Loma Vista: Episode 16. On The Edge

   At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Tilly, Randi, and Felicia meet with Dr.Nolan in the waiting area, as he tells Sarah's family "I am at a loss of words." Tilly screams "Oh my God! NO! I killed my own Daughter....." Dr.Nolan tells Tilly "Hang on before you lose it! She's going to have to have surgery, but I'm not going to say she'll be fine." Felicia, and Randi comforts Tilly, meanwhile inside Sarah's room, Sarah's prepared for surgery, as Blake kisses her gently, and starts to cry, and Kate kisses her Sister, and Sarah's pushed out of the room, and back inside the waiting area, Dr.Nolan warns Sarah's Mother, Grandmother, and Aunt "I'm not going to tell you everything will be fine. Where the bullet is, it's going to be a risky operation." He walks out, as he heads to the OR, as Tilly looks at her Mother and Sister, and tells them with tears "If she dies, I won't ever forgive myself. I can't take this!" Randi assures her Daughter "It was a horrible accident, and you were aiming for Scarlet. You will be ok, and so will she, she's my Granddaughter." Felicia holds her Sister, silently, as Blake and Kate walk into the waiting area, and Randi holds her Step Son, as Tilly holds her Daughter.
    At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo returns home, as he has the look of sadness in his eyes, as he sits down in the living room, and pulls out his phone, and calls Dina, who sits in her room, as Jack has left, at the Benjamin Lodge "Want to come over?" Dina tells Lorenzo "Sure. Give me a few minutes." Lorenzo goes "I'll see you shortly." Lorenzo hangs up, as he is silent. At Lena's Loft, Nikki remains on the couch, as she cries for her Husband and Son, as Tyrone returns home and asks his Sister "What's up? Why are you crying?" Nikki looks at her Brother, and tells him "Everything's going away." Tyrone responds "It's because of that sissy ass freak you have for a Son, that ain't needed or wanted in the world." Nikki gets up, and slaps her Brother across the face, and screams "I've had enough of your shit, Lorenzo's shit, everybody ganging up on my Son, and his choice, and it's about to stop! Don't try me." Tyrone looks at his Sister, and quickly responds "I'm outta here. Go home." Nikki snaps "Go to hell you bastard." Tyrone walks out, as Nikki screams in hurt. At Sullivan's River Casino, Lena, Sayyid, and Nate stands outside, as they await Eve Mathis, and Keith Ross, Sayyid's Oldest Son, and legendary R&B singer, as is Eve, who became a jazz artist, and very successful, and a legend. Lena tells Sayyid "Now you promise me not to get too close with Eve while she's here." Sayyid assures Lena "I only have eyes for you." A car pulls up, and Lorenzo Jr's damaged body is thrown out as he's barely awake, and Lena runs over to her Grandson's side, and yells at Sayyid "Call 911, and call Nikki!" Sayyid pulls out his phone, as Lena holds her Grandson in her arms, as Nate cries for his boyfriend.
   Meanwhile at the Loma Vista Police Department, Barbara, Ann, and William stand inside Phillip's office, as does his oldest Brother, Luke, as he asks Scarlet's family "So what would any of you be willing to put up in order for her to go free? Your mansions? Money, stock in any of your real estate? What happened to turn Scarlet into a whore?" Barbara yells "Damnit, I want my Sister out of jail, and you need to focus on now!" Phillip snaps back "Now is yesterday, leaving my Daughter with me leaving in the night, and she wasn't a month old!" Ann quips "Scar is a whore, and I really don't give a shit what happens, because I have nothing for that sorry piece of shit, and the biggest nightmare to our family's name!" 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?"
