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.
