits back, as Ginny sleeps on her Father's chest.
Back at Hell Hill, Bobby arrives, as he opens the door, and Leigh sits inside Xavier's study, as Bobby walks inside, as Leigh, in a drunken tone, tells Bobby "I want to divorce X! I keep calling, and calling! He doesn't respond! Tell me where in the hell he's been going!" Bobby answers "I know just as much as you do Leigh, and I thought you were off the vodka?" Leigh yells "Well if my damn Husband could stay home, then I wouldn't be drinking! And tell your Wife I blame her. She always runs away, and a known cheater." Bobby sighs, and warns Leigh "Beth isn't too happy with you right now Leigh, and I can see why." Leigh asks "Aren't you planning to divorce her? She's sleeping with Frank? Hell I'll go sleep with.." Bobby yells "Get your shit together! When Xavier does return home, he won't be happy, and since you are clearly intoxicated, I'm ignoring what you have said. I'm headed to my office now. Sober up." Bobby walks out, as Leigh grows enraged, as she calls her Husband once again, to no response." In a hotel room in an undisclosed location, Xavier lays on a bed, as he's quiet, as he hears Leigh's voicemails with sadness in his eyes. A knock's at the door, as Xavier answers, and the person asks "How are you feeling?" Xavier's eyes close as he sighs "I feel like shit. I can't do this anymore." The person responds "Well you'll have what you need when you get home Mr.Jackson." Xavier nods, as the person leaves, and Xavier walks back to the bed, as he texts his pilot, and tells him "Let's head home."
As afternoon's arrived, at City Hospital, Willie arrives, with Aretha, Sayyid, and Rashad, as Terrance asks his Mother "How are you?" Willie, in a frustrated tone asks "Why am I here?" Aretha looks at her Brother, as Terrance tells his Mother "Head down to Beth's office. She's awaiting you." As they head down the hall, Terrance gets a text from Monica, as it reads "Javon knows and he's angry." Terrance takes a deep breath, as they walk inside Beth's office, and Beth sits at her desk, and Willie asks Beth "I didn't know you moved back to Adam's Landing. Did B.R. decide to stay?" Beth glances at Willie's family, as Sayyid holds onto his Niece, as Beth tells Willie "I have something to tell you Willie." Willie asks "And what's that?" Beth is silent for a moment, as Willie's family surrounds her, and Beth pulls up her chart, and stumbles on her words, as she goes "This isn't something I like telling anybody." Willie yells "Damnit just get to it!" Rashad gets emotional, as Aretha looks at her Son, as Beth sighs "Willie, you have dementia, and it's rapidly progressing. I remember a few months ago, Mama mentioned to me that you called her Ruth a few times when you went to visit her." Willie responds "Who's your Mama? Oh, that snooty white bitch that always talked to Ruth like she was trash." Beth asks Willie's family "So how's things at home with Willie?" Sayyid tells Beth "She has flashbacks, and yesterday she left, and I had to find her, and she was at Class, and I got her out of there..." Willie yells "Look everyone! I don't need no damn pity! I can take care of my damn self, and all of you! So I'm driving my ass back to my damn house, and see my Husband. Telling me I'm losing my damn mind!" Beth tells Willie "You need to hand the keys over." Willie screams "No!" Aretha, Terrance, Sayyid, and Rashad attempts to intervene, as Willie screams "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Willie storms out of Beth's office, as Terrance and Aretha shakes their heads with sadness, and fear, as Sayyid and Rashad go after her, as Beth tells Terrance and Aretha "It's good she has all of you close by." Beth turns to Aretha, and advises "Don't leave your Grandson with her alone. I heard Rashad's still in denial." Aretha sighs "He is, but he's slowly noticing. She's got all of us whether she likes it or not." Terrance hugs his Sister, as Aretha starts to cry. Outside, Rashad yells "Grandma!" Willie turns to Rashad, and yells "I have no damn Grandchildren! All you want is my damn money!" Sayyid tells his Sister "Look, we are looking out for you. You always took care of everyone Willie, after Mama and Daddy ran away, and now the tables have turned." Willie snaps at her Brother "Clem, I don't want nobody's damn pity! Now I'm going the hell home!" Rashad yells at her Grandmother again, as Willie gets on the elevator, with car keys in hand, as she shakes her head, and is silent. Outside Beth's office, Terrance, Aretha, and Beth walks out, as Sayyid tells his Niece and Nephew "Willie's left." Aretha runs towards the elevator, as Terrance rolls his eyes, and tells his Uncle with sadness "We have a long hard road ahead." Beth excuses herself, as she leaves, and Sayyid asks his Nephew "Is there anything possible to help her?" Terrance takes a deep breath, and responds slowly "Nope. There isn't, all we can do is support her Uncle Clem."
At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her Father's office, as Ava sits at Sully's desk, as Ava fills Sully in on Jamie's visit, and assures Sully "You let me handle Jamie. You need to focus on your pregnancy." Sully sighs "Aunt Ava, Mom's drinking again, and threatening to divorce Daddy. He's still staying quiet. I don't know what to do." Ava assures her Niece "You do what's best for you. And we have everything covered here. Class is doing well, Alexandra called me earlier and we went over sales." Sully asks her Aunt "Do you think Daddy would be mad if I stepped down, and just focused on Class, and my pregnancy?" Ava gently responds "I think he would be supportive. I can handle things here, but he put you in charge for a reason." Sully asks "Do you know what's going on?" Ava responds "No Sully. Nobody knows. I think though, he may be making a plot to kill Angelica, or doing something to get rid of Jamie once and for all." Sully responds "I don't think that's the reason Aunt Ava." Ava tells Sully "He's not cheating on your Mom. That's a fact. The only two things he cares about are his family, and this company. My Daddy left Jackson Inc to him for one reason, balance. He's likely doing what he thinks is the right thing." The door opens, as Jared and Ruthie walks inside, and Ava hugs her Great-Niece, as Jared tells his Wife, and Ava "We're spinning Wallace's off." Ava's eyes widen, as she goes "Why in the hell are you doing that?" Jared replies "Winston supports it." Ava grows silent, as she tells Jared and Sully "If that were to happen, it'd be 50/50.." Jared nods "Winston told me that, and Beth would also own part of the company." Sully chimes in "Grandma's never been interested in retail though." Jared tells them "We're changing the name back to Sullivan's, and going back to the original concept." Sully tells her Husband "I think that'd be a great idea." Ava also agrees, and adds "I can multitask, so when I see Winston tonight, I'll discuss some ideas with him." Ava excuses herself, as Sully looks at her Husband, and tells him "I think right now Gran would be thrilled about this." Jared humbly replies "I think so too. I also think it could be bait." Ava walks back inside, and warns her Niece and Jared "You do know if the Sullivan family are on the board, that'd include Jamie?" Sully tells her Aunt "It could work well into our favor also. Bait." Ava hugs her Niece, and tells her "You think just like Xavier." Ava walks out again, as she heads to her office, as Jared and Sully discuss strategy, as Ava bumps into Javon, and asks, as he's heading out "Where are you going?" Javon tells her "I'm confronting my Father!" Ava snaps "Get back to your damn office and focus on what we have planned! He's already going through enough shit!" Javon snaps back "Sorry Ava, I'm going to confront him!" Ava grabs Javon's arm, and warns "He's got enough going on, and just remember, if you fail, I will destroy whatever chance you have in this business." Javon laughs "Go ahead and try." Javon leaves, as Ava watches on, as she rolls her eyes with disdain.
Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, Winston arrives, as Country and Colt waits for him, as Winston tells them "We are going to kill Angelica Hale, and if possible, Jamie." Country shakes his head, and tells Winston "I don't have no trouble putting a bullet in Angelica, but I think you all need to back off of Jamie." Colt looks at Winston, as Winston asks Country "And why should we back off of killing Jamie? She's caused nothing but pain for everyone in Adam's Landing with her book, and she's already eyeing Jackson Inc, and hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she was eyeing HaleCorp. What's got you nervous?" Country tells Winston "She helped me start "Outdoors With Country", and Walter DuBois is airing my show. She paid me back for saving her." Colt asks Winston "Should we just kill this traitor?" Winston looks at Country, and asks, as his voice grows with anger "Do you want to live? Because if or I'll say when, Xavier learns about this, you'll be as good as dead." Country yells at Winston "The only damn reason I came back was for my Daughter! Not for this damn plot you have! If you want to kill them old man, do it yourself!" Winston walks up to Country, and warns him "You best get on your knees and pray that I'm older, and slowed down, or else I'd kill you. You should have followed orders the first time, and then that damn book wouldn't have been published! Ciarra wouldn't have had her heart ripped from her chest, Tenny Sullivan would still be alive, and.." Winston snaps his fingers, as Colt aims his pistol at Country, and Country yells "I'm going to Bree's! Screw all of you!" Country gets in his truck, and leaves, as Winston turns to Colt, and Colt sighs "Is he on the list too?" Winston tells Colt in a calculated tone "That will be up to Xavier and Ava. He just lost his chance of redemption with me!"
At Walter's Mansion, Jamie sits inside the living room, as she reads The Gossiper, with a smile on her face, as the door opens, and Monica walks inside, and snaps "So I hear you went to see my Son today?" Jamie sighs "I did Monica. You have lead him down the wrong path. Like my necklace? I found it in a jewelry box..." Monica snarls "That belongs to me." Jamie quips "Jealous Walter gets pleasure from me, instead from you? Maybe you should have considered plastic surgery like I did." Monica smiles "Nobody set my cottage on fire and scarred me like Ava Jackson did to you. Now that woman has guts. And I just hope you know bitch, all Walter's doing is using you." Jamie tells Monica "Go ahead and leave. I can give him more than you ever could. At least I could give him a child." Monica snaps "How?" Jamie smiles "I have connections." Monica walks up to Jamie, and looks her over, and quips "Well you always been a whore, and I've done my 411 on you, so you have a death wish, as does Walter, and don't worry about me, but worry about everybody else in Adam's Landing. They want you dead." Jamie laughs "Go visit Willie and tell her about her Grandson, if she remembers you." Monica storms out, as Jamie takes a drink, and makes a phone call, as she asks "Are you safe?" The woman on the other line responds "Yes." Jamie tells her "I want you to carry my child, I want to give the man who helped us what he has always wanted."
Meanwhile at the ALPD, Bobby arrives, as Bree tells Bobby "I called Country to return." Bobby warns Bree "That wasn't wise." Bree looks at Bobby, and tells him "Summer and Jake are in danger thanks to Mom. I figured he could redeem himself, but I also wanted my nephew safe from that evil bitch that has helped Mom destroy my family." Bobby sits down, as he tells Bree "Open the desk drawer, and pull a glass out." Bree opens, as she finds a bottle of liquor, and hands it to Bobby, as he pours a glass, and tells Bree "Jake may not be my biological Grandson, but Paul loved him like his own, and I still think of him as my Grandson although Summer is nothing but a damn whore. The truth hurts, but we both know it's the truth." Bree sighs "Look, I don't want Summer caught up in whatever Mom's got going on with Angelica Hale." Bobby reminds Bree "You're the D.A., so you have some leverage." Bree nods, and answers "I know, and that's why I called my Father home." Bobby tells Bree "I'm here also, and I could care less about Summer, but Jake's my concern." Bree sighs "I think I need to head home. Summer's been seeing a man for a few days, and I got a bad feeling about him." Bobby tells her "Go check things out. Take a deputy with you. I'm heading home to visit Beth. She and I have to discuss some things." Bree asks "Her and Uncle Frank?" Bobby asks "See the shiner?" Bree nods, as Bobby tells Bree "I warned him to stay away from her, and for her to stay away from him." Bree reminds "Aunt Beth's only doing as Grandma asked her to do." Bobby gets up, as does Bree, as he responds "Frank's a grown man. He has a Daughter In Law, and a Son, and he has you, Beth needs to worry about her own family." Bobby leaves, as Bree calls Country, to no response, and then Summer, also to no response, as she heads to her mansion, as she has a look of dread in her eyes, and says to herself "Mom, if anything happens to my Sister, I'll kill you myself."
At The Farm, Frank sits inside the nursery, with Faye on his lap, as he tells his Daughter "I made this for your Mamaw. She loved this place." Beth walks inside, as she tells Frank "You should show this off. Ruth would be proud." Frank asks "So how did everything go with Willie?" Beth sits next to Frank, as Faye reaches for her, and Beth holds Faye, and sighs "Just like we expected. She's not going to accept that she has dementia, and I feel so bad for Terrance and Aretha, and Rashad, Sayyid, Little Sidney." Frank takes a deep breath, and tells Beth "It's hard for me too. Sidney taught me so much on cars, and Willie was always there for us, and Mama's best friend." Beth holds Frank's hand, and sadly tells him "Well I pray God takes her early before it gets worse. I failed as a Doctor. I couldn't save Ruth, Mama slipped away in her sleep, and now Willie's losing her independence, and there's nothing I can do for her. I feel so lost Frank." Frank asks "Why are you doubting yourself? You've always been a hell of a doctor Beth. You know there's things you can't control. Mama wanted to go her own way, and so did Tenny." Beth sighs with disgust "I blame Jamie for Mama. When that book was released, and Casey pushed Mama down, and she broke her hip, she wasn't the same. Stayed in the Penthouse, and she lost her will to live." Frank puts his arm around Beth, as she gets emotional, and cries "I miss her so much, and now Xavier's off god knows where.." Frank asks "So no changes there?" Beth sighs "Nope, and Sully called me on my way over, and Leigh's going bat-shit again, Mama's spirit came to me today, and said my greatest challenge awaits." Frank looks at Beth, and assures her "You have all of us, and Xavier, well I can;t explain what's going on, but this isn't like him." Beth sighs "I know Frank. But something isn't adding up." Beth gets a text, and tells Frank "I'm heading over to check on my Grandkids." Faye holds onto Beth, as she tells her "I'll be back, and I have a surprise for you sweetie. Watch after your Daddy." Frank quips "This little girl's brought purpose to my life. Although I'm too damn old to raise a kid, wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a chance." Beth and Frank looks at each other, as they fight their feelings, as Beth leaves, and Frank tells his Daughter "Let's go back inside, and time for our nap."
At The Evans Home, Aretha and Sayyid returns, as Aretha looks at her Uncle, and in a scared tone, asks him "Where's Mama?" Sayyid looks at Aretha, and tells his Niece "She knows where she lives." Aretha asks "Are you so sure? Little Sidney told me the other day she got lost when she picked him up from school." Sayyid looks at Aretha, and puts his hands on her shoulders, as he tells her, with tears in his eyes "This is ripping me apart. My Sister's fading, but she's fighting. She's always been a fighter. None of us can try and tell her what to do. We got to treat her normal, as much as possible. I've laid the briefcase down, and I called Thelma." Aretha goes "Aunt Thelma? Why did you call her?" Sayyid responds "It's time for the last of the Ross family to make peace before Willie ends up like Sidney did." Aretha asks "And what did she tell you?" Sayyid responds "She's coming home soon, and planning to visit." Aretha looks at her Uncle, and tells him, with concern in her voice "Where's Mama?" On the main highway, Rashad drives Little Sidney home from school, as he asks his Father "Will Grandma stop calling me Terrance?" Rashad, silent for a moment, with his eyes on the road, responds "Maybe. She may start calling you Clem, or Rashad. Things won't be the same again Son." Little Sidney tells his Father "I wish she'd get well Daddy." Rashad sighs with sadness "Me too Son." Leigh's car flies past them, as Rashad jerks the wheel, and assures his Son "It's alright. Looks like Leigh Jackson's in a hurry." At Sidney Evans' grave, Willie kisses her Husband's Gravestone, as she says with sadness "I'm losing it Sidney. I'm so scared, but I don't want to tell our family. I better go home, before the police come looking for me." Willie gets in her car, and drives out of the cemetery. On the main Highway, Leigh takes a drink from her flask, as her phone rings, as it's Sully, who's at Hell Hill, and Leigh ignores her Daughter's call, as Leigh reaches the cemetery, Willie pulls out, as Leigh looks up...
At Bree's Mansion, Bree arrives, as the door's open, and yells "Summer? Jake? Dad?" Bree looks down, as she finds Jake's teddy bear, and rage fills Bree's eyes, as she calls Country, but to no response." At Walter's Mansion, Country has walked inside, as Jamie tells Country "So you're back? Walter isn't here, and I want to thank you for saving me." Country warns Jamie "I'm here to kill you. It's time to die for the hell you caused. You swore to stay away!" Jamie snarls "This damn family owes me, and I am getting what I deserve!" Country pulls out his shotgun, and aims at Jamie, and laughs wickedly "Yes in the hell you are!" Jamie unties her bathrobe, as she asks "Are you sure about that?" Country is silent, as Jamie grabs Country's hand, and leads him to the bedroom. Unknown to them, Walter pulls into the driveway, and walks inside, as he looks around, and heads into the bedroom, as he looks at Jamie and Country, and yells "After helping your ass, this is what I get?" Country looks at Walter, as he tells Jamie "I'm here for Bree. Not for you!" Country tells Walter "She's a whore." Walter snarls "I know she is, and two can play that game!" Country leaves, as he checks his phone, and rushes to Bree's Mansion, as Walter tells Jamie "I just returned from Los Angeles, and we've got everything set for a movie based off your book, but if you pull this again, I'll make damn sure you don't see a dime!" Jamie yells "I wrote it! And don't forget about Rachel Lane, and Casey Ryan either you asshole!" Walter laughs "Nobody knows where they are Jamie!" Jamie tells Walter "I spoke to Casey, and I want her to have our child." Walter's eyes widen, as she goes "Really? Did she accept?" Jamie nods, and tells her fiancee "At least now you'll have a kid you can say is yours." Walter reminds Jamie "I already have a Son." Jamie quips "He knows Walter." Walter asks "Knows?" Jamie grabs Walter's hand, and sighs "That Monica was a slut, and Terrance Evans is Javon's biological Father." Walter freezes, as Jamie comforts him.
Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Ava and Sully are inside, as Sully asks her Brother and Sister "Mom left the two of you alone?" Gracie and Xavier Jr nods, as Sully tells her Aunt with anger in her eyes "When Grandma arrives, all hell's about to break loose." Ava winks, and responds "Beth isn't the only one with a temper Sully." Beth arrives, as she sighs "Thank God!" Beth asks "Where in the hell is Leigh?"Ava quips "She went bar-hopping." Beth fumes, as Sully tells her Grandmother "Gracie called me at the office, and I rushed over here." Beth hugs her Granddaughter, and calls Bobby, as he's across the road, and tells him "Leigh's on the road intoxicated." Bobby tells Beth "I'm on my way over." Ava looks around, and quips "Leigh can't hold her vodka can she?" Beth tells Ava "Leigh's walking a fine line with me, and she's crossed it now." At HaleCorp, Jared and Ruthie are inside his office, as Winston walks inside, and asks his Grandson "So how did Ava and Sully accept our idea?" Jared responds "They loved it, but now we have to break the news to Beth." Winston asks Jared "Ready to see what's going on at Hell Hill?" Jared tells his Grandfather "If Leigh returns, I fear the place will live up to its name." Winston, Jared and Ruthie heads out. Meanwhile at City Hospital, Terrance sits in his office, as Olivia walks in, and tells Terrance "I just got this email. You need to read it." Terrance reads the email, as he looks at Olivia and shakes his head, as he asks Olivia "What are we going to do?" Olivia fills Terrance in on things, as Terrance nods, and the door slams open, as Javon yells "So you're my real Father. A gay man?" Olivia tells Terrance, as she excuses herself "I'll handle this, and we need to keep this between ourselves for now." Javon yells "So secrets are boundless around here aren't they?" Terrance looks at Javon, and tells his Son "Don't judge me for who I am. Your Mother met Walter, and I didn't get to meet you." Javon asks "So you didn't even know about me?" Terrance responds "Not until recently." Javon shakes his head, as there's a page overhead "Terrance Evans to the ER." Terrance rushes out, as Javon yells "Hey we're not done!" Terrance turns to Javon, and calmly tells him "We'll discuss things later." Javon looks around Terrance's office, as he tells Javon "I want to get to know you, and now I need to tend to patients in the.." Terrance glances at his phone, as he tells Javon "We'll meet very soon." Terrance runs out, as Javon looks around, and is silent. Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Beth, Ava, Sully, Bobby, Jared, and Winston discuss Xavier and Leigh, as Beth warns everyone "Leigh better get her shit together before she faces a side of me she's never wanted to face." Frank rushes inside, as he tells everyone "Willie Evans and Leigh was in an accident. Willie's stable, and being taken to the hospital, and Leigh's been arrested." Beth and Sully roll their eyes, as Bobby asks Beth "Should I have her released?" Sully tells him "Leave her in jail." Back at Bree's Mansion, Country arrives, as Bree screams at her Father "Where in the hell were you?" Country tells his Daughter "I went to kill your Mama like you wanted me to do Bree." Bree yells "I asked you to be here! Not with her!" In a undisclosed location, Summer wakes up, and looks around, as she asks in a drugged tone "Eddie?" Angelica, sitting in a chair by Summer's bed, holding Jake, responds in an evil tone "Just me Summer. And let's hope your Mother gives a damn about you, or else I'll have my Grandson, and you will be dead." At Jackson Inc, Xavier has arrived, as he walks into his office, and sees someone inside, as Xavier goes "Millie?" Millie turns to her Father, and tells him "Dad, I'm home, and Walter DuBois' making a movie off of Jamie's book, and he wanted me to play Leigh, and I told them to kiss my kiwi ass." Xavier hugs his Daughter, with a smile, as Millie has a look of concern on her face, as she holds onto her Father.
