  At The Sunset Club,Lily is sitting with Jamie and Rachel,all of them sharing their stories with their families.Lily tells Rachel and Jamie"We have a best seller on our hands."Rachel quips"The Jacksons think they're royalty in town and we are about to expose them in ways they could never dream possible.Rachel asks Lily"Who is it that you're working for Lily?"Lily quickly responds"I run my own publishing company with a silent partner in Blue Ridge."Jamie and Rachel looks at each other and Rachel has a thought but keeps it to herself as Jamie signs the contract,as Rachel does the same as they've reached a deal.Lily smiles and tells them"Meet with me tomorrow here and we'll reminisce about our horrible families together and plan to show them!"Jamie and Rachel heads back to Jamie's room at the motel and Rachel tells Jamie"Why not just get a suite here?It's much nicer than that dump over The Inn."Jamie reminds Rachel"I have to lay low here until the time's right.Nobody in my family patronizes The Inn so I'm safe there."Rachel tells Jamie"Maybe Ava was right.Maybe we should have been family."Jamie and Rachel heads off as Lily goes to Winston's suite at The Sunset Club and tells him proudly"I've done it."Lily hands Winston the contracts and Winston sits back and says to Lily"Just remember to keep my name out of the discussions or your connection to me."Lily assures him with a kiss"Most certainly."
  At City Hospital,Frank and Ruth arrives for Frank to get his checkup.They see Bree headed to Beth's office as Beth's called her earlier and Rashad walks into the lobby and tells Frank"Do you trust a rookie for a check up?"Frank tells him"I'd rather see the Chief of Staff.'Rashad tells them"Dr.Jackson's in her office.I'm going to meet up with Mama and Grandma.Good to see you're doing well."Frank thanks Rashad and heads to Beth's office.Meanwhile in Beth's office,Michael has his pistol aimed at Beth and he yells"You are the one that deserves to die after all the hell you've put my family through."Beth sits back comfortably and sarcastically says to Michael"And you took after both of your parents.Just be glad the bitch is breathing!"Michael turns off the safety as Bree walks inside Beth's office and is horrified as she sees her Ex-Husband threatening Beth."Bree yells"Michael.I didn't think you'd be here."Michael turns around and sees Bree as Beth gets up and twists Michael's arm,as Michael drops the gun and it goes off,without hitting anyone.Beth warns Michael"Don't try that again with me Michael.Go see your Mother and when you need medical help,go to LaFayette!"Bree looks at Michael and says to him in disgust"You only sink lower and lower and seeing another woman that's old enough to be your Mother."Michael asks"How did you know about Lily?"Bree reminds him"I watch the races every weekend.I've seen her."Michael snaps back at Bree"I see you're supporting the woman who tried to steal your family legacy."Bree responds"Beth's kept my family together Michael and I see you have visitors."The ALPD has arrived and Beth tells them"Arrest Michael and I will be pressing charges."Frank and Ruth walks into Beth's office as Michael's read his rights and is hauled off,and Frank asks in shock"What happened here?"Beth tells them"Michael came here to kill me."Bree tells Beth"Since Uncle Frank and Grandma are here now.I'll make it brief and tell you I'm going to help you out if Desi comes after you."Bree heads out and Frank tells Ruth and Beth"Michael's changed and not for the better."Beth tells them"That's a Lane,Barr,whatever they like to call themselves for you."Beth gets to business and checks Frank out with Ruth watching on and tells Frank"I want you to go back to The Farm and relax.You look worn out.It will be awhile before you can get back to yourself again."Frank asks Beth"I thought I'd take the two of you out."Beth tells him"I'm about to leave and I have a stop to make and when I arrive,I'm cooking you dinner."Frank looks at her and says"I think I like that idea."Beth hugs Frank and Ruth tells Frank with a laugh"You heard the doctor."Frank and Ruth returns to The Farm as Beth gets a phone call from her Mother and heads to Tenny and Ciarra's Penthouse.
   Meanwhile at Chantel's,Cale and Allison has dinner together and they are discussing Desi and Michael.Allison quips to Cale"Aunt Desi has never been my favorite family member.She's going to be trouble and with Michael here and Rachel.."Cale tells Allison"So far I've learned that my family isn't crazy about Desi or her children."Cale asks Allison"Does Xavier or anyone know Desi's related to you?"Desi tells him"Frank knows about it.He seems not to care much."Cale warns Allison"If he knows,then it won't be long before Uncle Xavier,Aunt Beth,Aunt Ava.Allison tells Cale"Apparently,Beth's actually my Aunt from what Allan James told me."Cale looks at Allison and asks"How did your meeting go with him?"Allison looks down and says"He told me he was my Father.My Mom never told me that."Cale asks her"Do you believe him?"Allison slowly says"He seemed certain and sincere,but I had a Dad growing up.We had a great relationship and he died of cancer a few years after I started racing."Cale looks at Allison and tells her"This could be a second chance for you.Like with me and Frank.Don't cut him off.Don't forget Allan is a legend in the music world and if you get close to him,when he passes away,you'll get his royalties."Allison snaps at Cale"I'm not interested in his money.If he is my Father,then he's my Father,but I had a Dad and Allan can never fill that void."Cale grabs Allison's hand and comforts her as they look into each others eyes and they kiss and Cale pays their check as they head for his suite at The Sunset Club.Meanwhile,at The Inn,Allan sits at the bar and orders another drink and has his head down as he's visibly drunk and his phone rings and he ignores his Mother's call.
   At Hell Hill,Leigh and Xavier have been in bed for most of the day since he's returned,making love and Leigh tells Xavier"Isn't it nice to have these kind of moments."Xavier reminds his Wife,holding her close to him"Remember they don't last.Tomorrow I'll have to go back to work."Leigh stares at Xavier and says softly"I wish we could be alone like this more often with our kids and you not have to worry about keeping The Jackson and Sullivan family legacies alive.You put everyone else ahead of yourself X."Xavier tells Leigh"If I didn't do it,Father's family would have been destroyed and this beautiful home and all would be history.Luckily there's more in the family I can trust outside of you,Princess,and Ava."Leigh tells Xavier"Your Mother and all of your family that you count are watching after you.We got these hell raisers in my stomach to look forward too X."Xavier tells Leigh with a smile"I think that will be exciting to see when those two are born.I just hope we can keep up with them."Leigh assures him"I'm sure we will X.There's a knock on the bedroom door and it's the maid and tells Xavier"Here's dinner Mr.Jackson."Leigh looks at Xavier as he walks over to the bed and he says"La Trattoria will deliver sometimes with the right tip."Leigh looks at Xavier and tells him"You sure know how to impress a lady."Xavier tells his Wife"It's all because of you.And I will spoil you over and over.Leigh and Xavier hugs as they lay in bed and has dinner and ignores the outside the world as they enjoy their quiet time.
   At the ALPD,Michael has been booked and placed in a cell and Jesse arrives and the officer leads him to the visitation room.Michael walks inside and Jesse tears into him asking"What in the hell was you thinking pulling a gun out on the Chief of Staff at City Hospital in broad daylight?"Michael tells his Car Owner"The bitch kept my Mom in a coma and led my sister and I to believe she was dead.I wouldn't be surprised if Xavier had a part in it as well,knowing how he went after her after she tried to steal his company."Jesse shakes his head and warns Michael"You can't go bat crazy over this.Be glad your Mother's alive and well."Michael tells Jesse"I want Xavier and Beth to pay for the pain they've inflicted on my family.And they will."Jesse sternly looks at Michael and says to him"I want you to worry about getting me that Championship this year instead of worrying about getting even with Xavier Jackson and Frank Jackson's Ex!"Michael tells Jesse"I won't make any promises."Jesse tells Michael"I've posted your bail and you best stay out of trouble this week.We have a race to win!"The officer walks into the room and tells Michael"You're free to go."Michael and Jesse heads out and Michael finds his Mother at the desk and Desi runs to Michael and hugs him and says"I appreciate you standing up for me,but let me take care of Beth myself."Jesse stands back in awe as he looks at Michael's Mother and says to her"You're the famous Desi Lane?"Desi looks at Jesse and they look at each other for a moment and says to him"Thank you for getting Michael out of jail."Jesse tells Michael"Focus on the race Michael."Jesse walks out as he finds an attraction to Desi and tips his hat at her and she smiles as Michael looks at his Mother and Desi says to Michael"I'm glad you're driving for him."Michael and Desi heads for The Sunset Club for a drink.
  Meanwhile Beth's arrived at Ciarra and Tenny's Penthouse and walks in on Lily telling her Mother and Aunt"I got my ways of getting what's mine and this family needs to be exposed for who they really are!"Beth yells"So it is true after all!"Send Jamie and her adopted whore a message from me and all of you go find a hot coal and sit on it!"Lily walks out and tells Beth"You don't scare me!"Beth quips"You should be scared Lily.I'm watching your every move!"Lily gives her cousin a dismissive look as she walks out,heading back to The Sunset Club as Beth shuts the door behind Lily and tells Ciarra and Tenny"This is nice!You guys really have this place looking good."Tenny quips"I designed it myself.I wanted it to feel like a European paradise."Ciarra rolls her eyes and looks at Beth and asks her"Have you heard from Allan?"Beth tells them"I haven't heard from him."Tenny tells Beth in a tone of worry and concern"He came by earlier today and he's back on the booze."Beth rolls her eyes and says"It didn't go well with Allison I take it?"Tenny responds"It didn't and I'm scared it's going to drive him back into the alcohol and drugs again."Beth tells them"Allan has an addictive personality and apparently he and this woman had something."Tenny tells Beth"We're going to have to keep our eyes on him.I'm scared he's relapsing and it's booze now but knowing his history.."Beth gives Tenny a hug as does Ciarra and Beth assures her Mother"I will see what I can do.We've got enough problems already."Beth calls Allan,also to no response and Beth tells her Mother and Aunt"I've got to check on Frank and then I'll go looking for Allan."Tenny rolls her eyes and asks"You're not with him again are you?"Ciarra shakes her head at Tenny and quips"Shut up Tennessee."Beth gives her Mother and Aunt a hug and leaves and Beth heads to The Farm.Back inside,Tenny tells Ciarra"Both of my children are in trouble."Ciarra reminds Tenny"Be glad Beth has some people to lean on like Frank and Ruth!"Tenny is silent as she's scared for her children.
   Meanwhile Jamie and Rachel has returned to The Inn,and Jamie tells Rachel"I think we should celebrate our first accomplishment."Jamie sees Jesse and tells him"Party time.We got ourselves a deal with Lily Corbin to publish our book!"Jesse tells them"Good for you.I just had to bail my driver out of jail."Jamie looks worried and asks"What did Michael do?"Rachel asks"Michael Barr?My brother Michael?"Jamie nods and Jesse tells them"He went to City Hospital and pulled out his gun and threatened to kill Beth Jackson."Rachel smiles and says"This is the first time I can actually say I support my Brother."Jesse looks at Rachel with disgust and says"I think both of you are going to be screwed when this is all over and Michael will be screwed if he keeps this up."Meanwhile Desi and Michael returns to Allison's apartment and Michael notices Desi's quiet and asks"What are you thinking about Mom?"Desi quickly says"Nothing.I just want you to leave Beth alone and leave her to me.Only I can make the bitch suffer.You just listen to Jesse and get that Championship for me this year."Michael hugs her and Desi asks"Where's Allison at?"Both Michael and Desi wonders the same thought.As for Cale and Allison,they're in Cale's suite at The Sunset Club,both undressed and laying in the bed and Cale asks Allison after just having sex"Do you feel better now?"Allison tells Cale with a kiss"Much better than I did.I dread going back to my apartment with Aunt Desi there."Cale gets on top of Allison and says"You can stay here with me if you want?"Allison tells Cale,who's under his seductive spell"I think I'll take you up on it too."They continue to have passionate sex.Meanwhile back at The Farm,Frank walks into the kitchen and sees Ruth and Bree and asks his Mother"Beth promised dinner?Why are you cooking?"Ruth looks at Frank and tells him"She had to go check on Allan.She'll be here later."Frank tells Ruth and Bree"Allan is Allison North's biological Father and he used to be heavy on the drugs and alcohol in his rock and roll days.I take it things didn't go well with Allison."Frank worries for Beth.At a motel room,over The Inn,Allan is in a room and answers the door to a man with a hood over his head and gives Allan something and Allan pays him and the man quickly leaves.Allan sits on the couch and takes out the bag and dumps it on the coffee table,and takes out a razor.He calls Beth,who's driving to find him at his room,as she knows he's there after calling The Inn,and he answers and says"Big Sis,I'm fine."Beth then pulls over and stops and turns around and heads to The Farm and says to herself"Daddy,watch over Allan."

  At City Hospital,Beth has arrived in Frank's room and she walks over and says"I see you're awake and watching your favorite sport?"Frank tells Beth"Yeah I am.It keeps me going and I am ready to get out of this bed and back to FJR."Beth shakes her head and responds with a laugh"You are such a bad patient."Frank laughs"I know I am Beth."Beth walks over and grabs Frank's hand and says to him"I'm glad you made it.When you're back to 100%,we're going to have a discussion about Allison North."Frank rolls his eyes and asks"And why are we going to do that?"Beth tells Frank"Because Allison is my niece.And I want to know where you stand."Frank tells Beth"In all honesty Beth,my heart is yours."Beth kisses him and tells him,changing subject"Everything looks good this morning and I think you may get to go home soon."Frank asks"How soon?"Beth says to him"When I release you Frank!Don't rush it."Frank sighs with a laugh"You're the doctor."Beth nods and walks out.Meanwhile Frank receives a visitor and he walks in the room and says"I see you're back to yourself."Frank asks Michael"What are you doing here?"Michael says"I heard about what happened and wanted to check on you."Frank warns Michael"I am not in the mood to discuss the race.It happens and Cale won that race for me!"Michael asks Frank"Word in the garage is that he's your son?Is that true?"Frank nods and says"Yes it is.He's a good kid so lay off of him."Michael is silent and tells Frank"I can't make any promises on that."Frank looks at Michael with disappointment and says"Driving for Jesse Adams is changing you."Michael tells Frank"I'm glad you're well."Michael leaves and Frank shakes his head and says"Michael doesn't want to start anything with Cale."
   Meanwhile at The Exposer,Aretha is in her office with Ava as they are discussing the "trial" with Rachel.Ava tells Aretha"Don't publish anything Beth showed us from last night."Aretha assures Ava"I have no intentions to until Beth gives me the go ahead."Ava quips"She sure shocked me with that.I knew she was being too calm about the whole situation with Rachel and her family."Aretha sarcastically responds"And we both know why too don't we Ava?"Ava asks Aretha"Do you think Terrance knows about it?"Aretha sighs"Likely so.He is her right hand man at the hospital and I'd imagine both of them have been keeping her comfortable."Ava asks Aretha"I don't know why she didn't just kill her?"Aretha answers"Beth has always had some ethics when it comes to work.I just wonder how she pulled it off or if Xavier even knows about it."Ava responds"I wonder the same thing."
   Xavier meanwhile is with Leigh,Sully,and Jared at Chantel's as Sully fills them in on what happened at Rachel's "trial" after Leigh left.Xavier tells them"I haven't seen Rachel yet today.After I leave here I'm going over to FJR and then on to visit Rachel myself."Leigh tells Xavier"I plan to go to Class today and get back to work.I need to find something to do."Sully tells her Mother"You should consider modeling a line I'm working on for pregnant women.I had some sketches designed and wore a few myself when I was pregnant,but it'd get you back on the scene again."Leigh looks at Sully and tells her"I don't know if I want to model anymore.When these twins are born,I want to be with them and spend my time raising them.However I would like to get involved in the business side of things."Xavier encourages his Wife,telling Leigh"I think you should do it and stop procrastinating about it."Leigh tells her Husband with a kiss"Shouldn't you be off to work X?"Jared gets a call and tells Sully"I've got to head to the office.Ava's going to bring a developer in today for the Northbrook project."Xavier tells Jared"I'll be there later on."Jared kisses his wife and heads off and Leigh and Sully looks at Xavier and Leigh says"You go on yourself X.I want to have some time with Sully by myself."Xavier shrugs and hugs his Daughter and Wife and leaves.Sully tells her Mother"Since Daddy's left,I think you need to know something.Leigh notices a look in Sully's eye and asks"What do you not want him to know?"Sully tells Leigh"Last night after you left,Grandma revealed something I'm not sure Daddy knows about."Leigh warns her Daughter"Xavier and I have always been open with each other Sully.If you don't want him to know,you might not want to tell me."Sully tells her Mother about Beth's picture and shows it to Leigh on her phone,and Leigh gasps and is taken back.Leigh asks Sully"How do you feel about this?"Sully responds"Grandma told me she'd explain it to me and I'm going to meet her after I leave here."Leigh is suspicious and tells her Daughter"I want to know about this myself.Beth does have a protocol to follow working in a hospital.I just want to know if your Father knows about this."Sully responds cautiously"I do too."They leave for the hospital.
    At FJR,The Team Director is in the meeting room with Cale and Allison and the crew and he's going over the results from the race and tells Cale and Allison"I think you two made Frank proud with that great run.Xavier will be pleased.Especially with the bump and run on Michael."Cale asks"Does Xavier have a hatred for him?"Xavier walks in and overhears and says"Michael Barr is a goody goody ass kisser.Anytime someone punts him,it makes me happy."He congratulates the team and tells them"I wanted a 1,2 finish but I'll take what we got.Both of you finished strong and Xavier looks at them and says"I think if you guys keep this up,there's going to be a title sitting in the lobby at the end of the season."Cale tells Xavier"I'm going to drive like hell to get Dad his title."The Team Director tells them"Frank's never got a title as an owner.He got his 6 rings driving for others.He almost got the title with Michael but Michael never could pull it off."Cale assures everyone"I'll get it for him.And I don't like Barr's cocky ass in the first place."Xavier tells them"I'm heading off to meet up with someone.Frank is proud and I am too.Keep it up."Xavier leaves and the meeting's over and Cale and Allison heads back into the shop and Allison's crew chief tells her"Somebody wants to meet with you."Allison is puzzled and asks"Who is it?"The crew chief says"I know him.Ever heard of Allan James?"Cale and Allison are both shocked and asks"The rock legend Allan James?"The crew chief gets giddy and says"Yep that Allan James."Cale quips"I want to meet him too."Allison's crew chief tells Cale"He just wants to see Allison."Cale looks at Allison and says in a joking tone"I want to know all the details."Allison tells Cale"Don't worry about it Cale.I'll fill you in."Allison goes to meet with Allan at Chantel's as Cale walks around the shop and looks at his winning car and someone walks into the shop and yells angrily"You think I'd let you get away with that move you rookie?"Cale looks at Michael and warns him"You're not my team-mate so kiss my ass."Michael and Cale begin to argue and the Team Director walks into the room and Michael asks him"Since when does Frank Jackson condone his drivers pulling off moves like that?"Cale snarks"I do what I have to do so get over yourself bridesmaid!"Michael punches Cale and Cale punches back and a fight breaks out between them and Xavier,who has returned to the shop walks in and sees the fight and yells at Michael"You have no damn right being here.Get the hell out of here!"Michael turns around and yells at Xavier"So you're the one running things here?Now I understand.I take it you also give team orders too since you like to drive people off the road like my Mom!"Xavier looks at Michael and puts his hand in his pocket and sternly tells Michael"Your Mother was the one that ran me off the road.And as long as I'm running the ship,you're barred from here."Michael notices Xavier's hand in his pocket and says"So you want to kill me too?"Xavier is silent and Cale warns Michael"You need to get your ass out of here traitor."Xavier looks at Cale and says to him"It's Uncle Xavier now or X.Whatever you want to call me."Michael shakes his head in disgust as the crew escorts him out."Xavier tells Cale"I heard you're due for a date with Grandma this morning?"Cale says"Yes I am."Xavier walks Cale out as Xavier heads to Hell Hill as Cale heads to The Farm to meet with Ruth.
   At City Hospital,Frank is in his room watching the TV as Terrance and Rashad checks his vitals and Terrance tells his nephew"Your turn to give the report."Rashad tells Frank"It looks like you may be getting released tonight."Terrance replies though"Most likely tomorrow though.I think you should stay overnight for observation before release."Frank shakes his head and asks"Well can I get out of this bed?"Terrance tells him with a laugh"I think that'd be fine as long as you don't plan an escape."Frank gets out of bed and holds on to a walker as Rashad walks with Frank down the hall and Frank asks Rashad"So you're interning to become a doctor."Rashad responds"Yep."Frank tells Rashad"You should have considered racing.Your Grandfather was one of the best drivers I ever seen.He was a legend in Adam's Landing in the days when Moonshine running was popular.Wasn't for him,I'd never became a race car driver."Rashad is curious and asks"Tell me more."Frank tells Rashad about Sidney as they walk around the hospital.Meanwhile Terrance returns to his office and finds Aretha sitting in the office and Terrance asks his Sister"I guess Mama told you I come out to her last night."Aretha hugs him and says"I heard that.I'm proud of you."Terrance thanks Aretha for her support and Aretha changes subjects and asks Terrance"So who's the mystery patient?"Terrance acts surprised and asks"What mystery patient?"Aretha tells Terrance"Beth has already told me about her.What's up with that?"Terrance looks down and says to Aretha"Whatever you know,you don't say a word about it!"Aretha assures her Brother"You have my word."Terrance answers"Good!When it does come out,my job as well as Beth's could be on the line!"Aretha promises Terrance"We have strong connections in Adam's Landing Terrance.I don't think you have much to worry about."Terrance sighs"I hope so."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 112. Family Ties And Inquisition

   At City Hospital, Frank is sitting in the bed as the TV's on and catching up on the race results. Frank asks Willie "Shouldn't you be with Sidney instead of being here with me?" Willie tells Frank "Ruth didn't want you to be by yourself. And I finally hired someone to help out with Sidney." Frank asks Willie "How is Sidney doing?" Willie looks down and tells Frank "The Alzheimer's is getting worse and worse every day. He barely speaks and I sometimes pray the lord takes him. It heartbreaking to watch him sit there and not remember who he is or where he is." Frank tells Willie "I'm sure he knows you and Terrance and Aretha." Willie smiles at Frank and says "He does but he can't acknowledge it." Terrance walks in Frank's room and sees Frank and tells him "Good to see you're awake." Frank tells Terrance with a smile "Good to be awake and seeing those race results makes me feel better." Terrance then looks at his Mother and asks her "Mama,are you planning on staying overnight?" Willie tells her son "Only until Ruth or one of the family comes back. She didn't want Frank to be by himself." Frank quips "I don't think I'm going anywhere unless Michael comes to Adam's Landing tonight and wants to fight with Cale after that race." Terrance quickly says to Frank "I think everything's covered at FJR." Terrance asks his Mother,remembering what Beth had told him a few days prior "Mama can I see you in my office? I want to talk to you about something." Frank motions for Willie to go along with Terrance, telling her "I don't plan on escaping." Willie and Terrance heads to his office as Frank sits up and watches the TV and a visitor walks into the room and Frank asks him "What are you doing here?" Cale tells his Father "I thought you might want this." Cale gives Frank the trophy from his race win and Frank's silent and asks Cale "What has humbled you?" Cale responds "Your brother has his ways of humbling people." Frank laughs and says "Yes he does." Cale sits by Frank's side and they begin to get to know each other.

   Meanwhile all the ladies has met up at Ava's house as Beth and Ruth has arrived. Sully, Leigh, Tenny, and Aretha have already shown up and Tenny asks Ava "Has our guest of honor arrived yet." Ava looks at them and quips "Let's go to my basement and find out." They head down the stairs into Ava's basement. With her arms tied to the chair in the middle of the room and out cold from Jack's injection sits Rachel. Jack is down there and Ava tells everyone "Looks like the whore's asleep." Beth tells everyone "The drug should begin to wear off shortly." Jack gives Beth the syringe as she checks it and tells Jack "You did everything right, as she checks where he injected her and all the ladies stand around as Rachel is out and Ava gets excited and tells everyone,as Rachel begins to awaken "Looks like our guest is ready to answer some questions." Rachel looks around the room and notices her wrists are tied tightly to the chair and is silent. Ava asks Rachel "Are you comfortable?" Rachel looks at Jack and says to him "You lied to me?" Jack tells Rachel "Yes I did." Ava quips with pride "That's my son." Aretha's the first one to start the Inquisition and says calmly yet with anger in her voice to Rachel "You shouldn't be upset about this. You had no trouble coming to town and drugging people like Xavier, and my son, drugging them." Rachel angrily hisses at Aretha "You backstabbing bitch. I read that article you wrote on your website!" Aretha delivers a slap to Rachel and tells her coldly ,getting in her face "What's really bad is that your book's been taken off the bookshelves and you have lost all your allies." Ava stands back and smiles, while playing with her cigarette lighter and quips to Rachel, holding her book and setting it on fire "We've made our money Rachel. Now you're about to pay for the pain you've caused all of us in this room." Rachel yells "All of you are crazy! Sully walks over to Rachel and tells her sternly "What I don't like to see bitch, is my Daddy upset over your selfish actions. You are just like your Mother." Rachel angrily responds "Go cut yourself you psycho! I didn't want the damn kid anyway. I only wanted to get back at my Mother." Sully delivers a blistering slap to Rachel and pulls out a razor blade and cuts Rachel on the face and asks her,losing her temper "How does if feel Rachel? It's been my relief. Maybe you should take it up and do all of us a favor!" Rachel yells for help and Ava looks down and shakes her head and tells Rachel coldly "Nobody's going to help you Rachel. Nobody." Rachel looks around the room as she sees Ava, Aretha,Beth, Ruth, Sully, Leigh, Tenny, and Jack and she yells at them "All of you will pay for this! I mean all of you!" Ruth pulls a pistol out of her purse and says to Rachel "The only one in this room that's about to pay for anything is you." Rachel is quiet as Ruth tells Rachel calmly with anger in her voice "If my son had of died, I'd killed you myself you ungrateful bitch! You make me sick. You had an abortion on an innocent child, just to stick it to my family. Dear that doesn't work here." Rachel looks at Ruth and responds "You're not even related to Xavier.Your dear B.R, slept with your son's wife and out came Xavier. Maybe Dr. Beth should have had an abortion and saved you some grief." Ava gets heated and walks over to Rachel and warns her "You won't dare talk to my Mama like that." Ava hits Rachel and Ruth backs up and takes a deep breath and heads upstairs,telling everyone "I need a break." Beth sends a text meanwhile and looks at Rachel and is silent, staring at her intently with red in her eyes as Leigh keeps Sully calm and Leigh now walks over to Rachel and Rachel asks Leigh "And the one person I thought had some sanity is about to let loose?" Leigh tells Rachel "I didn't judge you for what you did Rachel. I didn't do anything to you. I would have helped you and been there for you. But you hurt Xavier beyond words. He didn't deserve that." Rachel replies "Blame Ava for the abortion." Leigh gets angry and Beth tells Leigh "Head back home. You don't need this stress." Leigh heads upstairs and Sully tells everyone with her anger growing "Let's finish her off." Tenny, who's been watching everything unfold, says "I think it's time for the big gun." All the ladies agrees and Rachel looks around the room,with fear beginning to grow as to what will happen next.

   Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Xavier sits in his study,as he is getting texts from Ava and the family as to how things are going regarding Rachel's "trial". In the living room, Ciarra is sitting in front of the TV and Lily helps herself inside and Ciarra asks her Daughter "What are you doing here?" Lily tells her Mother "Looks like nobody's here. We can have a heart to heart." Ciarra politely asks Lily to leave, saying "I don't have anything to say to you after all the pain and hurt you've caused me." Lily sits down next to her Mother and says to her "I want to discuss your shares in Jim's and Jackson Inc. I think with your advanced age, you can't handle them and you should let me control them." Lily pulls out a form of papers and tells Ciarra, giving her a pen "Sign these papers and you'll have less to worry about." Ciarra puts on her glasses and begins to read them and gets to a line saying "incompetent". Ciarra gets angry and looks at Lily and rips the papers up as Lily gets angry and says "Look you senile old woman.." Xavier comes out of the study and pulls out his Colt 45 and warns Lily "Get your worthless ass out of my house now!" Lily yells back "Stay out of this Xavier!" Leigh comes in the house in a fury and Xavier tells his Great-Aunt, who's upset at Lily's insults "Tend to Leigh. I'll handle Lily." Ciarra follows Leigh as Xavier sternly tells Lily "I warned you once and I won't warn you again. I heard everything you were saying to your Mother. Either you leave alive or you leave dead. Make your choice." Lily looks at Xavier and says "You are one evil bastard to threaten family like that." Xavier tells Lily coldly "You're not family to me! You are someone on borrowed time if you keep this act up. Lily leaves,slamming the door and Xavier goes to check on Leigh and Ciarra.

   At City Hospital, Frank and Cale are in Frank's room and Cale has told Frank of his life, telling Frank "My Aunt and Uncle raised me and it was bad. My Uncle was a drug-addict and my Aunt left when I was young and left me with him and he was cruel." Frank is attentive and tells Cale "I knew Claudia was pregnant and then she said she lost the child after she left for some time. Cale if I knew you were alive.." Cale stops Frank and tells him "I know you've been there. Xavier explained everything to me Frank." Frank starts to get emotional and tells Cale "This win does make me proud. I want us to get to know each other. I want to make up for the lost time." Cale tells his Father "I'm sorry about how we started things off. I let my emotions get the best of me sometimes." Frank tells Cale "That trait you inherited from me." Both of them laughs and Ruth returns to Frank's room and asks Cale "What in the hell are you doing here?" Frank tells his Mother "We're bonding. He gave me this trophy." Ruth walks over to Cale and tells him "I'm glad to see this. Now you're going to have to bond with me." Frank warns Cale with a laugh "She's going to be a tough one to deal with." Ruth says "I was watching the two of you and Cale, welcome to our family." Ruth hugs Cale and tells him "You're now my Grandson and you have a family and never forget that." Cale promises his Grandmother "I don't plan to." Ruth asks Frank "Where's Willie?" Frank tells her "Terrance went to talk to her in his office." Ruth tells Cale "You go rest after that race. I want us to have breakfast tomorrow and take you on a tour of the farm." Cale accepts and says "Frank or I should say Dad told me you were an excellent cook." Ruth smiles and says "See you tomorrow Cale." Cale leaves with a feeling of content as Frank asks Ruth "How was your dinner with Beth?" Ruth responds "It was great. Ladies night." Frank tells his Mother "You should go rest yourself. You look tired." Ruth asks Frank "Sure you don't want me to stay?" Frank laughs "You've got to show my son around the farm tomorrow. Go home." Ruth shrugs "If you insist." She hugs her son and says "I'm glad you're alive Frank." Frank replies "I'm glad I'm still here." Ruth leaves and Frank lays in the bed and is silent, thinking of Cale and says "I'm going to be there for him. My son." Frank turns off the TV and goes to sleep."

   Meanwhile at City Hospital, Willie and Terrance are in his office as Terrance has informed his Mother of Rashad's arrival and Willie notices something with Terrance and asks her son "What do you want to tell me Terrance?" Terrance stumbles on his words and Willie looks at Terrance and asks him "Is this about Sidney?" Terrance looks at his Mother and says "No. It's about me.I've needed to tell you for many years about this." Willie gets worried and asks her son "What is it?" Terrance looks up and takes a deep breath and has a flashback to his talks with Aretha and Beth and finally comes out to his Mother,t elling her "Mama,I'm gay." Willie is taken back and is silent and looks at her son and asks him "Are you joking?" Terrance calmly says "I'm not kidding Mama. I have always been gay and I've never known how to tell you." Willie tells Terrance, as she's confused "I don't understand. I mean you're attractive and you could have any woman you want." Terrance says "It isn't about that Mama. I've known since I was in college. I was scared of telling you." Willie looks at Terrance and says "In my day, homosexuality was a sin Terrance. I was raised to frown upon it but you're my son. You've helped me out so much with your Daddy and I don't understand any of this, but you're my son nonetheless and I love you." Terrance starts to cry and says "You don't know what it means to me to have you accept this." Willie sighs "I haven't kept up well with the times but be careful son. There are people who will discriminate because of it. One thing is being black and another being gay. Down here people are closed minded." Terrance tells his Mother "I know Mama. I've had my share of trouble over the years but I've overcome." Willie hugs her son and tells him lovingly "You're my son and that's all that matters. I love you regardless if you're gay or straight." Terrance and Willie hugs as Terrance cries on his Mother's shoulder, as he's relieved his mother has accepted it and he can finally be open with her.

   Back at Hell Hill, Xavier is in the kitchen and asks his Wife "How did things go at Ava's?" Leigh shakes her head and says "X I had to get out of there. That girl is heartless. She makes me sick." Ciarra says to Leigh "I haven't heard from Tennessee or Beth yet." Leigh tells Ciarra and Xavier "It was tense in the basement." Xavier receives a text from Country and Xavier hugs Ciarra and Leigh and kisses her stomach and tells them "Now it's my turn to visit with Rachel." At Ava's, It's down to Ava, Aretha, Beth, Sully, and Tenny as Rachel yells at all of them "You all are crazy! I hope all of you get what's coming to you after this!" Beth finally speaks and pulls out her phone and shows a picture to Rachel and asks "Do you know who that is Rachel?" Beth shows the photo to everyone in the room and Sully is shocked as Beth tells them "Ava's not the only one who'd go to great lengths to protect her family." Rachel yells at them "I will expose you Beth.Just wait until I get out of here!" Ava quips "We're not finished yet Rachel. You still have to face Xavier." Tenny walks over and slaps Rachel and steps back and sarcastically responds "I had to get one in for the hell of it. I'm going home. Allan's returned." Tenny leaves and Aretha looks at Beth and says "I thought she was dead?" Beth looks at Rachel and says to her coldly "Your family have hurt Xavier and Sully countless times over the years and I'd be damned to let it happen again!" Ava looks at Beth with an evil grin and laughs "I see you and I share the same feelings for Rachel's lovely family." Rachel looks at all of them with disgust and yells "I'm going to destroy all of you!" Sully tells Rachel "You're the one getting destroyed bitch." Country arrives and Beth pulls out a syringe and injects Rachel again, knocking her out and tells Country "You know where to take her. Xavier's waiting." Country picks Rachel up and carries her off as Ava, Beth, Sully, and Aretha sits back and Ava says "I think Rachel's beginning to learn about us." Sully asks her Grandmother, changing subject to the picture "Why didn't you just kill her?" Beth tells Sully "As a doctor, I made an oath to save lives. I'll explain this to you tomorrow. Let's all go home and call it a night." Everyone leaves and Ava walks them out and sees Jack,who had went upstairs and sitting on the couch without much emotion and Ava asks her son"Are you ok Jack?"Jack says to his Mother"Never better.She deserved it."Ava and Jack sits down and Ava hugs her son and they call it a day."

  At Class,Ava is in her office as Jack arrives and gives his Mother a hug and tells her"I don't know why I didn't listen to you when you warned me about Rachel."Ava sighs and tells him"You wanted love Jack.Someone to love.Sometimes we fall for the wrong people.I've made my mistakes,especially with some of my loves."Jack sits down and looks at Ava and asks"Are you talking about Dad or Russell Marx?"Ava opens up to her son and responds"I'd say Winston.Although in the beginning,he took good care of me after what happened with Jamie and all,but when I met Chant and when I returned here to Adam's Landing and found Winston,Chant,and Jamie all conspiring,I knew then that Winston only loved the fact that since he was married to me,he had room to make power grabs.What he didn't know though was how smart I was.I took after my Daddy when it came to business and don't forget at one time,I was one of the most powerful businesswomen in the state."Jack tells his Mother"You have made one hell of a comeback Mom."Ava tells her son humbly"I just try to be there for my family Jack."Ava changes subjects and tells Jack"I need you to do something for me Jack."Jack looks at his Mother and asks"What are you plotting?"Ava tells him of the meeting she had with everyone earlier and tells him his part in the plan."Jack looks at his Mother quizzically and is quiet for a moment and agrees."Ava tells Jack"You play your part and the whore will fall for it."Jack heads out and Ava sits back and smiles,knowing the plan is in motion.
