At The Sunset Club, Xavier sits inside the Jackson Room, as Country's arrived and tells a waitress "Bring me and X a drink. Something strong." Aretha leaves, as does Roger, the third person also in the room at Xavier's speech, walks towards Xavier, and goes "I know this may be bad timing.." Country snaps "It sure the hell is!" The man tells them "I come without any threats or anything. I support you, and I'm renting space in the towers for my new media company." Xavier looks at the man, and tells him "I wish you the best of success with it as well. Please excuse me." Xavier leaves, as Country follows, as the man makes a phone call. At Hell Hill, Leigh yells at Beth angrily "You get out of this damn house right now! You are nothing more than X's enabler.." Beth slaps Leigh in the face again, and goes "Bitch let me set you straight on some things in them papers. One! This house, property belongs to ME and Xavier. So forget that one without a hell of a fight on your hands. Two.. Jackson Inc.?" And what exactly does a model know about running a billion dollar company?" Leigh snaps quickly "I'll sell Jim's to HaleCorp.." Beth punches Leigh in the mouth, as Leigh screams "I broke a tooth!" Beth snarls to her Daughter In Law "You. You will not be selling shit. You won't be getting your hands on this house. My Daddy's legacy. B.R.'s legacy, my damn family's legacy. If you do this Leigh, I will throw care to the wind and tear your ass apart! You are doing damn good at turning Brock against Xavier..." Leigh tries to interrupt, as Beth puts up her hand, and yells "You did this as well Leigh if blame's being thrown! So therefore as B.R. Jackson's widow, if you decide to leave Xavier, I want you out of here and I'll make sure it happens. If I see any tears from my Son's eyes, it'll be down that trail outside, and off in a body bag!" Beth, with envelope, leaves, as Leigh glares at the door, and screams "Go to hell Beth! I'm not scared of you! Can't play that shit on me old woman."
At City Hospital, Terrance, Olivia, and Keisha are inside Terrance's office, as Eve walks inside, and Terrance greets Eve with a hug, as Olivia asks Eve "How's Sayyid's recovery going?" Eve smiles "He's doing better every day. Spending lots of time with River and our Grandchild. It's beautiful to see him so peaceful for once." Terrance tells her "Uncle Clem's needed that for a long time. I'm glad Mama forgave him." Eve nods in agreement, going "Amen on that Terrance. Speaking of Willie, is she volunteering today? I wanted to bring her up for a visit." Terrance answers "No. She went down to Southpoint Beach for a few days to see Rashad." Eve sighs "Well I'm in town today to do a few things and do some business. It's good seeing everyone, and congratulations Keisha." Keisha asks "How did you know?" Eve quips "Looks like Javon bought quite a rock. True love. Be blessed." Eve walks out, as Olivia tells them "Allison's on her way. She's seeing the OBGYN.." Terrance asks Olivia "Is today when it's official?" Olivia quips "I will say so." Olivia gets a text, and tells them "Frank's here. I'm going down to meet with him. Allison should be here shortly." Olivia leaves, as Keisha asks Terrance "So we need to discuss Javon's wish to have the Evans name. He said once you gave your blessing, we would marry." Terrance tells Keisha "It's fine by me. He's my Son and has turned out to be a great man. You aren't too bad yourself. He's lucky." Meanwhile in the lab, Angelica stands at the desk, as a clerk tells her "I'm sorry but you're not allowed to know anything about Mrs. Hale." Angelica pulls out a stack of $100 bills, as the clerk grows quiet, and tells her "Hold on a minute."
At Jackson Inc., Sully's inside her office, as is Ava, Jack, and Javon, as they look at their phones, as Ava asks her Niece "So was that speech by your Father pertaining to that envelope?" Sully takes a deep breath, as she sighs with disgust "He was so cryptic and then mentioning Wade's name..." Ava reminds her Niece "Wade is a piece of shit. Nothing but a classic con-artist. He's longed for a war with us since he's gotten control of Winston's legacy." Jack laughs "Foodstar tried to over expand last year with Wade's approval, and half the stores didn't even open." Javon looks at everyone and asks them "He mentioned Brock, but what if he sincerely wants to help Brock get his break in business?" Sully turns to Javon, and shakes her head, as she answers "There's nothing sincere about this. If Wade's involved. He's about to pull something. Sully gets up, as she tells them "I'm going to find Daddy. I haven't heard anything from him since breakfast. I think I'll check Hell Hill." Sully leaves, as Ava tells her Son, and Javon "A regular day of madness around here. Expect nothing less." Ava heads to her office, as Jack tells Javon "Looks like we best start preparing for something."
Meanwhile at Chantel's, Henry and Randi sits on the patio, as Randi tells her Son "This is swanky. I didn't think you were into this sorta thing." Henry tells his Mother "Sully's taught me some things." Randi asks her Son "Are you in love with her? Because personally I think she's a real bitch. She owes me and your Sisters." Henry sighs "Mom, she and I have a good relationship and I have a great job working for Xavier." Randi asks her Son "Is he single, or married?" Henry rolls his eyes, and quips "I don't know how to answer that one. But he's young enough to be your Son." Randi gets excited, as she asks Henry "Didn't your Dad have a friend down here? I seem to remember he did." Henry laughs "Frank Jackson. But I'd leave him alone." Randi asks "Why?" Henry warns Randi "He has been around, but then again.." Randi sighs, as she holds up her drink "So have I. And he would be fun if he's still into his partying ways." Henry answers "I don't think he is since he had an experimental heart operation that saved his life. But he's Sully's Uncle." Randi smiles, as she looks at her Son and the waitress brings them lunch.
At HaleCorp, Wade walks inside, as Jared locks up his office, and quips "Looks like you're coming in late today. Brock's in your office and I hope you check your messages because you've been mentioned a lot today." Jared walks out, as Wade walks inside his office, and Brock prepares to leave, as Wade asks Brock "What the hell was Jared talking about? I've been busy today." Brock looks down, and goes "My Dad knows I'm working here. Thank your clerk at the Hotel." Wade laughs, as Brock yells "I don't find this very funny Wade! Do you know what this might do?" Wade quips "Giving you the keys to Jackson Inc., and I then watch Xavier lose. I'm hearing things aren't too good back at Hell Hill." Brock yells "That'd be right too! My Dad hates me, and it hurts! You though, will make this internship worth the loss." Wade asks, as he's taken back with Brock's forcefulness "When did you turn into Xavier Jackson the most evil bastard I know and loathe." Brock warns Wade "I'm his Son, and if my family falls apart, I'll make sure you live a miserable existence." Brock walks out, as Wade sits down, and thinks of an hour earlier with Bridget, as he says to himself "Maybe now things are on the right track. And my plan for you Xavier, well you are doing all the work!" Wade laughs as gets up to pour himself a drink.
Back at Hell Hill, Xavier walks inside, as Country walks in behind him, as Xavier tells his best friend "Looks like Mother's been here." They walk into his study, as a letter sits on Xavier's desk, and Xavier reads it, as he tells Country "Go get the shine. She's done lost her damn mind." Country looks down, and yells "X! Look at this. I know you aren't on painkillers." Xavier looks at the pill, and he and Country are silent, as Xavier puts the pill in his desk, and tells him "And she thinks she's won. But what she doesn't know is about to change her ways on telling me my faults as a man and as a Father." In the living room, At Jackson Inc., Sully sits inside her office, as she hangs up the phone, and says with relief "At least Daddy's calm. And answered his phone." The door opens, as Sully yells "Gracie!" Sully's youngest Sister, and Brock's twin Sister embrace, as Gracie tells Sully "I noticed Daddy isn't here." Sully sighs "He's home. Mom's not home presently. I don't recommend paying a visit. Uncle Country and Shine." Gracie sits, as she goes "I saw Daddy on my phone when the thing went live, and I take it he and our Brother's not worked things out." Sully sighs "And now he's interning with Wade Issac Hale at HaleCorp." Gracie throws her hands up, as she goes "And we know how Daddy feels about his family working for rivals. I hope he doesn't mind me working for Ryan Chase." Sully assures her Sister "Daddy will be fine with it. It's good to have one of our own in the media circle." At The Inn, Leigh has a drink of liquor, as she opens a pill bottle, and takes a pill, and a smile comes across her face of ease.
At City Hospital, Beth walks inside Olivia's office, as Cale, Allison, Ginny, and Frank are inside, as Olivia tells her Sister In Law "Long time no see in these parts." Beth asks her Niece "So I hear you saw the OBGYN? Do we have some news?" Frank smiles proudly, as does Cale, Ginny, and Olivia, as Cale tells Beth "We're having another baby. That snowstorm a few weeks back caused this." Allison quips "It sure was fun staying warm." Cale holds his Wife, as Frank and Beth looks at each other and winks, as Ginny asks her Grandmother "When can I start back down here again to become a nurse?" Olivia tells her Granddaughter "With me going back and forth to see your Great-Grandfather and tend to him, it's hard to teach you, and I just don't trust anybody since Aunt Beth's retired." Beth tells Olivia "Why not let her work with Barbara and Keisha? Barbara's a great teacher and the Research Center's going to do great things. Ginny will be getting in early and can go up from there." Allison looks at her Aunt, as Olivia shrugs "After hearing about working for Bridget Hale, this would be better for you sweetie." Ginny hugs her Grandmother, as she's now about to be full-time at City Hospital.
Back at HaleCorp, Jared returns, as Brock awaits him, and Jared asks Brock, noticing anger "What's wrong? Done figured out my Brother's just using you to get an advantage on Xavier?" Brock turns towards the door to Wade's office, where Wade sits, as he's on the phone with Rachel, as she tells Wade from her office at Lord Incorporated "Keep me informed on the downfall of the evil family. I'll make it worth your while." Wade hangs up with a grin on his face. At The Inn, Leigh sits at the bar, as she orders another drink, as a man arrives, and goes "I'll buy the lady a drink. And one for myself too." Leigh turns, as she asks him "I can afford my own drinks." The man smiles "I needed a drink and you looked like you did too." Leigh sighs "Well you'd be right. And then a fight. It's been a hell of a day." The man quips "The Adam's Landing I remember." At Jackson Inc, Gracie sits inside Sully's office, as Ava, and Jack. are inside as Ava asks her Niece "So where are you staying?" Gracie tells her Aunt "The Holiday Hotel. Hoping to talk some sense into my Brother." Jack quips "If Uncle Xavier couldn't do it, I doubt you'd be able to do anything." Sully tells her Sister "I've got problems of my own at home." Ava asks "That old whore from Loma Vista?" Sully nods, as Ava tells everyone "I got some power at HaleCorp and I plan to visit Wade soon." Ava tells Gracie "How about you stay with me at Whispering Hills, so you can be close to your Daddy, and it'll keep Auntie Ava company. A lonely house without Winston." Gracie accepts Ava's offer, as Sully gets a message and rushes out in a fury, leaving Gracie, Ava, and Jack silent for a moment, as Ava goes "That was fast." At Hell Hill, Xavier and Country open another bottle of moonshine, as they have gotten drunk, and Xavier yells at Country "Leigh ain't getting a damn thing from me or from here! I've got the bitch's number now and she's gonna learn if she comes back home." Country slurs "Didn't you say she didn't pack her shit up?" Xavier nods, as he boldly tells him "And she's gonna learn about that side of me I only show my rivals once she walks through that damn door." At The Inn, The man and Leigh are drinking together, as they exchange numbers.

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 11. Opening The Gates
It's a cold morning in Adam's Landing, and at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Xavier sits at the kitchen table, along with Sully, and Ruthie, as Beth and Ciarra cooks and Sully asks her Father "Why did you call this breakfast without Mom?" Beth turns towards the table where her family sits, and turns to her Aunt, as Ciarra finishes making the orange juice, and Xavier looks at his Daughter, and sighs "When Mother and Aunt Ciarra finish cooking, we'll discuss this as a family." Ruthie asks her Grandfather "Are you and Grandma having problems Papaw? She turned me away last night. I wanted to stay with you so we could go enjoy that cold morning walk in your field." Xavier smiles, and goes "Queenie, Papaw didn't want to stay home last night so you and I got lucky." Ruthie turns to her Mother, as Sully warns her Daughter silently to stay quiet about the night before, as Beth walks over along with Ciarra and goes "Breakfast is served and no scraps for the dog." Precious howls, as Beth looks at her Mother's Doberman, and sighs "Talk to Aunt Ciarra." Precious walks into his bedroom and growls, as Ruthie laughs and Ciarra tells her Great-Niece "Tennessee really ruined that dog." Beth smiles "Mama loved him. Her baby and joy to be honest." Xavier smiles, as he pulls out an envelope, and puts it on the table. Beth looks at her Son, as Ciarra turns to her Great-Nephew, Sully turns to her Father and Ruthie turns to her Grandfather, as Beth asks her Son "What the hell is that baby? I don't like what I see already and that vibe I'm getting from you." Sully takes a deep breath, as Ruthie tries to look, and Sully gets up, as does Beth, as they walk into the kitchen, as Xavier asks his Great-Aunt "How are you doing? I'm sorry we haven't had lunch lately or went and inspected some Emery stores together." Ciarra puts her hand on Xavier's hand, and tells him "You don't have to do anything for me. You already have made me very proud, and Tennessee, J.D., and Uncle Jacob are smiling on you and your family, even the one we won't mention." Xavier cries, as Ruthie hugs him. In the living room, Beth and Sully read the statements and papers, as Sully looks at her Grandmother, as Beth's eyes turn red with rage. Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Leigh cooks breakfast, as Brock sits in the kitchen, and Leigh tells her Son "Today expect Dad to see you. And I want to know every final detail!" Brock nods, as he hugs his Mother.
At The Holiday Hotel, Wade wakes up, as he looks over and the woman from the night before is gone. A letter sits on the bedpost that reads "Here's my number. Only call." Wade smiles, as he says to himself, as he walks into the shower "That was fun. Maybe Grandmother is right. Well she's my Grandmother so I know she is. She at least supports me. I hope she will with little Xavier joining our little gang at work." At Jared's Loft, Jared walks downstairs, as Bridget sits in the living room, and goes "I thought I'd tidy up before heading down to the hell your Ex calls Class." Jared holds Bridget tightly (The night before, the lights dim inside the bedroom, as Jared and Bridget has sex), as they stare intently into each others eyes, before Jared backs away, and tells her "Let's get back to reality now before my Brother or Grandmother gets suspicious." Bridget agrees, as Jared heads to HaleCorp, and Bridget heads to Class. Meanwhile at The Lord Estate, Roger and Rachel lay naked each to each other, as they have breakfast, and Rachel smiles "That was very romantic. No man's ever treated me like you do. Well except Wade." Roger quips "I know you. I know you and Wade have feelings and at least you are honest and we have an open relationship. You're proving yourself. Where were you when I met Jamie?" They laugh, as Rachel quips "I was not here! But it's nice being back and feeling like things are different." Roger looks at Rachel, as the assures her "It always will be as long as you're with me. And you are always honest. I respect that very much." Rachel and Roger feed each other some candy, as they prepare for the day.
Meanwhile at the ALPD, Bree and Paul are inside Bree's office, as both are quiet, thinking of what happened the night before as Bobby walks in, and tells Bree "I did some homework last night on people to call to the stand, and we need to brace Ava for one of them. May recommend she not even be there." Bree asks Bobby, as Paul looks at his Father, as Bobby tells them "He was the rapist Jamie and Brock Jr hired to make it appear she was cheating on Russell a long time ago. Jack's biological Father. He's been released from Unity Prison it appears and nowhere to be found." Bree rolls her eyes, as she looks at Paul, as he tells them "I'll go check for any warrants." Paul walks out, as Bobby tells Bree "And Judge Chase is going to speak to Ciarra about taking the stand as well." Bree warns "She isn't able to do it. She has become nearly a recluse since Mom's arrest. Aunt Beth says she's distant and only walks that damn dog!" Bobby tells Bree "Well I have to go meet up with some important people today. Actually Jo's Son will be there. He runs a media company that's now located to Adam's Landing and leasing a floor too below Jackson Inc., in the Jackson Towers!" Bree quips "Good luck saving our tarnished image Mayor Whitten." Bobby looks at Bree, and tells her "Lots of people are here for you through this ordeal, and love you. So never forget." Bree nods, as Bobby walks out, and Bree makes a phone call, telling the person on the other line "I need the location of Aaron Pittman."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc., Jack arrives to work, and walks into his Mother's office, as he goes "Look who decided to make an appearance at the office?" Ava glares at her Son, and snarls "I'm getting damn sick of these constant reminders I drink. Well I know a lot of people that drink. Family tradition Son! Now let's have a normal day please and thank you?" Jack answers "We can. I know things are tough with you with the trial about to start, and getting on that stand. Samantha just, well I think she grew up normal, the kind we never knew a thing about. But know you're always my Mom and I love you regardless always." Ava hugs her Son, as she asks him "Tell me about these lofts?" Jack fills his Mother in on the details. In Javon's office, Keisha sits inside, and asks her fiancé "So since it's 2018 now, let's get married and make our love official." Javon responds "I'm just finalizing all the hassle changing my last name to Evans." Keisha tells Javon "It's nice you and Terrance has grown close. He always watches my back at the Hospital. It's been calm lately since Dr. Barbara's been helping out, and she's training me to run the Research Center." Javon pulls a bottle of wine from under his desk, and asks "Let's have a toast. To family, success, and as your wish is granted baby, we're getting married. We'll use the company jet and elope tonight! Keisha walks over, as Javon pours each a glass, and she kisses them, as they toast.
At The Holiday Hotel, Brock sits in his room, as there's a knock, and Brock answers, as Xavier stands on the other side, and Brock rolls his eyes and warns his Father "One wrong word Dad and I'll call Aretha or Rachel again and sell them something else. Hard to make it without my trust fund." Xavier walks in, and asks his Son "So how are you keeping this up? I asked Country to look out for you?" Brock asks "The two of you are finally close again?" Xavier nods, as he looks at his Son, and tells him "It's time we make peace. You needed this to learn life ain't easy. It sure as hell isn't for me. I'm certain you'd disagree but it's hell." Brock tells his Father "I just want to be home again." Xavier looks at his Son, and tells him "There's still a room for you. Wanna check out and we'll go back there and surprise your Mom?" There's a knock at the door, as Brock answers and a clerk tells Brock "Mr. Hale said to enjoy the day off." Xavier looks at his Son, and asks "Which Mr. Hale was he referring..." Brock rolls his eyes, as Xavier snarls "You unloyal little bastard. Wade Issac's paying for this? And then you and your Mom call Aretha to help you make money like Jamie did...." Brock is silent, as he tells him "I am my own man." Xavier yells "If you are boy, then you sure as hell are as far from a man than I've ever seen. And just know one damn thing, I'm watching your every, damn, MOVE!" Xavier storms out, as Brock sits down, and is silent, with sadness in his eyes.
At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth is silent, as Ciarra asks her Niece, as Sully and Ruthie has too left after breakfast "You've not said a word since you and Sully read what Xavier brought over. What did it say Beth?" Beth turns to her Aunt, as she calmly, yet with a tone of extreme disappointment "I can't believe what I read. I had a feeling, but this far? This is going to be more hell on our family and I'm not allowing it." Beth heads into her bedroom, as Ciarra looks around and sighs "My Daughter kills her Daughter, and whatever's going on with Xavier has Beth acting worried." Ciarra sits, as the doorbell rings, and Ciarra gets up to answer as Judge Jo Chase stands on the other end, and asks "Ms. Sullivan I would like to talk to you if you would. Please." Ciarra welcomes Jo inside, as Beth walks out of her bedroom and warns Jo "Unless Bobby didn't give the memo my Aunt's not taking the stand." Ciarra's eyes widen, and turns to Beth, and quickly snaps "Yes I am!" Jo asks Ciarra "How was your relationship with Jamie and Summer? I know you grown close to Bree. But how was it with them? You don't have to take the stand. I have a Mama I wouldn't dare put through that sort of ordeal. So just talk to me so I'll know who I'm dealing with." Ciarra tells Jo, as Beth holds Ciarra's hand, nodding as she gently tells her "She's good people Aunt Ciarra." Ciarra distantly, and with sadness tells Jo "I was somewhat close to Summer. But she was just like Jamie. Jamie was just like my Daughter with my beloved Jacob, Lily Corbin. As for Bree, she's tough like a Martin, but just like her true Grandma Ruth Jackson." Jo asks "Why did you give up Jamie to B.R. instead of keeping her? She might of turned out different?" Ciarra answers "My life. My career. And my marriage and relationship with my family would have been finished had that'd happened. I knew B.R. Jackson was a man of his word, and he took care of her. Not sure how he told Ruth, but she was cared for and sadly who she is." Ciarra heads to her bedroom, as Jo asks Beth "Is she finished? She seemed a little edgy." Beth sighs "She's not handling this great at all. And do you have your answers? I can answer some for her as well as she and I are very close. She keeps me going." Jo nods, and tells Beth "I've heard all I needed, now back to reading those papers. Tomorrow I'm meeting with everyone that's going to testify and I'm selecting the jury. Ciarra Sullivan will be at peace Beth. Now don't forget our night out soon." Beth nods, as Jo leaves, and Beth makes a phone call, and hangs up, as she too leaves, headed to Hell Hill.
At Class, Sully and Ruthie walks into Sully's former office, as Ruthie asks her Mother "When are you going to tell me what you and Gram are so closed-lipped about?" Sully tells her Daughter "I don't know. Now go to work and I'm going to see if Bridget's here." Ruthie hugs her Mom, as she walks out, as Sully heads to Bridget's office, and walks inside, as Bridget enters a few seconds later, as she asks her boss "Decided to get into my private life and snoop around or did Ruthie tell you about last night?" Sully glares at Bridget, as she asks Bridget calmly, but in a stern tone "What about you and Jared? Both of us have moved on. But where is Ruthie included in this little spat you're about to try? Bridget tells Sully "I run this store for you, and Ruthie isn't doing her job and needs to be fired." Sully laughs "Hang on just a minute. If anyone leaves here bitch, it's you! Just try me once and you'll see.' Bridget sits at her desk, as she looks up, and in a snobby tone, goes "If you ever tried, you'd pay for it trust me." Sully warns Bridget "Just remember one thing, if you keep rubbing your affair with Jared in Ruthie's face down here, I'll fire you, and I'll kick your ass if you step out of line with her. This is her legacy! Do you understand me?" Bridget nods, as Sully leaves, and Bridget sits back, and says to herself "You have no idea."
At HaleCorp, Jared arrives, as Angelica sits inside, and asks her Grandson "Did you and the whore you have something similar in relation to have fun last night?" Jared warns his Grandmother "What are you trying to say because.." Angelica pulls out her phone, and holds it as Jared's eyes widen, and jaw drops as she laughs "Bridget loves sexing Brothers. Tell me Jared, have you had sex with Gracie yet?" Jared slowly asks, knowing his Grandmother knows "How did you know about us?" Angelica walks around her Grandson, as she goes "I had Country track you. He's good at that kind of thing and well you get a raise here, and leave the rest to me and keep on having dumpster sex with Bridget." Angelica walks out, as Jared walks into his office with disbelief. In the lobby, Angelica asks the doorman "Has Mr. Hale arrived? Wade Hale?" The doorman shakes his head, as Angelica leaves. At Class, Bridget is in her office, as Wade walks inside, and asks his Wife "And how are we doing since last night?" Bridget asks Wade "How did you know I was back so soon?" Wade quips "Because I called. And got a gift." Bridget opens the box, and gushes "Flowers!" Bridget looks into Wade's eyes, as they hold each other tight, as they begin to make love. On Bridget's desk, her phone buzzes, as she has three messages awaiting.
Back at Jackson Inc., Sully arrives in her office, as she's on the phone with Henry "I'm now at work and be warned I'm not damn happy so tell your Mother to get out of my house by the time I get home or I'll help her and that's a promise!" Sully hangs up, as Ava and Jack walks inside as Ava asks her Niece "So what's going on about that envelope Xavier had waiting for him?" Sully looks at her Aunt and Cousin, and tells them "I think I'll leave the explaining to Daddy, or Grandma. Whichever one acts first. All I'll say, is I can't stand seeing my Brother tear my Mom and Dad apart! Daddy's dream is fading, and it's hurting him." Sully gets emotional, as Ava and Jack comfort her. At Class, Ruthie stands at the counter, as Ginny walks over, and asks her Cousin "What's bothering you?" Ruthie takes a deep breath, and cries "I 'm feeling something dark Ginny. This morning we had breakfast and my Mom and Gram's both acting odd. Same for Papaw." Ginny quips "Uncle Xavier's always quiet anyway, well unless you've broken his "laws", as my Dad says." Someone walks up, as they return to work. At The Sunset Club, Xavier sits inside The Jackson Room, as Roger, and Aretha walks inside, as they look at Xavier, as he's angry and asks Roger "Rachel is nowhere to be found correct?" Roger nods, and goes "Just this phone." Aretha asks Xavier "What's up with you Xavier because you don't do this.." Xavier tells them "I have something I want know publicly, and I want social media to be all over this shit when I'm done. Always a first time for everything." A man walks into the room, as he takes a deep breath, and goes "My apologies." As Roger, Aretha, and the man take their places, Xavier begins to speak, as he goes "I am not a perfect man, but it's really bad when in today's society, your only Son can hurt you and stab you in the back. Turn two people in love apart. And the irony, is Wade Issac Hale wants to join in.." At HaleCorp, Wade arrives, as Brock sits in his office, on the phone with his Mother, telling her about his visit earlier." At Hell Hill, Leigh sits in the living room, as she sighs with sadness to her Son "This will be the hardest thing I've ever done, but I'm going to do this and we'll be set and cared for. He'll learn from this experience he's about to get. I gotta go. I'm packing his things." Leigh hangs up with Brock, as the front door opens, and Beth holds the envelope, and glares at Leigh silently, as Leigh warns her Mother In Law "You can't help but to go fight for your Son when he cries can you? Yeah that's what you think it is! And yes it will happen..." Beth walks up to Leigh and slaps her forcefully, and snarls angrily, bending down "You're about to regret ever telling Xavier you were alive."
At The Holiday Hotel, Wade wakes up, as he looks over and the woman from the night before is gone. A letter sits on the bedpost that reads "Here's my number. Only call." Wade smiles, as he says to himself, as he walks into the shower "That was fun. Maybe Grandmother is right. Well she's my Grandmother so I know she is. She at least supports me. I hope she will with little Xavier joining our little gang at work." At Jared's Loft, Jared walks downstairs, as Bridget sits in the living room, and goes "I thought I'd tidy up before heading down to the hell your Ex calls Class." Jared holds Bridget tightly (The night before, the lights dim inside the bedroom, as Jared and Bridget has sex), as they stare intently into each others eyes, before Jared backs away, and tells her "Let's get back to reality now before my Brother or Grandmother gets suspicious." Bridget agrees, as Jared heads to HaleCorp, and Bridget heads to Class. Meanwhile at The Lord Estate, Roger and Rachel lay naked each to each other, as they have breakfast, and Rachel smiles "That was very romantic. No man's ever treated me like you do. Well except Wade." Roger quips "I know you. I know you and Wade have feelings and at least you are honest and we have an open relationship. You're proving yourself. Where were you when I met Jamie?" They laugh, as Rachel quips "I was not here! But it's nice being back and feeling like things are different." Roger looks at Rachel, as the assures her "It always will be as long as you're with me. And you are always honest. I respect that very much." Rachel and Roger feed each other some candy, as they prepare for the day.
Meanwhile at the ALPD, Bree and Paul are inside Bree's office, as both are quiet, thinking of what happened the night before as Bobby walks in, and tells Bree "I did some homework last night on people to call to the stand, and we need to brace Ava for one of them. May recommend she not even be there." Bree asks Bobby, as Paul looks at his Father, as Bobby tells them "He was the rapist Jamie and Brock Jr hired to make it appear she was cheating on Russell a long time ago. Jack's biological Father.

Paul walks out, as Bobby tells Bree "And Judge Chase is going to speak to Ciarra about taking the stand as well." Bree warns "She isn't able to do it. She has become nearly a recluse since Mom's arrest. Aunt Beth says she's distant and only walks that damn dog!" Bobby tells Bree "Well I have to go meet up with some important people today. Actually Jo's Son will be there. He runs a media company that's now located to Adam's Landing and leasing a floor too below Jackson Inc., in the Jackson Towers!" Bree quips "Good luck saving our tarnished image Mayor Whitten." Bobby looks at Bree, and tells her "Lots of people are here for you through this ordeal, and love you. So never forget." Bree nods, as Bobby walks out, and Bree makes a phone call, telling the person on the other line "I need the location of Aaron Pittman."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc., Jack arrives to work, and walks into his Mother's office, as he goes "Look who decided to make an appearance at the office?" Ava glares at her Son, and snarls "I'm getting damn sick of these constant reminders I drink. Well I know a lot of people that drink. Family tradition Son! Now let's have a normal day please and thank you?" Jack answers "We can. I know things are tough with you with the trial about to start, and getting on that stand. Samantha just, well I think she grew up normal, the kind we never knew a thing about. But know you're always my Mom and I love you regardless always." Ava hugs her Son, as she asks him "Tell me about these lofts?" Jack fills his Mother in on the details. In Javon's office, Keisha sits inside, and asks her fiancé "So since it's 2018 now, let's get married and make our love official." Javon responds "I'm just finalizing all the hassle changing my last name to Evans." Keisha tells Javon "It's nice you and Terrance has grown close. He always watches my back at the Hospital. It's been calm lately since Dr. Barbara's been helping out, and she's training me to run the Research Center." Javon pulls a bottle of wine from under his desk, and asks "Let's have a toast. To family, success, and as your wish is granted baby, we're getting married. We'll use the company jet and elope tonight! Keisha walks over, as Javon pours each a glass, and she kisses them, as they toast.
At The Holiday Hotel, Brock sits in his room, as there's a knock, and Brock answers, as Xavier stands on the other side, and Brock rolls his eyes and warns his Father "One wrong word Dad and I'll call Aretha or Rachel again and sell them something else. Hard to make it without my trust fund." Xavier walks in, and asks his Son "So how are you keeping this up? I asked Country to look out for you?" Brock asks "The two of you are finally close again?" Xavier nods, as he looks at his Son, and tells him "It's time we make peace. You needed this to learn life ain't easy. It sure as hell isn't for me. I'm certain you'd disagree but it's hell." Brock tells his Father "I just want to be home again." Xavier looks at his Son, and tells him "There's still a room for you. Wanna check out and we'll go back there and surprise your Mom?" There's a knock at the door, as Brock answers and a clerk tells Brock "Mr. Hale said to enjoy the day off." Xavier looks at his Son, and asks "Which Mr. Hale was he referring..." Brock rolls his eyes, as Xavier snarls "You unloyal little bastard. Wade Issac's paying for this? And then you and your Mom call Aretha to help you make money like Jamie did...." Brock is silent, as he tells him "I am my own man." Xavier yells "If you are boy, then you sure as hell are as far from a man than I've ever seen. And just know one damn thing, I'm watching your every, damn, MOVE!" Xavier storms out, as Brock sits down, and is silent, with sadness in his eyes.
At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth is silent, as Ciarra asks her Niece, as Sully and Ruthie has too left after breakfast "You've not said a word since you and Sully read what Xavier brought over. What did it say Beth?" Beth turns to her Aunt, as she calmly, yet with a tone of extreme disappointment "I can't believe what I read. I had a feeling, but this far? This is going to be more hell on our family and I'm not allowing it." Beth heads into her bedroom, as Ciarra looks around and sighs "My Daughter kills her Daughter, and whatever's going on with Xavier has Beth acting worried." Ciarra sits, as the doorbell rings, and Ciarra gets up to answer as Judge Jo Chase stands on the other end, and asks "Ms. Sullivan I would like to talk to you if you would. Please." Ciarra welcomes Jo inside, as Beth walks out of her bedroom and warns Jo "Unless Bobby didn't give the memo my Aunt's not taking the stand." Ciarra's eyes widen, and turns to Beth, and quickly snaps "Yes I am!" Jo asks Ciarra "How was your relationship with Jamie and Summer? I know you grown close to Bree. But how was it with them? You don't have to take the stand. I have a Mama I wouldn't dare put through that sort of ordeal. So just talk to me so I'll know who I'm dealing with." Ciarra tells Jo, as Beth holds Ciarra's hand, nodding as she gently tells her "She's good people Aunt Ciarra." Ciarra distantly, and with sadness tells Jo "I was somewhat close to Summer. But she was just like Jamie. Jamie was just like my Daughter with my beloved Jacob, Lily Corbin. As for Bree, she's tough like a Martin, but just like her true Grandma Ruth Jackson." Jo asks "Why did you give up Jamie to B.R. instead of keeping her? She might of turned out different?" Ciarra answers "My life. My career. And my marriage and relationship with my family would have been finished had that'd happened. I knew B.R. Jackson was a man of his word, and he took care of her. Not sure how he told Ruth, but she was cared for and sadly who she is." Ciarra heads to her bedroom, as Jo asks Beth "Is she finished? She seemed a little edgy." Beth sighs "She's not handling this great at all. And do you have your answers? I can answer some for her as well as she and I are very close. She keeps me going." Jo nods, and tells Beth "I've heard all I needed, now back to reading those papers. Tomorrow I'm meeting with everyone that's going to testify and I'm selecting the jury. Ciarra Sullivan will be at peace Beth. Now don't forget our night out soon." Beth nods, as Jo leaves, and Beth makes a phone call, and hangs up, as she too leaves, headed to Hell Hill.
At Class, Sully and Ruthie walks into Sully's former office, as Ruthie asks her Mother "When are you going to tell me what you and Gram are so closed-lipped about?" Sully tells her Daughter "I don't know. Now go to work and I'm going to see if Bridget's here." Ruthie hugs her Mom, as she walks out, as Sully heads to Bridget's office, and walks inside, as Bridget enters a few seconds later, as she asks her boss "Decided to get into my private life and snoop around or did Ruthie tell you about last night?" Sully glares at Bridget, as she asks Bridget calmly, but in a stern tone "What about you and Jared? Both of us have moved on. But where is Ruthie included in this little spat you're about to try? Bridget tells Sully "I run this store for you, and Ruthie isn't doing her job and needs to be fired." Sully laughs "Hang on just a minute. If anyone leaves here bitch, it's you! Just try me once and you'll see.' Bridget sits at her desk, as she looks up, and in a snobby tone, goes "If you ever tried, you'd pay for it trust me." Sully warns Bridget "Just remember one thing, if you keep rubbing your affair with Jared in Ruthie's face down here, I'll fire you, and I'll kick your ass if you step out of line with her. This is her legacy! Do you understand me?" Bridget nods, as Sully leaves, and Bridget sits back, and says to herself "You have no idea."
At HaleCorp, Jared arrives, as Angelica sits inside, and asks her Grandson "Did you and the whore you have something similar in relation to have fun last night?" Jared warns his Grandmother "What are you trying to say because.." Angelica pulls out her phone, and holds it as Jared's eyes widen, and jaw drops as she laughs "Bridget loves sexing Brothers. Tell me Jared, have you had sex with Gracie yet?" Jared slowly asks, knowing his Grandmother knows "How did you know about us?" Angelica walks around her Grandson, as she goes "I had Country track you. He's good at that kind of thing and well you get a raise here, and leave the rest to me and keep on having dumpster sex with Bridget." Angelica walks out, as Jared walks into his office with disbelief. In the lobby, Angelica asks the doorman "Has Mr. Hale arrived? Wade Hale?" The doorman shakes his head, as Angelica leaves. At Class, Bridget is in her office, as Wade walks inside, and asks his Wife "And how are we doing since last night?" Bridget asks Wade "How did you know I was back so soon?" Wade quips "Because I called. And got a gift." Bridget opens the box, and gushes "Flowers!" Bridget looks into Wade's eyes, as they hold each other tight, as they begin to make love. On Bridget's desk, her phone buzzes, as she has three messages awaiting.
Back at Jackson Inc., Sully arrives in her office, as she's on the phone with Henry "I'm now at work and be warned I'm not damn happy so tell your Mother to get out of my house by the time I get home or I'll help her and that's a promise!" Sully hangs up, as Ava and Jack walks inside as Ava asks her Niece "So what's going on about that envelope Xavier had waiting for him?" Sully looks at her Aunt and Cousin, and tells them "I think I'll leave the explaining to Daddy, or Grandma. Whichever one acts first. All I'll say, is I can't stand seeing my Brother tear my Mom and Dad apart! Daddy's dream is fading, and it's hurting him." Sully gets emotional, as Ava and Jack comfort her. At Class, Ruthie stands at the counter, as Ginny walks over, and asks her Cousin "What's bothering you?" Ruthie takes a deep breath, and cries "I 'm feeling something dark Ginny. This morning we had breakfast and my Mom and Gram's both acting odd. Same for Papaw." Ginny quips "Uncle Xavier's always quiet anyway, well unless you've broken his "laws", as my Dad says." Someone walks up, as they return to work. At The Sunset Club, Xavier sits inside The Jackson Room, as Roger, and Aretha walks inside, as they look at Xavier, as he's angry and asks Roger "Rachel is nowhere to be found correct?" Roger nods, and goes "Just this phone." Aretha asks Xavier "What's up with you Xavier because you don't do this.." Xavier tells them "I have something I want know publicly, and I want social media to be all over this shit when I'm done. Always a first time for everything." A man walks into the room, as he takes a deep breath, and goes "My apologies." As Roger, Aretha, and the man take their places, Xavier begins to speak, as he goes "I am not a perfect man, but it's really bad when in today's society, your only Son can hurt you and stab you in the back. Turn two people in love apart. And the irony, is Wade Issac Hale wants to join in.." At HaleCorp, Wade arrives, as Brock sits in his office, on the phone with his Mother, telling her about his visit earlier." At Hell Hill, Leigh sits in the living room, as she sighs with sadness to her Son "This will be the hardest thing I've ever done, but I'm going to do this and we'll be set and cared for. He'll learn from this experience he's about to get. I gotta go. I'm packing his things." Leigh hangs up with Brock, as the front door opens, and Beth holds the envelope, and glares at Leigh silently, as Leigh warns her Mother In Law "You can't help but to go fight for your Son when he cries can you? Yeah that's what you think it is! And yes it will happen..." Beth walks up to Leigh and slaps her forcefully, and snarls angrily, bending down "You're about to regret ever telling Xavier you were alive."

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 10. The Unexpected
As evening has arrived, at Jackson Inc, Xavier returns to his office, as he sees an evenlope addressed to him sitting on his desk. Xavier's attention is turned, as Bobby walks inside, and quips "And did we win our bet?" Xavier nods, and asks "Wonder who left this for me while I was at the Courthouse?" Bobby tells him "Likely the secretary brought it in here since you like to stay on top of everything, and it looks legit." Xavier opens it, as Bobby stands by his side, and Xavier pulls out a large, detailed statement and Bobby tells him "Hand those to me." Xavier takes a deep breath, as he tries to retain his calm, and Bobby asks Xavier "Are you ok?" Xavier is silent, as he leaves in a fury, and Jack walks inside, as he asks Bobby "What just happened? I heard Jamie's trial starts in a few days." Bobby looks at Jack, and tells him, as he grabs his jacket "That's not pertaining to Jamie. This could be damning all around. He needs to inform you when it's time." Bobby leaves, as Jack follows as the sky has darkened outside. At the elevator, both are silent, as Bobby gets a text from Jo, telling him "Got her back for sleeping with Chase! Felt good. This will be a home run for all of us except her." Bobby smiles, as Jack heads to Whispering Hills, and Bobby returns to his office.
At The Sunset Club, Ava, Bree, and Aretha sits at a table as Ava orders drinks, and yells "It's on me. A toast to the best D.A. in Adam's Landing!" Bree tells her Aunt "I'm not feeling very celebratory right now." Aretha asks Ava "Where's Beth?" Ava tells her "She went back to update Ciarra. And now let's just enjoy that for once justice is gonna get served to someone that really deserves the harshest punishment imaginable. I suggest a stake..." Bree throws up her hands, and smiles at her Aunt, and goes "The state only does injections Aunt Ava, and let's just have dinner and I can go home to rest up for this." Rachel walks over, as Ava warns Rachel "You must have a death wish. Why are you bothering us with your presence?" Rachel looks at Aretha, and asks her in a cocky tone "Are you getting close to the D.A. for the big story? I want a turn." Ava gets up, and tells Rachel in a bold tone "We won't tell you a damn thing! I'm sure Jamie's done informed you all you need to know and will know as far as I am concerned." Rachel tells Ava "We both want Jamie gone. She owes me too. And I played her at her own game too and now sleep with her Husband and run The Gossiper. We're on the same side for once and no worries about me trying to sleep with your Son." Ava looks down, and goes "Well excuse us for now, and please if you are sincere, don't write anything about anyone in my family or I'll destroy you for good." Rachel leaves, as the waiter arrives with dinner and drinks, as Ava, Bree, and Aretha has dinner, while Rachel stands outside, as she calls Roger and tells him "I'm on my way home baby. Got some good news for you." Roger, sitting in the den at The Lord Estate, answers "Overjoyed. See you soon." Roger hangs up, as he reads his tablet, and says to himself "I always wanted a Son. Hmm.."
At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth walks inside, as Ciarra asks her Niece "It's been awhile since you called." Beth tells her Aunt "I went over to The Farm and spent some time with Frank, Cale, and Allison for a little while. And I see you are dressed." Ciarra warns Beth "Precious isn't to have anymore deli fried chicken from Jim's. Too many walks!" Beth sighs "Well hate to tell that to him." The doorbell rings, as Ciarra tells Beth "If it's Leigh, may not want to answer it." Beth rolls her eyes, as she opens to find Sully, as Beth asks her Granddaughter "You seem pissed? What's going on?" Sully sits down, as Beth and Ciarra sits next to her, as Sully goes "Someone's in town I didn't want to see." Beth asks "Well sweetie, who's in town?" Sully tells her Grandmother and Great-Aunt "Randi Camden. Henry's Mother. Walked in to see she was there, and I imagine staying. Henry would be insulted for her to stay in a motel. Although I'd feel better. She's a bitch." Beth takes a deep breath, and sighs "That name sounds familiar to me. Just keep me informed in case I need to explain things to her gently, as always." Ciarra and Sully both laugh, along with Beth, as she tells them something, as Sully goes "She seems shady as hell." At Sully's Mansion, in the living room, Henry sits in the living room as Miranda "Randi" Camden, Henry's Mother, walks out of kitchen, and brings her Son another glass of liquor, as she cries "After your Dad and I got together, your siblings disowned me. I felt it was best to just move here and make up for the years lost." Henry tells his Mother "I love you Mama. Go pick a room and make yourself comfortable."
Meanwhile at Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Bridget walks downstairs, as she tells her Husband "I've got to go check on some things tomorrow in the Unity location of Class." Wade blows his Wife a kiss, as she walks out, and once outside sends a text to Jared, who sits in the living room to his loft in Downtown. Back inside Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Angelica walks into the living room, as she asks her Grandson "The whore's off with another man I take it." Wade answers "Likely. But she said it pertained to work." Angelica is silent, as she asks Wade "So I was told Xavier Jackson Jr was at HaleCorp today." Wade nods, and proudly exclaims "He's in our intern program.." Angelica goes "Hold on a moment Grandson. I do not want to wage battle against Xavier or his family. His Son is trouble if his own Father's cut him off. Think about this Wade." Wade tells his Grandmother "I have always wanted to get revenge on Xavier for those visits to The Storm Shelter, and the pain he's put me and Rachel through." Angelica tells Wade "I seen Rachel today at the Courthouse. I think she's just using Roger to get ownership of The Gossiper." Wade quips "That's the Rachel I know and love. She is happy and seems to have found peace." Angelica tells her Grandson, giving him a kiss "And you should find peace and divorce Bridget. You are miserable my poor little Wade." Wade takes a deep breath, as Angelica heads upstairs to call it a night, as he makes a phone call to Rachel, which goes to voicemail. He then calls Bridget, as she answers as she drives to Jared's Loft and snaps "Wade I am not cheating on you! I'm just going on a business trip in a dumpy town below another dump we call home currently." Wade tells his Wife "I don't really give a shit anymore Bridget. You want to act like this, then two can play that game. And stop giving Grandmother a hard time! That's an order you best follow at my command when you return!" Wade hangs up, as he leaves, and heads to The Holiday Hotel.
At Hell Hill, Leigh walks downstairs, as she carries a suitcase, as there's a knock at the door, and Leigh answers to find Ruthie on the other end, as Leigh asks her Granddaughter "It's getting late, and Sully will be worried." Ruthie asks her Grandmother "Can I stay here?" Leigh asks "Are you sure you'd want to? X and I aren't getting along well. Is it because of the trash Sully's seeing?" Ruthie nods, and sighs "I just don't like him Grandma. Papaw seems to think he's a great person. Leigh snarks "Anyone willing to put a bullet in someone is good in your Papaw's book. He's really turned into a real cold bastard." Ruthie goes "He's nice to me and Cain. He's also treats Mom like royalty and Aunt Gracie." Leigh tells her Granddaughter "Go tough it out tonight at home and call me if Henry causes any problems. I just don't think it's wise you are here tonight." Ruthie gets emotional, and tells her Grandmother "Papaw said I can always stay here." Leigh hugs Ruthie, and tells her with sadness "You don't want to be here tonight. Maybe next time." Ruthie leaves, as she looks towards the door, as she starts to cry. Inside, Leigh pours a drink, as she says to herself "Any minute now before that door swings open and hell breaks loose. But you did it to yourself Xavier."
Meanwhile, Bree returns to her Mansion, as Paul sits inside, and Bree asks Paul "So used the other key to await my arrival?" Paul tells Bree "Dad told me to come by and check in and you weren't here." Bree sits down, as she looks at Paul, with sadness, as she tells him with tears "I'm about to send my Mom to jail to die for killing my Sister, well making it happen!" Paul reminds Bree "Dad would be glad to put someone in your place if you don't want to since it is a conflict of interest." Bree yells angrily "No Paul! This is my job to do. Not Xavier's way. Not Aunt Ava's way. I plan to give my family the peace they've longed for, especially Aunt Ava. Paul quips "Locking your Mom in a cell and setting it on fire and inviting Ava to watch?" Bree rolls her eyes, as Paul tells Bree "I'm joking. Look, I know this is tearing you apart. Since the boys are back in School.." Bree looks at Paul, and cries "Those boys are the last pieces of my Sister I've got left. You've done a great job with them. Paul tells her "We know Jared's raising Russ, but at least he's working with me. I'm keeping her family together!" Bree starts to cry, as she cries "Summer wasn't perfect. Grandma never let her forget her birth destroyed the family literally. It's been so much and she loved Mom. And once Mom got with Angelica, wrote those damn books.. And then married Roger Lord and turned into a monster. Money turned her into someone I hate." Paul asks Bree "Do you think Jamie killed Summer because she was a threat?" Bree heads to the stairway, as she prepares to call it a night, and asks Paul "Going back to Bobby's?" Paul answers "I guess so." Bree asks Paul "Will you stay with me? I need a friend." Paul hugs Bree, as they look into each other's eyes intently fighting their attraction.
At Jack and Samantha's Home at Whispering Hills, Samantha walks into the living room, as Jack walks in and gives his Wife a kiss and tells his Wife "It's quiet around here." Samantha asks her Husband "Did you go with Ava to court today?" Jack tells his Wife "I let her have her space. Aunt Aretha was there as was the family." Samantha sighs "More enablers for her to booze it up. And likely Beth took her back to her old office at City Hospital and lit up." Jack gets frustrated, and asks Samantha "Why are you pushing your buttons with Mom? Jamie's on trial and it's really bothering her. She has to re-live a time of her life she hates." Samantha snaps "Grandpa died, she kicked up her smoking and drinking. Our Son finding Casey Ryan tied up in her basement.." Jack goes "Baby, I'm tired of this same old argument each and every day. Let's call it a night, and break in the new year for us, the right way instead." Samantha wraps her arms around Jack and asks "Roleplay or just backseat?" Jack grins, as they head to their bedroom, as they undress each other, and make love.
Back at Sully's Mansion, Sully walks inside, as Henry is passed out, and Randi walks downstairs, and smiles and slurs "Ahh Sully. The bitch that tried to hurt my Daughter when you lived on the lake." Sully snarks back "Randi Camden. Nothing but an old racist bitch that's likely here because she was shunned by her kids for being a selfish whore." Randi walks up to Sully, and snaps "Henry's Father died and I came to tell him and I'm living here as well. I'm staying in the room to the end upstairs. Henry said to pick a room." Sully answers "And as owner of this home you can sleep on the floor like any other bitch I don't want under my roof. That's my Daughter's room." Randi walks upstairs, as Sully walks over to Henry, and slaps him slightly on the face, as he wakes and smiles "See who came to stay?" Sully tells Henry "Go to bed so your Mom has a place to sleep tonight. Tomorrow I'll personally buy her a suite." Henry warns Sully "Now that's my Mother and you can't throw her out unless I agree." Sully tells her Fiancé sternly "I own this house, and my name's on it. Therefore Henry, whatever I say, goes. And there's many places Randi Camden can go, but she won't be under my roof." Henry gets up and walks upstairs, as the door opens, and Ruthie walks inside, and Sully asks her Daughter "And where were you this late?" Ruthie tells her Mother "I asked Grandma if I could stay with her and Papaw. She said no." Ruthie asks her Mother "What do you see in that scumbag?" Sully sits her Daughter down, and holds her hand, and gently tells her "He's simple. And very flawed. But always know you and Cain have my heart and when Mommy says enough, you'll be the first to know." Ruthie asks "Are you dropping a clue Mom?" Randi comes downstairs, as she laughs "Almost tripped." Ruthie turns to her Mother with distain, as Sully also rolls her eyes, as she tells Randi "Linens are in the closet." Sully and Ruthie walks upstairs, as Ruthie asks her Mother "Randi Camden's staying here? Did you approve this?" Sully hugs her Daughter, and answers "The bitch better be gone tomorrow. Love you sweet girl." Ruthie heads to her bedroom, as Sully walks into her bedroom, as Henry lays on the bed, and Sully boldly warns Henry "I want you to know this isn't Loma Vista, and I call the shots in this house! So take a pill and make sure you're awake before me in the morning and do it for Mom, or I'll give her a nice wake up call." Henry passes back out, as Sully sighs "Well, looks like I'll have the honors."
As night has fallen upon Adam's Landing, Wade sits at the bar inside The Holiday Hotel, as a young woman sits next to him, as they talk to each other. Wade asks her "So why come to a town as warped as this one?" The woman answers "I ask myself the same question, why?" Wade orders a round of drinks, as the woman tells Wade "I've enjoyed talking to you tonight. And thanks for the drinks. I have my preferences though." Wade asks the woman, as he's drunk "Ever looked at someone, and know that was the one? I really find you attractive. Let me walk you to your room." The woman accepts, as she and Wade heads to her room. At Bree's Mansion, Bree lays in bed, as she has a flashback, and opens her laptop, as Paul rolls over, and tells Bree "Put that laptop down and get some sleep." Bree tells Paul "We shouldn't be doing this. Maybe you should.." Paul kisses Bree, as she is taken back, and gives in as they begin to make love. Meanwhile at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth smokes a joint, as Ciarra's went to bed for the evening, and a quiet knock's heard. Beth answers, as a young girl stands outside, and asks Beth "Sorry it's late. I live across from you and Ms. Sullivan and read in the lobby something about a dog sitter?" Beth answers "Come back tomorrow and discuss that with Ms. Sullivan. Now go to bed. Aren't you and your roomie in college." The girl nods, as Beth smiles "I was once in college and know the struggle. You're hired. Now go rest up for your exams and we'll talk more." The girl smiles and asks "Do I smell..." Beth grins, and goes "Just for me. Now rest. And goodnight." The girl heads across the hall, as she and her roommate lives in Sully and Jared's former penthouse, renting it from Sully. At Hell Hill, Leigh sits on the couch, as she looks at the door, as she sends a text to her Son, and tells Brock "Your Father's not home yet. See you tomorrow." The door swings open suddenly, as Xavier looks at his Wife, as he tells her with a tone of disgust, and calm "Seems I received some papers at the office Leigh. Bobby was there and we read them together. I merely hope this is just a scare, otherwise you've just made the worst mistake of your life." Leigh yells at her Husband "You did this to yourself X! Time to make peace with our Son! If you love me, you will! Otherwise this is the deal and unlike in your normal world, you won't win this battle if he isn't back home tomorrow in this house!" Leigh points to a suitcase, and tells her "I'm serious Xavier Jackson." Xavier walks over to the suitcase, and tells his Wife, as he picks up the suitcase "I'll go talk to him tomorrow. For you." Leigh yells "Do it for yourself!" As Xavier heads upstairs, with the envelope in his pocket, and suitcase in hand, he looks down, and warns Leigh "I didn't raise a thief and a piece of shit. And also so you know, if this fails, you'll be the one moving out of here!" Xavier calls it a night, as Leigh looks up, and heads to the kitchen, and opens a bottle.
At The Sunset Club, Ava, Bree, and Aretha sits at a table as Ava orders drinks, and yells "It's on me. A toast to the best D.A. in Adam's Landing!" Bree tells her Aunt "I'm not feeling very celebratory right now." Aretha asks Ava "Where's Beth?" Ava tells her "She went back to update Ciarra.

Bree throws up her hands, and smiles at her Aunt, and goes "The state only does injections Aunt Ava, and let's just have dinner and I can go home to rest up for this." Rachel walks over, as Ava warns Rachel "You must have a death wish. Why are you bothering us with your presence?" Rachel looks at Aretha, and asks her in a cocky tone "Are you getting close to the D.A. for the big story? I want a turn." Ava gets up, and tells Rachel in a bold tone "We won't tell you a damn thing! I'm sure Jamie's done informed you all you need to know and will know as far as I am concerned."

I felt it was best to just move here and make up for the years lost." Henry tells his Mother "I love you Mama. Go pick a room and make yourself comfortable."
Meanwhile at Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Bridget walks downstairs, as she tells her Husband "I've got to go check on some things tomorrow in the Unity location of Class." Wade blows his Wife a kiss, as she walks out, and once outside sends a text to Jared, who sits in the living room to his loft in Downtown. Back inside Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Angelica walks into the living room, as she asks her Grandson "The whore's off with another man I take it." Wade answers "Likely. But she said it pertained to work." Angelica is silent, as she asks Wade "So I was told Xavier Jackson Jr was at HaleCorp today." Wade nods, and proudly exclaims "He's in our intern program.." Angelica goes "Hold on a moment Grandson. I do not want to wage battle against Xavier or his family. His Son is trouble if his own Father's cut him off. Think about this Wade." Wade tells his Grandmother "I have always wanted to get revenge on Xavier for those visits to The Storm Shelter, and the pain he's put me and Rachel through." Angelica tells Wade "I seen Rachel today at the Courthouse. I think she's just using Roger to get ownership of The Gossiper." Wade quips "That's the Rachel I know and love. She is happy and seems to have found peace." Angelica tells her Grandson, giving him a kiss "And you should find peace and divorce Bridget. You are miserable my poor little Wade." Wade takes a deep breath, as Angelica heads upstairs to call it a night, as he makes a phone call to Rachel, which goes to voicemail. He then calls Bridget, as she answers as she drives to Jared's Loft and snaps "Wade I am not cheating on you! I'm just going on a business trip in a dumpy town below another dump we call home currently." Wade tells his Wife "I don't really give a shit anymore Bridget. You want to act like this, then two can play that game. And stop giving Grandmother a hard time! That's an order you best follow at my command when you return!" Wade hangs up, as he leaves, and heads to The Holiday Hotel.
At Hell Hill, Leigh walks downstairs, as she carries a suitcase, as there's a knock at the door, and Leigh answers to find Ruthie on the other end, as Leigh asks her Granddaughter "It's getting late, and Sully will be worried." Ruthie asks her Grandmother "Can I stay here?" Leigh asks "Are you sure you'd want to? X and I aren't getting along well. Is it because of the trash Sully's seeing?" Ruthie nods, and sighs "I just don't like him Grandma. Papaw seems to think he's a great person. Leigh snarks "Anyone willing to put a bullet in someone is good in your Papaw's book. He's really turned into a real cold bastard." Ruthie goes "He's nice to me and Cain. He's also treats Mom like royalty and Aunt Gracie." Leigh tells her Granddaughter "Go tough it out tonight at home and call me if Henry causes any problems. I just don't think it's wise you are here tonight." Ruthie gets emotional, and tells her Grandmother "Papaw said I can always stay here." Leigh hugs Ruthie, and tells her with sadness "You don't want to be here tonight. Maybe next time." Ruthie leaves, as she looks towards the door, as she starts to cry. Inside, Leigh pours a drink, as she says to herself "Any minute now before that door swings open and hell breaks loose. But you did it to yourself Xavier."
Meanwhile, Bree returns to her Mansion, as Paul sits inside, and Bree asks Paul "So used the other key to await my arrival?" Paul tells Bree "Dad told me to come by and check in and you weren't here." Bree sits down, as she looks at Paul, with sadness, as she tells him with tears "I'm about to send my Mom to jail to die for killing my Sister, well making it happen!" Paul reminds Bree "Dad would be glad to put someone in your place if you don't want to since it is a conflict of interest." Bree yells angrily "No Paul! This is my job to do. Not Xavier's way. Not Aunt Ava's way. I plan to give my family the peace they've longed for, especially Aunt Ava. Paul quips "Locking your Mom in a cell and setting it on fire and inviting Ava to watch?" Bree rolls her eyes, as Paul tells Bree "I'm joking. Look, I know this is tearing you apart. Since the boys are back in School.." Bree looks at Paul, and cries "Those boys are the last pieces of my Sister I've got left. You've done a great job with them. Paul tells her "We know Jared's raising Russ, but at least he's working with me. I'm keeping her family together!" Bree starts to cry, as she cries "Summer wasn't perfect. Grandma never let her forget her birth destroyed the family literally. It's been so much and she loved Mom. And once Mom got with Angelica, wrote those damn books.. And then married Roger Lord and turned into a monster. Money turned her into someone I hate." Paul asks Bree "Do you think Jamie killed Summer because she was a threat?" Bree heads to the stairway, as she prepares to call it a night, and asks Paul "Going back to Bobby's?" Paul answers "I guess so." Bree asks Paul "Will you stay with me? I need a friend." Paul hugs Bree, as they look into each other's eyes intently fighting their attraction.
At Jack and Samantha's Home at Whispering Hills, Samantha walks into the living room, as Jack walks in and gives his Wife a kiss and tells his Wife "It's quiet around here." Samantha asks her Husband "Did you go with Ava to court today?" Jack tells his Wife "I let her have her space. Aunt Aretha was there as was the family." Samantha sighs "More enablers for her to booze it up. And likely Beth took her back to her old office at City Hospital and lit up." Jack gets frustrated, and asks Samantha "Why are you pushing your buttons with Mom? Jamie's on trial and it's really bothering her. She has to re-live a time of her life she hates." Samantha snaps "Grandpa died, she kicked up her smoking and drinking. Our Son finding Casey Ryan tied up in her basement.." Jack goes "Baby, I'm tired of this same old argument each and every day. Let's call it a night, and break in the new year for us, the right way instead." Samantha wraps her arms around Jack and asks "Roleplay or just backseat?" Jack grins, as they head to their bedroom, as they undress each other, and make love.
Back at Sully's Mansion, Sully walks inside, as Henry is passed out, and Randi walks downstairs, and smiles and slurs "Ahh Sully. The bitch that tried to hurt my Daughter when you lived on the lake." Sully snarks back "Randi Camden. Nothing but an old racist bitch that's likely here because she was shunned by her kids for being a selfish whore." Randi walks up to Sully, and snaps "Henry's Father died and I came to tell him and I'm living here as well. I'm staying in the room to the end upstairs. Henry said to pick a room." Sully answers "And as owner of this home you can sleep on the floor like any other bitch I don't want under my roof. That's my Daughter's room." Randi walks upstairs, as Sully walks over to Henry, and slaps him slightly on the face, as he wakes and smiles "See who came to stay?" Sully tells Henry "Go to bed so your Mom has a place to sleep tonight. Tomorrow I'll personally buy her a suite." Henry warns Sully "Now that's my Mother and you can't throw her out unless I agree." Sully tells her Fiancé sternly "I own this house, and my name's on it. Therefore Henry, whatever I say, goes. And there's many places Randi Camden can go, but she won't be under my roof." Henry gets up and walks upstairs, as the door opens, and Ruthie walks inside, and Sully asks her Daughter "And where were you this late?" Ruthie tells her Mother "I asked Grandma if I could stay with her and Papaw. She said no." Ruthie asks her Mother "What do you see in that scumbag?" Sully sits her Daughter down, and holds her hand, and gently tells her "He's simple. And very flawed. But always know you and Cain have my heart and when Mommy says enough, you'll be the first to know." Ruthie asks "Are you dropping a clue Mom?" Randi comes downstairs, as she laughs "Almost tripped." Ruthie turns to her Mother with distain, as Sully also rolls her eyes, as she tells Randi "Linens are in the closet." Sully and Ruthie walks upstairs, as Ruthie asks her Mother "Randi Camden's staying here? Did you approve this?" Sully hugs her Daughter, and answers "The bitch better be gone tomorrow. Love you sweet girl." Ruthie heads to her bedroom, as Sully walks into her bedroom, as Henry lays on the bed, and Sully boldly warns Henry "I want you to know this isn't Loma Vista, and I call the shots in this house! So take a pill and make sure you're awake before me in the morning and do it for Mom, or I'll give her a nice wake up call." Henry passes back out, as Sully sighs "Well, looks like I'll have the honors."
As night has fallen upon Adam's Landing, Wade sits at the bar inside The Holiday Hotel, as a young woman sits next to him, as they talk to each other. Wade asks her "So why come to a town as warped as this one?" The woman answers "I ask myself the same question, why?" Wade orders a round of drinks, as the woman tells Wade "I've enjoyed talking to you tonight. And thanks for the drinks. I have my preferences though." Wade asks the woman, as he's drunk "Ever looked at someone, and know that was the one? I really find you attractive. Let me walk you to your room." The woman accepts, as she and Wade heads to her room. At Bree's Mansion, Bree lays in bed, as she has a flashback, and opens her laptop, as Paul rolls over, and tells Bree "Put that laptop down and get some sleep." Bree tells Paul "We shouldn't be doing this. Maybe you should.." Paul kisses Bree, as she is taken back, and gives in as they begin to make love. Meanwhile at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth smokes a joint, as Ciarra's went to bed for the evening, and a quiet knock's heard. Beth answers, as a young girl stands outside, and asks Beth "Sorry it's late. I live across from you and Ms. Sullivan and read in the lobby something about a dog sitter?" Beth answers "Come back tomorrow and discuss that with Ms. Sullivan. Now go to bed. Aren't you and your roomie in college." The girl nods, as Beth smiles "I was once in college and know the struggle. You're hired. Now go rest up for your exams and we'll talk more." The girl smiles and asks "Do I smell..." Beth grins, and goes "Just for me. Now rest. And goodnight." The girl heads across the hall, as she and her roommate lives in Sully and Jared's former penthouse, renting it from Sully. At Hell Hill, Leigh sits on the couch, as she looks at the door, as she sends a text to her Son, and tells Brock "Your Father's not home yet. See you tomorrow." The door swings open suddenly, as Xavier looks at his Wife, as he tells her with a tone of disgust, and calm "Seems I received some papers at the office Leigh. Bobby was there and we read them together. I merely hope this is just a scare, otherwise you've just made the worst mistake of your life." Leigh yells at her Husband "You did this to yourself X! Time to make peace with our Son! If you love me, you will! Otherwise this is the deal and unlike in your normal world, you won't win this battle if he isn't back home tomorrow in this house!" Leigh points to a suitcase, and tells her "I'm serious Xavier Jackson." Xavier walks over to the suitcase, and tells his Wife, as he picks up the suitcase "I'll go talk to him tomorrow. For you." Leigh yells "Do it for yourself!" As Xavier heads upstairs, with the envelope in his pocket, and suitcase in hand, he looks down, and warns Leigh "I didn't raise a thief and a piece of shit. And also so you know, if this fails, you'll be the one moving out of here!" Xavier calls it a night, as Leigh looks up, and heads to the kitchen, and opens a bottle.
