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.

Daylight And Darkness 2.0: Season 1. Episode 2. Triangles And Suspicion
A week has passed, as it's nighttime in Adam's Landing, and at Hell Hill, Leigh sleeps downstairs, as the door opens, as Xavier walks inside, and Xavier turns on the light, as Leigh wakes up, and yawns "X?" Xavier kisses his Wife, and tells Leigh "I'm home." Leigh asks her Husband "Where have you been? I've tried to call you, and so has Sully, and your Mother.." Xavier quickly responds "I was visiting Millie. She's in L.A. and I spent a few days with her." Leigh responds "I know you spent a day with her X, but that was it." Xavier tells his Wife "Let's go to bed, and tomorrow I'm going to check on things around here, and catch up on things, check on Princess.." Leigh asks her Husband again "What's with the business trips? Are you having an affair?" Xavier looks at Leigh, and tells his Wife "No. I'm doing what's best for my family. Now let's go to bed." Leigh and Xavier heads upstairs, as night's fallen in Adam's Landing.
It's the next morning, and at Whispering Hills, Ava and Winston sit inside the living room, as they watch a video of J.J., as Ava tells her Husband "I told Jack he better pay his Mama a visit soon. My little J.J.'s growing so fast." Winston assures his Wife "Victoria's keeping a good eye on Jack, Samantha, and J.J.. So how's things at Jackson Inc? How's Sully handling the duties of CEO?" Ava gleams, as she tells Winston "Actually, she's damn good at multitasking. I always knew she had it in her. Xavier and I did a great job training her the business. And she's got that mean streak." Winston quips "Could come in handy." Ava holds Winston's hand, as they walk outside onto the porch, as she sighs with content "She's a natural." Meanwhile at Ciarra and Floyd's former home, where Beth and Bobby now resides, Beth cooks breakfast, as Bobby walks into the kitchen, and asks his Wife "So are you going to see Frank again?" Beth responds "I'm planning to talk to my Son today. And you need to stop worrying so damn much Bobby. You have enough going on as Mayor." Bobby has a flashback (Bobby sits in his office, as he receives a video message from Jamie, and Bobby says to himself "Frank, you're starting to piss me off!") Bobby asks Beth "Come out and admit it, you've had an affair. I know you have." Beth is silent, as she turns the oven off, and looks at her Husband, and goes "Jamie told you didn't she?" Bobby responds "Via video Boss. I had a feeling this would happen, and you have an unhealthy attraction to that bastard." Beth yells "Bobby, I made a promise to Ruth to watch over her family.." Bobby yells back "Bullshit Beth! You are still attracted to Frank, and I know things have been rough since Tenny died a month ago, but damn! I'm here! I'm your Husband, and I've been better to you than Frank ever was!" Beth walks into the living room, as she grabs her purse, and storms out, as Bobby shakes his head, and says to himself "Damnit Beth, this can't go on. Something's got to change, and soon!"
At Jackson Inc, Sully arrives to her new office, as Xavier sits inside, and quips to his Daughter "Well it looks like you've left everything as is in here. I was expecting a renovation." Sully looks at her Father, and sighs "I expect you'll be back at this desk before too long Daddy." Xavier tells his Daughter "Princess, you're in charge now, I'm just the Chairman. But I do still own this company, and everything's safe." Sully asks her Father "So how's Millie?" Xavier smiles, and responds "She's doing fine, and doing a great job for Class. She may be starring in a movie soon, or was it a soap opera?" Sully watches her Father, as she asks "Are you ok Daddy?" Xavier responds "I'm great!" Sully tells her Father "You don't seem like yourself. What's with the changes? What's possessed you? We've always been open with each other, so tell me what's with the trips?" Xavier looks at Sully, and tells her gently "Focus on you, and your family, and Jackson Inc. I'm taking care of some things. Now off to see the love of my life." Xavier hugs his Daughter, and leaves, as Sully sits back, and says to herself "Mom's right." (Flashback, a few nights earlier, at Hell Hill, Leigh and Sully sits inside Xavier's study, as Leigh tells her Daughter "Sometimes when men reach 50, they have a crisis like menopause." Sully looks at her Mother, and assures "Daddy's only loved you Mom. And Desi's dead, so I highly doubt he's seeing somebody else." Leigh tells Sully "But in his family, the men have all cheated, and add your Grandmother to the list. You never know.") Sully's silent for a moment, as Jared walks inside, and Sully asks her Husband "So have you thought about what we discussed last night?" Jared looks at his Wife, and assures Sully "Baby, I don't believe Xavier would cheat on your Mom. He may be looking for my Grandmother. We both know he's planning something. Grandfather's got a bounty on her." Sully hugs her Husband, as she has a look of uncertainty in her eyes.
Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Summer and Jake sits at a table, as Jamie and Walter walks over, and Jamie hugs her Daughter, and Summer asks Walter "So have the two of you set a date yet?" Walter sighs "Well we're planning that as we speak. That book's still making millions." Jamie looks at Summer, and tells her "And soon we'll have Jackson Inc." Walter rolls his eyes, as he tells his fiancee "Look Jamie, I told you loud and clear I don't want to be part of what you're planning. I know the history of your family." Jamie assures Walter "You're rich, and I have connections, so we have nothing to fear." Summer asks Walter "Doesn't your Son work at Jackson Inc?" Walter sighs "Well he failed me Summer. He takes after his Mother." Walter turns to Jamie, and adds "Another reason you need to just think about your book, and our next book." Jamie asks "What book?" Walter responds "Sequel. We have what we need." Summer looks at her Mother, as Jamie sighs "If I do write another book, I don't want to mention my Brother Frank at all. He's the only one that's ever been on my side." Walter asks "And Bree?" Jamie rolls her eyes, as she sighs with disgust "She's fallen for the old bait and switch. She now worships my evil Sister." Summer quips "Let's write a tell all on Aunt Ava!" Walter looks at Summer, as Jamie tells her fiancee "That's a brilliant idea." Jamie tells Summer "You always took after me. You make me proud." Meanwhile in a darkened area, unknown to them, Angelica sits, as she drinks a cup of coffee, and looks at Jake, and snarls in an evil tone "Forget the damn books, and pay me back. Or else you'll lose your Daughter." Angelica looks at Jake, as he sits in a high chair, and sighs "Looks just like my dear Clayton."
At City Hospital, Terrance sits inside his office, as a Doctor walks inside, and tells Terrance "Here's your Mother's results." Terrance thanks the Doctor, as he walks out, as Terrance reads the results, as he takes a deep breath, as Aretha walks inside, and Terrance looks at his Sister, and asks "Where's Mama?" Aretha sits at her Brother's desk, and tells Terrance "She wouldn't come down here. We were lucky we got her here for those scans." Terrance hands the results to his Sister, as Aretha reads, and gasps "Oh dear god Terrance. This can't be?" Terrance grabs his Sister's hand, as Aretha starts to cry, as Terrance tells Aretha "We will have to treat her as normal as possible. Rashad needs to understand what's going on also." Aretha takes a deep breath, as she tells her Brother with fear in her voice "She's watching Little Sidney, but Uncle Clem's there." Terrance tells Aretha "That's good. Where's Rashad?" Aretha responds "At FJR." Terrance sternly warns Aretha "Mama does not need to be alone with your Grandson!" Aretha tells Terrance "He's her world, and Rashad's in denial, and he won't listen to us. He thinks we have other motives." Terrance looks at Aretha, and sighs "The only motive is to make sure Mama's comfortable, and we need to figure out how to break this to her." Aretha shakes her head, as she gets up, and tells Terrance "Let's discuss that with Uncle Clem and Rashad before we go ahead. She won't take this well." Terrance sighs with sadness "I know. She's showing all the signs." At The Evans Home, Willie walks inside, as Little Sidney heads off to school, as she tells Sayyid "Terrance's growing so fast." Sayyid sighs "Yes he is Willie." Willie then looks to her Brother, and asks "Where's Cissy, and Keith, Pentz, and Laila?" Sayyid reminds his Sister "Keith's on tour, and Cissy, Pentz, and Laila were murdered in the late 1960s Willie." Willie laughs "Oh. I forgot there for a moment." Sayyid's eyes fill with concern, as he gets a text from Winston, and replies "I'll meet you later." Sayyid looks at his Sister, as she tells her Brother "Go tell Sidney breakfast's ready." Sayyid nods, and walks outside, as he starts to cry.
At FJR, Rashad sits in the shop, as Frank walks inside, along with Cale, as Frank tells Rashad "Time to celebrate that ring champ!" Rashad sighs "I think I would like to pass on the celebrating." Frank asks "How's Willie? I ran into Clem the other day, and she told me she wasn't.." Rashad yells "She's fine! Mom and Uncle Terrance are overreacting." Cale sighs "I ran into Ms.Evans, and she didn't know who I was." Rashad responds "I think everything that has happened has effected her. Hell her and Tenny were growing close, and they became friends, though Grandma would yell at her when she lit a joint." Frank quips "Hell froze over when I seen that friendship come to be." Rashad asks Frank and Cale "Can we just stop the celebration? I want to celebrate with Grandma, and have her involved. All our families. This is a great milestone, and it may be what she needs." Frank and Cale nods in agreement, as Cale tells his Father and Rashad "Well y'all I'm heading to meet Allison at Chantel's. We're taking Ginny and Faye out. Rose may join us." Frank hugs his Son, and tells him "Take care of my two girls." Cale smiles "I will Dad." Cale leaves, as Rashad soon follows, and Frank walks around FJR, as he looks at Rashad's title, and says with pride "Mama we finally got a title. Sidney, your Grandson has made you proud." Meanwhile the door opens, as Bobby walks inside, and calmly goes "Frank? Have a minute?" Frank turns, as Bobby asks Frank "So have you forgotten that Beth's married?" Frank asks Bobby "What's your problem with Beth helping me with my Daughter?" Bobby responds "I have a damn problem when you're having sex with my Wife. Jamie told me about the two of you, and I have proof." Frank quips "And you can't arrest me either, because I haven't done a damn thing Mr.Mayor!" Bobby grabs Frank, and warns him coldly "Maybe not, but you stay the hell away from my Wife you piece of shit or I'll make you wish you had." Frank, in a cocky tone, tells Bobby "Beth and I are endgame. You are just filler." Bobby responds with a punch in Frank's face, and warns him "At least I treat her a hell of a lot better than you ever did, or ever will. Hopefully she'll wake up. And heed the warning Frank. You don't want to push me!" Bobby walks out, as Frank wipes the blood from his mouth, and he snarls "Whitten, you don't want to start something you can't win."
Meanwhile at Jazz, Allan sits in his office, as Olivia walks inside, and kisses her Husband, and whispers, as she covers his eyes "Guess who?" Allan goes "I think we were in a motel room last night?" Olivia goes "No Mr.Rock Legend!" Allan quips "I knew it was you." Olivia slyly asks "So are you being a good boy?" Allan answers in a childish manner "Maybe I am? Unless I'm influenced to be naughty." Olivia smiles "Tonight Allan. I'm on my way to the Hospital. Have you spoken to Nathan?" Allan answers "He went out to Los Angeles to promote his new artist, that male singer." Olivia goes "You?" Allan nods, and responds "I finished my album, and naming it "Tennessee", after Mama. It was nice producing it with my Son. A family affair." Olivia asks "So I take it you're touring as well?" Allan nods, and tells his Wife "I have some dates lined up. I promise to return home every night. The band's reuniting, and we're doing a short stint in the States, and then if all goes well, the world." Olivia quips "That's some huge ambitions, but I think I trust you enough to allow it." Allan asks "Wanna tag along?" Olivia reminds her Husband "If I did that Allan James, then who'd watch over City Hospital? I don't think Beth would be pleased." Allan sighs "That's right."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Beth arrives, as Ava greets Beth with a hug, and asks "How are you?" Beth sighs "I'm doing. I miss Mama so much." Ava sympathetically responds "I know Beth. It's not the same without her around." Beth asks Ava "Where's Xavier?" Ava responds "I haven't seen him, but we can go ask Sully. He came in earlier." Ava and Beth walks inside Sully's office, as Sully yells on the phone "I'm not playing no damn games now! Don't try to push me, because I'll tear your damn company apart!" Sully hangs up the phone, as Ava quips "Distributing problems at Jim's?" Sully sighs "Yes! Jamie's damn book has hurt this company. Daddy warned me about this." Beth smiles "And you handled things just as he would. But remember you're carrying my Great-Grandchild, so don't get too rough. Let your Aunt do that." Sully tells her Grandmother "Daddy went down to Class to visit Mom for awhile." Ava looks outside, as she sees Javon, and excuses herself, as Sully asks her Grandmother "Do you know anything about Daddy's trips?" Beth tells her Granddaughter "No I don't. But he missed your Gran's wish reading as she called it, and I'm a bit suspicious myself." Sully responds "Mom thinks Daddy's having an affair, and Aunt Ava thinks he's plotting to kill Angelica and Jamie." Beth sighs "Well with my Son, it could be anything Sully. But he's been acting odd." Meanwhile in Ava's office, Javon stands at Ava's desk, as Ava asks "So how's things going?" Javon tells Ava "My Father won't speak to me, and my Mother told me he's playing Jamie." Ava smiles "Nice. Karma will always rear it's ugly head to plastic whores like Jamie." Javon adds "All he sees is cash, and my Mama said he's known for this. He's always cheated on her, and finally she divorced his ass." Ava smiles "Well, even better news. It warms my heart, when I know the cycles never change with some." Back in Sully's office, Beth and Sully chat, as the phone rings, and Sully answers, as she yells "Hold on a damn minute! Just because my Daddy...don't make fun of me asshole, I'll make you regret it." Beth tells her Granddaughter "I'll see myself out." Beth walks out, with pride, as she looks up, and says with a tear in her eye "Mama you would be so proud of Sully."
As afternoon has arrived, Xavier and Leigh sits at a table on the patio of La Trattoria, as Leigh asks her Husband "So when will you open up about these trips with me?" Xavier tells his Wife "Leigh I don't want to discuss business. I just want to enjoy sitting here, with my Wife." Leigh sighs "X, Gracie and Little X are asking about you, and they miss you. I can't sleep in our bed without you there." Xavier sighs "My love, I'll be home soon full time I assure." Meanwhile Walter walks outside, as he looks at Xavier and Leigh, and quips "The mighty Xavier Jackson. The most evil man I've ever encountered." Xavier turns to Walter, and asks "So you still working with my Sister?" Walter nods, and replies "We're getting ready for a sequel. Hollywood wants to make a movie out of the first book." Xavier's eyes turn red, as he gets up, and warns Walter "You doing that would be a fatal error also you son of a bitch." Walter warns Xavier "People know your family, and this town for its backward ways, and you know, the two of you should really be nicer to poor Jamie." Leigh laughs sarcastically "Poor Jamie? Are you damn crazy?" Xavier takes a deep breath, with his hand in his coat pocket, as Walter continues "The way all of you treated her, and Ava setting her on fire..." Xavier warns Walter "You should keep walking. You read the damn book, so you should know what's next." Walter tells Xavier and Leigh "Tread softly. Keep those tempers in check. I have paparazzi all over this town. I own The Gossiper." Xavier smiles "And I have two people on speed dial to take you someplace dark and cold." Walter struts away, as Leigh looks at Xavier, and asks "Is he on your hit list also X?" Xavier nods, and tells Leigh "He'll get his when the time is right." Xavier's phone rings, as Leigh rolls her eyes, as Xavier answers, and tells the person on the other line "I'll be in town tonight." Xavier hangs up, and Leigh asks "Was that a woman you were talking to? I want to know what's going on Xavier!" Xavier looks at Leigh, as he motions for the waitress, and tells his Wife "I don't want to discuss my phone call, but I have to leave town for a few day.." Leigh yells "Whatever. I don't know what's going on, but I've almost had it with this shit!" Leigh storms off, as Xavier leaves a $100 dollar bill, and heads to Adam's Landing International Airport.
At HaleCorp, Jared walks inside his office, as Winston, Alexandra, and Colt sit inside, and Jared tells his Grandfather "Ruthie's strutting around the daycare." Winston laughs for a moment, before he gets to business, as he tells his Grandson "Jared, we found somebody to off some folks for us." Alexandra turns to Winston, and asks "I thought we were here to discuss a project?" Winston responds "We are. The killing Angelica and Jamie project." Jared asks "And I'm in this how?" Winston points to Colt, as he tells Jared "Colt may be into auto racing, but he's got good aim." Colt tells Winston "I don't mind killing Angelica, but Jamie Marx? Damn she's fine?" Alexandra hits her Husband, and snarls "We may have an open marriage Colt, but she's not on the approval list. You may catch a lot of STDs with that whore." Colt asks "Well Summer looks ripe?" Winston yells "Business! I want Angelica dead, and we all want the same desire, and Colt can do the job!" Alexandra tells everyone "She killed my Daughter, Granddaughter, and if I run across her, I'll finish her off." Jared responds "You all handle the killing business, but let it be known, if she comes close to Sully or Ruthie, I'll kill her, otherwise my focus is on HaleCorp." Winston tells his Grandson "I just wanted you to know what's going on Jared. Since you run my legacy, this is part of it." Jared shakes his head, as Colt yells "I'll go find Angelica now!" Alexandra tells Colt "I'm behind you sexy. And if you even eye Summer, I'll make you sleep on the couch!" Colt and Alexandra walk out, as Winston asks Jared "So anymore word on Xavier? I have called him, but he hasn't answered." Jared looks at his Grandfather, and tells him "I don't know Grandfather. Sully and Leigh thinks he's cheating." Winston walks over to the liquor cabinet in Jared's office, and pours a glass of liquor, and asks Jared "Care for a sip?" Jared declines, as Winston tells Jared "Xavier Jackson's the most loyal man I know, and he would never cheat on Leigh, hell she's a former model! Who'd cheat on Leigh Woods?" Jared sighs "I hope you're right." Winston nods, and responds "I am right. Xavier is very loyal to the people he loves." Winston takes another drink, and tells Jared "Off to visit Ruthie, and then to my study for a good book." Jared looks at his Grandfather, as Winston walks out, and goes "Grandfather?" Winston turns and asks "Yes?" Jared hugs his Grandfather, and tells him "I love you. I'm glad we're close." Winston chokes up, and responds "Jared, I am too, and I'm damn glad you didn't turn out like your Father. I wish I was half the man you are." Winston walks out, as Jared sits at his desk, and reflects on his past with his Grandfather, and says to himself "You just had some bad apples Grandfather. That was all."
Meanwhile at The Exposer, Aretha sits in her office, as her receptionist tells her "Someone's here to see you." Aretha motions for the person to walk inside, as Monica walks inside, and Aretha stands up, and goes "Monica Carver! Monica quips "In time, right now I'll keep my DuBois name." Aretha tells Monica "I hope this is business related." Monica sighs "It is Aretha. I want to tell some things about my Ex Husband." Aretha sits back, as she types, as Monica tells Aretha "They are getting married soon, and he's disowned Javon.." Aretha gasps, and sarcastically goes "Well, I take it there's more to your visit then?" Monica tells Aretha "I've been talking to Terrance lately.." Aretha yells "STOP IT RIGHT THERE! Stay away from my damn Brother!" Monica asks "Why, we've always been friends! What in the hell is your problem? Still got that bitchy attitude I see?" Aretha asks "What? Think I'd forget?" Monica sighs "Look I'm ready to open up, and I thought it would be easy to with you, but I think I should have followed my first instincts." Aretha points to the door, and snarks "Call next time bitch!" Monica walks out, as Sayyid walks inside, and asks Aretha "What was she doing here?" Aretha yells with frustration "Likely stirring up the past. She broke Terrance's heart years ago, I don't forgive." Sayyid sighs "Well on another note, we need to talk about Willie. Have you gotten some news yet on what the results say?" Aretha takes a deep breath, and sighs "Are you sure you want to know?" Sayyid responds "She's my Sister, my second Mother. I don't want to, but I need to." Aretha tells her Uncle, as Sayyid shakes his head, and gets up, as he throws a piece of glass across the room, as he screams "Damn! I don't know how I'll cope with this." Aretha cries, as she responds "Terrance and I are trying to find out how to tell her. I think we're going to let someone else break the news." Sayyid asks "Who?" Aretha asks "Any suggestions?" Sayyid tells his Niece "How about Beth? She may be retired, but Willie may take it better from her than from us." Aretha looks at her Uncle, and hugs him, as she cries "I think that'd be the right route to go." Sayyid holds his Niece, as he gently says "She knows something's not right, but Beth would be the best one to give her the news. I'm heading back. Rashad's there, and she called him Terrance again." Sayyid walks out, as he screams in the lobby, as Aretha calls her Brother, as Terrance sits at his desk at City Hospital, and Aretha tells Terrance "We should let Beth break this to Mama." Terrance, sitting in his office, agrees, and hangs up, as he calls Beth, but to no answer, as Aretha walks around her office, and cries for her Mother.
At The Farm, Frank sits inside with Cale and Allison, as Allison tells her Father In Law "I think Faye's worn out." Frank look at his Daughter, and quips, as she sleeps "I'd say so." There's a knock at the door, as Cale answers, and Jamie goes "Hello Cale." Frank looks at his Son and Daughter In Law, and tells them "I need to talk to my Sister for a moment in private." Cale looks at his Aunt with disgust, and tells his Father "I think Ginny's ready to pass out herself." Cale and Allison leaves, as Frank points to his eye, and asks his Sister "Wanna know how I got the shiner Jamie?" Jamie sighs "I told Bobby. Hell Frank, we both know Beth's a whore. Look at her past, she married our Daddy, had his spawn.." Frank yells at his Sister "Jamie, Beth's been there for me and has helped me out with Faye. Do you have any idea how difficult a man my age has taking care of a little girl?" Jamie responds "Hire a nanny." Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Summer and Jake walks inside, as they return from the ALPD, as Summer tells her Son "Aunt Bree wants us to move?" Summer hears a voice, as she turns on the light in the living room, where Angelica sits, and Summer asks "How did you get in here?" This is a gated neighborhood." Angelica snaps her fingers, and two men walk out of the kitchen, as Angelica sighs "Well Summer, don't question me for one. And your Mother owes me." Summer asks "And this concerns me?" Angelica walks up to Summer, and touches Jake, as she goes "My sweet Grandson." Jake holds onto his Mother, as Summer looks at Angelica, and smiles "He isn't your Grandson you evil bitch." Angelica sighs "Summer, Summer, Summer, you have a good history of lying don't you? Well my dear Clayton's the Father, and we both know that to be true now don't we?" Summer shakes her head, as she warns Angelica "Whatever's going on with my Mom and you, leave me out of it!" Angelica pulls out her pistol, as she tells Summer "I'm so sorry to say this, but that's not going to happen." Jakes holds onto his Mother, as Angelica walks over, and Summer warns Angelica "Leave my Son alone. He may have your blood in him, but he won't be involved in this." Angelica yells for the two men, as she warns Summer "Better warn your Mommy she owes me. Or else." Angelica points to Jake, as she walks out, as the two men follow, and Summer looks at her Son, as she tells Jake "Don't worry about her Jake." A few moments later, Bree walks inside, and asks her Sister "What happened here?" Summer tells Bree "Mom's playing with the devil, and I need protection." Bree takes a deep breath, and shakes her head, as she assures Summer "I'll protect you. Mom's only worry is herself."
As evening's arrived upon Adam's Landing, at Hell Hill, Beth sits inside the living room, as Leigh tells her Mother In Law "I don't know what to do Beth. X is acting strange, and I've had enough!" Beth shakes her head, and reminds Leigh "He's not seeing anybody, and I know that for fact. I know my Son." Leigh goes "Have you gotten anything out of him? You're his Mother!" Beth snaps "No Leigh! He won't talk to me either! But I won't listen to this rant you're throwing about my Son!" Leigh looks at Beth, and asks "You're cheating on Bobby, and Xavier may be having a mid-life crisis, so think that cheating gene's kicking in.." Beth slaps her Daughter In Law, as Beth warns Leigh "I want to get something straight with you right now Leigh, my Son only had one fling during the years he thought you were dead with Alexandra's Daughter, and that was it. He never changes his feelings, and before you start going crazy, remember that affair with Clayton Hale that you had?" Leigh tells Beth "There's the door. I'm done with this!" Beth warns Leigh "Don't accuse my Son of anything. Get your head together, and get a damn grip on yourself!" Beth leaves, as Leigh shakes her head, as she looks at her wedding ring. At Sully and Jared's Penthouse, Sully arrives, as Jared asks his Wife "So how was your day?" Sully sighs "Hell. And Mom's convinced Daddy's having an affair, and...." Jared kisses his Wife, and asks "Want to have some quiet time since Ruthie's asleep?" Sully smiles, as they head to the bedroom. At Beth and Bobby's home at Whispering Hills, Ava and Winston sits inside, as Bobby warns Ava "Frank's pushing his damn buttons with me, and I am very capable of making him regret it!" Ava yells "I don't give a damn about Frank and Beth's affair, and you should know they are like damn magnets to start with. What about Xavier? What do you know?" Bobby sighs "I know as much as anyone else does. He hasn't told me anything about where he's going." Winston looks at his Wife, and tells Ava "I hope he's plotting something against Angelica. He could be getting ready to do something." Ava looks around, and sighs "I think something more is going on Winston." Outside Beth sits in her car, as she listens to Terrance's message, and calls him, as he's at his Home, and Beth asks "So what's going on with Willie?" Terrance tells Beth "Mama has dementia. She's having flashbacks, and I want you to tell her. It can't come from Aretha or me." Beth tells Terrance "I'll do that Terrance. And keep me updated, and when I get a chance, I'll call you to bring her to meet me." Terrance asks "Xavier's still on the mystery trips?" Beth sighs "Yes, and that's what I want to know most of all." Meanwhile at Monica's Home in Downtown Adam's Landing, Javon walks inside, as Monica, Olivia, and Allan sits on the couch, as Monica and Olivia reminisce on their days as children, and Monica looks at her old friend, and tells Olivia "I think it's time the truth comes out." Javon listens, as his Mother doesn't know he's home, as Allan sits next to his Wife, and Olivia asks "What needs to come out?" Monica takes a deep breath, and reveals to Olivia "I need to tell Javon about his Father." Olivia asks "Is that wise?" Monica sighs "I think so." Javon walks inside, and asks his Mother "And what do I need to know about Walter?" Monica looks at her Son, and reveals "He's not your Father Javon. Terrance Evans is." Javon's jaw drops, as he goes "A gay man is my Dad? Shit! Shit!" Javon runs out, as Monica sighs "Now I have to tell Terrance." Olivia quips "Your timing is still off." Meanwhile at Walter's Mansion, Walter lays in his bed, as he tells an employee "Oh? Millie Windsor's perfect. That'd be icing on the cake for the movie. Sign her, and promote it." Jamie walks inside, as Walter tells his fiancee "Want to celebrate?" Jamie jumps on top of Walter, as he takes off her clothes, as she unbuttons his shirt, as they have sex. Meanwhile at The Farm, Bree, Summer, and Jake sits in the living room, as Bree tells her Uncle "Mom's playing with the devil, and it's not going to end well." Frank assures his Nieces "Jamie's changed. She's not who she used to be, and none of you will get caught in between whatever's going on with her and Angelica Hale." At The Holiday Motel, in a private Suite, Angelica looks at a man, and hands him a bottle, and responds "I want you to use this. Jamie's going to learn what happens when one defies me. And in return, you will have her Daughter, and I'll have my Grandson, and Jamie will pay up if they matter." Angelica laughs, as she gets a pill bottle out of her purse, and hands it to the man." Back at Hell Hill, Leigh calls her Husband, and the phone goes to voice mail, and Leigh throws the phone across the room, and yells "Damnit X! Are you trying to hurt me? Is this payback?" Meanwhile in a room, at an undisclosed location, Xavier sits, as he looks at someone and tells them "I can't keep hiding this." The other person puts their hand on Xavier's, and responds "Tell your family."
It's the next morning, and at Whispering Hills, Ava and Winston sit inside the living room, as they watch a video of J.J., as Ava tells her Husband "I told Jack he better pay his Mama a visit soon. My little J.J.'s growing so fast." Winston assures his Wife "Victoria's keeping a good eye on Jack, Samantha, and J.J.. So how's things at Jackson Inc? How's Sully handling the duties of CEO?" Ava gleams, as she tells Winston "Actually, she's damn good at multitasking. I always knew she had it in her. Xavier and I did a great job training her the business. And she's got that mean streak." Winston quips "Could come in handy." Ava holds Winston's hand, as they walk outside onto the porch, as she sighs with content "She's a natural." Meanwhile at Ciarra and Floyd's former home, where Beth and Bobby now resides, Beth cooks breakfast, as Bobby walks into the kitchen, and asks his Wife "So are you going to see Frank again?" Beth responds "I'm planning to talk to my Son today. And you need to stop worrying so damn much Bobby. You have enough going on as Mayor." Bobby has a flashback (Bobby sits in his office, as he receives a video message from Jamie, and Bobby says to himself "Frank, you're starting to piss me off!") Bobby asks Beth "Come out and admit it, you've had an affair. I know you have." Beth is silent, as she turns the oven off, and looks at her Husband, and goes "Jamie told you didn't she?" Bobby responds "Via video Boss. I had a feeling this would happen, and you have an unhealthy attraction to that bastard." Beth yells "Bobby, I made a promise to Ruth to watch over her family.." Bobby yells back "Bullshit Beth! You are still attracted to Frank, and I know things have been rough since Tenny died a month ago, but damn! I'm here! I'm your Husband, and I've been better to you than Frank ever was!" Beth walks into the living room, as she grabs her purse, and storms out, as Bobby shakes his head, and says to himself "Damnit Beth, this can't go on. Something's got to change, and soon!"
At Jackson Inc, Sully arrives to her new office, as Xavier sits inside, and quips to his Daughter "Well it looks like you've left everything as is in here. I was expecting a renovation." Sully looks at her Father, and sighs "I expect you'll be back at this desk before too long Daddy." Xavier tells his Daughter "Princess, you're in charge now, I'm just the Chairman. But I do still own this company, and everything's safe." Sully asks her Father "So how's Millie?" Xavier smiles, and responds "She's doing fine, and doing a great job for Class. She may be starring in a movie soon, or was it a soap opera?" Sully watches her Father, as she asks "Are you ok Daddy?" Xavier responds "I'm great!" Sully tells her Father "You don't seem like yourself. What's with the changes? What's possessed you? We've always been open with each other, so tell me what's with the trips?" Xavier looks at Sully, and tells her gently "Focus on you, and your family, and Jackson Inc. I'm taking care of some things. Now off to see the love of my life." Xavier hugs his Daughter, and leaves, as Sully sits back, and says to herself "Mom's right." (Flashback, a few nights earlier, at Hell Hill, Leigh and Sully sits inside Xavier's study, as Leigh tells her Daughter "Sometimes when men reach 50, they have a crisis like menopause." Sully looks at her Mother, and assures "Daddy's only loved you Mom. And Desi's dead, so I highly doubt he's seeing somebody else." Leigh tells Sully "But in his family, the men have all cheated, and add your Grandmother to the list. You never know.") Sully's silent for a moment, as Jared walks inside, and Sully asks her Husband "So have you thought about what we discussed last night?" Jared looks at his Wife, and assures Sully "Baby, I don't believe Xavier would cheat on your Mom. He may be looking for my Grandmother. We both know he's planning something. Grandfather's got a bounty on her." Sully hugs her Husband, as she has a look of uncertainty in her eyes.
Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Summer and Jake sits at a table, as Jamie and Walter walks over, and Jamie hugs her Daughter, and Summer asks Walter "So have the two of you set a date yet?" Walter sighs "Well we're planning that as we speak. That book's still making millions." Jamie looks at Summer, and tells her "And soon we'll have Jackson Inc." Walter rolls his eyes, as he tells his fiancee "Look Jamie, I told you loud and clear I don't want to be part of what you're planning. I know the history of your family." Jamie assures Walter "You're rich, and I have connections, so we have nothing to fear." Summer asks Walter "Doesn't your Son work at Jackson Inc?" Walter sighs "Well he failed me Summer. He takes after his Mother." Walter turns to Jamie, and adds "Another reason you need to just think about your book, and our next book." Jamie asks "What book?" Walter responds "Sequel. We have what we need." Summer looks at her Mother, as Jamie sighs "If I do write another book, I don't want to mention my Brother Frank at all. He's the only one that's ever been on my side." Walter asks "And Bree?" Jamie rolls her eyes, as she sighs with disgust "She's fallen for the old bait and switch. She now worships my evil Sister." Summer quips "Let's write a tell all on Aunt Ava!" Walter looks at Summer, as Jamie tells her fiancee "That's a brilliant idea." Jamie tells Summer "You always took after me. You make me proud." Meanwhile in a darkened area, unknown to them, Angelica sits, as she drinks a cup of coffee, and looks at Jake, and snarls in an evil tone "Forget the damn books, and pay me back. Or else you'll lose your Daughter." Angelica looks at Jake, as he sits in a high chair, and sighs "Looks just like my dear Clayton."
At City Hospital, Terrance sits inside his office, as a Doctor walks inside, and tells Terrance "Here's your Mother's results." Terrance thanks the Doctor, as he walks out, as Terrance reads the results, as he takes a deep breath, as Aretha walks inside, and Terrance looks at his Sister, and asks "Where's Mama?" Aretha sits at her Brother's desk, and tells Terrance "She wouldn't come down here. We were lucky we got her here for those scans." Terrance hands the results to his Sister, as Aretha reads, and gasps "Oh dear god Terrance. This can't be?" Terrance grabs his Sister's hand, as Aretha starts to cry, as Terrance tells Aretha "We will have to treat her as normal as possible. Rashad needs to understand what's going on also." Aretha takes a deep breath, as she tells her Brother with fear in her voice "She's watching Little Sidney, but Uncle Clem's there." Terrance tells Aretha "That's good. Where's Rashad?" Aretha responds "At FJR." Terrance sternly warns Aretha "Mama does not need to be alone with your Grandson!" Aretha tells Terrance "He's her world, and Rashad's in denial, and he won't listen to us. He thinks we have other motives." Terrance looks at Aretha, and sighs "The only motive is to make sure Mama's comfortable, and we need to figure out how to break this to her." Aretha shakes her head, as she gets up, and tells Terrance "Let's discuss that with Uncle Clem and Rashad before we go ahead. She won't take this well." Terrance sighs with sadness "I know. She's showing all the signs." At The Evans Home, Willie walks inside, as Little Sidney heads off to school, as she tells Sayyid "Terrance's growing so fast." Sayyid sighs "Yes he is Willie." Willie then looks to her Brother, and asks "Where's Cissy, and Keith, Pentz, and Laila?" Sayyid reminds his Sister "Keith's on tour, and Cissy, Pentz, and Laila were murdered in the late 1960s Willie." Willie laughs "Oh. I forgot there for a moment." Sayyid's eyes fill with concern, as he gets a text from Winston, and replies "I'll meet you later." Sayyid looks at his Sister, as she tells her Brother "Go tell Sidney breakfast's ready." Sayyid nods, and walks outside, as he starts to cry.
At FJR, Rashad sits in the shop, as Frank walks inside, along with Cale, as Frank tells Rashad "Time to celebrate that ring champ!" Rashad sighs "I think I would like to pass on the celebrating." Frank asks "How's Willie? I ran into Clem the other day, and she told me she wasn't.." Rashad yells "She's fine! Mom and Uncle Terrance are overreacting." Cale sighs "I ran into Ms.Evans, and she didn't know who I was." Rashad responds "I think everything that has happened has effected her. Hell her and Tenny were growing close, and they became friends, though Grandma would yell at her when she lit a joint." Frank quips "Hell froze over when I seen that friendship come to be." Rashad asks Frank and Cale "Can we just stop the celebration? I want to celebrate with Grandma, and have her involved. All our families. This is a great milestone, and it may be what she needs." Frank and Cale nods in agreement, as Cale tells his Father and Rashad "Well y'all I'm heading to meet Allison at Chantel's. We're taking Ginny and Faye out. Rose may join us." Frank hugs his Son, and tells him "Take care of my two girls." Cale smiles "I will Dad." Cale leaves, as Rashad soon follows, and Frank walks around FJR, as he looks at Rashad's title, and says with pride "Mama we finally got a title. Sidney, your Grandson has made you proud." Meanwhile the door opens, as Bobby walks inside, and calmly goes "Frank? Have a minute?" Frank turns, as Bobby asks Frank "So have you forgotten that Beth's married?" Frank asks Bobby "What's your problem with Beth helping me with my Daughter?" Bobby responds "I have a damn problem when you're having sex with my Wife. Jamie told me about the two of you, and I have proof." Frank quips "And you can't arrest me either, because I haven't done a damn thing Mr.Mayor!" Bobby grabs Frank, and warns him coldly "Maybe not, but you stay the hell away from my Wife you piece of shit or I'll make you wish you had." Frank, in a cocky tone, tells Bobby "Beth and I are endgame. You are just filler." Bobby responds with a punch in Frank's face, and warns him "At least I treat her a hell of a lot better than you ever did, or ever will. Hopefully she'll wake up. And heed the warning Frank. You don't want to push me!" Bobby walks out, as Frank wipes the blood from his mouth, and he snarls "Whitten, you don't want to start something you can't win."
Meanwhile at Jazz, Allan sits in his office, as Olivia walks inside, and kisses her Husband, and whispers, as she covers his eyes "Guess who?" Allan goes "I think we were in a motel room last night?" Olivia goes "No Mr.Rock Legend!" Allan quips "I knew it was you." Olivia slyly asks "So are you being a good boy?" Allan answers in a childish manner "Maybe I am? Unless I'm influenced to be naughty." Olivia smiles "Tonight Allan. I'm on my way to the Hospital. Have you spoken to Nathan?" Allan answers "He went out to Los Angeles to promote his new artist, that male singer." Olivia goes "You?" Allan nods, and responds "I finished my album, and naming it "Tennessee", after Mama. It was nice producing it with my Son. A family affair." Olivia asks "So I take it you're touring as well?" Allan nods, and tells his Wife "I have some dates lined up. I promise to return home every night. The band's reuniting, and we're doing a short stint in the States, and then if all goes well, the world." Olivia quips "That's some huge ambitions, but I think I trust you enough to allow it." Allan asks "Wanna tag along?" Olivia reminds her Husband "If I did that Allan James, then who'd watch over City Hospital? I don't think Beth would be pleased." Allan sighs "That's right."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Beth arrives, as Ava greets Beth with a hug, and asks "How are you?" Beth sighs "I'm doing. I miss Mama so much." Ava sympathetically responds "I know Beth. It's not the same without her around." Beth asks Ava "Where's Xavier?" Ava responds "I haven't seen him, but we can go ask Sully. He came in earlier." Ava and Beth walks inside Sully's office, as Sully yells on the phone "I'm not playing no damn games now! Don't try to push me, because I'll tear your damn company apart!" Sully hangs up the phone, as Ava quips "Distributing problems at Jim's?" Sully sighs "Yes! Jamie's damn book has hurt this company. Daddy warned me about this." Beth smiles "And you handled things just as he would. But remember you're carrying my Great-Grandchild, so don't get too rough. Let your Aunt do that." Sully tells her Grandmother "Daddy went down to Class to visit Mom for awhile." Ava looks outside, as she sees Javon, and excuses herself, as Sully asks her Grandmother "Do you know anything about Daddy's trips?" Beth tells her Granddaughter "No I don't. But he missed your Gran's wish reading as she called it, and I'm a bit suspicious myself." Sully responds "Mom thinks Daddy's having an affair, and Aunt Ava thinks he's plotting to kill Angelica and Jamie." Beth sighs "Well with my Son, it could be anything Sully. But he's been acting odd." Meanwhile in Ava's office, Javon stands at Ava's desk, as Ava asks "So how's things going?" Javon tells Ava "My Father won't speak to me, and my Mother told me he's playing Jamie." Ava smiles "Nice. Karma will always rear it's ugly head to plastic whores like Jamie." Javon adds "All he sees is cash, and my Mama said he's known for this. He's always cheated on her, and finally she divorced his ass." Ava smiles "Well, even better news. It warms my heart, when I know the cycles never change with some." Back in Sully's office, Beth and Sully chat, as the phone rings, and Sully answers, as she yells "Hold on a damn minute! Just because my Daddy...don't make fun of me asshole, I'll make you regret it." Beth tells her Granddaughter "I'll see myself out." Beth walks out, with pride, as she looks up, and says with a tear in her eye "Mama you would be so proud of Sully."
As afternoon has arrived, Xavier and Leigh sits at a table on the patio of La Trattoria, as Leigh asks her Husband "So when will you open up about these trips with me?" Xavier tells his Wife "Leigh I don't want to discuss business. I just want to enjoy sitting here, with my Wife." Leigh sighs "X, Gracie and Little X are asking about you, and they miss you. I can't sleep in our bed without you there." Xavier sighs "My love, I'll be home soon full time I assure." Meanwhile Walter walks outside, as he looks at Xavier and Leigh, and quips "The mighty Xavier Jackson. The most evil man I've ever encountered." Xavier turns to Walter, and asks "So you still working with my Sister?" Walter nods, and replies "We're getting ready for a sequel. Hollywood wants to make a movie out of the first book." Xavier's eyes turn red, as he gets up, and warns Walter "You doing that would be a fatal error also you son of a bitch." Walter warns Xavier "People know your family, and this town for its backward ways, and you know, the two of you should really be nicer to poor Jamie." Leigh laughs sarcastically "Poor Jamie? Are you damn crazy?" Xavier takes a deep breath, with his hand in his coat pocket, as Walter continues "The way all of you treated her, and Ava setting her on fire..." Xavier warns Walter "You should keep walking. You read the damn book, so you should know what's next." Walter tells Xavier and Leigh "Tread softly. Keep those tempers in check. I have paparazzi all over this town. I own The Gossiper." Xavier smiles "And I have two people on speed dial to take you someplace dark and cold." Walter struts away, as Leigh looks at Xavier, and asks "Is he on your hit list also X?" Xavier nods, and tells Leigh "He'll get his when the time is right." Xavier's phone rings, as Leigh rolls her eyes, as Xavier answers, and tells the person on the other line "I'll be in town tonight." Xavier hangs up, and Leigh asks "Was that a woman you were talking to? I want to know what's going on Xavier!" Xavier looks at Leigh, as he motions for the waitress, and tells his Wife "I don't want to discuss my phone call, but I have to leave town for a few day.." Leigh yells "Whatever. I don't know what's going on, but I've almost had it with this shit!" Leigh storms off, as Xavier leaves a $100 dollar bill, and heads to Adam's Landing International Airport.
At HaleCorp, Jared walks inside his office, as Winston, Alexandra, and Colt sit inside, and Jared tells his Grandfather "Ruthie's strutting around the daycare." Winston laughs for a moment, before he gets to business, as he tells his Grandson "Jared, we found somebody to off some folks for us." Alexandra turns to Winston, and asks "I thought we were here to discuss a project?" Winston responds "We are. The killing Angelica and Jamie project." Jared asks "And I'm in this how?" Winston points to Colt, as he tells Jared "Colt may be into auto racing, but he's got good aim." Colt tells Winston "I don't mind killing Angelica, but Jamie Marx? Damn she's fine?" Alexandra hits her Husband, and snarls "We may have an open marriage Colt, but she's not on the approval list. You may catch a lot of STDs with that whore." Colt asks "Well Summer looks ripe?" Winston yells "Business! I want Angelica dead, and we all want the same desire, and Colt can do the job!" Alexandra tells everyone "She killed my Daughter, Granddaughter, and if I run across her, I'll finish her off." Jared responds "You all handle the killing business, but let it be known, if she comes close to Sully or Ruthie, I'll kill her, otherwise my focus is on HaleCorp." Winston tells his Grandson "I just wanted you to know what's going on Jared. Since you run my legacy, this is part of it." Jared shakes his head, as Colt yells "I'll go find Angelica now!" Alexandra tells Colt "I'm behind you sexy. And if you even eye Summer, I'll make you sleep on the couch!" Colt and Alexandra walk out, as Winston asks Jared "So anymore word on Xavier? I have called him, but he hasn't answered." Jared looks at his Grandfather, and tells him "I don't know Grandfather. Sully and Leigh thinks he's cheating." Winston walks over to the liquor cabinet in Jared's office, and pours a glass of liquor, and asks Jared "Care for a sip?" Jared declines, as Winston tells Jared "Xavier Jackson's the most loyal man I know, and he would never cheat on Leigh, hell she's a former model! Who'd cheat on Leigh Woods?" Jared sighs "I hope you're right." Winston nods, and responds "I am right. Xavier is very loyal to the people he loves." Winston takes another drink, and tells Jared "Off to visit Ruthie, and then to my study for a good book." Jared looks at his Grandfather, as Winston walks out, and goes "Grandfather?" Winston turns and asks "Yes?" Jared hugs his Grandfather, and tells him "I love you. I'm glad we're close." Winston chokes up, and responds "Jared, I am too, and I'm damn glad you didn't turn out like your Father. I wish I was half the man you are." Winston walks out, as Jared sits at his desk, and reflects on his past with his Grandfather, and says to himself "You just had some bad apples Grandfather. That was all."
Meanwhile at The Exposer, Aretha sits in her office, as her receptionist tells her "Someone's here to see you." Aretha motions for the person to walk inside, as Monica walks inside, and Aretha stands up, and goes "Monica Carver! Monica quips "In time, right now I'll keep my DuBois name." Aretha tells Monica "I hope this is business related." Monica sighs "It is Aretha. I want to tell some things about my Ex Husband." Aretha sits back, as she types, as Monica tells Aretha "They are getting married soon, and he's disowned Javon.." Aretha gasps, and sarcastically goes "Well, I take it there's more to your visit then?" Monica tells Aretha "I've been talking to Terrance lately.." Aretha yells "STOP IT RIGHT THERE! Stay away from my damn Brother!" Monica asks "Why, we've always been friends! What in the hell is your problem? Still got that bitchy attitude I see?" Aretha asks "What? Think I'd forget?" Monica sighs "Look I'm ready to open up, and I thought it would be easy to with you, but I think I should have followed my first instincts." Aretha points to the door, and snarks "Call next time bitch!" Monica walks out, as Sayyid walks inside, and asks Aretha "What was she doing here?" Aretha yells with frustration "Likely stirring up the past. She broke Terrance's heart years ago, I don't forgive." Sayyid sighs "Well on another note, we need to talk about Willie. Have you gotten some news yet on what the results say?" Aretha takes a deep breath, and sighs "Are you sure you want to know?" Sayyid responds "She's my Sister, my second Mother. I don't want to, but I need to." Aretha tells her Uncle, as Sayyid shakes his head, and gets up, as he throws a piece of glass across the room, as he screams "Damn! I don't know how I'll cope with this." Aretha cries, as she responds "Terrance and I are trying to find out how to tell her. I think we're going to let someone else break the news." Sayyid asks "Who?" Aretha asks "Any suggestions?" Sayyid tells his Niece "How about Beth? She may be retired, but Willie may take it better from her than from us." Aretha looks at her Uncle, and hugs him, as she cries "I think that'd be the right route to go." Sayyid holds his Niece, as he gently says "She knows something's not right, but Beth would be the best one to give her the news. I'm heading back. Rashad's there, and she called him Terrance again." Sayyid walks out, as he screams in the lobby, as Aretha calls her Brother, as Terrance sits at his desk at City Hospital, and Aretha tells Terrance "We should let Beth break this to Mama." Terrance, sitting in his office, agrees, and hangs up, as he calls Beth, but to no answer, as Aretha walks around her office, and cries for her Mother.
At The Farm, Frank sits inside with Cale and Allison, as Allison tells her Father In Law "I think Faye's worn out." Frank look at his Daughter, and quips, as she sleeps "I'd say so." There's a knock at the door, as Cale answers, and Jamie goes "Hello Cale." Frank looks at his Son and Daughter In Law, and tells them "I need to talk to my Sister for a moment in private." Cale looks at his Aunt with disgust, and tells his Father "I think Ginny's ready to pass out herself." Cale and Allison leaves, as Frank points to his eye, and asks his Sister "Wanna know how I got the shiner Jamie?" Jamie sighs "I told Bobby. Hell Frank, we both know Beth's a whore. Look at her past, she married our Daddy, had his spawn.." Frank yells at his Sister "Jamie, Beth's been there for me and has helped me out with Faye. Do you have any idea how difficult a man my age has taking care of a little girl?" Jamie responds "Hire a nanny." Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Summer and Jake walks inside, as they return from the ALPD, as Summer tells her Son "Aunt Bree wants us to move?" Summer hears a voice, as she turns on the light in the living room, where Angelica sits, and Summer asks "How did you get in here?" This is a gated neighborhood." Angelica snaps her fingers, and two men walk out of the kitchen, as Angelica sighs "Well Summer, don't question me for one. And your Mother owes me." Summer asks "And this concerns me?" Angelica walks up to Summer, and touches Jake, as she goes "My sweet Grandson." Jake holds onto his Mother, as Summer looks at Angelica, and smiles "He isn't your Grandson you evil bitch." Angelica sighs "Summer, Summer, Summer, you have a good history of lying don't you? Well my dear Clayton's the Father, and we both know that to be true now don't we?" Summer shakes her head, as she warns Angelica "Whatever's going on with my Mom and you, leave me out of it!" Angelica pulls out her pistol, as she tells Summer "I'm so sorry to say this, but that's not going to happen." Jakes holds onto his Mother, as Angelica walks over, and Summer warns Angelica "Leave my Son alone. He may have your blood in him, but he won't be involved in this." Angelica yells for the two men, as she warns Summer "Better warn your Mommy she owes me. Or else." Angelica points to Jake, as she walks out, as the two men follow, and Summer looks at her Son, as she tells Jake "Don't worry about her Jake." A few moments later, Bree walks inside, and asks her Sister "What happened here?" Summer tells Bree "Mom's playing with the devil, and I need protection." Bree takes a deep breath, and shakes her head, as she assures Summer "I'll protect you. Mom's only worry is herself."
As evening's arrived upon Adam's Landing, at Hell Hill, Beth sits inside the living room, as Leigh tells her Mother In Law "I don't know what to do Beth. X is acting strange, and I've had enough!" Beth shakes her head, and reminds Leigh "He's not seeing anybody, and I know that for fact. I know my Son." Leigh goes "Have you gotten anything out of him? You're his Mother!" Beth snaps "No Leigh! He won't talk to me either! But I won't listen to this rant you're throwing about my Son!" Leigh looks at Beth, and asks "You're cheating on Bobby, and Xavier may be having a mid-life crisis, so think that cheating gene's kicking in.." Beth slaps her Daughter In Law, as Beth warns Leigh "I want to get something straight with you right now Leigh, my Son only had one fling during the years he thought you were dead with Alexandra's Daughter, and that was it. He never changes his feelings, and before you start going crazy, remember that affair with Clayton Hale that you had?" Leigh tells Beth "There's the door. I'm done with this!" Beth warns Leigh "Don't accuse my Son of anything. Get your head together, and get a damn grip on yourself!" Beth leaves, as Leigh shakes her head, as she looks at her wedding ring. At Sully and Jared's Penthouse, Sully arrives, as Jared asks his Wife "So how was your day?" Sully sighs "Hell. And Mom's convinced Daddy's having an affair, and...." Jared kisses his Wife, and asks "Want to have some quiet time since Ruthie's asleep?" Sully smiles, as they head to the bedroom. At Beth and Bobby's home at Whispering Hills, Ava and Winston sits inside, as Bobby warns Ava "Frank's pushing his damn buttons with me, and I am very capable of making him regret it!" Ava yells "I don't give a damn about Frank and Beth's affair, and you should know they are like damn magnets to start with. What about Xavier? What do you know?" Bobby sighs "I know as much as anyone else does. He hasn't told me anything about where he's going." Winston looks at his Wife, and tells Ava "I hope he's plotting something against Angelica. He could be getting ready to do something." Ava looks around, and sighs "I think something more is going on Winston." Outside Beth sits in her car, as she listens to Terrance's message, and calls him, as he's at his Home, and Beth asks "So what's going on with Willie?" Terrance tells Beth "Mama has dementia. She's having flashbacks, and I want you to tell her. It can't come from Aretha or me." Beth tells Terrance "I'll do that Terrance. And keep me updated, and when I get a chance, I'll call you to bring her to meet me." Terrance asks "Xavier's still on the mystery trips?" Beth sighs "Yes, and that's what I want to know most of all." Meanwhile at Monica's Home in Downtown Adam's Landing, Javon walks inside, as Monica, Olivia, and Allan sits on the couch, as Monica and Olivia reminisce on their days as children, and Monica looks at her old friend, and tells Olivia "I think it's time the truth comes out." Javon listens, as his Mother doesn't know he's home, as Allan sits next to his Wife, and Olivia asks "What needs to come out?" Monica takes a deep breath, and reveals to Olivia "I need to tell Javon about his Father." Olivia asks "Is that wise?" Monica sighs "I think so." Javon walks inside, and asks his Mother "And what do I need to know about Walter?" Monica looks at her Son, and reveals "He's not your Father Javon. Terrance Evans is." Javon's jaw drops, as he goes "A gay man is my Dad? Shit! Shit!" Javon runs out, as Monica sighs "Now I have to tell Terrance." Olivia quips "Your timing is still off." Meanwhile at Walter's Mansion, Walter lays in his bed, as he tells an employee "Oh? Millie Windsor's perfect. That'd be icing on the cake for the movie. Sign her, and promote it." Jamie walks inside, as Walter tells his fiancee "Want to celebrate?" Jamie jumps on top of Walter, as he takes off her clothes, as she unbuttons his shirt, as they have sex. Meanwhile at The Farm, Bree, Summer, and Jake sits in the living room, as Bree tells her Uncle "Mom's playing with the devil, and it's not going to end well." Frank assures his Nieces "Jamie's changed. She's not who she used to be, and none of you will get caught in between whatever's going on with her and Angelica Hale." At The Holiday Motel, in a private Suite, Angelica looks at a man, and hands him a bottle, and responds "I want you to use this. Jamie's going to learn what happens when one defies me. And in return, you will have her Daughter, and I'll have my Grandson, and Jamie will pay up if they matter." Angelica laughs, as she gets a pill bottle out of her purse, and hands it to the man." Back at Hell Hill, Leigh calls her Husband, and the phone goes to voice mail, and Leigh throws the phone across the room, and yells "Damnit X! Are you trying to hurt me? Is this payback?" Meanwhile in a room, at an undisclosed location, Xavier sits, as he looks at someone and tells them "I can't keep hiding this." The other person puts their hand on Xavier's, and responds "Tell your family."

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

Nathan, holding his and Rose's Son, A.J., yells "If I see her, she's dead! Mark those damn words and try to stop me Ms. D.A." Bree looks at Nathan, and tells him "I wouldn't blame you if you did." Bobby chimes in, as he warns Bree "Tell Summer if she comes to my office again, she will regret it." Bree sighs with disgust "I'm not the damn walking telegram! How do all of you think I feel knowing I'm that bitch's Daughter, and the Sister of her twin?" Beth arrives, as she looks around the room, and Allan hugs his Sister, as Beth starts to cry, and Bobby walks over to his Wife, as Beth tells them "I haven't been here since..." Nathan looks at his Aunt, as Olivia holds her Granddaughter, Ginny, and Cale tells everyone "I just hope Jamie doesn't show up." Beth looks at Cale, and assures him "If she does, she'll die!" Bree tells everyone, sensing the hate "I shouldn't be here." Beth yells "Yes you should. My Aunt needs you!" Allison holds Bree, as Bree responds "Why am I here? Tenny Sullivan hated me." Leigh, Gracie, and Xavier Jr arrive, and a few moments later, Sully, Jared, and Ruthie, as Allan tells everyone "Once Aunt Ciarra arrives, we'll settle everything." Beth tells her Brother "I think Nathan should have this Penthouse. Mama adored him, and even Rose." Rose quips "Well thank you for the complement Beth." Allan agrees, as does everyone else, as Nathan tells everyone "Rose and I are happy living in New York. Adam's Landing's not the same." Cale looks at his Brother In Law, and tells him "You and Rose should stay here. Our kids can grow up together, and I know Tenny would want you to stay in her place."

Ciarra tells everyone "Precious didn't want to travel, and he's staying at the ranch now since the accident, so I am leaving town after I leave here." Bree looks at her Grandmother, as she apologizes "I'm sorry for my Mom and Sister Grandma." Ciarra strokes Bree's cheek, and says "Don't apologize for them. You are a good lady, and I'm proud of you.

Allan sighs "I certainly understand, and I think the Sullivan's are splitting apart." Olivia sighs "Well Jamie doesn't help anything, and Ciarra and Floyd's been gone since.." Allan hugs his Wife, as he tells Olivia "Aunt Ciarra's coming back to town and we're meeting later. I'm going to try and bring the family together. Nathan, Rose, Cale, Allison, Bree are coming, but I'm not sure about Summer." Olivia advises "She's on the Jackson shit list right now, so it'd likely be best if she didn't show up at all." Allan agrees, as he asks his Wife "Think you're not too busy for a short date?" Olivia smiles, as she hugs her Husband and quips "You hopeless romantic. We got it good." Meanwhile Terrance has walked out of the meeting room, as he walks down the hall, and sees someone at the nurse's desk, as Terrance tells the person "Well what a surprise." Monica Dubois, Ex-Wife of Walter DuBois, asks her old friend "So have you seen that video of.." Terrance tells his friend "Look, move on from Walter and Jamie. Jamie's playing him, and we both know that." Monica snarks "Well it works both ways. He's been like that for years." Terrance asks Monica "Care to go talk? I need to talk to you." Monica nods, as they head to Terrance's office. Once inside, Terrance looks at Monica, as she tells Terrance "My Son's working for Jackson Inc. I know how Xavier Jackson works." Terrance assures Monica "And after all you've told me regarding Javon, I don't think you have to worry about him getting harmed. Xavier's a fair man. But he's stepping down, so we'll see how it goes with his successor." Monica asks "And who might that be?" Terrance answers "Sully Jackson Hale, his Daughter. She's a lot like her Father, and Beth." Monica quips "I'd say the man's smart too." Terrance nods in agreement.
As afternoon's come, at The Farm, Beth picks up Faye, as Frank walks inside Faye's nursery, and tells Beth "So when are you going to tell Bobby? Jamie knows about us." Beth looks at Frank's Daughter, and responds "And Jamie can go where Casey Ryan went too. When I look at this baby, I can't help but remember our little girl." Frank sighs "Beth, after all I've done to you, why are you willing to help me?" Beth hands Faye to Frank, as she takes a deep breath, and responds in a sad tone "I made a promise to Ruth, and B.R., and that's exactly what I intend to do." Frank looks at Beth's phone, and tells Beth "I see Allan's called, and your Aunt." Beth looks at Frank, and says with her voice trembling "I'm not ready Frank." Frank looks at Beth, and tells her "It's time." Beth hugs Frank, as she kisses Faye, and walks out, with doubt in her eyes, as Frank watches Beth leave, with love in his eyes. At Jackson Inc, Sully arrives, as Xavier greets his Daughter with a hug, and Sully tells her Father, as they head to his office "So I talked to Mom, and she told me to accept." Xavier smiles, as he tells his Daughter "I'm honored you took it Princess. And look at that bump." Sully quips "Well Daddy, Ruthie's already wanting a brother or sister." Xavier responds "Doesn't matter to me as long as it's healthy, and you as well." Sully asks her Father "So what's made you decide to step away Daddy?" Xavier looks up, and looks at Sully, and tells her in a soft tone "Time to tend to my family. Live for the day." Sully asks "Are you plotting?" Xavier responds "No. Never." Sully tells her Father "I'm glad Aunt Ava will be here to help. I'll have a hard time getting adjusted to running the family business, and overseeing Class." Xavier reminds Sully "With your ideas, everything will work. Just remember who's the enemy, and make sure you can read through people's words." Sully quips "I think I got that down pat." Xavier smiles "And that's why you'll be successful at this desk." In Ava's office, Ava sits inside, as Javon DuBois walks inside, and Ava asks Javon "Got some dirt?" Javon tells Ava "I don't talk to Walter anymore." Ava reminds Javon "Maybe it's time to pretend you give a damn about him. See, he's close to a whore.." Javon sighs "Jamie Marx." Ava quips "Exactly. And she'll soon be your Step-Mother, and she's hellbent on destroying my family. Your job included. And would Walter ever give you a chance like Xavier and I have here at Jackson Inc for you?" Javon shakes his head, and asks "What do I need to do?" Ava hands Javon a list, and responds "Follow them exact. And you will answer to me!"
Meanwhile at The Exposer, Aretha sits in her office, as she reads the gossip columns, as Rashad walks inside, and Aretha hugs her Son, and tells him "So champ, how's everything with my baby boy? Did Little Sidney enjoy his first day of school?" Rashad nods "He did Mom. FJR's got everything in place for next year, and Grandma took Little Sidney to Little Italy for Pizza." Aretha asks Rashad "Have you noticed anything different with my Mama lately?" Rashad asks "Like?" Aretha tells her Son "Uncle Clem told me the other day he beat her at 21, and Mama responded that she gave him the win." Rashad looks around, and replies "That's not Grandma." Aretha nods "And she almost called your Son Terrance the other day." Rashad reminds his Mother "With everything that's happened recently, she hasn't been herself." Aretha looks at her Son, as she tells him "Terrance's noticing too. And I'd advise you not to leave my Grandson with my Mama without me there, or Uncle Clem when he's around." Rashad asks "Couldn't you be overreacting?" Aretha bluntly responds "I know my Mama!" At Little Italy, Willie and Rashad's Son, Little Sidney sits at a table, enjoying pizza, as Terrance joins them, as Willie looks at her Son, and responds "When did you decide to dress up?" Little Sidney laughs, as Terrance looks at his Mother, and reminds her "I'm the CEO of City Hospital Mama." Willie quips "I was kidding. Sit down and have lunch with us." Terrance sits down at the table, as he looks around, and asks his Mother "Did you think I was Daddy?" Willie responds "You do look like him." Terrance notices an arcade machine, and hands Little Sidney a few dollars, and tells his Great-Nephew "Go win your MaMaw a prize." Little Sidney runs to the machine, as Willie warns her Son "Don't start Terrance. Don't you dare start with me!" Terrance tells his Mother with concern "I know what's going on Mama. This isn't the only time you've mistook me for Daddy. I want you to be checked out soon." Willie snaps "Ain't a damn thing wrong with me boy!" Terrance grabs his Mother's hand, and holds it, and gently responds "Mama, you're slipping. Uncle Clem's even noticed." Willie snaps "He's always been a sore loser." Terrance sighs "Tomorrow I want to see you at the Hospital, and you'll be there." Willie yells for her Great-Grandson, and snaps at her Son "You and Aretha needs to stay the hell off my damn back! I'm moving! I'm healthy! Quit being a damn Doctor all the time!" Willie and Little Sidney leaves, as the waitress walks over, and responds "She didn't pay." Terrance hands the waitress his credit card, and tells the waitress "Keep the change."
Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Leigh walks inside with Gracie and Xavier Jr, as someone stands in the living room and sighs "Oh this will rightfully be mine." Leigh tells her children "Go upstairs." Gracie and Xavier Jr runs upstairs, as Jamie turns towards Leigh, and asks "And where's my Brother?" Leigh looks at Jamie, and bluntly tells her Sister In Law "He's at work Jamie. A better question's who in the hell let you on the property." Jamie quips "My girls always turn the guards on." Leigh quips "And you and your silicon girls needs to leave before X returns home! Silicon and the Storm Shelter don't mesh well in winter." Jamie walks around, and asks "So I hear there's some kind of get together?" Leigh nods, and responds "And you're not welcomed!" Jamie sighs "Oh well, that's too bad. My poor Mommy won't have any support from her last surviving child." Leigh looks at Jamie with disgust, and snaps "You already hurt Ciarra enough, and if Beth were to walk through those doors and see you.." Jamie asks "And do you know where she's been sleeping Leigh? And all of you call me a whore. That bitch's sleeping with the only member of this damn family with brains!" The door opens, as Beth walks inside, and sees Jamie, and quietly snarls "I just heard that. And I've never hired a man to rape my Sister to get her Husband either." Jamie yells "I will tell Bobby about this! Hell I'll even sleep with him Beth. Maybe I have?" Beth quips "Please bitch. He knows I'm helping Frank, and has no problem with it." Leigh watches the exchange, as Jamie asks "Does Bobby know the two of you had sex? Not once, but twice?" Beth asks Jamie "And how long do you want to breathe? Care to visit Ava? I hear she bought a new lighter. I may buy one myself." Jamie snaps as she walks towards the door "I'm about to destroy this family! Watch me! All of you will fear me for once!" Jamie leaves, as Leigh asks her Mother In Law "Are you having an affair?" Beth looks at Leigh, and tells her "Where's Xavier?" Leigh tells Beth "He should be here." Beth sighs "I'm not ready to go over there." Leigh yells for Gracie and Xavier Jr, as they run towards their Grandmother, and Leigh gets a text, with doubt in her eyes, and tells Beth "X isn't going. He's got to leave town for business." Beth sighs "I could use him right now." Leigh assures her "You'll have the family, and Bobby." Beth hugs Leigh, as they all head out.

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

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

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

Leigh, Gracie, and Xavier Jr arrive, and a few moments later, Sully, Jared, and Ruthie, as Allan tells everyone "Once Aunt Ciarra arrives, we'll settle everything."

Ciarra tells everyone "Precious didn't want to travel, and he's staying at the ranch now since the accident, so I am leaving town after I leave here." Bree looks at her Grandmother, as she apologizes "I'm sorry for my Mom and Sister Grandma." Ciarra strokes Bree's cheek, and says "Don't apologize for them. You are a good lady, and I'm proud of you.

Walter yells back "If you accepted my decisions Javon, then I'd give a damn!" Monica slaps Walter, and snaps "Don't ever talk to our Son like that again in my presence.
