The next day arrives in Adam's Landing, and at Hell Hill, Beth sits in the kitchen, as she tells her Daughter In Law "Faye will be leaving town today to that rehab in Valley Ridge. She doesn't know, but Frank agreed." Leigh asks her Mother In Law "I need to talk about a possible family war on the rise." Beth answers "Are you referring to who my Grandson calls a greedy bastard? My sweet Xavier?" Beth adds "Brock is a lot like Xavier's version of Frank. Think about it, and as for his twin, I don't know yet with Gracie. But we know damn well Sully is just like her Daddy!" Leigh nods in agreement, with concern on her face. Across the road, at Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the living room, as she makes coffee, and lights a cigarette, and hears a cough from her basement, and yells "Shut the hell up!" Xavier walks inside, and asks his Sister "Guests?" Ava smiles "For your Mother dear Brother." Xavier asks his Sister "So why can't you believe Winston is dead?" Ava tells her Brother "Because he took care of me." Xavier reminds her "Sis, you always have me, and Frank though he seems to have his hands full." Ava quips "I find it funny. Glad I don't have to deal with her." Xavier tells Ava "It's time for you to try to move ahead." Ava hugs Xavier, and tells him "I know it. But at my age and all.." Xavier smiles "Think of something Grandma would say." Ava smiles at her Brother "My Mama would let me know my answer. And I think you're right. I'll see you at the office." Xavier leaves, as Ava walks into the basement, and yells "Don't start coughing, and trying anything with me!" They snarl back "You don't want to try me when I get out you evil, wicked bitch of the East!"
At City Hospital, Frank walks into his Daughter's room, as Terrance tells Faye "You can't leave. You're being sent to rehab for your addiction problem!" Faye screams "I'll kill that bitch!" Frank looks at his Daughter with tears, and says "You're close to breaking, and I'm just.." Faye yells "I hate you!" Frank walks out, and takes a deep breath, as he holds his chest, feeling pain. At Chantel's, Cale, Allison, Wade, and Bridget, all have breakfast together, as Wade quips "Soon I'll hire a cook for family gatherings." Cale tells his Cousin "Well Wade, I need to check on Dad. He was gone before we left." Wade asks "Well isn't there a Niece I don't see?" Allison nods with disdain, as she and Bridget glare at each other, and Allison tells everyone "I have things to do." Allison kisses her Husband, as Bridget asks in a snooty tone "So tell me the life of a housewife Allison." Allison glares at Wade and Bridget, and leaves peacefully, as Wade tells Cale "I want to know if you want a share of HaleCorp. I am making sure we are set for life." Bridget checks her watch, as she tells Wade "Time for me to start my job. Training in business at Class." Bridget leaves, as Cale looks at Wade, and tells his Cousin "I'm really not.." Wade tells him "Ginny could use a trust fund if racing hobby goes up in smoke, and I need some help." Cale and Wade chat, as Cale tells him "Last thing we need is a family war. So don't be starting one with anything connected to my Uncle Xavier if you know what's wise." Wade quips, as the waitress brings the check "Oh I got that man figured out."
At Class, Jamie sits inside her office, as Bree walks inside, and Jamie asks her Oldest Daughter "And for what purpose do you have being here?" Bree warns her Mother "I know the truth, and you need to stop playing the damn victim, and the same for my Sister!" Jamie warns her Daughter, as she gets up from her desk "Bree do you know I regret having you now." Bree walks up to her Mother, and slaps her across the face, and yells fiercely "Do you even know the years of hell I've endured because of you! You slept with my first Husband. Helped write a book that destroyed the family! And then do the one thing you should have never tried, and that was Aunt Beth, and the lady whether or not you like it I call Grandma." Jamie snaps "And before you even go there, I didn't sleep with Jared." Bree responds in a serious tone "That instant defense gives me instincts to know you did. Just admit that you are keeping my Sister out of town to protect yourself." Jamie warns her Daughter "Now you've said all I want to hear, so go find a man I haven't slept with yet." Bree walks out with disgust, as Jamie sits back, and her phone rings, and she answers, as someone says on the other line "Game has changed."
Meanwhile at The Exposer, Aretha walks into her office, as Carver follows, and Aretha asks Carver "So what's the scoop you've got on Jamie?" Carver asks instead "How about discussing our wedding?" Aretha looks at Carver, and sighs "I'm not feeling like talking about that after last night." Carver asks his fiancée "Did Uncle Sayyid try to kill you?" Aretha snaps "Damnit he's.." Carver goes "Guilty of murder?" Aretha yells "Just go see Roger, and I'll deal with you later. And stop talking about my Uncle." Carver reminds Aretha, as he walks to the door "Just remember I will always hate him for what he's tried to do to me. He deserves what he gets." Carver walks out, as Aretha looks at her engagement ring to Carver, and moves it around on her finger, with doubt in her eyes, and in her heart. At The Evans Home, Javon and Keisha are inside the living room, as Willie walks downstairs, and tells them "I can't wait for the news, so I'm forewarning everyone." Javon reminds his Grandmother "What did we say about us eloping, and we were doing it in the islands? Not here." Willie sighs "I love weddings. Aretha's about to get married." Javon nods, and slowly tells her "There's a wedding for you." Javon and Keisha hugs Willie, as Javon and Keisha leaves. Willie walks back inside, and sees a missed call from Eve, and ignores it; as she sits down, and goes "Starting to irritate me girl."
At HaleCorp, Jared walks into his office, as he checks his messages, and Angelica walks inside, and smiles at her Grandson "Ahh the face of failure. Who needs to pay with blood." Jared snarls at her angrily, and hatefully "Bitch there isn't much keeping me from cutting your throat." Angelica asks Jared "So asshole like to tell me what you have decided?" Jared warns her with slight fear in his tone "Grandmother I will not kiss your ass! I hate you!" Angelica responds with a laugh "Hate you and your Mommy too. But Chant was like his Son Wade. The two of you are attracted to Bridget..." Jared yells "I'm not leaving this company because Roger sold it to Wade!" Angelica yells in frustration "I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO LEAVE!" Angelica takes a deep breath, and slowly grins "Sleep with Bridget and I'll bring your kids to you. All three, or four?" Jared is silent, and asks "No killing anybody?" Angelica laughs to him "If you make no mistakes." Angelica struts out, as Jared is silent, as he makes a phone call, but the number's disconnected. Country meanwhile walks inside, as he warns Jared "Now I'm not putting myself in danger of being offed by X." Jared sternly goes "It's about his Grandchildren. I think my Grandmother is plotting something, and knows something and being herself about it." Country walks to the door, and tells Jared "I heard that Roger sold this to your ol' Brother up in Sugar Creek. And I think you'd need to worry about your job. X and her are friends now. Unlike we are." Country leaves, as Jared calls his secretary, and tells her "Tell Wade when he arrives I'm waiting for him."
Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Xavier arrives, as he bumps into his Nephew, as Jack asks his Uncle "So what's your thoughts?" Xavier looks at Jack, and tells him "Your Mother is herself to me." Jack warns Xavier "Wait when she arrives. That's if she does." Javon meanwhile walks inside, as Xavier tells them "I think it's time for our big announcement thanks to a surprise flying home today." Jack gets excited, and yells "FINALLY!" Xavier starts to cry, as he goes "Yes, my Princess will be coming home! The one I plan to pass this to." Javon jokes "I thought you said this could be mine?" Xavier looks at Javon, and quips "Call Roger and see if he's up to selling Class." Javon tells them "He may just do it too." Jack is silent, as he's filled with joy, of his Cousin's upcoming return, as Xavier tells him "Call him and let's do it. But it'll be Sully's call who's in charge." Javon and Jack heads to Jack's office, as Xavier sits down, and looks at a photo of his Oldest Daughter, Sully Jackson, and says to it with tears "Daddy has missed you Princess."
At Beth's Penthouse, Ciarra walks into the living room, as she puts away a leash, and tells Precious "Beth's out late this morning. Let's enjoy our little quiet time." The doorbell rings, as Ciarra answers, to find Brock on the other side, and Ciarra hugs her Great-Nephew, and asks "Why aren't you home resting from your trip?" Brock tells her "I need to ask Gram something, or as I've heard, you have a way with her.." Ciarra sits down, and asks "Are you and Xavier having problems?" Brock nods, and adds "And I am going to get back my Sister's company for her, and Mom." Ciarra takes a deep breath, and quips "You are moving up an imaginary ladder much too fast. You need to just get in the door before trying to perform takeovers. And sadly remember the bitch that runs it happens to be my child. Think of family." Brock goes "I am! And the way Bree acts about Jamie, shouldn't be a problem." Ciarra warns her Great Nephew "In your Father's eyes, he would likely challenge you. Xavier isn't the type to be defied. But know he doesn't forgive or forget." Brock asks his Great Aunt in a bold tone "If Sully went to bed with Roger Lord, and then sold her business to him, wouldn't my Father remember she's his child. He screams family." Ciarra quickly snaps "Now we know she'd never do anything like that, and she is just like her Father. And for you, I'd cool down; and you can stay here with us if you'd like. I have no idea where you Grandmother could be." At Whispering Hills, Beth arrives, as Ava is on the phone, and warns her Daughter In Law "Samantha, do not let him come down here! And everything is fine! Back off!" Ava hangs up, as Beth asks "So Jack's still worrying about you." Ava tells her Former Sister In Law "I talked to Xavier, and ready to accept he's dead. And Angelica's moving on, so I guess time for me to do the same. Enjoy myself." Beth asks "So where's my present?" Ava takes Beth into the basement, as Ava laughs "Look who I found in town last night that could just save my Brother's life." Beth is quiet, as she smiles, and tells the person, tied up to a chair, and their mouth taped shut "Hello bitch. Long time no see. So wanna make a deal?"
At FJR, Cale walks inside, as he finds Frank inside the shop, and asks his Father "Weren't you supposed to see Dr. Arp this morning?" Frank sits against a car, and tells his Son "Faye's going to rehab, and I wanted to come here and look at some success. And enjoy some peace and quiet." Cale looks at his Father, and tells him, with concern "You don't look rested Dad." Frank snaps "How can I rest with that little bitch I created with Casey Ryan? I should have listened to Beth." Cale quips "I can always call her.." Frank warns Cale "Don't call her and get her started." Frank and Cale walks around the shop, as Frank tells his Son "I already know what I need to know, and no need to worry Beth. It's alright. I know this is fine, and you're fine." Cale stops his Father, and asks him "Are you saying something to me without coming out?" Frank answers "Yes. And I just want to enjoy what time I have left." At City Hospital, Terrance sits inside his office, as Barbara walks inside, and tells him "Call Beth and let her know Frank canceled his appointment. I know it's not legal, but we also know them." Terrance takes a deep breath, as he asks "Has my Uncle arrived to see you yet?" Barbara hands over a file, and tells him "Olivia will be able to help him more than I could. And I think his odds are good right now. Olivia though has something she's working on that only she knows how to use." Terrance is quiet, as Barbara's phone rings, and she answers "Dr. Arp." Barbara leaves, as Terrance sits quietly, and reads his Uncle's results from Loma Vista, and thinks of his Mother, as he calls Willie, and gets no answer, as Terrance says to himself "Damn Uncle Clem. You waited.."
Meanwhile at Class, Bridget walks inside Jamie's office, as Bridget tells Jamie "I am excited to be working for you, and running the media side of things." Jamie nods, and goes "Me too Bridget. Me too." Bridget asks Jamie "So how do you handle the attacks Sully's family still likely delivers.." Jamie cries "Oh my Daughter died because of her, and that horrible family I sadly come from and had to disown to protect myself." Bridget's jaw drops, as she asks "Do you think Sully killed Summer?" Jamie nods, and confidently tells Bridget "She left three boys without a Mother. If she tries me again, her two brats lose their Mother." Bridget is silent, as a thought crosses her mind, and thinks about it to herself. At Jackson Inc, Leigh walks into her Husband's office, as Xavier asks his Wife "What brings you down here?" Leigh asks her Husband "I wanted to know if you heard from our Daughter yet? All you said was she was coming home X." Xavier sits back, and nods, and adds "She's arriving on her own private jet. Part of the deal I made to buy the grocery division of Thomas Holdings, that's splitting up." Leigh asks Xavier "And you promise not to show any favoritism towards Sully around our Son." Xavier snaps "Damnit what's the deal with Junior? What am I doing wrong other than always making sure he has what he needs to survive. But as we both clearly see, not interested." Leigh yells "He's trying to prove himself to you. Like approval." Xavier rolls his eyes, as he says to himself "A load of bullshit." Leigh walks up to Xavier, and grabs him, and warns him "I'm warning you X, one more time you try something B.R. would; I will kill for one of my kids!" Leigh walks out, as Xavier sits at his desk, with his hand on his head, as he has disappointment in his eyes.
At the ALPD, Bree walks into her office, as Paul waits, and noticing a look of concern, Bree asks Paul "Did my Mother make another attempt at a favor?" Paul gets up, puts his hands on Bree's shoulders, and warns her "Someone tipped me off that there's someone on their way to town prone to cause your Mother to go to press crying victim again." Bree sits down, and goes "Shit. Sounds like we need to call Bobby. So you do that, and I'll call my Uncle." At The Farm, Frank returns, as he notices the door's unlocked, and yells "Who's in my damn house?" Faye walks out of her bedroom, as she laughs in a drunken tone "Nice try old man. I fooled those people at the hospital." Frank yells "You little bitch! I've damn had it..." Frank grabs his chest, and Faye laughs towards her Father "What is it Daddy? Pretending to have a heart attack?" Frank, with pain in his voice, yells as he holds his chest tightly "Get my pills." Faye sits down, as Frank looks towards his Daughter with tears, as Faye bends down, and quips "Time for me to collect Daddy." Frank's phone rings, as Faye walks over, and see her Cousin's number, and ignores it. Back at the ALPD, Bree looks at Paul, and tells him "Cale told me he skipped his appointment, and he's not been well lately." Paul tells Bree "Go check on him." Bree heads out, as she heads to The Farm. Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, in the basement, Ava sits on the steps, and smokes a cigarette, and drinks a glass of liquor, as Beth walks around the chair, as someone squirms, as their mouth's covered, and Beth whispers in their ear "I may be willing to give you something, but in return you give something to us."
A fictional serial set in the Southeastern City of Adam's Landing, and The Jackson, Sullivan, Hale, and Evans Families.
