Daylight And Darkness: The Next Chapter, Episode 7: The Great Reboot

         It's now three months since we've last visited Adam's Landing, and we will pick up our show from where we left off, and then move up three months. There were many stories and brewing wars on the rise, and returning. And we now will be getting back to the classic D&D basics and refresh, yet finish where we left off.

Three Months Later In Adam's Landing,

         It's three months later in Adam's Landing, and things have changed for many in a short time. At Hell Hill, Leigh sits inside the living room, silent as Xavier walks out of his office and asks his Wife "Let's go to Mother's and have dinner my love.." Leigh slaps her Husband and snaps angrily "Just know something X, if you win, then we are done! Damnit I mean DONE!" Xavier warns his Wife "The way it looks, we all but are anyway so let's play pretend for our Princess, and maybe Gracie if she shows up." Leigh yells "Why can't you call our Son so he can join us?" Xavier yells "Ok let's go! If you wanna do it this way, I can do the damn same and my namesake has failed me and I will never forgive him! And I wish you could do the same!!" They walk out, as Leigh pulls out her phone and reads a message and replies "Meet me tomorrow to discuss that." 

      At Jackson Inc, Sully sits inside her new office, as Jack walks inside, and asks his Cousin "Staying late?" Sully tells him "With all the friction right now between my parents, and with the whore and.." Jack laughs as he asks "Which whore may we be referring to cousin? Rachel? Aunt Jamie?" Sully laughs "Jamie I doubt will be a concern for much longer with what's coming for her." Jack sighs with relief "At least it's made my Mother slow down on the bottle." Sully's phone rings, as Jack heads out, as Sully goes "I want those files tonight!" Sully hangs up, as she takes a deep breath, as she reads a text, and sighs with disgust "Time for the bitch to know where she stands."

    At Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the living room, as evening has fallen, as she makes a phone call but gets no answer. Ava takes a deep breath, as she says to herself "Poor Bree." There's a knock at the door, as Ava answers to find Angelica at the door and walks in as she tells Ava "We have a problem at HaleCorp. I'm tasting that quench for bloodshed." Ava asks "Wade? Jared?" Angelica mumbles "Jared. And my Grandson's Wife Bridget!" Ava sighs "I asked Sully why she let her go back to work at Class, and she smiled and went "To keep a watchful eye on my enemy." Angelica smiles and goes "That girl takes after her Father." Ava quips "She does, but Xavier would kill them dead. I recommend she do that to Bridget too!" Angelica asks "So are you going to the Courthouse tomorrow?" Ava nods, and smiles "A long damn time coming!" Angelica heads to the door, and tells her "She pushed her limits, and now she's going to pay for it." Angelica leaves, as Ava looks at her Christmas Tree, as the Holiday Season's passed, and smiles "Yes a very long time coming it has. Thank you Winston. I miss you my sweet old Grinch." Ava kisses his photo that's on the mantle, as she has a thought, and makes a phone call.

    Meanwhile at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth, Ciarra, and Ruthie are inside the kitchen, as Beth asks her Great-Granddaughter "And where is your Mama? I told her to slow down and I'm kind of dreading this tonight." Ruthie asks her Great-Grandmother "So since I can drive, maybe you could help Mom and push my Papaw to make her get me a car?" Ciarra quips to her Great-Niece "I'll let you have mine. I don't plan to leave this apartment again." Beth rolls her eyes, as she sighs "Damnit Aunt Ciarra I know it's not your most favorite time and with this trial about to start.." Ruthie looks at them, and checks her phone and tells them "Mom's taking a rain check so I have to meet her downstairs." Beth hugs her Great-Granddaughter, and warns her "Tell Sully I said to slow down!" Ciarra also hugs Ruthie as she leaves, and Beth asks her Aunt "And what shall I expect when Xavier and Leigh arrive?" Ciarra answers distantly "A hopefully pleasant dinner for our late Christmas." On the road, Xavier drives the SUV, as Leigh sits in the passenger's seat as she glares at her phone silently, as she reads a story on the 'The Exposer', titled "Son of X Sr Tells All!!", glaring angrily, turning to her Husband as Xavier looks ahead and is silent.

     At Bree's Mansion, Bree is silent, as she looks through photos, and cries as the door opens and turns to see her Uncle, as Frank laughs "Might be cold but was worried about you about this trial coming." Bree runs to his arms, and cries "How could my Mother be like this? How? Is this really what I have and a sometime Father?" Frank reminds his Niece "You've got me, and Aunt Beth and Aunt Ava, and so many people. Can you do this?" Bree yells "Yes! I wish people would stop asking that!" Frank reminds her "Well not everyday does a Daughter go to the courtroom to send her Mother to Prison for murdering her other Daughter, and your little Sister." Bree tells her Uncle "Dad's doing some research on that but otherwise she needs to pay and I see the light now. Maybe Xavier was right all along." Frank hugs his Niece, and laughs humbly "Well sometimes he does. And most times he's just an asshole like my Daddy was." Bree laughs, and goes "I needed to do that." Frank asks "Do?" Bree answers "Laugh." Frank looks around, and asks his Niece "Since Paul and the kids moved in with Bobby, how about you just come stay with me at the Farm?" Bree sighs as she stares at her paperwork "But with all this stuff to do to prepare to send my Mom to Lexington Women's Prison.." Frank asks "Do I really need to ask you again?" Bree takes a deep breath, and walks up to her Uncle, and tells him fighting tears "You are the only parent besides Grandma Ruth I've ever known.. I love you..." Frank holds Bree in his arms, as he tells her "And you will always be my favorite girl."

     Meanwhile at Wade and Bridget's Mansion, Wade greets his Wife, as they are naked and Bridget tells her Husband "I love it that the evil old bitch is staying in her old bloody manor." Wade quips "And you hate this place and look at the nice thing she did for us. She has a life besides tormenting you. Now want to get back to where we were?" Wade and Bridget begin to have sex, as the door opens, and Angelica looks into the living room, and tells her Grandson and his Wife "Don't let my presence stop you from enjoying a blue collar whore's street tricks." Bridget snaps, walking up to Angelica covering herself with a sheet "How about you go back home to South America? Back to the place you and your family kill for royalty and use sick games to.." Wade yells at his Wife "Stop fighting with Grandmother" Angelica heads to the stairway, as she looks at her watch, and tells Wade "She is testing my kindness." Bridget laughs with anger "What kindness?" Angelica walks up to her and answers "The kind of kindness and respect to someone we know that keeps me from doing a select few things to you to forever damage you. Such as when you were cut up in that jail by Sully? And then the money I gave Wade to.." Wade pulls up a sheet, and gets up and yells at his Wife and Grandmother "Enough!" Angelica smiles to Wade, and tells her Grandson "I'm going to my room and take a sedative. Goodnight my sweet prince." Angelica turns to Bridget, and goes "Hope you enjoy my present to you tomorrow. Consider it a late Christmas." Angelica walks upstairs, as Bridget takes a deep breath, and warns Wade "I've had enough with this arrangement. Stop kissing her ass!" Wade quickly tells his Wife with frustration "Let's go to our separate rooms and call this a night." Both only covering their bodies with sheets, heads to their separate bedrooms. Upstairs, Angelica sends a text, with a smile, as she types "And hope you had a Merry Christmas to you as well dear. I promise not to kill the little whore and if I do, then I'll let you take Wade lol." She quickly gets a response, saying "Haha Santiago. And you know I would too."

     At Sully's new Mansion near Hell Hill, Henry sits in the living room, as he drinks from his bottle of liquor, as Sully and Ruthie walks inside, and Sully quips to her boyfriend "Looks like you are enjoying Daddy's gift he gave you for Christmas." Henry yells "Xavier Jackson is a hell of a man! This is some high dollar shit he gave me for Christmas for working on that Storm Shelter." Ruthie takes a deep breath, as she tells her Mother "I'm going upstairs for the evening Mom." Sully hugs her Daughter, as Ruthie heads to her room, as Sully asks Henry "So when are you going to follow through on your promise to come to family gatherings?" Henry, in a drunken tone, slurs "When Leigh stops judging me. Snooty ass bitch. The old lady Ciarra I think, well her too." Sully tells him "They are just overprotective and Aunt Ciarra has always been very private but warm and loving towards me and my family, and she said she thinks you are a good man and happy for us. Something Mom hasn't said." Henry laughs "Well score one for Ms. Sullivan!" Sully sits next to Henry, and looks at the bottle he drinks from, and sighs with a smile "That's the family special moonshine you know. Only few get a bottle. From my Great-Grandpa B.R. Jackson's private stash hidden somewhere at Hell Hill. And I think Daddy likely told you the rest." Henry nods, and kisses Sully, as she tells him "I'm going to talk to my Daughter and call my Mother. You just enjoy yourself." Henry drinks, as Sully goes to Ruthie's bedroom, as she writes in her diary "I'm scared for my family."

    Back at Beth and Ciarra's Penthouse, Beth, Ciarra, Xavier, and Leigh sits in the living room, as Beth asks her Son "So Gracie's staying in Washington for Christmas?" Leigh snides "Who'd want to come back to a home where your Father plays favorites." Xavier grows angry, as Ciarra reminds Leigh "He did help Faye steal my SUV. Although my sweet nephew Xavier bought me a car, I understand his hurt." Beth adds "And helping that bitch that nearly killed Frank and letting her Mother go nearly did it for me." Leigh yells "Brock is a good kid. He has a big heart and made mistakes everyone!" Xavier gets up and storms out, as Beth rolls her eyes, as Leigh asks her Mother In Law "And are you going to take up for him like you always do Beth?" Beth warns her Daughter In Law "You're turning into a bitch. I like that Henry Sully is seeing, and I understand my Son, and apparently better than you." Outside, Xavier is on the phone, as he tells someone on the other line "She's doing what? You got to be shitting me. Seriously?" Xavier is silent, as his eyes begin to turn red, and tells the person on the other line "Meet me in my office tomorrow morning and we will fix that shit!" Xavier hangs up, and goes back inside, as he tells Leigh "I'm ready to call it a night. I'm glad Christmas is over!" Leigh snarls, as Beth glares at Leigh, as Ciarra has went to bed for the night "I'm tired of hearing your Mother cover for your errors in parenting!" Beth defensively yells at Leigh "My Son raised Sully as a single Father when we all thought you'd been killed, and he's been amazing to the twins as well!" Leigh asks her Husband "Does it make you happy Mommy here defends you?" Xavier coldly and quietly murmurs "We're going home. Let's Go." Xavier and Leigh storms out, as Leigh tells Xavier "You will regret what you're doing to our Son." Xavier tells his Wife in a silent tone "Shut the hell up. I've heard all I want from you." Beth stands at the door, as she watches, and shakes her head and sends a text to Brock, who lays on a couch, as the text reads "Get your shit together and make peace with your Father or Gram's kicking your ass." Brock is silent, as rage fills his eyes.

     As night's fallen upon Adam's Landing, at Whispering Hills, Jack sits in the living room, as Ava tells her Son "Tomorrow my damn Sister's going to get her just due and I'm nailing her ass to the wall!" Jack sighs "Mom, I hope you're ready to relive the past when you are called up to testify." Ava quips "Oh I've been waiting for this since a couple months before you were born and people didn't send texts instead of calling their Mothers." Jack tells his Mother "Well Samantha and I have decided to keep this from J.J.. He's too emotional and after he found your guest for Aunt Beth.." Ava sighs "Jack, just shut the hell up about it and go home for the night. I'm ready to have my shot and pass out." Jack warns "Another thing Mom, this glass you're constantly holding's really bothering me and I think.." Ava yells "Go home!" Jack walks out, as Ava locks the door, and takes a drink of liquor and snarls "I don't have a damn problem except for my Son's Wife trying to acting all perfect and judging me. Screw her, and if Jack wants to be whipped, hell screw him too." At The Farm, Frank walks inside, as he tells Bree "Tomorrow Cale, Allison, and Ginny's returning from the Beach." Bree sighs with a distant tone "Good for them. Tomorrow I stand before a judge I've never met and attempt to send my Mother away forever." Bree gets emotional, as she yells with anger "What happened to her?" Frank holds his Niece, and they sit on the couch, as he tells her gently "She's always been like this. When she met Roger and got all that work done, then she really let it go to her head. Wasn't for your Mama Bree, Your Grandparents wouldn't of divorced." Bree asks "When Ava was raped?" Frank nods, and goes "Jamie deserves whatever that judge decides and you just do your job and try and forget she's your Mother." Bree tells her Uncle "I'm just an orphan now. Jamie will get what she deserves." Frank hugs Bree, and tells her "Rest up now. You have a big day ahead tomorrow." Frank heads to his bedroom, as he sends a text to Beth, that reads "We need to be there for Bree. She's so down and it's really hurting me." Beth responds "I know the judge Bobby picked. She's going away for a long damn time! I promise that!" At the ALPD, in a cell, Jamie sits, as Roger stands on the other side, and asks "Ready for your close up tomorrow?" Jamie warns her Husband "Just know if I am free I'm going after you ALL! All of you bastards!" Roger quips "Good luck whore. And here's a photo to keep you happy dear." Roger hands a photo to his Wife, as he says to himself "Now you'll know the feeling you sad pathetic whore." Jamie looks at the photo, as rage fills her eyes, and she coldly goes "That's a mistake you'll pay for you selfish bitch."
