Daylight And Darkness: Episode 334. The Double Power Play: Part 3, Conclusions?

     Evening arrives in Adam's Landing, and at Sully's Mansion, Sully and Ruthie greets her, as Sully goes "I need to.." Beth says "Yes!" Leigh walks inside, along with Marco, as she goes "We were drawing late." Sully sighs "Ahh. I'm going to take that up now I'm free! Where's Daddy?" Beth and Leigh goes "With him, who knows." Beth meanwhile gets a text, and looks on as Tenny and Floyd arrive, as Floyd goes "What's up!" Tenny laughs "He's high everyone." Everyone laughs, as Bree and Summer arrive, and Ruthie and Sully stands outside together, as she asks her Mother "How are you Mom? You seem TOO happy?" Sully tells her Daughter "Sweetie, it's called peace and free from years of unhappiness." Ruthie and Sully hugs. Inside, Beth tells her Mother "I need you to know something." Tenny asks "What?" Beth tells her Mother, as Tenny goes "That's why my favorite grandchild isn't here? Why are Jamie's whores here?" Floyd and Beth, along with the others turn towards her, as she says "I think it was the shine, or the liquor." Floyd laughs "She doesn't know." Leigh meanwhile texts her Husband, to no answer, and heads to their home to check on him.

    At Whispering Hills, Jack and Ava has dinner, and Ava tells her Son "Wade and I will keep HaleCorp alive for years to come. I know what your Father wanted. I am very impressed with him." The doorbell rings, and Ava gets up and opens to find Bridget, as she walks inside, and snaps "So the curse lives on?" Ava goes sarcastically "Welcome back bitch." Jack warns "Mom.." Bridget snarls "I never liked this town, and I hate you. That's facts Ava." Jack gets up and yells "Nobody talks to my Mama like that Bridget Walsh. We have enough problems! Maybe send Connor back for a spine to save my damn Wife from crazy shit like today!" Ava adds "Wade is my Grandson now. But the rest of you, will have to deserve it! The door is open." Bridget storms out, as Ava tells her Son "There went my appetite." Jack gets up, and asks "She still never forgave you did she?" Ava goes "Her problem Son. Not mine." At Wade and Bridget's Penthouse, Wade is alone, as Diego sends him a text, and Wade pours himself a drink and says to himself "Not tonight Bridget. I told you not to." 

    At The Mathis Compound, Eve sits alone, as she says to herself "I wanna see my man, but can't because I'm a legend you know." Henry tells his "Mother" with a laugh "Well that's alright. I'll tell them. Gotta do closing hour." Eve hugs him, as he leaves and Eve says to herself "I know where I am going to go." At Jazz, Brock serves his now Former Brother In Law, and Clint drinks, as Jared laughs mockingly "Looks like the Almighty X already showed you his real feelings. Working here at a waiter." Brock goes "Tab's cut, get out." Clint goes "I am still working my first pitcher." Brock motions, as Sayyid walks over and goes "So how do you wanna do this?" In River's office, River gets a text from his Mother and calls her, as Eve turns onto the road and says "I am paying Rachel a visit." River warns her "Mom, this is not ending well. Once Henry gets here, Brock is heading there. It's gonna blow up in your face!" Eve snaps "I have had enough of Rachel hurting my family and everybody else I love!" Eve hangs up, and glances at her pistol. Back at Jazz, Jared snaps at Sayyid "So still work for ol X?" Sayyid grabs him and goes "I don't work for nobody! Out you go!" Sayyid also grabs Clint, and says "I called Thorpe. Consider this a gift Jared. I'm sure your friend Xavier will be calling soon." 

    At The Sunset Club, Xavier walks to a suite, and gets a keycard, and yells as he walks inside "Show your new face!" The woman walks out, and Xavier gasps "What in the hell are you doing here?" The woman goes "I have no explanations to owe you. And I do not fear you. Mama's boy." Xavier laughs, walking around the suite "So you appear to be staying, got a photo here." The woman goes "I deserve to know my family!" Xavier yells back angrily "No the hell, you do NOT!" The woman yells "I wish she'd stayed dead!" At Hell Hill, Leigh yells for her Husband, as she notices a file, but says to herself "Maybe he's at the office. He'll show up to the party when he's ready. Back at The Sunset Club, Xavier adds "If you think for a damn minute you will know any, ANY member of MY family, my wife, children, grandchildren. You wasted your time. I know you are well off with that facelift, so gaslighting?" The woman picks up the phone, as she gets a call, and Xavier warns "If I see you, or hear of you again, you will meet your worst nightmare you horrible bitch!" Xavier walks out, as the woman pulls open a photo album.

     Back at Sully's Mansion, Beth and Tenny sits on the back porch, as they both smoke joints, and Beth hangs up with Allan, and goes "Now I know what you know Mama!" Tenny smiles, and says "This is so much fun. I cannot wait to see how my Grandson handles Jared. Maybe a bullet or two?" Beth smiles "He is Ruthie's Dad though Mama.." Tenny takes a toke, and says "She is. She doesn't deserve that though given what he is." Beth adds "Xavier has always been one step ahead, and will do the same with Jared." The subject changes as Tenny asks "Did you say earlier what I thought? Bree and Summer took Floyd back home I think." Beth nods, and says "Yes, and let me handle this. Remember what they said?" Tenny nods, and reminds her Daughter "I know I am an old woman, but my memory and heart is still strong. Never forget my sweet Beth." Beth and Tenny hugs. Inside, Sully, Ruthie, and Leigh are surprised as Ava and Jack arrive, and Ava goes "Sorry we were late but Bridget strikes literally, again." Sully quips "I already paid her a visit." Leigh assures her "Bridget will learn her lesson in this town. Sure the hell isn't what she expects." Jack asks "Where's Uncle Xavier?" Everyone shrugs, as Ava reminds him "He's likely somewhere plotting." At The Sunset Club, Xavier sees Jared and Clint, both drunk, as he walks up, and says "I heard it's done, and no worries from you in my company." Jared warns his now-former Father In Law "Oh the almighty one, Landon-Hale is going to kick your ass in all directions. And you were a terrible Father to Sully, worse to my Son.." Clint backs up, as Xavier pulls out his Colt 45, and coldly warns Jared and Clint "I have not had a good evening, and I do feel like giving a couple wake up calls." Xavier puts his gun up, and grabs Jared forcefully, and warns "Ever talk to me about my Princess, I won't give a shit what anyone thinks of your future of misery! I will destroy both of you, and she learned from me!" Xavier walks out, and Jared and Clint look at each other, as Xavier returns home for the night.

     In Southpoint Beach meanwhile, Allan and Frank sits inside Frank's Condo at Southpoint Speedway, as Allan tells him "I've been tough on you. I know we did not raise them." Frank goes "But apparently I did one, and now eloped with my new driver!" Allan tells Frank "Cale needs to learn a lesson." Frank nods in agreement, as he says "He does drive for Thorpe." At Allan and Olivia's Loft, overlooking the beachfront of Southpoint Beach, Olivia and Allison unpack, as Allison asks "Can I stay awhile? I need to figure out what to do. I am really surprised!" Tears roll down her eyes, as Olivia hugs her Daughter, and assures her "I'm going nowhere Ally. I'm here my baby." Olivia holds her tightly, and whispers "Go rest." Allison calls it  a night, and Olivia sends Allan a text, and lights a joint.

    At The Mathis Compound, Eve storms back inside, with Sayyid and River following, as Eve yells "Ok River Mathis? Do you still have feelings for Rachel?" Sayyid snarls "Woman you need to chill out!" River snaps back "My Son Mom. His best friend is engaged to Rachel Lane, and we cannot do anything about it." Eve heads upstairs, and tells her Husband and Son "Well I can control it, and watch me!" as she calls it a night, and Sayyid tells his Son "I'll keep her at bay." Sayyid and River hug, as River says "Thank you Dad." At Rachel's Loft, Brock comes inside, and finds Rachel in bed, looking at her phone, and Brock asks "What's going on? You seem to be troubled?" Rachel motions for him, as he lays next to her, and says "I am quitting DuBois, and going to help your Sister. I am just in a place I am scared to be and would rather not talk about it Brock." Brock gives her a kiss, as Rachel sighs "Not tonight." Rachel puts her phone away, and turns out the light, as Brock strokes his FiancĂ©'s hair. 

   At Hell Hill, Xavier walks out of the study, as Leigh returns and goes "Where have you been?" Xavier tells his Wife "I had some things to do. I also don't care for huge parties." Leigh looks at her Husband, and says "I know something you like." Xavier smiles, as he says "Where at?" Leigh undresses inside the study, as they embrace and make love. At Sully's Mansion, Ruthie and Sully clean up, as everyone has left, and Ruthie asks her Mother "Need me to stay tonight?" Sully tells her Daughter "Why ask? This is your home.. Queenie." Ruthie hugs Sully, as she tells her "I know this is going to be difficult for you, and Cain with what's about to go down, but know who loves you, and nobody crosses a Jackson!" They hold each other tightly, Sully kissing her Daughter on the forehead, as Ruthie sheds a tear. At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth and Tenny prepare to call it a night, as Beth tells her Mother "We need to avoid not slipping up to anyone." Tenny assures her Daughter "This is not to be taken lightly. I remember everything and we'll have her side!" Beth heads to her bedroom, and says "I love you Mama. You are the best." Tenny quips "I know, and I love you my sweet girl." Tenny sits back, and has a flashback of her own, and says  "Messed up when you spoke to me and J.D. that time." Tenny sends a text, and calls it a night. At The Sunset Club, Jared hangs up with Clint, as Clint has went home, and Jared says to himself, thinking of his life with Sully "You changed. And I vow to protect Ruthie and Cain from your Father.", taking another drink. In another room, the woman lays in bed, and says "Thank you for everything. You are a true gentleman." Thorpe asks "Another round before calling it a night?" They begin to have sex, as he dims the lights.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 333. The Double Power Play, Part 2

     At The Sunset Club, the press starts to gather, and chaos ensues. Inside, Russell and Summer sit at a table, as Russell tells his Daughter "We should have met someplace else. But.." Summer tells her Father "I hope what you did was sincere and not to score brownie points with Uncle Xavier from your re-election." Russell tells her "If I lose, then I'm traveling, and spending time with my Grandsons. I know for certain you are safe. Paul is a fine man, and I have not spoke to your Aunt, but after seeing Xavier, I know you are now ok." Summer says to him "Thank you Dad. It took me a long time to see what my Mom was, and really too giving..." Paul sighs "Summer, she is a great actress. You are the best thing I ever got from her, but let's enjoy ourselves. I have to go back to the Capitol today." In the Jackson Room, the press sets up, as Berry sips wine, and smokes a cigar, as Aretha sits next to her, and goes "I hope you're ready because I know something's going to blow." Berry quips "Landon's about to pull something."

    At Hell Hill, Xavier, Country, and Brock sit in Xavier's study, as Brock goes "Did Sully tell you about Rachel and I getting her approval." Xavier nods, and says "I approve also, but don't tell that to your Mother." Brock is taken aback, as Country, in a drunken tone yells "I'll be damn! Are you getting soft X?" Xavier looks at his Son, and his best friend, and says "Rachel can help us with what that bastard has in mind." Brock tells them "Jared tried to get me to come onto his side." Xavier motions to Country for the moonshine, and red comes into his eyes, as he says "I sure hope you did not accept his offer." Brock yells "Hell no! I want to prove myself to you, and Mom, really you Dad." Country gets a text, and says "I need to head out." Country walks off, as Xavier looks at his Son, and says "You are maturing very quickly. That's enough for me to give Rachel a chance. Here Son, have a drink with me and let's catch up." Brock goes "I need to head down to Jazz to work. I'm slinging drinks." Xavier smiles, and goes "I love you Son." He gets up, as they embrace in a hug, and Brock walks out, as Xavier gets a text, and heads out.

    At Jackson Inc, Sully and Bree arrive, as Jack and Ava greets them and Ava hugs her Nieces, and tells Sully "Free at last!" Sully takes a deep breath, and sighs "Marriage wise, yes. But we need to be.." Jack tells his Cousin "Already on it." They walk into Jack's office, as they turn on the TV, and Bree tells them, getting a text "I need to go meet Bobby. Another problem solved thanks to Uncle Xavier." Ava smiles "It will be so warm to my heart to know that selfish bitch is going to rot under the Unity Prison." Bree sighs "I would like to think she will change, but has proven otherwise." Ava assures her "Bree, you're smart and intelligent. We know that's never going to happen." Sully tells her Cousin "Bree, you've been awesome! I'm going to celebrate tonight at my place. A family dinner and maybe a bonfire." Bree smiles, and says "See you then." Bree walks out, and yells "Someone is here!" Rachel walks inside, and Ava's eyes turn red, as Sully warns her Aunt and Cousin, as Jack's eyes widen "Don't start no shit!" Ava and Jack are quiet, as Rachel tells them "I have an announcement. I'm leaving The Gossiper, and DuBois Publishing." Ava warns her "I sure as hell hope you're not thinking of coming here since you are shacking up with Brock." Sully asks Rachel "I have a question. What if I hire you on here?" Ava's jaw drops, as does Jack's, as they ask Sully "Are you ok?" Sully smiles "I'm developing a new media division for Jackson Inc. Rachel would be excellent." Ava and Jack are quiet, as Jack says "I don't like it, but better for us." Ava asks Rachel "So have you truly changed?" Rachel tells them "I have. I made many mistakes, but wish to redeem myself." Sully assures them "She's sincere. Daddy even approves of her." Ava warns Rachel, pulling out her lighter "One time you screw up, your ass will be mine!" Ava walks out, and yells "Don't try to seduce my Son!" Rachel asks Sully and Jack "Are you serious Sully?" Sully nods, and says "We own the Adam's Landing Journal, and with what's coming, you'd be a valuable asset." Rachel accepts, and says "To new beginnings." Sully adds "Come over tonight and just ignore Mom, and Grandma. I'll make sure you have help." Rachel heads to the door, and says "Let me break this to Doris. She won't take it well, but I like her better than her Daughter and the other bitches down there." Rachel walks out, as Jack looks at Sully, and she goes "I have it under control."

    At Class, Leigh returns, as Ruthie greets her Grandmother, and goes "So Mom and Dad are done?" Leigh nods, and says "They are, and your Grandpa's silent." Ruthie rolls her eyes, as she asks "Is he plotting?" Leigh tells her Granddaughter "You can bet he's got something in mind. He was going to meet up with your Mom and Bree, but he's not answering texts or calls." Marco walks inside and yells "Turn on the news!" Leigh turns on the TV, as Ruthie goes "Oh dear God..." Leigh sighs "I think we know what he's plotting now." Back at The Sunset Club, Jared, Clint, and Thorpe arrive, as Berry and Aretha sit and Berry asks "Where the hell is Rachel?" Aretha assures Berry "Who needs her ass. We got this." Thorpe sits down, and Clint and Jared stand at the podium, as they begin to talk, and says "We have an announcement." A sign is behind them, as they pull the cover off, as Jared tells everyone "Today we announce a new company. Landon-Hale. Our goal is to become the main players in town, and make Jackson Inc, and HaleCorp pay." Clint adds "We are their nightmare." At Jackson Inc, Sully and Jack watch, as does Leigh, Ruthie, and Marco at Class. All of whom watch on with disgust. In the car, Ava hears the announcement, as she calls Xavier, which goes to voicemail.

    Meanwhile at La Trattoria, Connor sits with his Mother, as Bridget tells her Son "Where is Wade? He was supposed to meet us here." Connor goes "You cling to him too much." Bridget tells her Son "I don't really like this place, and I sure don't like what I am feeling." At HaleCorp, Wade is in his office, as Samantha stands inside with a gun aimed at him, yelling "Bastard! Where is my Mother?" Wade yells "Angelica is not your Mother!" Samantha grins "Yes she is." Wade asks Samantha "So who are you? Who am I talking to?" Samantha grins "Call me Aunt Bella asshole!" Wade pushes a button under the table, and says "Ok Bella. It's time for you to go get some help." Samantha turns off the safety, as she yells "No, you're the one that needs help!" Diego rushes inside, as Wade screams "Get this crazy bitch out of here!" Diego tells Samantha "Bella, Wade did not kill your Mother. They left town." Samantha snaps "So who has to die then?" Diego goes "I'm your Son." Wade goes "I've enjoyed this trip into psycho town, but time to meet my Wife." Wade runs out, as Diego tells his Cousin "Hand me the gun. I'll help you find who killed your Mother." Samantha looks at him, and says "Oh you are such a good Nephew." Wade is outside, and calls Xavier, to no answer, and sends his Wife a text. Back at La Trattoria, Connor rolls his eyes, as Bridget says to him "He's got away from his desk. On his way." 

    Meanwhile at City Hospital, Beth sits in her office, as Xavier walks inside and tells his Mother "I got your text." Beth lights a joint and goes "I think you might want a toke or two for what I got to reveal." Xavier declines, and says "Mother, is this about Samantha?" Beth answers "No. But here's what you need to see." Beth hands a file over, as Xavier begins to read it, and goes "Oh hell no." Beth answers "Oh hell yes Son." Xavier gets up, and yells "Clint and Jared is having their pity party presently, and now this?" Beth calmly asks "How are you going to break this to Leigh?" Xavier has a flashback, and says "The best way is to rid the problem. She does not need this!" Ginny and Rashad walks inside, as Beth tells her Son "Now take that file, and go visit Sully. I'll be over tonight with Mama." Xavier hugs his Mother, and leaves, as Ginny asks her Great-Aunt "What was that about?" Beth changes subjects, and asks them "What's going on?" Rashad goes "Ginny and I are worried about Dr. Rivera." Beth takes a deep breath, and assures both of them "Something is off with him. I warned him earlier. Now I am leaving to check on my Mama. I'll be in touch." Beth holds the door, and Ginny and Rashad walks out, as Beth locks up her office, and says to herself "Can't catch a damn break around here, or anywhere!" 

    At Hell Hill, at Country and Storm's Cottage, Storm is awake, as Country tells him "So Xavier paid you a visit? You know what's going to be before prison now don't cha?" Storm tells him "I am NOT going around Samantha, Bella, whatever the hell he name is again!" She is crazy!" Country assures him "And we know. So stay away from her? Ever been to my hunting land?" Country hands him a plane ticket, and quips "Since you have this address, you'll be ok little buddy." Storm thanks him, and heads to his room, as Country gets a text. At The Farm, Bree unlocks the door, and Floyd and Tenny sit inside, watching soap operas, as Tenny snaps "Everything is fine here. Get lost!" Tenny lights a blunt, and Floyd shrugs, as Bree tells both of them "I'm just checking on the place since Uncle Frank went to Southpoint Beach, and put out the blunt old woman." Floyd tells Tenny "Lemme try that again." Bree walks out, as she rolls her eyes, and laughs to herself and says "Wow! I'm seen it all!" At the ALPD, Summer walks into Paul's office and goes "Daddy went back to Capital City. Mrs. Addie Gore seems to scare him. She would be a great Governor though." Paul laughs "Baby, your Mom's on a bus to prison. By herself, and I have nothing else to do." Summer goes "Thinking what I'm thinking?" Paul and his Wife embrace in a kiss, and heads home in a flirting manner. On the road, Jamie is taken to Unity in a dark SUV, with the windows tined inside and out, as she yells "Who's driving?" The window opens, and Bobby turns around and says "The bus was full." with a smile.

   At La Trattoria, Wade joins his Wife and Step-Son, as Wade tells them "That wife of Jack thinks she's my Aunt?" Bridget yells "Shit! Oh Shit! Wade!!", as Connor tells his Mother "Calm down Mom." Connor asks "What did she do Dad?" Wade tells them "She tried to kill me, but Diego's been running security. Xavier said he was the best one in that family. He saved me." At The Sunset Club, Aretha, Berry, meet up with Doris and Monica, as Doris yells "Drinks around the house." Aretha asks "Wonder where Rachel was today?" At The Gossiper, Rachel writes a letter, with fury in her eyes, as she has a flashback and fights her emotions. At Hell Hill, Xavier returns, and sits in the living room, and pulls out the file and reads it again, and says to himself "Damnit!" with frustration, thinking of his Wife with concern. At Class, Sully arrives, and Leigh greets her Daughter and says "Hello Miss Sully Jackson!" Ruthie hugs her Mother, as she tells them "Jared and Clint has no idea what's coming for their asses!" At The Sunset Club, a woman checks in, and looks at a photograph, before getting onto an elevator. Inside The Jackson Room, Clint, Thorpe, and Jared all have drinks as Jared goes "We'll wipe their empires off the damn radar with Landon-Hale!" Ava walks inside, and listens, as she makes her unseen, and sends a text. At Hell Hill, Xavier gets her text, and responds "I'm ready for his ass now."

    

     

      


   

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 332. The Double Power Play, Part 1

    It's the next day in Adam's Landing, and at Hell Hill, Leigh is in the living room, sending her Husband a text, as Sully, and Bree walk in and Sully tells her Mother "Ruthie's not meeting us at the Courthouse. Going down to Class and watch over things." Leigh looks at them, and says "It's going to be one hell of a day. I know that much. Your Father said he's staying away." Bree grins, as she says "Uncle Xavier's pulled some strings, and then some Leigh." Leigh smiles "That's my X." Sully tells her Mother "Jared has no idea." They head to the Adam's Landing Courthouse. At the ALPD, Monica sits in her office, as Paul walks inside and goes "Summer's not coming down." Monica tells Paul "I need something to spike this coffee for what's about to happen. I mean, what in the hell is called justice?" Paul goes "It's how things work in this town." Xavier meanwhile is walking down the hallway with two jailers, as they unlock Jamie's cell, and Xavier walks in silently, and asks "Sleeping well?" Jamie snarls "Son of a bitch. What are you doing here?" Xavier walks around, and says "I hear your case in front of Gilham will not happen. Behind the scenes deal." Jamie yells "Did you... oh you and Ava..." Xavier motions the guards, and says "You did all of this you selfish bitch. Now you are going to repent for awhile. Ava wanted to say farewell but she has something I'll make certain you never have, a life." The jailers walk towards Jamie, as she asks "Ok Xavier. Can I at least make one phone call?" Xavier laughs "Thorpe has his hands tied today. You are screwed sis." The jailers grab Jamie as she screams and yells, and Xavier stands, arms crossed, with a smile, and goes "A long damn time coming. And for a bonus, you get to suffer. Espicially with where I got you destined to land." Back in Monica's office, a jailer walks inside and asks "So what's up with Jamie?" Monica and Paul answers "She's being moved." 

     At Jared and Clint's new office building, Jared and Thorpe are inside, as Thorpe says "This is going to be a crapshoot. I just learned the judge who was originally chosen has taken a leave of absence." Jared asks "Who's replacing her?" Thorpe goes "No answer. I just know I think you're winning today." Jared tells Thorpe "I am going to win either way. Today I am free of Xavier as far as I am concerned, and time to expose the bastard." Thorpe smiles "Exactly right." At HaleCorp, Wade arrives as Clint gets a text, and asks Wade "An insider said the divorce judge called out?" Wade goes "Wrong one to talk to that shit about Clint. And shouldn't you be packing up?" Clint asks "What? You aren't going to fire someone out of the blue." Wade goes "Oh hell yes I can and have. Tell my Brother the same. I am now in control here. I don't want traitors in my place of business. Time for my Grandfather's legacy to be run the correct way, and out of anyone's hands who cannot be trusted." Wade walks off, as Clint takes a deep breath, with fury in his eyes, saying to himself "You don't know what's coming." Wade sends a text. At Whispering Hills, Ava sits with Tenny and Floyd, as she tells them, pouring a shot of whiskey in all their cups "Wade is truly my Winston's boy!" They then toast, as Ava grins "Today will be a damn good day."

    At City Hospital, Beth walks into her office, as Connor sits, and Beth goes "Put a towel down." Connor puts the towel down under the door, as Beth lights a blunt, and Connor gasps "Dr. Jackson!" Beth laughs "My Son gave this place to me as a birthday gift. Bought it cash money, taking a toke, and then asks "So I heard about Terrance from nurse Reed." Connor asks "What do you need to know." Beth says "I spoke to Rashad also, Ginny, Olivia's Granddaughter." Connor nods, and says "I don't know, but he needs to stop." Beth assures him "I have no problem standing up to him, but that is something you have to do. I don't like Dr. Rivera, but know you are a kind, gentle man and you're going places." Connor smiles, and walks out, as Beth makes a phone call. At The Evans Home, Willie sits in the kitchen, playing blackjack with her Son, as Terrance sighs "Mama, you always win this shit! Uncle Clem and Pops told me you know!" Willie grins with a smile. There's a knock at the door, and Terrance answers, as Doris stands and Terrance yells "It's Doris DuBois..." Willie walks to the door and asks "What the hell you think you're doing here? I know it's not what I believe it is, getting back with Clem..." Terrance takes a deep breath, as Doris goes "Willie! I know you understood my reasons!" Willie yells "Then why did you not take him?" Doris gets emotional, and walks to the door, and says "My Mama and Granddaddy Willie. They hated him." Willie tells Doris "Ok. Tell that again so I can walk out. Same damn story." Willie returns to the kitchen, as Terrance tells Doris "She is that way." Doris nods, and leaves, with a tear rolling down her eye.

     At The Adam's Landing Courthouse, Sully, Leigh, and Bree take their places. Jared smugly struts in with Thorpe and Clint in tow, as he whispers "You have no chance. Jared Hale Inc sounds really nice honey." Sully whispers back "Screw you Jared!" The bailiff announces the judge, as everybody jaw drops, as Bobby sits and says "Judge Gilham went to the islands to get some rest. I am filling in." Jared screams "Damnit! I yell mistrial!" Thorpe and Clint agree, as Sully turns to her Mother and Cousin, and goes "Daddy set this up. Has his handprints all over this." Leigh and Bree smile, and Bree says "Bobby has been a substitute judge from time to time." Bobby yells at Jared "Sit down!", slamming his gavel, and says "Ok! Now we are here about a divorce, and about a percentage in Jackson Inc due to a old rule Xavier used to go by before he learned about folks like Mr. Jared Hale there." Jared snarls, as Thorpe warns "Let him talk. Bobby is fair if you give him a chance." Bobby tells Thorpe "Picked the wrong one today buddy. His ass is about to be a free man, and seduce any whore on the street!" Jared gets up with anger, as Sully, Bree, and Leigh watch, and Bree goes "Judge Whitten, we know what he signed. So let's get it over." Sully and Leigh nods, as Jared rages silently. Bobby looks around, and says "Well. I have come to one."

    At Hell Hill, Xavier returns, as he is followed by Country, and he tells him "I am about to make damn sure everything is in motion. Leigh did say to find something to do, well call me a damn miracle worker!" Country laughs, as Xavier says "How about some beer? I feel like it after sending Jamie off." The doorbell rings, as Country answers and goes "Russell?" Russell Marx walks inside, and tells Xavier "Look, I know I'm running against the woman from Unity, and I am very sure you keep up." Xavier goes "Well don't thank me Russell. And I saved Summer because she is my Niece. I cannot help it about you." Russell says "I would like to be there more, but I am Governor, and my rival is really coming after me." Xavier sighs "Well look, I'm not interested, but let me watch and talk to Bobby." Russell says "Fair. Good to talk to you Xavier." Xavier and Country head to the study, and Xavier pulls out a jug, and two cups. At Jackson Inc, Jack sits in his office, looking out the window, as Ava walks in and hugs her Son and says "I heard about that from Tenny." Jack goes "Last thing I need with Sam going crazy and no end in sight." Ava reminds him "It isn't something to understand. One fact, Angelica was a evil bitch. We owe Wade." Jack nods in agreement.

     Meanwhile at The Falcon, Tenny and Floyd sits, as Tenny asks Floyd "I wonder if Cale is..." Floyd goes "Look, we got other problems if you look to your left." Tenny turns to see Rachel, and Tenny yells "Hey Rachel! Come over here!" Rachel nervously does, as Tenny says "So you are seeing Brock? In heat? Mid-Life crisis?" Floyd tells Rachel "She has had some liquor this morning. Can't handle it." Tenny snaps "She's dating my Grandson's, Son! She is old enough to be his Mother. And she aborted Xavier's. You know that killed that poor man!" Rachel asks "Can we leave that in the past Tenny? I've changed, and I have to go to my office. Brock is working at Jazz now by the way." Rachel leaves, and the waitress arrives, as Floyd quips "You are not like Ciarra." Tenny laughs "Oh, that girl and me, my little sissy... I miss her. Let's eat." At City Hospital, Connor walks into Dr. Rivera's office, as Samantha sits inside, and Dr. Rivera tells Connor "She thinks she's another person." Connor walks up, and asks "What's your name." Samantha coldly answers "Samantha asshole." Connor goes "She has DID (Dissociative Identify Disorder). Dr. Rivera says "So who calls her Husband." Connor nods and walks to his office, as Dr. Rivera snarls "You damn near blew it." Samantha snaps "I have to get revenge!" Samantha storms out, as Dr. Rivera walks out and bumps into Beth, who coldly warns "I don't know what that was about, but something seems off with you.. and when I do find out.." Beth walks off, as Dr. Rivera glares at her.

    Back at Adam's Landing Courthouse, Bobby has read the verdict, and says "Dismissed". and walks over to Jared and says "Your actions did this." Bobby and Thorpe shakes hands, as Bobby walks into the chamber, and makes a phone call. In the courtroom, Clint walks out, making a phone call as well, as Sully gets a huge hug from her Mother, and Cousin, as Bree tells them "Uncle Xavier did this." Jared yells "The son of a bitch did! Almighty X strikes again! Well I am so glad our marriage is done, and you will live to regret what's coming across the street." Leigh walks up to Jared, and slaps her now former Son-in-Law, and goes "You watch it Jared!" Jared storms out, as he, Clint, and Thorpe quickly leave, and Leigh gets a text, and says "Let me know what happens when the two of you see X!" Sully and Bree nod, with a confused look. At Hell Hill, Xavier and Country drink moonshine, and Xavier tells him "Jared learned, so did Jamie. Don't play with me!" Country goes "Hell yeah Brother." The doorbell rings, as Xavier goes to the door, and answers, as its Brock, and Xavier says "Your Mother is not here." At Ruthie and Ginny's Penthouse, someone knocks on the door, as Bridget walks out, and asks "Need something?" The person says "I am looking for my family." Bridget goes "Sorry nobody's there. Trust me I know." The person cracks a smile and looks down and takes a deep breath. Meanwhile, Monica returns to her Loft, and Doris sits inside, and Monica goes "So I got a call from Willie." Doris asks "Restraining order?" Monica asks "Are you still in love with Clem? And, you know something she does not need to hear." Doris agrees, and asks "Seen Berry?" Monica says "She's awaiting something big." At HaleCorp, Wade walks around his office, as he walks out of the office, as someone lurks with a pistol aimed at him.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 331. Moves In The Dark

    Day turns into afternoon, then evening in Adam's Landing. At Hell Hill, Leigh arrives home, as she yells for her Husband, to no answer, and finds a letter and takes a deep breath. Across the road at Whispering Hills, Xavier meets his Sister, as Ava tells her Brother "Wade went to take his Wife to dinner. Better that way." Xavier asks "What did you get?" Ava fills him in, and says "And do not forget who is bankrolling this, Thorpe Landon." Xavier gets up, and pours them a drink, and sighs with disgust "Whenever I thought Jared stooped to his lowest point, he goes lower." Ava adds "And Clint thinks you killed Lily." Xavier goes "So you know, the Governor wants Jamie out of jail." Ava yells "No! That bitch deserves to be in there the rest of her life!" Jack arrives, as Xavier goes "I'm so sorry about you and Samantha." Ava and Jack are puzzled, as Jack asks his Uncle "What are you talking about Uncle Xavier? We're married. She is not herself." Xavier looks at his Sister and Nephew, and warns "I got some news." Ava and Jack grow nervous. Back at Hell Hill, Leigh gets a phone call, as she tells the person on the other line "I'll meet you." Leigh grabs her purse, and writes her Husband a letter and leaves.

    On the road, Allan drives Olivia and Allison to Southpoint Beach, as Allison sends Cale a text to no answer, and Allan asks "Any word from his Sister?" Allison answers "No. They are close." Olivia sighs "She'll be on his side like Frank will be." In the air, Frank is on a private plane, as it approaches Southpoint Beach, as he calls his Uncle, to no answer. At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Floyd arrives as Beth cooks dinner, and Floyd tells Beth and Tenny "Frank went to Southpoint Beach." Ginny walks in, as Tenny chimes in, going "I should have taken a road trip if that little bitch would have.." Ginny throws up her hands, and goes "I literally can't stand this!" Beth hugs her Grand-Niece, and says "Ignore her. Sit down and enjoy a nice dinner before work at the hospital." Beth boldly states "No talk of Frank, Cale, Allison, Allan, or Olivia!" Tenny glares at her Great-Granddaughter, as Floyd is quiet, and they have dinner, as Beth looks at everyone and says "Wow it got quiet." In Southpoint Beach, Frank gets off the private plane, and types an address into his phone, as he heads to find his Son. In a room at the Holiday Hotel, Cale sits on the bed, as he looks at his phone, and grows scared, as his mistress yells "Wanna help me shower champ?" Cale looks towards the bathroom, and walks inside, throwing his robe off into the room.

    At Wade and Bridget's Penthouse, Wade arrives, and goes "Honey I'm home!" Bridget walks into the living room, and snarls "Do you see my grand welcome Wade? Wade asks his Wife "Did you go visit Class?" Bridget nods, and Wade quips "Well Bridget, you had it coming. I mean you know that much after your past." Bridget steps back, and asks her Husband "My past? I know I made mistakes Wade, I'm not the only guilty party in the room." Wade asks "Anything I can do to make you feel better?" Bridget, in a flirting tone, goes "I think I have an idea loverboy." She grabs Wade by the tie, and they go in the bedroom. At City Hospital, Connor is inside his office, as his superior is inside, and the man smiles "So what's the update with Samantha?" Connor answers "She has not come home." The Man looks at him, and goes "Oh well. Keep me updated. Time to go visit the Wife." The Man leaves, as a nurse walks by and says "Hello Dr. Rivera." Dr. Rivera answers "And hello to you.", getting onto the elevator. Back at Wade and Bridget's Penthouse, Wade makes love to his Wife, as Bridget gets a text, and tells her Husband "Connor will be working late." Wade sighs with disgust "Good." Bridget warns him "Wade that was in the past. I know why we are back. I'm on your side." Wade sternly tells his Wife "Now that you do, knock the shit off with Xavier's family before you ruin this good thing!" Bridget gets up, and goes "Wade you know how to kill a moment don't you?"

   At Santiago Manor, Samantha walks inside, as Storm asks "So I'm not leaving." Samantha walks to a counter, and opens it, and pulls out a pistol, as she yells "Get out or I yell rape you trash!" Diego runs inside, and tells Storm "I got her. Go home." Storm walks out with fear in his eyes, as Diego asks "What happened?" Samantha snaps at her Cousin "Firstly, I am now over this! Not you, not your Father!" Diego gasps "Oh dear God the old bitch..." Samantha looks at Diego, holding the pistol, and sternly says "Bella is here. And I answer to Ms. Santiago!" Samantha heads upstairs, as Diego takes a deep breath, and tears comes to his eyes over what has happened. At Whispering Hills, Xavier is informed on Samantha, as he asks his Nephew "Are you saying she is not herself?" Ava reminds her Brother "Remember Winston's sudden changes? Clayana?" Xavier gasps "Oh no." Jack asks his Mother and Uncle "Are you telling me Angelica perfected her so called potion?" Ava opens her arms, and says "Son, I am afraid she did it appears." Xavier assures both of them, heading to the door "I'll have a talk with Storm about this." Jack goes "Better you than me." Ava adds "Tell him of the original cottage." Xavier nods and walks out, as Jack yells "Shit! I can't believe this Mom!" Ava tightly hugs her Son, and goes "We'll get her back. I promise."

     At Cantina Mansion, Sully and Ruthie has dinner, as they talk about the day, and the topic's gotten to Bridget, and Sully assures her Daughter "I think you are now safe from her ass. She can take her issues up with me." Ruthie goes "You hate her like Grandpa hates Dad don't you?" Sully tells her Daughter "Yes. She and I were rivals in college. She was your Dad's first love. Then she comes to town and they have affairs, and a child. I don't forgive or forget that sweetheart. And if she wants to come after my store.." Ruthie goes "Mom.. you said I was in charge?" Sully sternly says "If Bridget Hale wants to go to battle with Class, I'm going to be leading the damn charge! Brock and Rachel walks over, and Ruthie invites them to sit down, as Sully tells her Brother "So I heard about seeing Mom." Rachel snarls "And Beth paid me a visit today. Bitch.." Sully reminds Rachel "My Grandma's not someone who forgets things. Give that up." Brock tells his Sister and Niece "Dad's been calm about all of it mostly, but I know he disapproves." Sully looks at Brock, and at Rachel, and says, as Brock and Ruthie talk to themselves "You really have changed Rachel. You may be what my Brother needs." Rachel goes "Sully do you approve of us?" Brock looks at his Sister, as Sully motions the waiter, and says "It does. Congratulations."

    Meanwhile at the Mathis Compound, Eve sits in the living room, as Berry tells her "So what's your hate for Rachel Lane? We did make a deal, and you know I can handle that little bitch if she tries some shit. You know.." Eve yells "I do not trust her. A white collar whore in so many ways. She is in this town and there's some things I wish not to go into." Leigh meanwhile arrives, as Berry is introduced, and Eve tells Leigh "Berry was getting her education on Rachel Lane and leaving because she and I are meeting in her office tomorrow morning." Berry walks out and goes "Diva!" Eve tells Leigh "So Rachel got the hots for your Son?" Leigh nods, and says "Beth told me I needed to talk to you. I recall what happened. Now fill me in." Eve sighs, and says "Leigh, your Son's best friend Henry, is Rachel's Son. I do not want Henry to ever know this. I fear it's coming. If they marry, it will come out most likely knowing how Rachel Lane works." Leigh tells her "You, me, and Beth can handle her." Eve looks at Leigh, and smiles with a thought "Oh hell yes. We'll handle the bitch." Eve walks over, and pours both of them a glass of liquor, and they have a toast, as Eve goes "To protecting our babies from Rachel Lane!" 

     At The Sunset Club, Jared sits, as he and Clint drink inside Jared's suite, as Clint tells him "Everything is in motion. Thorpe mentioned he's going to talk to Russell tomorrow. He couldn't reach him tonight." Jared gets a text, and  tells him "Well I tried to work over Brock. I was sure he'd join us." Clint warns him "We need to distance from Xavier. I am interested though in Brock's girlfriend. I know the DuBois. Rachel is out of there once Berry DuBois sees fit. Trust me I know her." Jared goes "How well Clint?" Clint smiles "We dated for a time. Luckily no kids. But she will kick Rachel out, then our door's wide open. Are you following me Jared?" Jared takes a drink, as they discuss strategy. Downstairs, Bobby sits with Bree and Country, and tells them "Judge Gilham decided to take a protest against Russell, and I am stepping in." Country goes "Oh hell.. I know that'll make X happy." Bree smiles "It's all settled now. Mom is going to pay." Bobby tells them "If she makes it to trial." Bree looks over at her Father, as he laughs "Ol X got something planned." Bree asks "And what might that be Dad?" Bobby looks at Country, as he turns to Bree, and assures her "Russell tends to forget things it seems." They all laugh and make a toast.

     Back at Whispering Hills, Ava sits inside the living room, as Beth, Floyd, and Tenny sit with her, as she fills them in and Beth asks "What has my Son got in mind for Storm?" Ava sighs "I haven't heard anything from him." Floyd tells his Niece "I can stay here since Frank's down in Southpoint Beach. I don't want you to be alone Ava." Ava assures her Uncle "I am fine Uncle Floyd. I need to grow comfortable knowing it's only me here now. Winston is on his island and taken care of and safe." Beth holds her hand, as Ava gets emotional, and Tenny gently goes "You'll be fine. I know you are a tough woman. And you have us always Ava. I made Ruth a promise, I intend to keep one end of it at least." Beth looks at her Mother, as does Ava, as Ava goes "Thank you Tenny." At Jack and Samantha's Mansion, Connor reminds Jack, as he gets angry "Dr. Rivera and I.." Jack asks Connor "And where the hell has he been. I have called the son of a bitch and no answer. I want my Wife back to the woman I love and my Son calls Mom!" Connor sighs "I understand Jack. I need to see her to get her what she needs. Try patience. I know its hard." Jack sighs "I do Dr. Walsh. Thank you." Connor leaves, as Jack calls it a night. At Santiago Manor, Escobar walks inside, as he gasps "Are you?" Samantha smiles "Diego Escobar Santiago! My my! I have waited!" Diego watches from upstairs, as Escobar goes "This would make your Mother so happy if only she was here.." Samantha asks 'What do you mean?" Escobar kisses Samantha as he calls it a night, and Samantha heads upstairs, as Diego sends a text. 

     At Hell Hill, Storm returns to his cottage to find Xavier waiting for him, as Xavier sends Leigh a text, and snarls "Took your ass long enough!" Storm goes "What do you mean?" Xavier pulls his Colt 45 out and coldly says "Ever let me hear anything about you and my Nephew's Wife, and I will kill you dead you piece of shit. Do I make myself understood?" Storm goes "She's not Samantha.." Xavier snaps "I don't care. She is Jack's Wife. Remember who has saved your ass, and who can send you back to that place." Xavier leaves, as Storm takes a deep breath, as outside Xavier makes a phone call, and goes "Perfect. Just exact." At Sully's Mansion, Sully prepares to call it a night as she gets a text, and says with a smile "Everything will go well I am certain." Meanwhile at City Hospital, Ginny is on the phone with her Mother, as Allison updates her Daughter, telling her "We're staying at Mom's condo. Tomorrow I'm finding your Dad!" Ginny goes "I hope the two of you.." Allison goes "Ginny, there's nothing now to save for the two of us." Back at The Sunset Club, Jared hangs up with Clint, as Jared's sits back, and smiles and says "Tomorrow I will have my say in what Xavier's precious Jackson Inc does with my Ex Wife in charge." At Clint's new Estate, on the outskirts of Adam's Landing, Clint speaks to Berry, who sits in her Loft, and goes "So what do you say Berry? Help me, and I will help you." Berry goes "Landon, you are cunning. I'll sleep on it." and hangs up, as Clint grins. Back at Hell Hill, Xavier walks inside, as Leigh tells her Husband "Rachel will not be marrying my Son!" Xavier reminds her "Our Son. And we have more issues than just that. Tomorrow's going to be a major day for our Daughter." Leigh goes "I am glad everything worked." Xavier and Leigh kiss, as he says "Me too my love.", and they call it a night.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 330. Strategies And Danger Moves

     At Jackson Inc, Sully returns and greets her Cousin, as Jack tells her "Come over and look out the window. Looks like the building across the street's got a new tenant." Sully walks over, and looks down as she says "Oh he's so busted.", glaring at her soon to be Ex-Husband in the new building, as Jared, standing in an empty room, hangs up the phone, as he notices her and shuts the shade. At HaleCorp, Ava and Wade glare angrily at Clint in silence, as Clint asks Ava and Wade "So both of you know everything? What exactly are you talking about? Ava tell me this since you know everything.. Did your Brother kill my Wife? I know his ass did!" Ava turns to Wade and says "Go to your office and leave me alone with him." Wade asks "Don't you uhh.." Ava smiles with fury, calmly saying "It's personal now Wade. Wait. Now get lost." Wade struts out, as Ava awaits, and once Wade walks out, Ava pulls out some files, and asks "So you two bastards where in cohorts with the old bitch, and here's a new business idea." Clint snarls "Your family is going to pay for killing Lily.." Ava rolls her eyes, and warns him "I have nothing to lose, and I know one thing. My Brother will not respond to this well. I won't if my sweet Niece suffers." Ava walks out, as Clint is furious. Ava walks to Wade's office, saying to herself "Oh hell no you won't dare. For damn certain once I tell Xavier!"

     At Hell Hill, Xavier sits in his study, as he speaks to Wade, as he gets updated, and sighs "We'll meet tonight..", as Beth storms in and yells "Ok Son! What in the hell is going on?" Xavier hangs up, and asks "Mother what in the hell is wrong?" Beth takes a deep breath, and says "Just met up with your Wife at The Sunset Club. She got a call and didn't finish.." Xavier rolls his eyes, and Beth asks "It was about Brock and some girl. I don't like what I'm feeling Son." Xavier gets up, and pours a drink, and tells his Mother "I don't lose any sleep over my Son. And neither should you. It'll benefit us." Beth gets frustrated, and snaps "I don't give a damn about business Xavier, I am interested in my Grandson and finding real love. Not a whore, not some young Rachel Lane out there..." Xavier yells "Answered your question Mama! There you go! I did give you a hint..." Beth gasps "Excuse me? Did you just say.." Xavier answers "Rachel Lane! I know how you feel. But I am watching her closely." Beth storms out, as Xavier takes a deep breath, and says to himself "Only God can help you now Brock." At Rachel's Loft, Brock walks inside, as a knock's at the door, and Brock answers. Jared quips "I have an idea." Brock welcomes his Brother In Law inside. 

    At Chantel's, Bree and Country have lunch, as Bree tells her Father "It's nice to have you back. Good to know you and Uncle Xavier have mended fences." Country gushes "Well Bree, you've done good by helping Sully with Jackson Inc." Bree smiles "Thanks Dad." Monica, Paul, and Bobby join, as Bobby tells Bree "We need to talk about Jamie." Country rolls his eyes, as Bree asks "Where's my Sister?" Paul answers "She's talking to Russell. He's hellbent on her release." Monica notices her Mother in Law, and tells everyone "I'm going over to visit Mama and Rachel. Jamie's staying in jail if I can help it!" Monica walks off, as Bobby asks "How did the meeting with Thorpe and Clint go?" Country laughs "Oh hell Bobby.. Clint and Jared's itching for X's wrath once he finds out everything." Paul is silent, as he reads a text from his Wife, and takes a deep breath. Bobby turns to his Son, as Bree also gets a text, and Country and Bobby ask "What happened?" Over at Doris and Rachel's table, Rachel sighs "I have my past. But today.." Doris asks "Rachel, do you have a conflict of feelings? Honey, are you attracted to Eve's Son?" Rachel snaps "No! It's much deeper." Doris has a brief flashback, and goes "Oh Gotcha now... Well let's fix that problem." Monica meanwhile has walked back to Bree, Country, Paul, and Bobby. Monica snarls "I hope someone runs Marx out of office. Son of a bitch!" They head out, as Bobby and Country tells Monica "Time to visit Hell Hill. Xavier will have a solution."

   Meanwhile at The Falcon, Frank and Floyd walk inside, as Thorpe greets them, and asks "So what are you doing here? Cale drives for me now. I know about your latest screwup." Frank warns Thorpe "Your ass is bound to really piss the wrong person off." Floyd adds "Xavier's already watching you and your Brother." Frank quips to his Uncle "They are sorry. That's for sure!" Thorpe snaps at Frank "My team has kicked your ass in the past few years. Maybe time for the old champion to sell his team!" Tenny walks inside, as Frank yells "Landon, my new driver will be strong. And if you mess with Cale. I'll kick your ass! Thanks for wasting my time." Floyd meanwhile sees Tenny, as she watches Thorpe walk out, and claps at Frank, and goes "Brava! Good to see Cale has you looking out for him and teaching the dog some new tricks on how to be a male whore." Floyd asks Tenny "Are you feeling better?" Tenny glares at her former Son In Law, and snarls "When Frank breathes? And Cale is running around Southpoint Beach like a virgin on spring break? It's his damn fault. I should kill them both!" Frank warns Tenny "Watch your damn threats or I'll be making a phone call to Beth." Tenny asks "So where's Alyssa? Do you know? I heard she eloped with someone." Floyd rolls his eyes, as Frank asks his Uncle "Why did you tell Tenny?" Floyd goes "We are friends." Tenny adds "I like Floyd. But you, no." Frank tells his Uncle "Let's leave. I got to help my Son." Tenny tells him "Do that Frank. I'm planning to help him. Help him out with this pistol in my purse." Floyd warns her "Stop!" Frank responds "Try it you old bitch and you will have a bad day. Let's go Uncle Floyd." Floyd sits with Tenny, as she smiles and says "I want to talk to him. So you get lost." Frank yells "Come on!" Floyd gets up, and shrugs, and Tenny goes "Tell your Son I said to go to hell." Frank and Floyd leave, as Tenny looks in her purse, and leaves.

     At Class, Leigh, Ruthie, and Marco are inside Leigh's office, as Bridget arrives, and Leigh and Ruthie rolls their eyes, as Bridget asks "Well where's Sully? Thought I'd extend an olive branch." Ruthie coldly goes "I'd like to extend something." Ruthie walks up to Bridget, and slaps her across the face, as Bridget asks Ruthie "What was that for? Looks like you have some problem with me. Why?" Leigh snaps "You slept with her Dad whore. You also had his child too. Sully has been moved up, and Ruthie's now in charge." Marco motions to Leigh and says "Your Husband wants to speak to you." Leigh talks to Xavier, as Ruthie yells at Bridget "Get out of my store, and never come back! I know Wade and my Grandpa is friendly, but you will be a whore and homewrecking bitch in my eyes!" Leigh hangs up, and yells "Shit!" Bridget walks to the door, and says "I'm back to stay. And I'm about to come for you." Bridget walks out, as Ruthie asks her Grandmother and Marco "Come for me?" Leigh tells her Granddaughter "She just said she wants to go to war." Back at Hell Hill, Storm and Samantha show up at Storm's Cottage, as Xavier greets them and asks Storm "Why are you with my Nephew's Wife?" Samantha asks Xavier "And what business is it of yours sir?" Xavier gets out his phone, and says "Let me call Jack.." Storm tells Xavier "They broke up." Xavier is silent, and walks off as he gets a text, and Samantha goes "Let's go to my house Stormy." They head off, Xavier returns home, and is silent, looking at Jack's number, and saying to himself "Damn."

     Back at Jackson Inc, Sully and Jack sits in his office, as Rashad arrives and notices anger in the room, as Jack tells his best friend "Samantha's left." Sully tells them "I need to make a visit to my Daughter's new neighbor!" Sully storms out, and Rashad tells Jack "I have the lab at City Hospital still running tests. Beth has said she wonders if it's a concoction Angelica had created." Jack tells him "Mom said the same. I think they might be right. I wish I knew what to do about it." Rashad tells him "I think Connor can help her." Jack goes "If she will get it." At HaleCorp, Wade and Ava sit in his office, as Clint's left, and Wade and Ava goes over what they've found, as Ava yells "These bastards are paying for this! That's a fact!" Wade agrees, and adds "Xavier will have the answer." Ava quips "I think he's going to have some guests soon." Back at Rachel's Loft, Brock listens to Jared, as he fills him in on his plans and tells Brock "What do you have to lose? I've always been there for you. I'm offering you something your Father gave Sully." Brock snaps "I'm not interested. You hurt my Sister, my Niece who I consider a Sister. I love my family Jared." Brock walks his Brother In Law to the door, and says "Now if I were you, I'd stay away from Rachel, and don't even involve me in this plan or her if you know what's good for you." Jared snarks "Brock, you are losing out. Go ask the almighty X for help. He will never go as far for you as your Sisters." Jared walks off, as Brock walks inside, and lights a blunt.

   Down at The Gossiper, Berry and Aretha sit in her office, as Doris walks in and tells them "Be easy on Rachel." Berry asks her Mother "Did she return with you?" Doris nods, as Aretha and Berry look at each other, and Berry says "Someone came to see her. I let them wait in her office." Doris asks her Daughter "What is your problem with Rachel?" Aretha answers "Ask Eve, and who just arrived looking for her." Rachel walks inside her office, as Beth sits at Rachel's desk, and calmly says "So you've got your whoring claws into my Grandson. Now I know why nobody told me." Rachel warns her "I have changed Beth and love him. He really is a great man. A gentleman." Beth gets up, and walks over, and says "He's a good kid. And I am warning your ass, don't hurt him. And don't expect me to warm up to you. Ditto for my Daughter In Law. I do not trust you." Rachel yells "Beth can you try to move on? I have forgiven you." Beth snaps calmly "Your child is in a better place bitch. You made me do what I did with some help. But hurt Brock, and you will make the worst mistake.." Beth pulls out a syringe, and asks "Remember this? I put your Mom, and you in one with this oldie. I will again." Beth walks out, as Rachel calls Brock, to no answer. Beth stands in the lobby, as Berry tells her "Thank you for that enlightening look at Rachel." Beth smiles "Watch her." Beth leaves, as Doris and Aretha walk into the lobby, and Berry goes "I want to see Eve." and returns to her office, as Aretha warns Doris "Beth caught her up." 

    At the new office building, Thorpe meets his Brother, as Clint tells him "They know." Thorpe grins, as Clint asks his Brother "But what they know is not what I know?" Clint asks "What do you mean Thorpe?" At Hell Hill, Xavier sits inside his study, as he's filled in by Bobby and Country, as Xavier picks up the phone, and goes "Looks like I need to send a friendly reminder to Russell Marx again." At the ALPD, Monica, Paul, and Summer are inside Paul's office, as Summer cries "We can't let my Dad have his way. He's scared." Paul tells his Wife, as Monica is quiet, reading a text "Bree's going to make sure that does not happen. She has assured you she has no chance in hell." Monica tells them "She's in solitary until court. Jamie is finished." In a padded cell, Jamie screams at her Daughter "I will be out, and I will destroy you!" Bree gives her Mother the finger, and tells the jailer. "Only one visitor." Bree walks out, as Jamie paces her cell. At The Farm, Frank sits in the living room as the phone rings, and Floyd answers and looks at his Nephew, as Floyd goes "Ok. Be safe." Frank asks "Allison?" Floyd tells him "I think you need to head down there. They are driving." Frank gets up, and Floyd hugs his Nephew, and goes "Now don't start a war." Frank tells him "I'm going down there and fix this." At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth walks inside, as Tenny smokes a blunt and goes "So my Daughter's keeping secrets? I know one I'm not telling you ha ha ha!" Beth snarls "Chill out Mama! And what secret?" Tenny struts to her bedroom and goes "Oh? Well one I'll keep to me." Tenny walks off, leaving Beth suspicious. Next door, at Wade and Bridget's Penthouse, Bridget sits in the living room as the doorbell rings, and hangs up the phone and walks to answer it and goes "Sully..." Sully delivers a fierce slap across Bridget's face, and warns her "Next time you see me, I'll sharpen my razor."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 329. The New War Cries

    It's the next morning in Adam's Landing, and at Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Xavier is in the kitchen, along with Ruthie, as Tenny walks inside and greets both warmly with a hug, as Beth says "I hope Ciarra's pancakes turn out right." Tenny slurs, as she's barely awake "You got it sweet girl." Tenny looks around, and asks "Where's Ginny?" Ruthie tells her Great-Great Grandmother "Sleeping. She worked all night over all that has happened." Xavier adds "Frank sent me some info on a driver. I'm going down to check him out with him. Frank needs my help." Beth agrees, telling her Son "He is old and doesn't realize it like your Grandmother." Tenny flips off Beth, as she adds "And I don't know what Allan has in mind." Tenny quips "Lily?" Xavier smiles, and says "Nice work Mamaw!" Beth warns her Son, as Ruthie enjoys the exchanges "Do not get her started again!" Tenny gives Beth the bird, as Beth serves them breakfast.

    At Whispering Hills, Jack has arrived, and updates his Mother on Samantha, and Ava assures her Son "She should be fine I'd imagine." Jack goes "She was not herself Mom." Ava tells Jack "I don't know what to say, except Angelica did this type of shit to Winston too," Jack shakes his head in disgust as there's a knock at the door, and Ava says "Wade is coming over. Stay. You are involved." The housekeeper opens the door, and Wade walks in, and greets Ava with a hug, as she asks "How are you doing? Is Bridget here?" Wade nods, saying "She finally came back." Wade looks at Jack and reaches his hand, and Jack goes "Nah, you are a snake Wade." Ava reminds her Son "He killed Angelica." Jack shakes Wade's hand and hugs him tearfully and says "You did all of us a favor! Wade tells him "Connor will help your Wife. I'll help Ava save Grandfather's company. You are welcomed to it.." Jack sighs 'Eh, Uncle Xavier has me lock and key." Ava smiles "That's ok. Wade and I will put HaleCorp back into people's minds again with its companies." At The Sunset Club, Samantha steps out of the shower naked, and says "Oh yes! That was good. Damn good!" She jumps on the bed and excited asks "Want some more action bad boy?" Storm slowly wakes, and has a headache and goes "Oh no. Did we.." Samantha smiles "Oh yes we did Stormy poo." 

      At Class, Leigh greets her best friend, as Marco asks "Is Ruthie is going with Sully about the divorce." Leigh tells him, heading to her office "X handled that. I swear Jared's pushing it. I know X has had enough. I can see it." Leigh walks into her office and rolls her eyes and turns to Marco, and asks "You forgot to tell me about unwanted visitors?" Brock asks, as Rachel is with him "What? I am your Son." Leigh yells "But Rachel is not related to me. Don't want her related to me and X and in our family period! I'm tired of being quiet about it. If you do marry, whatever. I nor your family gives a shit and Rachel is not welcome!" Rachel warns Leigh "You are going to lose Brock." Brock agrees, and Leigh tells them "I'm sorry, but that's my feelings. Now please leave me alone to work." Brock and Rachel leave, as Leigh takes a deep breath, and snarls "I am so tempted.... but knowing their past.."

    Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Sully arrives, along with Bree, as they head to The Jackson Room, where Thorpe and Clint sits, and Sully yells at Clint "Get the hell out of here you piece of shit!" Clint tells Sully "The way it works, I'm helping a friend. Looks like you have none." Sully tells him "Daddy is on standby." Thorpe whispers "She calls Xavier Daddy. We may have a chance." Bree warns Thorpe "We've dealt before, and I've won each time. Don't get too damn cocky." Jared arrives, and Country walks in, and tells them "X sent me in case anything happened to Sully." Thorpe looks at Sully, and says "Due to Xavier having Jared's life threatened, to constantly taunting him. And he does have 25 percent in Jackson Inc from pre-nup. Jared wishes to use it, and sit on the board." Sully looks at her Cousin, and Bree tells Thorpe, glaring at him, Jared, and Clint "Hell no." Thorpe says "What about to the children?" Jared says "Time out.." Sully snarls "Bastard." Clint tells them "Jared deserves his percent after all that son of a bitch from hell's put him through!" Sully stands up, and yells angrily "Shut the hell up before I come across this table. I don't owe Jared a damn thing. He owes me! Two children outside the marriage. Does Connor know Jared?" Thorpe says "Now off topic. Let's stay on track." Bree goes "As Sully's attorney, I say Jared pays her instead. Let's go to court." Bree gets up, as Jared asks his Wife "Seriously? You know I'll win." Sully ignores him, as Jared, Thorpe, and Clint leave. Country tells his Daughter "Jared is close to a visit to the storm shelter." Bree tells her Father, as Sully hugs Country "I think you're right." Sully adds "They are plotting." They head out.

     Meanwhile at FJR, Frank meets Xavier, and says "Thought Sully was coming down." Xavier answers "Divorce proceedings. Jared's about to learn my other side." Frank tells his Brother "Thank you for keeping my secret, tell Beth too." Xavier tells him "I will. So this kid is from Adam's Landing, and related to Country?" Frank says "He is his Son with that girl from years ago after he grew up, not screwing my Sister as a teenager," Xavier asks "Does Country know?" Frank shrugs, and tells Xavier his name and Xavier gets up, getting a text, and tells Frank "I'll be in touch." Xavier leaves, as Frank calls Cale to no answer, then another call, telling them "Come on to town, He approved." At Cale and Allison's Mansion, Allison sits in the living room with her parents, as Allan tells his Wife and Daughter "Frank knows where the bastard's at." Olivia reminds her Husband "And I do too. Wrote his ass a letter on my way to the airport." Allison yells "He screwed my Cousin, and now someone else. He's enjoying Southpoint Beach a damn bit too much if you ask me." Olivia quips "It has that affect on some. And with him driving for someone else. It'll be tempting." 

     At City Hospital, Connor and Bridget walks around his office, as he tells his Mother "I love working here. Beth has been very nice to me. I've been respected." Bridget breathes a sigh of relief, as she gets a text from Wade, and says "Looks like you will be busy. I am going out on the town today." They hug, and Bridget leaves, as Terrance storms in and slams the door behind him." Terrance quickly says "No help now to keep me from telling you what I think." Connor asks Terrance "What is your problem? Seriously I think you have some anger issues." Terrance tells him "You are a fake. And I do not like who you are working with." Connor goes "But Beth hired him didn't she? Or did you, the CEO?" Terrance warns Connor "I don't like you. And I know your secret. You can't hide it." Terrance walks out, as Connor shows concern in his eyes, and makes a phone call.

    At The Gossiper, Rachel arrives, as Doris, and Berry are in Jamie's former office, as they yell "Come on out." Berry tells them "Here's the new head of the magazine." Aretha walks out, and asks "Um, no.. not her." aiming at Rachel." Rachel sighs "Oh hell. I thought she was retiring?" Aretha asks Doris "You said I would be in charge?" Doris says "You have The Exposer Aretha. Rachel isn't going to be looking over your shoulders. Remember our deal?" Berry looks at Rachel, with further suspicion, as Aretha warns them "I hope you told Eve of your new Co-CEO. If not, I fear things will turn nasty, and fast!" Rachel asks "What about her?" Berry answers "We own her music catalog now and publishing rights. She is also a board member, as is Aretha." Rachel rolls her eyes, as Aretha tells them "I need some air." Aretha walks out, as Berry yells at Rachel "You are a schemer Rachel Lane. I think you should resign so my Brother's legacy can be repaired from the damage you and Jamie has caused!" Doris steps in, and says "Rachel, go to Jazz and I'll meet you there." Rachel leaves, with confusion and anger in her eyes. Back in Jamie's old office, Doris boldly scolds her Daughter, and says in a firm tone "You forget girl. I'm the one in control. Don't forget it either or I'll show you!" Doris leaves, and Berry makes a phone call, shaking her head.

   At Hell Hill, Sully walks inside, as Xavier greets his Daughter and asks "Where's Bree?" Sully goes "Meeting up with Bobby, Monica, and Paul. Uncle Country went with her." Xavier asks his Daughter "How did things go?" Sully tells her Father, with anger in her voice "He wants a part of Jackson Inc. I'm going to court." Xavier tells her "His time to feel my fire has come." Sully sees the look in Xavier's eyes, as he asks "Did he return to his office?" Sully asks "Daddy? He is using you as his alibi. Your friendly visits with Storm and Uncle Country may not help things." Xavier reminds her "Princess, he and his friend are plotting. I am going to make sure the two failures fail. Jared will make a mature decision however it happens." Sully takes a deep breath. At HaleCorp, Wade arrives, as Ava follows him and says "Looks like Jared and Clint are gone." Wade laughs "Diego is outside keeping watch." Ava tells him "Let's go through their shit, and find the dirt." At a office building, Thorpe walks his Brother and Jared around, as Clint tells them "I like it. And close to Jackson Inc." 

    Meanwhile at Cale and Allison's Mansion, Allison has awakened, and hangs up the phone. She tells her parents "I'm going down there." Olivia tells her "Well I'm coming with you Ally. The son of a bitch's will learn better than to hurt my damn Daughter!" Allan takes a deep breath, and says "I think I'll stay here to keep an eye on Mama." Olivia snaps "Oh shit Allan! Let Beth do it.." Allan reminds them "Have all of you forgot Ginny?" At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth has left, and Tenny has a thought, and walks across the hall to Ruthie's Penthouse and unlocks the door and yells for her Great-Granddaughter, as Ginny tries to rest as she wakes and goes "Gran?" Tenny asks "So how are you? Are you ok? Who's side are you on?" Ginny closes her eyes and yawns "I'm not doing this with you Gran. You are going to make things worse for Mom and Dad." Tenny assures her "I only want what's best.", as Ginny asks "What does that mean?" Tenny asks "Want to go with Gran on a road trip to the beach? Beth will understand.." Ginny yells "Get out! I need to sleep!" Tenny struts to the door, and warns "So you are Daddy's little angel. Tell him I said I have something waiting for his ass when he does come home from his whore." Tenny leaves, as Ginny gets upset and screams with fury.

   At Jackson Inc, Jack sits inside his office, calling his Wife, and her phone is now turned off. Jack walks and looks out of the window, and makes a phone call. At The Sunset Club, Beth walks inside, as Leigh welcomes her and Beth asks her Daughter In Law "Why didn't we meet at your office?" Leigh takes a deep breath, as Beth goes "I don't think I am liking this." Leigh orders herself and Beth a drink, and responds "Brock wants to get married." Beth shrugs, and goes "Who is the girl he's going to marry? I know he's been staying with someone but he doesn't share who with me." Leigh is silent, as she shakes her head, and Beth asks "Leigh, what is going on? Is something wrong." Leigh quickly goes "Oh yes!" Meanwhile Storm walks through quickly, as Samantha is with him, as she says "Don't be scared. I'll protect you." Storm notices Leigh and Beth, but they don't notice him. At Jazz, Brock sits as he talks to his best friend, as Henry smiles "I love this place! I have my eyes on someone." Brock gets a tap on his shoulder, as Rachel kisses her fiancĂ©, and Rachel whispers "I'm meeting with Doris." Henry asks Rachel "What are you drinking?" Rachel looks at Henry, as she asks Brock "Is this your best friend?" Brock says "Yes! Henry Mathis and I..." Rachel notices Doris, and walks away quickly, as she tells Doris "Bad idea." At the bar, Henry asks Brock "Is she who I think she is?" Brock nods, as Henry has a thought. Outside, Doris asks Rachel "What is wrong? You hurried out in a rush!" Rachel has a flashback, and says "Let's go someplace else." Meanwhile at HaleCorp, Wade and Ava are inside Clint and Jared's office, as Clint walks in, and coldly tells Ava and Wade "Who gave the two of you the right..." Ava looks at Wade, as they glare at Clint, and Ava boldly says "I know everything bastard. Everything."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 328. The Night Storms

   Evening has arrived in Adam's Landing, and Beth serves Allan, Olivia, Tenny, and Allison dinner, as she says "Ruthie is working late or she'd be over, same for Alyssa. Likely at Frank's." Allan snarls "He's going to cover for him.." Allison yells "Enough everyone! My heart is broken!" Allison starts to cry, as Olivia consoles her Daughter, and says "Ally, it'll be ok. I let him know my thoughts before coming back tonight." Allan also consoles Allison, as Beth looks at her Mother, and Tenny goes "I think someone should shoot him like I did with Lily. Help things out. Make the world better." Allison glares at her Grandmother, and says with disgust "You are a mean spirited bitch." Tenny tells her, as Olivia warns her Mother In Law, and Allan roll his eyes "Don't even." Tenny says "Any child of Frank Jackson and the whore is trash! And so are you." Allison is held back by her parents, as Beth yells "Knock it off and act like damn adults! I am not putting up with this!" 

   At Jack and Samantha's Home, Diego visits, and Jack asks Samantha's Cousin "What was injected into my Wife? I am worried!" Diego tells him "Me too. My theory is Angelica helped create something to make an heir. She was intent on that." Jack takes a deep breath and sighs "I haven't told J.J., and wish I had an idea what to expect." Diego tells him "I'll be around. Call me when she returns and I'll let you know if I learn anything." Jack thanks him and Diego leaves, and Jack calls his Mother, to no answer. Jack also calls his Wife, but to no answer. At The Inn, Samantha asks Storm "What's wrong you sexy ass? Storm tells Samantha "You are Jack's Wife." Samantha answers "Who told you? That man is not my Husband. I have no hubby. But I am looking for someone to keep me warm tonight." Storm looks puzzled and pulls out his phone, and Samantha stops him, and snaps "Do not call them. It's done. Must I tell you again?" Storm is silent, as Samantha whispers in his ear "I'll rock your world and have you eating from the palm of my hand." Storm's eyes widen. At Whispering Hills, Aretha visits, as does Terrance as Ava fills them in and asks "Where's Willie?" Aretha and Terrance answer "At Eve's announcement." Ava tells Aretha "And her past with Doris will be interesting." Terrance tells them "Mama never forgave her." Ava pours them a drink, and says "Well she and my Mama were literally Sisters, and a lot alike. Willie is full of fire." Aretha takes a shot and says "Oh yes!" 

    At Jazz, Eve tells everyone "I have sold my publishing to my music to Berry and Doris DuBois and DuBois Publishing, and will slow down on my career to enjoy my family and my health while I have it. Brain tumors make you change your thoughts on the important things." As Eve talks, Doris and Monica smile as Henry records, and Willie leaves, as Sayyid turns his eyes to her, and takes a deep breath of dread, as River asks his Father "What's with Aunt Willie?" Sayyid answers "My Son. It's Doris Johnson." River says silently "Shit.." 

   Meanwhile at City Hospital, Ginny, Rashad, and Kyle sit in the lounge, as Ginny tells them "I need to stay busy right now with what's going on." Rashad gets a page and heads out, as Kyle tells Ginny "I heard on the radio your Dad's signed a contract and going live soon." Ginny yells "Turn on the TV Kyle! I'll be pulling double shifts anyway." Kyle tells her "I've got ya covered Dr. Stone" At The Farm, Frank hangs up the phone, as Bree arrives, and hugs her Uncle, as Frank tells her "Uncle Floyd is asleep. He's a night owl now." Bree laughs, and says "Congrats with Mom." Frank nods, and says "It's Cale. He's got another woman down in Southpoint Beach. Around Ginny and Alyssa's age. He's signed a deal with Landon Racing." Bree goes "Thorpe's team?" Frank nods and adds "I am not going to be accountable. I didn't raise Cale. He was in a terrible home but.." Bree hugs her Uncle, and assures him "You did nothing wrong." Bree changes subjects, and says "Aunt Ava returned. She is holding strong." Frank tells his Niece "Ava's very strong. She's changing since she went down to that island." Bree tells him "Her scare was likely it."

     At La Trattoria, Xavier and Leigh are seated, and Brock and Rachel walk inside. Xavier and Leigh are quiet, as Rachel smiles and says "How are the two of you tonight?" Leigh answers "No comment Rachel." Brock warns his parents "Cool it." Xavier tells his Son "This is already risky enough Brock! Leigh adds "I fear the two of you are about to say something I wish not to hear." Rachel reminds Leigh "I have changed. I am now a major part of DuBois." Xavier is silent, as Leigh tells her "And I don't care. Brock is old enough to be your Son! I don't approve, and sure as hell not with you with your track record. Poor X.." Xavier sighs to his Wife "Leigh don't.." Brock yells "Damnit Mom calm down! Rachel and I are getting married!" Leigh's jaw drops, and Xavier tells his Son "Look, just do what you want. You never let it stop your ass. You can deal with Gram when she learns. But don't come to us." Leigh gets up, and warns her Son and Rachel "I hate this, and I can't deal with this." Leigh tells her Husband "Let's go home and call it." Xavier agrees, as they leave, and Brock looks at Rachel, and they motion for the waitress, and Rachel says "Told you it would go bad Brock." Brock pulls out two plane tickets, and says "Blue Ridge. Tonight." Rachel passes, and says "Come home with me instead and let's cuddle." Brock and Rachel kiss. At the bar, unknown to them, Jared watches with a smile, and takes a drink from his beer.

     At Sully's Mansion, Sully and Ruthie walk inside and Sully asks her Daughter "So what's on your agenda tonight?" Ruthie goes "Nothing. Brock's with Rachel. Alyssa is with her boyfriend on a trip. Ginny's at the hospital." Sully tells her Daughter "Stay with me sweetie. I hate being alone. Your Dad.." Sully fights tears, as she says "Really hurt my heart Ruthie. And I want the bastard.. Well to regret it!" Ruthie hugs her Mother, and assures her "Mom, it's ok. I'm here and staying with you. Dad's a piece of shit." Sully cries, and says "I'm sorry..." Ruthie goes "Jared Hale is sorry, my Mom's the best." Sully goes "I love you." At Wade and Bridget's Penthouse, Wade, Bridget, and Connor order out, and have dinner, as Bridget updates her Husband and Son on Sugar Creek, and adds "Logan is staying for now. He hates it here. Like me Wade!" Connor tells his parents "Can the two of you be civil?" Bridget tells Connor "There is nothing civil in this town Connor." Wade agrees, and adds "At least we are safe." Bridget tells her Husband "Now I can get back at Sully over how she's done me." Wade stops his Wife and says "Bridget, I get along with them now, you do the same. And as your Husband! That's an order." Connor tells them with frustration "I think the two of you should get help." Wade snaps "Go to hell Connor." Bridget hugs her Son, as he calls it a night, and Wade asks Bridget "So wanna mess around?" Bridget goes "Wade Isaac, you are a piece of work. You and Connor need to work on your relationship." Wade tells his Wife "I am happy you're here, and I want to make love to you tonight like our first time." Bridget grins, as they go to the bedroom.

    At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, everyone has gotten updated by Frank, as Beth, Tenny, Allan, and Olivia gather around Allison, as she takes another drink, and blunts are passed, as Beth tells them "Cale acts like he's got an addiction of some kind to sex." Allison is silent, still overcome with disbelief, as Allan boldly says "When I see him, I'm getting him." Tenny adds "I have my gun loaded..." Olivia stops her Mother In Law and snaps "Enough! I'm ready to slap the shit out of you," Tenny snarks "Allison married the son of Frank and Claudia..." Allison slaps her Grandmother, as Beth and Allan break them up again, and the racing news comes on. At The Farm, Frank, Bree, and Floyd watch the TV, as he tells them "I gave Allison an update and Ginny." Bree tells them "Summer and Paul's having date night." Floyd quips "I know what that means. Easing away all the pain.." Frank laughs, as Bree says "At least she's changing for the better. Floyd agrees, and says "Ciarra adored you both." Bree says "We did her too Uncle Floyd." The racing news comes on, and Frank yells "Listen!" as Cale makes his appearance and begins to talk, as they watch. 

    At Jack and Samantha's Home, Diego has left, and Jack is alone, as he continues to try and call his Wife, and Mother, both to no response. Jack says "I feel completely lost." At Whispering Hills, Aretha and Terrance has left and called it a night, as Ava is silent inside Winston's study, and drinks a bottle of liquor, and cries "He didn't deserve to get dementia. This was going to be so good." Ava takes another drink, and looks at Winston's picture, and makes a phone call. At Santiago Manor, Diego walks inside, and says "So creepy now. Might be time to sell since Wade isn't..." A man walks down the staircase and boldly goes "Nobody's selling this home Diego!" Diego gasps "Shit!" The man goes "Oh you knew I was home. How about a hug and discuss the future?" Diego boldly says "The era of evil is finished Father." Diego's Father, and last living Santiago since Angelica's death, Diego Escobar Santiago, tells his Son "I have my way of ensuring Angelica's dream potion in the family lab down south works." Diego warns him "I will just say enjoy it while it lasts. I want no part." Escobar says to his Son "Well then. I guess you and umm, Jack.. never know what Samantha got." Diego is silent and asks "What the hell are you trying to allude to Father?" Escobar smiles "Our family is so multi-talented..." Diego answers "Yeah, twistedly and cruel!" Diego storms off, and heads to his suite at The Sunset Club, as Escobar walks around and laughs loudly, as he has some thoughts to himself.

     At The Evans Home, Willie storms inside, and Aretha asks her Mother "What is wrong?" Willie snarls with fury "Anytime I see her I want to kick her ass like when Ruth and I broke Carla Barr's face!" Aretha nods, and says "Doris." Willie yells "Yes! She struts in and thinks she's somebody. Just ran off the alter because of Clem's one night stand with Carla and that was before they got together. Clem ran away briefly before Doris." Aretha tells her Mother "You need to be nice to her. I am going to sell The Exposer to DuBois and retire." Willie asks "And what's in this for you? That's your creation." Aretha says "A percent of control and a board seat. Berry DuBois is going to run it and I'm going to travel." Willie tells her Daughter "That is better. Good idea. Always enjoy every second. Let's go to bed. Rashad needs to quit nights." Aretha says "Just like Terrance with the hospital." Willie nods, as they call it a night. At City Hospital, Ginny, Rashad, and Kyle watch the TV, as Cale speaks, and Ginny calls her Mother, as Rashad gets up, and opens the door for a nurse, and she goes "Excuse me. Oh..." Rashad asks "Alright?" The nurse smiles, and shyly goes "Yes. Aren't you.." Rashad nods, and she responds "What an honor. See you around Dr. Rashad Evans." The nurse walks out, and Rashad has stars in his eyes. 

    At Monica's Loft, Berry reunites with her Mother, as Monica tells them "We are well on our way to the top without Jamie. Everything is set for her, and now we own Eve's music and we all win." Doris tells them "Willie is going to make her regret it. She hates me and still can't accept my very just reason for not marrying Clem." Berry gasps "Mama... you and Sayyid.." Doris tells her Daughter "Your Daddy didn't like talking about him and hated him. But Clem slept with Carla Barr, and it was in that time I wish not to relive again. Her family was going to kill us. They lit a cross on fire in front of our house.. I was scared." Berry says gently "I understand both sides." Monica adds "I think Willie's from another time." Doris says "She's been through a lot. Raised her siblings and I always admired her. I guess I do have regret." Berry tells her Mother "I'll make her proud if Aretha agrees to your offer." Doris heads off to the bedroom, as does Monica to hers, and Doris tells her Daughter and Daughter In Law "Sayyid is really my soulmate."

    It's Nighttime, and Cale's announcement has rocked his personal life, and at Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth scolds her Mother "You need to chill out on Allison!" Tenny snarks "Can't stand the bitch. Now I'm done for today. Just more proof genetics are real Beth." Tenny walks off, and Beth is silent, as she calls Frank, but goes to voicemail. At The Farm, Floyd has went to bed, as Bree sits next to her Uncle, and says "I can't believe he had that nerve. Hell, I would've never done that to Beth when seeing Claudia." Bree sighs with sadness "Seems like mid-life crisis." Frank gets up, as does Bree, as she hugs him, and heads home, and Frank calls it a night. At Cale and Allison's Mansion, Allan and Olivia sit in the kitchen, as Allison has passed out, and Olivia tells her Husband "Cale will regret this. Nobody hurts my baby and gets away with it, and your Mama..." Allan boldly says "Leave my Mama alone. She is still grieving." Olivia answers "Well what's her next alibi Allan? She shot Lily dead. She's crazy and.." Allan tells his Wife "My Mama does not allow anyone in, and won't now Aunt Ciarra's gone. So if that's her way, then that's it. Nothing we can do. But once Cale and Allison divorce, then she'll warm back up to Allison." Olivia holds Allan's hand, and kisses her Husband, as they head to the guest room. 

     At Hell Hill, Xavier and Leigh lay in bed, as they have watched Cale's announcement, but discuss Brock, and Leigh tells her Husband "Brock is too young for her. Have you forgot the past?" Xavier tells his Wife "Strategy my love. She is a big name now with DuBois, and I hate media, but she stays silent." Leigh turns off the light, and says "X, you never cease to amaze me." They go to sleep. At Rachel's Loft, Brock and Rachel lay in bed, as they make love, and take off each other's clothes. At Sully's Mansion, Ruthie sits outside, calling her Father, to no response. Inside Sully is on the phone with Bree, as she tells her Cousin "Tomorrow morning at The Sunset Club." Sully goes "Ok. Be safe." and hangs up, as she takes a deep breath, as Ruthie walks in "Your Father is in for the fight of his life as of tomorrow. With that, nighty night love." Ruthie hugs her Mother, with sadness in her eyes. 

    Meanwhile at Whispering Hills, Ava lays in the bed, looking where Winston would lay, and puts a photo over on it, and kisses it. She cries herself to sleep missing her Husband, yet knowing he is alive and physically well besides his dementia. At Jack and Samantha's Mansion, Jack lays in his bed with Samantha and holds her pillow, looking at his phone, as she has turned her phone off, further concerning him. At The Inn, a very drunk Storm, and Samantha laugh, as Storm laughs "So it took all this for me to believe you are someone else." Samantha, who's sober, as she quips "I showed you everything umm." Storm laughs "Look this is interesting but you need to be home and I am calling Jack." Storm pulls out his phone, as Samantha breaks it, and says "I'm going to warm your bed tonight Stormy. About to be some stormy weather with me bad boy." Storm is silent, as Samantha leads him out.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 327. The Warm Calm

      At Jack and Samantha's Mansion, Ava tells her family "Everything is perfect now. I had to see it for myself. Oh if God isn't good!" Summer looks at her Sister, as Bree tells her Aunt "Mom is about to be gone for a very long time." Sully asks Jack "Where's Samantha?" Jack looks upstairs, as Ava is caught up by her Brother as she tells them "Winston has settled in nicely at his private island estate. Victoria is looking after him, and has a full team at her disposal. I promised her I would look out for Samantha if she was still in her silent state." Ava asks "How's HaleCorp with Wade back in charge?" Jack goes "Mom I have let Uncle Xavier deal with that." Xavier tells his Sister "Wade is doing fine. We got everything under control." Sully adds "And I think soon Jared will be gone from there. He wants back in at Jackson Inc. Wants his 25 percent.." Ava rolls her eyes, and goes "He is very friendly with that snake Clint. Victoria said to take it easy, but time to meet with Wade." Bree tells her Aunt "Go home and relax. You are still healing." Ava looks at everyone, and says "I have a stop to make, but we'll catch up more." Ava hugs everyone, and looks at her Son, and hugs him tightly, as she tearfully says "Winston loves you always Jack. He may not remember you now.. but he does." Ava leaves, as Xavier, Sully, Bree, and Summer consoles Jack, as he thinks of Winston. Outside, Ava has a flashback to her life with Winston, and holds back her tears, and says "I'll always be yours Winston Hale."

    At Jazz, River and Henry arrive, as Allan tells them "I am heading back home now." River asks, noticing anger 'What happened? Allan goes "I'm kicking his ass when he comes back." Allan storms out, as Henry asks his Father "What was that about?" River shrugs, and says "Father's on his way. Mom's on her way. Tonight she has an announcement. So Son, prep yourself. Aunt Willie's going to be here and someone she detests also." Henry asks "Who is it?" River answers "I think Doris DuBois. She and Dad once had something. And she and Mom worked together for years in the publishing business with her music." Henry says "Ahh, gotcha. Well I'm going to see Brock. He wants to show me where he's about to move." River tells him "I got it here. Go have fun, and don't do anything I wouldn't do." Henry laughs, and goes "Tell Mom hello for me." Henry leaves, as River looks around with a smile. At The Mathis Compound, the new home of Eve, River and Henry Mathis, Sayyid Ross. Willie smiles "This is nice! Really too much for my liking." as Sayyid walks his Sister around, and Eve walks down the staircase, and says "Time to see my boys! This announcement will be huge!" Sayyid tells his Wife "What is this announcement you're hiding Eve?" Eve goes "Sayyid Ross I am not saying a thing." Willie quips "Clem it looks like you may be home more." Eve laughs "Possible, but let's head down to Jazz and meet up with everyone." They head to Jazz.

   At The Sunset Club, Jared and Clint sit with Thorpe Landon, a new attorney in Adam's Landing and investor, as Jared says "We can start a dynasty with Landon Media. Buy out HaleCorp from Ava and Wade." Clint nods, and Thorpe asks his client, glaring at his Brother "Now we're here to discuss other topics now. Like this 25 percent. Are you wanting alimony from Sully Jackson?" Jared takes a drink and says "Yes. Her family, especially her Father has caused me hell since I made just one screw up." Clint reminds Jared "What about Wade's Wife?" Thorpe tells his Brother "Shut up Landon. I am the lawyer, and if I help both of you, I am going to make damn sure you don't screw things up. I am starting over. I have no time for schemes and I don't want a war with Xavier Jackson like you both seem hellbent on." Jared gets up, and yells "I am going back to the office!" Jared stomps off, and Clint smiles "Excuse him.." Thorpe warns his Brother "I don't give a damn about Lily. She was a con. And Jared's record is strong enough for me to help make a big investment. But you will now answer to me bubba." Clint nods, and offers a toast "To success." Thorpe declines, and says "I have to go meet someone. Later." Thorpe leaves, and pays the waitress, as Clint gets a text and smiles with a thought in his mind.

    At The Exposer, Doris stands in Aretha's office, and asks "So no to my offer?" Aretha tells Doris, a longtime friend of hers "My Mama would flip out, and I'm not testing it." Doris goes "Honey, it's your life. And you will know Berry will keep Rachel in line, and you will own a part of DuBois as well." Aretha is quiet, and says "It is tempting." Aretha asks "So ready to see Eve?" Mama's going to be there." Doris sighs with sadness "I don't know why she always dismisses me. I saw her a few days ago, and she flipped me off at the red light close to my loft." Aretha laughs "She is feisty." They head out, as Aretha sends Ava a text, and Doris calls her Daughter. At DuBois Publishing, Berry is in her office, as she says to her Mother "I am staying here. Not coming to Eve's announcement. I wanna feel this girl out." Doris sighs "Ok Berry. Now don't start something that'll hurt your Father's company girl!" They hang up, and Rachel walks inside, and asks "So what's your agenda? I see your nose in the air." Berry gets up from her desk, and says "This was my Brother's desk. This company belongs to me Rachel Lane." Rachel walks out, and sends a text. 

   Back at Jack and Samantha's Mansion, Sully has left, as has Summer. Xavier and Bree sit downstairs, as Jack tells his Uncle and Cousin "I wish I knew what that bitch did to my Wife?" Bree holds his hand, as Xavier says "Angelica was pure evil. She would do anything to make her sick wishes come to life." Jack adds "I'm an example of that." Both Xavier and Bree nod, as Samantha walks downstairs, and says "Jack." Jack's eyes widen, as does Xavier and Bree, as  Samantha walks around, and says "Hello everyone." Jack asks his Wife "How are you Samantha?" Samantha takes a deep breath, and grabs him and kisses her Husband on the lips and says "I have to get out for awhile and see the world. Be back in a little bit." Samantha quickly leaves, and Xavier and Bree watch, as all of their jaw drops, and Jack sends Diego a text, as Xavier gets a text, and tells Bree "Keep an eye on Jack. I'm going down to the office and help you out." Bree hugs her Uncle, as Xavier leaves, and Jack gets voicemail and yells "Bring your ass to me Diego! Time to spill!" At Storm and Country's Cottage at Hell Hill, Storm, Country, and Diego drink liquor, and Diego tells them "I don't have his answers." Storm slurs "Jack thinks he's perfect. I think he's spoiled." Country tells Storm "Jack was the result of Ava being raped by Aaron Pittman thanks to her Sister. That was wild." Diego gets another text, and snarls "Damnit!" Country asks "What's wrong Brother?" Diego tells them "I need two big swigs of that shine. My Father's in town. The chameleon." Storm asks "Is he evil like Angelica?" Diego answers "I don't know, but never trust them. He may have the answers though."

    Back at Jazz, Brock and Henry return, as River greets them, and says "Mom's not here just yet but a few have arrived." Henry and Brock tell him "Well I'll tell you since you can keep a secret. I'm about to marry Rachel Lane." River gasps "And I just wondered where you were moving? But woah..." River tells him "Brock, you and my Son need to stay low on this. I mean, not a damn word to anyone. This could start something." Henry asks "Dad what are you talking about? I know you and her had a past, and miscarried.." River sighs "Let's change subjects son." Eve, Sayyid, and Willie arrive, as Monica and Doris has a drink, and Doris gets up to go greet them, and Eve warmly welcomes Doris, as she hugs her but looks at Sayyid with stars in her eyes, and glances to Willie and says "Good to see you again Willie." Willie snarls at Doris "Can't say the same about you. Wish you were back in California or wherever." Sayyid tells his Sister "Stop it.", as Eve goes to greet her Son and Grandson with a hug, and Monica pulls Doris away, as Doris goes "What is wrong with her?" Monica answers her Mother In Law "You know what it is Mama." Eve asks River "Where is Allan?" River tells her "Something's going on. He didn't really say but not himself!" Eve tells everyone "Well here is my announcement everyone." Everyone grows silent, as Willie glares at Doris, as Doris sits on the other side of Sayyid. Henry turns his camera on to film his "Mother's" announcement."

   At HaleCorp, Jared walks into his office, and goes "Ava.. you returned? I was hoping you'd stay gone." Ava asks "Where is Clint? Wade went to pick Bridget up. Not saying to go bust up his marriage again like you seem to do." Jared warns "I am divorcing Sully, and I will own part of your family legacy Ava. Also, I think Grandfather wanted me to run.." Ava snaps "When you had a Son with Summer, and Bridget, that was that there you bastard. I mean shit! Your Mama is down at Lithia River Psychiatric Hospital because of you. And no you have lost. I will have a LOT of free time on my hands now. So you get ready. Might want to find another trade. You are a failure." Ava walks out, as Jared is silent, and boldly says "Ok then. If it's war, it's war." At Adam Landing International Airport, Wade meets Connor, and warns "I am picking up my Wife. Ava said to enjoy myself." Connor asks "Is Logan following?" Wade answers "Not yet. He's in Sugar Creek running my child." Connor tells his Father "Holiday Hotel. I know... You think you are superman now don't you?" Wade warns him "Watch your mouth Connor. I will kick your ass! You don't know me. Nobody does but me! Understand?" Bridget walks towards them, and yells "Hello!" Wade hugs his Wife, and Connor hugs his Mother, as they all embrace.

   At Jackson Inc, Sully sits in her Father's office, as Xavier sits at his old desk and touches it, and Leigh arrives, as Sully tells her parents "Jared is up to something. He and Clint Landon are too damn cozy." Leigh goes "He needs to stop accusing X of killing Lily. But she did ask for it." Xavier tells his Wife and Daughter "Let's discuss Princess' divorce." Sully asks "So what about Thorpe Landon? What is Clint capable of?" Xavier tells her "Thorpe is fair, but Clint has never been close in smarts. But Jared and Clint are in for their worst nightmare now that Ava's home." Leigh asks "How is she doing?" Xavier and Sully nod, and say "Ok and pretty strong. She is going to make Jared suffer since she'll have a lot of time on her hands." Leigh and Sully laugh, as Leigh tells them, getting a text "X. Tonight we are to meet Brock at La Trattoria." Sully looks at her Father, as Xavier covers his eyes. 

   At the ALPD, Paul is in his office, as Summer greets her Husband with a kiss, and says "I want to confront her now." Paul asks in shock "What?" Summer says "Aunt Ava told me today she loved me, and Uncle Xavier." Paul goes "This is a new person. Where's my Wife?" Summer says with happiness "My family loves me Paul. I am happy. I feel safer." They kiss, and they head to Jamie's Cell, as Jamie yells "Paul leave me the.." Jamie sees Summer, and Summer says "Keep it shut. I may kill this bitch for what I've endured." Paul and a jailer stand by, as Summer yells "I hope you rot for what you've done to all of us! I will help see to it!" Jamie yells "Summer, you can go to hell. I see Bree's done brainwashed you. Maybe Xavier and Ava.. Get out of here! I'll come back and when I do, I'll destroy this family. A damn promise!"

    At Jack and Samantha's Home, Jack and Bree talk to Connor, as he sits in the living room, and says "This sounds like dissociative identity disorder, but will have to watch. From all I know, she has been through enough." Jack asks "What will we have to do Connor?" Connor answers "Time. We need to take time. I want her at my office tomorrow!" Connor leaves, as he heads home, and inside, Jack tells his Cousin "Go see Mom. She needs you more." Bree tells him "Come with me Jack." Jack says "I need to stay here, and have some time to myself and in case she returns hopefully before the end of the day." They hug, and Bree leaves, as Jack breaks down and cries. At Whispering Hills, Ava walks into an empty home, and has another flashback (At Winston's Private Estate, in a lucid moment, Winston tells his Wife "I am slipping, but I will forever love you Ava. Do you forgive me for my wrongs. I do know I hurt you." Ava hugs him tightly, as they watch the sea, and gently says "I am forever yours. And I already did.") Ava looks at Winston's photo, and cries, saying "Oh how I'll miss you." At The Inn, Storm sits inside, as Samantha walks in, and walks up to him, grabbing him and kissing him on the lips tightly.
