Daylight And Darkness: Episode 315. "The Reboot Part 3. Conclusion and The New Era

      Day turns into evening in Adam's Landing, and at The Sunset Club, Ava, Winston, Jack, and Samantha have dinner, as they discuss the visit to their new mansion in Bannister Hills. Ava congratulates her Son and Daughter In Law, as Winston is quiet and looks dazed. Jack holds his Wife's hand tightly under the table, as Samantha tightly holds on as well, as Winston asks "Who are we toasting? Is Chant dead?" Ava nods, and says "Yes Winston. Chant is dead. Now drink." Winston starts to laugh to himself, as Ava looks at Jack and Samantha and goes "I think J.J. will like the new place. We do." At Jazz, Allison sits at the bar, as Olivia arrives, and hugs her Daughter, and asks "Ally, where's your Dad?" Allison goes "He went to the airport with Aunt Beth to meet Gran and I'm sitting here..." Olivia asks "Marriage trouble with Cale? Have you found out anything new?" Allison shakes her head. At The Farm, Rashad walks back to his car, as inside, Frank and Erica has sex in his bedroom. Meanwhile the back door opens, and Alyssa walks inside, hearing noise, and motions to the other person "It'll be ok. Thank you. Just go home and we'll talk more." Cale turns around, as he asks "Why is Erica here?" Alyssa quips to her Brother "Whoring through the family Cale. Like a plague Dad is addicted to." Cale nods, and leaves, with doubt in his eyes.

    At Sully and Jared's Mansion, Sully and Jared arrive home, as Jared asks his Wife "Where's Ruthie? Teaching her your work ethic? Turning her into another warped mind in your deranged family?" Sully warns her Husband "I know all I need about your new partner in HaleCorp, and connected everything. Now has Daddy?" Jared asks with a smirk "He was showing a felon around the property today. Gave him free room and board. He's plotting Sully. He wants you to run Jackson Inc.." Sully warns her Husband "What happens at Jackson Inc does not concern you. Let me make that clear. Also let me make known that you and Clint Landon better not be making any deals because I will have Daddy helping me, among others." Sully walks upstairs, as Jared looks up and has a thought, and sends a text. 

   At Hell Hill, Xavier storms in, as Leigh yells "You are a bastard X! Calling a roadblock, then suddenly you appear.." Xavier tells his Wife "I was following you. I want to know where Brock is. I'm kicking his ass. Why were you helping him? He's disgracing the family!" Leigh yells "He's your namesake! My Son!" I also think he's in trouble.." Xavier walks to the study, and goes "He said he didn't need me. Let him figure his own way out of the shit. He's gonna learn. Believe me he will learn." Leigh rolls her eyes, as she gets a text from their Daughter, and Brock's twin, Gracie, leaving a smile on Leigh's face, and looks towards the study. In the study, Xavier sits down, as he turns on his computer, and reads intently, as he goes "He is playing a dangerous game. His ass will pay if this hurts anyone in this family. That's a promise." In LaFayette, Brock sits in a motel room in LaFayette playing a message from Rachel, as she says "I have to go back to Adam's Landing urgently. I will be in touch loverboy." Brock lays on the bed, and takes a deep breath of dread, with worry on his face.

    Meanwhile, at The Gossiper, Jamie sits at her desk, as another person stands over, as they go "Everything is in motion. The boss is on their way to town. I would suggest being cautious." Jamie asks "Are you threating me? I own DuBois Publishing and I have paid for my debts! Damnit I am free now to destroy Xavier, Beth, and my Daddy's prized possession and rebuild it into mine forever!" The person takes a deep breath, and sighs "Well remember the man that you got this from was murdered. Also you are not free yet or never. You knew." The person walks out, as Jamie takes a deep breath, and sighs with anger "Angelica is an old woman who has lost her power. Well she's about to lose it. To me." Jamie makes a phone call." At Bree's Mansion, Bree texts her Sister, and says "Night, and cut Mom off. I have and felt great." Bree looks at her "nieces", as Ginny and Alyssa sits in her living room, as they talk and Alyssa warns her Cousin she considers an Aunt, as does Ginny "I'm not watching Erica destroy my Dad and take all he's earned!

    Ava and Winston has returned to Whispering Hills, as Winston smiles "What a wonderful day!" Ava tells her Husband "It certainly was for our family." Winston goes "I never believed Chant would amount to anything, but here he is with a Wife..." Ava grows frustrated and yells "Damnit Chant is dead Winston! That was your adopted Son and Granddaughter!" Winston grows upset, and walks into his study, as Ava pours a drink, and says to herself "Damn you Wade!" At HaleCorp, Jared arrives, as Clint meets with him, and goes "So you like to work late too?" Jared goes "Anything to be away from my Wife, heiress to Jackson Inc." Clint advises "Don't let her get away. That could hurt us." Jared snaps "My private life and this is different! So watch your mouth Clint!" Clint tells Jared "Well Jared, we are taking this for ourselves. You and I both have something to prove." Clint's phone rings, and goes "Time to go meet up with a friend, and well." Clint leaves, as Jared looks around, and takes a deep breath, returning to his and Sully's Mansion for the night.

   Meanwhile at Sully and Jared's Mansion, Xavier sits on the back porch, as Sully and her Father talk, and Xavier boldly assures her Daughter "Jared and the new guy won't be a problem. And you are capable of running him into a homeless camp somewhere with all you know Princess." Sully sighs with sadness "He asked where Ruthie was tonight. I didn't answer him. He's not who I married." Xavier sighs "I think you have a problem to solve. I can help..." Sully reminds him "Daddy, I know how you work. And Jared Hale is married to your Daughter. I'm capable of handling his shit, and finishing it." Xavier smiles, as he says "Leigh has went to bed for the night, and she's pissed, but she'll get over it." Sully goes "Brock?" Xavier nods, and says "He's on his way home I last heard. He's being tracked. He's getting it when his ass does come home!" Sully gets a text, and says "Well Jared's almost back. We got a lot to plan." Xavier hugs his Daughter, and tells her "I love you Princess." Sully tells her Father "I love you too." Xavier leaves, as Sully calls Ruthie, as she gets a text saying "At Gram's." Sully takes a deep breath, and anger grows in her eyes as she prepares to call it a night, sleeping in a separate bed than her Husband.

    At The Evans Home, Rashad walks in, as Aretha greets her Son with a hug, and says "Mama went to bed for the night but told me." Rashad gets emotional, and goes "Mom, I miss who I was." Aretha goes "Baby boy, you still are. You had an injury and it left a lifetime mark you are doing well with. Working at the hospital and helping others similar.." Rashad is silent, as he tries not to cry, and goes "I need help I think." Aretha wraps her arms around her Son, and goes "Rashad, you just need reassurance you are ok. And you are." At The Farm, Erica is in the bathroom, as Frank prepares to pour them a drink before calling it a night as he finds a letter from Alyssa. Frank takes a deep breath, and looks towards the bathroom. At Bree's Mansion, Bree sits in the living room, as Alyssa's went to bed and Bree is silent, and says to herself "Uncle Frank, you are making a terrible mistake." Back at Cale and Allison's Mansion, Allison returns, as Cale and Ginny are in the living room, and goes "Grandma's back. A warning." Ginny tells her parents "I think enough is enough now. What's going on because I have had enough!" Ginny gets emotional, and heads to her room for the night, as Cale tells his Wife "See! Ginny can't handle this so I have my reason to tell Dad to find a new driver and leave FJR. For you my love." Allison eyes Cale, and slowly hugs him, and asks "Serious?" Cale, with anger in his eyes as he has a flashback before Allison kisses him, says "Yes." They head to their bedroom.

    At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth walks inside, as Ruthie sits on the couch and smokes a blunt, as Beth asks her Great-Granddaughter "Sully and Jared again?" Ruthie nods, as Beth goes "Roll two more." Tenny walks inside, as Allan and Olivia follow and Ruthie hugs her Great-Great Grandmother, as Tenny goes "I didn't know you smoke Sully?" Beth snaps "Stop it Mama!" Tenny goes "I'm kidding you old woman. You are a bitch Beth." Allan and Olivia, and Ruthie chuckle, as Beth asks "Now that Aunt Ciarra's passed I guess I'll be Mama's new punching bag." Tenny tells her Daughter "No, you're my sweet Beth... but you can be a bitch." Beth snides sarcastically "I learned from you." Tenny yawns, and goes "The Queen needs her sleep." Tenny heads off to her bedroom, as Beth, Allan, Olivia, and Ruthie are silent, and Allan and Olivia both tell Beth "Something isn't right. Mama didn't even wait for Ruthie to finish." Beth agrees, and says "And knowing her, it'll stay that way. She's certainly lost and will need our protection and support. She is already getting snappy, next she grows cold." Allan and Olivia leave, as Beth hugs them, and they head home, and Beth looks at Ruthie, and says "Well we'll just sit out here and share our stories. Sorry about home Queenie." Ruthie sits next to her Great-Grandmother, as Beth holds her close, and lights up, and says "We'll fix that. We're about to fix a lot of things." Meanwhile someone arrives, and check into The Sunset Club. At Jamie's Mansion, Jamie stands by her bed, as she gets a phone call. The person tells her "Tomorrow will change your life."

   

    

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 314. The Reboot, Part 2

     As the day passes, at Jazz, Xavier walks inside, where his Mother sits at the bar, and greets her Son with a hug, as Xavier asks her "How is Grandma holding up?" Beth points to her phone, and says "She's not answering her phone. Floyd's not answering his phone either." Xavier asks "Want me to call the guards up there?" Beth takes a deep breath, and goes "Baby, let's wait until tomorrow. Mama and Floyd's giving Aunt Ciarra what she wanted." In Blue Ridge, someone walks around the grounds of The Sullivan Estate, as they stop at Ciarra Sullivan's grave, and looks at it, and is silent. Inside Tenny and J.D.'s former estate, Tenny is silent, as she goes "I don't believe this." She sits up, as she goes "I don't believe this.", as a man wakes up next to her in Tenny and J.D.'s bedroom, and Tenny gasps "I'm naked.." Floyd and Tenny both look at each other, and goes "This stays between us." 

   At Jackson Inc, Sully returns, where her Aunt awaits her, and Sully asks "What did you learn?" Ava sits down at her Niece's desk, and goes "Wade sold his part in HaleCorp." Sully gasps, and asks "To?" Ava answers "Clint Landon. He's interesting and his background, and your Father's are similar." Sully rolls her eyes and sighs "Shit! Jared's been talking to him. He left a few weeks back and met him at Southpoint Beach." Ava asks her Niece "Jared's got a lot of his sperm donor in his veins sadly.." Sully interrupts "I know and so does the world thanks to Jamie!" Ava finishes "Do you think Jared's about to pull a fast one? I am warning you now, he does not need to mess with me." Sully goes "Shouldn't you let his Grandfather handle the situation?" Ava takes a deep breath, and goes "Sully, Winston is at an age he doesn't need to know the one Grandson he trusts is a failure. He still hasn't grasped Wade's shit yet." Sully asks her Aunt "And what else are you hiding? Jack is very quiet also about him, and Daddy." Ava goes "Another day." They hug, and Ava leaves, and Sully sits in her office, and gets a text, and replies "Tell me all you know."

    Meanwhile at The Exposer, Aretha Evans sits inside her office, as her Mother arrives and says "I told Clem to follow Tenny. He also just sent me a text you might want to see baby." Aretha looks, and gasps with disbelief. Aretha goes "And if Jamie finds out, this will be a war to end all of them in this town." Willie sighs "Well there's more also!" Willie fills her Daughter in, as Aretha tells her Mother "That is weird. But all these years nothing surprises me anymore." Willie changes subjects, and asks "Heard from Little Sidney?" Aretha laughs "Mama, he prefers Sidney." Willie quips "I don't care! My Great-Grandson. And how is he enjoying Valley Ridge?" Aretha sighs "He keeps talking about coming back to race cars. I warned him.." Willie gets emotional, as she says with fear "Rashad's crash almost killed him. We're lucky he lived.." Aretha sighs "It really affected him." At City Hospital, Craig sits in the lounge, and tells Dr. Kyle Webb "The old guard is getting out. Except the money. We can run the Evans out of this place. Terrance thinks he's a king.." Rashad walks inside and asks "And what more shit do you wanna say about my Uncle? Hey say something about me? I dare you.." Craig laughs "Former race car driver who's a head case, helping head cases." Kyle tells Rashad "You aren't us. You don't know anything about being a doctor. Your name is what got you hired.." Rashad rushes him, and angrily snaps "The hell you just say son of a bitch?" Sassy walks past, and runs in to break it up, as she tells Rashad "Go take a break." Rashad storms out, and Sassy warns Craig and Kyle "Do not let me see that again, and hope to God Beth doesn't." Craig laughs "Who are you to tell us what to do nurse?" Sassy smiles, and quips "I just know more than you. And keep this up, and you'll know too. Have a good day assholes." Sassy walks out, as Craig and Kyle look at each other, each plotting.

   At Jamie's Mansion, formerly home to Desi Lane, Jamie and Summer are inside the living room, as they drink wine and laugh, as Jamie tells her Daughter "My Mother dying, and now all of this is what I need to exact the perfect revenge after all these years!" Summer quips "I love sticking it to some, but it is still bothering me. I wish I could be close to Tenny.." Jamie goes "Shit, she hates us. But... like I said, she does not know what I know." Jamie hands a tablet over to her Daughter, as Summer gasps, and puts her glass down and says "Mom, I got to go home and cook dinner for Paul. He's been working very hard down at the ALPD. Gotta call my boys too." Jamie asks "So are you in or out?" Summer stands at the door, as she walks out, and takes a look up, as she heads to her home. Jamie meanwhile walks around the living room, as she calls Rachel, and Rachel, sitting in the hotel room in LaFayette dressed, as Brock is in the shower tells her "I'm about to return. Can't wait." Rachel hangs up, as Jamie smiles. At the Holiday Hotel, Brock, now dressed, walks out, and says "We're set now." Rachel goes "Exactly. We are set."

   Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Xavier returns, as someone follows him and goes "So what is it I'm supposed to do? And I gotta say, I'd enjoy a night with Millie Paige.." Xavier turns, and coldly warns his new "security", Storm Smallwood "Don't let me hear you say that shit again or I'll send your ass to Unity. You aren't in your little town on the river anymore. You are in Adam's Landing, and I am the one in this town you don't ever want to piss off." Storm takes a deep breath, and asks "So what is in this for me then? I know I owe you and Bobby Whitten.." Xavier says "You do. Wasn't for us, you wouldn't be free. But you are ruthless and I like that. You and I have some things in common." Storm laughs "I really messed up the woman I should call Mom, over my Dad. You mentioned something to me about your Dad, uh Frank.." Xavier goes, as they walk into his study "No Frank I thought was my Dad until my real Father died. In my heart though, I knew. Difference between us, I can be cordial with my Brother, because I know he isn't my Dad. I was so relieved knowing that." Storm is quiet, as Xavier pulls out some moonshine and says "Welcome to work Storm. My family gets the best." Storm looks at the jar, and Xavier says "You're alright." Storm smiles.

    At Jazz, Erica Lane arrives at the bar, and orders a drink from the bartender. Beth turns, as she asks "So what's your preference whore?" Erica gasps "Dr. Jackson? You're not the bartender here." Beth smiles "I know. Matt got a little payoff from me. He told me what I needed to know. You are above The Inn, and really don't have a clue do you?" Erica goes "Exactly what are you talking about Dr. Jackson? I am not Casey Ryan.." Beth bluntly goes "Well you're screwing my Ex-Husband. And his bank account too. Erica's eyes turn red as she looks at Beth, as she pulls out a statement, and Erica snarls "That little bitch of a Daughter.." Beth snaps "Watch your damn mouth about Alyssa! You are not ruining her life by destroying her Father's life. I am not going to allow it." Erica yells "And you are not married to Frank you old bitch!" Allan walks out of his office, and quickly tells Erica "Get out of here." Allan pulls his Sister to the side, and warns "I know how you are. And don't turn into Mama. Now come with me and I will teach you how to.." Beth rolls her eyes, as she lovingly calls him "Asshole." Allan quips back "Big Sis, you are older than me. You start acting like our Mama, I'm telling Xavier!" They share a laugh, a brief distraction. In Blue Ridge, the car arrives, as the driver puts Tenny's luggage into the back. Tenny looks at Floyd, and tells her Brother In Law "Sayyid is here, and will drive you back in my car. I'm taking the jet. Let's just say its for the best." Floyd nods in agreement, as they share a hug, and Tenny gets in the car, and shuts the door, and cries "I hope you forgive me up there baby Sister." Back at The Sullivan Estate, Sayyid pulls up, and Floyd looks at him, and asks "Willie?" Sayyid nods, as they also leave. Someone appears once they leave, and sends a text.

     At HaleCorp, Jared sits inside his office, as his secretary walks in and says "Clint is here." Jared tells her "Send him in." Clint walks inside carrying a briefcase and hands it to Jared and says "Open it." Jared walks to his desk and does as he goes "What is this for?" Clint sits, and looks around and goes "Jared, I want Winston's percentage, and you and I will be set. Xavier will not sleep again." Jared is silent. At Whispering Hills, Jack and Samantha sits in the living room as Winston asks his Step-Son and Granddaughter "So moving next to Summer?" Jack sighs "No Dad! Bree! Next to Mom's old Mansion. We're going to stay here until it's built. I am calling Uncle Floyd when he's feeling at himself again to help." Samantha tells her Grandfather "When Ava comes home, we'll go look at where we're planning to build." Winston snaps "She has me locked in this damn house!" Jack takes a deep breath and walks outside, and Samantha sits down next to Winston, grabs his hand, as Winston tears up, and cries "What's really going on?" Samantha hugs him, as Jack stands outside with anger in his eyes.

    At Hell Hill, Storm walks out, as Leigh glares at him, and Xavier looks at his Wife and asks "Sudden break?" Leigh asks her Husband "Same to you X. Why are you home?" Xavier pulls out his phone, and asks Leigh "What are you hiding from me?" Leigh is silent, as she goes "Brock's having trouble and he needs our.." Xavier yells "You are his enabler Leigh. Storm Smallwood I wish was my Son than that.." Leigh angrily slaps him, and snarls "Xavier Jackson I can't believe you.." Xavier goes "I know he quit college. But is he homeless?" Leigh shrugs, as Xavier snaps "You don't know. Well shit, he may be on drugs. And here you are helping the piece of shit." Leigh walks to the door, and warns "X, we are not going to have this fight." Leigh returns to Class, as Xavier stands in front of his study, and sends a text.

   Back at Jackson Inc, Jack walks inside Sully's office, as she goes "Thank you. I saved it to show Daddy when I leave." Jack is silent, as Sully asks "What's wrong Jack? What's up with Winston?" Jack looks at Sully, and says "If anything happened to him, my Mother will lose it." Sully yells "Well what is it?!!" Jack looks down, and tells her as Sully is quiet, and goes "Oh no! I am here." Sully and Jack hugs, as Jack goes "I hope Mom doesn't take on more than she can." At Chantel's, Ava sits at the bar, as she watches her phone and she tells the bartender "I want a strong drink." Ava glares at the phone as her eyes turn red. At Jazz, Beth sits inside Allan's office, as they discuss Erica, and Allan takes a toke from a joint, and goes "Just do as I advise when it comes to Erica Lane. Olivia has a soft spot for her. For why, I don't know. Guess we both have a lot of our Mama in us." Beth takes a hit, and laughs "Guess we do." They receive a text from Tenny, and they get up, heads to Adam's Landing International Airport.

    Back at City Hospital, Willie arrives, as she visits with her Son and Grandson inside Terrance's office, as they discuss the new staff and earlier. Willie warns them "Terrance I warned you. Rashad's injury..." Rashad snaps "Enough with the accident. I know I should be thankful, but I feel incomplete, and I know who just to talk to. Not you Grandma!" Willie gently says "Go visit Frank, he'll help you." Rashad walks out, as Terrance goes "Williams and Webb's going to tempt Beth out of retirement Mama." Willie assures her Son "They don't wanna mess with Beth. That's a fact!" At Jamie's Mansion, Jamie hangs up the phone and paces the floor, and has a thought. She leaves, headed to her office at The Gossiper. At Paul and Summer's home, located in town, Paul asks his Wife "What is your Mother planning? I swear I am over this shit!" Summer walks out of the kitchen, and assures her Husband "So am I Paul. I left her with it. With my Sons growing up. Time for me to do the same." Paul nods in agreement. At Hell Hell, Xavier sits in his study, as he hangs up the phone, and calls Storm, who sits in the Storm Shelter, and smokes a joint, as he asks "Checked out your place?" Storm quips "I love this storm shelter. Just perfect to exact revenge." Xavier laughs "Good to hear you are getting comfortable." Meanwhile at Class, Leigh and Ruthie sits inside Leigh's office, as Ruthie smiles "Marco Cavetti's coming back!" Leigh gasps happily "Yes! Someone who'll back me, and likely side with X on your Uncle." Leigh gets a text from Brock, and then sends him money, and finds her account blocked." Leigh's eyes turn red, as she checks her GPS, and says "LaFayette", and storms out, as Ruthie rolls her eyes, and makes a phone call.

    

     

    

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 313, "The Reboot" Part 1.

    It's been a long time since we've last visited Adam's Landing and the families and lives of its people. In 2014, things exploded, and left lasting impacts on many of our characters. As time has passed, children grow, some pass on, and things have changed since our last episode of Daylight And Darkness. The series since were "dreams", but now we go back to the end of the show all of you knew and loved so much as did I in creating and writing this great serial, ladies and gentlemen, Daylight And Darkness: The Reboot!

     Over five years have passed since last visiting Adam's Landing, and so much has changed and evolved among Adam's Landing's citizens and at Hell Hill, Xavier sits inside his study, as Leigh walks inside, and tells her Husband "I have had some wild dreams again X. I'm getting worried." Xavier quips "Try some of mine." Leigh takes a deep breath, as Xavier gets a text, and Leigh asks her Husband "Everything ok?" Xavier nods and says "Yes my love. It's time." Leigh sighs "X are you sure about this? Can you really step away from Jackson Inc because all you've done in your life is work." Xavier tells his Wife "Our kids are grown, and time to pass the batons." Leigh walks out of the study, as she has a thought, and goes "You're lying to yourself X. And there's more to this."

     At Tenny's Penthouse, where Beth now lives with her Mother, Beth walks into the kitchen, and drinks a cup of coffee, as she opens a pouch, and is silent for a moment, and sends a text, and the front door's unlocked, as Allen, Olivia, and their Granddaughter, and newest doctor at City Hospital, Ginny Stone walk inside and Allen asks his Sister "Has Mama called you yet? Her phone is going to voicemail." Ginny sighs "When it happened, she seemed dead inside afterwards. Like a zombie." Beth tells them "Mama's not good with this sort of thing. But she's honoring her wishes. It's the after effect I'm most worried about." Olivia reminisces "When she and I went on that road trip to L.A., and she drove.." Allen tells his Wife "Olivia, she flew on Xavier's jet this time." Beth tells her Brother and Sister In Law "If she doesn't return by tomorrow, we're going to Blue Ridge."

     At Whispering Hills, Ava, Winston, Jack and Samantha, who's now his Wife sits in the kitchen, as they have breakfast and Jack tells his Mother "J.J. is doing great in Unity." Ava sighs "I can't believe he's grown." Winston meanwhile asks his Granddaughter "Have you spoken to your Mom lately?" Samantha nods, and says "She's in Sugar Creek, but steering clear of she who shall not be named." Ava quips "I'd love to think Angelica's kicked the bucket, but likely somewhere.." Winston finishes "plotting." Jack goes "I know Wade still keeps in touch with her. And his Wife, well she's her new Mother.." Ava quips "That whore's flock fits her perfectly. Jamie, Angelica the evil bitch of South America, and Casey Ryan, who Beth made disappear." Winston changes subjects, as he asks Jack "So what's the game plan at Jackson Inc with Xavier's plans?" Ava tells her Husband "Winston you know already. And you need to go handle your bastard Grandson and get control on HaleCorp, or let Sam." Samantha gasps "Me?" Ava asks "Wouldn't you like to have something to do now that J.J.'s moved? You helped me in the past and were quite a pro." Samantha tells her Mother In Law "Let Jack and I consider it. Time for us to leave anyway. We're going to check the progress on our estate over in Bannister Hills." Ava hugs her Son and Daughter In Law, as they leave, and Winston looks around, as Ava tells him "Guess now we need to get moving ourselves." Winston goes "Go where?" Ava glares at him and sighs "Hell who knows Winston."

    At Sully and Jared's Mansion, built next door to Hell Hill, Ruthie, now an adult walks into the kitchen, as Sully and Jared read their Son, Cain's report from boarding school with dismay. Ruthie asks her Mother "What has Grandpa got in mind?" Jared sighs "He's going to test this marriage." Sully snaps at her Husband "I think we had that talk Jared! If Daddy is stepping down, I will step up so to speak. It's the worst kept secret thanks to Mom." Ruthie tells them "I'm helping Grandma with Class, and her friend's moving back." Jared gets a text, and snarls with disgust "Oh shit. Wade did it. Son of a bitch!" Sully asks "Jared what's wrong?" Jared walks out, as Ruthie looks at her Mother, and asks "Are the two of you having problems?" Sully looks at her Daughter, and grabs the keys, as she checks her phone and goes "Ruthie, I don't have an answer for you sweetheart. For your Dad, he will always be conflicted sadly. And my Daddy doesn't forgive, and sure as hell doesn't forget. You and Cain are the reason Jared Hale walks alive." Ruthie quips "Grandpa has that reputation." Sully laughs, as they hug "Sweetie, we all do in a way."

    Meanwhile at the headquarters of The Gossiper, rival to The Exposer, Jamie is inside her office, as her assistant walks in and tells her "Your Daughters are here Ms. Marx." Bree and Summer walk inside, as Jamie tells them "Now that my biological Mother is dead.." Bree sighs "You're scheming aren't you? I hoped my talk with Uncle Frank might've worked." Summer tells her Sister "She was close to me. And she and you were close Bree. I think we deserve something." Jamie, in a cunning tone says "Girls we all do. Walter's attorney is coming to town to help me fight that old bitch and Beth and the rest of them." Bree boldly goes "Oh no Mother! I am not about to get into a war with Aunt Beth and Allan. With Tenny likely going to you know who..." Summer laughs "Xavier's not worried about..." Jamie smiles "I know all about little Junior quitting college and living abroad. I just haven't shared it yet." Bree warns her Mother and Sister "Just know if the two of you want to go to battle over Grandma Ciarra's estate to leave me out of it and know I'm not cutting either of you a damn break if I meet you in court." Bree walks out, as Jamie tells her Daughter "Summer, she doesn't know what I know." Summer sits and sighs "It is sad the two of you never grew close." Jamie laughs "Well it doesn't matter now. I'm getting what I deserve from the old bitch, and Tenny Sullivan if her mind still works will not test it." Summer walks out, as she works with her Mother, and Rachel Lane. Jamie makes a phone call, and goes to voicemail, which she hangs up and sends a text.

      At The Farm, Frank, and his Daughter with Casey Ryan, who disappeared from Adam's Landing after their Daughter, Alyssa's birth sits with her Father as she goes "I hate this bitch you are seeing. Want me to tell Aunt Beth?" Frank tells Alyssa "Cale doesn't need to know either. I know you've noticed things been rough lately between him and Allison." Alyssa gets a text, and heads out as she tells her Father "Seriously consider enjoying a life without commitment." Frank asks "When did you turn into such an adult?" Alyssa quips "Graduating high school, and working with Sully down at Class." Frank is quiet, as he has a thought and leaves. Meanwhile at FJR, Cale is in his office, as he talks to his Wife, and Allison warns her Husband "You're working too much." Cale snaps "Damnit I've had enough, now I have things to do for next season!" Cale hangs up as someone sits inside his office and goes "So when are we going back to our Suite?" Cale snaps "You being here is bad enough. If Dad shows up, god knows what he might do."

    Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Xavier arrives in his office, and notices a message, and rage fills his eyes, as Jack arrives and asks "Another of Jamie's minions calling about Brock?" Xavier nods, and says "I am trying my best to keep this from Leigh. She sees him as her Little X. I don't want what happened years ago to happen again." Jack tells his Uncle "If she's smart she'll keep her mouth shut." Jack walks out, as Xavier makes a phone call, to no answer and says "I am about to come find you and fix this and you will see what I truly am capable you spoiled son of a..", and hangs up, and gets up to pour a drink with anger in his eyes. At Class, Sully, Leigh, and Ruthie sits inside, as Leigh tells them "Alyssa told me of Frank's new woman. Isn't there an Erica Lane related to Rachel if I recall?" Sully tells them "Yes, it was Desi and Olivia's Brother's Daughter. He died from cancer years ago. Desi was still in charge." Ruthie asks her Mother and Grandmother, as Leigh gets a text from Xavier Jr, and replies "Send you some later son." Sully notices and bluntly goes "Mom are you giving Brock money? Daddy will royally go batshit! Daddy told me of college.." Leigh sighs "Not today Sully. He's my Son." Sully asks "And do you go this far out for Gracie? She's in college." Leigh snaps "X favors the two of you and Millie wherever she is! Brock has me, Beth, Tenny, and did have a bond with Ciarra.." Ruthie cries "I'll miss Aunt Ciarra. How's Gran?" Sully answers "No answers since going to Blue Ridge to honor her wishes. Uncle Floyd was injured and in a Lexington Hospital. He's stable still thankfully." In a Holiday Hotel in LaFayette, Xavier Jackson Jr, who goes by Brock, walks the floor, as Rachel lays on the bed, and assures him "Your secret is safe. Think Xavier Senior will allow this to hit the media platforms and newspapers?" Brock turns, and tells her "He never has looked at me like I'm good enough. But I sincerely hope you're not playing me for Jamie's vendetta against my family. Gram. Gran, and my poor Aunt Ciarra plus some have been through too damn much! But..." Brock drops his pants, as Rachel jumps and wraps her legs around him, as they have sex.

     At HaleCorp, Ava arrives, as Jared asks "Where the hell is Grandfather?" Ava answers "The Sunset Club Jared. I got the message. He doesn't need to know and best you don't know anything but that I'm speaking for him." Jared smirks "You and my Father In Law must think a merger's about to return again." Well that's not happening. You and the almighty Xavier can kiss that goodbye!" Ava sits in Jared's chair in his office, and asks "So tell me who is this man they call Clint." Jared paces, as he says "He worked in the past for Wallace's, and Sullivan's when he started out. Cutthroat like Grandfather. Speaking of him, why are you really here?" Ava snaps "Wade Isaac Hale! He has hurt Winston. He feels betrayed Jared. Is it in your blood to do that. I know Summer never commits. I know Winston has put me through hell, but he's.. well let's say he is retired and best left like that for all of us. I'm protecting him!" Jared asks "Want to meet Clint?" Ava orders "I am going down to The Sunset Club now Jared, but you fill me in. Expect it to be by call. I hate texting. Bobby's runoff with Russell is over now and welp!" Ava leaves, as Jared is silent, and gets on his computer, and types 'Clint Landon', as his eyes widen.

    At City Hospital, Beth walks inside, as she's greeted by Terrance, Rashad, who has retired from racing to follow his medical career as, a surgeon and also sports medicine. Terrance is now CEO, as Beth owns the hospital and its Chairman. Beth asks "Where is Sassy?" Terrance tells them "Dr. Williams has caused much drama on his wing. Her first challenge as head of nursing. Got a feeling a lawyer will be needed, and know one." Beth tells her longtime friend "Call him then. Craig Williams won't ruin my hospital because.." Rashad quips "You own it." Beth nods, as she gets a text, and heads off, as Dr. Craig Williams appears, and says "I used my hiring power, and hired this Dr. Kyle Webb. He doesn't prefer it, but he and I are very close. If a Uncle and Nephew can work here, with another who doesn't need it, and another who owns it.." Rashad warns Craig "Beth has never liked your type. Don't be surprised if you have to go find a new hospital." Craig warns "It's only begun." as he walks off, and the others look at themselves with dread.

    Back at Jackson Inc, Xavier hangs up the phone, as he yells "Damnit!" Xavier gets a text from Bobby, and takes a deep breath. At Class, Leigh sits in her office, as she privately speaks to Brock, and tells her Son "You need to come home Son. I miss my baby." Brock, sitting naked in a hotel suite, with Rachel next to him, says "I will when I'm ready. Dad did the same. So did you." Brock hangs up, as Leigh wires him a large sum of money, In Sully's office, Ruthie and Alyssa talk, as Ruthie suggests "Time to get Ginny and have girl's lunch somewhere." Alyssa agrees, as Ruthie calls Ginny, as she answers at her station at City Hospital, and tells her Cousin and best friend "It's a mad house here right now. I'll take a rain check." Ginny hangs up, as Craig touches her face, and says "Good. Continue to be the good young doctor and see where it gets you. And this never happened." Craig leaves, as Ginny shivers, feeling violated and scared. At Chantel's, Sully walks in, as Jamie and Summer greet her, and Sully warns her Aunt and Cousin "I am only here for business." Jamie tells her Niece "So are we, and here you are. How's Auntie Tenny?" Sully snarls "You two never gave a damn about Aunt Ciarra, and look at you.." Summer goes "Sully, you know damn well we grew close, unlike she and my Mom." Jamie quips "Well now back to my life, and how to spin this." Sully warns them "Mess with my Gran, or Uncle Floyd, and it will be the worst experience you've ever seen you two selfish bitches." Sully heads to her table, as Summer looks at her Mother, and Jamie silently looks at her Daughter, as they return to The Gossiper's Headquarters. As they walk out, Jamie gets a text, and replies "Perfect."
