   It's the next morning in Adam's Landing and at The Evans Home,Rashad sits downstairs as he holds his son in his arms and tells him"Daddy will never leave you Sidney.It's you and me."Aretha and Sayyid walk downstairs and Aretha looks at Little Sidney and asks Rashad"Did you get any sleep?"Rashad tells his Mother"I was up with Little Sidney all night and thinking about Grandma."Aretha tells her son as Sayyid goes upstairs for his morning prayers"Terrance didn't call last night so that is a good thing.She's still with us."Rashad looks at his Son and asks his Mother"How will I take care of my little boy without Latoya?"Aretha looks at her Grandson and tells Rashad"You have me baby boy.And I will help you raise Little Sidney Evans.Just like Mama helped me when I had you."Rashad asks his Mother"I have always wondered about my Father.What happened with him?"Aretha quickly tells her Son"That's something I don't care to discuss right now.I will tell you in time."Rashad notices a look in his Mother's eyes and asks Aretha"Did he leave you hanging?"Aretha looks at Rashad and grabs his hand and tells him"It was just about the same with me,as it was with you.That's all I will say."Aretha's phone rings and it's Terrance and he tells his Sister"Mama is still with us and I want you and Uncle Clem to come to the Hospital ASAP.We need to discuss something."Aretha tells Terrance"Rashad and Little Sidney are here Terrance.Latoya gave him the kid and she's leaving town this morning."Terrance tells his Sister"I need you to come to the Hospital.And fast!"Aretha hangs up the phone and Rashad asks"How is Grandma?"Aretha tells her Son and Grandson"She is still alive,but I got to get to the Hospital immediately.And you need to be there also."Rashad asks his Mother"What about Little Sidney?"Aretha tells him"Bring him with you.Mama may be in a coma,but she needs all of us."Sayyid walks downstairs and Aretha tells them"Let's go visit Mama."
   At Sassy's house,Sassy gets off the phone with City Hospital and Latoya comes downstairs and tells her Mother"Are you still angry after last night?"Sassy looks at her Daughter with disappointment and tells Latoya"I am past angry.You gave your child away.My Grandson!"Latoya tells her Mother"If Rashad wants to be a Mama's Boy for the rest of his life,then he can also raise his Son as well!I have other things to look forward to!"Sassy slaps Latoya forcefully and Latoya yells"You have no right to slap me!"Sassy yells at Latoya"You're not even in Los Angeles and it has changed you.You were excited at one time about being a Mother and having a life with Rashad and once you got that record deal,then you forgot your priorities!You made the biggest mistake of your life Latoya and I mean it!"Latoya yells"So you don't support my choices?"Sassy asks Latoya"Do you love your son?"Latoya responds"That's not the point!"Sassy yells"That should be at the top of your list Latoya!I could have given you away and had a successful life.But you were my Daughter,and I raised you without help and I made it on my own."Latoya tells Sassy"The only thing you were ever successful at was running a damn diner that was a dump and becoming a nurse."Sassy puts Latoya on blast,as she gets in Latoya's face and yells"I have made mistakes,but I also learned from them.My family came first.My Daughter came first.All you give a damn about is you and that career."Latoya looks around and asks"So are you going to L.A?"Sassy looks at Latoya and tells her"I will be staying here.Jermaine will hopefully keep you in line and I am going to be a part of my Grandson's life because Rashad will need all the help he can get."Latoya looks at her Mother and tells her"You do that.Just remember that when I leave today,I will never step back into this house again.You should have supported me."Sassy tells Latoya"You should have put your son first!"Latoya walks to her room and grabs her suitcase and tells her Mother"I don't need you anyway.I can take care of my damn self!I'm moving up in the world and enjoy being a nobody Nurse Sassy!"Latoya storms out as Sassy looks at the door with anger in her eyes and looks on the shelf at a picture of Latoya as a child and Sassy looks at her picture and says to herself"I failed at parenting.I failed."Sassy makes a phone call to Jermaine and tells him"You watch after Latoya.I'm staying in Adam's Landing.I don't want to watch her crash and burn."Sassy hangs up and heads to City Hospital.
   Meanwhile at Burt and Bree's Mansion,Burt wakes up with Summer laying next to him and he looks over and tells her"Wake up.You need to leave because Bree could show up at any moment."Summer wakes up and tells Burt"I'm not worried about Bree.She wouldn't hurt no one.She's likely at Uncle Frank's house right now throwing a pity party."Downstairs,Winston unlocks the door and looks around briefly and heads upstairs and walks into Burt's bedroom and asks his Son"What in the hell are you doing?"Summer yells at Winston"You have no right to barge in here!"Winston tells his Son"Ava knows about this and she isn't happy and nor am I."Summer looks at Winston and tells him"Bree isn't what Burt needs.What he needs is a woman that understands him and doesn't hold him back and takes her birth control pills."Winston stares at Summer and sternly tells her"You are nothing but a whore!"Burt is silent,as Summer gets out of bed,naked,and walks up to Winston and tells him"Out of all people,you should understand.I could be in bed with Jared right now.We were meant to be together anyway."Winston takes a deep breath,as he gets angry and warns Summer"You are destroying your family you selfish whore.You are just like your Mother."Summer quips"That's good that I take after her.At least I think so."Winston warns his Son"Burt,I can't protect you if you don't realize what you're doing.Ava's rallying the troops now for your demise and knowing her,Summer's as well.This could really destroy you."Burt looks at Summer and tells her"You need to leave.I got to go to work."Summer walks out and tells Burt"I'll see you tonight sexy."Summer struts out and Burt tells his Father"I know I've messed up.But I'm attracted to Summer.She wants what I want."Winston asks"What?Sex?"Burt tells his Father"I love sex.That's my drug of choice."Winston shakes his head and tells Burt"All I can say is you don't know how to pick them.But you need to brace yourself."Burt is quiet as Winston walks out and heads back to Whispering Hills,where Ava is sitting in the living room and has a cup of coffee and spikes it with liquor and Floyd walks inside and asks Ava"Are you ready?."Ava looks at her Uncle and tells him"Oh hell yes I am!"Floyd and Ava heads towards Jackson Inc.
   Across the road at Hell Hill,Xavier and Leigh are in the nursery as Maria and Shannon arrives and Maria tells her cousin"You might want to get down to Jackson Inc.Pop is on his way as we speak."Leigh tells Maria"I have to head to Class and check on things."Leigh tells her Husband"I think you may want to get down to Jackson Inc."Xavier asks Maria"Is this about Burt and Summer?"Shannon gets curious and asks"What is going on?Papa walked out of the house with his rifle this morning."Maria tells her Daughter"Go downstairs and get some formula for Gracie and Xavier Jr."Xavier,Leigh,and Maria walk outside the nursery and Xavier asks Maria"How did Uncle Floyd find out?"Maria responds"Ava.Bree was at the estate when she got the picture of Burt and Summer and Ava seen it and called Pop.He is angry and I hope Burt gets what's coming to him."Leigh rolls her eyes as she says to herself"This is going to devastate this family.Does Ruth know yet?"Maria tells them"She doesn't know."Xavier tells Maria"She doesn't need to know about it.She's already worried about Willie and she may not be able to handle this after all that's happened."Leigh hugs her Husband and tells him"Looks like you will have to step in."Maria tells them"Burt deserves what he gets."Xavier tells Maria in a stern tone"Burt Corbin is one of my most loyal employees at Jackson Inc and I need him now.I don't need him six feet under."Xavier walks back into the nursery and kisses his children and heads out and Leigh tells Maria"Burt is one of Xavier's few friends.He's worked for Xavier for over 20 years and with what's going on right now,Xavier can't lose him."Maria tells Leigh"I know Burt also and I also had my time with him.He left me when I became pregnant and left and his wife at the time was a total bitch.I loved him and he left me.Pop has never forgiven that."Leigh shakes her head and asks"So is Shannon Burt's Daughter?"Maria tells Leigh"No.I had a miscarriage due to the grief and pain Burt put me through and I had one other relationship and it was pure hell.I think you need to head on down to Class.I don't want to talk about the past."Leigh walks out and Maria stands in the hall and says to herself"Burt Corbin deserves what he gets."
   At The Farm,Bree wakes up and yells for her Uncle and doesn't hear him and she looks out the living room window to notice Frank's truck is gone and Bree gets her phone to call him and doesn't get a response.There's a knock on the door and Bree sees Burt and unlocks the door and Burt walks inside and Bree slaps him forcefully and yells"You son of a bitch!"Burt tells his Wife"I don't know what to say Bree.I messed up."Bree yells"Damn right you messed up.You had sex with my Sister!"Burt looks at Bree and tells her"I did but she and I connected."Bree yells at Burt"Get the hell out of here.I am going to file for divorce and it's done between us."Burt pleads with his Wife"I love you Bree.What I had with Summer was a one time thing.I swear I won't do it again."Bree looks at her Husband and starts to cry and asks"Can I even believe you?"Burt tells his Wife"I can promise you that."Bree is hesitant to believe Burt and tells him"I won't go down the road Aunt Ava went down with my Mom.History does not need to repeat itself."Burt tells Bree"I know that.I want us to be a family and I want to be there for my child."Bree grows silent as she tells Burt"I want that also.But I don't know if I can take you back."Burt tells Bree"I understand."Frank walks inside and sees Burt and yells"I don't understand.Explain it to me you son of a bitch!"Burt tells Frank"I came here to talk to my Wife!I don't owe you nor Ava a damn thing!This is between Bree and I!"Frank punches Burt and tells him"Bree is like a daughter to me Burt.And I don't want to see her hurt and that's what you did,hurt her!"Bree tells her Uncle"Leave him alone.I don't want this to end our Marriage.I want to work things out."Bree hugs her Husband and Frank asks his Niece"You can't be serious?You're taking him back?"Bree reminds her Uncle"You have a history yourself Uncle Frank.You cheated on Aunt Beth multiple times over the years."Frank tells Bree"And Beth slept with my Daddy.You don't deserve a man like Burt."Burt tells Frank"I have never respected you nor will I ever respect you."Frank gets in Burt's face and warns him"If you ever hurt Bree again Burt Corbin,I will have you hanging out in my field like a scarecrow!"Frank looks at his Niece and tells her"I hope you know what you're doing."Bree responds"I do believe in second chances and I believe Burt to be sincere."Frank tells them"I'm headed to FJR.You're not welcome here Burt and neither is Summer as far as I am concerned!"Frank walks out and Bree tells Burt"Let's go to Jackson Inc.I need to work anyway."Burt and Bree heads to Jackson Inc.
   At Ciarra and Tenny's Penthouse,Sully and Jared sits at the kitchen table,as Ciarra finishes cooking breakfast and Ciarra asks them"So how did last night go?"Sully looks at her Great-Aunt and tells her"I really don't think you'd like to know the details."Ciarra tells them"I'm curious and I had a dream last night about the two of you."Sully asks her"What was your dream?"As Ciarra brings breakfast and orange juice to the table,she tells Sully and Jared"I had a dream that the two of you had a baby girl."Jared tells Ciarra"We are really trying.We've decided to have a kid and it would be ours.I want to have a connection with Sully that won't ever go away.A child that we create would be that connection."Ciarra tells them"You already have one thing and that is love.I know love when I see it.The two of you have what Tennessee calls The Sullivan Love."Sully asks"What does that mean?I have heard that so much over the years and I'd like to know what that means."Ciarra tells them"Jacob and I,Tennessee and J.D.,Xavier and Leigh,that is The Sullivan Love.It's a marriage that is forever connected and eternal.The two of you are just like we were and I think it's beautiful."Sully quips"Gran actually likes Jared also."Ciarra laughs"His last name isn't Jackson.The odds are going in his favor."Sully asks her Great Aunt"So how are you and Uncle Floyd doing?"Ciarra tells Sully and Jared"He understands that I am not looking for marriage and we have a great relationship,but we're moving slow.He and I come from two different worlds,but it's an adventure.He also accepts the fact that I will never love him like I did your Uncle Jacob."Sully tells her"Uncle Floyd's a great man.Do you think Gran will ever find someone?"Ciarra looks at Sully and tells her"Tennessee's heart is with one person and that is J.D..She doesn't show it,but when he died,she never recovered from it.I also don't think she's accepted it.That's why she is the way she is today."Jared gets a text from Xavier and tells Ciarra"Thanks for breakfast,but I got to head down to the office.Something's going on."Jared kisses his Wife and rushes out and Ciarra also gets a text and tells Sully"I think hell hill is about to reach Jackson Inc."Sully rolls her eyes and hugs Ciarra,as she heads to Class.Ciarra yells for Precious and he runs into the living room and Ciarra tells him"I think you're coming with me to the office."Ciarra and precious heads out.

   At Sassy's House,Latoya and Summer are in Little Sidney's nursery and Latoya tells Summer"I haven't heard anything from Rashad.Maybe he's going to bail because of his Grandma.I think he's too much of a Mama's boy."Summer reminds Latoya"Rashad has always been close to his Mother."Latoya looks at her son and tells Latoya"When tomorrow comes and Rashad doesn't show up.Then I will be leaving town without him!I have a career to look forward to.Rashad has a choice,his family,or me and our son!"Summer tries to remind Latoya"That isn't fair to him!"Latoya yells"Life isn't fair either."Latoya changes subjects as Summer's phone rings and she answers it to find Burt on the other line,as he tells Summer"Wherever you are,stay there.Bree knows and so does Ava."Summer hangs up and has a look of dread as Latoya asks Summer"And what are you hiding?"Summer looks down and tells Latoya"I think I may come to L.A. with you."Latoya tells Summer"Come on.If Rashad doesn't make a decision by the time it comes for me to leave town,then we're done.I can't wait for him."Downstairs,Sassy sits in the living room,as she has packed her things and there's a knock at the door and Sassy answers the door and it's Bree.Bree asks Sassy"Where is Summer?"Sassy responds"Upstairs with Latoya and Little Sidney."Bree walks towards Latoya's room and Sassy watches with caution and her phone rings and it's Jermaine and he tells Sassy"Come to Jazz."Sassy tells him"I'm packed and ready to go.I think I may need to stay here."Bree opens Latoya's door and Summer freezes when Bree looks at Latoya and tells her"You and your son may want to leave us be for a moment."Latoya picks up Little Sidney and heads downstairs and Bree looks at Summer and is red with anger and she calmly asks Summer"Is there something you're keeping from me?"Summer quickly answers"No."Bree asks the question again and Summer once again responds"No."Bree then forcefully slaps her sister in the face as she pulls out the picture of Summer and Burt and asks her"Are you sure Summer?"Summer runs out of the room and quickly exits Sassy's house,as Sassy and Latoya are both shocked and they look at Bree as she walks towards the door and Sassy asks Bree"What is wrong?"Bree tells them"Summer is having sex with my husband and I hope she's ready for what she's about to get.
    Meanwhile Xavier and Leigh are at Ciarra and Tenny's Penthouse,as Ciarra tells Xavier and Leigh her information on Wallace's and the Manning family.Ciarra tells them"Wallace Manning Sr was a good man and his first stores were very well run and operated.He got married to a woman from the South,and when that happened,he changed."Xavier and Leigh listens on as Ciarra fills them in on the Manning family history and Ciarra tells her Great Nephew and Leigh"When Tennessee sold Sullivan's to Wallace's,she wasn't thinking rationally and Wallace Sr had died mysteriously many years earlier and your Grandmother got a raw deal.They were killing stores left and right and we had them in our grasps for years,but you know the story Xavier."Xavier sighs and says"Yep.And now they are going after Jim's and Foodstar's customers and will try to do the same thing to us,they did to Sullivan's."Ciarra assures Xavier"You have a much better staff than we had.At least you can trust Burt and Jared.I destroyed Sullivan's the moment I let Lily get into the business.She stole money and it hurt us.You have everything under control and I think you can beat Wallace's.People will get tired of them after awhile.I checked them out as well and I wasn't impressed.Wallace Manning Sr would roll in his grave if he knew what Wallace's has become.If he isn't already doing flips."Xavier looks at his Great Aunt and Wife and tells them"Sounds like I have what I need to take them on."Xavier asks Ciarra"Have you heard from Grandma?"Ciarra tells Xavier and Leigh"Not in awhile.Hopefully she is resting somewhere and she's letting Olivia drive.I am scared knowing she's driving cross country in that Camaro and we know Tennessee."Xavier and Leigh both shake their heads.As for Tenny and Olivia,they are on the Interstate and Tenny yawns and Olivia tells Tenny"We need to pull over and get a room for the night.You can barely keep your eyes open."Tenny asks Olivia"What does that sign say?"Olivia takes a deep breath and says"That's the Speed Limit."Tenny quips"The bright lights blinds me."Olivia tells Tenny in a serious tone"We need to check into a motel on the next exit."Tenny tells Olivia"You have tried this when we stopped earlier and you tried to take my keys.I don't trust you Olivia."Olivia tells her"It will be morning tomorrow and you can see better then.Pull over and let's call it a night."Tenny pulls off on the next exit and speeds up,as she runs the red light,and makes an illegal turn into a Motel and Tenny spins the car into a parking space and turns the car off and tells Olivia"That wasn't bad was it?"Olivia gets out of the Camaro,as she kisses the asphalt and breathes a sigh of relief as Tenny yells"Wipe your mouth when you get in here.There may be inbred cooties on that asphalt.We are in the middle of nowhere."Olivia walks inside and says to herself"I will be driving the rest of the way."
    Meanwhile at Burt and Bree's Mansion,Burt sits in the living room,as he tries to figure out a way to get out of his mess and he picks up the phone to call Bree and she ignores his call and he heads upstairs and he gets a text from Summer and she tells him"Bree is with Uncle Frank."Burt texts back"Nobody's here."Summer tells him"Open the door."Burt opens the door and Summer kisses Burt and tells him"I am leaving town,but before I do,I want to make love to you one last time."Burt tells Summer"I don't think it's a good idea Summer."Summer takes off Burt's robe and takes off her blouse and says to him in a seductive tone"I think it is."Burt gives in to Summer as they head upstairs to Burt and Bree's bedroom,as they have sex.At The Farm,Bree sits on the couch as Frank asks his Niece"Why don't you head back home to Burt.He is the Father of your child."Bree tells her Uncle with tears in her eyes"He acts like he doesn't even want a child.Ever since we've married,he has been distant."Frank hugs his Niece and assures her"I'm here for you and so is the family.Even Xavier."Bree asks Frank"Mind if I stay here tonight?"Frank tells her gently"Go make yourself comfortable."Bree heads to her old room and Frank sits in his chair and says to himself"You've messed up Burt."At Whispering Hills,Ava sits in the living room,as she takes a drink and Winston walks out of his study and warns Ava"Don't even think about hurting my Son!He is the only child I have left and he's loyal to me."Ava responds with a buzz"But he sure isn't faithful to my niece and he will pay for it.And so will Summer."Floyd meanwhile arrives after getting Ava's message from Maria and tells his Niece"So Corbin slept with Summer?"Ava responds as she takes another drink from the liquor bottle"Oh yes he is.And he is about to regret it."Floyd tells Ava"I'll go visit the son of a bitch tonight."Winston yells at both of them"None of you will do a damn thing to my son!Let Burt and Bree work this out on their own!I mean it Ava!"Winston storms into his study and slams the door and Ava tells her Uncle"He'll be at Jackson Inc in the morning.I'll be there also."Floyd hugs Ava and tells her as he heads home"I'll be waiting for his arrival."Floyd leaves and Ava takes another drink and says to herself"I'm not going to let happen to me happen to Bree!"Ava heads upstairs to the bedroom,as Winston calls Burt and doesn't get an answer and Winston says to himself"Son you are messing up.This isn't going to end well."

the most selfish person I've ever met!You gave away your son!"Latoya tells her Mother"I don't have time to be a Mother.I have a career to go after."Sassy warns Latoya"You are making the biggest mistake of your life!"Latoya yells back"If you don't support it then you can stay here too!"Latoya slams the door and Sassy stands in the hall,with her head down with a look of disgust on her face.At City Hospital,Terrance and Beth returns to the ICU and walks inside Willie's room,as Ruth is asleep in the chair,holding Willie's hand and Beth tells Terrance,as she checks Willie's vitals"She's hanging in there."Terrance looks at Beth and tells her"In the morning,I'll talk to Aretha and Uncle Clem and see if they want to try what we found out earlier."Beth holds Terrance's hand and tells him"There's no guarantees,but it may be the only way to save her."At The Evans Home,Aretha stands on the porch,as she has flashbacks to growing up and she feels someone's hand touch her shoulder and it's Sayyid and he gently tells his Niece"Open the door Aretha."Aretha opens the door and walks inside and sees all the decorations hanging on the wall for Little Sidney's homecoming from City Hospital and Aretha walks around silently and looks around and tells her Uncle,with tears and sadness in her eyes"She has so much to live for.She can't die Uncle Clem.She can't die."Aretha falls to her knees and screams as Sayyid bends down to console her.Willie and Sidney's spirit are in the living room and Willie looks at her Husband and he tells his Wife"It's your choice Willie.From what I've seen,our family needs you more than I do right now."Willie looks at Sidney and cries"I have prayed to be with you again."Sidney tells his Wife"You are the rock of the Evans family and Aretha,Terrance,Rashad,and my namesake,Sidney needs you more Willie."Willie tells Sidney"I'm ready to join you."Meanwhile Rashad and Little Sidney arrive and Aretha and Sayyid turns around as Rashad tells them"Latoya gave me my son and it's over."Aretha hugs her son,as Sayyid holds his Great-Great Nephew and Sidney and Willie watches on as Willie looks at her Husband,and he has tears in his eyes,as does Willie as both watch on and then turn to each other and walk out of the door.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 191. The Broken Road

   At City Hospital,Beth stands in the waiting room of the ICU with Aretha,Terrance,and Sayyid as they look at each other and Aretha asks her brother with fear in her voice"Will Mama be herself again?"Terrance looks at his sister and stares at her quietly and somberly responds"I can't tell you."Beth gets a text from Ciarra and tells Terrance"I have to go,but if you need me,I'm a phone call away.'Aretha,Terrance,and Sayyid tells Beth"Thank you for being here."Beth tells them"I won't tell you she will survive or she will be fine.If I did,then I'd get your hopes up.With a hemorrhagic stroke,it's much worse than your typical stroke."Aretha hangs onto her Brother and Uncle as she cries"This is the same thing that took other members of our family."Sayyid looks at Aretha and tells his Niece"We all know Willie is a fighter and she's not ready to go."Rashad heads upstairs with Latoya and Little Sidney,Sassy,Summer,and Jermaine and Beth takes a deep breath and hugs the Evans family as she leaves.Rashad asks his Mother"Will Grandma survive?"Terrance tells the family"Mama has a statement that she does not want life support unless she will 100% recover,and sadly we need to take that into consideration.Whether or not she survives isn't the question.But rather what is the right thing to do.What would Mama want us to do?"Rashad tells his Uncle"I want to see her scans."Terrance looks at his nephew and tells him"You should just go with Latoya and be with your son."Latoya tells Rashad"He's right and we need to get ready to go to L.A.."Rashad turns around and tells Latoya"My Grandmother may be on her deathbed.I am not leaving my family!"Rashad holds onto his Mother as Aretha looks at Latoya,Sassy,Summer,and Jermaine and tells them"Take care of my Grandson.Go to Sassy's for now until Rashad returns."Latoya yells at Rashad"What about me and our son?"Sassy warns Latoya"This is not the time.We're going to my house!"Sassy apologizes to Aretha and she takes Latoya and Little Sidney to her home and tells her daughter"Rashad is in the worst scenario he could be in.Don't start thinking about yourself."Summer goes with Sassy,Latoya,and Little Sidney,as Sayyid asks Jermaine"Where is my son?"Jermaine tells Sayyid"Keith's at Jazz right now.He's finishing things up before he leaves for L.A."Sayyid tells Jermaine"Once I know about Willie,I'll be there."Jermaine heads out and Terrance and Aretha stand by Rashad,as does Sayyid,as they go into Willie's room,where she's in a coma and Terrance tells them"This isn't right.We need to make a decision."
   At Jackson Inc,Xavier sits in his office,as he intently reads the expansion maps for Wallace's,and their sales reports and he grows furious,as he gets up from his desk and looks out of the window as he considers his options.Jared walks inside and tells Xavier"Country is in Burt's office.He's about to kill him!"Xavier and Jared rushes out of Xavier's office.In Burt's office,Country sits at Burt's desk and says to him"So Bree wasn't good enough and you had sex with Summer.I be damned!"Burt asks Country"Why would you even care?It's not like you ever gave a damn about my Wife before and now you want to play Dad?"Country gets up and aims his pistol at Burt and tells him"I guess so.You're right.But I am Bree's Daddy and if you should study up some on how Jamie Marx worked.That chapter needs to be closed and it will be if I have anything to do with it."Burt gets angry and tells Country"I am not having sex with Summer!Now get the hell out of my office!"Xavier walks inside with Jared and yells at Country"I need to talk to you!"Country looks at Burt and reminds him"We're not finished yet."Burt tells him"Yes we are."Jared stays in Burt's office,as he asks Burt"Is he right?Are you sleeping with Summer?"Burt grows silent and tells Jared"We need to focus on Wallace's than worry about my personal life."Jared asks"So I take it you are sleeping with Summer?"Burt tries to change subjects and Jared warns Burt"Summer Marx is the worst mistake you can ever make.Once you had her,she never gives up."Burt is quiet and tells Jared"I made my mistakes."Outside,Xavier reminds Country"Didn't I tell you to stay quiet and let Bree find out for herself?"Country tells Xavier"I screwed up royally with Jamie and I am ready to try to be Bree's Father X.I don't want her to be the next Ava."Xavier tells Country"I can promise you that won't happen.Bree's very strong and she was married to Michael Barr and he slept with Jamie."Country tells Xavier"But Burt is sleeping with her sister."Xavier pulls out his phone and tells Country"I have all I need in case I have to use it,but instead I'll send it to you.It might be better this way."Xavier sends his picture of Burt and Summer to Country and tells him"Now you can tell your Daughter,but leave Burt alone.He's worked for me for many years and we need him now.Wallace's has made a war cry and I need everyone here at Jackson Inc to be ready because this one will be dirty."Country asks"Wallace's?Isn't that a Department Store?"Xavier corrects Country"Discount Store.They have entered the grocery business and they are now number one in the nation.They have destroyed many grocers,discounters on the road to the top spot.And I'll be damned if they'll destroy me!"Country looks at Xavier and tells him"I got what I need now.I will be watching Burt."Country leaves and Xavier walks into Burt's office and looks at Burt and Jared and tells both of them"We need to get ready for war.Wallace's are about to meet their match with me!"
   Meanwhile at FJR,Frank arrives and The Team Director tells him"He's waiting for you."Frank heads into his office where Wallace Manning Jr sits and looks at Frank and says"Frank Jackson.The man I want to meet."Frank looks at Wallace and asks him"I thought Wallace's didn't do sponsorships?"Wallace responds"We don't,but we are about to move Southeast,and with our sponsorship of FJR,then it meets our bottom line.I just have one condition."Frank asks Wallace"And what would that condition be?"Wallace tells Frank"My son,Wally Manning wants a career in racing and I will sponsor FJR,if you put him in your top ride.I will sponsor both cars!"Frank tells Wallace"I don't hire pay drivers.I hire drivers that want to win."Wallace reminds Frank"I hear that money makes The Stock Car League survive and the teams.I would have thought you were more modern."Frank looks at Wally Manning's results in the lower series and tells Wallace"He only has one win and his record doesn't look good."Wallace smiles and tells Frank"That is why he will need you to help him develop into the next racing legend.Like you Frank."Frank asks Wallace"What if I put Wally in a lower division ride?"Wallace shakes his head and tells Frank"Either he gets a top ride or you will be out of the racing business.I know how this works and you're on a tightrope right now."Frank begrudgingly tells Wallace"I will put him in my car and let him drive for a few weeks."Wallace adds"The rest of the year.No Wally,then no money.It's up to you."Frank shakes his head and Wallace pulls out his briefcase and tells Frank"Looks like Wallace/FJR Racing will be the top dog when the next race starts."Frank signs the contracts and asks Wallace"So where is Wally?"Wallace tells Frank"He'll be ready for the race."Wallace walks out and tells Frank"You have just helped me out tremendously.We will both reap in the dollars now!"Wallace walks out and Frank reads the contracts and shakes his head,as he reads Wally Manning's race results and says to himself"I screwed up."Frank gets his phone to call Cale,but he gets his voicemail,and Frank says to himself"Time to visit my Son."Frank leaves and tells The Team Director"Wallace's will be the Team Sponsor of FJR."Frank hands him the contracts,as he heads out and The Team Director looks at the contracts and says to himself"You should have read this better boss."The Team Director has a look of defeat on his face as he reads on with disapproval.
   At Hell Hill,Maria,Floyd,and Bree are in the kitchen with Ruth as Shannon is upstairs with Gracie and Xavier Jr,and Ruth tells them"I am fine.I really don't want to talk about Connie Stone anymore.She is dead and she will stay that way."Bree asks her Grandmother"What would possess you to kill somebody?You have never done anything like that before."Floyd tells Bree"Your Gramdma was quite the scrapper in the old days.I will never forget when Brock had that affair and Ruth found out."Maria and Bree looks at Floyd as Ruth tells him"Don't bring that up Floyd."Floyd reminisces"Ruth found out Brock was sleeping with his secretary down at Jackson Inc,and Ruth went down there once she found out about it from Willie,and all I will say is that I'd hate to be that girl."Ruth tells them"Willie and I just went to pay her a friendly visit."Floyd laughs"If stitches and reconstructive surgery is what you call a friendly visit,then I am really scared now."Ruth points her finger at Floyd and reminds him"I just stomped her ass.She deserved it and then she left town and never came back."Floyd tells Maria and Bree"Brock was even scared of Ruth."Ruth laughs,as does Maria and Bree and Ruth tells them"I'm not a young lady now so I have to use a pistol instead of my fists.And Willie isn't young either so we couldn't do now what we did then."Ruth's phone rings and she notices it's from Aretha and tells everyone"Aretha doesn't call me often."Ruth walks into the living room as Bree tells her Great-Uncle"I'd love to hear some more stories about Grandma's mean streak.I wouldn't think she ever had one."Floyd quips"With her life growing up,you had to be tough and it wasn't easy being my the Wife of Brock Jackson Sr.Ruth paid many mistresses a visit."Bree asks"Beth married him and even had a child with him and it's weird that Grandma thinks of Beth as a Daughter."Maria agrees with Bree and Floyd tells them"Beth did the one thing Ruth asks for and that was forgiveness.And Ruth and Beth have always been close."Ruth walks back into the kitchen and Floyd,Bree,and Maria looks at Ruth as she has a look of horror on her face and says slowly"Willie had a massive stroke and they need me."Bree asks her Grandmother"Do you want me to go with you?"Maria and Floyd also volunteers and Ruth tells them"Just pray.I am headed down there now."Ruth walks out and Floyd tells his Daughter and Great-Niece"She was short with words."Bree tells them"Willie Evans and Grandma are practically sisters."Floyd warns them"From the look on her face,it's not good."
   At Allison and Cale's apartment,Cale looks at Jesse and his new Wife,and tells them"I think when we meet again,we need to do it somewhere else.Allison could walk in any minute."Jesse's wife tells Cale"She will just have to deal with it.I am back and I am not going anywhere."Cale looks at her and tells her"You are walking with a target on your back being in town.Didn't you leave town and vow to never return?"Desi laughs"Adam's Landing is home.And Jesse and I plan to stay here and move his team here as well."Jesse is all smiles as Cale tells Jesse"I will be at the next race.But this will be it.Allison will not approve."Desi tells Cale"It's your career Cale and you're not Allison's husband.Who cares what she thinks."Cale yells"I do!And she will not approve at all that you are in her apartment!She lost her career because of your son!"Jesse warns Cale"Don't bring up the past now.Let's look towards the future.And possibly getting Xavier to sponsor you."Cale quips"Once he learns of who you're married to,you can forget that happening."Jesse and Desi leaves and Jesse advises Cale"Don't let your personal feelings stop you from your career.We can do great things."They leave and Cale sits down and asks himself"Did I just see what I think I did?"There's a knock at the door and Cale goes to answer the door to find Frank and Cale tells his Father"I think we have said all we need to say to each other."Frank tells his Son"I'm sorry about everything Cale.I really am."Cale looks at his Father as Frank tells his son"I was too caught up in my career to be a Father.I always hoped you were well and I'd asks Claudia and she'd tell me you were ok and well and like an idiot,I believed her."Cale tells him"Just because Connie is dead means you get a free pass.I don't forgive easily and you broke our bond.You will have to prove to me that you are sincere before I open my doors for you again Frank."Frank looks at his son,and he wipes a tear from his eyes as he takes a deep breath and replies"And I deserve that.Cale.Just know I'm here now and if you need me,I'm here and willing to do anything I have to do to prove that."Cale tells his Father"Just give me time."Frank walks out the door as Cale walks over to the couch and calls Allison and tells her"I got something to tell you.You won't like it."
   At Class,Leigh and Marco sits in Sully's office as she and Allison arrives and Leigh asks them"Did you find out anything?"Sully tells her Mother"Grandma has arrived and she told us to leave.Aunt Ciarra is pacing the floor and nobody's heard a word from Gran.But she took a pistol,and her weed."Marco asks"Tenny Sullivan is a stoner?"Leigh quips"She's full of surprises."Allison looks at Sully as her phone rings and it's her Mother Olivia and she tells her Daughter"Tenny and I are driving to Los Angeles together.We're on the interstate now and I need to get off the phone."Allison hangs up and she tells everyone"Grandma's headed with Mom to L.A.And it's by car."Leigh and Sully tells Allison"That is a scary thought."On the Interstate,in a Black Camaro,Olivia sits in the passenger seat,as Tenny sits behind the wheel and quickly turns the steering wheel,as she's over the speed limit and Olivia asks Tenny with caution"Should you be driving Tenny?You are scaring the hell out of me."Tenny throws her marijuana pouch at Olivia and responds"Fire one up and calm down.I don't let nobody drive my car."Olivia lights a joint and Tenny takes a hand off the wheel and grabs the pouch and Olivia yells"Tenny!"Tenny pulls out a joint as she lights it up and Olivia scolds her"You need to be watching the road!"A tractor-trailer truck driver yells at Tenny"Pay attention you old woman!"Tenny gives him the finger and tells Olivia"People these days.I just don't understand them."Olivia takes a hit and tells Tenny"When we make a stop,I'm driving.You scare me."Tenny sees the welcome sign as they've crossed the state line and tells Olivia"We won't be making any stops around here.Scary people out here."Olivia looks at the gas gauge and tells Tenny"The arrow is close to E."Tenny looks and quips"I didn't know that.What does E stand for?"Olivia rolls her eyes as Tenny follows the Tractor-Trailer and as he pulls off the Interstate,Tenny makes a quick turn and yells"I need to let out some aggression."Olivia mutters to herself"I should have stayed at the airport."
   At Ciarra and Tenny's Penthouse,Beth sits in the living room and Ciarra tells her Niece"The thought of Tennessee driving to California is scary as hell."Beth responds as Olivia has send them a text"Mama scares me when she's just driving down the street.Maybe she will let Olivia drive.It's getting dark and Mama does not need to be driving at night."Ciarra looks at Beth and asks her"If you think Tennessee is about to let go of the driver's seat Beth,then maybe you're losing it.Tennessee won't let nobody drive that Camaro.I won't ride with her.I did that one time,when Xavier was in the hospital and I won't do that again."Beth laughs and reminds her Aunt"You scare me yourself sometimes.Neither of you are young women anymore."Ciarra reminds Beth"Don't tell that to Tennessee.She thinks she's still 40 years old and she is full of surprises."Beth quips,as she pulls a joint out and lights it up"At least we know Olivia's with Mama and she will keep us updated."Ciarra asks Beth"Why are you smoking reefer Beth?"Beth tells her Aunt"I've done this most of my life.Not cigarettes.Just marijuana.With the scenario at City Hospital right now,I need to relax and prepare myself."Ciarra and Precious walks over and Ciarra asks her Niece"What's wrong at City Hospital?"Beth tells Ciarra"Willie Evans had a hemorrhagic stroke today and she's not going to make it.Terrance is the Chief Of Staff of City Hospital and Willie Evans and Ruth grew up together.They are basically sisters.Sidney was a runner for B.R. years ago and died earlier this year."Ciarra grabs Beth's hand and asks her"Does Ruth know about Willie?"Beth tells Ciarra"I haven't told her,but I imagine she knows by now."Ciarra walks over and pulls out a bottle of wine and pours a glass and tells Beth"I think there's going to be some friction soon in the Jackson family."Beth quips"With everything that's going on,I'd imagine so."Ciarra tells Beth"I think more is coming.Burt has been acting weird the last few times I've seen him."Beth takes a deep toke and looks at her Aunt and says"I take it Burt's cheating on Bree.Burt never stayed faithful.I just wonder who's the mistress."Ciarra takes a drink and responds"Me too Beth."
    Meanwhile at Jackson Inc,Xavier stands in Burt's office,as Jared stands next to his Father In Law as Xavier tells Burt and Jared"We need to strategize when it comes to Wallace's.They are going for broke and they have all the things they need to come into Adam's Landing and put us under."Burt tells Xavier"We're going to have be more aggressive on our pricing.Wallace's is cutthroat.Jim's and Foodstar are their models when it comes to the grocery business."Jared tells them"One thing I noticed was they didn't have a meat or a seafood department.It's all pre-packaged.We got them beat in both of those categories."Xavier reminds Jared"That's one of their tactics to beat us.That saves them money and one thing my Papaw taught me was that if you're going to run a Grocery Store,then you have a butcher in there."Burt tells Xavier"Maybe we should consider getting into the Discount game.Go head to head with Wallace's."Xavier tells them bluntly"I run a Grocery Store and as far as I'm concerned,we're still the top Grocer in America.I won't change the golden rules of retail to keep up with Wallace's!What I plan to do is pay that store on the edge of town a visit and walk around."Jared tells Xavier"It's huge and I wasn't impressed."Xavier quips"They were never impressive.Even when they were a traditional Discount Store,they failed to impress.They always slashed prices and hurt industry.Grandma sold Sullivan's to Wallace's years ago and if one person knows how to beat Wallace's.."Burt and Jared respond at the same time"Tenny."Xavier nods and replies"She knows about the Mannings.But she isn't here."Burt tells Xavier"Wallace Manning Sr's son runs the company now and they all own a percentage of Wallace's and they are moving their headquarters to Adam's Landing very soon."Xavier looks at Jared and Burt and tells them"The Mannings won't like their reception either.I can promise that!"Xavier walks out and returns to his office and Burt and Jared discuss strategy and when Xavier  walks inside his office,he turns on the TV and an announcement comes over the screen and Xavier's eyes turn red as he says"Wallace/FJR?Hell no!"
