   At City Hospital, Sully, Jared, and Ciarra has arrived, along with Wallace, as Olivia and Terrance awaits, and Willie arrives, as does Frank and Bree, and Frank asks Terrance "So Ava's dead?" Terrance looks at Frank and Bree, as Frank says in a somber tone "I'm the last child left now." Bree and Willie consoles Frank, as Bree gets emotional as well, as Willie asks her Son "How did Aretha take the news?" In Valley Ridge, Aretha sits in a room at the Valley Lodge, as Xavier sits across, as her warns Aretha "Don't repeat a damn word I say or this plan will fail!" Aretha smiles, as she tells Xavier "I just pity the bitch that pissed Ava off." Xavier coldly responds "And she will be dead once I see her, and her Son." Back in Adam's Landing, Bobby, Country, and Floyd are brought in by paramedics, as Olivia looks at Terrance and yells "Where's Beth!" At Hell Hill, Beth stands in the living room, with her hand on her Pistol, as Angelica turns around and looks at Beth, as she picks up J.J., and Samantha grows scared, and Angelica laughs "Eve (Santiago) is dead Beth. Twins can play games with people. Eve was mine. She was who Xavier killed. I however live, and now I am in control of things." Angelica looks at her Son, as she looks at Samantha, and tells Beth "Well then, you have waved your white flag. I killed your family, and it was great." Beth quips "Yes you did. And I have nothing to lose. Now leave this house, or I will kill you, and Clayton for good." Angelica tells Clayton "Put down my Great-Grandson." Angelica walks over to Samantha, and coldly tells her "You aren't worthy of being a part of my family, and if I were you, I'd hold J.J. tight. He may be gone." Angelica and Clayton walks out, as Samantha yells "Why didn't you kill her Beth?" Beth looks at Samantha, and tells her "What she doesn't know will hurt her."
   Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Eve Mathis has returned as Sayyid waits, and Eve asks him "Where are you going?" Sayyid has his briefcase under the table, as he tells Eve "I have something to do. I'm on my way out." Eve tells him "If I knew Rachel wasn't pregnant, I'd let you kill her also." Eve tries to get Sayyid to tell her where he's going, and he stops her, and says "I can't say a damn word." Sayyid gets up, and hugs Eve, and tells her "Keith's coming back tomorrow with Andre, and you stay out of trouble." Sayyid heads out, as he's been notified by Aretha and Xavier, and heads to Valley Ridge, as Eve sits behind to call River, which he doesn't respond, and Eve heads out, as she returns to The Evans Home.
   In Rachel's Suite, Rachel rubs her stomach, as she smiles "You got so many great possibilities for a Daddy. We're going to have so much fun making Eve Mathis, and Beth Jackson, and Ava, Aretha, all those bitches angry, and none of them can hurt me." At Tenny's Penthouse, Nathan and Rose has returned, as have Allan, as Tenny sits in her living room in a despondent tone, as she calls the Hospital, and looks at her Son, Grandson, and Rose, and tells them "I'm going to check on my Sister, and family." Nathan looks at his Grandmother, and tells her "Grandma, I have something to tell you." Tenny fires a joint, as she notices the looks from Allan and Rose's eyes, and asks "What is it?" Nathan tells Tenny "Rachel Lane could be carrying my child." Tenny takes a deep toke, and goes "I hope that was an attempt to make me laugh." Rose and Allan both confirm what Nathan says, and Tenny asks "Does Beth know yet?" Allan sighs "Likely so Mama. She confirmed the pregnancy." Tenny looks at them, as Precious runs out of his room, and Tenny tells them "I'm going down to City Hospital, and Rachel's a whore. We'll find out who the sperm king is for her spawn." Tenny struts out, and Allan warns his Son "I think after what happened today, you should have stayed quiet." Nathan responds "I don't believe I'm the Father of Rachel's child Dad." Allan asks his Son "Where is Rachel staying?" Nathan tells him, and Allan tells his Son "I'm about to see what I can find out." Allan heads out, as Rose looks at Nathan, and Rose asks "Do you really think.." Nathan responds "I don't know Rose."
   Meanwhile back at City Hospital, Olivia and Terrance are both stunned that Xavier isn't there, and Beth walks back inside, as she reads Sully, Jared, and Ciarra's charts, and Beth sighs "Poor Jared." Dr.Victoria Martin, a leading Doctor from Valley Ridge walks out of Jared's triage, and tells Beth "Dr.Jackson, Jared may be paralyzed, he can't feel anything below his neck." Beth is silent, as she continues to read, and asks Terrance "So Sully had heart complications?" Terrance and Olivia nods, and Frank runs inside, as he yells "Ava is dead?" Bree tries to stop her Uncle, as he's riddled with pain, and Beth looks at them, and says "She and Winston didn't make it. Mona Manning also died. Leigh however wasn't found, and Xavier has disappeared." Bree asks Beth "You aren't showing much emotion Aunt Beth?" Beth is quick to the point, as she responds "My entire family's in this Hospital, and I don't know what to do." Wallace meanwhile walks out, and sees Frank and looks at his Father, as he asks him "I need you Dad." Frank punches Wallace in the face, and yells "I may have been the one who helped create you, but I'm not your damn Father you piece of shit! Go back home!" Wallace cries, as he's hurt from Frank's rejection, and the fact Mona's dead.
   Meanwhile in Sully's Room, Sully lays in a hospital bed, as she asks Olivia "How's Jared?" Olivia assures Sully "He's alive." Sully looks at Olivia, and tells her "Something else is going on?" Olivia sighs "Let's just be thankful right now he's alive Sully." Olivia walks out, as she looks inside Jared's room, as Beth checks on her Son in Law, as he's hooked to a ventilator, as he's paralyzed and can't breathe on his own, and Beth has a look of anger in her eyes, as she silently walks out of the room, ignoring Olivia. In Ciarra's Room, Ciarra sits up in her bed, as Terrance brings Floyd inside, and Ciarra asks her Husband "Why are you here?" Floyd rubs the back of his head, and tells his Wife "Bobby, Country, and I were all hit with a brick. I told Terrance to bring me to the woman of my dreams." Ciarra looks at her Husband, and grabs his hand, as he tells her "I was so scared you were gone." Ciarra tells him "I can't go anywhere now." Floyd sighs "I heard about Ava and Winston." Ciarra is silent, as she tells her Husband "They will find peace Floyd." Floyd is sad, as he sighs "Only Frank and Xavier are left now of Brock's children." Ciarra mumbles "Yep."
   At the Holiday Motel, Angelica and Clayton sits together in his room, as she gets off the phone, and smiles, as she says "Your Father is finally dead, and so is Ava. But we didn't get rid of everyone." Clayton asks his Mother, changing subjects "So all this time, you were in a Prison in the Midwest, as Aunt Eve did your dirty work?" Angelica smiles "Yes Clayton. I traded places with her, and she and I both were stunning beauties, but nobody else knew Eve and I are twins." Clayton asks "Well how did you deal with Pedro or Cara?" Angelica quips "He knew who I was, and he knows what happens if he fails. It's not Eve Santiago people needed to fear, but your Mother." Clayton looks at his Mother, and asks "So what's next?" Angelica tells her Son "I want my Great Grandson in my control. He needs to realize who he is, a Hale. Hale's a better name and has more regal-ness to it, than Santiago, it has blood on it, and wasn't for me, Winston would still be a poor man in Valley Ridge, and now, he's dead." Angelica laughs, as she walks out of Clayton's room, and Clayton says to himself "You are worse than ever Mother."
   Meanwhile night has fallen, and at The Evans Home, Willie has returned, as Rashad, and Little Sidney are upstairs, as Eve stands in the kitchen, and Willie tells Eve "Clem just said he's leaving for business." Eve responds "Something's off with what happened in Valley Ridge." Willie looks at her dining room table, and she tells Eve "Well Thanksgiving will be sad this year." Eve responds "I know the feeling. I know Ava's family will be destroyed." Willie sighs, as she heads to bed for the night "Ava's with Ruth now and Jack. Likely a beautiful reunion." Willie heads upstairs, as Eve sits downstairs, and gets a phone call, and responds "Well I'll look forward to it. Just send it to Nathan, and I'll write the lyrics."
   Back at City Hospital, Beth, Terrance, Olivia, and Victoria stands in the hallway, as Frank and Bree has went home, and Beth tells them "Floyd, Country, Bobby, and Wallace has been released, Sully needs to rest and I've called Gabriella and I'm picking Ruthie up so she can come and be with Jared. Aunt Ciarra should be discharged in the morning." Olivia quips "She's lucky to have survived." Beth takes a deep breath, and tells them "I'm sure with Mama in there, she'll be feeling better soon." Inside Ciarra's Room, Tenny sits at her Sister's side, as Floyd sleeps in a chair, as Ciarra looks at Tenny, and Tenny looks at Ciarra, and Tenny scolds her Sister "Don't scare me like that again Oldest Sister." Ciarra smirks "Shut up Tennessee, and stop crying. I wasn't in a car wreck." Tenny sighs "Mall collapses can kill some, but it takes a car accident with us." Ciarra quips "We're tough old women." Tenny sighs "If only Ava would have made it." Ciarra holds Tenny's hand, and winks, and Tenny is silent, as she looks at Ciarra, and she shakes her head. In Sully's Room, Sully sleeps as Beth's given her medicine to help her relax, and Beth walks inside, and tells her Granddaughter "Your Daddy said he loved you, and tomorrow you'll see Ruthie." Beth kisses Sully, as she walks out, and Leigh stands outside, and Beth angrily asks Leigh "What in the hell are you doing here?" Leigh looks at Beth, and tells her "Nobody's stopping me from being away from my Children!" Beth rolls her eyes, as she warns Leigh "Make sure you rent a room at The Sunset Club. I don't want you at home!" Beth heads out, as Leigh walks inside Sully's Room.
   Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Rachel sits on her bed, wearing some lingerie, as Allan yells at Rachel "Now you tell me the damn truth Rachel! Who's the Father of that kid?" Rachel laughs "You sure you want to know Allan?" Allan yells "Hell yes I do!" Rachel takes off her top, and sighs "At least I'm not showing yet. Am I sexy Mr.James?" Allan looks at Rachel, as she walks over, and looks at him, and seductively says "I can give you things Aunt Olivia couldn't." Allan grows silent, as he looks at Rachel's naked body. At Tenny's Penthouse, Nathan and Rose sits next to each other, as Rose asks Nathan "Has Allan called you yet?" Nathan has a flashback to the studio eariler, and his eyes turn red. Back in Rachel's Suite, the camera rolls, as Allan looks at Rachel, and she wraps her legs around him, and he fights his temptations.
   At Hell Hill, Samantha sits in the living room, as J.J., Gracie, and Xavier Jr sleeps, and Samantha has a flashback, that sends chills up and down her spine, as she says to herself "I hate you Grandmother." At The Holiday Motel, Angelica sits in her room, as she writes a list of names, and says coldly "All of you should sleep tight. Because I'm now the one you should fear." In Valley Ridge, Sayyid has arrived at The Valley Lodge, as Xavier and Aretha greets him, as Xavier tells him "Follow us."

They arrive at Rachel's room, as Terrance stands inside, and Beth, Terrance, and Olivia all grow furious.Meanwhile at Nationwide Records, Nathan, Rose, and Eve sits in the producer's booth, as they listen to Eve's tracks, and Eve tells Nathan "I love it. This is going to be exactly what I want to say!" Nathan quips "I think your audience will be blown away when they hear this." Eve tells Nathan "Keeping up with the times.." Eve turns around, as does Nathan and Rose as Rachel walks in, and Eve snaps "Who released you?" Rachel struts over to Nathan, and jumps in his lap, as she kisses him on the face, as Rose grows angry, as does Eve, as Rachel tells Nathan "We're about to be Mommy and Daddy Daddy." Nathan is taken back, as Eve coldly responds "Well Nathan, you're not the only candidate on this whore's ballot for Daddies in the running!" Eve and Rose walks over to Rachel, as Nathan gets up, knocking Rachel on the floor, and Nathan snaps at Rachel "Get the hell out of here and don't come back again." Allan meanwhile walks inside, and senses the tension and asks "What's going on?" Rachel tells Allan "You're going to be a Grandpa."
   At Hell Hill, Samantha watches J.J., and his 2nd Cousins Gracie and Xavier Jr play, as she has the TV on in the background, as she's watching one of her favorite soaps, as is Tenny at Tenny's Penthouse. In the Storm Shelter at Hell Hill, Clayton screams at Floyd and Country, as he's been beaten "I won't say shit to either of you! Screw you! Screw all of you! When I am free, you will feel my wrath, though it's here." Floyd coldly tells Clayton, as he bends down and gets in his face "The only damn wrath anyone's going to feel is you, and how we take care of folks like you." Bobby walks inside, and asks Floyd and Country "Keeping Clayton comfortable?" Clayton snarls "Whitten." Bobby goes "D.A. Whitten."
  Back at FJR, Willie looks at her cards, as Frank looks at his, as Bree, Rashad, and Little Sidney watch on, as Willie goes "20". Frank lays down his cards, and smiles "Mama taught one person this trick. Nobody played cards with me either when we used to play cards when it was race weekends." Willie quips "I guess I will just feed you, and challenge you to a rematch!" Frank laughs, as he hugs Willie "Deal." Meanwhile an employee runs down the hall, as everyone in Frank's office notices, and they walk out into the hall, as they look up on the TV. At City Hospital, Beth, Olivia, and Terrance walks down the hall, towards Beth's office, as the nurses are silent, and Beth turns to them, and looks at the TV, as her eyes widen, and she freezes. At Tenny's Penthouse and Hell Hill, the news breaks in during the soaps, and Samantha steps back, as Tenny looks on at the TV, as Gabriella is silent, and Tenny asks Gabriella "Was this what you were seeing?" In Valley Ridge, The woman smiles "Well done." Across the road, Aretha, and all the media, and shoppers scatter frantically, as Northbrook Center imploded, as it begins to fall to the ground, with Xavier, Winston, Ava, Leigh, Sully, Jared, Ciarra, Mona, and Wallace inside.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 254. The Grand Opening: Part 1

  It's the next morning in Adam's Landing and at Hell Hill, Beth walks downstairs, as Samantha knocks on the door, and Beth answers and goes "Wow! All this time and we have yet to meet!" Samantha and J.J. walks inside, as Beth tells her "I'd really love to sit and chat, but I have to get down to the Hospital, and please take care of my Grandchildren." Beth hands Samantha a list of instructions, and Samantha reads and asks "Don't let Leigh around Gracie and Xavier Jr?" Isn't she.." Beth tells her "Call my Mama if you want to know. I need to get down to City Hospital." Beth rushes out, as Samantha looks around Hell Hill, and J.J. plays with Gracie and Xavier Jr, as Samantha's in awe of the Jackson Estate.
  In Valley Ridge, Xavier sits inside the Valley Lodge, as Ava and Winston joins him at his table, as he tells them "Well today is the big day." Winston quips "It is." Ava changes subjects meanwhile, and tells her Brother "You know most of the family will be here. Ciarra, Sully, Leigh." Xavier looks down, and tells his Sister, and Brother In Law "Well we all own Northbrook Center, so work has always kept me distracted." Ava adds "Aretha's coming to the Grand Opening, and surprisingly, Tenny's staying home, as is Beth." Xavier takes a drink of coffee, as he tells her "Well Mother and Grandma aren't into these kind of things. Me either to tell the truth. I'm more focused on finding this bitch, and killing her." Winston tells Xavier "We all are. And I'm sure with a day like this, she's going frantic, not getting in touch with Clayton." Meanwhile a few tables back, a woman holds a menu over her face, as she watches Xavier, Ava, and Winston, and says to herself "Enjoy that coffee Winston, Xavier, Ava. Enjoy it." The woman walks out, as she sends a text to someone, and writes "Wait for the command, from me."
  At Northbrook Center Mall, Sully and Jared walks inside the new mall, as they see Ciarra, and she asks them "Shouldn't the two of you be back in Adam's Landing?" Sully tells her Great Aunt "I wasn't missing this Aunt Ciarra. This is the first branch Class has opened, and with the other store coming in Blue Ridge, it was only right I was here." Jared adds "My Mom wasn't crazy about us coming to Valley Ridge, but you know my Wife." Ciarra laughs "Takes after her Father." Meanwhile Leigh walks inside, and Sully sees her Mother, as she's holding a folder, and asks her Daughter "Did you get my message?" Sully goes "What message Mom?" Leigh tells them "Well I'm here to say goodbye and I'm filing for divorce. I'm tired of all of you trying to control me!" Sully gets emotional, as she goes "How could you do that Mom? Daddy will be broken forever if you divorce him." Leigh snaps "Well there comes a point when enough is enough Sully. I need a break, and I don't need all of you trying to tell me what to do!" Ciarra meanwhile asks "Is that vodka I smell?" Leigh yells "Yes Ciarra! It is!" Sully slaps her Mother, and runs away, as Jared follows his Wife, as she heads to Class, and Ciarra asks Leigh "What in the hell happened to you Leigh?" Leigh yells "Ever heard of menopause?" Ciarra nods, and adds "There's more to this than menopause Leigh. I was there when Xavier thought you had died, and he was lost, and you doing this will destroy him." Leigh gets her phone and calls Xavier, and Ciarra watches, as she grows upset, and it goes to voicemail, and Leigh yells "Let's finish this. I want to move on." Ciarra grabs Leigh's arm, and sternly tells her "Make sure if you leave Leigh, stay gone."
   Back in Adam's Landing, Rachel's in a private room, as Olivia walks inside, and Rachel says to her Aunt "Well well, look who it is? Olivia sighs "So you are pregnant again I see?" Rachel asks "Where's my Mom?" Olivia sighs "Selfish desires cost lives Rachel, and Desi is dead." Rachel quips "Well good, now how about you help family, and uncuff me!" Eve and Beth walks inside, as Beth tells Rachel "I got the results, and you are pregnant. Possibly twins." Eve glares at Rachel, as does Beth and Olivia, as Beth asks Rachel "So where do we start?" Rachel asks Beth "Start what?" Beth quips "Who's the Father? Eve said you've slept with Clayton Hale, Andre Parks, River. Anyone else you care to mention slut?" Rachel smiles, and tells Beth "Nathan James." Beth walks over, and slaps Rachel across the face with full force, as she goes "My nephew Nathan?" Rachel snarks "Didn't Tenny tell you that you evil bitch?" Olivia glares at her Niece, as does Beth, as she says "She told me you saw him, but I sure hope you aren't carrying a member of my family." Eve looks at Rachel, and warns her "I don't have any plans to leave Adam's Landing until you deliver this child, or until you tell us who's the Father of this bastard you are carrying." Rachel laughs "Guessing games can be fun. Just think Eve, I could be carrying a child that could call you Granny, or disown you like River and Andre has." Eve rushes at Rachel screaming "Bitch I'll kill your ass right here.." Olivia and Beth holds Eve back, and Beth tells Rachel "I have my ways of finding out Rachel, and don't forget I can do the same thing to you, I did to Desi, except this time, making it permanent." Rachel yells "I dare you." Beth walks out, as she quips "Don't tempt me." Eve follows Beth, as Olivia looks at Rachel and tells her "You are one sick bitch. The thought you use the last name "Lane" is disgusting." Olivia walks out, as Rachel says to herself "You all don't want to mess with me. I will destroy all of you."
   Meanwhile at Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny walks into the living room, as Rose and Nathan shares a blunt, and Tenny sighs "Ahh the aroma of marijuana." Rose tells Tenny "Gabriella came by again last night with an urgent message." Tenny rolls her eyes, and asks Rose "Is that whack job babysitting my Ruthie?" Nathan nods, as he kisses Rose, and tells her "I'm headed to the studio to lay down some beats for Eve's album. She sent me some lyrics, and people will be shocked when this comes out." Nathan hugs his Grandmother, as he heads out, and Tenny takes a few puffs, and tells Rose "Watch my Precious while I go see what Gabriella's freaking out over." Tenny heads out, as she knocks on the door to Sully and Jared's Penthouse, and Gabriella answers, and looks at Tenny, and says "You need to keep an eye on the news, and be stronger than you've ever been." Tenny notices the seriousness in Gabriella's tone, as she asks her "What do you know?" Ruthie cries, as Gabriella heads into the nursery to get her, and she walks back into the living room, and tells Tenny "Ever seen Hell?" Tenny quips "Is someone finally pushing the little red button?" Gabriella grabs Tenny, and tells her in a frantic tone "I'm sort of cloudy, but that's what I'm seeing, black clouds." Tenny kisses her Great Great Granddaughter, and looks at Gabriella, and tells her "That's too cryptic for me to understand." Tenny heads out, as she warns Gabriella "You best take care of my little namesake, and I hope you don't turn her crazy." Tenny leaves, and Gabriella holds her Granddaughter, as she tells Ruthie "I trust my instincts."
   Back in Valley Ridge, Xavier, Ava, and Winston has arrived at Northbrook Center, as has Aretha, and Aretha asks them "So this place is nice! When are you opening a new mall in Adam's Landing Xavier?" Xavier tells Aretha "I'm not sure. I think the one we have is nice now. I got some plans for it." Meanwhile, in Class, Sully holds Jared, as she cries "Mom's going to break Daddy's heart. I don't understand her at all." Jared tells his Wife "It's the alcohol Sully. She's in denial." Sully cries "This is really tearing me apart, my Mom is changing before my very eyes, and it's my fault.." Jared consoles his Wife, as Xavier walks inside, and holds his Daughter, as Sully cries in her Father's arms." In Emery's Ava walks inside, as she goes "Classic, retro, we kicked ass on this design." Ciarra tells Ava "We did. Now all we need to do is wait for the people to come inside." Meanwhile Winston walks around the mall, as Aretha notices he's looking around and asks him "So Ava filled me in." Winston asks Aretha "Notice anything off here?" Aretha tells him "No I don't." Inside the mall office, the Mall Manager's phone rings, and he answers, as he responds "They are inside." Meanwhile Leigh stands outside of Class, as Mona stands behind her Sister, and taps her on the shoulder, and asks "Are you sure you want to do this?" Leigh looks at Mona, with silence. In Adam's Landing, Floyd and Country sits inside the Storm Shelter, as Clayton's phone dies, and Clayton looks at them, and laughs "I hope you all are ready. You all will deeply regret this."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 253. In The Shadows

  At Hell Hill, Beth sits stating ahead, as she says with anger growing in her voice "Faye Caswell. Clayana Pharmaceuticals, Clayton Hale, and a few others too?" Bobby nods, as he tells Beth "Boss, Winston and Miles Caswell was the two that were being drugged, each different from what it appears." Beth looks at Bobby, and tells him "We tried treatments on Ruth also, and I am scared that.. that.." Beth walks out of the house, as Gracie and Xavier Jr run downstairs, as Bobby shakes his head, as Beth heads down the hill.
   In The Storm Shelter, Eve notices vomit on the floor, as Rachel is sick, and Clayton smiles at Eve "Ms.Mathis. You are more beautiful in person." Eve ignores Clayton, as she looks at Rachel, and screams "So you finally got yourself locked up and chained and it's not sexual! Shit, this will be easy." Rachel looks at Eve, and snarls "I'm sick Eve. And you need to put that pistol down if you don't want to kill your Grandchild." Eve's eyes widen, as she goes in a tone of shock "What in the hell did you just say bitch? I see vomit, and you are saying you're pregnant? You whore." Clayton defends Rachel, yelling "She isn't a damn whore Eve Mathis, and how about you get us some help." Eve laughs "You don't know Rachel, she's a prostitute in every way. I think while River's in the hospital, I'm getting him tested for STDs. Andre too. Clayton you slept with her?" Clayton nods, and Eve quips "I hope you wore a condom or knew when to fold." Rachel snarks "That's right bitch, I'm carrying your Grandchild!" Eve pauses, as she hears Floyd and Country, as the door opens, and Beth looks at Rachel, and Eve yells "This bitch is pregnant!" Beth glares at Clayton, as she coldly says "Clayana Pharmaceuticals is owned by you and you're silent partner? Start talking bastard." Clayton is quiet, until Beth kicks Clayton in the groin, and he moans, as she screams "Damnit I said TALK!"
   Meanwhile in Valley Ridge, Xavier, Ava, and Winston tours Northbrook Center privately, as Ava tells her Brother and Husband "This is nice, even the fountain from your estate was saved outside." Winston tells them "This is going to be a huge success." Xavier nods, as he tells them "Looks like everything is ready to go." They walk out, as they head back to The Valley Lodge, as Xavier looks at Winston, and asks "So where is she?" Winston tells Xavier "In town somewhere. If Clayton's locked up, then she's going ballistic." Inside a lounge in Downtown Valley Ridge, a woman sits at a table, as she calls Clayton, and back in The Storm Shelter, Beth sees the phone, and answers it and asks "Who is this?" The woman is silent, as she says "I have the wrong number." and hangs up." She then makes another call, and asks "Is everything in place?" The person on the other line tells her "Yes, set for tomorrow." The woman takes a drink, and says to herself "Winston Hale, you aren't making it this time. Nor will anyone else."
   Back in Adam's Landing, Samantha meets up with Tenny, Precious, and Rose at Class, as Tenny tells her Great Great Niece "Since my Oldest Sister's working today, I thought I'd buy you something." Meanwhile J.J. grows scared of Precious, as he growls at him, and Rose tells Precious "Stop it!" Tenny quips "He thinks he's a child." Sully walks out of her office, and sees them, and asks her Great Grandmother "Are you heading up to Valley Ridge in the morning to the Grand Opening?" Tenny sighs "I don't think so. I don't do occasions like that anymore. I'm staying far away from Valley Ridge." Rose and Samantha meanwhile walks around together, as they chat, and Willie walks inside, with Rashad and Little Sidney, and Samantha asks Rose "I think I know him." Samantha walks up to Rashad, and goes "Rashad Evans?" Willie's taken back, as Rashad goes "Samantha Martin? What are you doing in Adam's Landing?" Samantha tells Rashad "It's a long story, was looking for Jack, until I found out about his death." Rashad takes a deep breath, and sighs "I miss him. He and I were tight and he died so violently, I've never been able to get over it. Racing helps though." Rose meanwhile is approached by Willie, as she asks Rose "Did you go visit your Grandma?" Rose responds "No?" Willie tells Rose "Mary had a massive heart attack, but she's back home now." Rose takes a deep breath, and tells Willie "At least she's ok." Willie quips "She is." Meanwhile Sully gushes over J.J., and tells her Great Grandmother "Looks like Rashad Evans and that Samantha had hit it off." Tenny quips "Oh yes, love is in the air, Beth and Bobby, Rose and Nathan." Precious meanwhile growls at J.J. again, and Sully warns Tenny "I'm warning you now Gran, if that dog ever growls at Ruthie, his ass is mine!" Tenny tells Sully "Don't stay away too long from Ruthie." Sully assures her Grandmother "She'll be fine. Grandma's staying put as well." Tenny yells at Rose and Samantha, as she tells them "Ok let's ride." They leave, as Precious follows behind, and Willie, holding her Great-Grandson, asks Rashad "Did I see what I thought I saw?" Rashad tells his Grandmother "Samantha's a good girl, and she needs someone."
   Meanwhile at City Hospital, Eve's returned, as River's awake and yells at his Mother "So this bastard's my Father?" Eve rolls her eyes, as she sighs "Yes River he is!" River tells his Mother and Father, as Sayyid hasn't left his side "When I get back to Sugar Creek, I'm disowning you Mother! I hate to know my Father's a damn thug." Sayyid walks outside, as he bumps into Aretha, and she asks her Uncle "Is Eve in there?" Sayyid tells Aretha "I don't think River and I have a chance." Aretha tells her Uncle, lightening the mood "Well Sassy Shane moved to Unity." Sayyid asks his Niece "So does that mean you're getting tipsy?" Aretha laughs "We've come a long way Uncle Clem. And Sassy learned a lesson with messing with me. I'm dating the President of Adam's Landing National Bank." Sayyid is stunned, and asks "Does your Mama know, or Terrance?" Aretha puts her finger on her mouth, and says to her Uncle "I haven't told anyone yet, but he sure is fine." Meanwhile back in River's room, Eve tells River "We did what we had to do River! It was for your own protection!" River presses the button on the bed, as he tells his Mother "You know what Eve, I'm already done, and screw this! I'm going home!" Eve, in a scared state, tells him "You're not well River. You can't leave." Terrance rushes inside, with Aretha and Sayyid behind him, as he yells "Watch me!" River yells at Terrance "Hand me those discharge papers! I'm going home!" And all of you leave me the hell alone!" Aretha and Sayyid walks out with Eve, as she sighs "I lost him, and this is a bad move. He needs to get well." Terrance walks out, and says to them "That's one stubborn ass kid in there. I told him he's just like Uncle Clem, and he gave that Ross glare." Sayyid has defeat in his eyes, as does Eve, as Aretha gets a text, and tells Eve and Sayyid "I need to head back to The Exposer. Ava's just asked me to do a check for her on a woman by the name of "Victoria." Aretha heads out, as Sayyid looks at Eve, and holds her, as he assures her "Keith and Andre are bonding, and they're in L.A. right now. Things will get better." Eve sighs I hope so, as River walks out of his room, as he's dressed, and glares at his parents, as he returns to Sugar Creek.
   Meanwhile night has fallen on Adam's Landing and Valley Ridge, and Back inside the Storm Shelter, Country walks inside, as Rachel continues to get sick, and Clayton hisses at Beth "I won't say shit to you!" Beth asks "Want me to help your soprano?" Clayton holds his groin, as Beth warns him "Stay quiet, and when my Son returns, you will pay. You don't mess with me and get away with it!" Meanwhile up the hill, Bobby sits inside, as Bree walks in, and asks Bobby "Where's Aunt Beth?" Beth storms back inside, with anger in her eyes, as she tells Bree "Welcome back. Excuse me." Beth heads inside the vault, as she fires up a joint, and Bree asks Bobby "What's going on?" Bobby looks at Bree, and tells her "She's pissed, and that's not even the start."
   At Sully and Jared's Penthouse, Sully returns home, as Gabriella and Jared plays with Ruthie, and Sully tells her Mother In Law, and Husband "I have to go to Valley Ridge tomorrow for Class' Grand Opening." Gabriella shakes her head, as she warns Sully "Bad idea. I'm telling you, bad idea." Sully looks at Gabriella, as Jared also looks at Sully, and tells his Wife "Mom's hellbent on this Sully. You need to stay away from Valley Ridge." Sully picks up her Daughter, and tells them "Marco could go, but I want to be there. It means the world to me." Jared looks at his Mother, as Gabriella warns her Son "Don't go Jared. I mean it!" Jared tells his Mother, as he and Sully heads to their bedroom with Ruthie "If Sully's going to Valley Ridge Mom, I'm going with her! End of discussion." Gabriella rolls her eyes, as she walks across the hall and knocks on Tenny's door, as Nathan answers, and asks "Who are you?" Allan, sitting inside, as is Rose, welcomes Gabriella in, as they pass around a blunt, and Gabriella tells them "Something's about to happen. Mark my words."
  At Floyd and Ciarra's Home at Whispering Hills, Ciarra and Floyd has dinner, as Samantha walks inside with Tenny and J.J., and Ciarra asks her Sister "So where's your sidekick?" Samantha tells her Great-Great Aunt "J.J.'s scared of him." Ciarra looks at Floyd, Tenny, and Samantha, and J.J., and tells them "I'm heading to Valley Ridge tonight. My flight is booked. Tomorrow is Emery's Grand Opening at Northbrook Center, and this is the first new store Emery's opened in almost 20 years." Floyd looks at his Wife, and asks "Well what about our trip to Texas?" Ciarra kisses her Husband, and tells him "Samamtha said she can cook, and you've been hanging around The Storm Shelter, so I know you will be fine." Tenny hugs her Sister, and tells Samantha "Well if you need me sweetie, don't be scared to call me." Samantha hugs her, and Floyd tells Ciarra "Be careful, I worry about you." Ciarra quips, as she heads to pack her suitcase "At least I carry my phone with me Floyd." Tenny meanwhile heads home, and Floyd looks at J.J., and assures Samantha "You'll be alright while Ciarra's in Valley Ridge."
   Meanwhile at Adam's Landing International Airport, Leigh gets on a plane, as she has left Sully a voicemail, that says "I'm leaving. Take care of your Brother And Sister." Leigh boards the plane, as it's destination is Valley Ridge, as she holds divorce papers, and says "X will be there, and I'll tell him then."
At The Exposer, Aretha looks up the background on "Victoria Samantha Hale", and says to herself "Damn. She left the family and disappeared." In Valley Ridge, Ava and Winston sits in their room, as Aretha calls, and Ava and Winston listen closely as Aretha fills them in, and Winston sighs "Victoria was smart, and then she got with Ken, and he had mental issues. She's the only one of my children with Angelica that took after me." Meanwhile in Xavier's room, he talks to Bobby, as Xavier fills him in on what he knows, and Bobby does the same, and tells him "Xavier, I hate to be the one to tell you, but Leigh's filing for Divorce." Xavier tells him "Sounds like she made her choice." Bobby, sitting at Hell Hill, responds "Well maybe tomorrow will go smoothly. Clayton and Rachel are locked up in The Storm Shelter, and awaiting your order." Xavier tells Bobby "I'll do the honors with Clayton, or Winston." Xavier hangs up the phone, as he pulls out his wedding photo of him and Leigh, and starts to cry." Back in Adam's Landing, Bree runs inside, as she yells at Beth "Get that girl to a hospital now! She is pregnant!" Beth tells Bree "Are you alright?" Bree yells "Aunt Beth, Rachel's showing all the signs!" Beth tells Bobby "Get the handcuffs, we're about to find out, and you and Bree take her to City Hospital, and put her in a private room with only a few visitors allowed." Beth picks up the phone, as she calls Eve, who's at The Evans Home, and tells her "Rachel's Pregnant." Eve drops her phone, and Willie goes "Eve? Eve?" Eve's eyes rolls, as she mumbles "Whore's just slept with both my Sons, and now she's knocked..." Eve falls to the ground.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 252. The Conspiracy

  At Hell Hill, Beth has walked into the living room, as Leigh comes downstairs, and asks Beth "What is it?" Beth holds the cup of coffee, and says "Thanks for the shot." Leigh grows scared, as Beth tells Leigh "Now I want you to leave this house. Gracie and Xavier Jr will not be around this. And although I understand you're going through things, this is making things worse. Now leave." Leigh looks at Beth, and tells her "That coffee is fine. I swear all of you are trying to destroy me and X!" Beth quips "Doing a good job of that yourself Leigh. Now you heard me." Leigh warns Beth "I am taking my kids.." Beth turns her head, and goes "You are? I don't think so." Leigh storms out, as Eve stands out on the porch, and opens the door, and Beth asks "Ever heard of knocking?" Beth sees Eve, and goes "Oh you. Why are you here?" Eve shows her message to Beth, and tells her "I think this place lives up to it's name." Beth quips "Oh yes it does." Beth tells Eve "Go outside, and follow the concrete path to the creek." Eve thanks Beth, as she heads down to The Storm Shelter, as Beth shakes her head with disgust, as she says to herself "Poor Xavier."
   At City Hospital, Terrance hangs up the phone, as Cass walks inside, and tells him "We need to investigate some things here." Terrance looks at Cass, and asks him "What's there to investigate?" Cass responds "Apparently there's something going on and I'd check my staff closely." Terrance tells him "We have a top notch staff Cass. Why would there be anything to be suspicious about?" Cass fills him in, and Terrance's jaw drops, as he asks "Does Beth know?" Meanwhile Olivia has walked out of Mary's room, as she bumps into Bobby, and he tells Olivia "Can we talk privately for a moment?" Olivia nods, as they head to her office, as Olivia sits at her desk, and Bobby tells her "You took care of Winston Hale when he was going through chemo. And he's just had a brain tumor removed." Olivia listens silently, as she looks at Bobby, as he continues "Dr.Faye Caswell was causing some trouble here recently, and Winston's Son, Clayton has been lurking around town." Olivia asks Bobby "Clayton? He's Winston's Son?" Bobby is stunned at Olivia's reaction, as he asks her "You didn't know?" Olivia tells Bobby "I thought he worked for the pharmaceutical company when I was giving Winston his chemo treatments." Bobby tells Olivia "Well Olivia, he pulled the wool over your head. Things weren't as they appeared." Olivia is stunned, and asks "How's Beth taking this?" Bobby tells her "She doesn't know. But Xavier does."
  Meanwhile in Valley Ridge, Xavier, Ava, and Winston sits inside a restaurant that's opened in front of Northbrook Center, as it prepares its Grand Opening in a few days. Winston tells Ava and Xavier "When I was brought to HaleCorp, in that room, I got those answers, and she's out for blood and I mean blood." Ava and Xavier looks at each other, as Ava tells Winston "I never heard of her having a twin." Winston quips "She did, and they were identical. She was the weak one of the two." Xavier asks Winston "So when you found out that Clayton was really Jake's Father, was the moment you reverted back to your evil ways?" Winston tells Xavier "I didn't know what I was doing. She had help. Carla Manning, Clayton, that lab tech at City Hospital. Faye Caswell.." Ava stops Winston, as she asks "Faye Caswell?" Winston quips "That crazy bitch that worked in Unity. She was involved as well, and others too." They look out the window, as construction finishes up Northbrook Center, and Xavier, Ava, and Winston all look at each other, as they form a pact, and discuss strategy, as Winston tells them "There's also something else you should know." Ava and Xavier looks at Winston, as he tells them "There's two more and I have another Grandchild." Xavier and Ava both look at Winston, stunned. Inside Northbrook Center, a member of the construction crew makes a phone call, and says "It's about ready."
   Back in Adam's Landing, Sully arrives at Class, as Marco sits inside, and Sully asks "When did you return?" Marco replies "Today. I saw that tape, and I knew your Mom would need a friend. Shouldn't you be at home with your Daughter?" Sully tells Marco "Her Grandma's watching her for me. Jared's at Jackson Inc, and we have that Grand Opening to plan for with Northbrook Center opening in a few days." Marco tells Sully "Actually it's opening tomorrow. Just got this message." Sully looks over, as she reads, and tells Marco "I'm so not ready to leave Ruthie. It was hard enough to leave her with Gabriella, but I take after my Daddy." Marco sighs "I just hope he forgives Leigh. She'd never betray him." Sully looks at Marco, and tells him "I don't know anymore really. She's changing, and when she slept with Clayton, that broke him. He's not even in town." Marco assures Sully "You'll likely see him when you go to Valley Ridge to the Grand Opening." Sully quips "Likely so. My Grandma's watching Gracie and Xavier Jr, and Aunt Ava's the only one that Daddy's keeping contact with." Marco takes a deep breath, as he tells Sully "Sounds to me like hell's about to break loose."
   At FJR, Frank sits in his office, as he writes out a list for the upcoming season, as Bree walks inside, and Frank gets up, and hugs his Niece, as he asks Bree "When did you return?" Bree tells her Uncle "Last night. It's quiet down here." Frank replies "Cale and Allison went to Southpoint Beach for a few days, and Rashad and Willie are having breakfast." Bree asks "Did you see the.." Frank sighs "Yes I did, and I was blown away." Bree tells her Uncle "At least there's some good news, Andy's settled in, and Jake's back with Summer." Frank hugs his Niece, and tells her "That's good. I hope they come to Adam's Landing to pay a visit soon." Bree looks at her Uncle, and tells him "I told her to stay put. It'd be best for her." Frank tells Bree "Aunt Mary's at City.." Bree responds "I know. I'm going over to visit her, since I can't get in touch with my Dad." Frank laughs "Well Xavier's left town, and you saw that tape.." Bree sighs "Storm Shelter." Bree heads out, as Frank wraps things up at FJR, as the racing season's over.
   Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Jared sits inside his office, as he watches over things as Xavier's out of town, and Ciarra walks inside, as she asks Jared "So tomorrow's the Grand Opening?" Jared nods, and says "Apparently things are wrapped up, and here's the photos." Ciarra goes over the pictures, as she sighs "Damn. With Samantha staying with me and all, I'll head up there for Emery's ribbon cutting." Jared tells Ciarra "Sully's headed there too. I think I'm staying behind." Ciarra asks "How come?" Jared tells her "I think it could be the best thing for me to do."
   Back at Hell Hill, Beth sits in the living room, as Bobby calls, and Beth asks him "I thought you were coming by?" Bobby responds, as he's on the road "I'll be there shortly. I need to tell you something, and you may want to smoke a joint." Beth hangs up, as she pulls a joint out, and heads into the vault. Meanwhile at City Hospital, Terrance walks inside River's room, as River's woke up, and yells at Sayyid to leave, as Sayyid tells his Son "I'm going nowhere! I've been gone far too long!" River yells "Where's my Mother?" Meanwhile in Mary's Room, The Caswell Family are together, as Olivia walks inside, and tells Mary, as Miles holds her hand "I've just got off the phone with Unity General, and the helicopter's on its way. We're sending you back home. The family smiles, as Mary tells them "I'm ready to get back to Unity again." Hazel quips "We all are." Olivia tells Mary "They're going to keep you until you are well, and then you'll be officially discharged, but you will be ok to head back home." Olivia walks out, as she gets a message, and goes "Damn Desi, you really messed up." Olivia takes a deep breath, as she's found out about Desi's death in Unity.
   Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Leigh drinks at the bar, as Mona and Wallace walks inside, and Mona asks her Sister "So what do you need?" Leigh tells her Sister "I need to talk to Johnny Manning. I'm divorcing X, and leaving town." Mona warns her Sister "That could be the worst mistake you'd ever make Leigh." Leigh yells "With who you're with, wouldn't you be calling yourself a hypocrite?" In Valley Ridge, Xavier sits inside his room at The Valley Lodge, as Ava and Winston sits inside as well, as Ava gets off the phone, and tells Xavier "Samantha and J.J. are comfortable, and tomorrow Northbrook Center will be having it's Grand Opening." Xavier tells them "Right now, Clayton's locked up in a safe place, and we need to find these bastards." Winston meanwhile asks Ava "Samantha Martin?" Ava nods "Jack's first love." Winston tells Ava "Samantha's my Granddaughter." Back in Adam's Landing, Bobby walks inside Hell Hill, as Beth walks out of the vault, as he tells her "You need to sit down." Beth rolls her eyes, as she asks "What's wrong?" Bobby tells Beth of what he's learned, and Beth calmly, with anger in her eyes, says "Well good thing I just smoked that joint." Meanwhile in The Storm Shelter, Floyd and Country stands outside, as they drink a jar of moonshine, and Eve walks up, and tells them "I want to visit the whore inside!" Floyd and Country tells Eve "Xavier doesn't want anyone in there." Eve assures them, as she pulls out a pistol "I only want Rachel." Floyd and Country unlock the door to The Storm Shelter, as Eve walks in, with the safety off.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 251. Highway of Vengeance

   It's the next morning, and Sully sits in the living room at her and Jared's Penthouse, as she's on the phone with her Grandmother, as she asks Beth, at Hell Hill "Any word from Daddy?" Beth, sitting outside on the porch, as she smokes a joint, responds "Nope. And if you do talk to him, don't tell him your Mom's staying here, or my Mother across the hall." Sully agrees, and hangs up the phone, as Jared heads out the door, and Sully asks "Where's Ruthie?" Jared tells his Wife "In the nursery with Mom." Sully hugs her Husband, and tells him "I hope she sticks around. I have a feeling Daddy may have ran away." Gabriella walks out, and tells Sully "If it wasn't for my Granddaughter, I'd get the hell out of Adam's Landing?" Sully looks at her Mother In Law, as she asks hesitantly "Why is that?" Gabriella says "If I were you, or anyone, I'd stay away from where Xavier and Ava are. But sadly that won't be." Meanwhile in Valley Ridge, Winston lays in a hospital bed, as Xavier glares at him silently, and turns off the safety on his Colt 45, as Winston asks Xavier "So are you planning to kill me or what? You don't believe me?" Xavier tells him coldly "Ava will be the decider. All I know is I don't play bullshit Winston, and nothing is keeping me from killing you." Ava walks inside, as Xavier looks at his Sister, and Ava stares at Winston, as he starts to cry "I don't know what to say. I'm sorry." Ava laughs "Sorry is the right term for you, now tell me that shit you told Xavier. I want to hear it." Winston begins to explain, as Xavier keeps his hand on his Colt 45, as Ava listens closely.
   At City Hospital, Eve and Sayyid sits by River's bedside, as he's still out, after surgery the day before to remove the two bullets from his chest. Eve looks at Sayyid, and warns him "If you desire a relationship with River, he won't likely accept." Sayyid looks at Eve, and tells her "I deserve that. We did the right thing." Eve sighs "If you say so. I think we've all made our mistakes and I have a lot to make up for with Andre. But right now, it just feels like I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders." Sayyid looks at Eve, and holds her hand, offering support, as Terrance walks inside and checks River's vitals, and tells Eve and Sayyid "I think it's time to wake him up. All I can say is he's one lucky man. He should be dead." Eve receives a message on her phone, and tells Terrance and Sayyid "I know one bitch that will be dead, and it looks like her time has come. Where's Hell Hill?"
   Meanwhile at Floyd and Ciarra's house at Whispering Hills, Samantha and J.J. walks inside the kitchen, as Samantha smells breakfast, and Ciarra tells her Great Great Niece "Make yourself comfortable. Did you sleep well?" Samantha sighs "Not really. J.J. misses Ava, and she was worried when she left, I hope everything's ok." Ciarra takes a deep breath, and tells her "Floyd wasn't here when I woke up, he went with Country last night, and he came back, but left early this morning." Samantha asks her Great Great Aunt "So is he keeping up the Jackson tradition?" Ciarra asks "Which one?" Samantha responds "I always heard the Jackson family had a temper, and they were known to run Adam's Landing, and had the ruthless streak." Ciarra shakes her head, and tells her "The Jackson name is revered, and feared in this town. You're very fortunate you're related to Tennessee and I, and Ava's adopted you." Samantha tells Ciarra "I never heard much on our family, though Papaw always told me before he got Alzheimer's that you and Aunt Tennessee were strong, and powerful figures in business." Ciarra smiles, and responds "We built a name in the business world, and it goes strong today. And I think you can add to the legacy."
   At Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny sits in the living room, as she smokes a joint, and Allan walks inside, as he asks his Mother "So where's Nathan?" Tenny points towards the bedroom, and Allan sits down, as he asks his Mother "Where's Precious?" Tenny sighs "He betrayed me. Now why are you asking me questions?" Allan tells her "Keith called me and was looking for him." Tenny takes a toke, and passes to Allan, and says "Nathan's laying with Rose. He's staying here now with me." Allan asks "Are you playing matchmaker?" Tenny looks at her Son, and asks "Who? Me? Never." Allan responds "I like Rose. She and Nathan would make a great couple." Tenny nods, and says "I know." In Rose's bedroom, Nathan hears his Father and Grandmother, as he lays in the bed, with Rose laying in his arms, and her eyes open, as Nathan kisses her, and asks "How are you this morning?" Rose responds "Safe, knowing you're here." Nathan tells her, as he points at the foot of the bed "It looks like we had some protection." They share a laugh, as Precious sleeps at the end of the bed, and doesn't move, and Nathan assures Rose "You are safe with me Rose." Rose cuddles up to Nathan, as he holds her in his arms, as they lay in bed together.
   Meanwhile back at Hell Hill, Beth walks back inside, as Leigh sits in the living room with Gracie and Xavier Jr, and tells Beth "You should have let me sleep in my own bed last night." Beth reminds her Daughter In Law "Not right now. I am going to recommend you find another place to stay. My Son could come in at any given moment, and I doubt he's want to see you." Leigh asks Beth "I thought you believed me?" Beth responds "I do Leigh, but you know how Xavier is, and I am telling you now, I'm watching every move you make. If you even booze once, I will throw you out of this house." Leigh reminds her "You were just outside smoking a joint Beth?" Beth reminds Leigh "I was away from the kids, and marijuana doesn't affect you, like hitting the liquor bottle either." Leigh rolls her eyes, as she sighs with frustration "None of you will let me live this down." Beth looks at Leigh, and tells her "I understand you are going through a lot, but you have to get it together now. I'm in charge of this house, and you'll follow my rules if you want to stay here while Xavier's away." Leigh sighs, as she heads into the kitchen, and pours a cup of coffee, and pulls out a flask, as she pours a shot of vodka in her cup as well." Meanwhile Beth's phone rings, and it's Bobby, as he asks Beth "How's things at Hell Hill Boss?" Beth tells him "It's ok. Terrance and Olivia are keeping an eye on the Hospital, and I'm babysitting." Bobby tells Beth "Xavier's in Valley Ridge. And I'm headed over to discuss something with you." Beth hangs up, as she grows suspicious over Bobby's tone.
   At City Hospital, Mary lays in the bed, as she's alert, and Hazel, Kane, and Lacey sits by her side, as Mary goes "Ruth?" Hazel cries tears of joy, as her Mother comes out of her coma, after her triple bypass, and Hazel tells her Mother "It's me Mama." Mary looks around, and asks "Where's Miles?" Hazel tells her "Daddy's back home, and his memory's returned." A voice says "Mama." Mary looks up, as Miles walks inside Mary's room, and walks over and kisses his Wife, as she smiles and says "Popper." Hazel holds onto her Son, as Janet Mitchell, Mary and Miles' youngest Daughter, and Lacey's Mother, holds onto her Daughter, as they watch Mary and Miles reconnect, as they quietly look at each other in the eyes, with tears.
   Meanwhile back at HaleCorp, in Valley Ridge, Ava and Xavier both have listened to Winston once again, and Ava tells him "She's supposed to be dead." Winston tells them "I never wished to ever see Clayton ever again. I would like to see Burt. Where is he?" Xavier and Ava are dumbfounded, as Xavier responds "He's dead Winston." Winston yells "Damnit! She's going to destroy me, and us. I know it." Xavier rolls his eyes, as he looks at his Sister, and Ava and Xavier looks at Winston, as Xavier tells him "I actually believe you." Ava agrees as well, as they unplug the monitors, and Winston tells them "We need to kill her." Meanwhile inside, a woman watches, as she's growing angry, as she tries to call Clayton, and doesn't get an answer." At Hell Hill, Beth walks inside the kitchen, as she sees a cup of coffee, and takes a drink, and she yells "Leigh. Where are you?" Outside, Eve stands, as she says to herself  "So this is Hell Hill?" Down the hill, inside The Storm Shelter, sits Clayton and Rachel, as they are chained to the ground, and they look at each other, with fear on their face, as Country walks inside, and tells them "One of you had a phone call, but I don't answer restricted numbers."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 250. Bombshells

   At Hell Hill, Beth, Sully, Tenny, Ava, Floyd, and Frank stands around, as Bobby looks at Country, and then asks everyone "So who's going to look for Xavier?" Beth asks "Where did he go?" Ava tells them "I'm going to find him. I know where he went, and I'd like to have some answers for myself." Tenny tells everyone "That whore broke his heart, and he may never be the same." Sully yells at her Great-Grandmother "Stop calling my Mom a whore! I believe her." Tenny snaps "When one of my family's been wronged, it hurts me! I won't forgive Leigh for this." Beth looks at her Mother, and tells her "Mama, I tend to believe Sully." Tenny points over to the door, and asks her Daughter "See that broken glass Beth?" Beth nods, and asks "I know Mama. She hasn't been herself." Tenny yells "Damn right, she's a damn drunk, and slept with Xavier's rival! Hell Frank couldn't top this one in my book!" Frank rolls his eyes, and sighs "I'll never be able to live down cheating on Beth in your eyes will I Tenny?" Tenny looks at Frank, and tells him "When two people make vows, they don't jump the sack! I am a firm believer in that. J.D. never cheated on me, and I never cheated on him, and I am just so damn disgusted and angry that this woman that my Grandson loved with all he had in him broke his heart like this. It really pisses me off!" Ava tells everyone "Ciarra's at my estate right now with Samantha, and I am going to Valley Ridge." Ava tells Beth and Tenny "Samantha's staying with me, and she could use the two of you." Ava heads out, and Tenny asks her Daughter "Who's Samantha?" Beth tells her Mother "Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Cora's Great-Granddaughter." Meanwhile in Valley Ridge, Xavier sneaks inside HaleCorp, as he's slashed a guard's throat, as he notices a Doctor, and grabs them from behind, and slashes his throat, as he sees a room, and pulls out his Colt 45, as he enters.
   At City Hospital, Sayyid sits at River's side, as River's asleep and Sayyid looks at him and says, as he flashes back "Keith and your Mother had an argument, and she came to me that evening in distress. We has a one night stand, and a few weeks afterwards, Eve told me she was pregnant, and at the time, I was awaiting my sentence for my part in the riots. We agreed to keep this a secret, and to lock it away forever, to protect you. It's one of many things I regret River." Outside, Eve and Aretha returns, as Willie looks at Eve, and tells her "I know." Eve asks "Know what?" Aretha looks at Eve, and says "River and Uncle Clem didn't have a great meeting a few days ago at my office, he won't take this well." Eve sighs "I'm thankful he's alive, but he won't forgive me for this Aretha. I know he won't. He has wondered about his Father for years and years, and he thought it was Keith, and some others, but all this time.." Willie tells Eve "Go in there. Clem's in there now at his side." Eve walks inside River's room, as Aretha asks her Mother "So River is Keith's Brother?" Willie looks at her Daughter, and tells her "Yes Aretha. He is."
   Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Keith and Andre walks inside his room, as Andre asks his Father "So explain to me. I really want to kill your worthless ass!" Keith tells Andre "Eve and I were signed to the same label and it was a few years before River was born. Eve had a major hit, and we were engaged to be married. She and I always had a connection, and still do to an extent. Clint Feldman and Chant Hale threatened to blacklist her and myself, and even threatened our lives." Andre is silent, as he looks at Keith, and says "That's hard to believe." Keith tells Andre "The music business is evil. It's all about the benjamins, and with Eve pregnant, and the fact both of us are black, they would have loved to have killed our careers. They destroyed J.B., and were itching at us, and Eve didn't want to give you up, and neither did I. So Eve made her album, actually the last R&B album she did before going jazz, and the label tanked it, and she went into hiding, and once you were born, we gave you to my Father, and he took you to a family in South Central, that he felt would be right for you. Don't think we wanted to do that, but we did at the time what was best. Otherwise, you, I , nor Eve would be alive today." Andre tells Keith "I want to be a rapper, but after hearing that, I don't think I want to now." Keith asks "So you want to rap?" Andre nods, and tells his Father "It was my escape, after my adoptive parents were murdered, I started selling drugs, and made some underground songs with Nathan's help. He's planned to help me get going in music." Keith looks at his Son, and tells him "I think I could help you better than Nathan. I'm signed to a CL Records, and Clarence is looking to branch out. How about the two of us try to work out our differences, and try and have a relationship?" Andre gets emotional, as he asks "Are you serious?" Keith starts to cry, as he says "I have been a coward and a piece of shit, and I owe you. When I head back to L.A., come with me, and I'll make you a star." Andre looks at Keith, and Keith looks at his Son, and they hug, as Keith tells Andre "We are a lot alike Son. A hell of a lot alike, and I need you, and you need me."
   At Wallace's Corporate Headquarters, Mona looks at Fancy, as she laughs "You are my little tool. You have my family's money bitch, and I will kill for it." Mona yells at Fancy "I won't give you shit! Everything is legal, and frankly, you can have this damn company and I hope it fails!" Fancy turns off the safety, as she has her pistol aimed at Mona, and says "You have to die Mona. Everyone would be much better off. My poor Wallace.." Mona yells "You never gave a damn about Wallace! You only cared about you, and your boy toys!" Fancy shoots up, and screams "Listen bitch, you have no room to say a damn thing to me! I used my Son, I didn't give a damn about him, he's just a tool. A tool. Like you are, and Winston!" Suddenly, someone walks inside, and a shot is fired, as Fancy drops dead, as Wallace Manning Jr walks inside, and Mona goes "Oh my God you are alive?" Wallace looks at his Ex-Wife, and says "She found me, and after hearing that, I finished her off. She never cared about nobody." Mona looks at Wallace, as she's stunned, and says "I never thought I would see the day you would stand up to your Mother like that." Wallace responds "She's sick, and it's been a long time coming. And I think I'd like to go back to McCain." Mona looks at Wallace, and tells him "We have some issues to deal with." Wallace asks "Like what?" Mona says "My Sister's in crisis, and Clayton Hale is in charge." Wallace hugs Mona, and tells her "Since Mother's finally dead, we'll take care of Clayton, and I have some things to fix." Mona asks "Like what?" Wallace tells Mona "I want to have a relationship with my real Father."
   Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, Ava returns, as Samantha and Ciarra sits next to each other, as Ciarra tells her Great-Great Niece the Martin family history, and Tenny walks inside, and looks at Samantha, as she goes "Wow. You look just like Ma." Samantha responds "Aunt Ciarra said the same thing, and Papaw was right about you Aunt Tennessee. You look exactly like he always described you." Tenny gets emotional, as Ava tells Samantha "I have to leave town, and help my Brother. You and J.J. make yourselves comfortable, and if you need anything, you have family." Tenny and Ciarra both looks at Samantha, and assures Ava "She's a Martin, and we take care of our own." Tenny tells her Sister "I think Sully's missing that baby." Ciarra takes a deep breath, as she says "I imagine so." Ciarra hands Ruthie to her Great-Great Grandmother, as Tenny takes her across the road to Hell Hill, as Ciarra tells Samantha and J.J. "Since Ava's gone. The two of you will stay with Floyd and me. We will work on reconnecting our family." Samantha hugs her Great Great Aunt, as Ava thanks Ciarra, and heads to pack her suitcase, as she prepares to head to Valley Ridge.
   Across the road at Hell Hill, Bobby, Beth, Sully, and Frank sits in the living room, as they all worry for Xavier, and Tenny walks inside with Ruthie, and tells Sully "Go back home, and rest." Beth agrees, as Sully asks them "Will Daddy forgive Mom?" Beth says "I don't know Sully, but it's not going to be easy. I'm staying here with Gracie and Xavier Jr, and Country and Uncle Floyd will find Leigh." Sully picks up her Daughter, as she heads back to her Penthouse, and says to her Daughter "Daddy's missing you." Tenny tells Beth "I met Samantha, and she's going to need us." Beth hugs her Mother, and tells her "She can count on that Mama." Tenny glares at Frank, and tells her Daughter "Now you and Bobby take care of my Grandchildren, I have to check on Rose. She's moved in with me." Beth goes "What! She's staying with you?" Tenny snaps "Beth shut up and listen close. Rose was raped, and she has nobody except me and Nathan. I consider her like a Granddaughter, and you accept that!" Tenny walks out, and Beth shakes her head, as Frank tells Beth and Bobby "Keep me updated." Beth tells him "We will." Frank head back home, as night has fallen, and once outside, Frank looks through the window, as Bobby holds Beth in his arms, and Frank says to himself, with jealously in his eyes "I screwed up."
   Back at City Hospital, Willie walks over, with Aretha, to Mary's room, as Hazel, Kane, and Lacey sits at Mary's bedside, and Hazel gets up, and hugs Willie and Aretha, and says "Mrs.Evans you still look the same as you did when we were kids." Willie grins, as she says "May look it, but as they say "black don't crack." Hazel introduces them to Mary's Grandchildren, and Aretha tells Hazel "We heard about Mary, and thought we'd stop in before we went home." Hazel thanks them, and Willie assures Mary's family "The Loves are fighters, and although Ruth lost her fight, Mary has a lot left for her." Hazel smiles, and says "Yes she does. And Daddy's getting his memory back, and he'll be here tomorrow when he's discharged." Willie tells them "I'll come by and visit tomorrow. Aretha and I are heading home now. It's been a rough night, and I want to see my Great-Grandson." Willie and Aretha heads out, as Hazel tells Kane and Lacey "Willie Evans is one of the best friends Mama ever had, she's like an Aunt." Kane asks "Didn't Aretha expose Lynn?" Hazel tells her Son "Yes she did, because I helped her."
   In River's Room, River is still out, as Sayyid sits at his Son's bedside, and Eve tells him "Well it's out now." Sayyid says "It is. And I don't know if he heard my confession, but I'm not leaving his side." Eve looks at Sayyid, and tells him "River is a good man, a bit naive, and got some Keith in him when it comes to women, like Rachel, but he's smart, and he's very successful." Sayyid sheds a tear, as he tells Eve "You raised him well. I'm proud."
   Meanwhile back at Hell Hill, Leigh walks inside, as Beth looks at her Daughter In Law, and Leigh asks "Where's X?" Beth tells her "He's gone Leigh. And I think you need to get help" Down at Chantel's Clayton and Rachel has dinner, as they laugh and Clayton tells Rachel "We have destroyed the Jackson Family permanently." Clayton's phone rings, as he answers, and rage grows in his eyes, as he hangs up, and tells Rachel "I have to leave. Things have backfired." Floyd and Country walks inside, as Country grabs Rachel, as Floyd grabs Clayton, as they tell them "Damn right they've backfired, and now the two of you will pay for what you've done you selfish bastards!" The lights go out, as Floyd and Country leads Clayton and Rachel out, as they drag them out of Chantel's. Meanwhile Ava has arrived at Adam's Landing International Airport, as she boards a plane to Valley Ridge, as she says "This is all about to be finished." In Valley Ridge, a woman walks inside HaleCorp. Meanwhile Xavier has entered a room, where Winston lays, as his eyes open and goes "Xavier!" Xavier aims his Colt 45 at him, and Winston tells him "Xavier, there's something you need to know." Meanwhile the woman walks out, as she makes a phone call, and gets no answer, and evil glares from her eyes, as she coldly says "It's just started."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 249. The Power Of Truth And Silence

   At Hell Hill, Bobby walks inside and yells "Xavier?" Country walks out of the study, and Bobby asks him "Where's Xavier at?" Country takes a deep breath, and tells Bobby "I think X wants to be alone. He's upstairs and I haven't heard nothing out of him." Bobby shakes his head, and turns to see the broken bottles, and says to Country "Damn, he must have exploded when he saw Leigh." Country nods, and says "Gracie and Xavier Jr are upstairs, and I'm keeping an eye on them. He didn't even speak to Sully." Bobby warns Country "My gut tells me that he's about to go on a rampage. When Xavier Jackson closes his doors, hell breaks loose." Country pulls out his pistol, and responds "All I'm waiting for is the word."
  At Sully and Jared's Penthouse, Sully and Leigh arrives, as Leigh asks Sully "Where's my Granddaughter?" Sully tells her Mother "She's with Aunt Ciarra and Uncle Floyd. I really don't want her around you right now. How could you hurt Daddy this way Mom? He waited years for you, he cried at night when I was growing up, thinking you were dead, and you hurt him like this?" Leigh cries to her Daughter "How many times do I have to say I'm sorry Sully?" Sully tells her Mother "If you weren't my Mom, I wouldn't keep you here. But you really should thank Aunt Ava for helping me keep my eyes open. This family's been through hell, and this just tops it off, and have you even considered Grandma?" Leigh cries "Beth will hate me. She will never forgive this." The door opens, and Tenny walks inside, and sees Leigh, and Leigh tells Tenny "Don't you dare cast judgement.." Tenny slaps Leigh across the face, and asks "Should have just smoked some pot instead of hitting the bottle and jumping the sack!" Leigh goes "Tenny I was set up." Tenny rolls her eyes, as she looks at Sully and asks her Great-Granddaughter "Do you have your liquor cabinet locked?" Sully sighs "Gran.." Tenny looks at Leigh, and tells her 'I've noticed something off with you for some time." Leigh responds "You have always been off. Don't judge me Tenny!" Tenny warns her "I just called Xavier, and he is so lost and broken, do you realize how that makes me feel?" Leigh apologizes to Tenny, and Tenny tells Leigh "Get out of here Leigh." Sully tells her Great-Grandmother "Gran, let me take care of Mom." Tenny looks at Sully, and says "I don't want her here, across the hall from me. Damn whore!" Leigh's eyes turn red, as she slaps Tenny across the face, and Tenny attacks Leigh, knocking her to the ground, and yells "I have a confession, I have never liked you very much, and Beth will be the least of your worries. Just wait until she finds out about the booze. I'll be the least of your damn problems." Tenny walks back across the hall and slams the door, and Leigh screams at her Daughter "They all hate me now, and I'm getting out of here." Leigh storms out, as Sully punches the wall, and falls to the floor, as she starts to cry, as her heart breaks for her family.
   Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, Ava stands at the door, as J.J. runs up to the young girl, and says "Mommy". Ava looks at the girl, and asks "Are you Samantha?" The girl nods, and Ava motions for her to walk inside, and she does, and Ava asks Samantha Martin "Why are you here?" Samantha looks at Ava, and tells her "Ms.Hale.." Ava corrects "Jackson.: Samantha says "Sorry, Ms.Jackson, I have some problems, and I wanted to do what was best for my Son, and I found out you lived in Adam's Landing, and well.." Ava asks Samantha "Did Jack ever know you were pregnant?" Samantha shakes her head, as she tells her "Jack left before I got a chance to tell him. I was going to tell him, but I seen where he had moved on and figured now would be best. Is he here?" Ava closes her eyes, and looks at Samantha, and says "He was killed Samantha. He was shot in the head earlier in the year at Class, when Desi Lane and Angelica Hale, and one of her evil children went on the attack." Samantha starts to cry, as she says "I had really hoped Jack could have met J.J.." Ava tells Samantha "I read his diary, and he loved you." Samantha responds "I loved him too Ms.Jackson. But my Dad didn't approve and my Mom left him, and he was never the same. I worked 3 jobs and with things going like they are, I couldn't take care of J.J., and.. I just didn't know who to leave him with. I wanted him to have the best, and.." Samantha breaks down, and Ava looks at Samantha, with sympathy, as she says "I imagine you know about my temper Samantha." Samantha nods, and Ava gently says "I can tell sincerity and honesty, and you made a huge sacrifice and I want you to make yourself comfortable. Your Son needs you, and I need him." Samantha tells Ava "I expected you to kill me." Ava tells Samantha, as she gives her a hug "That curious little boy was what I needed, and I knew he was well taken care of. Samantha, you are a part of my family now, and you pick a room. We'll take care of everything else." Samantha and J.J. heads to a room, as Ava watches on, and Ava's phone rings, as she answers, and goes "Oh God!"
   At City Hospital, River returns to his room, as Terrance has finished his Surgery, and walks into the Private Waiting Area, as Willie and Sayyid sits next to each other, as Terrance asks "Where's Eve?" Willie tells her Son "She's about to kill Rachel. Aretha's with her as we speak." Terrance notice tears in his Mother, and Uncle's eyes, as he asks "Why do I sense something isn't right?" Sayyid looks at Willie, and tells Terrance "I'm going in there." Sayyid walks into River's room, as Terrance asks his Mother "What's going on with Uncle Clem?" Willie tells her Son what Sayyid told her, and Terrance is floored. At The Sunset Club, Eve, Aretha, and Keith sits at the bar, as Keith yells at Eve "Call my Father and ask him to give you comfort Eve!" Aretha looks at her Cousin, and asks Keith "What in the hell are you talking about Keith?" Eve is stunned, as she asks Keith in a suspicious tone "How did you.." Keith yells "I walked up to our apartment, and caught you and my Father Eve! Yeah, busted your ass!" Aretha meanwhile shakes her head, as she gets a text from Terrance, and Aretha tells Eve "River's out of surgery. Let's go to the Hospital." Keith yells at Eve "Andre doesn't mean shit to me, and I don't want nothing to do with you either. Maybe my Father will take care of you!" Eve slaps Keith out of his barstool, as she angrily hisses "Whether you like it or not you bastard, we have a Son together, and I have a Son in the hospital!" Keith yells "Well, it's on you Eve. I don't give a shit about River, and I don't give a shit about Andre.." Andre walks up, and punches Keith in the face, as he goes "Screw you too you sperm donor."
