At the Loma Vista Police Department, Scarlet's brought inside the visitation room, as she's silent, and William walks inside, and quips "Well look who's finally in a damn jumpsuit!"

William warns his "Sister" "Don't dare speak of my deceased Wife, that'd be the wrong damn thing to say, I just wanted to tell you I'm glad you're here, and your ass will pay for the pain you've caused so many." Scarlet yells at her Brother "Screw you William!" William walks out of the visitation room, as Scarlet's taken back to her cell.

Eve tells Brooke "Lena is street smart, and she's perfect for Sayyid, both of them are ready to settle down. All I know, Sayyid went dark after his Wife, Cissy and two other children were murdered. He ended up in Prison. With this news, and with Willie passing away thankfully at her home, he's going to snap. I've noticed he's more calculated than he was." Brooke sighs "Well Mom, I'll be there, and I'll help you if you need me to."

Lena growls, and Sayyid quips "Quite raw yourself Lena." Lena kisses Sayyid and tells him "Let's go meet Ms.Mathis, and you behave..." Sayyid goes "I already..." Lena says to herself "Oh yeah. Um hum."

Randi sighs "The legendary secret in the Thomas Family. Elizabeth told me the adoption joke, as did Mrs.Thomas, and my Mama. It was played very well, but Barbara suffered, but she's also very much like Felicia in the work world." Blake goes "Aunt Barbara's my Grandmother? What in the hell happened?" Haley tells everyone of what she learned from her and Blake's Grandmother, and Haley's Father, as Blake asks "So how should I go about this? Does Mom know?" Haley shakes her head, and responds "My Mom never told her how she found out, somebody revealed it to her in Adam's Landing." Everyone is shocked, as Blake asks "May I go visit the sorry excuse I have for a Mom?" Randi, Tilly, Haley, and Kate hugs him, as he leaves, and Randi quips "Another Thomas Secret confirmed true."

I wanted to rest." Nikki tells her Son "I'll be here anyway because I'm your Mama, and I got to protect you." Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother "Daddy came by last night and said he loved me."

Elizabeth sneaks up the stairs, to Lorenzo's study, and goes "Boo." Dina asks "Who are you?" Elizabeth responds 'Lorenzo's Mama.Why are you mooching off my damn son, sitting her naked, smoking out, just kicked back and destroying his marriage." Dina snaps "For one, you died, and two, I drink, so I'm likely imagining this conversation.." Elizabeth snaps back "You have seen me now, and yes bitch..." Elizabeth pulls out her pistol, and looks at Dina, and tells her "Scare tactic, my Nephew was shot recently, and I did it myself, so don't underestimate me at all you whore." Dina yells "I'm going nowhere." Elizabeth puts her pistol in her purse, and sighs "Well it's going to be a hell of a ride when everyone finds out I'm alive, when I tell them, not you, nor another breathing thing in this city that also knows!" Dina nods in fear, as Elizabeth leaves, as she says to herself "What has happened to my boy?" Dina meanwhile asks herself, sitting inside Lorenzo's Study "Did I really see what I thought I seen? Yes. Oh shit.." Dina grows more scared, as she shivers in fear.

Blake shakes his head, and asks his Mother "Do you want to write Sarah's family an apology for almost having her killed?" Scarlet yells for the jailer, and snaps at her Son "I have no use for Tilly Miller, or anyone related Blake Walton!" Blake yells "It's Camden now Mom!" Scarlet warns him "Don't make me kick you to the side." Blake sighs "I hate you." Blake walks out, as Phillip walks in, and tells Scarlet "He was pissed at you. So nobody's made an attempt to bail you out, and Luke's defending the family against you, and you are going to prison." Scarlet yells for the jailer, and yells at Phillip "Enjoy it while it lasts. Because Lacey's my Daughter. Our Summer together that year when she graduated high school, I taught her some things." Phillip sighs "I know, but you owe her!"

J.R. looks at his Sister, as Jenny sighs "I agree Uncle William." Matt gets off the phone, and asks his Uncle "So how are you connected with Sandi? Did the two of you ever..." William defensively responds "Hell no I never." Matt responds "She wanted to thank you and Aunt Elizabeth for the surprise in her bank account."

Outside the Bluebird Manor, Elizabeth stands at the gates, and signs papers, as she responds "Next stop, home." Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena and Sayyid are inside her office, as Sayyid sighs "Typical Eve Mathis, always running late for a perfection check." Lena goes "Guess that's celebrity.

William tells Phillip "I don't care what happens either. All I know was she stole from Elizabeth, and it was done. Elizabeth rarely forgive, never forgets, and she hated Scarlet." Ann laughs "She was adopted William." Barbara tells Phillip "May I see her?" Barbara turns towards her Sister and Brother, as they talk among themselves, with a laugh, and adds "By myself?" Phillip quips "The only way. Mama and Daddy isn't here to help anymore with her." Barbara warns Phillip, as they walk out "Talk about my Mama and Daddy you smug son of a bitch and see what happens when you mess with me." Phillip grows silent. Meanwhile Luke looks at Ann and William, and asks them "So who wants to back her up?" Ann and William immediately shakes their heads, and Luke responds "I'm going to help Phillip. I think it'd be smart in the promotion to D.A.." Ann looks at Luke, and goes "Trained well. Come by tonight, and we'll have dinner." Luke laughs "Tease." William shakes his head, as Luke asks "What time?" Ann sighs "I'll call you." Luke responds "I'm not going to be your stand by again." Ann smiles "But you are always pleased." Luke sighs in agreement, as William asks his Sister "You just divorced Jack, and not even a day and you're eyeing Jack's golf pal?" Ann laughs "It will kill him. Just kill him, and thrill the hell out of Luke in the bedroom. I still got it." William rolls his eyes, as Luke and Ann hug, and Luke leaves, and William looks at his Sister, as he's in shock, as Ann tells William "Between us, I also like Phillip. Multiple choice?" William asks "Have you been drinking?" Ann goes "No. Just feel sexy in my new fur."
    Back at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Randi, Tilly, Felicia, Kate, and Blake sits silently in the waiting area, all scared, as Tilly has a flashback, and trembles, as she's overcome with grief, and tells everyone "All of this is my fault. I am no better than Scarlet." Randi looks at her Daughter, and boldly tells her "Don't ever compare yourself to that whore Matilda Miller! You raised two Daughter, and although Kate got caught up in Scarlet's twisted web, she's here now, and safe, and Sarah will make it. I know because there's some people in heaven protecting her." Tilly sighs "I gave up that belief a long time ago." Randi goes "My Sister loved Sarah, and I remember that huge bash her and Mama threw for you when you were pregnant." Tilly looks around, as she responds in a distant tone of disgrace "I did unforgivable things. All I ever made was mistakes, and..." Felicia is silent, as she holds her Sister's hand, and Randi looks at Tilly, and tells her "We all make mistakes in life my little girl. It's expected in life. I've made mine, and I have to live with some, but I've also became stronger. And you have done the same. Stop kicking yourself before I do!" Felicia adds "I've made mine also, but.." Randi asks her Oldest Daughter "You were the level headed one of my children. What mistakes are you talking about Felicia?" Felicia sighs "I think of Matt Wilson to this day, and our relationship, and I chose work over family." Randi sighs "He gave me a Daughter In Law that I adore in Haley, where is she?" Felicia tells her Mother "She's back at the Manor. Sandi's going to Adam's Landing with the money she made from Ann." Randi sighs "I heard Barbara's been trying to get her out of her house. The one Thomas you fear, the quiet one." Blake quips "Aunt Barbara hated her. The entire time she's been in town, Aunt Barbara's been going mad. I hope things can calm down, but doubt it will with my damn Mom in town. The grand dame slut of Loma Vista. Damnit! I hate her!" Randi walks over, and tells Blake in a soft tone "My Husband was your Father, and I will look after you. You have been very good for Sarah, and I'd love to be there for you, and for Clint, if only he'd known." Blake sighs "I wish I could have met him." Randi sighs "He wasn't perfect, but was a great man, and in all honesty, the only man I loved. I found out what love was when I married him, but he was flawed, and he got over them, and then he passed away from a stroke. I miss him, but now I can look at you, and see him." Tilly meanwhile holds Kate, as Tilly cries with her Daughter, and Felicia is silent, as J.R. and Jenny arrive, and Felicia hugs her Half-Brother and Half-Sister, as Jenny goes "Mama told us what happened. Said to come down here." Everyone gathers together, and embrace in a hug, as they wait for Sarah's surgery to be completed.
    Meanwhile at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo answers the door, as Dina walks inside, and asks Lorenzo "How much do you know about Jack Miller?" Lorenzo goes "My Uncle, two times former, and an asshole." Dina looks at Lorenzo, and tells him "He's not good in bed." Lorenzo tells Dina "This type of shit I don't want to hear about. My Aunt Ann told me about the little blue wonder he has a prescription for." Dina looks at Lorenzo, and tells him "Thank you for calling me over. This place is beautiful, and I got my suitcase." Lorenzo tells Dina "Just make yourself at home. My Grandma and Grandpa Thomas lived here, and he gave it to me when he moved in with my Aunt before he passed away." Dina is in awe, as she goes "This place is like a palace." Lorenzo tells her "This was their award for working from the bottom, to the top, and establishing themselves in this city." Dina asks Lorenzo "Where's the wine? Or vodka?" Lorenzo pulls out a pouch, and pulls out two joints, and hands one to Dina, and goes "In my home, this is the closest I get to alcohol. Dina looks at the joint, as Lorenzo tells her "Just smoke, and relax with me." Dina fires her joint up, as Lorenzo does with his, as they sit on the couch, looking at each other, with lust in their eyes.
    In the Emergency Room of Loma Vista Hospital of Downtown, Lorenzo Jr's brought in, as Nikki runs to her Son's side, as Lena and Nate follows, and Nikki asks her Mother "What happened?" Lena sighs "Baby girl, he was beaten up, and he's hurting." Nate gets emotional, as Lena asks her Daughter "Want to call Lorenzo or William?" Nikki asks her Mother "Why call them? Lorenzo doesn't care, and if he was behind this, I'll kill him. This is too much! Too damn much! My Husband's changing before my eyes." Lena looks at Nikki, as Nate walks into the triage, and sits with his boyfriend, as outside, Nikki sends Lorenzo a text, and sighs with disgust "He likely won't even respond." Lena hugs her Daughter, and assures her "Remember, time Nicole. Time." Nikki walks inside, as Lena shakes her head, as her eyes fill with anger. Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Sayyid stands outside, as a white limo pulls up, and Eve Mathis walks out, and sees Sayyid, and they embrace in a hug, as Eve tells the Father to her Son, River Mathis "I am here. Keith should be here soon." Sayyid and Eve walks inside, as they enter the Hotel, as Sayyid asks "So I thought you were done touring?" Eve goes "I am, but your Son..." Sayyid asks "Talked you into it?" Eve nods, and adds "It's also for Willie. He had me with that, but the tour's going to be a short one. I got my awards for my last album, and am content with my career." Sayyid asks "How's Keith?" Eve tells him "Keith and River's grown close, and he's been working on a project with me, we're making our box sets." Sayyid tells Eve "I haven't seen Keith since Willie's Funeral. I wish he'd call more." Eve looks at Sayyid, and assures him "He's been well taken care of by my family, and playing Uncle to Henry (Eve and Sayyid's Grandson). He's relaxed in Sugar Creek." The busboys arrive as they take Eve's luggage, and belongings to her Suite inside the Hotel, as Sayyid leads them to where she'll be staying. Back at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo and Dina both finish their joints, and discuss their lives, as Dina tells Lorenzo "I imagine it's hard to accept your namesake wants to be someone else. But I'm not a man, so I can't imagine." Lorenzo sighs "He's ruined my life with this choice, but we're high, and it's time we go check out your room." Lorenzo and Dina heads upstairs.
    At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Sarah's family holds vigil, as they await Dr.Nolan to walk into the waiting area, as Randi, Tilly, Felicia, Blake, Kate, J.R., and Jenny are inside, as Tilly's comforted by her family. At the Loma Vista Police Department, Barbara sits inside the visitation room, as Scarlet tells her "Sister" "I'm innocent Barbara. Please believe me. Please! Phillip is going to destroy me, he'll ruin me." Barbara responds "And you lied to me Scarlet, and I'm not going to lose everything over you. I'm not Mama, and I'm not Daddy. You're shit out of luck Sis." Barbara leaves, as Phillip tells the jailer "Take Scarlet back to her cell, as Barbara asks Phillip "I'm not helping her. Same old song and dance with her." Phillip sighs "Typical of her. By the way Ann and William has left." Barbara rolls her eyes, as she sighs "They are likely plotting up something." At Jack and Ann's Estate, which now belongs solely to Ann, Luke arrives, as Ann wears a robe, and tells Luke "We have the entire evening to ourselves, and no interruptions." Luke smiles "And I like the sound of that Ann!" Ann motions for Luke, as she tells him "Let's go to my bedroom." At the Bluebird Manor meanwhile, Haley returns, as Jack sits inside, and Haley asks Jack "Why aren't you with everyone at the Hospital? I'm about to head back down there and you should be there for Sarah, and Tilly." Jack takes a drink of liquor, and asks Haley "Is Sandi still in town? Or did that bitch Barbara run her away again?" Haley goes "Jack, she left town, and my Grandma's not a bitch, and you should really put down that bottle and go be there for your family." Jack yells at Haley "Shut up! I only want one thing." Jack looks at Haley, as Haley grows uncomfortable, as Jack looks his Daughter In Law up and down. Meanwhile back at Loma Vista Hospital of Downtown, the Doctor walks inside, as he admits Lorenzo Jr, and tells Lena, Nikki, and Nate "He has a concussion, broken ribs, and good thing he was kept awake, because hadn't, he may be dead or in a coma. We're going to monitor him." Nikki looks at her Mother, and Nate, and tells them "I'm going to see my Husband!" Nikki rushes out. Meanwhile at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo walks Dina into his bedroom, as he tells her "Let me get Jack Miller off your mind." Lorenzo undresses Dina, as she undresses Lorenzo, and he knocks her onto the bed, as they begin to have sex. Meanwhile at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Dr.Nolan walks outside, as Sarah's family turns to him, as he takes a deep breath, and silence fills the air, as Tilly asks "How is she?" Randi stands by Blake, as Kate, Felicia, J.R., and Jenny comforts Tilly, as Dr.Nolan tells them "We did remove the bullet, but the next 48 hours will be pivotal. Not one inch closer, she'd been dead." Back at Sullivan's River Casino, William sits inside Elizabeth's Suite, as he asks a housekeeper "Where did she go?" The housekeeper goes "I have no idea Mr.Thomas. Said she wanted to go down to the office and look around." Inside Lena's office, Tyrone walks inside, as he sees the security cameras on, and his Mother's desk chair turned, as he pleads to his Mother "I had nothing to do with it Mama. I'm serious! I didn't have my Nephew beaten." Silence builds, as Tyrone yells "Mama! I didn't.." The chair flies around, as Elizabeth holds a pistol, and Tyrone screams "OH SHIT!" Elizabeth angrily glares at Tyrone, and goes "Your ass is mine, make one move thug, and I'll shoot you dead and don't even try." Tyrone freezes, as Elizabeth holds the pistol, and warns Tyrone "So bitch, ready to be Bubba's bunk mate?"

   At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo faces the window, as he puts on this clothes, as does Dina, as there's silence inside Lorenzo's office, as Lorenzo shakes his head with disbelief, and sadness. At Thomas Auto, William sits inside his office, as his phone rings, and he answers as Elizabeth, sitting inside her Suite at the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino tells her Husband "I've got everything under control, and I'm going to make damn sure you, or our Son harms Junior, or Loren." William sighs to his Wife "It's in your hands, whatever you want to do." Elizabeth tells her Husband "I think I'm going to visit our Son."

    In Ann's office at Thomas Holdings, Ann is alone in her office, as she hangs up the phone with her Daughter, Jenny, as Jack walks inside Ann's office, as Ann goes "Shouldn't you be at the hospital?" Jack yells, slamming the door "Ann Thomas, you took everything I had, and destroyed me. You are twisted, and Randi was right about you." Ann sits back, and asks her now Ex-Husband "Didn't like your present Jackie? Ahh... Well I have some shopping in order for my new home, to start anew, and you can do the same. Live off Felicia, or Tilly, or Randi. And don't start a damn war with my family over the divorce." Jack tells his Ex-Wife "You have declared it! You turned our children against me, and Ann, we were each other's first loves. We share half a lifetime together." Ann sighs "I'm divorced from you for good this time, and the way you are talking makes me extremely uneasy, like you are guilty of something, like the night you had sex with Randi when she seduced you, and got pregnant, causing a huge fight." Jack looks at Ann, and tells her "Can't you overlook the past?" Ann shakes her head, and puts on her fur coat, and tells her Ex-Husband "Go back home now, because I have something to do, and you need to play Daddy. Bye Jackass." Ann struts out, and speaks to a guard, as Jack watches on, and the guard tells Jack "You have to leave premises sir." Jack goes "I am. But I'll be back!"

Tilly is overwhelmed with shock, and fear, as she and Kate falls to Sarah's side, as Randi aims at Scarlet, and in a calculating tone, tells her "You had Jack, you had Clint, you nearly killed my Daughter, and now hurt my Granddaughter. Time for me to take your ass out Madam Scarlet." Scarlet aims her pistol at Randi, as Blake rushes over to Sarah's side, as Scarlet's gun points down, and Tilly cries, stroking Sarah's face "Stay with me Sarah. Please stay with me." Scarlet asks Tilly "Are you really pathetic. Issac Blair raped you, and I knew about it, because he and I had a relationship." The paramedics, and the Loma Vista Police Department arrives, as they walk inside, and Police Commissioner, Phillip Mason, yells at Scarlet "After all these years, you are about to get what's been coming for you, and I'll make damn sure I'm paid also for our Daughter!"

William arrives, as he tells his Sister "Jack is trying to start a war with us." Barbara is silent, and looks at her Brother, and tells him "Scarlet knows." William asks "Knows what?" Barbara looks down, as William sighs "Oh. Mama must have said something to her or Daddy, neither of them liked her after she quit school and started working the streets." Barbara cries "I made a mistake William, and Sandi knows, and I'm going to make her leave town." William asks "And what exactly are you planning?" Barbara tells him "I spoke to Commissioner Phillip Mason, and Scarlet will follow suit, I will tell her the truth, and see what I can do." William tells his Sister "I'll help you. Don't worry." Sandi meanwhile walks inside, as William and Barbara hugs, and Barbara walks her Brother to the door, as she locks it, and turns to Sandi, and pulls out a pistol, and asks "Remember my promise? Well time to pay my debt." Barbara aims at Sandi, as she asks "What's wrong with you? Scarlet knows, live with it." Barbara snaps "You run that damn mouth there girl, you will let something out that needs to stay where it belongs! Now go pack your suitcase, and I'll get you a plane ticket for wherever you want to go." Sandi goes "Adam's Landing." Barbara walks over, and gets on the computer, as she tells Sandi "It's best you leave before I get very angry, you have pushed it with me. And I have nothing to lose at my age." Sandi quips "You are a Granny." Barbara snaps "Grandmother." Sandi tells Barbara "I've got a friend down there I'm seeing, and he's been taking care of me. A legend." Barbara sighs "And who gives a shit? Not me." Barbara clicks the mouse, and as Sandi's plane ticket's printed, tells her "Matt has done well without you before, and he and Haley will be fine now." Sandi is silent, as Barbara snaps "Start packing, plane leaves in an hour." Sandi heads upstairs, and yells "You win." Barbara goes "Yes I do bitch."

Inside the Casino, Lena and Sayyid sits inside her office, as Lena tells him "So when will Eve and Keith arrive in town?" Sayyid tells her "Keith's catching a later flight, Eve's on her way." Lena tells him "It will make this place lots of money." Sayyid nods in agreement, and tells Lena "You are amazing. How strong you are." Lena quips "I've grown up hard, so I know how to survive. Was a single Mother to Tyrone and Nicole. Seen the man I love die before my eyes. It messed with me, but I overcame it." Lena asks Sayyid "So are you going to speak to Lorenzo, and me to Nikki, and try to get them back together. We got some time before Eve arrives into town." Sayyid nods, and Lena heads home, as Sayyid makes a phone call to Lorenzo, but gets no response.

J.R. tells his Mother "Dad's already vowing revenge, and he and Uncle William got into a fight earlier." Ann quips "Typical Jack-ass." Jenny asks her Mother "So since you've done everything regarding Aunt Scarlet..." Ann tells her Daughter, Son, and Nephew "She's going to get what's been waiting for her. Likely getting it as we speak, the perfect ending of the whore who I had the saddest lie to ever tell..." Jenny asks her Mother "What lie were you forced to tell?" Ann looks at everyone, as Matt gets suspicious, and Ann looks at Matt, and tells him "Scarlet's your Oldest Sister." Matt is silent, as he responds, in shock "I never had any idea. Just remember Mamaw and Papaw's adoption jokes as a boy." Ann tells everyone in the room the story, as shock fills the room. Meanwhile at the Loma Vista Police Department, Scarlet's sitting at a desk, as Phillip walks inside, and tells Scarlet "I hope you've gotten an attorney. I'll gladly call my Brother to send you to prison. You also have back child support to our Daughter." Scarlet yells "She's grown!" Phillip asks "Remember the last time you talked to her?" Scarlet looks at Phillip and snarls "I was trying to protect my Son." Phillip looks at Scarlet, and yells "You were protecting you. You are such a selfish whore Scarlet Thomas. You make me sick." Scarlet yells back "I've heard enough, just take me back to a cell." Phillip calls an officer inside, as Scarlet's escorted to a cell, as Phillip sends Lacey Mason, his Daughter with Scarlet, a text that reads "Your Mother's in custody." At the Benjamin Lodge, Dina is inside her room, as she packs her things, as there's a knock, and Dina finds Jack on the other side, and asks "Where's Scarlet?"

But sadly we are on different sides when it comes to Junior." Nikki asks "What if we focus on us, and not worry about his personal life?" Lorenzo sighs "Not possible Nikki. If you support his disrespect, then it will destroy us. I disown him." Nikki boldly, and tearfully responds "I don't know what has happened to you since Elizabeth has died, but I don't like the man you are turning to, an evil, cold-hearted bastard." At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Elizabeth stands outside, as Sayyid pulls up, and asks Elizabeth, who he doesn't know "May I help you?" Elizabeth goes "I guess who I came to see isn't here, or the wrong address." Elizabeth leaves, as Sayyid watches her, as he says to himself "She looks familiar." In Lena's Office at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena is inside, as Nate walks in and asks "Have you heard from Lorenzo Jr? I'm worried about him." Nate tells Lorenzo Jr's Grandmother of the pills, and she asks "He isn't in his Suite?" Nate responds "No. He left." In a warehouse in the roughest area of Loma Vista, Sni-Bar, Lorenzo Jr is surrounded by many men, as Tyrone yells at the others "Teach the little gay princess what it is to be a man."

   It's the next morning in Loma Vista, and at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo walks downstairs, as he's silent, and hangs up the phone, with a look of fulfillment, as he heads to Thomas Holdings. At Lena's Loft, Lena, Nikki, Tyrone, and Sayyid sits in the kitchen, as Lena has cooked breakfast, and Lena looks over to her Daughter, and tells her "Cheer up baby girl. He's just as sad as you are. The two of you need to figure out a way to love each other despite Little L's huge change." Tyrone starts to speak, before Lena tells her Son "Don't damn start. I got that damn paddle my Grandmama gave me!" Sayyid laughs "Paddle. Damn woman, you are quite the boss! I'm scared." Lena laughs "Maybe because I am the boss, and proud to come from the ghetto to living here in Downtown Loma Vista. Lorenzo and his Mother helped us, and he fell in love with my Daughter, and she fell in love with him, and it's forever love, real love." Nikki looks at her Mother, as she gets emotional, and Lena opens her arms, and holds her Daughter in her arms, and whispering "The two of you belong together my baby."

William asks his Grandson "So you want to become a woman?" Lorenzo Jr grows nervous, as William tells his Grandson "I can't accept this Junior. You are a Thomas, and the future." Lorenzo Jr yells "If you don't like my choice, then screw you too.." William glares at Lorenzo Jr, and warns him "Don't test me or I'll whoop your ass!" Lorenzo Jr yells at his Grandfather "Leave me the hell alone!" William heads out, as he yells "Don't worry about that! My Grandson's dead to me!" Lorenzo Jr screams, as William heads to the elevator, and stopped, as they ask "What in the hell is wrong with you?" William looks at the person, and sighs "It's all yours. You have to do something." The other person responds "I certainly will!" The elevator doors open, as William leaves for Thomas Auto, as the other person stands in the hallway, looking at the door to Lorenzo Jr's Suite.
     At Thomas Holdings, Ann sits inside her office, as she pulls out a checkbook, and tells Sandi "Here's a nice payoff for keeping me informed on Scar." Ann writes Sandi a $500,000 check and hands it to her, and tells Sandi "Now just sit back, and wait for the sky to fall." Sandi walks out, as she bumps into Randi, Tilly, and Felicia, as Randi asks Sandi "Why are you here?" Sandi laughs "Thank me later. Time to go down to the casino and double up!" Sandi leaves, as Randi, Tilly, and Felicia walk inside Ann's office, as she tells them "You have met the one that has helped me keep track of Scar. At one time they were friends, and have worked together for years, silent partners in prostitution." All are shocked, as Ann continues "So now what's the plan? Kill the whore? Or make Scarlet leave town in some way? I can make one phone call, and she's dead." Randi goes "Phone call." Tilly looks around, as she pulls out her pistol, and in a cold tone, filled with anger, replies "This is my job to do, and I'm going to do it now!" Tilly gets up, and leaves, as Felicia asks her Mother "Did she drive you here?" Randi shakes her head, responding "She was running late when I finished breakfast, and spent some quiet time with Blake. Poor kid." Ann agrees with Randi, as Felicia asks her Mother, and now Ex-Stepmother, as Ann's divorce to Jack has been finalized "Do you think she could..." Randi tells her Daughter "She loves her Girls, and she has a killer instinct if her Daughters are threatened." Ann responds "And I respect that." Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Sarah and Kate catch up, as Blake tells them "I am so sorry for the shit my Mom has put your family through." Sarah reminds Blake "It's not your fault. Just be thankful for your Aunts and family." Blake asks Kate "So my Mom threatened to kill you if you returned home?" Kate responds "Yes. She told me she would deliver me in a body bag." Sarah looks at her Boyfriend, as Blake's horrified, and Sarah tells everyone "The bitch has to be stopped. She's already hurt us enough. Ann is nothing compared to her." Blake sighs "Aunt Ann is on our side." Sarah goes "For now. Then back to the war." Kate gets up to head to her bedroom, as the doorbell rings, and Kate walks to the door, where Scarlet stands, and grabs Kate by the neck, and pulls out her pistol, as she locks the door, and aims at her Son, and Sarah, and then sticks the pistol to Kate's head, and asks "So Sarah, you first, or your whore of a Sister? Like yourself." Blake yells at his Mother "Go to hell! Get out of here before I call the police on you." Scarlet looks at her Son, and tells him "You made a bad choice picking Sarah Blair, rape baby. Meet your soon to die Sister Son." Blake yells "What!!!" Sarah also asks with anger "Kate is Blake's Sister?" Scarlet laughs "Yes with Clint. He was quite a sex addict, and had a one nighter with whoring Tilly Nightingale." Scarlet pushes Kate towards Blake and Sarah, and holds them at gunpoint, as Scarlet looks at Sarah and Kate, and asks "So who wants to die? Or should you two mistakes die together?"
    Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Barbara sits inside with Haley, as she tells her Granddaughter "I am shocked that Sandi would help everyone out and find out the real truth regarding Scarlet. I knew she hadn't changed, but really wanted to believe she did. Ann played a part, and it's going to get nasty I fear." Haley sighs "I heard the story before." Barbara goes "It's something that never needs to happen again." At Thomas Auto, Matt, and J.R. welcomes Jenny inside her office, as J.R. tells his Sister "Glad to have you home." Matt tells his Cousins "It's great to have all of us together again. The gang of three, and now four." Jack walks inside, with Luke, and a police officer, as Jack hands the deed of Miller Auto Company over to his Daughter, and tells them with disgust "All of you make me sick. And I hope William loses his ass over it. The Thomas family can burn in hell." Luke sighs "Enough Jack." Luke and the Police Officer walks out, as Jenny tells her Cousins "Mama is serious I think now, and sending a message and she's just like Mamaw." Matt quips "Except Mamaw didn't color her hair every other month, and wear furs." Matt quips "Aunt Ann and Lorenzo are the closest we really have to Mamaw and Papaw Thomas." Everyone nods in agreement, as Jenny looks at the deed and smiles "Uncle William will be so happy."
    At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo arrives, and walks inside his Aunt's office, and Ann hugs her Nephew, as she tells him with excitement "Scar's about to regret her mistakes." Randi nods with a smile, as Felicia looks concerned as she sighs with fear "I think Tilly's going to kill that bitch." Lorenzo smiles "One good thing about life." Ann holds onto her Nephew, and tells Randi and Felicia "Poor baby's been through hell with his crazy Son." Felicia tells her Ex-Step Mother and Cousin "I support Lorenzo Jr's decision." Randi sighs "Umm, I don't know." Lorenzo tells them "Remember Grandma Duncan had a mean streak in her, she ran the Duncan family, and then my Mama took over until she sadly passed away." Randi sighs "Yep." Felicia tells everyone "I have a horrible feeling." Ann asks Felicia "What is it?" Felicia responds "I can't explain it." Lorenzo gets his phone, as he calls Tyrone, and Ann assures Randi and Felicia "We're about to make sure Tilly's taken care of, and our families."
    At Lena's Loft, Nikki sits inside, as she's alone, and there's a knock at the door, as Nikki gets up to answer the door to see her Son, and hugs him, and asks Lorenzo Jr "How are you baby?" Lorenzo Jr starts to cry, and Nikki holds her Son tightly in her arms, as she too cries "Me too." At Sullivan's River Casino, Lena sits inside her office, with Tyrone, as Sayyid stands in the hallway on the phone, as Lena tells her Son "I am really serious about backing off of Lorenzo Jr's choice. I mean it damnit! It's tearing everyone apart!" Tyrone yells "I don't want no gay family members Mama!" Lena screams "Accept it or keep your damn mouth shut!" Sayyid walks inside with a smile, as he looks at Tyrone, and tells him "Lorenzo wants you over at Randi Camden's home." Tyrone walks out, as Sayyid walks up to Lena, as Lena asks him "What are you concocting in your head Sayyid Ross?" Sayyid asks Lena "Remember your lifelong dream? Meeting Eve Mathis?" Lena gets giddy, as she asks "Is she going to open up our first performance in the Concert Hall? And your Oldest Son like you said when we met awhile back?" Sayyid nods, and beams with joy "I miss Keith so much, and River, and Eve. River and I are close, and I miss my Grandson too." Lena asks "What about Eve? Do you still feel for her?" Sayyid tells Lena "I do because of River, and her having my Grandson that was killed. She and I have been through hell over the years, but we've remained close. But you have my heart." Lena smiles "Good, otherwise there'd be trouble." Sayyid kisses Lena, as he holds her in his arms.
    Back at Randi's Mansion, Scarlet keeps his pistol aimed at Sarah, Blake, and Kate, as she holds onto her Sister, and Scarlet asks her Son "So are you attractive to Tilly Miller #2?" Blake screams "Just damn stop it and leave us alone Mom!" Sarah warns Scarlet "My opinion is you should die for Tilly's sake." Sarah screams at Scarlet, as Kate cries and trembles "I will make you regret this, and every bad thing you did to my family, and to Blake!" Scarlet snaps "I run a business, and people can't just up and quit, and disobey the boss! So they have to pay for that with their life!" Blake pulls out a phone, and tells his Mother "You're finished Mom. I'm calling.." Scarlet shoots a warning shot, as she snaps at her Son in a bold, hateful tone "You are as much to blame as me you bastard. I never wanted you. All I wanted was Lacey." Blake screams "Screw you! Screw you Whore!" Outside, Tyrone has arrived, and holds a pistol, as he stands in front of the front door quietly, as he sees a car pull into the driveway, and stops, as Tilly walks out, holding her pistol, and cocks it, as she looks at Tyrone, and asks "Tilly Miller?" Tilly reaches for the doorknob, and Tyrone tells her "I'm following you due to your Mother, and Sister's request, and you may need it." Tilly thanks him, and they open the door."
    Meanwhile at Thomas Auto, William arrives, as Jenny tells her Uncle "Here's Miller Auto's deed, and now you are the sole owner." William tells Jenny, and also looking at J.R. and Matt, as he tells his Niece and Nephews "I'm giving each of you 15%." William adds "The Miller Auto dealerships will be split, and be run by J.R., and Jenny if she doesn't want to go Thomas Holdings." Jenny hugs her Uncle, and tells him "I'd be honored to help you Uncle William." William sighs with relief "Well besides seeing Junior this morning, today's been damn good to me, and all of us." The door opens as Jack walks inside, and looks at William, with a look of loss, and tells him "I bet you helped her destroy me Junior." J.R. and Jenny's eyes grow red, as William looks at his Ex-Brother In Law, and warns him "Get out of my headquarters you bastard." Jack punches William, as William pushes Jack to the ground, and pulls out his pistol, and asks Jack "Do you really want to fight me? I wouldn't have a damn problem if I had to kill you. You know that also you sorry son of a bitch. The way you've hurt my Sister, you have been on my hit list for years Jackie." Matt, J.R., and Jenny tries to break up the fight, as J.R. yells at his Father "Leave or go to jail Dad." William gets up, as Jack tells everyone "Ann destroyed everything I earned, and stole my family's legacy.." William snarls "You didn't have shit until your Daddy died. He was the smart one." Jack yells "My Father was a normal man, unlike Senior, who had me beaten, and by your Mama." William goes "That's gone too far you asshole." William rushes at Jack, and held back by his Niece and Nephews, as Jack adds "And I had sex with Scarlet last night also William. I will get what is mine. Just wait." Jack leaves, as William laughs "He thinks he's going to get back Miller Auto and my damn company, he's damn crazy as a bat." Jenny is furious, as she yells "I can't stand him. And Mama's officially changed her last name back to Gray, but added Thomas to it. She's happy that she's away from Jack. She seems to feel better, and drinking less." William quips "With Scarlet in town, Ann's planning something else. And she gets her way."
    Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo and Ann sits together inside her office, as Randi has left, and Felicia sits inside, as Lorenzo tells them of the situation regarding Nikki and Lorenzo Jr, as Ann tells her Nephew "I'm very certain everything will work out between you and Nikki. I have a hard time accepting it too. It's alien to think a man wants to be a woman? The mood swings, hot flashes, menopause dear God." Lorenzo changes subjects, and tells his Aunt and Cousin "I got a memo on Duncan's. So why do want Felicia out of Thomas Holdings Aunt Ann?" Ann lights a cigarette, and sighs "Not for now. Maybe when she pisses me off again." Felicia asks Ann "Is that a way of saying you actually have feelings for me and Tilly?" Ann quips "I did take care of the two of you, and I don't like what's happened over the years, but if you need to know something, and need my help, I'll do it." Felicia laughs "With Madam Scarlet, you'd do anything." Ann smiles "Yes Felicia, I would. She is a disgrace." Lorenzo tells them "I got something in the works, and now going to my office." Ann hugs her Nephew, and Felicia also hugs Lorenzo, and tells him "If you need me Cousin, just give me a call, or come over for coffee." Lorenzo tells her "I may do that." Lorenzo leaves, as Felicia tells Ann "Thank you Ann." Ann tells Felicia "Today has opened my eyes to you and Tilly, and I am proud of her." Felicia walks out, in shock, as Ann takes a drag from her cigarette, and opens a small refrigerator, and pulls out a bottle of wine, and pours it in a glass, and says to herself "Mama and Daddy would be proud right now." Inside Lorenzo's office he sees someone sitting at his desk, as he goes "Although plans fell, I have got you a personal check for what you tried to do." Dina turns around, as she tells Lorenzo "Thank you very much. And let me ask you something. You look like you need some comfort." Lorenzo tells Dina "I get that from my Wife, and I miss her." Dina looks at Lorenzo, and touches his face, and kisses him, and Lorenzo stands still, and asks "How much..." Dina puts her hands on Lorenzo's shirt, and goes "Nothing at all Lorenzo Thomas."
    Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Sandi arrives, as Barbara and Haley sits inside, and Barbara looks at her Daughter In Law, and asks "So you did a noble thing? I am shocked, and glad you did the right thing." Sandi quips "$500,000 Babs. Money talks." Barbara sighs with a look of content "You earned it." Haley also tells her Grandmother "I also helped." Barbara smiles "And you are a great young lady. I always wanted a Daughter, but only had one Son, well two but he went to paradise." Haley asks "Paradise?" Barbara tells her "Heaven. Suicide. That's all we'll say about that." Sandi asks Barbara "What about Scarlet?" Barbara warns Sandi "Just because you have done one thing worth an inch of respect, you are starting to push..." Sandi looks at Haley, and tells her Daughter "Barbara's Scarlet's Mother." Barbara goes "Shut up Sandi." Sandi continues "Left her with her parents when she got pregnant in high school, and it shamed her." Barbara looks at Haley, and sighs, as she turns to Sandi, and slaps her across the face, and Barbara yells "I don't know how in the hell you know that, but that's something we will never, NEVER discuss!"
    At Sullivan's River Casino, inside Lena's office, Lena and Sayyid has sex, as the lights are dimmed, and Sayyid has smooth jazz playing in the background. At Lena's Loft, Nikki is alone, as she sits with sadness in her eyes, and has a flashback "Flashback: At Blue Ridge Center, Loma Vista's oldest mall, and owned by Lorenzo, a teenage Nikki sees a young man sitting at the fountain, with nervousness, and she goes "Lorenzo?" Lorenzo turns, and looks at Nikki, and smiles, as Elizabeth sits next to her Son, and tells Nikki "I like you already. Go have some fun, there's a sale at Emery's." Lorenzo and Nikki head off, as Elizabeth watches with a smile, as she says to herself "Love at first sight." Nikki cries to herself and feels pain, meanwhile at the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo Jr returns from the lobby, to find his room unlocked, and walks inside, as he gets scared, and suspicious, as someone walks out of the bathroom, and looks at Lorenzo Jr with silence, as Lorenzo Jr's eyes fill with tears, and asks "Am I seeing things?" Elizabeth turns to her Grandson, and goes "Come here my sweet boy, or girl." Lorenzo Jr runs to his Grandmother, and goes with shock "Are you real?" Elizabeth nods, and goes "And I will tell everyone else when the time is right, so here's what we're going to do, I'm going to help you, and pay for your surgeries and procedures, and you keep our reunion a secret. Only William knows." Lorenzo Jr nods, as Elizabeth holds him, and assures him "Mamaw's alive, and feels brand new, and I'll make damn sure you are looked after baby." At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo and Dina has sex on his couch, and at Randi's Mansion, as Tilly stands in the foyer, holding her pistol, and hiding, Scarlet moves her aim around the room, and asks Sarah and Kate, and her Son Blake "So who wants to die?" The door opens, as Randi walks inside, holding a pistol, and Scarlet turns, as Tilly comes out of hiding. Scarlet aims at Randi and Tilly, as Randi and Tilly aim at Scarlet with anger in their eyes, and rage, and Scarlet grabs one of Tilly's Daughters, and puts a gun to her head, and Tilly turns off the safety, as does Randi, and Sarah rushes at Scarlet, and shots are fired!
 
 

   

Loma Vista: Episode 13. The Wind Of Madness

   As night begins to fall in Loma Vista, Jack sits inside the den at The Bluebird Manor, as he texts his Daughter, as Felicia tells her Father "Haley should be over shortly. Ann's going to be here any minute." Jack takes a deep breath, as he reads a piece of paper, and sighs with disgust "This is too damn far Ann." The door opens, as Haley walks inside, and asks Jack "Have you found Zach yet? I got word he's in rehab somewhere in town." Jack tells her "I have a few ideas where he could be, and it's not no damn rehab facility. Lorenzo will regret it, and so will that entire family!" At Randi's Mansion, Sarah and Blake are inside the living room, as Randi, Felicia, and Tilly are inside the kitchen, as Felicia fumes "I really don't want to see that bitch. She's destroying Daddy, and I want to destroy her! She's threatening to kick me out of Thomas Holdings." Randi goes "That would result in a war she doesn't want, and I doubt Lorenzo, William, or Barbara would back her." A knock's heard at the door, as Sarah and Blake sits in the living room, and Sarah takes a deep breath, as she nudges Blake, and he answers the door, as Ann stands on the other side, and Ann hugs her Nephew, and looks at Sarah, and smiles "I didn't wear my fur. But hello Sarah." Sarah walks into the kitchen, as Ann asks Blake "Where's everyone?" Blake asks his Aunt "What's going on Aunt Ann? You are being too nice." Ann tells him "Tonight you will thank me for what I have to reveal." In the kitchen, Sarah tells her Mother, Grandmother, and Aunt "She's here." Sarah, followed by Tilly, Randi, and Felicia walks out, as they look at Ann, and Ann tells them "I'm not here to discuss Jackie, I'm here to first off, thank you all for watching over Blake, and to show you something." Ann opens her purse, as curiosity, and nervousness grows inside Randi's Mansion.
     At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo looks at his Wife, as he finally says "Welcome back Nikki." Nikki asks her Husband "Can we please come together Lorenzo over our Son?" Lorenzo responds "No. I don't support his choice. And with that, I'm going upstairs to my study for the evening. If you don't support me, then there's the door." Lorenzo heads upstairs, as Nikki starts to cry, as the door flies open, as Lorenzo Jr screams "Where's that bastard at!" Nikki looks at her Son, with rage in his eyes, as she asks "What happened Junior?" Lorenzo yells "Hey Daddy, bring your ass out of hiding!" Nikki yells "What in the hell happened!" Lorenzo stands at the top of the staircase, as he looks down, and tells his Son in a distant tone "Go back to the hotel, and sex your boyfriend, and leave us out of your draw of attention." Lorenzo Jr screams "You think hiring a whore off the street..." Nikki looks up at her Husband, as she goes "That was why you were at the Hotel at the casino?" Lorenzo sighs "I did what I felt I had to do. And I'm not sorry about it." Lorenzo Jr screams "Daddy, I am going to become a woman whether you like it or not, and I've chosen a name, Loren Elizabeth..." Lorenzo's eyes grow red, as he runs down the stairs, and slams his Son to the ground, and snarls "You make me damn sick boy. My Mama's name? No we aren't doing that unless you disappear!" Nikki yells at her Husband "Get off of him Lorenzo!" Lorenzo Jr tells his Father "I'm a gay male, and soon to become female, and you will have to live with it, and if Mamaw were here, she'd support me, and you know she would!" Lorenzo forcefully slaps his Son, and goes "No she wouldn't, and I don't, and I wish your Mother would of had an abortion if I could have looked through a crystal ball!" Nikki pushes Lorenzo away from their Son, as Nikki looks at her Husband, and warns him "You need to get over this Lorenzo, if you can't accept our Son, you can't accept me." Lorenzo looks at his Wife and Son, and tells Lorenzo Jr "Your shit's out of here, now same for you." Lorenzo Jr tells his Father "I hate our family's traditions, and I hate you now you evil bastard!" Lorenzo Jr storms out, and Lorenzo looks at his Wife, as Nikki slaps her Husband across the face, and in a disgusted tone, asks "What in the hell is wrong with you? You're turning into someone else. Not the man I fell in love with nearly 20 years ago." Lorenzo walks back upstairs, as Nikki too leaves, as Lorenzo walks into his study, and slams the door, and cries, as Nikki sits inside her car, as she prepares to leave, with tears in her eyes.
    At William's Home, William sits in the living room, as Barbara walks inside, as William asks his Sister "Do I need to call a family meeting?. I heard you earlier tearing into Sandi." Barbara tells her Brother "I would if it wasn't for Haley, otherwise, I'd do the job myself." William shakes his head, and sighs "It's been a hell of a day." Barbara sits down, and asks "What did you learn about Lorenzo and Nikki? I heard they had split up from our Sister." William looks at Barbara, and sighs "My Grandson wants to be a woman, and it's eating at Lorenzo. He's having a hard time accepting it, and..." Barbara asks "He's handling things like our Daddy I take it?" William shakes his head, as he motions to the back deck, as they walk outside, and William tells Barbara "I always had a feeling Junior was gay, but this is a little over the top. My Son's been through enough with losing his Mama, and this could cost him Nikki." Barbara responds "So she supports Junior, and Lorenzo doesn't? I'd have a hard time with it also William, but he needs somebody. Lorenzo needs to just accept it, and same for you." William holds Barbara's hand, and tells his Sister "That sounds like something Elizabeth would say." Barbara reminds him "She would accept it. She loved him so much. Remember when Nikki revealed she was pregnant?" William nods, and goes "I remember it like yesterday. Lorenzo and Nikki had to overcome a lot of shit, and I hope they can overcome this, but I don't think it will happen Barbara." Barbara hugs William, and sighs "I am having a time myself with Sandi being in town, and staying under my roof. I told her years ago to stay the hell away from Matt after Daddy slept with her, and you know she worked for Scarlet, and..." William rolls his eyes, and sighs with disgust "She called me earlier. Apparently Ann's already began threatening her." Barbara quips "One moment she's going after Randi's kids, then Scarlet arrives, and Ann becomes the spokesperson of the family." William asks Barbara "Do you think she's changed?" Barbara is silent, and answers "I don't think so William. I think she's lying, and I'm just waiting to catch her before doing anything." William asks his Sister "How's Blake's handling everything?" Barbara goes "He's moved in at Randi's. He knows about her past, and Sarah has already went after her." William quips "Scarlet deserves it. She did some unforgivable things, and if you see her, let her know to leave me the hell alone." Barbara looks at her phone, and tells William "I'm heading back home and see if the whore's there. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Barbara hugs her Brother, and leaves, as William sits on the back deck, as his phone rings, and he responds "I'll be over shortly."
     Meanwhile in a private conference room at the Benjamin Lodge, Sandi arrives, as Scarlet, and the two girls are inside, as Scarlet tells Sandi "Lock the door." Sandi does as requested, as Scarlet takes a seat, and tells Sandi "I have liquor on the bar, help yourself." Scarlet tells everyone "Ok now that we are here together, it's time to reveal my plans. I don't think I will be in town very long, and same for the rest of you, therefore we need to get moving on my plans." The young girl yells at Scarlet "I'm done with this shit Madam! I'd like to be a part of my..." Scarlet snaps "Shut the hell up, and get ready to seduce our friend, or Dina, will gladly do it!" Dina, the girl that was at the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino earlier goes "I thought I told you I was finished!" Scarlet coldly responds "Nobody's finished until I say they're finished!" Scarlet pulls out a pistol with diamonds enshrined on it, as she tells Dina, and the young girl "I own both of you, therefore both of you will follow orders, or I will off you. Remember where I come from." Dina snaps "I'm finished with the shit Scarlet!" Scarlet asks "Did you find my Nephew attractive when you met him?" Dina goes "He is very powerful." Scarlet smiles "And his marriage is falling apart over his gay Son who wants to be a tranny, and here's the perfect chance to take advantage of the situation. Trust me, I'd do it, I have before, with many men in this town." The young girl goes "If I sleep with Blake, it will destroy any chance I have of growing close to my family." Scarlet screams "Screw your family of whores you little bitch. I have unfinished business, and you just sex my Son, and then he and Sarah will be finished!" The girl yells back "I won't!" Scarlet walks over, and grabs the girl by the hair, holding the pistol, as Dina watches with disgust, as Sandi pours a shot of liquor for herself and Dina, as Scarlet snarls to the young girl "If you don't follow orders Kate, your family will meet you in a body bag!" Scarlet looks over to Dina, and tells her "And for you, go after Lorenzo, and also consider my soon to be former Brother In Law, Jack Miller, he's been with my miserable Sister for years, give him a freebie." Dina tells everyone "I'm going to my room for the evening, and call it a damn night! Dina walks out, as Kate looks at Scarlet, and tells her "I hate you. And I will expose you." Scarlet laughs "And you'll die." Kate leaves, as Scarlet turns to Sandi, and asks "I know you like young men, interested in Blake? Lorenzo?" Sandi tells Scarlet "I'm still in love with Matt." Scarlet reminds Sandi "Hasn't stopped you before." Sandi sighs "I'm off to your Sister's house for the evening, plan to sneak in when she's in bed. I'll sleep on it and get back to you." Scarlet goes "Do that. And tell Matt his Aunt Scarlet says hello." Sandi leaves, as Scarlet sits back, and quips "I'm about to destroy their asses. And enjoy every damn moment of it."
     Back at Randi's Mansion, Randi, Tilly, Felicia, Sarah, and Blake sits inside the living room, as Felicia warns Ann "If this is about you wanting to fire me, or brag about destroying my Daddy, you take your ass back home!" Tilly yells at her Sister "Shut up! Ann called me, and she's here for another reason." Ann nods "Exactly. And by the way Tilly, I'm proud you have grown some brains." Tilly is silent, as Randi asks Ann "So what's in that envelope?" Ann looks at everyone, and tells them "We all have one thing, one, thing in common, and that is my baby Sister, and the Thomas family disgrace, Scar. And what I have inside will thrill one of you, and also hurt you." Sarah yells "Just get on with it! You seem to be enjoying this." Ann sighs "Actually I don't enjoy this, but my Sister has been a whore since she was in Middle School, and she slept with Jack, slept with Victor, slept with Jack, Luke Mason..." Randi yells "So where are you going with this?" Randi opens the envelope, and goes "I found this while packing up Jackie's things, which I'll have sent to the Manor tomorrow." Ann turns to her Nephew, as she tells him "I know who's your Father, and this is legit. I had it checked years ago, and it's accurate." Randi grows frustrated, as she yells "Are you just going to keep running circles?" Ann yells "No I'm not." Ann pulls out the paper inside, and hands it to her Nephew, and Blake looks at it, and looks at Sarah, as he goes "What in the hell?" Sarah reads along with Blake, as she's mortified, and turns to her Grandmother, as Ann tells Randi "Scarlet had a one night stand with Clint, and she got pregnant, and 9 months later, comes Blake Camden, who she changed the last name to Walton, to keep you from knowing." Randi is silent, as Felicia and Tilly ask Ann "Is this real, or forged to hurt us?" Ann responds with empathy "I think you should know the truth. And since Scar's been in town, I've had her watched by an inside source, and Tilly, I found your Daughter." Tilly's eyes widen, and goes "Katherine?" Ann nods, and goes "Yes. She's working for Scar, and she wants out, but Scar won't allow it, and she's grown cold, likely due to the change, but nonetheless, she's in town, and at the Benjamin Lodge near Bannister Tower. Scar's got some plans, and hold on a minute." Ann gets a text, and goes "That was my inside source. She's planning something, and meet me tomorrow at my office, all of you, and we'll discuss action." Randi cries, as she looks at Blake, and goes "You're my Step-Son." Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah consoles Randi, as Ann tells her Nephew "Just stay here, and be here for Sarah and her family. I'm heading home, and I'm making a few phone calls tonight, so we are all on the same page?" Everyone nods, as Ann leaves, and Randi cries "I don't know what to think. Clint slept with Scarlet Thomas?" Tilly cries "My little girl's in town and I'm not about to have her go through what I had to endure." Felicia tells everyone in the room "I can't believe what I just seen. Ann's on our side." Blake tells them "She's not a bad person. And my Mom only cares about herself. She deserves whatever Aunt Ann has in mind." Tilly pulls out her pistol, and in a distant tone, responds "Ann's likely thinking the same thing I am." Meanwhile Randi heads to her bedroom, where she opens a drawer, and pulls out a pistol, and looks at a picture of her Husband, and screams "YOU BASTARD!", throwing Clint's picture across the room as rage fills up inside her, as Randi says to herself "Payback time bitch!"
    As the rain begins to fall in Loma Vista, and night's come, at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo lights a blunt, as he sits outside on the balcony to his study, as he shakes his head with confusion, as he says to himself "I don't know what to do anymore." Lorenzo makes a phone call to his Father, but gets no answer. At Lena's Loft, Nikki walks inside, as Tyrone sits on the couch, and smokes a blunt, and Nikki tells her Brother "Before you say a damn word, just shut your ass up!" Nikki heads to the guest room, as she cries for her family. At the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo Jr and Nate lays together in his suite, as Nate consoles him, as Lorenzo Jr tells Nate "I hate myself." Nate assures Lorenzo Jr "Everything will work out." Lorenzo Jr pulls out a bottle of pills, and tells Nate, as Nate grows scared for his boyfriend "I think Daddy would be happier if I killed myself instead." Meanwhile upstairs, on the top floor of the Hotel, William gets off the elevator, as he walks inside a private suite, and someone points to the bed, as William sighs "I think it's almost time." They respond "I think so too." At the Benjamin Lodge, Scarlet sits inside her room, as there's a knock at the door, and Scarlet answers, as Jack stands on the other side, and Scarlet tells Jack "What's brought you down here?" Jack looks at Scarlet, and goes "You called, and here I am." Scarlet tears off Jack's shirt, and throws him onto the bed, as they begin to have sex, as Jack's phone rings, but the volume's muted. Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann returns, as Jenny asks her Mother "So where have you been Mama?" Ann looks at her Daughter, and tells her "I think you and J.R. should be there for your other siblings. I told them the truth tonight. And I did the right thing." Jenny looks at her Mother, and goes "Sometimes you surprise me Mama." Ann hugs her Daughter, and tells her "Baby, I don't want to see Scar go for another round of destruction, and my Mama and Daddy aren't here, nor is Mr. and Mrs.Duncan, so I have to take charge." Felicia meanwhile returns to the Bluebird Manor, as the house is silent, and finds a letter from her Father, and Felicia shakes her head with anger in her eyes, as she says to herself "You are really a bastard Daddy." Back at Randi's Mansion meanwhile, Randi lays in her bed, as she cries herself to sleep after learning of her deceased Husband's infidelity, meanwhile outside, Sarah and Blake smokes a joint together, and Sarah asks her Boyfriend "Are you ok?" Blake sighs with sadness, as he begins to cry "Mom robbed me of any chance of meeting my Dad, and I won't forgive her for it." Sarah puts out the joint, and holds him in her arms, as he cries. Meanwhile outside Randi's Mansion, Kate stands outside, as Tilly sits on the front porch, and Tilly notices Kate, as she walks down the sidewalk to the road, as she looks at her youngest Daughter, and asks "Are you..." Kate cries "Mommy!" Tilly holds her Daughter tightly, as they have a tearful reunion.
   
   
   

Loma Vista: Episode 12. Implosions

   At the Benjamin Lodge, down the street from Bannister Tower, Scarlet sits in her room, as she looks at the woman, as the young girl asks Scarlet "I thought I told you I wanted out of the business?" Scarlet goes "How about you do as I say, and have sex with Blake. And then it'll be over for you." The girl tells her "Let me think about this." Scarlet laughs "You will meet Randi, Tilly, Sarah..." The girl yells "I know damnit!" Scarlet snaps "Don't you dare yell at me you whore! I own you, and I better collect!" The girl walks out, as Haley stands outside, and watches the girl walk out, as she gasps "Oh my God, that's her!" Haley gets an eerie feeling as she returns to Barbara's Home, as the girl sits inside her car, and cries. Inside Scarlet's Room, Scarlet's phone rings, as she answers, and Ann, sitting in The President's Room, tells her Youngest Sister "Come over and have a drink with me Scar." Scarlet sighs with disgust "I hate that name." Ann quips "And I hate you also, but come over here. I want to have a talk with you." Scarlet responds "And I really want to talk to you Ann. Have me a drink ready." Ann responds "I will Scar, or would harlot work?" Scarlet hangs up, and leaves, as at The President's Room, Ann sits alone, as she looks at her phone "Randi's spawns may want to thank me with what I have in mind." Ann takes a drink, and lights a cigarette, as she opens her purse, and puts on a diamond ring, passed to her from her Mother.
    At the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo Jr settles inside his suite, as there's a knock at the door, and Lorenzo Jr answers, as Nate stands on the other side, and asks his partner "What's with the bruise? Your Father again?" Lorenzo Jr gets emotional, and cries "He hates me. He has told me I should change my name." Nate sighs "What an asshole. Should I fear for my life since he apparently will be gunning for me?" Lorenzo Jr tells Nate, holding his hand "My Mom's trying her best to protect me, and I wouldn't fear my Daddy too much. He has enough things to keep him occupied." Nate's phone goes off, as he tells Lorenzo Jr "I need to return to the lobby. I'll stay here with you." Lorenzo Jr kisses Nate, as Nate leaves, and Lorenzo Jr pulls out a picture of his Grandmother, and sighs with sadness "If you were here, maybe you could talk some sense into Daddy. You were the only one who could get through to him." Outside Lorenzo Jr's room, a girl stands outside the door, as she gets a text, and responds "I'm ready." Lorenzo, sitting inside his office at Thomas Holdings, texts back "Keep me updated." The girl ties up her robe, and knocks on Lorenzo Jr's door, as Lorenzo Jr sits inside, with fear in his eyes, as the girl stands on the other side, as she throws off her robe, as Lorenzo Jr answers, and the girl starts to cry, as Lorenzo Jr asks "What's wrong? Are you ok?" The girl responds "No, I need help. My boyfriend's trying to kill me." Lorenzo Jr lets the girl inside, and she locks the door, as she looks at Lorenzo Jr, and drops her robe, revealing her naked body, as Lorenzo Jr is horrified, and gasps "Are you a prostitute? The girl pushes Lorenzo Jr onto the bed, and seductively goes "I belong to you Lorenzo Thomas Jr, all yours."
   Meanwhile at Thomas Auto, Matt and Sandi puts on their clothes inside his office, as Barbara faces the door, and turns away and asks "Are the two of you dressed?" Matt sighs "Yes we are Mama." Barbara turns around, as she glares at Sandi, and warns her Daughter In Law "I'm getting real tired of seeing you. I want you out of my house! You walk back into Loma Vista, and shake everything up, and you seem to have a damn death wish, which I can easily arrange." Matt tells his Mother "Sandi and I love each other, and we're going to be there for Haley." Barbara tells her Son "That's ok to be there for her, and I'll be there..." Sandi snaps "I don't want Haley around you Babs. And where was Granny when Haley was getting the shit knocked out of her by Zach Miller? Huh?" Barbara yells "I didn't even know she was related to me you scheming whore!" Outside, William arrives, as J.R. tells his Uncle, as William hears his Sister inside Matt's office, and a break of glass "Aunt Barbara just broke up the sex party in Matt's office." William takes a deep breath, and tells his Nephew "Well J.R., hearing that fight, I think I'm going to find Lorenzo." J.R. asks "So haven't found him yet to discuss Junior?" William's phone rings, as he tells J.R. "Got your keys? I need to go, and you lock up. Make sure my Sister doesn't harm Sandi." J.R. quips "I'm staying the hell out of that fight." William goes "Me too J.R.." William leaves, as J.R. turns towards his Cousin's office, as inside, things grow more heated, as Sandi asks Barbara "So you give Madam Scarlet a free pass, and you still hate the woman that brought you a Grandchild?" Barbara yells "Madam Scarlet, do you work for her. Bitch, I'm not dumb, sure as hell ain't senile, and I want you out of my house tonight, so pack your damn bags!" Matt tries to reason with his Mother, and Barbara warns her Son "If you don't like it Matt, then go stay with her! Sandi's not to return on my property if she doesn't want me to shoot her!" Barbara storms out, as Sandi follows, and smiles, and yells "I'm staying with my Husband Babs." Barbara turns, and snarls "You are pushing it with me. You really are, and while you're here ask Matt about his Daddy, and then consider what can happen to you!" Barbara leaves, as Sandi walks back inside Matt's office, and tells her Husband "Your Mother kicked us out." Matt sighs "Shit. Look, don't push her, she's at the age.." Sandi asks "Need some nursing home brochures?" Matt snaps "Respect my Mama!" Sandi yells "No! She hates me, feeling's mutral, and I have some things to do!" Sandi leaves, as Matt sits inside his office, as he has a thought, and shakes his head, as doubt fills his eyes.
    At Sullivan's River Casino, Lena walks inside Ernest's Kitchen, as Nikki's with her Mother, as a yell's heard across the restaurant, as Lena turns to see Randi, Tilly, and Felicia, as Nikki tells her Mother, as she glares over at Randi "Mama..." Lena sighs to her Daughter with disgust "I can't believe that bitch is here. Elizabeth was overjoyed the day she got that damn bar in town." Sayyid walks inside, as he sits down with Lena and Nikki, and tells them "Tyrone's in Downtown." Nikki asks "Did you tell my Brother I'm going to send his ass back to Lexington?" Lena snaps "Nobody's going back to prison Nicole so drop it!" Meanwhile, Randi sits at her table, as she tells her Daughters "Nikki's with her Mama, and where's Lorenzo?" Felicia tells her Mother "Apparently from what I understand, they split up over Junior." Randi asks 'Did he come out of the closet finally?" Tilly meanwhile is silent, with anger in her eyes, as Felicia asks her Sister "Still thinking about Scarlet?" Randi sighs "She is. I thought coming down here would distract her." Tilly responds in a distant tone "I just can't believe that whore has the guts to return to town after all these years like she's innocent." Felicia assures her Sister "Not very many people are happy she's back in town. Lorenzo isn't, and Uncle William hasn't discussed her." Randi meanwhile looks over at Lena's table, and asks Felicia "So Lena's dating a hitman I notice? Sayyid Ross. King Of The Streets." As Tilly is silent, Felicia warns her Mother "I know how you feel about Lena and Nikki..." Randi gets up, as she smiles "I'm going to say hello and congratulate them." Felicia rolls her eyes, and jokes with Tilly "We may need a strong shot." Tilly, in a cold tone responds "I got a shot ready Felicia. And it's for Scarlet." Felicia asks 'What's bothering you so much? You are beginning to scare me." Tilly tells her Sister what she learned earlier, as Felicia gasps, and asks "Are you sure?" Tilly nods, and adds "She's not hurting me again, or my family. I'm going to make damn sure of that!" Meanwhile, as Lena, Nikki, and Sayyid prepares to have dinner, Randi walks over, and goes "Well look who's here? How are you doing running my Mama's casino Lena? Giving money to this thug?" Nikki snaps "Go back to your damn table Randi. You are the last person I care to see right now." Randi asks "Ashamed that your Son's going to destroy what you have with my Nephew?" Lena asks Randi "Don't you have something else to do, and by the way, Elizabeth and I were closer than she was with you." Randi warns Lena "Now that I see you with the hoodrat, I think I may have to check on things more often." Lena yells "You ain't got to check on shit bitch! I have things under control, now go take your old ass back over to your table before I beat your ass!" Randi looks at Nikki, and goes "Tell Lorenzo Jr I support his decision. He does need one family that supports him." Sayyid responds "I'd be more concerned about Zach. Where is he? Is he breathing..." Randi walks away, as Lena yells "Good to see you too you whore!" Randi ignores Lena, as she returns to her table, and tells Felicia and Tilly "Let's go. I don't want to be around Ms.Houston and her snooty Daughter, and her hitman." Felicia asks "Did he just say something about Zach?" Randi yells "LET'S GO!" Felicia leaves a tip on the table, as they leave, as Lena watches on, and looks at her Daughter and boyfriend, and sighs "Randi Camden doesn't want any of me. She's a..." Nikki goes "As Elizabeth would say, a pain in the ass?" Lena smiles, as she nods, and adds "And a homewrecker baby girl."
   At Randi's Mansion, Blake and Sarah lays in her bed, as they are naked after having sex, and Sarah assures Blake "You can stay here so you don't have to see Scarlet." Blake looks at Sarah, and tells her with tears "I can't believe my Mom is the infamous whore of Loma Vista. She never told me anything growing up, and never even told me who's my Father. I am ready to know." Sarah asks Blake "Do you have any leads?" Blake sighs "I don't. I am thinking of talking to my family to see what I can find out." Sarah looks at Blake, as she sees tears in his eyes, as Blake starts to cry, and tells Sarah "My Mom's never been there for me. As soon as I turned 10 years old, she sent me here, and only thing I'd get would be a christmas card." Sarah rolls her eyes, as she assures Blake "I am sure you will find out the truth." Blake looks at Sarah with doubt, as she strokes his face, and kisses him, as they get under the covers, and they get back to having sex, as they're alone. At Randi's Place, Haley has arrived, as Ben sits at the bar, and asks Haley "So finalized that divorce yet Haley?" Haley looks over at Ben, and sighs "No. Zach's in rehab, but nobody knows where, and I'd like to know so I can move on with my life." Ben tells the bartender "Buy Haley a drink on me." The bartender pours Haley a drink, as Ben tells Haley "If you want to know where Zach is, I can tell you, but only under one condition, not one word to Jack." Haley asks "What do you know?" Ben goes "He's in rehab, somewhere in town, but I'm unsure where." Haley quips "You don't know where Lorenzo keeps people? You must really be obsessed with sex like Felicia says you are." Ben shrugs "I just count the money. I don't get involved in Lorenzo's dealings." Haley sighs "I wish I knew where he was so he could finalize this divorce." Ben tells Haley "Hand the papers to me, and I'll make sure Zach gets them, but don't say a word to anyone...better yet, go out with me to Paradise tonight." Haley snaps "If you can help me, fine, otherwise, I'm not interested in games!" Haley leaves, as Ben is quiet, and with a grin, goes "She's playing hard to get. I like that."
     Meanwhile at The President's Room, Scarlet arrives, as Ann sees her Sister for the first time in many years, as she goes "I almost didn't recognize you with the facelift, and your plastic surgeries." Scarlet sighs "And I see you're still the same bitch you have always been. Must be the fact Jack's divorcing you finally." Ann laughs, as she lights a cigarette "No Scar, I'm divorcing him, and you wouldn't be interested because he'll be broke and couldn't pay for your sexual talents." Scarlet snaps "Am I here to travel down memory lane with you? Can't we get along like I do with Barbara?" Ann quips "No whore we can't. You are a scar on the family Harlot." Scarlet warns her Sister "I am getting sick of the names Ann." Ann asks Scarlet "So tell me something, have you seen Randi and her little spawns yet? Met Sarah? She's with..." Scarlet yells "I know Ann! Look I have things to do instead of sitting here with you! I still haven't seen William.." Ann warns her Sister "Leave our Brother alone, and don't dare talk bad about Elizabeth. He's been through enough, you are the last damn thing he needs right now, and back to memory lane, have you told Blake yet who his Father is?" Scarlet goes "He doesn't need to know." Ann sighs "Well Scar, he will know, and he's a natural with a pistol. At least he has our family's taste for blood." Scarlet looks at her Sister, and tells her "Number one reason he was in Barbara's care!" Ann goes "So he didn't have to see you pimping out girls, and doing some whoring of your own?" Scarlet yells "Bye bitch! And you are just like my sperm donor..." Ann jumps up, and slaps her Sister, and warns Scarlet "Our Daddy was a great man, and you were a disgrace to him, Mama, and this family. The best thing you could do right now is go back to where you came from, because I may die for this, but I am actually on the spawns of Randi's side, and Randi concerning you, and I surely hope Blake disowns his whoring Mother who dumped him at his Aunt Barbara's doorstep!" Scarlet storms out, as Ann sits back, and pulls out her phone, and makes a phone call, as Tilly answers and warns her soon to be Ex-Step Mother "I'm not in the damn mood for your shit!" Ann, in a calm tone tells Tilly "I seen Scarlet, and you need to rally your family together, and keep Blake at Randi's Mansion, because he doesn't need to be around Scar." Tilly asks "Do I get the sense you hate her also?" Ann tells Tilly "I know all about the past, and I also know more, and it's time all of you know. So I'll be over soon." Ann hangs up, as she says to herself "Bye bye Scar."
     At Sullivan's River Casino meanwhile, Nikki sits inside her Mother's office, as Lena smokes a blunt, and Sayyid tells them "I need to go check on some things." Lena kisses him, as Sayyid tells Nikki "I support you, and I will try to talk to Lorenzo, but don't expect a miracle." Nikki is silent, as Sayyid leaves, and Lena passes the blunt to her Daughter, and goes "Smoke this baby girl." Nikki passes, and tells her Mother "I want to go home Mama. I want to be with my Husband and work things out." Lena asks her Daughter "Are you sure Nicole?" Nikki hugs her Mother, as she tells her "We made vows, and he will accept this." Lena goes "Good luck. You got a key to the loft." Nikki leaves, as Lena sits inside, and takes a toke, and looks at a picture of Elizabeth, and sighs "If only you were here right now." At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, as William walks inside, as he tells his Son "Well I finally found you. I heard about Junior..." Lorenzo sighs "I know Dad. It disgusts me so damn much to think he wants to be a damn woman!" William tells his Son "I am having a hard time grasping it also Son, but you can talk to me. Don't hold it all in." Lorenzo picks a photo up from his desk, as he says with sadness "Here's Junior and I with Mama. When I found out my first child would be a Son, it thrilled me, and a Son's to follow his Father. He was going to be my heir, and now.." Lorenzo starts to cry, as William walks over, and tells his Son in a gentle tone "I can't say anything to make you feel better Lorenzo, and I don't know how to accept this either, but there's always another option. There's others in our family, like Jenny that could run things, or her Daughter, Matt..." Lorenzo goes "I wanted my Son to be my successor, and I just can't accept it. Did I do something wrong?" William looks at Lorenzo, and tells him "You were a damn good Daddy to him, but don't let this ruin your marriage to Nikki." Lorenzo responds tearfully "It's already hurting our marriage. That just pours more salt into my soul knowing that my Son could destroy us." William reminds Lorenzo "The two of you have overcame many things, and the two of you will overcome this." Lorenzo is silent, as William's phone rings, and sighs "Shit. It's Scarlet." Lorenzo rolls his eyes, as William tells his Son "I'll be home if you want to come over and relax, or talk. I love you Son." Lorenzo hugs his Father, as William leaves, and Lorenzo follows behind, as he heads home.
    At Barbara's Home, Barbara returns, and has a flashback, as she opens the closet door, and pulls out a pistol, and says to herself "Sandi Newman, you're about to regret returning to town. Mark my damn words!" At Jack and Ann's Estate, Jenny sits inside, as there's a knock on the door, and Jenny opens to see her Father, as Jenny tells him "Mama's not here, and your boxes are packed." Jack takes a deep breath, and tells his Daughter "I see who's side you've chosen, and it hurts me Jenny." Jenny goes "You hurt me, my Brother, and mainly Mama, and I will never be able to overlook it, so get your things, and just leave Jack." Jack, in a disappointed tone, reminds his Daughter "I'm Dad." Jenny sighs "You were once upon a time." At the Benjamin Lodge, Scarlet walks inside her room, as she makes a phone call, and asks the girl that was there earlier "So have you found my Son?" The girl, sitting outside Randi's Place, tells Scarlet 'He isn't at her bar." Scarlet goes "Return here, and we'll discuss plan B." Scarlet hangs up, as she gets another call, from the girl inside Lorenzo Jr's Suite, as she tells her boss "I'm finished." Scarlet snaps "No you're not!" The girl yells back "I am so Madam Scarlet! I'm looking for better things...." Scarlet tells her "If you want to make a bonus, go after the Father. He won't hesitate having sex with you since his gay Son won't." The girl hangs up, as Lorenzo Jr asks the girl "So who paid you to come in here and try to seduce me?" The girl, in her robe, sighs "Your Father." Lorenzo Jr's fill with rage, as he leaves in a fury, as in the hall, someone watches on, with sadness in their eyes. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki sits inside, as she sees her Husband in the doorway. They look at each other, both silent, as neither says a word. At Randi's Mansion meanwhile, Randi and Tilly sits inside the living room, as Sarah and Blake walks out of her bedroom, as Sarah tells her Mother and Grandmother "I told Blake he could stay with us since Scarlet's in town." Tilly warns them "Ann's on her way over. Felicia should be here shortly." Randi asks Tilly "And why would we want to see her?" Tilly sighs "The only thing we can agree on, is the fact she has the same feelings towards Scarlet as we do." Felicia walks inside, as she asks "Where is the wicked bitch? I am ready to go home!" Tension fills the mansion, outside, Ann pulls up, holding an envelope, and looks at it, and takes a drag from her cigarette, as she goes "Oh Scar, they will be ready to kill you, and save our family the mess of taking you out."
