Frank tells Cale, Allison, and Rashad "This upcoming race is the most important race you've ever raced. I don't expect nothing less than a 1-2-3 finish in Lafayette." Cale assures his Father, as does Allison and Rashad "We won't settle for nothing less. We're out to win this weekend!" Frank tells them "Xavier has approved of the paint schemes, and asked that we run them the rest of the year. Since he sponsors FJR, he thinks it's a very moving tribute." Cale tells his Father "I think so too Dad. Grandma would be honored." Frank tells his Son "She would." Frank tells them "Let's go look at your cars." They head into the shop, and Cale's car is painted white, with Ruth's Picture on the hood, with her name on the sides.

Allan is stunned, as Nathan says to Olivia, in a scared tone "She was fine eariler." Olivia responds "Yes she was Nathan, but she died and I couldn't save her." Nathan screams "What in the hell happened to my Mom? Did someone kill her? If they did, I will put a damn bullet in them! My Mom can't be dead! She just can't be." Nathan grows angry, and Allan hugs his Son, and comforts him, as Olivia tells Nathan "I have a feeling someone over-medicated her. I ordered an autopsy, and once the results return, then we'll have our answers." Nathan yells "Who could have done it?" Olivia sighs "I think I have a clue, but I'm not certain." Nathan tells Olivia "Let's get to the Hospital now! Whoever did this will pay with their pathetic ass life!"

I know about what happened." Desi tells Mona "I really screwed up Mona. I really screwed up." Mona quips "You're lucky to be alive! Maybe now you will leave Class the hell alone and help me with Wallace's." Desi asks Mona "Are you serious?" Mona goes "Hell yes! Fancy's off in Europe looking for Wallace, and Winston's in the Hospital, I'm running things on my own, and I want to offer you a job here working for me." Desi looks at Mona, and tells her friend "Give me some time to think about it. I went to visit Michael for a few days after I was released from The Storm Shelter, and he's not well." Mona asks her "What's wrong with him?" Desi tells Mona "He's been beaten up pretty bad by some thugs in the Prison. I'm really scared for him." Mona asks Desi "I noticed you have a for sale sign in front of your home Desi? Are you thinking about moving?" Desi looks at Mona, and tells her "I had some quiet time to think, and I need to better myself. Living here, I don't have anything." Mona coughs, and reminds her "You have me Desi." Desi also reminds Mona "You are the only person I have here Mona. Rachel and I are too far gone, and I noticed some things in Unity that disturbed me." Mona asks her "Like?" Desi tells Mona "I need a new start, and with the money I make off my home, and my overseas accounts, I think I could make a difference in Unity. I found a space at this small mall that's the perfect size for a Department Store, and I am looking into it." Mona looks at Desi, and asks her "Are you sure you want to leave Adam's Landing, and leave this opportunity? I mean Desi, you would have the upper hand over Xavier, and Jackson Inc? I know that's what you want." Desi looks at Mona, and tells her friend "After Ruth's death, I have realized I need to be there for my family, and Michael needs me." Mona looks at Desi, and tells her "Unity isn't too far away Desi, and you can go visit him anytime you please. I just don't want you to leave town." Desi heads to the door, and tells Mona "I have a lot of thinking to do. We'll have to see." Desi walks out, as Mona sits at her desk, as she's scared of losing her best friend.

Many arrests, and apparently his Parents were killed in a drive by when he was 11 years old." Sayyid starts to cry, and Aretha asks her Uncle "Ok Uncle Clem, you are too immersed in this young man, what are you hiding?" Sayyid looks at his Niece, and tells her "Aretha, I know quite a bit about Andre, and like I have said, until I get facts, then I will explain everything. Find his Birth Certificate." Aretha looks up Andre's Birth Certificate, and her eyes widen, and she tells her Uncle "You want to see this." Sayyid looks, as does Aretha, as she asks her Uncle "I don't believe this at all Uncle Clem." Sayyid reads the names, and goes "Shit. That explains a lot." Aretha, in a shocked tone, responds "Yes it does. Your instinct was spot on." Sayyid looks at his Niece, and tells her "Thank you for helping me Aretha."

The nurse arrives to carry Jake to check him out, and outside, Bree sits in the Waiting Area, as Ava sits next to her Niece, and asks her "So why would you be here Bree?" Bree tells her Aunt "That baby's either my niece or nephew, and Summer needs some support." Ava looks at Bree, and tells her "You are very strong, like your Grandma. I could never do what you're doing." Bree tells her "It's tough, but I knew Summer would need support, and Grandma wanted us to be one, so I'm honoring that."
