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."

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.
