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."
