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.
