It's the next day in Adam's Landing,At Hell Hill,Xavier and Leigh are in the bedroom and Xavier leans over and kisses Leigh gently and Leigh wakes up and smiles at Xavier as he holds her hand.Xavier gets up to get dressed to go to Jackson Inc.Leigh asks Xavier"I take it you're going to be a busy man today huh X?"Xavier tells her"Bobby and I got to go over a few things about Winston."Leigh gets up as well and tells Xavier,holding him"I'll find out this morning if it's true.Beth told me last night I have all the signs of being pregnant."Xavier laughs and says"When we got married the first time,you were carrying Sully and it's deja vu all over."Leigh jokes"At our age,normally we wouldn't be expecting.We're both in our 40s.You're close to 50."Xavier looks at Leigh and says"Age isn't nothing but a number.We can do it.I also got Rachel's child to look forward to also."Leigh tells Xavier"At least our child will have a playmate."Xavier laughs and heads out for Jackson Inc.Leigh gets ready to head to City Hospital to visit the OBGYN."
At Class,Sully's arrived to her office and the receptionist tells her"The tuxedo and wedding dress are in."Sully looks at them and smiles,saying"They are perfect.I think Mom and Daddy are going to love this."Sully changes subjects and asks"Where is Aunt Ava this morning?"The receptionist says"She is in Valley Ridge.She said she's taking care of something."The receptionist leaves and Sully thinks for a moment and says quietly after looking in her desk"Winston may be on fire after Ava's finished with him."At Northbrook,Winston arrives downstairs and sees Ava and asks her in a tone of disgust"Why in the hell are you here Ava?"Ava quips"Remember when I had to take ownership of Foodstar years ago Winston?And this lovely estate that's real estate value could bring in millions."Winston gets angry and yells"Don't you dare do it you crazy bitch!"Ava laughs"I've spoken to a developer and the planning committee.Valley Ridge does need a mall and Class could use another location.It's win win for me.Northbrook Center Mall.The largest in the state!"Winston defends himself saying"I did the same thing you did when you got control of Lane's."Ava smiles and says"Yes I did,but I didn't sneak in playing possum like you either when I made my intentions known.I didn't take advantage of J.D. Sullivan's widow in her time of trouble."We're going to deal and it's one of two choices,you sell me those shares or I sell this house."Winston reminds Ava"I haven't signed those divorce papers yet because I refuse to let you take my home from me."Ava looks at Winston and says"It's gone either way you look at it.Hale Island will be all you'll have left after I'm finished if you don't deal."Winston is silent and Ava pulls a pen out of her purse and says"Sign on the dotted line on these papers and save yourself."
At FJR,Frank's in the shop,checking over the cars and tells a crew member"We got LaFayette won."A young woman walks in the shop and says"Yes we do Boss."Frank turns around to see his newest driver,Allison North,a female racer who's already got some wins under her belt and quickly making a name for herself in the racing world.Frank tells Allison"Are you ready to make history?"Allison asks Frank with a laugh"I think you're setting the bar too high?"Frank tells Allison"If you're going to win and be a champion,you have to think like one and believe it."Allison says"I already got some Championships in the lower series so I think we're good to go."Frank agrees and Allison asks Frank"Want to go have breakfast?"Frank is quiet,looking at Allison and says"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"Allison responds"When I'm paying,I'll do the asking."Frank laughs and tells Allison"I'm your boss.If you win the season opener,then you can pay for it."Both laugh as they head down to Percy's.
Meanwhile Leigh's arrived at the OBGYN at City Hospital and he's taken an ultrasound and checked Leigh out.Beth walks in and has the results and tells Leigh with some hesitation"I told him to let me tell you rather than the other way around."Leigh asks"Well am I pregnant or was it a false alarm."Beth looks at Leigh and says with a tear"I got another Grandchild on the way.You and Xavier start quick."Leigh is happy but worried and tells her Mother In Law,"I'm in my 40s Beth.It is hard to grasp the fact of having a child at my age."Beth assures Leigh"Many Mothers have children in their 40s.Ciarra had a child in her 40s after trying for many years.Leigh this is fate.You have all of us here to support you and Xavier will be so happy."Leigh says to Beth"And Rachel's carrying Xavier's child too.At least this one will have a playmate."Both Beth and Leigh laughs and Beth tells Leigh"Rachel seduced Xavier.He didn't choose that.But Rachel seems to be smarter than her Mother.I don't think she'll be much trouble."Leigh asks Beth"Have you told Ciarra or Tenny or most importantly,Sully about this yet?"Beth warns Leigh"Sully has Xavier's temper.She will be overjoyed about you having a child but when it comes to Rachel,I think she will have some trouble with that."Leigh assures Beth"I think now that things are coming together,she may surprise us."Beth asks Leigh"How's Xavier handling Rachel's announcement?"Leigh says"He isn't pleased but I don't think he'll turn her away carrying his child."Beth sighs and says"Rachel Lane is now a part of the family so we will just have to accept it."Leigh nods and Beth tells Leigh"Go back home and rest up.We're going to have a party tonight at the house.Ladies only.And tomorrow you'll be walking down the aisle with Xavier."Leigh smiles as does Beth and they hug and Beth tells Leigh"I already got everything taken care of and Ciarra is running errands so don't worry about anything."Leigh thanks Beth and heads out.Beth walks out of the exam room and sees the OBGYN and he tells Beth"Dr.Jackson,I found something on the ultrasound Leigh needs to know about."Beth is concerned and asks"Is this good or bad?We don't need any bad news now."The OBGYN responds"There was two heartbeats."Beth is shocked and says"Two?Oh my god I think I'm going to faint myself!"The OBGYN laughs and says"I remember you telling me that twins run in the family,well you were right."Beth is speechless and tells him"I'll tell Leigh tonight at the bachelorette party.Wow."Beth heads out and says to herself with a smile"Twins."
At Jackson Inc,Xavier's arrived in his office and Bobby,Burt,and Jared are waiting for him.Xavier asks them"Any word from Ava yet on how the negotiations are going with Winston?"Burt responds"No word yet."Ava returns to the office and says to them"Winston caved like I knew the old bastard would.Divorce's official and our family still owns Jackson Inc."Ava hands her Brother the papers and he and Bobby looks at them and Xavier asks his Sister curiously"How did you manage to pull this off?"Ava says with a shrug"I threatened him.I told him if he didn't sign the papers,Northbrook would be a name for Valley Ridge's new mall."Bobby reads the papers and says to Ava"You played Winston at his own game.Did he read this?"Ava tells all of them"He didn't have much choice.We have Tenny's shares back,and I have what I want."Xavier looks at Ava and grins,telling his Sister"This only makes my day better.We are about to make Billions.Smart move Sis."Xavier opens the vault and pours everyone a drink and says"This was Father's stash of shine that he kept here for occasions like this.To the future!"All toasts and Burt and Jared quips"Damn that's strong!"Bobby tells them"The Jackson shine was well known for its kick."Burt quips"Must be a Southern thing."Everyone laughs as Ava heads out.Ava tells them"I got to head home to make sure I have no unwanted guests."Xavier tells Ava"I know about Rachel Sis."Ava rolls her eyes and she tells Xavier"Don't let the whore spoil your wedding.She's walking a tightrope with me."Ava leaves and Burt follows.Inside the office,Xavier,Bobby,and Jared are shocked at Ava's tactics and Xavier quips"She pulled one on Winston.He won't take this well so be ready."Outside,Burt catches up to Ava and tells her"She didn't respond to my calls last night."Ava assures Burt"I got that bitch's number.I'm going to Class and then to Leigh's bachelorette party.After Xavier and Leigh marries,then we'll worry about Rachel."Ava leaves and Burt fears of what Ava's got in mind,knowing her methods as well as her history.
Meanwhile,Frank and Allison has returned to FJR and he finds Ruth at the shop and she asks her Son"Who's this kid you're with?"Frank says"Mama she's only 22.She's my new driver for my second car."Frank introduces Allison to his Mother and Ruth shakes Allison's hand and notices something and tells Frank"May I see you in your office.Privately."Frank follows Ruth and once in his office,Ruth asks Frank"I know that look Frank.And I don't approve."Frank asks"What look?"Ruth says sternly"You're attracted to that girl and you're too damn old to be seeing a girl that's young enough to be your Grandchild!"Frank assures his Mother"It's strictly business.She drives for me and that's it."Ruth hugs Frank and says"I hope so."In the shop"Allison makes a phone call and says"Meet me tonight at my room at The Sunset Club.I miss you."At Class,Sully is on the phone making sure everything is set for Leigh's bachelorette party and Ava returns and Sully points over to Xavier's tuxedo and Leigh's dress and asks Ava"What do you think?"Ava tells Sully"I think this wedding is going to be absolutely beautiful.You did a great job."Ava hugs her Niece as Leigh arrives and Sully asks her Mother"Check it out."Leigh looks at her wedding dress and Xavier's tuxedo and quips"It'll be weird seeing X wearing white."All of them laughs and Beth arrives and looks at them and tells Leigh"I think it's time."Leigh asks"I thought we were going to wait until tonight."Ava rolls her eyes in suspicion and Sully asks Leigh"What's going on?"Leigh tells Sully"You're about to have a sibling.I'm expecting."Beth then tells Leigh"The OBGYN forgot to mention something to me earlier though."Ava's quiet and Sully's excited for her parents and gives Leigh a hug and Beth tells Leigh"There was two heartbeats in that ultrasound.You're having twins."Leigh is stunned as is Sully and Ava is silent."Sully can't believe it.Beth tells her Granddaughter"Twins run in the Jackson side of the family."Everyone's blown away and Ava hugs her Sister In Law and says"Congratulations."Leigh says"Wow!Twins."Beth says"It's about to be a full house at Hell Hill."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 96. Regrets
Outside Hell Hill,Rachel begins to knock on the door with Jack by her side.Jack softly grabs Rachel's wrist and tells her"It sounds like the entire family's here.I don't think now's the right time to drop this on Uncle Xavier,with his upcoming wedding and all."Rachel is hesitant and asks Jack"Your Mom wants to use this as leverage on me.If I don't tell him first,then she will and I won't give her those honors."Inside Hell Hill,Xavier,Leigh,Sully,Beth,Ciarra and Jacob are celebrating Xavier's and Leigh's upcoming wedding,with Sully offering a toast to her parents,telling them"To the perfect couple."All toasts as Xavier receives a phone call as does Ciarra.Both answers the phone as Xavier's speaking to Bobby and Ciarra's speaking to Tenny.Xavier hangs up the phone as does Ciarra and a feeling of tension rises in the living room.Leigh asks Xavier"Who called you X?"Xavier's silent as Ciarra looks down and looks at her Great-nephew and tells him"I feared she'd do this."Beth asks them"Is this about Mama?"Xavier in a distant tone tells them"She's just sold her shares of Jim's."Beth and Sully are shocked and Leigh is stunned and Beth catches the look in Xavier's eyes and asks her Son"Who bought her shares?"Ciarra tells them"Tenny didn't tell me who she sold them to but apparently it will get her out of her mess."Xavier puts on his coat and tells Leigh and Sully"I'm going to Jackson Inc."Leigh notices Xavier's distance and asks him"Do you know who bought Tenny's shares?"Xavier kisses Leigh and says"I'll worry about this my love.You focus on our wedding."Sully receives a text from Jared and she warns her Mother"I think your honeymoon may be in The Balkans."Xavier leaves and Rachel and Jack hides in the bushes outside the house as Xavier rushes off.Jack tells Rachel"We need to leave.They don't call this place Hell Hill for its beauty."Rachel and Jack leaves shortly after Xavier and back inside,Sully tells the family that Winston Hale now owns Tenny's half of Jim's.Leigh shakes her head as does Ciarra and Jacob and Beth is furious and tells them"I don't know what to say.She's lost it.Winston Hale?"Sully is angry as is Ciarra and Jacob and he tells them"My brother is rolling in his grave right now with what Tenny's just done."
At The Sunset Club,Tenny has returned to her room and she is emotional and starts to cry.Her phone rings and she checks it to see it's Beth.Tenny doesn't answer the phone and paces the floor,feeling shame for what she's done.Tenny then feels a tap on her shoulder and turns around and sees that it's J.D.'s ghost and he looks at his Wife with disappointment and anger.Tenny is frozen as J.D. asks his Wife"How could you Tennessee?How could you sell your shares in a company Jacob and I started to someone who's caused our family much grief and pain?"Tenny looks at him and cries"It's all I had to get out of this mess with the bookies in Monaco."J.D. is angry and shakes his head in disgust and tells Tenny sternly"You should have reached out to Xavier,Beth,Jacob,Ciarra.Your family Tennessee."Tenny says somberly to her Husband"I didn't want them to get caught up in this.This was my fault and I didn't want to worry them."J.D. coldly tells Tenny"All you had to do was ask your family for help.Now you have done damage that may not be repaired.You always had the selfish tendencies,but I'd never thought you'd do what you did Tennessee.I'm ashamed of you."Tenny yells"When you died,I was lost!You were my rock,our family's rock.I broke down when they put you in the ground."J.D. says"I know you did Tennessee.I know about the one night stand with Burt and that I could understand.You however went to Monaco and you got in over your head.I warned you when I was alive about your indulgence.You were selfish."Tenny yells"I couldn't stay in Blue Ridge without you J.D..I left and when I was in Monaco,I could live without being haunted everyday,at home,around the family,of being reminded you were gone."J.D. reminds Tenny"I never left you Tennessee.I watch over you every day,every night when you sleep,when you do anything,I'm the angel watching over you.You can't see me.."Tenny finishes his sentence and says"I can feel you in my heart.I am an old fool."J.D. touches Tenny's face and says to her"You're not a fool nor are you crazy.But you have to make your wrongs right.I want you to visit our sweet Beth and the family and apologize."Tenny asks"She will hate me.God knows what Xavier will do."J.D. sternly says to his wife"I'm watching you.You fix this now!"J.D. disappears and Tenny yells for J.D. and she falls on the bed and cries into her pillow and asks herself"What have I done?"
Meanwhile,Beth goes to The Farm and knocks on the door and Ruth answers the door.Ruth notices a sad look on Beth's face and Ruth asks"Did Leigh decline Xavier's proposal?"Beth tells her"They're getting married in a few days Ruth.My Mother however has dampened our spirits."Ruth tells Beth to sit down and Ruth sits with her and asks Beth"What did your Mama do Beth?"Beth fills Ruth in on what's going on and Ruth is floored and she is silent and asks Beth"Winston holds a part of Jackson Inc?"Beth nods and shakes her head in anger and says"My Mama never did get over Daddy.She held it all in and after a few years,she left for Europe,and ended up in Monaco and she cut everyone off."Ruth holds Beth and tells her"When you lose someone you love,sometimes that happens.Look at Xavier when he lost Leigh,he changed in many ways.I remember when I came to town and he was staying in J.D. and Tenny's house,just because he couldn't stay in a house filled with memories of his soul mate."Beth says"He didn't run away though."Ruth admits to Beth"I left town years ago because of Brock Jr and Jamie.After Jamie hurt Ava like she did,I had thoughts enter into my mind I knew I shouldn't have had."Beth is stunned and asks Ruth"Did you think about.."Ruth says"Running her down and killing her?Yes I did.Ava became a different person after that.Although she's much better than she was,she will always be scarred from what happened to her.It hurts me to see that."Beth tells Ruth"Mama doesn't seem like she even cares anymore.She's so distant and I don't know what I can do for her."Ruth hugs Beth and tells her"Be there for her.She made a mistake that will affect all of us.Pray and know that your Son will take care of this."Beth asks Ruth"Where is Frank?"Ruth tells Beth"He had to go to FJR to a meeting.It's racing season."Beth laughs and Ruth assures Beth"Everything will be fine.You get ready for that wedding!Everything will work out."Beth hugs Ruth and heads back to Hell Hill.Ruth meanwhile calls Frank and doesn't receive an answer.She considers checking on him,but since it's evening,she stays at the house.
At Jackson Inc,Xavier's arrived in his office and sees Jared,Ava,Burt,and Bobby and all of them are furious and angry at what Tenny has done.Xavier tells them"Grandma was in trouble.She never kept up with the rivals when it came to business.Papaw did that and she did not know what she got herself into."Ava tells her Brother"Winston knew who she was.Winston kept up with Tenny after your Grandfather died.He kept tabs on her through Chant since he was a globe-trotter and stayed in Monaco often.He's been waiting for this."Jared adds"Grandfather won't win this."Meanwhile Bobby gives Ava the re-written papers from her divorce from Winston,which isn't finalized and Bobby tells Xavier"We got the upper hand on Winston."Ava tells Xavier"Once I'm officially Ava Jackson again,I got plans to give a nice present to Valley Ridge if that old snake doesn't sell his part in this company!"Burt checks his phone and tells everyone"Winston has 35% of Jackson Inc now and I expect he'll make a power play."Ava tells her Brother"I want you to worry about your wedding to Leigh.Winston doesn't realize what he's gotten himself into."Jared tells all of them"If anything else we'll give him his damn Foodstar if that will get him out of the picture."Bobby,Xavier,and Ava tells Jared"He's been waiting for this for too long.He is enjoying this."Jared is angry and Xavier is furious and Ava tells him"I'm going to Northbrook and make a deal with the evil bastard and he's going to take it!"All of them looks at Ava and Ava quips"I own Northbrook.I was his safety net.And he will take this offer or he'll be on the street or living in a mall if he doesn't take my offer!"Bobby gives Ava her divorce papers and Ava heads out.Jared heads home as Sully has returned to The Penthouse.Now only Xavier,Bobby,and Burt are in the room and Xavier tells them,before returning to Hell Hill,"If he doesn't play ball.I'll see to it Chant's dead!"Xavier leaves and Burt and Bobby are in the office and Burt tells Bobby"This is only the beginning."Bobby asks"What do you mean?"Burt says"Rachel's pregnant with Xavier's child."Bobby shakes his head and pours himself a drink and says"We seem to never catch a damn break!"Burt nods in agreement and heads for home.Once he's outside,he calls Rachel,telling her"Meet me at my house.I want to give you something."
Meanwhile at Hell Hill,Leigh,Ciarra and Jacob are sitting in the living room,watching the TV as Beth returns and she asks"Has Xavier came home yet?"Both say"He's probably doing damage control."Beth tells her Aunt and Uncle"I talked to Ruth earlier and she told me not to judge Mama."Ciarra responds"Ruth is very wise.Tennessee made a mistake and she's kicking herself for it.But we can't abandon her."Beth agrees and Leigh walks down the stairs and asks them"Has X returned yet?"All of them say"Not yet."Leigh feels faint and tells Beth"I don't feel good."Beth tells Leigh"I'll meet you upstairs and I'll check you out."They head upstairs as Ciarra and Jacob looks at each other and Ciarra tells Jacob"Pa,I think Sully may have a sibling on the way."Jacob asks"You think so?"Ciarra says"Looks like it to me."There's a knock on the door and Ciarra answers the door and asks"May I help you?"Rachel says"I need to speak to Xavier Jackson."Ciarra lets Rachel and Jack inside and Xavier walks into the door and Xavier sees them and asks Rachel"What are you doing here?"Ciarra and Jacob looks on as they notice a bump on Rachel and she tells Xavier"You're going to be a father.Beth and Leigh returns downstairs and hears Rachel's announcement and Beth tells Leigh"Did you know about this tramp sleeping with your Husband?"Leigh sighs"Yes he told me about it."Xavier is quiet and Jack tells his Uncle"I tried to talk her out of telling you all of a sudden like this."Xavier walks out of the room and Leigh follows him.Ciarra and Jacob are confused and Beth walks over to Rachel and tells her"You have the worst timing of anyone I've ever known other than your Mother,but at least you came here and told him rather than hide it from him.Welcome to the family."Rachel looks down and says"I messed up and I apologize for it.I want to apologize to Xavier and Leigh for intruding."Beth puts her hands on Rachel's shoulders and tells her"Go home and give him some time to take this in."Rachel and Jack leaves and once outside,Jack quips to Rachel"That was a shocker."Rachel sighs and says"Your Mom now has no leverage on me."Jack gets a text from Ava,telling him"I'm going out of town.Be home tomorrow."Jack holds Rachel's hand and says"Let's go to my house.Coast is clear."Rachel checks her phone and sees a message from Burt but ignores it and leaves with Jack.
At The Penthouse,Jared returns home in a rage as Sully and Gabriella are there and Jared yells"I knew he'd do something like this.Grandfather's about to pay for this."Sully hugs him and assures him"Daddy will take care of him."Jared tells his Wife"Ava's got a wild card and I think she's the one that will make the old man cave."Gabriella looks at them and says"I think all of you need to be ready for anything.I think there's about to be many things about to change in your world."Sully and Jared looks at Gabriella with suspicion and asks her"What do you mean?"Gabriella says"I had a vision earlier and it could multiply."Jared and Sully both looks on,knowing what Gabriella means and they are silent and gives each other a kiss and heads to bed.At Burt's Home,Burt calls Rachel again but gets no message.He gets a text from Ava and tells him"Wait until I return to town before making your move."Burt blows out the candles he lit and heads to the bedroom,calling it a night.Ava meanwhile arrives at Northbrook and lets herself inside and sees Winston and snarls"Storm Shelters couldn't change you but I can."Winston asks"What in the hell are you talking about Ava?"Ava yells"You slithered your way into MY family's company.Now you have to deal with me!"Ava walks out and Winston sits silently and has a look of defeat and fear.At Hell Hill,Beth,Ciarra,and Jacob are in the living room as Beth's caught them up on the deal with Rachel.Tenny arrives and says to them"I'm sorry.I made a mistake.I am an old stubborn fool.I am ashamed of myself."Beth,Ciarra,and Jacob hugs Tenny and Beth tells her"We're here for you Mama.We all are."In the study,Xavier pours himself a drink and says to himself"Today started great and to end like this.."He throws the glass across the room in anger and Leigh walks in and tells him"If you're scared I'm going anywhere,I'm not.We'll work through this."She hugs Xavier and Xavier tells Leigh"I don't know what's going to happen with this.We're about to tie the knot again in 2 days and now I have a child on the way from the daughter of my old flame."Leigh pulls back and says to Xavier"Baby,that's not the only one."Xavier looks at Leigh and asks"Are you?"Leigh says with tears"We revisited Blue Ridge and everything and if you remember I was expecting."Xavier says calmly"Are you pregnant?"Leigh looks at him and says"Sully's about to have a sibling."
At The Sunset Club,Tenny has returned to her room and she is emotional and starts to cry.Her phone rings and she checks it to see it's Beth.Tenny doesn't answer the phone and paces the floor,feeling shame for what she's done.Tenny then feels a tap on her shoulder and turns around and sees that it's J.D.'s ghost and he looks at his Wife with disappointment and anger.Tenny is frozen as J.D. asks his Wife"How could you Tennessee?How could you sell your shares in a company Jacob and I started to someone who's caused our family much grief and pain?"Tenny looks at him and cries"It's all I had to get out of this mess with the bookies in Monaco."J.D. is angry and shakes his head in disgust and tells Tenny sternly"You should have reached out to Xavier,Beth,Jacob,Ciarra.Your family Tennessee."Tenny says somberly to her Husband"I didn't want them to get caught up in this.This was my fault and I didn't want to worry them."J.D. coldly tells Tenny"All you had to do was ask your family for help.Now you have done damage that may not be repaired.You always had the selfish tendencies,but I'd never thought you'd do what you did Tennessee.I'm ashamed of you."Tenny yells"When you died,I was lost!You were my rock,our family's rock.I broke down when they put you in the ground."J.D. says"I know you did Tennessee.I know about the one night stand with Burt and that I could understand.You however went to Monaco and you got in over your head.I warned you when I was alive about your indulgence.You were selfish."Tenny yells"I couldn't stay in Blue Ridge without you J.D..I left and when I was in Monaco,I could live without being haunted everyday,at home,around the family,of being reminded you were gone."J.D. reminds Tenny"I never left you Tennessee.I watch over you every day,every night when you sleep,when you do anything,I'm the angel watching over you.You can't see me.."Tenny finishes his sentence and says"I can feel you in my heart.I am an old fool."J.D. touches Tenny's face and says to her"You're not a fool nor are you crazy.But you have to make your wrongs right.I want you to visit our sweet Beth and the family and apologize."Tenny asks"She will hate me.God knows what Xavier will do."J.D. sternly says to his wife"I'm watching you.You fix this now!"J.D. disappears and Tenny yells for J.D. and she falls on the bed and cries into her pillow and asks herself"What have I done?"

Meanwhile at Hell Hill,Leigh,Ciarra and Jacob are sitting in the living room,watching the TV as Beth returns and she asks"Has Xavier came home yet?"Both say"He's probably doing damage control."Beth tells her Aunt and Uncle"I talked to Ruth earlier and she told me not to judge Mama."Ciarra responds"Ruth is very wise.Tennessee made a mistake and she's kicking herself for it.But we can't abandon her."Beth agrees and Leigh walks down the stairs and asks them"Has X returned yet?"All of them say"Not yet."Leigh feels faint and tells Beth"I don't feel good."Beth tells Leigh"I'll meet you upstairs and I'll check you out."They head upstairs as Ciarra and Jacob looks at each other and Ciarra tells Jacob"Pa,I think Sully may have a sibling on the way."Jacob asks"You think so?"Ciarra says"Looks like it to me."There's a knock on the door and Ciarra answers the door and asks"May I help you?"Rachel says"I need to speak to Xavier Jackson."Ciarra lets Rachel and Jack inside and Xavier walks into the door and Xavier sees them and asks Rachel"What are you doing here?"Ciarra and Jacob looks on as they notice a bump on Rachel and she tells Xavier"You're going to be a father.Beth and Leigh returns downstairs and hears Rachel's announcement and Beth tells Leigh"Did you know about this tramp sleeping with your Husband?"Leigh sighs"Yes he told me about it."Xavier is quiet and Jack tells his Uncle"I tried to talk her out of telling you all of a sudden like this."Xavier walks out of the room and Leigh follows him.Ciarra and Jacob are confused and Beth walks over to Rachel and tells her"You have the worst timing of anyone I've ever known other than your Mother,but at least you came here and told him rather than hide it from him.Welcome to the family."Rachel looks down and says"I messed up and I apologize for it.I want to apologize to Xavier and Leigh for intruding."Beth puts her hands on Rachel's shoulders and tells her"Go home and give him some time to take this in."Rachel and Jack leaves and once outside,Jack quips to Rachel"That was a shocker."Rachel sighs and says"Your Mom now has no leverage on me."Jack gets a text from Ava,telling him"I'm going out of town.Be home tomorrow."Jack holds Rachel's hand and says"Let's go to my house.Coast is clear."Rachel checks her phone and sees a message from Burt but ignores it and leaves with Jack.
At The Penthouse,Jared returns home in a rage as Sully and Gabriella are there and Jared yells"I knew he'd do something like this.Grandfather's about to pay for this."Sully hugs him and assures him"Daddy will take care of him."Jared tells his Wife"Ava's got a wild card and I think she's the one that will make the old man cave."Gabriella looks at them and says"I think all of you need to be ready for anything.I think there's about to be many things about to change in your world."Sully and Jared looks at Gabriella with suspicion and asks her"What do you mean?"Gabriella says"I had a vision earlier and it could multiply."Jared and Sully both looks on,knowing what Gabriella means and they are silent and gives each other a kiss and heads to bed.At Burt's Home,Burt calls Rachel again but gets no message.He gets a text from Ava and tells him"Wait until I return to town before making your move."Burt blows out the candles he lit and heads to the bedroom,calling it a night.Ava meanwhile arrives at Northbrook and lets herself inside and sees Winston and snarls"Storm Shelters couldn't change you but I can."Winston asks"What in the hell are you talking about Ava?"Ava yells"You slithered your way into MY family's company.Now you have to deal with me!"Ava walks out and Winston sits silently and has a look of defeat and fear.At Hell Hill,Beth,Ciarra,and Jacob are in the living room as Beth's caught them up on the deal with Rachel.Tenny arrives and says to them"I'm sorry.I made a mistake.I am an old stubborn fool.I am ashamed of myself."Beth,Ciarra,and Jacob hugs Tenny and Beth tells her"We're here for you Mama.We all are."In the study,Xavier pours himself a drink and says to himself"Today started great and to end like this.."He throws the glass across the room in anger and Leigh walks in and tells him"If you're scared I'm going anywhere,I'm not.We'll work through this."She hugs Xavier and Xavier tells Leigh"I don't know what's going to happen with this.We're about to tie the knot again in 2 days and now I have a child on the way from the daughter of my old flame."Leigh pulls back and says to Xavier"Baby,that's not the only one."Xavier looks at Leigh and asks"Are you?"Leigh says with tears"We revisited Blue Ridge and everything and if you remember I was expecting."Xavier says calmly"Are you pregnant?"Leigh looks at him and says"Sully's about to have a sibling."

It's the next day in Blue Ridge and at the Hotel, Leigh wakes up and looks over and notice Xavier's gone. Leigh says to herself "I bet he's at the office. Workaholic." She then notices a set of keys and a note, with a rose petal and the letter says "Meet me at The Mansion. I'm waiting for you." Leigh is quiet and says to herself "Xavier Jackson, I know you're up to something. I think I know what it is too." She smiles and gets dressed to head to their former residence. Meanwhile at The Mansion, Xavier's pulled the sheets off of the furniture in the home he shared with Leigh, as he and Sully moved into J.D. and Tenny's home after Leigh's death due to the pain he felt living there without the love of his life with him. Xavier pulls something out of his pocket and looks at it and smiles and puts it back in his pocket and looks at a portrait of Leigh, hanging over the mantle of the fireplace and says with tears in his eyes "You make me who I am Leigh Woods Jackson. My love for you cannot be measured. You are a part of me." He lights up the fireplace and awaits his Wife, as Leigh's getting ready to leave the Hotel, she finds a gift at the door. It's a bouquet of roses and she smiles and puts them on the dresser in their room as she is anxious to find out what Xavier's planning.
In Adam's Landing, at Hell Hill, Beth arrives downstairs into the kitchen as her Aunt Ciarra has cooked breakfast. Ciarra hugs her Niece and says to her "I thought I'd surprise you this morning." Beth tells Ciarra humbly "You didn't have to do this.This is too much." Ciarra looks at Beth and says to her "It's my pleasure Beth. I've already got the table set in the Dining Room." Beth looks at her Aunt and says "Are you up to something Aunt Ciarra?" Ciarra says "I expect our guests to arrive any moment." There's a knock at the door and Ciarra tells Beth "Go answer the door. I've got to finish making the orange juice." Beth heads to the door and sees her Uncle Jacob and gets excited and says "What a surprise!" Jacob looks at his Niece and says to her with a hug "You never age. You got your Mama and Aunt Ciarra's ageless beauty." Ciarra walks in and yells "Pa!" as they give each other a kiss and hold each other tight. Ciarra asks her Husband "How was your flight?" Jacob responds "It wasn't too bad. You know I can't stay away from the Woman I love for long." Ciarra blushes and Beth watches them and says "You two reminds me of Mama and Daddy when he was alive." Ciarra says to Beth "Tenny has never been the same after losing J.D." Jacob looks down for a moment and asks Beth for a moment alone with"My beautiful Wife."Beth gladly gives them their privacy and returns to the kitchen as Jacob asks Ciarra"Have you told Tenny?"Ciarra sighs and says to her Husband of 60 years"I seen her yesterday and she opened up to me.She knows what's going on and she's embarrassed.She doesn't want me to tell Xavier or Beth though."Jacob advises his Wife "They need to know about this. Tenny's in danger." Ciarra tells Jacob "She's coming over here this morning for breakfast as is Sully and Jared and Ruth and Frank." Jacob gives Ciarra a suspicious look and asks his Wife "You're not playing cupid are you?" Ciarra looks at Jacob and says to him "I always loved Ruth and Frank. I wanted to catch up with them." Jacob doesn't buy it and says to Ciarra "Remember how Tenny is Ma, she is known to voice her opinion. She never was fond of Frank nor The Jacksons." Ciarra reminds him "Tenny will behave herself. I'll see to it."
At The Penthouse, Sully and Jared are in bed as they have finished making love. Sully looks at her Husband and smiles "I love to start the day like this. You and me, laying here like this." Jared tells Sully "I got something for you sweetie." Jared pulls a box of chocolates from under the mattress and Sully blushes and says to Jared "These are my favorite. Why did I get such a gentleman like you?" Jared says softly, opening the box and exchange chocolates "Don't spoil your appetite. We are expected to arrive at Hell Hill shortly." Sully warns Jared "My Great-Aunt Ciarra's skills in the kitchen are legendary. She's the sweetest person in the world. And an amazing cook." Jared replies "I see where Beth learned her cooking skills." Sully replies "Aunt Ciarra and Uncle Jacob have always been very close to Daddy, Grandma, and I. They're the perfect couple. Just like us." Sully kisses Jared and goes into the bathroom to get ready to head to Hill Hill. Jared looks for some clothes and Sully yells "Are you going to help me get ready Mr.Hale?" Jared is silent with a happy grin and says to his Wife "I'm on my way." He runs in the bathroom as the shower's turned on and Sully says to Jared as they bathe together "This is the perfect start to Valentine's day." Jared responds with a kiss as they wash each other and once again make love.
In The Evans Home, Willie is in the kitchen as Sidney's sitting at the kitchen table, silent and Willie walks over and kisses him and says "Happy Valentine's Day my love." Sidney doesn't say anything and looks at Willie with eyes of uncertainty as she tells him "I remember when You and I ran away to LaFayette 64 years ago and eloped. Mama and Papa wasn't very crazy about us being together. They tried so hard to convince me not to marry you but I told them you had my heart." Willie sits next to him and continues "They were worried about me marrying a moonshine runner but I didn't care. You were everything to me. You still are." Sidney looks at his Wife, he says quietly "I remember you. You're beautiful." Willie is touched and starts to cry as Sidney says to his Wife "I love you." Willie hugs Sidney and tells him "You don't know how much I love you Sidney. I know you and I live you. I'm never going anywhere." Sidney asks "Where's my children?" Willie says "Our Dr.Terrance Evans is at the Hospital and Aretha's at her Office. It's only You and I today." Sidney looks at Willie and doesn't say anything and has a sad look on his face as his memory's almost gone and Willie sees tears in his eyes and she wipes them away and assures him "All you need to know is what's in your heart. Our love is unbreakable." Sidney hugs Willie as she holds on to him as they cry together.
Back at Hell Hill, Ruth and Frank has arrived and Ciarra and Jacob greets them warmly and Ruth's surprised to see Ciarra and Jacob and says "It's been a long time." Ciarra and Jacob offers their condolences to Ruth for B.R., and Ruth says "He was a very misunderstood man. Although we divorced, we never stopped loving each other. We used to go to Lover's Rock, out on the property, overlooking the creek each Valentine's and we'd sit there and drink some shine, although I never drank but we'd always re-live the moment we fell in love, on that rock and where I made love for the first time." Ciarra and Jacob smiles and Jacob holds Ciarra and asks her "Do you remember where we first met Ma?" Ciarra smiles and says "I sure do. J.D. and Tenny set us up on that blind date at The Flamingo in uptown Blue Ridge. You were so shy." Jacob re-corrects Ciarra and reminds her "I did all the talking that first night. You were so timid and barely said a word." Ciarra says to him with stars in her eyes "When I saw you, I knew you were the one for me." Ciarra gives Jacob a kiss and Tenny arrives and sees Her Sister and Brother In Law in the living room and says to Jacob "I swear each time I see you, I think I'm seeing a ghost."J acob greets Tenny with a hug and asks his Sister In Law in a concerned tone "Have you told Beth or Xavier yet?" Ruth is in the room and Tenny turns her attention to Ruth and asks her sarcastically "I see you've returned to Adam's Landing? I take it Mr.Wonderful's with my Daughter?" Ruth rolls her eyes and says to Tenny as Ciarra gives her Sister a dirty look "Tenny Sullivan, You never change do you?" Tenny looks at Ruth and says calmly but in a mocking tone "I don't forgive nor forget. Frank did my sweet Beth wrong when he was sleeping around with what's her name, Claudia Stone. Is she still around?" Ruth gets angry and pulls back her hand to slap Tenny as Ciarra pulls her Sister into the foyer and asks "What is your problem with Ruth and Frank Tennessee?" Tenny says "Nothing Ciarra. Nothing at all." Ciarra warns her "I got a nice breakfast planned and you better behave yourself." Tenny says in a mocking time "I promise I'll be a good girl."
In the kitchen, Frank's arrived and sees Beth and says to his Ex-Wife "Happy Valentine's Day." Beth notices Frank's hand behind his back and asks him "What do you have Frank?" Frank looks down and is silent and gives a red rose to Beth and tells her "I picked one of these in my nursery this morning before coming over here." Beth smiles and asks Frank "So you now grow a victory garden?" Frank tells Beth "It's a hobby I picked up. Mama loves flowers and I thought I'd build her a nursery so she could plant her flowers year round." Beth looks at Frank and tells him "When you want to, you can be a perfect gentleman." Tenny walks into the kitchen as Beth and Frank looks into each other's eyes and says to Frank "Don't you dare. I won't allow you to work your charms on my sweet Beth again and hurt her." Beth gets annoyed and Frank says "Good to see you too Ms.Sullivan." Beth tells her Mother "We are friends Mama. And I'm a grown woman." Tenny says to Frank sternly "Beth may have forgiven you, but I still have reservations after your romp with Claudia." Frank walks over to Tenny and says to her "Ms.Sullivan, I have no feelings for Claudia. She committed suicide after shooting your Grandson Xavier. I've been done with her for years." Tenny looks at Frank and Beth and tells them "I'm watching the two of you." Meanwhile, Sully and Jared has arrived and she gives Ciarra, Jacob, and Ruth a hug and Ciarra looks at Sully and says "You look just like your Mother and your Grandmother and I." Sully smiles and she introduces Jacob and Ciarra to Jared, whom they greet with a hug and tells him "Welcome to our family Jared." Ciarra tells them to head into the dining room as she goes to get Tenny, Beth, and Frank. Back in the kitchen, Beth tells her Mother sternly "Frank and I have made amends Mama. You need to move on from your grudges." Tenny tells them sarcastically "Don't have sex!" Frank sarcastically responds "No need to worry Ms.Sullivan." Ciarra walks in and says to them "Breakfast is served." Beth and Frank heads into the Dining Room and Ciarra tells Tenny "This is going to be a nice breakfast and you need to stop being a bitch." Tenny is taken back and says to Ciarra "You've gotten fiery in your old age." Ciarra reminds Tenny "I am younger than you Oldest Sister." They look at each other and bicker as they head into the Dining Room with Tenny saying "At least I still have my natural hair color." Ciarra whispers "If you don't tell your Daughter about the mess in Monaco it'll be as white as mine." Tenny says "Shut up Ciarra." Ciarra responds "Quit being a stubborn old broad." Tenny quips "Look who's talking." as they arrive in the dining room.
Valentine's day is a day of love as it's a special day to many people who's with the one they love. At The Evans Home, Willie and Sidney sits on the couch in the living room and goes through their photo album as Willie describes each photo to her Husband, as she holds his hand. At Hell Hill, Beth, Sully, Jared, Ciarra, Jacob, Tenny, Ruth, and Frank are sitting at the table in the dining room having breakfast and Beth asks "I wonder how Xavier's plan is going. Sully shows them her drawings as all are stunned at Sully's talent as well as the dress. Sully tells them "My Daddy's the happiest I've ever seen him." All of them smile as they make a toast to Xavier and Leigh's love as well as the love between each couple in the room as well as B.R.and J.D., who have passed on. In Blue Ridge, Leigh has arrived at the mansion she shared with Xavier and notices rose petals leading to the couch and she finds a note that says "Close your eyes." Leigh sits there, curious and does as the letter says and closes them as Xavier walks into the living room, gets down on bended knee, and gently grabs Leigh's hand. Leigh opens her eyes as Xavier has slipped a huge diamond ring on Leigh's finger. Xavier keeps his composure and looks at Leigh in the eyes as she looks at him with tears starting to form. Xavier slowly says to her "You've given me the greatest gift that I could ever receive with our Princess, and you have given me back my heart and soul. Leigh Woods Jackson... Would you marry me again?" Leigh tears up and wraps her arms around Xavier although her shoulder's sore from being accidentally shot by Beth, but she doesn't care. She kisses Xavier and says to him with tears of joy "Yes I will marry you again and again. All I want is you!" They hold each other as they kiss and Xavier says "Now we have a wedding to plan."
In Adam's Landing, at Hell Hill, Beth arrives downstairs into the kitchen as her Aunt Ciarra has cooked breakfast. Ciarra hugs her Niece and says to her "I thought I'd surprise you this morning." Beth tells Ciarra humbly "You didn't have to do this.This is too much." Ciarra looks at Beth and says to her "It's my pleasure Beth. I've already got the table set in the Dining Room." Beth looks at her Aunt and says "Are you up to something Aunt Ciarra?" Ciarra says "I expect our guests to arrive any moment." There's a knock at the door and Ciarra tells Beth "Go answer the door. I've got to finish making the orange juice." Beth heads to the door and sees her Uncle Jacob and gets excited and says "What a surprise!" Jacob looks at his Niece and says to her with a hug "You never age. You got your Mama and Aunt Ciarra's ageless beauty." Ciarra walks in and yells "Pa!" as they give each other a kiss and hold each other tight. Ciarra asks her Husband "How was your flight?" Jacob responds "It wasn't too bad. You know I can't stay away from the Woman I love for long." Ciarra blushes and Beth watches them and says "You two reminds me of Mama and Daddy when he was alive."

Xavier And Leigh has arrived in Blue Ridge and they make a stop at the place where they first met,The Sante Fe.Xavier and Leigh sits at the bar,and Leigh comments to Xavier"This place hasn't changed at all."Xavier responds"I came here often after you left.I'd always sit here and whenever anyone would sit down where you're sitting,I'd tip the bartender and run them off."Leigh laughs as does Xavier and the bartender walks up and recognizes both Xavier and Leigh and says"I guess it's true about fairy tales."Xavier smiles and says"Yes they are real after all."Xavier tells the bartender"I think you know what I want to drink."The bartender responds"Crown on the rocks?"Xavier adds"And get the lady sitting next to me whatever she wants."The bartender smiles and walks away to get their drinks.Leigh grabs Xavier's hand and tells him"Do you remember when we first met here."Xavier nods and tells Leigh,looking at her with stars in his eyes"Papaw ordered me to have fun and I came here and met a beautiful young woman who was playing with a ring on her finger.She had split up with her fiancee over her career and needed a friend."Leigh smiles and asks Xavier"You don't forget a thing do you X?"Xavier gives Leigh a kiss and tells her"I remember every moment we shared together."The bartender returns and brings the two of them their drinks and Xavier and Leigh makes a toast to their love and Leigh is quiet but comfortable as is Xavier and a song's playing in the background and Leigh asks Xavier"Isn't that Prince?"Xavier looks down with a grin and he says"Our song."Xavier reaches out his hand and asks Leigh"May I have this dance with you?"Leigh graciously accepts as they dance slowly to their song.
Back in Adam's Landing,Beth and Ava are at Hell Hill after Beth's announcement and Ava says to Beth"Now we have to get back to the real world.What does the results say?"Beth is quiet for a moment and says to Ava"Results?Oh yes."Beth opens the cabinet in the living room and pulls out the results from Rachel's paternity test and tells Ava"I haven't read them yet."Ava asks"Are you nervous about finding out?"Beth is silent and opens the envelope and they both read them together.Ava yells"I knew it.I knew Jack wasn't the father of that whore's child."Beth looks at Ava and says"Rachel's mother just died Ava.Have some sympathy for her."Ava gives Beth a look of shock and says to her"You despised Desi Lane.I'm surprised you haven't thrown a party for her death or something close to it."Beth tells Ava"I don't really have any feelings over Desi's death.I've been in the medical profession most of my life so that's how I view this.A patient died after a head on collision with my Son and the one I'm most worried about is still here.Life goes on."Ava quips"You seem too calm Beth.You know something."Beth looks at Ava and tells her"Frank told me about the accident and that Desi ran Xavier off the road.The bitch did this to herself.She's lucky she didn't survive because if she had,I'd killed her myself."Ava asks Beth"And how are you going to react to these results?"Beth tells Ava"That one is on Leigh and Xavier.My worst fear is gone now."Ava has a look of gloom and pours herself a drink and says to Beth"And now the baton is passed to me."Beth tells Ava"Rachel isn't a threat to me but I will offer you some advice,I would keep my eyes on her if I was you.She did inherit one trait from her Mother."Ava answers"Selfish bitch out for herself?"Beth pours herself a drink and says to Ava"The ball's in your court when it comes to Rachel and Jack.You got what you need to keep her at bay."Ava has an evil smile and gives Beth a hug and heads out."Beth advises Ava"Give Rachel a few days before you start your agenda."Ava smiles at Beth and says in a calm tone"I will do that."Ava leaves and Beth receives a phone call.She is surprised and says to the person on the other line"Mama's in town.I've seen her."The person on the other line tells Beth"Keep an eye on her.Something's going on with her.I'm at BRI(Blue Ridge International Airport) and I think I can get some answers out of her."Beth tells the person"I'll set you up a room.You're staying with me."Beth hangs up the phone and thinks about her Mother and leaves to go to The Sunset Club to check on her.
Meanwhile at City Hospital,Terrance is in his office and receives a visit from his Sister.Aretha tells Terrance"You stay here way too much."Terrance is distracted and Aretha notices and asks him"Are you ok?"Terrance opens up his desk and gives Aretha the results of Rachel's paternity test and tells her dismissively"You wanted to know ahead of time so here they are.You can tell her yourself."Aretha asks her Brother"What's bothering you Terrance?I know when you're troubled."Terrance gets frustrated and says"Beth also has Rachel's results so be prepared if Ava happens to spill first."Aretha gets frustrated and cuts to the chase,telling Terrance"That's not all of it!What is really bothering you?"Terrance looks down and is silent and Aretha yells"What is it?"Terrance takes a deep breath and looks at his Sister and says to her"If I say one word to you,do not and I repeat DO NOT tell Mama!"Aretha assures him"I promise.What's the problem?"Terrance then opens up and says"Barry's in town."Aretha asks"Dr.Barry Cole?"Terrance nods and says"When we were in Southpoint Beach,I wasn't worried or scared when I was around him but since he's here.."Aretha asks"You never told Mama did you?"Terrance sighs and says to Aretha"Adam's Landing is a conservative place compared to Southpoint Beach.If Barry and I pick up where we left off,I'm scared of what could happen."Aretha tells him"Times have changed Terrance.I understand your fear,but when you told me you were gay,I accepted it."Terrance looks at Aretha and says to her"Mama won't accept that though and we both know how she is."Aretha has a look of sadness and says to her Brother"Mama is set in her ways and in her time,you know how people looked at people if they were homosexual.But you can't hide this forever.You need to tell her."Terrance sighs and says"I know I do Aretha.But what if she disowns me?She has always expected me to marry a woman,have children and all but that will never happen."Aretha hugs Terrance and tells him"No matter what happens,I will support you because you're my Big Brother and I don't care if you're gay or straight,I only want you to be happy."Terrance says to Aretha"Also remember that being black,gay,and in a relationship with a white man will cause many issues with people."Aretha yells"Don't worry about that.It's a different era in the South these days.Adam's Landing has changed as well so you be yourself!"Terrance hugs his Sister and tells her"I need to tell Mama the truth but if I do,will you support me?"Aretha looks at him and says"That's a dumb question!I'm your Sister.I'll be by your side and I will always be there."Terrance hugs Aretha and he leaves to check on a patient.Aretha rolls her eyes and is worried about Terrance and she knows that it will be very hard for Willie,Aretha and Terrance's Mother to accept the fact that Terrance is gay.Aretha leaves and makes a call to Rachel,and tells her"Meet me at the house.I got something to show you."
At The Penthouse,Sully is drawing designs for a dress and Gabriella walks in the room and asks Sully"I see you got something to keep you busy."Sully nods and shows Gabriella a picture of Xavier and Leigh and says"I'm wanting to design something classic but modern."Gabriella assures her Daughter In Law"Whatever you design,your Mom will love it as will the rest of the family."Sully smiles at Gabriella as there's a knock at the door.Sully answers the door to find it to be Winston."Sully asks him"I see you've returned from the grave?"Winston looks at Sully and says"I'll let that slide since your Father and I are at peace and all's well in the world."Winston sees Gabriella and Gabriella isn't pleased to see Winston yelling"What are you doing here?Shouldn't you be in Europe visiting your beloved son in prison?"Winston is shocked to see Gabriella and quips"And who allowed you to get out of the Nut House?"Sully sternly warns Winston"Leave Gabriella alone and get the hell out of here!"Winston apologizes and asks Sully"Where's my Grandson at?I wanted to see him."Sully tells Winston"I'll let him know you're back."Winston tells Sully walking out"Gabriella's a psycho.I wouldn't keep any guns or sharp objects around."Winston leaves and Sully shakes her head as does Gabriella and Gabriella says to Sully"Whenever Winston Hale is around,there's something bound to happen."Sully asks her"What are you seeing?"Gabriella says"Snakes only shed their skin.And the peace will be brief."Sully rolls her eyes and assures Gabriella"I don't think Winston wants to mess with my Daddy again after last time."Gabriella looks at Sully and says"Always be ready for anything."Sully agrees and goes back to drawing the designs for Leigh's dress as Gabriella leaves the house,telling Sully"Your Great-Grandmother wants to talk to me."Sully tells Gabriella"She loves psychics."Gabriella says walking out"I don't know about that."Gabriella leaves and Sully is silent for a moment and calls Beth and and it goes to voicemail.She asks her Grandmother"Is something wrong with Gran?"
Meanwhile Beth has arrived at The Sunset Club and knocks on her Mother's door.Tenny answers and asks"Beth what are you doing here?Shouldn't you be at work?"Beth asks her Mother"I got a call today and guess who it was Mama?"Tenny asks sarcastically"An automated call telling you that you won a cruise?"Beth says"Nope.It was your sister.She is worried about you."Tenny shrugs and tells Beth"I am fine.She worries entirely too much.She should be squeezing oranges for when Xavier and Leigh visit.You know he loves her cooking."Beth laughs"Only when she's around will he do breakfast."Tenny puts her hands on Beth's shoulders and assures her Daughter,leading her to the door"Everything is fine with me my sweet Beth.You have other things to worry about."Beth tells her Mother"Don't be afraid to confide in me Mama."Tenny assures Beth"If I have a problem,you would be the first to know."Beth leaves and shakes her head as she grows suspicious and notices a message from Sully and responds"We'll know soon sweetie.Focus on the dress."Beth leaves and Tenny gets another knock at the door and looks through the peephole and answers the door to see Gabriella's arrived.Tenny tells Gabriella"Sully told me you could see the future.What does my future hold?"Gabriella looks at Tenny and says to her"You're about to make a deal with the devil."Tenny gets upset and asks"What are you talking about?"Gabriella warns Tenny"Your false pride will hurt many people and you need to confide in your family."Tenny writes Gabriella a check and tells her"That wasn't what I wanted to hear.You disappoint me."Gabriella tears the check in half and tells Tenny"It's worthless.This one's on me."Gabriella leaves and Tenny is silent and makes a phone call.
Meanwhile Ava has arrived at her mansion and she is reading Rachel's paternity results.She says to herself"This will be beneficial to me to get Rachel away from my son."Country walks downstairs and Ava is shocked to see he's only wearing a bathrobe and asks Ava in a flirting tone"Did you miss me while I was gone?"Ava smiles and says to Country"Yes I did.But we need to have a talk."Country kisses Ava and she returns the kiss but says to him"We need to talk about us."Country is suspicious and asks Ava"Are you seeing somebody else?"Ava replies"No I'm not.But I'm not ready to commit to a relationship.We have too much going on in each of our lives to have time for each other."Country is saddened but tells Ava"I understand Ava.Can we be friends with benefits though?"Ava looks at him and winks at him and says to him"I like that better."They head upstairs and they begin to make passionate love.Meanwhile in Blue Ridge,Xavier and Leigh has checked into a suite at The Jones-Thayer Hotel,in the VIP suite.Leigh tells Xavier"So far I'm enjoying myself.You must really be planning something big?"Xavier smiles and says to Leigh"We've only started."Xavier dims the lights and they play their song once again as Xavier touches Leigh's face,and kisses her.He takes off her cast and throws it across the room and picks her up off her feet as they head in the bedroom,where he gently takes off her clothes as she takes off his and they begin to make love."
Back in Adam's Landing,Beth and Ava are at Hell Hill after Beth's announcement and Ava says to Beth"Now we have to get back to the real world.What does the results say?"Beth is quiet for a moment and says to Ava"Results?Oh yes."Beth opens the cabinet in the living room and pulls out the results from Rachel's paternity test and tells Ava"I haven't read them yet."Ava asks"Are you nervous about finding out?"Beth is silent and opens the envelope and they both read them together.Ava yells"I knew it.I knew Jack wasn't the father of that whore's child."Beth looks at Ava and says"Rachel's mother just died Ava.Have some sympathy for her."Ava gives Beth a look of shock and says to her"You despised Desi Lane.I'm surprised you haven't thrown a party for her death or something close to it."Beth tells Ava"I don't really have any feelings over Desi's death.I've been in the medical profession most of my life so that's how I view this.A patient died after a head on collision with my Son and the one I'm most worried about is still here.Life goes on."Ava quips"You seem too calm Beth.You know something."Beth looks at Ava and tells her"Frank told me about the accident and that Desi ran Xavier off the road.The bitch did this to herself.She's lucky she didn't survive because if she had,I'd killed her myself."Ava asks Beth"And how are you going to react to these results?"Beth tells Ava"That one is on Leigh and Xavier.My worst fear is gone now."Ava has a look of gloom and pours herself a drink and says to Beth"And now the baton is passed to me."Beth tells Ava"Rachel isn't a threat to me but I will offer you some advice,I would keep my eyes on her if I was you.She did inherit one trait from her Mother."Ava answers"Selfish bitch out for herself?"Beth pours herself a drink and says to Ava"The ball's in your court when it comes to Rachel and Jack.You got what you need to keep her at bay."Ava has an evil smile and gives Beth a hug and heads out."Beth advises Ava"Give Rachel a few days before you start your agenda."Ava smiles at Beth and says in a calm tone"I will do that."Ava leaves and Beth receives a phone call.She is surprised and says to the person on the other line"Mama's in town.I've seen her."The person on the other line tells Beth"Keep an eye on her.Something's going on with her.I'm at BRI(Blue Ridge International Airport) and I think I can get some answers out of her."Beth tells the person"I'll set you up a room.You're staying with me."Beth hangs up the phone and thinks about her Mother and leaves to go to The Sunset Club to check on her.
Meanwhile at City Hospital,Terrance is in his office and receives a visit from his Sister.Aretha tells Terrance"You stay here way too much."Terrance is distracted and Aretha notices and asks him"Are you ok?"Terrance opens up his desk and gives Aretha the results of Rachel's paternity test and tells her dismissively"You wanted to know ahead of time so here they are.You can tell her yourself."Aretha asks her Brother"What's bothering you Terrance?I know when you're troubled."Terrance gets frustrated and says"Beth also has Rachel's results so be prepared if Ava happens to spill first."Aretha gets frustrated and cuts to the chase,telling Terrance"That's not all of it!What is really bothering you?"Terrance looks down and is silent and Aretha yells"What is it?"Terrance takes a deep breath and looks at his Sister and says to her"If I say one word to you,do not and I repeat DO NOT tell Mama!"Aretha assures him"I promise.What's the problem?"Terrance then opens up and says"Barry's in town."Aretha asks"Dr.Barry Cole?"Terrance nods and says"When we were in Southpoint Beach,I wasn't worried or scared when I was around him but since he's here.."Aretha asks"You never told Mama did you?"Terrance sighs and says to Aretha"Adam's Landing is a conservative place compared to Southpoint Beach.If Barry and I pick up where we left off,I'm scared of what could happen."Aretha tells him"Times have changed Terrance.I understand your fear,but when you told me you were gay,I accepted it."Terrance looks at Aretha and says to her"Mama won't accept that though and we both know how she is."Aretha has a look of sadness and says to her Brother"Mama is set in her ways and in her time,you know how people looked at people if they were homosexual.But you can't hide this forever.You need to tell her."Terrance sighs and says"I know I do Aretha.But what if she disowns me?She has always expected me to marry a woman,have children and all but that will never happen."Aretha hugs Terrance and tells him"No matter what happens,I will support you because you're my Big Brother and I don't care if you're gay or straight,I only want you to be happy."Terrance says to Aretha"Also remember that being black,gay,and in a relationship with a white man will cause many issues with people."Aretha yells"Don't worry about that.It's a different era in the South these days.Adam's Landing has changed as well so you be yourself!"Terrance hugs his Sister and tells her"I need to tell Mama the truth but if I do,will you support me?"Aretha looks at him and says"That's a dumb question!I'm your Sister.I'll be by your side and I will always be there."Terrance hugs Aretha and he leaves to check on a patient.Aretha rolls her eyes and is worried about Terrance and she knows that it will be very hard for Willie,Aretha and Terrance's Mother to accept the fact that Terrance is gay.Aretha leaves and makes a call to Rachel,and tells her"Meet me at the house.I got something to show you."
At The Penthouse,Sully is drawing designs for a dress and Gabriella walks in the room and asks Sully"I see you got something to keep you busy."Sully nods and shows Gabriella a picture of Xavier and Leigh and says"I'm wanting to design something classic but modern."Gabriella assures her Daughter In Law"Whatever you design,your Mom will love it as will the rest of the family."Sully smiles at Gabriella as there's a knock at the door.Sully answers the door to find it to be Winston."Sully asks him"I see you've returned from the grave?"Winston looks at Sully and says"I'll let that slide since your Father and I are at peace and all's well in the world."Winston sees Gabriella and Gabriella isn't pleased to see Winston yelling"What are you doing here?Shouldn't you be in Europe visiting your beloved son in prison?"Winston is shocked to see Gabriella and quips"And who allowed you to get out of the Nut House?"Sully sternly warns Winston"Leave Gabriella alone and get the hell out of here!"Winston apologizes and asks Sully"Where's my Grandson at?I wanted to see him."Sully tells Winston"I'll let him know you're back."Winston tells Sully walking out"Gabriella's a psycho.I wouldn't keep any guns or sharp objects around."Winston leaves and Sully shakes her head as does Gabriella and Gabriella says to Sully"Whenever Winston Hale is around,there's something bound to happen."Sully asks her"What are you seeing?"Gabriella says"Snakes only shed their skin.And the peace will be brief."Sully rolls her eyes and assures Gabriella"I don't think Winston wants to mess with my Daddy again after last time."Gabriella looks at Sully and says"Always be ready for anything."Sully agrees and goes back to drawing the designs for Leigh's dress as Gabriella leaves the house,telling Sully"Your Great-Grandmother wants to talk to me."Sully tells Gabriella"She loves psychics."Gabriella says walking out"I don't know about that."Gabriella leaves and Sully is silent for a moment and calls Beth and and it goes to voicemail.She asks her Grandmother"Is something wrong with Gran?"
Meanwhile Beth has arrived at The Sunset Club and knocks on her Mother's door.Tenny answers and asks"Beth what are you doing here?Shouldn't you be at work?"Beth asks her Mother"I got a call today and guess who it was Mama?"Tenny asks sarcastically"An automated call telling you that you won a cruise?"Beth says"Nope.It was your sister.She is worried about you."Tenny shrugs and tells Beth"I am fine.She worries entirely too much.She should be squeezing oranges for when Xavier and Leigh visit.You know he loves her cooking."Beth laughs"Only when she's around will he do breakfast."Tenny puts her hands on Beth's shoulders and assures her Daughter,leading her to the door"Everything is fine with me my sweet Beth.You have other things to worry about."Beth tells her Mother"Don't be afraid to confide in me Mama."Tenny assures Beth"If I have a problem,you would be the first to know."Beth leaves and shakes her head as she grows suspicious and notices a message from Sully and responds"We'll know soon sweetie.Focus on the dress."Beth leaves and Tenny gets another knock at the door and looks through the peephole and answers the door to see Gabriella's arrived.Tenny tells Gabriella"Sully told me you could see the future.What does my future hold?"Gabriella looks at Tenny and says to her"You're about to make a deal with the devil."Tenny gets upset and asks"What are you talking about?"Gabriella warns Tenny"Your false pride will hurt many people and you need to confide in your family."Tenny writes Gabriella a check and tells her"That wasn't what I wanted to hear.You disappoint me."Gabriella tears the check in half and tells Tenny"It's worthless.This one's on me."Gabriella leaves and Tenny is silent and makes a phone call.

It's the next morning in Adam's Landing and the death of Desi Lane has been announced on the Morning News,which leaves many in shock and mixed feelings.At Hell Hill,Beth makes a phone call to City Hospital and asks a member of her staff"Has Xavier heard of this yet?"At City Hospital,Xavier and Leigh has seen the news and Xavier's silent as Leigh asks him"Are you ok X?I know you and Desi had a history together."Xavier looks at Leigh and says calmly"I am surprised but not surprised.Would you be upset if I said I did feel sad?"Leigh grabs Xavier's hand and tells him lovingly"I understand that.She was your first love.And there was Bren."Xavier looks at Leigh and tells her"These kinds of things like death doesn't get to me much.After I lost you,and my Father,I look ahead but I do honor those I loved."Leigh asks Xavier"Did you still love Desi?"Xavier answers"We had some good times over the years but she hurt my Princess and she proved to me who she really was when she tried to take Jackson Inc.I would rather look ahead to our trip."Leigh tells Xavier in a serious tone"X,you are going home and rest once your discharged.Our trip can wait."Xavier gets impatient and says to Leigh"I got something waiting for us that can't wait."Leigh gets curious and asks him"What are you planning?"Xavier smiles and kisses Leigh and says"I will show you rather than tell you."Leigh sighs and shakes her head,looking at Xavier and tells him with a laugh"One thing about you that hasn't changed is that you are still stubborn and you love to defy the odds."Xavier laughs"Damn Right."Terrance arrives and tells Xavier"You can go home today.You were very lucky."Xavier tells Terrance"I couldn't leave yet."Xavier looks at Leigh and they look each other in the eye and Xavier tells Terrance"I couldn't leave my girls."Terrance smiles as Xavier signs his release papers and tells Leigh"Let's go."They head out hand and hand.
At Class,Ava has arrived in her office and sees Sully sitting at her desk and Ava yells excitedly"Welcome back!"Sully and Ava hug and Ava asks Sully"Did you hear about Desi?"Sully tells her Aunt"I heard on the radio this morning.No love lost."Ava tells Sully"I certainly understand why you feel that way.If anything happens to Jamie or Junior,it likely wouldn't bother me much at all."Sully nods and tells Ava"I think it is karma.I can't feel any sadness after what's happened between Desi and I.I'd rather look ahead."Ava agrees with Sully and tells her Niece"Make yourself comfortable Sully.I have to take care of some things.If you need me,call me."Ava hugs her Niece and leaves and Sully sits back with a smile and the secretary tells Sully"You have a visitor Ms.Hale."Sully asks"Who is it?"Tenny walks in and Sully gets ecstatic seeing her Great-Grandmother for the first time since Sully was a child.Tenny gives Sully a hug and Sully asks her"How did you know I was here?"Tenny laughs"I turned up the hearing aid.Beth told me you were released and knowing Xavier and Leigh,you were likely back at work."Sully laughs"Jared tried to keep me at home but I wanted to be here."Tenny and Sully catches up on things and Sully asks her Great-Grandmother"Have you visited Mom and Daddy yet?"Tenny quickly responds"I figure they are busy this morning.Beth told me he's being released."Sully tells her"I plan to see them shortly when they return home.You should come with me.Daddy would be so happy to know you're here."Tenny is silent for a moment and tells Sully,grabbing hand"I want him to rest first before I arrive.With Beth and Leigh with him,.I know he's ok."Sully is taken back but doesn't say anything and insists"I really think you should come with me Gran."Tenny sighs"Oh,what the hell I guess so."Tenny and Sully leaves and heads to Hell Hill to visit Xavier.

Jackson."
