Daylight And Darkness: Episode 90. Renewals

    It's evening time in Adam's Landing,and in Beth's office at City Hospital,she is shocked,stunned,and emotional as her Mother,Tennessee(Tenny) Sullivan,Xavier's Grandmother and widow of J.D.Sullivan has returned to pay her daughter a visit.They hug each other and Beth asks her Mother"I'm surprised you're here.How's Monaco been?"Tenny looks at her Daughter and laughs"I have enjoyed traveling around the world but sometimes it's good to be back in the States."Tenny asks"How's Xavier and Sully?"Beth tells her"Both are here.Sully's in the Psychiatric Wing currently and Xavier was in an accident but he'll be fine."Tenny tells her Daughter"I will be in Adam's Landing for awhile.I'm not ready to return home yet."Beth somberly says"Because of Daddy?"Tenny tells Beth"When J.D. died years ago,I couldn't stay in Blue Ridge.The memories although comforting ,was haunting and I had to get away."Beth hugs Tenny and tells her"I'm glad you're here Mama."Tenny hugs her Daughter as the lab tech walks in the office.Tenny tells Beth"I'm going to the Sunset Club to settle in.I'll visit Xavier and Sully tomorrow."Tenny quickly leaves as the Lab Tech tells Beth"Here's the results to Rachel Lane's paternity."Beth thanks the tech and walks over to her desk and looks at the envelope and makes a phone call to Ava and tells her"I got them."Beth is tempted to open it but decides to hold off and heads to check on Xavier.
   Upstairs in the Psychiatric Wing,Sully,Jared and Gabriella are in the sitting room as Jared is filling his Wife and Mother in on what's happened.Sully is relieved to know that her Mother and Father,Xavier and Leigh are well but she asks her Husband"How's Desi?Did she live?"Gabriella tells her Daughter In Law"For now."Jared asks his Mother"What do you mean?For Now?"Gabriella asks Jared"Have I ever been wrong in my visions?"Jared is quiet for a moment and tells her"Nope.You have always been exact."Sully tells Jared"I want to see Mom and Daddy."Jared tells his Wife with a smile"You will be seeing them very soon.Dr.Cole told me that you're ready for release."Jared looks at his Mother and tells her"You too."Sully is ecstatic and Jared asks Sully in a serious tone"Promise me you'll stay away from Desi and the razorblades."Sully grabs her Husband and tells him"I am ready to start anew.I want to focus on us,and my store."Jared and Sully hugs as Gabriella watches on with a tear in her eye and Sully and Gabriella heads to their rooms to get packed to leave.Jared says to himself with a sigh,looking up"She needs a break.Watch over her."
   Frank has returned to The Farm and finds his Mother sitting in his favorite chair and Ruth asks her Son"Where have you been all day?"Frank tells her"Xavier was in a car accident.He's fine though."Ruth gets livid and looks at Frank and asks"Why did you keep this from me?"Frank tells his Mother"With your heart,I didn't want you to panic and get worried."Ruth gets up and tells Frank"When my family is in trouble,you better tell me about it.Too damn much tragedy has went on in this family and I am tired of it son.I'm just glad he's ok."Frank hugs his Mother and tells her"I wanted to make sure he was going to survive before I said anything.I was only protecting you Mama."Ruth tells Frank"Xavier is the image of B.R. through and through.It will take much more than a car accident and a gunshot to get him.He's got ice running in his veins."Frank laughs as does Ruth and Frank changes subjects and asks Ruth"Where's Bree?"Ruth tells him"She got a letter from Jamie today and returned home."Frank tells Ruth"I hope Jamie's ok where-ever she went."Ruth tells Frank in a serious,but sad tone"After the pain she's caused us over the years,I really don't care what happens to her.She and Junior have caused so much grief to our family that I just can't worry about them anymore."Frank hugs his Mother and assures her"I think brighter days are ahead."Ruth holds onto him and says"I hope so Frank.I hope so."
   At Chantel's,Rachel is sitting with Jack and Rachel is telling him about Xavier and Desi's accident.Jack asks Rachel"How are you handling things?"Rachel tells him"I don't know.I don't know whether I should be sad or feel free."Jack is curious and asks"Free?"Rachel looks at him and says"Only when she's at death's door is she ready to make peace.Even my Brother has offered an olive branch."Jack asks her"Will Desi survive the accident?."Rachel is silent and looks down and says"I don't know but I've made my peace."Meanwhile,at the bar,Ava arrives and watches her son with Rachel with a look of disapproval.Aretha's at the bar and sees Ava and tells her to sit down.Aretha tells Ava"Cut Rachel some slack.She has been through hell today."Ava says to her friend"Only tonight.I got a date in the morning at the Hospital."Aretha rolls her eyes and asks Ava"What business is it of yours who's the father of Rachel's child.You know it isn't Jack's."Ava gets upset and snaps at Aretha"That makes it my business.Also the fact that it could be my Brother's child or that guy I met today at the Hospital,Burt Corbin.I don't want to see my son hurt.He's already had enough of that and Rachel is out for one person,Rachel."Aretha is quiet as both of them watches on as Jack and Rachel are sitting together and Ava asks Aretha"Why are you so damn protective of Rachel?"Aretha says to Ava in a serious tone"I know her Ava.She has had a rough life.That's all I'm going to say."Ava gets suspicious and asks Aretha"What do you mean she had it rough?The tramp was the Daughter of Desi Lane?"Aretha sternly says to her friend"I may own a tabloid,but I won't say a word about Rachel's life that isn't printed in the book."Ava sighs and rolls her eyes and cautions Aretha"Don't get too close to her.I think she is trouble and I will never approve of her with my son so if you expect me to embrace her as you have,forget it."Ava leaves and Aretha shakes her head as she heads home as well.Meanwhile back at Rachel and Jack's table,Jack tells Rachel,noticing Aretha and Ava at the bar earlier"We had company."Rachel asks"Your Mother?"Jack says"Aretha too."Rachel sighs of relief as she tells Jack"At least someone at the bar had my back."They both laugh and gives each other a kiss."
   Meanwhile,Tenny's returned to her room at The Sunset Club and checks her phone,noticing a text.She reads it and rolls her eyes and leaves to head downstairs to have a drink.Tenny arrives at the bar and tells the bartender"I want something strong."The bartender asks Tenny"You look troubled?"Tenny asks the bartender"Are you a licensed shrink?"The bartender shakes his head and goes to get Tenny her drink.Burt arrives and asks Tenny with a tone of surprise"So it seems we run into each other again."Tenny sarcastically responds"You must be following me Burt.Remember that it was a one time deal."Burt orders a drink and tells Tenny"That one time nearly cost me my job too when Xavier found out and Beth has hated me since."Tenny takes a drink and says to Burt"We know how close Beth and J.D. were.Very similar to Xavier and Sully."Burt asks Tenny"Why are you really here Tenny?I heard your rants on Adam's Landing too many times to think you're here on a family visit."Tenny quickly snaps"Can't a Mother come to town to visit her Daughter?Or to see her Grandchildren?Or check on the company?"Burt laughs and says"I can believe that but knowing you there's more to this."Tenny looks at Burt and says calmly"Everybody has secrets Burt."Tenny finishes her drink and heads back upstairs.Burt watches on with a look of suspicion and is quiet for a moment and the bartender asks him"Do you know her?"Burt tells the bartender"Yes I do.Too well I might add."Burt pays the bartender and heads home.Upstairs,Tenny returns to her room and reads the text again and had a look of defeat and looks up and says"Where are you when I need you J.D.?"She then lays down and cries herself to sleep."
   Back at City Hospital,Beth has arrived at Xavier's room and finds Jared and Sully standing outside the door.Sully is smiling as is Beth as they look through the window and sees Xavier asleep in the bed,with Leigh laying next to him."Beth tells her Granddaughter"He's going to be fine."Beth gives Sully a hug and asks Jared"Where's your Mom?"Jared tells Beth"She went to to the apartment."Beth tells Jared"I think the world of Gabriella.Can she really see the future?"Sully and Jared both tell Beth"Yes she can."Beth tells Sully"Your Great-Grandma's in town.She'll be glad to know you're going to be out of here."Sully is shocked and asks"Where's she staying?"Beth tells her"The Sunset Club.Mama never asks for favors.If I told her to stay with me,she'd thrown a fit."Sully laughs"Sounds like she hasn't changed."Beth nods and tells Jared and Sully to head home,assuring them"Everything's fine here.Your Father has what he needs.He'll be very glad to know you're home."Sully looks through the window,and smiles and says"I'm glad my family's together."She hugs her Grandmother and she and Jared leaves as Beth follows behind,to call it a day.She then gets a message from Terrance and she is silent and walks out of the hospital with Rachel's paternity results in her pocket.In Desi's room,Michael is asleep in the chair,next to his Mother's bed as Terrance walks into the room and looks at her vitals and Michael wakes up and Terrance tells him somberly"She's gone."

  At City Hospital,Beth and Jared are with Leigh with no response from Xavier and Beth tells them"He may have paid Desi a visit.Whenever it's come to Sully,he'll do anything to make sure she's taken care of.He is attached to her.When she hurts,he hurts too."Leigh cries and says"He did a great job raising her,she very much takes after her Daddy."Beth reminds Leigh"She's survived a lot lately and she and you are strong."Terrance arrives in Leigh's room and motions Beth to walk out into the hall to talk privately and Beth walks out.She asks Terrance"Did you get the results from the DNA test?"Terrance tells Beth"It's Xavier.He was in an accident."Beth calmly asks"What kind of an accident?"Terrance puts his hands on Beth's shoulders and looks down for a moment and tells her"A head on collision with Desi Lane.Both are critical."Beth looks into Leigh's room and thinks of Sully and tells Terrance"Tell Jared to come outside and check up on Leigh."Terrance walks into the room and he checks on Leigh and Jared comes outside and Beth tells him calmly"There's been an accident with Desi and Xavier."Jared asks in shock"Are they alive?"Beth tells him calmly"Both are critical.Don't say nothing to Leigh or Sully about this until I find out what happened."Beth rushes down to the ER as Jared walks back into Leigh's room and Terrance tells Leigh and Jared"She heals quick.You may be able to be released tonight or tomorrow morning."Leigh smiles and says"When X arrives,I'm going home."Terrance walks out and Jared is quiet and Leigh notices something wrong and asks Jared"What did Beth tell you?Was it about Sully?"Jared looks up and does as Beth asked of him,tells her"She told me Sully's progressing well and it won't be long before she is released."Leigh looks at Jared and tells him"What else did she say?"Jared doesn't answer but assures her,preventing his Mother In Law from getting upset and scared from knowing of Xavier's wreck,tells her"That's all she had to tell me and she had to check on a patient."Leigh looks at him and doesn't buy it.
  Meanwhile at The Sunset Club,an older woman checks in and heads to her room.She spots Burt at the bar and asks him"Long time no see Burt."Burt ask her"What are you doing here?"The lady replies"I've heard on the news about my family and it was time to pay a visit."Burt tells her"Much has happened and they are holding up well I think."The lady tells him"That's good to know."She then asks him for his autograph and tells him"I read about you in Rachel Lane's book.Whatever made you decide to move down here?"Burt answers"Free home."She then asks him"Where's City Hospital?"Burt gives her directions and tells her"We should have a drink while you're here."She responds"We'll see."The lady leaves and Burt gets up to head back to Jackson Inc,and bumps into Michael,who's in a rush."He asks Michael"Moving In?"Michael tells him"My Mom was in an accident."Burt tells him"After what I've heard,sounds like Karma coming back to her."Michael asks him"What in the hell are you talking about?"Burt tells him"I know what happened years ago between her and Rodney.That's sick.That hurt her in so many ways."Michael angrily answers"My sister is a liar too!"and leaves for the hospital.Burt shakes his head and heads out,headed for Jackson Inc.
  Beth arrives in the ER and rushes to Xavier's side as the doctor attending to Xavier tells her"He has a mild concussion and sore in the ribs but we've done a X Ray and a MRI and he appears to be fine."Beth cries of joy and says"Thank God!"Xavier tells her"I will be fine.I want to go see my wife."Beth tells Xavier"As soon as they finish up."Beth texts Jared,who's in the room with Leigh and tells him Xavier's prognosis."Jared then tells Leigh"Xavier had an accident.But he's going to be fine."Leigh asks"Was he hurt?"Jared tells her"He has a concussion and a few broken ribs,and wants to leave."Leigh breathes a sigh of relief and tells her Son In Law"I don't think I could handle anything else after all that's happened recently."Jared agrees with her and responds"Sully either.She is really doing well.My Mom's there and she's watching over her."Leigh tells him with a smile"You've done well taking care of my little girl."Jared shrugs and tells Leigh"She's everything to me."Leigh gets up and she and Jared heads down to the ER.
  Beth meanwhile walks over to Desi's triage and is informed of her condition.Desi is alert but she got the bad end of the wreck,with her doctor telling Beth"I don't think she'll make it."Beth tells the doctor"Tell her kids about this,better to come to you,than me."Beth heads out into the waiting room and sees Frank and gives him a hug and tells him"He will make it!"Frank tells Beth"He is very lucky.Somebody was watching over him.Good thing I taught him how to drive."Beth laughs and says"He's tough."Aretha and Rachel arrives and Rachel sees Beth and asks about Desi.Beth tells Rachel"She's alert,you can see her if you'd like to."Aretha encourages Rachel"Go see her.This may be it."Rachel walks back into the ER to her Mother's triage and the doctor informs her on Desi's condition.Rachel is upset and asks him"How bad was it?"The doctor begins to tell Rachel and Desi tells Rachel"I'm surprised your here.I want to tell you something."Rachel is silent.Outside the triage,Michael has arrived and overhears his Sister in the triage.Desi tells Rachel with a weak tone"I apologize for not believing you."Rachel asks her Mother"Isn't it a bit late?"Desi tells her Daughter"I made some mistakes.I'm sorry."Rachel starts to cry and walks out of the room and Michael watches and rushes in the triage,and looks at his Mother and Desi cries and says to him"I'm glad to see you."Michael is silent and now knows the truth concerning his Sister and his Father but realizing his Mom could die,lets it go and tells his Mom,keeping calm"I'm glad your still here."Michael grabs her hand and she tells him"I'm going to make it."Michael tells her"You are the famous Desi Lane."Michael holds his Mother's hand as she holds tight and they both look at each other with tears in their eyes.
   Meanwhile,Burt has returned to Jackson Inc and is informed of Xavier and Desi's accident by Bobby.Burt is taken back and asks Bobby calmly"Is Xavier going to survive?"Bobby nods and says"One thing I can say without a doubt in my mind is Xavier is made of steel.He's one of the toughest people I know.B.R. was watching over him"Burt says to Bobby"As long as I've known Xavier,he had many people looking after him I think.Don't forget about J.D. "Bobby nods and Bobby pours them a drink when they walk into his office and celebrate Xavier's survival.In the waiting room,Beth is with Frank and she walks over to Aretha and tells her with tears in her eyes,with Frank holding her"I owe you one for saving my son.Thank you."Beth hugs Aretha and Frank tells Beth"The Jacksons and The Evans family goes a long way back.Mama and Willie have been best-friends since childhood and her Father was one of my heroes."Beth smiles and laughs,telling Frank"You always wanted to haul yourself when we were dating,then you hit the big time."Frank looks at Beth and laughs,saying to his ex-wife"I ran with Sidney often when I was a kid and he let me drive often,but Mama doesn't know."Beth and Aretha all have a laugh as Beth is notified that she has a visitor in her office.She heads down and she thinks it could possibly be the results of Rachel's paternity results.She leaves and Michael and Rachel come out into the waiting room.Michael talks to Frank as Rachel tells Aretha"I'm ready to go."As they begin to leave,Michael stops Rachel and tells his Sister"I want to apologize for never believing you."Rachel looks at him and doesn't say a word and she leaves.
  Leigh has been released as Terrance tells her"You will have to stay here tonight.He may have planned escape."Leigh,Jared,and Terrance has walked into Xavier's room,and Xavier smiles,seeing Leigh,who's in a cast from being shot in the shoulder,walks over to him and grabs his hand with tears in her eyes and tells him holding back tears with a smile"I'm not letting you go nowhere."Xavier looks at her and says with his voice slightly slurred due to his concussion"I can't leave yet."He looks at Leigh and tells her"I waited too long already for my family and I wasn't ready to go."He sits up in the bed and grabs Leigh as he hugs her and both cry of joy and Jared tells them"Don't forget my wife,she'll be glad to know you're fine."Xavier tells him with a smile"I can't leave her especially.I can't leave my girls."Jared laughs and walks out of the room,and walks up to the Psychiatric Wing to see Sully to tell her of Xavier and Desi's accident.As for Desi,Michael has returned to his Mother's side as she's been taken to a room and Desi asks Michael"Did Xavier make it?"Michael tells her"He survived."Desi tells her Son"I want you and Rachel to make up."Michael is silent for a second and tells Desi"I will try Mom."Desi smiles at her son as he gives her a hug and tells her"You've got a lot of things left to do.Don't try to leave just yet."Desi tells him weakly"I have no intentions to."Back in Xavier's room,Leigh is laying in Xavier's bed,next to him,as he holds her and says to her"I think we should leave and return to Blue Ridge once our Princess gets well."Leigh asks Xavier"Are you planning something X?"Xavier in a slurry sly tone says"I might be.I think it would do us good and we could do something else possibly."Leigh smiles and asks him"What else are you thinking?"Xavier shrugs and says to her,as they stare at each other"I got a surprise for you."She hugs him and they are quiet as they lay next to each other in his hospital bed,as they hold on to each other as he looks at her and she smiles at him.Meanwhile,Beth has returned to her office and is shocked as her visitor says"Beth.My sweet Beth."Beth looks at the older lady and says with tears starting to flow"You're here Mama."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 87. Exposed

   It's the next morning and at Hell Hill, Beth finds Xavier in the kitchen, sitting down deep in thought. Beth asks Xavier "How's Leigh this morning?" Xavier responds "She's still having headaches." Beth sits down and looks at Xavier and Xavier cautiously and suspecting asks his Mother "Do you know something?" Beth looks down and opens up her purse and pulls out a folder and shows it to Xavier. He opens the folder and sees two DNA results and asks Beth "Which one of these are real?" Beth shows Xavier and calmly tells him "Pedro had the results changed." Xavier is quiet and thinks to himself briefly before replying "I want to know everything that has happened to my wife while she was gone." Beth tells Xavier "I plan to find out everything this morning. I want you to stay with Leigh and stay quiet until I find out everything. Xavier tells his Mother "I will see what Leigh can remember as well.Something doesn't add up." Beth gives her Son a hug and heads to The Sunset Club. Upstairs in the bedroom Leigh wakes up and Cecelia walks into the room and asks her Mother "You don't look well." Leigh has another flashback and stares at Cecelia and Cecelia tells her "I brought you some coffee." Cecelia gives the cup to Leigh as Xavier comes into the room and tells Leigh "That's not going to help your headache." Cecelia gives an evil look to Xavier as Leigh has another flashback and says to Xavier "What is she doing in our bedroom?" Xavier looks at Leigh and then turns to Cecelia and calmly tells her "Let your Mom rest. She had a rough night last night." Cecelia walks out of the room and Xavier lays down next to Leigh and asks her "Do you remember something?" Leigh says to Xavier "I don't know. I have these nightmares and they seem so real." Leigh looks lost and Xavier hugs her and Leigh tells Xavier "She's helping them." Xavier asks "Who's helping them." Leigh says to Xavier in a tone of certainty and has another flashback and answers "Cecelia."
  Meanwhile at The Sunset Club, Pedro is having coffee with his daughter Cara, and he tells her in a tone of fear "Beth knows the truth." Cara rolls her eyes and looks at her Father with disappointment, asking him "Are you still helping Mother?" Pedro tells Cara with regret "I was scared. Daniel and your Mom both knows about what happened years ago and if I didn't play along, my life was in danger." Cara quickly says in frustration "You're a walking dead man now that Beth knows. And if she knows?" Pedro finishes her question and responds with a paranoid look "Xavier will know also." Beth meanwhile arrives and watches them and Cara gets up to leave and gives her Father a word of advice, telling him "You need to leave town and don't look back if you want to live." She leaves and Beth walks over and asks Pedro with a smile "You ready to go upstairs with me?" Pedro looks at Beth, who has a flirtatious look and says softly "I got a surprise for you Dr.Del Mar." She grabs Pedro's tie and leads him upstairs into her suite and once they get inside the room, Beth takes off her coat to show him her surprise." Pedro is silent and can't take his eyes off of Beth as she walks over to him and leads him to the bed. She takes off his jacket and softly grabs his hands and handcuffs his wrists to the bedposts. Pedro says cautiously with a smile "I would never thought you were into this kind of stuff." Beth strokes Pedro's chest and looks him in the eyes and says to him "And I wouldn't think you would hurt my family but we can look beyond that." Pedro is silent as Beth walks over to her bag and pulls out a knife and a bottle of liquid medication and tells him softly and in a seductive manner "I want to play a game so be a good boy." Pedro looks at Beth and is now scared as she asks "Who are you protecting Pedro? And who is the stranger in Xavier's home?" Pedro answers confidently "I'm helping nobody Beth. I am out of the loop." Beth then picks up her knife and jumps on top of him aggressively and points the knife at his chest and says to him "If that was true, then why did you mess with those DNA tests?" Pedro gets upset and asks Beth "I thought we were going to make up Beth? I only tried to protect you." Beth gets into Pedro's face and hisses "I think you're protecting your wife."
  At City Hospital ,Burt has arrived at Beth's office and is surprised to see Ava there and asks Ava "Are you here because of Rachel?" Ava sarcastically answers "I'm here because I love the view from the window." Ava then asks Burt "Why are you here? Are you sick?" Burt answers "I'm here for the same reason as you are Ava." Ava rolls her eyes and asks Burt "You didn't sleep with Rachel too did you? That makes her a whore." Burt gets defensive and tells Ava "Rachel and I dated and I know she's pregnant." Ava perks up and happily asks "So does that mean you may be Daddy to Rachel's bastard child?" Burt tells Ava "I may be.Jack definitely isn't." Ava tells Burt "You've knocked one possibility off the list. Now this child could either belong to you or Xavier." Burt asks "Xavier?" Ava answers "Didn't Rachel tell you that she seduced my brother when she came back to town?" Burt slowly answers in shock "I didn't know that." Ava tells Burt "Rachel is like a merry go round. I'll leave Beth a message for you." Burt tells Ava "Don't worry about becoming a Grandmother. I can promise you that your son is not the father and I will prove it." Ava walks Burt out and tells him "Go tell Dr.Evans to test you." Burt goes to find Terrance as Ava follows behind him and says to herself with a evil laugh "What a whore you are Rachel."
   Meanwhile at Chantel's, Cara has arrived to meet up with Michael. Cara asks him "You should have called me sooner." Michael tells Cara "You're my last hope for Mom." Cara asks "Is Desi still in jail?" Michael gets emotional and tells Cara "My Mother did not kill Winston Hale. The Jacksons are punishing her unfairly. They own this town and Xavier and his family are out to destroy her." Cara gives Michael a shocked look and tells him "Your Mother is definitely innocent. I know that for a fact. She will be released today." Michael is happy, but asks "What do you know about Winston Hale?" Cara tells him "He's alive and well. I have proof and once the ALPD sees it, they will have to drop the charges." Michael thanks Cara and Cara shrugs and says to Michael "I went to law school for reasons like this. I'll call you and keep you informed." Michael thanks Cara once again and heads out. Meanwhile Jared has been sitting behind them and has over-heard them and tells his former Step-Mother sternly "You'd be wise to leave this case alone." Cara looks at Jared and reminds him "My job is to protect the innocent. Nothing you say can stop me!" Jared warns Cara "Don't say I didn't warn you. I got the SEC on speed-dial." Cara looks at Jared and is silent and Jared tells her "Father told me all about your Mother. I only care about my wife and if Desi is set free, then you'll be visiting your Mom in Unity Prison." Jared walks away and notices a text from Xavier, he reads it and is shocked and has a flashback to a visit with his Mom, Gabriella the day Sully was admitted to the Psychiatric Wing (Flashback: Jared's walking out and Gabriella tells him "Jared, there's a mole in Sully's family. Jared looks at his Mother and asks "What are you talking about?" Gabriella says "Something's about to go down and it won't end well but yet bring peace to some." Jared looks at her and gives her a hug and says "I love you Mom. Take care of Sully.") Jared heads to City Hospital to check on his Mother and his Wife and has a look of defeat as he leaves.
   Back in her suite at The Sunset Club, Pedro is now terrified as Beth continues to stroke her knife along Pedro's chest, in a flirtatious manner, warning him "If there's ever a chance we could have a relationship again, you need to be honest with me." Pedro's phone rings and Beth pulls the phone out of Pedro's pocket and asks him "What would Cecelia be doing calling you?" Beth turns off the phone and she puts back on her coat as she gets up and walks back over to her bag and pulls out her pistol, and points it at Pedro .Beth, who is now angry and growing frustrated cuts to the chase and tells Pedro "I have had enough of this tactic, we're going to try another method. Tell me the truth or I will kill you!" Pedro warns Beth "If you kill me then you'll never know the truth about Leigh or Cecelia." Beth yells at him "If you don't start talking, I'll lose my temper. What will it be?" Pedro then confesses to Beth "Eve was involved as well. She viewed Leigh as a threat when she was up and coming in the fashion world and when Leigh was shot and brought into the hospital, Daniel blackmailed me as well as Eve and I was forced to do it or else I could have been killed." Beth asks "What did Daniel have on you?" Pedro tells her "A powerful figure in Europe died while under my care in Paris. I killed him purposely because he was seeing Eve and Daniel and  Eve both knew about it and used it as leverage." Beth gets angry and asks "Now tell me who Cecelia is?" Pedro tells Beth "Daniel and Cecelia were lovers. When Leigh woke from her Catatonic State, Daniel told her she was her daughter." Beth is furious and tells Pedro "I'm glad you told me the truth for once. But I lied when I said we'd make up. You will pay for this." She pulls off a wire and tells him "Xavier and Leigh will know about this." Cecelia meanwhile is outside the door and has heard Beth and Pedro and walks away and looks in her purse at a syringe and hides once she spots Beth leaving the suite, locking the door behind her." Cecelia follows Beth as Pedro remains on the bed, hand-cuffed and is silent, knowing what's to come.
   At City Hospital, Burt is in Terrance's office and Terrance tells Burt "You should know the results by tomorrow." Burt thanks him and walks out. He sees Rachel, with Aretha and Rachel asks Burt "What are you doing here?" Burt tells her "I know you're pregnant and I will know soon if I'm the father." Rachel looks down and says "I know who it is Burt, but it isn't you." Aretha walks over and asks Burt "Who are you?" Burt tells Aretha "I'm the famous Burt Corbin from Rachel's book." Aretha is silent and looks at Rachel and asks her "I take it you and him were close at one time?" Rachel nods and Terrance walks out and tells Rachel "I'm ready." Rachel and Aretha follow Terrance to the exam room. Upstairs, Jared arrives at the Psychiatric Wing and visits with his Mother, Gabriella. Jared tells her "You were right." Gabriella grabs her son's hands and warns him "It's about to get dark in your world." Jared asks "What do you mean?" Gabriella tells Jared "There's about to be fireworks in your world and Sully's." At Hell Hill, Leigh has put the pieces together as they listened to Beth's visit with Pedro and Leigh is stunned as she now knows that Cecelia isn't her daughter nor Xavier's." Xavier tells Leigh "It's best we don't alert Cecelia because she may kill you if she remotely suspects we've caught on." Cecelia has arrived at Hell Hill and lets herself in and lurks in the shadows as Beth also arrives. Xavier greets his Mother and tells her "Leigh's memory is coming back. She heard as well as I." Beth tells her Son "I did what I had to do but I've got Pedro tied up at the moment. Take care of him while I tend to your wife." Xavier gives his Mother a hug and heads to visit Pedro. Meanwhile upstairs, Leigh comes out of the bathroom and finds Cecelia standing in the bedroom, holding a syringe. Cecelia coldly tells Leigh "I'm not going out by myself." She walks towards Leigh with the syringe and Leigh screams. Beth rushes upstairs as well as Xavier as he hears her scream from outside. Upstairs, Cecelia has knocked Leigh on the floor and jumps on top of her, aiming the syringe at Leigh's chest says coldly "Time to finish you off." Beth walks in and aims her pistol at Cecelia and warns her "You are busted." Cecelia yells at Beth "You should have left us alone." Beth's finger is on the trigger as Leigh screams at Cecelia and Xavier is upstairs and sneaks into the bedroom, through the closet, which also has an entry to the hall. Cecelia uses Leigh as a shield and asks Beth "Do you want to do the honors or shall I do them?" Xavier quietly sneaks up behind Cecelia and Leigh with his Colt 45 aimed at Cecelia and Beth's also aimed at Cecelia, who makes a move and then there's a shot!

  Downstairs in Beth's office,Pedro has arrived and Beth isn't happy to see him.Pedro tells Beth with concern"How's Sully doing?I heard she's upstairs getting help for some issues."Beth tells him"Yes she is and I am taking care of her."Pedro then asks Beth"How have you been?I've missed you."Beth gets frustrated and answers"How in the hell do you think I've been Pedro?My Granddaughter's lost her child.Ruth hasn't been well.You tell me."Pedro tells Beth"I am here for you in you need me Beth.I never meant to hurt you."Beth yells at Pedro"You should have told me about Leigh being alive instead of keeping it from me and her family."Pedro attempts to calm Beth down but Beth is heated and tells Pedro sternly"The only thing I want to hear from you is the truth about what happened to Leigh and your part in everything."Pedro looks at Beth and says with sadness in his eyes"Daniel blackmailed me into going along with his sick plan.I made a mistake in Paris which resulted in a patient's death.When Leigh was brought into the hospital and revived,Daniel told me to stay quiet or else he was going to reveal what happened.I helped him and I have regretted it ever since."Beth looks at Pedro and tells him"I can understand you not knowing that Leigh was Xavier's wife but there's more to this.Until you tell me the rest,I don't want to see you again."Pedro looks down and begins to walk out.He turns around and tells Beth,with remorse"I am sorry for the pain I caused you and your family."Pedro leaves and outside has a flashback and says to himself with regret"I've lost her."Meanwhile Beth gets a text from Leigh and Beth heads out to meet her Daughter In Law for lunch at Chantel's.

  At Chantel's,Beth arrives to meet with Leigh and finds Xavier there also and Xavier asks his Mother"How is Sully adjusting?"Beth tells them"So far,so well.She's seeing Dr.Barry Cole and he is one of the best psychiatrists in the country.He arrived this morning at my request to take care of her."Xavier and Leigh are relieved and Leigh tells Beth and Xavier"I got an announcement to make as well.I'm going to work at Class.I spoke to Ava and I'm going to help out until Sully gets well."Xavier hugs her and says happily"I'm glad you're doing it.You will be a huge asset and it will be a huge relief to the investors and our daughter."Leigh tells Xavier"I got a lot of things to catch up on.I've been out of the fashion world for a long time."Beth congratulates Leigh and asks"Have you told Cecelia about this yet?She could model and follow in your footsteps."Leigh tells them"I haven't seen her today.I've called her but she hasn't answered."Xavier tells them"She may be out exploring the estate or Adam's Landing."At Hell Hill,Cecelia is at the creek and notices the storm shelter on the property.She gets curious and walks inside and notices the shackles on the ground and a phone.She picks up the phone and finds it to be Chant's.She grows suspicious and makes a phone call to Leigh.At Chantel's Leigh answers the phone and Cecelia tells her"I need to talk to you privately.I'm at Hell Hill."Leigh tells her"I'll be there shortly."Leigh gives Xavier a kiss and tells him and Beth"Cecelia needs to see me.I'll see you tonight."Xavier smiles as Leigh walks away and watches her walk out with stars in his eyes.Beth notices and says to her son"Miracles happen Xavier.Everything will be ok with Sully.She's stronger than we give her credit for."Xavier tells his Mother"She deserves some peace and I hope she finds it."Beth assures him"She will be."Beth then gets a phone call from Terrance and tells Beth"I need to speak to you."Beth gives Xavier a hug and tells him"I need to get back to the Hospital.I'll see you later."Beth leaves and Xavier pays the waiter and returns to Jackson Inc.

  Aretha arrives home and finds Willie sitting in the living room,watching her favorite soap.Willie turns off the TV and notices something different with her Daughter and asks Aretha"What's bothering you baby?"Aretha tells her Mother"Mama,if I tell you,I want you to keep this to yourself."Willie asks Aretha"Is this about Rachel?"Aretha tells her"Rachel told me something that made me sick."Willie gets concerned,and asks"What was it?"Aretha starts to cry and says"Rachel was sexually molested by her Father when she was a teenager."Willie turns off the TV and looks at her Daughter in shock and says with sorrow"That poor girl.How did her Mama react or her family?Aretha sighs"Desi disowned her and her family didn't help her at all.She's had it rough and it breaks my heart."Willie is disgusted and comments"For a Mother to do that to their child after something like that happens is appalling.My heart goes out to her.I'm proud of you being there for her."Aretha asks her Mother"Would it be ok with you if I asked her to stay with us.She's going to need a safe place with all that's happening?"Willie hugs her daughter and tells her"I'll go prepare a seat for her at the dinner table and get a room ready for her."Willie however warns her"Let Rachel know about Sidney so she is prepared."Aretha assures her Mother"She knows about Daddy.I just hope she accepts."
