At The Adam's Landing Courthouse, everyone sits down, as Ava looks towards Beth, Frank, Xavier, Cale, and Allison, as Jo sits and silently reads up the papers on the case before her "She hasn't said a word." Frank is quiet, as he goes "Damn she looks good these days like she did in high school." Beth turns to Frank, and asks "And what secret could you be hiding?" Frank shrugs "A few dates and my second time." Cale and Allison's eyes widen. Meanwhile at the table where Jamie and her attorney, Luke Mason sits, Luke asks Jamie "Now if the chance does come that you're freed, wanna go up to where I live in the months that's name is shared with.." Jamie snarls "I want everything I earned back also." Luke quips "I can only do so much." Over at the table where Bree and Bobby sits, Bree is silent, as Jo tells everyone in the courtroom "I want a verdict now after reading all of that!" Luke stands, and yells "Your honor I know this is a town my client's family is known for buying people off, but I ask for a fair trial at most. Even at least two percent fairness." Bree stands, as she counters "I will be fair on prosecuting my Mother." Jamie glares towards her Daughter, as Jo laughs "Now everyone today we just get Jamie to tell us whether or not she's guilty, which we know she is. My God. That low to take your Sister's Husband Jamie?" Jamie snaps at Jo "It's Ms. Lord to you." Jo snaps back "And I'm the judge and you can kiss my soon to be retired after this case ass! Now I would just like a simple plea so we can all go back to our lives! Mine includes reading this paperwork." Luke looks at Jamie, as Bree also turns and stares at her Mother, as Bobby looks towards Jo, as she gives him a thumbs up. In the back, Frank tells them "She's always been sensitive. Why we never lasted. Then she married Jeffrey Chase, and they started a law firm together up in LaFayette for many years until he passed and she took the bench full time and sold the firm." On the other side of the room, Angelica sends a text to Roger, that reads "She's going to swim in the river after the trial with this judge."
At Class, Ruthie sits inside her Mother's former office, currently used by Ruthie, as she's following Sully's footsteps becoming a fashion designer, as Jared walks in and Ruthie asks her Father "I see you stay too busy to call me. Cain's on his way back to boarding school. I took him to the airport this morning and think we're growing closer though he idolizes that bum Henry too much." Ruthie takes a deep breath, as she looks at her Dad, and asks him "Why can't you and Mom reunite?" Jared tells his Daughter "Sully is different now. Too much like Xavier. That's not a good trait to have sweetie." Ruthie disagrees, telling her Father "Dad, if used correctly. Mom though seems weak with Henry. I don't like him at all. She's better than him." Bridget walks inside, as she tells Ruthie "I need some salespeople on the floor right now. Samantha Hale needs some help!" Jared hugs his Daughter, and tells her "Let's have dinner tonight and we'll talk more. Go help the team." Ruthie heads out, as Bridget looks at Jared, and laughs "Nice way to sneak down to visit me." Jared tells Bridget "We both had too much to drink at Jazz, and that was one time!" Bridget tells Jared "I'm almost about to be available since Wade can't get away from Granny." Jared reminds her "I'm raising Russ also on my own and I want to be single. And you're married to my Brother who I have to see daily. May I too add, I can't stand?" Bridget kisses Jared, as he doesn't fight back, as they wrap their arms around each other, as they try their best to stop themselves from passion. Meanwhile in the store, Ruthie sees Samantha, as she asks Ruthie "I told Bridget I didn't need assistance. Only about one thing non related to shopping." Ruthie takes a deep breath, with red in her eyes as she snarls "That whore." Jared walks out, as Bridget tells Ruthie "Well false alarm on help it seems." Samantha looks at Bridget, and tells her "You are lucky Sully hasn't fired you." Ruthie laughs "Mom keeps her on here to keep tabs on her." Bridget storms off, as Samantha asks Ruthie, changing subjects "So how did you know Ava's drinking?" Ruthie tells her "Mom. and Uncle Jack. I worry about the man Mom's seeing. He really enjoys anything alcohol and Mom turns the other way." Samantha looks at Ruthie, and tells her "If you need someone to talk to, call me. We are family, and I guess your Aunt." Ruthie hugs Samantha, as she leaves, and Ruthie walks upstairs, into Bridget's office, and boldly warns her "Ever interrupt my Dad and I from visiting again I'll tell Mom and well, she already told you the outcome." Bridget, in a snarky and cocky tone, laughs to Ruthie "Well you are innocent, and Mommies and Daddies move on. So get used to it. We share something much older than you." Now go to your area and draw me a picture little girl." Ruthie walks out, as she fumes with anger, as Bridget checks her email, as she opens one to reveal a photo, as Bridget gasps with fear in her eyes.
At The Holiday Hotel, Brock sits inside his suite, as Leigh walks around, and tells her Son "I have met with Monica, and I'll make sure you have what you deserve from Xavier whether he wants you to have it or not. He's about to get a taste of his own damn medicine." Brock tells his Mother "Gram sent me this last night." Leigh reads Beth's message to Brock, as Leigh yells "Beth can go to hell on her praises for a man that only loves those who praise him and never calls out his twisted bullshit he has done over the years!" Brock asks his Mother "So are we going to sell anymore stories so I can pay for this suite and you won't have to face the wrath of Dad?" Leigh tells her Son "He's going to take care of you. I'll make sure of that!" Leigh hugs her Son, as she leaves, and Brock heads downstairs, taking the stairs, as he sends a text, saying "I'll be down shortly."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Sully, Jack, and Javon are inside Sully's office as Sully tells them "All our retail chains are doing well. I'm going to try some things with Class and Emery's, but Jim's is Daddy's call." Javon tells them "We've really rebounded as a company and I am seeing something promising for us to consider." Javon pulls out his phone, as Sully and Jack looks, and Sully asks Javon "A school turned into lofts. Alford Lofts does sound nice and would be wise to buy into completely. Good area too." Javon asks Sully "Want to buy the property since there's a chance?" Sully nods, as Jack heads off to make the phone call, and Javon looks at Sully, and asks her "So what's with you dating a proud criminal like Henry Jennings?" Sully responds asking "How does it feel having a Great Uncle who is a proud killer named Sayyid Ross?" Javon is quiet, as he too heads to his office, as Sully returns to work, and thinks of Henry. At Sully's Mansion, Henry takes a drink, as his phone rings and he walks into the living room to answer it, and Jared warns Henry "If you hurt my children I'll make your days hell. Sully is a hell of a lot better than you and deserves better!" Henry yells at Jared "We are fine and you are jealous because Summer Whitten is dead and she would proudly give you what you wanted. Sully's moved on loser. You, Jared Hale is a loser. A sorry piece of shit Father of a loser." Jared starts to yell at Henry, as the doorbell rings, and Henry lays the phone down, and pours another glass of moonshine, as he heads to the door, and opens it and is silent, as the person at the door is quiet, and goes "Well it's all over back home. So here I am." Henry hugs them. Meanwhile, as he drives to HaleCorp, Jared notices no response, as he yells "Henry!" Henry!" Jared hangs up, with rage in his eyes. At Sully's Mansion, Henry welcomes the person inside and goes "Make yourself at home and I'll pour us a strong one."
Back at Adam's Landing Courthouse, Ava stands in the hallway, with her Brothers, Cale, Allison, Beth, Willie, and Aretha, as Ava takes a drink from her flask, as she shakes, and Beth assures her "Everything will be fine. Bobby's right there next to Bree and she's sending Jamie away forever. That judge's already on our side I think." Everyone agrees with Beth. Inside the Courtroom, Bree stands alone at her desk, as Country walks up and hugs his Daughter, and tells her "I love you." Angelica also walks inside, as she walks towards Jamie, as Luke sits next to her, and immediately warns Angelica "Stay away from Ms. Lord!" Angelica laughs in an evil tone "How's Jake, Russ, and Evan? Are you a hands on Granny.." Bree yells to the baliffs "Please have this woman removed from the courtroom!" Angelica warns Bree "Better win or the little whore you called Summer Whitten, her kids will be Hales, with the Hale name! And I'll make sure they are taught the Santiago family values unlike simpletons like yourself." Angelica walks out of the Courtroom, as Bree and Luke get their files ready when the judge walks back inside. Jamie is silent, with anger in her eyes. In the Judge's Chambers, Jo tells Bobby "She and her Brother hired a man to literally rape her Sister so she could sleep with Russell Marx and have him to herself. And then make Ava out to be the whore?" Bobby nods, and sighs "A dark time in the Jackson family saga. Ruth divorced B.R. once he covered things up with his donation." Jo sighs with sadness "That was B.R. Jackson. He ran this town. And I remember Ava before that happened. She was the sharpest mind I knew." Bobby sighs "She still is, but losing Winston, and all that pain really changed her. Were y'all friends?" Jo answers "Kind of. We both slept with Allan James once." Bobby laughs, as Jo asks her longtime friend "Ready to get the bitch's plea so we can just all go home?" Bobby nods, as Jo tells him "I'm honored to retire with this case. My son, Ryan wanted to also send his thanks." Bobby tells her "It was no problem. I'm just the mayor." They laugh as they head back to the Courtroom.
At HaleCorp, Jared returns, as Wade sits inside his office, and asks his Brother "So went to visit my Niece, and likely flirted with my Wife while there I take it knowing how we are." Jared snaps at his Brother "You don't know me like that! Bridget is in charge of Class, or so she thinks if I know Sully." Wade gets a call, and goes "Send him in." The door opens, as Brock walks inside and Wade tells Jared "He's going to be an intern for HaleCorp. Be our version of you basically at Jackson Inc when Xavier liked you." Brock is quiet, as Jared warns Wade "This is a bad idea. He is the Son of a man that would be thrilled if either of us was killed tomorrow." Brock adds "Me three!" Wade tells Jared in a cocky tone "Brock will work out fine here and Grandmother will be happy when I tell her later." Wade leaves, as Jared looks at Brock, and asks his former Brother In Law "How's being a grown up treating you? I read the story." Brock tells Jared "Life's been hell for me because I'm the namesake of Xavier Jackson and such a shadow to live up to. It's too damn much. Why I like to be called Brock." They begin to talk, as Wade listens outside, and gets an idea.
Back at Sully's Mansion, Henry and the guest lay back in the living room, as they ask in a slurred tone "Anymore of that stuff we just finished off?" Henry answers "Nope." The guests goes "Well damn! Now time to go buy some good hard stuff and get trashed. I'd prefer that in my old age." Henry asks the person "You've acted like something's happened. What happened?" The person tells him, which sends Henry into tears, as he and the person hug, as the door opens, and Sully stands back, as she is silent. At Class, Bridget sits inside her office, as Ginny arrives and tells Bridget "I was stuck in traffic." Bridget snarks "Likely lazy from the trip to the beach. If only we all could do that.." Ginny snaps at her boss "Why are you such a bitch?" Bridget gets up, and reminds Ginny in a calm tone "Since Wade considers you his Niece, you can call me Aunt Bridget and that's the reason there. Now go make some sales for the company so when Aunt Bridget strikes on her own, she has something to use to back up the talk." Ginny walks out, and heads to Ruthie's office, as Ruthie asks Ginny "Why do you bother talking to Bridget? My Mom owns this. She really runs things." Ginny sits down, as she tells her Cousin "She talks down to me like I'm below her and I've had enough of it." Ruthie laughs, as she finishes a design "We could always go see Mom at her office. It should be quiet today." Ruthie and Ginny heads to Jackson Inc. Inside Bridget's office, Bridget talks on the phone with Jared, as he's in his office at HaleCorp, and asks "So my place tonight around Midnight?" Bridget tells him "Maybe sooner. I've come up with a reason to not come home. Call you later." Bridget hangs up, as she looks up, and sighs "Wade, you've pushed me to this."
At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Ciarra walks inside with Precious, as she tells him "I needed that walk. Thank you for being nice today. I'm already shamed enough just walking by a coffee shop where there's television." Ciarra sits down, as there's a knock at the door, and Ciarra answers, as Leigh stands on the other end, and Ciarra warns Leigh, noticing a scheming eye "I'm not getting involved Leigh! It's between Xavier, and Brock. Now I want to go back to my life behind these curtains and have my solitude." Leigh tells her "If you love Brock, then you need to do it for him." Ciarra asks "Do what for Brock?" Leigh answers "I'll pay you back with interest if you can help him out. I want to save things with X." Ciarra is silent, as Leigh awaits her answer, and Ciarra goes "I'll call you on that." and shuts the door. Leigh grows angry, and makes a phone call. At The Adam's Landing Courthouse, Jo returns inside, after she laughs "Had to take a smoke break before returning. Now Jamie! Do we have the correct plea?" In the back, Ava, Frank, Beth, Xavier, Cale, Allison, Willie, Aretha, and Country sits on Bree's side of the Courtroom, as the door opens behind, as Rachel sneaks in, sitting behind Angelica, as she tells Rachel "Good thing to see you working for once." At Jamie's table, Luke argues to the Judge "This is a bullshit trail paid and bought by Xavier Jackson's family and Roger Lord! You read those papers I hope and know what's said in there! She's a poor victim of a sick, twisted bunch and we don't know if Summer's really dead or alive!" Bree yells from her side, with Bobby sitting next to her "This is my Mom playing the victim card. She didn't like seeing the things she has done to people done back to her, such as Roger and Summer's one night stand that the woman walked in and witnessed. Karma!" Jo laughs "Oh yes I'd say so. Even being set on fire by her own Sister one would think would stop this madness!" Jamie yells "I'm innocent damnit!" Jo laughs at Jamie "Are you pleading not guilty? All I wanna hear from you is a plea and court is over for today." Jamie yells "Damn right not guilty. I did NOT kill my Daughter!" Jo swings the gavel, as she releases the court, and Bobby heads to the judge's chambers, as Bree walks over to her Mother, and warns her "You will pay for taking my Sister from her three boys, and from me. All the things you've done to the people I love, you will pay heavy." The jailer arrives to take Jamie back to jail, as Jamie's silent, and Bree's embraced by her Father, as Country holds his Daughter as she cries with hurt, and anger. In the back, Frank gets emotional as well, as Beth and Cale console him, as Ava walks outside and Xavier, Willie, and Aretha follow, as Ava tells them "She's about to be away forever. Too damn long." Xavier, Willie, and Aretha comforts Ava, as Rachel and Angelica walk out, as Rachel looks at Angelica as she reads a text, and smiles "So he's really mine to have and you'll promise that to me?" Ava and Xavier notice Rachel, and Ava quips "At least she's not my problem anymore. Inside the Courtroom, Frank comforts his Niece, as Bobby assures Country "She's got this won." In a hallway heading towards the back of the Courthouse, Jamie is stopped by Jo, and is slapped forcefully, as Jo snaps angrily "That's for sleeping with my Husband you whore! Just know I'm going to enjoy watching you cringe in your chair as your story's told and I hold your fate. This will be exciting now won't it? I'd say it will." Jo leaves, as Jamie's carried back to jail.
A fictional serial set in the Southeastern City of Adam's Landing, and The Jackson, Sullivan, Hale, and Evans Families.

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 8. A Daughter's Quandry
It's the next morning in Adam's Landing, and at Hell Hill, Leigh walks downstairs, as she is silent, as she's alone and makes a phone call, telling the person on the other line "Meet me here to discuss what I mentioned last night." Leigh is silent, as she looks at her wedding portrait of her and Xavier, as she snarls "I'd never dreamed you'd turn into B.R. Jackson!" At Jackson Inc, Xavier sits inside his office, as Bobby stands inside, as does Sully and Henry and Jack, as Xavier asks Bobby "So who will be the judge at Jamie's trial?" Bobby takes a deep breath, and answers "A lady I know will send her straight to Lexington. Judge Jo." Sully asks "Who is she?" Henry tells Sully "She let me go once for a charge. But she's unpredictable as hell." Bobby assures them "Oh she already read up on the case, and told me to tell all of you she's going to enjoy herself. With her, that means entertainment and she really got into Ava's past. So it's safe to say Jamie's ass is about to be rotting in a cell." Xavier changes subjects, and asks "And who can tell me about this?" Xavier holds up his tablet, with the cover story to The Exposer, as Sully gasps, and asks "Did Aretha Evans get her computer hacked?" Xavier answers "No. This is your Mother Princess. She's still helping that bastard you have for a Brother and I have as a namesake and well, it's just about to get dirty." Bobby tells everyone "Well time to head down to the Courthouse." Xavier looks at his Nephew, and asks Jack "Are you going down there to support your Mother?" Jack sighs "After last night, she let me know she wanted her space." Jack walks out, as Sully tells Henry "I need to talk to Daddy for a moment and then we'll go to my office." Henry walks out, as Sully asks her Father "Are you going down to the Courthouse to support Aunt Ava?" Xavier nods, and adds "I got a meeting though today and I'll tell you later. Keep tabs on things here, and I'll come by after my meeting." Sully asks her Father, as Xavier opens the door "And who are you meeting?" Xavier kisses his Daughter, and whispers "It's secret for now." Xavier heads to the Courthouse, as Henry waits in the lobby, as he asks Sully "And is it now my cue to head home?" Sully kisses Henry, and tells him "It is. I'm about to meet with Mom today. Might be wise." Henry nods in agreement, and leaves, as Sully sits back, as she reads The Exposer, and says to herself "If you did this Mom, you just made a mistake you'll seriously regret."
At The ALPD, Bree sits inside her office, as Paul walks in, and tells Bree, holding a bag "The boys made you some gifts. We were expecting you last night." Bree tells Paul "I'm more preoccupied about bringing my Mother to justice once and for damn all. Killing my damn Sister was too much!" Paul reminds Bree "She owed money to Angelica Hale, and we know..." Bree yells "As much as it sickens me to say, Angelica the devil herself is actually innocent and provided evidence and has accepted to take the stand." Paul asks "And Ava?" Bree quips "Likely already at the Courthouse." In Jamie's cell, the jailer arrives, as he tells Jamie "You have a visitor." Jamie rolls her eyes, as she sighs with disgust "I don't want to see anyone." The jailer opens the cell, and boldly tells her "It's your Brother." Jamie walks into the visitation room, as Frank sits on the other side, as Jamie goes "I'm so thankful you survived that heart transplant and still here for.." Frank tells his Sister "Wait just a damn minute Jamie before you start this ass kissing session. I'm here to tell you that I will help Bree however I can to make sure you stay in jail. Jamie gasps "Frank! I tried to save your life. I did everything you.." Frank yells angrily at his Sister "And Cale filled me in once I recovered and Beth also added her two cents. You wanted me to die too? The only one in this damn family that had your back? You aren't who I thought you were. I defended you so many damn times. I should have stepped in and helped you and Junior go to Prison after what y'all did to Ava.." Jamie yells "Tell me, has that bitch ever helped you? Does she even give a shit about you Frank? Ava is a crazy demented drunk!" Frank snaps "You helped her get there a long time ago and now Jamie, you've lost me too and I will be taking that stand. I also finally read those excerpts from that trashy book and yeah Jamie, screw you. See you in court!" Frank walks out, as Jamie yells for the jailer, as he tells her "Time to head to the Courthouse."
At The Evans Home, Willie walks out of her bedroom, as Aretha asks her Mother "Looks like you're dressed for church!" Willie tells her Daughter "Ruth would be on the front row for this trial if she was here. She detested that little bitch so much. I'm going for her, and testifying." Aretha gets a text, as she sighs "Shit, that story has been seen by Xavier." Willie asks her Daughter "You didn't? I hope you didn't?" Aretha tells her Mother "Brock came by my office with Leigh and he told his story and I paid him for it since he was hurting for money.." Willie shakes her head, as she goes "Aretha that boy is pushing his buttons and played you." Aretha tells her Mother "Let's go to the Courthouse now, and we'll deal with Xavier when we get there. He's going to be there today." Willie warns her Daughter "Don't forget about that time you wrote about his Daughter Millie and his threats. You wrote about family Aretha for ratings. And that's going to bite you if you don't tell the truth to Xavier." Aretha asks her Mother "Have you heard anything from Ciarra?" Willie sighs with sadness "She's really down right now over Jamie's trial. I've wanted to check in with her, and she keeps blowing me off." Aretha hugs her Mother, and goes "If she ain't at the Courthouse, we'll just drop in when we leave." Willie warns "Best hope Beth ain't there. She may read you the riot act over this!" Aretha answers "I've spoke to her too and she is more angry at Brock and Leigh." Willie sighs "I feel another war brewing." Aretha opens the door, as she agrees with her Mother.
Meanwhile at Lord Incorporated, Roger sits inside his office, as he reads the morning news, with a smile on his face as he laughs "What happens when you cross me." The door opens, as Carver walks inside, and asks Roger "So still holding a grudge? Roger laughs "Well once Aretha saw that you weren't faithful that just ended things for the two of you. That was gratifying to watch." Carver takes a deep breath, and tells Roger "That was low for you. But what you are doing is lower." Roger asks Carver in a calm, yet distant tone "You mean playing the field? I'm currently playing around with Rachel Lane. That girl is great in bed. And if you want to keep a job, then best not get any ideas." Carver tells Roger "Don't worry about me sleeping with Rachel, but if I were you I'd get a STD test done. That girl's been around." Roger smiles "Which makes her such a freak in the bedroom. Now Carver I'm expecting a mutual friend and I request privacy." Carver walks out, as he tells Roger "If it's who I think, then I still have a woman." Roger laughs "Her sex toy. Only Angelica's sex toy." Carver walks out, rolling his eyes, as Roger sits in his office, and makes a phone call to Rachel, but to no response.
At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth walks inside with Precious, as she sighs "Cold weather and this spoiled dog doesn't mix." Ciarra is distant, as Beth asks her Aunt "Why aren't you dressed for the trial?" Ciarra goes "I'm not going Beth. I want to forget it. I just want to forget Jamie Lord lives and breathes. If only abortions had of been ok in those days. I'd had one. Worst mistake of my life, and the last words Tennessee told me before she passed away. I regret ever saying anything." Beth asks her Aunt "You did gain a Granddaughter in Bree, and she needs you down there." Ciarra tells Beth "I'm not Ruth, and I can't comfort her like she could. I just lucked out when it came to children. I wish Jamie was dead." Beth tells her Aunt "Well Aunt Ciarra, maybe go down there and say a few things and it might happen. That judge would love to hear your side." Ciarra tells her Niece "Just go and give Bree a hug from me and tell her I'm here if she needs me." Beth hugs her Aunt, with sadness, as she heads to the Courthouse.
Meanwhile back at Hell Hill, Monica sits inside the living room, as Leigh keeps a tab on a radio, as Monica asks "Why are you listening to security?" Leigh answers "In case Brock shows up I can let him in. Xavier's banned him from Hell Hill, Jackson Inc. And I'm the bad person for supporting my Son. I'm tired of it Monica. Damn tired of it!" Monica pulls out her briefcase, as she pulls out some files, and Leigh begins to look over them, and Monica asks Leigh "From all I've learned in this town over the years, are you sure about this?" Leigh tells Monica "I'm tired of watching my Husband turn into his Father. He plays favorites, and never given Brock a chance." Monica asks Leigh "Do you still love Xavier?" Leigh nods, but tells her "I think he needs a reality check. I want to give him a dose of his own medicine." Monica points to another file, and asks "And what about this?" Leigh puts the file in her purse, and goes "This is leverage. I'm doing to him, what Ruth would do to B.R. when he acted out of line." Monica heads to the door, as she warns Leigh "I'm only helping halfway, if you want to do the rest Leigh, then I'm praying for you." Monica leaves, as Leigh reads the files, and says to herself "If I am going to turn into the bitch, so be it. Brock won't be treated like Frank was treated by B.R.! I'll finish what Ruth threatened on him on Xavier! He won't like it, but karma's a bitch!"
At The Adam's Landing Courthouse, Ava sits inside the courtroom, as she takes a drink from her flask, as Cale and Allison arrive and sits next to her, as she asks "Where's Frank?" Cale tells his Aunt "He went to have a discussion with Jamie this morning. I think he's letting her know where she now stands." Ava quips "About damn time!" Beth arrives, as she hugs everyone, and goes "Terrance won't be making it today, and when Aretha arrives, we're going outside." Ava asks "What for Beth? That tone makes me think she must of pissed you off." Beth asks Ava "Did you read her tabloid headline?" Beth pulls out her phone, as Ava gasps, and Cale looks at his Wife, as they roll their eyes. Meanwhile Bobby walks inside and greets everyone, as Beth asks him "So are you ready for some privacy again since Paul and the boys are with you?" Bobby laughs "I sorta am Boss." Beth smiles, and tells Bobby "Thank you for looking out for Bree." Bobby humbly goes "I've always been the family lawyer, and being mayor won't stop me from looking out for the Jackson family." Ava meanwhile asks Beth "Where's Ciarra?" Beth answers "She's not coming down here. She's really having some difficulty with this. Two children, both turned out to be conniving whores." Ava sighs with sadness "Poor lady. She's always been one of the kindest people I've known, and she never deserved this." Beth agrees, as Frank arrives, and hugs his family and warns them "Bree is having a hard time." Cale tells his Father "We're all here, and she'll be ok." Frank hugs his Son and Daughter In Law, and tells them "Welcome home. I've missed y'all." In the elevator, Bree steps on, as Angelica stands in the corner, and asks Bree "So ready to go send your Mother to the chair?" Bree is silent, as Angelica warns Bree "Don't fail." Bree warns Angelica "Don't make threats to me you evil bitch! If you dare hurt one of Summer's Sons if my Mom does go free I will kill you myself." Angelica smiles, and snarls "I will take them from Paul, and your presence, and raise them myself. True Hales! The elevator door opens, as they head towards the courtroom, as Angelica stands at the door, and sends a text.
At The Sunset Club, in a private area, Xavier sits, as Country walks inside, and tells Xavier "Here's my info on Leigh. I'm surprised. But I tell ya that boy does need to be brought down some notches. Trying to grow up too fast and rebellious as hell." Xavier asks Country "So how is he adjusting to the dump over The Inn?" Country tells him "Leigh came over yesterday and told him to go with her.." Xavier is silent, and goes "That's why I seen a suite booked at The Holiday Hotel in my account. And I'll give you a pass due to finally doing something to truly gain back my respect." Country looks at Xavier, with tears, telling his once best friend "If I'd known she'd ever do this X I'd gutted her. I've felt like shit for letting her live, but she's Bree's Mother. And she's the one really having a hard time." Xavier tells Country "You're forgiven Brother. Now thank you for helping me learn this valuable information on my Wife, and now let's support Bree." Xavier and Country gets up as they head to the Courthouse. Meanwhile at the bar, Rachel sits, as she sends a text, that goes "Tell the editor that I've received gossip that.." Wade arrives, and asks "And what might that be?" Rachel looks at Wade and asks "And why aren't you at work getting me some scoop for my dream job, running a tabloid to go against Aretha thanks to Roger Lord." Wade tells Rachel "Jared's at the office and I felt like drinking." Rachel sighs "Is it Bridget?" Wade nods, and goes "She hates it here Rachel and Grandmother's acting strange." Rachel rolls her eyes, and laughs "Sounds like she's thirsty." Wade tells his longtime friend "Well our Son is growing up in Sugar Creek, and it's hard." Rachel tells him "My Son's up there and Eve Mathis kindly let me know to never come back after River and I split up." Rachel orders a drink, as Wade and Rachel look at each other passionately in silence, as he touches her hand.
At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her office, as she reads her Father's sales reports for Jim's, as she gets a message, and texts back "Send her in." Leigh walks inside, as she asks her Daughter "So when did you decide to have the closed door policy at the office? I see it's that way these days here." Sully asks her Mother, opening her purse, "Mom. I want you to be honest with me when you see this and tell me you didn't just drop to Jamie Lord's level." Sully shows her Mother the cover of The Exposer, as Leigh is silent, and slowly, and sternly reminds her Daughter "Sully, he's my Son, and your Brother. Family sticks together whether you like them or not. Not because X hasn't gotten over his mistakes doesn't mean Brock is deserving what.." Sully yells "Yes it does Mom! He's spoiled and you allowed it to happen! Daddy has accepted his part and is trying to change it. Time for you to do the same!" Leigh slaps her Daughter, as she goes And X spoiled you and bought you Class." Sully snaps "He and Grandma were hard on me but I knew he loved me and was Mom too. So if this will be all, I have to go back to work and I'll talk to you at dinner tonight." Leigh starts to open her purse, as Sully looks up, and glares, as Leigh laughs "Looking for my keys." Leigh leaves, as Sully rolls her eyes. At the Adam's Landing Courthouse, Beth and Aretha are in the hallway, as Ava, Frank, Willie, Cale, Allison, and Angelica has arrived. Aretha tells Beth "I really didn't want to get in the middle of this and I thought we'd discussed this." Beth warns Aretha "Leigh will not put my family in the headlines so Brock can make money. And next time she tries to call you, call me immediately to fix the bitch myself." Xavier and Country arrives, as Beth hugs her Son, and tells him "Everyone's inside and I think it's about to start." In the Courtroom, Ava sits next to her Brother, as Frank sits next to Cale and Allison, as Angelica sits to herself silently. Beth, Aretha, and Xavier walk inside and take their seats, as Willie tells Aretha "I wanted to sit near the devil. Something's off about this." Aretha whispers "It's usually a dark cloud about to drop a tornado since it's Angelica Hale we're discussing Mama." In the hallway behind the courtroom, in front of the Judge's chambers, Bobby, and Country stands next to Bree, as Country hugs his Daughter, as Bree tells him "I can't do it Dad. I can't." Country tells her "Yes you can because you are the smartest person I know and I'm proud to know you're my Daughter." The Judge walks out of the chambers, as Bobby follows the judge, as the Judge asks "And you didn't mention the one sending Jamie Lord to the beautiful Midwest is her own Daughter. Now isn't that uh, unorthodox of proceedings." Bobby answers "And remember that check you now have." The Judge smiles "Ah yes, this is my retirement trial. Afterwards I intend to stay home and enjoy my days outside this courthouse." Bree and Country walks inside, as Bree takes her place, and Country joins Xavier and Beth. Jamie's lawyer arrives, as the jailer walks inside with Jamie, as Ava gets up and walks towards her Sister, and tells her "I hope they give you a firing squad execution. I'll promise to make it happen." Jamie keeps walking, as she stops where her Daughter sits, and tells her coldly "Bree, I hate you. I disown you and remember who brought you in the world can take you out." Bree asks "Threats?" Jamie is taken to her side, as Bree sits at her table, and gets emotional, as Bobby sits next to her, and hugs her, as the bailiff yells "All rise for Judge Jo Chase." The Judge walks inside and takes her seat, as Jamie's trial begins.
At The ALPD, Bree sits inside her office, as Paul walks in, and tells Bree, holding a bag "The boys made you some gifts. We were expecting you last night." Bree tells Paul "I'm more preoccupied about bringing my Mother to justice once and for damn all. Killing my damn Sister was too much!" Paul reminds Bree "She owed money to Angelica Hale, and we know..." Bree yells "As much as it sickens me to say, Angelica the devil herself is actually innocent and provided evidence and has accepted to take the stand." Paul asks "And Ava?" Bree quips "Likely already at the Courthouse." In Jamie's cell, the jailer arrives, as he tells Jamie "You have a visitor." Jamie rolls her eyes, as she sighs with disgust "I don't want to see anyone." The jailer opens the cell, and boldly tells her "It's your Brother." Jamie walks into the visitation room, as Frank sits on the other side, as Jamie goes "I'm so thankful you survived that heart transplant and still here for.." Frank tells his Sister "Wait just a damn minute Jamie before you start this ass kissing session. I'm here to tell you that I will help Bree however I can to make sure you stay in jail. Jamie gasps "Frank! I tried to save your life. I did everything you.." Frank yells angrily at his Sister "And Cale filled me in once I recovered and Beth also added her two cents. You wanted me to die too? The only one in this damn family that had your back? You aren't who I thought you were. I defended you so many damn times. I should have stepped in and helped you and Junior go to Prison after what y'all did to Ava.." Jamie yells "Tell me, has that bitch ever helped you? Does she even give a shit about you Frank? Ava is a crazy demented drunk!" Frank snaps "You helped her get there a long time ago and now Jamie, you've lost me too and I will be taking that stand. I also finally read those excerpts from that trashy book and yeah Jamie, screw you. See you in court!" Frank walks out, as Jamie yells for the jailer, as he tells her "Time to head to the Courthouse."
At The Evans Home, Willie walks out of her bedroom, as Aretha asks her Mother "Looks like you're dressed for church!" Willie tells her Daughter "Ruth would be on the front row for this trial if she was here. She detested that little bitch so much. I'm going for her, and testifying." Aretha gets a text, as she sighs "Shit, that story has been seen by Xavier." Willie asks her Daughter "You didn't? I hope you didn't?" Aretha tells her Mother "Brock came by my office with Leigh and he told his story and I paid him for it since he was hurting for money.." Willie shakes her head, as she goes "Aretha that boy is pushing his buttons and played you." Aretha tells her Mother "Let's go to the Courthouse now, and we'll deal with Xavier when we get there. He's going to be there today." Willie warns her Daughter "Don't forget about that time you wrote about his Daughter Millie and his threats. You wrote about family Aretha for ratings. And that's going to bite you if you don't tell the truth to Xavier." Aretha asks her Mother "Have you heard anything from Ciarra?" Willie sighs with sadness "She's really down right now over Jamie's trial. I've wanted to check in with her, and she keeps blowing me off." Aretha hugs her Mother, and goes "If she ain't at the Courthouse, we'll just drop in when we leave." Willie warns "Best hope Beth ain't there. She may read you the riot act over this!" Aretha answers "I've spoke to her too and she is more angry at Brock and Leigh." Willie sighs "I feel another war brewing." Aretha opens the door, as she agrees with her Mother.
Meanwhile at Lord Incorporated, Roger sits inside his office, as he reads the morning news, with a smile on his face as he laughs "What happens when you cross me." The door opens, as Carver walks inside, and asks Roger "So still holding a grudge? Roger laughs "Well once Aretha saw that you weren't faithful that just ended things for the two of you. That was gratifying to watch." Carver takes a deep breath, and tells Roger "That was low for you. But what you are doing is lower." Roger asks Carver in a calm, yet distant tone "You mean playing the field? I'm currently playing around with Rachel Lane. That girl is great in bed. And if you want to keep a job, then best not get any ideas." Carver tells Roger "Don't worry about me sleeping with Rachel, but if I were you I'd get a STD test done. That girl's been around." Roger smiles "Which makes her such a freak in the bedroom. Now Carver I'm expecting a mutual friend and I request privacy." Carver walks out, as he tells Roger "If it's who I think, then I still have a woman." Roger laughs "Her sex toy. Only Angelica's sex toy." Carver walks out, rolling his eyes, as Roger sits in his office, and makes a phone call to Rachel, but to no response.
At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth walks inside with Precious, as she sighs "Cold weather and this spoiled dog doesn't mix." Ciarra is distant, as Beth asks her Aunt "Why aren't you dressed for the trial?" Ciarra goes "I'm not going Beth. I want to forget it. I just want to forget Jamie Lord lives and breathes. If only abortions had of been ok in those days. I'd had one. Worst mistake of my life, and the last words Tennessee told me before she passed away. I regret ever saying anything." Beth asks her Aunt "You did gain a Granddaughter in Bree, and she needs you down there." Ciarra tells Beth "I'm not Ruth, and I can't comfort her like she could. I just lucked out when it came to children. I wish Jamie was dead." Beth tells her Aunt "Well Aunt Ciarra, maybe go down there and say a few things and it might happen. That judge would love to hear your side." Ciarra tells her Niece "Just go and give Bree a hug from me and tell her I'm here if she needs me." Beth hugs her Aunt, with sadness, as she heads to the Courthouse.
Meanwhile back at Hell Hill, Monica sits inside the living room, as Leigh keeps a tab on a radio, as Monica asks "Why are you listening to security?" Leigh answers "In case Brock shows up I can let him in. Xavier's banned him from Hell Hill, Jackson Inc. And I'm the bad person for supporting my Son. I'm tired of it Monica. Damn tired of it!" Monica pulls out her briefcase, as she pulls out some files, and Leigh begins to look over them, and Monica asks Leigh "From all I've learned in this town over the years, are you sure about this?" Leigh tells Monica "I'm tired of watching my Husband turn into his Father. He plays favorites, and never given Brock a chance." Monica asks Leigh "Do you still love Xavier?" Leigh nods, but tells her "I think he needs a reality check. I want to give him a dose of his own medicine." Monica points to another file, and asks "And what about this?" Leigh puts the file in her purse, and goes "This is leverage. I'm doing to him, what Ruth would do to B.R. when he acted out of line." Monica heads to the door, as she warns Leigh "I'm only helping halfway, if you want to do the rest Leigh, then I'm praying for you." Monica leaves, as Leigh reads the files, and says to herself "If I am going to turn into the bitch, so be it. Brock won't be treated like Frank was treated by B.R.! I'll finish what Ruth threatened on him on Xavier! He won't like it, but karma's a bitch!"
At The Adam's Landing Courthouse, Ava sits inside the courtroom, as she takes a drink from her flask, as Cale and Allison arrive and sits next to her, as she asks "Where's Frank?" Cale tells his Aunt "He went to have a discussion with Jamie this morning. I think he's letting her know where she now stands." Ava quips "About damn time!" Beth arrives, as she hugs everyone, and goes "Terrance won't be making it today, and when Aretha arrives, we're going outside." Ava asks "What for Beth? That tone makes me think she must of pissed you off." Beth asks Ava "Did you read her tabloid headline?" Beth pulls out her phone, as Ava gasps, and Cale looks at his Wife, as they roll their eyes. Meanwhile Bobby walks inside and greets everyone, as Beth asks him "So are you ready for some privacy again since Paul and the boys are with you?" Bobby laughs "I sorta am Boss." Beth smiles, and tells Bobby "Thank you for looking out for Bree." Bobby humbly goes "I've always been the family lawyer, and being mayor won't stop me from looking out for the Jackson family." Ava meanwhile asks Beth "Where's Ciarra?" Beth answers "She's not coming down here. She's really having some difficulty with this. Two children, both turned out to be conniving whores." Ava sighs with sadness "Poor lady. She's always been one of the kindest people I've known, and she never deserved this." Beth agrees, as Frank arrives, and hugs his family and warns them "Bree is having a hard time." Cale tells his Father "We're all here, and she'll be ok." Frank hugs his Son and Daughter In Law, and tells them "Welcome home. I've missed y'all." In the elevator, Bree steps on, as Angelica stands in the corner, and asks Bree "So ready to go send your Mother to the chair?" Bree is silent, as Angelica warns Bree "Don't fail." Bree warns Angelica "Don't make threats to me you evil bitch! If you dare hurt one of Summer's Sons if my Mom does go free I will kill you myself." Angelica smiles, and snarls "I will take them from Paul, and your presence, and raise them myself. True Hales! The elevator door opens, as they head towards the courtroom, as Angelica stands at the door, and sends a text.
At The Sunset Club, in a private area, Xavier sits, as Country walks inside, and tells Xavier "Here's my info on Leigh. I'm surprised. But I tell ya that boy does need to be brought down some notches. Trying to grow up too fast and rebellious as hell." Xavier asks Country "So how is he adjusting to the dump over The Inn?" Country tells him "Leigh came over yesterday and told him to go with her.." Xavier is silent, and goes "That's why I seen a suite booked at The Holiday Hotel in my account. And I'll give you a pass due to finally doing something to truly gain back my respect." Country looks at Xavier, with tears, telling his once best friend "If I'd known she'd ever do this X I'd gutted her. I've felt like shit for letting her live, but she's Bree's Mother. And she's the one really having a hard time." Xavier tells Country "You're forgiven Brother. Now thank you for helping me learn this valuable information on my Wife, and now let's support Bree." Xavier and Country gets up as they head to the Courthouse. Meanwhile at the bar, Rachel sits, as she sends a text, that goes "Tell the editor that I've received gossip that.." Wade arrives, and asks "And what might that be?" Rachel looks at Wade and asks "And why aren't you at work getting me some scoop for my dream job, running a tabloid to go against Aretha thanks to Roger Lord." Wade tells Rachel "Jared's at the office and I felt like drinking." Rachel sighs "Is it Bridget?" Wade nods, and goes "She hates it here Rachel and Grandmother's acting strange." Rachel rolls her eyes, and laughs "Sounds like she's thirsty." Wade tells his longtime friend "Well our Son is growing up in Sugar Creek, and it's hard." Rachel tells him "My Son's up there and Eve Mathis kindly let me know to never come back after River and I split up." Rachel orders a drink, as Wade and Rachel look at each other passionately in silence, as he touches her hand.
At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her office, as she reads her Father's sales reports for Jim's, as she gets a message, and texts back "Send her in." Leigh walks inside, as she asks her Daughter "So when did you decide to have the closed door policy at the office? I see it's that way these days here." Sully asks her Mother, opening her purse, "Mom. I want you to be honest with me when you see this and tell me you didn't just drop to Jamie Lord's level." Sully shows her Mother the cover of The Exposer, as Leigh is silent, and slowly, and sternly reminds her Daughter "Sully, he's my Son, and your Brother. Family sticks together whether you like them or not. Not because X hasn't gotten over his mistakes doesn't mean Brock is deserving what.." Sully yells "Yes it does Mom! He's spoiled and you allowed it to happen! Daddy has accepted his part and is trying to change it. Time for you to do the same!" Leigh slaps her Daughter, as she goes And X spoiled you and bought you Class." Sully snaps "He and Grandma were hard on me but I knew he loved me and was Mom too. So if this will be all, I have to go back to work and I'll talk to you at dinner tonight." Leigh starts to open her purse, as Sully looks up, and glares, as Leigh laughs "Looking for my keys." Leigh leaves, as Sully rolls her eyes. At the Adam's Landing Courthouse, Beth and Aretha are in the hallway, as Ava, Frank, Willie, Cale, Allison, and Angelica has arrived. Aretha tells Beth "I really didn't want to get in the middle of this and I thought we'd discussed this." Beth warns Aretha "Leigh will not put my family in the headlines so Brock can make money. And next time she tries to call you, call me immediately to fix the bitch myself." Xavier and Country arrives, as Beth hugs her Son, and tells him "Everyone's inside and I think it's about to start."

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 7: The Great Reboot
It's now three months since we've last visited Adam's Landing, and we will pick up our show from where we left off, and then move up three months. There were many stories and brewing wars on the rise, and returning. And we now will be getting back to the classic D&D basics and refresh, yet finish where we left off.
Three Months Later In Adam's Landing,
It's three months later in Adam's Landing, and things have changed for many in a short time. At Hell Hill, Leigh sits inside the living room, silent as Xavier walks out of his office and asks his Wife "Let's go to Mother's and have dinner my love.." Leigh slaps her Husband and snaps angrily "Just know something X, if you win, then we are done! Damnit I mean DONE!" Xavier warns his Wife "The way it looks, we all but are anyway so let's play pretend for our Princess, and maybe Gracie if she shows up." Leigh yells "Why can't you call our Son so he can join us?" Xavier yells "Ok let's go! If you wanna do it this way, I can do the damn same and my namesake has failed me and I will never forgive him! And I wish you could do the same!!" They walk out, as Leigh pulls out her phone and reads a message and replies "Meet me tomorrow to discuss that."
At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her new office, as Jack walks inside, and asks his Cousin "Staying late?" Sully tells him "With all the friction right now between my parents, and with the whore and.." Jack laughs as he asks "Which whore may we be referring to cousin? Rachel? Aunt Jamie?" Sully laughs "Jamie I doubt will be a concern for much longer with what's coming for her." Jack sighs with relief "At least it's made my Mother slow down on the bottle." Sully's phone rings, as Jack heads out, as Sully goes "I want those files tonight!" Sully hangs up, as she takes a deep breath, as she reads a text, and sighs with disgust "Time for the bitch to know where she stands."
At Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the living room, as evening has fallen, as she makes a phone call but gets no answer. Ava takes a deep breath, as she says to herself "Poor Bree." There's a knock at the door, as Ava answers to find Angelica at the door and walks in as she tells Ava "We have a problem at HaleCorp. I'm tasting that quench for bloodshed." Ava asks "Wade? Jared?" Angelica mumbles "Jared. And my Grandson's Wife Bridget!" Ava sighs "I asked Sully why she let her go back to work at Class, and she smiled and went "To keep a watchful eye on my enemy." Angelica smiles and goes "That girl takes after her Father." Ava quips "She does, but Xavier would kill them dead. I recommend she do that to Bridget too!" Angelica asks "So are you going to the Courthouse tomorrow?" Ava nods, and smiles "A long damn time coming!" Angelica heads to the door, and tells her "She pushed her limits, and now she's going to pay for it." Angelica leaves, as Ava looks at her Christmas Tree, as the Holiday Season's passed, and smiles "Yes a very long time coming it has. Thank you Winston. I miss you my sweet old Grinch." Ava kisses his photo that's on the mantle, as she has a thought, and makes a phone call.
Meanwhile at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth, Ciarra, and Ruthie are inside the kitchen, as Beth asks her Great-Granddaughter "And where is your Mama? I told her to slow down and I'm kind of dreading this tonight." Ruthie asks her Great-Grandmother "So since I can drive, maybe you could help Mom and push my Papaw to make her get me a car?" Ciarra quips to her Great-Niece "I'll let you have mine. I don't plan to leave this apartment again." Beth rolls her eyes, as she sighs "Damnit Aunt Ciarra I know it's not your most favorite time and with this trial about to start.." Ruthie looks at them, and checks her phone and tells them "Mom's taking a rain check so I have to meet her downstairs." Beth hugs her Great-Granddaughter, and warns her "Tell Sully I said to slow down!" Ciarra also hugs Ruthie as she leaves, and Beth asks her Aunt "And what shall I expect when Xavier and Leigh arrive?" Ciarra answers distantly "A hopefully pleasant dinner for our late Christmas." On the road, Xavier drives the SUV, as Leigh sits in the passenger's seat as she glares at her phone silently, as she reads a story on the 'The Exposer', titled "Son of X Sr Tells All!!", glaring angrily, turning to her Husband as Xavier looks ahead and is silent.
At Bree's Mansion, Bree is silent, as she looks through photos, and cries as the door opens and turns to see her Uncle, as Frank laughs "Might be cold but was worried about you about this trial coming." Bree runs to his arms, and cries "How could my Mother be like this? How? Is this really what I have and a sometime Father?" Frank reminds his Niece "You've got me, and Aunt Beth and Aunt Ava, and so many people. Can you do this?" Bree yells "Yes! I wish people would stop asking that!" Frank reminds her "Well not everyday does a Daughter go to the courtroom to send her Mother to Prison for murdering her other Daughter, and your little Sister." Bree tells her Uncle "Dad's doing some research on that but otherwise she needs to pay and I see the light now. Maybe Xavier was right all along." Frank hugs his Niece, and laughs humbly "Well sometimes he does. And most times he's just an asshole like my Daddy was." Bree laughs, and goes "I needed to do that." Frank asks "Do?" Bree answers "Laugh." Frank looks around, and asks his Niece "Since Paul and the kids moved in with Bobby, how about you just come stay with me at the Farm?" Bree sighs as she stares at her paperwork "But with all this stuff to do to prepare to send my Mom to Lexington Women's Prison.." Frank asks "Do I really need to ask you again?" Bree takes a deep breath, and walks up to her Uncle, and tells him fighting tears "You are the only parent besides Grandma Ruth I've ever known.. I love you..." Frank holds Bree in his arms, as he tells her "And you will always be my favorite girl."
Meanwhile at Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Wade greets his Wife, as they are naked and Bridget tells her Husband "I love it that the evil old bitch is staying in her old bloody manor." Wade quips "And you hate this place and look at the nice thing she did for us. She has a life besides tormenting you. Now want to get back to where we were?" Wade and Bridget begin to have sex, as the door opens, and Angelica looks into the living room, and tells her Grandson and his Wife "Don't let my presence stop you from enjoying a blue collar whore's street tricks." Bridget snaps, walking up to Angelica covering herself with a sheet "How about you go back home to South America? Back to the place you and your family kill for royalty and use sick games to.." Wade yells at his Wife "Stop fighting with Grandmother" Angelica heads to the stairway, as she looks at her watch, and tells Wade "She is testing my kindness." Bridget laughs with anger "What kindness?" Angelica walks up to her and answers "The kind of kindness and respect to someone we know that keeps me from doing a select few things to you to forever damage you. Such as when you were cut up in that jail by Sully? And then the money I gave Wade to.." Wade pulls up a sheet, and gets up and yells at his Wife and Grandmother "Enough!" Angelica smiles to Wade, and tells her Grandson "I'm going to my room and take a sedative. Goodnight my sweet prince." Angelica turns to Bridget, and goes "Hope you enjoy my present to you tomorrow. Consider it a late Christmas." Angelica walks upstairs, as Bridget takes a deep breath, and warns Wade "I've had enough with this arrangement. Stop kissing her ass!" Wade quickly tells his Wife with frustration "Let's go to our separate rooms and call this a night." Both only covering their bodies with sheets, heads to their separate bedrooms. Upstairs, Angelica sends a text, with a smile, as she types "And hope you had a Merry Christmas to you as well dear. I promise not to kill the little whore and if I do, then I'll let you take Wade lol." She quickly gets a response, saying "Haha Santiago. And you know I would too."
At Sully's new Mansion near Hell Hill, Henry sits in the living room, as he drinks from his bottle of liquor, as Sully and Ruthie walks inside, and Sully quips to her boyfriend "Looks like you are enjoying Daddy's gift he gave you for Christmas." Henry yells "Xavier Jackson is a hell of a man! This is some high dollar shit he gave me for Christmas for working on that Storm Shelter." Ruthie takes a deep breath, as she tells her Mother "I'm going upstairs for the evening Mom." Sully hugs her Daughter, as Ruthie heads to her room, as Sully asks Henry "So when are you going to follow through on your promise to come to family gatherings?" Henry, in a drunken tone, slurs "When Leigh stops judging me. Snooty ass bitch. The old lady Ciarra I think, well her too." Sully tells him "They are just overprotective and Aunt Ciarra has always been very private but warm and loving towards me and my family, and she said she thinks you are a good man and happy for us. Something Mom hasn't said." Henry laughs "Well score one for Ms. Sullivan!" Sully sits next to Henry, and looks at the bottle he drinks from, and sighs with a smile "That's the family special moonshine you know. Only few get a bottle. From my Great-Grandpa B.R. Jackson's private stash hidden somewhere at Hell Hill. And I think Daddy likely told you the rest." Henry nods, and kisses Sully, as she tells him "I'm going to talk to my Daughter and call my Mother. You just enjoy yourself." Henry drinks, as Sully goes to Ruthie's bedroom, as she writes in her diary "I'm scared for my family."
Back at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth, Ciarra, Xavier, and Leigh sits in the living room, as Beth asks her Son "So Gracie's staying in Washington for Christmas?" Leigh snides "Who'd want to come back to a home where your Father plays favorites." Xavier grows angry, as Ciarra reminds Leigh "He did help Faye steal my SUV. Although my sweet nephew Xavier bought me a car, I understand his hurt." Beth adds "And helping that bitch that nearly killed Frank and letting her Mother go nearly did it for me." Leigh yells "Brock is a good kid. He has a big heart and made mistakes everyone!" Xavier gets up and storms out, as Beth rolls her eyes, as Leigh asks her Mother In Law "And are you going to take up for him like you always do Beth?" Beth warns her Daughter In Law "You're turning into a bitch. I like that Henry Sully is seeing, and I understand my Son, and apparently better than you." Outside, Xavier is on the phone, as he tells someone on the other line "She's doing what? You got to be shitting me. Seriously?" Xavier is silent, as his eyes begin to turn red, and tells the person on the other line "Meet me in my office tomorrow morning and we will fix that shit!" Xavier hangs up, and goes back inside, as he tells Leigh "I'm ready to call it a night. I'm glad Christmas is over!" Leigh snarls, as Beth glares at Leigh, as Ciarra has went to bed for the night "I'm tired of hearing your Mother cover for your errors in parenting!" Beth defensively yells at Leigh "My Son raised Sully as a single Father when we all thought you'd been killed, and he's been amazing to the twins as well!" Leigh asks her Husband "Does it make you happy Mommy here defends you?" Xavier coldly and quietly murmurs "We're going home. Let's Go." Xavier and Leigh storms out, as Leigh tells Xavier "You will regret what you're doing to our Son." Xavier tells his Wife in a silent tone "Shut the hell up. I've heard all I want from you." Beth stands at the door, as she watches, and shakes her head and sends a text to Brock, who lays on a couch, as the text reads "Get your shit together and make peace with your Father or Gram's kicking your ass." Brock is silent, as rage fills his eyes.
As night's fallen upon Adam's Landing, at Whispering Hills, Jack sits in the living room, as Ava tells her Son "Tomorrow my damn Sister's going to get her just due and I'm nailing her ass to the wall!" Jack sighs "Mom, I hope you're ready to relive the past when you are called up to testify." Ava quips "Oh I've been waiting for this since a couple months before you were born and people didn't send texts instead of calling their Mothers." Jack tells his Mother "Well Samantha and I have decided to keep this from J.J.. He's too emotional and after he found your guest for Aunt Beth.." Ava sighs "Jack, just shut the hell up about it and go home for the night. I'm ready to have my shot and pass out." Jack warns "Another thing Mom, this glass you're constantly holding's really bothering me and I think.." Ava yells "Go home!" Jack walks out, as Ava locks the door, and takes a drink of liquor and snarls "I don't have a damn problem except for my Son's Wife trying to acting all perfect and judging me. Screw her, and if Jack wants to be whipped, hell screw him too." At The Farm, Frank walks inside, as he tells Bree "Tomorrow Cale, Allison, and Ginny's returning from the Beach." Bree sighs with a distant tone "Good for them. Tomorrow I stand before a judge I've never met and attempt to send my Mother away forever." Bree gets emotional, as she yells with anger "What happened to her?" Frank holds his Niece, and they sit on the couch, as he tells her gently "She's always been like this. When she met Roger and got all that work done, then she really let it go to her head. Wasn't for your Mama Bree, Your Grandparents wouldn't of divorced." Bree asks "When Ava was raped?" Frank nods, and goes "Jamie deserves whatever that judge decides and you just do your job and try and forget she's your Mother." Bree tells her Uncle "I'm just an orphan now. Jamie will get what she deserves." Frank hugs Bree, and tells her "Rest up now. You have a big day ahead tomorrow." Frank heads to his bedroom, as he sends a text to Beth, that reads "We need to be there for Bree. She's so down and it's really hurting me." Beth responds "I know the judge Bobby picked. She's going away for a long damn time! I promise that!" At the ALPD, in a cell, Jamie sits, as Roger stands on the other side, and asks "Ready for your close up tomorrow?" Jamie warns her Husband "Just know if I am free I'm going after you ALL! All of you bastards!" Roger quips "Good luck whore. And here's a photo to keep you happy dear." Roger hands a photo to his Wife, as he says to himself "Now you'll know the feeling you sad pathetic whore." Jamie looks at the photo, as rage fills her eyes, and she coldly goes "That's a mistake you'll pay for you selfish bitch."
Three Months Later In Adam's Landing,
It's three months later in Adam's Landing, and things have changed for many in a short time. At Hell Hill, Leigh sits inside the living room, silent as Xavier walks out of his office and asks his Wife "Let's go to Mother's and have dinner my love.." Leigh slaps her Husband and snaps angrily "Just know something X, if you win, then we are done! Damnit I mean DONE!" Xavier warns his Wife "The way it looks, we all but are anyway so let's play pretend for our Princess, and maybe Gracie if she shows up." Leigh yells "Why can't you call our Son so he can join us?" Xavier yells "Ok let's go! If you wanna do it this way, I can do the damn same and my namesake has failed me and I will never forgive him! And I wish you could do the same!!" They walk out, as Leigh pulls out her phone and reads a message and replies "Meet me tomorrow to discuss that."
At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her new office, as Jack walks inside, and asks his Cousin "Staying late?" Sully tells him "With all the friction right now between my parents, and with the whore and.." Jack laughs as he asks "Which whore may we be referring to cousin? Rachel? Aunt Jamie?" Sully laughs "Jamie I doubt will be a concern for much longer with what's coming for her." Jack sighs with relief "At least it's made my Mother slow down on the bottle." Sully's phone rings, as Jack heads out, as Sully goes "I want those files tonight!" Sully hangs up, as she takes a deep breath, as she reads a text, and sighs with disgust "Time for the bitch to know where she stands."
At Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the living room, as evening has fallen, as she makes a phone call but gets no answer. Ava takes a deep breath, as she says to herself "Poor Bree." There's a knock at the door, as Ava answers to find Angelica at the door and walks in as she tells Ava "We have a problem at HaleCorp. I'm tasting that quench for bloodshed." Ava asks "Wade? Jared?" Angelica mumbles "Jared. And my Grandson's Wife Bridget!" Ava sighs "I asked Sully why she let her go back to work at Class, and she smiled and went "To keep a watchful eye on my enemy." Angelica smiles and goes "That girl takes after her Father." Ava quips "She does, but Xavier would kill them dead. I recommend she do that to Bridget too!" Angelica asks "So are you going to the Courthouse tomorrow?" Ava nods, and smiles "A long damn time coming!" Angelica heads to the door, and tells her "She pushed her limits, and now she's going to pay for it." Angelica leaves, as Ava looks at her Christmas Tree, as the Holiday Season's passed, and smiles "Yes a very long time coming it has. Thank you Winston. I miss you my sweet old Grinch." Ava kisses his photo that's on the mantle, as she has a thought, and makes a phone call.
Meanwhile at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth, Ciarra, and Ruthie are inside the kitchen, as Beth asks her Great-Granddaughter "And where is your Mama? I told her to slow down and I'm kind of dreading this tonight." Ruthie asks her Great-Grandmother "So since I can drive, maybe you could help Mom and push my Papaw to make her get me a car?" Ciarra quips to her Great-Niece "I'll let you have mine. I don't plan to leave this apartment again." Beth rolls her eyes, as she sighs "Damnit Aunt Ciarra I know it's not your most favorite time and with this trial about to start.." Ruthie looks at them, and checks her phone and tells them "Mom's taking a rain check so I have to meet her downstairs." Beth hugs her Great-Granddaughter, and warns her "Tell Sully I said to slow down!" Ciarra also hugs Ruthie as she leaves, and Beth asks her Aunt "And what shall I expect when Xavier and Leigh arrive?" Ciarra answers distantly "A hopefully pleasant dinner for our late Christmas." On the road, Xavier drives the SUV, as Leigh sits in the passenger's seat as she glares at her phone silently, as she reads a story on the 'The Exposer', titled "Son of X Sr Tells All!!", glaring angrily, turning to her Husband as Xavier looks ahead and is silent.
At Bree's Mansion, Bree is silent, as she looks through photos, and cries as the door opens and turns to see her Uncle, as Frank laughs "Might be cold but was worried about you about this trial coming." Bree runs to his arms, and cries "How could my Mother be like this? How? Is this really what I have and a sometime Father?" Frank reminds his Niece "You've got me, and Aunt Beth and Aunt Ava, and so many people. Can you do this?" Bree yells "Yes! I wish people would stop asking that!" Frank reminds her "Well not everyday does a Daughter go to the courtroom to send her Mother to Prison for murdering her other Daughter, and your little Sister." Bree tells her Uncle "Dad's doing some research on that but otherwise she needs to pay and I see the light now. Maybe Xavier was right all along." Frank hugs his Niece, and laughs humbly "Well sometimes he does. And most times he's just an asshole like my Daddy was." Bree laughs, and goes "I needed to do that." Frank asks "Do?" Bree answers "Laugh." Frank looks around, and asks his Niece "Since Paul and the kids moved in with Bobby, how about you just come stay with me at the Farm?" Bree sighs as she stares at her paperwork "But with all this stuff to do to prepare to send my Mom to Lexington Women's Prison.." Frank asks "Do I really need to ask you again?" Bree takes a deep breath, and walks up to her Uncle, and tells him fighting tears "You are the only parent besides Grandma Ruth I've ever known.. I love you..." Frank holds Bree in his arms, as he tells her "And you will always be my favorite girl."
Meanwhile at Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Wade greets his Wife, as they are naked and Bridget tells her Husband "I love it that the evil old bitch is staying in her old bloody manor." Wade quips "And you hate this place and look at the nice thing she did for us. She has a life besides tormenting you. Now want to get back to where we were?" Wade and Bridget begin to have sex, as the door opens, and Angelica looks into the living room, and tells her Grandson and his Wife "Don't let my presence stop you from enjoying a blue collar whore's street tricks." Bridget snaps, walking up to Angelica covering herself with a sheet "How about you go back home to South America? Back to the place you and your family kill for royalty and use sick games to.." Wade yells at his Wife "Stop fighting with Grandmother" Angelica heads to the stairway, as she looks at her watch, and tells Wade "She is testing my kindness." Bridget laughs with anger "What kindness?" Angelica walks up to her and answers "The kind of kindness and respect to someone we know that keeps me from doing a select few things to you to forever damage you. Such as when you were cut up in that jail by Sully? And then the money I gave Wade to.." Wade pulls up a sheet, and gets up and yells at his Wife and Grandmother "Enough!" Angelica smiles to Wade, and tells her Grandson "I'm going to my room and take a sedative. Goodnight my sweet prince." Angelica turns to Bridget, and goes "Hope you enjoy my present to you tomorrow. Consider it a late Christmas." Angelica walks upstairs, as Bridget takes a deep breath, and warns Wade "I've had enough with this arrangement. Stop kissing her ass!" Wade quickly tells his Wife with frustration "Let's go to our separate rooms and call this a night." Both only covering their bodies with sheets, heads to their separate bedrooms. Upstairs, Angelica sends a text, with a smile, as she types "And hope you had a Merry Christmas to you as well dear. I promise not to kill the little whore and if I do, then I'll let you take Wade lol." She quickly gets a response, saying "Haha Santiago. And you know I would too."
At Sully's new Mansion near Hell Hill, Henry sits in the living room, as he drinks from his bottle of liquor, as Sully and Ruthie walks inside, and Sully quips to her boyfriend "Looks like you are enjoying Daddy's gift he gave you for Christmas." Henry yells "Xavier Jackson is a hell of a man! This is some high dollar shit he gave me for Christmas for working on that Storm Shelter." Ruthie takes a deep breath, as she tells her Mother "I'm going upstairs for the evening Mom." Sully hugs her Daughter, as Ruthie heads to her room, as Sully asks Henry "So when are you going to follow through on your promise to come to family gatherings?" Henry, in a drunken tone, slurs "When Leigh stops judging me. Snooty ass bitch. The old lady Ciarra I think, well her too." Sully tells him "They are just overprotective and Aunt Ciarra has always been very private but warm and loving towards me and my family, and she said she thinks you are a good man and happy for us. Something Mom hasn't said." Henry laughs "Well score one for Ms. Sullivan!" Sully sits next to Henry, and looks at the bottle he drinks from, and sighs with a smile "That's the family special moonshine you know. Only few get a bottle. From my Great-Grandpa B.R. Jackson's private stash hidden somewhere at Hell Hill. And I think Daddy likely told you the rest." Henry nods, and kisses Sully, as she tells him "I'm going to talk to my Daughter and call my Mother. You just enjoy yourself." Henry drinks, as Sully goes to Ruthie's bedroom, as she writes in her diary "I'm scared for my family."
Back at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth, Ciarra, Xavier, and Leigh sits in the living room, as Beth asks her Son "So Gracie's staying in Washington for Christmas?" Leigh snides "Who'd want to come back to a home where your Father plays favorites." Xavier grows angry, as Ciarra reminds Leigh "He did help Faye steal my SUV. Although my sweet nephew Xavier bought me a car, I understand his hurt." Beth adds "And helping that bitch that nearly killed Frank and letting her Mother go nearly did it for me." Leigh yells "Brock is a good kid. He has a big heart and made mistakes everyone!" Xavier gets up and storms out, as Beth rolls her eyes, as Leigh asks her Mother In Law "And are you going to take up for him like you always do Beth?" Beth warns her Daughter In Law "You're turning into a bitch. I like that Henry Sully is seeing, and I understand my Son, and apparently better than you." Outside, Xavier is on the phone, as he tells someone on the other line "She's doing what? You got to be shitting me. Seriously?" Xavier is silent, as his eyes begin to turn red, and tells the person on the other line "Meet me in my office tomorrow morning and we will fix that shit!" Xavier hangs up, and goes back inside, as he tells Leigh "I'm ready to call it a night. I'm glad Christmas is over!" Leigh snarls, as Beth glares at Leigh, as Ciarra has went to bed for the night "I'm tired of hearing your Mother cover for your errors in parenting!" Beth defensively yells at Leigh "My Son raised Sully as a single Father when we all thought you'd been killed, and he's been amazing to the twins as well!" Leigh asks her Husband "Does it make you happy Mommy here defends you?" Xavier coldly and quietly murmurs "We're going home. Let's Go." Xavier and Leigh storms out, as Leigh tells Xavier "You will regret what you're doing to our Son." Xavier tells his Wife in a silent tone "Shut the hell up. I've heard all I want from you." Beth stands at the door, as she watches, and shakes her head and sends a text to Brock, who lays on a couch, as the text reads "Get your shit together and make peace with your Father or Gram's kicking your ass." Brock is silent, as rage fills his eyes.
As night's fallen upon Adam's Landing, at Whispering Hills, Jack sits in the living room, as Ava tells her Son "Tomorrow my damn Sister's going to get her just due and I'm nailing her ass to the wall!" Jack sighs "Mom, I hope you're ready to relive the past when you are called up to testify." Ava quips "Oh I've been waiting for this since a couple months before you were born and people didn't send texts instead of calling their Mothers." Jack tells his Mother "Well Samantha and I have decided to keep this from J.J.. He's too emotional and after he found your guest for Aunt Beth.." Ava sighs "Jack, just shut the hell up about it and go home for the night. I'm ready to have my shot and pass out." Jack warns "Another thing Mom, this glass you're constantly holding's really bothering me and I think.." Ava yells "Go home!" Jack walks out, as Ava locks the door, and takes a drink of liquor and snarls "I don't have a damn problem except for my Son's Wife trying to acting all perfect and judging me. Screw her, and if Jack wants to be whipped, hell screw him too." At The Farm, Frank walks inside, as he tells Bree "Tomorrow Cale, Allison, and Ginny's returning from the Beach." Bree sighs with a distant tone "Good for them. Tomorrow I stand before a judge I've never met and attempt to send my Mother away forever." Bree gets emotional, as she yells with anger "What happened to her?" Frank holds his Niece, and they sit on the couch, as he tells her gently "She's always been like this. When she met Roger and got all that work done, then she really let it go to her head. Wasn't for your Mama Bree, Your Grandparents wouldn't of divorced." Bree asks "When Ava was raped?" Frank nods, and goes "Jamie deserves whatever that judge decides and you just do your job and try and forget she's your Mother." Bree tells her Uncle "I'm just an orphan now. Jamie will get what she deserves." Frank hugs Bree, and tells her "Rest up now. You have a big day ahead tomorrow." Frank heads to his bedroom, as he sends a text to Beth, that reads "We need to be there for Bree. She's so down and it's really hurting me." Beth responds "I know the judge Bobby picked. She's going away for a long damn time! I promise that!" At the ALPD, in a cell, Jamie sits, as Roger stands on the other side, and asks "Ready for your close up tomorrow?" Jamie warns her Husband "Just know if I am free I'm going after you ALL! All of you bastards!" Roger quips "Good luck whore. And here's a photo to keep you happy dear." Roger hands a photo to his Wife, as he says to himself "Now you'll know the feeling you sad pathetic whore." Jamie looks at the photo, as rage fills her eyes, and she coldly goes "That's a mistake you'll pay for you selfish bitch."
