Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 9. Betryal In The First Degree

    At The Adam's Landing Courthouse, everyone sits down, as Ava looks towards Beth, Frank, Xavier, Cale, and Allison, as Jo sits and silently reads up the papers on the case before her "She hasn't said a word." Frank is quiet, as he goes "Damn she looks good these days like she did in high school." Beth turns to Frank, and asks "And what secret could you be hiding?" Frank shrugs "A few dates and my second time." Cale and Allison's eyes widen. Meanwhile at the table where Jamie and her attorney, Luke Mason sits, Luke asks Jamie "Now if the chance does come that you're freed, wanna go up to where I live in the months that's name is shared with.." Jamie snarls "I want everything I earned back also." Luke quips "I can only do so much." Over at the table where Bree and Bobby sits, Bree is silent, as Jo tells everyone in the courtroom "I want a verdict now after reading all of that!" Luke stands, and yells "Your honor I know this is a town my client's family is known for buying people off, but I ask for a fair trial at most. Even at least two percent fairness." Bree stands, as she counters "I will be fair on prosecuting my Mother." Jamie glares towards her Daughter, as Jo laughs "Now everyone today we just get Jamie to tell us whether or not she's guilty, which we know she is. My God. That low to take your Sister's Husband Jamie?" Jamie snaps at Jo "It's Ms. Lord to you." Jo snaps back "And I'm the judge and you can kiss my soon to be retired after this case ass! Now I would just like a simple plea so we can all go back to our lives! Mine includes reading this paperwork." Luke looks at Jamie, as Bree also turns and stares at her Mother, as Bobby looks towards Jo, as she gives him a thumbs up. In the back, Frank tells them "She's always been sensitive. Why we never lasted. Then she married Jeffrey Chase, and they started a law firm together up in LaFayette for many years until he passed and she took the bench full time and sold the firm." On the other side of the room, Angelica sends a text to Roger, that reads "She's going to swim in the river after the trial with this judge."

     At Class, Ruthie sits inside her Mother's former office, currently used by Ruthie, as she's following Sully's footsteps becoming a fashion designer, as Jared walks in and Ruthie asks her Father "I see you stay too busy to call me. Cain's on his way back to boarding school. I took him to the airport this morning and think we're growing closer though he idolizes that bum Henry too much." Ruthie takes a deep breath, as she looks at her Dad, and asks him "Why can't you and Mom reunite?" Jared tells his Daughter "Sully is different now. Too much like Xavier. That's not a good trait to have sweetie." Ruthie disagrees, telling her Father "Dad, if used correctly. Mom though seems weak with Henry. I don't like him at all. She's better than him." Bridget walks inside, as she tells Ruthie "I need some salespeople on the floor right now. Samantha Hale needs some help!" Jared hugs his Daughter, and tells her "Let's have dinner tonight and we'll talk more. Go help the team." Ruthie heads out, as Bridget looks at Jared, and laughs "Nice way to sneak down to visit me." Jared tells Bridget "We both had too much to drink at Jazz, and that was one time!" Bridget tells Jared "I'm almost about to be available since Wade can't get away from Granny." Jared reminds her "I'm raising Russ also on my own and I want to be single. And you're married to my Brother who I have to see daily. May I too add, I can't stand?" Bridget kisses Jared, as he doesn't fight back, as they wrap their arms around each other, as they try their best to stop themselves from passion. Meanwhile in the store, Ruthie sees Samantha, as she asks Ruthie "I told Bridget I didn't need assistance. Only about one thing non related to shopping." Ruthie takes a deep breath, with red in her eyes as she snarls "That whore." Jared walks out, as Bridget tells Ruthie "Well false alarm on help it seems." Samantha looks at Bridget, and tells her "You are lucky Sully hasn't fired you." Ruthie laughs "Mom keeps her on here to keep tabs on her." Bridget storms off, as Samantha asks Ruthie, changing subjects "So how did you know Ava's drinking?" Ruthie tells her "Mom. and Uncle Jack. I worry about the man Mom's seeing. He really enjoys anything alcohol and Mom turns the other way." Samantha looks at Ruthie, and tells her "If you need someone to talk to, call me. We are family, and I guess your Aunt." Ruthie hugs Samantha, as she leaves, and Ruthie walks upstairs, into Bridget's office, and boldly warns her "Ever interrupt my Dad and I from visiting again I'll tell Mom and well, she already told you the outcome." Bridget, in a snarky and cocky tone, laughs to Ruthie "Well you are innocent, and Mommies and Daddies move on. So get used to it. We share something much older than you." Now go to your area and draw me a picture little girl." Ruthie walks out, as she fumes with anger, as Bridget checks her email, as she opens one to reveal a photo, as Bridget gasps with fear in her eyes.

    At The Holiday Hotel, Brock sits inside his suite, as Leigh walks around, and tells her Son "I have met with Monica, and I'll make sure you have what you deserve from Xavier whether he wants you to have it or not. He's about to get a taste of his own damn medicine." Brock tells his Mother "Gram sent me this last night." Leigh reads Beth's message to Brock, as Leigh yells "Beth can go to hell on her praises for a man that only loves those who praise him and never calls out his twisted bullshit he has done over the years!" Brock asks his Mother "So are we going to sell anymore stories so I can pay for this suite and you won't have to face the wrath of Dad?" Leigh tells her Son "He's going to take care of you. I'll make sure of that!" Leigh hugs her Son, as she leaves, and Brock heads downstairs, taking the stairs, as he sends a text, saying "I'll be down shortly."

    Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Sully, Jack, and Javon are inside Sully's office as Sully tells them "All our retail chains are doing well. I'm going to try some things with Class and Emery's, but Jim's is Daddy's call." Javon tells them "We've really rebounded as a company and I am seeing something promising for us to consider." Javon pulls out his phone, as Sully and Jack looks, and Sully asks Javon "A school turned into lofts. Alford Lofts does sound nice and would be wise to buy into completely. Good area too." Javon asks Sully "Want to buy the property since there's a chance?" Sully nods, as Jack heads off to make the phone call, and Javon looks at Sully, and asks her "So what's with you dating a proud criminal like Henry Jennings?" Sully responds asking "How does it feel having a Great Uncle who is a proud killer named Sayyid Ross?" Javon is quiet, as he too heads to his office, as Sully returns to work, and thinks of Henry. At Sully's Mansion, Henry takes a drink, as his phone rings and he walks into the living room to answer it, and Jared warns Henry "If you hurt my children I'll make your days hell. Sully is a hell of a lot better than you and deserves better!" Henry yells at Jared "We are fine and you are jealous because Summer Whitten is dead and she would proudly give you what you wanted. Sully's moved on loser. You, Jared Hale is a loser. A sorry piece of shit Father of a loser." Jared starts to yell at Henry, as the doorbell rings, and Henry lays the phone down, and pours another glass of moonshine, as he heads to the door, and opens it and is silent, as the person at the door is quiet, and goes "Well it's all over back home. So here I am." Henry hugs them. Meanwhile, as he drives to HaleCorp, Jared notices no response, as he yells "Henry!" Henry!" Jared hangs up, with rage in his eyes. At Sully's Mansion, Henry welcomes the person inside and goes "Make yourself at home and I'll pour us a strong one."

    Back at Adam's Landing Courthouse, Ava stands in the hallway, with her Brothers, Cale, Allison, Beth, Willie, and Aretha, as Ava takes a drink from her flask, as she shakes, and Beth assures her "Everything will be fine. Bobby's right there next to Bree and she's sending Jamie away forever. That judge's already on our side I think." Everyone agrees with Beth. Inside the Courtroom, Bree stands alone at her desk, as Country walks up and hugs his Daughter, and tells her "I love you." Angelica also walks inside, as she walks towards Jamie, as Luke sits next to her, and immediately warns Angelica "Stay away from Ms. Lord!" Angelica laughs in an evil tone "How's Jake, Russ, and Evan? Are you a hands on Granny.." Bree yells to the baliffs "Please have this woman removed from the courtroom!" Angelica warns Bree "Better win or the little whore you called Summer Whitten, her kids will be Hales, with the Hale name! And I'll make sure they are taught the Santiago family values unlike simpletons like yourself." Angelica walks out of the Courtroom, as Bree and Luke get their files ready when the judge walks back inside. Jamie is silent, with anger in her eyes. In the Judge's Chambers, Jo tells Bobby "She and her Brother hired a man to literally rape her Sister so she could sleep with Russell Marx and have him to herself. And then make Ava out to be the whore?" Bobby nods, and sighs "A dark time in the Jackson family saga. Ruth divorced B.R. once he covered things up with his donation." Jo sighs with sadness "That was B.R. Jackson. He ran this town. And I remember Ava before that happened. She was the sharpest mind I knew." Bobby sighs "She still is, but losing Winston, and all that pain really changed her. Were y'all friends?" Jo answers "Kind of. We both slept with Allan James once." Bobby laughs, as Jo asks her longtime friend "Ready to get the bitch's plea so we can just all go home?" Bobby nods, as Jo tells him "I'm honored to retire with this case. My son, Ryan wanted to also send his thanks." Bobby tells her "It was no problem. I'm just the mayor." They laugh as they head back to the Courtroom.

     At HaleCorp, Jared returns, as Wade sits inside his office, and asks his Brother "So went to visit my Niece, and likely flirted with my Wife while there I take it knowing how we are." Jared snaps at his Brother "You don't know me like that! Bridget is in charge of Class, or so she thinks if I know Sully." Wade gets a call, and goes "Send him in." The door opens, as Brock walks inside and Wade tells Jared "He's going to be an intern for HaleCorp. Be our version of you basically at Jackson Inc when Xavier liked you." Brock is quiet, as Jared warns Wade "This is a bad idea. He is the Son of a man that would be thrilled if either of us was killed tomorrow." Brock adds "Me three!" Wade tells Jared in a cocky tone "Brock will work out fine here and Grandmother will be happy when I tell her later." Wade leaves, as Jared looks at Brock, and asks his former Brother In Law "How's being a grown up treating you? I read the story." Brock tells Jared "Life's been hell for me because I'm the namesake of Xavier Jackson and such a shadow to live up to. It's too damn much. Why I like to be called Brock." They begin to talk, as Wade listens outside, and gets an idea.

     Back at Sully's Mansion, Henry and the guest lay back in the living room, as they ask in a slurred tone "Anymore of that stuff we just finished off?" Henry answers "Nope." The guests goes "Well damn! Now time to go buy some good hard stuff and get trashed. I'd prefer that in my old age." Henry asks the person "You've acted like something's happened. What happened?" The person tells him, which sends Henry into tears, as he and the person hug, as the door opens, and Sully stands back, as she is silent. At Class, Bridget sits inside her office, as Ginny arrives and tells Bridget "I was stuck in traffic." Bridget snarks "Likely lazy from the trip to the beach. If only we all could do that.." Ginny snaps at her boss "Why are you such a bitch?" Bridget gets up, and reminds Ginny in a calm tone "Since Wade considers you his Niece, you can call me Aunt Bridget and that's the reason there. Now go make some sales for the company so when Aunt Bridget strikes on her own, she has something to use to back up the talk." Ginny walks out, and heads to Ruthie's office, as Ruthie asks Ginny "Why do you bother talking to Bridget? My Mom owns this. She really runs things." Ginny sits down, as she tells her Cousin "She talks down to me like I'm below her and I've had enough of it." Ruthie laughs, as she finishes a design "We could always go see Mom at her office. It should be quiet today." Ruthie and Ginny heads to Jackson Inc. Inside Bridget's office, Bridget talks on the phone with Jared, as he's in his office at HaleCorp, and asks "So my place tonight around Midnight?" Bridget tells him "Maybe sooner. I've come up with a reason to not come home. Call you later." Bridget hangs up, as she looks up, and sighs "Wade, you've pushed me to this."

    At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Ciarra walks inside with Precious, as she tells him "I needed that walk. Thank you for being nice today. I'm already shamed enough just walking by a coffee shop where there's television." Ciarra sits down, as there's a knock at the door, and Ciarra answers, as Leigh stands on the other end, and Ciarra warns Leigh, noticing a scheming eye "I'm not getting involved Leigh! It's between Xavier, and Brock. Now I want to go back to my life behind these curtains and have my solitude." Leigh tells her "If you love Brock, then you need to do it for him." Ciarra asks "Do what for Brock?" Leigh answers "I'll pay you back with interest if you can help him out. I want to save things with X." Ciarra is silent, as Leigh awaits her answer, and Ciarra goes "I'll call you on that." and shuts the door. Leigh grows angry, and makes a phone call. At The Adam's Landing Courthouse, Jo returns inside, after she laughs "Had to take a smoke break before returning. Now Jamie! Do we have the correct plea?" In the back, Ava, Frank, Beth, Xavier, Cale, Allison, Willie, Aretha, and Country sits on Bree's side of the Courtroom, as the door opens behind, as Rachel sneaks in, sitting behind Angelica, as she tells Rachel "Good thing to see you working for once." At Jamie's table, Luke argues to the Judge "This is a bullshit trail paid and bought by Xavier Jackson's family and Roger Lord! You read those papers I hope and know what's said in there! She's a poor victim of a sick, twisted bunch and we don't know if Summer's really dead or alive!" Bree yells from her side, with Bobby sitting next to her "This is my Mom playing the victim card. She didn't like seeing the things she has done to people done back to her, such as Roger and Summer's one night stand that the woman walked in and witnessed. Karma!" Jo laughs "Oh yes I'd say so. Even being set on fire by her own Sister one would think would stop this madness!" Jamie yells "I'm innocent damnit!" Jo laughs at Jamie "Are you pleading not guilty? All I wanna hear from you is a plea and court is over for today." Jamie yells "Damn right not guilty. I did NOT kill my Daughter!" Jo swings the gavel, as she releases the court, and Bobby heads to the judge's chambers, as Bree walks over to her Mother, and warns her "You will pay for taking my Sister from her three boys, and from me. All the things you've done to the people I love, you will pay heavy." The jailer arrives to take Jamie back to jail, as Jamie's silent, and Bree's embraced by her Father, as Country holds his Daughter as she cries with hurt, and anger. In the back, Frank gets emotional as well, as Beth and Cale console him, as Ava walks outside and Xavier, Willie, and Aretha follow, as Ava tells them "She's about to be away forever. Too damn long." Xavier, Willie, and Aretha comforts Ava, as Rachel and Angelica walk out, as Rachel looks at Angelica as she reads a text, and smiles "So he's really mine to have and you'll promise that to me?" Ava and Xavier notice Rachel, and Ava quips "At least she's not my problem anymore. Inside the Courtroom, Frank comforts his Niece, as Bobby assures Country "She's got this won." In a hallway heading towards the back of the Courthouse, Jamie is stopped by Jo, and is slapped forcefully, as Jo snaps angrily "That's for sleeping with my Husband you whore! Just know I'm going to enjoy watching you cringe in your chair as your story's told and I hold your fate. This will be exciting now won't it? I'd say it will." Jo leaves, as Jamie's carried back to jail.

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 8. A Daughter's Quandry

     It's the next morning in Adam's Landing, and at Hell Hill, Leigh walks downstairs, as she is silent, as she's alone and makes a phone call, telling the person on the other line "Meet me here to discuss what I mentioned last night." Leigh is silent, as she looks at her wedding portrait of her and Xavier, as she snarls "I'd never dreamed you'd turn into B.R. Jackson!" At Jackson Inc, Xavier sits inside his office, as Bobby stands inside, as does Sully and Henry and Jack, as Xavier asks Bobby "So who will be the judge at Jamie's trial?" Bobby takes a deep breath, and answers "A lady I know will send her straight to Lexington. Judge Jo." Sully asks "Who is she?" Henry tells Sully "She let me go once for a charge. But she's unpredictable as hell." Bobby assures them "Oh she already read up on the case, and told me to tell all of you she's going to enjoy herself. With her, that means entertainment and she really got into Ava's past. So it's safe to say Jamie's ass is about to be rotting in a cell." Xavier changes subjects, and asks "And who can tell me about this?" Xavier holds up his tablet, with the cover story to The Exposer, as Sully gasps, and asks "Did Aretha Evans get her computer hacked?" Xavier answers "No. This is your Mother Princess. She's still helping that bastard you have for a Brother and I have as a namesake and well, it's just about to get dirty." Bobby tells everyone "Well time to head down to the Courthouse." Xavier looks at his Nephew, and asks Jack "Are you going down there to support your Mother?" Jack sighs "After last night, she let me know she wanted her space." Jack walks out, as Sully tells Henry "I need to talk to Daddy for a moment and then we'll go to my office." Henry walks out, as Sully asks her Father "Are you going down to the Courthouse to support Aunt Ava?" Xavier nods, and adds "I got a meeting though today and I'll tell you later. Keep tabs on things here, and I'll come by after my meeting." Sully asks her Father, as Xavier opens the door "And who are you meeting?" Xavier kisses his Daughter, and whispers "It's secret for now." Xavier heads to the Courthouse, as Henry waits in the lobby, as he asks Sully "And is it now my cue to head home?" Sully kisses Henry, and tells him "It is. I'm about to meet with Mom today. Might be wise." Henry nods in agreement, and leaves, as Sully sits back, as she reads The Exposer, and says to herself "If you did this Mom, you just made a mistake you'll seriously regret."

     At The ALPD, Bree sits inside her office, as Paul walks in, and tells Bree, holding a bag "The boys made you some gifts. We were expecting you last night." Bree tells Paul "I'm more preoccupied about bringing my Mother to justice once and for damn all. Killing my damn Sister was too much!" Paul reminds Bree "She owed money to Angelica Hale, and we know..." Bree yells "As much as it sickens me to say, Angelica the devil herself is actually innocent and provided evidence and has accepted to take the stand." Paul asks "And Ava?" Bree quips "Likely already at the Courthouse." In Jamie's cell, the jailer arrives, as he tells Jamie "You have a visitor." Jamie rolls her eyes, as she sighs with disgust "I don't want to see anyone." The jailer opens the cell, and boldly tells her "It's your Brother." Jamie walks into the visitation room, as Frank sits on the other side, as Jamie goes "I'm so thankful you survived that heart transplant and still here for.." Frank tells his Sister "Wait just a damn minute Jamie before you start this ass kissing session. I'm here to tell you that I will help Bree however I can to make sure you stay in jail. Jamie gasps "Frank! I tried to save your life. I did everything you.." Frank yells angrily at his Sister "And Cale filled me in once I recovered and Beth also added her two cents. You wanted me to die too? The only one in this damn family that had your back? You aren't who I thought you were. I defended you so many damn times. I should have stepped in and helped you and Junior go to Prison after what y'all did to Ava.." Jamie yells "Tell me, has that bitch ever helped you? Does she even give a shit about you Frank? Ava is a crazy demented drunk!" Frank snaps "You helped her get there a long time ago and now Jamie, you've lost me too and I will be taking that stand. I also finally read those excerpts from that trashy book and yeah Jamie, screw you. See you in court!" Frank walks out, as Jamie yells for the jailer, as he tells her "Time to head to the Courthouse."

     At The Evans Home, Willie walks out of her bedroom, as Aretha asks her Mother "Looks like you're dressed for church!" Willie tells her Daughter "Ruth would be on the front row for this trial if she was here. She detested that little bitch so much. I'm going for her, and testifying." Aretha gets a text, as she sighs "Shit, that story has been seen by Xavier." Willie asks her Daughter "You didn't? I hope you didn't?" Aretha tells her Mother "Brock came by my office with Leigh and he told his story and I paid him for it since he was hurting for money.." Willie shakes her head, as she goes "Aretha that boy is pushing his buttons and played you." Aretha tells her Mother "Let's go to the Courthouse now, and we'll deal with Xavier when we get there. He's going to be there today." Willie warns her Daughter "Don't forget about that time you wrote about his Daughter Millie and his threats. You wrote about family Aretha for ratings. And that's going to bite you if you don't tell the truth to Xavier." Aretha asks her Mother "Have you heard anything from Ciarra?" Willie sighs with sadness "She's really down right now over Jamie's trial. I've wanted to check in with her, and she keeps blowing me off." Aretha hugs her Mother, and goes "If she ain't at the Courthouse, we'll just drop in when we leave." Willie warns "Best hope Beth ain't there. She may read you the riot act over this!" Aretha answers "I've spoke to her too and she is more angry at Brock and Leigh." Willie sighs "I feel another war brewing." Aretha opens the door, as she agrees with her Mother.

      Meanwhile at Lord Incorporated, Roger sits inside his office, as he reads the morning news, with a smile on his face as he laughs "What happens when you cross me." The door opens, as Carver walks inside, and asks Roger "So still holding a grudge? Roger laughs "Well once Aretha saw that you weren't faithful that just ended things for the two of you. That was gratifying to watch." Carver takes a deep breath, and tells Roger "That was low for you. But what you are doing is lower." Roger asks Carver in a calm, yet distant tone "You mean playing the field? I'm currently playing around with Rachel Lane. That girl is great in bed. And if you want to keep a job, then best not get any ideas." Carver tells Roger "Don't worry about me sleeping with Rachel, but if I were you I'd get a STD test done. That girl's been around." Roger smiles "Which makes her such a freak in the bedroom. Now Carver I'm expecting a mutual friend and I request privacy." Carver walks out, as he tells Roger "If it's who I think, then I still have a woman." Roger laughs "Her sex toy. Only Angelica's sex toy." Carver walks out, rolling his eyes, as Roger sits in his office, and makes a phone call to Rachel, but to no response.

     At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth walks inside with Precious, as she sighs "Cold weather and this spoiled dog doesn't mix." Ciarra is distant, as Beth asks her Aunt "Why aren't you dressed for the trial?" Ciarra goes "I'm not going Beth. I want to forget it. I just want to forget Jamie Lord lives and breathes. If only abortions had of been ok in those days. I'd had one. Worst mistake of my life, and the last words Tennessee told me before she passed away. I regret ever saying anything." Beth asks her Aunt "You did gain a Granddaughter in Bree, and she needs you down there." Ciarra tells Beth "I'm not Ruth, and I can't comfort her like she could. I just lucked out when it came to children. I wish Jamie was dead." Beth tells her Aunt "Well Aunt Ciarra, maybe go down there and say a few things and it might happen. That judge would love to hear your side." Ciarra tells her Niece "Just go and give Bree a hug from me and tell her I'm here if she needs me." Beth hugs her Aunt, with sadness, as she heads to the Courthouse.

     Meanwhile back at Hell Hill, Monica sits inside the living room, as Leigh keeps a tab on a radio, as Monica asks "Why are you listening to security?" Leigh answers "In case Brock shows up I can let him in. Xavier's banned him from Hell Hill, Jackson Inc. And I'm the bad person for supporting my Son. I'm tired of it Monica. Damn tired of it!" Monica pulls out her briefcase, as she pulls out some files, and Leigh begins to look over them, and Monica asks Leigh "From all I've learned in this town over the years, are you sure about this?" Leigh tells Monica "I'm tired of watching my Husband turn into his Father. He plays favorites, and never given Brock a chance." Monica asks Leigh "Do you still love Xavier?" Leigh nods, but tells her "I think he needs a reality check. I want to give him a dose of his own medicine." Monica points to another file, and asks "And what about this?" Leigh puts the file in her purse, and goes "This is leverage. I'm doing to him, what Ruth would do to B.R. when he acted out of line." Monica heads to the door, as she warns Leigh "I'm only helping halfway, if you want to do the rest Leigh, then I'm praying for you." Monica leaves, as Leigh reads the files, and says to herself "If I am going to turn into the bitch, so be it. Brock won't be treated like Frank was treated by B.R.! I'll finish what Ruth threatened on him on Xavier! He won't like it, but karma's a bitch!"

      At The Adam's Landing Courthouse, Ava sits inside the courtroom, as she takes a drink from her flask, as Cale and Allison arrive and sits next to her, as she asks "Where's Frank?" Cale tells his Aunt "He went to have a discussion with Jamie this morning. I think he's letting her know where she now stands." Ava quips "About damn time!" Beth arrives, as she hugs everyone, and goes "Terrance won't be making it today, and when Aretha arrives, we're going outside." Ava asks "What for Beth? That tone makes me think she must of pissed you off." Beth asks Ava "Did you read her tabloid headline?" Beth pulls out her phone, as Ava gasps, and Cale looks at his Wife, as they roll their eyes. Meanwhile Bobby walks inside and greets everyone, as Beth asks him "So are you ready for some privacy again since Paul and the boys are with you?" Bobby laughs "I sorta am Boss." Beth smiles, and tells Bobby "Thank you for looking out for Bree." Bobby humbly goes "I've always been the family lawyer, and being mayor won't stop me from looking out for the Jackson family." Ava meanwhile asks Beth "Where's Ciarra?" Beth answers "She's not coming down here. She's really having some difficulty with this. Two children, both turned out to be conniving whores." Ava sighs with sadness "Poor lady. She's always been one of the kindest people I've known, and she never deserved this." Beth agrees, as Frank arrives, and hugs his family and warns them "Bree is having a hard time." Cale tells his Father "We're all here, and she'll be ok." Frank hugs his Son and Daughter In Law, and tells them "Welcome home. I've missed y'all."  In the elevator, Bree steps on, as Angelica stands in the corner, and asks Bree "So ready to go send your Mother to the chair?" Bree is silent, as Angelica warns Bree "Don't fail." Bree warns Angelica "Don't make threats to me you evil bitch! If you dare hurt one of Summer's Sons if my Mom does go free I will kill you myself." Angelica smiles, and snarls "I will take them from Paul, and your presence, and raise them myself. True Hales! The elevator door opens, as they head towards the courtroom, as Angelica stands at the door, and sends a text.

      At The Sunset Club, in a private area, Xavier sits, as Country walks inside, and tells Xavier "Here's my info on Leigh. I'm surprised. But I tell ya that boy does need to be brought down some notches. Trying to grow up too fast and rebellious as hell." Xavier asks Country "So how is he adjusting to the dump over The Inn?" Country tells him "Leigh came over yesterday and told him to go with her.." Xavier is silent, and goes "That's why I seen a suite booked at The Holiday Hotel in my account. And I'll give you a pass due to finally doing something to truly gain back my respect." Country looks at Xavier, with tears, telling his once best friend "If I'd known she'd ever do this X I'd gutted her. I've felt like shit for letting her live, but she's Bree's Mother. And she's the one really having a hard time." Xavier tells Country "You're forgiven Brother. Now thank you for helping me learn this valuable information on my Wife, and now let's support Bree." Xavier and Country gets up as they head to the Courthouse. Meanwhile at the bar, Rachel sits, as she sends a text, that goes "Tell the editor that I've received gossip that.." Wade arrives, and asks "And what might that be?" Rachel looks at Wade and asks "And why aren't you at work getting me some scoop for my dream job, running a tabloid to go against Aretha thanks to Roger Lord." Wade tells Rachel "Jared's at the office and I felt like drinking." Rachel sighs "Is it Bridget?" Wade nods, and goes "She hates it here Rachel and Grandmother's acting strange." Rachel rolls her eyes, and laughs "Sounds like she's thirsty." Wade tells his longtime friend "Well our Son is growing up in Sugar Creek, and it's hard." Rachel tells him "My Son's up there and Eve Mathis kindly let me know to never come back after River and I split up." Rachel orders a drink, as Wade and Rachel look at each other passionately in silence, as he touches her hand.
 
    At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her office, as she reads her Father's sales reports for Jim's, as she gets a message, and texts back "Send her in." Leigh walks inside, as she asks her Daughter "So when did you decide to have the closed door policy at the office? I see it's that way these days here." Sully asks her Mother, opening her purse, "Mom. I want you to be honest with me when you see this and tell me you didn't just drop to Jamie Lord's level." Sully shows her Mother the cover of The Exposer, as Leigh is silent, and slowly, and sternly reminds her Daughter "Sully, he's my Son, and your Brother. Family sticks together whether you like them or not. Not because X hasn't gotten over his mistakes doesn't mean Brock is deserving what.." Sully yells "Yes it does Mom! He's spoiled and you allowed it to happen! Daddy has accepted his part and is trying to change it. Time for you to do the same!" Leigh slaps her Daughter, as she goes And X spoiled you and bought you Class." Sully snaps "He and Grandma were hard on me but I knew he loved me and was Mom too. So if this will be all, I have to go back to work and I'll talk to you at dinner tonight." Leigh starts to open her purse, as Sully looks up, and glares, as Leigh laughs "Looking for my keys." Leigh leaves, as Sully rolls her eyes. At the Adam's Landing Courthouse, Beth and Aretha are in the hallway, as Ava, Frank, Willie, Cale, Allison, and Angelica has arrived. Aretha tells Beth "I really didn't want to get in the middle of this and I thought we'd discussed this." Beth warns Aretha "Leigh will not put my family in the headlines so Brock can make money. And next time she tries to call you, call me immediately to fix the bitch myself." Xavier and Country arrives, as Beth hugs her Son, and tells him "Everyone's inside and I think it's about to start." In the Courtroom, Ava sits next to her Brother, as Frank sits next to Cale and Allison, as Angelica sits to herself silently. Beth, Aretha, and Xavier walk inside and take their seats, as Willie tells Aretha "I wanted to sit near the devil. Something's off about this." Aretha whispers "It's usually a dark cloud about to drop a tornado since it's Angelica Hale we're discussing Mama." In the hallway behind the courtroom, in front of the Judge's chambers, Bobby, and Country stands next to Bree, as Country hugs his Daughter, as Bree tells him "I can't do it Dad. I can't." Country tells her "Yes you can because you are the smartest person I know and I'm proud to know you're my Daughter." The Judge walks out of the chambers, as Bobby follows the judge, as the Judge asks "And you didn't mention the one sending Jamie Lord to the beautiful Midwest is her own Daughter. Now isn't that uh, unorthodox of proceedings." Bobby answers "And remember that check you now have." The Judge smiles "Ah yes, this is my retirement trial. Afterwards I intend to stay home and enjoy my days outside this courthouse." Bree and Country walks inside, as Bree takes her place, and Country joins Xavier and Beth. Jamie's lawyer arrives, as the jailer walks inside with Jamie, as Ava gets up and walks towards her Sister, and tells her "I hope they give you a firing squad execution. I'll promise to make it happen." Jamie keeps walking, as she stops where her Daughter sits, and tells her coldly "Bree, I hate you. I disown you and remember who brought you in the world can take you out." Bree asks "Threats?" Jamie is taken to her side, as Bree sits at her table, and gets emotional, as Bobby sits next to her, and hugs her, as the bailiff yells "All rise for Judge Jo Chase." The Judge walks inside and takes her seat, as Jamie's trial begins.

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 7: The Great Reboot

         It's now three months since we've last visited Adam's Landing, and we will pick up our show from where we left off, and then move up three months. There were many stories and brewing wars on the rise, and returning. And we now will be getting back to the classic D&D basics and refresh, yet finish where we left off.

Three Months Later In Adam's Landing,

         It's three months later in Adam's Landing, and things have changed for many in a short time. At Hell Hill, Leigh sits inside the living room, silent as Xavier walks out of his office and asks his Wife "Let's go to Mother's and have dinner my love.." Leigh slaps her Husband and snaps angrily "Just know something X, if you win, then we are done! Damnit I mean DONE!" Xavier warns his Wife "The way it looks, we all but are anyway so let's play pretend for our Princess, and maybe Gracie if she shows up." Leigh yells "Why can't you call our Son so he can join us?" Xavier yells "Ok let's go! If you wanna do it this way, I can do the damn same and my namesake has failed me and I will never forgive him! And I wish you could do the same!!" They walk out, as Leigh pulls out her phone and reads a message and replies "Meet me tomorrow to discuss that." 

      At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her new office, as Jack walks inside, and asks his Cousin "Staying late?" Sully tells him "With all the friction right now between my parents, and with the whore and.." Jack laughs as he asks "Which whore may we be referring to cousin? Rachel? Aunt Jamie?" Sully laughs "Jamie I doubt will be a concern for much longer with what's coming for her." Jack sighs with relief "At least it's made my Mother slow down on the bottle." Sully's phone rings, as Jack heads out, as Sully goes "I want those files tonight!" Sully hangs up, as she takes a deep breath, as she reads a text, and sighs with disgust "Time for the bitch to know where she stands."

    At Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the living room, as evening has fallen, as she makes a phone call but gets no answer. Ava takes a deep breath, as she says to herself "Poor Bree." There's a knock at the door, as Ava answers to find Angelica at the door and walks in as she tells Ava "We have a problem at HaleCorp. I'm tasting that quench for bloodshed." Ava asks "Wade? Jared?" Angelica mumbles "Jared. And my Grandson's Wife Bridget!" Ava sighs "I asked Sully why she let her go back to work at Class, and she smiled and went "To keep a watchful eye on my enemy." Angelica smiles and goes "That girl takes after her Father." Ava quips "She does, but Xavier would kill them dead. I recommend she do that to Bridget too!" Angelica asks "So are you going to the Courthouse tomorrow?" Ava nods, and smiles "A long damn time coming!" Angelica heads to the door, and tells her "She pushed her limits, and now she's going to pay for it." Angelica leaves, as Ava looks at her Christmas Tree, as the Holiday Season's passed, and smiles "Yes a very long time coming it has. Thank you Winston. I miss you my sweet old Grinch." Ava kisses his photo that's on the mantle, as she has a thought, and makes a phone call.

    Meanwhile at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth, Ciarra, and Ruthie are inside the kitchen, as Beth asks her Great-Granddaughter "And where is your Mama? I told her to slow down and I'm kind of dreading this tonight." Ruthie asks her Great-Grandmother "So since I can drive, maybe you could help Mom and push my Papaw to make her get me a car?" Ciarra quips to her Great-Niece "I'll let you have mine. I don't plan to leave this apartment again." Beth rolls her eyes, as she sighs "Damnit Aunt Ciarra I know it's not your most favorite time and with this trial about to start.." Ruthie looks at them, and checks her phone and tells them "Mom's taking a rain check so I have to meet her downstairs." Beth hugs her Great-Granddaughter, and warns her "Tell Sully I said to slow down!" Ciarra also hugs Ruthie as she leaves, and Beth asks her Aunt "And what shall I expect when Xavier and Leigh arrive?" Ciarra answers distantly "A hopefully pleasant dinner for our late Christmas." On the road, Xavier drives the SUV, as Leigh sits in the passenger's seat as she glares at her phone silently, as she reads a story on the 'The Exposer', titled "Son of X Sr Tells All!!", glaring angrily, turning to her Husband as Xavier looks ahead and is silent.

     At Bree's Mansion, Bree is silent, as she looks through photos, and cries as the door opens and turns to see her Uncle, as Frank laughs "Might be cold but was worried about you about this trial coming." Bree runs to his arms, and cries "How could my Mother be like this? How? Is this really what I have and a sometime Father?" Frank reminds his Niece "You've got me, and Aunt Beth and Aunt Ava, and so many people. Can you do this?" Bree yells "Yes! I wish people would stop asking that!" Frank reminds her "Well not everyday does a Daughter go to the courtroom to send her Mother to Prison for murdering her other Daughter, and your little Sister." Bree tells her Uncle "Dad's doing some research on that but otherwise she needs to pay and I see the light now. Maybe Xavier was right all along." Frank hugs his Niece, and laughs humbly "Well sometimes he does. And most times he's just an asshole like my Daddy was." Bree laughs, and goes "I needed to do that." Frank asks "Do?" Bree answers "Laugh." Frank looks around, and asks his Niece "Since Paul and the kids moved in with Bobby, how about you just come stay with me at the Farm?" Bree sighs as she stares at her paperwork "But with all this stuff to do to prepare to send my Mom to Lexington Women's Prison.." Frank asks "Do I really need to ask you again?" Bree takes a deep breath, and walks up to her Uncle, and tells him fighting tears "You are the only parent besides Grandma Ruth I've ever known.. I love you..." Frank holds Bree in his arms, as he tells her "And you will always be my favorite girl."

     Meanwhile at Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Wade greets his Wife, as they are naked and Bridget tells her Husband "I love it that the evil old bitch is staying in her old bloody manor." Wade quips "And you hate this place and look at the nice thing she did for us. She has a life besides tormenting you. Now want to get back to where we were?" Wade and Bridget begin to have sex, as the door opens, and Angelica looks into the living room, and tells her Grandson and his Wife "Don't let my presence stop you from enjoying a blue collar whore's street tricks." Bridget snaps, walking up to Angelica covering herself with a sheet "How about you go back home to South America? Back to the place you and your family kill for royalty and use sick games to.." Wade yells at his Wife "Stop fighting with Grandmother" Angelica heads to the stairway, as she looks at her watch, and tells Wade "She is testing my kindness." Bridget laughs with anger "What kindness?" Angelica walks up to her and answers "The kind of kindness and respect to someone we know that keeps me from doing a select few things to you to forever damage you. Such as when you were cut up in that jail by Sully? And then the money I gave Wade to.." Wade pulls up a sheet, and gets up and yells at his Wife and Grandmother "Enough!" Angelica smiles to Wade, and tells her Grandson "I'm going to my room and take a sedative. Goodnight my sweet prince." Angelica turns to Bridget, and goes "Hope you enjoy my present to you tomorrow. Consider it a late Christmas." Angelica walks upstairs, as Bridget takes a deep breath, and warns Wade "I've had enough with this arrangement. Stop kissing her ass!" Wade quickly tells his Wife with frustration "Let's go to our separate rooms and call this a night." Both only covering their bodies with sheets, heads to their separate bedrooms. Upstairs, Angelica sends a text, with a smile, as she types "And hope you had a Merry Christmas to you as well dear. I promise not to kill the little whore and if I do, then I'll let you take Wade lol." She quickly gets a response, saying "Haha Santiago. And you know I would too."

     At Sully's new Mansion near Hell Hill, Henry sits in the living room, as he drinks from his bottle of liquor, as Sully and Ruthie walks inside, and Sully quips to her boyfriend "Looks like you are enjoying Daddy's gift he gave you for Christmas." Henry yells "Xavier Jackson is a hell of a man! This is some high dollar shit he gave me for Christmas for working on that Storm Shelter." Ruthie takes a deep breath, as she tells her Mother "I'm going upstairs for the evening Mom." Sully hugs her Daughter, as Ruthie heads to her room, as Sully asks Henry "So when are you going to follow through on your promise to come to family gatherings?" Henry, in a drunken tone, slurs "When Leigh stops judging me. Snooty ass bitch. The old lady Ciarra I think, well her too." Sully tells him "They are just overprotective and Aunt Ciarra has always been very private but warm and loving towards me and my family, and she said she thinks you are a good man and happy for us. Something Mom hasn't said." Henry laughs "Well score one for Ms. Sullivan!" Sully sits next to Henry, and looks at the bottle he drinks from, and sighs with a smile "That's the family special moonshine you know. Only few get a bottle. From my Great-Grandpa B.R. Jackson's private stash hidden somewhere at Hell Hill. And I think Daddy likely told you the rest." Henry nods, and kisses Sully, as she tells him "I'm going to talk to my Daughter and call my Mother. You just enjoy yourself." Henry drinks, as Sully goes to Ruthie's bedroom, as she writes in her diary "I'm scared for my family."

    Back at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth, Ciarra, Xavier, and Leigh sits in the living room, as Beth asks her Son "So Gracie's staying in Washington for Christmas?" Leigh snides "Who'd want to come back to a home where your Father plays favorites." Xavier grows angry, as Ciarra reminds Leigh "He did help Faye steal my SUV. Although my sweet nephew Xavier bought me a car, I understand his hurt." Beth adds "And helping that bitch that nearly killed Frank and letting her Mother go nearly did it for me." Leigh yells "Brock is a good kid. He has a big heart and made mistakes everyone!" Xavier gets up and storms out, as Beth rolls her eyes, as Leigh asks her Mother In Law "And are you going to take up for him like you always do Beth?" Beth warns her Daughter In Law "You're turning into a bitch. I like that Henry Sully is seeing, and I understand my Son, and apparently better than you." Outside, Xavier is on the phone, as he tells someone on the other line "She's doing what? You got to be shitting me. Seriously?" Xavier is silent, as his eyes begin to turn red, and tells the person on the other line "Meet me in my office tomorrow morning and we will fix that shit!" Xavier hangs up, and goes back inside, as he tells Leigh "I'm ready to call it a night. I'm glad Christmas is over!" Leigh snarls, as Beth glares at Leigh, as Ciarra has went to bed for the night "I'm tired of hearing your Mother cover for your errors in parenting!" Beth defensively yells at Leigh "My Son raised Sully as a single Father when we all thought you'd been killed, and he's been amazing to the twins as well!" Leigh asks her Husband "Does it make you happy Mommy here defends you?" Xavier coldly and quietly murmurs "We're going home. Let's Go." Xavier and Leigh storms out, as Leigh tells Xavier "You will regret what you're doing to our Son." Xavier tells his Wife in a silent tone "Shut the hell up. I've heard all I want from you." Beth stands at the door, as she watches, and shakes her head and sends a text to Brock, who lays on a couch, as the text reads "Get your shit together and make peace with your Father or Gram's kicking your ass." Brock is silent, as rage fills his eyes.

     As night's fallen upon Adam's Landing, at Whispering Hills, Jack sits in the living room, as Ava tells her Son "Tomorrow my damn Sister's going to get her just due and I'm nailing her ass to the wall!" Jack sighs "Mom, I hope you're ready to relive the past when you are called up to testify." Ava quips "Oh I've been waiting for this since a couple months before you were born and people didn't send texts instead of calling their Mothers." Jack tells his Mother "Well Samantha and I have decided to keep this from J.J.. He's too emotional and after he found your guest for Aunt Beth.." Ava sighs "Jack, just shut the hell up about it and go home for the night. I'm ready to have my shot and pass out." Jack warns "Another thing Mom, this glass you're constantly holding's really bothering me and I think.." Ava yells "Go home!" Jack walks out, as Ava locks the door, and takes a drink of liquor and snarls "I don't have a damn problem except for my Son's Wife trying to acting all perfect and judging me. Screw her, and if Jack wants to be whipped, hell screw him too." At The Farm, Frank walks inside, as he tells Bree "Tomorrow Cale, Allison, and Ginny's returning from the Beach." Bree sighs with a distant tone "Good for them. Tomorrow I stand before a judge I've never met and attempt to send my Mother away forever." Bree gets emotional, as she yells with anger "What happened to her?" Frank holds his Niece, and they sit on the couch, as he tells her gently "She's always been like this. When she met Roger and got all that work done, then she really let it go to her head. Wasn't for your Mama Bree, Your Grandparents wouldn't of divorced." Bree asks "When Ava was raped?" Frank nods, and goes "Jamie deserves whatever that judge decides and you just do your job and try and forget she's your Mother." Bree tells her Uncle "I'm just an orphan now. Jamie will get what she deserves." Frank hugs Bree, and tells her "Rest up now. You have a big day ahead tomorrow." Frank heads to his bedroom, as he sends a text to Beth, that reads "We need to be there for Bree. She's so down and it's really hurting me." Beth responds "I know the judge Bobby picked. She's going away for a long damn time! I promise that!" At the ALPD, in a cell, Jamie sits, as Roger stands on the other side, and asks "Ready for your close up tomorrow?" Jamie warns her Husband "Just know if I am free I'm going after you ALL! All of you bastards!" Roger quips "Good luck whore. And here's a photo to keep you happy dear." Roger hands a photo to his Wife, as he says to himself "Now you'll know the feeling you sad pathetic whore." Jamie looks at the photo, as rage fills her eyes, and she coldly goes "That's a mistake you'll pay for you selfish bitch."

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 6: The Fuel For War

    Inside the private waiting area in the ICU of City Hospital, Ava stands next to Beth, as she asks Jamie "So you are trying to take over the rightful call of Cale? I knew you were low, but this really, REALLY goes too far." Jamie yells at Ava and Beth, who is silent, with rage in her eyes "Frank Jackson is the only member of my family who loves me!" Beth screams "Nobody else does you whore! You opportunistic, selfish bitch you think anybody gives a shit about you!" Ava stops Beth, as she raises her hand in a fist, and goes "Now Beth we're letting her win. Let's be rational." Outside the room, Cale, Allison, and Ginny hear the argument inside, as Cale tells his Wife and Daughter "Jamie doesn't have the say, and nor does my Sister! If my Dad dies, I will kill Faye!" Cale gets emotional and punches the wall in anger, as Terrance walks down the hall, and tells him "I will bend the rules because of our family connections, and my Mama's on her way now." Cale thanks Terrance, as he tells him "Get Beth, and save my Dad!" Terrance opens the door, as Jamie is pinned to the ground, as Beth holds a knife to her Cousin's throat, as Ava sits back, as Jamie yells for help, and Beth slaps Jamie across the face, and snaps "Shut up and do what I've told you. Get out of here and never come back!" Jamie smiles "Never bitch. Not while Frank battles for his life!" Ava flicks her lighter, and warns her Sister "Remember that fire you were caught in that time. Daddy's old cottage? You sexing Chant.." Jamie screams for help, as Terrance silently stands at the door, and then goes "Can I see you outside Beth?" Beth glares at Jamie, as she walks into the hallway, and Ava asks her Sister "And where's Bree? Called the other Daughter yet?" Jamie's eyes turn red, as Ava quips "Oh, I think she was killed. Whored herself to death." Ava laughs, as Jamie slaps her Sister, and they begin to fight. In the hallway, Keisha walks up, and hands a file to Beth, as she reads it, and Cale, Allison, and Ginny stand with her, as she asks them "Where's Bree?" Outside, Country tells his Daughter "You know where I am Bree. Daddy loves you." Bree looks at her Father, and tells him "Thank you for telling me." Bree stands at the door, and has a thought, and makes a phone call.

    At Class, Bridget sits inside her office, as Wade walks inside, and asks his Wife "So how's your day been dear?" Bridget smiles "I haven't seen your Grandmother, so that's a good thing." Wade sighs "Give her a chance..." Bridget tells her Husband point blank "I already have, and I can't do anymore. She's evil." Wade sighs, and tells her "She's my Grandmother, and you know what my family means to me. Even my damn Brother Jared." Bridget asks her Husband "So I take it from the bruises the two of you got in a fight." Wade nods, as Bridget kisses him, and goes "Now just relax, and let's enjoy the two of us not having any interruptions for the rest of the day, as they have sex in her office. Outside, Sully arrives, and Xavier looks over at his Daughter, as he asks "Want me to go in there with you?" Sully tells her Father "Go help Grandma with Jamie. And you and Henry get to know one another. Tell Mom I'll be home tonight." Xavier nods, and reminds her "I'll be at my office." Sully walks inside, and heads towards Bridget's office.

    At The Sunset Club, Leigh walks inside, as Jared sits at the bar, and walks up to his former Mother In Law, and asks "Did you just have my kids with you and I not know? I am their Dad." Leigh asks "Where were you on Ruthie's birthday last year? Where were you when Cain got sick? What a Dad you are Jared. You used to be a good man, and you sold your soul to Roger Lord, and slept with Sully's Cousin, and her Aunt! You are worthless now. And stay away from them if you know what's best for you." Jared yells "I'm going to their room!" Leigh warns Jared "I will call X if you try me Jared." Jared asks Leigh "Is Sully up there?" Leigh tells him in a cold tone "That's none of your business. Stay away from her and her children!" Leigh walks out, as Jared makes a phone call, and shakes his head in frustration, as he says to himself "Could this day get any worse?" Leigh sits on the patio, and has a drink, as Angelica shows up, and asks Leigh "So everything is safe with Sully's return?" Leigh asks Angelica "How did you know that?" Angelica smiles "Don't worry about it Leigh. I am an old lady, and Sully impresses me though she hates me. I love it though. She is her Father's Daughter, and Jamie owes me." Leigh asks Angelica with a smile "What do you know that would make Roger Lord give up Class so easily to Sully?" Angelica shakes her head, and goes "That's between he and I Leigh. And now I have to go back home and relax and await Bridget's return for my daily fun with Wade's Wife." Leigh takes a deep breath, and asks Angelica "And how do you tolerate Wade Issac?" Angelica answers "He and Jared are my Grandsons. Wade could and will do better and that's on blood." Angelica leaves, as Leigh looks inside the bar, and sees Jared, and leaves her tab, and leaves, as Jared has watched them, and also leaves, heading to Jackson Inc.

      Meanwhile at The Farm, Brock arrives, as Faye awaits him, as he asks her "So where do you wanna go?" Faye looks at Brock, and tells him "J.J. came by here and told me something." Brock warns his Cousin boldly "Look now, I am already on my Dad's shit list, and my Gram.." Faye slurs "Your Gram is a bitch! I hate her! And we're going to see why she's been to Aunt Ava's so much!" Brock sighs "Likely J.J. and his imagination. He is autistic." Faye laughs "He's weird." Brock and Faye heads to Whispering Hills, Brock driving Ciarra's SUV without a license. At Jack and Samantha's Home at Whispering Hills, Samantha looks at J.J., as he tells his Mother with fear "I'm scared Mama. I think Grandma's turned evil!" Samantha hugs her Son, as he's frightened, and the door opens, as Jack walks inside, and tells his Wife "Well Sully is back, and I have the rest of the day off." Samantha looks at J.J., as Jack asks his Son "What's wrong? Did anyone upset you?" J.J. stumbles upon his words, and runs to his room, and Samantha tells him "Your Mother has a guest tied up in the basement, and he said she said something she shouldn't have to our Son! He's sensitive Jack. And there's a damn reason there's a Storm Shelter at Hell Hill!" Jack hugs his Wife, and tells her "When I see Mom, I'll discuss it with her. She's definitely changed. I think she may be moving on, but turning dark again like when she set Jamie's old place on fire years ago." Samantha tells him with sadness in her voice "We need to help her." Jack tells his Wife "I'm about to head down to City Hospital and check up. With Jamie, Aunt Beth, and my Mom, there's bound to be a fight." Jack leaves, as Samantha walks into her Son's room, and holds him, as he shakes with fear and panic over his discovery in Ava's basement.

      Back at City Hospital, Willie arrives, as Aretha has followed, and Terrance tells his Mother and Sister "Beth's back in the ICU right now meeting with Barbara Arp on whether or not he's a success." Willie hears a scream in the Waiting Area, and asks "So what is going on in there? Jamie and Ava don't need to be in the same room." Aretha nods, and walks inside, as Ava screams at her Sister "I know your damn story about that whore you had with Russell, and glad the son of a bitch is dead and the woman that killed his ass can save my full blooded Brother!" Jamie runs up to her Sister, as Aretha jumps in the middle, and yells "Alright! What in the hell is going on?" Jamie snaps at Aretha "None of your damn business!" Ava tells her Best Friend "Jamie is over Frank's life it seems. And I just called Bobby but got no answer." Willie walks inside, and tells Ava and Jamie "Now the two of you pull together for Frank. I'm staying here to keep the peace, and I know your Mama would want me to knowing the chances." Ava hugs Willie, as Jamie starts to cry, and Aretha snarks "Oh shut up with it. You're just waiting to cash in." Outside, Cale returns, as he tells Terrance "Allison and Ginny went to check on Faye. She's not ever living this down, and Bree said she had something to take care of, but supports my decision." Terrance and Cale walk into Frank's room in the ICU, as Barbara looks at them, as Beth cries, and goes "We need a heart and fast! I called Keisha to check for one at the research center." Cale looks at Beth, as she holds him, and whispers "We'll find him a heart Cale. And Faye will no longer be a damn problem." Barbara watches, and looks at Frank, with a tear in her eye, as Terrance asks Barbara "Thinking of something?" Barbara tells him "It's a hard job we do saving lives. It's like gambling, you are never promised that you'll save someone's life." Terrance nods in agreement, as Beth tells Cale "He needs a transplant or he won't make it." Cale cries, and Beth and Barbara assures him "We will save him."

     At Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Angelica and Carver are inside her bedroom, as they undress each other, as Angelica seductively tells Carver "I have the handcuffs." The doorbell rings, as Angelica yells "Somebody that works here can get that!" Angelica puts on a robe, and cuffs Carver to the bedpost, and kisses him, as she tells him "I love these dates." Carver smiles back, as Angelica walks downstairs, and answers the door, as Bree and Country are inside, and Bree asks Angelica point blank "What do you know about my Mother?" Angelica sighs "Oh the whore we call Jamie Lord, well used to be." Bree pulls out a photo, and asks Angelica, as Country stands by his Daughter "Do you know about this?" Angelica looks at the photo, and tells Bree "Looks like we have a common ambition in life now. And presently I want to go upstairs and do my part." Angelica shows Bree and Country to the door, as Bree asks her Father "What do we do next?" Country tells his Daughter "You let me go back to my room..." Bree tells him "Go to my house Dad. And I am going to see Paul, and figure something out." Country hugs Bree, as they go their separate ways. Inside, Angelica laughs to herself "Oh Carver you don't know what I have for you." Angelica walks upstairs, as she walks into her bedroom, and tells Carver "My day has been made, and now it's going to get even better, dropping her robe, as Carver's jaw drops, and he goes "You...had..." Angelica smiles "Since you're getting married and all..." Carver grows silent, as Angelica warns him "We're about to play a game, and if you lose, then I may have a story to sell to Aretha."

     At Jackson Inc, Xavier and Henry sits at Xavier's desk, as Henry laughs "Sayyid told me about the farmhouse kill as he called it. Sully doesn't talk too much about those things, though I've gotten her to talk to me some since meeting her." Xavier asks Henry "So how do you feel about being a Father to my Grandchildren? I would personally feel better if Jared was out of the picture myself." Henry nods, as he snarls "I've got something waiting for him. I'm going to find that farmhouse." Xavier puts his hands up, and warns Henry "Don't kill him. That'd hurt my Princess, he was her first love, and the father to Ruthie and Cain biologically, and it'd hurt Ruthie I know." Henry asks Xavier "But he's never there for either of them. What's the use keeping him around? I'd like to light up his ass." Jared walks inside Xavier's office, as he's overheard, and asks Henry "So you're dating Sully and my Former Father In Law and mentor in business is talking to you about taking my kids from me. Not going to happen!" Xavier takes a deep breath, as Henry quips "So you are the sperm donor as Cain calls you." Jared snaps at Henry "I know what you do for a living Jennings. And did Xavier hire you as well since Country's been in South America?" Xavier warns his former Son In Law "Get the hell out of here before I turn my head and allow Henry to meet you." Henry's hands bawl into fists, as he warns Jared "I used to be a boxer." Jared laughs, and quips "And now graduated to using guns I take it? Or was that the way you got into Lexington Prison?" Henry grows angry, and pulls a knife, as Jared yells at his Father In Law in rage "You are more willing to let this psycho be around my kids than me?" Xavier pulls his Colt 45, and warns his Former Son In Law "Overstayed your welcome. Now get out before I destroy you forever." Jared laughs "Try me. Wade and I control HaleCorp, and we're coming after you!" Jared glares at Henry, as he storms out, and Henry asks Xavier "Want me to go jump him later?" Xavier laughs "Nah. He's got one more time and then we'll discuss that.

      At City Hospital, in the Private Waiting Room inside the ICU, Ava, Cale, Allison, and Jamie sits silently, as Willie and Aretha sits inside also, as Willie asks "Where's Faye?" Jamie sighs "Likely heartbroken her Daddy may be dying. He did say he wasn't into anymore surgeries! Cale's blood boils, as he turns to his Aunt, and asks "Are you wanting my Dad to die Jamie?" Ava answers in a snarky tone "She's needing some money likely." Jamie glares at Ava, as Aretha warns them "Now he may not make it and the two of you need to make a truce." Ava turns to her lifelong friend and snaps "What? And what about truces? Willie is angry with Sayyid over a tragic accident everyone knows he did not do." Jamie murmurs "Bullshit." Willie is silent, in thought, and Cale yells "My Dad is fighting for his life and his heart has had some breaks in it over the years and that damn Sister of mine hasn't helped none!" Ava walks over to her Nephew, as she and Allison hugs him as he cries, and Jamie boldly tells everyone "Well I know what is legal and I call the shots." In Frank's Room, Beth is alone with Frank as he's on life support, and Beth holds his hand, and in tears, goes "Good job. You know you really are a good man, just flawed. I wish we were in here because you were burning up the road and flipping cars. I'd then come in and doctor you up and then out for a sundae at the drive-in outside town." Terrance and Barbara stands outside the room, as Keisha returns, and tells them "We have none. Let's keep him stable the rest of the night and I'll call some other hospitals in the area." Barbara thanks her, as Terrance is silent and watches Beth, as she sits next to her former Husband, and speaks to him gently, and tells Barbara "I don't like this. She's either has already or about to have a so called guest in this ICU I bet." Barbara asks "What do you mean?" Terrance takes a deep breath, as he goes "She's gonna make someone pay with their life if he doesn't make it and knowing her all these years, that's a certain." Barbara rolls her eyes, and says to herself "She has always had a fiery side, even in Medical School."
  
      At Class, Bridget walks around her office, as she puts back on her clothes, and tells her Husband, as he does the same "Sex and now we know Roger has something in mind for you." Wade quips "I know what's going on, but I am sure he wouldn't risk his name and reputation for my Grandmother." Bridget laughs in disagreement "I wouldn't be so sure Wade. She does have connections." Wade nods, and kisses his Wife, as he tells her "And once again you would be right." The door opens, as Wade and Bridget turn their heads, and Sully laughs with disgust "Look who's in my office.. A whore and a snake. Helping Aunt Jamie destroy my store Bridget?" Bridget gasps "Uh, you aren't supposed to be here." Wade asks Sully "Don't try anything to my Wife or I'll call the ALPD." Sully laughs, and responds in a cold tone "I don't give a shit Wade, and I am your boss for now Bridget. But now you are fired." Bridget warns "That's Mrs. Lord's call." Sully pulls out a razor, and smiles "Wanna say that one again?" Wade pulls out his phone and Sully yells "Drop the damn phone and just listen. I have my deed, and this is mine. Jamie can kiss my ass, and so can you. Now get out before I have you thrown the hell out by my new love. He would enjoy it." Wade looks at his Wife, and tells Bridget "Let's just leave. I think my Grandmother has something in this. Let's just go." Bridget is silent, as she turns and glares at Sully, as she leaves with her Husband, and Sully walks around, and says to herself "Home sweet home."
    
      At Whispering Hills, Brock and Faye stand at Ava's basement door, as they try to break the lock. Faye tells her Cousin "I seen someone in there!" Brock sighs "Me too." Brock looks around, and finds a crowbar, and smashes a window, as they cautiously enter into their Aunt's home, and walks into the kitchen, where Faye grabs a bottle of vodka, as Brock opens the basement door. Brock and Faye slowly walks down the stairs as someone yells "Is someone here? Please be help! They want to kill me!" The woman screams, as Brock and Faye rush to her side, as Faye takes a deep breath, and asks "What's your name?" The woman answers "Casey." Faye cries "Mommy?" Brock steps back, as his phone rings. At Bree's Mansion, Paul walks inside, as Bree and Country are in the living room and Country tells his Daughter "X hired Henry Jennings to work for him, and I knew him too and he could track her down." Bree tells her Father, as Paul walks over and consoles his former Sister In Law "I will find my Sister, and if she isn't alive, nor will be my Mom. I've had it! Damnit.. And Uncle Frank having a heart attack that could be it for him..." Paul holds Bree, and consoles her, as Country tells them with a serious tone "I will make damn sure I make things right with X when I take care of this problem." At Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Wade and Bridget return, as Carver walks downstairs and quickly leaves, and Angelica walks downstairs and hugs her Grandson, and snarks "Couldn't find a rich girl?" Bridget holds her temper, as Wade sighs "Grandmother why was Carver here?" Angelica smiles "That's strictly for me to know Grandson. Now I need to make a strong drink after that." Bridget turns to her Husband and asks "Can she move please. This is too much." Wade turns to his Wife, with frustration growing in his eyes, and snarls "For the last damn time. My family is my world and she helped me get my Grandfather's company and showed me I was somebody instead of white trash! Now drop it or you get out!" Bridget snaps "Seriously Wade?" Angelica walks inside, and snaps at Bridget "Watch your tone you blue collar whore." Bridget storms out, as Wade looks at his Grandmother as both are silent.

      At City Hospital, Jack arrives, as Ava, Cale, and Allison sit inside the private waiting area, as they hear Jamie scream at the nurse's desk "Let me see my Brother!" Ava quips "Typical Jamie. If it's a male, she'll lead him to an empty room." Aretha walks back inside, and tells everyone "Mama went to see Uncle Clem." Ava tells Aretha "It's sad we seem to get together when these things happen instead of some daylight." Jack tells his Mother "Well Mom, you got your Son, and Grandson who worships the ground you walk on." Ava hugs Jack, and goes "And I love all of you. I want my Brother well again. Frank and I never been exactly close, but he's my big brother." Cale assures his Aunt, Allison, and Ginny, as she returns walks inside "Aunt Beth will make sure he will be fine and you know that!" The family hugs, as Aretha sees Terrance and asks her Brother "So what's up?" Terrance sighs "Life support right now is the only thing keeping him alive." Aretha and Terrance hugs, as they say to each other "Beth won't be the same if something happens to Frank." Inside Frank's Room, Beth sits next to Frank, as she rubs his head, as the nurse tests his vitals and gives a wink to Beth, as she says to him "All well for now and I will find you a heart!"

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 5: Freefall Into Darkness

     At The Farm, Faye looks at her Father, and takes a shot of liquor; as Frank screams to his Daughter in pain, clutching his chest in the floor "Damnit do something!" Faye sits back, and asks him "So let's talk about this will I found." At Cale and Allison's Home, Allison sits in the living room, as her Husband calls, as Cale's at FJR, and asks his Wife "Is Dad home?" Allison looks out of the window, and answers "Looks like it." Cale tells his Wife "Go check on him. Bree's on her way." Allison hangs up, as she walks to her Father In Law's home. Meanwhile Bree's on the interstate, as her phone rings, and Bree sighs "What do you want now? I am busy." Country tells his Daughter, as he sits in his apartment over The Inn "Paul called me and said Sully's on her way back. And.." Bree yells "Damn! He called you! Why? What in the hell would he do to call you?" Country tells Bree "I owe a debt to X Bree. And I know the truth about your Sister." Bree, as she turns into Frank's driveway, stops her car, and goes "Well, wanna tell me now? Or I'll have you arrested and free room and board." Country asks "Well where are you?" Bree answers "At Uncle Frank's." Country hangs up, as Bree pulls up, and is silent for a moment, and thinks of her Mother, and their confrontation earlier, as Bree says to herself "Never believed you would go this low Mom."
 
    At Whispering Hills, in Ava's basement, Beth walks around the chair, as she pulls the tape off the person's mouth, as they snarl "So now you want to make nice. In your sick twisted way huh you demented bitch!" Beth slaps the person fiercely across the face, and snaps "Bitch watch your mouth in front of me if you even want to leave this basement alive." The woman glares at Beth, as she pulls out a pistol, as Ava has went upstairs, where J.J. knocks on the door, and Ava yells into the basement "Smoke one Beth and chill for a minute!" Ava answers, and hugs her Grandson, as he sits down, and asks his Grandmother "So who is this woman?" J.J. hands his phone to her, as Ava looks, and goes "A whore that pulled some stunts on our family. Slept. Aborted. Slept. And then helped one try to destroy us." Ava looks at some more photos, and gasps "My God J.J.! What are you doing with Jack's phone?" J.J. is quiet, as he looks down, and gets upset, as Ava quickly holds him, and tells him gently "It's ok. Just go back and find your phone. And I'll come up there later." Ava hugs him, as J.J. leaves, and Ava walks into the basement, as Ava yells at Beth "I'll be gone for awhile. Make sure to save the lighter fluid." Beth laughs "Sure thing!" The woman tied in the chair asks "So who else's about to join this sick game you're playing?" Beth laughs "Anyone you want it to be. And you might just get your wish in this basement." Beth reads a text, as she looks at the Woman, as her tone changes, and Beth snarls "The two of you may just die together in this damn basement if.." Beth runs out, as she calls Bree, as she's at The Farm, and screams "He's barely hanging on!" Beth yells "I'm on my way Bree! And give him aspirin." Bree hangs up, and opens her purse, as she tells her Uncle, holding him in her arms, as he's barely alert "Take these. Aunt Beth's coming and 911. Please hang on!" Bree fights tears, as she tends to her Uncle.

      At HaleCorp, Wade sits inside his office, as Jared walks inside, and Wade quips to his Brother "Took you long enough to walk across the hall." Jared snaps at Wade "I ordered you to meet me!" Wade sits back at his desk, and in a cocky tone, asks Jared "What do you think of my custom-made desk dear brother?" Jared warns Wade "I don't know what you and Grandmother are plotting together against me. I will kill you for my children!" Wade laughs "Now Jared. What would our dear Grandmother put inside your mind to think I am evil? I would never harm family. I am a businessman, not Xavier Jackson." Jared adds "But the ass-kisser of the devil." Wade yells "I have had enough of you bashing our Grandmother Jared." Jared opens his arms, and asks Wade "Come on and try me!" Wade sits back, and motions for Jared to leave, and slowly warns him "You're not doing yourself any favors. I'm beginning to wonder about what sleeping with the whores of Adam's Landing did to you?" Jared snaps "So that would include Bridget?" Wade grows angry, and a fight erupts inside Wade's office, as Wade and Jared begin to punch each other, as Wade warns Jared "Shouldn't have talked about Bridget like that Jared. I know something you wish I like didn't know." Jared grabs Wade, and asks "And what might that be you bastard?" Wade snarls "Bridget aborted your child after college!" Jared backs up, and is silent, as Wade asks "Anymore questions? Or are we going to play by my rules?" Jared walks out, and screams in anger, as he leaves HaleCorp with fury in his eyes. Back in Wade's office, Wade calls his secetary, and tells her "Send the clean up in here to clean my office. My Brother went crazy in here." Wade hangs up, as he sits back, and says "Don't try me Jared. That's my card for your ass."

      Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Jack sits in his office, as Samantha arrives, and Jack asks his Wife "Where's J.J?" Samantha tells her Husband "He's back home. Wanted to see if Ava was home. I am worried about how she'd act around him Jack. She's really hitting that bottle." Jack assures her "Baby, my Mother may lash out at us, but she knows he's autistic, and has always been close with him." Samantha hugs Jack, as they kiss, and she asks him seductively "Are there anyone around like Xavier? Javon?" Jack shakes his head, and answers "Xavier's on his way to the airport. Javon's spending some time with Willie." Samantha unbuttons her Husband's shirt, and tells him "I want you Jackson Hale." Jack undresses his Wife, as they begin to make love inside his office on the floor. Outside, Rachel stands in the lobby, as a guard warns her "I will call the ALPD if you don't leave right now!" Rachel glares at the guard, and tells him with disgust "I wasn't here to see your boss. I was here to see an old friend." Rachel walks out, as the guard watches her.

    At City Hospital, Willie sits inside Terrance's office, as she waits for her Son, and says to herself "Well this is what I get for not calling ahead." Eve walks inside, and tears begin to fall from her eyes, as Willie asks her with frustration "Here to sell me on my Brother's changed and that bullshit again? Forget it! The man killed my two Grandsons!" Eve yells "Damnit how many times do you need to be told it was an accident! And Clem is sick! He needs you and you need him." Willie heads to the door, and snarks "I know that Olivia's in Southpoint Beach, so he's out of luck here for help." Willie storms out, as Eve takes a deep breath, and sends a text, saying "I don't know if she's going to ever forgive you." Meanwhile in the ER, Beth has arrived, as Terrance greets her, and Beth yells at the staff "Get ready immediately for Frank's arrival. He's had a major heart attack. He's on his way here." Meanwhile Bree drives behind the Ambulance, as she follows it to City Hospital, and Bree has another thought, and keeps looking ahead, as they arrive, and Bree receives a text, as she parks, and reads it, as she says to herself "I'm not scared to take you down bitch."

    Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Jamie and Bridget has drinks, as Bridget tells Jamie "I think Class is in better hands with you than Sully. Sully..." Jamie sighs "Bridget, whatever happened between you and Sully has nothing on what I've got for her." Suddenly, Bridget and Jamie turn, as Angelica walks up, and quips "Well two people I detest to run into." Bridget snarls to her Husband's Grandmother "Don't dare begin your sick games since we're back you evil bitch." Jamie is meanwhile silent, as Angelica asks Jamie "So how are our Grandchildren you withered whore?" Jamie yells "I owe you nothing! And I won't tell you nothing about my Daughter's children!" Angelica smiles, and goes "I keep up with things, and I know you are on a path to destruction. I'll sit back and watch the show." Angelica walks away, as Bridget yells for the server, and goes "I need a very strong drink." Jamie adds "Double." The server walks away, and Jamie warns Bridget "She's plotting something. I wouldn't be surprised if she helped Sully." Bridget quips "Psychos like them do tend to flock together."

    At The Farm, Brock arrives, as he asks his Cousin "Do you have a desire to piss of my Gram or something? That's not cool at all." Faye, sitting in her Father's recliner, smoking a joint, responds with joy "I inherit everything Brock. And I'll be set for life." Brock rolls his eyes, and warns Faye "I've never had any problems with Uncle Frank. You know how our family is. I hope you've got a hell of an alibi." Faye takes a deep breath, as she warns her Cousin "I hope you keep our little visit private. I'm leaving town." The door opens, as Allison walks inside, and tells Brock "You need to leave." Brock walks out, and Allison looks at her Husband's Sister, and asks her point blank "Aren't you supposed to be at rehab?" Faye snaps to her Sister In Law "You ain't my Mother you stuck up bitch." Allison gets the whiff of the marijuana, and asks "Where did you get weed?" Faye snaps in a cocky tone "And I told you that you are NOT my MOTHER.." Allison's phone rings, and walks outside, as she answers it. Cale, at City Hospital, asks his Wife "Dad's not well." Allison is silent, as she tells her Husband "Well appears to me that your little Sister's here getting high and no care at all for Frank." Cale, sitting in the waiting room at City Hospital, takes a deep breath, with anger in his eyes, and tells his Wife "Stay there. And keep her there." Allison answers "I'll do that.", and hangs up. Inside, Faye packs a suitcase, as Allison walks inside, and sends a text to her Daughter, and tells Ginny "Grandpa's had a massive heart attack. Meet me at The Farm to reign in this brat." Unknown to everyone, in the Nursery, Country sits inside, as he loads a gun, and says to himself "I'm about to prove my loyalty to X. Once and for all."

     Back at Jackson Inc, Javon walks inside, as he heads to his office, saying to himself "It's quiet in here today. Good time to check those reports." Javon walks into his office, as Bobby's inside, and Javon asks him "What are you doing here Mayor Whitten?" Bobby asks Javon "I know you've been here for a few years now, so when it's quiet like this.." Javon rolls his eyes, and sighs "Hell Hill comes alive." Bobby nods, and adds "Frank Jackson's in City Hospital right now. Sully's returning home today. And I haven't heard anything from Beth." Javon sits back, and takes a deep breath, as he asks Bobby "So what are you implying?" Bobby tells him "You are a good young man Javon. Do me a personal favor." Javon nods, and asks "What would you like for me to do?" Bobby answers "Keep doing what you're doing. If Jamie tries anything, call me." Bobby leaves, as Javon sits back, and calls Xavier, but to no answer.

    At The Lord Estate, Roger sits in his den, as Carver fills him in on events, and Roger sits back, and takes a drink, and warns him "I want you to make damn certain Aretha isn't to know of my plans. I've had enough of Jamie's shit! She is using me, and I am about to clean her Mansion and let Angelica deal with her!" Carver sighs "An everyday phone call I get from her." Roger yells to his friend and right-hand man "And she now has something we know she will offer her Grandson to hold on me." Carver reminds him "Know she and I have always had an understanding." Roger asks "And how will it work once you marry Aretha?" Carver laughs "Ever heard of a business trip?" Roger laughs, with a hidden anger inside, as Carver looks at his watch, and tells his boss "Time to go see the woman I love." Roger nods, as he leaves, and laughs to himself "And you'll get yours too Carver. My Wife's about to help you be destroyed. Sayyid was right about you."

     Back at City Hospital, In a private hospital room, Bree walks inside with coffee, as Cale asks his Cousin "How would Aunt Beth feel if I killed that little bitch if something happens to my Dad?" Bree asks "Ever wondered if she isn't thinking the same way? I know awhile back she found her high, and let her have it. The ALPD was called, and of course, she was locked up overnight. No objections." Beth walks inside, as she looks towards her Niece and Nephew, and asks "Where's Allison and Ginny?" Cale is quiet, as he looks at his Cousin, and Bree looks back at him, as Beth asks "What in the hell is going on?" Cale sighs "Leave this one to me and save my Dad!" Beth asks "Did that little spawn of whore Casey escape again?" Cale nods, and Bree tells her Aunt "I think she caused it, and he was asking for his heart pill." Beth screams "THAT'S IT! That little snake ass bitch's going to regret this one as long as she breathes." Allison, and Ginny arrives, as Terrance enters the room, and asks everyone "We need to discuss who makes the call." Beth is silent, with dread and sadness, as she holds Cale and Bree tightly to her, as they hold onto Allison and Ginny, and Terrance goes "I'm ready to try, but his heart is weak, so is his body. Racing really has caught up to him." Beth snarls to herself, pacing, as Cale tells Terrance "He'd want to live." Jamie walks inside, as Beth screams "Who the hell called you?!?" Jamie snaps "I'm the one that pulls the plug bitch. Ever read the will?" Beth walks out, as does Bree, going separate ways, as Cale looks towards his Aunt, speechless, and slowly warns her "He's my Dad. And we will make a decision as soon as Beth comes back." Down the hall, Beth stands at the elevator, as she sends a text to Ava, who sits inside the basement at Whispering Hills, looks at the woman in the chair, and pours another glass of liquor, and slurs in a disgusted tone "Looks like I've reached that level. Better hope my Brother lives or you are a dead bitch." Bree, back at City Hospital, stands in an empty room, and looks around and checks her phone, and makes a phone call to her Father, and tells Country "Meet me at the Hospital? I think here's your last shot."

    At Jackson Inc, Jack buttons his shirt, as Samantha has returned to their home, as Ava walks inside, and asks her Son "Sex in the office? With your Wife? Or Rachel." Jack asks his Mother rolling his eyes "How did you know?" Ava sits down, lights a cigarette, and answers "Your Son picked up the wrong phone Jack. He doesn't need to know about that whore or the pain she's inflicted." Jack assures his Mother "I only love Samantha and never intend to hurt her. I told Rachel it was over. She was very understanding." Ava quips "Sounds like the bitch has something planned. I don't give a damn what she has tried to do to redeem herself in Sugar Creek, but I will kill her if she tries anything with you." Jack and Ava's phones beep, as they receive a text from Xavier, as Ava smiles, and Jack's eyes widen, and gets excited. Ava goes "So should we just hang around here?" Jack answers "If Jamie isn't having her followed." Ava gets up, and boldly goes "She won't harm the heir apparent to Jackson Inc. That shit is a damn fact!" Ava leaves, as she gets a phone call from Beth, and gasps, and slowly responds with anger "You're kidding Beth. Tell me you're kidding." Beth, in a private waiting area, tells her "Your Brother may not make it. Get here." Ava runs out, as she heads to City Hospital, as Jack's phone rings and he says "I'll let my Uncle know."
 
   On the runway at Adam's Landing International Airport, Xavier, Leigh, and Ciarra waits inside the lounge, as Ciarra tells her Great Nephew "I do think Brock needs some attention from you. I know it's hard." Xavier nods, as Leigh rolls her eyes, as they await Sully and her teenage Daughter Ruthie, and younger Brother Cain's return. Ciarra looks around, and tells them "I see the ALPD hasn't appeared. Or that guy Bree was telling me about." Roger walks up, as he asks "Am I the guy Ms. Sullivan?" Xavier gets up, and snaps "What in the hell brings you here you son of a bitch?" Roger smiles "The son of a bitch has a gift for your Daughter." Leigh's eyes fill with anger, as Ciarra is silent, and Xavier warns Roger, hand in pocket "If you want to try me today, you'll die right here. You and Jamie have done enough damage to our family!" Roger's tone changes, as he hands Xavier an envelope, and tells him "I see what I was warned about from Jared." Xavier asks "My Sister slept with Jared?" Ciarra gasps, as Leigh assures her "Remember who we're discussing." Ciarra sighs with disgust "A whore I sadly gave birth to." Roger tells Ciarra "She certainly meets all qualifications for whore of the century." All nod, as Xavier reads what he pulls from the envelope, and asks "Are you calling a truce with me?" Roger tells him "Not really. But this is legal, and she is going to pay for cheating on me. She'll be living in one of those rat holes over The Inn." All laugh, as Leigh screams "Here she comes!" Sully arrives, and runs to her Parents, as does a teenage Ruthie, and pre-teen Cain, as Ciarra hugs them, and Roger walks away and watches from a distance, as Xavier hands the envelope over to his Daughter, and smiles "Welcome home my Princess." Sully opens it, and cries tears of joy, as Roger watches, and walks away. Leigh tells her Daughter "Class is yours again thanks to Roger Lord." Sully tells her parents "My new love told me some things that changed my thoughts on things." A man walks off the plane, as Xavier goes "So you are the one I was told about from Loma Vista?" Henry Jennings tells Xavier "Yes sir Mr. Jackson. You are my hero." Xavier and his family has for now a happy reunion, as Xavier phone's on silent, as he gets repeated texts from his family regarding Frank. Back at Whispering Hills, outside Ava's basement door, J.J. walks around, as he hears a scream, and begins to unlock his Grandmother's basement door. At City Hospital, inside Frank's room in ICU, Terrance checks Frank's vitals, as a nurse asks "Dr. Evans?" Terrance pulls out his phone, as he sends a text to his Mother, telling Willie "I think Ava will need you. Frank may not make it." In the private waiting area, Cale and Allison stands by Beth, as Jamie yells at her angrily "You had a child with my Daddy you whore! How in the hell could you think Frank would let you control his fate?" Beth snaps "Jamie, you are really beginning to piss me off!" Ava walks inside, and asks Beth "What is Scarface talking about?" Jamie rolls her eyes, as Cale yells "I'll make the call!" In another room, Country arrives, as he looks at Bree, as she looks at a photo, and cries uncontrollably, and holds onto her Father, as Country cries along with his Daughter.

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 4. New Flames

    The next day arrives in Adam's Landing, and at Hell Hill, Beth sits in the kitchen, as she tells her Daughter In Law "Faye will be leaving town today to that rehab in Valley Ridge. She doesn't know, but Frank agreed." Leigh asks her Mother In Law "I need to talk about a possible family war on the rise." Beth answers "Are you referring to who my Grandson calls a greedy bastard? My sweet Xavier?" Beth adds "Brock is a lot like Xavier's version of Frank. Think about it, and as for his twin, I don't know yet with Gracie. But we know damn well Sully is just like her Daddy!" Leigh nods in agreement, with concern on her face. Across the road, at Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the living room, as she makes coffee, and lights a cigarette, and hears a cough from her basement, and yells "Shut the hell up!" Xavier walks inside, and asks his Sister "Guests?" Ava smiles "For your Mother dear Brother." Xavier asks his Sister "So why can't you believe Winston is dead?" Ava tells her Brother "Because he took care of me." Xavier reminds her "Sis, you always have me, and Frank though he seems to have his hands full." Ava quips "I find it funny. Glad I don't have to deal with her." Xavier tells Ava "It's time for you to try to move ahead." Ava hugs Xavier, and tells him "I know it. But at my age and all.." Xavier smiles "Think of something Grandma would say." Ava smiles at her Brother "My Mama would let me know my answer. And I think you're right. I'll see you at the office." Xavier leaves, as Ava walks into the basement, and yells "Don't start coughing, and trying anything with me!" They snarl back "You don't want to try me when I get out you evil, wicked bitch of the East!"

      At City Hospital, Frank walks into his Daughter's room, as Terrance tells Faye "You can't leave. You're being sent to rehab for your addiction problem!" Faye screams "I'll kill that bitch!" Frank looks at his Daughter with tears, and says "You're close to breaking, and I'm just.." Faye yells "I hate you!" Frank walks out, and takes a deep breath, as he holds his chest, feeling pain. At Chantel's, Cale, Allison, Wade, and Bridget, all have breakfast together, as Wade quips "Soon I'll hire a cook for family gatherings." Cale tells his Cousin "Well Wade, I need to check on Dad. He was gone before we left." Wade asks "Well isn't there a Niece I don't see?" Allison nods with disdain, as she and Bridget glare at each other, and Allison tells everyone "I have things to do." Allison kisses her Husband, as Bridget asks in a snooty tone "So tell me the life of a housewife Allison." Allison glares at Wade and Bridget, and leaves peacefully, as Wade tells Cale "I want to know if you want a share of HaleCorp. I am making sure we are set for life." Bridget checks her watch, as she tells Wade "Time for me to start my job. Training in business at Class." Bridget leaves, as Cale looks at Wade, and tells his Cousin "I'm really not.." Wade tells him "Ginny could use a trust fund if racing hobby goes up in smoke, and I need some help." Cale and Wade chat, as Cale tells him "Last thing we need is a family war. So don't be starting one with anything connected to my Uncle Xavier if you know what's wise." Wade quips, as the waitress brings the check "Oh I got that man figured out."
 
     At Class, Jamie sits inside her office, as Bree walks inside, and Jamie asks her Oldest Daughter "And for what purpose do you have being here?" Bree warns her Mother "I know the truth, and you need to stop playing the damn victim, and the same for my Sister!" Jamie warns her Daughter, as she gets up from her desk "Bree do you know I regret having you now." Bree walks up to her Mother, and slaps her across the face, and yells fiercely "Do you even know the years of hell I've endured because of you! You slept with my first Husband. Helped write a book that destroyed the family! And then do the one thing you should have never tried, and that was Aunt Beth, and the lady whether or not you like it I call Grandma." Jamie snaps "And before you even go there, I didn't sleep with Jared." Bree responds in a serious tone "That instant defense gives me instincts to know you did. Just admit that you are keeping my Sister out of town to protect yourself." Jamie warns her Daughter "Now you've said all I want to hear, so go find a man I haven't slept with yet." Bree walks out with disgust, as Jamie sits back, and her phone rings, and she answers, as someone says on the other line "Game has changed."

    Meanwhile at The Exposer, Aretha walks into her office, as Carver follows, and Aretha asks Carver "So what's the scoop you've got on Jamie?" Carver asks instead "How about discussing our wedding?" Aretha looks at Carver, and sighs "I'm not feeling like talking about that after last night." Carver asks his fiancĂ©e "Did Uncle Sayyid try to kill you?" Aretha snaps "Damnit he's.." Carver goes "Guilty of murder?" Aretha yells "Just go see Roger, and I'll deal with you later. And stop talking about my Uncle." Carver reminds Aretha, as he walks to the door "Just remember I will always hate him for what he's tried to do to me. He deserves what he gets." Carver walks out, as Aretha looks at her engagement ring to Carver, and moves it around on her finger, with doubt in her eyes, and in her heart. At The Evans Home, Javon and Keisha are inside the living room, as Willie walks downstairs, and tells them "I can't wait for the news, so I'm forewarning everyone." Javon reminds his Grandmother "What did we say about us eloping, and we were doing it in the islands? Not here." Willie sighs "I love weddings. Aretha's about to get married." Javon nods, and slowly tells her "There's a wedding for you." Javon and Keisha hugs Willie, as Javon and Keisha leaves. Willie walks back inside, and sees a missed call from Eve, and ignores it; as she sits down, and goes "Starting to irritate me girl."

      At HaleCorp, Jared walks into his office, as he checks his messages, and Angelica walks inside, and smiles at her Grandson "Ahh the face of failure. Who needs to pay with blood." Jared snarls at her angrily, and hatefully "Bitch there isn't much keeping me from cutting your throat." Angelica asks Jared "So asshole like to tell me what you have decided?" Jared warns her with slight fear in his tone "Grandmother I will not kiss your ass! I hate you!" Angelica responds with a laugh "Hate you and your Mommy too. But Chant was like his Son Wade. The two of you are attracted to Bridget..." Jared yells "I'm not leaving this company because Roger sold it to Wade!" Angelica yells in frustration "I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO LEAVE!" Angelica takes a deep breath, and slowly grins "Sleep with Bridget and I'll bring your kids to you. All three, or four?" Jared is silent, and asks "No killing anybody?" Angelica laughs to him "If you make no mistakes." Angelica struts out, as Jared is silent, as he makes a phone call, but the number's disconnected. Country meanwhile walks inside, as he warns Jared "Now I'm not putting myself in danger of being offed by X." Jared sternly goes "It's about his Grandchildren. I think my Grandmother is plotting something, and knows something and being herself about it." Country walks to the door, and tells Jared "I heard that Roger sold this to your ol' Brother up in Sugar Creek. And I think you'd need to worry about your job. X and her are friends now. Unlike we are." Country leaves, as Jared calls his secretary, and tells her "Tell Wade when he arrives I'm waiting for him."

     Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Xavier arrives, as he bumps into his Nephew, as Jack asks his Uncle "So what's your thoughts?" Xavier looks at Jack, and tells him "Your Mother is herself to me." Jack warns Xavier "Wait when she arrives. That's if she does." Javon meanwhile walks inside, as Xavier tells them "I think it's time for our big announcement thanks to a surprise flying home today." Jack gets excited, and yells "FINALLY!" Xavier starts to cry, as he goes "Yes, my Princess will be coming home! The one I plan to pass this to." Javon jokes "I thought you said this could be mine?" Xavier looks at Javon, and quips "Call Roger and see if he's up to selling Class." Javon tells them "He may just do it too." Jack is silent, as he's filled with joy, of his Cousin's upcoming return, as Xavier tells him "Call him and let's do it. But it'll be Sully's call who's in charge." Javon and Jack heads to Jack's office, as Xavier sits down, and looks at a photo of his Oldest Daughter, Sully Jackson, and says to it with tears "Daddy has missed you Princess."

    At Beth's Penthouse, Ciarra walks into the living room, as she puts away a leash, and tells Precious "Beth's out late this morning. Let's enjoy our little quiet time." The doorbell rings, as Ciarra answers, to find Brock on the other side, and Ciarra hugs her Great-Nephew, and asks "Why aren't you home resting from your trip?" Brock tells her "I need to ask Gram something, or as I've heard, you have a way with her.." Ciarra sits down, and asks "Are you and Xavier having problems?" Brock nods, and adds "And I am going to get back my Sister's company for her, and Mom." Ciarra takes a deep breath, and quips "You are moving up an imaginary ladder much too fast. You need to just get in the door before trying to perform takeovers. And sadly remember the bitch that runs it happens to be my child. Think of family." Brock goes "I am! And the way Bree acts about Jamie, shouldn't be a problem." Ciarra warns her Great Nephew "In your Father's eyes, he would likely challenge you. Xavier isn't the type to be defied. But know he doesn't forgive or forget." Brock asks his Great Aunt in a bold tone "If Sully went to bed with Roger Lord, and then sold her business to him, wouldn't my Father remember she's his child. He screams family." Ciarra quickly snaps "Now we know she'd never do anything like that, and she is just like her Father. And for you, I'd cool down; and you can stay here with us if you'd like. I have no idea where you Grandmother could be." At Whispering Hills, Beth arrives, as Ava is on the phone, and warns her Daughter In Law "Samantha, do not let him come down here! And everything is fine! Back off!" Ava hangs up, as Beth asks "So Jack's still worrying about you." Ava tells her Former Sister In Law "I talked to Xavier, and ready to accept he's dead. And Angelica's moving on, so I guess time for me to do the same. Enjoy myself." Beth asks "So where's my present?" Ava takes Beth into the basement, as Ava laughs "Look who I found in town last night that could just save my Brother's life." Beth is quiet, as she smiles, and tells the person, tied up to a chair, and their mouth taped shut "Hello bitch. Long time no see. So wanna make a deal?"

    At FJR, Cale walks inside, as he finds Frank inside the shop, and asks his Father "Weren't you supposed to see Dr. Arp this morning?" Frank sits against a car, and tells his Son "Faye's going to rehab, and I wanted to come here and look at some success. And enjoy some peace and quiet." Cale looks at his Father, and tells him, with concern "You don't look rested Dad." Frank snaps "How can I rest with that little bitch I created with Casey Ryan? I should have listened to Beth." Cale quips "I can always call her.." Frank warns Cale "Don't call her and get her started." Frank and Cale walks around the shop, as Frank tells his Son "I already know what I need to know, and no need to worry Beth. It's alright. I know this is fine, and you're fine." Cale stops his Father, and asks him "Are you saying something to me without coming out?" Frank answers "Yes. And I just want to enjoy what time I have left." At City Hospital, Terrance sits inside his office, as Barbara walks inside, and tells him "Call Beth and let her know Frank canceled his appointment. I know it's not legal, but we also know them." Terrance takes a deep breath, as he asks "Has my Uncle arrived to see you yet?" Barbara hands over a file, and tells him "Olivia will be able to help him more than I could. And I think his odds are good right now. Olivia though has something she's working on that only she knows how to use." Terrance is quiet, as Barbara's phone rings, and she answers "Dr. Arp." Barbara leaves, as Terrance sits quietly, and reads his Uncle's results from Loma Vista, and thinks of his Mother, as he calls Willie, and gets no answer, as Terrance says to himself "Damn Uncle Clem. You waited.."


   Meanwhile at Class, Bridget walks inside Jamie's office, as Bridget tells Jamie "I am excited to be working for you, and running the media side of things." Jamie nods, and goes "Me too Bridget. Me too." Bridget asks Jamie "So how do you handle the attacks Sully's family still likely delivers.." Jamie cries "Oh my Daughter died because of her, and that horrible family I sadly come from and had to disown to protect myself." Bridget's jaw drops, as she asks "Do you think Sully killed Summer?" Jamie nods, and confidently tells Bridget "She left three boys without a Mother. If she tries me again, her two brats lose their Mother." Bridget is silent, as a thought crosses her mind, and thinks about it to herself. At Jackson Inc, Leigh walks into her Husband's office, as Xavier asks his Wife "What brings you down here?" Leigh asks her Husband "I wanted to know if you heard from our Daughter yet? All you said was she was coming home X." Xavier sits back, and nods, and adds "She's arriving on her own private jet. Part of the deal I made to buy the grocery division of Thomas Holdings, that's splitting up." Leigh asks Xavier "And you promise not to show any favoritism towards Sully around our Son." Xavier snaps "Damnit what's the deal with Junior? What am I doing wrong other than always making sure he has what he needs to survive. But as we both clearly see, not interested." Leigh yells "He's trying to prove himself to you. Like approval." Xavier rolls his eyes, as he says to himself "A load of bullshit." Leigh walks up to Xavier, and grabs him, and warns him "I'm warning you X, one more time you try something B.R. would; I will kill for one of my kids!" Leigh walks out, as Xavier sits at his desk, with his hand on his head, as he has disappointment in his eyes.


     At the ALPD, Bree walks into her office, as Paul waits, and noticing a look of concern, Bree asks Paul "Did my Mother make another attempt at a favor?" Paul gets up, puts his hands on Bree's shoulders, and warns her "Someone tipped me off that there's someone on their way to town prone to cause your Mother to go to press crying victim again." Bree sits down, and goes "Shit. Sounds like we need to call Bobby. So you do that, and I'll call my Uncle." At The Farm, Frank returns, as he notices the door's unlocked, and yells "Who's in my damn house?" Faye walks out of her bedroom, as she laughs in a drunken tone "Nice try old man. I fooled those people at the hospital." Frank yells "You little bitch! I've damn had it..." Frank grabs his chest, and Faye laughs towards her Father "What is it Daddy? Pretending to have a heart attack?" Frank, with pain in his voice, yells as he holds his chest tightly "Get my pills." Faye sits down, as Frank looks towards his Daughter with tears, as Faye bends down, and quips "Time for me to collect Daddy." Frank's phone rings, as Faye walks over, and see her Cousin's number, and ignores it. Back at the ALPD, Bree looks at Paul, and tells him "Cale told me he skipped his appointment, and he's not been well lately." Paul tells Bree "Go check on him." Bree heads out, as she heads to The Farm. Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, in the basement, Ava sits on the steps, and smokes a cigarette, and drinks a glass of liquor, as Beth walks around the chair, as someone squirms, as their mouth's covered, and Beth whispers in their ear "I may be willing to give you something, but in return you give something to us."
