Daylight And Darkness: Episode 345. Strategies And Close Calls

    It's the next morning in Adam's Landing. At City Hospital in Xavier's room in ICU, Xavier is in a coma, as his Wife sits next to his bedside, holding his hand as Beth walks inside, and asks her Daughter In Law "Think you need to get some rest?" Leigh tells her Mother In Law, looking at her Husband "I sent the kids home, and Sully's bringing me a change of clothes." Beth sighs as she checks her Son's vitals "I slept in one of the reserved rooms." Beth checks Xavier's blood count, and tells Leigh "This is bad." Leigh goes with fear in her eyes "What is bad?" Beth goes as she tries to stay strong "He's still losing blood. We are going to have to talk later. His stomach is fragile, and I am scared really to operate." Leigh tells her "There are others here Beth." Beth quickly says "Leigh I am saying to you as a Doctor, your Mother nailed him in that AVM, and this surgery will change his life. I want to say he'd pull through, but..." Beth quickly gathers her emotions and says "I'll continue to monitor this, but get ready. Just get ready." Beth walks out, as she sends a text. In Xavier's room, Leigh looks at her Husband, with tears flowing from her eyes, and says in a trembling tone "You can't leave me X."

     At Hell Hill, Tenny sits in the kitchen, as Gracie walks inside, and Tenny tells her Great-Granddaughter "Beth just updated me. Not good." Gracie sighs "I just got a message from Gram too, and Sully should be here shortly." Floyd walks into the kitchen, and says "I went down to The Falcon and got us some breakfast." Tenny goes, along with Gracie "Not hungry." Floyd reminds them "Do not forget this is my Brother's Son we're taking about. He's survived a lot and will survive this too!" Outside, Sully arrives, and is on the phone with her Son, warning Cain "Stay away from your Dad. And if you see the son of a bitch, warn him to stay away from me!" Brock pulls up, and goes "Rachel's at the office." Sully nods, and says "Good. We have to have a family meeting." They walk inside, and Tenny greets her Great-Grandchildren with a hug, as Sully tells her Great-Grandmother "Grandma wants us to meet her at the hospital." Tenny reminds Sully "And a baby? Gracie has little David upstairs. Who's going to watch him?" Floyd and Gracie walks into the living room as everyone embraces each other with a hug, as Gracie asks her Sister "What type of family meeting Sully?" Sully goes "Mom is hurting right now. Daddy might not pull through." Tenny yells "Do not say that! Xavier will not die! He can't!" Tenny begins to get emotional, as Brock tells his Great-Grandmother "Dad's tough as it gets Gran. But.." Tenny yells with tears in her eyes "Your Gram has lost her best friend, and now Xavier is knocking on the gates of heaven?" The door opens, as Alyssa walks inside, and Floyd tells them "I called Alyssa to help with Davey." Tenny turns and snarls "What is that bastard's spawn doing watching my Grandchild?" Gracie goes "Gran, we have to go down to the Hospital! Cool it!" Sully adds "No time to fight old wars because we have a new one brewing." Tenny goes "Well I'm staying here!" Alyssa assures Gracie "It's fine. I can handle Granny." Tenny snaps "I'm not your Granny!" Floyd tells them "Me too. Keep us updated." Sully, Brock, and Gracie walk out, as all of them take a deep breath, as they head to City Hospital. 

    Across the road at Whispering Hills, Ava hangs up the phone, as Wade walks inside with Bree, as Bree asks her Aunt "How's Xavier faring? Uncle Frank just told me it was critical." Wade also is interested, as Ava says to her Niece and Step-Grandson "I am staying updated in case they need me. Jack is down at the office, and I'm trying to figure things out." Bree goes "About Faith? Jack mentioned that to me." They walk into the study, as Ava goes "Well I'll deal with it when its time. I don't want to really talk about it." Wade changes subjects, as he goes "We need to talk about HaleCorp's future. Bridget wants it." Bree adds "I've read up everything and she cannot do that." Ava pours a drink, and goes "Now this is just what I wanted to hear. She wants to take my Husband's company because Wade chose his legacy. I guess she'll disown her Son with what's in the works." Wade tells her "Ava, we're going to place a hold on the merge. She will not hurt our Son." Bree asks "Are you sure Wade? From what I have learned, the two of you have a love hate type of marriage." Wade motions Ava, as she pours him a glass of whiskey, and herself, as she tells them "Bridget will do whatever she can to get her claws back into Wade. She has never liked Winston, me, or any of us. A little uptight whore in my book!" Wade sighs, and takes a drink and nods, as Bree tells Ava "Dad just sent me a text. I've gotta go. Keep me up with anything you hear about Xavier." Ava hugs her Niece, as Bree runs out and Ava tells Wade "So you are taking Uncle Floyd's old place and settle in. And you are set. Bridget does not have any idea who she's about to take on. She's got a double coming her way." They pour another glass, and chat in a secretive tone.

     At Coffeeteria, Summer sits as she drinks coffee and reads an update on Xavier, as her Father walks in and says "I want to make a post in The Exposer. Expose what is in store for Xavier and Leigh. I'm about to teach a lesson they'll never forget." Summer gasps "Are you crazy Dad? No I will not!" Rachel overhears them, and asks "So what's the agenda Governor Marx? Going to send a dying man and a Daughter who's gone through hell to jail to heal, well if one does. I am warning my fiancé of this right now! It will help you good!" Summer looks at Rachel, and warns "Do not do that Rachel.." Rachel pulls out her phone, as Russell tells his Daughter "Get her!" Rachel calls Javon, who sits at Jackson Inc in his office, and goes "Beth has called a family meeting." Summer slaps the phone from Rachel, and stomps it, as Rachel snarls "Summer, you will not go after me, you'll regret it, and lose it all! Mark those damn words. Good thing my memory works! Good day Governor." Russell looks at his Daughter, as he tells her "I likely am losing. And when I return to being a lawyer, I am making them pay for shit like this!" Summer goes to her Father "I hope you have room when you do Dad." At Jackson Inc, Javon sits in his office, as Rachel borrows someone's phone outside, and says "Ran into someone. Filled them in and wants some airtime. Big time!" Javon goes "I'll have everyone ready!" They hang up, as Rachel smiles "Ms. Adeline Gore. The famous writer, and the owner of Gore's in Unity now." Adeline, goes "Call me Addie Rachel. I go back with Xavier's family and Russell has his career in Capital City in a dumpster fire." Rachel goes as they head to Jackson Inc "It will be dosed today." Addie says "I really hate doing this as I'm simple and from what I've kept up with, as I called Beth this morning. We are dear friends." Rachel goes "I trust you, and love your history. Very inspirational. A elementary school teacher, author, and soon Governor. The dream." They leave, as Addie smiles "Not a dream Rachel, it's been faith and being called to serve."

     At the ALPD, Monica and Paul are inside her office, as Russell sends Monica a text, and says "He wants Julia released! What is wrong with this man?" Paul goes "Dad's in the visitation room now with two people." Monica asks "Who?" Paul goes "All he said was cameras off." In the visitation room, Julia is walked inside handcuffed, as Country, Ruthie, and Cain stand on the other side, as Country tells her "Took you long enough. Meet X's Grandkids. The ones who might not see their Papaw survive, because of you!" Cain gets emotional, as his Sister assures him "Grandpa is strong and will survive I am sure!" Country asks Julia with tears "You shot my best friend, and who I consider a Brother. His Wife, your Daughter, is down there at the hospital crying her eyes out!" Julia is silent, emotionless, as she coldly asks "And I am supposed to feel anything? And I am going to make them regret killing Daniel. Leigh and her lies.." Ruthie yells "I am warning you. If my Grandpa dies, you will too!" Cain cries, as Country adds "Your ass will be in my care, where your piece of shit Husband took his last breath!" Bobby walks inside, and Julia goes "Now leave me alone. I want to speak to my lawyer!" Bobby tells Country "Keep calm." Ruthie tells her Brother "You and I are going down to the hospital together." Cain nods, and Country hugs Xavier's grandchildren, along with Bobby, and they leave as Bobby asks Julia "Found a lawyer yet?" Julia goes "Screw you." Bobby laughs "I am now a part time judge. I am sure I'll be taking care of you..." Bobby walks out, as Julia rolls her eyes and taken back to her solitary cell.

     Meanwhile at Landon Hale, Thorpe sits in his office, as his Brother, Niece, and Nephew walk inside, as Clint's Son, Cole walks in and says "We're home Uncle Thorpe!" Clint goes "Our power in town will continue to grow to surpass anything the almighty X has in mind. If he was shot, that company will be in trouble." Thorpe snaps "Stop that shit now Clint!" Callie is quiet, as she has her phone turned on and Logan listens on the other line, as he turns it off, also at Landon Hale, awaiting his Mother's arrival. Back in Thorpe's office, Thorpe yells "I don't want to hear this shit!" as Cole quips "He might die, and then that company will fall." Clint tells his Son, and Daughter "Let's just leave Thorpe be. He's not himself." Thorpe goes "Good, and yeah little Brother, I'm very much myself. I just know what I know now that you will learn the hard way, and Jared and Bridget!" In Bridget's Office, Logan walks in as Bridget hangs up with Connor, and hugs her Son, as Jared walks in and Logan asks "So tell me what this is? Round two? I am feeling bad right now for Dad." Bridget goes "Logan he had a choice.." Logan looks at his Uncle and snaps "Did you help him make it sleeping with this piece of shit!" Jared gets angry, as Bridget tells her Son angrily "No! We are only working together!" Logan goes "I am not going to let you hurt Dad! I am going to work for him, and I am on his side if this is what it is Mom!" Bridget gasps "I am your Mom! Your Dad is going through one of his many phases." Jared is silent, as Logan yells at him "Get out of here!" Jared tells Bridget "I'll be outside." Logan warns his Mother "You remotely try to hurt Dad, I'll make sure I burn this bridge down!" Bridget sadly asks "Do you mean this?" She says "I have not cheated on him Son." Logan goes "You and Jared always find a way back, and I hope when you find Dad again, he tells you where to go. I sure as hell will!" Logan storms out, as Bridget cries, and Jared walks in, and they hug, as he consoles her as she says "He hates me."

     Back at City Hospital, Storm walks into Xavier's room in the ICU, as Leigh has changed clothes, and tells him "The kids will be in shortly after talking to Beth." Storm asks "What kinda surgery is going on?" Leigh says with her voice getting trembly "He'll have to have part of his stomach removed. My Mother has hurt this great man, and Beth said not to get too excited. She is scared, and.. and.." Leigh cries, as Storm hugs her and says "Leigh, he hears you. And you need to stay strong. Your Dad is dead. And Xavier always comes back." In Beth's office, Beth tells Sully, Brock, and Gracie of the surgery about to be performed on their Father, as Kyle, Sassy, and Gwen walk inside and Beth goes "Now all of you go down and tell him you love him. This is major surgery, and I sure wish Mama would have came down, but she's scared I know." They nod, as Beth hugs her Grandchildren, and looks at her staff, and says "Time to save my Son!" They head to the ICU. At Whispering Hills, Ava sits in the living room, as she drinks another glass of whiskey, and Frank walks in and asks his Sister "Think we need to be down at the hospital?" Ava goes "I can't. Too much on my mind with learning my Daughter is alive, and here in Adam's Landing!" Frank tells his Sister "I am shocked about it. She does look like Mama, and kinda acts like her some." Ava says somberly "I am so torn right now. I don't know what to do." Frank goes "We need to be there for Xavier's kids, as this is going to be a risky operation." Ava says to him "I'm sitting this one here. You go." Frank nods, and asks "Keep an eye on things across the road. Alyssa is there with Tenny." Ava nods, as Frank heads out, and Ava soon follows, and has a thought.

      At Hell Hill, Tenny sits inside the nursery, and holds her Great-Grandson, as she tells him "Your Grandpa is such a strong man and he loves you, and all of his babies. He won't leave you without a fight." Alyssa walks in, and goes "Faith is here." Tenny looks at Alyssa, and tells her "You are a good girl." Alyssa is in shock, and says "Something right for once." Tenny goes "Only in private." Tenny heads downstairs, where Faith awaits and Floyd tells Faith "I just want to warn you Tenny's not herself." Faith goes "I want to know some things." Tenny walks downstairs and says "Oh your DNA?" Faith tells her "Let me see it. I am done with that bitch. I'm just floored. I don't know anything it seems." Tenny goes "Well one thing is certain, you are my Granddaughter, and you and Xavier are cousins. So you and Leigh need to bond." Tenny opens her purse, and hands Faith a copy, as Faith goes "So my parents were married. A and A Sullivan." Tenny shakes her head, and says "That was to protect them. Allan is your Dad, and Ava's your Mother. They had a one night stand, and neither at the time were ready to raise a child." Faith asks "So what does all of this mean?" Tenny sits Faith down, and looks at her, as Floyd also takes a seat and tells Faith "Ava and Allan know I found you. The door is open for you to get away from that bitch Julia, and truly have your family you so deserve. I promise your adopted Mama will pay." Faith cries, as Tenny opens her arms, and Faith hugs her Grandmother, as Tenny goes "It's Gran so you know." Tenny holds her, as Floyd gets emotional, watching them begin to bond.

     At HaleCorp, Wade walks into his office, as he makes a phone call to his Son, and Logan, sitting in Chantel's, with Callie tells his Father "I'm on your side all the way." Wade tells him "Thank you Son. And Ava wants to meet you." Logan tells his Father "She will soon I promise." and hangs up, as Callie goes "That was a mess down there." Logan asks his girlfriend "So now I ask you what side you're on?" Callie asks "Is neutral ok with you? I am helping Addie Gore right now win against Russell Marx." Logan kisses her, and says "I am ok with it." At Jackson Inc, Jack walks inside Rachel's office, as Javon sits and Rachel tells them "Addie Gore overheard Russell. We're about to score one for the boss." Jack smiles "Uncle Xavier will love this. I hope he makes it." Javon quips "He's survived a lot of shit Jack. He's strong as hell and not one to give up." Rachel agrees. In the WAL news room, Addie tells the news anchor "Russell Marx is a corrupt man and I know he wants to hurt Adam's Landing. I got this straight from the jackass' mouth!" At The Exposer, Bree sits inside Summer's office, as they watch the TV, as Summer goes "Are they hiring at Jackson Inc?" Bree tells her Sister "I hope you see what power has done to your Father." Summer sadly sighs "Just as corrupt as our Mother." Bree sighs "He will be humbled. Just try not to get too close, and stay away from him right now." Summer tells her "I think it would be best to keep this job." At the ALPD, Russell walks into Monica's office, where Bobby and Paul sit, and Country has been updated and laughs with anger "So you want a visit to the ol storm shelter too huh?" Russell yells "I want Julia Woods released now!" Bobby tells Russell "Go to hell Russell. She is paying." Russell asks Monica "Comfortable? I promise I will be all of your worst nightmare if Addie beats me." Country gets up, and says "Keep talking. I might have to record some of this." with a smirk. In Julia's cell, where she is in solitary confinement, she paces and says with anger "I will destroy you Leigh, and your kids and grandkids will hate you and that bastard and his family!"

     At City Hospital, Frank walks into the private waiting room, as Ruthie and Cain watches the TV, and Frank looks and goes "Russell has always been a sorry piece of shit. And she is gonna clean his plow!" Ruthie and Cain look at each other, as all watch on. Storm walks out and tells them "Everyone's on their way out here shortly." Inside Xavier's room in the ICU, Sully, Brock, and Gracie all tell their Father how much they love him, as Leigh tells their children "He needs to know so he makes it."

Sassy and Gwen wheel Xavier out and take him to the OR, as Beth walks next to Kyle, and tells him "I miss Terrance right now." Kyle goes "We all do Dr. B." Beth feels a presence, one of peace and says "He's with us, and I know my Son will survive." At Whispering Hills, Ava is on the phone and says "My name is Felicia, her Mom." Ava takes another drink of whiskey, as Bridget answers from her office at Landon Hale and goes "Hey Mom!" Ava warns "I lied whore. Wade just sent me a message, and let me know what you are wanting. You picked a war you will lose." Bridget yells "You think I am weak, but I'll have that precious HaleCorp for Jared. And you'll answer to me." Ava hangs up, as Bridget sits back with a smile, as Ava sits back, and pulls out her lighter, and sets a piece of paper on fire, with anger in her eyes. At Landon Hale, Jared is in Clint's office, as Clint tells Jared "Cole will help us out greatly in our plans. We're buying Gore's Department Store. It's public."

River goes "Oh he'll find out very soon and the briefcase flies again." At The Sunset Club, Wade and Logan have drinks, as Wade tells his Son "So you are dating Callie Landon?" Logan goes "Yeah Pops, we're about to own Jared and Clint's empire with that union." Wade grins "You are truly a Hale. Why not just change it? Ava likes you." Logan smiles "I already started Dad." Wade hugs his Son. At another table, Russell sends a text to Bobby, telling him "This is going to hurt my chances majorly now!" Eve and Aretha walks by, as they leave and go "Your connection to Woods will be exposed Russell." Aretha adds "Low life bastard. Addie Gore will clean up your mess!"

Russell goes "Jared, have a drink on me. Xavier will not be a bother to you if he tries anything, if he makes it. His whole family's backing Addie Gore for Governor. And I am planning my move." Jared asks "What are you talking about?" Russell heads to his Suite for the night, as Jared takes another drink, and is silent, with conflicting feelings inside of him, as he says "Oh hell, I want to go after him, but wasn't for him I'd never learned this business." Jared walks out, and turns off his phone.

     At Landon Hale, Clint and Luke are inside his office, as Thorpe arrives, and tells his Brother and Son "Julia is getting booked, and Xavier might not make it." Both are in shock, and Clint warns his Brother "Might want to warn Jared too." Thorpe tells Clint "I am sure he knows." Luke tells his Father "I warned you about her. She was too happy to marry you Dad." Thorpe says "A great lawyer checks out their past, but in my case, I was fooled by her and I and nobody I know are to help her ass out of this!" Luke tells his Father "I'm here now Dad. And I don't think many cross Xavier and live." Thorpe nods, and goes "Well I'll see the two of you tomorrow. Today has been too much." Thorpe leaves, and Clint asks his Nephew "This will work greatly into my plans." Luke warns him, as he heads out "Cool it awhile Clint. Remember who backed this, and I am here." Luke heads to call it a night as well, as Clint sends a text, and goes "Can't wait." At The Holiday Hotel, Logan opens his door and says "Welcome baby." Callie Landon walks inside, and greets Logan with a kiss, and they take off each others clothes as they begin to have sex.

     Night has fallen and at Faith's Home, Faith stares out of her window, as she gets a phone call. She says "I won't bail you out. I'm done. We're done!" and hangs up, as she cries to herself and says "You got what you deserved, Dad!" At City Hospital, outside the operating room, where Leigh sits, with Country at her side as he goes "I'm not leaving." Leigh cries "I don't deserve this man. X wanted to protect me, and now he might die.." Beth walks out, as she tells her Son's Wife and best friend "I'm going outside to send everyone home. Tonight will be extremely critical.  "Leigh pulls herself together enough to ask "What does it look like?" Beth goes "One bullet wasn't bad, but the second struck an AVM in his stomach. He's in a coma now to heal and hopefully the bleeding can stop. I can't believe this happened." Beth looks at Country, as he tells them "She tracked Thorpe." Beth goes "Should have killed her instead. I hope nothing happens to her. Because she will not be treated in this hospital for damn sure." In the private waiting room, Sully, Brock, Gracie, and Cain stands around their Aunt, as Jack and Rachel has left and Ava fills everyone in on Faith, as Alyssa and Ty notice the doors open, and Beth walks out, and greets Frank with a hug, and he tells her "We're all here."

I remember the last time.." Beth tells her Grandchildren, "Stay strong right now. Leigh is not handling this well at all and I have put my Son, in a coma and hope he lives." Beth starts to cry, as she's consoled by everyone. In the OR, Xavier is wheeled out on a stretcher, as Leigh runs up to her Husband, and kisses him as he is unresponsive, and Olivia, Ginny, and Sassy take him to a room in ICU. Leigh looks at Country, and they follow as Country assures her "X is strong." At Hell Hill, Tenny sits in the living room, and Floyd sits next to her, and says "Grandpa's in a coma." her voice trembling with fear, as Tenny and Floyd hold her tightly. At City Hospital Sully hugs her Brother and Sister, and her Son tightly, as they all cry, as Ava, Frank, Alyssa and Ty consoles Beth, as she goes "He's never given up without a fight." tears streaming down her face.

I wanna go down there!" Tenny tells her Great-Granddaughter "You stay here and call yourself blessed! Now wanna tell me about the Father of Davey. I'll share this super-vape with you." Gracie sighs "I do not want to talk about it Gran! Do I have to repeat myself to you?" Tenny quips "I did find out your Aunt Faith is your Cousin, think I couldn't do the same thing, or even tell my favorite Grandchild that never disappointed me. Don't test it. I know your Gramma Beth is also curious.." Gracie goes "I told you already all I want." Tenny takes a hit, and says "I think you need to open up before you let this get you. You are too on edge. Now hit this vape dear girl and chill. Mom and Dad are in The Storm Shelter, hopefully about to fill Daniel Woods full of bullets, and I can keep a secret.." Gracie laughs "If you know who he is. Then I'll tell you if you are right Gran." Tenny goes "Ooo a game!" 

    Down the hill, Storm has returned, and laughs at a furious Daniel "Xavier brought you a guest. Payback is here." Country takes a drink of moonshine and says "I hope he gets your ass today. This place will live up to its name when he walks in." Outside Leigh gets emotional, as Xavier assures his Wife "It's alright. He is locked up in here. And you can now erase him my love. I am going to be right here." Leigh cries "I am so afraid to see him X..." Xavier takes a deep breath, and kisses her, and she holds her Husband, as Xavier holds his Colt 45, and Leigh pulls out her pistol, and they open the door." On the road, Bobby drives Thorpe to Hell Hill, and says to him "Xavier is not going to be happy. His Grandma sent me a message, and Daughter. I don't know but I think just think of a lawsuit." Thorpe goes "Damn right. My Brother and Jared will deal with this. Xavier helped me see what was wrong. I owe him." Back at The Storm Shelter, Xavier and Leigh walks in, as Daniel stands, and says "My girl.." Leigh goes "I'm not your little victim you sick bastard." Her voice growing cold with anger, as Xavier tells his Father In Law "She is not your girl, and you are going to pay back for scarring her beautiful soul. My love, the Mother to three of my four great children!" Leigh looks at Storm and Country, as they grab her Father, and Leigh bawls her hand in a fist, as she walks up to Daniel, with her Husband holding her with her hand, as she punches Daniel in the face, and Daniel yells "You poisoned my Daughter Xavier!" Xavier yells "You did that and your ass is about to belong to me!" Leigh screams at her Father "I hate you, you bastard!" Leigh pulls out her pistol, as Daniel goes "Forget that because you always made believe." Leigh snarls "Bullshit. Ask Faith, the one Mom adopted while on her trip out of town!" Daniel goes "I need a lawyer!" Everyone pulls out their guns, as Xavier makes a motion, and gets a text, and says "Your lawyer is coming." Leigh, Storm, Country, and Xavier pulls their guns out, aimed at Daniel.

    At Jackson Inc, Sully sits in her office silently. Rachel walks inside, and goes "Where is Javon?" Sully says "In his office. I know what's going on." Rachel asks "Russell Marx letting Daniel Mayer run his business in being Governor! I think it's be great!" Sully asks "Where's my Brother? Hmm I heard he was great at helping people get away with shit I have learned." At Jazz, Brock and Henry sit at the bar, and they have a drink, and Brock keeps his eye on his phone and shrugs with some nervousness "The usual." Javon walks inside and greets them, and ask "Room for me? My Mom just said to meet her here." Brock quips "As DA, maybe something could distract her." Henry gets a text from Ruthie, and says "Ruthie mentioned that it's getting quiet besides The Study." Javon asks "Who's there at the house?" Brock says "Gran, Gracie, Ruthie, and Davey." Javon tells him "It'll be successful for sure." At HaleCorp, Wade is in his office, as someone walks in, and says "I am here Dad." Wade gets up, and hugs his Son with Bridget, Logan Walsh and says "Welcome! Seen Mom?" Bridget meanwhile walks into Chantel's, greets Jared, and his Son, and says to Cain "How have you been?" Jared tells her "We were catching up. Trying to talk him into joining Landon-Hale." Cain asks his Father "So how long before your new flame starts with her?" glaring at his Father's former mistress. Jared warns his Son "Cain, we work together. Now knock it off with your Grandpas' attitude!" Cain gets up and says "I am going back to Mom's Place. Maybe see everyone over there. Heard from Ruthie and shit's about to get real. Maybe I can actually learn something." Jared goes "I am your Dad, and you need to just stay away from Xavier's!" Cain gets up and goes "Screw both of you!", and leaves in a fury, as Bridget asks "Problems still?" Jared tells her with anger "Xavier has already been working to turn my Son against me. The son of a bitch strikes again!"

     At City Hospital, Terrance's Memorial is over, and Willie, Aretha, Sayyid, and Rashad remain as they say one last goodbye. Outside, Beth, Frank, and Floyd talk outside in the hall, as Bree has left along with Ava and Jack. Floyd tells them "I just got a text from Tenny." Frank asks his Uncle "So are yall dating?" Beth laughs for a moment, as she tells them "Tell Alyssa and Ty to come visit me and Granny." Frank tells his Ex-Wife "I will do that." In Olivia's office, Olivia and Ginny talk, as Cale walks in and Olivia warns him "I know you are no longer my Son In Law. So now I can just.." Olivia slaps Ginny's Father across the face backhanded and goes "You have hurt my Ally, and you never get back around her you son of a bitch. Manwhore!" Cale yells "Ginny! Let's talk away from her." Ginny goes "Look you hurt my Mom and you moving down there will not help her Dad! Just stay here!" Olivia follows and walks by and says "Get out of town. I might tell Tenny.." Ginny hears her Grandmother, and says to him "Dad I don't trust you. And Mom has her hands full with Grandpa Davis!" Cale reminds his Daughter "I love you always. My home is yours. Literally!" Ginny is silent, as she tells him "I'll call you tonight and discuss more.", and leaves and Frank and Floyd bump into him, as Frank asks his Son "Well?" Cale goes "She hates the idea." Frank sighs "Me too Son, but it will be good for you, and she's alright with us." Cale hugs his Dad, as Floyd tells them "Let's go back for some drinks." Floyd, Frank, and Cale head back to The Farm. Beth greets Willie, Aretha, Rashad, and Sayyid inside Terrance's former office, and walks in and tells them "He was my best friend." They all hug as all of them cries together in mourning.

    At Whispering Hills, Ava and Jack return, and Jack asks his Mother "Now for you to tell me the big news you are keeping from me?" Ava tells her Son "Tenny found your Sister. She was adopted by Leigh's parents." Jack goes "Oh shit! Sully has filled me in and the others on them." Ava goes "I wonder why not me?" Jack tells her "Mom, Tenny likely would wanted to know for sure." Ava tells him "I regretted that, but my top priority was running a part of Sullivan's. Allan James was a rock star. I felt she deserved that, and I held her one time." Jack asks his Mother "Are you planning to try and bond with her? I want to be there since I'm moving." Ava pours a drink, and says "I know that and I know it is good, but I am going to miss you being here." Jack says "I've put the place up for sale and it'll be best and close enough to visit Dad and Sam, and be there for J.J.. It'll be great with Cale also moving." Ava says "If you say so, but I won't agree." She and Jack hug, as she cries and Jack says "I will be here still when needed. Uncle Xavier took care of all of that Mom!" At The Falcon, Faith calls Julia, now her adopted Mother, to no answer, and goes "I sure hope you don't test it Julia." Faith has a flashback and makes a phone call and goes to voicemail and says "Hope you have nice accommodations tonight bitch!" as she heads to a table.

Down the hill, Bobby and Thorpe has walked inside, as Storm and Country beat Daniel up, and Xavier, Leigh, and Bobby watch on, and says "This man robbed me blind once. He's done so called favors." Leigh yells "Ok. Stop a moment." Daniel yells angrily "What do you want with me?" Xavier speaks up and says "Don't ask bullshit questions!" Bobby goes "Prison is another. It's Leigh's call since she is your Daughter!" Xavier agrees, and asks her Wife "Leigh, what do you want him to do? How does he pay? This is your assurance always those nightmares are gone!" Daniel yells at his Daughter "Still lying!" Outside someone walks down a hill, as they use their phone and sees The Storm Shelter's light on, and walks towards it. Up the hill, Tenny asks her Great-Granddaughters "Did the two of you hear someone on that driveway pull up?" Gracie nods, as does Ruthie, and Gracie sighs "I'll go down the hill and see." Ruthie tells her "I'll stay here.." Tenny gets a text from Beth, and texts "Everything will be fine my sweet Beth." 

   At Chantel's, Logan and Wade walk in, as Bridget runs up to their Son with a hug, and Wade warns his Brother "Jared don't try me. I know this scene with my Wife and you. An affair. Now marriage!" Jared snaps back "We just work together damnit!" Wade snaps back angrily "Warn Connor to call you Daddy!" Logan steps in, as Bridget asks Wade "So wanna tell me about earlier with my Son?" Wade goes "The truth!" Logan sends a text meanwhile, to no answer. At Landon Hale, Russell Marx walks inside, and Clint goes Hello Governor." Russell says to him "I want to know where Thorpe is. Tell me. I am trying to beat this Addie Gore for the seat and half this town will regret that!" Clint goes "I don't know, but I would suggest calling your Daughter for some help. I hear Ava hired her at the new company Evans Mathis Publishing." Russell walks out, and makes a phone call. At HaleCorp, Bree walks in and is told "Wade's out." Bree sighs "Here is everything. Tell him to call me when he returns." Bree heads back to her Mansion.

   Back at Hell Hill, Ruthie and Tenny sit outside, Tenny sits back, and says with calm "All is about to be well." Down the hill, Leigh looks at her Father, as Xavier stands next to his Wife, along with Storm and Country, and Bobby and Thorpe, as Leigh looks at them, and then her Father and says "I want you gone." Bobby says "That can be arranged." Gracie walks in, as Daniel goes "And who is this?" Gracie walks to her Grandfather, and says "Screw you Daniel!" with a slap across the face, and yells again "I am innocent. Leigh has always used that lie!" Leigh snaps "Not a lie asshole! A fact!" Leigh pulls back out her pistol, and aims at him, as does Xavier, Storm. and Country, and Daniel yells at his Daughter "Look at you, you weak woman. You always had to make up stories and shit!" Gracie stands next to Bobby and Thorpe, as the door opens, and Leigh, Xavier, Bobby, and Thorpe's faces drop, as Daniel goes "Julia!" Julia aims her pistol and goes "Nobody kills my Husband and lives to tell!" Thorpe snarls "You tracked me, who thought this bastard Woods was dead hopefully!" Julia moves her aim, as Gracie is silent, and Xavier warns his Mother In Law "I'll finish you off!" Leigh snaps "Damnit!" As Julia yells "Your family is together dear. Is that not what you want. Your real family, without Xavier." Leigh screams "You are a narcissistic old bitch who needs to shut her mouth!" Bobby sends a text back to Monica, as a standoff takes place, aims moving.

And you will write whatever comes out!" Eve adds "I have heard rumblings." Aretha tells Russell "I hate you and always have for hurting Ava!" Summer warns "Don't go there!" Eve breaks things up, and tells Summer "Let her go home. And tell your Father he can kiss my ass!" Eve and Aretha walks out, and Russell assures her Daughter "I may not win, but I'll be home at least. Might just go back to my first love."

In Sully's office, Cain walks in and fills his Mother in, as Sully goes "Jared really is pushing me Son. I used to love him, and he and Bridget truly broke it." Cain grows angry, and says "Let me handle Dad." Sully warns him "You just want to be like my Daddy! You need to mature a lot to reach his standard, and mine. You have home with me, and this company one day is part of you." Cain smiles for a moment. At Hell Hill, Tenny and Ruthie sit in the living room, and Ruthie asks her Great-Great Grandmother "Turn the scanner down there on! I know Grandpa has one!"

How about you go back to wherever you moved from. Mom's little jewel. The perfect child in her and that sicko's eyes." Gracie takes her baby upstairs, as Xavier warns his Sister In Law "I want you out of my house. Leigh does not need you, she was over you." Faith goes "I am here to talk to my Sister whether you like it or not!" Leigh asks her "Want to tempt fate? I hate you Faith, our parents, Mona. My therapy was think all of you were dead, especially after Mona. Now leave. I feel like I'm in hell." Xavier goes "You heard her Faith. Leave. Don't return either or else you'll see the guest house." Faith tells her Brother In Law "You are a bastard Xavier!"

Grandma said it's about my Grandpa?" Tenny goes "Pa Ginny. Grand is an old term. I need not be reminded me and my children all get senior discounts!" Ruthie and Ginny laugh, as Ginny says "I'm on my way to the hospital. Best of luck." Ginny leaves, as Tenny tells her "Now Gran is going to listen to Beth, but we both know don't we?" Ruthie nods, and they head to Hell Hill. At City Hospital, Olivia greets Beth in her office, as they light each a joint, and Olivia tells her Sister In Law "Now I want to know what Tenny's test shows Beth! I can you know." Beth says "Did Allan ever tell you about his romp with Ava? Olivia nods, and goes "Tenny caught them..." Olivia asks "And she got pregnant?" Beth nods, and goes "Nobody besides Mama and I knew, and Allan and Ava did not want children. Ava was working with Mama and Aunt Ciarra at Sullivan's, and Allan was just taking off in rock music. Mama took the baby out of town for adoption. Not very far. I say for the rest, just let Ava tell you when she is ready." Olivia agrees, as they put out their joints, and heads down to the chapel.

Willie starts to cry, and Aretha walks into the living room, and all of them hug Willie, as she sighs "Let's go now." They head to City Hospital.

     At Jackson Inc, Sully arrives, and is greeted by her Brother, as Brock asks "Any updates?" Sully shrugs "No. But Grandma sent me a warning." Brock yells at her Sister "Damn Sully! When will we catch a break and find some peace. So much shit!" Sully agrees, and says "Brock, this is normal. You need to just see it for what it is." Brock asks "So what about Cain? Decided to leave him alone?" Sully says "I'm trusting him to mind his own business. I have spies." Sully asks, changing subjects "So what is up with Gracie's baby daddy? She hasn't talked to me." Brock says "I know as much as you do." In Javon's office meanwhile, Rachel greets him, and says "Welcome." Javon tells Rachel "I've worked for Jackson Inc for years, and started the media division." Rachel tells him "Well it is impressive, and I love that Brock has left Jazz to learn the ropes." Javon tells her "It'll be great for us, as he's got a lot of promise." Across the street at Landon-Hale, Bridget walks into Jared's office, and Jared tells her "Look at this list." Bridget looks, and says "The company is called Landon-Hale. So you put our Son, and Cain on the board of directors. Their legacy. With what I have in mind, Wade will be lucky to be able to buy a simple house unless he moves back to your family's house of terrors." Jared goes "Connor and I are not close, and leave it alone, but I will add him and I think there's nothing to worry about." In Clint's Office, Clint sits inside on the phone, and says "Oh really? Let's move."

     At HaleCorp, Wade is in his office, as he is furious, and says to himself "You are going to pay dearly if you want to take this!" Connor walks inside, and goes "Dad. We need to.." Wade yells "Look, I told you many times and go get a test done! Jared is your Dad!" Connor yells "Maybe! But you raised me, Dad!" Wade goes "Now that that bitch is about to steal me blind, I have no claim to you! So call me Wade, and leave me alone!" Connor asks "Is it because I am gay? I mean you were nervous about it." Wade answers bluntly "No that's not it! You are NOT my Son!" Connor tells his Father "I refuse a test. So forget it, Dad!" Connor heads out, as Wade makes a phone call, and says boldly "I said get your ass to Adam's Landing or I'm taking a flight up to kick your ass down here Son!" Back at Landon-Hale, Clint and Jared meet, as Bridget heads to her office, and Clint gleams with joy "My Son and Daughter are joining on!" Jared goes "So I have seen. I want mine on too." Clint asks "Is Cain ready?" Jared tells him boldly "He's perfect, and I will mold him to be greater than the almighty X!" Clint reminds him "You also have Ruthie." Jared goes "She hates me. She has avoided me since Sully and I's divorce. But Cain will learn he has a choice." Clint quips "Sounding like your Ex-Father In Law." Jared goes "Well I learned from him." In Thorpe's Office, Someone walks in, they look around, and a secretary walks by and asks "Who are you sir?" The man says "Luke Landon. I'm Thorpe's Son." The secretary says "He is gone right now. Want to visit later?" Luke looks around and says "I'll wait. I want some quiet." The secretary nods, and leaves. Thorpe's Son sits and sends a text.

   At Bobby's Home, Bobby walks out of his kitchen, with two drinks and says "The man has a lot of people wanting him gone." Thorpe says "Daniel Woods used to work for me when I had a firm up in Blue Ridge. Before keeping this ship in the right direction with Landon-Hale." Bobby warns Thorpe "Now if you want to consider trying to get on Xavier's good side, do not bring that topic up period." Thorpe asks "So what does he have planned?" At Hell Hill, Daniel is in the Storm Shelter, as Country sits and goes "Storm will be back after he changes clothes." Daniel snarls as Country looks at his phone "Julia is going to come after Xavier if anything happens to me!" Country coldly grabs him, and goes "Do not threaten my best friend I call Brother ever again or your time will be cut." Up the Hill, Xavier, Leigh, and Gracie stand, as Faith begs her Sister "I am telling you I went through the same thing you did Leigh! Remember you, me, and Mona sometimes sleeping together to keep each other safe?" Leigh cries, as Xavier's eyes turn red, and snarls "My Wife does not need to hear this Faith!" Leigh cries and says "I left that behind when I met Xavier. He saved me." The door opens, as Tenny and Ruthie walks in, and Ruthie tells her Grandparents "Gran and I would like to show you all something." Faith asks "What is this Tenny?" Tenny quips "Good news for Leigh. And maybe for you how you take it." Xavier and Leigh look at a copy, as does Gracie, and Faith, and snarls "Tenny I cannot believe you would stoop to this level!" Xavier says to Faith "My Mother's hospital never lies about these things. And my Grandma has never been wrong." Faith runs out, as Leigh looks at her family, and says with a bit of happiness "One thing to never believe again!" Gracie asks "What does it say?" Tenny exclaims "Faith Woods is a Sullivan! Ava and Allan's Daughter." Xavier asks "Does Ava know?" Tenny nods, as does Ruthie, and Xavier asks "And Mother?" Tenny says "Beth and I knew, but kept it between us besides the guilty parties." Xavier gets a text, as Leigh tells her "What is the plan then?" Tenny warns her "I want the two of you to bond now. Do you ever remember when your Mom left town?" Leigh nods, as Gracie listens along with Xavier, and says "Julia adopted a child, and claimed it to be Daniel's. She thinks its true, but now she knows the real truth." Leigh looks at her Husband, and says "Let's go down that hill." Xavier looks at his Grandmother, Granddaughter, and Daughter, and says "Tell Bobby where we are." Xavier and Leigh walk out, as Tenny tells Gracie and Ruthie "He's in trouble now for sure. Perfect for him!'

     At City Hospital, Beth and Olivia walk into the chapel, along with Ava, as they gather with Frank, Floyd, Bree, and Jack. Rashad walks over as he tell them "Thank you all for being here." Beth asks How is your Grandma?" Rashad says sadly "She is not handling it well as expected." Ava sees Aretha walk in and greets her and says "I have to tell you something huge." Aretha says "I'll be back at work tomorrow. Mama's not holding up well." Ginny arrives into the chapel, along with Sassy and Kyle. Sayyid walks his Sister into the chapel, with Eve on his other side, as Willie waves and says "I want to see my baby one last time." Rashad walks up to the casket, as Sayyid holds onto Willie, and Aretha also walks up, and Willie strokes Terrance's head, and kisses him gently, and cries loudly "My little boy is gone!" as her family helps her to their seats and Reverend Hyman closes the doors, and Terrance's Memorial begins, as Willie cries into her family's arms uncontrollably, screaming in tears "This is not real! This is not real!" as Aretha tightly holds her and goes 'I'm here Mama. We all are."
