   Meanwhile,Jared arrives at Class to check on his wife as Sully asks"Where's Aunt Ava?She will know how to handle this!"Jared looks at Sully and assures"I'm here baby.Desi isn't taking a damn thing from you.Ava was filling in today for Xavier since he's staying home with Leigh."Sully briefly sighs of relief and then tells her Husband"At least he's relaxing.I got Desi covered so none of you need to worry and Grandma and Aunt Ava as well as Gran are gunning for Desi and Rachel.I'm confident the bitch gets the memo!"Jared asks Sully"I take it your visit with Desi didn't go well?"Sully tells Jared"She came here to try to get sympathy for her company and I told her to go to hell."Jared laughs"Sounds like my Wife."They kiss and hold onto each other as Jared assures Sully"You're stronger than you realize.Desi has no clue what she's up against."
   Back at Jackson Inc,Ava and Bobby discuss Burt and Bobby tells Ava"I have suspected something with Burt for awhile.He's too quiet."Bobby shows something to Ava and she tells Bobby"Looks like theft to me."Bobby tells Ava"He's covering for something."Ava does some research and finds some information on Burt's past and reveals to Bobby"He's being used in a scheme to take money from the company,noticeably Jim's.Bobby tells Ava,putting the pieces together"Look up to see if his divorce was ever finalized with Lily Corbin?"Ava looks it up and tells Bobby"Lily never signed the papers.She has access to his bank account."Ava is stunned and tells Bobby"One of us needs to let him know about this or tell Xavier."Bobby tells Ava"Xavier's taking a day of rest with Leigh and we will point this out to Burt when he comes in.Burt walks in the office and Bobby and Ava shows him the information and Burt is furious.Burt looks at the divorce decree and notices Lily didn't use her real name,therefore making the divorce void.Burt tells Ava and Bobby"Lily has a contract with Winston Hale and a new publishing company he's starting and this is nothing new.She will pay for this when I confront her."Burt fills Ava and Bobby in on his meeting with Winston earlier,and Ava tells Burt"Let's go along with it and then expose it.When one thinks they're on top,eventually they mess up and Lily Corbin will do that as will Winston."Burt shakes his head in disgust as he is in disbelief over what he's learned.
   Meanwhile at The Sunset Club,Lily is sitting with Winston in the back of the lounge and they are talking amongst themselves as Lily notices Jamie and Rachel arriving and tells Winston"I think it's game time now."Lily walks up and warmly greets Jamie and Rachel as they sit at a table and Lily tells them"We all share something in common and with this deal,we can all be set!"Jamie agrees and says"It's only started.At Allison's,Desi has caught Michael up on what happened after the car accident and Michael is in a rage and tells his Mother"Beth Jackson will regret this."Michael leaves in a fury,heading to the hospital to confront Beth and Allison tells her Aunt"I am only giving you room and board and that is it until you get your life back."Desi tells her niece"Michael has always taken good care of me.He will do his part.As for Rachel,I doubt she even cares unless it reads dollar signs."Back at Class,Sully and Jared are laying on the couch after making love and Sully tells Jared"You know how to take care of me."Jared looks at Sully and asks her"Don't you ever get nervous someone will walk in on us when we make love at the office?"Sully puts her fingers on his lips and assures him"I don't worry about anything when I'm with you."Sully kisses Jared as they lay on the couch together.At City Hospital,Beth is in her office as Aretha has left and Rashad arrives and Beth tells him"Your Mother was here earlier.She is expecting you at her office."Rashad heads out and Beth checks her messages to find a few updates from Terrance.All of a sudden,Michael kicks in Beth's door and aims his pistol and threatens Beth,telling her with anger in his voice"You are about to regret ever leading me to believe my Mother was dead!"Beth looks at Michael in silence as her hands are under the desk and she presses a button for security."
