Daylight And Darkness: Episode 305. New Fires And Flames

   At Tenny's Penthouse, Beth and Bobby has a seat, as Tenny and Ciarra ask the newlyweds "So are the two of you going on a honeymoon?" Tenny snips at her Sister "Did you tie the knot?" Beth asks her Mother and Aunt, noticing Tenny staring at Ciarra, with anger in her eyes "What's going on between the two of you?" Tenny tells Ciarra "Don't you have something to tell Beth?" Ciarra gets up, and tells Beth "I'm glad you're home, and I wish you and Bobby all the happiness in the world." Ciarra hugs her Niece, and walks out, and Beth asks her Mother, as Tenny sighs "What was that about? You and her haven't gotten along since you've returned. You should have told her." Tenny asks Bobby "So Beth's staying at your home?" Bobby nods, as Beth tells her Mother "Better than living in this mad house, with Nathan and Rose." Tenny growls "Beth.." Bobby tells his Wife "Let me take you home and you can rest." Tenny assures Beth "Ciarra's just a prissy old bitch anyway." Beth gasps with shock "Mama.." Tenny tells her Daughter "It's ok. Now rest." Beth and Bobby leaves, as Beth tells her Husband "That wasn't a normal spat." Bobby agrees, as they head to the elevator. Inside, Tenny fires up a joint, and says to herself in a disgusted tone "I would have never dreamed my Baby Sister was a whore."

    At Jackson Inc, Xavier and Leigh are putting on their clothes, after making love, as Bree walks inside, and covers her eyes briefly, as Xavier asks his Niece "Here to tear me a new one about poor Frank?" Bree yells "Yes I am you bastard!" Xavier reminds Bree "Remember who Bobby works for." Leigh tells them "Calm down." Leigh asks her Husband "What did you do X?" Xavier defiantly tells them "I called in an old loan and I now own FJR, and The Farm, or as I called it as a kid, Hell." Bree warns her Uncle "If you go keep this up, I'll mess you up. Two can play these games Xavier." Xavier points to the door, and coldly tells Bree "Game on. Get the hell out of my office now." Bree asks "Why can't our family be united?" Xavier yells "It's my side, or Frank's. That's where the line crosses with me!" Bree stares at her Uncle, with disappointment, as she walks out, and bumps into Jack, as he sits on the floor, holding his chest. Bree asks her Cousin "Jack are you ok?" Jack tells Bree "Anxiety." Bree helps Jack up, as he tells Bree "I have weak spells, but please keep it between us." Bree sighs "You need to be seen about. You look tired." Jack sighs "I am." Bree heads out, as Jack returns to Ava's office, where Ava and Millie talk about the Jackson family, and share laughs, as Ava tells Millie "You sound so much like my Mama when she was a kid. She was one tough woman. I feel for you that you had to raise yourself, and your Sister." Millie nods, with sadness in her eyes, and Millie gets a text from Lauren, and tells her Aunt "Tell Daddy I said bye. Lauren wants to talk to me." Ava nods, as Millie leaves, as Jack walks inside, as Ava asks her Son "How's Samantha, and all the kids?" Jack laughs "They are fine Mom." Ava walks over to her Son, and tells him, as tears begin to fall "I am glad you're back, and alive and well my sweet baby." Jack tells his Mother "I am glad to be home." Ava hugs her Son tightly, with a smile of content, as Jack has doubt, and fear in his eyes.

    Meanwhile at HaleCorp, Winston and Victoria senses the tension in the room, between Wade, Jared, Sully, and Bridget, and Winston asks in a happy tone "So how do all of you know each other Bridget?" Bridget responds "Roommates with Sully, and had classes with Jared." Wade is silent, as Jared looks at his Wife, as Sully quietly mumbles "We're going down memory lane tonight Jared." Wade tells everyone "Well Bridget and I shall be off to our room at The Sunset Club." Winston tells Wade and Bridget "Forget it. Go to Whispering Hills, and pick a room." Wade accepts, as Sully mutters to herself "Aunt Ava will love this fakery." Jared tells everyone "Sully and I are heading off as well." Bridget tells Sully "We should do lunch." Sully sighs "Oh yeah." Jared and Sully walks out, as Wade and Bridget hugs Winston and Victoria, and Winston tells his Grandson, with pride "Welcome to the family Wade." Meanwhile at Phillip's Mansion, Phillip sits inside, as Jessica knocks at the door, and Phillip answers, as Jessica asks "How did it go?" Phillip sighs "Wade Issac was there. Son of a bitch." Jessica tells Phillip "We slept together once, and he got a good time and $15,000 dollars." Phillip responds "Fits him from what I know." Jessica tells Phillip "I have some more work to do, and tonight I'm all yours." Phillip smiles, as he tells her "I can't wait baby."
    At Chantel's meanwhile, Aretha, Willie, and Sassy arrives, as Latoya talks to the press, and Sassy yells at the media "Stay away from my Daugthter!" Aretha heads to her Cousin, and Keith tells her in a defeated tone "I stand up for my family, and my career gets destroyed over a whore like Latoya. Just like her Mama." Sassy turns around, as she hears Keith, and slaps him across the face with full force, as Sassy snaps "Oh no you didn't just call me a whore you sex addict!" Aretha tells Sassy boldly "You need to tell your Daughter to get lost. I mean it." Sassy goes "Is that a threat?" Aretha responds "No bitch. It's a damn promise!" Willie walks her Nephew away from the media, as Keith tells his Aunt "I worked so hard, for this, this.." Willie assures Keith "Your fans will see the light, and everyone will do the same for Latoya. She won't take a member of our family. I'm proud of you for standing up for us Keith." Keith cries, as Willie holds him. Meanwhile Latoya looks over at Aretha and Sassy, as they glare at each other, as the tension is high, and Latoya warns Aretha "Tell Rashad I want to see my little boy." Aretha slaps Latoya, and Sassy slaps Aretha, and Aretha begins to slap Sassy, as Latoya slaps Aretha in the face, and Aretha attacks Latoya, as Sassy jumps on Aretha, and Willie, and the press tries to intervene, as the cameras are on, as the fight ensues. Keith meanwhile sneaks away, as he sends a text, and has a look of defeat in his eyes.
   Meanwhile at FJR, Frank, Cale, Allison, Rashad and Little Sidney sits inside the shop, as Frank tells them "Xavier owns me. And there's not a damn thing I can do about it." Cale asks his Father "What happened to make you ask Grandpa Jackson for help?" Frank tells his Son "When I started this team, he signed on as a co-owner to help me cover my expenses, but he had Bobby write the papers, and Daddy basically had me screwed either way you look." Cale tells his Father "Xavier will pay for this. And I'll make damn sure that Colt fails." Colt returns, as he walks a man inside, and tells him "Here's your potential office Mr.Henderson." Jimmy Henderson, a rival Car Owner in The Stock Car League, and sponsored by Xavier, tells Frank "Well it looks like you finally lost." Frank warns Jimmy "You and I won't go out without a fight Jimmy!" Jimmy looks around the shop, and tells Cale and Rashad "The two of you will drive for me, and I'll expand to 4 teams effective now, and Frank, get the hell out of here." Cale yells at Jimmy "You won't treat my Dad like shit because he wouldn't merge with you." Jimmy tells Cale "This goes further back than that. He cost me the best shot I ever had at a Cup." Frank yells "Go to hell Jimmy. You are a liar, and an ass kisser, and the biggest cheater in racing." Jimmy laughs "That's why Henderson-Jackson Racing will be the best team." Frank asks "What do you mean Jackson?" Jimmy tells Frank, Cale, Allison, and Rashad "Xavier co-owns this team." Jaws drop and rage fills within Frank, and Cale's eyes.
   At The Inn, Rachel sits at the bar, as she thinks of Jack, and Rachel says to herself "He's alive. The love of my life is alive." Casey arrives, as she sits next to Rachel, and asks "How are you holding up?" Rachel tells Casey "I will never forgive what happened as long as I breath." Casey orders herself a soda, and orders Rachel a shot, as Casey tells Rachel "I don't blame you at all. It's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen." Rachel tells Casey "All I know is karma's a bitch, and Beth got it." Casey sighs "She's released. She's making a full recovery." Rachel sighs "Damn." Casey asks Rachel "So do you think it's wise to be out in public, with a warrant hanging over you?" Rachel tells Casey "I have a secret, and I can't say anything about it." Casey hands Rachel some money, and tells her "I think you will be safe here, and I'll stay quiet." Rachel thanks Casey, as she drinks her shot, and rents a room, and heads upstairs. Casey meanwhile gets a phone call, and she looks at the name, and sighs "Oh damn. Mama."
    Meanwhile at Nationwide Records, Nathan finishes the final preparations for the releases of Eve and Latoya's album." Rose gets off the phone, and tells her Husband "Midnight! Eve's single's been shipped to the stations, but Latoya's song's already out, and she just caused a scene." Nathan takes a toke from his blunt, and tells his Wife "Typical Latoya." Rose adds "Keith hit her." Nathan quips with a laugh "Good for him. I've sure as hell been tempted to do that." Rose tells her Husband "I love working with you, just being with you." Nathan looks at Rose, and quips "What can I say? I rock." Rose laughs, as she kisses Nathan. The door opens, as Floyd walks inside, and asks his Grandson "Do I smell pot?" Nathan tells his Grandfather "Yes." Floyd gives Nathan a look of disapproval, as he changes subjects, and tells his Grandson "I hear I'm about to be a Great-Grandfather?" Nathan sighs "Grandma." Floyd nods, and hugs Rose, and tells them "I'm proud of the two of you. Both of you have done well lately, and I'm glad we're growing close." Nathan replies "I am too Grandpa. I think the tide's turning in the family. Even Beth's been nice to Rose." Rose laughs "I am stunned about her change of character." Floyd reminds them "She nearly died, so she has a new lease on things." Nathan tells his Uncle "I like her, I just wish she wasn't such a bitch to Rose, same for Aunt Ciarra." Floyd tells his Grandson, and Rose "Ciarra's set in her ways, and she's always staying busy, and I think it's catching her." Rose tells Floyd "Tenny and Ciarra are total opposites." Floyd disagrees, and tells Rose "More alike then either of them would ever admit."
   At Alexandra's Penthouse, Alexandra walks inside, as Lauren tells her Grandmother "I told Sully and Leigh." Alexandra tells her Granddaughter "Good. Your Mother's helping somebody, and I bet it's Angelica." Lauren agrees, adding "They are cordial. Mum said once that Angelica was like a Mummy to her." Alexandra's eyes glow with anger, as she tells Lauren "Well I don't have any love for Nicole. She was a Mother's worst nightmare, and sadly, she learned from me." Millie arrives, as Alexandra tells her Granddaughters "I was a mistress a few times before and during my marriage to your Grandpa." Millie asks her Grandmother "What happened to him Grandmum?" Alexandra quickly responds "He had a heart attack." Alexandra changes subjects, and tells Millie and Lauren "Angelica showed up today when I went to see Nicole, something's up girls." Lauren sighs "I hate Angelica with all I have. She's a cruel, evil woman I would compare to the Devil's spawn." Alexandra quips "That sums the bitch up. Your Mother's heading down that same road."
    At Santo's Manor, Emma walks inside, as she notices the house is quiet, and smiles as she says to herself "This is nice. No Angelica or Santo, and I'm about to knock Xavier, Winston Hale, Walter Dubois, Ava Jackson, all of them off their pedestals." Angelica walks down the stairs, as she tells Emma "Well dear, don't forget me. But if you try to overpower me, I'll make you hurt, and I mean hurt." Emma asks "Where are you off to if I may ask?" Angelica bluntly responds "None of your damn business. Focus on your task, and don't worry about what I'm doing!" Angelica struts off, as Emma glares, and says to herself "Well you don't know what I have in store for you bitch. I'm not scared of you." Emma stands in the living room, as there's a knock at the door, and Emma answers to find Phillip, as he tells Emma "So what do you have in mind?" Emma tells her Brother "Sell Wallace's to Tenny Sullivan, where it belongs." Phillip tells his Sister "I think that will ease some tension in their family." Emma tells Phillip "I want my family. Me and my girls. It's time I stop thinking about me all the time." Phillip hugs Emma, and tells her "I support you, but Alexandra never forgives and forgets." Emma sighs "Well too bad for her, I got a plan to get her out of my way. She's not turning Ameila and Lauren against me."
   Back at Jackson Inc, Xavier and Leigh are inside his office, as Leigh tells her Husband "I think you really need to let this go with Frank X. It's eating you up." Xavier tells his Wife "I'm making the bastard pay for what he did to my Mother, and he will pay dearly." Leigh sighs "The most important thing matters, and that's the fact Beth's alive, and she's out of City Hospital. Get some satisfaction in that." Xavier tells his Wife "I sadly just can't do that my love. Frank made a mistake he has to pay for. And that will be something I make certain will happen. It's already in effect." Meanwhile Frank stands at the gate to The Farm, as the ALPD blocks the gates, and Frank yells "Let me on my damn property you son of a bitches!"  The officer tells Frank "You are not allowed anywhere within a miles of this land Mr.Jackson." Cale, Allison, and Ginny pulls up, as Cale asks the ALPD in a tone of disgust "Why are all of you keeping us from our homes?" Cass tells him "You can't enter or you'll be in jail for trespassing." Cale looks at Allison, as he walks over to his truck, and gets inside, and he backs the 4x4 up, and drives through the fence, as he drives onto the property, chased by three police cars. Frank warns Cass, as he holds his Daughter In Law close "Xavier's going down for this. I mean that shit." Cale is stopped, as he's dragged, and handcuffed, as Cass has him arrested, and Cale is quickly escorted to the squad car, as the ALPD drives away, and Bree pulls up, as she asks her Uncle in a shocked tone "What's going on? I don't like what I've witnessed." Frank tells Bree "Xavier wants me dead, and I need to arrange things." Bree sighs "He's having a Grandpa moment."
   At Sully and Jared's Penthouse, Sully and Jared returns, as Gabriella sits inside the living room with Ruthie, and Gracie and Xavier Jr chases each other, and Gabriella tells her Son and Daughter In Law "I need a job. A break from watching kids all the time. I need to use some of my money." Sully tells her Mother In Law "Bridget Walsh married Winston's other Grandson. Wade Issac." Gabriella shakes her head, as she asks Jared "Did you see her today? You are quiet Jared." Sully looks at her Mother In Law, as she turns towards Jared, and asks "See? Catch me up." Gabriella tells her Daughter In Law "She had a miscarriage." Sully's eyes widen, as she asks her Husband "You slept with Bridget." Jared responds "We were first loves." Sully looks at Jared, as she gets upset, and starts to cry "You lied to me Jared. No. No.." Sully heads towards the door, and walks out, as she cries as she feels betrayed and scared.
   At HaleCorp, Winston sits inside his office with Victoria, as Ava arrives, and Winston tells Ava "Wade and Bridget are here." Ava asks "Where are they?" Winston hugs Ava, and responds "On the way to the house. They are staying with us for a little while, as they debate moving here." Ava sighs "It's ok with me." Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, Wade and Bridget walks inside Ava and Winston's Estate, and Bridget tells her Husband "I really hope this isn't going to be the norm while we're in Adam's Landing. The silent treatment." Wade tells Bridget "You knew about Rachel, but I didn't know anything about you and Jared." Bridget assures Wade "It's in the past Wade. Like with you and Rachel." Wade tells Bridget in a dismissive tone "That hug looked like some flames Bridget, and I don't trust nobody." Bridget yells "Wade Issac Hale trust me when I tell you my heart is yours." Wade sighs, as he hugs his Wife, with doubt in his eyes. Outside, Angelica watches on, as she knocks at the door, and Wade and Bridget walks to the door, and opens it and asks Angelica, "Can I help you?" Angelica tells them in a confused tone "I don't know where I'm at. How do I get back to Adam's Landing?" Wade gives Angelica instructions, and Angelica leaves, and Bridget asks Wade "Do you think she's alright? She looked troubled." Wade quips "This city's full of twists and turns Bridget."
    Meanwhile Beth and Bobby arrives at his home, and Bobby tells his Wife "Now remember what your Mama told you. Rest." Beth sighs "For the birds. I'm just glad I'm out of a hospital room, and comfortable." Beth pulls out a joint, and smiles at her Husband "To being together." Bobby kisses his Wife, as he shares a toke with Beth. At Tenny's Penthouse, Nathan and Rose return, as Tenny tells them "Well Beth's living with Bobby. Nathan tells his Grandmother "Well I've found Rose and I a home in Bannister Hills. Tomorrow I'm buying the place." Tenny looks at Nathan and Rose, and sighs with sadness "It will be so quiet and lonely here without you and Rose." Rose looks at her Husband, and tells him "Do you think it's wise to leave Tenny living by herself. She's almost.." Tenny snaps at Rose "Don't dare say my age!" Nathan asks his Grandmother "Are you sure you want us to stay with you?" Tenny answers "Until Rose gives Birth. Precious doesn't want a kid in the house." Rose, and Nathan roll their eyes, as Tenny adds "But until then, neither of you are going anywhere. At Floyd and Ciarra's Home at Whispering Hills, Ciarra returns as Floyd sits inside, and asks his Wife "So how's Tenny?" Ciarra sighs "Tennessee's herself today." Floyd hugs his Wife, and tells Ciarra "Well maybe she'll be in a better mood tomorrow." Ciarra heads to the bedroom, as she tells her Husband "I think I'm taking a nap." Ciarra walks inside the bedroom, as she walks over to the dresser, and pulls out a a small cedar box, and opens it, as a photo's inside, and an address, as Ciarra sits silently, and says to herself "I can't keep this to myself anymore. I need to know."


 
    

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 304. After The Weddings

   It's one week later in Adam's Landing, and at City Hospital, Bobby walks inside Beth's room, as Beth has been cleared to go home. Beth looks at her Husband, as Bobby asks his Wife "So where are we going Boss? My home, or Tenny's?" Beth is quiet for a moment, as she tells Bobby "I think I want to visit the family." Bobby looks at his Wife, and reminds her in a gentle tone "Terrance did say you needed to rest." Beth grins, and tells Bobby "I was the one who taught him everything he knows also Bobby. Trust me, I'm fine. Let's go see my Mama first." Bobby sighs, as he and Beth walks out of her room, as they head to Tenny's Penthouse.

   At Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny sits in her living room, as she smokes a joint, and tells Precious "It's quiet around here." There's a knock at the door, as Tenny sighs "Shit. Spoke too soon." Tenny walks towards the door, as she answers to find Alexandra on the other side, as she walks inside, and Tenny asks Alexandra, noticing some discontent on her face "What's bothering you? That Daughter still causing you hell?" Alexandra looks at the joint in Tenny's hand, and asks "I didn't know you smoked marijuana?" Tenny quips "I have many secrets. Sadly I couldn't rid the world of Frank the horn dog, so I will just sit here and smoke and feel content that my sweet Beth's about to be home, and Allan and Olivia's on their honeymoon, and figure out how I'll deal with a screaming baby in a few months." Alexandra asks "Is Rose pregnant?" Tenny nods, and smiles, as she tells her friend "Oh she is. She hasn't told Nathan yet but I think he knows." Alexandra congratulates Tenny, and Tenny quips "I just hope Rose doesn't think I'm going to sit here and play Granny. I already done that a long time ago. I'll let Allan and Olivia do that." Tenny changes subjects, as she asks Alexandra "So is Nikki, Emma, Queen whore the first still trying to blackmail you?" Alexandra sighs "Yes. But I think you may want to talk to Xavier. She's about to sell Wallace's, and you deserve that company back." Tenny responds boldly "Damn right I do. I don't intend to run it, but Xavier will do my store justice, but I want you to head it." Alexandra goes "Me? Really?" Tenny tells Alexandra "I never wanted a man to run a company I started, and when it gets into my hands again, I want someone in charge that can run it as I would, and you're perfect." Alexandra accepts, and tells Tenny "I'm heading down there to see how the sale's going. I'll let you know what I find out." Tenny thanks Alexandra, and assures her "Beth will deal with your Daughter of many names. Don't worry about her." Alexandra smiles at Tenny, as she walks out, and Tenny quips "She may deal with me if she does what I've heard she's planning to do."

   At Jackson Inc, Xavier sits inside his office, as Millie sits inside with her Father, as Xavier teaches his Daughter the ropes of business, as Ava walks inside, and Xavier gets up to hug his Sister, as Ava tells her Brother "Someone wanted to say hello." Jack walks inside, and Xavier hugs his Nephew, and Xavier tells Jack "I still can't wrap my mind around the thought you're alive and well." Ava meanwhile looks at Millie, and asks her Niece "So you're not working with Sully and Leigh at Class?" Millie looks at Ava, and responds "I wanted to learn the in and outs of Jackson Inc. I've been helping Aunt Ciarra out with Emery's as well." Ava responds "I have heard, and very impressed. You have a ton of talent in business, and with a modeling background, that could work wonders for my summer line." Xavier asks his Sister "Going all out?" Ava nods, and replies "Oh hell yes! My fire is back, and my family's together. Emery's sales are picking up, and your Daughter here has a bright mind." Xavier quips "She takes after me." Everyone laughs, as Jack asks his Uncle "So do you need any help around here Uncle Xavier? I'm ready to return to the working world." Xavier tells his Nephew "There's always room for family here Jack. And I'll always be grateful to you for saving my Princess." Ava and Jack heads to her office, as Millie asks her Father "I have been wondering, if Sully has Jack's heart, then who's heart does Jack have?" Xavier tells his Daughter "I have no idea sweetie, but he's alive, and that's all that matters." Xavier tells Millie "Go to Ava's office, and help her out, and get to know your Cousin. I have something to do." Millie hugs her Father, as she heads out, and Xavier makes a phone call, as he tells the person on the other line "Tell Henderson the sale's complete, and I have him a driver."
   Meanwhile at HaleCorp, Winston sits inside his office, as Phillip and Jared has arrived, and a few moments later, Victoria, as Jared asks his Grandfather "So what's going on Grandfather?" Winston looks at his Grandson, and turns to his Son, and Daughter, as he sits behind his desk, and tells his family "I am ready to slow down and retire from HaleCorp. I've spent many years building this company, and now the time has come to pass the baton to one of you." Phillip tells his Father "I think I showed you that I'm capable of running HaleCorp Winston." Winston tells his Son "You were more interested in Jessica Elliott than you were heading a multi-billion dollar conglomerate Phillip. You are not capable of being in charge, and you are known to be a traitor." Phillip grows angered, as Winston asks "Shall we go back to when you were doing my Brother In Law's bidding with Wallace's?" Phillip yells "Well you won't ever let me live that down will you?" Winston ignores Phillip, and turns to Jared, and tells his Grandson "You have proven yourself responsible and Xavier's done an excellent job grooming you for a position like mine here. This is your legacy, but I don't want to cause a rift with Xavier." Jared tells his Grandfather "I agree, though it's very tempting." Victoria tells her Father "I'm a Doctor, and I don't believe I'd be good at this Daddy." Winston pushes a button on his desk, as he tells his secretary "Send him in." Inside walks Wade Issac-Hale, Winston's Grandson, as he looks around the room, and goes "Wow! I see the entire family's here." Phillip stares at Wade for a moment, as does Victoria, as both of them turn to Winston, as Jared asks his Brother "What are you doing here Wade?" Victoria tells Wade "I know your history and you're not about to take advantage of my Daddy. Let's make that clear now!" Wade tells everyone "Winston, or should I say, Grandpa called me here as well for the same reason, and I am interested in succeeding him at HaleCorp." Winston asks his Grandson "And where's that beautiful Wife?" Wade responds "She's looking around Adam's Landing right now. We're looking for a place to rent before we make any decisions." Winston tells Wade "Come stay with Ava and me at Whispering Hills. It's time we grow close." Jared and Victoria watches on with suspicion, as Phillip tells everyone "Well I think I'm not needed here, so I'll just go." Phillip walks out, as Winston looks at Jared, Victoria, and Wade, and tells them "Phillip is someone you have to watch." Outside, Phillip makes a phone call, and tells the person on the other line "I'm on my way."
   At Class, Leigh, Sully, and Lauren sits inside Sully's office, as Lauren thanks Sully and Leigh, as they've offered Lauren a modeling job for Class, and Lauren tells Sully and Leigh "I have done some sketches if you are interested in seeing them." Sully tells her Cousin "Hand them over." Lauren hands her sketch pad over to Sully, as she and her Mother goes through Lauren's designs, and Sully and Leigh are both amazed, as Sully asks Lauren "Who taught you how to draw like this? I love it!" Lauren tells them "Self taught. Millie and I used to draw designs all the time when we were young. We wanted to one day be in the fashion world." Leigh tells Lauren "I think you have a future in this business." Sully agrees, as she continues to look through Lauren's sketches, and adds "Damn you're good. I think you and I should work together on this line I'm creating, called "Scandalous"." Lauren tells Sully "I like that name." Leigh agrees, and tells Sully "I think Lauren's going to be a huge asset to Class." Sully agrees, and Lauren changes subjects, as she tells them "We need to talk about something and it can't really wait." Sully asks "What is it?" Lauren tells Sully and Leigh "My Mother's selling Wallace's and she wants Class." Sully looks at her Mother, as Leigh takes a deep breath, and rolls her eyes, as she sighs "Oh shit, here we go again." Lauren tells them "I really hope my Grandma can stop her. But Mother has her ways of getting what she wants."
   Meanwhile at Nationwide Records, Nathan sits in the recording studio, as he speaks to Eve, who's in Montserrat, and tells her "I'm about to release your album, and the recording industry's ecstatic about it." Eve tells Nathan "I'm feeling better, and this news makes a sick lady like me feel great. I put everything in your hands, and I can't wait to see the results." Nathan assures Eve "Latoya's about to be brought down to earth." Eve laughs weakly, as she battles Brain Cancer "Aretha really tore her ass a new one. Tell Allan and Olivia congrats, and let's send Latoya a message she'll never forget." Nathan tells her "Most definitely Eve." Before Eve hangs up, she tells Nathan "I love the album title, The Diva, perfect." Eve hangs up, as Nathan makes a phone call to the distributors, and tells them "It's time to release the albums." Rose walks inside, as Nathan looks at his Wife, and asks "So?" Rose goes "So..." Nathan asks "What did the OBGYN say? Grandma told me you were going?" Rose stares at her Husband, and laughs "You bribed her didn't you?" Nathan quips "A blunt will get Grandma talking. And she also told me she won't play Granny." Rose sighs "She told me the same thing, and to look for another place." Nathan tells his Wife "At her age, she doesn't need kids around, and we know her other habits as well." Rose nods, and tells her Husband "I think it's time we should look for a place of our own. With Beth and Bobby getting married and all, I think Tenny wants them to move in, and you know how I get along with your Aunt." Nathan shrugs "She's been nice lately, and loves kids." Rose tells her Husband "We need our own place." Nathan sighs "I think you're right Rose. I think I'll look into a place in Bannister Hills. It'd be a great place to raise a family." Rose hugs her Husband, and tells him "I'm so excited. We're about to be parents." Nathan kisses Rose, and responds "Yes we are, and we'll be excellent."
   At The Evans Home, Willie, Aretha, Terrance, Rashad, and Little Sidney arrive, as they've been summoned by Floyd, as Floyd tells the Evans Family "It's finished." Willie opens the door, as she walks inside her new home, as tears fill her eyes, as she cries "It looks beautiful." Aretha holds onto her Brother, Son, and Grandson, as they walk around the house, as it's been rebuilt after being burned to the ground by Michael Barr, and Willie looks at Floyd, as she notices an elevator, and asks "That elevator looks familiar Floyd. Did you take this out of Hell Hill?" Floyd smiles, and responds "It's a gift from Xavier and Leigh. I know you have trouble getting up and down the stairs, and this was going to be for Ruth, but Ruth would want you to have it." Willie cries, as she thanks God, and tells Floyd "You went out of your way, and I have no idea how to repay you." Floyd tells Willie "You owe me nothing Willie. And I won't accept no payments from any of you." Aretha tells her Mother, as she looks at the fireplace "Look at those pictures." Willie looks, as there's pictures of Ruth, Willie's family, children, and Willie's wedding photo with Sidney, and Willie asks her family "Did you all play a part in this?" Terrance raises his hand, and says "Guilty as charged Mama." Willie hugs her Son, and her family, as she tells them "I will miss my modest home, but this is now a new home, and I just wish Clem was here." Aretha tells her Mother "He should be back soon. He's spending some time with Eve and River right now." Willie tells her Daughter "He needs to be here to rein Latoya in." Rashad tells his Grandmother "I think Mom's story will do that." Aretha nods, as she tells everyone "Latoya Shane messed with the wrong damn family. And nobody breaks the Evans apart." Willie defiantly responds "Damn right!"
   At Wallace's Corporate Headquarters, Emma sits inside Santo's old office, as Alexandra walks inside, and Emma asks her Mother with a smile "So Mother, finally come to your senses?" Alexandra tells her Daughter "I have always had my senses Nicole. And here's a check. Tenny Sullivan wants her company back. And if you have any humility, you will sell it to her. She founded it!" Emma asks "And what if I said I already have a buyer?" Alexandra asks "And who might that be?" Angelica walks inside, as she looks at Alexandra, and tells her coldly "I own Wallace's, and what's in the Santiago family, stays in the Santiago family you murdering homewrecker!" Alexandra steps back, as she asks her Daughter "You are helping this evil bitch?" Emma tells her Mother "I have more loyalty towards Angelica Hale than I'll ever have for you Mother. You are a lie!" Angelica tells Alexandra "Tell Tenny Sullivan she needs to jump in that grave next to her Husband. It's the only thing worthy for her." Alexandra warns Emma "I plan to let Millie and Lauren know about this, and they will disown you for good." Emma warns her Mother "If you keep on, I'll have to make a phone call to Russell Marx Mother." Alexandra storms out, as Angelica yells "Go sex someone whore." Alexandra ignores Angelica, as Emma looks at Angelica, and tells her "You saved me from Pablo. I'll always be grateful to you for that Angelica." Angelica looks at Emma, and warns her "I didn't kill him for you dear, I killed him so I would be in charge of my family legacy! And since Pablo owned this chain, we will keep it, and you will answer to me, or else I'll kill your Daughters, and make sure they die. Now we take Class, and then you'll be distracted, as I take Wallace's, and destroy the Jackson family, well we will."

I know she's wanting to get custody of her Son, and I read Aretha Evans' article on The Exposer." Sassy sighs "That bitch has it out for me, and Latoya. She's trying to destroy Latoya, but my Daughter did bring this on herself." Casey asks "How?" Sassy sighs "She wanted fame, and gave my Grandson up. I will feel like shit saying this, but I side with The Evans." Casey asks Sassy "Why?" Sassy responds "Because I know Sidney's in a good home, and Rashad's a better parent than Latoya could ever be." Meanwhile at Chantel's, Latoya and Keith has a drink, as Keith warns Latoya "I lost many years with my Father because of selfishness, and you need to leave Little Sidney where he is." Latoya yells "If you didn't have a STD, then I wouldn't be fighting for him! I wanted to have your child Mr.King Of The Bedroom!"

Tenny stares in a confused tone, and asks "What in the hell are you talking about?" Ciarra tells Tenny "Remember when I left town during the war? Well..basically, B.R. and I had a child. He and I gave it up because he was Married, and he was in town, and I came here for awhile, before I gave her up for Adoption." Tenny stares at her Sister in shock, as she gasps "Oh my god.

Tenny gets up, and tells Casey "That baby will make you fat. And Frank will find another whore to sleep with. I hope you have a rebound.." Casey slaps Tenny, and Tenny returns the slap, as she warns Casey "Since it will be some time before my sweet Beth's back to herself, I think I'll make this office my second home and keep an eye on you. And tell Frank to wear a cup, because this bastard you're carrying will be the last bastard he helps create. Now get out, I'm smoking whore." Casey yells "I'm not a whore you demented old bitch."

Bobby heads out, as he walks out of Xavier's office, where Ciarra and Floyd stand, and Ciarra asks Bobby "Did you get a call from my Sister?" Bobby nods, and tells Ciarra "She has something up her sleeve. Allan and Olivia are getting married today." Ciarra grows quiet, as she notices something inside Bobby's pocket, and Floyd tells Bobby "That looks like a box in your pocket." Bobby sighs "Well, I've carried this since Beth was shot. And I talked to my Son, and he supports what I'm planning." Ciarra gushes, as she goes "Are you proposing to my Niece? How romantic." Bobby responds "I'm marrying her. I love her, and Tenny wants us to get married now. She's calling the immediate family." Ciarra sighs "My Sister always has something planned." Bobby nods, as Xavier walks out of his office, and asks Bobby "So Grandma called you?" Bobby responds "Did she call you also?" Xavier nods, and shakes Bobby's hand, and tells him "I think Mother will accept, and you won't have to worry about my Brother now getting in the way." Bobby looks at Xavier, Ciarra, and Floyd, and tells them "Well let's head down to the Hospital. I was going to stay quiet, but I guess Tenny wants everyone down there." Xavier laughs, as he tells them "Leigh, Sully, and Millie are already heading down there, and where's Jared?" Jared and Winston walks out of his office, as Jared says to himself in a state of shock "I can't believe he's alive." Xavier asks "Who?" Winston tells Xavier "Jack and Samantha came home last night." Xavier's floored, as Floyd tells his Nephew "I meant to tell you, but got distracted." Xavier sighs "I bet Sis is happy. I guess that was what Leigh was going to tell me later."

Ava tells them in a scared tone "I can't lose him again. I just can't." Victoria sighs "I feel the same way about Samantha, but noticed anything wrong, yet she's her blood, and it's all about the family bloodline with her." Ava tells them "If you're right, I'll kill her and make damn sure she's dead this time. It won't fail again like in Argentina." Victoria reminds her "We did find Tenny." Ava sighs "That's right. She was catatonic when we found her." Willie tells them "I don't really know her, but she and Ruth had a hell of a relationship. Ruth hated her for years." Ava sighs "That's Tenny. She and Mama never got along. But they grew close towards the end." Ava looks at Victoria, Willie, and Aretha, as all are concerned "I just know I can't lose my baby again. And I'll make sure nothing happens to him, and Angelica will die!"

I never liked her, and it pissed me off when she got Grandma high the night she died." Frank tells his Niece, Son, and Daughter In Law, as he holds Ginny "That's Tenny, and she has it out for me. She has let it be known she hates me, ever since we met. (Flashback: Frank sits at the kitchen table inside Tenny and J.D.'s Mansion, as he meets Beth's Family for the first time.

Not really into it myself, but if you're successful, you can make some money." Tenny asks Frank "So your Daddy is a Moonshine distributor down south? Beth sighs "Mama.." Ciarra tells her Sister, as she and Jacob's there "Tennessee stop being a bitch." Tenny looks at her Sister, and tells her "I don't want a loser for a Son In Law. Allan's already with a woman I can't stand." Beth tells her Mother "Frank and I are getting married, so deal with it." J.D. is quiet, as he gives his blessing, as does Ciarra and Jacob, but Tenny gets up from the dining room table, and points her finger at Frank, and snaps loudly "I don't like you at all. And nothing will change it you redneck!") Allison tells everyone "I wish I could be close to her, but she seems to like Nathan and Xavier more." Frank sighs "Hell they help her out. She's crazy, and they allow it." Cale asks his Wife "Is there something else that's bothering you baby?" Allison tells him "Mom and Dad are getting married today at the Hospital." Cale asks his Wife "Do you think we should go? You know your Grandma, and Xavier will be there, and maybe your Brother?" Frank tells them "Go, and I'll watch Ginny." Bree stays with her Uncle, as Allison tells Cale "Mom will be there, and she isn't happy, but we're going." Cale rolls his eyes, and tells his Wife "I'm not taking any shit from Xavier." Allison tells her Husband "I'm taking no shit from Grandma." Cale and Allison heads out, as Bree asks Frank once the two of them are alone, and Frank holds Ginny "What's gotten into you?" Frank is quiet, as he asks his Niece "What are you talking about?" Bree warns her Uncle "You and Xavier reminds me of you and Grandpa." Frank quips "Well he's just like that son of a bitch."
    Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Lauren sits in the living room, as she watches Gracie, Xavier Jr, and Ruthie, and there's a knock at the door, and Lauren answers to find her Mother, as Emma walks inside and asks her Daughter "Why haven't you let me know you were alive?" Lauren responds "Well you acted like you didn't give a shit. You were so wrapped up with that bastard Pablo, and left Millie and I to fend for ourselves." Emma tells her Daughter "He's dead now." Lauren tells her Mother defiantly "Leigh Woods Jackson has been more of a Mom to my Sister and me than you've ever been." Emma yells "Oh really. I wasted my time crying over you when I thought you were gone! You are one ungrateful little bitch.." Lauren slaps her Mother, as she yells "Get the hell out of this house, and away from me." Emma snaps "You are turning into my Mother." Lauren sneers "Something else you never told me. Liar." Emma storms off, as Lauren shuts the door, and fumes over her Mother, as Emma says to herself "Leigh won't take my girls from me. I'll make damn sure of that! Same goes for Mother."
   At HaleCorp, Alexandra has arrived, and walks into the lobby, as Winston arrives a few moments later, and Alexandra asks Winston "I thought you were with Ava.?" Winston tells Alexandra "I had to make some visits." Alexandra and Winston gets on the elevator, as they head to Phillip's office, where Phillip and Jessica has passionate sex, and they make love on his desk, in candlelight. Winston and Alexandra gets off the elevator, and walk to the door, and opens it, as Winston turns on the light, and Alexandra screams "What in the hell is this! What in the hell are you doing with my Son you slut!" Phillip glares at his Mother, as Winston glares at his Son, and warns him "I'm not pleased to see this. There's a time and place for everything." As Winston talks to Phillip, Alexandra yells at Jessica "No! Don't say shit to me! I remember you like it was yesterday's nightmare. Sleeping with my Husband and having two brats from him!" Alexandra attacks Jessica, and Jessica yells "Get the hell off of me you old bitch!" Phillip breaks up the fight, and Winston yells "SILENCE!" Winston asks Jessica "Aren't you J.J.'s doctor?" Jessica nods, and tells Winston "This has nothing to do with J.J. This is between me and Alexandra." Winston warns Jessica "I won't allow my family to get involved in this." Winston turns to his Son, and tells Phillip "I hope you know this is an audition. You won't last long in the running like you're going boy." Phillip yells at his Father "I'd really hope Marx would arrest you for what you and Xavier Jackson, and you also Alexandra did to me." Jessica looks at everyone, and Alexandra tells her Son "I support Winston's actions." Jessica asks Alexandra "Now didn't you sleep with Mr.Hale? I know he's Winston's Son. Elliot told me about it." Alexandra slaps Jessica, as Winston pulls Alexandra back, as Phillip hangs onto Jessica, and Winston tells Phillip and Jessica in a stern voice "Get dressed and go to The Sunset Club." Alexandra yells "No. She best stay her sleazy ass away from Phillip if she knows what's good for her." Jessica snaps at Alexandra "Watch yourself old woman, the truth hurts. And I'll gladly tell your Daughter about what happened to Elliot." Winston nudges Alexandra out of Phillip's office, as Alexandra fumes "I hate her with all I have!" Winston tells her "Just head home, or back to Class. I'll talk to Phillip. I'm retiring from HaleCorp, and I am naming a successor." Alexandra sighs with sadness "I'm afraid Phillip may be too careless right now. He's been through a lot lately." Winston tells Alexandra "I understand, but he got what he deserved and we both know it." Alexandra agrees, as they head their separate ways, and turns around for a moment, before they head out.
    Back at City Hospital, Sully, Leigh, Millie, Nathan and Rose has arrived at the Chapel, as Beth glares at Rose, as Allan and Olivia welcomes everyone, and Sully and Leigh hugs Beth, as Sully cries "I was so scared Grandma." Beth assures her Granddaughter "I'll be alright sweetie. Sullivan's curse are car accidents, not a few gunshots." Sully cracks a smile, and Jared, Ciarra and Floyd arrive, as Nathan hugs his Grandfather, and Ciarra glares at Rose, and asks her in a snobby tone "What are you doing here? You should know how we feel for you." Beth tells her Aunt "Cut her a break. She did help Mama." Allan and Olivia looks at the priest, as he quips "I sense some hostility." Allan laughs "Yes there is." Olivia tells Allan "I don't know what to expect now. I thought this would be private." Cale and Allison arrives and Xavier and Bobby stands in the hall, as Tenny tells her Grandson "I got a surprise for your Mother and I think she'll accept." Xavier tells his Grandmother "I think this is a great idea." Bobby tells them "When Beth was shot, and I stayed with her the first night, when everyone was home, I knew she is the one for me." Tenny, Xavier, and Bobby walks inside, as Tenny glares at Cale and Allison with disgust in her eyes, as does Xavier, and Tenny snaps at her Granddaughter "Who told you to bring the offspring of that horny bastard that tried to kill your Aunt! Who?" Olivia steps in, and tells Tenny "She's your Granddaughter. My Daughter. And you're not going to treat her like shit." Allan tells his Mother "Cale's a good guy." Xavier is held back by Beth, Leigh, Sully, and Millie, as Beth tells her Son "She works alone." The priest yells "Can we hurry this family disagreement up?" Bobby yells "I want everyone's silence for a moment!" Everyone in the chapel, as Terrance walks inside with Sassy, and everyone inside are silent, Bobby walks towards Beth, and gets on bended knee, as he holds Beth's hand, and asks "Will you marry me Beth?" Beth looks at Bobby, as she's quiet, and starts to cry, as she hugs him, and says "Yes!"

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 301. Recovery

   It's the next day in Adam's Landing, and at City Hospital, Beth's moved into a private room, as she wakes up and sees her Mother sitting at her bedside, as Tenny looks at her Daughter, and Beth asks "Where is everyone?" Tenny replies "I ran everyone off this morning. I wanted some private time with my sweet girl." Beth looks at her Mother, and jokes "To finish the job?" Tenny sighs "I put the gun up Beth, gave it to Nathan." Beth nods, and tells her Mother "That's a smart idea." Tenny gently tells Beth "When I have to see you like this, that's enough for me to open my eyes. But if I see Frank again, I'll gladly tell Nathan to hand that gun over." Beth sighs "Just let it go Mama. I'm just thankful I'm alive, and Daddy had a message for you." Tenny is puzzled, and Beth tells her Mother J.D.'s message, and Tenny sighs "I knew he'd be pissed at me." Beth asks "Where's Xavier?" Tenny smiles "At home. Bobby's meeting with him, and I told him I'd keep you company today. That's what Mothers do." Beth smiles, as Terrance walks inside, and tells Beth "From last night to today, you've made a hell of a comeback." Beth quips "It will take more than three bullets to take me out." Terrance and Tenny laughs, as Beth tells Terrance "I'm just ready now to get out of this hospital bed, and back home."

   At Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the dining room, as Willie finishes cooking breakfast, and Winston and Jack walks inside, as Jack asks his Mother "What are you planning Mom? Ms.Evans is cooking breakfast." Ava smiles at her Son, as she calmly responds "I'm celebrating the fact you are alive. I don't believe it." Winston adds "I can't either. But the family's together again, and J.J. has his parents." Samantha walks inside, with J.J., as Victoria follows, and a few moments later, Rashad, Aretha, and Little Sidney arrives, as Ava heads to the living room to greet them, and tells Winston "You and Jack catch up. I think we have company." Ava heads into the living room, as Aretha asks Ava "So what's the big surprise? I notice something different with you." Ava looks at Aretha and Rashad, as Willie walks inside, and picks up her Great-Grandson, as Ava slowly tells Aretha and Rashad "Jack's alive. So is Samantha." Rashad's eyes widen, as does Aretha, as she looks at her Mother, and asks "I thought you and Uncle Clem were going to confront Latoya." Willie smiles, as she quips "I plan to do that later. Clem got a call this morning, so I think we're about to have Latoya covered." Rashad asks Ava "Where is he?" Ava points towards the dining room, as Rashad runs inside to see his best friend, as Ava asks "So what's Latoya doing in town?" Aretha sighs "The bitch's trying to get custody of my Grandson, and I'm not having it." Willie adds "Makes two of us." Ava tells them "Bobby returned home this morning, and he'll see to it Latoya doesn't regain custody. I'll make damn sure of it." Willie asks, changing subjects "Have you spoken to Xavier?" Ava sighs "I haven't, but Beth's awake." Willie tells Ava "Terrance's kept me up to date." The door opens, as Floyd and Ciarra walks inside, along with Bree, as she hugs her Aunt, and Ava tells everyone "Let's all go into the dining room. Everything's well for the moment, and I want to cherish it."

   Across the road at Hell Hill, Leigh walks downstairs with Gracie and Xavier Jr, as Millie and Lauren sits in the living room, as Leigh asks "Where's X?" Millie responds "He left a few minutes ago." Lauren asks "What's wrong with Xavier? He's distant." Leigh sighs, as she checks the caller ID "I know where he is. I notice Bobby has returned from Summer and Paul's Wedding." Millie asks "Isn't Summer my Cousin?" Leigh nods, and responds "Yep. But I don't think X would run out of here to visit her. He's choosy about the people he's close to." Millie tells Leigh "He hasn't even discussed Grandma." Leigh tells Millie "X and Beth are very close. He's still scared though she'll be fine. He's plotting something." Lauren asks "Killing my Dad?" Leigh quickly tells Lauren "I got everything ready, and Sully will be here with Ruthie soon. I'm heading down to Class." Millie responds "Rashad wants me to go across the street." Leigh tells Millie "I think I'll come with you. Something's going on over there. Ava hasn't been around since Beth's been in the Hospital." Lauren tells them "Jack's alive. And so is Samantha. He saved my life.." Leigh stops Lauren, and goes "What? Jack's alive?" Lauren nods, as Leigh responds with disbelief "I have to see this." Leigh and Millie heads out, as Lauren sits inside the living room, as her phone rings, and Lauren ignores the call, as it's her Mother.

    Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Xavier has arrived, and walks inside his office, where Bobby sits, with Frank sitting next to him in handcuffs, as Frank snarls "Bobby Whitten, you best hope that Xavier kills me or else I'll kill you after this is over." Xavier walks inside, as he looks at Bobby, and responds "I see you found him." Frank tells his Brother "I have a name!" Xavier sits at his desk, as he tells Frank "Well Mother's alive. Came out of her coma, and making a full recovery." Frank sighs "Thank god. I really didn't mean for her to get shot. I really didn't." Xavier tells Bobby "Go make sure Jared's here, and inform him of what's going on in case he brought Queenie with him." Bobby nods, as he walks out, and glances at Frank, as he walks out. Xavier gets up from his desk, as Frank tells his Brother "Since Beth's going to live, why don't you let me go?" Xavier looks up for a moment, and sighs "No. You tried to kill my Grandmother, and almost killed my Mother." Frank yells "It's your damn fault! You cut my sponsorship you bastard!" Xavier screams "Damn right I did, and you made the biggest mistake of your miserable life you piece of shit!" Frank starts to cry "I never wanted to hurt your Mama. I still love.." Xavier yells "Shut up! You never loved my Mother! You treated her like shit the entire time the two of you were married! I remember, I thought you were my Father, which thankfully wasn't the case!" Frank yells "I loved you like a Son!" Xavier rolls his eyes, as he laughs "You really think I'm buying this? Loved me like a Son. Let's see, you were never there. When I graduated High School you were sexing up that trashy whore Claudia, or any woman who'd give themselves to the King of Stock Cars. You never gave a shit about me. And honestly, I've waited for this day for a long damn time." Xavier walks over to his desk, as he pulls out his Colt 45, and asks his Brother "Does Cale know you're home yet?" Frank yells "No! Bobby's had me locked in a cell, and brought me here!" Xavier quips "That's loyalty there. And now it's time you pay for what you've done you bastard. No way you're getting out of this!" Xavier turns the safety off, as Frank yells "You are one evil bastard Xavier. You are worse than Daddy could ever be. You're just like Granddaddy." Xavier looks at his Brother, as he aims his Colt 45 at him, and slowly responds "I'll let you go if you leave town and never come back." Outside Xavier's office, Bobby speaks to Jared, as Jared tells Bobby, as he's filled Jared in on everything "I'm glad Ruthie's staying with Lauren today at Hell Hill." The doors open, as Cale rushes inside, and yells at Bobby "Where's my Dad?" Bobby warns Cale "I'll have you arrested if you get in the middle of what's about to go down in there." Cale yells "Well arrest me then Bobby! I've called Bree and she knows." Inside Xavier's office, Xavier walks around his desk, as he tells Frank "Really should consider what I have in mind if you want to meet your kid, and see Ginny grow up. Think about others for once in your life." Cale runs inside, and yells at Xavier "You bastard!" Frank looks at his Son, as Xavier warns his Nephew "You shouldn't have interrupted us." Cale pulls out a pistol, and warns his Uncle "If you kill my Dad, then I'll kill you." Xavier walks towards his Nephew, and tells him coldly "You are very close to making my hit list."
    At Class, Alexandra walks around the store, as she waits for Sully and Leigh to arrive, as she notices a shopper inside, and Alexandra approaches the woman, and taps her on the shoulder, as Jessica turns around and Alexandra snarls "What in the hell are you doing here?" Jessica laughs "Alexandra Boyd! So you don't have much power in Adam's Landing. Must really bruise your ideas of grandeur." Alexandra quietly warns Jessica "You have a lot of gall to come to Adam's Landing after the horrible things you've done." Jessica asks, as she goes through the dresses "So which dress should I buy Alexandra?" Alexandra yells "Get out of this damn store. I'm in charge, and I recommend Emery's for a home wrecker." Jessica sighs "Well look who's talking." Alexandra pulls her hand back, as Sully and Leigh walks inside, and asks Alexandra "What's the problem?" Jessica walks out, as Alexandra snarls "That woman's a whore. Slept with my dear Elliott." Leigh sighs "Well try to keep some composure on the sales floor." Alexandra sighs "That is hard for me when I see that tramp walking around." Sully asks "Do we need a briefing?" Alexandra walks towards her office, as Sully and Leigh follow, and Alexandra tells them "I hear Beth's doing well. Tenny told me she ran the family off." Sully responds "She's pulling through this well. And Gran wanted to be alone, and that's fine with me. Grandma wanted to have some time with her anyway." Alexandra responds "Tenny really feels bad about what happened." Sully replies "She's feeling guilty, and she's showing a side of herself I've never seen." Leigh quips "Surprises me too." Alexandra quips "She's one unpredictable woman." Meanwhile outside Class, Jessica pulls out her phone, as she calls Phillip, who's at HaleCorp "I ran into your Mother. She's still the same bitter bitch she always been." Phillip asks Jessica "Are you busy?" Jessica responds "No." Phillip tells Jessica "Come visit me in my office." Jessica asks "Wanting to catch up on last night?" Phillip responds "I think that's a great idea." Jessica tells him "On my way." Jessica heads to HaleCorp, as Phillip lights some candles inside his new office.
    Meanwhile at Tenny's Penthouse, Nathan sits in the living room with Precious, as Rose walks out of the bathroom, and tells her Husband "I'm not feeling well Nathan." Nathan looks at Rose, and asks "What did the test say?" Rose pulls out the pregnancy test, and tells Nathan "It's positive." Nathan smiles, and starts to cry, as he asks his Wife "Want to go down to City Hospital and get checked out?" Rose sighs "Not really. Beth has me blacklisted down there. And what will we do when she returns home?" Nathan tells his Wife "Well we'll have to see what happens. Gran's done told me we're not going anywhere, and Aunt Beth will have to deal with us." Rose sighs with hope in her voice "Maybe she'll soften up now since all that's happened." Nathan hugs Rose, and sighs "Maybe. But in the meantime, I'm keeping my eye out for a place of our own." Rose quips "Not a bad idea." Precious meanwhile howls, and Rose tells Nathan "Don't you have some work to do at the studio." Nathan responds "I do. I have to do the final edits on Latoya and Eve's album." Rose tells Nathan "Leave Precious and I here, and go do what you love baby." Nathan kisses Rose, and sighs "I prefer staying here with you." Rose quips "Just go." Nathan walks out, as Rose tells Precious "If I'm pregnant, don't try to attack my baby." Precious growls, and Rose sighs "That's right, soap time."
    Back at Whispering Hills, Ava, Winston, Victoria, Aretha, Rashad, Willie, Bree, Ciarra, Floyd, and Millie sits at the table in the dining room, as Jack is brought up to date on everything that's happened within the last year, and Floyd looks at his Great-Nephew, and tells him "Your Mama always spoke of you. I met you one time, but you were only a baby then. I came to see your Mama and Grandma when they were in Southpoint Beach." Jack gets emotional, as he starts to cry, as Samantha sits next to Jack, and holds his hand, as he goes "I can't believe Grandma passed away. It feels so weird not to have her here." Ava tells her Son "Mama had lung cancer, and the stubborn woman she was, kept it to herself as long as she could." Jack sighs "I seen her grave, and it's beautiful. She was buried next to where I was buried." Ava changes subjects, as she asks Jack "So since we're all here, tell me about your time away." Jack takes a deep breath, and tells his Mother, and everyone "I woke up in a hospital bed in Argentina, and this old bitch who turned out to be Angelica, told me she gave me a heart, and brainwashed me. It wasn't until Samantha arrived, that I realized what was going on. Finding out I had a Son, and wow. When Lauren was brought into the warehouse, and she knew who I was, and with Angelica in and out, we all escaped." Ava grows silent, as Winston sighs "Well with Santo dead, and all, that old bitch's likely planning something." Ava tells Winston "Well my Son's home, and so is Samantha, so as long as she stays the hell away, then I am content." Bree gets a text from Cale, and tells everyone "I have to head down to Jackson Inc. Uncle Frank's in danger." Winston sighs "Let Xavier kill that worthless bastard." Bree rolls her eyes, as Ava's silent, and Jack quips "Sounds like some things have stayed the same." Ava tells her Son "Xavier's waited for this." Ciarra meanwhile is silent, as she tells them "I bet this is why Tennessee told all of us to stay away from the Hospital. She talked to Xavier last night, and they spoke privately." Floyd tells everyone "I think I'm going with Bree." Ava hugs her Niece, and Uncle, as Bree and Floyd heads out, and Willie sighs "I hope Xavier doesn't kill Frank. It's just Frank and you left from Ruth's children Ava. Shouldn't you try to intervene?" Ava quickly responds "I'm not worried about it. Whatever Frank gets, he deserved it. Selfish bastard." Winston agrees with Ava, and Ciarra tells everyone "I'm heading down there too. I got some things to tell Frank." Ciarra excuses herself, as does Millie, and Willie rolls her eyes, as Ava tells everyone "Well I think I may just head down there myself." Winston tells Ava "You stay here Ava. I'll go instead. Spend some time with our Son. I need to check on Phillip also." Jack asks his Father "Phillip?" Winston tells his Son "Phillip's your Oldest Brother." Ava hugs Winston, as he leaves, and Ava tells Jack, Samantha, and Rashad "How about the three of you take J.J. and Little Sidney outside." Jack, Samantha, and Rashad heads outside with J.J. and Little Sidney, as Ava looks at Willie and Aretha, and tells them "Something's not right." Aretha asks Ava "What isn't right?" Victoria's also curious, as Ava tells them "Notice anything off with Jack?" Victoria responds "He looks pale." Ava tells them "I don't like what I'm feeling."
    Back at City Hospital, Terrance walks into his office, as Casey sits inside, and asks Terrance "Has Xavier the good son been here today?" Terrance responds "No. And why are you worried about it?" Casey tells Terrance "Well Frank's back in town, and Xavier wants him dead." Terrance warns Casey "Well I'm putting you on notice. Xavier owns City Hospital, and you will stay the hell away from Beth." Casey asks "Oh she's alive?" Terrance angrily asks "That didn't sound right Casey. Did you want her to die?" Casey responds "Wouldn't have bothered me." Olivia walks inside, as she overhears, and slaps Casey, as she tears into Casey, telling her "You are a poor excuse for a Doctor. When a patient is sick, regardless of how you feel about them, you don't hope they die!" Casey yells at Olivia "Well she has no trouble putting innocent people in comas and shit Olivia!" Terrance warns Casey "If you go anywhere near Beth, you will be fired, and you won't be able to ever practice medicine." Casey storms out, as Olivia glares at her, as does Terrance, as Terrance asks "Is Allan here?" Olivia nods, as she tells Terrance "Well Tenny called him, and when she calls, he runs." Terrance smiles "I think it will be good for Beth." Olivia sighs "Me too. She wants her kids together, but she and I will need to talk soon, because she's upset Ally." Terrance tells Olivia "She was scared too." Olivia tells Terrance "Tenny's hatred for Frank's growing towards my Daughter, and I don't like it."
    Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Bobby and Jared stands outside Xavier's office, as they hear the fight inside, as Xavier yells at his Nephew "Don't try to rationalize with me Cale! I am trying to save you're Daughter from losing her Grandpa." Frank yells at his Brother "You make me sick Xavier!" Xavier keeps his Colt 45 aimed at Frank, and Cale warns his Uncle "If my Dad dies you piece of shit, you die." Cale pulls out his pistol, and Xavier jumps his Nephew, and twists his wrist, and Cale screams in pain, as he screams "You son of a bitch! I have to shift with that hand!" Xavier punches Cale in the face, and yells "There's shots you can take!" Frank yells at Xavier "Just shoot me!" Xavier kicks Cale, as he gets up, and aims his Colt 45 at Frank, as Cale punches his Uncle, and Xavier grabs Cale's throat, as he slams him against the wall, and snarls "You may want to get your Wife and kid, and leave town along with your Daddy if he knows what's good for him!" Outside, Bree rushes inside, as does Millie, Ciarra, Floyd, and Winston, as Bobby warns all of them "Best thing to do is stay out of there." Jared asks his Grandfather "And why are you here?" Winston tells his Grandson "I need to tell you something." Jared and Winston heads to his office, as Bree rushes inside Xavier's office, as does Millie and Floyd, as Ciarra tells Bobby "We don't need this. Xavier needs to be focused on Beth. She's alive, and he should lay it down." Bobby sighs "If it wasn't Xavier, I'd done killed Frank for hurting the woman I love." Ciarra tells him "Well I'm not happy with Frank either, but this isn't the solution." Inside Xavier's office meanwhile, Bree, Millie, and Floyd tries to intervene, as Bree yells at her Uncle "Don't even think of killing Uncle Frank." Floyd tries to calm things down, and tells Cale "Take Frank home." Xavier shoots his Colt 45 in the air, and yells "The only place he's going is The Storm Shelter!" Floyd looks at Xavier, and tells him, as does his Daughter "This won't solve anything." Millie adds "He's my Sister's Father, and Grandma wouldn't want you to do this Dad." Xavier bluntly tells everyone "If I don't kill this bastard, I know one person who's willing." Floyd and Millie roll their eyes, as Bree and Cale gets Frank, and Cale tells his Uncle "You will leave my Dad alone, and my family. FJR doesn't need your damn money!" Xavier sighs "Take poor Frank on out of here. I just hope you're ready for what's coming." Cale ignores Xavier, as he and Bree takes Frank out of Xavier's office, and Floyd tells his Nephew "Your Mama's alive, and that's all that matters." Millie touches her Father's shoulder, as Xavier responds "She is. But Frank will never be able to live this down, and I'll make damn sure of it."
    Back at City Hospital, Beth sits up in her bed, as Tenny and Allan are inside, and Allan tells his Sister "I'm glad you're back to yourself." Beth sighs "It will be awhile, but you know me." Tenny holds Allan and Beth's hand, and tells her children "I'm glad the two of you are alive, and here. I just wanted to be with both of you and apologize." Beth sighs "Mama, everything's ok." Tenny sighs "It will be when Frank's dead and dumped in a ditch on the side of the road." Allan reminds his Mother "Well you don't have that gun now. Nathan does." Tenny smiles "I'll call that boy toy Alexandra Mitchell has living with her. He works for Xavier." Beth rolls her eyes, as she tells her Mother "Just leave it alone. It's over now!" Tenny sighs "I need a joint." Olivia walks inside meanwhile, and hugs Beth, as Olivia asks Allan "Have you told her?" Allan answers "I was waiting for you." Allan puts his arms around Olivia, as they tell Beth "We were waiting for you to wake up before we did it, and since you're awake and all.." Beth asks "What are the two of you planning?" Allan smiles, and tells his Sister "Olivia and I are tying the knot. Down in the Chapel." Beth smiles, as Sassy walks inside with a Wheelchair, and Tenny tells her Daughter "It's all coming together now."
 
   

   

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 300. The Life Of Dr.Beth Sullivan Jackson

   In City Hospital, in the ICU, as Olivia, Terrance, and Sassy tends to Beth, as her vitals drop, Beth and J.D. walks out of Beth's room, as Beth looks at her family, and J.D. tells his Daughter "I want to spend some time with you, before you make a choice." Beth and her Father arrives at the gates of Heaven, where B.R. and Ruth awaits, as Ruth and Beth embrace in a hug, and B.R. kisses Beth gently, as Ruth watches closely, and J.D. laughs "You knew they'd embrace like this." Ruth sighs "Yeah." Jacob arrives, as he greets his Niece, and Beth asks everyone "So am I dead?" B.R. tells his Widow "Not yet. If those doors open, then you're dead." Beth looks around, and tells everyone "I'm not ready yet." J.D. tells his Daughter "Not your choice." B.R. adds "Sometimes we don't have that choice. I didn't, and it looks like the same for you." Ruth shakes her head, as she tells Beth "I really hoped Frank would have grown up by now." Beth quips "Well, we know Frank." Ruth and B.R. chuckle, along with Beth, as J.D. sternly tells everyone "I have a confession to make, I don't like him, and after what he's done I won't ever view him the same way again." A mirror appears, as Beth asks her Father "What's that?" B.R., Ruth, and Jacob gathers around Beth, as J.D. puts his arms around his Daughter, as he tells Beth "Time to look back at your life Beth." The mirror lights up, as the first flashback is shown....

   In Blue Ridge, at J.D. and Tenny's Mansion at The Sullivan Estate, a young Beth plays with her Brother, as she tells Allan "Time to play Doctor." Allan rolls his eyes, as he tries to listen to the radio, as Beth turns it off, and tells her Brother "I can't have any distractions." Tenny, who walks inside with Ciarra, looks at her children, and laughs "Ok you two, dinner time." Beth whispers to Allan "I'll cut you a break this time." Allan runs into the kitchen, as Ciarra and Tenny begins to cook dinner, as Ciarra tells her Niece "I take it you won't be following me into retail." Beth smiles, and tells her family "I want to be a Doctor. That's all I dream of." Allan quips "I wish you had someone else to practice on instead of me." Tenny sighs, as she sees a cut on Allan's arm, and gently reminds Beth "Allan's not a test dummy sweet girl." Allan tells his Mother "I fell in the yard, and Big Sis got into the medicine cabinet." Tenny quips "Well your Sister has some talent." Ciarra cooks a big dinner, as Tenny tries to help her Sister, and Ciarra sighs "Tennessee, how many times to I have to tell you that you can't cook?" Tenny responds "I know how to cook Oldest Sister." Ciarra rolls her eyes, and points to the door, as Tenny asks "Running me out of my own kitchen?" Ciarra nods, and Tenny lights a cigarette, and walks out, as she mumbles "Bitch." Ciarra finishes dinner, as J.D. and Jacob walks inside, after returning from Jim's, and Tenny tells her Husband "I wish Ciarra would stay in her own damn kitchen." J.D. hugs his Wife, and laughs "I trust her more in that kitchen than you. Don't forget the last time you tried to cook dinner." Meanwhile inside the kitchen, Beth stands by her Aunt, as Ciarra looks at Beth, as she helps Ciarra, and Allan turns on the radio, and sighs "The Big Bands? This is torture." Ciarra tells her Nephew "I can't stand Rock and Roll while I'm cooking. It distracts me, and I'll cook like Tennessee." Beth snaps "Yeah Allan!"
   A few years later, Beth graduates High School and Medical School, and begins her internship at Blue Ridge Memorial Hospital, as she begins her career as a Doctor, and in the Emergency Room, an older woman, whom Beth cares for passes away. Beth cries in the lobby, as Tenny arrives, and asks her Daughter "What's wrong?" Beth looks at her Mother, as she responds in a defeated tone "Ms.Brown passed away." Tenny, who's started Sullivan's, one of the first Discount Stores, holds Beth, and gently tells her Daughter "In your profession, these kind of things will happen." Beth asks "Why couldn't I save her?" Tenny answers "You're only a Doctor." Beth sighs "A sad excuse for one." Tenny holds Beth, and tells her "Far from it my sweet Beth. You made that woman very happy. I know you went above and beyond." The Chief Of Staff arrives, as he looks at Beth, and tells her "Dr.Sullivan, here's a letter from Ms.Brown's family." Beth reads the letter, as does Tenny, as the Chief Of Staff tells Beth "They were very pleased with your care. She loved you, and wanted you to have this." He hands Beth a bracelet, and Beth declines, and says "I don't deserve anything." Tenny whispers "Take it." Beth reluctantly accepts, and the Chief Of Staff tells Beth "I talked to City Hospital and they want to hire you." Beth goes "Really?" Tenny asks "Where's City Hospital?" The Chief Of Staff answers "Adam's Landing. It's a nice place, and the only town in the Southeast that isn't having the race riots. B.R. Jackson took care of that." Beth looks at her Mother, as the COS tells Beth "They want an answer tonight. You will go far there I think." Beth responds "I'll take it." Later in the day, Beth returns home, as J.D., Tenny, Allan sits in the dining room, as Ciarra and Jacob arrives with their newborn Daughter Lily, as J.D. asks Beth "So you're moving down to Adam's Landing?" Beth nods, as J.D. voices some disdain, as he tells his Daughter "I've heard about that town, and I'm not comfortable with letting you go down there." Beth tells her Father "I am 21 Daddy." J.D. answers "And you are my Daughter, and I know how things are run in that town. It's known for Moonshine, and I want you to stay here." Allan tells his Sister "Go for it. I'm moving out as soon as school's out." J.D. turns to his Son, and asks "And where are you going?" Allan yells "Hollywood! The boys and I got an audition coming up for American Records." J.D. rolls his eyes, as he tells his Son "I'm not impressed, and I forbid it." Allan yells at his Father "I will do as I please Daddy!" J.D. looks at Allan, and sternly tells him "If you do it, then don't come back when you fail." Tenny looks at her Husband, and scolds him, telling J.D. "He will always have a home to return to!" J.D. looks at his Wife, as Ciarra looks at her Husband, and tells Jacob "I think we need to head back next door."
Ciarra, Jacob, and Lily leaves, and Tenny tells Beth and Allan "James and I need to talk." Beth and Allan walks out, as Beth whispers to her Brother "Mama called Daddy James." Allan sighs "You know what that means Big Sis." Beth nods, as Tenny and J.D. argue in the kitchen, and Beth calls Blue Ridge Memorial Hospital, as she accepts the job at City Hospital, and a few weeks afterward, Beth moves to the Southeastern town of Adam's Landing.
    A year later, Beth has moved to Adam's Landing, where she works as one of the leading Doctors at City Hospital, and has earned a name for herself, as she learns the medical profession through and through, and her name grows throughout the medical world. At City Hospital, Beth walks into the ER, as she's been paged to check on a patient, and the nurse tells Beth "He's hot. He's in here often." Beth walks inside the triage, as Frank Jackson, a young race car driver has had an accident, and his eyes meets with Beth's, as Beth asks Frank "So why are you here?" Frank sighs "Flipped the Mustang, but I'm fine." Beth checks Frank out, as she asks him "Well it's a wonder you're not injured." Frank laughs "Ok I lied. I came to see you." Beth goes "Me?" Frank tells Beth "I've seen you around." Beth tells Frank "I'm not looking for a relationship. I'm going back to Blue Ridge soon." Frank looks around, and whispers "Let me change your mind. Let's have dinner at Johnson's Drive In." Beth takes a deep breath, and tells him "Oh what the hell." Beth discharges Frank, and he struts out, as Beth watches on. Later in the evening, Beth and Frank sits inside his Mustang, as they have their first date, and Beth asks Frank "So you're a stock car driver?" Frank nods, and tells Beth "I just won Rookie Of The Year, and Davis Lane is sponsoring me." Beth asks "Doesn't he own the Department Store in town?" Frank nods, and asks Beth "Where are you from? Are you related to the Sullivans that own the Discount Store?" Beth responds "I am. My Mama and Aunt started it a few years ago. They've been very successful." Frank sits back, as Beth opens up, and Frank listens, as he has a crush on Dr.Beth Sullivan. Later in the evening, Frank takes Beth to her Apartment, and Frank walks Beth to the door, and Frank asks Beth "Like to continue inside?" Beth declines, and tells Frank "This is only our first date." Frank quips "First of many I hope?" Beth tells him "Maybe." Beth walks inside, and smiles, as Frank sits inside his Mustang, and says to himself "That's the first time I've ever been turned away. I got a fight on my hands." Frank speeds away, as he and Beth have fallen for each other.
   A few weeks later, Beth and Frank grow closer, as Beth arrives at The Jackson Estate, also known as Hell Hill, where B.R. and Ruth Jackson resides with their 3 younger children, Ava, Jamie, and Brock Jr. Beth knocks on the door, as Ruth answers, and asks Beth "So you're Frank's newest fling?" Beth responds "Fling? We're dating." Ruth welcomes Beth inside, and tells her to sit down, as Beth sits inside the living room, and Ruth asks Beth "So you work at City Hospital? Nurse?" Beth tells Ruth "Doctor." Ruth lights a cigarette, and tells Beth "Well, that's a step up. I just hope you know what you're in for with Frank. He's wild." Beth laughs "I can see that." Ruth looks at Beth, and asks "So Frank told me you didn't give in to him?" Beth tells Ruth "I'm waiting for marriage." Ruth is pleased, as she tells Beth "I think you will be good for Frank. He needs a girl to keep him grounded." Ava, Jamie, and Brock Jr returns home, as Ava yells at her Sister and Brother "Both of you just shut the hell up! Damn I can't wait to get away from the two of you!" Ruth tells Beth "Make yourself comfortable." Ruth turns her attention to Jamie and Brock Jr, as she yells at her children "How many times do I have to tell you not to bother Ava?" Jamie snaps "Well she started.." Ruth points to the door, as Ava asks her Mother "Can Aunt Mary just pick the two of them up from school from now on?" Ruth tells her Oldest Daughter "Yes she can. I know they are driving you crazy." Meanwhile Beth walks around the house, in awe, as Ruth walks inside the kitchen, and tells Beth "I apologize for Jamie and Junior. Those two can drive you crazy." Beth quips "I can see."
   Later in the evening, B.R. returns home, as The Jackson Family gathers around the table, as B.R. looks at Beth, and eyes her, as Ruth glares at her Husband, as does Frank, as he tells his Parents "I got something to announce." B.R. responds "Leaving The Stock Car League Frank?" Frank sighs with disgust "No! Beth and I are getting married." Ruth beams with joy, as B.R. asks Beth "Why are you marrying this piece of shit?" Ruth yells at her Husband "Brock I've had enough of this now!" Frank yells at his Father "Just because I don't want to be a part of Jackson Inc makes me a piece of shit? I am doing the same thing you did." B.R. yells "I was loyal to my family!" Ruth yells at B.R. "Ava's asleep, as are Jamie and Junior! And you did the same damn thing. The two of you are too much a damn like." Beth meanwhile rolls her eyes, as Frank whispers to his Fiancee "This is common. Daddy and I don't like each other." B.R. yells "Damn right I don't like you boy." Ruth tells Beth and Frank "The two of you go somewhere." Beth and Frank walks out, as Ruth tears into her Husband, and walks over and snarls "You're damn lucky he even wants a thing to do with you Brock! You pull the stops. Beth's a good girl, and I won't hear this shit!" B.R. responds "She's too good for our Son!" Ruth slaps B.R. and reminds him "I can take that damn company and you know I will. I'm starting to consider it." B.R. yells in defeat "Call the damn church and put all the expenses on me! Damn Ruth you always win!" Ruth tells her Husband "Damn right I do, and you best don't forget what I'm capable of. Remember that whore?" B.R. walks out with his head down, as Ruth walks into the living room, and tells her Son and future Daughter In Law "Everything is taken care of." In a few weeks, Beth and Frank marry, and Beth becomes pregnant, but loses her Daughter in a miscarriage, as Beth and Frank's marriage is turbulent, and Frank meets another woman, named Claudia Stone, who works for Frank's team, and becomes his mistress.
   Five years later, Beth and Frank lives at The Farm, as Frank quickly makes a name for himself in the racing world, and Beth returns from City Hospital, as she too has quickly made a name for herself as well, as she's the first Female Chief Of Staff, amid protests that are quickly cooled by Beth's Father In Law. Beth walks inside the house, as Ruth sits inside, with a buzz, as Beth asks her Mother In Law "What's wrong Ruth?" Ruth asks her Daughter In Law "Do you know where Frank is?" Beth responds "He's in Southpoint Beach getting ready for the race." Ruth pulls a photo out of her purse, and tells her Daughter In Law "People in the racing world calls this whore Mrs.Frank Jackson." Beth's eyes widen, as Ruth tells her "Her name is Claudia. Want to go beat her ass?" Beth is angered, and tells Ruth "I know about her." Ruth asks "And you haven't stood up for your marriage? Come on! I can arrange a flight to Southpoint Beach. Let's whoop her ass Beth!" Beth sighs "Not worth it." Ruth sighs "Well Brock isn't happy, and I'm not happy." Beth sighs "Nor is my Mama and Daddy. Mama hates him." Ruth quips "I'm not too fond of your Mother. She's snooty." Beth tells Ruth "She has her moments." Ruth looks at Beth, and tells her "When Frank returns, you at least tear into him." Beth nods "Oh yes I will." Ruth hugs Beth, and reminds her "If you need me, you call me." Beth nods, as Ruth leaves, and Beth sits in the living room, as her heart breaks over Frank's infidelity. A few days later, Frank returns home from Southpoint Beach, as he won his 10th race, and Frank tells his Wife "I won the 500!" Beth gets up, as she puts out a joint she smokes on, as Frank asks his Wife "Why are you smoking pot?" Beth snaps "You son of a bitch." Frank rolls his eyes, as he sighs "Mama told you." Beth slaps Frank, and yells "I warned you Frank." Frank yells "You should quit your damn job, and tend to your Husband!" Beth yells "I'm not a damn housewife Frank! I run a Hospital, and I make my own money. And I make a hell of a lot more than you!" Frank yells "Ok then. I see how it's going to be." Frank storms out, as Beth rolls her eyes, and leaves a few moments later. At Jackson Inc, Beth arrives, where B.R. sits inside his office, and B.R. asks his Daughter In Law "Ruth told you didn't she?" Beth yells "He picked this kind of shit up from you!" B.R. sighs "I made my mistakes, but I can't explain my Son." Beth starts to cry, as she yells "I don't know what to do." B.R. walks up to Beth and holds her, as he consoles his Daughter In Law, and assures her "You are now a part of my family Beth, and we protect our own." Beth thanks B.R., and he responds with a kiss, which Beth steps back, as she tells him "No. I can't do this." B.R. whispers "Don't worry about Ruth." B.R. gently takes off Beth's clothes as they have sex in a room at Jackson Inc, unknown to them, Ruth arrives, and hears them, and opens the door, as she freezes, as B.R. and Beth turn around, and Ruth screams "Oh no. Hell no Brock. Beth!" Beth cries "I'm sorry.." Ruth slaps Beth, and yells "Get out!" Beth puts her clothes on and leaves, as Ruth yells at her Husband "I just knew you wanted to sleep with her." B.R. yells "Frank should be more attentive to his Wife!" Ruth yells "He learned from you, and you need to stay here tonight if you want to live!" Ruth storms out, as B.R. shakes his head with regret, and says to himself "I just screwed everything up."
   A few weeks later, Beth arrives at Hell Hill, where Jamie answers the door, as Ava has moved to Blue Ridge to intern at Sullivan's, and Jamie and Brock Jr are in High School, and Jamie yells "The whore's here Mama." Ruth walks out of the kitchen, and tells her children "Leave us alone. GO!" Jamie sneers at Beth "I hope Mama kills you." Jamie and Brock Jr leave, and Ruth asks Beth "What in the hell are you doing here?" Beth takes a deep breath, and tells Ruth "I'm pregnant, and I am so sorry for betraying you." Ruth looks at Beth, as she has a look of dread in her eyes, and tells her Daughter In Law "It's Brock's isn't it?" Beth nods, and asks Ruth for forgiveness, which Ruth walks over and hugs Beth, and says gently "Brock has his ways. Frank's the same way. You don't say a word to Frank about you and Brock. I'll treat this child like my Grandchild." Beth thanks Ruth, and heads out. A few hours later, Ruth arrives at B.R.'s office at Jackson Inc, where B.R. sits inside his office, and Ruth tells her Husband "Well you went and did it." B.R. asks "What did I do Ruth?" Ruth responds "Beth's pregnant, and we both know who's the Father." B.R. rolls his eyes, and Ruth tells her Husband "Frank's not to know. Hopefully he will be there for Beth and leave that whore alone!" B.R. agrees and Ruth warns B.R. "I won't deal with much more." B.R. vows to Ruth "I will never make that mistake again." Ruth reminds her Husband "This is the second child you've had outside of our Marriage, and you best not make a third!" B.R. promises Ruth "I won't." Later in the day, Beth sits inside the living room at The Farm, as Frank walks in, and Beth tells her Husband "I'm pregnant." Frank responds "Good." Beth tells Frank "I want you to stop racing so you can be here for our child." Frank boldly tells his Wife "I'll never stop racing Beth! So forget that thought!" Beth yells "That's right. You couldn't be with Claudia!" Frank yells "At least she supports me!" Beth yells back "Fine! Let that bitch support you! I'm done!" Beth packs her things and leaves, as she returns to Blue Ridge, where she tells her parents of the pregnancy, which neither J.D. or Tenny are pleased about, but supports their Daughter, and a few weeks later, after a call from both B.R. and Ruth, Beth returns to Adam's Landing, and 8 months later, Beth gives birth to her only child, a Son, named Xavier David Jackson.
   As Xavier grows up at The Farm, and Beth does her best to keep her Marriage together with Frank, who's always on the road, as he's now a legend in The Stock Car League, Xavier grows a disdain for who he believes is his Father, and grows close to B.R. and Ruth, who keeps their eyes on him, and B.R. becomes a second Father to Xavier, and Ruth loves him as one of her own. At Jackson Inc, B.R. sits inside his office, as he's on the phone with Tenny, as he tells Beth's Mother "I got some news." Tenny, in her office at Sullivan's Headquarters, asks B.R. "Has my Daughter finally seen the light and decided to divorce Frank?" B.R. sighs "Claudia is pregnant. Frank told me about it." Tenny sighs "Shit. And how are we going to keep this from Beth?" At The Inn, in Adam's Landing, Ruth arrives, as she finishes babysitting Jamie's Daughter Bree, and Brock Jr's Oldest Son Andy, and sees Claudia, and Ruth sits next to Claudia, as she asks Ruth "And why are you here? Did you hear the good news?" Ruth orders a glass of bourbon, and asks Claudia "What good news? You having my Grandchild? Oh yes whore I heard it!" Claudia asks "Well are you going to congratulate me?" Ruth slaps Claudia, and snarls "No I'm not! I hate you, and if Beth finds out about this, and she divorces Frank, I will kill you whore." Claudia snaps "I'm not scared of you!" Ruth snaps back "Well you should be!" Claudia looks at Ruth, and walks out. A week later, Claudia arrives at Frank's office at his new race team, Frank Jackson Racing, also known as FJR, as she hears B.R.'s voice, and another voice inside Frank's office, and Claudia walks inside, as Tenny yells "Ok whore!" Claudia beams "Tenny Sullivan! I shop at your store all the time!" Tenny attacks Claudia, as Frank yells, and B.R. warns his Son "You will give this child away. Or I'll destroy your career." Tenny adds "Frank, I despise you. You are nothing but a horny bastard that doesn't know how to take care of his Wife and Son. You make me sick, and when Xavier calls me and I ask how the two of you are, my body fills with more anger and hatred towards you." Frank yells at his Father and Mother In Law "Stay the hell out of my business. This is what I want!" B.R. picks up the phone, and asks Frank "Now should I call your Mama? She and Tenny will gladly get rid of this whore." Frank yells "We'll deal with it!" Tenny warns Claudia "Bitch, Sullivan's don't need your money. You are cheaper than my moonlight madness sales." Tenny and B.R. walks out, and Claudia tells Frank "Ruth knows, and she wants me dead." When Frank and Claudia's Son, Cale Stone is born, Claudia gives the baby to her Sister, Connie, as Frank and Claudia are warned by B.R., Tenny, Ruth, and J.D. of the consequences if they kept the child.
   When Xavier turns 18, and graduates High School at the top of his class, he moves to Blue Ridge after his first love, Desi Lane leaves town pregnant. Ava has moved back to Adam's Landing, and her marriage to Russell Marx is threatened by her Sister Jamie, who has eyes for him, which turns ugly, as Jamie and Brock Jr hires Aaron Pittman to seduce her, which turns into rape, in return tearing The Jackson Family apart in many ways. Ruth leaves Adam's Landing with Ava, as she also files for Divorce from B.R., as B.R. pays the ALPD an undisclosed amount of cash to cover it up. As for Beth and Frank's Marriage, division fills their union, as Beth sides with B.R., as he tries to run Jamie out of town, but to no avail, as Frank stands up for his Sister, and at Hell Hill, Frank storms inside, as B.R. asks his Son "What in the hell are you doing here?" Frank punches his Father in the face, and yells "You need to leave Jamie alone! I mean it you cold bastard!" B.R. backs up, and glares at his Son, as he warns Frank "I've lost enough, and you defend your whoring Sister and leave me the hell alone!" Frank beats his Father, as Beth walks inside, and shoots her pistol in the air and yells at her Husband "Frank Jackson, you are really a piece of shit. Hell you don't surprise me at all anymore." Frank yells at his Wife "Well what's keeping you here Beth?" Beth looks at her Husband, as B.R. gets up, and wipes the blood from his face, and Beth tells Frank "Xavier's in Blue Ridge, Ruth's gone, and you're still bedding Claudia. I resigned today from City Hospital." B.R. is stunned, as Frank asks "So are you divorcing me Beth?" Beth tells Frank "We've been married for 22 years, and you never loved me, you loved Claudia. She's yours now." Beth walks out, and heads to The Farm, where she packs up her belongings, and leaves Adam's Landing to return to her hometown of Blue Ridge. For the next 18 years, Beth tries the retail business, as she helps her Mother and Aunt with Sullivan's, which is falling due to competition from Wallace's, and Ciarra's Daughter Lily stealing from the company.
    As Beth lives in Blue Ridge, she lives with Tenny and J.D. at The Sullivan Estate, as her Father passes away a few years after her return due to cancer, and Tenny leaves the United States and moves to Monaco, as Sullivan's is sold, and Beth returns to work as Chief Of Staff at a new Hospital in Blue Ridge, Park Lane Hospital, and spends her spare time with Xavier, as he marries Leigh Woods Jackson, and has a Daughter, Sullivan Leigh Jackson, and Leigh is thought to be dead after being shot on a Paris runway a few years after Sully's birth. Beth takes care of Xavier and Sully, becoming a Mother figure to Sully, as she also works daily at Park Lane, as Xavier's in charge of Jim's, and focuses on the business, and his Daughter. Beth also keeps in touch with B.R., as his children, and grandchildren shun him, and one day at Jim's Corporate Headquarters, Xavier sits inside his office, as B.R. walks inside and Xavier hugs his Grandfather, as B.R. quips "It looks like you are holding well Son." Xavier sighs "It's all I have besides Princess." B.R. tells Xavier "You have more than I do. I have Jackson Inc, and an empty home." Xavier tells his Grandfather "Mother's at The Estate. She'd love to see you. Sully's about to head to college soon in Valley Ridge. She'd really love to see you." B.R. asks Xavier "Do you hate me?" Xavier is puzzled, and asks his Grandfather "Why would I hate you Papaw? You've been there for me my entire life. You've always watched over me and Mother, and Sully loves you." B.R. smiles, and tells his Grandson "I love you Son." Xavier responds "I love you too Papaw." At The Sullivan Estate, Beth, Ciarra, and Jacob plan a going away party for Sully, as she has graduated High School, and prepares to head to college. B.R. walks inside, and Beth hugs her former Father In Law, as B.R. tells Beth "You haven't aged a bit." Beth quips "Now stop that. How's things back at Hell Hill?" Ciarra and Jacob also welcome B.R., as he tells Beth "It's lonely, and I need something." Beth asks "What is it?" B.R. tells Beth "Surgery. My heart's failing me." Beth looks at B.R., and tells him "I'll take care of you. Don't worry about a thing. Do you want me to call the family." B.R. sighs "They'd be happy if I was dead. I've tried to make peace, but it hasn't worked. Frank's still with the whore, and Jamie and her brats live at the cottage. As for Junior, he's a pain in the ass along with his two Sons." Beth asks "Ever hear from Ava?" B.R. tells Beth "We made peace, and she's well, with a Son, around Sully's age. She's also married, but he's as old as I am." Beth sighs "Well at least she's taken care of." B.R. nods, as Sully walks inside, and yells "Grandpa!" B.R. hugs his Granddaughter tightly, and goes "Wow if you look like your Mama!" Sully quips "Well thank you kind sir." B.R. pulls something out of his coat, and tells Sully "Open it." Sully opens the envelope, to find a check for $1,000,000 dollars, and Sully asks "What's this for?" B.R. tells Sully with a smile on his face "Whatever you want my sweet." Sully tells her Grandfather "I'll save it for something special." As everyone celebrates Sully's entrance into Valley Ridge University as Xavier arrives, and joins in.    The next day, Beth, Xavier, and B.R. sits inside Park Lane Hospital, as Beth prepares to perform open heart surgery on B.R., and Xavier asks his Mother "Will he make it?" B.R., also scared, looks at Beth, as she tells them "I'm doing the operation, and I'll care for him afterwards here in Blue Ridge." Beth performs B.R.'s operation, and saves him, and for the next few months, B.R. stays at The Sullivan Estate, as Beth leaves her job at Park Lane Hospital to take care of her Former Father In Law. One day, as Beth returns from Jim's, with dinner from the deli, B.R. looks at Beth, and Beth asks B.R. "What's wrong? Is it your heart?" B.R. starts to cry, as he tells Beth "I don't know what to say. I really don't know." Beth asks "Are you trying to say thank you? Because you don't have to do that." B.R. looks at Beth, and tells her "You have done a great job taking care of me, and Ruth sends her thank yous as well." Beth is humbled, and tells her Former Father In Law "You have always had my back, and you have been there for Xavier, and Sully, and you always have us B.R." B.R. looks at Beth, and pulls a ring out of his pocket, as he tells Beth "If I asked you to be my Wife, would you do it?" Beth is quiet, and B.R. tells her "I just don't want to be alone in my last days. I want to leave Adam's Landing, and move here, where people love me. I am selling everything in Adam's Landing, it's not home anymore." Beth tells him "I don't know." B.R. tells Beth "Xavier won't have a problem. I just spoke to him earlier." Beth sighs "I guess I will then." B.R. tells Beth "I know you understand me, and I want to get married soon, and at Hell Hill. Then you can return here, and I'll get everything ready."
Beth asks B.R. "So is it time to tell Xavier?" B.R. looks at Beth, and responds "Yes it is. He is my Son, and I have willed everything to him. Let's get married first, and once I return, we will tell him." Beth and B.R. heads to Adam's Landing, where they have a private wedding, as Floyd, B.R.'s twin Brother comes to town and is witness, as Beth and B.R. exchange vows, and Beth hugs her Husband, and laughs "I'll head back to Blue Ridge and get things ready." Floyd congratulates them, as he tells his Brother "I am proud you're finally moving on." B.R. looks at Floyd, and smiles "I am too Floyd." Beth returns to Blue Ridge a few days later, as she prepares to tell Xavier about B.R. being his Father, as B.R. begins to make plans to sell Hell Hill, and give Jackson Inc to Xavier, before he is murdered by Brock Jr.
    In Heaven, Beth watches the mirror, as it turns to City Hospital, and Xavier cries in his Mother's office, as he holds his Mother's picture to his chest. In the ICU, Leigh, Sully, Jared, Tenny, Ciarra, Floyd, Allan all hold each other closely, as Terrance, Olivia, and Sassy tries to revive Beth, and Olivia yells "She's fading!" Back in Heaven, B.R., Ruth, J.D., and Jacob looks at Beth, as J.D. tells his Daughter "The doors aren't opening, so it's not time yet." Beth tells everyone "My family needs me." Ruth looks at Beth, and hugs her, as she tells Beth "You keep my family together Beth. You are the matriarch, and we're not ready for you yet." J.D. hugs his Daughter, and tells Beth "Keep an eye on your Mama, and give her a message from me." J.D. whispers something in Beth's ear, and Beth tells her Father "I will do that Daddy." Jacob tells his Niece "Tell Ma I said to slow down some. Floyd needs her." Beth hugs her Uncle, and agrees, and B.R. walks over, as he kisses Beth, and tells her "You have a long life ahead of you. Just remember to keep the family together, and all of us are always watching over you, and all of the family." Beth disappears, as B.R. Ruth, J.D., and Jacob returns into heaven, as Beth re-enters her Body, as her vitals begin to pick up, and Beth opens her eyes, as she sees Xavier sitting next to her, holding her hand, and Beth smiles, as she grabs tightly to Xavier's hand, and in a weak voice, tells her Son "I'm going nowhere my sweet boy."

                      

Dedicated in Loving Memory to my Mother and Inspiration for the Character of Dr. Beth Sullivan Jackson, who will forever live throughout Daylight And Darkness, and within my heart, and soul for the rest of my life, Sarah Beth Ellis, January 22, 1950-March 20, 2015.
