  It's a few hours later in Adam's Landing and in Xavier's study at Hell Hill,Beth calls her son and tells him"Sully,Jared and I are in Blue Ridge.We're at the Rehabilitation Center."Xavier tells his Mother"Tell Sully I love her and Leigh and I will be in town in a few days."Xavier hangs up and Sayyid walks into Xavier's study and asks him"I want to know something Xavier?"Xavier asks Sayyid"What is it that you want to know?"Sayyid asks"I notice that girl working for you.Who's her Mother?"Xavier responds"Her name is Latoya Shane."Sayyid quietly says"Shane,Shane,Sassy Shane's daughter?"Xavier nods and Sayyid walks out and says to himself"I wonder."Meanwhile Leigh walks into Xavier's study with Gracie and Xavier Jr,and Leigh asks"Has Beth,Sully,and Jared arrived in Blue Ridge?"Xavier tells his wife,as he holds his son"They have.They're at Park Lane right now and then they're headed to The Sullivan Estate."Leigh asks her husband"Do you think it's smart that we go to Blue Ridge with a stranger staying here?"Xavier laughs and tells his wife"I wouldn't worry about a thing with Sayyid here.I think we're better off with him looking after things."Leigh tells Xavier with some hesitation"He has been in jail,and he was a Black Panther years ago.Ruth filled me in on some of his past."Xavier assures Leigh"I think with Sayyid working for us,as well as Country,we have nothing to worry about."Leigh and Xavier hugs each other and looks at Gracie and Xavier Jr,and tells his wife"In a few days,we'll be in Blue Ridge.These two will see where their parents fell in love.And we can watch Sully progress.Don't worry yourself baby."
  At The Exposer,Aretha sits in her office and reads the hits on her article on Desi Lane and laughs"This is my biggest seller yet."Aretha hears an argument outside her office as Desi storms inside and shrieks"You lying bitch!I can't believe this!"Aretha laughs"You look upset?Truth's got you turned upside down Desi?"Desi yells at Aretha"You have no right to publish my personal history for your own gain Aretha!"Aretha sits back and says calmly"I don't?"Desi yells"No you don't!I can't help it that Michael turned out the way he did.But you've went too far with publishing this trash!"Aretha calmly asks Desi"Why are you so mad?Is it because I am telling the truth?Does that bother you?Need me to help you find a shrink?"Desi is furious and warns Aretha"I did what was necessary years ago.Mom and Dad couldn't run Lane's anymore."Aretha asks"And you decided to listen to your husband and follow command like a good,blind wife and listen to him,and put Davis and Virginia Lane into the worst Retirement Home in the state."Desi snaps at Aretha"I will sue you for this slander!You just watch."Aretha quips"If you're allowed to visit your son,ask him how his night with Uncle Clem was?I'm sure he's cowered in a corner,crying his eyes out.A coward like his Daddy."Desi grows silent and asks"Clemmon Ross was in the same cell as my son?"Aretha laughs"It's Sayyid now and I hear they had a great visit."Desi rushes out as Aretha sits back and says to herself"I would sure hate to be her right now."
   Meanwhile at FJR,Frank and Rashad returns to the shop after testing for the upcoming race and finds Cale sitting in Frank's office.Cale tells his Father"I think I'm ready Dad."Frank tells his son"One more race and then you can drive again."Cale looks at Rashad and tells him"I think you may have a full time ride with FJR."Frank is surprised and asks his son"What in the hell are you talking about?Allison's returning isn't she?'Cale tells Frank"She and I have been discussing things and she isn't sure she wants to drive again."Frank shakes his head and tells his son"I understand her reasons but she should tell me what she wants to do so I can make arrangements for Rashad to take her ride if she isn't coming back."Rashad tells them"If Allison wants to drive again,I'm more than willing to give her ride to her.I'm only filling in."Cale looks at Rashad and advises him"You have raw talent out on the track.Allison even said that when she watched you and Dad finish 1,2 in Valley Ridge.Allison wants what's best for FJR."Frank asks Cale"What's Allison's plans if she decides not to race again?"Cale tells him"She's spending the day with her Grandmother at Class."Frank rolls his eyes and tells Cale"That's a scary thought right there to be in a room with Tenny Sullivan.And working with her."Cale laughs and says to his Father"She has been nice to me so far.She just doesn't like the family except for Aunt Ava and Uncle Xavier."Ruth meanwhile arrives and asks Frank in a tone of disdain"Are you racing again this weekend?"Frank responds"I will be driving Cale's car this week,and then if the doctors clear him,then he'll be back behind the wheel."Ruth rolls her eyes and says with disgust"I don't want you driving son."Frank snaps"I don't have a choice and Blue Ridge Speedway was always good to me.Top ten average and eight wins.I always ran well there."Ruth sighs and changes the subject and asks Rashad and Cale for a moment alone with her son.Rashad and Cale walk out as they are beginning to form a friendship,and Ruth tells her son"Bree told me that Allan isn't her Father."Frank responds"He isn't Mama.You should remember what happened years ago?"Ruth tells Frank"Do you know what's going to happen when Bree finds out about her real Father?It will not be pretty and I have had my reservations about it for years."Frank tells his Mother"I know how you feel because I feel the same way,but I think we need to ask ourselves,how will the rest of the family feel?"Ruth rolls her eyes and says with a scared tone"I think he may know,but she doesn't need to know or else she'll really break down.Ava doesn't need that Frank."Frank agrees and asks his Mother"Have you heard from Ava?"Ruth tells him"She's in Sugar Creek with Country and I got the news turned off.She hasn't spoken to anyone since the funeral."Frank and Ruth both worry for Ava and Frank hugs his Mother and tells her"Hopefully Country will be able to stop her with whatever she is planning."Ruth is silent.
   In the town of Sugar Creek,in the Great Lakes region of the United States,Ava and Country arrives at The Sugar Cane Motel,owned by Wade Issac.He walks up to the reception desk,as Ava rings the bell,with Country by her side.Wade asks"How may I help you?"Ava,who has her face covered and wearing black,tells Wade"I heard that Rachel is staying here and I would like to get a room."Wade asks Ava and Country"And who are you?"Ava tells Wade"I'm Rachel's Mom,Desi Lane.I know you read The Exposer.I needed to get out of town and get close to my daughter again."Wade gives Ava a key to her room and Wade asks Ava"Ms.Lane,is the man with you going to be staying with you also?"Ava nods and says"He's my newest fling.You know how the Lanes are.We love to spread the love."Ava and Country heads to their room,as Wade sits at the desk for a moment and sits back and says to himself"That was why that Private Investigator was here earlier."Meanwhile Ava and Country arrives in her room and Country tells Ava"I think your idea's going to backfire Ava.Ava looks at Country and tells him sternly"I will either leave Sugar Creek dead or alive.Rachel will pay for this and my nephew's already here snooping around.I know where she's hiding."Country asks Ava"How can you keep up with Andy when you threw your phone out on the side of the road?"Ava pulls a cellphone out of her purse and laughs in a paranoid tone"Prepaid!"Now let's talk about you.You dropped your wallet at The Airport."Country looks at Ava as she tells Country"I noticed this fell out and I held onto it for you."Country looks at Ava as Ava stares at Country and tells him"I have you where I want you now."
   Back in Adam's Landing,Desi had arrived at Chantel's after being told to leave the ALPD after attempting to visit Michael,and Olivia's sitting at the bar and sees her sister walk in the room and is silent.Desi tells Olivia"Aretha Evans is a liar and she has it out for our family."Olivia is angry and delivers a hard slap to Desi and coldly tells her"Mom and Dad were living in Southpoint Beach huh Desi?They must have traveled because when Ally and I went to visit them,nobody knew who Davis and Virginia Lane were."Desi is quiet and scared as Olivia tells her sister"I grow more hate for you with each day that passes Desi.The more I learn,the more I want to kill you,and your family.How could you do such a thing to our parents?"Desi snaps"You were never around Olivia.I was the one that had to take care of them."Olivia tells Desi"I was in Pittman,working at Pittman Memorial Hospital as Chief of Staff.I actually earned what I got without stealing it from my parents!"Desi shrieks"Don't dare accuse me of stealing a damn thing from our parents Olivia.Did your husband ever know that Allison wasn't his daughter?Did you ever tell him?It's sad he went to his grave not knowing the truth about Allison's real Father,a washed up rocker that was a drug addict..Olivia slaps Desi to the ground and stands on top of her and reminds her sister"And your husband slept with every whore he met and molested his own daughter.And you want to cast judgement."Desi is silent as Olivia tells Desi"I know more than you think.And you did take after Chant."Olivia leaves and Desi sits at the bar and tells herself,as she's in denial"It's not my fault.When I wanted it,I got it,and I'll get back Lane's."Olivia stands outside and calls Allan and he tells Olivia"Come meet me.I want to show you something."Olivia heads to meet with Allan,curious as to what he has to show her,as well as thinking about her sister,as she gets in her car and punches the steering wheel in anger.
