Daylight And Darkness: Episode 319. Revenge Endgame Part 1.

     It's the next day in Adam's Landing, and at Hell Hill, Xavier is in the Storm Shelter, as he says "Beg all you wish, but you made some bad mistakes, and I feel there's more to this. So talk." The man begs "I want us to be friends again X.." Xavier pulls out his Colt 45, and points at Storm, drunk and recovering from the night before says "Now he knows about something you never did, loyalty." Xavier walks out and heads off. At Hell Hill, Leigh and Sully watch the news, as coverage on the fire at Jamie's Mansion is top story, with Tenny and Floyd, as Monica tells the news "This looks like arson and will be dug into further thank you." Leigh and Sully look at each other, and Sully says "How did Daddy react at first?" Leigh goes "He really didn't say. Classic X for you. He's likely involved. Jamie has done went too far." They hug as Leigh heads to Class, as Sully goes to Jackson Inc, and Sully says to her Mother "Jared and I are divorcing. I'm going to tell Daddy privately." Leigh reminds "Take him to a public place now and tell him. It'd be better."

    At The Gossiper, Jamie sits in her office as she changes clothes and snarls "Who could have done it? Oh... just digging deeper in the grave Xavier.." Summer storms into her Mother's office, as Jamie asks her Daughter "Can I come live with you and Paul?" Summer snaps "You know Mom, I quit. Screw this and I hate what you have truly become. Bree is so right on your self-centered ass!" Jamie screams "Screw you too Summer! You remember that you take after me you spoiled ass bitch!" Summer storms out in rage, as Jamie sends a text. At The Holiday Hotel, a woman sits in her suite, and answers "Its time Jamie. And don't worry about the devil's bride." In Rachel's Office at The Gossiper, Rachel is on the phone with Brock as he says "I'm staying with Ruthie, Ginny, and Alyssa in Sully's old place." Rachel assures him "I am not going to hurt you ever. I love you Brock." Back in Jamie's Office, Jamie gets a text, and has a thought.

    At The Farm, Frank and Erica watch TV, as he tells her "I think you need to move out of here now. I am tired." Erica gives a sad look to Frank and asks "Why champ?" Frank answers "My Daughter left, and Beth is mad." Frank warns Erica "I don't know what's going on but something's not right about you and Cale." Erica asks "Are you saying I'm sleeping with him too?" Frank goes "Well really I don't consider you anything serious anyway besides sex. But I sure hope I'm wrong or else it'll be hell for you." Frank walks into the kitchen, as Erica calls her Aunt, and gets no answer, and smiles "Wait..", as she sends a text to Rachel, saying "Remember your favor?" Meanwhile at Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth sits in the kitchen, serving breakfast to her Granddaughter Ruthie and Frank's Daughter Alyssa, as Tenny walks out of her bedroom and yells "Beth where's my blunt? Inviting the dog's spawn over in the morning brings out.." Alyssa quips "The old bitch you are Granny?" Tenny snarls under her breath "Call me Granny heifer and you'll see a bitch alrighty.." as she walks to her room and mumbles to herself. Beth apologizes to Alyssa, as Ruthie adds "Everything has shaken her up with Aunt Ciarra passing away." Alyssa adds "Aunt Jamie putting those photos of her and Uncle Floyd in bed blew me away. Dad has no remorse by the way for Granny. He saw them first and told me." Beth goes "Mama is very old whether she believes it or not, and this is bad for her. Allan's coming back to see what we can do to get her back to herself." Alyssa laughs and asks "Changing subject, did you set Jamie's Mansion on fire Aunt Beth? Or Xavier?" Ruthie smiles "My Grandpa is known to make things happen and never spoken of." Beth sighs "Well she asked for it. Karma is a fiery bitch girls."

     Back at Hell Hill, Xavier sits inside the study, as Ava walks inside and yells "Xavier!" Xavier walks out and Ava goes "I got the information back I had someone get for me on Clint Landon." Xavier asks his Sister "What did you get?" Ava hands a file to her Brother as they walk into the study, and Ava pours both of them a drink as Xavier snarls "I can't believe my damn eyes!" Ava yells "I thought Country took care of her?" Xavier sighs with disgust "The bastard has always had a soft spot for Jamie... and then remember.." Ava nods as she goes "First time they tried to destroy our family. Jamie has left a mark, but this is bad. Winston does not need this shit." Xavier asks "How is he?" Ava sighs "Samantha's staying with him mostly for now. I have yet to wrap myself around it all. And Jared, Clint, HaleCorp.." Xavier takes a deep breath, as Ava tries to stay controlled but upset, as Xavier assures her "You know we have each other Sis. I'll deal with Jared. He's pushing it with me. He's only breathing because of Ruthie and Cain, otherwise his ass would be in a swamp." Ava quips "The feeling I get is that may be his fate." At HaleCorp, Jared walks into his office, as Clint tells Jared "I want you to meet someone." Jared's jaw drops, as he is speechless.

    At Jackson Inc, Sully, Jack, and Bree are inside Bree's brand new office, as she tells her Cousins "Paul sent a text, and Monica wants to dig into the fire at Mom's. I know someone in our family has something to do with it, and I have called Bobby also. Summer is on my side, our side. She sees what the bitch really is now. Screwing your Son In Law? I mean that should have been a wake up call to her!" Sully reminds Bree, as Jack texts his Mother and listens on "Summer is a lot like her." Bree is silent and says "Both are nymphos, but Summer is a good Mother to Jake, Jason, and Drew." Sully agrees, but warns "She needs to stay on our side, or I'll look at you when the shit hits the fan over Jamie's stunt!" Jack tells them "Mom did not do it. Said she wished but would have finished the job." Bree is silent, shaking her head, as she tells them "I take it serious working here after being DA so long and my Mom has help. I just don't know who." Jack warns both of his Cousins "Dad is going downhill. He's calling Samantha Victoria, and has referred to Mom as his "Latin Honey." Sully boldly tells them "Daddy may be home more now, but trust me when I say he's likely got something going on. He's been quiet." Jack looks at Bree, as both say "When Uncle Xavier gets quiet.." Sully smiles, and says "Why his Princess sits at his desk. He trained me well." Sully gets a text, and looks at them and says "And speaking of my Daddy, apparently he and Aunt Ava know." 

    At Class meanwhile, Ruthie sits in her office, as Leigh and Marco Cavetti walks in and Leigh introduces him to her Granddaughter, and asks "Where's Alyssa?" Ruthie tells her Mother "Gram offered her help moving today." Marco asks "And Alyssa is?" Leigh tells her longtime friend and a world leading fashion designer "Frank Jackson's Daughter. She works here, but appears my Mother In Law is plotting." Ruthie tells Marco "So you were my Grandmother's designer in her modeling days? Marco nods, and says "We have known each other for it seems a lifetime. I worked in Europe for the company and returned now that Sully has moved up." Leigh is quiet, as she gets a text and tells Ruthie "Does your Grandpa know about Sully and Jared?" Ruthie is silent and says "I texted him this morning and told him the news." Leigh warns her Granddaughter "I just got a message from your Gram. She's on her way to meet X and Ava.." Ruthie asks with concern "What are you trying to say? Is Dad in danger?" Leigh tells Ruthie "Jared has burned his bridge with X over the years and you telling Xavier about the divorce may change his mind..." Marco walks out, as he says "I know where this is headed." Ruthie asks her Grandmother "Would he kill my Dad?" Leigh is silent, and says "I have a feeling he will wish he was now."

    At The Gossiper, Rachel sits at her desk, as Erica walks in and tells her Cousin "I have the perfect story for you!" Rachel quickly stops her, and warns "Jamie would never do that to her Brother, well Frank that is. Forget it because I'm trying some new things, and wanting a new life beyond being known as the whore of Adam's Landing." Erica laughs "You're seeing Brock Jackson, Xavier Jackson Jr. You have a long way to go." Rachel snaps "Bitch watch your words or else." Erica walks out, and gets a text. At The Farm, Jamie walks inside, as Frank tells his Sister "You can stay here if you'd like. I told Erica to leave. I think she's screwing my Son also." Jamie laughs "Well I had a feeling she was. She has that past. I know since I've done it and will again." Frank asks her "Jamie you never own up to your own faults. Its time you do. I know you are here because you need me.." Jamie yells with frustration "Frank you have always protected me. I need that now." Jamie starts to cry, as Frank consoles his Sister.

  At Whispering Hills, Ava walks inside, as she yells for Samantha and hears no response, and then yells for her Husband, also to no response. Ava walks around the house, and notices a letter on the table, and reads it, and makes a phone call to Jack, as she tells her Son "Winston and Samantha's been kidnapped." Jack is silent, as anger rages in him, as Ava cries to her Son "I can't take anymore.." Jack goes "On my way Mom." Jack leaves. Meanwhile Ava makes another phone call, and says "You need to come to town asap." At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny sits in the living room, as Beth has left and there's a knock at the door. Tenny takes a toke and ignores the knock, and the person on the other side sees Brock, as the person asks "Can you help me see my former boss? I can't speak to her.." Brock is silent and goes "My Gran for you." Brock walks back into Ruthie's Penthouse, as the person knocks again, and says "Gran?" Tenny walks towards the door. At Hell Hill, Beth stands in the study, as she looks at what Xavier has, as she goes "I don't believe my eyes. This is going to be bad all around. If your Grandma dies over this, this bitch, and Jamie will both die as well! I mean it!" Xavier assures his Mother "I have everything under control." Back at Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny walks towards the door, as she opens and goes "Oh my God.." and collapses in shock, as the person walks inside and looks around.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 318. The Ultimate Fire

    It has turned to evening, and across Adam's Landing and beyond, people are shocked by Jamie's press release. At Hell Hill, Xavier has called a meeting involving Leigh, Beth, Sully, and Bobby. They stand in the living room, as Beth goes "Mama is really not taking this well. I swear if anything happens to her over this.." All look at her and go "We share your dreams too. Now it's wait and see. I've got things started." Beth changes subjects, and says "I need to go pick up some of Alyssa's things and take to her." Beth leaves, as Leigh goes "Rachel actually kept her end of things.." Xavier, Sully, and Bobby agree, as Sully gets a phone call from Jared and heads home, as Xavier and Bobby head to the Storm Shelter.

    At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny is alone and eyes a bottle of pills, as Ruthie walks in, and Tenny tells her Great-Great Granddaughter "Please leave me alone and get adjusted." Ruthie tells her gently "Gran some people are selfish people out to hurt people. That's all Jamie is doing to you." Tenny hugs Ruthie, and Ruthie leaves, as Tenny has a thought, and sends a text. At Bree's Mansion, Bree, Summer, and Paul all drink as they watch the news, and disgust overcomes them, as Bree asks with anger "I do not know what happened, but Summer, our real Mom died officially today. Sorry not sorry." Summer cries, as Paul consoles both of them, and is silent. At The Farm, Jamie and Frank sits on his couch, and share a glass of liquor, as Frank goes "Now I hate it about Uncle Floyd, but Tenny is different. Karma came back on her old ass!" Jamie quips "Well big brother, it's just the start." Erica arrives, as Jamie glares at her, and asks "Have I seen you somewhere?" Erica answers "I used to work for HaleCorp when Wade was in charge and how I came to town." Jamie nods, and heads to the door, and says "Tenny has finally lost. Same for poor Beth." Frank gets angry, and asks angrily "What is it with you and a woman who thinks Alyssa's hers? Jamie snaps back "She does not want to give her a home, always minding old lady Tenny." Frank turns to Erica and warns "I think you need to go see if Olivia is home tonight." Frank walks to the bedroom, as Erica is in shock, and packs. 

      At The Evans Home, Willie and Rashad has dinner together, as Willie sighs "Everybody's always busy, but Clem is different. Maybe best. Rashad asks What do you mean?" Willie sighs "Oh something that will stay where needed." Willie walks out, leaving her Grandson curious. At Monica's Loft, in downtown Adam's Landing, they discuss the past, and Monica tells Aretha "Let's leave it there. When my Mama arrives that'll be bad enough for Willie." Aretha quips "The old lady never forgets nothing." Monica asks "What do you think is the bad blood?" Aretha answers "Javon mainly. It's time to tell him." Monica grows quiet and pours them a drink. At The Sunset Club, Ava drinks, as Jack is on his way to pick her up. Clint walks over and goes in a cocky tone "A lush for a boss of a business like HaleCorp." Ava slurs "This is my quiet time Clint. I know you, and hate you. Now go fetch a ride to hell." Clint walks off, and sends a text, as Ava gets a text and frustration grows in her eyes.

     Meanwhile at Cale and Allison's Mansion, Bree finishes up the terms, and goes "Well this will piss off Uncle Frank if Erica doesn't have him too distracted." Allison thanks her, as Bree tells them "Thank you all for a short break from my Mother's moment of family shame." Cale sighs "This is gonna be bad." Allison quips "Dad already told me to get prepared." Cale asks "So Ginny's staying with Ruthie tonight?" Allison nods, as Bree goes "It'll be nice to have them together to look out for each other. A great idea." All agree, as Cale gets a phone call, which he sends to voicemail, catching his Wife and Cousin's attention." Bree tells them "I need to call my Sister and head home. Bree and Cale hug, and she leaves. At Ruthie's new Penthouse (Formerly Sully's Penthouse), Ruthie, Ginny, Alyssa, and Brock are inside, as Ruthie pulls out a bag of weed, and goes "Time to have a housewarming party! Someone go get Gran." Brock heads out. Across the hall, Tenny stares at the pills, as her phone rings, and she ignores the call as Brock knocks on his Great-Grandmother's door, and she answers and bluntly says "Leave me alone you low life!", and walks back inside slamming the door. Tenny calls the number back and says "Are you ok?" Across the hall, Brock tells his Niece and Cousins "Gran is cold as ice!" Ruthie sighs "Damn Jamie did it! Bitch!" All agree and begin to plot, as Alyssa pulls out some liquor.

      At Hell Hill, Xavier and Leigh are inside his study, as she goes "X I did not know about Rachel but felt he was being used by someone." Xavier warns his Wife "He will pay for this. Jamie is going after us again since Aunt Ciarra died, and using our Son..." Leigh snarls "I want her dead." Xavier walks over to his Wife, and hugs her, and kisses her forehead, and says "She'll pay for it my love." Leigh asks "So where was Ava?" Xavier goes "Likely taking a break before going home. It's hard you know." Leigh says with concern "She can't run everything like she's doing. She needs your help, or just fire Jack on my order to help her with Jared and that Clint.." Xavier asks "What about Sully?" Leigh smiles "Then you wouldn't get too used to being a homebody." They laugh, as he asks "Wanna chase each other upstairs for some fun?" They kiss, and run to their bedroom. Meanwhile at Sully and Jared's Mansion, Sully sits inside the kitchen, and Jared walks in and says "So I seen what Jamie did." Sully asks her Husband "And are you gonna gloat about it? I don't need your shit. Aunt Ava did not come over." Jared laughs "She is trying to take Clint and I's jobs instead. Warn her she needs to let Grandfather..." Sully yells "Damnit Jared she has enough on her now! And screw you and what you think of her! She's doing apparently the right thing. Hell I never thought I'd think Wade was better than you.." Jared grows angry, and goes "What did you say?" Sully responds coldly, heading upstairs to pack "Wade loves his family. You slept through yours and mine son of a bitch! Ruthie's out, and tomorrow call a moving company." Jared's eyes turn red, with anger and sadness.

    At The Farm, Beth arrives, and walks inside as Erica snaps "This isn't your house bitch." Beth tells her "No trash it isn't, and I'm here for Alyssa's things. Where's Frank?" Frank walks out of the bedroom, and Beth asks "Interrupting anything?" Frank asks his Ex-Wife "Why are you here for my Daughter?" Beth goes "She's moving in across the hall from me. She's had it with your sex kitten." Frank rolls his eyes, as Erica tells him "Aunt Olivia isn't home. She and Allan went to Grandpa Lane's." Beth asks Frank "Did she upset you?" Frank goes "I'm not in the mood for this fight Beth! You said you would never remarry me. Here's.." Erica gets upset, and notices Cale pulling up, and runs outside, as Beth picks up some clothes in Alyssa's room, and warns "You will never learn, and it will be hell when you do. But Erica better be gone soon and I mean it! You will lose Alyssa!" Beth walks out, as Frank is quiet. Outside, Cale looks at Erica, and asks her "So do I kill you, or my sorry ass old man in there?" Erica asks "What do you mean Cale?" Cale quietly snarls "You have ruined my life, and I am going to deal with you and my Dad my way. But make damn sure I'll protect Alyssa!" Cale returns home, as Erica sends a text to Rachel.

    Meanwhile at The Evans Home, Aretha walks inside, as Willie sits and tells her Daughter sternly "I hope you don't think I'm letting that hussy get my Brother since her Husband's dead now." Aretha sighs "Mama you always hated Mrs. DuBois." Willie yells "She left Clem at the damn alter and he hurt so over it! I will never forget that. Thank the Lord for Cissy, now Eve! Doris DuBois will see me and will know what Clem is up to and who I am tomorrow when she arrives. I already informed her Daughter In Law." Willie goes to bed, as Rashad walks downstairs, and laughs "She seems very furious.." Aretha sighs as she and her Son share a hug "Baby boy, she's old now I can see. These two know each other from childhood, so this is a deep scar. Mama has never forgiven it. Expect anything and I have warned Uncle Clem." They head off as they call it a night. In Willie's room, she has a flashback to years earlier. Willie goes "I have nothing to lose."

    At Jamie's Mansion, Storm walks around it, as its empty, and plays heavy metal music and smiles "Deja vu." At Jamie's office at The Gossiper, Jamie sits at her desk, as a woman stands inside, and tells her "Today was perfect. Now to phase two. I am ready to make my appearance." Jamie snaps "I am calling this one! I mean it!' Another woman walks inside, and warns "I am doing my best to keep from killing both of you, and both of you owe me. Jamie and the woman look at the new arrival inside, and both of their jaws drop with fear in their eyes, as the older woman laughs in an evil tone. At Paul and Summer's Home, Paul walks into the bedroom, and says to his Wife "The boys are calling. They seen it." Summer screams in fury, and cries "How can she do this?" Paul consoles his Wife, cradling her gently in his arms. Back at Jamie's Mansion, Storm finishes walking around, and pulls out a lighter. At Hell Hill, Xavier and Leigh lay in bed, as he tells his Wife "Mother and Grandma will be ok. Jamie will pay with her life." At Jamie's Mansion, Storm flicks the lighter, and Jamie's Mansion goes ablaze, as Storm watches, and smokes a cigarette. Back at The Gossiper, Jamie tells the women "We all want the same thing, own this town once and for all."

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 317. New Scores

    At The Falcon, a local diner, Brock sits with Rachel, as she warns him "This is not going to go well." Brock asks "Are you scared? So what about age?" Rachel reminds him "You are the namesake of the most powerful man in Adam's Landing." Brock's eyes turn red, thinking of his Father. At Class, Xavier and Leigh walks in holding hands, and Ruthie asks her Grandparents, as both also greet Xavier's Niece with a hug "So things are normal now?" Xavier and Leigh nod and asks "Why are you so nosy Queenie?" Ruthie rolls her eyes, as Alyssa laughs and Xavier tells Ruthie "Here's the keys. Just know I call things.." Ruthie and Alyssa hug Xavier and thanks him, as Xavier leaves, and Leigh changes subjects, and tells her Granddaughter and Niece "Marco's arriving today." Ruthie volunteers to go pick him up. Leigh tells them "Sully's got a lot to pick up on and Jared doesn't help." Ruthie quickly leaves, as Alyssa catches her up on Erica, and Leigh quips "Olivia and Allison's the only ones that aren't whores Alyssa. Be glad you never met Desi."

    At The Sunset Club, Clint meets someone, and says to them "I got what I need now to make it happen." The other person smiles, and says "I am interested in why Ava is so involved." Clint goes "Something is off." The person looks at him, and laughs "Just the perfect time to show everyone I am the new boss in this town!" Clint looks on with worry, as the drinks arrive. At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny snaps at her Niece "Jamie just tell us what it is you have!" Beth adds "You are really pushing it bitch. What do you know that we need to?" Jamie asks her Aunt "Remember Lily Sullivan? My Sister I met once." Beth goes "And what does she have to do with this Jamie? She's been dead for years." Jamie walks around, holding the file and smirks "Tenny slept with Burt. And she apparently did not learn her lesson. Where's Uncle Floyd by the way. Too ashamed to come back to town to own up?" Tenny is silent, and cries "Go to hell Jamie. I'm out of here." Jamie yells "Truth hurts whore.." Beth shakes her head, and attacks her Cousin, and snaps "Nobody who is a professional gold-digging whore will ever call my Mama a whore in my damn presence trash!" Tenny leaves, as Beth and Jamie fight. 

   At Chantel's, Ava joins Aretha, Monica, and Willie, as Willie warns Monica "You should tell your Mama to stay in California." Ava asks "Well how is everyone? Looks like everyone is well." Aretha tells them "Monica's the new DA for Adam's Landing. We're having some drinks, but Mama's getting fiery." Willie snaps "Monica knows why I don't like her Mama in Law. Damn hussy." Aretha asks "Mama, that was in the past. Leave it.." Willie sighs "Well whatever you say but I do what I want Aretha! And I see Rashad and Jack. Excuse me bitches." Ava is taken aback, and goes "Willie is not herself." Monica answers "My Mother in Law and her have a past. It's a lie, but Willie never believed it to be one." Aretha sighs "And the news really got to her." Monica adds "It's a struggle raising old people." Ava takes a drink, and sighs "That's the honest truth." Ava checks her phone, and says "I'' see you at your office Aretha." Ava leaves, as Aretha tells them "She's got too much on her. I see it." Willie agrees, as Monica asks "What's up with Ava? She is more calmer." Aretha is silent and looks at them and says "I think its Winston."

   At Bree's Mansion, Bree visits with her Sister, as they look at photos, and Summer warns her Sister "Mom is really about to make a mistake nobody can save her from.." Bree quickly answers "I have no more use for her. She will pay." Summer asks her Sister "I need to find something new in life besides working for Mom." Bree is quiet, and quips "Be a spy." Summer hugs her Sister, and both say "For Grandma Ciarra.". as both begin to cry. At the ALPD, Paul and Bobby are inside Paul's office, and quips "Monica is a beast at this kinda work Son. You'll have your hands full." Paul laughs, and asks "Dad, since you're only helping Xavier, what's your plans?" Bobby goes "Oh I don't know. I'm ready to enjoy my Grandsons when all return from school, and the military." Paul quips "It's been a ride with Summer, but it's paid off." Bobby sighs "Wish Bree could find some love. She's always been on the wrong end." Paul asks "Do you think of Beth?" Bobby sighs with sadness "She has a part in her family that'll always come first. I do not come first in her life. But know we share something." Paul gets a phone call, and places it on speaker, as Tenny calls and cries with fear "Come help Beth. Jamie's there and this is bad. Call the guard.." Paul and Bobby rush out.

      At Hell Hill, Xavier sits in his study, and looks out the window, and takes a drink, as Storm walks in and tells Xavier "Your guest has settled in." Xavier nods, as he gets a text, and another, as Storm goes "Damn you're popular." Xavier is quiet, as he checks and goes "She wouldn't. Hell no..." Storm asks "Well boss, what's the plan? You are plotting some shit I see too well!!" Xavier snaps "Jamie Marx has not learned her damn lesson Storm. So.." Xavier writes down an address, and says "Take what you wish. No killing, but something like when you burned down your Mother's home. Alcohol's on me buddy." Storm grins.. At Class, Leigh sits in her office, as she talks to Brock on the phone, as he's at Ruthie's Penthouse as she signs the lease and stands next to his Niece, as Leigh warns her Son "Stay out of X's way whatever you do. I am no miracle worker Little X." Leigh hangs up, as she gets a photo sent to her, and gasps, and texts her Husband and Daughter, as Sully sits in her new office at Jackson Inc and her eyes turn red, and snarls "So you really think we're doing that bitch? Kiss my ass!" Sully calls her Cousin, and Bree answers, as Sully boldly orders "My office. Right now with Summer in tow!" Sully hangs up, as Summer looks at her Sister, and Bree says with a fearful tone "I sense this has to do with our Mother.", as they head to Jackson Inc.

    At The Exposer, Aretha is on the phone, yelling "Stop the story from all sites! Whatever it takes!!" Aretha looks up, as Ava tells her "Jamie's done played the wrong hand. Enough, is enough." Aretha warns her best friend "Winston needs you out of jail. Monica goes by the playbook." Ava pulls her pistol out, and goes "So do I Aretha." At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Jamie and Beth look at each other, as Jamie coldly says "You all will pay for the pain you've caused me. Ciarra will be known for what she was. And the same for your Mother. No price is needed for this." Beth warns Jamie "You've declared war bitch, and you will not be victorious this time. Not bringing my Mama into this." Tenny returns with Bobby, as he says "Paul is in the squad car." Tenny tells Bobby "Send her out before I go find that pistol my Daughter took from me.." Bobby tells Jamie "Let's go." Jamie looks at Beth and sends a text, as Beth looks at her Mother, and Tenny shows fear in her eyes, on the verge of tears. Bobby assures them "It'll be ok." Bobby walks out to make sure Jamie leaves, as she leaves with a smile. In Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Tenny vulnerably tells her Daughter "We both were lost. I don't know Beth. Like to see if we were dreaming.. How can she do this to me and Floyd??" Tenny cries into Beth's arms as she sees red.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 316. Unexpected and Unwanted Arrivals

   It's the next day in Adam's Landing and the day has kicked off. At Hell Hill, Leigh has left, as Xavier sits inside his study, reading a file and sends a text to his Daughter, then makes a phone call and asks "Has he arrived yet? Oh? Ok then. Let me know when he arrives." Xavier sits back, and says to himself "Time to adjust to this new lifestyle called slowing down." At Class, Leigh arrives, as Ruthie and Alyssa have arrived earlier and asks, noticing anger "What's wrong?" Leigh looks at them, and says "I'm not in the mood today to talk about X, or Little X!" Give me space please." Leigh walks into her office, as Ruthie looks at Alyssa, and goes "My Grandparents must be on the rocks too." Alyssa responds "I never known a healthy relationship, maybe well we will see about Uncle Xavier and Aunt Leigh." Ruthie asks her Cousin "How's things at home?" Alyssa goes "I am moving in with Bree. Dad has a choice to make." Ruthie goes "I think I'm ready to move out of Mom and Dad's. Hey..." Alyssa goes "Sully's old Penthouse?" Ruthie nods, and adds "We'll add Ginny into the idea."

    At HaleCorp, Jared and Clint walks into Winston's office, and both yell "What are you doing here?" Ava turns to them and coldly says "Think I'm letting two low lives destroy my Husband's legacy for his few relatives and others better than both of you." Jared asks "Did Sully call you and tell you about it? And how exactly is Grandfather?" Clint is silent as this is his first meeting with Ava, and Ava tells Jared "Don't worry about the source. And yeah, I can't wait until a bic is flicked on you. All the shit you've done to my sweet Niece Sully, messing with my other one, the whore." Clint goes "I'm walking out. This looks personal." Ava snaps "Sit your ass down Landon! Same for you Jared!" Ava bends across her Husband's desk, and sets a piece of paper on fire before putting it out, and says "I know all about your scheme, and now.. you will answer to me and leave Winston alone!" 

   At Jackson Inc, Sully and Jack are inside Jack's office, as Sully tells him "Daddy called out. Your Mom is at HaleCorp as we speak." Jack goes "Samantha's staying with Dad. Mom told her to this morning. She must of had a shot or two when she got up." Sully looks at her Cousin with worry and they hug, as Summer arrives, and Sully coldly warns "Bitch you seem to forget what I say." Summer snarls to her Cousin" Sully, you are so consumed with becoming the female Xavier you are just asking for it.." Sully slaps Summer, as Jack breaks his cousins up, and boldly asks Summer "So why are you here?" Summer sighs with frustration "Mom knows something about Tenny and Uncle Floyd. It involves my Grandma, and it involves us." Sully is quiet, as is Jack, as she sends a text.

    Meanwhile at Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth sits in the living room, and smokes a joint, as her Mother joins in and says "I want you to tell the Grandkids not connected to you being Grandma... except that little heifer of Frank's you dote on." Beth shakes her head, as Tenny continues "Tell them I do not want to see them." Beth goes "Mama, you are full of shit, as she hands her joint to her as their doorbell rings and Beth goes to answer, as she opens to find Allison, as Tenny yells "Damn!" Allison goes "Hello Grandmother." Tenny asks "Still with the puppy dog from that dog in heat that Beth once married?" Beth glares at her Mother, as she asks her Niece "What's the latest?" Tenny asks "Latest about what?" Beth and Allison's eyes widen, as Tenny warns "Am I sensing like Frank, same for Cale?" Beth looks at her Mother and Niece, and sarcastically goes "And here's our psychic at her young old age.." Allison says "Cale told me he's going to leave FJR." Tenny asks "And the whore?" Beth snaps "Shut up Mama! You are not getting involved! I am!" Allison asks her Aunt "Do you think it's that Erica Lane?" Beth nods her head, as Beth says "She was just at the hospital when I went in and did a surgery. I do know she has an appointment soon. I'll call my pal down in the lab," At FJR, the phone rings as its Alyssa. Frank and Erica has sex in his office. Unknown to them, Cale arrives and he reaches for his pistol, and fights to remain calm, with rage in his eyes, and heads to his office, putting his shop keys on his desk, and picking up a small box and putting a few keepsakes inside, with tears in his eyes.

     At Jamie's office at The Gossiper, Monica Dubois, attorney and former wife of Walter DuBois and board member warns "This is bad news Jamie. I already can't stand you, and here you go stirring up more shit. Wasn't for Javon, I'd tell you to go to hell!" Jamie smiles "Monica, I can't stand you either but these bombshells will blow up. My eyes are all over the place!" with a smile." Monica turns and goes "You'll need some serious help soon. I may have just moved here, but I have almost had it with your shit you selfish bitch." Jamie quips "Remember Javon now.." Monica walks out, as Summer walks in and asks her Mother "I see Ms. DuBois is here." Jamie snarls "Power play until the news breaks.." Summer looks at her Mother with fear and dread in her eyes.

    Back at Hell Hill, Bree arrives, as Xavier is in the living room, and asks his Niece "So did you consider my proposal?" Bree nods, and goes "Monica will be DA, she doesn't play with crooks who takes the law in their own hands. Paul will still be Commissioner." They hug, as Xavier says "Everything is going according to plan." Bree asks "What plan?" Xavier answers "Retirement Bree. I wanted Sully to have a strong hand like Bobby and I, and you will do that and always looked out for us." Bree gushes, and says "Uncle Xavier, that's the kindest thing you've ever said." Xavier tightly hugs her, and says "We always have shared a close bond. Why do ya think our fights are so passionate?" They laugh, as the door opens, and Brock walks inside, and sees them, as Bree asks "Cue for me to go pack up?" Xavier nods, and tell her "Leigh designed your office at Jackson Inc." Bree smiles as she leaves, and Xavier walks upstairs, and looks at his Son in disgust, and asks "What in the hell are you plotting you bastard?" Brock goes "Everyone's gotta live Father. And I am borrowing from your playbook. Rachel's incredible!" Xavier coldly walks into his Son's face, and snarls "You are messing with the wrong person. You need to be broken in half. I will see to it you ungrateful bastard." Xavier walks out and says "Thank Leigh for staying here. Stay away from me." Brock fumes, as he has a thought and as Xavier walks downstairs, he thinks of what he has learned, and looks up a moment, and says "You've really messed up Brock. And Leigh can deal with how your ass will be handled."

    At Rachel's office at The Gossiper, Rachel hangs up with her Cousin, sighing with dread "You are asking for it Erica.." Leigh storms inside, and yells "Whore! How the hell could you do to my SON what you tried to do to X years ago?" Rachel yells back "Leigh, I love Brock. He and I are kindred spirits, and you can deal with it, and same for the rest of your crazy family. At least Beth's preoccupied.." Leigh snaps "I'm not bitch! Think I'm some passive stand by my man through his ways? No. I will not let you hurt my Son, or my family Rachel! I know how you play!" Rachel walks over to her desk, and says "You can leave or be escorted..." Leigh heads to the door, and says "If I see anything about what you've done, game over trash." Leigh leaves, as Rachel leaves Brock a message, warning him "Your Mom just visited me." At Class, Ginny arrives, as she joins her Cousin and Aunt for coffee, as Ginny goes "The doctor is getting weirder. I feel unsafe." Alyssa and Ruthie looks at her and says "Well you know who to talk to." Ginny asks "What if Aunt Beth takes his side." Ruthie and Alyssa assure her "She cannot stand Craig Williams. She thinks he's a jerk and looking for a reason to fire his ass. If she learned what he's been doing to you, oh hell..." Ginny is silent, as she changes subjects, and tells them "I think I'll accept the offer on the old Penthouse across Aunt Beth and Gran. It'll be awesome." Ruthie laughs "It certainly will."

     At The Sunset Club, Jared drinks alone, as his Father In law shows up and Xavier asks "So how is working for Ava feel since Wade chose love, and left town. Wish you'd done the same." Jared snaps "You have let me know you are evil. I pray my Son does not allow you to brainwash him into hating me as it seems he does. And your Daughter I think is slowly showing a lot of her Daddy in her attitude. I want her to step down from taking your place. Let Jack or even hire an outsider like Clint to do it." Xavier takes a drink, and says in a tone of shock and disdain "So are you eluding that my Daughter can't do it?" Jared goes "Sully and I are married. You've never forgiven me for my affairs with Summer and Bridget and my child with both. I learned from you. When I respected you." Xavier looks at Jared, and tells him boldly and bluntly "You hurt Sully. That hurt me. That type of respect never comes back. As for you now, I think you should keep your opinions to yourself about my Princess or I'll personally deliver you a beating you will never forget." Xavier tells the bartender "Jared's paying." Meanwhile at HaleCorp, Ava checks her text, as Clint asks "Wanna meet more and have lunch?" Ava asks "What is in this for you? I know your history. Reminds me of Burt Corbin." Clint laughs "Are you.." Ava, in a serious tone states "Winston's long lost Son and a traitor. Snake. You won't hurt this company, and answer to me. I'll make damn sure that memo is sent! To hell with you and Jared, I'll run this right." Ava hands Clint a file and goes "There's where you stand. Now go to work." Clint leaves, as Ava goes through Winston's files, and finds one of interest.

    At Jazz, Allison visits with Matt, the bartender as Allan returns with Cale, as Cale tells them "I left my keys behind. Now how to break the news? Media will be swarming. Cale leaves family team.." Allison assures her Husband "All will be fine, and maybe my Grandmother will like you again. Saw her and she is hellbent both Frank and Cale are scoring bonus points with that slut Erica." Cale is quiet, as Allan and Allison both notice, but remain silent. At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth and Tenny are inside, as Beth tells her Mother "Ruthie, Alyssa, and Ginny are moving across the hall. Some new pals." Tenny snarls "Alyssa. Mama a whore in capital letters. Wish I'd killed Frank!" Beth rolls her eyes, and the doorbell rings. Tenny goes "I'm not in the mood Beth." Beth opens, as its Jamie, and Jamie walks over to her biological Aunt, and in a snarky, fake tone of pity says to her "It's just the three of us. All protecting sweet Mom's..." Beth slaps Jamie across the face fiercely, as Tenny is silent, and Jamie goes "Well my reason for coming over.. I know something. Something that'd finally destroy all of your reputations forever. I do have an asking price?" Tenny asks sternly "And the price is?" Jamie tells them, as Beth asks "What do you have?" Jamie laughs "Gotta pay to play cousin." At The Sunset Club, someone checks in, and looks around and heads to a suite.

      Day turns into evening in Adam's Landing, and at The Sunset Club, Ava, Winston, Jack, and Samantha have dinner, as they discuss the visit to their new mansion in Bannister Hills. Ava congratulates her Son and Daughter In Law, as Winston is quiet and looks dazed. Jack holds his Wife's hand tightly under the table, as Samantha tightly holds on as well, as Winston asks "Who are we toasting? Is Chant dead?" Ava nods, and says "Yes Winston. Chant is dead. Now drink." Winston starts to laugh to himself, as Ava looks at Jack and Samantha and goes "I think J.J. will like the new place. We do." At Jazz, Allison sits at the bar, as Olivia arrives, and hugs her Daughter, and asks "Ally, where's your Dad?" Allison goes "He went to the airport with Aunt Beth to meet Gran and I'm sitting here..." Olivia asks "Marriage trouble with Cale? Have you found out anything new?" Allison shakes her head. At The Farm, Rashad walks back to his car, as inside, Frank and Erica has sex in his bedroom. Meanwhile the back door opens, and Alyssa walks inside, hearing noise, and motions to the other person "It'll be ok. Thank you. Just go home and we'll talk more." Cale turns around, as he asks "Why is Erica here?" Alyssa quips to her Brother "Whoring through the family Cale. Like a plague Dad is addicted to." Cale nods, and leaves, with doubt in his eyes.

    At Sully and Jared's Mansion, Sully and Jared arrive home, as Jared asks his Wife "Where's Ruthie? Teaching her your work ethic? Turning her into another warped mind in your deranged family?" Sully warns her Husband "I know all I need about your new partner in HaleCorp, and connected everything. Now has Daddy?" Jared asks with a smirk "He was showing a felon around the property today. Gave him free room and board. He's plotting Sully. He wants you to run Jackson Inc.." Sully warns her Husband "What happens at Jackson Inc does not concern you. Let me make that clear. Also let me make known that you and Clint Landon better not be making any deals because I will have Daddy helping me, among others." Sully walks upstairs, as Jared looks up and has a thought, and sends a text. 

   At Hell Hill, Xavier storms in, as Leigh yells "You are a bastard X! Calling a roadblock, then suddenly you appear.." Xavier tells his Wife "I was following you. I want to know where Brock is. I'm kicking his ass. Why were you helping him? He's disgracing the family!" Leigh yells "He's your namesake! My Son!" I also think he's in trouble.." Xavier walks to the study, and goes "He said he didn't need me. Let him figure his own way out of the shit. He's gonna learn. Believe me he will learn." Leigh rolls her eyes, as she gets a text from their Daughter, and Brock's twin, Gracie, leaving a smile on Leigh's face, and looks towards the study. In the study, Xavier sits down, as he turns on his computer, and reads intently, as he goes "He is playing a dangerous game. His ass will pay if this hurts anyone in this family. That's a promise." In LaFayette, Brock sits in a motel room in LaFayette playing a message from Rachel, as she says "I have to go back to Adam's Landing urgently. I will be in touch loverboy." Brock lays on the bed, and takes a deep breath of dread, with worry on his face.

    Meanwhile, at The Gossiper, Jamie sits at her desk, as another person stands over, as they go "Everything is in motion. The boss is on their way to town. I would suggest being cautious." Jamie asks "Are you threating me? I own DuBois Publishing and I have paid for my debts! Damnit I am free now to destroy Xavier, Beth, and my Daddy's prized possession and rebuild it into mine forever!" The person takes a deep breath, and sighs "Well remember the man that you got this from was murdered. Also you are not free yet or never. You knew." The person walks out, as Jamie takes a deep breath, and sighs with anger "Angelica is an old woman who has lost her power. Well she's about to lose it. To me." Jamie makes a phone call." At Bree's Mansion, Bree texts her Sister, and says "Night, and cut Mom off. I have and felt great." Bree looks at her "nieces", as Ginny and Alyssa sits in her living room, as they talk and Alyssa warns her Cousin she considers an Aunt, as does Ginny "I'm not watching Erica destroy my Dad and take all he's earned!

    Ava and Winston has returned to Whispering Hills, as Winston smiles "What a wonderful day!" Ava tells her Husband "It certainly was for our family." Winston goes "I never believed Chant would amount to anything, but here he is with a Wife..." Ava grows frustrated and yells "Damnit Chant is dead Winston! That was your adopted Son and Granddaughter!" Winston grows upset, and walks into his study, as Ava pours a drink, and says to herself "Damn you Wade!" At HaleCorp, Jared arrives, as Clint meets with him, and goes "So you like to work late too?" Jared goes "Anything to be away from my Wife, heiress to Jackson Inc." Clint advises "Don't let her get away. That could hurt us." Jared snaps "My private life and this is different! So watch your mouth Clint!" Clint tells Jared "Well Jared, we are taking this for ourselves. You and I both have something to prove." Clint's phone rings, and goes "Time to go meet up with a friend, and well." Clint leaves, as Jared looks around, and takes a deep breath, returning to his and Sully's Mansion for the night.

   Meanwhile at Sully and Jared's Mansion, Xavier sits on the back porch, as Sully and her Father talk, and Xavier boldly assures her Daughter "Jared and the new guy won't be a problem. And you are capable of running him into a homeless camp somewhere with all you know Princess." Sully sighs with sadness "He asked where Ruthie was tonight. I didn't answer him. He's not who I married." Xavier sighs "I think you have a problem to solve. I can help..." Sully reminds him "Daddy, I know how you work. And Jared Hale is married to your Daughter. I'm capable of handling his shit, and finishing it." Xavier smiles, as he says "Leigh has went to bed for the night, and she's pissed, but she'll get over it." Sully goes "Brock?" Xavier nods, and says "He's on his way home I last heard. He's being tracked. He's getting it when his ass does come home!" Sully gets a text, and says "Well Jared's almost back. We got a lot to plan." Xavier hugs his Daughter, and tells her "I love you Princess." Sully tells her Father "I love you too." Xavier leaves, as Sully calls Ruthie, as she gets a text saying "At Gram's." Sully takes a deep breath, and anger grows in her eyes as she prepares to call it a night, sleeping in a separate bed than her Husband.

    At The Evans Home, Rashad walks in, as Aretha greets her Son with a hug, and says "Mama went to bed for the night but told me." Rashad gets emotional, and goes "Mom, I miss who I was." Aretha goes "Baby boy, you still are. You had an injury and it left a lifetime mark you are doing well with. Working at the hospital and helping others similar.." Rashad is silent, as he tries not to cry, and goes "I need help I think." Aretha wraps her arms around her Son, and goes "Rashad, you just need reassurance you are ok. And you are." At The Farm, Erica is in the bathroom, as Frank prepares to pour them a drink before calling it a night as he finds a letter from Alyssa. Frank takes a deep breath, and looks towards the bathroom.

Back at Cale and Allison's Mansion, Allison returns, as Cale and Ginny are in the living room, and goes "Grandma's back. A warning." Ginny tells her parents "I think enough is enough now. What's going on because I have had enough!" Ginny gets emotional, and heads to her room for the night, as Cale tells his Wife "See! Ginny can't handle this so I have my reason to tell Dad to find a new driver and leave FJR. For you my love." Allison eyes Cale, and slowly hugs him, and asks "Serious?" Cale, with anger in his eyes as he has a flashback before Allison kisses him, says "Yes." They head to their bedroom.

    At Beth and Tenny's Penthouse, Beth walks inside, as Ruthie sits on the couch and smokes a blunt, as Beth asks her Great-Granddaughter "Sully and Jared again?" Ruthie nods, as Beth goes "Roll two more." Tenny walks inside, as Allan and Olivia follow and Ruthie hugs her Great-Great Grandmother, as Tenny goes "I didn't know you smoke Sully?" Beth snaps "Stop it Mama!" Tenny goes "I'm kidding you old woman. You are a bitch Beth." Allan and Olivia, and Ruthie chuckle, as Beth asks "Now that Aunt Ciarra's passed I guess I'll be Mama's new punching bag." Tenny tells her Daughter "No, you're my sweet Beth... but you can be a bitch." Beth snides sarcastically "I learned from you." Tenny yawns, and goes "The Queen needs her sleep." Tenny heads off to her bedroom, as Beth, Allan, Olivia, and Ruthie are silent, and Allan and Olivia both tell Beth "Something isn't right. Mama didn't even wait for Ruthie to finish." Beth agrees, and says "And knowing her, it'll stay that way. She's certainly lost and will need our protection and support. She is already getting snappy, next she grows cold." Allan and Olivia leave, as Beth hugs them, and they head home, and Beth looks at Ruthie, and says "Well we'll just sit out here and share our stories. Sorry about home Queenie." Ruthie sits next to her Great-Grandmother, as Beth holds her close, and lights up, and says "We'll fix that. We're about to fix a lot of things." Meanwhile someone arrives, and check into The Sunset Club. At Jamie's Mansion, Jamie stands by her bed, as she gets a phone call. The person tells her "Tomorrow will change your life."

   


    

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 314. The Reboot, Part 2

     As the day passes, at Jazz, Xavier walks inside, where his Mother sits at the bar, and greets her Son with a hug, as Xavier asks her "How is Grandma holding up?" Beth points to her phone, and says "She's not answering her phone. Floyd's not answering his phone either." Xavier asks "Want me to call the guards up there?" Beth takes a deep breath, and goes "Baby, let's wait until tomorrow. Mama and Floyd's giving Aunt Ciarra what she wanted." In Blue Ridge, someone walks around the grounds of The Sullivan Estate, as they stop at Ciarra Sullivan's grave, and looks at it, and is silent. Inside Tenny and J.D.'s former estate, Tenny is silent, as she goes "I don't believe this." She sits up, as she goes "I don't believe this.", as a man wakes up next to her in Tenny and J.D.'s bedroom, and Tenny gasps "I'm naked.." Floyd and Tenny both look at each other, and goes "This stays between us." 

   At Jackson Inc, Sully returns, where her Aunt awaits her, and Sully asks "What did you learn?" Ava sits down at her Niece's desk, and goes "Wade sold his part in HaleCorp." Sully gasps, and asks "To?" Ava answers "Clint Landon. He's interesting and his background, and your Father's are similar." Sully rolls her eyes and sighs "Shit! Jared's been talking to him. He left a few weeks back and met him at Southpoint Beach." Ava asks her Niece "Jared's got a lot of his sperm donor in his veins sadly.." Sully interrupts "I know and so does the world thanks to Jamie!" Ava finishes "Do you think Jared's about to pull a fast one? I am warning you now, he does not need to mess with me." Sully goes "Shouldn't you let his Grandfather handle the situation?" Ava takes a deep breath, and goes "Sully, Winston is at an age he doesn't need to know the one Grandson he trusts is a failure. He still hasn't grasped Wade's shit yet." Sully asks her Aunt "And what else are you hiding? Jack is very quiet also about him, and Daddy." Ava goes "Another day." They hug, and Ava leaves, and Sully sits in her office, and gets a text, and replies "Tell me all you know."

    Meanwhile at The Exposer, Aretha Evans sits inside her office, as her Mother arrives and says "I told Clem to follow Tenny. He also just sent me a text you might want to see baby." Aretha looks, and gasps with disbelief. Aretha goes "And if Jamie finds out, this will be a war to end all of them in this town." Willie sighs "Well there's more also!" Willie fills her Daughter in, as Aretha tells her Mother "That is weird. But all these years nothing surprises me anymore." Willie changes subjects, and asks "Heard from Little Sidney?" Aretha laughs "Mama, he prefers Sidney." Willie quips "I don't care! My Great-Grandson. And how is he enjoying Valley Ridge?" Aretha sighs "He keeps talking about coming back to race cars. I warned him.." Willie gets emotional, as she says with fear "Rashad's crash almost killed him. We're lucky he lived.." Aretha sighs "It really affected him." At City Hospital, Craig sits in the lounge, and tells Dr. Kyle Webb "The old guard is getting out. Except the money. We can run the Evans out of this place. Terrance thinks he's a king.." Rashad walks inside and asks "And what more shit do you wanna say about my Uncle? Hey say something about me? I dare you.." Craig laughs "Former race car driver who's a head case, helping head cases." Kyle tells Rashad "You aren't us. You don't know anything about being a doctor. Your name is what got you hired.." Rashad rushes him, and angrily snaps "The hell you just say son of a bitch?" Sassy walks past, and runs in to break it up, as she tells Rashad "Go take a break." Rashad storms out, and Sassy warns Craig and Kyle "Do not let me see that again, and hope to God Beth doesn't." Craig laughs "Who are you to tell us what to do nurse?" Sassy smiles, and quips "I just know more than you. And keep this up, and you'll know too. Have a good day assholes." Sassy walks out, as Craig and Kyle look at each other, each plotting.

   At Jamie's Mansion, formerly home to Desi Lane, Jamie and Summer are inside the living room, as they drink wine and laugh, as Jamie tells her Daughter "My Mother dying, and now all of this is what I need to exact the perfect revenge after all these years!" Summer quips "I love sticking it to some, but it is still bothering me. I wish I could be close to Tenny.." Jamie goes "Shit, she hates us. But... like I said, she does not know what I know." Jamie hands a tablet over to her Daughter, as Summer gasps, and puts her glass down and says "Mom, I got to go home and cook dinner for Paul. He's been working very hard down at the ALPD. Gotta call my boys too." Jamie asks "So are you in or out?" Summer stands at the door, as she walks out, and takes a look up, as she heads to her home. Jamie meanwhile walks around the living room, as she calls Rachel, and Rachel, sitting in the hotel room in LaFayette dressed, as Brock is in the shower tells her "I'm about to return. Can't wait." Rachel hangs up, as Jamie smiles. At the Holiday Hotel, Brock, now dressed, walks out, and says "We're set now." Rachel goes "Exactly. We are set."

   Meanwhile at Hell Hill, Xavier returns, as someone follows him and goes "So what is it I'm supposed to do? And I gotta say, I'd enjoy a night with Millie Paige.." Xavier turns, and coldly warns his new "security", Storm Smallwood "Don't let me hear you say that shit again or I'll send your ass to Unity. You aren't in your little town on the river anymore. You are in Adam's Landing, and I am the one in this town you don't ever want to piss off." Storm takes a deep breath, and asks "So what is in this for me then? I know I owe you and Bobby Whitten.." Xavier says "You do. Wasn't for us, you wouldn't be free. But you are ruthless and I like that. You and I have some things in common." Storm laughs "I really messed up the woman I should call Mom, over my Dad. You mentioned something to me about your Dad, uh Frank.." Xavier goes, as they walk into his study "No Frank I thought was my Dad until my real Father died. In my heart though, I knew. Difference between us, I can be cordial with my Brother, because I know he isn't my Dad. I was so relieved knowing that." Storm is quiet, as Xavier pulls out some moonshine and says "Welcome to work Storm. My family gets the best." Storm looks at the jar, and Xavier says "You're alright." Storm smiles.

    At Jazz, Erica Lane arrives at the bar, and orders a drink from the bartender. Beth turns, as she asks "So what's your preference whore?" Erica gasps "Dr. Jackson? You're not the bartender here." Beth smiles "I know. Matt got a little payoff from me. He told me what I needed to know. You are above The Inn, and really don't have a clue do you?" Erica goes "Exactly what are you talking about Dr. Jackson? I am not Casey Ryan.." Beth bluntly goes "Well you're screwing my Ex-Husband. And his bank account too. Erica's eyes turn red as she looks at Beth, as she pulls out a statement, and Erica snarls "That little bitch of a Daughter.." Beth snaps "Watch your damn mouth about Alyssa! You are not ruining her life by destroying her Father's life. I am not going to allow it." Erica yells "And you are not married to Frank you old bitch!" Allan walks out of his office, and quickly tells Erica "Get out of here." Allan pulls his Sister to the side, and warns "I know how you are. And don't turn into Mama. Now come with me and I will teach you how to.." Beth rolls her eyes, as she lovingly calls him "Asshole." Allan quips back "Big Sis, you are older than me. You start acting like our Mama, I'm telling Xavier!" They share a laugh, a brief distraction. In Blue Ridge, the car arrives, as the driver puts Tenny's luggage into the back. Tenny looks at Floyd, and tells her Brother In Law "Sayyid is here, and will drive you back in my car. I'm taking the jet. Let's just say its for the best." Floyd nods in agreement, as they share a hug, and Tenny gets in the car, and shuts the door, and cries "I hope you forgive me up there baby Sister." Back at The Sullivan Estate, Sayyid pulls up, and Floyd looks at him, and asks "Willie?" Sayyid nods, as they also leave. Someone appears once they leave, and sends a text.

     At HaleCorp, Jared sits inside his office, as his secretary walks in and says "Clint is here." Jared tells her "Send him in." Clint walks inside carrying a briefcase and hands it to Jared and says "Open it." Jared walks to his desk and does as he goes "What is this for?" Clint sits, and looks around and goes "Jared, I want Winston's percentage, and you and I will be set. Xavier will not sleep again." Jared is silent. At Whispering Hills, Jack and Samantha sits in the living room as Winston asks his Step-Son and Granddaughter "So moving next to Summer?" Jack sighs "No Dad! Bree! Next to Mom's old Mansion. We're going to stay here until it's built. I am calling Uncle Floyd when he's feeling at himself again to help." Samantha tells her Grandfather "When Ava comes home, we'll go look at where we're planning to build." Winston snaps "She has me locked in this damn house!" Jack takes a deep breath and walks outside, and Samantha sits down next to Winston, grabs his hand, as Winston tears up, and cries "What's really going on?" Samantha hugs him, as Jack stands outside with anger in his eyes.

    At Hell Hill, Storm walks out, as Leigh glares at him, and Xavier looks at his Wife and asks "Sudden break?" Leigh asks her Husband "Same to you X. Why are you home?" Xavier pulls out his phone, and asks Leigh "What are you hiding from me?" Leigh is silent, as she goes "Brock's having trouble and he needs our.." Xavier yells "You are his enabler Leigh. Storm Smallwood I wish was my Son than that.." Leigh angrily slaps him, and snarls "Xavier Jackson I can't believe you.." Xavier goes "I know he quit college. But is he homeless?" Leigh shrugs, as Xavier snaps "You don't know. Well shit, he may be on drugs. And here you are helping the piece of shit." Leigh walks to the door, and warns "X, we are not going to have this fight." Leigh returns to Class, as Xavier stands in front of his study, and sends a text.

   Back at Jackson Inc, Jack walks inside Sully's office, as she goes "Thank you. I saved it to show Daddy when I leave." Jack is silent, as Sully asks "What's wrong Jack? What's up with Winston?" Jack looks at Sully, and says "If anything happened to him, my Mother will lose it." Sully yells "Well what is it?!!" Jack looks down, and tells her as Sully is quiet, and goes "Oh no! I am here." Sully and Jack hugs, as Jack goes "I hope Mom doesn't take on more than she can." At Chantel's, Ava sits at the bar, as she watches her phone and she tells the bartender "I want a strong drink." Ava glares at the phone as her eyes turn red. At Jazz, Beth sits inside Allan's office, as they discuss Erica, and Allan takes a toke from a joint, and goes "Just do as I advise when it comes to Erica Lane. Olivia has a soft spot for her. For why, I don't know. Guess we both have a lot of our Mama in us." Beth takes a hit, and laughs "Guess we do." They receive a text from Tenny, and they get up, heads to Adam's Landing International Airport.

    Back at City Hospital, Willie arrives, as she visits with her Son and Grandson inside Terrance's office, as they discuss the new staff and earlier. Willie warns them "Terrance I warned you. Rashad's injury..." Rashad snaps "Enough with the accident. I know I should be thankful, but I feel incomplete, and I know who just to talk to. Not you Grandma!" Willie gently says "Go visit Frank, he'll help you." Rashad walks out, as Terrance goes "Williams and Webb's going to tempt Beth out of retirement Mama." Willie assures her Son "They don't wanna mess with Beth. That's a fact!" At Jamie's Mansion, Jamie hangs up the phone and paces the floor, and has a thought. She leaves, headed to her office at The Gossiper. At Paul and Summer's home, located in town, Paul asks his Wife "What is your Mother planning? I swear I am over this shit!" Summer walks out of the kitchen, and assures her Husband "So am I Paul. I left her with it. With my Sons growing up. Time for me to do the same." Paul nods in agreement. At Hell Hell, Xavier sits in his study, as he hangs up the phone, and calls Storm, who sits in the Storm Shelter, and smokes a joint, as he asks "Checked out your place?" Storm quips "I love this storm shelter. Just perfect to exact revenge." Xavier laughs "Good to hear you are getting comfortable." Meanwhile at Class, Leigh and Ruthie sits inside Leigh's office, as Ruthie smiles "Marco Cavetti's coming back!" Leigh gasps happily "Yes! Someone who'll back me, and likely side with X on your Uncle." Leigh gets a text from Brock, and then sends him money, and finds her account blocked." Leigh's eyes turn red, as she checks her GPS, and says "LaFayette", and storms out, as Ruthie rolls her eyes, and makes a phone call.

Daylight And Darkness: Episode 313, "The Reboot" Part 1.

    It's been a long time since we've last visited Adam's Landing and the families and lives of its people. In 2014, things exploded, and left lasting impacts on many of our characters. As time has passed, children grow, some pass on, and things have changed since our last episode of Daylight And Darkness. The series since were "dreams", but now we go back to the end of the show all of you knew and loved so much as did I in creating and writing this great serial, ladies and gentlemen, Daylight And Darkness: The Reboot!


     Over five years have passed since last visiting Adam's Landing, and so much has changed and evolved among Adam's Landing's citizens and at Hell Hill, Xavier sits inside his study, as Leigh walks inside, and tells her Husband "I have had some wild dreams again X. I'm getting worried." Xavier quips "Try some of mine." Leigh takes a deep breath, as Xavier gets a text, and Leigh asks her Husband "Everything ok?" Xavier nods and says "Yes my love. It's time." Leigh sighs "X are you sure about this? Can you really step away from Jackson Inc because all you've done in your life is work." Xavier tells his Wife "Our kids are grown, and time to pass the batons." Leigh walks out of the study, as she has a thought, and goes "You're lying to yourself X. And there's more to this."

     At Tenny's Penthouse, where Beth now lives with her Mother, Beth walks into the kitchen, and drinks a cup of coffee, as she opens a pouch, and is silent for a moment, and sends a text, and the front door's unlocked, as Allen, Olivia, and their Granddaughter, and newest doctor at City Hospital, Ginny Stone walk inside and Allen asks his Sister "Has Mama called you yet? Her phone is going to voicemail." Ginny sighs "When it happened, she seemed dead inside afterwards. Like a zombie." Beth tells them "Mama's not good with this sort of thing. But she's honoring her wishes. It's the after effect I'm most worried about." Olivia reminisces "When she and I went on that road trip to L.A., and she drove.." Allen tells his Wife "Olivia, she flew on Xavier's jet this time." Beth tells her Brother and Sister In Law "If she doesn't return by tomorrow, we're going to Blue Ridge."

     At Whispering Hills, Ava, Winston, Jack and Samantha, who's now his Wife sits in the kitchen, as they have breakfast and Jack tells his Mother "J.J. is doing great in Unity." Ava sighs "I can't believe he's grown." Winston meanwhile asks his Granddaughter "Have you spoken to your Mom lately?" Samantha nods, and says "She's in Sugar Creek, but steering clear of she who shall not be named." Ava quips "I'd love to think Angelica's kicked the bucket, but likely somewhere.." Winston finishes "plotting." Jack goes "I know Wade still keeps in touch with her. And his Wife, well she's her new Mother.." Ava quips "That whore's flock fits her perfectly. Jamie, Angelica the evil bitch of South America, and Casey Ryan, who Beth made disappear." Winston changes subjects, as he asks Jack "So what's the game plan at Jackson Inc with Xavier's plans?" Ava tells her Husband "Winston you know already. And you need to go handle your bastard Grandson and get control on HaleCorp, or let Sam." Samantha gasps "Me?" Ava asks "Wouldn't you like to have something to do now that J.J.'s moved? You helped me in the past and were quite a pro." Samantha tells her Mother In Law "Let Jack and I consider it. Time for us to leave anyway. We're going to check the progress on our estate over in Bannister Hills." Ava hugs her Son and Daughter In Law, as they leave, and Winston looks around, as Ava tells him "Guess now we need to get moving ourselves." Winston goes "Go where?" Ava glares at him and sighs "Hell who knows Winston."

    At Sully and Jared's Mansion, built next door to Hell Hill, Ruthie, now an adult walks into the kitchen, as Sully and Jared read their Son, Cain's report from boarding school with dismay. Ruthie asks her Mother "What has Grandpa got in mind?" Jared sighs "He's going to test this marriage." Sully snaps at her Husband "I think we had that talk Jared! If Daddy is stepping down, I will step up so to speak. It's the worst kept secret thanks to Mom." Ruthie tells them "I'm helping Grandma with Class, and her friend's moving back." Jared gets a text, and snarls with disgust "Oh shit. Wade did it. Son of a bitch!" Sully asks "Jared what's wrong?" Jared walks out, as Ruthie looks at her Mother, and asks "Are the two of you having problems?" Sully looks at her Daughter, and grabs the keys, as she checks her phone and goes "Ruthie, I don't have an answer for you sweetheart. For your Dad, he will always be conflicted sadly. And my Daddy doesn't forgive, and sure as hell doesn't forget. You and Cain are the reason Jared Hale walks alive." Ruthie quips "Grandpa has that reputation." Sully laughs, as they hug "Sweetie, we all do in a way."

    Meanwhile at the headquarters of The Gossiper, rival to The Exposer, Jamie is inside her office, as her assistant walks in and tells her "Your Daughters are here Ms. Marx." Bree and Summer walk inside, as Jamie tells them "Now that my biological Mother is dead.." Bree sighs "You're scheming aren't you? I hoped my talk with Uncle Frank might've worked." Summer tells her Sister "She was close to me. And she and you were close Bree. I think we deserve something." Jamie, in a cunning tone says "Girls we all do. Walter's attorney is coming to town to help me fight that old bitch and Beth and the rest of them." Bree boldly goes "Oh no Mother! I am not about to get into a war with Aunt Beth and Allan. With Tenny likely going to you know who..." Summer laughs "Xavier's not worried about..." Jamie smiles "I know all about little Junior quitting college and living abroad. I just haven't shared it yet." Bree warns her Mother and Sister "Just know if the two of you want to go to battle over Grandma Ciarra's estate to leave me out of it and know I'm not cutting either of you a damn break if I meet you in court." Bree walks out, as Jamie tells her Daughter "Summer, she doesn't know what I know." Summer sits and sighs "It is sad the two of you never grew close." Jamie laughs "Well it doesn't matter now. I'm getting what I deserve from the old bitch, and Tenny Sullivan if her mind still works will not test it." Summer walks out, as she works with her Mother, and Rachel Lane. Jamie makes a phone call, and goes to voicemail, which she hangs up and sends a text.

      At The Farm, Frank, and his Daughter with Casey Ryan, who disappeared from Adam's Landing after their Daughter, Alyssa's birth sits with her Father as she goes "I hate this bitch you are seeing. Want me to tell Aunt Beth?" Frank tells Alyssa "Cale doesn't need to know either. I know you've noticed things been rough lately between him and Allison." Alyssa gets a text, and heads out as she tells her Father "Seriously consider enjoying a life without commitment." Frank asks "When did you turn into such an adult?" Alyssa quips "Graduating high school, and working with Sully down at Class." Frank is quiet, as he has a thought and leaves. Meanwhile at FJR, Cale is in his office, as he talks to his Wife, and Allison warns her Husband "You're working too much." Cale snaps "Damnit I've had enough, now I have things to do for next season!" Cale hangs up as someone sits inside his office and goes "So when are we going back to our Suite?" Cale snaps "You being here is bad enough. If Dad shows up, god knows what he might do."

    Meanwhile at Jackson Inc, Xavier arrives in his office, and notices a message, and rage fills his eyes, as Jack arrives and asks "Another of Jamie's minions calling about Brock?" Xavier nods, and says "I am trying my best to keep this from Leigh. She sees him as her Little X. I don't want what happened years ago to happen again." Jack tells his Uncle "If she's smart she'll keep her mouth shut." Jack walks out, as Xavier makes a phone call, to no answer and says "I am about to come find you and fix this and you will see what I truly am capable you spoiled son of a..", and hangs up, and gets up to pour a drink with anger in his eyes. At Class, Sully, Leigh, and Ruthie sits inside, as Leigh tells them "Alyssa told me of Frank's new woman. Isn't there an Erica Lane related to Rachel if I recall?" Sully tells them "Yes, it was Desi and Olivia's Brother's Daughter. He died from cancer years ago. Desi was still in charge." Ruthie asks her Mother and Grandmother, as Leigh gets a text from Xavier Jr, and replies "Send you some later son." Sully notices and bluntly goes "Mom are you giving Brock money? Daddy will royally go batshit! Daddy told me of college.." Leigh sighs "Not today Sully. He's my Son." Sully asks "And do you go this far out for Gracie? She's in college." Leigh snaps "X favors the two of you and Millie wherever she is! Brock has me, Beth, Tenny, and did have a bond with Ciarra.." Ruthie cries "I'll miss Aunt Ciarra. How's Gran?" Sully answers "No answers since going to Blue Ridge to honor her wishes. Uncle Floyd was injured and in a Lexington Hospital. He's stable still thankfully." In a Holiday Hotel in LaFayette, Xavier Jackson Jr, who goes by Brock, walks the floor, as Rachel lays on the bed, and assures him "Your secret is safe. Think Xavier Senior will allow this to hit the media platforms and newspapers?" Brock turns, and tells her "He never has looked at me like I'm good enough. But I sincerely hope you're not playing me for Jamie's vendetta against my family. Gram. Gran, and my poor Aunt Ciarra plus some have been through too damn much! But..." Brock drops his pants, as Rachel jumps and wraps her legs around him, as they have sex.

     At HaleCorp, Ava arrives, as Jared asks "Where the hell is Grandfather?" Ava answers "The Sunset Club Jared. I got the message. He doesn't need to know and best you don't know anything but that I'm speaking for him." Jared smirks "You and my Father In Law must think a merger's about to return again." Well that's not happening. You and the almighty Xavier can kiss that goodbye!" Ava sits in Jared's chair in his office, and asks "So tell me who is this man they call Clint." Jared paces, as he says "He worked in the past for Wallace's, and Sullivan's when he started out. Cutthroat like Grandfather. Speaking of him, why are you really here?" Ava snaps "Wade Isaac Hale! He has hurt Winston. He feels betrayed Jared. Is it in your blood to do that. I know Summer never commits. I know Winston has put me through hell, but he's.. well let's say he is retired and best left like that for all of us. I'm protecting him!" Jared asks "Want to meet Clint?" Ava orders "I am going down to The Sunset Club now Jared, but you fill me in. Expect it to be by call. I hate texting. Bobby's runoff with Russell is over now and welp!" Ava leaves, as Jared is silent, and gets on his computer, and types 'Clint Landon', as his eyes widen.

    At City Hospital, Beth walks inside, as she's greeted by Terrance, Rashad, who has retired from racing to follow his medical career as, a surgeon and also sports medicine. Terrance is now CEO, as Beth owns the hospital and its Chairman. Beth asks "Where is Sassy?" Terrance tells them "Dr. Williams has caused much drama on his wing. Her first challenge as head of nursing. Got a feeling a lawyer will be needed, and know one." Beth tells her longtime friend "Call him then. Craig Williams won't ruin my hospital because.." Rashad quips "You own it." Beth nods, as she gets a text, and heads off, as Dr. Craig Williams appears, and says "I used my hiring power, and hired this Dr. Kyle Webb. He doesn't prefer it, but he and I are very close. If a Uncle and Nephew can work here, with another who doesn't need it, and another who owns it.." Rashad warns Craig "Beth has never liked your type. Don't be surprised if you have to go find a new hospital." Craig warns "It's only begun." as he walks off, and the others look at themselves with dread.

    Back at Jackson Inc, Xavier hangs up the phone, as he yells "Damnit!" Xavier gets a text from Bobby, and takes a deep breath. At Class, Leigh sits in her office, as she privately speaks to Brock, and tells her Son "You need to come home Son. I miss my baby." Brock, sitting naked in a hotel suite, with Rachel next to him, says "I will when I'm ready. Dad did the same. So did you." Brock hangs up, as Leigh wires him a large sum of money, In Sully's office, Ruthie and Alyssa talk, as Ruthie suggests "Time to get Ginny and have girl's lunch somewhere." Alyssa agrees, as Ruthie calls Ginny, as she answers at her station at City Hospital, and tells her Cousin and best friend "It's a mad house here right now. I'll take a rain check." Ginny hangs up, as Craig touches her face, and says "Good. Continue to be the good young doctor and see where it gets you. And this never happened." Craig leaves, as Ginny shivers, feeling violated and scared. At Chantel's, Sully walks in, as Jamie and Summer greet her, and Sully warns her Aunt and Cousin "I am only here for business." Jamie tells her Niece "So are we, and here you are. How's Auntie Tenny?" Sully snarls "You two never gave a damn about Aunt Ciarra, and look at you.." Summer goes "Sully, you know damn well we grew close, unlike she and my Mom." Jamie quips "Well now back to my life, and how to spin this." Sully warns them "Mess with my Gran, or Uncle Floyd, and it will be the worst experience you've ever seen you two selfish bitches." Sully heads to her table, as Summer looks at her Mother, and Jamie silently looks at her Daughter, as they return to The Gossiper's Headquarters. As they walk out, Jamie gets a text, and replies "Perfect."
