Daylight And Darkness: Episode 297. Red Flags

  As evening's descended upon Adam's Landing, at The Storm Shelter, Phillip sits inside, chained to the floor, as he looks for a way to escape, as Xavier walks inside, and asks Phillip "So where are you going Phillip?" Phillip yells at Xavier "I have already explained my part in all of this, so you have no reason to keep me locked in this damn hell." Winston walks inside, and looks at his Son, as Phillip's eyes widen, and Winston tells his Son "Until you see the light Phillip, Xavier can keep you here. We have agreed to send you to Europe, if you don't join our side. I plan to tell your Mother where you are." Phillip yells "Well Father, you have a Grandson that's missing, and Santo has him." Winston looks at Phlllip, and tells him "He's in Unity. A source confirmed that to me earlier." Phillip yells "I hope Alexandra sees you for the evil bastard you are Winston Hale, leaving his own child in this cell." Xavier snaps at Phillip "You messed with my family, and it's not over, and you have a choice. All I have to do is make the call." Xavier heads up the hill, as Winston looks at his Son, and warns him "You made a bad move, and this is what happens. Better than dead." Winston also leaves, as Phillip yells in anger, as he looks around and tries to escape The Storm Shelter.
   At Beth's Penthouse, Tenny sits inside, as she's asleep in her chair, as Beth unlocks the door, as she shakes her head with worry, after her visit with Allan and Olivia, and walks inside, and Tenny wakes, and shoots her pistol, as Beth sees her Mother, and Tenny goes "Beth! My sweet girl!" Beth looks at her Mother, as she asks "How long have you been here?" Tenny responds "Since I went to pay a few visits. The exile.." Beth nods "I know Mama. Now tell me what happened when we got you out of town." Tenny sighs "I was kidnapped, and taken to a clinic in Buenos Aires Beth. Santo kept me in a coma, and wants his money." Beth rolls her eyes, as she responds "So Santo was the man who ran the casinos in Monaco?" Tenny nods, and tells her Daughter "He wants me dead after I told him I wouldn't pay him nothing." Beth assures her Mother "It will be over soon, and you need to stay out of sight. Sully doesn't know about you yet, nor does Ciarra." Tenny sighs "Oldest Sister. She won't let me live this down." Beth asks her Mother "So you want to go after Santo? Allan told me you wanted to kill him?" Tenny grins "I do. And here's a question, why haven't you went to pay his whore a visit yet?" Beth sighs "It's been a hard job playing dumb, and keeping things together Mama." Tenny laughs "Well Mommy's home, and you, Nathan, Rose, Xavier, Winston, Ava, and Victoria know I'm alive." Beth sighs "Rose.." Tenny immediately tells her Daughter "Rose and Nathan did as I asked of them, so you let that vendetta go." Beth hugs her Mother, as Beth tells Tenny "I really did think Santo killed you Mama." Tenny quips "It's hard to get rid of me."
   At Floyd and Ciarra's Home at Whispering Hills, Ciarra walks inside, as Floyd and Precious watches TV, and Floyd asks his Wife "So how did things go at your meeting?" Ciarra tells Floyd "It went well. Ava and I played some strategy with Emery's, and it'll boost our sales." Floyd looks at Precious, and tells Ciarra "I spent the day here, and Precious' been acting strange." Ciarra quips "Tennessee raised him." Floyd tells his Wife "Something's going on Ciarra. I called Nathan and he wasn't himself, and Hell Hill's been quiet, and same for Winston." Ciarra grows curious, as she tells her Husband "Something must be going on with Santo. He's pushing things."  Floyd holds his Wife, and sighs "Well Beth and Bobby broke off their engagement also, maybe you and Precious should go check on her." Ciarra looks at Precious, and responds "Not a bad idea." Ciarra and Floyd heads out, as Floyd sits in the living room, and takes a drink of moonshine, and has a flashback to a run in with Frank (Frank walks towards his car outside The Inn, as Floyd pulls up, and asks his Nephew "What are you doing here?" Frank snaps at his Uncle "Stay the hell out of it!" Floyd drives off, with concern in his eyes, as Frank sits inside his car, and says to himself "FJR's about to be set for life.")
   Meanwhile at The Farm, Frank, Cale, Allison, and Ginny sits inside the living room, as Frank walks into the living room, and tells his Son and Daughter In Law "Colt Parker was working for Xavier, and he's cut all funds to FJR effective immediately. He wants to destroy this team once and for all. It's been his dream. Son of a bitch. But luckily we have something else lined up." Cale asks his Father "What's in store?" Frank looks at his Son, and says in a quiet tone "I got something to do before things get started and contract signed. I can't discuss it." Allison tells her Husband and Father In Law "Xavier's hurting everyone at FJR." Cale sighs "He doesn't even give a shit either." Frank tells Cale and Allison "My brother's a mean bastard, your Great-Grandpa Jackson was one of the most evil people I ever knew. Daddy worshiped him." Cale assures his Father "I will talk to Xavier and see if I can reason with him." Frank tells his Son "No use, because he already has things going. His money talks for him, and I got a call earlier that he's talking to the Stock Car League." Cale rolls his eyes, and leaves, as Allison looks out and yells "Where are you going?" Cale is silent, as he heads to Hell Hill, and Frank looks at Allison, and tells her "I'll hang around and wait. I think things are about to get bad for Xavier."
   At Jazz, Eve sits inside, as she has left City Hospital, after leaving on her own (The doctor tells Eve "I am...") Eve has a drink, and plays the piano, as Olivia and Allan walks inside and finds her, as Olivia asks Eve "So you escaped I hear?" Eve looks at Allan and Olivia, and is silent, and Eve tells them "I am fine. Seriously." Allan tells Eve "Nathan's worried about you, and he said you were having headaches." Olivia looks at Eve, and in a serious tone, tells her "We need to give you a MRI and a CT immediately." Eve grows faint, as Olivia looks at Allan, and tells him "Call Sayyid. I'm taking Eve back to the hospital." Eve yells "Nobody's taking me.." Eve has another seizure, and Olivia and Allan calls 911. At City Hospital, Terrance sits inside his office, as Willie and Aretha sits inside, and asks Terrance "What's wrong with Eve?" Terrance tells his Mother and Sister "It's bad. She could have a aneurysm, or brain tumor. I think so at least." Eve and Willie grows concerned for Eve. Meanwhile in the hallway, Sayyid's on the phone with River, who's at his home in Sugar Creek, and River asks Sayyid "Why are you calling." Sayyid tells his Son "Your Mother was taken to the hospital, and she has escaped." River hangs up, as Sayyid gets a text from Allan, and walks inside his Nephew's office, as he tells Terrance, Aretha, and Willie "Eve's had another seizure."
   Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Xavier walks inside, as Leigh asks her Husband "Well think you can take this news X?" Xavier looks at his Wife, as Leigh tells him "Tenny's in town. Your Grandmother has returned." Xavier sighs, as he goes "Oh shit." Leigh responds "She's already looking for someone. Beth called a few minutes ago." Xavier tells his Wife "I'm glad she's safe. She made it out of Argentina." Leigh changes subjects, and tells Xavier "Millie's with Rashad, and Lauren's been gone for awhile." Xavier asks his Wife "Is that a hint?" Leigh smiles, touching Xavier's chest "Maybe." Meanwhile there's a knock at the door, as Xavier answers to find Cale on the other side, as he asks his Uncle "What in the hell is your problem Uncle Xavier? Do you not realize you're messing with more than just my Dad?" Leigh rolls her eyes, as Xavier tells his Nephew "I don't give a shit about your Dad Cale. Screw him. Selfish bastard." Cale looks at his Uncle, and tells him "FJR is my Father's legacy, and you won't destroy it." Xavier steps back, and looks at Cale, and tells him "You don't come inside here, and tell me what to do. Turn around, exit the way you came. And tell your Father it's just started. I know about what happened with his young whore." Cale yells "You really are the piece of shit Dad says you are." Xavier calmly responds "You walk cautiously." Cale leaves, as Leigh asks her Husband "Why are you so hellbent on FJR X?" Xavier looks at his Wife, and tells her in a distant tone "Let's just not talk about it my love. It's a real sore spot for me." Leigh tells Xavier "I understand it is." Xavier hugs his Wife, as he sighs "That team was the only thing he cared about when I was young."
   At Whispering Hills, Ava sits inside, as J.J.'s in bed, as Winston walks inside, and Ava hugs her Husband, and tells him "I just called Dr.Elliott and she's seeing J.J. in the morning. She's the best child psychologist in the U.S.." Winston looks at his Wife, and tells her "Our Grandson is fine. He's smart, and who should be concerned if he's quiet." Ava responds "I am concerned. That's not normal for his age." Winston asks his Wife "Have you talked to Victoria?" Ava tells Winston "We haven't discussed it. And she's gone by the way." Winston asks "Where did she go?" Ava tells him "I guess a doctor call." At The Sunset Club, Victoria has arrived, as she is stopped by a waiter, that takes her to a private room, and the door closes behind her, as the lights are dimmed, and Angelica slowly says to her Daughter "Mother's here Victoria. You found me." Victoria backs up, as Angelica laughs "That's right little girl, Mommy's here, and I'm not very happy with you." Victoria screams at her Mother "You killed my Daughter you sick old bitch!" Angelica walks up to her Daughter, and slaps her and snarls "She didn't have the right mindset to live. I saved you a problem." Victoria slaps her Mother back, and Angelica laughs "You get one freebie this time, but ever hit me again, you'll be in hell with your Daughter." Victoria shrieks, with anger and hurt in her eyes "You should be the one in hell!" Angelica laughs "Hell won't have me." Victoria pulls out a pistol, and two men walk inside, as Angelica presses a button, and warns her Daughter "Now that we've caught up, get lost, or I kill you too." Victoria walks out, as rage fills her eyes, meanwhile inside the Private Room, Angelica tells her guards "Go pick someone up for me."
   Meanwhile at Alexandra's Penthouse, Alexandra sits inside, as Colt walks in, and Alexandra laughs "Well I heard all about you and your ride." Colt sighs "Don't start in on me." Alexandra asks "And even a hit man for Xavier Jackson." Colt responds "He's helping me get an official pardon from Russell Marx." Alexandra tells Colt "Why didn't you ask me?" Colt responds "You can't help me with this. You'd use it for blackmail on me." Alexandra laughs "I'd never do that Colt." Colt heads to his room, as he calls it a night, as he checks his phone, and sees a text from Country, that reads "Meet me tomorrow." Inside the living room, Alexandra sits down, as there's a knock at the door, and Alexandra walks up to answer, as Emma arrives, and Alexandra asks her Daughter "What do you want?" Emma responds "Lauren is B.R.'s child." Alexandra responds "Another lie Nicole. Lie lie lie! I know the truth." Emma yells "Still a bitch after all these years." Alexandra yells "Damn right Nicole! And you never told me I had two Granddaughters! How dare you?" Emma yells "You know damn well why!" Colt walks out, as Alexandra yells "Go back to your room Colt!" Colt walks back, as Emma asks her Mother "Did you become a cougar?" Alexandra tells Emma "There's a door you can use now. You won't keep me from seeing my Granddaughters, nor do I really want a thing to do with you. I didn't raise a slut." Emma slaps her Mother, as Alexandra slaps back, outside Lauren shows up, as someone comes from behind, and drags her off, as Lauren can't escape.
   At Tenny's Penthouse, Beth and Tenny smokes a joint together, as they catch up, and there's a knock on the door, as Ciarra yells "It's me Beth." Tenny looks at her Daughter, and gets up and hides in the bedroom, as Ciarra walks inside with Floyd and Precious, as Ciarra hugs her Niece, and asks her "Are you ok Beth? I was worried when I talked to you this morning." Beth tells her Aunt "I blame all this on that new Doctor. But I'm fine. I'm an independent woman, who's at the stage where she settles down, and I'm still going through with my retirement from City Hospital." Tenny listens meanwhile, and says to herself "I must have met her earlier." Precious meanwhile gets a scent, and runs to Tenny's Bedroom, as Ciarra laughs "He always does that." Beth quips "That he does." Inside Tenny's Bedroom, Tenny hugs Precious, and whispers "Don't tell nobody Mommy's home." Downstairs, Frank has arrived in the lobby, as he heads up to visit Beth, with his hand in pocket, as he says to himself "I'm going to prove some things to my Brother."
  Meanwhile at City Hospital, Eve arrives in the ER, as Sayyid, Willie, Aretha, and Terrance are at her side, as Olivia and Allan brings Eve into a room, and Eve is confused, and asks everyone "Where am I?" Olivia looks at Terrance, and tells him "I want a MRI, CT, asap." Terrance calls over the nurses, as Olivia tells Eve "I am about to find out what's wrong." Sayyid tells Olivia "Eve had a bad experience in a Hospital many years ago. Someone tried to kill her." Eve looks at Sayyid, and he walks over and holds her hand, and assures her "It's ok Eve. You have me." Eve tells everyone "Whatever happens, don't say a word to my family about this. I will recover quickly and be able to sing at Allan and Olivia and Beth and Bobby's wedding." Two nurses arrive, as they take Eve to be examined, as Sayyid tells everyone in a scared state "Something is wrong with her. I'm scared for her." Willie and Aretha comforts Sayyid, as Terrance and Olivia assures Sayyid "We will find out." Olivia adds "I studied this for years and still study. I don't know what's going on, but she looks to have been sick for quite some time."

We have to go." Nathan and Rose gets dressed, as they head down to City Hospital, as Olivia admits her.
   At Santo's Manor, Emma returns, as Angelica stands inside, alongside her Brother, as Santo tells his Wife "We already have you covered, now we go for the others." Angelica laughs in a evil tone "Our name will be brought back to the front, and people will forget about the Jackson or Hale families. Keep the ones around who we need." Emma asks "Now what do you mean you have me covered?" Santo smiles, as he pulls out his phone, and Angelica laughs "Pablo doesn't like your children." In a warehouse, Lauren is tied to a chair, with a blindfold covering her eyes, as a guard sits by a phone. Back at Santo's Manor, Emma yells at her Husband and Sister In Law "Don't think of it Santo." Santo slaps his Wife, as Angelica smiles, and quips "You are a slut, who tarnish our grand name." Santo looks at his Sister, as he responds "Don't get started." Emma yells at Santo "You will stop hitting me." Santo grabs Emma, and asks her forcefully "Who will make me." Angelica walks out of the room, and laughs "I'm visiting the brat Nikki gave birth to."
   Meanwhile, Xavier and Leigh sits inside the living room alone, as they look at each other, and Leigh asks her Husband "Don't you ever grow tired of this?" Xavier asks "Tired of what?" Leigh tells her Husband "You and Frank." Xavier tells Leigh "It's what it will always be." At Cale and Allison's Mansion, Cale returns, as Allison tells her Husband "Your Dad left." Cale calls Frank, to no response. At Tenny's Penthouse, Beth sits in the living room with Floyd and Ciarra, as Tenny hides in her bedroom, and mouths silently "Go home Ciarra." Precious howls, and Tenny puts her finger on her mouth. In the hallway, Frank stands in the front door, as he thinks about Santo's offer, and knocks at the door, and Beth answers, as she asks Frank "What in the hell do you want?" Frank asks Beth "Where is she?" Frank, with a buzz, and carrying a pistol, slurs "I am about to make sure she's really dead." Ciarra and Floyd stare at Frank, as Ciarra asks "Who's really dead?" Frank yells "Didn't Beth tell you about Tenny? Well, the old bitch's still alive." Tenny walks out of the hall, and stares at Frank, aiming a pistol at him, and yells "And you're here for Santo aren't you?" Come on Frank. Pull that damn trigger." Frank aims his pistol, as Ciarra collapses, Floyd tends to his Wife, as Beth yells at Frank and Tenny.
