Northbrook Center implodes as the mayor begins to call the crowds, and a huge crowd runs, including Aretha, as she looks back, as she says in a horrified "On Hell No. Oh God." Inside Emery's which falls to the ground, Ava and Winston lay next to each other, as Ciarra, has walked from the stairwell, and coughs as she yells for Ava and Winston, inside Class, Sully lays on the ground, as Jared's unconscious, and is pinned, as a poles lays across his back. Xavier meanwhile, sits inside a store, as he ducks, and crawls consciously, as he is in between Emery's and Class. Meanwhile Wallace, Leigh, and Mona, lay in the food court, as it's glass structure, and retro design has flattened the area.
   In Adam's Landing, at City Hospital, Beth is frozen, as Olivia, Terrance, and the staff watches on the TV, and Beth in a dead tone, tells Olivia, with full fear in her voice and stern, says "Call the medics at Valley Regional, and tell them to send my family to me." Beth walks away, and Terrance and Olivia are silent, as Beth walks with tears in her eyes. At Tenny's Penthouse, Gabriella asks Tenny "Are you ok?" Tenny looks at Ruthie, and strokes her head, and looks at Gabriella, and tells her as she cries her eyes out "They are all dead. My family's dead. I can't deal with this." Tenny hands Ruthie to Gabriella, and walks into her bedroom, as she sits at her makeup mirror, and pulls out a pistol, and aims it at herself, and Gabriella, Ruthie, and Precious, walks inside, as Tenny yells in an angry tone "Just let me finish things off! My Baby Sister's dead. My Ciarra, my Sister!" I have nobody now. I'm going to be with my family!" Gabriella yells "Your family are safe! Chill out! They need help, but they are fine." Tenny stares at Gabriella, and coldly responds, in a paranoid state, as she aims at her "One thing you best understand Gabriella Kenney, is this, if you are lying to me, I will make sure we both are dead. We have nothing left, and one less person to deal with. Do you read?" Gabriella, in a serious tone, responds "I don't lie Tenny, I am serious and trust me." Tenny walks over, and reaches for Ruthie, as she cries, along with Ruthie, and Tenny cradles her gently. At FJR, Frank, Bree, Willie, Rashad sits inside, as all are horrified. In the Storm Shelter, Bobby hangs up his phone, and looks at Floyd and Country, and pulls out his pistol on Clayton, and yells "You evil bastard! You deserve to be blown up!" Clayton laughs "Mother said Hi." Bobby warns him "Start talking, or Floyd and Country will pick up where they left off with you." Clayton tells everyone "We are true Hales. Mother and I. We gave poor Father power, coming from the poor farms outside Valley Ridge, innocence into becoming the bastard's that's going to kill everyone you love." Floyd walks over and grabs Clayton as Floyd breaks Clayton's nose, and drops him to the floor, and Bobby yells at Floyd and Country "Now the two of you just back off of ol Clayton, I am doing this one in. Bobby cuts the safety off, and tells Clayton, as he's aimed at him "Well your Mother and you just made one of the biggest tragedies ever. And you die for this, screw the law book you Mama's Boy." Clayton grows scared, as Floyd and Country hold their guns, but stands down, as Bobby shoots.
   At Nationwide Records, Allan looks at Rachel, as he asks "What in the hell is she talking about?" Rachel walks over to Allan, and smiles at him, and Allan tells Rachel "It's not my Grandson." Rachel seductively laughs, as Nathan, Rose, and Eve grows angry "It can be Mr.James, the god of rock." Nathan yells at Rachel "Get the hell out of my damn studio you stupid whore! And bring me back a damn name and a result!" Allan sighs "Groupies." Eve snarls "Gold-digging white trash." Rose quips "Rachel always did take after Desi."
  Meanwhile in Valley Ridge, inside the carnage, as safety crews search for people inside, and in Emery's, Ava and Winston wake up, and she looks at Winston, as he's also awake, and they look at each other and asks "Are you ok?" Winston looks at Ava, and tells her "It's time to nail that bitch." They close their eyes." At Class, Sully rolls to Jared, as he says to his Wife weakly "I can't feel anything Sully." Sully starts to cry, as she yells for help, and Xavier yells "Princess. Daddy's here." Xavier gets over to them, and he grabs his Daughter's hand, and looks around, and tells Sully "We can get out of here, but Jared's going to be difficult. We will need help with that." In the Food Court, people lay around, as Wallace wakes up, and looks at his Ex-Wife, as Leigh disappears, as safety searches for survivors in the rubble." Back inside Emery's, Ciarra gets to Ava and Winston, and starts to cough, as the ashes begins to give her difficulty breathing. Ciarra reaches for them, as she covers her mouth, and Ava tells Ciarra "Just do one thing." Ciarra asks "What?" Ava says "Don't call for help. And only tell Xavier." Ciarra yells for help, as she yells "Oh my God! Ava! Ava!" Ava and Winston looks at each other, as they smile and close their eyes, and Ava laughs "Ever been in a bodybag?" Winston quips with a smiles "Only from you dear."
  Back in Adam's Landing, Beth sits inside her office, as her hand's on the phone, with a scared look in her eyes, and a deadening silence, as Olivia and Terrance walks inside, and Olivia assures Beth "Your family are fighters. They are likely fine. People's survived these kinds of events before." Beth sighs "Well we don't know, and I haven't heard." The TV is meanwhile on, as Beth's eyes are glued to the television, and one of the news media interviews Aretha, as she stands off the property, as she says "My best friend is inside, and I hope she is alive." The interviewer asks "Aren't you close to the Jackson Family, who built Northbrook Center?" Aretha nods, and says "Not just close, family." Aretha walks away, as she looks for information." Beth looks at Terrance, as he sighs "At least Aretha's ok." Beth says in a scared tone "Xavier has that issue with his stomach, and Sully's heart. My family could be gone. Gracie and Xavier Jr, and Ruthie may not have nobody now. I will have to raise them if they don't live." Terrance assures her "They will be found Beth, and so will the people behind this." Beth coldly responds "When those bastards are found that did this..." Beth rushes out, as she says to herself "I know one already." Terrance looks at Olivia, as the phone rings, and Terrance answers "City Hospital?" A woman on the other line answers "This is Dr.Martin from Valley Regional, and we have a list of survivors." Meanwhile at FJR, Bree asks Frank "Are you alright?" Frank is silent, as he says in a sad tone "I may be the last Jackson left." Willie tells Frank "Hold hope. Your family's alive." Frank sighs "I haven't heard from Beth, or Bobby." Bree responds "That's a good thing then." Frank responds, in a serious tone "Yes and no Bree." Frank is silent, as Willie's phone rings, and she hands Little Sidney to Rashad, as she walks out of FJR. Meanwhile at Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny rocks Ruthie tightly, as she's silent, and Gabriella keeps an eye on the news, and yells "There's Xavier!" Tenny walks in, and her eyes widen, as hope begins to grow inside for news on the rest of her family." Meanwhile at The Storm Shelter at Hell Hill, Clayton cowers, as Bobby yells at him, and Floyd and Country stands back "Want to start talking you son of a bitch?" Clayton smiles, and responds "She does." A woman hits Bobby, Country, and Floyd in the back of the head, as they fall, and she looks at Clayton and grabs the keys, as she responds "He's finally dead. They all are."
   Back in Valley Ridge, Xavier yells at a safety worker outside, as media swarms, and he yells "Leave me the hell alone!" Xavier watches, as the crew brings Sully safely out, as she holds her chest, and the crew yells "He's stuck and barely going on!" Sully latches to her Father, as she cries "He can't feel anything. I can't lose him. And where's Mom? Where is everybody?" Xavier silently consoles his Daughter, as Ciarra limps out, as she's helped by the safety crews, and Xavier and Sully rush to her, as the paramedic gives her oxygen, as she gets on a stretcher, and a crew member walks out and yells "Two fatalties." Ciarra is alive, and Xavier asks a crew member "Who's the two fatalties?" The crew member responds "Your Sister and Brother In Law." Xavier's face turns white, as Sully faints, and Xavier yells "Get my Daughter to Adam's Landing now!" Sully weakly says "Somebody save Jared." Xavier assures her "He will be pulled out and alive Sully." Sully looks at her Father, as she gets on a stretcher also, as she's taken off, and Xavier watches Jared's body be brought out, as the crew yells "He's barely hanging on." Xavier yells "Send him to Adam's Landing and all of my family!" Meanwhile a member of the safety crew tries to tell Xavier "You need to be checked out.." Xavier shoves the man out of his way, as two people are brought out, with a sheet covering them, and Xavier walks over, and pulls the sheet up to see Ava and Winston, and he grabs Ava's hand, and Ava grabs his, and Xavier has a look of defeat, as they are carried off, and Xavier opens his hand and sees a hand written letter, and tells the crew "Send them immediately to my jet, all of my family!" Another body is brought out, and Wallace follows behind with tears in his eyes, as he tells Xavier "Mona didn't make it. I don't know about Leigh." Meanwhile Leigh has walked away, and looks at Northbrook Center, and keeps walking, as she stays out of sight.
   Meanwhile in Adam's Landing, Olivia gets off the phone, as she tells Terrance "Dr.Martin's coming with Sully, Ciarra, and Jared." Terrance asks, with fear in his tone "What about Xavier or Ava?" Olivia tells Terrance "Xavier made it out safe, but Winston and Ava didn't." Terrance cries, as he says "Damn. Aretha won't handle this. What do I do?" Olivia sternly says "Beth's bolted, and you and I need to get that Emergency Room prepped for the arrivals." Terrance makes a phone call, as Aretha's in Valley Ridge, inside the restaurant, as she watches the safety crews crawl through the rubble, and her hand drops to her side, and falls from her hand, as she runs out of the restaurant and screams "Ava! Ava!" Terrance, on the other line, hangs up, and looks at Olivia, and tells her "My Mama won't handle this well." At Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny sits in her living room, as she has her eyes glued to the TV set, and Tenny tells Gabriella, as she's seen Ciarra, Sully, and Xavier on the TV "Take Ruthie back across the hall, and leave me alone for a moment." Gabriella walks out, as Tenny lights up a joint, and looks at Precious, and looks up for a moment, and sighs "Don't scare me like that again." At Hell Hill, Beth's arrived down at The Storm Shelter, and notices Bobby, Floyd, and Country are knocked out, and unconcious, as she notices bricks, and she calls 911, and brings them to, and tells them "Behave and head to the Hospital." Beth pulls out her Pistol, and loads it, as she heads up the hill, as she is alert, and silent." Inside Hell Hill, Samantha's with her Son, and Gracie and Xavier Jr, as she's horrified from the Northbrook Center disaster. The door opens, and Samantha backs up, as a woman says "Hello my Granddaughter. Give me a hug." Samantha screams, as Clayton reaches for J.J., and Angelica turns around, and tells Clayton "They will pay for killing my twin Sister, and my nephew. Now for the real deal, and.." Beth walks inside, and Angelica turns around, as Beth screams "Eve Santiago!"
