   It's the next morning in Adam's Landing and at City Hospital,Terrance walks into Xavier's room,as he sees him and Leigh laying next to each other and Terrance tells them"Time to go home.I got your release papers."They awaken as they see Terrance and Xavier tells them"About damn time I go home!I got some things to do."Leigh looks at her husband and tells him"You are resting X!I don't even want to hear you mention a word about work!"Xavier rolls his eyes and changes subjects and asks Terrance"Where is my Mother?"Terrance tells them"She hasn't arrived yet.She told me to release you before you go mad."Xavier looks at his wife,as a nurse brings in a wheelchair and Xavier waves it off and tells Leigh"I'm out of here!"Xavier rushes out and Leigh shakes her head and tells Terrance"I think he's ready to get home."Terrance laughs and quips"He has a mind of his own."Leigh sighs"Scary isn't it?"Leigh changes subjects and asks Terrance"I want to talk to you about something?"Terrance looks at Leigh and asks"What is it?"Leigh asks him"Are you seeing anyone?"Terrance tells Leigh"I'm single.But in this town I lay low."Leigh tells Terrance"A dear friend of mine has come to town and I think the two of you would be a great fit."Terrance looks at Leigh and tells her"I don't do blind dates Leigh."Leigh looks at Terrance and tells him"Trust me on this.He needs someone and I want you to meet him tonight."Leigh tells him"He'll be waiting for you at Jazz.I wouldn't steer you wrong."Xavier returns to the room and asks his wife"Are you going to stay here?I want to go home!"Terrance laughs"He's in a rush."Leigh tells Terrance"Just try it and let me know how it works out."Leigh walks out,as Terrance heads to his office,as he considers Leigh's proposal.
   At Hell Hill,Beth is in the kitchen,cooking breakfast as Sully and Jared arrives and Beth tells them"I'm staying home today and keep a close eye on your Father."Sayyid walks downstairs and smells breakfast and asks Beth"I didn't know you were a cook?"Beth tells Sayyid"One of the best!I made sure everything met your diet."Sayyid tells Beth"I appreciate that very much.It looks like you got a buffet set down here."Beth laughs"I am having a welcome home party for my son and I thought I'd go all out."Sully looks and asks her Grandmother"Fried Chicken?That isn't morning food?"Beth reminds her"Your Father has never been a breakfast person either.And Floyd is here so I thought I'd go all out this morning."Speaking of Floyd,he's in the living room,as he's awake after sleeping on the couch and sees an address book on the coffee table and looks up Ciarra's address and says to himself"Ciarra Sullivan."He makes a phone call to a florist and tells them"Send a bouquet of roses to Ciarra Sullivan's Penthouse in Jackson Tower.But don't say who sent them."Floyd hangs up the phone and walks into the kitchen and sees Sayyid and goes Clemmon Ross?"Sayyid looks at Floyd and asks"Floyd Jackson.Damn it's been years and you still look like your brother."Floyd puts on his cowboy hat and quips"I get that often."Floyd looks around and asks Beth"Are you planning a family reunion?"as he notices all the food she's cooked and Beth tells him"I thought I'd play in the kitchen and Xavier and Leigh are on their way home."Sully tells her Grandmother"I think Daddy will be impressed.Who else is coming?"Beth tells them"It's going to be intimate since he needs to rest after all that's happened."Sully quips"Good luck with that one."All of them laughs as Xavier and Leigh arrives home.
   At Ciarra and Tenny's Penthouse,Tenny and Precious sits in the kitchen as Tenny smokes a cigarette and reads over Beth and B.R's wedding certificate and she still fumes over with anger,as Ciarra walks into the kitchen and pours herself a cup of coffee and takes a couple of aspirin.Tenny asks"Did you have too much to drink last night?"Ciarra rolls her eyes as she sees the wedding certificate and tells her sister"I had some champagne last night.And knowing you're sitting here plotting only makes this slight headache worse."Tenny yells"Beth didn't even tell me about this Ciarra!Why didn't she tell me that she and old man Jackson tied the knot?"Ciarra looks at her sister and responds"After the way you responded,that should be an answer!"Tenny looks at Ciarra and hisses"Oh shut up Ciarra!"Ciarra changes subjects and asks Tenny"Are you going to the grand opening of Jazz tonight?"Tenny tells Ciarra"I am planning to go.I want to see Allan perform again and I plan to attend.Are you going?"Ciarra tells her sister"After acquiring Emery's,I need to get ready to get the company back on solid ground again.Ava and I are going to meet this morning and discuss everything.Meanwhile there's a knock at the door and Ciarra tells Tenny"Go answer the door.I think it's Allan."Tenny goes to the door,as she leaves Beth and B.R.'s wedding certificate on the table,and Ciarra picks it up and puts it in her purse as Tenny returns to the kitchen with a boquet of red roses and asks her sister"Somebody has an admirer."Ciarra looks at the card and reads it and says to herself"There's no name on here."Tenny laughs"Looks like you've caught someone's eye."Ciarra is puzzled and tells Tenny"I'm headed off to meet with Ava.You stay out of trouble today."Tenny responds with a smile"I always do Oldest Sister.I've got an appointment at the ALPD."Ciarra heads out and Tenny walks back over to the kitchen table and notices the wedding certificate and photo gone,and shakes her head and tells Precious"Aunt Ciarra made a mistake."
   Meanwhile at the ALPD,Brock Jr,Tommy,and Chant are brought into Bobby's office as Bobby looks at them and asks with a laugh"How are all of you enjoying your stay here in this nice facility?"Brock Jr yells at Bobby"I am innocent!So is Tommy!The one in here that's guilty is Chant Hale."Chant looks at Brock Jr and Tommy and laughs"I didn't vandalize The Sullivan Estate and my hands are clean."Brock Jr yells"You did rape my niece though you sick bastard and you should pay for that with your life!"Bobby gets frustrated and yells at all of them"Shut the hell up!All of you are guilty.All of you are about to pay for what you've done with your freedom and we're having the arraignment shortly and all of you can change your addresses to Unity Prison for life!"Cara walks inside and tells Bobby"I see you're the DA now?"Bobby looks at her and says"Damn right I am and these bastards are guilty as hell."Cara tells Bobby"I know Brock Jr and Tommy are but you don't know that Chant is behind what happened."Chant looks at Cara and smiles"I missed you."Cara slaps him and says"I wish you were truly dead."Bobby looks at Cara and asks"So how's your Mother?Has she been found and arrested yet?"Cara yells"That blackmail isn't going to work now Bobby!You got in the District Attorney's seat due to your connections and it's unethical and I would love to see how the State would react to the way you are running things."Bobby warns Cara"You need to be more concerned about your Mother going away to prison for the rest of her life,as well as your Father."Bobby tells everyone"We have an arraignment to go to and with the way things look,none of you stand a chance."Cara tells Chant"Now that I'm here,you have nothing to worry about."Chant smiles as the officer arrives and takes Chant,Brock Jr,and Tommy to the Courthouse,as Cara tells Bobby"Xavier Jackson isn't the king of Adam's Landing!"Bobby tells Cara"I am going to prosecute the hell out of them.Things work differently in Adam's Landing."Bobby heads out as Cara follows.
  Back at Hell Hill,Ava and Winston arrives as does Ciarra as Xavier is welcomed home and everyone gathers in the dining room as Cale,Allison,Allan,and Olivia also arrives and Sully asks her Grandmother"I thought you were planning something intimate?'Beth tells Sully"I'm full of surprises also."Ava sees Floyd for the first time in many years and Floyd sees his niece as they hug and Floyd looks at Winston and asks Ava"I take it you're into older men?"Ava laughs"Uncle Floyd..he's taken good care of me."Floyd offers his condolences on the loss of Jack and Ava thanks him and Everyone sits down as they have breakfast and Floyd asks"Where's Ruth and Frank at?"Ava tells him"Ruth,Frank,Bree,and Summer are at the Courthouse.Today's the Arraignment for Junior,Tommy,and Chant Hale."Jared tells everyone"I hope everything goes well and they don't get off."Xavier tells him"I don't think we have anything to worry about.The Jackson family has controlled this town for a long time and that won't change anytime soon!"Meanwhile Floyd sits next to Ciarra and looks at her with stars in his eyes and Ciarra looks at him and asks Floyd"You've been watching me since I came in the room."Floyd tells Ciarra"I admire a beauty when I see one.You have class.I like that."Ciarra tells Floyd"Are you trying to flirt?If you are,you're wasting your time.I don't intend to fall in love again."Floyd has a look of rejection as Ciarra adds"I lost the love of my life a few months back.We were married for 60 years and nobody can replace Jacob."Floyd is quiet and tells Ciarra"My condolences for your loss Ms.Sullivan."Meanwhile everyone finishes breakfast and Winston tells Xavier"I'm about to head down to the Courthouse to watch my son get his due."Xavier tells Winston"I'd go with you,but I'm forbidden to leave the house."Beth tells her son"I think you have nothing to worry about."Leigh tells her husband"You rest and go spend some time with Gracie and Little X.They've missed you."Xavier asks Leigh"Where are you going?"Leigh and Sully tells him"We're headed down to Class to meet up with Marco Cavetti."Xavier tells them with a laugh"That's ok.I can sit here and relax today."Ava hugs her brother and tells him"You do that and don't worry about a thing.I got Jackson Inc taken care of,and I've already made the donation to the ALPD."Xavier looks at Ava and says to his sister"I'm proud of you sis."Ava hugs her brother and tells him"I'm just glad you're alive."Ava heads to Jackson Inc,and everyone clears out except for Beth,Floyd,Sayyid and Ciarra and as Beth tells her son to go upstairs and rest,Ciarra hands Beth her wedding certificate and wedding photo,as Floyd and Sayyid watches on and Ciarra warns her niece"Be on the lookout for Tennessee.I got lucky when I snatched this from the kitchen table."Beth quips"I take it she has been reading it intently."smelling cigarette smoke."Ciarra gives Beth a hug,as she heads to the Courthouse and Beth tells her Aunt"I hope those bastards get sent away for life!"Ciarra nods and agrees as she leaves and Floyd asks Beth"Why are Winston,Jared,and Ciarra going to the Courthouse?"Beth tells him"Junior,Tommy,and Chant Hale burned out Aunt Ciarra and Mama's former mansions in Blue Ridge and desecrated my Daddy and Uncle Jacob's graves."Floyd shakes his head in disgust and sighs"The more I hear about that bastard and his son,the more angry I get."Beth tells him"Junior is a bastard.I hope he pays for what he's done."Beth heads upstairs,and Floyd walks into the living room and makes a phone call to the Construction Company he formerly owns and tells them"I got a project for you.I want you to go to Blue Ridge and restore The Sullivan Estate."Beth overhears Floyd and looks on silently,as she noticed earlier his attraction to Ciarra.
   At The Adam's Landing Courthouse,Ruth,Frank,Bree,and Summer arrives,as Tenny is there and she sees them and asks"Are all of you here to support that sorry ass excuse you all call son,brother,uncle?"Ruth looks at Tenny and warns her"I'm in no mood to deal with you!"Aretha arrives a few moments later,as she's covering the upcoming trial and a few moments later,Winston and Jared arrives as does Ciarra.Summer meanwhile is quiet and nervous,as she's about to face the man who raped her and Bree and Frank assures her"Your family's here Summer.Don't be afraid."Ruth hugs her Granddaughter as she tells her"Bobby will make damn sure none of them see the outside of a jail cell again."Bobby walks out of the Courtroom and tells everyone"The judge is ready."Cara arrives and sees Winston and Jared and ignores them as she rushes inside and everyone goes inside except for Tenny.Ciarra heads to the door to enter the Courtroom,and Tenny grabs her arm and asks her sister"Where's that wedding certificate Ciarra?"Ciarra looks at Tenny and tells her sister"It's where it belongs Tennessee!Let's focus on seeing to it Chant Hale,Brock Jr,and Tommy will pay for what they did to our home in Blue Ridge."Tenny slaps her sister and hisses angrily"You've made a bad mistake Ciarra."Ciarra looks at her sister and responds sternly"You are making the mistakes Tennessee.If you go through with your vendetta,you will lose Beth!"Ciarra walks inside and Tenny follows,as they take their seats,as The Judge walks in as he calls the arraignment to order.

   Meanwhile at Jazz,Aretha and her cousin Keith are in his office,discussing Rich Carroll and Aretha tells her cousin"Something isn't right with Rich.I know he has started a chain of restaurants and he's sitting on a gold mine."Keith asks Aretha"Do you think he's got Allan's copyrights and masters to his music catalog?"Aretha looks at Keith and quips"You're a singer.You know how the music business works,you tell me what you think?"Keith tells Aretha"I smell a rat."Aretha quips"I do too and when Jazz opens tomorrow,maybe then we'll get some answers."Keith tells Aretha"I think I'm going to keep my eyes and ears open and see what I can find out.I never trusted Rich Carroll as far as I could throw him."Aretha tells Keith"The same can be said about you also.You sold out as soon as you hit the big time and left your family behind.Your Father hasn't forgotten that."Keith sighs and says in a tone of frustration"And he won't ever let me get over it either.I know I messed up and I don't think I can make up for it."Aretha gets suspicious and asks Keith"Why is that?"Jermaine arrives and Keith tells Aretha"I got to discuss some things with Jermaine.I'll catch up with you tomorrow night."Aretha gives Keith and Jermaine a suspicious look and on the way out,she whispers to Jermaine"I'm glad you're Latoya's Father.Be a damn man and be there for her."Aretha then tells Keith"Don't worry cuz,I plan on being here,as does the entire family."Keith rolls his eyes as Aretha leaves and Keith asks Jermaine"So where did you go?"Jermaine walks behind the bar and pours a drink and tells Keith"I went back to see Latoya,but then I left."Keith looks at his friend and tells him"Allan is different than us.Don't worry about Latoya,focus on the money we're about to make."Jermaine looks at Keith and tells him"I'm going to make it up to her for not being there.I heard her singing while I was outside and I want you to hire her to sing down here."Keith rolls his eyes and asks Jermaine"Are you crazy?Letting Sassy's Daughter sing here?Hell no!"Jermaine warns him"I also own Jazz and mind you I gave up my own singing career to manage you.She's going to sing here and be a part of this whether you like it or not so get the hell over it!"Jermaine takes a drink and leaves and Keith rolls his eyes and suddenly has a flashback to his break in the music business and has a thought and says to himself"That can't ever come out.If it does,I am a dead man!"
   Back at The Farm,Floyd and Frank stands at the fence and discuss their past with B.R. and Frank tells his Uncle"You know how my Daddy was.He was set in his ways and nothing ever pleased him.All he worried about was Jackson Inc and Junior."Floyd looks at Frank and reminds him sternly"And why was that Frank?That bastard was a leech and so was Jamie.The two of them caused so much damage to the family.Brock and Ruth divorced over it."Frank reminds Floyd"Have you forgotten that Daddy slept with Beth and had a son with her named Xavier?"Floyd looks at Frank and reminds him"You had a child with another woman also Frank.And I am not going to say I never made any mistakes myself.I made a lot of them.Helen and I had our problems also because I had the same problem that runs in our bloodline.I did Helen wrong and I kick myself for that and after she died,I lost touch with our two children.I moved on though and met a lady in Mexico and we got together and it upset the kids,and we don't speak,but I have found some content in my life these days."Frank asks his Uncle"So you found another woman after Aunt Helen died?"Floyd nods and tells Frank"She died during childbirth and I got the greatest gift I've ever had.That's the moment I woke up and realized that I had a child that needed me,and she turned out great.She doesn't know that I came to town though and when she finds out,she's going to kick my ass."Frank laughs and Floyd looks at his nephew and tells him"You are a good man Frank.I know it was hard to get along with your Daddy,but you did make him proud with your racing career and being a success."Frank hugs his Uncle and Ruth walks outside and tells them"Dinner is ready!Get inside here before it gets cold!"Floyd and Frank heads inside.
   At The Sunset Club,Ava,Winston,Ciarra,Burt,Bree,and Sully and Jared gather in The Jackson Room,as Ava tells them"I think today has been a true success!Xavier will be very happy with what we have accomplished with acquiring Emery's and saving a Blue Ridge institution."Ava pours everyone a glass of champagne,as Sully has water since she can't have alcohol since she's had a heart transplant and they all toast and Ava tells them"Long live Jackson Inc and my brother.And may there finally be some peace in our family."Everyone celebrates as Bobby walks in and tells everyone"I have heard about the Emery's deal.Great work."Ava pours Bobby a drink and he tells everyone"It looks like Jackson Inc is doing fine without me there."Burt tells Bobby"It isn't the same though that you're not there anymore."Bree nudges Burt and says to him"I'm there now and I can handle the pressure."Bobby tells Bree"You will do great."Winston asks Bobby"How's everything going at the ALPD?How's Chant and Junior holding up?"Bobby laughs"I got all of them in solitary confinement and Junior's been crying every time I have visited him,pleading his innocence."Ava quips"We know he isn't innocent of a damn thing nor is Chant.They deserve to be in there.And I hope they get sent away to Unity Prison soon and this time for good."Bobby tells them"I'm arranging everything right now and I plan to try them at once so it can be over and done with.Tomorrow I'll be meeting with the judge and getting everything arranged.Once Xavier's released,then we'll plan on where to go from there."Ava tells Bobby"We already got a nice check ready to donate to the ALPD to put their asses behind bars for life."Bobby warns them"Chant has a lawyer that is coming and this one will be hard.I can promise that Brock Jr and Tommy are going to be locked up,but Chant will be another story."Jared and Winston tells Bobby,as they know he's talking about Cara Del Mar"Just tell her about the SEC and she will back off."Bobby laughs,as he takes a drink"I already knew about that one.I got them ready.Justice will be served and that is a damn promise."Everyone toasts once again as they look forward to the future and thankful of Xavier's survival.
   Meanwhile Aretha has returned home and finds Willie sitting up waiting for her and asks Aretha"I take it you've had a busy day today?"Aretha tells her Mother"I have and tomorrow night Jazz opens."Willie rolls her eyes and says"Keith's new nightclub?"Aretha nods and tells her"We're going down there and check it out.Terrance has already told me he's planning to go and Rashad is planning to bring Latoya."Willie looks at her daughter and sternly tells her"I have no interest going down to my nephew's club.After the way he's done his family over the years,count me out."Aretha tries to persuade her Mother and Willie stands her ground and tells Aretha"Keith won't see me down there and I highly doubt his Father will be there either.That's that and now that you're home,I'm going to bed!Night."Aretha asks Willie"Where's Rashad?"Willie tells her"He's staying at Sassy's with Latoya.Beth's at Hell Hill tonight with Clem.Floyd Jackson is back in town."Aretha asks"B.R.'s twin?"Willie nods and heads upstairs to bed and Aretha pulls out her laptop as she gets on the search engine and types in her cousin's name and notices something and says to herself"Looks like cuz is hiding something big and this will destroy him if it ever comes out."
   At Hell Hill,Beth's upstairs in the nursery with Gracie and Xavier Jr,as she's sent Latoya and Rashad home for the evening and Beth tells Sayyid"Tomorrow Xavier will be home and this place will finally feel right again."Sayyid tells Beth"I have meant to visit him but.."Beth looks at Sayyid and says"You have done a great job keeping an eye on the estate and my Grand babies.He will understand."Sayyid asks Beth"Are you going to the Grand Opening of Jazz tomorrow?"Beth tells him"I have thought about it.I'd like to see Allan back on stage again.Are you going?"Sayyid tells Beth as he shakes his head"I have a job to do here and I am going to either stay here or visit Willie."Beth tells Sayyid"I think you should go down there.At least since your son owns it and support him."Sayyid tells Beth"I think it's best I don't and I'm going to call it a night."Sayyid heads to his room and Beth puts the babies down to sleep as she hears Floyd pull up outside.She walks downstairs and Floyd walks in and takes off his cowboy hat and Beth asks him"Did Ruth cook for you?"Floyd laughs"Yes she did and she didn't lose her touch in the kitchen."Beth smiles and tells Floyd"I'm going to bed and prepare for Xavier's release tomorrow.Make yourself comfortable."As Beth heads upstairs,Floyd asks her"Who was the young woman that came to see Xavier when I was leaving?"Beth looks at Floyd and asks"That was my Aunt Ciarra."Floyd is quiet for a moment and tells Beth"I was just curious."Beth heads upstairs as Floyd says to himself"Ciarra.Now that's a classy lady."He heads into Xavier's study and pulls open a drawer in his desk and sees a folder and pulls on it and walks into B.R.'s vault and sits inside for a moment as he looks around and takes a jar of moonshine and opens it and looks up as he sees a photo album on a shelf and looks through it and sees pictures of himself and B.R. as kids and throughout the years and Floyd looks up and says with tears in his eyes"I'm back home Brock."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 162. A Familiar Stranger

  At Hell Hill,Latoya looks at the man standing at the doorway and she is speechless and freaked out and the man asks her"Where's your boss?"Latoya looks at the man and tells him"Mr.Jackson is currently in the hospital.He had an AVM rupture in his stomach."The man asks Latoya"I take it he's moved on too?",as he notices the baby bottles in the floor."Latoya isn't sure what to say as the man tips his cowboy hat and walks out of the house and gets into his pickup truck,as he drives to City Hospital.Rashad meanwhile comes downstairs as he sees Latoya standing in the living room and comments"You look like you've seen a ghost?"Latoya tells Rashad"I have no idea.There was a cowboy standing in the living room and he looked just like B.R. Jackson."Rashad gives his girlfriend a strange look,as he tells her"B.R. is dead."They head to the kitchen together as she washes Gracie and Xavier Jr's bottles and fills them with milk as they go back upstairs to the nursery.
  Meanwhile at Chantel's,Ruth arrives and Davis sits at a table with Olivia as he gets up to greet Ruth and they exchange a hug,as Ruth's known Davis Lane for many years.Olivia asks Ruth"So you're moving full time to Adam's Landing?"Ruth looks at Olivia and says with a laugh"I am."Ruth gives Davis the deed to her condo as they make a deal and Olivia looks at her Father and asks him"Are you sure you really want to move to Southpoint Beach?With Desi gone and her family,I'd really wish you would stay here."Ruth's nose itches again and she tells Davis"I'm headed to The Farm now.You two need some time together alone."Davis tells Ruth"You haven't changed at all Ruth Jackson."Ruth tells Davis"I hate it about what happened to you and Virginia.Beth always said Desi was selfish and I never wanted to believe it,but turns out she was right."Davis and Ruth hugs as Ruth heads home,and Davis looks at his daughter and tells her"I got a plane ticket to leave town tonight.My days are over here in Adam's Landing."Olivia looks at him and says tearfully"I certainly understand why you want to leave town Daddy,but I was hoping you'd live with Allan and me."Davis tells Olivia"You are a strong lady and I would like to spend my twilight years sitting on the oceanfront.Just remember you have a place to come to if things get too crazy here or if your sister ever pops up again."Olivia and Davis hugs as he tells his Daughter"It's time for me to go to my new home."Olivia asks"Would you like for me to drive you to the airport?"Davis responds"After spending all those years in that nursing home,I think I would like to take care of myself."Davis grabs his luggage and turns and looks at Olivia,as he gets into his taxi to head to Adam's Landing International Airport,and tells her"I'm proud of you.Thank you for setting me free.I love you."Olivia watches on as the taxi drives away and starts to cry,as she says to herself"Damn you Desi."Olivia heads out and calls Allan,but doesn't get an answer,and she heads to visit Allison at her apartment.
   At City Hospital,Beth sits in her office,as she is disgusted over what Tenny has found and she looks at a picture of B.R. and says to him"My Mama never did like your family.I just don't understand her.She's really gotten honery in her old age."Outside the hall,the man that was just at Hell Hill hears Beth's voice,and walks into her office and takes off his cowboy hat and looks at Beth and says"Time has paused and you are still just as beautiful as ever."Beth is stunned as she looks up and yells"Floyd!What are you doing here?"Beth and Floyd hugs as Floyd asks Beth"I see Brock didn't move to Blue Ridge and the two of you have a nanny now."Beth looks at Floyd and tells him"Your brother never made the move to Blue Ridge.He was murdered about a year ago by Junior."Floyd Jackson is B.R.'s twin brother and Floyd looks at Beth and asks her"Junior killed Brock?"Beth looks at Floyd and says sadly"Yes he did and Xavier knows now about B.R. being his Father and my Mama knows about B.R. and I getting married shortly before his death."Floyd takes out a tissue and wipes his eyes as he starts to cry and tells Beth"I've felt like something has been wrong for some time.My heart has hurt and now I know the reason.I am glad to know he had you and Xavier in his last few years.I am disappointed though how his kids shunned him."Beth tells Floyd"I know the feeling but Ruth's in town and Ava has returned."Floyd's eyes widen as he asks"Ruth moved back to town?I'd never thought that would have happened."Beth tells him"She did and she doesn't know about B.R. and I exchanging vows nor does Xavier."Floyd shakes his head and reminds Beth"If I remember correctly,your son takes after my brother."Beth sighs"He does and B.R. was ready to tell him the truth,but Junior took away the chance."Floyd shakes his head in disgust and changes subjects and asks Beth"So how is Xavier?I heard from the nanny that he's in here?"Beth tells Floyd"Let's go visit him.He would love this."Floyd smiles and tells Beth"I have a lot to catch up on."Beth quips"Ever heard of phones or Internet?"Floyd stops and looks at Beth and says"I quit keeping up with modern technology when I sold my Construction business.All I do now is raise my horses out at my ranch."Beth laughs as they head to Xavier's room.
   Meanwhile at Jazz,Allan is inside as he and Keith talk about the music business and Jermaine returns and looks at Keith and Allan quips at Jermaine"Looks like you've been shaken up a bit?"Jermaine rolls his eyes and tells Keith and Allan"I met Latoya Shane today.Turns out she's my daughter."Keith laughs"Now you have to deal with his wrath."Jermaine tells Keith"Latoya doesn't want anything to do with me.I think it may be best."Allan tells Jermaine"I found my daughter recently and it wasn't easy at the beginning,but in time we have formed a relationship.It's tough,but you have to make the effort.You have to prove to her you want to be there for her."Keith looks at Allan and laughs"You got a daughter too?Damn you must have got around as much as we did back in the day."Allan tells them"The business can build you and destroy you.That's why I disappeared.I couldn't deal with it anymore.But I am ready to make my comeback."Keith tells Allan"I haven't heard from Rich yet.He seems to have disappeared."Allan tells Keith and Jermaine"I called him the other day and didn't get in touch with him."Keith tells Allan"After you left the game,he went solo and had success for many years.He was a real sellout."Jermaine is silent and Keith yells at Jermaine"Stop worrying about Latoya!She don't want you around,then don't worry about it!Think about all the cash we're about to make!"Jermaine yells at Keith"I have a conscience Keith!Allan is right and I need to be there for her!Your Father's right.I owe her and I intend to make up for not being there."Jermaine leaves and Allan checks his phone and sees a missed call from Olivia and tells Keith"I'm headed back home.When are you planning to have the grand opening?"Keith tell him"Tomorrow night.I'm going to see what's up with Rich because something doesn't add up."Allan looks at Keith and tells him"I was successful before Rich,and I can be successful without Rich.We're going to be the new hot spot in Adam's Landing after tomorrow!"Allan heads out and Keith shakes his head and says to himself"Allan James has settled down,wow."He them makes a phone call and tells them"I want you to come down here.I need some information."
  At The Farm,Ruth returns and finds Frank,Bree,and Summer sitting in the living room as Ruth asks"Has any of you heard from Floyd yet?"Frank looks at his Mother and laughs"You're nose is still itching isn't it?"Ruth tells them"Every time it does,Floyd comes to town and I haven't seen him for over 20 years."Frank tells his Mother"Uncle Floyd didn't come to town when Daddy passed away and I didn't know how to get in touch with him.Daddy was the only one who had his number and we know how Uncle Floyd is."Bree and Summer are curious and asks Ruth and Frank"Isn't Uncle Floyd Grandpa's twin brother?"Frank tells them"He is.He and I were similar.We made it on our own and he was an innovator in the construction business.He worked on the interstates and he and Daddy did some work together as well.He would come around often until he retired and closed himself off from the world."Ruth sighs and says"He never got over Helen.Last time I heard from him,he was out west,living on a huge horse ranch."Frank sighs and tells them"I have been so tempted to look for him but I haven't known where to start.Daddy and I never did speak much and he was the only one who knew where Uncle Floyd was."Ruth tells her family"He is going to be upset when he finds out about B.R.."Meanwhile Bree asks everyone"Who'd like to go to dinner at The Sunset Club?Jackson Inc acquired Emery's today and Ava and Winston are throwing a celebratory dinner."Summer tells her sister"I think I'd just like to stay here.I'm not ready to go out yet."Ruth and Frank also turns down Bree's offer as they tell her"We're going to sit this one out.With Floyd being in town,and with what's happened to Summer,we just want to be with her."Summer tells her Grandmother and Uncle"The two of you don't have to stay here on my account."Ruth tells Summer"I don't want you to be alone right now sweetie."Frank tells Bree"You go and enjoy yourself.This will make Xavier feel better about the Emery's acquisition and I would just like to take it easy a bit.It's not often this time of year there isn't a race."Bree understands and hugs her family and heads to her room to get dressed.
   Back at City Hospital,Leigh,Sully and Jared are in Xavier's room as he is growing restless sitting in his hospital bed and tells them"I am ready to go home!"Leigh tells her husband"You're going nowhere X until the doctor tells you that you can go home!"Xavier quips"If Mother is correct,that will be tomorrow!"Beth walks in Xavier's room with a smile and tells everyone"Somebody's here to see you son."Xavier looks at his Mother with suspicion as Floyd walks into Xavier's room and Xavier sees his Uncle and goes"Uncle Floyd?What are you doing back in Adam's Landing?"Floyd walks over and shakes Xavier's hand and looks at Leigh and tips his hat and tells her"I remember seeing your pictures in the modeling magazines.And you are still alive?"Beth tells them"I've filled him in on everything that has happened."Floyd walks over to Sully and tells his Great-Niece"You look just like your Mama.I hear you have inherited that Jackson work ethic as well?"Leigh laughs"Your nephew took after his Father and Sully took after her Daddy.It's a hard job keeping up with them."Floyd laughs as he looks at Jared and tells him"You have your hands full with her.Especially if she takes after Xavier."All of them laughs for a moment as Floyd asks Xavier"So I hear you're in charge of the family company now?"Xavier tells him"I am.But since I'm recovering,Ava and Burt Corbin are running things until I return."Floyd looks at Xavier and tells him"I am comforted knowing that you are in charge of Brock's estate.You have done him proud and it makes me proud as well."Xavier humbly tells him"That means a lot to come from you."Floyd tells Xavier"I'm glad to know Ava has gotten back to herself and that she's in town."Xavier asks Floyd"So when are you going to visit Grandma and Frank?"Floyd looks down and tells everyone"That's my next stop when I leave here.Since she's here,I don't want her to scratch her nose off."Everyone laughs and Floyd tells Leigh,Sully,and Jared"It's my honor to meet all of you and you take good care of Xavier."All of them assure him"Somebody has to."Floyd tips his hat and walks out as Beth follows him and outside Xavier's room,Floyd asks Beth"So when will you tell him about your marriage to my brother?He needs to know."Beth tells Floyd"I will when he gets better.He's already been through so much.Just don't tell Ruth or Frank.Let's leave that in the past."Floyd tells Beth"I think that's wise,but tell your son."Beth tells Floyd"After you visit Ruth and Frank,you can stay at Hell Hill and make yourself at home.I'll cook you dinner if Ruth doesn't."Floyd tells Beth"I will be back at Brock's estate tonight."Floyd leaves and Ciarra walks down the hall towards Xavier's room,as she bumps into Floyd and Ciarra looks up as Floyd stares at her and says to her"Pardon me."Ciarra looks at him and sees Beth and asks her"He looks familiar.Beth tells her Aunt"That's B.R.'s twin brother Floyd."Meanwhile,Floyd looks at Ciarra and has stars in his eyes and says to himself"I think I may stay here in town for awhile."
   Meanwhile,Allan arrives at Allison's apartment and finds Olivia there with Allison ans Cale and Olivia asks Allan"Where have you been today?"Allan tells Olivia"I've been down at Jazz with Keith and Jermaine.They're planning to open tomorrow night."Olivia asks Allan"Have you gotten in touch with Rich yet about reuniting the band?"Allan shakes his head and tells her"I haven't heard anything from him."Olivia hugs Allan and tells him"Daddy left town.I just called the airport and his flight has taken off."Allison tells her Mother"It isn't like he's moving to another country he's only in Southpoint Beach."Olivia sighs and tells her daughter"I know Ally,but Desi took him away from his family and I just hope wherever she is,she stays there."Cale quips"I doubt we'll ever see her again!"Olivia looks at them and says"She'd be really stupid to try to come back to town after all she and her family has done.I just hate her!"Allan holds Olivia as she is emotional and tells Allan"I feel so bad for my Daddy after all he's endured due to her selfishness."Allan assures Olivia"She's gone now.Don't worry about her."Allison and Cale agree and Olivia tells them"I'll try,but if she shows up in Adam's Landing again,I'll kill her!"Allan tells Olivia"I think you need to relax.Let's go home."Olivia and Allan leaves,and Cale looks at Allison and asks"Want to start where we left off earlier?"Allison and Cale head to the bedroom and begin to make love.
   At Hell Hill,Sassy has returned and Sayyid greets her at the door and Sassy asks him"How's Latoya?"Sayyid tells her"She's holding up well.There was a visitor earlier that spooked her.But otherwise she's ok."Sassy heads upstairs to the nursery as Latoya and Rashad holds Gracie and Xavier Jr and Latoya sings to the babies and Sassy tells her daughter"I love to hear your voice.The voice of an angel."Latoya tells her Mother"It keeps them quiet and my little one quiet as well."Sassy smiles as she tells Sayyid and Rashad"My little girl is growing up into a fine young woman."Rashad sighs and looks at Latoya and says with love in his eyes"She's very strong.I am surprised she took everything as well as she did."Meanwhile,Jermaine stands at the door at Hell Hill and thinks back to what Sayyid told him earlier and says to himself"He's right.I do owe them."At Jazz,Keith sits in his office,as he reads some papers and Aretha walks into his office and asks her cousin"What do you want?"Keith asks Aretha"What do you know about Rich Carroll?"

   Meanwhile at Jackson Inc,Ava,Burt,Bree,Jared,and Ciarra are in Xavier's office discussing the plans for the acquisition of Emery's when Winston walks inside and all of them turns around as Ava asks Winston"Hale Corp was the other bidder?"Winston looks at them and says"I was going to buy a wedding present for my soon to be wife.That was my reasons behind it."Jared asks his Grandfather in a serious tone"You're not reverting back to your old ways again are you?"Winston tells all of them bluntly"I seen where Emery's was on the market and I had no idea Jackson Inc was going after it."Ava looks at Winston and tells him"You don't know a damn thing about running a Department Store!I've got more experience in that area than you do Winston."Ciarra looks at Ava and reminds her"Don't forget me Ava."Winston tells Ava"I know I don't Ava.I just wanted to give you something since I know you're not going back to work at Class.I wanted to surprise you,but I failed."Burt is quiet,as is Bree as Ava asks Winston"So what's it going to be?Are you going to give up your bid?"Ava sternly looks at Winston and says"It's either that or our wedding is off!"Winston looks at all of them and pulls out his phone and turns the speaker on so everyone can hear him as he makes the call to his banker,as he tells him"Cancel the bid for Emery's.Someone else is more interested."The banker asks Winston in a stunned tone"Are you serious?"Winston tells him sternly"I said cancel it!"The banker tells Winston"I will but you're making a mistake."Winston responds"You're making the mistake if you don't do as I say!"Winston hangs up the phone and tells everyone"Emery's is yours."Ava tells Winston"You surprise me more and more every day."Winston kisses Ava and tells her"I just wanted you to have something to keep you occupied."Ava smiles and Ciarra tells Ava"I think you've got him wrapped around your finger."Ava quips"I think so."Winston looks at Ava and asks her"Let's get out of here and celebrate."Ava and Winston hold hands as they walk out and Ciarra tells Burt,Bree,and Jared"Emery's will be a great asset to Jackson Inc.It will keep me distracted and it will be good for Ava as well."All agree as Ciarra leaves and Jared tells them in shock"Wow!Grandfather really wasn't trying to pull a fast one."Burt tells his nephew"I think he's truly changed."Jared responds"I think so too."Jared calls Sully and tells Burt and Bree"I'm going back to the hospital.I want to make sure my wife isn't down there plotting with my Father in law."Burt laughs and quips"You better head down there quickly then."Jared leaves,and Burt stares at Bree and says"That was productive.Bree looks at Burt and says"It was.It really was."They stare at each other as Burt grabs Bree's hand,as they go to his office,as he says"I want to celebrate myself."

   Back at City Hospital,Beth sits in her office as she has a flashback to marrying B.R. at Hell Hill and she asks herself"His brother was the only other person there when we exchanged vows."Beth is quiet as she thinks and says to herself"Junior was leeching off of him and he was likely watching from somewhere."Beth shakes her head with disgust as she says to herself"Mama will hold this over my head for years.I just hope she doesn't tell anybody else."Meanwhile in Xavier's room,Xavier is asleep and Sully sits by her Father's side as Jared walks inside and Sully hugs her husband and gives him a passionate kiss and Jared asks his wife"I see you and your Father wasn't plotting his escape?"Sully tells him"No!He tried,but I talked him out of it."Ruth walks into Xavier's room and asks"Is the coast clear?"Sully laughs and says"Gran isn't here Grandma."Ruth hugs Sully and Jared and looks at Xavier and asks"How is he?"Sully tells her"He's better.He's asleep right now though and I'm sure he's plotting an escape plan."Ruth laughs and tells them"Sounds like B.R.."Ruth's nose starts to itch and Ruth is quiet for a moment as Sully and Jared notices and asks Ruth"What is it?"Ruth looks at them and says"Every time my nose itches,someone comes to town.He's already here."Sully and Jared are curious as to what Ruth's talking about and Ruth tells them"He doesn't know yet and I haven't seen him in years."Sully changes subjects and asks Ruth"How is Summer?"Ruth tells Sully"She's doing well for the most part.She's taking it easy and we're getting close.I just hate what happened to her."Sully looks at Ruth and tells her"If Summer needs any help or a friend,I'm here for her."Jared tells them"My Father is such a sick bastard.I hope he pays dearly for what he's done."Ruth assures them"Bobby Whitten will see to it that Chant,and Junior get their due.Don't worry about that."Ruth hugs Sully and Jared and tells them"I have to go do something.Tell Xavier I stopped by and that I love him."Sully smiles and nods as Ruth walks out and she has a thought,and heads to Chantel's to meet with Davis Lane.
   At Class,Leigh and Marco are having some laughs and reminiscing over their past,as they've caught up and Marco tells Leigh,as they discuss Xavier"Be thankful he's going to survive and you have him.I have been lost the last few years since Dante died."Leigh looks at Marco and asks"Dante Perez?"Marco tells Leigh"He had HIV and he passed a few years ago.He went quickly and it broke my heart,but I'm ready to move on."Leigh grabs Marco's hand and tells him"I think I may have a solution to that."Marco asks"What are you planning Ms.Woods?"Leigh tells Marco"There's a doctor in town named Terrance Evans.I think he's single and the two of you would be perfect together."Marco looks at Leigh and says in a quiet tone"I'm kind of shy and being down south,I have heard how people are."Leigh tells Marco"Terrance had some issues with Michael Barr awhile back,but it's safe to be out and open in Adam's Landing."Marco tells Leigh"I haven't even dated since Dante passed away."Leigh tells Marco"Leave it to me.Have I ever let you down before?"Marco is silent and says"You introduced me to Dante."Leigh smiles and says to Marco"So you have nothing to fear."Leigh looks at her watch and tells Marco"I'm headed back to the hospital to check on X.He and Sully may be plotting together down there as we speak."Marco laughs and says"Sully sounds like she takes after him."Leigh smiles and says"He did an incredible job raising her as a single father.I can't wait for you to meet her."Marco looks at Sully's designs and tells Leigh"I think we are about to take Class to the next level and I can't wait to see Sully.It's been many years."Leigh hugs Marco and tells him"You just get comfortable and explore a bit and tomorrow you will meet her."Marco smiles and tells Leigh"I'm glad you're back.I feel better knowing you're alive and well."Leigh tells Marco"I am glad you're here."Leigh leaves for the hospital,as Marco heads to The Sunset Club to check in.
   At Ciarra and Tenny's Penthouse,Ciarra walks inside and sees her sister pacing the floor,smoking a cigarette and reading B.R. and Beth's wedding certificate and Tenny looks at Ciarra and yells"Do you see this?"Ciarra responds"A piece of paper Tennessee?"Tenny yells"A wedding certificate!"Beth is a widow!She married B.R.!"Ciarra looks at it and looks at her sister and warns her"You need to back off Tennessee!Beth is a grown woman and what concern is it of yours about B.R. and Beth being married?"Tenny looks at Ciarra and asks her with red in her eyes"Did you know about this?You better tell me the truth!"Ciarra rolls her eyes and tells her sister"I didn't know about it and I'm not going to lose sleep over it.You need to get the hell over it and back off!"Tenny snarls"I don't know what it is about the Jackson men,they see Beth and they all go into heat!"Ciarra says to Tenny"Shut up Tennessee!If you push this,you'll lose Beth!The Jackson family are not bad people and you need to loosen the hell up on them."Tenny snaps"The only ones that ever had brains are Xavier and Ava!"Ciarra looks at Tenny and sighs and advises her sister"I am going out in a little while with Winston and Ava.Jackson Inc now owns Emery's and I will be helping Ava run the company.You need to get the hell over this and fast!"Ciarra goes to her bedroom as Tenny sits at the kitchen table and hisses"The hell I'll get over it.My son in law was old enough to be my damn brother!"Damn Beth!Where did I go wrong?"
   Meanwhile at Ava's Mansion,Winston and Ava lay in bed,as they have made love and Winston asks Ava"Would you like to critique my skills for an old man?"Ava kisses him and tells him"You're damn good for an old man.And you surprise me all the time.I love you Winston."Winston looks at Ava and tells her"I love you too.I just hope you get some comfort with owning Emery's and it gives you some comfort."Ava looks at Winston and tells him,as she grabs his hand"Having you gives me all the comfort I need and I am so happy that we're together."Winston kisses Ava and says"I am too Ava."At Jackson Inc,Burt and Bree are in his office,as they lay on the floor after having sex and Bree looks at Burt and tells him"You are a freak!"Burt looks at Bree and says to her"I am."Bree jumps on top of Burt and tells him in a seductive tone"And I love it."She kisses him and Burt asks in a flirting tone"Want to go for round two?"Bree tells Burt"I need to check on Summer.But I'm tempted."Bree gets up and gets dressed,as does Burt as they look at each other and Burt tells Bree"I think we got chemistry."Bree looks at Burt and says with a smile"You are a bad influence on me."Burt laughs and winks at her and says"Don't you love it."Bree wraps her arms around Burt and says to him"Oh hell yes I do!"
    At City Hospital,Beth arrives in Xavier's room,as Sully,Jared and Leigh are there and Xavier is awake and Beth tells Xavier,as she checks his blood count"You are improving quickly.I think you may get to leave tomorrow from here."Everyone smiles as Beth leaves quickly and all of them look at each other as Xavier asks Leigh,Sully,and Jared,"Did any of you notice something off about her?"Sully responds"Something is bothering her."Xavier takes a deep breath and tells them"She is hiding something.My Mother is the first lady of secrets."Meanwhile,Beth bumps into Terrance in the hallway and Terrance asks Beth"Are you alright?"Beth is silent as she heads to her office and Terrance looks at Beth with a curious look as Sassy walks up to Terrance and asks"What's up with Beth?"Terrance tells her"That's a good question."Beth returns to her office and opens her desk and stares at a ring and she looks up and grabs a cup and throws it across the office and shakes her head in disgust over her Mother.Meanwhile at Hell Hill,Latoya,Rashad,and Sayyid are in the nursery as they play with Gracie and Xavier Jr and Latoya tells them"I'm going downstairs to get some milk for them."Downstairs,a man walks inside Hell Hill and stands there and looks around silently.Latoya comes downstairs and sees the man and drops Gracie and Xavier Jr's bottles,as she points to B.R.'s portrait and looks at the man standing before her and the man,who's wearing a white cowboy hat,white button-up shirt,and blue jeans and looks at Latoya with a suspicious look,and tips his hat and asks her"Who are you?"

   It's the next morning and at Hell Hill,Leigh heads downstairs,as Latoya has arrived and tells her"I'm going down to the hospital and see Xavier.I'm glad everything went well for you last night."Latoya tells Leigh"I was nervous about telling Rashad and I's family about our new arrival,but everything went well."Leigh hugs Latoya and tells her"Watching Gracie and Little X will give you lots of practice on babies and you'll be a great mother."Leigh hugs Latoya as she heads out and Sayyid walks into the living room and sees Latoya and she asks him"Were you serious about helping me meet my father?"Sayyid nods and Latoya tells him"I want Jermaine Watts to get his due for leaving Mom and I high and dry."Sayyid looks at Latoya and tells her"I had also thought that you were Keith's daughter,but since you're not and your carrying my great-nephew's kid,I will help you.He has a responsibility he's neglected and it's time he owes up for it."Latoya pumps her fist and tells Sayyid"Damn right!I want to tell that son of a bitch all about my struggles growing up without a Father and he won't run away from me."Sayyid assures Latoya"I'll make sure he doesn't Latoya."Sayyid tells her"I know where he's at and I'm going to visit him.I'll let you know when it's time."Latoya hugs Sayyid and he walks out.Latoya heads upstairs to check on Gracie and Xavier Jr,and in the kitchen,Tenny arrives and says to herself"I'm about to find out the truth.She notices the house is quiet and heads to Xavier's study.
   At City Hospital,Xavier awakens in his room and finds Sully by his side and he looks at his daughter and says"My Princess.I thought you'd sleep in today?"Sully tells her Father"I was more worried about you.I barely slept last night and that damn dog across the hall wouldn't stop barking."Xavier laughs and asks"Where's Jared?"Sully tells him"He went down to Jackson Inc.Ava's arranged a meeting this morning and life's going back to normal."Xavier looks at his daughter and lovingly reminds her"I hope you're not rushing your recovery from your Heart Transplant.Take it easy for awhile."Sully tells him with a laugh"I'm a workaholic just like you and don't judge me!"Xavier holds Sully's hand and looks at her and says"I think you will no worries now Princess.Class is doing great and you and your Mom will do an excellent job."Sully mentions to him"I got a phone call this morning from a man that's going to come in to help out with things."Xavier is curious and asks Sully"Who is he?"Sully tells her Father"He said he was Mom's agent years ago.Aunt Ava called him and told him to come to town."Xavier is quiet and tells his daughter"He'll be a huge asset to Class.He's heavy into fashion and very cutting edge."Meanwhile Beth walks into Xavier's room and sees Sully there and asks them"I hear the two of you discussing work again?"Xavier rolls his eyes and tells his Mother"Sully's easing her way back into the working world.We've discussed that."Sully looks at her Grandmother and assures her"I'm not rushing myself Grandma!Don't panic over my decision."Beth pulls out her tablet and tells them with a smile"I don't think none of you have anything to worry about now."Sully reads The Exposer as does Xavier and both of them are stunned as Xavier asks his Mother"Did you blackmail Desi?"Beth laughs and says"I think she grew some brains and realized nobody wanted her here.Good riddance!"Everyone laughs as Leigh walks into the room and walks over to her husband as they kiss and Leigh tells her husband"I'm glad to see you're getting back to yourself again."Beth checks Xavier's blood count and tells Leigh and Sully"He's improving quickly.It's close to normal."Xavier tells his family"I'm ready to go home now that I'm better."Beth tells her son"You're not out of the woods yet!You will be here for a few more days and then you can go home!"Xavier rolls his eyes and says in a sarcastic tone"Whatever you say Dr.Jackson."Beth shakes his head and tells her son"Sometimes you remind me of B.R. so much it's scary.He was the same way you are.When he had his bypass,as soon as he woke up,he was ready to go home until I had to talk him out of it."Leigh looks at Xavier and says"From what I've heard,B.R. and X were both workaholics.I think it's work withdrawal."Beth laughs and says"Yes it is.That runs on both sides of the family."Leigh meanwhile gets a phone call and she answers it and tells them"Can I reschedule the meeting?"Xavier nudges at his wife and tells her"Go do it Leigh."Leigh looks at her husband curiously and tells them"Ok I'm on my way."Leigh hugs Xavier and Sully and warns them"Don't be planning anything while I'm gone."Xavier grins as does Sully and Leigh smiles as Beth assures her daughter in law"I'm here.They won't be planning anything."Leigh leaves and Beth tells Xavier and Sully"I got some errands to run.You two behave yourselves."Beth leaves and Xavier jokingly asks Sully"Want to help me escape?'Sully shakes her head and tells her Father"NO!"Xavier says in with a laugh"Damn."
   Meanwhile at Jackson Inc,Burt,Ava,Bree,and Jared are in Xavier's office as Ava tells them"Since Xavier is recovering and I'm going to be leading the ship with Burt,I want to discuss something that's been brought to my attention.A major Department Store in Blue Ridge is up for sale and it could make us tons of money and benefit Jackson Inc,as well as Class."Burt tells them"Ciarra mentioned to Bree and I the other day and she worked for Emery's years ago.She knows the company inside and out."Ava tells him"She does.She mentioned it to me at the hospital the other day and after what I've heard about Blue Ridge,if Emery's closes,it could destroy the town.People will lose jobs and an institution will be gone forever unless we act fast."Bree tells them"What will Xavier think about this?"Jared chimes in and says"Some of the malls Jackson Inc owns are anchored by Emery's,and the Northbrook project has Emery's on the anchor list as well.If Xavier was here,he would be for it."Ava agrees as does Burt and Bree tells all of them"Remember that I am a rookie at all of this and this is new for me."Ava tells her niece"I know it is.I plan to run Emery's once we gain control of the chain and take it private."Ciarra walks into the office as she hears Ava and tells her"If the deal goes through,I plan to play a part in it as well.Emery's was on top when I was leading the company."Ava looks at Ciarra and asks her"I thought you were going to stay on with Sully and Leigh at Class?"Ciarra tells them"I think with what's in store,and what was reported this morning,we have nothing to fear now.Class is safe and Sully and Leigh will be able to run the company on their own."Ava agrees and adds"I think the new addition will help as well."Burt tells Ava"Did you read The Exposer this morning?"Ava sighs"I haven't.Winston and I did something we haven't done in awhile and it was great."Burt quips"Sex is always great."Bree and Burt looks at each other as Ciarra tells them"I don't care to hear about everyone's sex lives.I'm here for business."Ava agrees and they discuss the plans for Emery's acquisition.
    At Ava's Mansion,Burt meets with his banker as he gets his deed to his island in the tropics and tells him"Thank you for bringing this to me.I plan to give this to Xavier."The banker rolls his eyes and asks Winston"Are you crazy?With the money he has,you can make millions from selling it to him!"Winston tells his banker"I am not who I used to be.Xavier has been good to me and he is my friend.This is my gift to him for watching after my grandson,and taking care of Foodstar."The banker tells Winston"You've grown soft."Winston tells him"Go to hell sometime and then come back and tell me it wouldn't affect you.I am out of the business games and Hale Corp is all I need and my Ava."The banker tells Winston"I think there's something you should know Winston,Emery's is on the market.It would generate billions."Winston asks in shock"Emery's of Blue Ridge?"The banker nods and tells him"They are closing their doors if they don't find a buyer."Winston is quiet and asks"How much is it up for?"The banker tells him the price and Winston is quiet for a moment,as he doesn't know about Jackson Inc's interest in the company and tells the banker"I think I want to buy it.Let's make a deal happen and see what happens."The banker makes the phone call and tells Winston"You're going to have some competition.Someone else is also making an offer."Winston asks"Who is it?"The banker tells him"He wouldn't tell me.It's going to be a bidding war."Winston tells his banker"I am willing to do it.It'd be a perfect wedding gift for Ava."The banker makes the call and tells the owner of Emery's"We double the asking price."Winston sits back as the bidding war has begun.
   Meanwhile back at Hell Hill,Tenny is inside Xavier's study and goes through his desk,as she says to herself"I know how Xavier sticks to tradition.If there's anything about the nightmare of old man Jackson being my son in law,then I'll find it here."Tenny finds a folder and as she pulls the folder out of Xavier's desk, the wall behind her opens and Tenny walks inside and is in awe at what she sees.She sees a stockpile of moonshine and gold bars and Tenny says to herself in shock"Wow!I feel like I'm touring the pyramids!"She looks around and comes across something and she opens the book up to find a piece of paper inside the book and Tenny reads it and says to herself"I don't believe this.I do not believe this!"She also finds a photo and she looks at it,as she lights a cigarette and shakes her head in disbelief.Tenny walks out of the vault and takes the piece of paper and photo with her,as she sneaks out of Hell Hill the same way she came in.She gets into her car and says to herself"I'm about to get some answers for this!"
   At Jazz,Keith and Jermaine sits at the bar,taking some shots as they discuss their grand opening and Sassy walks inside and yells"I notice the two of you never change do you?"Keith and Jermaine sits back with a smirk and laughs"Sassy Shane!Are you still working at that diner...oops I forgot it was closed.Want a job?"Sassy looks at them with anger and tells them"I'm here because we got to discuss something."Keith tells Sassy dismissively"We don't have a damn thing to discuss with you.You got what every fan got and I would think you'd enjoyed it?"Sassy tells them"I had a daughter 9 months later also!Did any of you know about that!"Keith laughs"You are a waitress Sassy,that kid could be anybody's kid.You're only wanting my money."Sassy is insulted and slaps Keith and Keith yells at Sassy"No white woman ain't gonna slap me."Sassy tells both Keith and Jermaine"The two of you are disgusting people!It's a shame that one of you are my Daughter's Father!"Keith and Jermaine looks at each other and looks at Sassy and quips"You're looking at the wrong folks girl.Get lost!"Sassy pulls out the DNA test and shows it to them and yells"I thought for years Latoya belonged to Keith and since she dates Rashad Evans.."Keith stops Sassy and asks"Rashad.Aretha's son Rashad?"Sassy says"Oh yes!And they are expecting."Keith grows silent and Sassy tells him"Don't worry you son of a bitch,she doesn't belong to you.Jermaine is Latoya's Father!"Jermaine is stunned and Sayyid walks inside and sees Sassy and Keith asks his Father"I would think you'd be honored.Sassy was our trophy.Sang her right into bed!"Sayyid looks at Keith with disgust and looks at Jermaine and tells him"You're coming with me!"Jermaine tells Sayyid"I'm going nowhere with you."Sassy and Sayyid tells Jermaine"You're going to meet your daughter!"Jermaine tells them"I am?"Sayyid walks over and grabs Jermaine by the shirt and tells him with red in his eyes"Don't be a coward!Be a man instead of a boy!"Sayyid drags Jermaine out of Jazz,as Sassy follows him and Keith tells Sassy on the way out in a flirting tone"You're still bangin Sassy.Hit me up."Sassy looks at Keith and snaps"Go to Hell!"
   Meanwhile at Class,Leigh arrives and the receptionist asks Leigh"How's Ms.Hale doing?"Leigh tells her"My daughter is growing stronger and she'll be back real soon."The receptionist smiles and says"I'm glad we won't have to worry about Desi coming around here anymore.Never could stand the bitch."Leigh laughs and says"That one's an under-statement."Leigh walks into Sully's office and she notices a man looking out of the window and he's quiet and Leigh looks at him as his back is turned to her and she asks him"Who are you?"The man turns around and Leigh's eyes widen as she is in shock to see who it is and he says to Leigh with tears in his eyes"You're still alive after all these years.I can't believe it."Leigh looks at him and says"I am shocked you'd even come to Adam's Landing."They hug each other as the man is Marco Cavetti,Leigh's former agent from her modeling days and Marco tells Leigh"Ava called me and told me to take her place here."Leigh looks at Marco and tells him"I have missed you."Marco smiles and says"You haven't changed a bit Leigh Woods."Leigh tells Marco"Thank you for the compliment.But I don't intend to model again."Marco tells her"After what I've heard,you have what you want and I'm just glad my best friend is alive."Leigh and Marco hug as they catch up on lost time.
   Back at Jackson Inc,Burt,Ava,Bree,Jared,and Ciarra are in Xavier's office as Burt tells them"Someone else is going after Emery's."Ava asks him"Who is it?"Burt looks at Ava and tells her"The person has asked to remain unknown.They've doubled the asking price though.What do you want to do?"Jared,Bree,and Ciarra looks at Ava as she tells Burt"I want Emery's and tells the broker we'll offer some money to find out who the other bidder is."Burt makes the call and does as Ava asks and Burt hangs up and looks at them and says"Hale Corp."Ava is silent and says"Winston is going after Emery's."Jared shakes his head and says"I knew Grandfather hadn't changed his ways.He put on one hell of an act."Burt is in shock as Ciarra tells them"Winston doesn't know anything about the Department Store business."Ava tells everyone"Emery's is ours!Trust me on that one.He didn't know we were looking at buying Emery's.I didn't tell him."Ciarra asks Ava"How are you going to handle this?"Ava looks at all of them and says"He will have to choose,Emery's or me."
  At City Hospital,Winston arrives in Xavier's room as Sully is sitting next to her Father and Winston tells Xavier"Here's the deed to my Island.I also brought you some photos as well."Xavier and Sully looks at the photos and are in awe and Xavier asks Winston"How much are you going to sell this for?Winston gives Xavier the deed and tells him humbly"It's free.I don't want a dime for this.After all you've done for me Xavier,this is my way of saying thank you."Xavier is shocked,as is Sully as they are both speechless as Winston tells Xavier"You showed me many truths with Chant,and you and I are both similar and I'm glad that we're friends now.This will be of more use to you,than it will be for me."Xavier reads everything over and is silent as Sully hugs Winston and tells him"I never thought I'd be able to say I liked you,but now I can."Winston looks at Sully and tells her"You have made Jared happy,and you carry my son's heart inside of you.I'm honored that you're a part of my family."Meanwhile in Beth's office,Beth sits at her desk as she is going over Xavier's paperwork,and Tenny arrives and smiles at her daughter and says"How are you my sweet Beth?"Beth tells her Mother"I am fine,tired after staying all night at the hospital,but it's my job."Tenny then asks Beth"How is Xavier?"Beth tells her"His blood count is close to normal and he should be released in a few more days."Tenny then looks at Beth and tells her"Walk over here to your Mama.I need a hug."Beth walks over and Tenny slaps her daughter and shows her a picture and a piece of paper and tells her daughter in a stern tone"Explain this to me!"

   Tenny and Ciarra meanwhile has returned to their Penthouse and Precious runs into his room as Tenny tells her sister"I'm glad Xavier's going to live."Ciarra looks at Tenny and asks her"Are you still thinking about what Brock Jr told you in that Storm Shelter Tennessee?"Tenny sits at the kitchen table and lights a cigarette and tells Ciarra"I was gone for many years and I know how well all of you are with your secrets."Ciarra rolls her eyes and tells Tenny"I don't believe Beth and B.R. were ever married.You need to be more worried about Xavier.He's got a long road ahead of him."Tenny looks at her sister and says to her"I just can't forget what he said.Beth has always been secretive.She did keep that bitch Desi in that coma,though she should have killed her."Ciarra looks at Tenny and tells her"You won't give up until you find out the truth will you?"Tenny takes a puff and tells Ciarra"Beth's my Daughter and I know when she's keeping something from me.I feel it!"Ciarra looks at Tenny and tells her"I'm going to bed and get a good night's rest now that everything is fine and Xavier's going to make it.You should too."Ciarra heads to her bedroom,as Tenny looks at Precious and tells him"I'm going to find out the truth one way or another."

   Meanwhile at Hell Hill,Leigh,Sully,and Jared are in the nursery with Gracie and Xavier Jr and Leigh tells them"Your Daddy is going to be fine and everything will be fine in the world again.Sully looks at her sister and brother and tells Jared"I wish Daddy would have let us stay with him tonight."Jared tells his wife"Your Grandmother wanted some time with him.She deserves that."Leigh tells them"I'm thankful X will live and he's finally planning to slow down a bit."Jared asks Leigh"Have you ever seen Winston's Island?"Leigh replies"I haven't."Jared tells her"That place is paradise.I am amazed how much he's changed over the last month."Sully replies"I know it.I used to despise him,but I'm warming up to him."Leigh tells them"When someone has been as close to death as Winston has as well as Xavier and you too Sully,it does change you.Some change for the better,and some change for the worse."Sully tells all of them"Things seem normal again."Jared tells Sully"I agree.You want to go back home."Sully looks at her Mother,and Leigh tells them"Sayyid's here.I'm alright.I'd like to spend some time with Gracie and Little X by myself.You two go home."Sully hugs her Mother and they head to their Penthouse,as Leigh picks up Gracie and Xavier Jr and sits in her rocking chair and holds her babies and tells them"Your Daddy is going to survive."
   At City Hospital,Xavier is in his room asleep and Desi arrives and looks through the window and notices he's alone and walks inside.She looks at him and has a flashback to their youth,and the good times and tells him"I've always loved you X.."Beth walks into the room and sees Desi and grabs her by the back of her blouse and drags her into the hall and Desi looks at Beth and says"I wanted to say goodbye to your son.I heard he was dying."Beth pins Desi against the wall and quietly and sternly tells her"Xavier has a family Desi.You only caused him trouble.I seriously don't understand why you would even show up here after all the hell you have caused him and our family."Desi reminds Beth angrily"You were the main reason Xavier and I were never together.It's your fault Beth!"Beth takes a deep breath and coldly warns Desi"I read The Exposer and you and your children were nothing but scum.I have no regrets over what I did years ago and if I knew what I know now,I'd never let you near my son."Desi shrieks"We had a daughter together Beth!"Beth responds"And If I had of known it was his,I'd made damn sure you were never around her.Xavier has everything he needs now and you have NOTHING!"Desi looks at Beth with tears in her eyes as Beth warns Desi"You stay the hell away from my family Desi Barr!If you don't,I'll be the first in line to kill you!"Beth points at the elevator and tells Desi"Now get lost!And leave my family alone!"Beth walks back into Xavier's room and Xavier awakens and asks"Was that Desi?"Beth checks Xavier's vitals and blood count and tells him"It was and I told her to leave.You're improving."Xavier looks at his Mother and tells her"You should have killed her."Beth quips"I should have,but you got Leigh and two beautiful twins and your Princess and a family that loves you.You have exactly what you need."Xavier smiles as he closes his eyes and goes back to sleep.Desi meanwhile stands outside City Hospital and stands silently as she reflects on everything,and makes a phone call and tells them"I want the first ticket out of Adam's Landing tonight."Desi leaves and heads to Adam's Landing International Airport,with a look of defeat,knowing she has lost,and that she has no chance of redemption.

   In the Waiting Room upstairs,Leigh and Sully sits by Tenny as Ciarra arrives and everyone in the room begins to reflect on Xavier and their relationship with him over the years.Tenny tells Leigh and Sully"When he was young,he'd spend the summers with J.D. and I and even then he went by his own rules."Sully asks her Great-Grandmother"So Daddy was a wild child?"Allan tells everyone with a laugh"That was me!I was the one that was the rebel."Tenny sits back and begins to tell her favorite memory of Xavier as a child,telling them"He used to tell J.D. and I that one day he was going to be the most powerful man in the world.Nobody would be able to stop him.He was so full of life."Ciarra laughs and says"Since Tennessee could never cook to save her life,he would run over to my house every morning and Lily would be at school,and Jacob and I would be at the breakfast table,and Xavier would walk in and sit down silently and look at the orange juice and ask for my pancakes."Sully smiles and says"I remember doing that as well.He and I were always over at you and Uncle Jacob's every morning."Ciarra puts her hand on Sully's shoulder and says with a smile"Yes you were.The two of you kept things vibrant at The Sullivan Estate."Leigh tells them"He has always treated me like a queen.The moment I first seen him,we knew it was forever."Tenny says gently"The Sullivan Love Leigh.Xavier took after our side of the family when it came to love and fidelity."Tenny looks over at Frank and says with a dismissive tone"At least he picked up the good traits from our families."Frank tells them"I just wish I had of been there for him more than I was.He and I were two different people and he was quiet.He'd spend so much time at Hell Hill that he was hardly ever at The Farm with Beth and I."Bree laughs and says"He was always quiet.He never did say much."Sully tells all of them"Daddy has always been a quiet person.When I was a little girl,he would always talk to me.I remember when he first saw my artwork and he started to cry.I asked him why he was crying and he told me,Princess you remind me so much of your Mother."Leigh holds Sully close as Cale and Allison are silent as they are listening to the trip down memory lane with Tenny,Ciarra,Leigh,Sully,Frank,and Bree all reflecting and all of them are staying optimistic,as Sully reminds them"Daddy has survived a lot.He will make it.I know he will."
   At the ALPD,Chant is brought into the visitation room,as Jared stands in there and Chant looks at his son and tells him with a smile"Are you here to finally show some family loyalty?"Jared is angry and punches his Father in the face,knocking him to the floor and tells him"I always knew you were twisted and out for yourself,but you went too far!"Chant looks at Jared and tells him"You had Foodstar,so I wanted Class.Your Grandmother.."Jared slams Chant against the wall and with tears in his eyes yells"I almost lost my wife over what that witch did!Your scheme cost everyone something!"Chant tells his son"I see you and your Grandfather are still drinking the Jackson Moonshine?"Jared yells"Xavier and Grandfather have been more of a family to me than you ever were Chant!"Chant yells angrily"It's Father you ungrateful bastard!Had I not of found you,you would never be where you are!"Jared reminds him"It was Grandfather that made you look for me!I will never forgive you for the pain you have caused Sully and I and our family!"Chant looks at Jared coldly and tells him"If I knew you were the person you are,I'd left you with that nutcase you call Mom.I'm ashamed that you're my son."Jared looks at his Father and tells him"I hope you rot in here.You deserve it Chant!"Chant yells"That's right,call me by my first name.You are a failure."Jared turns around as he walks out and tells him"The failure is you!"Jared heads back to City Hospital,as Chant is carried back to his cell.
   Meanwhile at Hell Hill,Latoya is watching Gracie and Xavier Jr,as well as Precious,as Ciarra left him in her care and Rashad arrives with a box of chocolates and Latoya looks at him and says in a flirting tone"You know how to make a woman feel good.I was craving this."Rashad puts his arms around Latoya and kisses her and says"And I was craving that."Latoya laughs and reminds Rashad"I do have a job here and Ms.Sullivan's dog is here too and he scares me."Rashad looks at Precious and he growls at the two of them and Rashad looks at Latoya and says"I remember you telling me once that you were bit by a dog when you were a kid?"Latoya looks at Precious and says"It was a Doberman like that beast sitting on the couch watching Soap Operas."Rashad looks at Precious as does Latoya and Rashad comments"I notice he only growls during the commerical breaks.I think he's more interested in The Restless Ones than us."Latoya looks at Precious as he stares intently at the TV as the soap is on and he is quiet and laughs"I've never seen a dog like that in my life."Rashad holds Latoya and says"I'd only worry when the talk shows come on.Then he'll likely get mad.I'll stay here and protect you."Latoya kisses Rashad as they walk upstairs,as Precious watches TV and another commerical comes on and he starts to growl and snarl."
   At Class,Aretha,Willie,and Davis Lane are in the store as Davis walks around and tells them"I notice Sully Jackson has really fixed things up here.Looks nothing like it did when Desi was running it."Aretha tells Davis"Sully has done a great job with Class.It's about to go national."Davis looks around and reflects for a moment and tells them"Virginia and I never wanted to grow too much.We tried to keep things simple.Desi on the other hand.."Willie sighs and rolls her eyes and says"She destroyed this company.When she took over,she walked in here and told me I was fired simply because of my age,though I still think Rodney had a part to play in that."Davis looks at Willie and tells her"Rodney was a disgrace as was his family.Desi changed after she left town pregnant."Aretha tells Davis"Beth wasn't about to let her son raise a child she thought wasn't his."Davis asks Aretha"Is it true that Xavier may be dying?Olivia mentioned this morning he had a problem and it was life threatening."Aretha nods and tells him"Ava told me to keep it on the down low."Desi walks in and sees them and asks with tears"X is dying?"Willie,Aretha,and Davis turns around and looks at her with disgust as Willie walks up to Desi and sternly tells her"Get the hell out of here!"Desi looks at her Father and he tells Desi"You're not welcomed here."Aretha gets her phone out and quips"If you don't leave,then I'll call the ALPD and you'll be in jail again.What's it gonna be Desi?"Desi shrieks"This is MINE!"Sayyid meanwhile walks inside and sees Desi's tantrum,as he hears Willie and Aretha and grabs Desi's arm and tells her coldly"You heard them.Get the hell out of here."Aretha smiles as her Mother sees Sayyid for the first time in 15 years and is speechless as Desi yells at her Father"I did what was best!"Davis looks at Desi and tells his Daughter with tears in his eyes"You are not my daughter anymore Desi.Your Mother and I raised you better and we taught you right,and you stabbed us in the back.The Lane legacy here is over and as far as I'm concerned,I only have one child and one grandchild.You are nothing to me."Sayyid drags Desi to the door and Desi's frightened as Sayyid warns her"Don't you let me catch you around anyone I care about,or else I'll finish you off!"Desi leaves and Sayyid walks back inside as Willie looks at her brother and says"Clem?"Sayyid looks at his Oldest Sister and they have a tearful reunion as he gives Willie and Aretha a huge hug and Willie tells her brother"Welcome home Clem."Davis watches on with a smile as he tells them"This is a beautiful sight to see."Willie,Aretha,and Sayyid walks out of Class and heads to Hell Hill,as Rashad has left a text for Aretha,and Davis stands in the store he founded years ago and says with a smile"It's in good hands now."Davis heads out and heads to Olivia's house.
