A week's passed, and it's nighttime at Hell Hill, Millie sleeps on the couch as she dreams (Flashback, Millie's in Walter DuBois' Los Angeles office, as she asks "Why did you want to see me?" Walter looks at Millie, and smiles "I just wanted to meet you. Seen you with Javon, and since you're playing in my film, well, thought we could connect." The lights dim, as music begins to play, and Walter walks over to Millie, and strokes her hair, and whispers "I have to say, you are damn sexy Millie Paige. You turn me on...) Millie screams in her sleep "Get the hell off of me! Leave me alone Walter!" Unknown to Millie, Xavier stands behind the couch, as he listens to his Daughter, and heads upstairs to bed, as he thinks to himself.
The next day's arrived, and at Hell Hill, Ciarra cooks breakfast, as Millie walks into the kitchen, and Ciarra tells her Great-Niece "Hope you enjoy pancakes and homemade orange juice. I know Xavier won't be able to." Millie tells her Great Aunt "I've heard from Dad, Grandma, and Sully about your world famous skills in the kitchen." Ciarra smiles, as Millie asks "So has Sully came by yet?" Ciarra responds "Beth took Gracie and Xavier Jr to school today, and Sully's at work, or I hope she is." Millie goes "Leigh?" Ciarra rolls her eyes, and tells her with sadness "When Xavier thought she had died, he was scarred. He's always been there for her, and with everything going on, she's not even here. I don't understand her, but if I see her, I'll likely deliver a blistering slap to her face and ask what in the hell's wrong with her?" Millie asks "Is Dad in his study?" Ciarra goes "He left this morning. I have no clue as to where. He was gone when I woke." Millie is silent, as she sighs "I have a feeling I know where he is." At Jackson Inc, Javon walks inside his office, as Xavier sits, and Javon responds "Xavier. Good to see you moving around." Xavier thanks Javon, and sighs "Cancer's giving me a challenge, but it can't hold me down. But that's not why I'm here." Javon grows silent, as he asks "So what's up?" Xavier tells him "I know you and Millie are seeing each other, and had a fling in L.A.." Javon nods, as he grows nervous, which Xavier notices, as he asks "Why are you shaking?" Javon sighs in a scared tone "You know don't you?" Xavier asks "Know what Javon? I heard Millie dreaming last night." Javon is silent, as he takes a deep breath, and tells Xavier "She didn't want you to worry about her with all that's going on right now." Xavier responds "I knew something was wrong when I saw her in L.A. What did DuBois do to my Daughter?" Javon responds in a tone of fear "Millie will kill me if I tell you." Xavier laughs "From what I overheard, I might kill DuBois." Javon looks up for a second, and responds "You know the man I thought was my Dad has a nasty reputation." Xavier nods, as Javon continues "Well he forced himself on Millie, and.." Xavier shakes his head, and tells Javon "Don't mention our discussion to anyone. I know you hate him just as much as I do, if not more, and I will talk to Millie about this." Javon asks Xavier "What's your plan?" Xavier heads to the door, and tells him "Just keep your phone by your side. It's time you get your revenge, as does Millie. I'd do it if the marijuana wasn't mellowing me out." Xavier leaves, as Javon says to himself, as he pulls out his pistol "Long time coming you bastard."
At Beth and Bobby's Home at Whispering Hills, Bobby sits inside the living room, as Beth returns, and asks her Husband "Why haven't you went to the office yet Bobby?" Bobby tells his Wife "I'm waiting for a visitor." Beth asks "Who?" Bobby asks "Don't you need to head over to check on Xavier?" Beth nods, but asks "Who's on their way over Bobby?" Bobby tells Beth "I've had a P.I following Leigh, also known as Erica Woods." Beth rolls her eyes, and she snarls "I don't know what in the hell her problem is, and if I see her, I'm kicking her ass. I know what she told Ruthie, and I don't give a damn what's going on with her. Xavier needs his Wife, and her children needs her!" Bobby tells Beth "Ever thought she could have dissociative identity disorder?" Beth is quiet, as she snarks "Sounds like she needs a padded room." Bobby tells Beth "Well Erica apparently thinks she's young, and she's on the prowl. She's been spotted with Country a few times, and..." Beth glares, as she goes "Country? What's this bitch thinking? Xavier's always been there for Leigh, and he's fighting for his life, and she abandons him. I'm about to set her ass straight. Straight down to the Psychiatric Ward of City Hospital!" Beth storms out, as Bobby rolls his eyes, and says to himself with a look of dread "If I'd told Boss what I knew, she'd kill her." Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Bree walks into the living room, as a naked Leigh sits on the couch, and asks "And who are you?" Bree gasps "Leigh?" Leigh snaps "No! The damn name is Erica bitch! I'm damn tired of people calling me that. Where's that stud?" Bree asks "What stud? Xavier?" "Erica" screams "NO! Damnit I'm single!" Bree calmly responds "You are married, and I'm heading to the ALPD. You are making my Mom look like a saint right now with your actions." "Erica" laughs "She wrote a great book. Leigh's dull, I'm more exciting." Country walks downstairs, in a robe, as Bree looks at her Father, and then at Leigh, as she asks "Did she stay here last night?" Country looks down, as Bree tells Country in a stern, forceful tone "I called you here to help me find my Sister, and you had sex with Leigh.." "Erica" yells "My damn name is Erica you stuck up snob!" Country's eyes roll with defeat, as Bree asks Country "So, did you have sex with Leigh?" Country nods with fear, as Bree yells at Leigh "Put on your damn clothes Erica, and take your ass out of my house." Bree turns to her Father, and sighs with disgust "You make me sick, and pack your bags, and go back to the woods." "Erica" quips "My last name." Bree quips "And in the woods of Hell Hill sits a Storm Shelter. You may end up there the rate you're going!" Bree looks at her Father, and tells him "When I return home tonight, be gone, and don't come back you selfish bastard." Bree slams the door, as Country turns to Leigh, and in a remorseful tone, tells her "You may have just signed my death certificate."
At HaleCorp, Jared and Sully arrive, as Winston, Ava, and Frank sits inside Jared's office, as Winston tells his Grandson "We need to discuss something." Jared asks "What's going on?" Winston tells his Grandson "The real way to save Summer and Jake will be sending a Hale into battle, and you are our strongest Hale." Jared is stunned, as Sully's eyes grow red, and Ava tells her Niece "Angelica won't hurt us. Not with what we have in mind." Sully looks at her Husband, and tells him "Jared, stay away from that evil witch. Our Daughter will not be around her. I mean it. Think before accepting." Jared shakes his head, and tells his Grandfather "How about you?" Ava turns to Winston, and tells her Husband "Pretend we have marital problems." Sully looks at everyone, and boldly responds "My Husband will not put my Daughter at risk by participating in this attempt to kill Angelica. I want her dead like all of you, and I hope Summer and Jake are found soon, but my Husband will stay out of it." Frank tells everyone "Well Cale and Colt's watching the Santiago Manor right now, and they've kept me informed on things." Sully responds "Really, my main concern right now's my Daddy, and whether he lives or dies. My Mom who's went damn crazy. My pregnancy." Ava tells her Niece "I understand your reasons. I think Frank's onto something anyway." Winston sighs "It'd be good to have a Hale I can trust within the bitch's circle." Sully responds in a bold tone "It won't be my Husband!" Frank's phone rings, as it's Cale, who sits in his truck, outside the Santiago Manor "Angelica's leaving. Colt's on his way, and we're breaking inside." Frank tells his Son "Ok. Be careful." Frank hangs up, as Ava asks her Brother "Breakout?" Frank nods, as everyone agrees on the choice.
Meanwhile at Walter's Mansion, Jamie sits downstairs, as Walter walks into the living room, and kisses Jamie, and tells her "I hope everything goes well today. I'm going to L.A. to check the film set." Jamie tells him "Remember what I said." Walter responds "I'm staying out of it." Jamie yells "You are already in it! I know the truth, and one thing I can say for Ava is that if she didn't give a damn about Summer or Jake, she wouldn't have reached out to me like she did." Walter yells angrily "Then just believe those psychos Jamie! I have money to make!" Walter slams the door, as he leaves, and Jamie gets her phone, as she calls Shannon Issac, who's at The Sunset Club, and tells her "We'll head to the clinic to get you ready to carry Walter and I's child." Shannon, sitting on the edge of the bed in her suite, sighs "I don't know Jamie." Jamie responds in a calm tone "I know what I'm doing. There will be no child from me." Shannon asks "Then why am I here?" Jamie responds "I know one thing I want you to do for me." Shannon, asks "And what would that be?" Jamie laughs, as she tells Shannon "Sleep with Jared Hale, or I won't help you out of your mess." Shannon hangs up, as Jamie sits back with a look of confidence in her eyes.
At The Evans Home, Willie, Sayyid, Aretha, and Willie and Sayyid's Youngest Sister, Thelma Ross, sits in the living room, as Willie asks Thelma "So when are you going to stop working the streets?" Thelma looks at her Brother, and Niece, as Sayyid sighs "She has flashbacks often." Thelma looks at her family, as she walks outside, and Aretha follows her Aunt, as Thelma stands on the porch, and lights a cigarette, and tells her Niece, with her body trembling "It's so hard for me to see Willie like this. She's the one who held us all together." Aretha hugs her Aunt, and tells her "Terrance offered to give Mom some medicine to slow the dementia before the day arrives. But Mama declined. Never did like medicine." Thelma sighs, looking at the door "My Sister's always been fiery When I was a kid, she was tough on Clem and me. We fell out for years and years, but luckily we've been able to talk occasionally." Aretha asks her Aunt "What did the two have a falling out over Aunt Thelma?" Sayyid tells his Niece "Let's leave that where it is, in the past." Aretha sighs with fear "I have a feeling I'll find out before it's over with. Mama's been on edge since you've arrived in town Aunt Thelma." Aretha walks inside, as does Sayyid, as Willie yells at the top of her lungs "So that bitch been bragging about being a home-wrecking whore?" Aretha tells her Mother "Aunt Thelma's not a whore Mama." Willie looks at her Daughter, and warns her "You didn't see what I saw. Her all over your Daddy. When Sidney gets home from the racetrack, we're fighting. And tell that slut outside I said she could leave, I don't want her around!" Willie heads to her bedroom, as Sayyid looks at Aretha, as he tells his Niece "How many weeks do we have before everything happens?" Aretha tells him, and Thelma walks inside, and tells her Brother and Niece, with a tone of defeat "I'm heading back home today. I need to just accept Willie will always hold some hate for me, and she deserves to. I stabbed her in the back, and 50 years later, she still resents me."
Meanwhile at Tenny's Former Penthouse, Allan arrives, as Nathan and Rose sits in the living room, and Allan asks "Where's A.J.?" Rose tells her Father In Law "He's taking his nap." Nathan asks his Father "Where's Olivia and Allison?" Allan tells his Son "Olivia's at City Hospital, and Allison's got her hands full with Ginny and Faye." Nathan tells his Father "Well Rose and I have been thinking about this for some time, and we're leaving Adam's Landing. We're returning to New York City." Allan looks at his Son, and tells him in a sad tone "Damn. I hate to hear this. Why do you want to leave?" Nathan looks around the Penthouse, and responds in a distant tone "Not the same. Not without Grandma. When Rose and I were in New York last week, we felt so good, and it's now home for us. Here it's empty, and any moment I expect Grandma to walk out of her bedroom, or through the doors, but never happens." Allan looks at his Son, and tells him somberly "I know Nathan. And if New York's home, then that's where you need to be. What about Nationwide Records?" Nathan reminds him "I'm moving headquarters, but keeping an office here, and we'll come back and visit, but it's time for a new start." Allan sighs "Good thing I didn't bring Olivia with me. This will sadden her." Rose tells Allan "Tenny was like the Mom I never had, and Adam's Landing doesn't feel the same." Allan responds "Mama wouldn't want the two of you to do something because of her. She'd want you to do what's best, and to follow your instincts." Nathan asks "Dad are you alright with this?" Allan tells his Son "I'll miss seeing you every day, and A.J., but you're only a plane flight away, and I'll come visit often. We've got that album to promote." Nathan smiles with pride, as he hugs his Father, and tells him "Yes we do Dad." Rose asks "What should we do with Tenny's old place?" Allan tells Rose "Since it's basically the same as Mama had it, we'll likely just keep it as is, and if Beth, or Ciarra wants to live here, then they'll be welcome to do so. Millie may want a place of her own." Nathan responds "I like that idea."
As afternoon arrives, at Hell Hill, there's a knock at the door, as Ciarra answers and Olivia stands on the other side, as she asks "Where's Beth?" Ciarra welcomes Olivia inside, as they hug, and Ciarra tells Olivia "She hasn't been here yet, and Xavier's not here." Olivia quips "Sounds like he's feeling better." Ciarra looks at Olivia, and sighs with concern "I think everything going on has both of them worried, and that's not good for either of them." Olivia pulls out an envelope, and tells Ciarra "I have the scans back from the other day, to show Beth. Her car wasn't in front of their house either." Ciarra shakes her head, and pulls out her phone, as she calls her Niece, but to no answer, as Xavier walks inside, and Olivia tells Xavier "I have the scans." Xavier tells Olivia "And what did they show?" Olivia tells him "The fog cleared up due to the radiation you had in Blue Ridge, and it seems to have worked, but with the alternative therapy, that will restore your immune system, and as a doctor, I'd advise you to stay out of this cold weather." Ciarra asks her Great-Nephew "And where exactly did you go Xavier?" Xavier tells his Great-Aunt "To the office. Now I'm heading to my study. Where's Millie?" Ciarra tells him "She got a phone call earlier, and left." Xavier nods, as he tells Olivia "I like this therapy much better than the radiation and chemo. I really felt like I was walking dead man taking that shit." Olivia tells him "If this was legal, more lives would be saved." Xavier agrees, and responds "Once I recover, I plan to use my money to legalize it, at least in this state." Ciarra tells her Great Nephew "Good luck Xavier. Isn't Russell Marx now Governor?" Xavier grins, as he responds "And I paid his way into office." Xavier heads to his study, as Olivia tells Ciarra "I'm going back to the hospital, I'll leave this here for Beth." Ciarra tells Olivia, as she leaves "I'll tell her you came by when I see her." Meanwhile at the ALPD, Beth arrives, as Bree's called, and Bree tells Beth of what occurred between Country and Leigh, as Bree tells Beth "I can't believe Leigh would do something like this Aunt Beth." Beth, with anger in her eyes, tells Bree "She's crazy, and Leigh, Erica, the runway slut, whatever she's calling herself, well you leave her to me." Bree tells Beth "I told Country to leave town, and not come back." Beth goes "Good. Because if Xavier finds out about this, and I imagine he will, he'll be dead." Beth storms out, as she mumbles "Went too far Leigh. Too damn far."
At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her office, as Ava sits with her Niece, as Sully asks her Aunt "Why in the hell would you and Winston, and Frank think of putting Jared into the line of fire?" Ava tells her "Sully, we have to fight Angelica with blood, and Jared is her Grandson, and when the word "family" is heard, Angelica responds if they kiss her ass. We wanted to bait her." Sully tells her Aunt "I think Frank's idea will work." Ava sighs with doubt "I hope so too." At HaleCorp, Jared and Winston sits inside Jared's office, as Jared tells his Grandfather "I never want to see that old bitch again, and believe when I see her, she's dead." Winston tells his Grandson "I want Angelica dead once and for all. However I am unsure if Frank's idea will work." At The Farm, Frank sits in the living room, looking at his phone, as he looks at a picture of his Mother, and tells her "Mama, watch over my Son, and Summer and Jake." At The Santiago Manor, Cale and Colt are inside, as they walk around and Cale tells Colt, as he looks around "Feels like we've walked into hell." Colt quips "No shit. This looks like a haunted house." Cale hears keys, as he tells Colt "Sounds like Angelica's returned." Another voice is heard, as Cale and Colt hides in a corner, as Angelica walks up the stairs, and walks inside a room, as Cale watches intently, as he stays hidden, as Summer's voice is heard, and Cale tells Colt "I don't hear Jake." Colt pulls out his pistol, and tells Cale "Let's go." Cale and Colt rush into the room, guns in hand, and safety off, as Cale yells at Angelica "Ok game over!" Summer's eyes fill with hope, as Angelica asks Cale and Colt "How in the two of you enter my home?" Colt asks Angelica "The question is, how you want to do this?" Angelica looks at Summer, and tells Cale and Colt "Summer's welcome to go, but Jake's going nowhere." Cale and Colt aims their pistols at Angelica, as she pulls out her phone, and sends a text, as she sighs "For once, I've lost." Angelica pulls out a set of keys, as she unlocks the chain from Summer's leg, as Cale and Colt rush at Angelica, as three men enter the room, and three shots are fired, as Summer ducks, as Angelica gets away from Cale and Colt, as Colt falls to the floor, and Angelica pulls out her pistol, and looks at Colt, as he holds his arm "Well, looks like somebody won't be able to do their day job. The Jackson family must have lost a step, picking two novices to take me on." Colt screams in pain "Novice my damn ass!" Colt fires a shot, instantly killing one of Angelica's guards, as Summer grabs the guard's pistol, and shrieks at Angelica, as she aims the pistol at her "Now lead me to my damn Son!" Angelica asks "What if I said I don't know where he is." Summer screams "BULLSHIT! I want my Son the hell away from you!" Cale responds, with his pistol aimed at the two guards "Now it's our move. Take us to Jake." Angelica laughs in an evil tone "If I take you to him, you kill him. It'd be a sad thing to have on your conscience now wouldn't it Summer? Summer pulls the trigger, as she shoots another guard, as gunfire fills the bedroom Summer's been held in, as both guards fall to their death, and Cale holds his stomach, as he falls to the floor, as Angelica laughs, as she looks at Summer, and pulls her pistol out, and responds "You picked the wrong one to fight you little whore." Cale holds his stomach, as he's been shot, and Colt, shot in his shoulder, yells "We need to go to the Hospital!" Angelica snaps at Cale, Colt, and Summer "Not the hospital. A ditch! And twos are better than one!" Angelica turns the safety off, as Summer jumps her, and sticks the pistol into her mouth, and with an angry look, goes "Ok bitch! Now we get my Son, or else I will kill you!" Angelica looks around the room, as Summer aims the pistol to Angelica's back, as Colt checks on Cale, as Colt calls 911.
At Class, Leigh walks inside, as she walks inside her office, with a smile, as she says to herself "That was nice. Such a real man." Leigh walks inside, as Beth sits at her desk, and coldly responds "Hello Leigh." Leigh responds "My damn name is Erica! And who are you?" Beth gets up, as she sighs "Well Leigh, Erica, whatever you are, in my book you are a whore." Leigh snaps "You have no right to judge me woman. I read an article where you were cheating on that asshole mayor." Beth shakes her head, and sighs with disgust "Ever since Xavier's gotten sick, you have been a pain in our family's ass Leigh." Leigh yells "What family? I am Erica Woods!" Beth shrieks "Shut up you whore!" Beth snarls fiercely "Whenever you've had trouble, my Son, me, your kids, have always been there for you, and when Xavier faces the biggest challenge in his life, you go crazy. You turn into someone else, and then, then you turn around and do the unforgivable." Leigh snarks "See a ring on my finger Dr.Jackson? No. I'm not married, have no children, I hate them." Beth sits down, and responds "Now to that. You told a little girl you hated her. Your own Granddaughter." Leigh asks Beth "Who are you talking to about Grandchildren? I have none. I'm only 21." Beth laughs "Add around 30 more to that Erica. I know you have DID, and you're going to get help." Leigh walks to the door, and responds to Beth "Nothing is wrong with me, and thank you for accepting I'm not this woman named Leigh, as everyone likes to think." Beth follows Leigh out, as Leigh walks onto the sales floor, as Bobby awaits, and tells Leigh "There's an ambulance here to take you to City Hospital." Beth tells her Husband "Good work. Your limo's waiting Leigh." Leigh sighs with frustration "Give up. I'm going to find that sexy man called Country now." Beth grabs Leigh, and warns her "If you don't get into that ambulance, I'll make damn sure you lose everything. I regret ever finding you. I should have just left you in SOUTHPOINT BEACH! With that Doctor who wanted you so bad." Leigh's eyes begins to change, as Beth goes "Remembering something?" Leigh slaps Beth, as Beth returns with a punch into her Daughter In Law's face, and snaps "The ambulance, or I'm kicking your ass!" Leigh snaps "Go to hell whore." Leigh struts out, as Beth screams, and Bobby tells his Wife "Boss, you'll have to take a different approach with her." Beth tells her Husband "I'm going to check on my Son, and you get a restraining order on that whore." Beth leaves, as Bobby gets a phone call, and his jaw drops, as he responds "I'm on my way."
Meanwhile at Chantel's, Millie sits with Javon, at the bar, as Millie knows about Javon and Xavier's meeting, and Millie asks Javon "I thought I said not to tell him?" Javon holds Millie's hand, and tells her "He's your Dad Millie, and he loves you. He wants Walter dead." Millie shakes her head, as she sighs with disgust "You betrayed my trust." Javon pleads "It's time he pays Millie." Alexandra walks over, as she's overheard her Granddaughter, and asks Millie "What's wrong sweetie?" Millie tells her Grandmother "Nothing Grandmum. Nothing to worry about." Javon tells Millie "If you don't say something, I'll say something." Alexandra asks "Is this about that dream you've had that wakes you up scared Millie?" Millie takes a deep breath, as Javon tells Alexandra "Mrs.Boyd, Millie was raped by Walter when she was in L.A." Alexandra looks at her Granddaughter with empathy, as she asks "Why didn't you say something to me or your family?" Millie tells her Grandmother, with tears starting to fall "I didn't want everyone concerned. I seen a therapist, and had an abortion, and forgot about it." Javon tells Millie "The way it sounds you haven't." Millie gets up, and yells "I have! And now I'm going to check on my Dad. I hope to God that he's not going after him." Millie storms out, as Alexandra shakes her head with disbelief, as she asks Javon "And how exactly do you know my only surviving Granddaughter?" Javon tells her "We dated, and I'm in love with her." Alexandra looks at Javon, and responds "Stay away from her." Alexandra leaves, as Javon thinks for a moment, and has a flashback to a conversation with Terrance at The Sunset Club the day before (At the bar, Terrance and Javon talk, and Javon tells his Father "I'm in love with Millie Windsor." Terrance tells his Son "She's a good kid. Now let me pass some knowledge to you. She's white, you are black, and be careful." Javon asks "Why?" Terrance responds "Although times are changing, some people never do. Remember we're in the South, and there will be people who will judge merely because you are a black man.") Javon is silent, as he asks "What is wrong with some people?"
At Walter's Mansion, Shannon arrives, as Jamie yells "Ever heard of calling or texting first?" Shannon tells Jamie "Look, I've thought about this offer, and I don't want to be a part of your scheme." Jamie picks up her phone, and sighs "Well looks like I have to call that old bitch that gave birth to me." Shannon snaps fiercely "Don't you talk about my Grandma like that! Ciarra Sullivan's the kindest lady I know, and what I'd be doing would only hurt her more than she's already been hurt." Jamie walks over to Shannon, and tells her "Ciarra was a slut who slept with my Daddy, and gave me to the woman who raised me, and hated me with all she had, only to save herself. She's selfish, and I have no regrets with exposing her ass, and my entire family!" Shannon yells at Jamie "Well Jamie, I'll face my demon on my own, and I don't need your damn help!" Shannon storms out, and slams the door, as Jamie picks up the phone, and looks for Ciarra's number, as she calls her Birth Mother, as she sits in the kitchen at Hell Hill, and looks at the phone, and answers with a tone of dread "Jamie?" Jamie snarks to Ciarra "Hello dear Mother who gave me away, just wanted you to know Shannon was in town. May want to tell my Uncle Floyd and cousin Maria out there in Texas." Ciarra asks Jamie "Why was Shannon with you?" Jamie responds "She needed someone to mentor her, and I was happy to help her become a stripper..." Ciarra gasps, and goes "Stripper?" Jamie adds "And she was going to help me get Jackson Inc since Xavier's world and everyone else's are so messed up." Ciarra snaps at her Daughter "The thing you need to do is think of your children, and save Summer and Jake! And by the way, don't call me again, and stay the hell away from my family Jamie! You are the worst excuse for a human being I've ever known!" Ciarra hangs up, as Jamie sighs "Well, looks like I'll just have to do the work." Jamie looks at a photo of Walter, and sighs "You're gone out to L.A., and now I'm about to take back Jackson Inc." Jamie heads to the door, as Javon has a pistol, and looks at Jamie, and asks "Where's Walter?" Jamie responds "He left town." Javon tells Jamie "If he were smart, he'll stay there, or drown in the damn ocean!" Javon leaves, as Jamie shakes her head, and sighs "Poor kid's mind being poisoned by Ava and Xavier and all those whack-jobs."
Back at The Evans Home, Rashad returns with Little Sidney, as Aretha sits outside, and Rashad asks his Mother "How's everything?" Aretha tells her Son "Aunt Thelma left a few minutes ago. Mama's having a bad day today, so maybe it might be wise if you take Little Sidney, and stay in my private Suite in The Sunset Club. He doesn't need to be around here right now." Rashad agrees, as Aretha pulls out her keycard, and hands it to Rashad. Inside, Willie yells at Sayyid "Damn whore's been screwing my Husband Clem! If she wasn't related to me, I'd kill her!" Rashad walks inside, as Willie yells "Sidney, I thought you were staying at that motel outside town." Rashad is taken back, as rage fills Willie's eyes, and Willie picks up a picture frame, and throws it at her Grandson, as he backs towards the door, and Sayyid tells his Great-Nephew "I'll bring Little Sidney some toys later." Rashad walks out, as Aretha asks "Did she mistake you for your Grandpa again?" Rashad starts to cry, as Aretha hugs her Son, and Grandson, and assures both of them "It won't be long until she's free from her hell." Rashad sighs with sadness "This breaks my heart Mom." Aretha gets emotional, as she responds with sadness "It does me as well baby boy." Rashad and Little Sidney leave, as Aretha walks inside, and Willie yells at her Daughter "Thelma I thought I told you to take your ass on down the damn road you whore!" Aretha looks at her Uncle, as Sayyid asks "Have you called Terrance?" Aretha nods, and sighs "He hasn't answered his phone today." Willie walks into the kitchen, as she grabs a knife, and yells "You're about to learn what happens when you sleep with my Husband tramp!" Sayyid tells Aretha "Let me deal with her." Aretha walks outside, as Sayyid stops Willie, as she yells "Where is she?" Sayyid answers "Willie, that's your Daughter." Willie tells her Brother "No she isn't!" Sayyid tells Willie "Come back Willie, and hand me that knife before you kill somebody." Willie comes to, and hands the knife to Sayyid, as she sighs "I'm ready." Sayyid hugs his Sister, as Willie cries in his arms.
Meanwhile at City Hospital, inside Terrance's office, the lights are off, as candlelight lights the room, as Terrance and Monica has a glass of wine, and look into each others eyes, as Terrance's phone rings, and Terrance tells Monica "This is the ER. No more rendezvous." Monica sighs "Damn Dr.Evans. I was going to let you exam me." Terrance sighs "Well looks like there's been some violence, so I need to get down to the ER." Monica tells Terrance "This was nice, us here together." Terrance responds "It was. I am beginning to think I haven't ever gotten over you." Monica blushes, as Terrance runs out, as Monica watches Terrance with love in her eyes." At The Farm, Frank sits in his living room with Faye, as Allison and Ginny arrives, and Allison looks at her Father In Law with her face trembling, as Frank asks "What's wrong Allison?" Allison tells him "That plan you concocted, it backfired! Cale's been shot!" Frank is shocked, as he asks "How is he?" Allison yells "He may not live Frank!" Frank tells his Daughter In Law "Let's get to the Hospital!" Allison yells at Frank "Well that'd be nice!" Frank asks "What does that supposed to mean?" Allison screams "The damn ambulance can't pick him, or Colt up." Frank screams "Shit!" Frank asks Allison "Want me to go to the Manor?" Allison nods, but warns Frank "I swear on my Grandma Tenny's grave that if my Husband dies, I'll never forgive you for this." Frank responds, as he hurries out "Allison, if something happens to Cale, I won't forgive myself." Frank leaves, as Allison looks at her Daughter, and cries "Your Daddy may not be coming home."
At Hell Hill, Millie returns, as Ciarra tells her Great Niece "Xavier's in the study." Millie walks inside the study, as Beth arrives, and asks her Aunt "Has that bitch been by here?" Ciarra asks "Leigh?" Beth nods, as Ciarra responds "Nope." Beth tells her Aunt, as Xavier and Gracie Jr runs upstairs "If she comes by here, call the ALPD asap. I had this drawn up." Ciarra reads the restraining order, as she takes a deep breath, and tells her Niece "Wise move." Inside Xavier's study, Millie stands at Xavier's desk, as he breathes from the vaporizer, and tells her Father "I heard that you talked to Javon?" Xavier turns around, and tells his Daughter "I did, and I wish you would have told me." Millie tells her Father in a somber tone "I didn't want to concern you with everything that's been going on." Xavier opens his desk, as he tells his Daughter "I'm in no shape to defend my children, but here's something for you to use to do the job." Millie holds her Father's Colt 45, as she asks "Kill him?" Xavier tells Millie "Sometimes, it's the only way to get over things sweetie." Millie hugs her Father, as Xavier tells his Daughter "Never be scared to talk to me about anything. As long as I breathe, I will protect you. You're my Daughter." Millie cries in her Father's arms, as Xavier holds Millie tightly. At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her office, as Ruthie sits inside with her Mother, as Ruthie tells her Mother "I want to be like you when I grow up Mommy." Sully smiles, and kisses Ruthie on the forehead, as the office door opens, and Leigh walks inside, and yells at her Daughter "Look bitch, you and your family needs to get off my damn back! I don't know any of you, and don't want to!" Sully walks up to her Mother, as she goes in a dark tone "Erica?" Leigh responds "You got it right." Sully bends her hand into a fist, and punches her Mother in the face, and whispers "You need some damn help Mom! And you need to get your shit together, before everyone who gives a damn about you walks out!" Back at Hell Hill, Beth's on the phone, as she tells the person on the other line "Leigh needs help, and if you come to town, maybe that will help her. She's not well at all." The person on the other line responds "I'm on my way."
At the Santiago Manor, Bobby, Ava, Winston, Jared, and Bree stands outside, along with the ALPD, as Bree tells them "I'm about to go in there!" Winston stops Bree, and tells her "She'd kill you if you did that!" Frank pulls up, as he yells "Where in the hell's my Son?" Ava walks over to her Brother, as she tells Frank "The paramedics stand outside, as Bobby tells Frank "It's not safe to go inside." Bree yells "Yes in the hell it is!" Bree runs inside, and Frank follows his Niece. Inside the room Summer was held in, Cale's going into shock, as Colt tells Cale "Hang on. There's people outside Cale. Hold on!" Cale's eyes begin to roll around, as Colt hears the door opens, and Bree yells "Summer? Cale? Colt?" Colt yells, as downstairs, Bree, Frank, and the paramedics follow Colt's voice, as Frank rushes to his Son's side, as Cale looks at his Father, and tells him "I'd rather been hit at 195 miles an hour than shot." The paramedics tend to Cale and Colt, as Bree tells her Uncle "Go with them, and I'm going to find my Sister and Nephew." The paramedics takes Cale out on a stretcher, as Colt tells them, holding his arm "Just call the old lady and tell her I got another badge, referring to his Wife, Alexandra. Outside, Ava looks at Winston, Jared, and Bobby, and tells them "I'm going inside." Winston asks his Wife "Are you crazy?" Ava winks, and pulls out her pistol, and kisses her Husband, and tells him "I'm about to rid the world of Angelica once and for all." Ava runs inside, as she looks over at her Nephew being brought out of the Manor, as Frank tells Ava with panic in his eyes "I can't lose my Son. Angelica's going to die for this." Ava runs inside, and runs up the stairs, where Bree stands in the hall, with a pistol in her hand, as she hears a cry, and opens the door, as Jake stands in a crib, as he cries, and Bree looks down, as Summer lays unconscious, with a syringe sticking out of her back, as Bree looks at Summer, and immediately falls to her knees, as she looks around the room, and says to herself "Mom, you'll regret this." Ava runs inside, and grabs her Great-Nephew, as horror comes over her face, as Bree looks at her Aunt, with tears in her eyes, as she tells Ava, in a tone of fear "She barely has a pulse." Ava looks around the room, and tells her Niece "Angelica was doing exactly what we'd thought. She had another agenda judging from that hospital bed." The paramedics rush inside, as they tend to Summer, as Bree holds her Nephew, and Ava shakes her head with disbelief. Meanwhile at Walter's Mansion, Jamie sits inside, as the door opens, and Angelica walks inside, and looks at Jamie, with anger in her eyes, as she pulls out a pistol, and tells Jamie "If I fail, so will you, and Walter." Angelica aims the pistol at Jamie, as Jamie freezes.

Daylight And Darkness 2.0: Season 1. Episode 5. Challenges Of Mortality
It's a week later, and at Hell Hill, Xavier sits inside his study, as he reads a book, as Beth walks inside, and asks her Son "How are you?" Xavier looks at his Mother, and sighs "I feel like shit Mother." Beth notices the book, and asks "So you decided to do some research I see?" Xavier responds in pain "Millie brought this over to me, and it's alternative therapies to cancer." Beth smiles "Millie's a smart girl. I read that book too years ago. I have many of them." Xavier asks "Where's my kids?" Beth responds "Sully's taken them to school, and Leigh's went down to Class." Xavier looks at his Mother, as he tells her "I'm scared Mama." Beth puts her hands on her Son's shoulders, and sighs "I am too baby. Keep reading that book, and maybe you'll get an idea. There's a way to beat cancer without radiation, and chemo." Xavier asks "How?" Beth pulls a joint out of her pocket, and tells Xavier "I know you never liked smoking marijuana, but this is one of the greatest things for someone battling cancer, and it can kill cancer cells also." Xavier sighs "So I read." Beth asks "Want to try?" Xavier looks at his Mother, and asks "What about my mouth? Will it affect it?' Beth looks at Xavier with a scared look, but tells him "At this point Son, you need something to help you relax, and increase your appetite." Xavier sighs "Fire it up Mother." Beth sits at Xavier's desk, as she lights it, and tells her Son "Take the first toke, and let it take in." Xavier takes a toke, and quips "Wow. That's some strong shit." Beth smiles, as she takes a toke as well "I only get the best. There's a therapy you can take, and it's experimental, but it'll be your choice." Xavier tells his Mother, in a defeated tone "I feel alone in this Mother." Beth asks "Why? Sully, Millie, Ava, Millie, Winston, Jared, Bobby, everyone's on your side? What's making you feel alone?" Xavier tells Beth "Leigh's acting strange. I want my Wife. I need her." Beth closes her eyes for a moment, as she sighs "Xavier, she is in denial. But she's been acting strange for some time." Xavier hands the joint to his Mother, as he tells her "I'm not crazy about this stuff. I need to stay alert with everything going on." Beth looks at Xavier, and sternly tells him "Your family's going to help you, and all we need to do is focus on healing you!" Xavier looks at his Mother, as Beth assures him "Bobby's got his eye on everything, and we're beating this." Xavier gets emotional, as Beth hugs her Son, and whispers "You are tough Xavier, and you're not leaving without a fight."
At Class, Leigh walks inside her office, as she looks around, and is silent, as she looks at a picture of her Husband on her desk, and holds it tightly, as she sighs with sadness and fear "I can't lose you X. I just can't accept this." A voice appears inside Leigh's head, that says "You need a break." Leigh is silent, as she looks around her office, and the door opens, as Alexandra walks in, and Leigh asks Alexandra "Who are you?" Alexandra looks at Leigh quizzically, and asks "Are you drunk?" Leigh closes her eyes, as she sighs with relief "Not now, but I will be!" Alexandra tells Leigh "So how's Xavier doing?" Leigh responds "Who?" Alexandra goes "Your husband? Millie's Father?" Leigh responds "Xavier Jackson? I don't know him. He works at Jackson Inc, and who in the hell is Millie?" Alexandra backs off, as she tells Leigh with a weird look on her face "May want to check the vodka Leigh." Leigh smiles "I've got a modeling tryout tonight. I'm so excited." Alexandra walks out, as Leigh looks around her desk, as she sees a picture of Sully, Jared, and Ruthie, and of Gracie and Xavier Jr, and Leigh quips "Who in the hell are these people?" Meanwhile Alexandra walks into her office, and makes a phone call, as she calls Millie, who's at Jackson Inc, and tells her Granddaughter "You may want to warn Sully and everyone. I think Leigh's went crazy." Leigh opens the door, and smiles "I'm going out for some fun. This isn't my thing. I just wear clothes." Leigh struts out, as she leaves, and Alexandra rolls her eyes, as she sighs "She's damn loony."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Sully arrives, as Ava and Millie sits inside Sully's office, as Ava asks her Niece "So have you noticed anything "off" about Leigh?" Sully quips "Mom's been in denial over Daddy's cancer Aunt Ava. I have too as well. So damn hard to accept." Millie tells her Sister "Grandma called me at Class a few minutes ago and said Leigh didn't know who she was. That's really coo-coo." Sully looks at her Sister, as Ava also looks at Millie, and thinks to herself for a moment, and tells her Nieces "It sounds to me like Leigh's went bat-shit crazy like Beth said. All I can say is if she hurts my Brother, she'll be dealing with me. She's on my shit list already." Sully sighs "She was gone this morning when I picked up Gracie and Xavier Jr for school, and Daddy said she's still accusing him of things, and Grandma's about to go postal." Ava quips "Makes two of us." Ava walks out, as she bumps into Javon, as he asks "Do I hear Millie Paige in Sully's office?" Ava goes "Yes. Why?" Javon walks inside, as he goes "Millie?" Millie turns, and sees Javon, and asks "What in the hell are you doing at my Father's company?" Javon responds "I work here Millie, and don't worry, I'm not a spy for Walter and his whore." Sully asks her Sister "How do you know Javon?" Millie looks at Javon, and responds "We knew each other in L.A.." Javon asks Millie "Want to have lunch together?" Millie accepts, as Javon tells her "We've got a lot to catch up on." Javon walks out, as Sully looks at her Sister, and asks "Am I sensing love?" Millie sighs "We were friends. With benefits. I'm not committing to a relationship. It's not me." Sully looks at her Sister, and advises her "If there's love, go for it. I think there's more than benefits there Millie." Millie gets up to leave, and sighs "Possibly." Millie leaves, as Sully feels a contraction, and holds her stomach, and sighs "Brock Xavier Hale, you'll have to be patient in there. I'm ready also." The office door opens, as Sully looks over sales, as she looks up, and goes "Aunt Ciarra?" Ciarra looks at Sully, and opens her arms, as Sully hugs her Great-Aunt, as Ciarra tells her Great-Niece "A little bluebird informed me about Xavier, and I came back to town." Sully cries in Ciarra's arms, as Ciarra comforts Sully.
At the ALPD, Bobby, Bree, Frank, Cale, Colt, and Russell are inside a interrogation room, as Frank tells his Niece "I'm pulling something Xavier'd pull in a time like this. All Cale and Colt's awaiting's my call." Russell looks at his former Brother In Law, and tells him "I'm glad you're here for Bree, and helping out Frank. I'll overlook any illegal activity." Bobby quips to Russell "Xavier did pay to get you elected Governor, so that's the least you can do." Bree tells everyone "Mom's still silent, and Dad's been M.I.A.." Bobby rolls his eyes, as Russell sighs "I originally supported what Country did, but now that my Daughter and Grandson's kidnapped by Angelica Hale..." The door opens, as Angelica walks inside, and asks with an evil smile "I heard my name." Bree screams at Angelica "Let my Sister go you sick old bitch or I'll kill you!" Angelica looks around, as Bobby, Cale, Colt, and Frank, pull their pistols out, and Angelica boldly tells them "That's not a smart move. I'm not the only one the two of you should be aiming for. One's Jamie, and the other, well I hope I don't speak too eloquent that you idiots can't understand.." Russell yells "Where in the hell is my Daughter?" Angelica turns to Russell, and sighs "Governor, I don't know." Bree yells "Bullshit! You have her somewhere!" Angelica coldly responds "I do, and the one all of you need to talk to is Jamie. Either she pays me, or Summer dies, and Jake will live with me. I'll let him watch me kill her. A dream come true..." Frank asks Angelica "What would we have to do to save Summer and Jake from you?" Angelica asks Frank "Seen Xavier? Read he's dying. Made me smile. I needed it." Bobby fumes, as Frank warns Angelica "Watch your damn mouth talking about my Brother you old bitch!" Angelica sighs "Now control your temper. Go find Beth and please her. She likely needs a distraction." Angelica then tells everyone "I will not accept anything from none of you, this is between Jamie and I. She has to pay me. If you all want to fight, and confront, then tell her to pay me, or else..bye bye slutty Summer, and bye bye Jake, well to all of you." Bree rushes at Angelica in anger, as she's restrained by Cale and Colt, as Russell warns Angelica "If my Daughter dies, Jamie won't be the only one dead. I'll make damn sure you're laying next to her." Angelica smiles, and tells everyone "Make sure to tell Xavier I said I hope he goes painfully." Angelica walks out, as anger fills the room, and Bree snarls with anger "I should have killed her! That sick twisted old bitch!" Russell reminds Bree, as does Bobby and Frank "That'd be the last thing to do right now. She did say one thing wise though." Frank tells them "Let's bait Jamie. I'm sure others would like to join in." Meanwhile at the Santiago Manor, Summer's leg's chained to the bed, as she hears Jake cry on the baby monitor, as anger, and hurt fill Summer's eyes, as she cries "Pay her Mom. Please."
At The Sunset Club, Walter and Jamie have drinks, as Walter tells his fiancee "The movie's ready to shoot. Now it's time for you to start writing the sequel." Jamie has a look of dread, as she tells Walter "I really want Summer home. I'm ready to do what I have to do to get her and Jake away from Angelica." Walter sighs "Don't worry about her. She's harmless." At the bar sits Winston, as he takes a drink, and says to himself, overhearing Walter "Sounds to me like the old witch's got a mole." Winston takes a huge drink, as he walks over to Walter and Jamie's table, as Walter snaps at Winston "And what in the hell brought you over here?" Jamie yells at Winston "Too damn early to deal with you! Go find Ava a psychiatric hospital." Winston laughs, and asks "So Walter, Angelica's harmless?" Walter goes "I don't want to hear your opinion Winston. You were always the evil one. Poor Angelica.." Winston snaps at Walter "Angelica isn't perfect, and she was never this sweet, kind, person as you'd like to think." Jamie asks Winston "How's Xavier?" Winston responds to his Sister In Law "Not well, and the two of you sure as hell aren't helping." Walter asks Winston "How about telling those people at that Hospital in Blue Ridge to keep their mouths shut? You hated Xavier, now you're kissing his ass." Winston warns Jamie "I would love to watch you die a slow painful death since you've caused my Wife a hard time burning her home down, and everything that's happened in the past, but I want my Grandson home safe, and you need to stop listening to this weasel, and pay her." Jamie snaps at Winston "You don't give a damn about Jake!" Winston responds "Neither do you, but I think I have more care for him than you at this point!" Jamie yells "Go take your medicine old man so Ava can be satisfied." Winston shakes his head, and grins "I'll be satisfied when Jake is safe, and for his Mother." Walter tells Winston in a hateful tone "Excuse us, we're having brunch. Go have a drink, and then go to hell." Winston looks at Jamie, and warns her "I'll tell you one word of advice, if you trust this son of a bitch, then you really are an idiot. Read between the lines slut." Winston walks out, as Walter assures Jamie "Don't buy that shit. They are all after you." Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "I want my Daughter home, and my Grandson. So maybe it's time I pay Angelica back." Walter rolls his eyes, as Jamie gets up, and walks out, as Walter gets out his phone and sends a text, reading "I'm trying."
Meanwhile at City Hospital, Terrance and Olivia sits inside Terrance's office, as they discuss Xavier, and Olivia tells Terrance "I'm going over to visit Beth. Allan's meeting me there. She told me he's reading some medical books I gave her." Terrance sighs "I'm glad she's not angry at us." Olivia tells him "He's her only child Terrance. After losing Ruth and Tenny, this is the last thing she needs." Terrance adds "And from what I understand, Leigh's not helping." Olivia nods, and responds "I think she tops the Boss' shit list. And speaking of Beth, I'm on my way out." Terrance tells Olivia "Send my best to Xavier." Olivia responds "I will Terrance, and hope all goes well with Willie." Olivia leaves, as Terrance sits at his desk, as he has a flashback, and sighs "I hope everyone will understand. Especially Uncle Clem, and Rashad." The door opens, as Monica walks inside, and Terrance tells her "Now's not a good time Monica." Monica asks "What's going on? Is it about Willie?" Terrance tells Monica "I've spoke to Javon a few times, and I think the ice is melting, but today will be difficult, and can we talk later?" Monica tells Terrance "Yes. Call me." Terrance nods, as Monica walks out, as she bumps into Aretha, Willie, Sayyid, and Rashad, as Willie asks Monica "When did you return to town?" Monica asks Willie "How are you feeling?" Willie snaps "A hell of a lot better if I wasn't looking at you whore!" Aretha warns Monica "Didn't I tell you to stay away from Terrance?" Monica snaps "I'm leaving Aretha! Chill your ass out!" Monica heads to the elevator, as Willie tells her Brother "You should kill her. After she has that kid." Sayyid responds "She likely already had him." Willie sighs "Damn." They walk inside Terrance's office, as Terrance tells his family "I think most of you know why we're here." Aretha asks her Brother "I hope it's not what I'm thinking Terrance." Sayyid warns his Nephew "I'm with Aretha." Rashad tells his Uncle "Does this have to do with what happened to Grandpa?" Willie gains some clarity for a moment, and tells her family "Look, I've spoken to Terrance, and he'll explain everything, but this is what I want, and I want all of you to support me." Aretha shakes her head, as she sighs with a scared look "Please don't." Terrance tells his family "I've ordered the medicine, and Mama has told me she wants an assisted-suicide." Sayyid warns his Nephew "She's not thinking clearly. Better watch your ass boy!" Terrance tells his Uncle "I don't want to see Mama go through what Daddy did, nor does she. She's already set a date, and we all need to come together for her." Willie gets emotional, as she tells her family "I don't want to live in a world where I don't know the people I love." Aretha asks "Isn't there a way to slow the dementia?" Terrance shakes his head, and tells his Sister "We could, but it's not going to stop it Aretha." Rashad tells everyone "I support it." Willie grabs Rashad's hand, as Aretha asks her Mother "Is this really what you want Mama?" Willie nods, as Sayyid tells everyone "I can't do it. I can't accept this. This is something left to Allah." Terrance asks his Uncle "Do you want to see Mama get to the point she doesn't recognize any of us? Know us?" Sayyid responds "No I don't Terrance. I know Willie has mentioned this, and for her sake, I support this." Willie looks around, as she smiles "Soon me and the love of my life will be together again, and I can leave with a little dignity." Aretha, Sayyid, Rashad, and Terrance gets emotional, as they hug Willie, and Terrance tells his Mother, and family "The medicine arrives today, and Mama's told me when to do it, so before we do this. We need to make sure Aunt Thelma, Eve, Javon, gets to see Mama, and she can leave knowing my Son, and make sure she's surrounded by her family." Everyone accepts, as Aretha tells her Brother "I know this is hard, and it's hard to accept, but I support this. When's the date?" Terrance tells them, as Aretha hugs her Brother, and Rashad follows as he hugs his Uncle, and Willie hugs her Son, and tells him with tears in her eyes "You'll be giving me what I want, and I'm proud of you Terrance." Sayyid also hugs Terrance, and tells his Nephew "Our family will be together, and my Sister's last days will be special. I'll make damn sure of it." Willie, Aretha, Rashad, and Sayyid walks out, as Terrance sits at his desk, and cries, as he says to himself "Life isn't fair at all."
As afternoon approaches, at Jackson Inc, Ciarra, Sully, Ava, and Jared sits inside Sully's office, as Ciarra's caught up on everything, and Ciarra sighs "I feel so bad for Beth. She must be going through hell." Sully sighs "We all are Aunt Ciarra. I'm not ready to lose Daddy." Jared tells his Wife "I don't think he's giving up, and neither should we." Ava quips "He's tough as hell, I know he'll pull through it." Ciarra tells them "With everything going on with Xavier, to poor Summer's predicament, it just makes me so sad. Why hasn't Jamie tried to help save Summer and Jake?" Ava sighs "She's still the same selfish whore she's always been, and Bree's going through hell, and Jamie's just destroying our family." Ciarra sighs with sadness "I'm glad I've grown close to Bree, and Summer, well she hurt me with helping Jamie, but she's still my Granddaughter, and she doesn't deserve what's happening to her." Sully asks her Great-Aunt "Are you heading over to Hell Hill?" Ciarra responds "I plan to after I check on Bree." Ciarra gets up, as she tells Ava "Floyd wanted to come back to town, but he's ok. He's having a hard time after that farming accident." Ciarra hugs Sully, and Ava, as she walks out, and Ava tells her Niece "This will be the best thing for everyone right now." Jared changes subjects, as he asks his Wife "So how's our Son?" Sully smiles, and says "He's been on a roll today. He's ready to come on out." Ava smiles, and tells Sully "Xavier will be so proud to meet him." Sully tells her Aunt "It won't be much longer." Meanwhile at Chantel's, Millie and Javon talk, as they have a drink, and they catch up, as Javon tells Millie "It was nice when we were out in L.A." Millie sighs with love in her eyes "Yes it was Javon. With us though." Javon asks "With us? What else happened after Mom and I left town?" Millie tells him, as she grows quiet, and looks away "I don't like talking about it. It happened a few months ago, when I was at the film set for that damn movie." Javon, with anger growing in his eyes, asks "Did Walter.." Millie nods, and Javon asks "Does Xavier or your family know?" Millie shakes her head, as she tells Javon "My family has enough on them, and when Dad came to visit for a day, he asked me what was wrong, and I told him not to concern himself with me." Javon pulls out his pistol, and tells Millie "I know he's got cancer, and I am more than willing to pay the sick bastard that I called Dad long ago an overdue visit." Millie stops Javon, and pleads "No. Please don't. He said he'd ruin me. He's already hurting my family." Javon snaps in a forceful tone "And I'm about to ruin him." Monica meanwhile arrives, as she notices Millie and Javon, and walks over and asks her Son "What's going on?" Javon looks at Millie, as Monica asks "He slept with you against your will also? He always liked his trophies." Javon yells "And I'm about to kill that son of a bitch too!" Monica stops her Son, and tells him "Javon, he's going to destroy himself. Not a matter of if, but when. He's already made one mistake signing Millie to play in that movie, and you let his banker take care of him." Millie asks "And who's his banker?" Monica responds "Angelica Hale."
At Hell Hill, Beth sits downstairs, as there's a knock at the door, and Beth walks to the door, as Frank stands on the other side, and Beth tells Frank "I'm sorry we haven't kept in touch.." Frank stops her, and responds gently "I understand Beth. Keep your focus on Xavier. Speaking of him, where is he? Beth sighs "He's in the study, barely leaves. He goes to bed, gets on Ruth's elevator, comes downstairs, heads to the study, then back to bed. He's pitiful Frank. He looks like a walking dead man, and it scares the hell out of me." Frank hugs Beth, and assures her "You and I both know he's fighting this." Beth sighs as she tries not to cry "He barely speaks, and he has a stage three tumor in his neck as well. If he dies..." Frank stops Beth, and sternly tells her "He's not leaving this world. He's got the best Doctor in Adam's Landing for his Mother, who won't stop at nothing to make sure he lives." Beth quips "You're being too nice." Frank asks "Is he up for visitors?" Beth sighs "Walk in there and see if he's willing to visit." Frank heads into the study, as Beth sits on the couch, as the phone rings, and Beth answers, as Alexandra tells Beth "Be on the lookout." Beth goes "Leigh?" Alexandra, sitting in her office, sighs "Something's very off with Leigh. I think she's flipped." Beth tells her "Thank you for the warning." There's a knock at the door, as Beth answers to find her Brother and Sister In Law, as Allan and Olivia walks inside, and Beth tells her Brother "You are slow Allan. I'd thought you would have been here by now." Allan pulls Tenny's marijuana pouch from his pocket, and tells his Sister "We thought you'd need this." Beth smiles, and they walk out onto the front porch, as Beth tells her Brother "Good thing you rolled them up." In Xavier's study, Frank looks at his Brother, as Xavier's chair is turned towards the wall, as Frank asks "Up to visiting for a minute?" Xavier turns around, as Frank looks at his Brother, and gasps, as he asks "Did you take chemo? You're missing some hair?" Xavier tells Frank "I did a few rounds of it, and radiation, and hated it. I'd take it, and then have chills the next day, feel like complete shit. I'd rather have an aneurysm than this." Frank sighs, as he tries to keep his composure, and tells Xavier "I wish you didn't have either. Right now you are needed more than ever." Xavier goes "Summer and Jake's kidnapping? Are you still close to Jamie?" Frank responds "She's changed. I don't know who she is anymore. Money and fame turned Jamie into a.." Xavier quips "Stuck up whore?" Frank sighs with sadness "Yes Xavier. But changing the subject, you'd be proud to know I'm pulling a page from your book on finding Summer and Jake. Cale and Colt's awaiting word, and when I find out where they are, I'm sending them to get her. Cale's got excellent aim." Xavier breaks a smile, and responds "My nephew. I think I could bet where Summer is." Frank asks "Where?" Xavier asks "Checked Santo's Manor? Angelica still owns it." Frank tells his Brother "Well I'll send Cale and Colt that way then. Russell's in town as well helping, Andy's overseas right now on a mission trip." Xavier tells his Brother "You protect our family Frank. So far, I'm pleased. Father would be proud of you." Frank chokes up, as he walks out of the study, as he leaves, and walks out onto the porch, as Beth, Allan, and Olivia smokes joints, and Frank asks "Having a hippie convention out here?" Beth looks at Frank, and tells him "This may be just what Xavier needs to save him." Frank sighs "If I had it, I'd try it." Frank leaves, as Beth asks her Brother "Got everything?" Allan takes a toke, and responds "I got everything you asked for Big Sis." Olivia responds "My friend in Montserrat told me about this treatment, and it saved Eve Mathis, so if this can cure Brain Cancer, surely it'll cure Xavier's cancer." Beth tells her Brother, and Sister In Law, as she looks at everything "She was mentioned in one of those books Millie brought over. She's smart, and ironically, I trained her." Allan quips "My Sister's a hell of a doctor."
At the ALPD, Bree sits inside her office, as Russell sits at her desk, and sighs with disgust "Shit!" Bree asks "What's going on Russell?" Russell sighs with anger "I have to return to Capital City tonight to break a gridlock in the state senate. I swear those assholes are idiots!" Bree asks "What about Summer and Jake?" Russell tells Bree "I'll be keeping in touch, and I feel safe knowing you have everyone in your corner Bree." Bree sighs with sadness "I just wish we could have killed Angelica when she was here earlier." Russell hugs Bree, and reminds her "Stay level-headed Bree. She's psycho, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's involved in this gridlock." Bree sighs "So she's bought off politicians as well?" Russell goes "Politics." Russell walks out, as he tells Bree "You have a surprise visitor." Bree is curious, as Ciarra walks inside, and Bree exclaims "Grandma!" Ciarra hugs her Granddaughter tightly, and asks "How are you? Looks like you haven't gotten much sleep worrying about Summer and Jake." Bree tells her Grandmother "Have a seat. How's Uncle Floyd?" Ciarra sighs "He's not well Bree. He really injured his back when he had that farming accident, and Maria's in charge while I'm here." Bree goes "Have you went to see Aunt Beth and Xavier?" Ciarra responds "My next stop, but I wanted to check on you. I don't regret opening up about being your Grandmother, or Summer's, but I'm not sure if I'd done it with what I know now." Bree responds with sadness "My Mom's hurt many people in town, and still hurting people." Ciarra asks "What can we do to save Summer and Jake?" Bree responds in a tone of defeat "Nothing Grandma. Angelica's done made that loud and clear." Ciarra asks "Think if I talk to Jamie, that it would help?" Bree shakes her head, and sighs "Nope." Ciarra tells her Granddaughter "I'm staying at Hell Hill, and if you need me, you call me sweetie. I'm not scared of talking to Jamie. I blame her for Tennessee passing away." Bree asks "How did you know about Xavier?" Ciarra, standing at the door, responds "A bluebird sat in my window after that news story broke, and it transformed into Tennessee, and she sternly told me to come back or she'd haunt Floyd." Bree breaks a laugh, as Ciarra responds "If you ever see a bluebird, it could be Tennessee. She's still around." Ciarra leaves for Hell Hill, as Bree sits at her desk, as her phone rings, and she answers, as it's Frank, as he drives home to The Farm, and tells his Niece "Send the ALPD to Santiago Manor." Bree asks "Do you think that's wise?" Frank tells Bree "Trust me Bree. Cale and Colt are waiting for me." Frank hangs up, and Bree makes a phone call, as she tells the Chief Of Police "Be on standby."
At The Evans Home, Aretha, Rashad, and Little Sidney sits in the living room, as Aretha looks towards her Mother's bedroom, as Willie sits inside, and writes a letter to her family, and becomes confused, as she says to herself "Damn!" Outside, Sayyid sits on the phone with Thelma, as he tells his Sister of Willie's decision, and Thelma responds "I don't like this Clem!" Sayyid yells "I don't give a shit what you like! I don't like it either, but damnit it's what she wants, so let's support her! Get your ass down to Adam's Landing!" Thelma, sitting in her home in Captial City, sighs "Ok! I'm on my way." Sayyid warns before hanging up "If you even start any shit, we'll fight! I mean it!" Sayyid hangs up, as Aretha walks outside, and asks her Uncle "How are you?" Sayyid asks "Where's Terrance?" At Chantel's, Terrance and Monica meets up, as Monica tells Terrance "Javon's with Millie. They dated when he was still in L.A." Terrance quips "He's smart. I'd say he got it from his Dad." Monica slyly says to Terrance "And me. He should be here any moment." Terrance quips "Maybe he and Millie's reconnecting? But word of caution, she dated Aretha's Son at one time. And Rashad still has feelings for her." Monica sighs "I'm sorry, but I can't stand Aretha at all. She's still the same bitch she was 20 years ago and never forgives or forgets." Terrance responds "She takes after Uncle Clem. She has her moments." Monica reaches out to Terrance, and grabs his hand, and asks "So I've wanted to ask you something. Do you still have feelings for me?" Terrance looks at Monica silently, as he responds "We made a Son, and I didn't know about him for years. I am gay you know." Monica responds "You mean bi-sexual? I see those almond eyes." Terrance takes a deep breath, and sighs "My Ex-Boyfriend said the same thing, and hell, maybe he was right. I do still have feelings for you Monica Carver. I've never gotten over you." Monica looks at Terrance, as they look into each other's eyes, and they kiss, and Terrance backs away, and responds "I haven't kissed a woman like that since.." Monica goes "Since me? Want to get a room?" Terrance tells Monica "Let's not go that far yet. You were always fast." Monica smiles, as she tells Terrance "I want to make up for hurting you. Let's give our Son the family he deserves." Terrance agrees, but tells her "I'm here for him, but right now my main concern's for my Mama, and making her last days as great as they can be." Monica asks "Last days?" Terrance stutters, as he starts to cry "She's asked for an assisted-suicide Monica." Monica gasps, as she tells Terrance "I hurt her leaving town. I want to make peace with her before she passes." Terrance tells Monica "It's time you do that, and she meets our Son." Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, inside Javon's suite, the phone rings, as Javon turns the phone off, and looks at Millie, as she lays in the bed, and Javon asks "How was that?" Millie gets up, and whispers "Perfect." Millie leads Javon into the shower, as they are hand in hand, and in the shower, Javon and Millie has sex, as she wraps her legs around Javon's waist, as he holds her in his arms.
At Walter's Mansion, Walter returns as Jamie looks at Walter, as he asks "So have you re-considered?" Jamie shakes her head, and tells Walter "I am ready to pay that evil bitch back!" Walter yells "Look Jamie, I forbid it! I mean it now! We have a movie to make, and a sequel. Focus on that!" Jamie yells "If my Daughter and Grandson aren't saved, then kiss that damn sequel goodbye!" Walter yells back forcefully "You will do what I say Jamie! Do you hear me? My damn career's on the line!" A door opens from upstairs, as Walter looks up and asks "Who's here?" Ava and Winston walks down the stairs, as Ava looks at Walter, and tells him sternly "My Sister also grown brains, and damn if I have chills." Walter looks at Jamie, with a puzzled look, as he asks "When did you join up with the woman who tried to kill you twice?" Jamie looks at her Sister, as Ava tells Walter "I told her the truth, and it's out in the open. Next stop will be The Exposer, and then the auction, and I'll give Aretha the money to buy your ass out if you're not killed first!" Jamie tells Walter "After our brunch, and thinking it over, I went to my Sister, and she and Winston told me some things. Game over Walter." Walter yells at Winston and Ava "This is MY house, and the two of you needs to get lost! Did Jamie tell you she's giving me a child? Have you called Maria Jackson yet?" Ava looks at her Sister with shock, as she quips "Ok I feel warm. What about Maria? Jamie..." Jamie sighs "Maria's about to be a Grandmother. Someone's in town, and they will carry the child Walter and I want to have." Ava warns her Sister "You fooled me whore, and you'll regret this. Bet on that! And you save your own ass, because someone else is in town, and when I see her, I'll inform her of this news!" Winston and Ava walks out, as Ava mumbles to her Husband "I can't believe this shit!" Winston sighs "I told you this was too good to be true Ava." Back inside, Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "Just so you know, she's hasn't been implanted yet. Not until Summer's returned home safe and sound, and Jake!" Walter yells "I'm going upstairs!" Jamie warns Walter "You do that, and tell Angelica I know you owe her!" Walter yells at Jamie "Ava's lying to you to protect your crazy ass family Jamie!" Jamie goes "Whatever Walter." Walter slams the bedroom door, as Jamie makes a phone call to Shannon Issac, now grown, and tells her "Ciarra's in town."
As the day comes to a close in Adam's Landing, at Sully and Jared's Penthouse, Sully, Jared, and Ruthie sits in the living room, as Sully tells her Husband "I don't know what's going on with Mom, but when I see her, I'm kicking her ass!" Jared reminds his Wife "Remember one thing, you're pregnant." Sully boldly tells Jared "She's not being there for Daddy, and Gracie and Xavier Jr has no clue what's going on with her. It makes my damn blood boil Jared." Ruthie tells her parents "She never lets me call her Grandma." Sully looks at her Daughter, and gently responds "Queenie, I don't know how to explain your Grandmother at this time, but your Grandpa loves you very much, and your Great Grandma too." Ruthie sighs with sadness "She told me she hated me." Sully's eyes widen, as she asks "When?" Ruthie goes "Earlier. She walked inside the nursery, and she said she hated kids." Ruthie starts to cry, as Jared asks Sully "Should we tell Xavier or Beth?" Sully tells her Husband, as they console Ruthie "I'll deal with Mom myself. If my Grandma or Daddy finds out, all hell will break loose, and it will, and from me!" At The Inn, Leigh drinks a glass of vodka, as Country sits next to her, as Leigh goes "So why are you so standoffish?" You're cute?" Country asks "Are you trying to have me killed Leigh?" Leigh smiles, and whispers in Country's ear "I'm not Leigh, my name is Erica, and I want you to myself." Unknown to them, Bobby walks inside, as he looks at Leigh and Country, and Bobby walks up, and asks Leigh "Have you forgotten you have a Husband and kids?" Leigh a.k.a. Erica asks Bobby "Who has a Husband and kids? Not me. I am young, and I want to have fun. Now excuse us buzzkill, while I take this strapping man to a room." Bobby grabs Leigh's arm, and tells her "Xavier needs you Leigh!" Leigh screams "The damn name is ERICA!" Leigh slaps Bobby, as she struts out, and Country asks Bobby "What's wrong with her?" Bobby responds "I don't know, but if I were you, I'd leave town." Country sighs "I think I'll do that. Give Xavier my best." Bobby walks out, as Country shakes his head, going "Erica? What in the hell?" At Hell Hill, Beth walks inside Xavier's study, as she carries a box with her, as Allan and Olivia has left, and Beth tells her Son "Here's what you need to get well baby." Beth pulls out a bottle, and takes out a spoon, and tells her Son "This is cannabis oil. Also known as hemp oil. This is the best cure for cancer." Xavier looks at his Mother, as he takes some, and asks "What's the other stuff?" Beth tells her Son "This machine's a vaporizer, with THC, and you breathe it, and it helps kill the cancer cells, and here's a vitamin I want you to take called B12." Xavier looks everything over, as he asks "Are you sure this will work Mother?" Beth nods, and tells her Son "It cured Eve Mathis, and she was close to death. This will cure you." Xavier looks over the vaporizer, and takes a B12 pill, as the doorbell rings, and Xavier tells his Mother "Go see who it is?" Beth nods, as she heads into the living room, and opens the door, and cries "Aunt Ciarra! Mama told me you were coming to town." Ciarra, with suitcase in hand, quips "That bluebird really spoils surprises doesn't she?" Beth smiles, and tells her Aunt "I'm so glad you're here." Ciarra holds her Niece tightly, as she tells Beth "My family needs me, and I'll be here until Xavier gets well." Unknown to them, Tenny's spirit watches, with a smile, as she walks into the study, and looks at her Grandson, and Xavier goes "Grandma? Am I hallucinating? Tenny responds "No, you're not Xavier. Ciarra's here, and I'm watching over you, as are these people. J.D., Ruth, and B.R.'s spirits stands next to Tenny, as Xavier starts to cry, and B.R. tells his Son "We're not ready for you yet." Ruth tells her Grandson "We are watching over all of you, so if you feel a cold breeze, know it's only us." J.D. looks at his Grandson, as he holds Tenny, and tells him "Beth needs you, and you'll win this battle. I know." They disappear, as Xavier looks at his Grandmother's marijuana pouch, and pulls out a joint, and says to himself "I will win this fight." Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Bree, Frank, Cale, Colt, Ava, and Winston are inside, as they discuss strategy, and Ava has filled everyone in on her meeting with Jamie, as she tells her Niece "Jamie showed her love today for Summer and Jake, and I think she's finally seeing the light." Winston mumbles to himself "Possibly." Ava tells her Husband "I think she's starting to wake up." Frank asks Winston "Since you were Married to Angelica, what should we do?" Winston advises Frank, Cale, and Colt "Bait her. She wants Jake, he carries the bloodline. As for Summer, Angelica doesn't care about money, she's sick, and would rather watch her die than to receive money. There's more than meets the eye with her." Bree boldly yells "I want her DEAD!" Ava sighs "Well Bree, that's what we all want, but to defeat Angelica, we'll all have to play the game as she'd play it." Frank asks "And what way is that?" Winston tells everyone "We need a mole we can trust, and I have the perfect candidate." Bree asks "And who are you thinking of?" Winston responds "Jared." At the Santiago Manor, Summer sits inside her room, as she hears Angelica holding Jake, and telling him "You will love your legacy. Grandma has big plans for you." Summer cries, as Angelica turns the monitor off, as she walks inside a room, as she holds her Grandson, and looks at someone, and tells him "I have everything in motion. You will soon have everything you need to survive." The man, in a coma, is unresponsive, as Angelica kisses him, and tells Jake, as he squirms "Forget about Mommy, money's not going to save her, because I plan to kill her to save this man. He's more worthy of breathing than she is."
At Class, Leigh walks inside her office, as she looks around, and is silent, as she looks at a picture of her Husband on her desk, and holds it tightly, as she sighs with sadness and fear "I can't lose you X. I just can't accept this." A voice appears inside Leigh's head, that says "You need a break." Leigh is silent, as she looks around her office, and the door opens, as Alexandra walks in, and Leigh asks Alexandra "Who are you?" Alexandra looks at Leigh quizzically, and asks "Are you drunk?" Leigh closes her eyes, as she sighs with relief "Not now, but I will be!" Alexandra tells Leigh "So how's Xavier doing?" Leigh responds "Who?" Alexandra goes "Your husband? Millie's Father?" Leigh responds "Xavier Jackson? I don't know him. He works at Jackson Inc, and who in the hell is Millie?" Alexandra backs off, as she tells Leigh with a weird look on her face "May want to check the vodka Leigh." Leigh smiles "I've got a modeling tryout tonight. I'm so excited." Alexandra walks out, as Leigh looks around her desk, as she sees a picture of Sully, Jared, and Ruthie, and of Gracie and Xavier Jr, and Leigh quips "Who in the hell are these people?" Meanwhile Alexandra walks into her office, and makes a phone call, as she calls Millie, who's at Jackson Inc, and tells her Granddaughter "You may want to warn Sully and everyone. I think Leigh's went crazy." Leigh opens the door, and smiles "I'm going out for some fun. This isn't my thing. I just wear clothes." Leigh struts out, as she leaves, and Alexandra rolls her eyes, as she sighs "She's damn loony."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Sully arrives, as Ava and Millie sits inside Sully's office, as Ava asks her Niece "So have you noticed anything "off" about Leigh?" Sully quips "Mom's been in denial over Daddy's cancer Aunt Ava. I have too as well. So damn hard to accept." Millie tells her Sister "Grandma called me at Class a few minutes ago and said Leigh didn't know who she was. That's really coo-coo." Sully looks at her Sister, as Ava also looks at Millie, and thinks to herself for a moment, and tells her Nieces "It sounds to me like Leigh's went bat-shit crazy like Beth said. All I can say is if she hurts my Brother, she'll be dealing with me. She's on my shit list already." Sully sighs "She was gone this morning when I picked up Gracie and Xavier Jr for school, and Daddy said she's still accusing him of things, and Grandma's about to go postal." Ava quips "Makes two of us." Ava walks out, as she bumps into Javon, as he asks "Do I hear Millie Paige in Sully's office?" Ava goes "Yes. Why?" Javon walks inside, as he goes "Millie?" Millie turns, and sees Javon, and asks "What in the hell are you doing at my Father's company?" Javon responds "I work here Millie, and don't worry, I'm not a spy for Walter and his whore." Sully asks her Sister "How do you know Javon?" Millie looks at Javon, and responds "We knew each other in L.A.." Javon asks Millie "Want to have lunch together?" Millie accepts, as Javon tells her "We've got a lot to catch up on." Javon walks out, as Sully looks at her Sister, and asks "Am I sensing love?" Millie sighs "We were friends. With benefits. I'm not committing to a relationship. It's not me." Sully looks at her Sister, and advises her "If there's love, go for it. I think there's more than benefits there Millie." Millie gets up to leave, and sighs "Possibly." Millie leaves, as Sully feels a contraction, and holds her stomach, and sighs "Brock Xavier Hale, you'll have to be patient in there. I'm ready also." The office door opens, as Sully looks over sales, as she looks up, and goes "Aunt Ciarra?" Ciarra looks at Sully, and opens her arms, as Sully hugs her Great-Aunt, as Ciarra tells her Great-Niece "A little bluebird informed me about Xavier, and I came back to town." Sully cries in Ciarra's arms, as Ciarra comforts Sully.
At the ALPD, Bobby, Bree, Frank, Cale, Colt, and Russell are inside a interrogation room, as Frank tells his Niece "I'm pulling something Xavier'd pull in a time like this. All Cale and Colt's awaiting's my call." Russell looks at his former Brother In Law, and tells him "I'm glad you're here for Bree, and helping out Frank. I'll overlook any illegal activity." Bobby quips to Russell "Xavier did pay to get you elected Governor, so that's the least you can do." Bree tells everyone "Mom's still silent, and Dad's been M.I.A.." Bobby rolls his eyes, as Russell sighs "I originally supported what Country did, but now that my Daughter and Grandson's kidnapped by Angelica Hale..." The door opens, as Angelica walks inside, and asks with an evil smile "I heard my name." Bree screams at Angelica "Let my Sister go you sick old bitch or I'll kill you!" Angelica looks around, as Bobby, Cale, Colt, and Frank, pull their pistols out, and Angelica boldly tells them "That's not a smart move. I'm not the only one the two of you should be aiming for. One's Jamie, and the other, well I hope I don't speak too eloquent that you idiots can't understand.." Russell yells "Where in the hell is my Daughter?" Angelica turns to Russell, and sighs "Governor, I don't know." Bree yells "Bullshit! You have her somewhere!" Angelica coldly responds "I do, and the one all of you need to talk to is Jamie. Either she pays me, or Summer dies, and Jake will live with me. I'll let him watch me kill her. A dream come true..." Frank asks Angelica "What would we have to do to save Summer and Jake from you?" Angelica asks Frank "Seen Xavier? Read he's dying. Made me smile. I needed it." Bobby fumes, as Frank warns Angelica "Watch your damn mouth talking about my Brother you old bitch!" Angelica sighs "Now control your temper. Go find Beth and please her. She likely needs a distraction." Angelica then tells everyone "I will not accept anything from none of you, this is between Jamie and I. She has to pay me. If you all want to fight, and confront, then tell her to pay me, or else..bye bye slutty Summer, and bye bye Jake, well to all of you." Bree rushes at Angelica in anger, as she's restrained by Cale and Colt, as Russell warns Angelica "If my Daughter dies, Jamie won't be the only one dead. I'll make damn sure you're laying next to her." Angelica smiles, and tells everyone "Make sure to tell Xavier I said I hope he goes painfully." Angelica walks out, as anger fills the room, and Bree snarls with anger "I should have killed her! That sick twisted old bitch!" Russell reminds Bree, as does Bobby and Frank "That'd be the last thing to do right now. She did say one thing wise though." Frank tells them "Let's bait Jamie. I'm sure others would like to join in." Meanwhile at the Santiago Manor, Summer's leg's chained to the bed, as she hears Jake cry on the baby monitor, as anger, and hurt fill Summer's eyes, as she cries "Pay her Mom. Please."
At The Sunset Club, Walter and Jamie have drinks, as Walter tells his fiancee "The movie's ready to shoot. Now it's time for you to start writing the sequel." Jamie has a look of dread, as she tells Walter "I really want Summer home. I'm ready to do what I have to do to get her and Jake away from Angelica." Walter sighs "Don't worry about her. She's harmless." At the bar sits Winston, as he takes a drink, and says to himself, overhearing Walter "Sounds to me like the old witch's got a mole." Winston takes a huge drink, as he walks over to Walter and Jamie's table, as Walter snaps at Winston "And what in the hell brought you over here?" Jamie yells at Winston "Too damn early to deal with you! Go find Ava a psychiatric hospital." Winston laughs, and asks "So Walter, Angelica's harmless?" Walter goes "I don't want to hear your opinion Winston. You were always the evil one. Poor Angelica.." Winston snaps at Walter "Angelica isn't perfect, and she was never this sweet, kind, person as you'd like to think." Jamie asks Winston "How's Xavier?" Winston responds to his Sister In Law "Not well, and the two of you sure as hell aren't helping." Walter asks Winston "How about telling those people at that Hospital in Blue Ridge to keep their mouths shut? You hated Xavier, now you're kissing his ass." Winston warns Jamie "I would love to watch you die a slow painful death since you've caused my Wife a hard time burning her home down, and everything that's happened in the past, but I want my Grandson home safe, and you need to stop listening to this weasel, and pay her." Jamie snaps at Winston "You don't give a damn about Jake!" Winston responds "Neither do you, but I think I have more care for him than you at this point!" Jamie yells "Go take your medicine old man so Ava can be satisfied." Winston shakes his head, and grins "I'll be satisfied when Jake is safe, and for his Mother." Walter tells Winston in a hateful tone "Excuse us, we're having brunch. Go have a drink, and then go to hell." Winston looks at Jamie, and warns her "I'll tell you one word of advice, if you trust this son of a bitch, then you really are an idiot. Read between the lines slut." Winston walks out, as Walter assures Jamie "Don't buy that shit. They are all after you." Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "I want my Daughter home, and my Grandson. So maybe it's time I pay Angelica back." Walter rolls his eyes, as Jamie gets up, and walks out, as Walter gets out his phone and sends a text, reading "I'm trying."
Meanwhile at City Hospital, Terrance and Olivia sits inside Terrance's office, as they discuss Xavier, and Olivia tells Terrance "I'm going over to visit Beth. Allan's meeting me there. She told me he's reading some medical books I gave her." Terrance sighs "I'm glad she's not angry at us." Olivia tells him "He's her only child Terrance. After losing Ruth and Tenny, this is the last thing she needs." Terrance adds "And from what I understand, Leigh's not helping." Olivia nods, and responds "I think she tops the Boss' shit list. And speaking of Beth, I'm on my way out." Terrance tells Olivia "Send my best to Xavier." Olivia responds "I will Terrance, and hope all goes well with Willie." Olivia leaves, as Terrance sits at his desk, as he has a flashback, and sighs "I hope everyone will understand. Especially Uncle Clem, and Rashad." The door opens, as Monica walks inside, and Terrance tells her "Now's not a good time Monica." Monica asks "What's going on? Is it about Willie?" Terrance tells Monica "I've spoke to Javon a few times, and I think the ice is melting, but today will be difficult, and can we talk later?" Monica tells Terrance "Yes. Call me." Terrance nods, as Monica walks out, as she bumps into Aretha, Willie, Sayyid, and Rashad, as Willie asks Monica "When did you return to town?" Monica asks Willie "How are you feeling?" Willie snaps "A hell of a lot better if I wasn't looking at you whore!" Aretha warns Monica "Didn't I tell you to stay away from Terrance?" Monica snaps "I'm leaving Aretha! Chill your ass out!" Monica heads to the elevator, as Willie tells her Brother "You should kill her. After she has that kid." Sayyid responds "She likely already had him." Willie sighs "Damn." They walk inside Terrance's office, as Terrance tells his family "I think most of you know why we're here." Aretha asks her Brother "I hope it's not what I'm thinking Terrance." Sayyid warns his Nephew "I'm with Aretha." Rashad tells his Uncle "Does this have to do with what happened to Grandpa?" Willie gains some clarity for a moment, and tells her family "Look, I've spoken to Terrance, and he'll explain everything, but this is what I want, and I want all of you to support me." Aretha shakes her head, as she sighs with a scared look "Please don't." Terrance tells his family "I've ordered the medicine, and Mama has told me she wants an assisted-suicide." Sayyid warns his Nephew "She's not thinking clearly. Better watch your ass boy!" Terrance tells his Uncle "I don't want to see Mama go through what Daddy did, nor does she. She's already set a date, and we all need to come together for her." Willie gets emotional, as she tells her family "I don't want to live in a world where I don't know the people I love." Aretha asks "Isn't there a way to slow the dementia?" Terrance shakes his head, and tells his Sister "We could, but it's not going to stop it Aretha." Rashad tells everyone "I support it." Willie grabs Rashad's hand, as Aretha asks her Mother "Is this really what you want Mama?" Willie nods, as Sayyid tells everyone "I can't do it. I can't accept this. This is something left to Allah." Terrance asks his Uncle "Do you want to see Mama get to the point she doesn't recognize any of us? Know us?" Sayyid responds "No I don't Terrance. I know Willie has mentioned this, and for her sake, I support this." Willie looks around, as she smiles "Soon me and the love of my life will be together again, and I can leave with a little dignity." Aretha, Sayyid, Rashad, and Terrance gets emotional, as they hug Willie, and Terrance tells his Mother, and family "The medicine arrives today, and Mama's told me when to do it, so before we do this. We need to make sure Aunt Thelma, Eve, Javon, gets to see Mama, and she can leave knowing my Son, and make sure she's surrounded by her family." Everyone accepts, as Aretha tells her Brother "I know this is hard, and it's hard to accept, but I support this. When's the date?" Terrance tells them, as Aretha hugs her Brother, and Rashad follows as he hugs his Uncle, and Willie hugs her Son, and tells him with tears in her eyes "You'll be giving me what I want, and I'm proud of you Terrance." Sayyid also hugs Terrance, and tells his Nephew "Our family will be together, and my Sister's last days will be special. I'll make damn sure of it." Willie, Aretha, Rashad, and Sayyid walks out, as Terrance sits at his desk, and cries, as he says to himself "Life isn't fair at all."
As afternoon approaches, at Jackson Inc, Ciarra, Sully, Ava, and Jared sits inside Sully's office, as Ciarra's caught up on everything, and Ciarra sighs "I feel so bad for Beth. She must be going through hell." Sully sighs "We all are Aunt Ciarra. I'm not ready to lose Daddy." Jared tells his Wife "I don't think he's giving up, and neither should we." Ava quips "He's tough as hell, I know he'll pull through it." Ciarra tells them "With everything going on with Xavier, to poor Summer's predicament, it just makes me so sad. Why hasn't Jamie tried to help save Summer and Jake?" Ava sighs "She's still the same selfish whore she's always been, and Bree's going through hell, and Jamie's just destroying our family." Ciarra sighs with sadness "I'm glad I've grown close to Bree, and Summer, well she hurt me with helping Jamie, but she's still my Granddaughter, and she doesn't deserve what's happening to her." Sully asks her Great-Aunt "Are you heading over to Hell Hill?" Ciarra responds "I plan to after I check on Bree." Ciarra gets up, as she tells Ava "Floyd wanted to come back to town, but he's ok. He's having a hard time after that farming accident." Ciarra hugs Sully, and Ava, as she walks out, and Ava tells her Niece "This will be the best thing for everyone right now." Jared changes subjects, as he asks his Wife "So how's our Son?" Sully smiles, and says "He's been on a roll today. He's ready to come on out." Ava smiles, and tells Sully "Xavier will be so proud to meet him." Sully tells her Aunt "It won't be much longer." Meanwhile at Chantel's, Millie and Javon talk, as they have a drink, and they catch up, as Javon tells Millie "It was nice when we were out in L.A." Millie sighs with love in her eyes "Yes it was Javon. With us though." Javon asks "With us? What else happened after Mom and I left town?" Millie tells him, as she grows quiet, and looks away "I don't like talking about it. It happened a few months ago, when I was at the film set for that damn movie." Javon, with anger growing in his eyes, asks "Did Walter.." Millie nods, and Javon asks "Does Xavier or your family know?" Millie shakes her head, as she tells Javon "My family has enough on them, and when Dad came to visit for a day, he asked me what was wrong, and I told him not to concern himself with me." Javon pulls out his pistol, and tells Millie "I know he's got cancer, and I am more than willing to pay the sick bastard that I called Dad long ago an overdue visit." Millie stops Javon, and pleads "No. Please don't. He said he'd ruin me. He's already hurting my family." Javon snaps in a forceful tone "And I'm about to ruin him." Monica meanwhile arrives, as she notices Millie and Javon, and walks over and asks her Son "What's going on?" Javon looks at Millie, as Monica asks "He slept with you against your will also? He always liked his trophies." Javon yells "And I'm about to kill that son of a bitch too!" Monica stops her Son, and tells him "Javon, he's going to destroy himself. Not a matter of if, but when. He's already made one mistake signing Millie to play in that movie, and you let his banker take care of him." Millie asks "And who's his banker?" Monica responds "Angelica Hale."
At Hell Hill, Beth sits downstairs, as there's a knock at the door, and Beth walks to the door, as Frank stands on the other side, and Beth tells Frank "I'm sorry we haven't kept in touch.." Frank stops her, and responds gently "I understand Beth. Keep your focus on Xavier. Speaking of him, where is he? Beth sighs "He's in the study, barely leaves. He goes to bed, gets on Ruth's elevator, comes downstairs, heads to the study, then back to bed. He's pitiful Frank. He looks like a walking dead man, and it scares the hell out of me." Frank hugs Beth, and assures her "You and I both know he's fighting this." Beth sighs as she tries not to cry "He barely speaks, and he has a stage three tumor in his neck as well. If he dies..." Frank stops Beth, and sternly tells her "He's not leaving this world. He's got the best Doctor in Adam's Landing for his Mother, who won't stop at nothing to make sure he lives." Beth quips "You're being too nice." Frank asks "Is he up for visitors?" Beth sighs "Walk in there and see if he's willing to visit." Frank heads into the study, as Beth sits on the couch, as the phone rings, and Beth answers, as Alexandra tells Beth "Be on the lookout." Beth goes "Leigh?" Alexandra, sitting in her office, sighs "Something's very off with Leigh. I think she's flipped." Beth tells her "Thank you for the warning." There's a knock at the door, as Beth answers to find her Brother and Sister In Law, as Allan and Olivia walks inside, and Beth tells her Brother "You are slow Allan. I'd thought you would have been here by now." Allan pulls Tenny's marijuana pouch from his pocket, and tells his Sister "We thought you'd need this." Beth smiles, and they walk out onto the front porch, as Beth tells her Brother "Good thing you rolled them up." In Xavier's study, Frank looks at his Brother, as Xavier's chair is turned towards the wall, as Frank asks "Up to visiting for a minute?" Xavier turns around, as Frank looks at his Brother, and gasps, as he asks "Did you take chemo? You're missing some hair?" Xavier tells Frank "I did a few rounds of it, and radiation, and hated it. I'd take it, and then have chills the next day, feel like complete shit. I'd rather have an aneurysm than this." Frank sighs, as he tries to keep his composure, and tells Xavier "I wish you didn't have either. Right now you are needed more than ever." Xavier goes "Summer and Jake's kidnapping? Are you still close to Jamie?" Frank responds "She's changed. I don't know who she is anymore. Money and fame turned Jamie into a.." Xavier quips "Stuck up whore?" Frank sighs with sadness "Yes Xavier. But changing the subject, you'd be proud to know I'm pulling a page from your book on finding Summer and Jake. Cale and Colt's awaiting word, and when I find out where they are, I'm sending them to get her. Cale's got excellent aim." Xavier breaks a smile, and responds "My nephew. I think I could bet where Summer is." Frank asks "Where?" Xavier asks "Checked Santo's Manor? Angelica still owns it." Frank tells his Brother "Well I'll send Cale and Colt that way then. Russell's in town as well helping, Andy's overseas right now on a mission trip." Xavier tells his Brother "You protect our family Frank. So far, I'm pleased. Father would be proud of you." Frank chokes up, as he walks out of the study, as he leaves, and walks out onto the porch, as Beth, Allan, and Olivia smokes joints, and Frank asks "Having a hippie convention out here?" Beth looks at Frank, and tells him "This may be just what Xavier needs to save him." Frank sighs "If I had it, I'd try it." Frank leaves, as Beth asks her Brother "Got everything?" Allan takes a toke, and responds "I got everything you asked for Big Sis." Olivia responds "My friend in Montserrat told me about this treatment, and it saved Eve Mathis, so if this can cure Brain Cancer, surely it'll cure Xavier's cancer." Beth tells her Brother, and Sister In Law, as she looks at everything "She was mentioned in one of those books Millie brought over. She's smart, and ironically, I trained her." Allan quips "My Sister's a hell of a doctor."
At the ALPD, Bree sits inside her office, as Russell sits at her desk, and sighs with disgust "Shit!" Bree asks "What's going on Russell?" Russell sighs with anger "I have to return to Capital City tonight to break a gridlock in the state senate. I swear those assholes are idiots!" Bree asks "What about Summer and Jake?" Russell tells Bree "I'll be keeping in touch, and I feel safe knowing you have everyone in your corner Bree." Bree sighs with sadness "I just wish we could have killed Angelica when she was here earlier." Russell hugs Bree, and reminds her "Stay level-headed Bree. She's psycho, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's involved in this gridlock." Bree sighs "So she's bought off politicians as well?" Russell goes "Politics." Russell walks out, as he tells Bree "You have a surprise visitor." Bree is curious, as Ciarra walks inside, and Bree exclaims "Grandma!" Ciarra hugs her Granddaughter tightly, and asks "How are you? Looks like you haven't gotten much sleep worrying about Summer and Jake." Bree tells her Grandmother "Have a seat. How's Uncle Floyd?" Ciarra sighs "He's not well Bree. He really injured his back when he had that farming accident, and Maria's in charge while I'm here." Bree goes "Have you went to see Aunt Beth and Xavier?" Ciarra responds "My next stop, but I wanted to check on you. I don't regret opening up about being your Grandmother, or Summer's, but I'm not sure if I'd done it with what I know now." Bree responds with sadness "My Mom's hurt many people in town, and still hurting people." Ciarra asks "What can we do to save Summer and Jake?" Bree responds in a tone of defeat "Nothing Grandma. Angelica's done made that loud and clear." Ciarra asks "Think if I talk to Jamie, that it would help?" Bree shakes her head, and sighs "Nope." Ciarra tells her Granddaughter "I'm staying at Hell Hill, and if you need me, you call me sweetie. I'm not scared of talking to Jamie. I blame her for Tennessee passing away." Bree asks "How did you know about Xavier?" Ciarra, standing at the door, responds "A bluebird sat in my window after that news story broke, and it transformed into Tennessee, and she sternly told me to come back or she'd haunt Floyd." Bree breaks a laugh, as Ciarra responds "If you ever see a bluebird, it could be Tennessee. She's still around." Ciarra leaves for Hell Hill, as Bree sits at her desk, as her phone rings, and she answers, as it's Frank, as he drives home to The Farm, and tells his Niece "Send the ALPD to Santiago Manor." Bree asks "Do you think that's wise?" Frank tells Bree "Trust me Bree. Cale and Colt are waiting for me." Frank hangs up, and Bree makes a phone call, as she tells the Chief Of Police "Be on standby."
At The Evans Home, Aretha, Rashad, and Little Sidney sits in the living room, as Aretha looks towards her Mother's bedroom, as Willie sits inside, and writes a letter to her family, and becomes confused, as she says to herself "Damn!" Outside, Sayyid sits on the phone with Thelma, as he tells his Sister of Willie's decision, and Thelma responds "I don't like this Clem!" Sayyid yells "I don't give a shit what you like! I don't like it either, but damnit it's what she wants, so let's support her! Get your ass down to Adam's Landing!" Thelma, sitting in her home in Captial City, sighs "Ok! I'm on my way." Sayyid warns before hanging up "If you even start any shit, we'll fight! I mean it!" Sayyid hangs up, as Aretha walks outside, and asks her Uncle "How are you?" Sayyid asks "Where's Terrance?" At Chantel's, Terrance and Monica meets up, as Monica tells Terrance "Javon's with Millie. They dated when he was still in L.A." Terrance quips "He's smart. I'd say he got it from his Dad." Monica slyly says to Terrance "And me. He should be here any moment." Terrance quips "Maybe he and Millie's reconnecting? But word of caution, she dated Aretha's Son at one time. And Rashad still has feelings for her." Monica sighs "I'm sorry, but I can't stand Aretha at all. She's still the same bitch she was 20 years ago and never forgives or forgets." Terrance responds "She takes after Uncle Clem. She has her moments." Monica reaches out to Terrance, and grabs his hand, and asks "So I've wanted to ask you something. Do you still have feelings for me?" Terrance looks at Monica silently, as he responds "We made a Son, and I didn't know about him for years. I am gay you know." Monica responds "You mean bi-sexual? I see those almond eyes." Terrance takes a deep breath, and sighs "My Ex-Boyfriend said the same thing, and hell, maybe he was right. I do still have feelings for you Monica Carver. I've never gotten over you." Monica looks at Terrance, as they look into each other's eyes, and they kiss, and Terrance backs away, and responds "I haven't kissed a woman like that since.." Monica goes "Since me? Want to get a room?" Terrance tells Monica "Let's not go that far yet. You were always fast." Monica smiles, as she tells Terrance "I want to make up for hurting you. Let's give our Son the family he deserves." Terrance agrees, but tells her "I'm here for him, but right now my main concern's for my Mama, and making her last days as great as they can be." Monica asks "Last days?" Terrance stutters, as he starts to cry "She's asked for an assisted-suicide Monica." Monica gasps, as she tells Terrance "I hurt her leaving town. I want to make peace with her before she passes." Terrance tells Monica "It's time you do that, and she meets our Son." Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, inside Javon's suite, the phone rings, as Javon turns the phone off, and looks at Millie, as she lays in the bed, and Javon asks "How was that?" Millie gets up, and whispers "Perfect." Millie leads Javon into the shower, as they are hand in hand, and in the shower, Javon and Millie has sex, as she wraps her legs around Javon's waist, as he holds her in his arms.
At Walter's Mansion, Walter returns as Jamie looks at Walter, as he asks "So have you re-considered?" Jamie shakes her head, and tells Walter "I am ready to pay that evil bitch back!" Walter yells "Look Jamie, I forbid it! I mean it now! We have a movie to make, and a sequel. Focus on that!" Jamie yells "If my Daughter and Grandson aren't saved, then kiss that damn sequel goodbye!" Walter yells back forcefully "You will do what I say Jamie! Do you hear me? My damn career's on the line!" A door opens from upstairs, as Walter looks up and asks "Who's here?" Ava and Winston walks down the stairs, as Ava looks at Walter, and tells him sternly "My Sister also grown brains, and damn if I have chills." Walter looks at Jamie, with a puzzled look, as he asks "When did you join up with the woman who tried to kill you twice?" Jamie looks at her Sister, as Ava tells Walter "I told her the truth, and it's out in the open. Next stop will be The Exposer, and then the auction, and I'll give Aretha the money to buy your ass out if you're not killed first!" Jamie tells Walter "After our brunch, and thinking it over, I went to my Sister, and she and Winston told me some things. Game over Walter." Walter yells at Winston and Ava "This is MY house, and the two of you needs to get lost! Did Jamie tell you she's giving me a child? Have you called Maria Jackson yet?" Ava looks at her Sister with shock, as she quips "Ok I feel warm. What about Maria? Jamie..." Jamie sighs "Maria's about to be a Grandmother. Someone's in town, and they will carry the child Walter and I want to have." Ava warns her Sister "You fooled me whore, and you'll regret this. Bet on that! And you save your own ass, because someone else is in town, and when I see her, I'll inform her of this news!" Winston and Ava walks out, as Ava mumbles to her Husband "I can't believe this shit!" Winston sighs "I told you this was too good to be true Ava." Back inside, Jamie looks at Walter, and tells him "Just so you know, she's hasn't been implanted yet. Not until Summer's returned home safe and sound, and Jake!" Walter yells "I'm going upstairs!" Jamie warns Walter "You do that, and tell Angelica I know you owe her!" Walter yells at Jamie "Ava's lying to you to protect your crazy ass family Jamie!" Jamie goes "Whatever Walter." Walter slams the bedroom door, as Jamie makes a phone call to Shannon Issac, now grown, and tells her "Ciarra's in town."
As the day comes to a close in Adam's Landing, at Sully and Jared's Penthouse, Sully, Jared, and Ruthie sits in the living room, as Sully tells her Husband "I don't know what's going on with Mom, but when I see her, I'm kicking her ass!" Jared reminds his Wife "Remember one thing, you're pregnant." Sully boldly tells Jared "She's not being there for Daddy, and Gracie and Xavier Jr has no clue what's going on with her. It makes my damn blood boil Jared." Ruthie tells her parents "She never lets me call her Grandma." Sully looks at her Daughter, and gently responds "Queenie, I don't know how to explain your Grandmother at this time, but your Grandpa loves you very much, and your Great Grandma too." Ruthie sighs with sadness "She told me she hated me." Sully's eyes widen, as she asks "When?" Ruthie goes "Earlier. She walked inside the nursery, and she said she hated kids." Ruthie starts to cry, as Jared asks Sully "Should we tell Xavier or Beth?" Sully tells her Husband, as they console Ruthie "I'll deal with Mom myself. If my Grandma or Daddy finds out, all hell will break loose, and it will, and from me!" At The Inn, Leigh drinks a glass of vodka, as Country sits next to her, as Leigh goes "So why are you so standoffish?" You're cute?" Country asks "Are you trying to have me killed Leigh?" Leigh smiles, and whispers in Country's ear "I'm not Leigh, my name is Erica, and I want you to myself." Unknown to them, Bobby walks inside, as he looks at Leigh and Country, and Bobby walks up, and asks Leigh "Have you forgotten you have a Husband and kids?" Leigh a.k.a. Erica asks Bobby "Who has a Husband and kids? Not me. I am young, and I want to have fun. Now excuse us buzzkill, while I take this strapping man to a room." Bobby grabs Leigh's arm, and tells her "Xavier needs you Leigh!" Leigh screams "The damn name is ERICA!" Leigh slaps Bobby, as she struts out, and Country asks Bobby "What's wrong with her?" Bobby responds "I don't know, but if I were you, I'd leave town." Country sighs "I think I'll do that. Give Xavier my best." Bobby walks out, as Country shakes his head, going "Erica? What in the hell?" At Hell Hill, Beth walks inside Xavier's study, as she carries a box with her, as Allan and Olivia has left, and Beth tells her Son "Here's what you need to get well baby." Beth pulls out a bottle, and takes out a spoon, and tells her Son "This is cannabis oil. Also known as hemp oil. This is the best cure for cancer." Xavier looks at his Mother, as he takes some, and asks "What's the other stuff?" Beth tells her Son "This machine's a vaporizer, with THC, and you breathe it, and it helps kill the cancer cells, and here's a vitamin I want you to take called B12." Xavier looks everything over, as he asks "Are you sure this will work Mother?" Beth nods, and tells her Son "It cured Eve Mathis, and she was close to death. This will cure you." Xavier looks over the vaporizer, and takes a B12 pill, as the doorbell rings, and Xavier tells his Mother "Go see who it is?" Beth nods, as she heads into the living room, and opens the door, and cries "Aunt Ciarra! Mama told me you were coming to town." Ciarra, with suitcase in hand, quips "That bluebird really spoils surprises doesn't she?" Beth smiles, and tells her Aunt "I'm so glad you're here." Ciarra holds her Niece tightly, as she tells Beth "My family needs me, and I'll be here until Xavier gets well." Unknown to them, Tenny's spirit watches, with a smile, as she walks into the study, and looks at her Grandson, and Xavier goes "Grandma? Am I hallucinating? Tenny responds "No, you're not Xavier. Ciarra's here, and I'm watching over you, as are these people. J.D., Ruth, and B.R.'s spirits stands next to Tenny, as Xavier starts to cry, and B.R. tells his Son "We're not ready for you yet." Ruth tells her Grandson "We are watching over all of you, so if you feel a cold breeze, know it's only us." J.D. looks at his Grandson, as he holds Tenny, and tells him "Beth needs you, and you'll win this battle. I know." They disappear, as Xavier looks at his Grandmother's marijuana pouch, and pulls out a joint, and says to himself "I will win this fight." Meanwhile at Bree's Mansion, Bree, Frank, Cale, Colt, Ava, and Winston are inside, as they discuss strategy, and Ava has filled everyone in on her meeting with Jamie, as she tells her Niece "Jamie showed her love today for Summer and Jake, and I think she's finally seeing the light." Winston mumbles to himself "Possibly." Ava tells her Husband "I think she's starting to wake up." Frank asks Winston "Since you were Married to Angelica, what should we do?" Winston advises Frank, Cale, and Colt "Bait her. She wants Jake, he carries the bloodline. As for Summer, Angelica doesn't care about money, she's sick, and would rather watch her die than to receive money. There's more than meets the eye with her." Bree boldly yells "I want her DEAD!" Ava sighs "Well Bree, that's what we all want, but to defeat Angelica, we'll all have to play the game as she'd play it." Frank asks "And what way is that?" Winston tells everyone "We need a mole we can trust, and I have the perfect candidate." Bree asks "And who are you thinking of?" Winston responds "Jared." At the Santiago Manor, Summer sits inside her room, as she hears Angelica holding Jake, and telling him "You will love your legacy. Grandma has big plans for you." Summer cries, as Angelica turns the monitor off, as she walks inside a room, as she holds her Grandson, and looks at someone, and tells him "I have everything in motion. You will soon have everything you need to survive." The man, in a coma, is unresponsive, as Angelica kisses him, and tells Jake, as he squirms "Forget about Mommy, money's not going to save her, because I plan to kill her to save this man. He's more worthy of breathing than she is."

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