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 fiancée "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."
  
     
    


  
      

     
  

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 3. The New Rivalry

     Night has fallen in Adam's Landing, and at City Hospital, Faye has came to herself after overdosing on her Father's medication for his pain, as she's cuffed to her bed, and Frank, Beth, and Bree stands inside, as Faye snaps "Well what in the hell are y'all planning. I won't do none of those interventions!" Beth tells Faye "You will stay here tonight on lockdown, with security present, and I need to talk to Frank outside." Beth and Frank walks into the hallway, as Bree looks at her Cousin, and tells her "Faye, you are going to lose if you keep this up. And Uncle Frank has been beaten down you little lying, thieving, self-centered bitch." Faye yells "Go home Bree. Daddy's fine with my Mommy's killer. Tell Aunt Jamie I love her, and got a story for her when you see her." Bree grows furious, and walks out, as she turns to her Aunt and Uncle, and goes "Let that guard deal with her!" Bree hugs her Uncle, and Aunt, as she leaves, and Frank tells Beth "I'm fine." Beth goes "I've noticed you've been a little out of breath lately. And I know your heart. Do you need a check-up?" Frank grows quiet, and answers "I can't handle that kid anymore Beth. I am too old, and my heart has been giving me problems." Beth hugs her Ex-Husband, and reminds him "I will deal with her if I have to. You need to go on a vacation, and let me handle that little brat." Frank takes a deep breath, as he looks at the woman he loves, and sighs, fighting tears "So Terrance hasn't told you yet?" Beth grows silent, and slowly warns "I am supposed to call him about that.." Both grow silent, as Beth asks "Any chances?" Frank cries, and asks, looking through the Window "What's going to happen to her?"

      At Hell Hill, Leigh sits inside the living room, as there's a knock at the door, and answers, as Country goes "Where's X?" Leigh snaps with anger in her voice towards him "You two faced piece of shit! You got the nerve to show up here? Do you want to die?" Leigh adds with anger growing in her voice "Screw you Bo Williams-Huey. And for my Husband's sake, stay away from here if you have any brain cells still wired tight." Country asks Leigh "What's so damn wrong about not wanting to kill the Mother of my Daughter Leigh? I wish I had now, but still. I was protecting HIS family. What he asked me to do. And both of us know Ava." Leigh rolls her eyes, and opens the door, and goes "Leave." Country is silent, as Leigh doesn't acknowledge him, as he walks out, and Brock sees him and yells "Uncle Country!" Country hugs Xavier and Leigh's Son, as Leigh pulls out a pistol and warns Country "Get off this damn property!" Brock yells "Mama!" Leigh snaps at her Son "Get inside!" Brock walks upstairs with sadness, as Country leaves, and Leigh calls her Husband, and leaves a message, telling Xavier "Baby, Country's in town, and you need to put him in his place!" Leigh walks inside, slamming the door behind her, as Brock looks at his Mother, as Leigh snarls at her Son "As long as you're living with us, you stay the hell away from that traitor!" Brock yells "He apologized!" Leigh snaps "Don't forget who's your family, and who isn't here now to defend themselves that he betrayed." Brock heads upstairs, as he calls it a night, as Leigh waits for her Husband.

      At Jackson Inc. Javon stands inside his office, as Wade stands at his desk, as Xavier walks inside, with his Colt 45 loaded, and asks him point blank "So testing me I take it?" Wade laughs "Well Xavier, or I'll call you X, Roger sold me HaleCorp. I declare war on you. Time for payback for you, and if Ava wants her share, better do your part. I'm not Grandpa!" Javon asks Wade "Just who the hell are you?" Xavier responds coldly "A man that doesn't seem to remember I have a place waiting for him and the whore he shares his bed with." Wade asks sarcastically "And how would my Grandmother, sweet Angelica feel about you saying such awful things about her heirs?" Xavier quips "She knows, and always remember she will win her battles." At Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Bridget sits on the couch, as Angelica walks inside, and quips "What a lovely day." Bridget asks her Husband's Grandmother "How's Santiago Manor looking?" Angelica snarls at Bridget "Bitch excuse yourself in my presence unless you want me to call that town you're from and say you had a little accident resulting in my sweet Wade being single. Happily I'd believe in my heart." Bridget snaps back "You have no damn heart. You love to torture your family, or anyone who disobeys you. I run this house." Angelica pulls out a pistol, and reminds Bridget "And you have whored through my Grandsons. I lost two of my future heirs to the bloodline I am proud to share with Xavier Jackson now." Bridget warns her "Try me and see what happens. Remember I have connections too, and I know your history that Aretha Evans could turn into a book." Angelica walks upstairs, and quips "I go nowhere. I go now to my new bedroom, and call it an evening. Goodnight bitch." Angelica goes to bed, as Bridget sits down, and turns on the TV, as she awaits Wade.
   
       At Jack and Samantha's Home at Whispering Hills, Jack arrives home, as Samantha asks "Did you find Ava?" Jack shakes his head, as their teenage Son, with mild Autism, Jackson Martin-Hale, known as J.J. Martin, hugs his Mother, and asks them "Where's Mamaw?" Jack tells his Son, with worry in his voice "Likely out being herself." At Jamie's Mansion, Jamie sits in the living room, as she says to herself, reading her pre-nuptial agreement "Roger I get half of everything. Sweet for me." There's a knock at the door, as Jamie answers, as Ava stands on the other side, and asks her Sister "Still breathing for the moment I see?" Ava asks her Sister "Did you invite that tramp back into Adam's Landing to pull some more shit on our family?" Jamie quips "Rachel? She came on her own. Free, single; and in love with Jack. Wish them the best." Ava walks around, and goes "Nice stuff little half sister Daddy should had left in an orphanage. I feel cold." Jamie asks "Oh describing your heart you evil bitch. Think that lighter scares me?" Ava answers coldly, as she's buzzed from drinking, and lights a cigarette "Bitch it should. And Sully being gone, because of you." Jamie yells "Hold on! Sully killed my Daughter and left my Grandsons..." Ava snaps hatefully "You have no right to call any of us a damn thing in relations to family Jamie! I swear on my Mama and Daddy's graves! And if you try anything funny, I got something funny in my mind for you Scarface." Ava leaves, as Jamie takes a deep breath, and goes upstairs, calling it an evening.
 
     At Eve and Sayyid's Loft in Downtown Adam's Landing, Aretha and Terrance has arrived, along with Keisha, as she tells them "Javon's working late tonight." Terrance quips "That's my Son." Sayyid tells his Nephew "Good to see the two of you getting along so well." Keisha agrees, as does Aretha and Eve, as Sayyid tells everyone "Time to discuss something Terrance knows." Sayyid tells his Niece and Nephew, with Eve holding him tightly "I have Cancer. Olivia found it, and it might be too late." Eve holds onto Sayyid, as he cries to Terrance and Aretha, as Keisha leaves "I have to make peace with Willie before I meet God." Aretha hugs her Uncle tightly, fighting tears, as Terrance calls his Mother, as the phone rings inside The Evans Home, and Willie prepares for bed, and laughs "Another plea to forgive Clem. Not gonna be fooled again." Willie heads upstairs, as she leaves a light on for Aretha. Back at Eve and Sayyid's Loft, Terrance promises his Uncle "Well Uncle Clem, I'll make sure you get the best care possible, and although I imagine Keisha left because of the subject, but she'll keep an eye on you as well." Eve tells them "We're not going to tell River (Eve and Sayyid's Son). He's doing fine right now, and we'll deal with this on our own." Aretha and Terrance supports their choice, as they hug, and Aretha and Terrance returns to their homes for the night, as Terrance gets inside his car, and sends a text to his Sister, and Son, that reads "Dinner tomorrow. My home."

    Meanwhile at Cale and Allison's Home on Frank's Farm, Allison and Ginny watches TV, as Ginny yawns "Almost time for bed tomorrow." Allison looks at the clock, and goes "It is. And tomorrow go spend some time with J.J. He's back from vacation." Ginny smiles, and runs to her bedroom for the night, as Cale walks inside, and Allison asks her Husband "How's Faye and Frank?" Cale sighs with sadness "Fine, but my suspicions are on the money something's wrong with Dad." Allison tells him with anger and disgust "That spawn of Casey's really has aged him. I heard Aunt Beth tell him a few months ago he looked faint. The Season Opener you Won?" Cale laughs "It was sad that Dad had a cold." Allison asks "What are you thinking Cale? He has cancer? I think it's his heart." Cale turns towards his Wife, and tells her "Beth's about to let us know. If anyone would know it'd be her!" At City Hospital, Faye's asleep in her Hospital Room, as she's held overnight, with security outside, as Frank and Beth are inside an empty room, sitting next to each other on a bed, holding hands, as Frank tells his Ex Wife "My heart is really scaring me. It's randomly causing me to black out, and I had an accident during one." Beth tells him "Faye's about to cut you a break, and you go rest, and I'll stay..." Frank sighs "Damnit Beth.." Beth rushes him, saying "A little relaxation for you awaits. She's fine."  Frank and Beth hug, and Beth reminds him "See Dr. Arp in the morning for that chest scan, and heart test. She created it, and has saved lives." Frank sighs, as he shakes, and starts to cry "Beth, I'm tired, and I can't stand her! I am ready to see my Mama." Beth stops him, and tells him with a kiss "Stop that. I'll stay here so Ciarra and her friend the dog can have a sleepover as they call these events." Frank tells Beth "Ciarra doesn't come around anymore." Beth hugs Frank, and tells her Ex-Husband "Floyd and my Mama passing away hurt her, and she's even distant with Bree, which is sad for Bree." Frank reminds her "She is a Sullivan, and I know how Tenny felt about me." Beth laughs "Yep. And I nearly died!" In Faye's room, Faye lays in the bed and hears her Father and Beth in the hallway, as they kiss passionately, and Frank heads home, as Beth walks inside, and tells Faye in a stern, bold tone "Ok you bitch. Tonight, while you sober up; Auntie Beth will tell you how we're going to treat people like your Father." Faye asks Beth "Is it Ex-Husband? Or Son.." Beth grabs Faye up from her bed, and warns her "I helped raise you, and you better remember that or else I'll make your life a living hell if anything happens to your Father!"
     
        At Hell Hill, Xavier returns, as Leigh welcomes her Husband, and whispers "Junior's asleep. I got a call from Marco and he offered me a gig here in town soon for his line at Emery's." Xavier congratulates his Wife's modeling gig with a kiss, as they walk into his study, as Leigh tells her Husband of Country's visit, and Xavier pulls out his Colt 45, and assures his Wife "I got his ass." At The Inn, Country pulls into the parking lot, as Brock is outside, and yells "I'm old enough!" Country asks Brock "How did you get here? Do what ol' Frank used to do and climb down the house." Brock nods, and tells him "I'm getting Class back for my Mother and if you and my Dad ever wanna be close, then work with me." Country asks Brock "Now what's my end of the deal?" Brock goes "You need to kill Jamie and her Daughter, my Cousin I claim's Sister you know..." Country quickly answers "I'm done with killing for now. I want a relationship with Bree, and she has been angry with me for quite a few years." Brock snaps "So? And you know Dad wants you in the swamp? I can arrange it." Country warns Brock "Go home, and stop acting like the big man. X should put you in your place." Brock leaves, as Country orders a drink, and takes it upstairs to his room, as he calls it a night.
 
     At Whispering Hills, Ava pours herself a glass of liquor, as the TV is on, and she smokes a cigarette, as Jack walks inside, and Ava slurs in a drunken tone to her Son "And making sure I'm all tucked in for the night Jack? Maybe tonight Winston will come home." Jack tries to take his Mother's glass, and Ava shrieks "Back off me boy before I slap the shit out of you! You'll learn your place here with me!" Jack backs up, with horror across his face, as he cries, and asks "Did Dad's disappearance change you? Or have you lost the will to love anything besides that glass of liquor?" Ava tells her Son boldly, and slowly "I think I am just fine so leave me the hell alone." Jack returns home, as Ava sits down; and pulls a lighter from her purse, and snarls "Well Rachel we're due to meet again, so how are we going to go? Bic? Or my beloved's Pistol?" At The Holiday Hotel, formerly bought and owned for a short time by Wade Issac Hale, before being part of his trade for HaleCorp from Lord Incorporated, Roger sits in the lobby, and takes a drink of vodka, as Rachel sits next to him, and asks him "What's the problem with you? I'll share my story if you share your story." Roger goes "I know you." Rachel laughs "The most hated person in town I certainly hold the crown!" Roger quips "What about my Wife? You know her." Rachel quips back in a seductive tone "Well Mr. Lord, Jamie is old, and scarred and owes me money. So I think you and I should discuss life and relationships. Rachel slightly unbuttons her blouse, and Roger looks on, and goes "Nice work." Rachel responds sarcastically "Most would of got slapped, but I will give you a freebie." Roger quips "Well in a trade, I get free rooms here." Rachel grabs his hand, and leads him to her room.

    Back at City Hospital, in Faye's room, the bed's unplugged, and Beth warns Frank's Daughter "Now enough of the spoiled kid act. I did not kill Casey, but won't be sad if she was dead! How many times has many of us told you about her?" Faye slurs "Lying bitch." Beth snaps "Whatever you choose. I mean you're delusional right now; so I'll cool it. Rest. Believe it or not I do love you Faye." Faye looks at Beth, and goes "You are an evil, cold woman. I will get revenge for Mom!" Beth sighs "She'll never be back here again. So give up the fairy tale. She knows better." Beth orders a nurse to give Faye something to help her sleep, as Beth says to herself "I wish Casey would have took my abortion route." At The Farm, Frank arrives, as he walks inside, and sits down, and opens a bag of prescriptions, and Frank pulls out a lock box, and puts it inside, and locks it tightly, and heads to his bedroom, as he calls it a night. He enjoys the peace and quiet, and misses his Daughter. At Cale and Allison's Home, Bree arrives, as Cale tells his Cousin "Dad's home. Aunt Beth called earlier and said she put her in her place she hopes." Bree quips "Aunt Beth isn't the one you wanna mess with." In Cale and Allison's Bedroom, Allison is on the phone with her Mother, Dr. Olivia Lane Sullivan, Widow of Allan Sullivan, a.k.a. Allan James. Olivia's in Southpoint Beach, and sits on a porch, as she tells her Daughter "Ally, your Grandpa is well, and I'm coming back to settle things." Allison, in shock, goes "What? You're leaving?" Olivia tells her Daughter "Allan is dead. And my Daddy needs me sweetie. You can handle it up there. And I have a job waiting at the Hospital here." Allison asks "When will you return?" Olivia answers "A few days.", as they hang up, and inside the living room, Cale and Bree have discussed the situation with Faye, as Bree tells them "An intervention is needed as soon as possible. There's schools she can be shipped off to." They laugh for a moment, though concerned for her.

     At Hell Hill, Xavier walks into the living room, as it's dark, and the door opens, and Brock turns on the light and screams, as Xavier pulls out his Colt 45, and yells "Where in the hell have you been?" Brock goes "Being independent!" Leigh walks downstairs, and asks her Husband "Pulling a gun on Brock? What's going on with you?" Xavier snaps "Damn that lying bastard just can't give me a damn break!" Xavier asks his Son "So what are you and Frank's hopefully dead offspring have in mind to screw me?" Brock walks up to his Father, and pushes him, as Leigh holds her Husband and Son, and screams to her Husband and Son "GO TO BED! EVERYONE!" Brock heads upstairs, and Leigh warns her Husband sternly "If I ever witness that again. I would be the one to kill you, and I would die for my child. Now go to bed!" Leigh and Xavier heads upstairs, as they all call it a night.

    As night's fallen in Adam's Landing, a plane arrives on the runway at Adam's Landing International Airport, as someone sits, and awaits the order to exit the plane. At Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Wade and Bridget lay in their bed, as Bridget tells her Husband "I miss our Son." Wade nods, and sighs "When you lost his little sibling due to that madness with your deranged.." Bridget reminds him gently "Your family has mine beat in psycho." Wade gets on top of Bridget, and seductively smiles mischievously "Grandmother must have taken your orders." Bridget turns out the lights, as they make love. At The Holiday Hotel, Roger walks back downstairs, as someone goes "Look who forgot to zip up." Roger asks Angelica "I have heard you returned from South America." Angelica asks Roger "So who did you just sleep with that we both know was not Scarface." Roger quips "Sounds like something Ava would.." Angelica rolls her eyes, and sighs with a stern tone "I know all I need to know; to destroy her. But, what do I know Shithead." Angelica walks out, as Roger takes a deep breath, but quips "Carver's got me covered with her." At Jamie's Mansion, Jamie sits in the living room, as she hangs up the phone, as her doorbell rings, and Jamie yells "It's late!" Jamie walks to the door, as Jamie goes "Oh. Here's what I owe you." Jamie pulls out a suitcase of cash, as the person walks away. At Whispering Hills, as Ava prepares to go to bed, she pours a last shot of whiskey, as she gets a text from Jack and doesn't answer it, and snarls "The only problem I have is my Husband's gone, and needs to come home!" Ava goes downstairs, into her basement, and opens a door, and tells someone, locked in a cell "Made a mistake coming back here."

    

  
 

Dayight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 2. Regrets And Consquence

      At Jackson Inc, Jack and Xavier sits inside his office, as they are silent, and Javon quietly sneaks in, as they overhear what's going on at HaleCorp, as Jared gasps "Roger did what?" Carver reminds Jared "I told you many times that's how Roger Lord operates. He didn't care about this, and doesn't really give a shit about Jamie. So what makes you think he'd give a shit about you..." Wade quips "And you divorced from those evil Jacksons, so you are on top of their hit list, but luckily Grandmother and I's beautiful relationship we have formed.." Jared warns his Brother "Angelica Santiago will never have anything to do with my Grandfather's company after what she did to Ava. Taking him to South America saying she was saving him, and then he disappears, and she plays victim." Wade turns to Carver, and goes "Now you can leave. This is family time, and don't come back." Carver smiles "Gladly bastard." Carver leaves, and Jared warns Wade "Don't think for a damn second I'm giving this up." Wade grabs his Brother, and snarls with anger "I heard about how you've become. I also heard that your Ex-fling is dead, but who knows with a family of crazies. But Ava has a stake in this company too, and I owe her for our Grandpa. Yeah we did talk before he died. I wish I had of taken more time to spent and knew him. Your loss." Jared tells Wade, pushing him off of him "Make me leave." Wade pulls out his phone, and asks "ALPD, or just that stoned out guard down the hall?"
  
     At Chantel's, Beth arrives, as she tells a bartender "Thank you for calling me.", as Beth sits at the bar, and orders a drink, as he asks "You are taking a drink?" Beth nods, and goes "With that bitch sitting in the corner, and what I've got to tell her, I need it." Jamie sits back, as Rachel Lane walks inside, and smiles "Well looks like that surgeon I recommended worked some wonders for those scars from Ava." Jamie snarls "That bitch. I know she had something to do with my Daughter's death. And probably protecting Sully. I want to expose it in a book. And Roger will pay the bill like always. Or my sweet Brother." Rachel tells Jamie sternly "Now Jamie I have tried to change, and move on. Let's not go totally back in the past. River and I divorced and dread the sight of Eve since she moved here. And I'm not into stirring any shit up with Ava.." Jamie tells Rachel "The bitch knows and would confess if you got her started that Sully was the killer." Rachel asks Jamie "Changing topics now Jamie, you owe me royalties, and we could go a few ways about this. One is calling Aretha. One's calling Herb Whitfield, who's wanted to leave The Gossiper someone told me." Beth walks over, and sarcastically, but boldly quips "Two whores meet up for drinks and discuss old times. One must feel sick." Jamie asks her Cousin "What exactly are you doing here Beth? To tell me to leave poor old Ciarra alone? She came to see me." Rachel asks Beth "Bored from retirement old lady?" Beth warns both Jamie and Rachel "I want both of you whores to understand something! The two of you are not about to start a damn thing with my Aunt, or my family! I will kill both of you." Jamie snaps, as she takes a drink of liquor "We know you are good at it. You killed that sweet Faye's Mama in Texas that time." Beth snaps back at Jamie "And you need to stop running to Frank and worrying him. He has enough on his hands with that little brat he had with Casey. And here's a thought; what if the bitch's still breathing? I am full of surprises Jamie." Rachel asks Beth "Still popping syringes on pregnant women?" Beth warns Rachel "One time bitch. And I will make sure you pay with your life. I may be retired, but still have my license to play with needles and that kind of stuff stupid, self-absorbed bitches. So don't test me." Jamie yells "Tell your Granddaughter Sully the killer I said hello." Beth ignores them, and leaves, as Rachel's phone rings, and tells Jamie "Time to check in at The Sunset Club." Jamie smiles, and goes "Oh please stay with me at my Mansion in Downtown. I bought your Parents old place." Rachel declines, and leaves, as Jamie gets up, and makes a phone call, an says to herself "Damnit answer me!"
  
      At the ALPD, Bree sits in her office, reading files, as Aretha walks inside, along with Terrance, as Bree tells them "I was going to call you. And I need Eve's number. I know she's private due to being a music legend, but let's discuss something." Bobby Whitten, Xavier Jackson's Attorney, and Representative of the Jackson Family; and mayor of Adam's Landing tells Terrance and Aretha "Phillip Mason's Brother was Married to my Daughter a long time ago, until he left her, and she moved overseas to work as a Doctor in Asia." Bree adds "We stick together. And I told them to go to hell, so let Sayyid know he's safe here, and thank Grandma for it." Aretha tells Bree "You have turned into Ruth in many ways Bree. She'd be so proud of you. Such a shame how you've been done by Jamie and Country." Bree tells them "Country and I haven't spoke in years, and Mom can go to hell." Aretha, Terrance, and Bobby laughs, as they ask Bree "Think your Sister's Dead?" Bree answers "No. I have eyes around this town. Remember my Mom runs that rival.." Aretha sighs "Yeah, That one." Terrance thanks Bree, and hugs her and Bobby, as does Aretha, as they leave filled for the moment at ease for their Uncle. At The Evans Home, Willie sits in the living room, and tries to play with a smartphone, and there's a knock at the door, and Willie gets up to answer, as Eve stands on the other side, and tells Willie "It's time you and I talk." Willie sighs with a look of dread "Not again pleading Clem's innocence. I know my Brother, and he broke his promise to me Eve. And Little Sidney, and Rashad Jr, that was too much!" Eve tells Willie "There was a car behind him." Willie asks "Now the excuse for killing Tyrone Houston, the Son of the Woman he got with in Loma Vista, and then said I was dead?" Eve looks at the woman she considers a Mother to her, and tells her gently "Willie, give it to God. Just give it to him." Willie tells Eve "Time for you to go. Javon and Keisha's on their way over here to play 21." Eve walks out with sadness in her eyes, as Willie walks back to her chair, and says to herself "I just can't."
    
      Meanwhile at FJR, Frank arrives, as Cale and Allison are inside the shop, and Ginny, Cale and Allison's Daughter, has returned from her part time job at Chantel's, as she hugs her Grandfather, and goes "Grandma Beth came in as I was leaving, and had that look." Frank sighs "I hate it that Jamie has turned into someone I don't know anymore. I mean Ciarra is a great lady. She has tried to be good to her the best she can." Allison adds "And she's never been very open with anyone really except for Beth and her side of the family. We see each other sometimes, but that's it." Frank tells them "I'm going to give y'all some money for what Faye stolen." Cale stops him, as Ginny snaps "Make that bitch clean it up...oops, I'm sorry Papaw." Cale glares towards his Daughter, as Allison goes "Sullivan trait. Mom told that to me." Frank laughs, as he tells Ginny "I'm glad you're going to medical school. Beth's so happy, she wants to meet with you soon." Ginny tells her family "Grandma Beth's helping me, and done warned me about paying her back." Frank tells his Granddaughter "I don't know where I went wrong raising Faye. It was really an accident, but never tell that to her." Cale asks "Where is she Dad?" At The Farm, Faye sits in the living room, as she opens a bottle of her Father's medicine, and takes a few, and says to herself "Beth won't ever be my damn Mama! Bitch killed my real one!" The door opens, as Leigh walks inside, and asks Faye "Boozing?" Faye snaps "What's it to you? Brock ain't here!" Leigh asks her Niece "You mean you knew he was back?" Faye, in a disrespectful tone, answers "First one he called. If I see him, I'll tell him. Pinky swear." Leigh warns Faye "If Gracie ever acted like you, I'd beat her ass." Faye laughs "What's stopping you? You're not modeling anymore. I see your name in these magazines, in past tense Grandma." Leigh slaps Faye, as Brock walks inside, and is silent, as Leigh warns Faye with anger in her tone "You don't know me like that!" Leigh turns around, and warns her Son "Don't start hanging around with her. She's trouble." Faye screams "Your Mom's a bitch." Brock boldly warns Faye "Never let me hear that from you again or I'll smack the shit outta you!" Leigh and Brock leaves, as Faye walks over to her father's chair, and opens a pack of cigarettes.
     
      Back at Jackson Inc. Xavier, Jack, and Javon are inside his office, as they discuss what they've just heard from the bugs they've planted in secret inside HaleCorp. Xavier sighs "Well Jared's about to get his. But I might need to pay Wade a reality check." Javon asks Xavier "Why?" Jack turns to Javon, as he goes "Don't go there today. Once you've been to Hell Hill's famous 'guesthouse', then you're never gonna make it in this town, and I just realized I have a lunch date with my Wife." Jack leaves, as does Javon, as Xavier sits back, and makes a phone call. Meanwhile at The Inn, Country sits at the bar, as he talks to Ava, and goes "Yeah it's been hot today down yonder in them jungles." Ava taps him on the back of the shoulder, as Country gasps, and Ava slaps him from his barstool, and snaps "When did I give you permission to come back to town you son of a bitch?" Country tells Ava calmly "Ava he is dead. Everyone's tried to tell you that, and you are driving yourself crazy. Now where's your end of this, where X and I reconcile again?" Ava snaps at him "That's between the two of you. I just miss my Husband, and I don't think he's dead! I can't accept it!" Ava runs out, as Country leaves a tab and runs after her, and yells "Ava!" Ava gets into her car, opens her flask, and takes a drink, and screams "COUNTRY! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS I SWEAR!", as she speeds out of the parking lot, and Country makes a phone call to his Daughter, as Bree looks at the phone, and ignores her Father's call.
 
      At HaleCorp, Jared's jaw drops, as Wade smiles "Well look who's decided to join in these celebrations!" Jared snarls angrily "Celebrations my ass!" Angelica approaches her Grandson, and slaps Jared in the mouth, and warns him "Two of my Grandchildren, and three that Mommy disappeared on because the bitch is not dead...yet." Bridget warns her Husband "You need to keep this old bitch occupied." Angelica smiles "I'll work here. Jared stays on. And he can't refuse the offer if he knows what's good for him." Wade goes "Grandmother.." Angelica looks at Jared, with anger, and smiles "We'll be just fine, and catch up on lost time." Wade nods, and goes "Good deal, and I'll move into Grandpa's old office down the hall." Angelica hugs her Grandson, and looks towards Bridget with disdain, and goes "At least at some things you are just like Winston. Even the poor choice in whores." Bridget runs after Angelica, being restrained by Wade, as Jared laughs "I'm finding Carver, and calling a friend to help me get this back. This is mine." Angelica pulls a pistol from her purse, and warns her Grandson "Sully, Ruthie, and Cain is safe, but this time you have a choice. I find the homewrecker myself? Or you receive a early birthday gift from Grandma? Angelica walks out, and Bridget tells her Husband "She should move in that Manor, and leave us alone.
    
     At Hell Hill, Leigh and Brock walks inside, as Brock yells "Grandma, Aunt Ciarra!", as he hugs them, and Beth asks her Grandson "Welcome home and what would you like to do for fun tonight with us?" Ciarra smiles, but looks at Leigh, as Ciarra tells her Niece "Let's just do something here. I don't want to go to The Jackson Room, or Jazz." Beth agrees, but goes "Eve's bought.." Ciarra gets irritated , and snaps "I don't wanna run into her again Beth!" Leigh sighs "Jamie.." Beth nods, and takes a deep breath, and tells everyone, quickly changing the direction of the conversation "I'll make a few calls, and we'll have a family get together." Everyone nods in agreement. Meanwhile at The Farm, Frank, Cale, Allison, and Ginny walks inside, as Faye's passed out, and Frank yells "Faye wake up!" Allison notices a bottle of pills, and Cale calls 911, as Faye wakes up, as she's overdosed, and Frank boldly tells his Daughter "You are getting help NOW! You understand me? NOW!" Ginny gets emotional, as she walks outside, and takes a deep breath, and back inside, Cale and Allison walks into the kitchen, and Cale tells his Wife "I can't see much more of this. Notice Dad's slumping over? Aunt Beth's noticed the same thing." Allison sighs, hugging her Husband, as they await the paramedics, as Faye looks around, but too drugged to say anything, as Frank keeps talking to his Daughter frantically, holding her, in tears saying "Daddy has you baby. Daddy has you."
    
    Meanwhile in Downtown Adam's Landing, at Jazz, now owned by Eve Mathis; Jack meets his Wife, as Samantha tells her Husband "I saw my Grandmother in her in a veil." Jack rolls his eyes, and laughs "She's likely too happy to worry about tormenting you today." Samantha quips "She tried to kill us and she just acts like everything's normal. Best stay away from us." Jack kisses his Wife, as they order lunch. In the back, Angelica sits, as Ava notices Jack and Sam, but sneaks to Angelica's table, and Angelica tells Ava "Take a drink, and tell me about that woman." Ava tells a story to Angelica, as a bartender brings a glass of whiskey to Ava, as she lights a cigarette, and Angelica listens. Ava finishes, and Angelica tells Ava "Well for Country, or what's his name, Bo?" Ava answers "Winston used to say it was Huey. But Country lived in Loma Vista at one point." Angelica nods, and asks Ava "So are you ready to accept things? And by the way I got us back HaleCorp. Wade's been very smart, and got it fair and square from Jackass Roger Lord. He's really a good man, but Bridget.." Ava sighs "Shit girl, don't even start up.." Angelica and Ava laugh wickedly, unknown to them; Jack and Samantha listens, and Jack quietly goes "I don't know whether that friendship is good, or a deal with the devil. I don't understand." Samantha agrees with her Husband, as they have their 'date', and Angelica and Ava orders more drinks, as Ava quips to her former rival, and now friend since Winston's "disappearance" a few year ago.

    At The Exposer, the tabloid owned by Aretha Evans, Aretha walks into her office, as Carver greets her with a kiss, and tells her "Jared found out today. And I turned in my retirement from Roger." Aretha hugs her fiancée tightly, and goes "That's wonderful. Hope you know Uncle Clem's in town. But I think you are safe." Carver quips "As long as we stay out of each other's way!" At The Evans Home, Javon, Keisha, and Willie sits in the kitchen, as Javon asks his Grandmother "So when will you give us a chance to beat you at blackjack. Dad told me about Grandpa Sidney and Uncle Clem.." Willie warns her Grandson "Don't mention him. And I will never give a hand away." Keisha asks Willie "So Terrance wanted me to ask you about how well you know Frank Jackson. Because you were basically a Sister to his Mother from what he, Dr. Arp, and Dr. Jackson's told me." Willie nods, and asks "What's wrong with him?" Keisha tells Willie "That he didn't say. But it's hereditary he said." Willie quietly goes "Cancer? Ruth passed from it.." Javon responds "Could be a STD after that book Jamie wrote." Willie tells them "He's had a few heart attacks, and that child of his is just the worst child I've ever seen. Poor guy. He looks tired when we run across each other, mainly when he comes to have coffee with me."

     At City Hospital, Beth walks into the ER, as Bree has arrived, along with Cale, as Frank walks along the stretcher, carrying Faye that slurs, as she has overdosed on pain medications her Father takes due to his career racing stock cars "What's going on?" Beth walks inside, as Bree tells her Aunt "She's going to end up killing hm." Beth nods, and a tear falls, as she tells Bree "I wanted to kill that whore so bad that night. But I didn't want Faye to seen that. But your Mother's book destroyed her." Bree nods in agreement, and fumes "Mom has destroyed my family Aunt Beth." Beth holds her Niece, and assures her, as staff tends to Faye, as Frank stands helpless, and Beth shakes her head with disgust, along with Bree, as they comfort each other. Each feeling empathy for Frank. Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Xavier arrives, and asks Leigh "Where's Mom and Aunt Ciarra?" Leigh tells her Husband "Faye had another overdose, and Beth rushed to Frank's aid, and you know Ciarra these days." Brock walks downstairs, as he yells "So when we going to go and light up Aunt Jamie's life?" Xavier warns his namesake "Junior don't you try my ass. Enough shit going on right now. And why are you home?" Brock snarks with a cocky tone "Because I always have you to fall back on." Xavier warns his Son "If you quit this college, then you can forget taking over Jackson Inc." Leigh asks her Husband, glaring at her Husband and Son "Why is it always business X? Why? Can't you have a relationship with our Son without being about Jackson Inc. Look at what Sully has become." Xavier yells "My Princess is just like me!" Leigh snaps back "And if she ever comes home Bree's locking her up, and then it'll be over!" Brock yells "Not in the mood." Xavier tells his Son "You better go to work Son, if you're staying here is all I can say. Turning into a loser." Xavier walks into his study, as Leigh looks at Brock, and tells her Son "Back the hell off of X and I before I kick your ass." Xavier sits at his desk in his study, and has a thought cross his mind, and makes a phone call and goes "Start watching The Inn, and then call me. Sayyid Ross referred you to me."

      At Jamie's Mansion, Jamie walks inside, as she's surprised by her Husband, as Roger has a suitcase, and Jamie sighs with dread "Going back to see the wizard of Lake Pittman again?" Roger warns his Wife "Be lucky I take care of your spoiled, weak ass. I could easily go after Xavier, but Sully is my challenge now, and I work on my time. Not yours." Jamie snaps angrily "I made you..." Roger screams "Bullshit! You did not! You owe Angelica, and I have kept her off of you thanks to a few things I know about. Point and case, I own your so called legacy, and keep it up; and I'll take it from you, and personally give Class back to Sully, and do what's right, not about Roger, but about what's fair." Jamie warns him "Try it, and I will take Lord Incorporated from you, look at our pre-nup sometime hubby." Jamie heads upstairs, as Roger laughs to himself "Well dear Jamie, I have you where I want you now that you slept with my Best Friend!" Jamie hears Roger, as she takes a deep breath, and has a flashback (At The Sunset Club, in a suite, Jamie lays naked in bed, and goes "This was just lovely." Carver turns to Jamie, and smiles "We should make time for more of this.") Jamie sits down, and smiles. At The Exposer, the door's locked, as Aretha and Carver lay naked on the floor, as they've made love, and Carver tells Aretha "I've never been as happy as I am with you." Aretha asks "Wanna be a good boy and go see Eve and Uncle Clem with me when we leave or do I have to ride solo?" Carver tells her "Solo. I got to see Roger." Aretha sighs with a smile "I always figured somewhere with him was some good. Ava deserves her stake in Winston's legacy." Carver gets up, as he and Aretha begin to look for their clothes.

     At City Hospital, Faye is inside a triage room, and Frank and Bree are in the hallway, as Beth returns from the desk, along with Cale, asking her "Aunt Beth what's going on?" Beth snaps "Little girl's lucky she survived is all I can say, and Frank needs to get her help. She has that problem he had, and the sad bitch that gave birth to her, she lost out. And I disowned her." Cale sighs with sadness "I feel so worried about Dad. He's not himself. Very fatigued." Beth agrees, but tells him "Remember who he has to live with until they might graduate." Both laugh for a moment, as in the triage, Faye is awake, and Frank walks in, as she's quiet, as Terrance tells them "That much usually kills someone who's also been drinking."

At The Farm, Ginny cleans her Grandfather's Home, as Brock walks inside, and Ginny turns to her Cousin, as Brock asks "She get back in his pills again?" Ginny asks "And were you going to take anything yourself?" Brock asks with anger fuming inside "Say that shit again you conceded bitch." Ginny tells Brock "I'm sorry. I just know you've helped Faye from rumors I've heard around town." Brock asks "And where do you go?" Ginny tells her Cousin "Anywhere to get away. One more year, and Grandma Olivia and I are moving to Southpoint Beach together when I start college!" Brock heads to the door, and leaves, as Ginny asks in a snarky tone "Not saying goodbye Junior?" Brock tells his Cousin "You are a bitch." Ginny laughs "And you are going to be another family loser, so get lost loser." Brock leaves, as a thought crosses his mind.

     At Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Wade and Bridget walks inside, as Bridget warns her Husband "I hate this place Wade Isaac! I mean it!" Wade reminds his Wife "And I have finally gotten the things I wanted most, a loving Grandmother here with me. My family's legacy. The script's flipped baby. Wade Isaac Hale is now a man Xavier will have no choice but to bow to when I ever decide to do battle with him. I own Foodstar now ya know."

At HaleCorp, Angelica walks into Winston's former office, and sits, and is quiet for a moment, as Jared returns, and Angelica asks her Grandson "So what turned you evil? I was stunned to see you turn into a bastard. Expected it to be Wade." Jared yells "What's with this loving attitude and shit you evil bitch? I hate you, and the woman I truly love and miss nearly died because of you! She left in part because you kissed Xavier and Ava's ass! You are loving this too much." Angelica goes in an evil laugh "I most certainly do enjoy it Jared. You and Wade go at it. And there's that whore of a distraction with Bridget. I know about the two of you. And I got a deal for you. Grandmother will help you get Sully back if you pass. If you fail though, then you will join the failures of the Hale bloodline in the family crypt in the middle of a pine thicket known as Northbrook dear young man." Angelica walks out, as Jared grows silent. At Jazz, Jack and Samantha sits at their table, as they hold hands, and Jack kisses his Wife, and tells her "Time for me to head back and babysit Mom."

Xavier turns to his Wife, and asks Leigh "Did I fail our Daughter?"
