   At The Sunset Club,Desi and Russell are sitting on his bed,as both of them worry about Summer for different reasons.Desi tells Russell"She should be back by now."Russell makes a phone call to Summer,but gets no answer.He tells Desi"Summer has a bad habit of leaving her phone in her car."Desi yells"This is a life and death situation moment!There's no room to make mistakes!"Russell tells Desi"If I don't hear from her within the next few minutes,I'm going down there to check on her."Desi looks at Russell and warns him"She better get my damn deed.That company is mine!"Russell looks at Desi in frustration and tells her sternly"I am sick of hearing your griping on Lane's!Shut up with it!"Desi backs up and snaps at Russell"If you don't play ball Mr.Former DA,I may just have to tell my side to our little tryst.Jesse Adams saved my life!"Russell warns Desi"You wouldn't do that if you want to save what little you have left of your reputation."Desi looks at Russell and tells him"I used you to get out of jail Russell.That was it.I played you."Russell looks at Desi,with anger in his eyes and tells her"I'm about to check on my daughter and I just hope you can find yourself an attorney."Desi quips"I already got one."Russell angrily yells"Good!You'll need one.Because I'm about to help Bobby send Michael down to Unity,and he'll never get out,and you won't NEVER see him again!I know how to play the game too."Russell storms out and Desi walks around his suite and says to herself"What an idiot.He will get his for humiliating me."Desi goes through Russell's briefcase and finds something and smiles and walks out of his suite.
   Back at the ALPD,Bobby receives a phone call from Xavier,as he asks Bobby"Has Rachel Lane tried to leave Adam's Landing yet?"Bobby makes a phone call to Adam's Landing International,and asks someone"Has a Rachel Lane checked in for a flight to Sugar Creek?"The attendant tells Bobby"There hasn't been a Rachel Lane here."Bobby gets back on the phone with Xavier and fills him in and Xavier asks"Ask about Amanda Rouse."Bobby asks the attendant"How about an Amanda Rouse?"The attendant tells him"Her flight has just left the runway for Sugar Creek."Bobby hangs up and tells Xavier"Rachel's headed back to Sugar Creek."Xavier hangs up and Bobby sits back and says to himself"Adam's Landing will be much safer now that I'm in the DA position."Down in Michael's cell,Sayyid returns and pulls out a rug and turns to the East and begins prayer,and Michael asks Sayyid"Are you praying for Mercy?"Sayyid gets up and pulls Michael off his bunk and coldly tells him,with his hand around his throat"I'm saying my daily prayers white boy,so shut your ass up!"Michael is thrown back on his bunk and asks Sayyid"So I take it you're a muslim?That's not the right path."Sayyid gets up and jumps on top of Michael in his bunk and coldly warns him,as he pulls out a razor"You are a Barr and all your family ever did was cut my brothers and sisters down with your cross burnings and all.Let's just get one thing straight right now,you keep your mouth shut Barr,because if you don't,I'll cut your chords!"Michael gets scared as Sayyid gently eases the razor across Michael's throat and jumps off of him as he looks up and says"Allah give me strength."
  At Class,Russell has arrived and asks an employee"Is Summer here?"The employee tells him"I haven't seen her Russell."Russell gets concerned and walks out and makes a phone call to Bobby and tells him"I got some strategy on how to send Desi to Unity Prison with her son."Meanwhile,Desi sits in the bar at Chantel's,as she is reading something and says to herself"Wow.I think this will hurt.Poor Bree doesn't know that Russell has her paternity results and if she does things right,maybe she will find out."Unknown to Desi,Bree is behind her,as is Aretha,and Terrance,as Jack's funeral has concluded,and Bree asks Desi"And what will I have to do Desi?"Desi looks at Bree and tells her"You get my son out of jail."Bree denies her and Aretha and Terrance grabs Desi's arms,as Bree takes the results from Desi.She looks at her paternity results and she is shocked to see who's her real father,as are Aretha and Terrance.Desi yells"Give them back to me."Aretha walks over to Desi and sternly tells her"Enjoy your life story in tomorrow's issue."Bree walks out with the paternity results in a state of shock,as Aretha and Terrance sits next to Desi and tells her"Let's talk about Michael."
