Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 24. Showdown At The Creek. Part 1.

    In The Storm Shelter, Leigh is silent, as is Aaron, as Ava, Country, and Henry look at her, as Ava keeps her aim on Leigh, and warns her Sister In Law "Drop the damn phone before I make you drop." Henry bends down to take a drink of liquor, as he yells "And I have no problem killing this piece of shit! I think Ms. Beth might want a turn with the Doctor or so he said according to her. I would also believe her!" Ava nods in agreement, as Leigh yells "I love him!!" Ava sighs with a deep tone of anger "You stupid, naïve whore. You love a man that raped a woman that has been a Sister to you for many years and been there for you. And also in the process hurt my Brother, and my Nieces and Nephew? How Leigh?" Aaron yells "Because I am innocent and I've changed!" Ava screams, as she aims at Aaron, as Henry aims at Leigh "You need to just tell me who the hell really sent you here and then we can kill you! I will NEVER let you around my SON or GRANDSON! Do you understand me you sick piece of shit?!!?" Leigh yells at Ava "He's changed!" Henry warns Leigh, as Country is silent and awaiting a motion "May want to just shut the hell up before I just kill you. Really bitch who'd miss you anyway!" Ava looks at Henry and Country, as she turns to Leigh, and aims her pistol at her, and goes "If she wants to be with this, then let her have her wish. Lock her up!" Leigh begins to run, as Henry and Country catch her, as Ava snarls at Leigh "I guess you will get to see what happens to people who hurt our family.", as she reaches down and grabs Leigh's phone, as Country and Henry shackle her to the floor, next to Aaron, as Country sighs with sadness "Damn. I hate it, but this is Ava's show down here."

    Up the hill at Hell Hill, Beth, Tenny, Sully, Gracie, and Ruthie all sit in the living room, as Tenny tells her Daughter, and Great-Grandchildren of her time in hiding, as Ruthie asks with enthusiasm "What's Amsterdam like Gran?" Sully looks at her Daughter, as she tells her Grandmother and Great-Grandmother "Well looks like the weed is a generation skipper for us!" Beth laughs "No Sully, Brock does it too. I know because I've found some missing." Tenny smiles "My family all together and happy. Now let's discuss the houseguests with Sully." Sully tells Tenny "Gran, I think I can handle Randi!" Tenny quips "Well, she is just one of them. Henry looks like a hillbilly." Beth goes "Mama, he works for Xavier, and isn't in business. That's a good thing." Tenny sighs "I guess so. Well do I?" Gracie and Ruthie laugh, as Tenny tells them "I'm ready to visit my Sister." Beth goes "Are you sure?" Tenny looks at her family, and says to them, as she cries "She needs me, and really I need her. I owe her." At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Ciarra walks back into the living room, as Rose sits and Ciarra asks Rose "So what's going on because it has felt a little weird." A knock's at the door, as Ciarra answers, and Precious growls, as Rose pets Precious, and Bree stands on the other side, as she hugs her Grandmother, and goes "I was thinking about you and figured I'd stop while I had some time." Bree looks at Rose, and bluntly asks "And why are you in town? I will not allow a moocher.." Ciarra goes "Now stop. She's just come back and may stay here and I have no problems with her." Bree goes "Ok then." Rose tells Bree "So I hear you're expecting?" Bree nods, as she tells Ciarra "I want you to be a part of its life because I love you so much. I wish you could forget about the woman that gave birth to me." Rose tells them "This seems like its personal, so I am going to head out for a little bit." Rose leaves, as Bree talks to Ciarra, as Ciarra looks at Bree, and tells her softly "I love you and so thankful you are my Granddaughter. I would never be ashamed of you and so proud of you and can't wait to meet the next member of our family."

    At Jackson Inc., Xavier sits inside his office, as he makes a phone call, and goes "I want to buy some stock in The Holiday Hotel. My name's Adam Manning." In Jack's office, Javon tells Jack "My Mom's coming to town tonight, and then within the next day, I'll be married." Jack warns his Friend "It's not all it's meant to be. Samantha and I are rocky right now with her issues with my Mom, and I side with my Mom. J.J. is close to her, and she knows him really, better than me or Samantha." Javon asks Jack "How have you remained so chill since all the shit that's happened with Leigh's new man and who he is.." Jack quickly tells his co-worker and friend "I never met him and best he stays the hell away from my family or I would kill him for the pain, and the hurt my Mom never forgets and fights all the time." Javon is silent, as Jack walks out, and looks towards Xavier's office, as its empty, and Javon walks out, as Jack asks him "Where are you going?" Javon notices Xavier's office, and sighs "It'll have to wait Jack. It's about my store idea." Jack and Javon look at each other, and go "Our plans will be great for the company and keep us on the top!"

    At The Exposer, Aretha's in her office, as the door opens, as Eve Mathis goes "Surprise!" Aretha jumps, and yells "What a nice surprise! You've been too busy!" Eve quips "That's the truth Aretha! Same old thing as you know. And Sayyid being cancer-free is a huge benefit and let's leave it at that." Aretha asks "Did Uncle Clem come with you and how long are you staying?" Eve answers "I'm staying until wedding day. Sayyid is another story. We have a great love, but I just learned to let him do his thing. He's missed Willie." Aretha tells Eve "Mama does miss having him close to her. She stays busy, but thankfully she got over what happened." Eve agrees, as she tells Aretha "I remind him he's getting older, and needs to slow down." Aretha quips "Good luck Eve." Eve laughs "Precisely girl!" At The Evans Home, Willie sits in the living room, as she reads her bible as there's a knock at the door, and Willie gets up to answer, as she smiles with joy "Clem! I thought you would be here in a few more days!" Sayyid laughs, as they embrace in a hug "I wanted to see you, and beat you at 21." Willie laughs "Don't tell me you wasted a few days just to attempt to win against me and my game Clemmon Ross!" Sayyid tells his Sister "I just wanted to spend some time with you and check on things around here. I plan to stay after Eve goes home once our new family member's welcomed by her legendary ballad I wrote for her actually." Willie gushes, as she tells her Youngest Brother "I was shocked when you did that. Made me think of Cissy." Sayyid sits down, and goes "Willie, I had many dreams, but the streets called. Now my health's calling. Eve has to keep me in line but you know how I do." Willie warns him "Eve's the ass-kicking kinda woman Clem. May want to listen to her, because we are getting older, and I've slowed down, but still travel to see Rashad and Shannon sometimes." Sayyid quips "I will go out in a blaze of glory." Willie gets a hand of playing cards, and tells Sayyid "Ok. Now let's see if you can back your bet up on beating me at this lovely game." They head to the table, as Sayyid has a smile on his face.

     At Chantel's, Roger and Rachel has a meal, as she tells him "That was nice at the office earlier." Angelica walks over, as Roger rolls his eyes, and asks "Looking for Carver?" Angelica turns to Rachel, and goes "Finally got Bridget burned out of town. Poor Brother's going all crazy.." Rachel looks at Angelica, and boldly tells her "He has some mental problems that he can't control and don't laugh about it around me because I would hurt you for Cody." Angelica apologizes, and tells them "I am here for other purposes now so excuse me." Angelica walks away, as Roger asks Rachel "Did you get anymore info?" Rachel tells Roger "I'm meeting Bridget later and she'll fill me in. I sure hope Ryan doesn't find out because this would mean war." Roger looks at Rachel, as he assures her "My mole just left a text so he's gonna be distracted. Storm Shelter was mentioned." Rachel quips "Well he will learn that Adam's Landing isn't New York, and wanna make a bet how long it is before he's in there?" Roger quips "At least I never been." Rachel takes a deep breath, and holds his hand, and goes  "It's hell. Pure hell!"

      Meanwhile at Class, Brock sits inside Will's new office, as he asks Will, as he glances at a text "What about you and Gracie expecting?" Will is quiet, as he tells Brock "No need to worry. It'll be mine." Brock tells Will "I know your name though I didn't know you until you arrived here." Will tells Brock "I knew Gracie when working for Ryan, and we had sex. There you go. Want to know more, then talk to your twin about it." Brock tells Will "I'd rather talk to you, because she said you weren't the Father." Will looks at Brock, trying to stay calm, and tells him "If you wanna learn this business you are welcomed to stay with me. Otherwise stop with this and go back and see your Great-Grandmother!" Brock is quiet, as he slowly tells Will "I like you, and I feel something about this, but also you love my Sister, and that's the main thing." Will answers "She has given me purpose. I want to spend forever with Gracie." Brock smiles, as he tells him "I think the two of you will I bet."

     Back at The Storm Shelter, Leigh's phone rings, as it's quiet inside, as Leigh and Aaron is shackled to the floor, as Ava, Henry, Country are inside, and Leigh asks Country "Can you kill the woman your best friend loves?" Henry and Ava take a drink of liquor, as Aaron yells at Leigh "I thought you were taking everything?" Country warns Aaron "I've heard enough out of you." Ava yells "I've heard about enough from both of you! I'm about to call the family!" Leigh gets emotional, and Country reminds her "This is your doing, and this is what happens. And you have really hurt someone I consider family. And yes, my family Leigh, you've hurt them all." Country wipes a tear from his eye, as Leigh goes "I'm sorry!" Ava snarls "That's right you are sorry. A washed up model that turned into a Jamie Marx and became an overnight whore! I'm starting to think you deserve to die for this!" Ava picks back up her pistol, as Aaron tells Ava "You know you're jealous.." A shot's fired..

    At Sully's Mansion, Sully and Ruthie walks inside, as Ruthie tells her Mother "This feels like a dream Mom. This is something from one of the soap operas." Sully quips "It is. But Gran being home gives our family a lot of happiness we've been needing for a long time." Randi walks downstairs, as she laughs "I moved back in since it appears it's quiet around here and.." Sully asks in a snarky tone "Did Frank wise up and figure you out?" Randi gasps "How did you know.." Ruthie goes to her room, as Sully tells Henry's Mother "Henry and I have no secrets. And you need to take your withered old ass back upstairs and pack back up and go see your other kids and stay gone!" Randi warns Sully "I will just move in with Frank Jackson. I'll make sure your Granny knows because I'm not scared of her!" Randi storms upstairs, as Sully takes a deep breath, with anger in her eyes, as the doorbell rings, and Sully answers, as Ryan stands on the other side and asks "Have you seen your Mom? She came to visit her home earlier.." Sully answers "Haven't seen her and don't come back!" Sully shuts the door, as she yells "Hurry up Randi! I won't have you in MY house!" Outside, Ryan is silent, as he heads to the ALPD.

    At The Sunset Club, Xavier walks to Angelica's table, as she tells Xavier "I've expected you, and see that you'd like to make a deal in regards to Tenny Sullivan." Xavier sternly tells Angelica "I have her debt in this check, and you'll be even, and there will remain peace. However, if you or your family tries anything else, someone dies, and my eyes are on Wade." Angelica tells Xavier "I know who shot him also because they are related to you. Let's discuss the price they have to pay." Xavier goes "And let's discuss me calling City Hospital, and putting Wade away for awhile, or I could kill him. I'd feel better knowing that sad excuse of a heir to Winston was dead. And same for Jared, but he is Ruthie and Cain's Father." Angelica quips "I told Wade not to hire Brock, and to really be honest with you as we are similar in our actions. I am glad to see what happened to happen. It has shown me something that I have long been scared of." Xavier quips "Wade's lack of knowledge in business. I mean we have to remember where he came from." Angelica snarls "His Father would sleep with any whore he'd meet. That's how I ended up with disappointments." Xavier asks Angelica "So once Wade is released, and he decides to try and get revenge on who shot him, who I love.. You and I both safely know what I'll do to him and what it'll mean." Angelica looks at Xavier for a second, and says in a serious tone of assurance "I got Wade wrapped all around my finger. He would believe me if I said the sky was falling. But as for Tenny, it's forgot. As for Wade, be assured knowing my power and leverage over him. I have some ideas of my own for who he needs to kill." Angelica and Xavier gets up, as she leaves, and Xavier is silent, and goes "Forget racing, looks like HaleCorp might be falling."

     At Class, Brock has left, and Gracie arrives inside her new office, as Will greets her with a kiss, and tells her "Bridget's things were packed, and sent to her home." Gracie tells Will with a scared tone "I met my Great-Gran, and now they know something Will." Will holds her, and goes "That you're pregnant?" Gracie nods, and tells Will, getting emotional "It will hurt them again, and especially Daddy if he knows this child I'm carrying belongs to Wade Issac!" Will reminds her "Gracie! I told you I would sign the papers, and accept the position, I mean responsibility!" Gracie cries "I know, but it's not fair. I should just abort!" Will goes "Stop that! We will raise this child together, and we will have our family! So stop worrying Gracie!" Gracie is quiet, as Will hugs her, and tells her "Everything will be ok. I know it will baby."

     At The Exposer, Rachel walks inside Aretha's office, as she tells Aretha "I visited Wade, and he's going a little mad. I know this side of him and decided against saying shit to Bridget!" Aretha asks "Well what in the hell is it? Eve's in town so you are warned." Rachel goes "Thank you and well Bridget's pregnant with Jared's child. Wade said to me that he thinks it was arranged." Aretha goes "Thanks for my next story!" Rachel stops Aretha, and warns her "Not quite yet. He said something else before falling asleep again. He's really angry." Aretha listens, as Rachel tells her what Wade informed her, as Aretha gasps "Are you serious? This is major if he isn't hallucinating." Rachel sighs "And I know that. What should we do?" Aretha is silent for a second and tells Rachel "You should know by now that you ever expose anything that you will pay with your life. Just my feelings. As for the Jared and Bridget, that should be exposed and I'd love to write up on it!" Rachel tells her "Just don't mention me when writing!" Aretha answers "Who?", as Rachel leaves, and Aretha sends a text to her Mother, telling Willie "Got something hot on that bitch Bridget!"

    Down in The Storm Shelter, Aaron and Leigh are shackled to the floor, as Ava, Henry, and Country walks around them, as both Aaron and Leigh have anger in their eyes, as Leigh glares at Country and goes "You are just Xavier's 'yes' man. And a piece of shit. But here you are back in the fold. But after these years I know why you and X are so close, both of you aren't right.." Country yells angrily at Leigh "Shut the shit up because you hurt X and your family doing this! And ya know, I oughta just..." Country aims his rifle at Leigh, as Ava and Henry watch Aaron, as Ava asks Aaron "So who are you answering to? And better give me a damn answer or you're dead!" Leigh yells fiercely "Let us go!" Ava walks over and snarls "I was not talking to you. Interrupt again and I'll kill you myself!" Leigh laughs at Ava "Soon the ALPD will be here and all of you will be arrested! I actually showed up to see that ghost, and Ryan knows who crazy all of you are.." Ava backhands Leigh across the face, as Aaron screams "What did you say whore?" At the ALPD, Paul sits in his office, as Ryan runs inside, and yells "I need to report a missing person, or you all go find her." Paul asks "For who Ryan?" Ryan snaps "Mr. Chase." Paul goes "That'd been reserved for your Daddy, but not for you. Now who's missing?" Ryan goes "Leigh went to Hell Hill for a story, and then she went silent and.." Paul pushes a button, as two officers walk in the room, as Ryan tells them "Head to Hell Hill, and this so called Storm Shelter.." Paul walks up to Ryan, as he handcuffs Ryan, and goes in a bold tone "We don't need your help. And it's taken care of. Now go check out our new wing of the jail. I'll call your Mother." Ryan's taken out, as Paul laughs to himself "Wanted to do that for awhile."

    At Jackson Inc, Xavier returns as he sees Jack and Javon, as Xavier tells them "I checked my email, and seen your proposals and I love both!" Jack tells his Uncle "Well ThriftQuik is in development. I'm talking to some Jim's locations of opening locations to start things off, and expand away into rural areas." Xavier turns to Javon, and tells him "I'm not going to be able to attend the wedding, but my gift will be a nice bonus that I'll be offended if you tried to repay." Javon thanks him, as Xavier tells them "Now I'm heading home, and the two of you keep up the great work!" Xavier leaves, as Jack and Javon look at each other, and shake hands, as Jack tells him "Well you did it!" Javon smiles with pride. At Hell Hill, Brock arrives, as the house is empty, and hears screams down the hill, as he runs to The Storm Shelter. Inside, Bobby has returned, as he tells Ava, Country, and Henry "My Son's arrested Chase's Son. So no worries from him until this thing's settled." Country walks out, as he texts Bree, and tells his Daughter "Hope you're resting. Dad loves you." Brock runs down, as Country stops him, and warns "Don't wanna go in there Brock." Inside, Leigh yells at Bobby "When that divorce's done all of you will pay for this! I know that for fact!" Aaron yells at Leigh enraged "So what about you and Ryan?" Leigh screams to be released, as Ava takes a drink of liquor, and lights a cigarette, as Henry tells her "Just say when." Outside, Brock screams at Country "Don't kill Mom! Is Dad behind this!" Brock pulls a gun on Country, as he puts his hands up, and goes "He doesn't know she's here Son." Meanwhile at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Ciarra sits inside the living room, as Rose sits inside with her, as there's a knock at the door, and Rose answers, as Ciarra goes "Thank you and tell them I'm asleep." Beth and Tenny stands on the other side, as Rose looks back at Ciarra, as she tells Rose "I smell perfume. A distinct smell only one.." Rose opens the door, as Tenny walks inside, with Beth next to her Mother, as Ciarra's eyes widen, and gets up, as she walks up to her Sister, and touches her face, as Beth tells her Aunt "She had to." Tenny cries "I'm so sorry I left!" Ciarra and Tenny hug each other, as they both cry, as Ciarra cries "I've missed you Tennessee.." Tenny goes "And I've missed you baby sister."

   

 

   
   

   
   

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 23. The Calm Of Darkness

    It's the next morning in Adam's Landing, and at Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the living room, as she drinks a cup of coffee, with a touch of whiskey, as Jack and J.J. walk out of the kitchen, as Jack tells his Mother "That was a great breakfast." Ava quips "My housekeeper does great work. And it's nice that things are peaceful on my side of the road." Jack tells her "Samantha's visiting her Mom, and J.J. and I are going to FJR, and he's gonna look at Uncle Frank's collection, as we finish those contracts Sully wanted done." Ava tells her Son and Grandson "It's nice she's up in the Midwest. I can have my boys to myself and live without ridicule." Jack asks his Mother "What's got you all cheery this morning? Normally as of recent you've been plotting." Ava winks at her Son, as she tells J.J. "Grandma's happy to see her favorite boy." Jack goes "Now what about me Mom?" Ava hugs her Grandson, as she tells Jack "He's my heart. And so are you. My boys." Across the road in The Storm Shelter, Aaron's chained to the floor, as he screams, and Henry walks inside with a rifle, and laughs "This is a first for me. And shut the hell up because people are up the hill and I'm just itching to kill you! But I think someone else wants to do the honors." Aaron yells "Leigh will find me! And I demand you let me out of here! Tell Xavier to release me!!" Henry bends down, and goes "Take it up with Ava, she's gonna handle you. But don't you worry because there's more aiming for you. Rapists aren't popular you sick piece of shit." Aaron yells for help, as Henry grows frustrated, and snaps "Nobody's gonna save your worthless ass so shut up!" Aaron goes "Make me!" Henry hits Aaron with the rifle, as he's knocked out cold.

       At Hell Hill, Beth has finished breakfast, as Tenny sits at the table, and asks her Daughter "So when do I get my baby?" Beth turns to her Mother, and responds "When you tell me how you pulled this stunt young lady! I replaced your hip after that fall that was a rousing success it appears and knew it'd be, then you suddenly died and cremated before anyone could see you. Now what was your reason for it? It has hurt our family. My Brother's dead because of it and Olivia and Allison will likely resent you for it." Tenny sighs "It'll take time but it'll be ok. Now my Oldest Sister, she's another story." Beth sighs "She's really sad and hates to even leave home." Tenny tells Beth with sadness "While in hiding with Rose, as she and Nathan knew I was alive, and they kept the secret, but Nathan is like Allan!" Beth listens as her Mother tells her of her reasons, as Tenny continues "When Jamie was put on trial, and I do keep up with things. I knew I had to come back. Angelica Hale and the Santiago family has to die Beth!" Beth asks her Mother "How long have you been here?" Tenny goes in a coy tone "A few days. Xavier has kept it a secret, and you need to go and beat Leigh's ass and that's Mommy's demand. And teach Xavier Jr and Gracie to call me "Gran". Beth laughs "Gracie and Brock call me "Gram." Beth's tone changes, as she warns her Mother "It's not the same now Mama, and Olivia and Allison, and Ginny who's going to be a Doctor, they will be upset. But.. Aunt Ciarra..." Tenny tells her Daughter "After breakfast we're going back to my home to see her. But I am going to live here at Hell Hill, and look after Xavier. He needs some love." Beth hugs her Mother, as she cries "I've missed you Mama..." Tenny cries as well, as she goes in a soft loving tone "And I've missed you so much sweet girl. My sweet Beth."

     At Jackson Inc., Sully walks into her Father's office, as Xavier sits at his desk and tells his Daughter "Well Princess, I'm back to work and before we are interrupted, I need to tell you something you only tell Queenie and Cain." Sully, with concern, asks her Father "What is it Daddy? I know that tone and you are sober." Xavier nods, as he folds his arms and bends over on his desk and looks down for a moment, as he tries to find the right words, and Gracie and Brock walk inside, as Xavier yells "Shit!" Brock tells his Father "Dad! I'm right here and just gave Javon the info I got at HaleCorp. Did she.." Sully and Gracie both grow suspicious, as Xavier snaps at his Son "Damnit can you keep your damn mouth shut boy?" Xavier looks at his children, as he takes a deep breath, and goes "Woo." He looks down once again and looks at his children and slowly says "Your Gran has returned. She faked her death because Angelica had a bounty on her." Sully starts to cry, and goes "This is amazing. Ruthie and her would be very close. Gran adored her and I want to see her!" as excitement is in her tone, as Brock goes "She's awesome. She's really helped me learn who I am and all about Grandpa J.D.." Gracie asks her Father "So what's Gran's intentions since Angelica is in town and it seems you and Aunt Ava and Gram are close to her.." Sully agrees as does Brock, as Xavier tells them "I'm paying Angelica her debt and it'll all be over. And she'll also be forgiving since she's mellowed. My mole at Class said she snapped at Bridget over the way she talked to Ruthie." Sully tells her family "I'm going to see her!" Sully rushes out. Gracie looks at her Father, and asks him "Can I let Will Brooks manage Class so I can meet..." Xavier warmly goes "Oh yes, but don't tell your Aunt Ciarra or Olivia, and sure as hell not to Cale and Allison and Ginny if you see them!" Gracie also rushes out, as Brock asks his Father "So what is it you want me to do today?" Xavier looks at his Son, and tells him "Sit down and get comfortable as we go over Wade's little stunt he wanted to pull on us!"

     At City Hospital, in the ICU, Wade is laying in his bed, as he is slowly waking, and Keisha walks inside, as he looks at her silently, and she tells him "We're going to move you to the private floor, as your POA has asked." Wade slurs "Bridget?" Keisha shakes her head, and answers "Your Grandmother. And Barbara had put you under my care so you will heal and should be able to return back home in a day or so." Keisha walks out, as Wade lays in bed, and slurs "Bridget." In the ICU waiting area, Angelica sits, as Barbara passes by, and Angelica walks up to her and coldly goes "Good morning you blue collar whore." Barbara pours her coffee on Angelica's coat, and snaps "I never slept with Winston, and yes my kids knew him. He helped me and my Husband out when we struggled during that rough stretch in Valley Ridge and Winston was my patient for a long damn time. And we were very close and would have married him in a minute if I could of!!" Angelica asks Barbara "So are you happy to be a whore.." A fight erupts between Barbara and Angelica, as Terrance arrives with Ginny, and both breaks up the fight, as Barbara storms away, and Angelica coldly warns Terrance and Ginny "Fire her or I will sue this place!' Terrance answers "Hell no. And deal with it!" Terrace and Ginny walk away, as Angelica grows furious, as she makes a phone call.

      Meanwhile at the new headquarters for Chase Media, Ryan and Leigh are in the studio, as they walk around, as Leigh is distracted, and Ryan brags "I will be king of this town soon!" Leigh's eyes are glued on her phone, as Ryan gets a text, as he reads and looks at Leigh and goes "My mole I've had hiding outside Hell Hill reported seeing Tenny Sullivan." Leigh laughs "That snooty old woman's dead. She was never really mean to me, but when I had an incident with Clayton Hale years ago, she had a problem with me but I do respect her. A pioneer in retail." Ryan tells Leigh "So wanna handle a story, or should you go visit her with our camera crew. It could be your pilot." Leigh is quiet for a moment, and tells him "Let's go check on my soon to be home and see if it's haunted by her." Ryan yells with excitement "Damn ratings hit!" They hug, as Ryan tells her "Leigh Woods, welcome to Hollywood you fashion icon!" Leigh kisses Ryan, as he doesn't resist, and they back away, as Leigh goes "You're old enough to be my son.." Ryan tells Leigh "You and the crew go get that story." Leigh and three cameramen leave, as Ryan says to himself "This is strange."

     At The Sunset Club, Rose has breakfast, as she looks at her phone and sends a text, telling Tenny "Call me please! I worry about you. Love you!" Rose is silent, as Rachel arrives, and looks at Rose, and tells her "Well look who's in town after marrying Nathan James. Producer and the fading rocker."
Rose looks at Rachel, and tells her "I'm proud you've grown up. Looks like Roger has been good for you. And Nathan and I are over." Rose and Rachel begin to chat, as Rachel gushes "I'm in love with Roger. He's my lover, but also like a Dad I never had. I used to think I was in true love with Wade, but Roger has really made a significant impact on me and made me better." Rose tells her "That's wonderful. And I wish I could find someone like that. Thought it was Nathan, but after Allan died, he just turned to that record company and drugs. He's out in L.A., and I worry about him." Rachel tells Rose "Let's meet again, and we'll restore our old friendship." Rose and Rachel hugs, as Rachel heads to Lord Incorporated, and Rose heads to Jackson Inc.

     At FJR, Frank and Cale are inside Cale's office, as Cale looks on his computer, and tells his Father "So why don't you tell me about the new woman and if Aunt Beth knows?" Frank quips "It's a secret. She's Randi Jennings as I knew her. She and my friend Bob had a fling and created Henry." Cale laughs, as he tells him "Dad you should keep an eye out on her. She seems like my Mom and Aunt Connie." Frank assures Cale "I promise I'm watching her. I worry about Beth's reaction mainly." Jack and J.J, walks inside, as they all hug each other warmly, as Frank turns to his Son, and tells him "Cale, since I've slowed down here, sign these deals. Me and my buddy's gonna go look at some cars I drove." Frank takes his Great-Nephew out of Cale's office, as Cale tells Jack "J.J. is smart. I want him to come help down here whenever he likes." Jack accepts, and goes "I have checked the results, and since my best friend drives for my Uncle's team and Uncle Xavier has been watching the sport lately." Cale sighs "Yes. Jim's is the only full-time sponsor in the league this year, and gossip is that its for sale." Jack tells him "I think Uncle Xavier should buy it. He has overall helped you all when he wasn't pissed off." Cale goes "He knows people and I think he could do just that." Jack adds "And he's backing slowly away and letting Sully call the shots and with Leigh, he might go for it." Cale asks Jack "Wanna talk to him about it right now?" Jack goes "Let's sign this extension, and for all cars, and also your satellite teams, and spend some time with the tourists." They laugh as Cale tells his Cousin "This will be awesome!"

    Back at The Storm Shelter, Bobby, Jo, Bree, Paul, and Country are inside, as Aaron holds his head, and Bobby laughs "Xavier is at work. He's giving Ava the call for you." Jo walks towards Aaron, and bends down, and snarls with anger "You are the type that don't deserve to breathe you piece of shit. I wish I could have killed you over Ava..." Aaron yells "I'm innocent." Everyone grow angry, as Henry yells from outside "Someone just damn shoot him or I will!" Back in The Storm Shelter, Paul tells Aaron "I can send you back to Prison out west." Bree adds "I wish you were dead. Stand up." Aaron stands up, and Bree backhands him, as she begins to attack, and everyone in the room stops her, as she cries "Poor Aunt Ava! The hell she goes through because of this!" Jo and Country consoles her, as Paul asks his Father "Is Ava on her way?" Bobby tells his Son "I am looking for her to pop up since she's calling this one."

    Up the hill at Hell Hill, Beth and Tenny sits on the back porch, as they smoke a joint, and laugh, as they hear a voice enter the house." Beth looks at her Mother, as she goes "Sounds like Ava." Tenny tells her Daughter "Send her out here." Beth yells, as Ava walks onto the back porch, and in a very calm tone, goes with awe and joy in her eyes "Tenny! I knew that perfume when I was over yesterday!" Tenny hugs Ava, and asks "How can you be friends with a woman that made you believe Jack was dead and then he gets two transplants thanks to her, and Angelica and her family deserve to pay big for the pain they've caused me. Allan was my Son, and I had to hide when she started sending threats, and that good doctor at City Hospital helped me pull it off." Beth asks her Mother "Why is it you seem a little different?" Tenny tells Beth gently "My sweet girl, Rose and I traveled and A.J.'s a genius! I have loved seeing the world. It's been awesome. Enjoying the years I have. I know I'm not young." Ava and Beth both assure her "You are a strong woman, and this is exactly what our family needs right now. You." Tenny smiles.

     Back at Jackson Inc., Xavier sits inside his office, as there's a knock at the door, and Xavier yells "Come in!" Rose walks inside, as she asks Xavier "Where's Tenny? She disappeared from L.A., and I'm worried." Xavier tells her "She's fine. She's with me right now." Rose takes a sigh of relief, as she tells him "I'm sorry and please don't send me down to The Storm Shelter!" Xavier laughs "Nah. I am thankful of your loyalty to her and being there. She needs it and she seems happier now and I know you'd had to played a part. She has always considered you the Granddaughter she wish she could.." Rose quips "She said the same thing. Wonder why?" Xavier laughs "Cale is Frank's Son, and Grandma detests my Brother. But really, she has that right as we know the story thanks to Jamie's book. Among others." Rose tells Xavier "I've been keeping up with things. Same for Tenny." Xavier looks at Rose, and pulls out a checkbook, as Rose quickly tells him "Xavier there's no need to pay me. Just being around Tenny is enough for me." Rose's phone rings, as she says "There's the wild woman now." Rose leaves, as Xavier smiles for a moment, and has a thought.

      At Lord Incorporated, Rachel walks into her office, as Roger sits inside, and asks Rachel "So hear the gossip from Ryan's little mole that is our mole?" Rachel is quiet, as Roger laughs "Rumor has it Tenny Sullivan is haunting Hell Hill. I remember she was from Blue Ridge and in that book.." Rachel rolls her eyes with disgust, as she says with sincere regret "The worst thing I took part in ever." Roger tells Rachel "Could she'd faked her death, but she's old now so it's really unbelievable." Rachel tells him "Well I think we should just ignore it and make The Gossiper a classier publication, and our other ventures in directions that isn't following Ryan or similar. He's really going to mess up." Roger quips "Heard who his landlord is now?" Rachel shakes her head, as Roger laughs "Nathan James. His former building when he had his record label here. And damn if he's got rumors flying all around." Rachel goes "Well we will focus on our area and enjoy watching Ryan fall on his ass." Roger and Rachel kiss, as they begin to take off each other's clothes.

     At Chase Media, Ryan sits inside the lounge, as he talks to Leigh on the phone, as Leigh drives to Hell Hill, and tells him "I know how X works. And they all want me gone. They're going to kill me doing this, but its worth it." Ryan tells her "Text if there's trouble." Ryan hangs up, as Jo walks inside, and Ryan rolls his eyes, as Jo looks around, and tells her Son "Looks very boring in here. And did I hear you're trying to spy on Hell Hill? Do you wish to die Ryan!" Ryan yells at her Mother "I want to expose Xavier, and now Leigh works for me and I think I love her.." Jo backs up, and goes slowly, and in a disgusted tone "You are joking? That's low." Ryan yells "What Aaron did to Ava happened a long time ago Mom so move on!!" Jo slaps her Son, and warns "I was involved because that was my trial! B.R. paid off the ALPD and he got off. He deserves to die and I hope someone kills him and gets away clean! If I was the judge, I'd definitely do it!" Ryan yells at his Mother forcefully "Leave and come back when you change your views and approve of me. I'm not my Brother!" Jo goes "Well at least he didn't sell his soul for success. He truly is Chase's Son. You need to change or you'll lose everything." Jo leaves, as Ryan makes a phone call.

     Back at City Hospital, Terrance walks into Barbara's office, as Keisha's inside and asks him "Where's Olivia?" I called her and no answer." Ginny walks inside, as she asks the same thing and Barbara looks at them and goes "I'm so pissed right now I don't want to think of anything but a way to never see Angelica Hale again!" In Wade's room on the private floor, Angelica sits at her Grandson's bedside, as she tells him as he sleeps "Bridget left you. She chose Jared over you and even is carrying his child." Wade's eyes open, as he turns to his Grandmother, and goes "What in the hell did you just say?" Angelica holds his hand, and gently tells him "Rest. It'll all be well." Meanwhile at HaleCorp, Bridget walks inside Jared's office in tears, as she cries "My Brother is being tortured again and I learned something that I can't reveal, but your Grandmother...." Jared takes a deep breath, as he gets angry, and asks "So now you're going to do it aren't you?" Bridget cries "I've had it Jared! Can't take this place, and our child will be safe in Sugar Creek and we'll always.." Jared gets emotional, as he tells her "I am in love with you Bridget.." Bridget looks at Jared, and wipes his tears, as she tells him "I'm going to divorce Wade and save my Brother and you're always welcomed in Sugar Creek." Jared asks "Is this goodbye?" Bridget tries to contain her composure, as she cries "For now. Thank you for giving me what I needed in this hell." Bridget runs out in tears, as Jared sits down, and cries, as he goes "Damn you Wade! And you'll regret this Grandmother. I'm going to show you some things you never saw coming!" Jared heads to City Hospital.

     At FJR, Jack and J.J. has left, and Frank sits inside the shop, as Cale looks at his Father, and asks him "When Wade's well, I'm also going to talk to him about sponsorship if Xavier happens to be interested in The Stock Car League." Frank warns his Son "Cale are you wanting to start some damn shit? I know the two of you are related, but I don't like the bastard."  Cale tells Frank "Dad, I don't like that woman either. She's really shady as hell!" At The Farm, Randi walks around, as she snoops, and comes across his safe, and her eyes widen, as she has a thought, and says to herself "If I stay here I'm set for life!"

    At Jackson Inc., Xavier sits inside his office, as Jack tells his Uncle of the news he learned from Cale, as Xavier asks "And just exactly why do I want to waste your legacy on a dying pastime? And also, if Frank wasn't in it, I wouldn't waste my money on it now." Jack tells him "Sully told me you keep up with it and spoke of buying it." Xavier is silent for a moment, as he tells his Nephew "Go see what it's worth, and then come back to me and we'll look at it again." Jack walks out, as Xavier reads the info Brock gave him on HaleCorp, as Bobby walks inside, and tells Xavier "Everything's ok back at the creek." Xavier goes "Good. And did you see who returned?" Bobby answers "Yes. And it's a hot rumor so be careful." Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Beth greets Sully, Gracie, and Ruthie, and asks her Granddaughters and Great-Granddaughter "So ready for the stories that can't be made up?" taking a deep breath, and with tears of joy, as Sully, Gracie, and Ruthie all nod in excitement, as Tenny walks out of Xavier's Study, as Sully, Gracie, and Ruthie embrace her with tears, and they hug, as Tenny looks at Gracie, and goes "You have a glow." Sully looks at her Sister, as Beth looks at her Granddaughter, as Beth asks "And what could your Gran mean by that Gracie?" Gracie is silent, as Tenny tells Sully "My sweet Granddaughter. I'm so proud of you, and glad you're following J.D. and Xavier's footsteps." Sully tells her Great-Grandmother "I've missed you so much. Why did you do this?" Tenny gently goes "I had no choice and you will know more when you need to." Ruthie is silent, as Tenny quips to her Great-Great Granddaughter "I hear we have a similar interest, and you have my eyes." Ruthie is quiet, with stars in her eyes, as she pulls a blunt from her pocket, and Tenny tells everyone "I last seen my little twin when she was a baby. Time to corrupt her and shut up Sully!" Tenny and Ruthie heads out onto the back porch, as Sully laughs "This is great! At least something good has finally happened to our family since Mom's showed how much she gives a shit." Gracie adds "Gran rocks, but she sure is straight to the point." Beth asks her Granddaughter "So wanna give some more insight, because My Mama has a sixth sense about pregnancies. I recall her predicting Xavier." Sully looks at her Sister, as Gracie's quiet.

    Down the hill in The Storm Shelter, Ava has walked inside, as Henry and Country stands inside, as Aaron holds his head, and looks at Ava silently, as they silently glare at each other, Henry and Country has the safety off of their rifles, as Ava asks Aaron "So who sent you here and how do you want to do this?" Aaron looks at Ava, and laughs "Wanna let me see our Son? You remember, MY Son. Not the rich old man in Valley Ridge." Ava looks over at Country, as she tells the man who raped her over 30 years earlier "You will never know him." Aaron goes in a sick tone "I know his Son is a weirdo. An oddity like you." Country motions to Henry silently, as they put down their rifles, and silently sneak behind Aaron, as he adds "Hell all you did was cheat on Russell Marx with me. You aren't perfect. And I'm watching Ruthie.." Henry and Country begin to beat Aaron as he yells "Help! I'm innocent!" Ava pulls out her pistol, and tells Aaron "And you are so full of shit. Tell Junior I hope he's enjoying the barbecue in hell!" Outside, Leigh arrives with her phone, as she texts Ryan, as he sits at The Sunset Club, and goes "My family's here, and some action at the creek. I'm going live." Ryan tells her "Ok. We're set!" Leigh turns her camera on, and records, as she walks towards The Storm Shelter, as she hears Aaron scream "STOP!!" Leigh runs, and rushes inside, as Henry and Country, kick Aaron, who's laying in a fetal position, and Ava aims her pistol at Leigh, and goes "Any last words before we finish him off?"

      As evening has arrived in Adam's Landing, at City Hospital, Beth, Terrance, and Barbara are in the OR, as they operate on Wade, removing the bullets, as Beth tells them "One is risky." Barbara asks Beth "Well what should we do?" Beth looks at Terrance, as he tells them "Well he could live. If we move it, just one mistake could kill him and we know his Grandmother." Barbara is silent, as she has a flashback, and her eyes turn red, as she quickly tells them "Let's finish this up." In the Waiting Area, Bridget sits inside, as Angelica returns, and coldly goes "So you are now playing the loyal Wife?" Bridget yells at Angelica "I'm his Wife, and I'm going to be here for him whether you like it or not!" Angelica asks "And what about our deal?" Bridget responds in a stern tone "And you can take that deal and take it to hell with you! This child won't be around you." Angelica laughs "I hear Logan's doing great in school." Bridget grows angry, as Angelica adds "I think he needs to be with me so I can teach him about his family. He will be a true Hale." Bridget gets up, as she tells Wade's Grandmother "I'm going now, and I really wish it was you in the OR instead." Angelica warns Bridget "Keep up the shit and it'll be you in the OR, with a DNR on your wrist!" Bridget leaves, as Angelica makes a phone call.

      At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Ciarra stands at the door, as Rose Sullivan stands on the other end, and quips "Why long time no see Ciarra. Still hate me?" Ciarra sighs with sadness "Not really. Seeing you makes me think of Tennessee." Rose is quiet, as she pulls out her phone and checks messages, as Ciarra asks "What's brought you back?" Rose tells Ciarra, in a distant tone "I'm traveling through. A.J.'s in Private School, and I'm sure you know I divorced Nathan." Ciarra nods, as she goes "I heard. He's going down a rough road." Rose agrees, as she tells Ciarra "I have enough on my plate besides babysitting him." At Hell Hill, Ava walks inside, as Brock runs downstairs, as he stops as Ava asks her Nephew "Do I smell perfume?

Brock nods, as the woman tells him "I'm ready to show my face." Downstairs, Ava walks into Xavier's study, as Xavier reads over the divorce papers, as Ava asks her Brother "So who's upstairs? I recognize that perfume.." Xavier sighs "Sis, I can't say. But you'll know soon. Don't worry. It's not Jamie." Ava quips "Well I figured that." Ava asks Xavier "So wanna watch some TV?" Xavier gets up, as he goes "Why not?" Ava grins as they walk into the living room, as they turn on the TV, and opens a bottle of liquor.

     At Sully's Mansion, Sully returns home, as Henry and Ruthie sits inside as Sully asks her Daughter "So I see the two of you have finally gotten close." Ruthie tells her Mother "We have Mom. We were discussing his exciting day kicking Ryan's ass out." Sully laughs, as she smiles "That was sweet. Now where's the old bitch?" Henry asks Sully "Are you talking about my Mama?" Sully nods, as Henry tells her "Oh she's out tonight. She went down to The Holiday Hotel and renting a room. I told her to leave." Sully thanks Henry, and tells her Boyfriend and Daughter "I'm heading upstairs now, and by the way, I smell an aroma in here so I know why the two of you have bonded." Ruthie rolls her eyes, as Sully tells her Daughter "I'd rather you smoke weed than to drink. So no need to hide it." Sully heads upstairs, as Henry and Ruthie walks outside, as he lights a joint, and pulls one out for Ruthie, and tells her "See I told you she would understand." Ruthie quips "My Mom seems happy we've bonded." Henry assures Ruthie "Well, I am always here for you Ruthie. So always know that." Ruthie hugs Henry, as they smoke.

     At Class, Gracie and Will sits inside Gracie's office, as she looks at Will, as she yells with excitement "Finally! We've fixed everything and now we can get this store on track again. Bridget really didn't know much on managing a department store." Will reminds Gracie "Well doesn't her Mother run a store called Hillard's?" Gracie nods, and laughs "Check the sales report? They are struggling." Will looks at Gracie, and asks her "So since we're finished, wanna check out my new place?" Gracie nods, as they head out.

    At Bree's Mansion, Bree and Paul returns home, as Paul asks Bree "So have you heard from your Dad?" Bree goes "He's not answering the phone. He said he was going to rest." Paul quips "Well Bree, he might have been called to handle business for Xavier or Ava." Bree takes a deep breath, as she tells him "Aunt Ava has been hellbent on killing Aaron since she now knows." Paul adds "And we know what normally happens.." Bree rolls her eyes as she says to him with a tone of dread "Dad's likely doing some work for her." At The Holiday Hotel, Country is inside, as he is disguised, and looks over at the bar, as he sees Aaron and Leigh sitting at a table, and walks into to the back room, where he picks up the gas cans, and makes a phone call, as Ava answers and asks "Who's there?" Country answers "Um, Aaron and Leigh are drinking and planning something. I've been spying."

    Meanwhile at The Evans Home, Willie, Aretha, Javon, Keisha, Rachel, and Roger sits at the table, as Willie looks at Rachel, and tells her "I can't believe you've changed your ways. I like you now." Roger quips "Mrs. Evans she has what she needs now. And she just needed to meet me." Laughter erupts around the room, as Aretha asks Rachel "So heard where Ryan's going to move since Xavier's evicted him?" Rachel answers "He's renting out the old warehouse downtown. My source said." Willie changes subjects, and turns to her Grandson, as she asks Javon and Keisha "So set a date yet? We need to start planning this wedding soon and we can start inviting people. Eve told me she'd sing at the wedding and I miss seeing Clem." Keisha looks at Javon, as he tells his family "We're going to tie the knot in a few days and with that being said, let's have dinner because I am starved!" Willie smiles, as she hands Javon a letter, as he cries, and goes "Well it's official. I'm now Javon Evans!" Aretha and Willie tells Javon "Yes you are and you make us very proud." Willie says a prayer and they then feast on the meal Willie's cooked.

    At Olivia's Home, Cale, Allison, and Ginny arrive, as Olivia sits in the living room, and holds a photo of Allan, as Cale asks his Mother In Law "So why didn't you help with Wade's operation?" Allison is also concerned, as she asks her Mother "You are acting odd Mom." Ginny is quiet, as Olivia tells her Daughter and Son In Law "I would've messed up if I helped." Allison rolls her eyes, and goes "Mom you are the best Doctor around and what's going on?" Olivia quickly goes "Nothing Ally. I am fine. Just fine." Ginny motions her Father to the kitchen, as Allison looks at her Mother, and asks "Ok, you have been back and forth and I spoke to Grandpa and he.." Olivia takes a deep breath, and asks "And what did my Daddy say?" Allison tells her Mother "He said you've been hiding your hand and seen a specialist there. So what are you hiding?" Olivia looks at her Daughter, and distantly answers "Nothing. If something was wrong I'd tell you." In the kitchen, Ginny tells her Father of her concerns, as she tells her Father "Grandma didn't do much in the pediatrics. When the nurses came in to see this patient, she just let the nurse do the work while she monitored and made me do the other stuff that's involved. Said it'd be beneficial in the future." Cale asks his Daughter "Did she say why?" Ginny answers "No. Said she was just fine. But as I said a few moments ago, she's hiding something Dad." In the living room, Allison asks her Mother "Let me see your right hand." Olivia yells "NO! Damnit Ally I am fine! I can still work, and I'm not an old woman!" Allison gently goes "I'm just worried about you Mom. I love you." Olivia tells Allison, as Cale and Ginny walks back in the living room "All of you need to go home. I need to rest. Going in early tomorrow." Cale, Allison, and Ginny heads home, as Olivia watches, and as they leave, she pulls out an envelope, and reads it, as she cries, and holds her right hand, as it shakes.

     Back at City Hospital, inside the ICU waiting area, Angelica sits, as Bridget sits across from her, as she reads her phone, as Angelica snarks "Talking to my other Grandson who's child you are carrying?" Bridget's eyes gets emotional, as she yells "Talking to my family back home you evil bitch! And from what I'm seeing, you may just win." Angelica asks "What's wrong? I know you have a weird Brother that's odd. I'd killed him if he was my Son." Bridget gets up, as she tells Angelica "I'm leaving, and Wade's now free to see whoever he wants." Bridget leaves, as she sends a text to Jared. In the OR, Beth, Terrance, and Barbara finish the surgery, as Terrance tells them "Well he's fixed up and well." Beth sighs "I wish I could have just killed him. Such a piece of shit." Barbara tells Beth "We're doctors and sometimes we save people we would prefer not to, but it's our oath and duty." Beth tells them "I'm going to check on my Son, and you two can figure out who goes out there to tell Angelica." Barbara goes "I will." Beth warns "Think that's wise?" Barbara quickly answers with anger "I've waited for this for too damn long." Barbara walks out, as Terrance follows, as the nurses takes Wade back to his room. Beth meanwhile heads to Hell Hill. In the ICU waiting area, the door opens, as Barbara walks out, as Angelica snarls "You deserve death!" Barbara looks over at Terrance, as he walks out, and Barbara angrily tells Angelica "Wade will make a full recovery. And I never want to see your face again you evil bitch!" Angelica yells "You slept with Winston the entire time we were married!" Barbara yells back "Because he wanted someone that wasn't a sick twisted bitch like you that got enjoyment from her own family's suffering. He could've survived if not for you swooping him to South America!" Angelica walks up to Barbara, and snarls "I didn't want you to save him. That was my job to do. Now I'm going to see Wade, and don't cross me again you whore." Barbara slaps Angelica, and warns her "You are one delusional old bitch Angelica. And I loved Winston more than you ever could. You just hurt him. Burn in hell!" Barbara walks out, as she leaves. Angelica heads to Wade's room, with red in her eyes.

     At The Holiday Hotel, Country continues to watch Aaron and Leigh, as the bartender tells him "Ok, just did as you asked." Country asks "Aaron's drink. I've changed plans." At Leigh and Aaron's table, Leigh tells Aaron "I'm heading upstairs. I'll be waiting sexy man." Aaron yawns, as he goes "I'll be up shortly." At Frank's table, Frank and Randi finish dinner, as Randi tells Frank "I enjoyed this meal. Wanna go back to your place?" Frank looks at Randi, and asks "Don't you have a suite?" Randi nods, as they head to the elevator, as Leigh is there, as she rolls her eyes, as Frank looks at Leigh and tells her "You made a mistake screwing Aaron Pittman." Leigh coldly goes "And you are the king of mistakes you piece of shit. And I'm sure Beth would love to know you're with that sorry bastard Henry Jennings conniving Mother." Randi looks at Leigh, and snaps "At least I'm not sleeping with a rapist, and my Son is a good person." Leigh asks "And your other kids?" Randi rolls her eyes, as the elevator stops, and Leigh gets off, and leaves, as Randi looks at Frank, as he goes "She doesn't want to mess with my family. I know that much." Back in the bar, Aaron begins to get sleepy, as Country, dressed up and wearing a wig, tells the bartender "He's my Brother. I'm taking him home to sober up." The bartender answers "He lives here." Country answers "He has some people waiting to see him. Family reunion." Aaron goes asleep, as Country walks over and picks him up and carries him out, as he whispers "It's about over for you now you sick son of a bitch."

     As night has fallen upon Adam's Landing, at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Ciarra and Rose sits in the living room, as Rose tells Ciarra "Tenny was my best friend. I really loved her." Ciarra holds Rose's hand, and tells her "Thank you for taking care of her. I just used to worry about people taking advantage of her." Rose looks at Ciarra, and tells her "I'd killed anyone who would've tried to. She was my family." Ciarra hugs Rose, and tells her "Well you are now our family. So stay here with us tonight. I'm sure Precious would be ok with that." Rose gasps "He's still alive?" Ciarra laughs "Oh yes! And we treat him just like Tennessee would have. He stays in her room a lot. But go in there and rest. I'm calling it a night." Rose goes "But.." Ciarra stops Rose, and sternly tells her "Anyone Tennessee loved is always welcomed here, and she would want you to stay." Rose and Ciarra hug, as Rose walks into Tenny's former bedroom, and Precious looks at Rose, and runs to her, as Rose hugs him, as he licks her face and she quips "You are a big baby that just looks mean." Rose lays down, as Precious lays next to her, and smells her, and cries, as Rose whispers "I have a surprise for you when I find her."

    At Cale and Allison's Home, Cale, Allison, and Ginny walks inside as Allison tells her family "Something is off with Mom." Ginny tells her Mother "Something isn't right and I wish I knew what was going on." Cale tells his Wife and Daughter "Well I'm heading to bed. Tomorrow I talk to Jack about some extra sponsorship for FJR." Cale calls it a night, as Ginny asks her Mother "So what did Grandpa say?" Allison looks at her Daughter, and tells her "He doesn't know either Ginny. But I'm going to get an answer. And that's a promise!" At Olivia's Home, Olivia sits at the kitchen table, as she rolls a joint, and she struggles as she tries to slowly roll it and messes up. Olivia gets angry, as she throws the paper across the kitchen, as she sighs with sadness "It's all over. Why did this happen to me? WHY?" Olivia puts her head on the table as she cries, as her right hand shakes uncontrollably.

    At The Landing Lofts, Will, Gracie, and Brock are inside his new loft, as Gracie and Brock looks around in awe, as Will jokes "I need a decorator." Gracie kisses Will, and tells him "Well I think I can handle that. I know some connections." Brock walks around, as he goes "I want a loft too. Can I room with you Will?" Gracie looks at her Brother, and smiles "Go check on our Daddy. Time for Will and I to celebrate." Brock heads back to Hell Hill, as he says under his breath "I know how the two of you are going to celebrate. Now it's my turn." Back at Hell Hill, Xavier and Ava stands inside the Storm Shelter, as Country arrives, and drags Aaron inside, as he tells them "Well I didn't burn down the place, but thought this would be better." Xavier laughs "Spiked his drink?" Country quips "Oh hell yes X! Within two drinks his ass was out!" Ava asks "And Leigh?" Xavier tells his Sister "Well Sis, she won't know where he went after we're finished with him." Up the hill, Beth arrives at Hell Hill, as she walks inside, and yells "I thought I told you to lock the doors Son!' Upstairs, the woman hears Beth, and walks out of the guest room, as she gets on the elevator. Beth looks at the elevator come down, as it opens, and Beth steps back, and her jaw drops in shock, as Tenny Sullivan walks over to Beth, and goes "I'm home my sweet Beth!" Beth slowly approaches her Mother, and Tenny quips "No you aren't seeing ghosts. It's me sweet girl. Mama's back!" Tears flow from Beth's eyes, as they embrace in a hug, and Beth tells her Mother "Welcome home Mama." Tenny answers "Blue Ridge is home, but my heart is here with my family." Both cry as they hold onto each other, as they have a tearful and beautiful reunion.

At City Hospital, Wade is in the ICU, as he's unresponsive, and Angelica stands by her Grandson's bedside, as Olivia walks inside, with Terrance as they tell Angelica "Those bullets were meant to kill him, and we're going to have to perform surgery to save him." Angelica motions Terrance and Olivia outside, as she boldly goes "If he dies, then I'll kill one of yours. Just make that a promise!" Angelica walks inside, as Terrance looks at Olivia, as they look inside the room, as Olivia tells Terrance "Something isn't adding up here." Terrance quips "With her as a Grandmother, I wouldn't be surprised if she did it." Terrance and Olivia head to his office. Back inside Wade's room, Angelica looks at her Grandson, as tears start to fall, and she kisses him on his forehead, and assures him "I'll make whoever did this to you pay with their life Wade."

     At The Holiday Hotel, Jared and Bridget has breakfast, as Jared asks Bridget "How are you?" Bridget sighs with disgust "Well Jared, I have to see your Ex-Wife today, and Wade's fighting for his life." Jared is silent, as Bridget asks Jared "Who would have shot him?" Jared answers "I wouldn't put anything past his Grandmother." Bridget nods in agreement, and adds "What about Sully's Brother." Jared takes a deep breath, as he tells her "After Xavier got what Brock discovered, there's no telling who shot him." Bridget's phone rings, as she sighs "Well off to Jackson Inc I go to meet Sully." Jared hugs Bridget, and kisses her, and tells her "If you're fired, you can work at HaleCorp." Bridget looks at Jared, as she strokes his cheek, and sigh with sadness "If she fires me, then I'm returning home to Sugar Creek." Bridget heads to Jackson Inc, as Jared sits back down, and takes a deep breath, before getting up to head to HaleCorp.

    At Hell Hill, Beth arrives, as Xavier sits inside the living room, and Beth asks her Son "Did you shoot Wade? My phone's blowing up from the Hospital." Xavier looks at his Mother, and answers "No I didn't. But the bastard had it coming to him." Beth asks "What was he plotting against Jackson Inc?" Xavier answers "He wanted to help turn Brock against me Mother, and then wanted to go after Jim's. And that's not happening." Beth exclaims loudly "Damn right he ain't taking shit that belonged to my family!" Beth's phone rings again, as she sighs "Shit, it's the Hospital. Better go down there and help them figure out what to do with Wade." Beth hugs her Son, and asks him "Are you alright baby?" Xavier hugs his Mother, and goes "Once I finalize this divorce, then I'll be doing much better. And Bobby's coming by so we can finish getting this divorce underway and then I'll be free at last!" Beth sighs "It's a shame she hurt you like this, and with Aaron Pittman." Beth leaves, as Xavier yells "Coast clear.", as someone comes down the elevator, and sighs "Close one." Xavier looks at the person, and sighs "Well sooner or later you'll have to show your face." She sighs, as she tells him "I miss my baby. And my family, well what's left of it." Xavier gives her a hug, as he tells her "I'm so happy you're back!" She responds "Once I reveal myself, you might be the only one."

    At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside Xavier's office, as Will stands inside, and Sully asks him "So wanna work for Jackson Inc?" Will tells Sully "It'd be an honor to work here. I love the company, and highly respect your family. Reading those stories on how they helped save the town from going bankrupt, to Mr. Jackson's love for all of you." Sully smiles "My Daddy is a very good man, but don't ever cross him or you could end up dead!" Will asks "So after our meeting am I hired?" Sully nods, and tells Will "I want you to meet my Daddy. Go to his home on the old highway, he's to the left after crossing the creek." Will grins with pride, as he tells Sully "It's an honor to work for Jackson Inc." Sully asks Will "So you used to be Ryan's assistant?" Will goes "Unfortunately." Sully tells him "Daddy needs an assistant. I think if he had someone to help him, he could focus on the divorce." Will checks his phone, and tells Sully "I'll head out there and meet him." Sully tells Will "I'll text him and let him know." Will leaves, as Sully makes a phone call, and goes "Tell the staff they're getting a new manager after Bridget arrives.

    Meanwhile at the ALPD, Bree, Paul, and Bobby are inside, as Bobby tells them "The only leads on who shot Wade are Brock, Xavier, Ava, Country, Henry Jennings." Bree reminds them "What about Angelica the witch of death?" Paul agrees, but Bobby reminds them "That's Angelica's favorite of her Grandchildren. She'd kill Jared before trying to kill Wade." There's a knock at the door, as Bree answers, as Cale stands on the other side, and asks his Cousin "So have y'all figured out who shot him yet?" Bree asks Cale "Why are you worried about Wade?" Cale answers "We're related, and it was completely unexpected." Bobby sighs "Well with what he was planning, and once Brock gave the info to Xavier.." Bree goes "I think Brock shot him." Paul looks at his Father, as Bobby tells them "I need to visit Xavier to finish up the divorce and then we'll figure this all out." Bobby leaves, as Bree looks at Paul, as he holds her hand, and tells her "This isn't looking good Bree." Bree agrees, as she shakes her head with doubt.

    At Chantel's, Leigh and Ryan sits at a table, as Ryan tells Leigh "I followed your advice and I haven't moved out yet." Leigh smiles, and tells Ryan "Don't worry about X. It won't be his much longer." Aaron walks inside, as he and Leigh kiss, and Ryan gets a phone call, and screams "WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING??!!" Ryan rushes out, as Leigh looks at Aaron, as he tells Leigh "Looks like somebody threw him out of the building." Unknown to them, Ava sits at the bar, as she orders a glass of whiskey, and looks at Leigh and Aaron, and says to herself "The two of you are about to pay and I mean pay." Ava takes a drink, as she watches her Sister-In-Law, and Aaron sit together, as Ava snarls to herself "I don't think this will end well for either of you." Back at Leigh and Aaron's table, Aaron tells Leigh "I've got a free suite at The Holiday Hotel now so we don't have to pay. Well I do manage the place." Leigh smiles, and tells Aaron "Anything positive you achieve won't impress anybody Aaron. The town hates you, and my children now hate me." Aaron asks Leigh "And do you really care?" Leigh sighs, and answers "Not really. If they can't accept this, then screw them!" Over at the bar, Ava makes a phone call. At Bree's Mansion, Country sits back and drinks a bottle of liquor, as he answers, and Ava boldly tells Country "My place. In 10-15 minutes. And bring some cans with you."

     Back at City Hospital, Beth has arrived, as Barbara bumps into her, as she asks Beth "So are you taking care of Wade?" Beth snaps at Barbara "Why can't you remove the bullets." Barbara tells Beth "With the angel of hell in there I'll pass." Barbara quickly head back to the Reasearch Center, as Beth is silent, and goes "Ahh. Now I know." Inside the ICU, Angelica sits by Wade's bedside, as she tells her Grandson, who's in a coma awaiting surgery "Nobody has come to visit. Not even Bridget. I think she did this. She wanted you out of the way to get to Jared." The door opens, as Beth walks inside, along with Terrance and Olivia, as Beth sighs with disdain "So waiting for him to die?" Angelica's eyes widen, as she asks Beth "I thought we made peace?" Beth snaps "Your family has hurt my Mother many times while she was alive. I don't forgive that." Angelica answers "Well I've changed Beth." Beth looks at Terrance and Olivia, as they check Wade's vitals, and Beth sends a text to the OR, as she goes "Surgery ASAP." Olivia looks at Beth, and goes "Beth I haven't performed much surgery lately." Beth assures her Sister In Law "I'll handle that with Terrance." Angelica walks up and thanks Beth, Terrance, and Olivia, and warns them "If I see Babs in here, she's dead. She slept with my Winston for many years." Beth responds with a warning "And if you hurt Dr. Arp, or my family again, you'll be answering to me. Now it's time to prep Wade for surgery."

     At Hell Hill, Brock arrives, as he yells "Dad!" Upstairs, the woman hears his voice, as she walks out of a bedroom, and walks downstairs slowly, as she goes "He's not home." Brock yells "Who are you?" The woman walks downstairs, as Brock gasps "Are you who I..." The woman puts her finger on his lips, and warns him "Don't tell anyone." Xavier walks out of the study, as Brock is stunned, and goes "Dad is she..." Xavier nods, and tells his Son "You aren't seeing things." Brock tells his Father "I am scared." Xavier asks "Why are you scared?" Brock sits next to his Father, as the woman stands on the stairway and watches, as he tells him "I am scared if Wade dies, then Angelica will come for me." Xavier hugs his Son, and asks him "Did you shoot him?" Brock responds "No I didn't though I planned to. Looks like someone beat me to it." Xavier is silent, as he tells Brock "Go upstairs and meet your Great Grandmother and remember, not a damn word to anyone!" Brock nods, as he heads upstairs. Meanwhile there's a knock at the door, as Xavier answers, and Bobby stands on the other end, as he walks inside, holding some files, and asks "Well ready to finalize this?" Xavier pulls out his pen, as they head to the study.

     At Jackson Inc., Sully sits inside her Father's office, as Bridget walks inside, and snarks "Too good to meet me at the store Daddy gave you?" Sully boldly tells Bridget "This isn't Sugar Creek bitch. And Aretha paid me a visit to tell me of what happened the day before at Class." Bridget yells "Damnit Sully you have a bounty on me don't you." Sully gets up, and yells back "Willie Evans owns a stake in Class, and I am sickened to know you sided with that old withered whore Randi..." Bridget shrugs "Well you hired her. And maybe you need to inform Ruthie that she should do her job better.."
Sully sits back, and takes a deep breath, and asks Bridget "Remember when I cut your face with my razor? Well I've graduated." Bridget laughs "Trying to be like Daddy..." Sully warns Bridget "You have treaded on a tightrope, and then bragging to Ruthie about your pregnancy with Jared is too much. And I'm tired of you disrespecting and really, bullying my Daughter!" Bridget asks in a sarcastic tone "And want me to play Mommy..." Sully slaps Bridget, and goes "You're fired and I'll have your things sent to you. Go down there again, and you'll be in jail." Bridget gets up, and warns Sully "This isn't over. It's apparent you don't know how to run a business." Sully responds, telling her "And apparently you have a Brother complex. Now get out of here before I call in security!" Bridget walks out, as Sully calls Class, as Gracie answers, as she's now running her Sister's store, as Sully tells Gracie "Bridget is fired. And if she shows up, then call security." Gracie, on the sales floor, goes "I'll just take care of her myself Sully." Sully hangs up, as she says to herself "I sure hope she can find work in Adam's Landing now. Because I won't write the bitch a nice reference."

    At HaleCorp, Jared arrives, as Rachel sits in the lobby and Jared snaps "He's been shot Rachel! He may die." Rachel's eyes widen, as she asks Jared "Any idea who shot Wade?" Jared angrily answers "I have some suspects, but I won't tell you shit now go screw old man Roger and get lost!" Rachel heads to the door, and smiles "Oh, congratulations on you knocking up Bridget. Best hope Wade doesn't find out. I know how he is." Rachel leaves. Back at City Hospital, Cale walks back into the ICU, as Angelica sits outside, and tells him coldly "Go back home. He's a Hale. Not trash like you." Cale's eyes turn red, and he warns her "Look, I know how you work and what you've done. I hope you didn't shoot my Cousin, because it'll be you that'll regret it!" Inside Wade's room in the ICU, Wade is being prepped for surgery, as Beth, Terrance, and Olivia are inside, and Barbara returns and tell them "Room available." Beth looks at everyone, and tells them "Let's get this finished. He should make a full recovery." Olivia takes a deep breath, as she tells them "I am going to check on Ginny at the pediatric unit." Barbara asks Olivia "Well aren't you going to help! You are a Doctor and.." Olivia warns Barbara "I said I'm going to help my Granddaughter, because I can't do it! Now leave me alone about it!" Beth and Terrance are silent, as Barbara asks Olivia "Are you ok? Your writing has been unreadable, and..." Olivia rolls her eyes, and tells Beth "I'm going to check on Ginny. Now if you all excuse me!" Olivia storms out, as Beth turns to Barbara, and asks "What's going on between the two of you because I sense some tension." Barbara tells Beth and Terrance her thoughts, as the nurses arrive to take Wade to the OR, as Beth warns Barbara, as does Terrance "Olivia isn't going to admit nothing. She is very dedicated to her work, and a fine Doctor." In the hallway, Olivia heads to the pediatric unit, and she puts her right hand in her pocket, as she has a thought, and has defeat in her eyes.

    At Chase Media, Ryan screams, as Henry stands around, with his rifle in hand, as movers are packing up things, as Ryan yells "Stop! This is MINE!" Henry drinks a shot bottle of liquor, and aims his rifle at Ryan, and laughs "No you son of a bitch, this is Xavier's!" Ryan boldly asks Henry "Tell these thugs to unpack now!" Henry asks Ryan "Or what?" Ryan answers "I'll kick your ass!" Henry laughs, as he puts his rifle down, and delivers a right hook, as Ryan falls to the floor, and yells angrily "You will regret this. Leigh hates you!" Henry bends down, as he slowly tells him "Feeling is mutual. Now you need to leave before I make a call to your soon to be former landlord." Ryan yells at the movers "Break anything and you will lose and lose bad!" Ryan storms out, as Henry follows, and warns Ryan "Don't come back. Next time you'll be meeting Xavier!"

    At Hell Hill, Xavier and Bobby are inside the study, as they finish things up, as Xavier asks Bobby "What's the odds she might win?" Bobby tells Xavier "Jo will be covering things. Done took care of that so don't you worry." Xavier smiles, as Bobby asks "So who's upstairs?" Upstairs, Brock sits inside his old bedroom, as he and the woman talk, as she tells Brock "I hate your name Brock. Reminds me of your Uncle that Xavier killed over your Mother." Brock tells his Great-Grandmother "I wanted to be my own man Grandma." The woman warns him "Only Xavier's allowed to call me Grandma. You call me Gran." Brock asks the woman "So when are you going to come out in the open?" The woman quips "When I am ready. I am missing my baby, so likely very soon."

   Across the road at Whispering Hills, Ava's in the living room, as Country arrives, and tells her "I got the gas cans." Ava nods, and tells Country "Use the private entrance." Ava hands him a room number, and a card. At The Holiday Hotel, Leigh arrives at the bar, as she takes a pill, and Aaron walks out of his office, as he goes "Oh the love of my life! Why aren't you working?" Leigh sighs with disgust "Ryan's being forced to move. He's found a new place though." Aaron asks Leigh "Wanna go up to our suite and fool around?" Leigh agrees, as they kiss and head to the elevator, as they passionately kiss.

    At City Hospital, Wade is in the OR, as Beth, Terrance, and Barbara are inside, and Beth tells them "This one will be risky. One wrong move and he could die." In the ICU waiting area, Bridget arrives, as Angelica sits, and glares at her, and snarks "Came to see if he's gonna die?" Bridget gets emotional, as she tells her "I spoke to Dr. Sullivan and she told me his condition.." Angelica gets up, and walks up to Bridget, and coldly tells her "Wade is none of your concern you bed-hopping whore!" Bridget gets furious, and shrieks "If I wasn't pregnant I'd beat your ass you evil bitch!" Angelica warns "One wrong move, and when Wade wakes up, I'll let him know that bastard you're carrying isn't his. Does he know or have you been too busy sleeping with Jared?" Bridget slaps Angelica, as she grabs Bridget's wrist, and goes "When your child is born, it will be raised by me." Bridget snaps "The hell you will!" Angelica responds "I always win Bridget, so wanna make a deal?" Bridget shakes, as she grows scared. In the pediatric ward, Olivia sits in the nurses station, as Ginny asks her Grandmother "Why aren't you helping with Wade's surgery?" Olivia quickly answers "I'd rather be with you sweetie." Cale arrives, as Ginny hugs her Father, as he asks his Daughter and Mother In Law "Lunch?" Olivia answers "I'll stay here. The two of you go have some fun and I'll hold down things here." Cale and Ginny leave, as Olivia has a flashback, and starts to cry.

     At Class, Will walks inside, as Gracie asks him "How did you know I worked here?" Will laughs "I know because your Sister told me. I went by Hell Hill but nobody answered." Gracie asks "Wanna work here with me? I know you are a great leader, and it'll definitely impress Daddy." Will accepts, as they head to Gracie's new office, that was formerly Sully's, and once inside, they begin to undress, and lock the door behind them. At the ALPD, Bree and Paul sits around Bree's office, as she tells her fiancé "If one of my family is behind this, I'll just turn the other way. My family has had enough Paul." Paul agrees, as they kiss, and he tells Bree "Don't overdo it. Remember you are expecting." Bree smiles, as she goes "This child is the best thing to ever happen to me." Paul holds Bree's hand, as they look into each others eyes deeply. At Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Ciarra and Precious are inside the living room, as they watch soaps, as the doorbell rings. Ciarra tells Precious "When the stories are on you are a worthless attack dog." Precious stretches out on the couch, as he looks at her, and closes his eyes, as Ciarra walks to the door, and answers, as she gasps "What in the hell are you doing here?"

   

 

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 20. The New Scare

       At Jackson Inc., Sully sits inside Xavier's office, along with Gracie, as Jack walks inside and tells his Cousins "I think Mom and Uncle Xavier's visiting Ryan. Bree and I know they stayed together last night and knowing them.." Sully tells Jack "Stop being so damn overprotective over Aunt Ava." Gracie agrees, and adds "She's a lonely woman and she needs attention and to most importantly be with J.J.. Samantha needs to stop the shit." Jack warns Gracie "You are talking about my Wife, and on Aunt Beth's side, your distant cousin I think it is, well whatever. I'm going to work and pray my Mother doesn't lose her mind or see Aaron. One only knows when our parents do this and calls in Country and Henry." Jack heads to his office, as Sully looks at her Sister, and goes "Do you feel numb over all this happening right now? I do." Gracie nods in agreement, as they take a deep breath.

    Downstairs in the studio at Chase Media, Ryan warns Xavier, as his voice cracks with fear "This is highly unprofessional Xavier." Xavier snaps angrily "Bastard it's Mr. Jackson!" Leigh yells at her Husband "A new life X. Away from you finally." Xavier moves the aim of his Colt 45 to Ryan, as Ava keeps her pistol aimed at Leigh, and Henry and Country stands back, armed and ready, as Ava tells Ryan "We have a way of doing things umm, our way. And our friends we consider family, sweet Henry, and then the other one." Country rolls his eyes, as she tells them "Look over there at that equipment. It's in the Jackson Building. So it's ours." Ryan screams "What did you just say?" Ava turns to Ryan, and aims at him, and asks "Any other questions?", as Xavier also keeps his aim on Ryan, as Leigh tells Ryan "I'm sure there's other places." Ryan nods, as he then screams "WHAT??", as gunfire explodes cameras and equipment in the studio, as Henry and Country destroy the studio, that's empty with the machine guns, as Xavier and Ava puts their pistols down, and Xavier tells Ryan and Leigh "No more games now. Next time it's you. And Leigh, we're finished and hope this works out because you'll lose to me and don't forget that whore!" Xavier, Ava, Country, and Henry heads out, as Xavier yells "Better be out by tomorrow." As they leave, Ryan screams "Those crazy ass bastards!" Leigh tells him "They don't like the truth. Trust me I was married to X for a very long time. I mean soon to be was."

    At Chantel's, Jared meets with Ruthie, as she tells her Father "So wanted to see me instead of the boss this time huh?" Jared asks his Daughter "And what's wrong with spending time with me?" Ruthie snaps "One thing is you hurt my Mom. She has Henry, but I miss the two of you." Jared reminds her gently "It's not easy to make up after what occurred with us. Sully's not one to forgive easily." Ruthie tells her Father "At least get away from Bridget." Jared sighs with disgust "Ruthie, we have a past. Please understand," Ruthie rolls her eyes and orders a meal as does Jared. At HaleCorp, Rachel arrives, as Angelica sits inside the lobby, and welcomes her with a hug, as Rachel asks her "And what's the hug for?" Angelica tells Rachel "I wish you were Wade's new bride. I'm willing to pay you." Rachel is silent, as Wade walks into the lobby, and tells Rachel "Come in." Rachel walks inside, as Angelica follows, but Wade tells his Grandmother "Only us." and shuts the door. Angelica sits back down, and looks down at her purse, and heads to Class. Inside Wade's office, Rachel pulls out a small tape recorder, as she begins to interview Wade, as he reads the questions and answers them, as Rachel's silent, with a smile on her face.

    Meanwhile at Class, Randi sits at a register, as she says to herself "I'd rather be back at my mansion." Bridget walks over and asks Randi "So Ruthie went out I see?" Randi nods, as Bridget writes her up, and returns to her office, as Randi sits at the register, and plays with her phone. Willie and Aretha walks around the store, as Randi yells 'Shoplifters!", as Aretha holds onto her Mother, as Willie snaps "What did you just call us?" Randi goes "Well I thought you were thieves." Aretha asks Randi, trying to stay calm "Where is your manager." Randi quips "She stepped out." Willie heads to Bridget's office, as Aretha follows, and turns to Randi, and warns her "You messed up. Better learn who you're talking to girl." Inside Bridget's office, a salesperson is inside, and tells her "Randi has been rude to a number of patrons today." Bridget sit back, and quips "It's Ruthie Hale's job to train her. So look like I'll have to write her up." The door opens, as Willie walks inside as she yells angrily "It's 2018 and I will not put up with this racist shit from an old bitch like that new employee! Do I need to call Sully or Xavier? They'll fix this shit!" Aretha stands by her Mother, as Bridget tells them "Sully hired her." Aretha looks at her Mother, as Willie asks Bridget "And exactly what is your job?" Bridget snaps hatefully "Who are you to ask me that?" Aretha tells Bridget "We're passing our visit to Sully personally and we know how she'll deal with you." Aretha and Willie walks out, as Bridget rolls her eyes, and looks at her stomach, and smiles.

    At Lord Media, Rachel returns, as Roger awaits her, and asks "So what's plan B or C?" Rachel quips "Wade's telling it to Ryan. Too hot to touch." Roger reminds Rachel "If it's too hot, then why not take some of the wrath? That's what this is about." Rachel warns Roger "I am not going to cover anything on the Jackson family or anyone remotely connected. If I did that, then I'd be dead and I'm not ready to die or leave home again Roger Lord! You've been around long enough to know their power and influence they make well known." Roger nods, and quips "This will put a bullet in somebody. I don't see Xavier letting someone slide, as he reads Wade's transcript, and goes "Did you send this to Ryan?" Rachel nods, and smiles "Wade even agreed. But Ryan's already about to royally piss off the wrong ones in that family." Roger laughs, as he goes "We're about to be on top again. I need to start planning a bid for the newspaper." Rachel laughs, as they kiss, and Roger holds Rachel in his arms tightly, and goes "You're amazing Rachel." Rachel smiles, with happiness in her eyes.

    At Jackson Inc., Sully's inside Xavier's office, as her Father walks inside, and Sully hugs him, as Ava follows behind her Brother, and also hugs her Niece, as Sully asks them "And what happened downstairs? Heard some shots fired." Xavier tells his Daughter "Welcoming your Mother to Chase Media Princess. And evicting Ryan." Sully laughs "Is Mom still alive?" Xavier answers "Yes. Tomorrow that place better be empty or I'll clean it for him with my cleaning team." Ava quips "Ryan's a little whiny ass. He doesn't act like his Daddy or Mama at all." Sully goes "Well everything here is going smooth. So no need to worry and I guess the two of you are staying close to each other. Not sure if that's good or bad." Ava looks at her Brother, and smiles "Depends. We're kinda sobered now after all the noise." Xavier laughs, as does Sully. In Jack's office, Javon walks inside, as he tells Jack "Your Mom and Xavier's returned." Jack warns Javon "Now isn't a good time to make that proposal to him." Back inside Xavier's office, Xavier and Ava hug Sully, as Ava asks "Where's Gracie?" Sully tells them "She's meeting with some clients for me." They nod, as they head out, and in the lobby, Jack watches his Mom and Uncle leave, before walking into Xavier's office, and asks "And how were they? I heard the gunshots downstairs.." Sully goes "They were fine. They were acting like good adults. Didn't kill nobody, well yet." Jack sits down, as he takes a deep sigh of relief, as Sully opens a text, and her eyes turn red.

     At City Hospital, Willie walks inside her Son's office, as she fumes with anger, as Terrance walks inside and asks his Mother "Aretha filled me in on what happened. Just go work with the babies today, and you'll feel better. Aretha said she's going to speak to Sully." Willie sighs with disgust "She wanted to say something else I'm certain. I'm certain I'd told her ass where to go too." Terrance tells his Mother "You're getting a little feisty lately Mama." Willie looks at him, and smiles "The good things outshine the dark things. I love staying busy and doing my part. And proud of my family." Willie walks out, as Terrance sits, and grows silent, as he calls Class, and Randi answers, as Terrance asks "Is this Randi?" Randi goes "It is." Terrance warns "I'm Dr. Evans and if you ever disrespect my family again you'll deal with me and I'll make a phone call to someone you don't want to meet." Terrance hangs up. At Class, Randi looks behind her, as Ruthie snaps "Well looks like you're messing up badly. Wanna explain calling Aretha and Willie Evans shoplifters?" Randi snaps back coldly "Don't like them. Never will." Ruthie warns "Mom will deal with you over this, and may just want to pack your bags." Ruthie walks away, as Randi sits at the register, and grins, as she has a thought.

   Meanwhile at Class, inside Bridget's Office, Bridget walks around her office, as Angelica walks in, and Bridget yells to her secretary "Looks like you wanna be fired!" Angelica holds papers, and coldly goes "Bridget Walsh, the blue collar whore that has the Brother thingy going on it appears. Thank me later for getting your lab results." Bridget's eyes turn red, and she yells at Wade's Grandmother "How dare you do this you evil twisted bitch.." Angelica snaps "And you better behave and do as I say or Wade will know the hard way, he and all will know at the same time. Media war going on and money for me and the future of the bloodline you shall carry. Afterwards, the child will go with me and be taught correctly..." Bridget pulls out a knife, and warns Angelica "Don't even try. My family has connections too." Angelica laughs "Well I know my limits. And you don't push it whore or I'll make you pay, and destroy your life and enjoy your pain." Angelica walks out, as Bridget calls Jared, as he sits at HaleCorp, inside his office, as Bridget tells him "Angelica knows about our child." Jared screams "Damnit!", as Bridget tells him "Let's meet right now!" Jared agrees, as both hangs up, and head to The Holiday Hotel.

   At Chase Media, Leigh sits in the studio, as Ryan runs inside, and sighs with relief "At least they didn't destroy everything. Has Wade arrived?" Leigh answers "Nope. Not yet." Ryan rolls his eyes, and tells Leigh "This interview will be leverage on your Husband and his evil family." Leigh assures Ryan "Once this divorce is finalized and I get everything, wanna be CEO of Jackson Inc?" Ryan is quiet, as his eyes widen and a grin comes across his face. At The Sunset Club, Gracie sits at the bar, as Will sits next to her, and goes "Want a drink? Its on me." Gracie turns to Will, and takes a deep breath, and tells him "I'm pregnant Will." Will's eyes light up, and Gracie tells him with sadness "You're not the Father. But once Daddy learns, it's not going to be pretty." Will asks "Why?" Gracie tells him "Wade Issac's the Father." Will's jaw drops, and grabs her hand, and tells her "I'm in love with you Gracie, and I'll be this kid's Father and claim him." Gracie and Will kiss. At Hell Hill, Xavier and Ava return inside, as Ava tells her Brother "I'm going across the road and check on things." Ava heads out, as Xavier walks into his study, as he smells perfume, and opens the door and his eyes widen, as someone sits at his desk, and Xavier goes "I'm dreaming. Tell me I'm dreaming!" The person gets up, and walks over to Xavier, and tells him "I'm home sweet boy. Grandma's home."
Back at Chase Media, Ryan grows frustrated, as he screams "Where is he? He better not have copped out because I'm depending on it!" At HaleCorp, Angelica returns, and walks into Wade's office, and screams "OH MY GOD!!!", as Wade's been shot three times and lays on the ground.

 
 

 

   

   
   

   

Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 19. The Derailing Train

     It's the next day in Adam's Landing, and at Sully's Mansion, Sully sits inside the kitchen, as she finishes her coffee, as Ruthie walks inside, and Sully asks her Daughter "So did you get that text I sent?" Ruthie checks, and goes "I'll treat her like she treats me." Sully hugs her Daughter, as Randi walks downstairs, and yells at Sully "I told you I need no damn job!" Sully snaps fiercely "And you are not mooching off of me so get moving. I'm in no mood for your shit!" Ruthie heads out, as she tells Randi "Come on. I'm driving you there and back since you lost your car." Ruthie and Randi leaves, as Sully yells upstairs "Hey Henry remember what you promised me before work?" Sully walks upstairs, as Henry is still passed out, and Sully jumps on the bed, as he opens his eyes, and asks "Have you lost your mind?" Sully tells her fiancé "I'm about to cure that hangover, and then off to work in a happy mood as long as everyone leaves me the hell alone." Sully takes off her robe, as she and Henry has sex.

   At Hell Hill, Xavier walks into the kitchen, as Ava asks her Brother "So stayed in the study? I crashed on the couch." Xavier asks his Sister "Where's my Mother?" Ava tells him "She went over to Frank's, but there's some coffee and now to plan our attack after last night's little revelation." They walk into the kitchen, as they pour themselves a glass, and sits down, as Xavier asks Ava "So now what's your thoughts on Brock? That's some very interesting information he risked his life to get." Ava agrees, and adds "And he wants to plant a mole inside our company!" Xavier sighs "It's strange, but here we are talking about Wade, and no discussing Leigh and the other person I wish was dead." Ava looks at her Brother, and tells him in a stern tone "He has little time to breathe." Xavier agrees, as he makes a phone call to Country, to no answer, as Ava warns him "For the best interests of Sully and your twins, need to tell them to warn their Mother that she's hanging with a dead man walking." Ava walks outside, as Xavier takes a deep breath. Outside, Ava lights a cigarette, and says to herself "You're working for someone Aaron, and anybody I suspect helping you are dying with you."

   At The Farm, Frank drinks coffee, as there's a knock at the door, and Frank walks over to answer, as it's Beth, and Frank asks her "You don't get up this early and move around. What happened last night over at Hell Hill? Bree told me something was going on, but then my Sister goes batshit again." Beth sits down, as Frank gets up to pour her a cup, and Beth sighs with disgust "Leigh Woods has really messed up. She's going to have two people going after her I fear, maybe more. If she wasn't the Mother to three of my Grandkids, I'd kill her over this Frank!" Frank asks "Well Beth what in the hell did she do?" Beth bluntly answers "Screwed Aaron Pittman. Does that name send any red flags flying?" Frank takes a deep breath, as he goes "Oh shit. That son of a bitch is back in Adam's Landing?" Beth nods, as Frank snarls with anger "That was icing on the cake for Mama and Daddy's marriage. That shit Jamie and Junior pulled was sick. I still to this, well let's rephrase. They were truly the worst of the family. Jamie deserves to stay in prison and glad Xavier killed Junior! He really deserved it!" Beth asks Frank "So are you implying that Leigh deserves a bullet? I'd gladly put one in her." Frank walks over, as he and Beth hug, and he reminds her "Well we know somehow Aaron's going to regret coming back, and well we'll see about Leigh." Beth asks "And did you know she wants everything? Jackson Inc. Hell Hill.." Frank promises Beth "Knowing Xavier, Ava, myself, and all of us, she won't be getting a damn thing." Frank sits next to her on the couch, as she puts her head on his shoulder, as he holds her close to him with a smile on his face.

    At Chase Media, Gracie arrives, as Leigh sits in the lounge, and asks her Daughter "Don't I get a good morning? I am your Mother." Gracie snaps at her Mother fiercely "You bitch. To cheat on Daddy! With Aunt Ava's rapist!!!" Leigh attacks Gracie, as a fight breaks out, and Ryan runs out of his office, as he pulls them apart, as Leigh warns her Daughter "If all of you wanna side with that Mama's boy, then you can go to hell! All of you! There's some things you don't know!" Gracie turns to Ryan, as she pulls out her card, and hands it to Ryan, and goes "I've not set up an office, and I will do that upstairs since you appear to have hired her according to the news this morning. Looks to be true and I'll forward the message you piece of shit. You really need to leave my damn family the hell alone!" Gracie walks over to the elevator, as she gets on, and heads upstairs to Jackson Inc. At The Holiday Hotel, Brock sits in the bar, as he's silent, and Ciarra sits across from her Great-Nephew, as she reminds him "If you see him, then you call Beth or Xavier, or even Sully. But don't call nobody else, and I came for the breakfast special so no gunfire." Brock nods in agreement, as unknown to them, Aaron walks inside, as he walks up to the bar and sits down, as he meets with someone, as they tell him "Ok Mr. Pitts, you can work for our company and manage this hotel. Mr. Hale approved. He is very hands on with this. It's his life." Aaron smiles "And this has been my life's work. I will do excellent at running things here."

     Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, Bree stands in the living room with Jack, as he tells his Cousin "Mom said she isn't leaving from across the road until it's time, and I've called Country, and Henry, and no answer." Bree goes "Shit. I know exactly what the two of them are doing." Jack warns "Don't forget Brock, he has been trying to act like Uncle Xavier." Bree goes "I'm more worried about your Mom. She's the one that's likely going to the dark side, and if she's going to slow up drinking, the last place she needs to be is Hell Hill." Jack agrees, as they head across the road, and are stopped, as Wade gets out of his car, and asks "Where's Ava?" Bree and Jack glare at him, and Jack answers bluntly "None of your damn business and get the hell out of here before we have you locked up. Remember you aren't allowed here." Wade quips "Well didn't know." Bree laughs "Aunt Ava hates you, but loves your Grandmother." Jack sighs "Yep. Odd friendship. Very odd." Bree nods in agreement, as they head across the road, as Wade watches on, and heads to HaleCorp.

     At Hell Hill, Ava and Xavier sits inside his study, as they share a bottle of liquor, as they look at each other, and Ava tells her Brother "There's an abandoned outhouse out back.", as she flicks her bic. Xavier tells his Sister, as he puts the bottle under his desk "Sis, if Leigh's going to lose, and believe me the bitch will, it can't be by fire unless you can leave our family out of your fury." Ava tells him "I told you before I can't make no promises when I'll attack. Adam's Landing may be growing, but it's still a town I'll run into them eventually." Xavier gets a text, and screams "OH SHIT!" Ava gasps "What.." Xavier snarls "Damn if Leigh didn't turn into Jamie! Ryan, remember him?" Ava nods, as Xavier yells "That bastard has hired her for a talk show or some shit, and now she's about to expose us. And take our legacy!" Ava pulls a pistol from her purse, as she coldly answers, as she reaches under the desk for the bottle of liquor and pours a glass and takes a drink "She may have to pay with blood the way she's going. Better warn her because I'm taking care of Aaron's ass!" Xavier rolls his eyes, as they head to Jackson Inc.

     At Jackson Inc, Sully and Henry arrives,and Country, and Bobby awaits her inside her Father's office, as Country tells her "I've called Brock, and he's not answering." Sully tells him "Aunt Ciarra's with him actually. She left the Penthouse! Yay for my sweet Aunt." All agree, as Henry tells them "Leigh's in the building." The door opens, as Leigh storms inside, and Bobby looks at her, and asks "So wanna discuss how low on money we can go since you've clearly lost this one to me. I've already called Monica, and Jo's gonna take care of things." Sully is silent, as she gets emotional, and Country hugs her, and goes "Uncle Country's here." Henry also comforts her, as Bobby tells Leigh "Xavier has issued an order that you stay out of this building." Leigh snaps "Exactly where at in the building?" Sully yells "Damnit can't you hear him he said nowhere!" Leigh tells everyone in the room "Go to hell all of you!" Leigh walks up to her Daughter, and looks at Henry, and laughs "And you are just like your Father. And your so called man is a piece of shit." Sully boldly answers "At least I'm not sleeping with my Husband's Sister's former rapist and a first class whore." Leigh storms out, as Bobby tells them "I'm going to my office. Call me if we need to have security discussions." Everyone nods, as Sully and Henry looks at Country, as he tells them "Ava knows, but does Jack know anything?" Sully answers "I've never heard him speak of Aaron." Sully warns them "After the short time Daddy spoke this morning, he's pissed." Country laughs "He and Ava in that ol' Hell Hill study isn't a good sign. And if your Grandma's there." Henry goes "A cool woman Ms. Beth." Sully hugs Henry tightly, as she asks Country "Will you go stay there and relieve Grandma? And try your best to keep them from losing it." Country responds with a warning "I can't promise nothing sweetheart. I can only tell you that they are planning something. And it's huge whatever it is." Sully is quiet, as she sits, and checks her mail on her computer, and gasps, as she tells them "Daddy sent me this from something Brock gave him last night!" Country looks at Henry, and goes "Hope you got your aim perfect, because this will get ugly. This confirms it all!" Sully sits back and sighs "I'm gonna deal with Wade. His Wife, and the whore that sleeps with my Ex, works for me." Sully laughs as Henry and Country both look at each other, as Country heads to Hell Hill, and Henry sits with Sully, and asks "How's Mom doing?" Sully goes "Heard nothing. Considering that good." Henry nods in agreement, and they kiss each other, and Henry sits at the desk, as he goes "Just waiting on the phone to ring."
 
      At The Farm, Frank sits inside the Nursery, as Cale arrives, and asks his Father "Who was the woman here last night?" Frank tells his Son "Randi Miller. She and Bob are Henry Jennings' parents." Cale warns his Father "This doesn't sound good. I did see an abandoned car last night. Did she pull a fast one?" Frank goes "Damn well he had sex." Cale sighs "Dad, don't let another woman come in your life and take advantage of you and your demons you battle. You will always have Aunt Beth, whether or not the two of you are married." Frank agrees, as he feels guilt over the night before.

     Meanwhile at City Hospital, Beth walks inside her office, as Barbara and Terrance walks inside and Beth tells them "Olivia's on her way and yes I will donate to adding a new wing to the research center. It's making great strides I've noticed." Terrance tells Beth "This hospital is running smooth." Barbara agrees, and asks them "I want y'all to look at these and tell me if something's off to you." Beth and Terrance look, as Barbara goes "The nurses couldn't read them." Terrance looks at Beth, and Beth asks "And who wrote those scripts Barbara?" Barbara is silent, as Keisha walks inside and tells them "Olivia's training Ginny later today." Beth sighs "I need to spend more time with her. She said she'd be around more." Barbara answers "That's good." Keisha looks at Terrance, as he tells everyone "Keisha and Javon's decided to get married at Mama's house and all are invited." Everyone congratulate Keisha and Terrance, as they accept the invitations.

   At The Holiday Hotel, Brock sits with Will and Ciarra, as she tells him of her life in retail, as he's in amazement, and Brock goes "It's a family trait. Own a store." Ciarra smiles, as she reflects "Sullivan's was an amazing store for many years. A real pioneer. Same for Jim's. 15,000 square feet was considered huge once upon a time." Brock and Will listen on. In the Manager's office, Aaron's on the phone, as he calls Jackson Inc, and he goes "I'm looking for Jackson Hale." Jackson Inc.'s receptionist responds "We can't give no info. Company mandate number one." The receptionist hangs up, as Aaron has an idea, and looks up names of members of the Jackson family on his phone, as he goes "Oh wow. Watch out Leigh because I may be dropping you. Getting old for a model."

   Wade arrives at HaleCorp, as Jared awaits his Brother, as Wade warns Jared "I know you are sleeping with my Wife Jared. The shit will come back on you!" Jared yells "Maybe if you truly loved your Wife, and your I think teenage son, well I'd tend to them first and she hates living around that evil bitch we have as a Grandmother." Wade yells "Jared, you are the least of my problems. Brock stole some important expansion plans and gave them to his Daddy I bet. I declare war and I'll talk on Rachel's new talk show that's going to be on to expose it." Jared laughs, as he heads to his office "Good luck surviving that. Literally." Jared walks out, with fear in his eyes, as he goes to his office. At City Hospital, Angelica sits in the lab section and goes "I'm here on behalf of my sweet Daughter In Law, and she needs some info. That old flu just been going round." The lab tech goes "Hold on." Angelica smiles.

    At Hell Hill, Bree and Jack stands outside, as she sighs with fear "Jack they are really planning something huge. I am even stunned Leigh would do this." Jack tells his Cousin "In a way I can relate with Samantha, J.J. and Mom." Bree quips "Jo looked that over, and called in one of her 'many' favors since she was the Adam's Landing leading judge well over thirty years and still stays involved in some fashion. A great lady and help to me." Jack tells her "I'm headed to Jackson Inc, and see if I find them there, and I'll touch base later." They hug and part ways. At Chase Media, Henry and Country stands outside the doors to the building holding machine guns and ski masks, as they look at each other. Upstairs at Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her office, as Gracie walks in and tells her Sister "I quit downstairs. What's open?" Sully answers "Bridget's position." Back downstairs at Chase Media, inside Leigh has finished filming a commercial, as Ryan applauds, and goes "Just beautiful. Elegant as one expects Ms. Woods to look." Leigh smiles, and quips "It's natural." Outside, Xavier and Ava arrives, as Xavier tells Henry and Country quietly "Take off the masks now. Now it's time to take care of some business my way." Xavier points to the door, holding his Colt 45, as Ava stands next to her Brother, holding a pistol, as Country and Henry carry machine guns, as they rush inside, and shoots out the glass, as people back up, as Xavier yells "Ok you punk ass little bastard you done pissed off the wrong son of a bitch in Adam's Landing!" Xavier and Ava ask for directions, and heads to the studio, as Ava reminds everyone "Make one call I will clean you dry. Remember the Jackson name in this damn town!" They head to the studio, as they walk inside, and a Xavier fires a shot in the air, as Ryan ducks, as does Leigh, as Ava stands back silently and lights a cigarette, and Xavier aims his Colt 45 at Leigh, and in a drunken tone, asks her "Tell me how to deal with you?" Country and Henry stands behind Xavier and Ava, guns loaded, as Ava aims her pistol at Leigh as well, and Xavier looks at Ryan and goes "And you are officially evicted and I will personally seek to break your empire into small little bits and sell to different people." Leigh yells at her Husband "I can't wait to see you in court. I got my papers this morning." Xavier yells "Good! I can't believe you turned into a whore Leigh!" Ryan tries to defend Leigh, as Leigh attempts to slap Xavier, as Ava aims at her and goes "Touch him and die trash." Country and Henry aims at Ryan, as he backs up, and grows scared, as he attempts to reach for the phone, but Xavier shoots, and goes "Try again and see where the next bullet lands."
