   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.
