At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, the door to Zach's hospital room's locked, as Zach looks at his Cousin in fear, as Lorenzo whispers "Want to say something Zach? I'll let you talk if you promise to tell me the damn truth, or else as I said, I'll finish the job of whomever shot your worthless ass. So tell me who I should send my gratitude to?" Zach's hand reaches towards the side of the bed, as Lorenzo grabs his wrist, and snarls "This is only you, and me, and be thankful you are in this hospital bed with what I'd like to do." Zach yells "Aunt Elizabeth.." Lorenzo snarls angrily "My mama..." Zach, in a scared tone, goes "She shot me, and then showed up here, and tried to finish me..." Lorenzo rips the IVs from Zach, and drags him out of the bed, and grabs Zach's throat, and puts his pistol back inside his mouth, as he goes "My Mama? My deceased sweet Mother did this to you?" Lorenzo is silent, as Zach makes a scream, as Jack's in the hallway, and hears his Son, and Lorenzo warns Zach "Don't EVER bring up my Mama's name up again. And you should consider your options. You owe me, or else, you are dead." Lorenzo walks over to the door, and unlocks it, and walks out, as Jack yells at Lorenzo "What in the hell did you just do to Zach you evil son of a bitch?" Lorenzo tells his Uncle "Zach's hallucinating, I'd recommend calling the crazy house. Have a nice day, and watch yourself." Lorenzo leaves, and Jack rushes inside, as Zach's on the floor, and Jack asks his Son "Did he hurt you?" Zach tries to get out of the floor, but falls, as Jack helps him back into bed, and Zach tells his Father "I need to get out of town Dad." Jack tells his Son "That will be taken care of. And I'll make damn sure Lorenzo or his deranged family doesn't use you for a punching bag again." Meanwhile in Dr.Nolan's office, Lorenzo pulls out his checkbook, and tells Dr.Nolan "Here's a donation to this hospital, but if you fail, I will have the doors locked. And also remember, I hold a seat on the board." Lorenzo walks out, as Dr.Nolan looks at the $1,000,000 check, and says to himself "Reminds me of being an intern in Adam's Landing."
At Pittman Park, on the banks of Lake Pittman, Blake and Sarah sit on the ground, as Blake holds Sarah in his arms, as Sarah sighs with content "I love the scenery here. It's my version of heaven." Blake asks Sarah "It'd be a special place for a first." Sarah looks at Blake, as she reminds him "I thought we decided to wait for marriage." Blake goes "This spot would be perfect, and nobody's here." Sarah looks at Blake, as their eyes lock, and they kiss, and Sarah takes off Blake's shirt, as Blake undresses Sarah, as passion grows between the two of them, and they begin to make love for the first time. Meanwhile down the road at Randi's Place, Felicia walks inside, as Randi, Tilly, and lawyer Luke Mason are at a table, as Felicia asks her Mother and Sister "Has Mr.Mason told you yet?" Randi looks at Luke, as does Tilly, as Randi asks her Oldest Daughter "We know Haley and Zach are divorcing." Felicia smiles "And so are Daddy and that old bitch. Today was it, he's finally seen the light! Happy hour!" Luke tells Felicia and Tilly "Don't get too excited, Jack didn't call my office first. Ann did, and if I were either of you, I'd prepare him a room, because there's no pre-nup, and I'll have to read the paperwork at my office, but from what my assistant told me, Ann's about to clean him dry." Randi shakes her head, and goes "I warned Jack years ago about getting back together with her. I warned him, but even if they divorce, she'll always be in his orbit, and same for him." Felicia assures her family "I think with what's happened to Zach, Daddy's eyes opened." Tilly yells "About damn time. I'm tempted to go over to that estate and visit her." Felicia looks at her Sister, as Randi warns them "Don't do it girls. You'll play into her hands, and she'll sit back and use it to destroy everything Jack owns, and his family as well that isn't related to her." Luke gets up, as he hands Randi $1,000, and tells her "Here's your money for kicking my ass at pool." Randi smiles, as she holds up a beer "Come back and play another round with me again sometime Luke." Luke leaves, as Felicia and Tilly talk to themselves, and Randi sternly warns her Daughters, as the bartender brings drinks over "Don't either of you go visit that bitch. I mean it." Felicia snarls "I'd love to throw this in her face, and we know lawyers lie." Randi sighs "Remember one thing hot shot, Ann was a Daddy's girl, and she has the upper hand. I don't recall how it all goes, but just listen to me, and leave her alone." Tilly changes subjects, and asks her Mother and Sister "Has either of you heard from Sarah?" Randi asks "Didn't she and Blake go over to Barbara's?" Tilly sighs "They should have returned by now." At the bar, someone listens in, as she pays the bartender, and tells him "Call me and I'll treat you." The bartender accepts, as the woman goes "I'm staying at the Benjamin Lodge." The woman leaves her room number, and phone number and leaves, as she has a thought, and says to herself "How the tides have turned."
Meanwhile at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki returns home, as Lorenzo Jr sits in the living room, and cries, as Nikki sits down, and Lorenzo Jr cries "I'm scared Mom. Tyrone's going to rat me out to Daddy. He will kill me!" Nikki reminds her Son "No he won't! If he does, there's a room waiting for him in Lexington State Prison." Lorenzo Jr cries "Why can't people understand?" Nikki holds her Son in her arms, and tells him gently "My Mama supports you and Lizzie, and I'm sure some of the family will as well. It's time you do come out. Eventually Lorenzo's going to know about this." Lorenzo Jr sighs "What if I run away?" Nikki snaps "Stop that shit! You are working your ass into a damn frenzy, and trust me! I got your back baby. And I know Mama tore into your Uncle down there at the casino, and when she tears into you, that's scary enough." Lorenzo Jr "If Mamaw was here, it'd be easier." Nikki sighs "I know, but she isn't, so you have to trust me with your Daddy." Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother "I'm going to my room and have some time to myself." Lorenzo Jr hugs his Mother, as Nikki assures her Son "I promise you everything will be ok." Lorenzo Jr walks upstairs feeling doubt, as Nikki takes a deep breath, and says to herself "I hope I'm right."
At Thomas Auto Headquarters, Matt sits inside his Uncle's office, as William looks over sales, and tells his Nephew "You and J.R. are doing damn good at running things. I'm ready to make one of you CEO." Matt tells him "Uncle William, I don't want that much power. And this is yours, and you should consider your Grandson." William sighs "He's not into this, and Lorenzo is very smart, but he has his hands full." Matt changes subjects, as he asks his Uncle "How's everything with Aunt Ann?" William tells Matt "When I left, she was feeling better, and she's in charge, so that always makes her happy." Matt laughs "Nothing will keep her from coming out on top." William tells his Nephew "She's already wanting to clean Jack's bank account, and same for Miller Enterprises, and it could pay off for me." Matt is confused for a moment, as he asks "How exactly could it work out for you?" William reminds him "Jack's my rival, and Ann isn't interested in car dealerships. She's interested in your Papaw's company, and after that divorce, her diamond throne will have some gold added to it. I expect her to be a very happy woman, and hell, she's earned it. Jack's a bastard, and don't forget, I may have mellowed with Elizabeth passing away, but when it comes to Jack Miller, I don't mind helping dry his damn well." Matt gets a page, as he tells his Uncle "Keep me informed and may want to let Lorenzo know. It'd make his day." William nods, as he opens his desk, and pulls out a map, a he laughs "I'll be the largest car dealer in the United States when that divorce's finalized. Jack you are screwed." In Matt's office, Matt walks inside, and is stunned, as Sandi, and Haley are inside, and Matt's in shock, as Sandi tells Matt "You haven't changed one bit." Matt looks at Haley, and goes "Congratulations on the divorce from Zach's worthless ass." Sandi tells Matt "I heard he got stomped by you, and the family. Thank you for defending our Daughter." Haley's eyes widen, as does Matt's, as Matt asks Sandi "What? Haley Miller's my Daughter?" Sandi tells him "Look at her Matt, and look at this." Sandi pulls an envelope from her purse, as Matt opens it, and starts to cry, as he looks at Haley, and Haley looks at her Mother, and Matt, as she asks them "What in the hell are the two of you hiding?" Matt tells Haley "I'm your Dad, and I'm the ONLY man your Mom's ever loved." Sandi nods, as she walks over to Matt, and kisses him, and tells their Daughter "And I never signed our divorce papers, so I hope it doesn't disappoint Babs." Matt and Sandi holds each other, as Matt tells his Wife "I have missed you Sandi Wilson." Haley looks at them, as she yells "I'm a Thomas?" I'm related to the Thomas family Mom? Sandi turns around, and smiles "Oh yes Haley, and now it's time Barbara learns she has a Granddaughter." Matt warns Sandi "Remember that threat?" Sandi laughs "She's old now, and she wouldn't hurt me." Matt sighs "Mama keeps her word, but knowing this, maybe, she will lighten up." Haley walks out in tears, as Sandi tells her Husband "I'm going to visit Babs." Sandi walks out, as Matt yells "Wait!" Outside on the sales floor, Haley yells at her Mother "How could you keep this from me all these years?" Sandi puts her arm around her Daughter, and sighs "I had to. But it's safe now." Sandi and Haley walks out, as Matt sits in his office, and calls his Mother, as Barbara's phone goes to voicemail, and Matt tells his Mother "I hope you're not home Mama."
At The President's Room, J.R. and Jenny are at the bar, as Jenny asks her Brother "Do you think it was wise leaving Mama by herself." J.R. quips "She's happy now. She's about to be free from this hell she's been in the past 20 some years with Dad." Jenny goes "And he can turn his attention to the family he ever really gave a shit about anyway." J.R. sighs "Well Sissy, Victor was the one who was a real Father to us. He and Mama couldn't have kids, and he always treated us better than Dad." Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's estate, Barbara stands in the living room, as movers pack up Jack's belongings, as Ann asks her Sister "Want to have a toast to independence Barbara?" Barbara quips "Really prepping to as you say dry the well?" A mover walks up to Ann, and asks "Mrs.Miller where do you want us to take Mr.Miller's things?" Ann smiles, and goes "After the divorce is settled, I'll be Ms.Gray, and let's start off with calling me that. And oh yeah, pull that picture down from the wall and the one next to it." Barbara looks at her Sister, as the mover pulls down Jack and Ann's portrait, and a photo of Felicia, Tilly, and Zach, as Ann motions for the photo, and smashes the frame, and tells her Sister "Now I want to rid Thomas Holdings of any connections to Randi's family of whores and cokeheads." Barbara sighs "That will be up to Lorenzo. He thinks the world of Felicia. She does a great job running Duncan's, and.." Ann snaps "I could do much better, and hell, her poor Daddy will need all the support he can get with what I have in mind." Barbara checks her phone, as she tells Ann "Leave Felicia alone, and let her run Mr.Duncan's business. He was Lorenzo's Papaw also, and Elizabeth's Father." Ann quips "If Elizabeth was here, she'd back me." Barbara tells Ann "Now that I see you are happy, I'm returning home. Don't get carried away prissy." Ann yells, as Barbara leaves "And call my hairstylist for a color job. It's on me!" Ann walks into Jack's study, as she unlocks a safe, and pulls some files out, as she laughs "Jackie, how screwed you are, and your three bastards, and that whore Randi."
Meanwhile down at Randi's Place, Felicia, Tilly, and Randi have toasts to the future, as Randi laughs with a buzz "Ann's about to get her long overdue payback." Tilly meanwhile changes subjects, as she calls her Daughter, and the phone goes to voicemail, as Felicia's phone rings, as it's Haley, and Felicia answers, and Haley tells her "I need to talk to you. I'm at the manor." Felicia looks at her Mother and Sister, and tells them "Haley's back home, something's wrong." Randi asks "Do I need to go with you?" Felicia tells them "I'll handle this, and the two of you be safe." Felicia rushes out, as Tilly tells her Mother, as she calls Blake's phone, and it too goes to voicemail "I have a feeling they're doing what I did years ago Mom." Randi yells at the bartender "Two straight vodkas." Tilly asks Randi "Is it time I let Sarah know the truth?" Randi goes "It has nothing to do with Ann, or J.R., so you may want to warn Sarah." At Pittman Park, on a grassy knoll, Blake and Sarah are naked, as they hold each other, and Sarah tells Blake "That was wonderful. I love you so much Blake." Blake kisses Sarah, and tells her "I love you too Sarah Blair. You are the only woman I ever want." Meanwhile a car pulls up, as Blake and Sarah grows nervous, and covers themselves with a blanket, as Scarlet Thomas, Blake's Mother gets out of her car, and looks at her Son, and Sarah, and goes "Blake Walton! What in the hell have you done?" Blake looks towards the lake, as Scarlet glares at Sarah, and tells her Son "This shit's about to be over. Tonight! Barbara's! Now put your damn clothes on!" Scarlet throws Blake and Sarah's clothes to them, as she walks back to her car, and drives off, as Blake has a look of dread in his eyes, as does Sarah." At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Jack listens, as Zach tells his Father of what happened, and Jack assures his Son "Lorenzo won't be back here again. And don't fear his family." Dr.Nolan and another doctor walks inside, along with three nurses, as Dr.Nolan tells his staff "Send him to the psychiatric ward." As Zach's strapped to the bed, Jack asks Dr.Nolan "What in the hell is going on?" Dr.Nolan tells Jack "Your Son's being transferred, and his drug rehab can begin. No visitors allowed, so you need to leave." Jack yells "I'm going nowhere." Dr.Nolan warns him "Either leave, or I'll call security to escort you." As Zach screams, the other doctor sedates him, and knocks Zach out, as Jack walks out of the room with anger in his eyes, as he snarls "This has that son of a bitch's name written all over it!" At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo Jr sits in his bedroom, as he tries on one of Nikki's dresses, as Nikki tells her Son "You'll look better in a dress when you get your operation." Lorenzo Jr sighs "I feel comfortable in this Mom." Nikki warns him "If your Father was to see you, I don't think you'd feel that way." At Lena's Loft, Lorenzo smokes a blunt with his Brother In Law, as Tyrone tells him "So you don't notice nothing off with Little L?" Lorenzo takes a toke, and goes "Actually, I do. He's nothing like me." Tyrone tells his Brother In Law "He's gay Lorenzo. Your Son's gay, and he wants to have a sex change." Lorenzo coughs, as his eyes widen, and Tyrone asks "Are you ok?" Lorenzo tells Tyrone "Don't worry about your Sister, I got this shit under control." Lorenzo storms out." Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Barbara sits in the living room, and has a glass of red wine, and reads a book, as the doorbell rings, and Barbara walks up to the door, as Sandi stands on the other side, as she smiles, and goes "Well we meet again Babs." Barbara slaps Sandi, and snaps "What in the hell are you doing here? Didn't I tell you a long damn time ago never to return?" Sandi laughs "I'm still your Daughter In Law, and oh, by the way, you should go see your Granddaughter. She's been through hell." Barbara asks "Granddaughter? What are you talking about?" Sandi tells Barbara "Haley Miller's Matt's Daughter, and he knows, and we're back together so deal with it old lady!" Sandi walks away, as Barbara picks up a small vase, and throws it across the room, as she screams in rage. At Thomas Auto, Matt walks into William's office, as William looks at the envelope, and tells his Nephew "Oh shit Matt. I always had a feeling she was yours." Matt's phone rings, as he answers, and William takes a deep breath, as he hears Barbara scream at her Son "Get your ass over here NOW before I lose my damn temper." Barbara hangs up, and William tells his Nephew "You know where to find me." As Zach's on the elevator, being carried to the Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside's Psychiatric Ward, at Sullivan's River Casino, a limo pulls up, and the driver gets out, and grabs luggage, as he opens the back door, and someone gets out, and hands the driver a tip, as he thanks the person, as they walk into the Hotel, with sunglasses, and a red hat on, as they tell the front desk "The Private Suite upstairs." The Hotel Clerk asks "Are you..." The person takes off the sunglasses, and hands the clerk a roll of $100 bills, and goes "Don't tell anybody I'm here if you know what's best for you."

Loma Vista: Episode 9. Tension
At Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann has the attention of her Husband, Son, and Daughter, as Ann shoots the pistol into the ceiling, and Jack yells at his Wife "Put the damn gun away and give up this act Ann!" J.R. and Jenny glare at their Father, as Ann asks Jack "Do you think this is an act Jackie? It isn't. Next bullet will be on me!" J.R. yells at his Father in anger "I think you need to get the hell out of here. If you want a divorce, you'll be divorcing all of us!" Jack tells his Son "I don't have time for this, and I'm going back to the Hospital to check on Zach." As Jack opens the door to leave, William walks inside, as he sees his Sister shaken, and holding the pistol, and runs to her, as Jack asks his Brother In Law "William did you shoot Zach? I know you have a past with Senior's dirty work. Hell you trained J.R." William and Jenny stands with Ann, as she hands the pistol to her Brother, and J.R. asks "I thought you had something important to do you son of a bitch?" Jack responds "Yeah, and it isn't sitting here watching Ann throw a damn tantrum!" Jack warns William "If you shot Zach, I'll press charges personally." William goes "I hope the bastard dies after the shit he has pulled!" Jack leaves, and Ann tells her family "If he wants a damn divorce, he'll get one, but he won't like it one damn bit." William asks "Going to dry the well Ann?" Ann looks at her children, and tells them "He forgets that I own a percentage of Miller Enterprises, and my name's on the bank accounts, and if he wants to move on, he will be doing so with nothing." William holds his Sister, as Ann cries, and J.R. and Jenny fumes with anger towards their Father.
At Ernest's Kitchen, at Sullivan's River Casino, Nate arrives, as he sits next to Lorenzo Jr, as Lena looks at her Grandson's friend, and is quiet, as the waitress walks over, and asks Lena "What will it be Ms.Houston?" Everyone orders, and Lena tells the waitress "Put it on my tab." Nikki rolls her eyes and goes "Mama, you don't..." Lena, in a sweet tone tells her Daughter "Shut up. I'm paying for lunch." Lena turns her attention towards Lorenzo Jr and Nate, as Lena asks Nate "So where do you work?" Nate responds "Here Ms.Houston. I run the front desk in the Hotel." Lena sighs "Never checked that area out, although I know someone at this table that has." Nikki quips "Maybe that's how I know you Nate." Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother and Grandmother "TMI! TMI!" Lena tells Nate "I think you will need more money if you want a relationship with my Little L." Nate tells her "I'm going to college in the fall." Lena nods in approval, as Lorenzo Jr is quiet, as is Nate, as Lena goes "Well isn't this exciting? So how does a same sex relationship exactly work? Who's the man? Who's the woman?" Nikki looks over at her Mother, as Lorenzo Jr looks at Nate, and Nate responds "I think I would be the male." Lena responds "Figures. Little L is very vane. I think I used him as a test doll too often as a baby, him wearing my wigs. Want to see pictures?" Nate nods, as Lorenzo Jr grows comfortable, and Lena looks at her Grandson, and tells him "Remember who to thank when you make your decision, and I'll buy your first weave." Nikki laughs, and tells her Son "See Junior, I told you my Mama would support you." Lorenzo Jr and Nate look through Lena's photo album, as Lena looks at her Daughter, and tells Nikki "He's happy, and that's all I want." Nikki sees a text on her phone from Lorenzo, and goes "Me too Mama."
Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Matt arrives, as Barbara hugs her Son, and tells him "Takeout should be here shortly." Blake walks downstairs, and Barbara tells her Nephew "I called Sarah and invited her over." Matt looks at his Cousin, and quips "Mama's going to get nosy. She did this with my first Wife." Blake pleads with his Aunt "Please don't embarrass me Aunt Barbara." Barbara assures Blake "I like Sarah. She should be here in a few minutes." As Barbara sets the table, she tells her Son and Nephew "I am worried about y'all's Aunt. Jenny told me she's on the bottle again." Matt asks "Jack spending too much time in Randi's orbit?" Barbara sighs "Ann is so sensitive, and she's been going through a lot lately. Poor thing, I really want to help her, but.." Matt finishes his Mother's sentence, and goes "She'd tell you to stay the hell out of her business." Barbara nods, and adds "William's going to try and help. He's close with Ann." Blake asks his Aunt "So why is Ann so hellbent on attacking Sarah's family? I don't understand it." There's a knock at the door, and Barbara tells Blake "My Sister with whiskey and a mere mention or thought of Randi equals a fight. Runs in the family." As Blake heads to the door, Matt laughs "That was Mamaw Thomas also." Barbara goes "Don't forget me now Matt, I've had my times also." Sarah meanwhile walks inside, as she hugs Blake, and asks "Is that bitch here?" Barbara greets Sarah with a hug, and tells her "Ann isn't here. She doesn't make visits to this house. One more favor, don't call my Sister a bitch in my home sweetie. I understand how you and your family feels about her, but call her bitch outside of my hearing distance." Sarah looks at Blake, as Matt answers the door, as chinese food arrives, and everyone sits, and Barbara tells all "No talk of Ann. Let's enjoy this meal from the Pagoda."
At Thomas Holdings, Haley has left, and Felicia knocks on the door of Lorenzo's office, and opens the door, as he isn't inside, and Felicia leaves some files on her Cousin's desk, as Sayyid walks inside, and Felicia asks him "Where's Lorenzo?" Sayyid responds "I don't know. I left my briefcase here." Sayyid grabs his briefcase, as Felicia warns him "I know what the three of you were likely talking about earlier, and I just want you to know that I will send your ass, and Tyrone's ass back to Lexington if you even try and kill my Brother." Sayyid looks at Felicia, and sighs with an calm, calculated tone "He will kill himself. I pray for the infidel to die for his sins. If I get to do that honor, well as my beloved Sister used to say "Do an old heart some good." Sayyid walks out, as Felicia makes a phone call to Tilly, as she's at Randi's Place, and asks her Sister "Where's Mom?" Tilly tells Felicia "She's shooting pool right now with Mr.Mason. She's currently winning." Felicia rolls her eyes, and quips "Pool shark strikes again." Tilly tells her Sister "It's getting busy, and it's just me doing the work. Talk later." Tilly hangs up, as Felicia bumps into Ben, as he tells Felicia "I just came to your office, you weren't there, and look what I got. Haley Miller's phone number. I'm going to call her." Felicia looks at Ben, and tells him "The last thing she needs right now is you." Ben laughs "I already called, and we're having dinner tonight." Ben heads to his office, as Felicia walks to the elevator, and rolls her eyes with disgust.
Back at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann sits down in the living room, and smokes a cigarette, as William sits by his Sister's side, along with J.R. and Jenny, as Ann tells them "Jackie may think he's going to throw stones, but I got a damn boulder waiting for him." J.R. asks his Mother "Are you ok with a divorce Mama?" Ann looks over at her children, and in a calm tone, with a smirk quips "He loses it all, and he has no idea what I have in store for him." William tells his Niece and Nephew "Jack's always been a smug son of a bitch. Had that "I'm better than you" kind of attitude." Jenny meanwhile asks "Well who shot Zach? I think someone in this room did it." Ann reminds her Daughter "If I'd done it, his ass would be dead." William responds "I know how to kill someone, and with Zach, I'd broke his neck." J.R. sighs "I just stomped his ass into submission." Jenny has a thought, and asks "What if it was Randi?" Ann looks at her Daughter, and William looks at his Niece, as Ann tells Jenny "That will be one hell of a dilemma for Jackie if, or she did." Ann is silent, as a smile comes across her face, and looks around the room, as William tells his Sister "You are plotting." Ann laughs "Oh yes I am Big Brother, she had motive, and she has a temper, and her children are products of her bad parenting. I'm setting their asses up."
At the law office of attorney Luke Mason, Haley walks out of the paralegal's office, as Jack sits in the waiting area, and tells him "I'm divorcing Zach." Jack sighs "Haley, I am sorry that's how it ends." Haley tells her Father In Law "I can't take the shit anymore. I'm done." A woman walks in, as Jack turns, as Haley tells Jack "Meet my Mom, Sandi Newman." Sandi looks Jack up and down, as she asks "Here to get divorce papers?" Jack sighs "Yes I am." Sandi looks at Jack, and tells him "Give that piece of shit Son of yours a message from his Mother In Law, he screwed up, and I am watching." Sandi and Haley walks out, as Jack watches Sandi, as the paralegal tells Jack "Mrs.Miller's already called, and she's filed the papers. Here they are." Jack walks out, as he returns to Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, as he calls Felicia, as she sits inside her office, and answers, as Jack tells his Daughter "Ann and I are filing for divorce." Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena, Nikki, Lorenzo Jr, and Nate walks inside her office, as Tyrone sits inside, and asks his Nephew "Who's the white friend you're holding hands with?" Lena and Nikki both turn to each other, as Lorenzo Jr boldly tells his Uncle "Nate's my boyfriend." Tyrone looks at his Nephew, and snarls "And I disown you. No wonder Lorenzo isn't proud of you. You're gay." Lena slaps her Son, as Lorenzo Jr and Nate walks out, as they grows nervous, as back inside, Nikki warns her Brother "If you give my Son any hell Tyrone Houston, you will answer to me, and if you dare tell Lorenzo, hope your bitch at Lexington hasn't moved on yet!" Nikki also slaps Tyrone, and walks out, as Lena tells her Son "Straighten your ass up." Tyrone quips "I'm already straight, but apparently Nikki corrupted that kid too damn much, a damn sissy." Lena glares at Tyrone, and warns him "He's family boy, and don't you forget THAT!" Meanwhile at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Dr.Nolan's inside Zach's room, as Zach tells him "I swear she was in here and she threatened to kill me." Dr.Nolan tells Zach "I think you are having withdrawals, and hallucinations." Zach screams "I'm serious! She's trying to kill me!" Dr.Nolan tells the nurse "Sedate him." The nurse gives Zach a pill, as she walks out behind Dr.Nolan, as Zach spits out the pill, and looks around the room in a paranoid state, as Lorenzo walks in, and locks the door behind him, as he pulls out his pistol, and Zach is silent, as Lorenzo sticks the pistol inside Zach's mouth, and whispers "Make one move you piece of shit, and your brains will be all over this damn room, and whoever shot you, I'll complete it."
At Ernest's Kitchen, at Sullivan's River Casino, Nate arrives, as he sits next to Lorenzo Jr, as Lena looks at her Grandson's friend, and is quiet, as the waitress walks over, and asks Lena "What will it be Ms.Houston?" Everyone orders, and Lena tells the waitress "Put it on my tab." Nikki rolls her eyes and goes "Mama, you don't..." Lena, in a sweet tone tells her Daughter "Shut up. I'm paying for lunch."

Lena sighs "Never checked that area out, although I know someone at this table that has." Nikki quips "Maybe that's how I know you Nate." Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother and Grandmother "TMI! TMI!" Lena tells Nate "I think you will need more money if you want a relationship with my Little L." Nate tells her "I'm going to college in the fall."

Lorenzo Jr and Nate look through Lena's photo album, as Lena looks at her Daughter, and tells Nikki "He's happy, and that's all I want." Nikki sees a text on her phone from Lorenzo, and goes "Me too Mama."
Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Matt arrives, as Barbara hugs her Son, and tells him "Takeout should be here shortly."

As Blake heads to the door, Matt laughs "That was Mamaw Thomas also." Barbara goes "Don't forget me now Matt, I've had my times also." Sarah meanwhile walks inside, as she hugs Blake, and asks "Is that bitch here?" Barbara greets Sarah with a hug, and tells her "Ann isn't here. She doesn't make visits to this house. One more favor, don't call my Sister a bitch in my home sweetie. I understand how you and your family feels about her, but call her bitch outside of my hearing distance." Sarah looks at Blake, as Matt answers the door, as chinese food arrives, and everyone sits, and Barbara tells all "No talk of Ann. Let's enjoy this meal from the Pagoda."
At Thomas Holdings, Haley has left, and Felicia knocks on the door of Lorenzo's office, and opens the door, as he isn't inside, and Felicia leaves some files on her Cousin's desk, as Sayyid walks inside, and Felicia asks him "Where's Lorenzo?" Sayyid responds "I don't know. I left my briefcase here." Sayyid grabs his briefcase, as Felicia warns him "I know what the three of you were likely talking about earlier, and I just want you to know that I will send your ass, and Tyrone's ass back to Lexington if you even try and kill my Brother." Sayyid looks at Felicia, and sighs with an calm, calculated tone "He will kill himself. I pray for the infidel to die for his sins. If I get to do that honor, well as my beloved Sister used to say "Do an old heart some good." Sayyid walks out, as Felicia makes a phone call to Tilly, as she's at Randi's Place, and asks her Sister "Where's Mom?" Tilly tells Felicia "She's shooting pool right now with Mr.Mason. She's currently winning." Felicia rolls her eyes, and quips "Pool shark strikes again." Tilly tells her Sister "It's getting busy, and it's just me doing the work. Talk later." Tilly hangs up, as Felicia bumps into Ben, as he tells Felicia "I just came to your office, you weren't there, and look what I got. Haley Miller's phone number. I'm going to call her." Felicia looks at Ben, and tells him "The last thing she needs right now is you." Ben laughs "I already called, and we're having dinner tonight." Ben heads to his office, as Felicia walks to the elevator, and rolls her eyes with disgust.
Back at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann sits down in the living room, and smokes a cigarette, as William sits by his Sister's side, along with J.R. and Jenny, as Ann tells them "Jackie may think he's going to throw stones, but I got a damn boulder waiting for him." J.R. asks his Mother "Are you ok with a divorce Mama?" Ann looks over at her children, and in a calm tone, with a smirk quips "He loses it all, and he has no idea what I have in store for him." William tells his Niece and Nephew "Jack's always been a smug son of a bitch. Had that "I'm better than you" kind of attitude." Jenny meanwhile asks "Well who shot Zach? I think someone in this room did it." Ann reminds her Daughter "If I'd done it, his ass would be dead." William responds "I know how to kill someone, and with Zach, I'd broke his neck." J.R. sighs "I just stomped his ass into submission." Jenny has a thought, and asks "What if it was Randi?" Ann looks at her Daughter, and William looks at his Niece, as Ann tells Jenny "That will be one hell of a dilemma for Jackie if, or she did." Ann is silent, as a smile comes across her face, and looks around the room, as William tells his Sister "You are plotting." Ann laughs "Oh yes I am Big Brother, she had motive, and she has a temper, and her children are products of her bad parenting. I'm setting their asses up."
At the law office of attorney Luke Mason, Haley walks out of the paralegal's office, as Jack sits in the waiting area, and tells him "I'm divorcing Zach." Jack sighs "Haley, I am sorry that's how it ends." Haley tells her Father In Law "I can't take the shit anymore. I'm done." A woman walks in, as Jack turns, as Haley tells Jack "Meet my Mom, Sandi Newman." Sandi looks Jack up and down, as she asks "Here to get divorce papers?" Jack sighs "Yes I am." Sandi looks at Jack, and tells him "Give that piece of shit Son of yours a message from his Mother In Law, he screwed up, and I am watching." Sandi and Haley walks out, as Jack watches Sandi, as the paralegal tells Jack "Mrs.Miller's already called, and she's filed the papers. Here they are." Jack walks out, as he returns to Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, as he calls Felicia, as she sits inside her office, and answers, as Jack tells his Daughter "Ann and I are filing for divorce." Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena, Nikki, Lorenzo Jr, and Nate walks inside her office, as Tyrone sits inside, and asks his Nephew "Who's the white friend you're holding hands with?" Lena and Nikki both turn to each other, as Lorenzo Jr boldly tells his Uncle "Nate's my boyfriend." Tyrone looks at his Nephew, and snarls "And I disown you. No wonder Lorenzo isn't proud of you. You're gay." Lena slaps her Son, as Lorenzo Jr and Nate walks out, as they grows nervous, as back inside, Nikki warns her Brother "If you give my Son any hell Tyrone Houston, you will answer to me, and if you dare tell Lorenzo, hope your bitch at Lexington hasn't moved on yet!" Nikki also slaps Tyrone, and walks out, as Lena tells her Son "Straighten your ass up." Tyrone quips "I'm already straight, but apparently Nikki corrupted that kid too damn much, a damn sissy." Lena glares at Tyrone, and warns him "He's family boy, and don't you forget THAT!" Meanwhile at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Dr.Nolan's inside Zach's room, as Zach tells him "I swear she was in here and she threatened to kill me." Dr.Nolan tells Zach "I think you are having withdrawals, and hallucinations." Zach screams "I'm serious! She's trying to kill me!" Dr.Nolan tells the nurse "Sedate him." The nurse gives Zach a pill, as she walks out behind Dr.Nolan, as Zach spits out the pill, and looks around the room in a paranoid state, as Lorenzo walks in, and locks the door behind him, as he pulls out his pistol, and Zach is silent, as Lorenzo sticks the pistol inside Zach's mouth, and whispers "Make one move you piece of shit, and your brains will be all over this damn room, and whoever shot you, I'll complete it."

Loma Vista: Episode 8. Securities
It's the next morning in Loma Vista, and at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Zach sleeps, as Jack is awaken, as his Daughter, Jenny stands inside the room, and Jack hugs his Oldest Daughter, as he tells her "Welcome home. How's things in at the offices in Noland?" Jenny tells her Father "Just fine Dad, now let's have a talk outside." Jack asks his Daughter "Want to speak to Zach? I'll wake him." Jenny glares at her Youngest Brother, as she walks outside, and Jack follows, and tells her "Ann told me you were here last night." Jenny tells her Father "I am seeing something I'm not liking. She's drinking again. She can't handle much. Aunt Elizabeth passing away, to Victor, who was a real Father, to J.R. and I's Grandparents, you need to tend to Mama. She's lonely." Jack tells Jenny, taking a deep breath "She knows how I feel about all my children.." Jenny tells him "Well, I'm going to visit Aunt Barbara, and you just be lucky I have a relationship with you, or J.R." Jenny leaves, and Jack walks into Zach's room, and calls his Wife, as Ann's phone sits in the living room of their Estate, and silence.
At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo Jr walks downstairs, as Nikki's in the living room, and tells her Son "Lorenzo's left for the office. So it's safe to be yourself." Lorenzo Jr breathes a sigh of relief, and sits down, as Nikki tells him "Let's you, me, Nate, and your Grandma have lunch today? It'll be safe, just us. She's open-minded, and I think she can tell anyway, but hasn't changed her attitude." Lorenzo Jr responds in a scared tone "I'm not fond she's with a legendary hitman, and his number one fan's her child, and I'd say favorite." Nikki tells him with frustration "Tyrone's my Brother, and the Houstons are always together." Lorenzo Jr gets his phone to call Nate, and heads to his bedroom, as Nikki sends her Mother a text, and Lena responds from her office at Sullivan's River Casino "I'm ready."
Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Randi, Tilly, and Sarah sits at the bar, as Sarah makes each of them a drink, and Sarah tells her Mother and Grandmother "That was sweet what Lorenzo did for us." Randi tells them "I will always hold him in high regard after his gesture. It was a move of a Duncan, and my Daddy and Mama, and Elizabeth are smiling down right now." Tilly sighs with a smile "He has always been close to us, except for Zach." Sarah asks "Sibling rivalry since they are close in age?" Randi nods, and tells her Granddaughter "And their Grandma would normally antagonize it, she enjoyed it, did it to disturb Daddy. He'd then further spoil them. And Elizabeth, well I won't discuss that." Randi laughs, and Tilly asks her Mother "Speaking of Zach, any word from Daddy on his condition?" Randi goes "He's wake, and sleeping." Sarah shakes her head, and tells them "I will never forgive him for this." Ann walks inside, as she's overheard them for a few moments, and yells "Well I'll be damn if one of Randi's spawns grown brains!" Randi asks Ann in a disgusted tone "What in the hell do you want? You are the last person I want to see. If you shot him.." Ann laughs, as she sits, and tells Sarah "Whiskey." looks at Randi and Tilly, and laughs "You owe me now whores." Tilly angrily yells "What in the hell did you just call me you old withered up bitch?" Ann slaps Tilly across the bar, and Randi yells at Ann "Go someplace else before I have your ass arrested!" Tilly yells at Ann "You are fortunate I have standards." Ann quips "The Randi standards are to seduce men, break up homes, destroy the man's kids, and then raise a piece of shit to rob her Sister's, and her Husbands family." Sarah pours the Whiskey on Ann's fur coat, and Ann slaps Sarah forcefully, and another fight erupts, as Tilly loses her temper, and Randi follows suit, as Tilly pushes Ann, and Ann punches Tilly in the face, and pushes Randi onto a chair, as J.R. and Blake walks inside, as Sarah stands back, and rushes over and breaks up the fight, as J.R. looks at his Cousin, and tells him "Take your Aunt Ann back home." Ann yells "Jackie's back with this whoring damn tramp! And her damn spawns just think they are all that matters. The hell it ain't! Not as long as I am Mrs. Jack Miller!" Blake looks at Sarah, as both sadly take a sigh of sadness, and Blake escorts his Aunt out, as her Son helps. Inside, Tilly screams "I DAMN HATE HER!" Randi sighs with disgust "Hypocritical bitch."
Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, and tells someone on the other line "I love that. Send me the blueprints so I can find a site to build." Felicia walks inside, and hugs her Cousin, as he asks "What was that for?" Felicia responds with pride "Helping my Mom, and my Sister. Thank you." Lorenzo responds "No thanks needed." Felicia asks Lorenzo "What's your plan?" Lorenzo responds "He will pay me for everyone's losses, and then I'll invest it, and share among the ones he screwed over, or he can be dinner for the fish in Lake Pittman. It's his decision." Felicia tells Lorenzo "Don't start thinking like that. There's other ways besides William Thomas Sr's methods of payment." Lorenzo looks at Felicia, and screams "My Mother is DEAD! And that sorry ass Brother of yours extorted her, and he will regret it with each breathe the bastard takes! I don't give a shit about him, and I wish he was dead." Felicia is shocked, and notices the seriousness in her Cousin's eyes, and calmly reminds Lorenzo "He will live with it. Please don't go after him. For my Mom?" Lorenzo asks Felicia "Aren't you supposed to be meeting with Ben over those new Duncan's locations for our expansion?" Felicia walks out, shaking her head, as Lorenzo sits back, and says to himself "Whoever shot him, I want to thank in person." Felicia meanwhile stands at the elevator, as Ben walks up, and tells Felicia "Hate to hear about Zach." Felicia sighs "Yeah." The doors to the elevator opens, as Sayyid and Tyrone walks off, and Felicia has a look of fear in her eyes, as she watches Sayyid and Tyrone walk inside Lorenzo's office.
Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Jenny catches up with her Aunt, as they discuss Ann, and Barbara tells Jenny "Ann has always been that way. And she's not going to change, and has never gotten over Jack's affair with Randi." Jenny goes "Hell, Mama won! But she is killing herself worrying about Dad and Randi being together, and with that Bastard she had in the hospital, and Dad's not even noticing anything off with her." Barbara looks at Jenny, and tells her Niece "Sweetie, I think the man she really loved, was Victor. Jack was just her Plan B." Jenny sighs "She did go crazy when Victor was murdered." Barbara sits back, as she drinks coffee, and tells Jenny "I really don't keep in great touch with Ann. If you want more answers, talk to William. The one who'd really be able to help isn't here." Jenny sighs with sadness "Aunt Elizabeth and Mama were close." Barbara nods, and tells Jenny with sadness "Elizabeth was the only person Ann confided in. They were Sisters. Her death has hit Ann very hard as well." Jenny gets a text from her Brother, as Jenny looks at her Aunt, and tells her "Mama's just gotten into another brawl with Randi, and Tilly and Sarah were involved. Before I leave, could I ask you something?" Barbara nods, and Jenny pleads to her Aunt with urgency "You are the oldest of Mama's siblings. Could you try to talk to her, and help her?" Barbara hugs her Niece, and tells her with defeat in her voice "Ann's never listened to me, and she never will. You and J.R. will have to be the two to do the work, but I am here." Jenny leaves for Jack and Ann's Estate, as Barbara grows concern, and calls William, who sits in his office at the Thomas Auto Headquarters, as Barbara tells her Brother "We're going to have to help Ann before she destroys herself. Jenny just came by and..." William takes a deep breath, and tells his Sister "I'll try to talk to Jack." Barbara tells him "That's her problem. Jack."
Back at Randi's Place, Randi, Tilly, and Sarah stands behind the bar, as customers arrive, and Tilly puts an ice pack on her face, as Sarah asks her Mother "How's your eye Mom?" Randi sighs with disgust "Ann has it coming. Today was it! I plan to handle her ass, and put her in her place!" Sarah looks at her Grandmother, and tells her "Please just relax. Remember karma?" Randi goes "Sometimes you have to play the role Sarah, and I intend to do that. She just crossed the line." Tilly tells them "Dad knows, and he's on his way home. Apparently J.R. and Jenny are worried she's losing it." Randi quips "She already has! The day I walked in on her seducing Jack after Victor's murder!" Sarah asks "Wasn't Grandpa and Ann together first.." Randi looks at Sarah, and boldly tells her Granddaughter "I don't give a damn about ancient history. Nobody hits my children unless it's me!" Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, J.R. walks into the living room, as Ann stands at the bar, and pours a glass of whiskey, and J.R. tells his Mother "Put the bottle down Mama. Dad's on his way here, and so is Jenny. Let's work this all out. He's not sleeping with Randi. But he does piss me off with his loyalty to Zach." Ann yells at her Son "Jack Miller Jr, if you believe the bullshit, then you are a real dumbass!" J.R. warns his Mother, as Ann takes a drink "Put down the glass." Ann takes another drink, and J.R. throws the whiskey bottle across the living room, as he yells "STOP MAMA!"

Lena is silent, as Nikki holds her Son's hand, and Lena touches Lorenzo Jr's face, and tells him "You are my Grandbaby. Somebody has to keep you in check since Elizabeth isn't here to do it." At Thomas Holdings, Haley arrives inside Felicia's office, as Felicia and Ben are looking over the plans for a new store concept for Duncan's, as Felicia asks her Sister In Law "Are you ready to visit Zach?" Haley tells Felicia "I think I'm going to need Luke Mason's help with a divorce. I've had enough of it." Felicia looks over at Ben, as he goes "Well Haley, call me.." Felicia yells at Ben "Go to your damn office you horny bastard!" Ben walks out, as Felicia asks Haley "I thought you were giving him another chance?" Haley sighs "I've had it Felicia. I'm not going to take his abuse, or anybody else's." Felicia hugs Haley, and tells her "If you want to divorce my Brother, you have my support." Upstairs, inside Lorenzo's office, Lorenzo and Tyrone smokes a blunt together, as Sayyid looks out of the window, and tells them "Zach has many people going after him. Nothing would surprise me. I know I didn't shoot him, though he needed it." Lorenzo looks at his Brother In Law, as Tyrone passes the blunt to him, and Lorenzo takes a deep toke, and tells Tyrone and Sayyid in a calm tone "If he doesn't pay me. He will die." Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, Jenny returns, as Jack asks his Wife, as J.R., and Jenny stands by their Mother, as Ann is crying "Did you shoot Zach? If you did Ann, we're over. This is the last straw." Ann looks at her Husband, and walks up to him slowly, and tells him "What if I did Jackie? What if I did shoot him? If I did, he'd already be in a coffin." Jack grows furious, as he yells "I can't take this anymore. Either accept things, or we're done damnit!" J.R. yells at his Father "Don't yell at my Mama!" Jack yells at his Son "Your Brother was beaten by you, and the thugs that helped you. I'm sick of the shit! I want a divorce." Jenny tells her Father "If you do this, forget me, and my children." Ann walks over to the cabinet, and pulls out a pistol, and tells Jack, as Jenny and J.R. grow scared "If you want me gone Jackie, just say the word." Jack is silent, as Ann holds the pistol, and tells her children in a slurred tone "You heard him. He wants me gone." Jack watches his Wife, as Ann aims the gun at herself, and sighs "Where better than where my broken heart beats." J.R. and Jenny glare at their Father, as Ann turns off the safety, and a shot's fired!

Sarah goes "Grandpa, Mom, and Aunt Felicia's inside." Randi sits down, as she tells Sarah in a confused tone "I want to go in there and feel bad for him, but I can't do that. He deserved what he got after that shit he pulled on us. And poor Haley, she's such a sweet girl, and my Son did everything to her that was undeserved. My Daddy never hit my Mother, and neither Jack, or Clint ever hit me. Sarah, I am ashamed of him." Sarah looks at her Grandmother, as a Doctor walks by, and whispers "Go in there Grandma." Randi hugs Sarah, and walks inside, as Dr. Martin Nolan looks around the room, and asks Zach's family "Where's Mrs.Miller?" Felicia and Tilly responds "Us?" Dr.Nolan shakes his head, and tells them "His Wife." Felicia tells him "She's at my home. She couldn't come down here." Dr.Nolan reads the chart, and quips "I could see why. I think if he wanted to get high he should have stuck to the cannabis." Jack yells "Who cares! How's my Son?" Randi is silent, as she's comforted by her Daughters, and doesn't look at Zach, as he's unconcious, and Dr.Nolan tells everyone "He has a concussion, and he's lost a lot of blood. We need to prep him for surgery, and remove the bullet. He's damn lucky." Dr.Nolan walks out, as Jack, Felicia, and Tilly, walks over to Zach, and sadness shows in their eyes, as Tilly asks "Who shot him?" Jack tells his Daughters "I don't know girls. But we'll find out." Randi meanwhile walks out of the room, shaken, and full of emotions, as Sarah sits in the waiting area, and Randi tells her Granddaughter "He's having surgery, and I'm going to finish packing my things at the bar thanks to that bastard." Randi stands at the elevator, as Jack, Felicia, and Tilly walks out of Zach's room, and yells for her, and Randi ignores them, as she gets on the elevator, and Tilly warns her family "I hate this for Zach, but he has broken Mom I fear." Jack takes a deep breath, as he hugs Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah, and tells them "This is too much for Miranda. Elizabeth, and seeing Zach.." Sarah sighs "She said she feels he deserved it." Jack responds "In a way, he did Sarah. He did."
At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki sits in the living room, with Lorenzo Jr and Nate, as Nikki tells her Son "Now three people know the truth Junior." Nate laughs at Lorenzo Jr "I may start calling you that." Lorenzo Jr rolls his eyes, as he asks his Mother "And how do you feel about this Mom?" Nikki looks at her Son, and tells him "I've known for awhile. But what's with the makeup and all that sort of stuff?" Lorenzo goes "What's the problem with a man wearing makeup Mom?" Nikki tells Nate "Nice to meet you, but I want to talk to my Son. We'll meet again." Lorenzo Jr grows nervous, as Nate looks at Lorenzo Jr, and leaves, as Nikki tells her Son "I know you are gay Junior. I've also been keeping up with you on FaceSpace also, and have you considered how your Daddy's going to react if he finds out." Lorenzo Jr asks his Mother "Are you going to out me?" Nikki tells her Son in a gentle tone "Elizabeth told me your secret Junior. And you are my little boy no matter what happens, or what your Daddy will think, nor anyone else. Just know this, the odds for you are going to be harder than you think." Lorenzo Jr looks at his Mother, and asks "What if I want to be a girl?" Nikki asks "And? If you want to be a girl, then I'll have another Daughter, but don't use LaNikki, that name sounds like a stripper's name." Lorenzo Jr holds his Mother's hand, and tells her with tears "I want to become a woman. I don't like being a man, and I've always felt this way." Nikki looks at Lorenzo Jr, and wipes his tears, and assures him "I will support you. But you'll have to be patient with me before we tell Lorenzo." Lorenzo Jr sighs "He'll hate me. He may kill me.." Nikki sighs "Stop that talk. Remember who he fears? Me." Nikki tells her Son "Go upstairs, and let me figure this out, and how we'll break this to him." Lorenzo Jr hugs his Mother, and Nikki tells him "I love you, no matter who you are, and you'll always be my child." Lorenzo Jr goes to his bedroom, as Nikki sits on the couch, and says to herself "Oh hell's about to break loose. I can feel it." Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office at gets off the phone, as he looks at his Mother's photo on his desk "That son of a bitch's going to be paying for the rest of his life." Lorenzo turns out the lights, as he leaves.
Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann and Jenny sit together and catch up, as J.R. arrives and J.R. sees his Sister, and hugs her, as Ann looks at her children, and tells them "My babies are here with Mama. Only if your Daddy would get out of the whore's orbit and come to see his first two children." J.R. asks his Mother "He didn't call you?" Ann asks "Why would he call me if he's been in Randi's orbit? Those three brats are likely holding him hostage, and trying to reunite him with the slut of Loma Vista." Jenny sighs "Mama, I see your stance towards Randi hasn't changed." Ann, who's got a buzz, pours a glass of whiskey, and yells "Why hell yes I do hate that bitch! When she was old enough to drive, she destroyed my damn marriage! I don't forget, and I never forgive! Unless my blood's running through you." J.R. tells his Mother "Zach was shot, and in surgery. Dad found him after the beating." Jenny asks her Mother "So I see little's changed?" Ann pulls out some glasses, and asks "And who wants to celebrate this occasion?" J.R. asks his Mother "Did you lose your temper and shoot Zach?" Ann snaps at her Son "Hell no! Let his cocaine man do that job. And Jackie best not be trying to bed Randi over this!" J.R. tells his Mother "Well Mama, she's not happy with him at all, and actually left the hospital." Ann's eyes widen, as she laughs "Your shittin me? She left the little bastard? Wow." Jenny tells her Brother "Mama wouldn't hurt anybody." Jenny looks at Ann, as Ann sighs "I make exceptions Jenny." Jenny looks at her Brother, as there's a knock at the door, and Ann tells Jenny "Answer the door." Jenny answers, as it's William, and William hugs his Niece, and asks 'When did you arrive in town?" Jenny tells her Uncle "When Mama called me. I'm sorry about Aunt Elizabeth. I can't believe what Zach did to her, and his family." Ann slurs "Want a drink William? I'm having a toast in honor of Zach Miller's possible demise. Someone shot that piece of shit." William isn't shocked, and responds "He's pissed a lot of people off. Had it coming." Ann asks her Brother "Did you turn into Daddy and shoot him?" William goes "I didn't. Did you Ann?" J.R. and Jenny stands back, as Jenny asks her Brother "So Mama and Uncle William are still spatting after all these years?" J.R. quips "You should see her with Aunt Barbara." Jenny laughs, as William sits down, and Jenny and her Uncle begins to catch up, as Ann sends Jack a text, texting "Jenny's here." Ann's text goes unanswered, as Ann lights a cigarette, and fumes.
At Barbara's Home, Barbara sits in her den, as she has a glass of red wine, as Matt and Blake sits on the couch, and Matt asks his Mother "Are you heading over to see Jenny?" Barbara quips "I've been around Ann enough for one day. I'll be seeing her soon." Matt tells his Mother "Well I'm heading home. Been a long day." Barbara hugs her Son, as Matt leaves, and Blake gets a text from Sarah, and tells his Aunt "Zach's been scheduled for surgery." Barbara goes "Surgery? I thought Matt, J.R., Lena's Son, and that Sayyid Ross just delivered a beating?" Blake tells her "Someone shot him." Barbara looks at her Nephew, and asks him "Do you want to go be with Sarah?" Blake is quiet, as he tells her "I hate hospitals." Barbara whispers "It'd be nice for Sarah to see you right now." Blake tells his Aunt "Well if you say so." Barbara tells Blake "Offer my well wishes to Jack and Randi, and Felicia and Tilly for me." Blake nods, as he leaves, and Barbara's phone rings, as it's the youngest of the Thomas siblings, Scarlet, who lives in the Southeast, and Scarlet asks her Sister "How's Blake doing? I heard he's now in the business, and I'm not very damn happy about it!" Barbara assures her Sister "He's in love." Scarlet asks "Really? With who?" Barbara goes "Randi Camden's Granddaughter." Scarlet sighs "Oh shit!" Scarlet hangs up, as Barbara has a look of dread in her eyes, as she has a flashback, and says to herself "I shouldn't had told her." Barbara heads to her bedroom, as she calls it a night.
Back at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Jack, Felicia, and Tilly are inside Zach's room, as the nurses carry him to the operating room, as Jack looks at his Daughters, and tells them "One of you need to be with Miranda. She needs one of you right now." Felicia texts Haley, and doesn't get a response, as Felicia tells them "I hope she's resting. Poor girl's been through hell." Sarah meanwhile walks inside, as she asks "What did the doctor tell you?" Tilly tells her Daughter "He's got a concussion, and as his doctor said to us, damn lucky to be breathing after being shot?" Jack asks Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah "So which one of you are going to check on Miranda? I'll stay here and keep you updated." Felicia turns to Tilly and Sarah, as Sarah tells them "She's at the bar packing up." Felicia tells them "I want to check on Haley, and I'll keep my phone on." Jack quips "And that would be a first." Tilly tells Sarah "Let's go down to the bar, and help Mom." Jack hugs his Daughter, and Granddaughter, as Tilly and Sarah walks out, and heads to Randi's Place. Felicia looks at her Father, as she notices him getting emotional, and asks "Would you like it if I stayed with you? You don't need to be by yourself." Jack holds his Daughter tightly, as he cries "Where did I mess up Felicia?" Felicia says to herself in her mind "Reuniting with Ann." Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Randi packs up her personal belongings, and comes across a photo of a photo of Zach, and angrily walks out, onto the marina, and throws the picture into Lake Pittman, and screams with rage, as she walks back inside, as the President of Loma Vista National Bank stands inside, and Randi angrily asks "And what in the hell do you want? Tell me I can't take my things?" The President tells her "I'm meeting the new owner, and since you're here, perfect timing." Randi asks "Who is it?" The President goes "I can't say, just that they want you here. Fix us a drink." Randi asks "I thought I couldn't?" The President of Loma Vista National Bank tells Randi "It's alright Ms.Camden. Randi walks behind the bar, and pulls out a few beers, as they await the new owner.
At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lena arrives, as Nikki sits in the living room, and Nikki asks her Mother "Where's Sayyid and Tyrone?" Lena quips "You told me not to bring them Nicole. What's up?" Nikki motions her Mother to the couch, as Lena tells her Daughter "I was about to have a great evening planned before your call, so stop being shy." Nikki tells her Mother "I'm not being shy Mama. I needed to talk to you, and don't say a damn word to anybody and I mean it!" Lena asks "What's wrong baby girl? Lorenzo? Little L? Are you sleeping around? Lorenzo.." Nikki sighs "No! But the second name is the subject." Lena goes "He confessed didn't he?" Nikki tells her Mother "Lorenzo Jr's got some issues." Lena goes "No shit. He's gay." Nikki tells her Mother "Not just that, he wants to become a woman." Lena's eyes widen, as she's blown away, and asks her Daughter in a serious tone "Do you approve?" Nikki tells her "He's my Son Mama. This has been bothering him, and he told Lizzie, and Elizabeth was the one who told me in our last conversation. He's going to need support, and I plan to be there for him." Lena tells Nikki, holding her hand "In my day, these things were taboo. I was raised to not support this." Nikki tells her Mother "He's your Grandson, and he'll need you! When Lorenzo learns of this, he'll lose his mind." Lena quips "I think you've lost yours Nicole. Hook him up with a black girl, a hot black girl, matter of fact, I'll give him a room at the Casino Hotel, and he and her can sex it up." Nikki takes her Mother into the kitchen, and snaps "He's already in love, and I need support myself Mama! And you always told me not to turn my back on family. Like when your Mother walked out on you." Lena warns Nikki "Don't take me down that road." Nikki tells her "I am having a hard time accepting it, but I still support him. He's my Son." Lena looks at Nikki, and sighs "You're right. And I will keep this to myself, and support him. The mere thought just.." Nikki hugs her Mother, as Lena tells her Daughter in a gentle tone "Little L will have my support, and just give me some time to process this. But don't say nothing to Tyrone and Sayyid. Tyrone will flip, and Sayyid's a muslim, and.." Nikki quips "And do you know if you marry a muslim, you have to convert.." Lena quickly tells Nikki "We've already made vows not to marry. We just want to be with each other, and he's excellent in bed." Nikki tells her Mother "Go home and get busy." Lena hugs her Daughter, and tells her "Let's have lunch tomorrow at the Casino, and bring my Grandson." Lena leaves, as Nikki gets a text from Lorenzo, and reads it, and heads upstairs for the evening, as she says to herself "I pray he doesn't find out unless it comes from me."
As night's fallen, at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Jack and Felicia sits inside the waiting area, as Dr.Nolan walks inside, and tells them "The surgery was successful, and he's asleep now. But I'm expecting a full recovery, but he could have some amnesia due to the concussion." Jack asks Dr.Nolan "Amnesia?" Dr.Nolan nods, and asks "So I see where you were planning to have him go into rehab?" Felicia nods, and Dr.Nolan tells them "I know of a place in Adam's Landing that'd be perfect. The Allan James rehab clinic. Founded by the woman who taught me everything I know in medicine." Jack asks "Dr.Beth Jackson?" Dr.Nolan sighs with sadness "One incredible Doctor. The best." Felicia tells Dr.Nolan "My Aunt was seeing her, and then stopped, but never gave any explanation." Dr.Nolan sighs "Dr.Jackson passed away a month ago. May explain some of it." Felicia tells him "Aunt Elizabeth and her became friends." Dr.Nolan smiles "A good woman as long as you didn't make her angry,or she'd tear you to shreds. She was dedicated to her craft. Well I'm going home, and here's my number if you have any questions." Dr.Nolan hands Felicia his card, as he leaves, and Felicia looks at her Father, as she asks him "Do you want to go home Daddy?" Jack tells his Daughter "I think I will stay here. You go look after Haley." Felicia hugs her Father, as she heads home for the night, as Jack cries for his Son, and says to himself " I think it's time to make some changes."
Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann, Jenny, and William talk, as Jenny asks "Where's Daddy?" William tells his Niece "Most likely at the Hospital." Ann slurs "He's likely keeping Randi's bed warm. Damn whore." Ann asks William "Care to go check things out and be my mole?" William tells Ann "Go to bed, and stay here! Hell if you get out on the road, they'll give your ass a DUI after all that whiskey!" Jenny tells her Mother "Listen to Uncle William Mama." Ann hugs her Daughter, and tells her Brother "Well I have the aspirin on the nightstand. I'll pay the bastard a go to hell visit in the morning." Ann heads to her bedroom, as Jenny looks at her Uncle, and tells him "I'm worried about Mama. Does she drink like this often?" William responds "Only if Jack and Randi are together. We both know how she works." Jenny looks towards her Mother and Father's bedroom, with sadness in her eyes, as she texts J.R., and tells her Brother "Dad needs to make a decision once and for all." J.R., at his home down the street, responds "Hell yes he does!" At The BlueBird Manor, Haley sits inside the living room, with an ice-pack to her face, as she gets a text, that reads "I'm in town. Meet me tomorrow." Haley has a thought, and heads to the room she's staying in, as she's staying with Felicia. Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Tilly arrives, as Randi sits inside with the President of Loma Vista National Bank, and Randi asks her Daughter "And how is he?" Tilly responds "He survived surgery, and Dr.Hottie informed her and Daddy of a good place to send him to clean up." Randi asks "And where's Sarah?" Tilly goes "Back home, Blake's with her." Randi is silent, as she hands Tilly a beer, and tells her "The new owner should be here any moment." Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Sarah and Blake lays on her bed, as he asks her "Have you ever made love before?" Sarah goes "No." Blake responds "Neither have I. And nobody's here."

Back at Randi's Place, The President of Loma Vista National Bank hangs up the phone, and tells Randi and Tilly "The new owner's here." Lorenzo walks inside, along with Ben, as Randi and Tilly are floored, and Lorenzo hugs his Aunt, and Cousin, and tells them "Here's your deed, and there's only one stipulation in there, which should be alright with both of you." Randi and Tilly reads on, and Randi hugs her Nephew with tears in her eyes, and asks him "Do I owe you anything? I'd never expected this from you." Lorenzo looks at Randi, and Tilly, as he tells them "I've restored both of your bank accounts, and Zach now owes me." Tilly asks her Cousin "And exactly what do you mean by that Lorenzo?" Lorenzo tells them "He'll be paying all of us back for what he's done. And Ben will be monitoring things for me." Randi and Tilly hugs their Nephew, as Lorenzo tells his Aunt "Don't worry about a thing Aunt Randi." Randi cries "Thank you so much. Thank you." Tilly hugs Lorenzo, and tells him "You are a good man. Just like our Papaw." Lorenzo smiles "Family takes care of family Tilly. It's how it works." Lorenzo, Ben, and The President of Loma Vista National Bank heads out, as Randi and Tilly hugs each other, as tears of joy stream from their eyes.

Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann, Jenny, and William talk, as Jenny asks "Where's Daddy?" William tells his Niece "Most likely at the Hospital." Ann slurs "He's likely keeping Randi's bed warm. Damn whore." Ann asks William "Care to go check things out and be my mole?" William tells Ann "Go to bed, and stay here! Hell if you get out on the road, they'll give your ass a DUI after all that whiskey!" Jenny tells her Mother "Listen to Uncle William Mama." Ann hugs her Daughter, and tells her Brother "Well I have the aspirin on the nightstand. I'll pay the bastard a go to hell visit in the morning." Ann heads to her bedroom, as Jenny looks at her Uncle, and tells him "I'm worried about Mama. Does she drink like this often?" William responds "Only if Jack and Randi are together. We both know how she works." Jenny looks towards her Mother and Father's bedroom, with sadness in her eyes, as she texts J.R., and tells her Brother "Dad needs to make a decision once and for all." J.R., at his home down the street, responds "Hell yes he does!" At The BlueBird Manor, Haley sits inside the living room, with an ice-pack to her face, as she gets a text, that reads "I'm in town. Meet me tomorrow." Haley has a thought, and heads to the room she's staying in, as she's staying with Felicia. Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Tilly arrives, as Randi sits inside with the President of Loma Vista National Bank, and Randi asks her Daughter "And how is he?" Tilly responds "He survived surgery, and Dr.Hottie informed her and Daddy of a good place to send him to clean up." Randi asks "And where's Sarah?" Tilly goes "Back home, Blake's with her." Randi is silent, as she hands Tilly a beer, and tells her "The new owner should be here any moment." Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Sarah and Blake lays on her bed, as he asks her "Have you ever made love before?" Sarah goes "No." Blake responds "Neither have I. And nobody's here." Sarah looks at Blake, and they look at each other, as Blake begins to undress Sarah, and Blake gets a text from Barbara, and Sarah tells Blake "Let's wait before going all the way." Blake sighs "Ok." Back at Randi's Place, The President of Loma Vista National Bank hangs up the phone, and tells Randi and Tilly "The new owner's here." Lorenzo walks inside, along with Ben, as Randi and Tilly are floored, and Lorenzo hugs his Aunt, and Cousin, and tells them "Here's your deed, and there's only one stipulation in there, which should be alright with both of you." Randi and Tilly reads on, and Randi hugs her Nephew with tears in her eyes, and asks him "Do I owe you anything? I'd never expected this from you." Lorenzo looks at Randi, and Tilly, as he tells them "I've restored both of your bank accounts, and Zach now owes me." Tilly asks her Cousin "And exactly what do you mean by that Lorenzo?" Lorenzo tells them "He'll be paying all of us back for what he's done. And Ben will be monitoring things for me." Randi and Tilly hugs their Nephew, as Lorenzo tells his Aunt "Don't worry about a thing Aunt Randi." Randi cries "Thank you so much. Thank you." Tilly hugs Lorenzo, and tells him "You are a good man. Just like our Papaw." Lorenzo smiles "Family takes care of family Tilly. It's how it works." Lorenzo, Ben, and The President of Loma Vista National Bank heads out, as Randi and Tilly hugs each other, as tears of joy stream from their eyes.

Loma Vista: Episode 6. The First Strike
At Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo, Nikki, Lena, Barbara, Ann, and William sits inside the private lounge, as they talk quietly, with a sense of calm, as each has their phones on their laps. Lorenzo tells his family "I would love to have them bring Zach into my office, and I'd kick him in the face, no I'd murder him." Barbara sighs with relief "I am just scared thinking of what's going on, with that man." Ann responds "I like him, and he seems honest." William agrees, as Lorenzo tells his Wife, Father, Aunts, and Mother In Law "He's been hired to do the dirty work. He's a legend, and he has quite the history, he mentioned he's looking at writing his life story." Nikki tells her Mother "I like him. Go for it." Lena hugs her Daughter, as she tells her in a peaceful tone "Thank you baby girl." At Zach and Haley's home, Zach, Haley, Jack, Randi, Felicia, Tilly, Sarah, and the Interventionist ducks in fear, a few seconds later Zach, and everyone gets up slowly, after Sayyid's warning shot." Randi speaks in a scary tone "I think Lorenzo's family has ordered your death." The door opens, as Sayyid, Matt, J.R. and Tyrone walk inside, and Sayyid fires another shot into the ceiling, and tells his Nephew "Get him." Sayyid orders Matt and J.R. "Hold him on the ground." Sayyid asks Zach "So where's that money you owe me for the coke white boy? You are quiet. You know what happens to little punk asses like you." Sayyid jumps on Zach's back, and punches him in the head, as Haley, Randi, Jack, Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah, all watch helplessly as Zach is kicked and stomped by Sayyid, J.R., Matt, and Tyrone, as Blake walks inside, and Sarah looks for him, with sadness.
At The Gallery, Lorenzo Jr sits in a corner, as some walks up to him, and goes "Surprise." Lorenzo Jr sees his friend, Nate Easton, as he hugs him tightly, and Nate asks his friend "So you're serious about telling them?" Lorenzo sighs "I do, but scared." Nate tells him "I'll have your back." Lorenzo Jr looks at Nate, and smiles, as he tells him "I also have to get my trust fund too." Nate asks "How will you do that?" Lorenzo Jr sighs "I don't know, but maybe my family will help. Mom and Daddy." Nate sighs "Lorenzo Thomas Jr, you are the Son of the most powerful man in Loma Vista, and his namesake, do you think honestly he will accept you?" Lorenzo Jr responds with fear "Yes. He wants me to be a man, and do as he and his family does. I don't want to kill anything, and I am ready to be happy." Nate looks at Lorenzo Jr, and grabs his hand, and holds it, and tells him "It'll happen Lorenzo, or I mean LaNikki." Lorenzo Jr laughs "Names are still under consideration at this point."
Back at Zach and Haley's home, Sayyid yells at Zach's family "Don't be freaking out! Zach owes me money for his habit. He's been fronted, and hasn't paid up, this is what will happen to one that screws me over." Zach's held up by Matt, and J.R. and yells at his family, as Jack, Randi, Haley, Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah watch on in horror, and Felicia sighs to her Brother "I don't feel sorry for you. This is what happens." The Interventionist meanwhile has left, and Jack tells Sayyid "Let us deal with him. He's my Son." Sayyid knees Zach in the stomach, and snarls hatefully "You hear Daddy? Do you? Look at your family you piece of shit!" Blood drops from Zach's mouth, as he is silent, and Sayyid tells Zach's family "This is a warning, next time, he won't see it coming." Matt, J.R., and Tyrone drops Zach to the floor, and stomps him, as does Sayyid, and they walk out, with AK-47s in hand, as they leave, and Jack tells his Son "It's Rehab or jail Zach." Zach pulls out his pistol and snarls at his family, as Randi screams "If you don't leave my house right now, I will kill you. I have no problems with it with all you cost me." Felicia screams at her Brother with anger in her eyes "Cost you? No Zach, you hurt all the people that loves you, and you have a choice, it's us, or cocaine, and mark my words, if our Mom has any problems with this knowing she's in mourning, and thanks to the shit you've pulled, heartbroken!" Randi looks around the room, as she's comforted by Haley, Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah, and Jack tells his Son "Let's go!" Zach shoots the pistol in the air, and everyone walks out, as Zach screams "Screw all of you! I win! Ha!" Outside, Jack looks at his Ex-Wife, and Daughters, Daughter In Law, and Granddaughter, as Blake stands next to Sarah, as he tells them "Let him hit rock bottom, meanwhile everyone will get back what's rightfully theirs." All agree, and Haley's invited by Jack to stay with him, with Haley declines, and Felicia offers her a room, which Haley accepts, as Randi vows to everyone "I do know one thing, he will never be able to gain back my love after this. I disown the damn thief." Tilly sides with her Mother, as does Sarah, while Jack tells everyone with urgency "This is the only way to save him." They agree to disagree, yet all agree to set charges. And they head off, as Zach stands in his living room, and makes a phone call.
At Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo, Nikki, and Lena remain, as everyone else has left, and Sayyid walks inside, with Tyrone, who's hugged by his Mother and Sister, as Lorenzo tells Sayyid "Excellent work." Sayyid laughs "His ass didn't know what got him, but he's woke the hell up." Tyrone beams with joy "That felt great!" Lena warns her Son "What did I tell you on the way back from Lexington?" Tyrone holds his Mom, as Nikki tells them "Elizabeth was the sweetest woman I knew besides my Mom, and it's a shame her own damn nephew would try to steal from her after she died." Lorenzo sits, as he's silent, and Nikki looks at her Husband, and tells him, as he stares into space "What are you thinking about Lorenzo? I know that look." Lorenzo gets up, and hugs his Wife, and Mother In Law, as he tells everyone "I need to head over to the tower and look over some work. I'll see you home baby." Lorenzo leaves, as Lena tells her Daughter "Why am I getting the feeling he's not going to Bannister Tower?" Nikki tells everyone "When he just leaves like this, that means one thing. He's about to visit Zach." Sayyid quips "His weak ass won't be able to accept visitors after the beating he just got." Nikki responds "I think he's looking for more." Nikki heads home, as Lena, Tyrone, and Sayyid sit inside Lena's office, as she asks them "Who's up for the buffet?"
Meanwhile William has returned to Thomas Auto, as Matt and J.R. walks inside William's office, as William explodes at his Nephews "I want that son of a bitch dead! I am really tempted to go over there, and introduce him to my rifle." Matt and J.R. reassures their Uncle "If he makes another mistake, he'll be dead." William sits, and coldly tells them "He deserves to be dead after the shit's he done to my family, and if Elizabeth was here, she'd killed him cold." Matt goes "Aunt Elizabeth wouldn't ever kill anyone Uncle William." William asks "Are you so positive? She slept with two butcher knives under her mattress, and had a collection of pistols. William shares a story with Matt and J.R., as they are all stunned, as William tells them "Elizabeth was the one person who scared me besides my Mama. Elizabeth had her ways about her when she was screwed over. That's why she and Ann got along so well, the two of them thought alike, but Elizabeth was a better actress."
At Randi's Mansion, Randi, Tilly, and Sarah, are inside the living room, as Blake looks out of the window, with pistol in hand, as Sarah tells him "I don't think he will be around here Blake. Put the gun away." Randi yells with rage "If he comes by here, I'm going to take him out. Mother's insurance." Tilly walks over to her Mother, and holds her, as Randi's distraught, and cries "I feel blindsided. My little boy, who would destroy the people who loves him for his own benefits. What did I do wrong? Did I make a mistake meeting Clint?" Tilly, and Sarah comforts her, as Blake yells "Aunt Barbara's pulled up." Randi, Tilly, and Sarah are silent, as the doorbell rings, and Blake open the door, as Barbara hugs her Nephew, and turns to Sarah, and smiles "So you are the girl I've heard so much about?" Blake sighs with shyness "Aunt Barbara." Randi asks Barbara "So were you involved with Zach's beating?" Barbara walks over to Randi, and tells her "After what he did, he had it coming." Randi wipes the tears from her eyes, as she looks at Barbara, as Randi goes "I never liked the dark side of the Thomas family, but my Son earned what happened. I have always believed in karma." Barbara hugs Randi, and tells her "If you need us, don't hesitate to reach out Randi." Tilly tells Barbara "I wish Ann could have been more like you." Barbara sighs "Ann lives on a cloud, with a throne in the middle made of diamonds, and I prefer standing on the ground myself." Everyone laughs briefly, as Barbara walks over to Sarah, and tells her in a gentle tone "Let's have dinner sometime. I'd love to get to know you, and I am a partial vegan myself, so nothing to worry about." Blake rolls his eyes, as Sarah accepts, and Barbara tells Blake, with pride "You have a good eye for finding a good woman. She's a keeper." Barbara heads home, as Sarah asks Blake "I thought you said she didn't like me." Blake sighs with shyness "With my unpredictable family, you never know what you'll get." For a moment, the mood lightens inside Randi's Mansion.
At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo Jr and Nate sits on the couch, as Nate holds Lorenzo Jr, as Nate asks "When are your parents returning?" Lorenzo Jr looks at Nate, and holds his hand, and tells him "I don't really care. You're here." Lorenzo Jr and Nate looks at each other in the eyes deeply, and their lips touch, as they kiss, and the door opens, as Lorenzo Jr and Nate pulls away from each other, as Nikki stands at the door, in silence over what she has seen. At The BlueBird Manor, Haley sits inside the den, as Felicia returns, and tells her Sister In Law "I went to get my work to bring home." Haley hugs her Sister In Law, and cries, as she tells Felicia "I don't know what happened with him." Felicia sighs with sadness "He's got a problem that only he can fix himself Haley, and he will have to live with his choice." At Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann walks inside, as she yells "Jackie!" Ann says to herself "His car's gone. Likely tending to his Son who deserves to die. I'll pour myself a nice, strong drink, and sit back and relax." Ann sits down, as her doorbell rings, as Ann sighs "Oh shit. Hope it isn't anyone related to poor weak Randi." Ann opens the door, and tears comes to her eyes, as Ann is silent, and goes "Jenny?" Jenny Miller Douglas, Ann's Youngest of two children, is embraced with a hug, as Ann cries to her Daughter "I'm glad you're home my little girl." Jenny assures her Mother "After your call, I was on the road, and don't worry about anything Mama." At Randi's Mansion, Randi, Tilly, Sarah, and Blake sits in the living room, as Randi gets off the phone with Felicia, and tells everyone "Haley's comfortable." Tilly tells her Mother "I hope Zach gets his shit together." Randi walks outside, as Sarah looks towards her Grandmother with sadness, as she sighs "She looks so lost." Tilly fumes "Zach will have to do a lot of work to be back in the fold again honey." Blake's phone rings, as he tells them "I've been called to meet with Uncle William." Sarah and Tilly hugs Blake, and Tilly tells Blake "Tell Uncle William to come over here this evening when you see him." Blake nods, as he heads to Thomas Auto's Headquarters." In town Lorenzo pulls up at a red light, as he is silent, and has a look of content in his eyes, as he looks up, and says with a tear in his eye "I'll make damn sure Zach pays as long as he breathes Mama." At Zach and Haley's home, Jack sees a car pull out of the driveway, as anger grows, and Jack pulls into the driveway, and unlocks the door, and sees Zach on the ground in a pool of blood, and screams "ZACH!"
At The Gallery, Lorenzo Jr sits in a corner, as some walks up to him, and goes "Surprise." Lorenzo Jr sees his friend, Nate Easton, as he hugs him tightly, and Nate asks his friend "So you're serious about telling them?" Lorenzo sighs "I do, but scared."

Loma Vista: Episode 5. The Gatherings
At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits at his desk, and lights a joint, as his Father, and Aunts are inside, as Barbara looks at Ann, and tells her "I think sometimes you may not be a fake blonde." Ann looks at Barbara, and goes in a snarky tone "Granny!" William looks at Lorenzo, as Lorenzo puts out his joint, and hugs his Father, and asks his Aunts "Want to go meet Sayyid? Family reunion." All agree, as they leave to go to Sullivan's River Casino. At Sullivan's River Casino, Sayyid tells Lena, Nikki, Tyrone, Matt, and J.R. his life story, and tells them "I have a good son in River Mathis, and I'm proud of him, and Eve and I will always be friends. Lena loves her music." Lena sits next to him, and holds him with a look of content. Nikki asks everyone "So are we ready to wake Zach's ass up?" Sayyid hands Matt, J.R. and Tyrone AK-47s, and tells them "Now go check things out with white boy." Matt and J.R. asks Sayyid "Are you racist Mr.Ross?" Sayyid tells them "It's Sayyid, and that's a nickname for wastes of space like Zach Miller."
At Randi's Place, Randi continues to pace, as Felicia arrives, and Tilly sits by their Mom, as they tell her of Zach's drug habit, and more. Randi cries "I'm hurting. I feel stabbed in the back. What happened to him?" Tilly has no idea, and Felicia tells her family "It's been a long time. I started noticing something was off at Aunt Elizabeth's Birthday Bash." Randi snarls, as she grows upset "How could he hurt me this way?" Felicia and Tilly holds their Mother, as Randi starts to cry, and A man walks inside the bar, as he goes "Ms.Camden?" Randi gains her composure, and responds "That's me." The man tells her "I'm the President, of Loma Vista National Bank, and your family helped us get established, and I am shocked that you have foreclosed.." Randi asks "Foreclosed? What are you talking about?" The man sighs "We own this building, and you have to close. And until we are paid back on that loan.." Felicia and Tilly gasps in horror "Loan?" The man replies "Yes ma'am. Zach took all of Randi's Money from her banking account, and yours also Matilda." Tilly yells "Damnit! I am going to kill him!" Felicia tells the President of Loma Vista National Bank "We have a plan with him." He replies "I am sorry, but until we are repaid, any presence here unless to gather things will be considered trespassing." He acknowledges everyone, as he sadly walks out, and Randi looks at her Daughter, as they console each other, hurt from Zach's betrayal. At Zach and Haley's home meanwhile, Jack tells Haley "Go pack your bags, and you're going home with me."

His ass is mine." Sarah is shocked, as Blake asks Sarah "What did your Mom tell you?" Sarah goes "Zach sold the bar to the bank in exchange for a large loan." Blake looks at his phone, as Sarah asks "Who's disturbing us?" Blake tells Sarah "I am just shocked my Cousins haven't called for the first time" Sarah is confused, and asks him "First time for what exactly?" Blake shows off his gun, as Sarah gasps, and asks Blake "Are you really heartless to kill a living being?" Blake tells Sarah "It's the family's way of taking care of business." Sarah responds in disappointment "Not in mine! Blake, how can you do that? Are you going to kill my Uncle?" Blake tells Sarah "I can't say what's going to happen. Please try to understand." Sarah sighs "I can see through it, please don't get involved unless you love me." Blake looks at Sarah, as she starts to cry, and Blake grabs Sarah's hand, as they look into each other's eyes, as Blake tells Sarah "I do love you. My first love."
At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo Jr walks inside, as the place is quiet, and empty, and pulls out his phone, and calls his youngest Sister, Lizzie Thomas, who's living overseas, due to an early scholarship. Lorenzo Jr informs his Sister of everything, as Lizze, sitting in a living room in Switzerland, tells her Brother "You know Mom will always take Daddy's side, and he's always been temperamental, but I've never seen it. Lorenzo Jr tells Lizzie, in a scared tone of voice "If I open up to him and Mom, I'm scared of their reaction. Everyone's really. I only told you and our Grandma. I so miss her." Lizzie responds in a disappointed tone "I feel so bad I missed saying goodbye to her. She paid for me to be here studying medicine." Lorenzo Jr asks his Sister "Can I come visit?" Lizzie tells him "I'm coming home for a week soon, and I'll help you." Lorenzo Jr thanks her with tears, as she assures him "You have me Little L."

I got to take care of me for once. I want mine." Tilly yells "Mine isn't yours, Mom's not yours, and you just took our livelihood, and you should damn know how much Ann, Lorenzo, and Uncle William feel about you. Lorenzo almost killed you when you were teenagers with that concussion, and this may be worse. I haven't seen or heard from him!"

MY DAMN SISTER! MINE! Damn you Zach Miller." Felicia, Tilly, Sarah, and Haley comforts Randi, as Jack looks at his Son, and tells him "If you don't pay back this money, and I will help you, but be over you as will Haley if she decides to go through this, which you don't deserve."

What are you talking about?" The man sighs "We own this building, and you have to close. And until we are paid back on that loan.." Felicia and Tilly gasps in horror "Loan?" The man replies "Yes ma'am. Zach took all of Randi's Money from her banking account, and yours also Matilda." Tilly yells "Damnit! I am going to kill him!" Felicia tells the President of Loma Vista National Bank "We have a plan with him."

Sarah responds in disappointment "Not in mine! Blake, how can you do that? Are you going to kill my Uncle?" Blake tells Sarah "I can't say what's going to happen. Please try to understand."

Loma Vista: Episode 4. Showdowns
It's the next day in Loma Vista, and at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo sits inside his study, as Nikki brings her Husband coffee, as she tells him "I think you should get out of here and head down to the office baby." Lorenzo sighs "I don't know." Nikki assures her Husband "It'll be alright, and I'll go with you, as will Tyrone." Lorenzo asks Nikki "Have you seen our Son?" Nikki goes "He's at Dad's." Lorenzo responds "Good. One less pain in my ass today. I'm ready to deliver that wake up call." Nikki sits on Lorenzo's lap, and wraps her arms around him, and tells him "After last night, Mama's new beau may be able to help all of you with that piece of shit." Lorenzo tells her "After reading of his past, and all, I agree. Killing someone with his bare hands, that's a bonus." Nikki tells her Husband, after giving him a kiss "You head down to the office, and I'm going to visit Mama, and meet Sayyid Ross." Nikki walks out, as she heads to the bedroom, as Lorenzo opens up his safe, and pulls out his Mother's diary, and looks at the piece of paper again, and also pulls out a pistol, and says to himself "The day of reckoning is among you Zach. It's long overdue."
At Randi's Mansion, Randi has cooked breakfast, as Tilly, Sarah, and Haley sits in the kitchen, as Randi tells them "I can't understand what's going on with Zach, and when I see him today, I'm having a talk with him." Sarah asks her Grandmother "Does our family have a history of violence?" Tilly tells her Daughter "Aunt Elizabeth and Gram had tempers, but they kept it under control. Zach however, is addicted to a drug that'll bring out the worst in anyone." Haley starts to cry, as she tells her Mother and Sister In Law "He's changed so much after..." Randi asks 'After?" Haley sighs "He went to Elizabeth for money, and he's been on cocaine for quite some time. I want to have an intervention." Tilly looks at Haley, and tells her "Good idea. Get our family together and get him help." The door opens, as Randi goes "That may be Zach." Randi, Tilly, Haley, and Sarah walks into the living room, as Ann stands in the foyer, and goes "Oh poor pitiful pathetic Randi." Randi rolls her eyes, and sighs "Oh shit. The devil's arrived. Welcome to hell everyone. Hell's Mother's here." Ann laughs "What a sense of humor Randi. Did you enjoy sleeping with my Husband last night?" Tilly yells at her Step-Mother "Get the hell out of here you bitch! Daddy's not here. He stayed with Felicia last night!" Ann looks at Sarah, and asks her "So are you going to follow your Granny's footsteps and become a whore?" Randi warns Ann "You are pushing my buttons." Ann quips "I am? Well then, tell me, did you run over to the Manor and keep the bed warm with MY Jackie?" Tension fills the room, as Randi slaps Ann in the face, and Sarah yells at Ann "Oh so you know, Blake and I are officially dating now!" Ann warns Sarah "And I don't approve of it you weirdo!" Tilly loses it, as Randi rushes at Ann, and slaps her again, and a fight breaks out between Randi and Ann, as Tilly, Sarah, and Haley pulls back Randi, as Ann looks at her fur, as Tilly yells at her Step-Mother "Get the hell out of here! And don't come back!" Ann looks at Haley, as she tells her "Call the funeral home for your piece of shit, drugged out Husband, because he's paying for what he's done." Randi pulls out her pistol, as Ann laughs "Go ahead Randi, try me, but just remember who the whore in the room is, and it sure as hell isn't me!" Ann walks out, as Randi screams "Damn her!" Sarah goes "What in the hell is her problem?" Randi tells her Granddaughter, as she wipes blood from her lip "That's Ann for you, and that snobby old bitch doesn't want to pick a fight with me." Tilly's phone rings meanwhile, as it's her Father, and Tilly tells him of their plan, and of Ann's visit, as Jack, at his Estate, tells his Daughter "Zach's not home." At the Loma Vista National Bank, Zach is talking to an accountant, as the accountant asks "So what are you willing to put up for this huge loan Mr.Miller?" Zach pulls out the deed to Randi's Place, and hands it to the accountant, and goes "My Mom and Sister has signed it, so there." The accountant responds "Just wait here, and I'll return with the money."
At Thomas Holdings, Felicia arrives, as Barbara and William sits inside her office, and Felicia asks "Do you know where your evil Sister is?" Barbara responds "At home?" Felicia snaps "She just went over to my Mom's, and they got into a damn fight!" William sighs "Shit. Ann's on a warpath." Barbara quips "More so than we are at the moment. Thank god for that nerve pill." Felicia tells them "Lorenzo's going to be here soon, and likely the same for the witch, and we'll go through the books." Barbara tells Felicia "William and I have already went through the books, and something's amiss." Ben Burton, one of Lorenzo's closest friends, and Chief Financial Officer of Thomas Holdings, walks out of his office, as he tells Felicia "I see a big loss in our books, and did you give money to somebody?" Felicia snaps at Ben, William, and Barbara "Look! I haven't given no money to my Brother! I've been pushing it aside because I know Lorenzo hates him." William responds bluntly "So do I Felicia! The son of a bitch owes me, and since your Aunt Elizabeth's gone, he's paying up. He's going to pay dearly. Damn bastard!" Barbara looks over at her Brother, and tells him calmly "Chill out William. When Lorenzo arrives, then we can get this shindig underway." Felicia asks her Uncle "What do you, Barbara, Lorenzo, and the other relative know that I don't about my Brother?" William tells his Niece "Only enough to make a few phone calls. Lorenzo will explain everything when he arrives." Felicia heads to her office, and turns and tells William, Barbara, and Ben "Thomas Holdings owns my Grandpa's company, and if Ann wants to force me out, I won't go without it. Lorenzo hired me to run Duncan's, and I feel for him as much as anyone." William hugs Felicia, and goes "I know you do, and you are very intelligent, and Elizabeth always admired you." Felicia gets emotional, and closes the door, as William looks at his Sister, and Barbara tells her Brother "We'll just wait for Lorenzo in his office, and then we can come up with a course of action." Ben gets a text, and tells William and Barbara "There's already one meeting taking place at the casino as we speak." Lorenzo arrives, as he hugs his Father tightly, and Lorenzo, William, Barbara, and Ben heads to his office, as Felicia sits inside her office, with sadness in her eyes, as she looks at a picture of her Aunt, and goes "I don't know what happened Aunt Elizabeth, but I promise that if Zach played a part in anything, he'll pay for it." Felicia gets a page from Lorenzo, and heads to his office.
Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena walks inside her office, as she is the Co-CEO, after being promoted by Elizabeth a few years prior, and inside Lena's office sits Tyrone, J.R., and Matt, as Nikki arrives, and Lena hugs her Daughter, as Nikki tells her Brother "What we smoked last night really knocked me out, same for Lorenzo." Lena asks her Daughter "And where's my wonderful Son In Law?" Nikki tells her Mother "He's down at the Tower, taking care of things there, as I handle things here." J.R. and Matt asks Nikki "Are we indoctrinating Junior?" Nikki sighs "No we are not. He isn't like his Father, or either of you. I seen his post on FaceSpace, and something's up with him." Lena goes "I think he's gay Nicole." Nikki is silent, as Tyrone, J.R., and Matt all look at Nikki, as she responds "He's very quiet, and I've noticed some things...but that's not why we're here. I'm here to meet Sayyid Ross, and Lorenzo thought it'd be good for the gang to be here when he arrives." Lena tells her Daughter "I have to go pick him up from the airport shortly. He's on a private jet, his friend Xavier Jackson gave him a free flight from Adam's Landing, and he doesn't do commercial flying." Tyrone sits back, and sighs with a smile "My childhood hero couldn't pass security with that briefcase." Lena assures her Children "When he gets here, he will be helping in Lorenzo's plan. And don't mention anything to him about Adam's Landing, or his Sister." Nikki asks "Why?" Lena walks towards the door, and tells her Daughter, and everyone else "His Sister passed away, and so did someone else he knew well. That's why he's moving here." Lena walks out, as Nikki looks around the room, as J.R. asks Nikki "So you are working for Lorenzo? This is a first!" Nikki asks "Got your guns?" Everyone pulls out their pistols, and Nikki tells everyone "When my Mama's beau arrives, Lorenzo's plan goes into effect. It's already started."
At The Gallery, a coffee shop in Downtown Loma Vista, Lorenzo Jr sits outside, as Blake walks up, and asks his Cousin "What's up with the posts?" Lorenzo Jr tells Blake "I got issues with the Thomas way." Blake looks at Blake, as he tells Lorenzo Jr "You should embrace it. It's a right of passage." Lorenzo Jr responds in a sad tone "And my Daddy doesn't think I'm good enough to be a part of it." Blake notices makeup, and asks his Cousin "Are you wearing makeup Junior?" Lorenzo Jr yells "Yes the hell I am! What? You gonna judge me?" Blake goes "No, but it's odd." Lorenzo Jr gets up, as he tells Blake "Enjoy being in the family. My Daddy thinks more of you than me!" Lorenzo Jr begins to leave, as Sarah arrives, and looks over at Lorenzo Jr, and asks her Cousin "Are you alright? I am worried about you." Blake kisses Sarah, as Lorenzo Jr asks his Cousins "Are the two of you dating?" Blake and Sarah nods, as Lorenzo Jr walks away, and Sarah tells Blake "Your Aunt came by this morning and got into a fight with my Grandma." Blake rolls his eyes, as he asks "Aunt Ann?" Sarah quips "That's the bitch." Blake looks at Sarah, as they sit together outside, and Blake tells Sarah "I know your family and Aunt Ann don't get along, but let's not make that a focal point in our relationship." Sarah tells Blake "She has one more time to call me a whore before I tear into her old ass. That damn fur coat she wears makes me sick!" Blake goes in shock "She called you a whore? She doesn't know you." Sarah goes "And she doesn't give a shit. In her twisted mind, if you're related to Randi Camden, you are anything she can think of calling you. She called me a weirdo also." Blake looks at Sarah, and holds her hand, as he tells her "You're perfect to me. And I'll talk to her and tell her to leave you alone." Sarah quips "Good luck. I know my Grandpa Jack has tried to talk to her for years, but she has a mind of her own." Blake tells Sarah "Well if it make you feel any better, she isn't fond of many people at all. She despises my Mom. That's one of the reasons she doesn't live here anymore." Sarah asks "What happened?" Blake begins to tell his story to Sarah, as she listens intently, and a waitress walks outside and brings them coffee, as Sarah's blown away at Blake's revelation, and asks "Do you know who it is?" Blake shakes his head, and tells Sarah "She's fond of me, but I know she's has it out for my Mom, and my siblings." Sarah sighs "What a bitch." Blake tells Sarah "Let's talk about us now, and stop talking about my Aunt." Sarah agrees, as they share a cup of coffee together, and share a kiss.
Back at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits back in his chair, as William, Barbara, Felicia, and Ben are inside, as William tells his Son, as they discuss Zach "Do you have that piece of paper your Mama wrote?" Lorenzo pulls the paper out of his pocket, as Ann walks inside, and Felicia glares at her Step-Mother, as Ann glares back, and Ann tells Felicia "Tell your Mama that I'm going to kick her damn ass! Trying to get with my Jackie!" Barbara tells her Sister "Shut up and sit down! Now's not the damn time!" As Felicia reads the note her Aunt wrote, her eyes grow red, as she asks Lorenzo "Is this true? I don't believe this." Ann goes "A cokehead for you. Always needing money to get his toot." William takes a deep breath, as Barbara walks over to the bar, and sighs "Damn if I need a drink right now. Thank you Ann." Ann smiles at her Sister, and tells her "And pour me a glass too Sissy." Barbara responds to Ann "Pour your own damn drink." As Ben tells everyone "Luckily we're still in the black." Felicia tells them "He has been asking for some money, and stock, and I just played along, and lied." Ann tells her Step-Daughter in a sarcastic tone "You do have some brains. Maybe you did get some smarts from your Aunt Elizabeth and your sweet Grandmother." William asks Lorenzo "What do you think Son?" Lorenzo tells his Father "You all have seen that note, and now you all have the answers. Now it's time for him to pay back." Felicia shakes her head with disgust, as she tells everyone "I wouldn't have never dreamed my baby Brother was capable of this. And now it raises more questions. Aunt Elizabeth gave me Gram and Grandpa's Manor, and then left town, and I knew something was wrong with her then." Lorenzo starts to choke up, as William responds with sadness "When she started dropping weight, and tell me she was just fine, I knew she was hiding something. She was seeing a Doctor in Adam's Landing, and I called and never found out anything." Lorenzo starts to cry uncontrollably, as William, Barbara, Ann, and Felicia comforts him, as he cries "She didn't say nothing to anyone. She sent this from a hospital room in Adam's Landing, and her last words to me was to take care of things." William gets emotional, as does Ann, as she cries "Poor Elizabeth. How much money was in her account?" Ben responds "She had nothing left in her account." Felicia walks out of the room with rage in her eyes, as she snarls "Bastard!", as Lorenzo picks up the phone, and makes a phone call to his Wife, as Nikki sits in her Mother's office at Sullivan's River Casino, as he asks her "Has Mr.Ross arrived." Nikki goes "No baby. He should be here any moment." Lorenzo hangs up, as Barbara asks her Nephew, as anger grows in William's eyes, and Ann paces the office "Sayyid Ross is coming to Loma Vista? He's a thug." Ann tells her Sister "He will do the damn job! If he doesn't, damnit I will!" Lorenzo pulls out his pistol, and tells his family, as Ben excuses himself "Zach Miller will regret this as long as the son of a bitch breathes. I'm about to destroy him, and it will be in a way that scars him forever."
At Randi's Place, Randi and Tilly arrive, as Randi tells her Daughter "I hope Zach doesn't hurt poor Haley again. I'm so disappointed in him. I did not raise him to be that way." Tilly assures her Mother "You were a great Mom. Always remember that!" Randi hugs Tilly, and in a sad tone responds "I tried." Tilly's phone rings, as Tilly tells her Mother "It's Felicia." Tilly answers, and Felicia tells her Sister of what she has learned, as Tilly turns away from Randi, as she watches intently, and Tilly's blood boils, as she responds "Let's tell her together." Tilly hangs up, and Randi goes "Tell me what about Zach?" Tilly tells her Mother "Felicia's on her way." Randi asks "And why is she leaving work? Ann?" Tilly looks at her Mother, as she sighs with sadness "Brace yourself Mom. Have a strong drink or follow me out to the deck and smoke a joint with me." Randi tells her Daughter "The way that just sounded, I'll just make myself a drink." At Zach and Haley's home, Zach arrives, as Haley sits in the living room, and Zach yells at his Wife "So you went and told my damn family I'm on cocaine? Didn't you learn better than that? Or shall I teach you to obey me?" Haley cries "Please get yourself together Zach. For everyone." Zach grabs Haley by the throat, and slams her against the wall, and snarls as he's coked out "I should kill you." The door opens, as Jack walks inside, and pulls his Son off of Haley, and yells in anger "You were raised better than this Zach, and want to know who called me just a moment ago on my way over?" Zach goes "That bitch you're married to?" Jack yells "Hell no boy! Loma Vista National Bank! What in the hell is wrong with you?" Zach responds "I'm helping my Mom!" Jack snaps "You just sold her dream to the damn bank for your drug habit!" Haley is shocked, and tells Zach in a scared tone "How could you do that to Randi?" Zach slaps his Wife forcefully, as Jack grabs his Son, and punches him in the face, with anger in his eyes, and goes "How does it feel to get hit Zach? If I ever see you hit Haley in my presence, I'll show you some things about me you never knew!" Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Nikki gets off the phone with her Husband, as she fumes with anger, as Tyrone tells his Sister "I know that look." Matt and J.R. asks her "What did Lorenzo say?" Nikki tells them of what she knows, as Lena walks inside, with her boyfriend, Clemmon "Sayyid" Ross, as she asks her Daughter "Did I just hear what I think I did Nicole?" Nikki yells "Oh yes you did Mama!" Sayyid looks around the room, and tells everyone "I will introduce myself later, now let's look in my briefcase." Sayyid throws the briefcase on the table, and opens it, as he tells everyone "At my age, I have no trouble killing anybody. My rock is gone, and now we defend an innocent lady's honor!" Back at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, with his Father, and Aunts, as William tells his Son "I'm about to take care of that son of a bitch!" Barbara and Ann both add "Right behind you William." Lorenzo tells them "We're letting Sayyid Ross handle him."
At Randi's Mansion, Randi has cooked breakfast, as Tilly, Sarah, and Haley sits in the kitchen, as Randi tells them "I can't understand what's going on with Zach, and when I see him today, I'm having a talk with him." Sarah asks her Grandmother "Does our family have a history of violence?" Tilly tells her Daughter "Aunt Elizabeth and Gram had tempers, but they kept it under control. Zach however, is addicted to a drug that'll bring out the worst in anyone." Haley starts to cry, as she tells her Mother and Sister In Law "He's changed so much after..." Randi asks 'After?" Haley sighs "He went to Elizabeth for money, and he's been on cocaine for quite some time. I want to have an intervention." Tilly looks at Haley, and tells her "Good idea. Get our family together and get him help." The door opens, as Randi goes "That may be Zach." Randi, Tilly, Haley, and Sarah walks into the living room, as Ann stands in the foyer, and goes "Oh poor pitiful pathetic Randi." Randi rolls her eyes, and sighs "Oh shit. The devil's arrived. Welcome to hell everyone. Hell's Mother's here." Ann laughs "What a sense of humor Randi. Did you enjoy sleeping with my Husband last night?" Tilly yells at her Step-Mother "Get the hell out of here you bitch! Daddy's not here. He stayed with Felicia last night!" Ann looks at Sarah, and asks her "So are you going to follow your Granny's footsteps and become a whore?" Randi warns Ann "You are pushing my buttons." Ann quips "I am? Well then, tell me, did you run over to the Manor and keep the bed warm with MY Jackie?" Tension fills the room, as Randi slaps Ann in the face, and Sarah yells at Ann "Oh so you know, Blake and I are officially dating now!" Ann warns Sarah "And I don't approve of it you weirdo!" Tilly loses it, as Randi rushes at Ann, and slaps her again, and a fight breaks out between Randi and Ann, as Tilly, Sarah, and Haley pulls back Randi, as Ann looks at her fur, as Tilly yells at her Step-Mother "Get the hell out of here! And don't come back!" Ann looks at Haley, as she tells her "Call the funeral home for your piece of shit, drugged out Husband, because he's paying for what he's done." Randi pulls out her pistol, as Ann laughs "Go ahead Randi, try me, but just remember who the whore in the room is, and it sure as hell isn't me!" Ann walks out, as Randi screams "Damn her!" Sarah goes "What in the hell is her problem?" Randi tells her Granddaughter, as she wipes blood from her lip "That's Ann for you, and that snobby old bitch doesn't want to pick a fight with me." Tilly's phone rings meanwhile, as it's her Father, and Tilly tells him of their plan, and of Ann's visit, as Jack, at his Estate, tells his Daughter "Zach's not home." At the Loma Vista National Bank, Zach is talking to an accountant, as the accountant asks "So what are you willing to put up for this huge loan Mr.Miller?" Zach pulls out the deed to Randi's Place, and hands it to the accountant, and goes "My Mom and Sister has signed it, so there." The accountant responds "Just wait here, and I'll return with the money."
At Thomas Holdings, Felicia arrives, as Barbara and William sits inside her office, and Felicia asks "Do you know where your evil Sister is?" Barbara responds "At home?" Felicia snaps "She just went over to my Mom's, and they got into a damn fight!" William sighs "Shit. Ann's on a warpath." Barbara quips "More so than we are at the moment. Thank god for that nerve pill." Felicia tells them "Lorenzo's going to be here soon, and likely the same for the witch, and we'll go through the books." Barbara tells Felicia "William and I have already went through the books, and something's amiss." Ben Burton, one of Lorenzo's closest friends, and Chief Financial Officer of Thomas Holdings, walks out of his office, as he tells Felicia "I see a big loss in our books, and did you give money to somebody?" Felicia snaps at Ben, William, and Barbara "Look! I haven't given no money to my Brother! I've been pushing it aside because I know Lorenzo hates him." William responds bluntly "So do I Felicia! The son of a bitch owes me, and since your Aunt Elizabeth's gone, he's paying up. He's going to pay dearly. Damn bastard!" Barbara looks over at her Brother, and tells him calmly "Chill out William. When Lorenzo arrives, then we can get this shindig underway." Felicia asks her Uncle "What do you, Barbara, Lorenzo, and the other relative know that I don't about my Brother?" William tells his Niece "Only enough to make a few phone calls. Lorenzo will explain everything when he arrives." Felicia heads to her office, and turns and tells William, Barbara, and Ben "Thomas Holdings owns my Grandpa's company, and if Ann wants to force me out, I won't go without it. Lorenzo hired me to run Duncan's, and I feel for him as much as anyone." William hugs Felicia, and goes "I know you do, and you are very intelligent, and Elizabeth always admired you." Felicia gets emotional, and closes the door, as William looks at his Sister, and Barbara tells her Brother "We'll just wait for Lorenzo in his office, and then we can come up with a course of action." Ben gets a text, and tells William and Barbara "There's already one meeting taking place at the casino as we speak." Lorenzo arrives, as he hugs his Father tightly, and Lorenzo, William, Barbara, and Ben heads to his office, as Felicia sits inside her office, with sadness in her eyes, as she looks at a picture of her Aunt, and goes "I don't know what happened Aunt Elizabeth, but I promise that if Zach played a part in anything, he'll pay for it." Felicia gets a page from Lorenzo, and heads to his office.
Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena walks inside her office, as she is the Co-CEO, after being promoted by Elizabeth a few years prior, and inside Lena's office sits Tyrone, J.R., and Matt, as Nikki arrives, and Lena hugs her Daughter, as Nikki tells her Brother "What we smoked last night really knocked me out, same for Lorenzo." Lena asks her Daughter "And where's my wonderful Son In Law?" Nikki tells her Mother "He's down at the Tower, taking care of things there, as I handle things here." J.R. and Matt asks Nikki "Are we indoctrinating Junior?" Nikki sighs "No we are not. He isn't like his Father, or either of you. I seen his post on FaceSpace, and something's up with him." Lena goes "I think he's gay Nicole." Nikki is silent, as Tyrone, J.R., and Matt all look at Nikki, as she responds "He's very quiet, and I've noticed some things...but that's not why we're here. I'm here to meet Sayyid Ross, and Lorenzo thought it'd be good for the gang to be here when he arrives." Lena tells her Daughter "I have to go pick him up from the airport shortly. He's on a private jet, his friend Xavier Jackson gave him a free flight from Adam's Landing, and he doesn't do commercial flying." Tyrone sits back, and sighs with a smile "My childhood hero couldn't pass security with that briefcase." Lena assures her Children "When he gets here, he will be helping in Lorenzo's plan. And don't mention anything to him about Adam's Landing, or his Sister." Nikki asks "Why?" Lena walks towards the door, and tells her Daughter, and everyone else "His Sister passed away, and so did someone else he knew well. That's why he's moving here." Lena walks out, as Nikki looks around the room, as J.R. asks Nikki "So you are working for Lorenzo? This is a first!" Nikki asks "Got your guns?" Everyone pulls out their pistols, and Nikki tells everyone "When my Mama's beau arrives, Lorenzo's plan goes into effect. It's already started."
At The Gallery, a coffee shop in Downtown Loma Vista, Lorenzo Jr sits outside, as Blake walks up, and asks his Cousin "What's up with the posts?" Lorenzo Jr tells Blake "I got issues with the Thomas way." Blake looks at Blake, as he tells Lorenzo Jr "You should embrace it. It's a right of passage." Lorenzo Jr responds in a sad tone "And my Daddy doesn't think I'm good enough to be a part of it." Blake notices makeup, and asks his Cousin "Are you wearing makeup Junior?" Lorenzo Jr yells "Yes the hell I am! What? You gonna judge me?" Blake goes "No, but it's odd." Lorenzo Jr gets up, as he tells Blake "Enjoy being in the family. My Daddy thinks more of you than me!" Lorenzo Jr begins to leave, as Sarah arrives, and looks over at Lorenzo Jr, and asks her Cousin "Are you alright? I am worried about you." Blake kisses Sarah, as Lorenzo Jr asks his Cousins "Are the two of you dating?" Blake and Sarah nods, as Lorenzo Jr walks away, and Sarah tells Blake "Your Aunt came by this morning and got into a fight with my Grandma." Blake rolls his eyes, as he asks "Aunt Ann?" Sarah quips "That's the bitch." Blake looks at Sarah, as they sit together outside, and Blake tells Sarah "I know your family and Aunt Ann don't get along, but let's not make that a focal point in our relationship." Sarah tells Blake "She has one more time to call me a whore before I tear into her old ass. That damn fur coat she wears makes me sick!" Blake goes in shock "She called you a whore? She doesn't know you." Sarah goes "And she doesn't give a shit. In her twisted mind, if you're related to Randi Camden, you are anything she can think of calling you. She called me a weirdo also." Blake looks at Sarah, and holds her hand, as he tells her "You're perfect to me. And I'll talk to her and tell her to leave you alone." Sarah quips "Good luck. I know my Grandpa Jack has tried to talk to her for years, but she has a mind of her own." Blake tells Sarah "Well if it make you feel any better, she isn't fond of many people at all. She despises my Mom. That's one of the reasons she doesn't live here anymore." Sarah asks "What happened?" Blake begins to tell his story to Sarah, as she listens intently, and a waitress walks outside and brings them coffee, as Sarah's blown away at Blake's revelation, and asks "Do you know who it is?" Blake shakes his head, and tells Sarah "She's fond of me, but I know she's has it out for my Mom, and my siblings." Sarah sighs "What a bitch." Blake tells Sarah "Let's talk about us now, and stop talking about my Aunt." Sarah agrees, as they share a cup of coffee together, and share a kiss.
Back at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits back in his chair, as William, Barbara, Felicia, and Ben are inside, as William tells his Son, as they discuss Zach "Do you have that piece of paper your Mama wrote?" Lorenzo pulls the paper out of his pocket, as Ann walks inside, and Felicia glares at her Step-Mother, as Ann glares back, and Ann tells Felicia "Tell your Mama that I'm going to kick her damn ass! Trying to get with my Jackie!" Barbara tells her Sister "Shut up and sit down! Now's not the damn time!" As Felicia reads the note her Aunt wrote, her eyes grow red, as she asks Lorenzo "Is this true? I don't believe this." Ann goes "A cokehead for you. Always needing money to get his toot." William takes a deep breath, as Barbara walks over to the bar, and sighs "Damn if I need a drink right now. Thank you Ann." Ann smiles at her Sister, and tells her "And pour me a glass too Sissy." Barbara responds to Ann "Pour your own damn drink." As Ben tells everyone "Luckily we're still in the black." Felicia tells them "He has been asking for some money, and stock, and I just played along, and lied." Ann tells her Step-Daughter in a sarcastic tone "You do have some brains. Maybe you did get some smarts from your Aunt Elizabeth and your sweet Grandmother." William asks Lorenzo "What do you think Son?" Lorenzo tells his Father "You all have seen that note, and now you all have the answers. Now it's time for him to pay back." Felicia shakes her head with disgust, as she tells everyone "I wouldn't have never dreamed my baby Brother was capable of this. And now it raises more questions. Aunt Elizabeth gave me Gram and Grandpa's Manor, and then left town, and I knew something was wrong with her then." Lorenzo starts to choke up, as William responds with sadness "When she started dropping weight, and tell me she was just fine, I knew she was hiding something. She was seeing a Doctor in Adam's Landing, and I called and never found out anything."
