  Back at City Hospital,Terrance is in his office and Rashad arrives and Terrance asks him"How's Mama and Aretha?"Rashad tells his uncle"Grandma's still hurting and Mama's staying with her.She's having a hard time with Grandpa's passing."Terrance responds"We all are but they were married 64 years so it's quite the adjustment."Rashad agrees and tells his uncle"I came down here to also tell you I'm leaving the medical field."Terrance is shocked and asks his nephew"Why are you leaving?"Rashad tells Terrance"After talking to Frank a few weeks ago about Grandpa and all,I want to race for him at FJR."Terrance isn't pleased and says"You haven't never raced before Rashad.Why take a gamble like that when you have it made here?"Rashad says"I want to do it for Grandpa and at least see if I have the gift."Terrance rolls his eyes and takes a deep breath and tells Rashad"Try it and see what happens.You will have a place here if things don't work out."Rashad hugs his uncle and leaves and on his way down the hall he sees Sassy and she asks"Rashad?I didn't know you were here."Rashad tells Sassy"I didn't know you're going to be a nurse."Sassy laughs and quips"Beats waiting tables and managing a sleazy diner."Both of them laughs and Sassy tells Rashad"Latoya's on her way home."Rashad is happy and tells Sassy"I've missed her.I haven't been in touch with her as I'd liked with all that's been going on."Sassy tells him"I know Rashad.But expect a lecture from her when she arrives."Rashad rolls his eyes and heads back to be with Willie and Aretha and Sassy walks into Terrance's office and says proudly"Look who's working for City Hospital!"Terrance looks at Sassy and says"Glad to have you on board."Terrance is silent and Sassy catches something and asks Terrance"What's bothering you?"Terrance quickly says"I need you to go check on Winston Hale and Burt Corbin."Sassy heads off and Terrance has a flashback and starts to cry at his desk.
  Meanwhile,Summer arrives at the ALPD and asks the officer"Where's Mr.Marx."The officer responds"He's in his office."Summer heads back and she finds her Father sitting at his desk and she asks him"What's going on?"Russell looks at Summer and says angrily"I'm about to expose the Jackson Family and I'm going to show them they can't control Adam's Landing anymore!"Summer changes subject and tells him"I got a job interview today at Class."Russell is happy for her,but he's still reading files and says to Summer"Your Mother deserves justice and she's going to get it!"Summer agrees and Russell and Summer leaves for an early lunch.At Chantel's,Desi meets up with Chant and he asks Desi"Did you think about my proposal?"Desi tells Chant"I am in.I want Lane's back and I will do it however I can."They sit at the bar and discuss strategy and then Russell and Summer walks inside and Chant looks at Desi,as Desi looks also at Russell and Summer and Chant says"I seen her earlier at Class.I think she could be our mole."Desi smiles and nods.

  Meanwhile,Ava has returned to Winston's room and she sees that Winston's awake and Winston asks Ava"Where did you go?"Ava tells him"Leigh gave birth today."Winston lays back and says"I'm glad you got a chance to have some enjoyment instead of sitting down here with an old man."Ava looks at Winston and says"I talked to Bree and Mama and they hold no grudges and Jamie's now in the past."Ava meanwhile asks Winston"Where did Jack go?"Winston responds"I think he went out for awhile.I told him to."Ava rolls her eyes and says to Winston"I don't know what it is or what it was,but something is different about you."Winston tells Ava,grabbing her hand"I saw my future and those who care about me and I'm changing my ways."Ava looks at him quizzically and says to him"The weird thing is that I believe you."Winston tells Ava"You were the best thing to ever happen to me and it's time for a new start."Ava agrees and Winston tells her"You go home and rest Ava.You don't have to stay here with me."Ava looks at him and says sternly"I have no intentions of going anywhere.I am here until you return home with me."Winston looks into Ava's eyes as Ava looks at Winston and they kiss.

   At The Sunset Club,Russell is in his suite,as he's finished his day at the ALPD and Summer walks in the room and Russell asks his daughter"Where have you been Summer?"Summer smiles and says"I was catching up with the family."Russell quickly says"I don't believe that at all."Summer responds"Who cares?I heard that the family are all together celebrating the birth of Xavier's children."Russell looks at Summer and says"When you were born,only one member of your Mom's family was there and that was Brock Jr.Frank was the only other one that supported us."Summer asks"How is Uncle Brock?"Russell is reading files and says"Currently,he's in Unity Prison and he's going to be there for awhile."Summer heads to her room and Russell asks"Where are you going?"Summer yawns and says"I need to rest up.I'm going job hunting in the morning."Summer goes into her room,and looks at her tablet and says"I'm going to work for cousin Sully.She won't know me."Meanwhile Russell looks at some files and finds Xavier's donations and says in a vengeful tone"It's time to right the wrongs that smug bastard's made."Russell makes a phone call and says"I want you to release someone."
  Meanwhile back at City Hospital,Winston is taken by Ava to Burt's room and finds that Jack's there and Burt looks at them and says in shock"How did you know it was me?"Winston tells Burt"I saw you."Burt tells Winston"You don't have to thank me for what I did.I seen the hurt in Ava's eyes and after going with her to Europe,I did this because I know what it's like for a kid to lose his Father."Jack tells Burt"I will always be grateful to you for what you've done."Burt looks at Jack and says"I wouldn't have it any other way."Winston tells Ava to take him back to his room and Ava does and tells Burt"You are a great man.I can't begin to thank you enough."Ava and Jack heads back with Winston to his room as Winston gets back in bed and tells Ava and Jack"I'm going to sleep.Hopefully I'm released tomorrow."Meanwhile in Burt's room,Burt has a flashback to his childhood and is silent as he says"Could it be?"
  In Xavier and Leigh's room,Xavier,Leigh,and Sully are together and they reflect on the day and Leigh says to her husband and daughter"I hope Tenny isn't corrupting Gracie and Little X in the nursery."Xavier jokes"That is likely just what she's doing."Sully tells them"Gran's not acting like herself."Xavier tells Sully"She doesn't like to show her sensitive side much.She holds much in and she's a great actress."Leigh agrees as does Sully and Sully gives her parents a hug,as she heads home for the night and Leigh and Xavier are alone and Xavier lays next to his wife in her bed and Leigh says to Xavier"Remember those two in the nursery?"Xavier kisses Leigh and says"I just want to be next to my beautiful wife and hold you."They lay together in Leigh's bed as both falls asleep.Meanwhile in the nursery,Tenny sits in a rocking chair,as the nurse is besides her as she takes turns holding Gracie and Xavier Jr.She tells the babies in a gentle tone"You two are Sullivans,and Martins,and Jacksons.You two have warmed my heart and I am going to be there for you all the time and I'll even let you two call me Granny,but I'd prefer you call Ruth or Aunt Ciarra that."Allan and Beth walks in as they watch their Mother with the babies and Beth sheds a tear and Allan watches on as both are shocked and they say to each other quietly,as Tenny's rocking the babies to sleep"Mama's full of surprises."

  In Allison's room,Tenny has arrived and she walks over to Allan and says"I'm about to be a Grandma again."She turns and looks at Allison and she asks Tenny"Who are you?"Tenny strokes Allison's head and says"I'm your Grandmother."Olivia holds onto Allan and Allan is in shock as Cale stands by and watches and Olivia says"She helped your career get started when she owned the Discount Store,Sullivan's."Tenny tells Allison"You look just like me when I was in my 20s."Allison is silent and looks at her as they look at each other and Desi walks in the room and asks"How is Allison?"Olivia turns around as does everyone in the room and Tenny gives an evil glare to Desi and warns"I got a new friend that bites.Precious does as Mommy says."Allan,Cale and Allison looks at each other and at Tenny and Allan says"She's talking about her new "kid".Meanwhile Olivia angrily and quietly asks her sister"What in the hell are you doing here?"Olivia nudges Desi into the hallway,and Tenny follows,although Allan and Cale try to stop her,but to no avail,and Olivia and Tenny stands outside as Olivia tears into Desi saying"After what Michael has done to my daughter and the nerve of you to show up?"Desi asks"What did he do?"Olivia yells"He's the reason my Daughter's career may be over!"Tenny looks at Olivia and looks at Desi and says with a snarl in her tone"Just wait until we meet on the street corner as Percy's is down the street.Precious and I are going to meet you for breakfast."Olivia tells her sister sternly"After your past with our family and stealing our parent's store from them,to raising two children who are an embarrassment to the Lane family,and how your son possibly being the reason Allison may never race again,your nothing to me and it makes me sick to know you're related to me!"Desi walks off and Tenny turns around to Olivia and says with a look in her eye"Wow!I think I already like you."Olivia and Tenny returns to Allison's room as Desi heads down to the hallway and walks by the nursery window and sees Xavier's family together,as a nurse says"I love these moments."Desi stands and thinks of Bren,her daughter with Xavier and sheds a tear as she leaves the hospital to see Jesse.
   In the nursery,Beth,Frank,Sully,Jared,Ava,Bree,and Ciarra are waiting for the babies to be brought in and Xavier and Leigh comes out into the nursery with each holding a baby and Xavier tells his family"Meet my new son Xavier Brock Jackson Jr,and Gracie Beth Jackson.Everyone heart melts and Beth cries as does Ruth and the family gathers around as Xavier is holding Xavier Jr.,and Leigh hands Gracie to Beth and Beth holds her granddaughter with Ciarra and Frank standing by her side,holding her as they look at Gracie,and Beth rocks her Granddaughter gently and says"My little Gracie Beth."Meanwhile Xavier hands Xavier Jr to Ruth and Ruth looks at him and says softly"He's a Jackson.He looks like his Grandfather.Ava and Bree stand by her and look at him and Ruth looks up and B.R's spirit is behind her,and he touches her and disappears,and smiles and says"This is my Little Brock.He will be a great man like his namesakes."Jared and Sully holds onto each other tightly as Xavier and Leigh holds onto each other as all of them celebrate the newest additions to the Jackson and Sullivan family dynasties.

  At City Hospital in the Maternity Ward,Leigh wakes up and sees her husband laying in the chair besides her and says"I thought you'd be at work this morning."Xavier wakes up and wipes his eyes and says"Work?Not when my wife's on the verge of delivering those little fighters inside."Leigh smiles as she grabs Xavier's hand and they kiss and Sully arrives with breakfast and is upset and Xavier asks"What's wrong Princess?You look like you didn't sleep well?"Sully tells them"Last night,Jared forgot to lock the door and we had a visitor.I walked in the living room and there was a doberman pincher tearing up some designs I had on the coffee table."Leigh and Xavier both looks puzzled and Sully continues"I checked the tag once I found something to keep him from growling at me and apparently his name is Precious and belongs to Gran.I took him back over there and Gran told me that Precious was the king of the tower."Leigh and Xavier laughs and tells their daughter"A dog will do her good.As long as she doesn't spoil him too much."Sully quickly quips"He's got a playroom and his own king size bed.And he's spoiled?"Leigh laughs as does Xavier and eventually Sully,and the OBGYN arrives and tells Leigh"Are you ready to deliver these babies?"Leigh sighs with relief"Oh yes!"Oh yes I am!"Sully tells her parents"Jared will be by later,he went down to Jackson Inc and then he's coming here."Beth meanwhile arrives and she gives Xavier,Leigh,and Sully a hug and reads Leigh's vitals and tells the OBGYN"How much longer am I going to have to wait to see the newest additions to my family?"The OBGYN tells them"Right now we're close,and I expect it to be anytime."Beth tells the OBGYN"I'm going to stay here and when she starts having contractions,I'll call you."The OBGYN nods and leaves and Beth asks Xavier and Leigh with excitement"Have you two picked out the names yet?"Xavier looks at Leigh and they both say"We haven't discussed it.We've decided to make that decision when they arrive like we did when Sully was born."Beth smiles and looks at her Granddaughter and tells her"When you came into the world,your parents named you after your Grandfather.We couldn't call you J.D.,so we called you Sullivan."Sully smiles and they all beam with excitement as Beth tells them"I'm going to check on Allison and I'll be back shortly."Beth leaves and Xavier,Leigh,and Sully all wait anxiously as Leigh's now due at any moment.
  Meanwhile at Jackson Inc,Jared is in his office and keeping things afloat and there's a knock at the door.Summer walks in the room and tells Jared with a smile"I see you've moved up in the world."Jared looks at Summer and reminds her"Like I told you I'm married now."Summer says"I know,to Sully Jackson,Xavier's spoiled daughter."Jared gets up from his desk and angrily tells Summer"For one thing Summer Marx,Sully is far from spoiled and I'll have your ass thrown out of here if you insult her in front of me again.You need to leave."Summer walks over to Jared and tells him"I read about when Desi tried to steal my family's company and my former cousin turned uncle gave her Lane's and now calls it Class.I do know how to work a computer Jared."Jared warns Summer"Look,what we had years ago is over now.I love Sully and she's my soul mate."Summer gets closer to Jared and opens her trench coat and in a flirting tone asks him"I know you missed this."Jared is silent for a moment and then quickly tells Summer"Look it's over now and you need to move on!"Summer looks at Jared and blows him a kiss and says"I have my ways of getting what I want and I want you back with me!"Summer struts out and Jared sits back down and shakes his head in silence and gets back to work and calls Ava and checks on his Grandfather and hangs up and is glad that his bone marrow transplant was successful and tells Ava"Tell Grandfather I'll stop by later."Jared hangs up and receives a text from Sully that says"Mom's having contractions."Jared stops what he's doing and leaves his office and heads to the hospital.As Jared leaves,Summer is waiting in the hall and Jared doesn't see her and Summer follows behind him.
  At FJR,Frank is the shop with Bobby and the President of The Racing League and the President tells Frank"From what I've seen,everything down here looks like it meets up to code."Frank tells the President,who was at one time a crew chief"I have always stayed in the gray,but I would never cheat and we both know that."The President looks at Frank and tells him"Frank,I've known you for 40 years and I know for a fact you're not a cheater.You have lost enough with both of your drivers injured and I wouldn't put it past Jesse's team to tamper with someone's car.He did it to my driver years ago back at the old fairgrounds."Bobby turns on the TV and they all watch the accident and the president tells Frank and Bobby"That hit was intentional.Whoever decided to fine you was full of it."The President of the Racing League tells Frank"The fine and the disqualification has been dropped.I'm going back to Southpoint Beach and talk to the board and we're going to have a discussion with Jesse about this and Michael will pay for his actions."Frank thanks him and The President leaves and Bobby tells Frank"That went over better than I expected."Frank tells him"We go way back.He earned the role as President for a reason and he knows how it is being in racing because he was a racer himself."Bobby asks"Wasn't he your crew chief at one time?"Frank responds"Yes he was and we won a title together before he got a call to work for The Racing League."Michael meanwhile shows up and brags"$500,000 dollar fine for cheating."Frank looks at Michael with disappointment and tells him"You get your sorry ass out of my shop and don't come back."Michael tells Frank"I just got word that Jesse has lost his sponsorship and I was wondering if I could fill in for you while Cale and Allison recovers."Frank slams Michael hard against the wall and angrily asks him"Why would I ever do that after what you did?"Michael answers in fear"We were close at one time."Frank snaps back"And you stabbed me in the back also.You can't kiss my ass and think you're going to get what you want!"Frank drags Michael by the shirt,out of his shop and tells him"Don't ever come here again.And be lucky my son and your cousin will survive otherwise I'd kill your worthless ass!"Michael leaves and Frank gets a text from Beth and tells Bobby"I've got to get to the hospital."Frank leaves as Bobby returns to Jackson Inc.
  At City Hospital,Ava and Winston are together in his room as Jack's went to thank Burt for what he did.Winston's asleep and Ava looks at him and Jack returns and tells his Mother"Burt is sleeping right now.I wrote him a letter and left it by the bed and left."Ava receives a text from Beth and tells Jack"I'm headed to see Xavier and Leigh.It looks like she is about to give birth."Jack is cautious and asks his Mother"Is it a good idea to be down there after what happened between you and Jamie?You know Grandma will be there."Ava looks at her son and tells him"What's about to happen is the best thing our family needs and I am going down there.You keep an eye on Winston and if he wakes up,let him know I'm downstairs."Jack hugs his Mom as Ava leaves and down the hall,Ava makes a stop to check on Chant and notices that he and the prison guard she brought from Europe has disappeared.Ava fumes and makes a phone call and tells him"Chant is somewhere in town and I want you to find him and his helper."Ava hangs up the phone and heads downstairs.
   Meanwhile,The family has gathered in the Maternity Ward,and Tenny and Ciarra arrives,both of them bickering over Precious as Ciarra tells her sister"Dogs aren't allowed in hospitals unless you're blind or have a risk of seizures and Precious would not pass for either."Tenny looks at Frank and tells Ciarra"If they didn't allow dogs,then Frank wouldn't be here."Frank rolls his eyes as does Ruth and both of them are silent as Beth walks out of Leigh's room and tells everyone in the room,Ruth,Frank,Tenny,Ciarra,and Ava,who hugs her Mother and Ruth tells her daughter"I hold no grudges Ava.I talked to your Daddy and you're my daughter and I love you."Ava hugs her Mother and Beth asks them"Where's Jared at?"In the hospital lobby,Jared has arrived and Summer sneaks up behind him and as Jared pushes the button to get on the elevator to go to the Maternity Ward,Summer pulls him back with force and wraps her arms around him and says"I know you missed this."Summer kisses Jared seductively and Bree walks into the lobby and catches her sister and is horrified as she asks her sister"What are you doing?"Summer turns around and Jared pushes Summer off of him and gets on the elevator and heads up to Maternity,as Bree warns Summer"I would leave him alone."Summer snaps"I had him first and I'll have him again."Meanwhile in the birthing room,Beth is in the room,along with Xavier and Sully and the OBGYN as Leigh's contractions are growing closer and closer and the OBGYN tells Leigh"Get ready to push."Sully holds her Mother's hand as Xavier holds Leigh's other hand as Beth watches on with a smile as Leigh goes into labor and begins to deliver the twins.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 129. Nightmares And Miracles

   At City Hospital,Winston is in bed asleep as his vitals have dropped and he looks around and sees that he's in hell as the voice tells him"We've been waiting for you Winston."Winston looks around as he sees pits of fire and brimstone,and he asks in a tone of fear,"Am I dead?"The voice tells him"From the way it looks right now in your condition,you may be soon."Winston looks around with fear and panic on his face as the voice guides him around and he arrives at a pedestal,where the devil greets him with a wicked laugh and says"Winston Hale,I have been waiting for you."Winston yells"Why am I here?"The devil looks at him quizzically and asks"Why are you here Winston?I shouldn't have to tell you.You should know."Winston is silent as there's a screen behind the devil as Winston's life flashes before his eyes and he sees Jack in his room by his side as the nurse tells Jack"He's going into a coma."Jack texts his Mother and meanwhile,Winston looks on and asks The devil"Am I here to stay?"The devil is silent and a demon arrives and tells Winston"Let's take you on a tour of Hell and I think you will know some of our residents."Winston follows with hesitation and is frightened as they stop at what appears to be a prison cell and someone yells"You evil son of a bitch.I am glad you're finally here!"Winston turns around to see Rodney Barr,and the demon tells Winston"He molested his daughter and did many things that brought him here when you had him killed."Winston looks at Rodney in silence and Rodney tells Winston"You deserve to be here!"The demon tells Winston"Now on to our next resident".
   Jack sits by Winston's bedside and Ava rushes into the room and the nurse tells them"He's falling fast."Ava looks at Jack and says to her son"Olivia is testing one other person and I pray they're a match."Jack looks at Winston and looks at his Mother and tells her"This scares the hell out of me.I know he'll make it."Ava tells Jack"You need to be prepared for anything Jackson and there's no promises he will live."Olivia meanwhile walks into the room and looks at them and says"We found a match.We're ready to operate."Ava and Jack holds each other as they cry tears of joy.Meanwhile,in the Operating Room,Burt has been prepped and a nurse asks him"Are you ok?"Burt tells the nurse"I have done things I regret and I want to do something I couldn't do before."Olivia arrives with a doctor,who's worked with her before and tells them"I need you to do this operation.My daughter is in the ER and I need to get to her ASAP."The doctor tells Olivia"You taught me well on this."Olivia pats her on the back as Winston is taken into the OR and Olivia walks outside and tells Jack and Ava"The operation has started and I've got to head to the Emergency Room.There was a wreck in Pittman and Allison was seriously injured."Ava is silent as Olivia assures them"Winston is in good hands.If he wasn't,I'd do this operation,but I need to check on Ally."Ava tells Olivia"I trust you."Olivia rushes off and Ava and Jack hold onto each other and pray for Winston and Ava says as she looks up and Jack says"I'm not ready for him to go yet."Ava assures Jack"He will live."
   Meanwhile in the ER,Beth is awaiting Allison's arrival as the paramedics bring her in and Frank's behind her,with Cale holding onto Frank as his leg has been broken.Beth tells a doctor on staff"Take Cale into triage 1 and check that leg out."Allan arrives and Beth takes Allan into Allison's triage and Allan asks Beth"What happened?"Frank fills Allan in on what has happened and Allan sees red as does Beth and Frank assures them"I feel the same way."Meanwhile Olivia gets to the ER and she rushes into Allison's triage and Beth takes a look at Allison and Olivia holds her daughter's hand as she keeps her composure as Allan comforts her and Beth tells Olivia and Allan"She looks to have had a serious concussion but otherwise she will be fine.We will just need to monitor her for some time."Allan tells them"I was watching the race and she took a hard hit.Isn't Michael her cousin?"Olivia turns around and asks Allan"Michael Barr bumped Ally into the wall and caused this?"Allan and Frank,who's returned to the room tells Olivia"Michael bumped into Allison,which caused her to hit Cale and both of them crashed.Cale's lucky to be alive as is Allison."Cale walks into the room on crutches and Beth tells him"Allison had someone watching over her.She should be dead."Olivia says with a tear"Charles."Frank tells them"This race was horrible and to think Michael is the reason all of this happened,I want to kick his ass over this."Olivia,as well as Allan and Cale shares Frank's sentiments and Frank tells them"I'm going upstairs to visit someone."Frank leaves and Allan looks at Olivia and assures her"My big sis will take excellent care of Allison."Olivia looks at him and tells him"I know she will Allan."Beth walks back outside and tells Olivia and Allan"I'm sending Allison to her own room and you two go be with her.I'm going to check on Leigh and Xavier."Allan asks"Why are they here?"Beth smiles and says"Leigh's about to deliver those babies.She's staying here overnight and Xavier is with her."Beth walks away as Cale,Olivia,and Allan follow the nurses as they take Allison to her room.
   Back in the Operating Room,the doctors are performing the bone marrow transplant as Burt's donated his bone marrow to Winston and Ava and Jack sits outside and prays together as she holds his hand.Meanwhile in Hell,The demon takes Winston to the next person and the demon tells Winston"She's just arrived."Jamie looks at Winston and yells at the demon"Why am I here?I don't deserve to be here!"The demon looks at her and says"You never made amends with your sister and you never asked for forgiveness."Jamie shrieks"I don't deserve to be here damnit!"The demon and Winston looks at her and Jamie yells"That bastard with you deserves to be here and so does Xavier and Ava!"The demon and Winston suddenly return to the pedestal where The devil sits and he looks at Winston and tells him"I thought I'd get to keep you,but I've got to send you back."Winston cries"I have done so many horrible things in my life,I have hurt the people who loved me and I regret my actions."The devil tells Winston"From the way things look,you're on the path to go to the other place and if you keep it up,then I'll never see you again."Winston disappears and his spirit sees Ava and Jack sitting in the waiting room and he wipes a tear from his eye and returns to his body and sees Burt and Winston re-enters his body as the doctors say"It looks to be a success."They take Burt and Winston to their rooms and the doctor walks out of the OR and tells Ava and Jack"It was a success."Ava asks the doctor"Who donated?I want to thank them."Jack says the same thing and the doctor tells them"The donor wishes to stay anonymous."Ava and Jack are silent for a moment and Ava tells her son"I think I know who it was."Jack asks"Who was it Mom?"Ava is silent and tells Jack"Let's go see Winston."They head to Winston's room.
   Meanwhile,Frank walks into Jesse's room and finds that he is awake and groggy and asks"Desi?"Frank says quietly"No it's Frank Jackson."Jesse looks at Frank and asks"How in the hell did you get in here?"Frank cuts to the chase and points at Jesse and tells him"Your team has cost me both of my drivers today and I will make damn sure you pay for it."Jesse looks at Frank and says"It looks like you won't be winning that title after all.I watched that race.Michael sure did well."Frank heads to the door and coldly tells his rival"You best be thankful you're in that bed because if you weren't I'd kill you with my bare hands!"Frank walks out and finds Beth outside and tells Frank"I figured you'd be here."Frank hugs Beth and changes subjects and asks"How's Allison and Cale?"Beth tells him"They will be fine,but they won't be able to race for a few weeks."Frank shakes his head and punches the wall and yells"Damnit!"Beth gives Frank a hug and tells him"Just calm down.I just checked on Leigh and she and Xavier was asleep."Frank looks at Beth and notices she's grinning and says with a smile"I'm about to be a Grandma.The nurse said she'll deliver soon."Frank looks at Beth and says to her,giving her a hug"We needed some good news."Beth responds"Yes we did."They head down to check on Allison.
   In Allison's room,Allison is in a temporary coma as she's suffered a severe concussion and Olivia and Allan sits by her side and Olivia gets a text,informing her that Winston's transplant was a success and Olivia tells Allan"I am going down to check on Winston and his donor and you stay here with our little girl."Allan nods and sits next to Allison and grabs her hand and kisses her on the top of her head and says gently"You're a tough young lady and you inherited that from me and your Mother.I love you."Cale returns to the room as does Beth and Frank and Cale kisses Allison and tells her"I promise to watch chick flicks with you the next time we're at the track."Cale grabs Allison's hand and she grabs it and Cale smiles and Cale looks at his Father and Frank walks over and hugs Cale as does Beth and she tells her brother"I think you should go back to your suite and rest.Allison will be fine."Allan tells his sister"Beth,I'm staying put and I'm going to be here for Allison.I owe that to her."Beth gives Allison a hug and Frank tells Cale"You come with me tonight and stay at The Farm."Cale tells his Father"I'll be ok."Frank looks at Cale and says"If you don't come with me,your Grandma may have a problem with that."Cale shrugs and accepts and Beth,Frank,and Cale returns to The Farm and Allan sits next to Allison and looks at her and says gently"I'm staying right here whether you like it or not."Allan holds his daughter's hand and she squeezes it and Allan starts to cry.
  Meanwhile Winston has been returned to his room and Ava and Jack are sitting by his side and Winston opens his eyes and looks at his Ex-wife and son and cries and tells them"I'm so sorry for how I did you."Ava tells Winston"You're alive and that's all that counts."Jack hugs his Father and Winston tells Jack"You don't know how much it means to me that you are here with me."Ava is silent and smiles as does Jack,knowing Winston will survive.Olivia walks in and tells Winston"We will see if this will take but from the looks of things,you're going to live."Winston is humble and thanks Olivia and tells her"Tell Burt I owe him for saving my life."Olivia is taken back as is Ava and Jack,and Olivia asks"How did you know?"Winston says with a smile"I just do."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 128. Borrowed Time

  At City Hospital,Winston is settled into his room,with Jack by his side as well as Xavier and Leigh,who's arrived as Olivia walks into his room and looks at Winston and tells him with urgency"We've got to get that transplant done very soon."Winston looks at Olivia with fear in his eyes and asks"I thought it was a 50/50 chance I'd survive."Olivia goes over Winston's report and shakes her head and tells him"If we don't get your donor here soon,you won't make it."Olivia walks out of the room and Xavier and Leigh follows as Winston wants to be alone with Jack for a moment.Olivia looks at Xavier and tells him"I see you've moved on from Desi."Xavier smiles as he holds Leigh's hand and says humbly"I have.It looks like you've done well for yourself as well."Olivia tells Xavier and Leigh"I don't want to be here,but I am and since Allan's here and Allison's here,I'm going to stay put for awhile."Xavier changes subjects and asks Olivia"Is Leigh's OBGYN here?"Leigh rolls her eyes and asks jokingly"Over-protective aren't you X?"Olivia tells them"He's here and head to the maternity ward so he can check you out."Olivia looks at Xavier and tells him"I'm glad you're with Leigh.My sister wasn't ever good enough for you."Xavier is silent as Olivia goes with Leigh as Xavier returns to Winston's room and Xavier asks Jack"Have you heard from Ava?"Jack responds"She's on her way back to town.She should be here tonight."Winston responds"She needs to hurry up unless Chant told her to let me die."Xavier and Jack looks at Winston and reminds him"Ava doesn't know the meaning of the word no.You know that as well as us.She'll be here."Xavier leaves to be with Leigh and Winston tells Jack once alone"I'm scared Jack."Jack assures his Father"Mom will be here soon and everything will be ok."Winston has a look of defeat and doesn't respond.
  In the town of Pittman,in the Southwest,Frank and Ruth arrives to the racetrack as qualifying has been completed and Cale and Allison are starting first and second.Ruth looks around the garage area and Cale walks over and gives his Grandmother a hug and offers his condolences on Jamie's death."Ruth tells Cale"Just go out there and kick their ass for me this weekend."Allison arrives and Ruth asks Cale,as she notices they're holding hands"Are the two of you dating?"Cale says with a laugh"Yes we are."Ruth is silent and shakes her head,telling them"I'm glad the two of you are dating than Allison with my son."Allison and Cale both laugh and Ruth heads to Frank's motor coach as the race is about to start.Frank meanwhile has been called into the Sanctioning body's hauler and the director tells him"We found some illegal parts on your cars during inspection."Frank asks"What illegal parts?"The director tells Frank"Someone told us that you guys were using illegal fuel during qualifying and that will cost you heavily."Frank gets angry and tells the director"I follow the rulebook and we know that.If you decide to fine me,expect an appeal."Frank storms out and sees Michael and Michael asks Frank"I hear your team is doing illegal things now?"Frank looks at Michael quizzically and walks off to meet with his team as the cars are on pit road and the race is about to start.Frank meets up with his son and Allison and asks them"Did any of you notice anything different when you qualified?"Cale and Allison both look puzzled and says"The cars were strong as always."Frank tells them"Just win this race and we'll discuss this later on."Frank returns to his motor coach to watch the race with his Mother as Michael walks up to Cale and Allison and quips"Cheaters never win losers."Allison tells her cousin"I hope you can make it up front today.I see you're starting in the back."Michael looks at Allison and Cale and quips"At least my team didn't use illegal fuel to get an advantage."Michael struts to his car and Cale snarls"Let that son of a bitch get close to me.I'm putting him in the wall."Allison gives Cale a kiss and tells him"Let's just do as Frank said and win this race for him and your Grandma and Sidney Evans."Cale and Allison gets in their cars and the command is given and the race starts.
  Back in Adam's Landing,Beth is at The Farm as Bree returns and asks Beth"Where's Grandma?"Beth tells her"She went with Frank to Pittman for the race."Bree snaps"She seems to be moving on from Mom's death well."Beth looks at Bree and tells her to sit down.Beth tells Bree"You shouldn't have said what you did to her earlier about B.R. and you also need to lay off my son also."Bree asks Beth angrily"Are you condoning B.R. and Xavier and the pain they caused my Mom,Summer,and I."Beth takes a deep breath and is silent for a moment,trying to find the right words and tells Bree"I know you are hurting.Jamie was your Mother,but lashing out like this isn't going to help things get any better."Bree takes a deep breath and opens up to Beth and tells her"My Mom wasn't perfect,she wasn't a bad Mom when I was a kid,not to me or Summer."Beth reminds Bree"Do you remember me babysitting you when you were young and how you and Xavier would play.The two of you were close."Bree asks Beth"Why is Xavier like he is Aunt Beth?Why is he so vindictive and evil?"Beth looks at Bree and tells her gently"Xavier has been through a lot in his life,like you.When Desi left town without saying a word,that changed him.When Leigh was thought to have been dead though,he grew cold and he is very protective over his family.He kicked himself for years for not being able to save her and remember he is B.R.'s son and he does inherit that infamous mean streak."Bree tells Beth"I know he's had his problems but ever since he has returned to town,he turned his back on Mom and I and honestly I don't understand him."Beth tells Bree"You need to leave him be and instead of taking your anger and frustration out on him,try to get close to him.It would be the best thing you could do."Bree tells Beth"Russell Marx wants to go after Xavier and he wants me to help and.."Beth warns Bree"You stay out of it.Russell caused a lot of damage and we both know that."Bree nods and Beth hugs her and compliments her"Bree you're a smart girl and I know you will make the right choice.You always have."Bree looks at Beth and tells her"I'm glad you're here for our family."Beth hugs Bree and assures her"I will always be here for all of you except Brock Jr."Bree and Beth laughs and they hug and Beth gets a phone call from Xavier and looks at Bree and says"I've got to go to the hospital.Leigh's been admitted."Beth leaves and Bree is silent for a moment and texts Russell and tells him"I'm not getting involved in the vendetta."
  At The Sunset Club,Russell is in his suite,reading over files and has received Bree's text and is disappointed and says to himself"I will fight him myself!"Summer arrives and Russell greets his daughter with a hug and asks her"What took you so long to get here?"Summer tells her Father"I made a few stops along the way."Russell asks"Did you stop by Jamie's cottage or what remains of it."Summer looks at Russell and tells him"I hate Xavier and Ava over what they've done to our family."Russell nods in agreement and Summer continues"I hate Adam's Landing and Grandma and Grandpa.Neither of them were ever there.Russell sighs"I know and it was all because you were my daughter with Jamie."Summer asks Russell"Where is my sister?"Russell responds"She's at The Farm and likely being brainwashed by her family.I asked her to help me and she declined."Summer yells"What is her damn problem?This family has always accepted her but never accepted me."Russell reminds Summer again"You were my daughter Summer Marx.You were blacklisted the moment you were born."Summer tells her Father"I'm going to see my sister and hopefully Grandma isn't there."Russell hugs Summer and tells her"Maybe you can talk some sense into her."Summer leaves and down in the lobby she sees Jared and she eyes him for a moment.Jared turns around and looks for a moment and asks"I see you're in town."Summer looks at Jared and says to him"It's been a long time."Jared gets a call from Sully and tells Summer"I'm married now Summer.I'm going to be with my wife."Jared leaves and Summer says to herself"Jared Hale is in Adam's Landing.I think I will stay after all."

   At The Farm,Beth and Frank wakes up and hand in hand and notice silence when they walk into the living room.Ruth and Bree both sit in front of the TV,watching the morning news and Ruth and Bree are frozen in shock.Frank asks his Mother and Niece"What's wrong?"Ruth points at the TV and Beth and Frank hears the newscaster report the deaths of Jamie Marx and Lily Corbin and Frank is horrified and Ruth looks at Frank and asks him"Where is Ava?"Beth answers"She's in Europe right now Ruth."Ruth looks at Beth and asks her sternly"Did you know about this?"Beth takes a deep breath as Frank,Ruth,and Bree looks at her and Beth slowly and calmly tells them"Xavier told me about what happened and.."Bree yells"Xavier had my Mom killed?"Frank tells Bree"I don't think Xavier would have done something like this.We know the history between Ava and Jamie."Ruth shakes and says somberly"Jamie wasn't perfect and she hurt me so much,but she was my little girl,my daughter."Ruth then looks at Beth and asks"Why didn't anyone tell me?"Beth looks at Ruth and tells her"From what Xavier told me,Burt Corbin shot Lily and Jamie and Rachel went to The Sunset Club and Ava and Jamie got into a confrontation and they fought over Ava's gun and Jamie was shot."Ruth shakes her head in disgust and walks away.Bree looks at Beth and asks her"I heard Winston has been working with Xavier and Aunt Ava.Do you think they planned this?"Beth takes a deep breath as Frank stares sternly at Beth and Beth tells them"Jamie and Rachel were about to expose our families and Winston helped them stop the book from being published."Frank shakes his head in disgust and Bree looks at them and says"Grandma hasn't hardly said a word all morning.I'm scared for her.This could kill her."Beth assures them"What happened down there with Ava and Jamie was between them and I think it was an accident."Frank yells"Ava's wanted Jamie dead for years Beth!Why didn't you tell me about this?"Beth says quietly"Xavier felt it was best to just keep quiet for Ruth's sake."Frank gets upset and tells Beth"At least you should have said something to me.We are about to get remarried and you should have said something."Frank goes to check on his Mother and Bree tells Beth"This is bad.I understand you were doing what you thought was best for Grandma,but you should have told me.Summer will find out and she will want answers."Beth tells Bree"Don't blame Xavier for this.He may be cold sometimes and he does have that mean streak,but he wouldn't do something like this."Bree looks at Beth silently as she says somberly"My Mom is dead."Bree starts to cry and Beth holds her as Bree cries in Beth's arms.In the kitchen,Frank walks in and finds Ruth sitting at the table silently and Ruth tells her son in a distant tone"My daughter's dead?"Frank nods somberly and Ruth holds onto Frank and cries on his shoulder as she mourns Jamie's death,as does Frank.Meanwhile,Beth leaves for City Hospital,while Bree heads to Hell Hill.

   Meanwhile,Desi has arrived back at City Hospital and sneaks into Jesse's room and sees that he's in a coma as he's recovering from his surgery.She sits next to him and says"You saved me and I'm glad you're going to survive."Meanwhile,Beth walks into Terrance's office and finds him there,about to head to Jesse's room and Beth asks him"Shouldn't you be getting ready for Sidney's funeral?"Terrance looks at Beth and tells her"I want to work.It keeps me from mourning Daddy."Beth understands and notices something's wrong with Terrance and asks him"What else is bothering you?I can tell when something's on your mind?"Terrance responds"Everybody told me that things have changed in this damn town and it hasn't changed at all!"Beth is puzzled and asks"What are you talking about?"Terrance fills Beth in on his confrontation with Desi and Michael the night before and Beth is floored and gets angry as Terrance tells her"Michael Barr showed his true feelings calling me "Boy" and "Sissy Boy",I decked his ass and Beth that struck a nerve in me."Beth responds"It does with me too Terrance.You need to go back home and be with your family and let me handle things here.Then afterwards you come back and things will be better."Terrance asks Beth"Why are people so cruel in this world?Just because someone may be a different color or they may be gay,doesn't mean they have to say the things they say."Beth reminds Terrance"Remember who Michael's parents are Terrance.It starts in the home."Terrance hugs Beth and tells her"You always say the right thing."Beth looks at Terrance and tells him"Olivia is here and she'll help me out today.As your boss,I am telling you to go back home for Sidney's Memorial."Terrance walks out and Beth heads downstairs to check on Jesse,on her way to the ICU,Beth has a thought and thinks about Jamie and Lily's deaths and who leaked it to the media and she says under her breath"Desi did this.And she will regret it!"
   Back at Hell Hill,Bree storms inside as Leigh greets her with a hug and Bree asks Leigh"Where's Xavier and Winston?"Leigh points to the library and Bree heads back there in a fury and slams open the door and Xavier looks at Bree and asks"I take it you know?"Bree quickly gets to the point and tells Xavier and Winston"I know both of you hated my Mom."Winston quips"That's an understatement."Bree gives an evil look to Winston and Bree then jumps to Xavier and asks"Did you instigate Aunt Ava to kill my Mom?"Xavier looks at Bree and tells her"Bree,I may have hated your Mother,but I wouldn't have her killed."Bree tells them"I want both of you to know now that my Grandma is crying her eyes out and she is heartbroken over this and I blame this on the two of you."Winston reminds Bree"Your Mother did many horrible things in her life."Bree yells"I know that and you have no room to speak so shut the hell up!"Xavier looks at Bree and tells his niece"What happened at The Sunset Club was between Ava and Jamie!And calm down and go back to The Farm and support Grandma."Bree shakes her head in disgust and says to Xavier"You remind me so much of my Grandpa it makes me sick."Xavier looks at Bree and says"And remember that your Mother wasn't a damn saint!"Bree storms out and leaves,slamming the door and Winston looks at Xavier and asks"Didn't she try to run for DA once?"Xavier nods and Winston tells Xavier"I think we need to get Bobby over here immediately to discuss strategy because this will turn ugly."Xavier makes the call as Winston walks out of the room and has a dizzy spell and Leigh asks him"Are you ok?Winston holds onto the couch and Jack walks in and helps his Father back to his room and tells him"I'm going to see Grandma."Winston tells Jack"That's a good idea."Meanwhile back in the library,Leigh warns Xavier"This doesn't look good."Xavier shakes his head and tells his wife,holding her hand"I think this is just the beginning."
  At The Farm,Frank and Ruth sits in the kitchen as Ruth looks at Frank and hardly says a word.Frank sits next to his Mother and holds her close to him and Frank assures her"Xavier was only looking out for you."Ruth snaps and yells"Damnit I am not a feeble old lady Frank!I should have known about this!"Frank gently tells Ruth"Mama,you should have known about this but I do not believe that Beth or Xavier would have kept this from you because they wanted to hurt you."Ruth looks at Frank and says"I know son.I do.But I just wish you all wouldn't treat me like a old lady."Frank gives Ruth a hug and changes subjects and asks"Do you want to go to Sidney's funeral today?"Ruth looks at Frank and tells him"Go for me and tell Willie I'm sorry."Frank hugs his Mother again and says with a gentle tone"I will Mama."Frank starts to walk out and Ruth asks Frank"So did Beth accept your proposal?"Frank sighs and says"She did Mama."Ruth breaks a smile and says"I'm glad you have her."Frank responds"Me too."Frank leaves and runs into Bree outside and Bree yells"That son of a bitch is sitting over there with Winston Hale acting like Mom's death doesn't even bother them."Frank warns Bree"Calm down Bree.Xavier and Winston teamed together for good reason.Bree looks at her uncle and shakes her head and says"Xavier is just like Grandpa,both of them are two evil bastards that would do anything to get their way."Frank advises his niece"You need to let the grudges go Bree.Mama needs support right now and if you want to vent,talk to me or Beth."Bree hugs Frank and heads inside,as Frank heads to Sidney's memorial.
   At City Hospital,Beth is in the hallway,outside Jesse's room and calls Frank and Frank tells Beth"I love you Beth.I understand your reasons."Beth tells Frank"I'll be back home soon."Beth hangs up and walks into Jesse's room and sees Desi at his side and Beth asks Desi"What are you doing here?"Desi tells Beth"I have every right to be here.You're the one that shouldn't be here."Beth walks over and looks at Jesse's vitals and charts and then grabs Desi by the arm and drags her outside.They walk into an empty room and Beth looks at Desi and asks her"Did you inform the press about what happened to Jamie and Lily?"Desi smiles at Beth and says"I didn't know about that until this morning on the news."Beth gets angry and slaps Desi and quietly warns her"I know you were the one that tipped off the media."Desi yells"You're damn right I did you vindictive bitch.You are back in charge at this hospital and your family has done so much hurt to my family.I returned it!"Beth gets up in Desi's face as she calls security,and sternly warns her"If my future Mother In Law ends up in this hospital over what you did,then I will kill you myself!"Security arrives and Desi is escorted out and Beth yells"Also a reminder,since Xavier now owns this hospital,you're no longer on the board."Desi yells back"Go to hell!"Beth shakes her head in disgust and calls Ciarra and Tenny to no answer.Beth then calls Olivia and tells her"I'm going to check on my Aunt Ciarra and my Mama.You're in charge while I'm gone."Beth then heads over to Ciarra and Tenny's.
   At Hell Hill,Xavier and Leigh sits on the couch and Leigh tells Xavier"I don't think I'll be able to handle the stress from what has happened."Xavier kisses his wife and assures her"I got everything covered."Winston meanwhile walks downstairs and asks Xavier"Has Bobby arrived yet?"Xavier responds"He's on his way.There's a knock at the door and Xavier walks up to the door and answers it in shock as the person tells him"You're going to get what's long overdue Xavier Jackson."At The Farm,Jack arrives as Bree sits in the living room and Jack asks his cousin"Where's Grandma?"Bree tells Jack"She's asleep."Jack asks Bree"How are you holding up?"Bree snaps"I don't quite know how to answer at this time."In Ruth's bedroom,Ruth lays on the bed and cries for Jamie and she feels someone touch her and Ruth looks up and says"B.R.?"Beth meanwhile arrives at Ciarra and Tenny's Penthouse and finds Ciarra by herself and Beth holds her Aunt in her arms as she cries and Beth asks"Where's Mama?"Tenny walks in and tells Ciarra"I thought I would bring us some company.His name is Precious.Ciarra and Beth looks at Tenny as she has brought a Doberman Pincher home and tells them"I adopted him.Isn't he adorable?"Ciarra and Beth are stunned.In Europe,Ava and Burt has arrived at their destination and Ava checks her phone and sees the messages and looks at Burt and says"I think you may be going back to Blue Ridge after we're finished."They walk into a room and a prison guard brings a prisoner in the room and he sees Ava and Ava tells him"I got a deal for you."

   Back at Hell Hill,Frank sits on the gazebo and Beth arrives and asks Frank"Why did you want to meet me here?"Frank looks around and says"It's beautiful here,like you."Beth blushes and goes"Frank Jackson,you're up to something aren't you?"Frank is silent and puts his hands on Beth's shoulders and tells her softly"Beth,I..I want to ask you something and if you say no I will understand."Beth grows suspicious and asks Frank"What are you hinting at?You are having a lot of trouble with your words."Frank quickly asks as he pulls a diamond ring out of his pocket"Beth will you marry me again?"Beth looks at the ring and is silent and looks at Frank and says"You want to marry me again?"Frank starts to tear up,as does Beth as Frank tells her"You have done so much for my family and you saved my life and nursed me back to health,I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you."Beth takes a deep breath and looks at the ring again and says to Frank"I accept."Frank puts the ring on Beth's finger as they kiss under the stars and heads to The Farm to tell Ruth the news.
