Was Blake the only one you preferred you bitch?" Barbara is silent, as Matt warns his Niece "Look Lacey, now's not the damn time to start! My Mama.." Lacey yells "Hey all of you, kiss my ass! And over in the other corner stands the living dead herself, Saint Elizabeth!" Felicia and Tilly stands by their Aunt, as Elizabeth asks "How's the business going out in Vegas Mama's little tramp?" Phillip yells at everyone "Stop it! Or I will run all of you out of here! Lacey's hurting..." Elizabeth looks towards her Sister In Law, and sighs "I'm sorry about this Barbara. I'm staying with William." Elizabeth looks at Lacey, and laughs "You're such a whore, and seeing Tyrone Houston's icing on the cake." Elizabeth walks out, as Felicia assures everyone "My Husband's ran into the OR to help. He's missed his work." Tilly attempts to call Randi, and the phone goes to voicemail, as Tilly tells her Sister with disgust "She's avoiding us." Felicia hugs her Sister, as she tells her "You head back to the Manor for the night.." Tilly tells Felicia "I'm supporting Sarah." Felicia assures Tilly, and Sarah as she walks over "I'm about to find Mom, and Dad, and kick the shit out of BOTH of them!" Felicia hugs her Brother, and Sister, as she tells J.R. and Jenny "Call me." J.R. nods, as Felicia storms out, as Barbara looks at everyone, as Matt, and Haley holds onto her, as Barbara cries "He didn't even know. And I made damn sure he's been loved, and taken care of." Lacey, holding onto Tyrone, as Phillip stands at the door, watching his Daughter, yells at her Grandmother "Aunt Barbara, the perfect one of the Thomas family. A cold blooded killer, abandoning her child." Matt walks over to Phillip and warns him "Do something about Lacey." Phillip motions for Lacey, as she ignores her Father, as she walks up to Barbara, and snarls hatefully "Don't expect me to ever call you Grandma you self righteous bitch." Barbara continues to cry, as Phillip and Tyrone walks Lacey away, as Matt, Haley, Sarah, J.R., Jenny, and Tilly comforts Barbara, as all await word from the Doctors on Blake's surgery.
    At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo walks inside, as Nikki asks her Husband "So long day at the office?" Lorenzo tells his Wife "I hired Sully Jackson to work at Thomas Holdings. We're making the largest merger in the history of both of our family legacies." Nikki tells her Husband "Well Lizzie's left for the Hospital, and Elizabeth told me she kicked Dad out." Lorenzo asks "Where is my Dad?" Nikki responds "Ann's. And by the way, may want to tell your Aunt Randi that she has one more time to cross me, before I mess her old ass up!" Lorenzo sits down, as he sighs with disgust "Things have went crazy." Nikki wraps her arms around her Husband, and sighs "It certainly has. Want to go up to the bedroom and play a sexy game with me?" Lorenzo smiles, and nods, as he picks Nikki up, and takes her upstairs to their bedroom, as they begin to undress each other. At The Sunset Inn, Dina lays in her bed, as she has a flashback (Earlier at the Loma Vista Jail, Dina tells Zach "Lorenzo has checked out my background, and yours, and he'll use it. I'm scared he'd have me killed to protect his marriage." Zach yells for the jailer, as he tells Dina "If I don't see you again, I will know what happened.") Dina shivers in fear, as she rubs her stomach, and there's a knock at the door, as Dina walks up to answer, and asks "Who are you?" Lizzie walks inside, as she asks "So you're the whore my Daddy was sexing up with while he and my Mama was split up over my Brother?" Dina asks with fear "Are you Lizzie Thomas?" Lizzie goes "Hell yes! And bitch I've read your files. I work at Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, and before I leave here, to go clock in, I want to make one thing completely straight with you. If you cause any pain to my Mama, I will make both of my Grandmothers look like sweet angels compared to what I have in mind. Nobody hurts my Mama, and as for Daddy, I'll handle him, but you stay the hell away from my Mama, Daddy, and my family whore. And sleep tight." Lizzie walks out, as she drives off, as Dina is silent, and another knock's at the door, as Dina takes a deep breath, and opens, and screams, as she shrieks "Scarlet!" Scarlet laughs "Great job wrecking Lorenzo's Home, and you are still such an idiot. Thought I was a Nun, please! I'm far from it, and looks like you are in some shit." Dina is silent, as Scarlet goes "I can help you, but only, if you help me." Dina asks "Can I discuss this with you tomorrow?" Scarlet responds "Yes. But if you turn me down, this won't end well. My Son's in the Hospital, and I'll be watching you." Scarlet leaves, as Dina runs over to the bed, and says to herself  "Now it's all about to come out. Oh dear God."
    At The President's Room, Sully's on the phone, as she goes "Stay the hell out of Loma Vista if you have any brains left! I left for a damn reason, and I'm not returning to what isn't home to me anymore so stop calling me!" Jack walks up, as he asks "So what brings you to Loma Vista Mrs.Hale?" Sully tells Jack "First, I'm no longer married. Second, aren't you the former owner of Miller Enterprises?" Jack attempts to sit down, as he asks Sully "What's your drink of choice?" Sully snarks "I don't drink. I had a heart transplant, so I can't. And please stand up instead. I know where this is going." Jack sighs "So you know about my divorce?" Sully nods, and goes "And you likely think that since I'm a young lady, I'll help you get inside Thomas Holdings, which I will now be a part of. Sorry Jack Miller, I'm allergic to wool." Jack tells Sully "Well then, you really are what they say in the trades." Sully ignores Jack, as he walks away, as Sully leaves money on her table, as she leaves for her Suite at Sullivan's River Casino. At the bar, Jack's phone rings, as it's Luke, who sits inside his home, as he tells Jack "I seen the photo you sent. I'm not getting involved!" Jack asks Luke "Has Ann got you whipped?" Luke boldly responds "No! My Brother's in that photo Jack. So the answer is a flat out NO!" Luke hangs up, as Jack calls Randi, as she sits inside her Mansion, as Jack tells his Ex-Wife "I think we now have one thing going for us with the photo of the Hospital." Randi responds "Hopefully it'll work. Ann's watching William's Home like a damn chihuahua, and Elizabeth busted me." Jack assures her "Don't worry about things. I'm on my way over, and you'll be comfortable. We are all we have." Randi tells him "Felicia still loves us." Jack sighs "If only she was in town." Jack and Randi hangs up, as Jack heads to his Estate. At Randi's Mansion, Randi prepares to leave, as the doorbell opens, as Randi cries "Oh, Felicia! I heard.." Felicia yells "Shut up Mother! I heard all about what has happened, and I am so pissed off right now I'm about ready to go ask Ann if she'll let me call her Mama." Randi goes "It's because of Elizabeth. Just remember that Felicia Jean Miller!" Felicia snarks "It's now Miller-Nolan. I'm married, and you are the reason for this shit. Stop using Aunt Elizabeth as your scapegoat. I side with Tilly, and get your ass together Mom!" Felicia storms out, as Randi says to herself "Well screw you too Elizabeth's pet."
    Meanwhile at Ann's Mansion, William walks out of the bathroom, as Ann tells her Brother "Well the shit's hit the damn fan down at the Hospital. Elizabeth's called and told me." William tells his Sister "Go down there if you want to Ann. I'm fine!" Ann goes "The hell you say! Elizabeth gave me strict orders, and I plan to listen to her!" William yells "Hell! I'm your Brother." Ann quietly goes "I'm more scared of Elizabeth." Ann and William heads outside, as they see Elizabeth pull up outside, as Elizabeth asks her Sister In Law "Has he sobered?" William snaps "Yes I have!" Ann quips "He's ok. We're about to drive down to the Hospital to check on things." Elizabeth tells them "Well I'm heading up the road for the night, call me if there's an update." Ann nods, as she and William gets inside her car, as they head to Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, as Elizabeth sits inside her car, and goes the opposite direction, to The Bluebird Manor, as Felicia finishes leaving a text to Martin, as she sits in the den, and takes a deep breath, as she reads over files, and comes across one, as her eyes widen, and goes "I don't ever catch a damn break." Felicia quickly goes "Take that back, Ann is retiring to part-time, but still."
    As Night has fallen on Loma Vista, at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo and Nikki makes love, as their phones are turned off, and a missed call from Lena, and Lizzie appears on Nikki's phone. At Jack's Estate, Jack walks inside, as he pulls out a bottle of wine, with two glasses, as there's a knock at the door, and Jack answers, as it's J.R., as he asks his Father "Are you seriously about to hurt my Mama again? And her family while Blake could die?" Jack tells his Son "Ann should have never crossed me with that bullshit settlement. With your Uncle staying drunk, and seeing how the Thomas rage still lives, I will get back what's mine, and when I do, remember, you and Jenny will lose." J.R. storms out, as Jack is silent, and says to himself "If only they knew what I was planning." At The Sunset Inn, Dina lays in the bed in her motel room, as she shivers in fear, as she cries "They will kill us." Meanwhile back at Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Tyrone stands inside the waiting room, as Lacey holds onto him tightly, to Phillip's dismay, as Jenny hugs her family except Lacey, as she heads to a rental home for the night, as Ann and William arrives, as Ann turns towards Lacey, and asks "Are you dating him?" Lacey snaps "Here for the Barbara pity party?" Ann slaps her Great-Niece across the face, and snaps "That's my damn Sister, and you feel blessed to have her for a Grandma. I'm sorry it's like this, but it is Lacey!" William follows Ann, as Matt, Sarah, Haley, and Tilly sits next to Barbara, as Ann and William opens their arms, as Barbara embraces her siblings, as Martin walks outside, and delivers the news, as there's silence inside the waiting area as he finishes "He will be on life support until we know he'll make a full recovery." At Sullivan's River Casino, Sully walks inside her Suite, as she makes a phone call, and tells someone "Bring my girls to town tomorrow. Nobody else! I found a home thanks to Ann Thomas Gray." At Jack's Estate, Randi arrives in a trenchcoat, as Jack takes it off, and leads his Ex-Wife to his bedroom." At The Bluebird Manor, Felicia sits inside the den, as the front door opens, and she goes "Martin?" Elizabeth goes "No Felicia, it's me. And I'll be brief. You need to find a home, because I am taking back my Mama and Daddy's Estate. Nothing against you. If you'd like, you and Martin could stay, as long as Miranda never walks onto this property. Take it or leave it." Felicia sighs "What in the hell is wrong with the two of you? All my life it's been a war!" Elizabeth heads to the door, and tells her Niece "She said the wrong thing to my Daughter In Law, done many things, and I don't forget. I got a damn lot of Jean Sullivan Duncan in my veins." Elizabeth leaves, as Felicia quips "Oh yes Aunt Elizabeth. And just alike!" At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, as Barbara's comforted by her Son, Granddaughter, Brother, Sister, Sarah, Tilly, and Phillip, as Tyrone walks out, and Lacey tells him "Come back in the morning." Tyrone responds "I will baby." Lacey and Tyrone kiss, as Tyrone heads back to Lena's Loft, as Lacey sends a text to her Mother, as Scarlet sits in her room at The Benjamin Lodge, as Scarlet responds "We got so much to work with, we'll soon have control. Barbara let me down, and she'll regret it." Meanwhile inside the filing room, Lizzie reads the files again, as she glances at her Father's DNA test, with disgust, and turns to the other one, and reads it, as Lizzie has a thought, and starts to cry, as she cries "Damnit!"
 

Loma Vista: Episode 27. The Fight Of Fights

   At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki has listened to Lizzie, as she finishes "It's hard to tell, but I am really thinking of going back and proof-reading it. Too blurry on this phone." Nikki tells her Daughter "I don't like this Lizzie. You know with your Father's family name.." Lizzie tells her Mother bluntly "I will call you, and you can see it for yourself!" Nikki sighs, as she goes "You are a damn Houston my sweet angel. Too damn much." Nikki hugs her Daughter, as they both have sad expressions in their eyes. At William's Home, William and Randi's eyes meet, as they are still, holding their glasses of whiskey, as the door opens, and Elizabeth drops her pistol, as William gasps with fear "Shit!"

William tells Elizabeth with urgency, as his Wife holds his shotgun, and aims at her Sister and Husband "We haven't done anything. We haven't even kissed Elizabeth!" Elizabeth points at the door, and tells her Sister, as she turns the safety off "Now you need to get your old ass the hell out of my damn house right now, before I did to you, what I did to your poor Boy. There's the door, count to three." Randi runs out, as Elizabeth slams the door, and puts the shotgun down, as she tells William "And you can go stay with Ann tonight. I know she will make damn sure you stay in line!" William yells "Hell she drinks too!" Elizabeth sighs "William, she knows you too well, and she will do as I ask. She's my Sis." William snaps "Why don't you just go back to the damn casino?" Elizabeth laughs "Because I want to stay here instead, and take my offer, or I will call Luke Mason in the morning for a divorce." William snarls in disgust, as he heads to his bedroom, as Elizabeth has a look of fury in her eyes." At The Bluebird Manor, the new couple, Felicia Miller and Dr. Martin Nolan have exchanged vows, and are now Husband and Wife, as Martin tells his new bride "Looks like nobody's been here." Felicia snaps at her Husband "And that's why the honeymoon got cut short. I leave, and everything goes to hell! Damnit!" Felicia heads to the liquor cabinet, as Martin tells his Wife "I'm driving us to the Hospital." Felicia, taking a shot of vodka, yells Shut up!"

    At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Lacey walks into the waiting room, with Barbara, and Sarah, as Lacey glares at her Father, as she yells "What in the hell is this bitch saying she's my Grandmother!"

Sully Jackson, from the Southeastern City of Adam's Landing, and the Midwestern City of Blue Ridge, on the West End of the State, tells Lorenzo "I can easily do it. Look at this, and tell me I can't?" Lorenzo reads, as he goes "I think you'd fit in here just well Mrs.Hale." Sully tells him "Look, the past year has been hell for me, lost my Grandma suddenly, and my Daddy passed a month later with an ulcer. I'm divorced from Jared Hale, now I go by my maiden name, Jackson." Lorenzo sighs "Alright Ms.Jackson. So you got two kids?" Sully goes "Ruthie, she's young, in 1st grade, and her Sister, who I'd thought would be her Brother, Bethany, who's a few years younger. I take care of them myself. Excellent with multitasking." :Lorenzo quips "Well you are hired! Welcome to my family's company, and I think my Aunt Ann will approve of you to take her place since she wants to spy for my Mama."

William tells his Sister, in a slurred tone "I don't give a shit right now!" Ann snaps angrily "We need to be with Barbara, and Lacey!" So drink this coffee, and sober your ass up so you'll be presentable." William attempts to get up, as Ann stops him, and pours both a cup, with cream in each, as William goes "I don't like cream!"

Randi walks out, as Elizabeth holds her pistol, and locks up the bar, as Randi stands outside, with sadness, as Elizabeth goes "Sorry bitch, that doesn't work with me." Elizabeth leaves, as Randi calls Jack, as he sits at his Estate, and tells him "We're nailing their asses!" Jack tells his Ex-Wife "Want to come over and catch up on some lost time." Randi agrees, as she drives off. At the Sunset Inn, Dina sits in her motel room, as Sayyid stands above her, and in a tone of disgust snarls "I have no family left, and I love Lena, so you will do what I demand. Either we'll do this my way, or we'll take a look inside the briefcase." Dina shivers in fear, knowing Sayyid's track record. At Sullivan's River Casino, Tyrone and Lacey are inside a hotel room, as they have sex, as they are seeing each other. Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Barbara and Haley has their pistols aimed at Zach, as Zach has his pistol aimed at Haley, and in a drugged out tone, asks his Ex-Wife "So is Granny there going to kill me, or am I going to kill both of you?" Barbara cuts off her safety, as she warns Zach "You're about to regret the day you ever tested me." The safety's turned off on Zach's pistol, Haley's pistol, as they face off. The front door opens, and a shot's fired, as someone screams in terror "NO!!!"
 
 
 
 

Loma Vista: Episode 23. Pushing The Limits

    At Thomas Holdings, Dina stands at Lorenzo's desk, as Lorenzo is silent, and glares at Dina, as he puts the paper back inside the envelope, and asks "Are you really this desperate?" Dina tells Lorenzo "I know it's you, and we can be together as it should be." Lorenzo yells "I have my damn family! What do you want? Money? Would you then shut the hell up, and burn that piece of paper?" Dina starts to cry, as Lorenzo boldly warns her "If you mess up my life, I will make you regret breathing. Remember that! Now get the hell out of this damn building before I call security!" Dina yells "I'd think you'd want this chance!" Lorenzo yells back "And you are a whore who also worked for the infamous Scarlet Thomas, therefore nobody'd believe the words of Scarlet's whore would they?" Dina runs out in tears, as Lorenzo is silent, with anger in his eyes, as he picks up the telephone and makes a phone call, and goes "Dina Monroe. I want her history."
    At Randi's Place, as William sits at the bar and drinks a bottle of liquor, Jack walks up, and sits next to him, as William slurs to Jack "I bet you think because I've had a few drinks, you can get back your empire. You won't do it you sorry, worthless, piece of shit son of a bitch." Jack laughs, and whispers "I guess hiding the fact that Elizabeth was alive for so many months really got to you. Nothing wrong with a few drinks William. You are a drunk." William snarls angrily "What in the hell did you call me?" Jack repeats himself, and William punches Jack in the mouth, as Tilly has walked inside, and notices her Father and Uncle, as she runs over, and gasps "Oh no! Uncle William.." William snarls at Jack "Screw you. And you have nothing, and your name no longer matters in Loma Vista!" Jack looks at his Daughter, as he walks out, and Tilly asks her Uncle "Why are you drunk?" William yells "It's nobody's damn business Tilly! And I'm a paying customer, and your Mama invited me!" Tilly opens her hand, and William asks "Want some money?" Tilly snaps "Car keys!" William slurs "Go catch up with your Daddy. Hell maybe he'll help you out." Tilly walks behind the bar and tells the staff "Don't give that man anymore alcohol or you'll be out of a damn job!" Tilly walks into the office, as she gets her phone, and calls her Aunt, as Elizabeth's phone sits inside Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, as Tilly hangs up, and says to herself "Mom, you are really going too far." Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Randi arrives, as Zach sits outside, as Randi yells at her Son "I told you I was finished with your ass Zach! Now leave!" Zach starts to cry, as he tells his Mother "I need you Mom!" Randi snaps back "You are about to cost me my bar, and cause another war in our family." Zach shrugs "Just finish the old bitch off Mom. I'll help you with that." Randi slaps her Son, and pulls out her phone, as Zach pulls out his pistol, as he screams at his Mother in a furious tone "You are going to help me, or you'll regret it!"
    At Sullivan's River Casino, at Ernest's Kitchen, Nikki and Lizzie arrives, as Elizabeth and Lena sits together, and has lunch, and Elizabeth asks her Daughter In Law "Seen my phone?" Nikki sighs "Shit. It's back at the mansion." Elizabeth quips "Hell don't worry about it. I hate modern technology anyways." Lizzie looks at her Grandmothers, as she asks them "Why do I get the sense the two of you are scheming?" Lena snaps "Randi wants a part of this casino, and my part of the casino most likely, and the old bitch isn't getting it, so she can go to hell!" Nikki rolls her eyes, as Elizabeth laughs "Well Randi sold her part, and I gave it to Lena, and she has her own issues to deal with, so like Lena said, old bitch can go to hell." Ann meanwhile arrives, as Nikki and Lizzie turns, and Ann greets Nikki and her Great-Niece with a hug, as Elizabeth asks Ann "So decided to take me up on lunch?" Ann smiles "How could I pass up spending time with my best friend Sis." Lena quips to Ann "Don't let Randi hear you say that. She's already been on the rampage today." Ann quips "And my Daughter's getting close to Scar's Ex-Husband." Nikki asks Ann "Aren't you seeing Luke Mason?" Ann nods, and Lizzie shakes her head, as she tells her Mother, Grandmothers, and Great-Aunt "As much as I'd like to hang around, I'm going back home." Nikki adds "I'm following Lizzie. I got enough to deal with involving Lorenzo." Nikki leaves, as Ann asks her Sister In Law "So he's still not accepting Junior?" Elizabeth sighs "No. I'm taking care of my Grandbaby though. He was the second one I revealed myself to after returning to town." Lena asks Ann "So what's your reaction to the news today?", referring to the fire at Barbara's building in Downtown Loma Vista. Ann tells them bluntly "Barbara has my Daddy's temper, and don't underestimate her. People think I have a temper, but shit, Barbara's older, and with age, meaner." Elizabeth reminds Ann "You also have a temper Ann." Ann and Lena turns to Elizabeth, as she sarcastically "Hell don't all of us? Why we all get along so well." Ann asks Elizabeth, changing subjects "So did you hear about this morning? William came to Thomas Auto drunk. J.R. called me on my way over and told me." Elizabeth adds "And Miranda was at his house." Ann's eyes widen, as she looks at Elizabeth and Lena, and tells them "I need to go back to the office." Ann leaves, as Lena looks at Elizabeth, and warns her "I think someone's going to tear Randi to shreds." Elizabeth responds in a calm tone "That's the least of her problems. She's about to be broke, and lose everything, and I'll enjoy every damn moment."
    Meanwhile at the Loma Vista Police Department, Barbara sits inside Phillip's Office, as Luke also sits inside, as Barbara yells with rage "I am warning both of you. I see Zach, I'll kill his ass! He's abused Haley, and he has burned down my property in Downtown off some fit he thrown fueled by cocaine, what you should do Phillip, is let me deal with him." Phillip sighs "Barbara, I think the wisest thing for you to do is to just let the Police Department do their job. Luke and I both will make damn certain he's rotting in prison, and executed. I don't condone a man hitting a woman." Luke agrees, as he's silent, and reads his tablet, as he looks at his Brother, and Barbara, as he tells them "I think I could talk to a friend of mine, and have him sentenced as soon as he's arrested." Barbara screams "The hell with that! He needs to die!" Phillip looks at Luke, and tells his Brother "Excuse us for a second." Luke walks out, as Jenny stands outside, and asks Luke "Who's in there?" Luke quips "Within a second, you'll know..." Inside, Phillip looks at Barbara, and reminds her "Barbara, I know you killed Duke Wilson, and William Sr kept it covered up, and I'd do the same thing for you, because it would be fitting, but remember you are the calmest of the Thomas family. And you are the Grandmother of my Daughter, and she still doesn't know yet, and I really want you to leave this to me and my officers." Barbara yells "Here's a deal Phillip. Call a massive manhunt, and search Jack Miller's Estate, Randi's home, bar, anyone related to the bastard. I'm not the only one wanting him dead. There's a hell of a lot of others in my family, and his that wants his ass in Lake Pittman!" Phillip asks "So what are we going to do?" Barbara bends down, and looks Phillip in the eyes, and snarls "Hope you all get to him before I do, or my family." Barbara storms out, as Jenny yells "Aunt Barbara?" Barbara ignores her Niece, as Luke quips "I never believed she was the one with the temper until now." Jenny tells him "The quiet ones are the ones to worry about the most, and if Aunt Barbara's angry, it's just a matter of time." Jenny walks inside Phillip's office, as she kisses him, and tells him "Mama knows and doesn't approve, but I don't care." As Luke attempts to open the door, Jenny tells him "Let us be alone." Luke walks away, as Jenny locks the door, and tells Phillip "I'm ready." Phillip and Jenny looks at each other, with love in their eyes, as Phillip and Jenny tears off each other's clothes, and Phillip puts Jenny on his desk, as they have sex.
    Back at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, as he smokes a blunt, and J.R. walks inside, along with Tyrone, as J.R. turns to Tyrone, and tells him "I need to talk to my Cousin about Uncle William for a moment." Tyrone tells them "I looked for Zach's ass, and I didn't find him, but I got a phone call, and help will be on the way. It will make my Mama happy." Tyrone walks out, as J.R. asks his Cousin "So you're also hunting for Zach?" Lorenzo responds, as he takes a deep toke "Yeah. Want a hit?" J.R. shakes his head, as he goes "I'll pass." Lorenzo asks "So what's brought you down here? Felicia's left, and Aunt Ann went to see my Mama at the Casino." J.R. shakes his head, and stumbles on his words, as he tells Lorenzo in a sad tone "Uncle William needs help." Lorenzo asks "What kind of help?" J.R. takes a deep breath, and responds "He's on the bottle again." Lorenzo is silent, as J.R. notices a look in his Cousin's eyes, as Lorenzo looks up, and shakes his head in frustration, as he asks "What else is bothering you?" Lorenzo tells his Cousin "All I can say for my Dad's that he best hope I don't see him. And everything else is perfect. Go back down to Thomas Auto and keep things going." J.R. walks out, as Tyrone stands outside, and J.R. asks Tyrone "So Sayyid's on his way back?" Tyrone smiles, as he says "Hell yes he is. Perfect timing." J.R. looks at Tyrone, as Tyrone asks J.R. "So what was going on between you and Dina at The President's Room? She's pregnant?" J.R. responds "Yep." Tyrone warns J.R. "Shit's about to really get heavy now. I'm going to the airport. I'll leave Lorenzo alone. He acts like he already knows." J.R. nods, and adds "He's not happy, and he's planning something."
    At Randi's Mansion, Randi sits on her couch, as Zach, in a crazed tone, holding a pistol, coldly tells his Mother "So the entire family has kicked me to the curb? You really are one sorry excuse for a Mother." Randi yells at Zach "Don't judge me. I told you I was finished! I meant it!" Zach cries "You can't disown me Mommy. Daddy's disowned me too, and my family. I need you." Randi gets up, as she looks at Zach, and sighs "You need to get help, and hand me that pistol, and leave. I still love you, but please get out of here. I know people are looking for you, and if anyone connected to the Thomas family finds you, you'll be dead." Zach looks at his Mother, and tells her "Mom, thank you for supporting me. And Aunt Elizabeth was the one that shot me in case you didn't know." Zach heads to the door, as there's a knock, and Randi points to the back, and whispers in a fast tone "Leave through the back!" Zach rushes out, as Randi answers the door to see Jack standing on the other side, as he asks his Ex-Wife "May I come in Miranda?" Randi sighs "Sure. What do you need?" Jack tells Randi "William's drinking again, and I may be able to get back our Daughters legacy from what Ann gave to him in the divorce settlement." Randi nods, and goes "I know he is, and I'm not stopping him. I'm about to get back my part in Mama's Casino from Lena Houston. Elizabeth will be distracted, and I'll have some security." Jack looks at Randi, as he asks her "Has Lorenzo or his hit men came after your bar?" Randi responds "Not yet. But I imagine it to be soon. He paid off that loan and had that one stipulation in the deed, and he knows about Zach being there thanks to your first Ex-Wife." Jack sighs "Ann will never let it go, but I do have our old home back in Red Bridge." Randi smiles, as Jack proposes a deal to Randi, as he tells her "If we're successful, I'll have what's mine, and you can have Ernest's grocery chain, and get it away from the Thomas family." Randi walks over to the liquor cabinet, and tells Jack "I accept, and Elizabeth will learn not to underestimate me." They have a toast, as Jack goes "To getting back our legacies."
    At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki and Lizzie are inside, as Lizzie gets off the phone with Loma Vista Hospital at Downtown, and tells her Mother "Looks like I'll be at Lakeside." Nikki tells her Daughter "Baby, that will be a great place to work also. With your knowledge, and wits, you'll rise through the ranks." Lizzie tells her Mother boldly "Mama, I want to make it on my terms, and not from anybody's help." Nikki hugs her Daughter, with a smile on her face, as she holds Lizzie in her arms. At Thomas Auto, Ann has arrived, as Barbara, J.R., and Matt are inside, and Ann asks "Where in the hell is William?" Barbara looks at Ann, and asks "And what do you recommend regarding Zach?" Ann shrugs "Kill him." Barbara looks at her Son, and Nephew, as she's informed them of her meeting with Phillip, and reminds them "Thomas is a revered name in this town, and feared." Ann quips "That's my Sister. I love this side of you." Barbara looks at her Sister, and sighs "Well Ann, I'm not as passive as you think." Ann sighs "Oh I know." At Barbara's Home, Haley, Sarah, and Blake are inside, as Tilly also sits inside the living room, as she tells her Daughter and Son In Law "I think the party's on hold. Something's about to happen, and Mom's reverting into her old self, and everything's going downhill fast." Sarah sighs with sadness "Damnit. Why can't we have peace. Aunt Elizabeth's alive..." Tilly sighs "And that's great, but to your Grandma, that's war." At Randi's Place, an unknown person arrives, as the head bartender asks "What's going on?" The person tells the bartender "This is for Ms.Camden." The person leaves, as the bartender sees on the name "Thomas Holdings", and calls Randi, as her phone goes to voicemail. At Sullivan's River Casino, Lena sits inside her office, as she prepares to leave, as Tyrone walks inside, and Lena sighs with relief "Boy be lucky Elizabeth isn't here." Tyrone tells his Mother "I have to tell you something, and it has to stay between us." Lena asks her Son "And what is it Tyrone?" Tyrone stutters, as Lena yells "Out with it!" Tyrone yells "Never mind!", as he walks out, leaving Lena suspicious. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Dina stands at the gates, and is silent, as she pulls the paper out of the envelope again, as she sighs "Damn.", as she drops it, and someone picks it up. At William's Home meanwhile, William is passed out, as he's heavily intoxicated, as the front door flies open, and William wakes, as Elizabeth holds a pistol, and aims it at her Husband and snaps "William Thomas Jr, you and I are about to have it out!" William is speechless, as anger and rage pumps through Elizabeth.
   

Loma Vista: Episode 22. Strike Three

   It's the next morning in Loma Vista, and at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki sits downstairs with her Daughter Lizzie, as Lizzie and her Mother catch up on everything that's happened since she's been away in Switzerland in Medical School. Lizzie asks "Where did Mamaw go this morning? She promised breakfast." As the news shows the fire that destroyed Jack's Apartment flashes across the TV, Nikki sighs "Lorenzo left early too. Elizabeth's likely at the casino with Mama, and Lorenzo's planning something. Your Father hasn't changed very much." Lizzie sighs with disgust "I haven't seen him, but it upsets me how he got Tyrone out of jail." Nikki holds her Daughter, and agrees, as she adds "As long as I don't see him, it's ok. If I do, his ass is mine." At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo walks inside his office, as Tyrone sits at Lorenzo's desk, as Lorenzo asks his Brother In Law "Have a safe trip from Blue Ridge?" Tyrone nods, as he rolls a blunt, and asks Lorenzo "Got a towel for the door?" Lorenzo laughs "Shit, I own this building, and run Thomas Holdings, so I can do what in the hell I want to." Tyrone laughs "Nicole picked a great man marrying you Lorenzo." Lorenzo smiles "My Mama's alive and healthy, and life is back to normal, and Lizzie's home from overseas, so I'm content, but I want Zach Miller dead if he didn't die in that fire last night." Tyrone goes "Didn't you send him off?" Lorenzo, in a calculated tone answers "I had him sent to the hole at Lexington. He was released, and his stupid ass acts puts me in a tough spot." Tyrone tells him "I got the AKs and ready to kill." Tyrone lights the blunt, as Lorenzo laughs "Oh it's about to come for him. If you've watched the news already, it's just a matter of time." Tyrone quips, as he lights up the blunt "I wonder who'll get to his ass first."
    At William's Home, William awakens, as he has a headache and looks at his phone, as he sighs with pain "Shit. I bet Ann's already told Elizabeth." William gets the liquor bottle, and takes it into the kitchen, and throws it away, as he takes an aspirin, and someone knocks at the door, as William walks to the front door, as it's Randi, and she asks her Brother In Law "So you knew Elizabeth was alive?" William sighs "You know her Randi, she wanted to keep it secret until she was ready, and there's no middle ground with her." Randi notices a shot glass by William's chair, and picks it up, as she asks "Did she drive you back to the bottle?" William sighs "I made a mistake drinking, and it's my fault. I am an alcoholic.." Randi shrugs and laughs "Hell William, everyone deserves a drink." William quips "Coming from the owner of Lake Pittman's most popular bar." Randi sighs "I drink, and Ann drinks, why can't you? Did Elizabeth tell you not to?" William responds "My years of drinking hurt Lorenzo and I's relationship. I think we've repaired it, but he still holds anger over my actions." Randi looks at William, and tells him "Well if he doesn't know, and you can control the liquor, then it's no problem. Don't let Elizabeth boss you around." William asks Randi "I take it you aren't too damn happy about Elizabeth's return?" Randi looks at her phone, and tells William "Come down later to the bar and visit. I am sure your damn Sister's already ran her mouth." William sighs with defeat "That's Ann." Randi hugs William, as she leaves, unknown to her, Elizabeth stands outside, as she walks from behind a patch of trees, as she says to herself "You should be tending to Zach instead of checking out William for spite bitch." Elizabeth walks to the side of the street, as she gets into her car, as she drives to Sullivan's River Casino, as inside William's Home, William opens a cabinet, and picks up a flask, and puts it in his pocket, as he heads to Thomas Auto.
    At Barbara's Home, Tilly arrives, as Sarah and Haley are inside the living room, as Sarah looks at her Mother, and sighs with disgust "One of those infamous gatherings was called. I warned Blake to stay out of it, but he listened to Barbara." Tilly tells her Daughter "Zach's been disowned by us, so I could care less at this point." Tilly asks Sarah "So does Barbara know the good news yet?" Haley tells her Former Sister In Law "She has left along with Dad and Blake. I think they went to meet with Phillip Mason." Tilly sighs with dread "Haley, I didn't see Ann home, so they are likely preparing something, and with Zach and the bar, and Lorenzo's part in us getting it back, it puts all of us in danger." Sarah asks "Why?" As Haley listens, along with Sarah, Tilly tells them "With Aunt Elizabeth alive and well, she will put in her two cents, and Mom and Aunt Elizabeth has never gotten along." Sarah is silent, as Haley asks "I heard she has a temper?" Tilly answers "She does, and she and Ann are very close, and one of the main reasons Mom has such a disdain for Aunt Elizabeth along with more. That's only the cusp of it." Tilly adds "And for the record, Aunt Elizabeth's always been good to me, and helped me get away from Scarlet's world, and that's more than Mom did." Sarah is stunned, as she asks "Why didn't Grandma help?" Tilly sighs "She had issues of her own at the time. Gram also had some problems with Mom. She loved to pit them against each other." Sarah sighs "Well that explains Grandma's reaction." Tilly asks Sarah and Haley "Want to go grab breakfast?" Haley declines, as she tells Tilly "Dad and Grandma have told me to stay here, with Zach on the prowl." Tilly hugs Haley, and sighs "The cocaine just destroyed him Haley." Haley sighs with sadness "It did. I don't know him anymore." Sarah also hugs Haley, as Tilly and Sarah heads out, as Haley locks the door, and pulls out a pistol, and says to herself "Thank you Grandma." with content in her eyes, and feeling safe.
    Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, inside Ann's office, Jenny arrives, as she tells her Mother with joy "Guess who's staying in town?" Ann looks up, and lights a cigarette, and tells her Daughter "I disapprove of it. Don't you know that was your Cousin's Ex?" Jenny asks with shock "How did you know about Phillip?" Ann responds in a sly tone "I am getting my love life back with his Brother, so I don't like it." Jenny reminds her "He's the Police Commissioner of Loma Vista, and we've discussed our children, ironically one's my Cousin." Ann boldly warns her Daughter, standing up, and eyes filled with rage "Anything that Scar's touched, I want out of this family besides the only one of the damn spawn that follows traditions, Blake!" Jenny sighs "Mama, Lacey lives in Las Vegas." Ann quips "Perfect for a Madam's Daughter, who's been in law, and followed Scar's tracks." Jenny sighs with sadness "I haven't been in love for years, you should be happy about it!" Ann yells "Well girl, forget it!", as she furiously sits back down at her desk, and goes "I have some files to check." Jenny walks out the door, and bumps into her Half-Sister, and Felicia tells Jenny "I'm about to elope with Dr.Nolan." Jenny responds "And I'm seeing Phillip Mason." Felicia congratulates Jenny, as Jenny does the same, and Felicia asks "Have you seen Aunt Elizabeth yet?" Jenny responds "Nope. I want to see her soon, she visited Mama this morning." Felicia sighs "Well my Mother isn't happy, so tell Ann to warn her. She wants a part of the Casino." Jenny shakes her head, and tells her Half-Sister "Have fun. I will stay the hell out of that one!" Jenny leaves, as Felicia shrugs "Hell I'll walk in there and tell the old bitch, and thank you Mom for this damn war that never ends."
    At Thomas Auto, Barbara, Matt, J.R. and Blake sits inside William's office, as Barbara warns her Son and Nephew, and Grandson "He is to die! That little bastard has messed with the wrong Thomas and if I could kill my abusive Husband, I'll do it for my Granddaughter." Blake sighs "Grandma, Sarah's expecting our child, and.." Barbara smiles, as she goes "Aww, a Grandchild. Great Grandchild, wow." Blake tells his Grandma "Sarah wants me out of this." Barbara turns towards Matt and J.R., as Matt tells his Mother "I should do it. It's a Father's job to protect his kids. What Papaw taught me." J.R. nods in agreement, as Barbara adds "I guarantee that Lorenzo is hunting him down, and..." Someone walks inside the office, as everyone turns, as William yells "And a happy damn morning to everyone." Barbara gasps in shock "You're drunk.." William snaps "Hell no! Just fine. Take this shit elsewhere, I got a dealership to run, and I'm don't give a shit." Everyone shakes their heads, and Barbara tells Matt, J.R. and Blake "Please excuse us." They walk out, as J.R. warns his Cousins "Aunt Barbara for the win." All agree, yet stunned. Inside, Barbara asks her Brother in a stern tone "You went to AA and after 10 years you start back? I'll call the hospital right now! I bet Jack Miller's about to attack us since his damn Son burned down a building I own!" William slurs, as he opens the flask, and takes a drink "I'll kill the son of a bitch." Barbara screams, and walks out, as Matt, J.R. and Blake are still, and Matt asks his Cousin and Nephew "Ready for William 2? Blake rolls his eyes, as J.R. tells them "Aunt Elizabeth will take care of this, and so will Lorenzo."
   Back at Thomas Holdings, and inside Lorenzo's office, Lorenzo sits at his desk, overlooking development plans, as Nikki and Lizzie walks inside, and Lorenzo hugs his Wife and Daughter, and asks them "What brought the two of you down here?" Lizzie tells her Father "Let's go have breakfast at the Casino. Like when I was a baby?" Lorenzo sighs to his Daughter "I'll make it up to you with Dinner tonight." Nikki asks her Husband "Elizabeth and Zach?" Lorenzo nods, as he goes "Mama's hot, and Zach has to pay for the shit he's done to my damn family!"Nikki agrees, as Lizzie asks with frustration "Another round Daddy? Can't this family do things besides offing anyone that steps in the way? Let the law deal with it?" Lorenzo quips "Scarlet's in Prison sweetness, so we work both ways." Nikki tells her Daughter "Give it up." Nikki tells her Husband, as she and Lizzie hug him "We'll see you at home tonight, and we'll celebrate Lizzie's new job at Loma Vista Hospital Downtown." Lorenzo nods, as his Wife and Daughter leaves, and Lorenzo returns to work, as he has his TV on, watching the news reports to the building Jack was living in, that's now confirmed as arson, as Phillip Mason tells the reporter "A lighter was found where the fire started, and part of it's repairable besides the upper floors." Lorenzo smiles, as he laughs "Somehow, you are going to die sorry piece of shit Cousin Zach. Bye."
    At Sullivan's River Casino, Elizabeth and Lena are inside Lena's office, as Elizabeth and Lena catch up, and Lena laughs "You got high with the doctor girl? You're crazy!" Elizabeth, passing a joint to Lena laughs "Oh yes. Dr.Beth Jackson was incredible, and after I fully recovered, she died from a heart attack in her office. Sad. That lady was amazing. The real reason I'm sitting here. If you are dying and not ready to go, Adam's Landing is where to go." The door opens, as Randi coughs, and snaps "So I see the two of you are smoking it up in Mama's old office?" Elizabeth snarks to her Sister "And hello to you too Miranda." Randi yells "I hate my name old woman." Elizabeth snaps "Almost like you getting close to William this morning and encouraging him?" Lena looks at Elizabeth and Randi, and goes "And I'll stay out of the way." Randi yells at Lena "Stay your ass in here! I'm telling both of you, I'm about to buy back my part in this casino!" Elizabeth sarcastically asks "Scared of losing your headquarters of meeting men?" Randi warns Elizabeth "I never cheated on Clint!" Elizabeth snaps back in a bold tone "Getting pregnant by Jack while he was Married to Ann, and having Felicia, and Zach was your pitfall Miranda. Ann hates you to this day, as do I, and I'm not bailing you out. And warn Zach for his Auntie I'm hunting for his worthless ass. Great parenting Little Sister." Randi gets into Elizabeth's face, and snarls "I'm getting back my damn share bitch, and I have no damn trouble going after the perfect face for the Duncan Family from our Mama's eyes!" Randi storms out, as Lena walks back inside, and Elizabeth tells her friend, and Nikki's Mother "Randi's pissed. And I don't give two shits. I ain't helping that tramp!" Lena goes "Damn!" Elizabeth asks Lena "Want to smoke again?" Lena nods, and pulls out a blunt.
    Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Jack walks inside, as Luke sits inside, as does Phillip, as Phillip assures Jack "You are safe, but Zach's going to prison for life if we get to him first." Jack defiantly goes "Perfect." William meanwhile walks inside, as he's heavily intoxicated, and yells at Jack "So you burned down my Sister's building you sorry ass son of a bitch?"

At Thomas Holdings, Felicia walks inside Ann's office, as Ann asks "And what is it that you want dear?" Felicia quips "Funny. I need you to warn Aunt Elizabeth about my Mom." Ann quips "Elizabeth has the whore's number." Felicia walks out, as she says to herself "Ann's back to the bitch from hell again.

I spoke to William before leaving town, and being connected to this city, well, you all know how it works so I don't need to explain anything." Ann smiles, as she looks at her Sister In Law with tears, and cries "Thank God you are alive Elizabeth. My best friend is back." Lena looks at Elizabeth, and tells her with a smile "I was wondering who was renting your suite. I thought it would be William, but now that I know it was you, things feel normal again." J.R. meanwhile arrives, as does Matt, as they head towards their Mothers, as Barbara tells Matt "She's alive. I don't believe what I'm seeing, but it's surely Elizabeth." Ann turns towards J.R., and asks "Where's Jenny?" J.R. tells his Mother "She's getting ready to head home tomorrow." Meanwhile Randi, Felicia, and Tilly stands away from everyone, as Randi shakes her head, as Felicia and Tilly asks their Mother "Are you alright Mom? You haven't even said a word." Randi walks towards her Sister, and looks at Elizabeth, and responds "Welcome home. That's all I have to say Elizabeth." Elizabeth quips "I see you haven't changed much Sis. Still jealous." Randi storms out, as Felicia asks her Aunt "So what about The Bluebird Manor? Are you going to want it back since you're alive?" Elizabeth looks at her Niece, and sighs "I am staying at the suite for now. I have had my time at Mama and Daddy's home, now it's yours, but we'll discuss the details later." Tilly hugs her Aunt, as Elizabeth looks at Sarah, and tells her Great-Niece "You will be an excellent Mommy, and keep Granny in check." Felicia and Tilly rolls their eyes, as Blake is silent, and Elizabeth warns him "Take care of my little Sarah." Upstairs, in Lorenzo's study, Lorenzo and Nikki share a blunt, as Nikki tells her Husband "I can't handle everyone under our roof." Lorenzo takes a deep toke, and responds "Only one person missing, Dad." Nikki asks "And why isn't he here?" Lorenzo answers "I called him, and no answer." Back downstairs, Barbara and Ann look at each other, as Ann asks Barbara "Where's William?" Barbara responds "I haven't seen him." Ann grows concerned, as Elizabeth notices, and walks over, and asks her Sister In Laws "Ok squealer, squeal." Ann looks at Elizabeth, and Barbara, and sighs "I have a feeling William's drinking again. I seen him with whiskey earlier." Barbara rolls her eyes, as Elizabeth yells "Ok, party's over. We'll all catch up tomorrow!" As the house empties, Lena stops and tells Elizabeth "Thank you for helping Little L." Elizabeth tells Lena "Thank you for accepting him. Now I have to work on my Son." Lena leaves, as does everyone else, as Elizabeth heads upstairs to Lorenzo's study. At William's Home, William is passed out, as an empty liquor bottle sits in the floor.
     At Jack's Apartment, Zach pulls the tape off Haley's mouth, and asks her "So does this excite you? Haley screams at her Ex-Husband "Just untie me and let me go!" Zach screams "NO! I will not let you go Haley! You are my Wife!" Outside, Jack hears his Son, and unlocks the door, as he pulls out his pistol, and yells at Zach "Let Haley go!" Zach asks his Father "Siding with the evil Thomas family also Dad?" Jack snaps "No I'm trying to save your ass from being killed! Now untie Haley!" Zach looks at his Ex-Wife, as Jack turns off the safety to his pistol, as Zach unties Haley, and Zach dropkicks his Ex-Wife out the door, as Haley runs to the elevator, with tears in her eyes, and panic inside of her. Inside Jack's apartment, Jack sees the cocaine, and yells "I thought you cleaned up?" Zach tells his Father "Well I have to have something to deal with this messed up family! Mom's disowned me." Jack looks at his Son, and tells him, with sadness in his eyes "And I do as well Zach. I have lost a lot, and I've always been there for you, chosen you over my other kids, but not anymore. Your Sisters and Brother are doing well, yet here you are, acting like a spoiled brat. I'm done." Jack heads to his bedroom, as Zach yells "And where in the hell are you going? Back with that bitch Ann?" Jack yells back "You can stay here and self-destruct, I'm finished." Zach runs into the bedroom, as he asks his Father "You aren't really disowning me Dad?" Jack, packing his suitcase, and holding his pistol, tells Zach "I can't help you. You can only help yourself, and I want my life back. You can stay here, but I'm not helping you." Jack packs his suitcase, and looks at his Son, as Zach watches on, as Jack walks out the door, as Zach screams in anger, and breaks a lamp in a fit of rage, as he walks into the kitchen, and grabs a liquor bottle, and pours it on the floor, as he holds a cigarette lighter.
    Meanwhile at The President's Room, Jenny meets with Phillip, as they share a drink, and Phillip asks Jenny "So you've decided to give the Estate back to Jack?" Jenny tells him "There's a stipulation in the deed regarding Zach, but otherwise, Mama's moved out to the Lake, and J.R. and I grew up there." Phillip sighs with sadness "Luke and I lost our childhood home in the riots years ago when Sni-Bar went up in flames." Jenny tells Phillip, changing subjects "So it looks like Mama and Luke's getting close." Phillip laughs "It's purely sex. He's never committed to a relationship before, and I don't think Ann's really interested in anything other than sex, so they have a lot in common." Jenny laughs, as does Phillip, as he tells Jenny "I hate it that you're leaving Loma Vista. I've enjoyed our dates and getting to know you." Jenny looks at Phillip, and sighs "Me too. Best to leave while everything's good, and I need to check on my Daughter, and run the Southeastern division of Thomas Auto." Phillip goes "You could do that from here, and Ann would love to have her Daughter closer." Jenny asks "And my Daughter?" Phillip responds "Didn't you tell me she's going through some things?" Jenny nods, and Phillip tells her "Why don't the two of you move back. She could benefit from family right now, and I miss Lacey, just wish she would move back to town." Jenny asks Phillip "Do you believe in love?" Phillip asks "Why would you ask me that?" Jenny sighs "I stopped believing after my Husband cheated on me." Phillip asks "Who was the mistress?" Jenny responds "I don't know who she was, and don't want to know." Jenny gets up, as she tells Phillip "Time for me to return to J.R.'s and find out what happened at Lorenzo's, and pack." Phillip stops Jenny, and tells her "Wait." Jenny turns, and Phillip looks into Jenny's eyes, as they meet, and they kiss, and Jenny backs away, and silently looks at Phillip, as she tells him "Try it again." Phillip puts his arms around Jenny, as they kiss passionately, as they've fallen for each other.
    At Randi's Mansion, Randi storms inside, and slams the door, as she shakes her head with disgust, and snarls "Damnit Elizabeth. How could you do such a thing as to fake your death." Randi walks over to the bar, and pours a shot of tequila, and the door opens, as Tilly walks inside, and Randi yells at her Daughter "So I guess you and Felicia's ecstatic my Sister's returned from the dead?" Tilly tells her Mother "Not again Mom. Aunt Elizabeth had a very good reason for doing what she did.." Randi snarks "She takes after your Grandma. And both of them were always secretive. Elizabeth was always treated like royalty. Perfect marriage, Mama's favorite. Shit, I don't believe this. AND WILLIAM KNEW!" Tilly warns her Mother, as Randi pulls out a glass, and pours another round of tequila "Don't rekindle the war the two of you had. You got what you wanted with the bar, and Aunt Elizabeth is keeping Grandma's legacy alive and intact. Felicia's running Grandpa's stores with Lorenzo, and very successful in that. You should be happy with the outcome." Randi snaps "Everything's just falling apart Tilly. Zach's self-destructing, and once Elizabeth knows, she'll never let me live it down. She just loved to see me fail. She threw a damn party when I sold my half of the casino, and I wouldn't be in the least surprised if she sells a part of it to that damn Lena Houston! If she does, I'll fight her." Tilly tells her Mother "I'm not listening to you rant, and I'm going to bed for the night, so you can sit here and drink, and argue with yourself. I love Aunt Elizabeth, and nothing will ever change that. She helped me out years ago, and I'll always be indebted to her. And yes Mom, she is exactly like Grandma!" Tilly heads to her bedroom, as Randi has a look of disgust in her eyes.
    At Barbara's Home, Barbara, Matt, Blake and Sarah return, as Barbara tells her family "I am so happy Elizabeth's alive. Something always felt off about her death." Sarah gets a text from Tilly, as she tells everyone "Apparently my Grandma's not handling it well." Barbara sighs "Well she'll get over it. Randi and Elizabeth has never been exactly close." Matt meanwhile chimes in, as Blake and Sarah heads to their bedroom, as he asks his Mother "So what did Aunt Ann tell you and Aunt Elizabeth?" Barbara sighs "William may have relapsed. If he has, heaven help him." The door opens meanwhile, as Haley returns inside, bruised, and crying, as Matt runs to his Daughter, as does Barbara, as she asks her Granddaughter frantically "What happened? Did you see Zach?" Haley cries "He kidnapped me and took me to Jack's apartment, and.." Matt's eyes fill with anger, as Barbara asks "Did he.." Haley responds in a distant tone "Attempted. Randi came by, and Jack saved my life. He was going to kill me!" Barbara pulls out her pistol, and sternly tells her Son and Granddaughter "I own that damn building, and that piece of shit's about to be carried out in a damn body bag for hurting a member of my family." Matt tells his Mother "I think Lorenzo's planning a meeting tomorrow regarding him." Barbara looks at Haley, and hugs her tightly, and tells her "I'm taking him out. I owe you." Barbara heads to her bedroom, as Matt tells his Daughter "Go take a shower, and don't leave this house without one of us with you." Haley hugs her Father, and heads upstairs, as Matt makes a phone call to his Cousin, and J.R. sitting inside his home, tells Matt after hearing what's occurred "After tomorrow his ass is finished." Matt responds "If my Mama doesn't get to him first."
    Meanwhile at Lena's Loft, Lena returns, as Tyrone sits inside, and smokes a blunt, as Lena glares at her Son, and asks him "Didn't I tell your ass not to come back here?" Tyrone laughs "I tried to take care of the family. Teach Little L how to be a man." Lena snaps "You almost had his ass killed Tyrone! Elizabeth's alive, and she's not pleased..." Tyrone shrugs "Shit, I knew she was alive because she threatened me..." Lena gasps "You knew? And you didn't tell me?" Tyrone answers "She threatened me." Lena warns her Son "You can't stay here. I worked too damn hard to get to where I am, and I sense a war about to brew between Randi and Elizabeth, and.." Tyrone yells "Lorenzo called me back to take care of some things. What about redemption?" Lena sighs "Well good luck. I'll let you stay, but you stay clear of Nicole. She has it out for you, and I don't want to bury one of my kids, because Elizabeth has a temper, and if she shot Zach Miller, she'd have no trouble putting you in the river." Lena heads to her bedroom, as Tyrone is silent, and says to himself "Well I won't have any problems with my Sister. Once she learns about what I heard, she will be grateful."
    At Ann's Mansion, Ann returns, as Luke watches TV, and Jack sits inside, as Ann asks her Ex-Husband "What are you doing here?" Jack tells Ann "I disowned Zach. He was going to rape Haley." Ann responds "Elizabeth's returned, and I'm glad you have grown brains, now get out, because I've moved on." Jack tells Ann, as he walks out the door "Well Ann, I miss you, and J.R. and Jenny will be pleased, and I'll still have our home we shared together." Ann is silent, as Jack leaves, and Luke tells Ann "He still loves you." Ann looks at Luke, and tells him "He's the least of my worries. William is drinking again. I just checked in, and he was passed out." Luke asks "So no nookie?" Ann tells Luke "Actually, that would be the perfect ending to an otherwise great day." Ann and Luke heads to her bedroom." At Sullivan's River Casino, Phillip and Jenny walks into a hotel room, as Phillip takes off Jenny's clothes, as they make love. At the Bluebird Manor, Felicia lays in her bed, as she goes "I think we may be moving soon since Aunt Elizabeth is alive." Martin Nolan, who's dating Felicia, assures her with a kiss "Well baby, I still have my place by the lake." Felicia kisses Martin, and tells him in a seductive tone "Doctor me.", as they have sex. At Randi's Mansion, Randi is passed out, as Tilly looks at her Mother, with sadness, as she turns on the TV, and gasps in horror, as the newsman reads "A fire's been reported in a Downtown Apartment Building owned by Barbara Thomas. Police are suspecting arson." At the Sunset Inn, Zach checks in, as he tells the night manager "Make the tab to Barbara Thomas." The night manager obliges, as Zach gets a room key, and heads to his motel room. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo and Nikki are in bed, as Lorenzo looks over at his Wife, and tells her "Mama's alive, and things are perfect." Nikki holds her Husband, and tells him with content "It is baby. I got you back, and Elizabeth's alive and well." Downstairs, Elizabeth watches the TV, as she calls her Husband to no response, as she grows concerned, and the door opens, and Elizabeth turns, as Lizzie Thomas, Lorenzo and Nikki's Daughter is in shock, as she goes "Mamaw? Am I seeing things?" Elizabeth walks up to her Granddaughter, as tears flow down Lizzie's face, as Elizabeth hugs her Granddaughter, and they have a tearful reunion, as Lizzie's returned from Medical School.
