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." Zach punches his Father in the face, as Haley runs into the bedroom, as Jack tackles his Son, pinning him to the ground, as Zach pulls out a knife.
    Meanwhile at the Gallery, Blake and Sarah sits on the patio, as they have coffee, and talk, and holds hands, as Blake holds Sarah, as she looks at her phone and finds a text from Tilly, telling her Daughter "Zach broke us. 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." Lorenzo Jr and Lizzie say goodbye, and hang up, as Lorenzo Jr begins to feel confident, and makes another call, and tells them "I think I'm finally ready to open up. Then it'll be easier."
    At Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo, Barbara, Ann, and William arrives, as Nikki hugs her Husband, and Lena introduces Lorenzo and his family to Sayyid, as Lorenzo tells him "Xavier told me some things about you." Sayyid responds in a distant tone "A great man." Ann lights a cigarette, as she asks Sayyid "So Mr.Ross, what is your strategy in making Zach suffer without offing him?" Barbara gets unnerved, as William recommends "What if he gets beaten?" Lorenzo listens, as Sayyid looks around the room, at Lorenzo, Nikki, Lena, Barbara, Ann, William, Matt, and J.R, and Tyrone, and goes "He's already buying drugs. That's already a way to scare him. It's successful." Lorenzo likes the idea, and Sayyid grabs two ski masks, and another, as he hands one to both Matt, and J.R., as Sayyid puts the third one on himself, and goes with a sigh of relief "Things like this helps me get through life. Helping the world." Barbara whispers to her Brother and Sister "Is he crazy?" Matt, J.R. , and Tyrone smile as they pick up their AK-47's. and Lena hugs her Son, as Barbara tearfully hugs her Son, and Matt assures his Mother "I'll be ok. I'm a Thomas." Barbara responds with emotion "I know my little boy." Ann looks at J.R., and tells him, in a gentle tone "Remember what your Papaw, Uncle William, and Victor taught you. I love you baby." J.R. assures his Mother "I learned from the best. I even seen you do some things." Ann kisses him, and smiles "Get him." Sayyid, Matt, J.R., and Tyrone heads out, as Lorenzo tells everyone "That son of bitch is about to regret the damn second he messed with me. Endgame."
    At Zach and Haley's home, Jack stands outside, as Haley walks up to her Father in Law, and tells him "I called her." Jack responds "Good. He needs this intervention." Haley goes "I also called my Mom, who lives in Carrollburg, and she's already on the road. She's mad." Jack sighs "I am hurt." Inside, Zach snorts a line of coke, as he yells to his Wife, and Father outside "Go on. I hear you!" Outside, Randi arrives, with Felicia, and Tilly in tow, as Blake and Sarah also arrives, and Blake pulls out his pistol, and tells everyone "I'm going to try to save his life." Randi responds "Why try if he's already doing a damn good job of it." Felicia and Tilly walks inside, as Jack hugs his Ex-Wife, and goes "Miranda, I'm so sorry about everything." Randi sighs "It's on Zach, but I'm getting back my retirement plan. At least I have my home, and Clint's Sister owns the property since it's his, was his homeplace." Jack tells Randi "I liked Clint. Clint Camden, the man of the hour in News, only on KLV 7 News." Randi smiles, as Jack holds her, and Haley asks her Mother In Law "Want to go inside?" Jack tells their Daughter In Law "Maybe in a minute." Haley stays outside, where she feels safe, as inside, Felicia knocks the coffee table over, and Zach screams "What in the hell do you think you are doing! This is my damn home! Screw yall. 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!" Felicia responds "I think what needs to be done, is just have a this intervention, or else we will sue." Zach laughs "Yeah. I bet you would, and I can handle Lorenzo, and J.R." Jack and Randi walks inside, along with Haley, and an Interventionist, and Zach goes "What the hell?" Sarah walks inside, as Blake sits outside, and receives a text message, and sits back and relaxes, as inside, Jack tells his Son "Sit down." The Interventionist tells everyone "Let's get started. I had to cancel an important appointment." Randi yells "I don't care!" Randi tells him "I don't have to write shit on what I've got to say to him!" Randi walks up to her Son, and backhand slaps him across the face, and hisses "You sorry low life piece of shit. How could you ever hurt us like this, and do what you did to your Aunt? 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." Zach yells at Haley "I love you." Haley screams as she cries "You don't love me. You hit me, and tried to kill me. How is that even love?" Sarah cries, as does Felicia, as they comfort Haley, and Randi, Jack, and Tilly, all tell Zach "You have a choice, us or drugs." Outside, Blake sits, as he watches the cars drive by and says to himself "This would all really be nice. This is the life.", holding his pistol.
    At Sullivan's River Casino, Everyone gathers in a private lounge, as Ann orders whiskey, and Barbara orders wine, as William gets a soft drink, as does Nikki, Lena, and Lorenzo, as Barbara tells everyone "I worry for them." Ann with a buzz, responds "Oh shut up prissy." Barbara snaps at her Sister "Who in the hell are you calling prissy? Look who's talking and lies about her age." Ann quips "I'll bump it one year." Everyone laughs, as Lorenzo tells his Aunt "We know your age. You are still young." Ann goes "Why yes, I am." William tells everyone "Zach's about to get what's coming to him." Nikki sits on her Husband's lap, and holds him, as Lena sighs "I pray everyone's safe." At Zach and Haley's Zach's family holds an intervention inside, as many emotions are felt inside, and Blake sits on guard, and texts his family, being informed of information." On an Interstate, as she passes a sign that read "Loma Vista, next 7 Exits, a woman smokes a cigarette, and has a pistol in the passenger's seat." On the road to Zach and Haley's home, Sayyid drives a black SUV, with Matt, J.R. and Tyrone, in ski masks, dressed in black, as he reminds them "Ask questions later, Blake will be our lookout." Everyone holds their AK-47s, as Sayyid tells them "We're getting close. GPS says 1 and a half minutes." Everyone's prepped. At Zach and Haley's home, the intervention goes on, as Randi, Jack, Haley, Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah, all agree to cut ties to him unless he cleans up and goes to a rehab center in Antioch, east of Loma Vista." Zach yells at his family "I can take everything from all of you. I know everything." Randi cries, as Felicia sighs with disgust "I never thought I'd ever say this but I hate you." Sarah consoles her Mother and Grandmother, as Jack, and Haley consoles Randi, and Zach screams in rage "Get the hell out of here! Nobody would disown family!" The Interventionist warns Zach "Calm down Mr.Miller." All of a sudden a bullet flies through the window, as Sayyid stops, firing the warning shot, and he stops, as Matt, J.R. Tyrone, and Sayyid all run to the front door, as Sayyid and Tyrone kicks it down, and aims their AK-47's at Zach.
