And that kid could be anybody's kid." Sure as hell won't be mine!" Dina screams "You're the damn daddy Lorenzo.." Lorenzo grows angry and aims at the door, and snarls "Get your white trash ass the hell out of my office, and I will let the world know about you and Zach's little tryst when he was released to the halfway house." Dina sighs "I will tell the truth." Lorenzo warns "Test me. Try. You won't live long enough to find out. How about an abortion to solve the damn problem?

Elizabeth laughs "Well have fun Miranda." Randi leaves, and Elizabeth looks at Lena and tells her "She's damn crazy. Shit, she lost that battle 20 years ago. She needs to get on somewhere."

Tyrone tells him "Lacey's back in town." Sayyid goes "The white girl?" Tyrone nods, and Sayyid tells him "Be careful. Word in Vegas is she's a nark." Tyrone laughs "She ain't with the shit I have on her. But she's a freak in the bed." Sayyid's phone rings, as he tells Tyrone "I'm going to see Lena, and meet Mrs.Thomas."

William nods in agreement, and Ann notices luggage, and goes "So Elizabeth's moving in with you?" William tells his Sister "She's keeping tabs on me."

J.R. yells "Get the hell out of here in case Uncle William shows up." Jack walks out, as Jenny tells her Brother "How's Blake?" J.R. tells his Sister "Matt hasn't said anything, and Aunt Barbara left her phone at her house." At the Loma Vista Jail, Matt locks the doors, and slips money to the jailers, as they leave, and Matt coldly tells Zach "Nobody hurts my Mama and lives to tell about it. If Blake dies, you will too."

Elizabeth sighs "Stay home. I'm going to put a stop to her ass." Elizabeth leaves, as Lena and Sayyid watches on, and Sayyid asks "Was that anger I just picked up from Mrs.Thomas?" Lena goes "Remember me telling you about her Sister? Well if the name Miranda's mentioned, and I'm assuming that was Ann, someone's just pissed off the wrong damn woman." Meanwhile at the Loma Vista Jail, Zach's inside his cell, as the jailer opens the door, to three other prisoners, as the door is locked, and the three men jump Zach. Outside Zach's cell, Matt hands the jailer money, and goes "Call me. I'm going to check on my Mama. Then we go from there." At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Tyrone sits in the waiting area, as Phillip sits outside, as he asks Tyrone "So seeing Lacey I hear?" Tyrone responds "Yeah? What's it to you?"

Inside Blake's Room, Blake's vitals continue to drop, as one of the Doctors looks at Barbara, Lacey, and Sarah, as he tells them "The three of you have a decision to make?"

Lacey turns towards Barbara, as she goes with shock in her voice "Oh shit it's really true." Outside, Tilly calls her Mother, as Randi's phone goes to voicemail, as Jack arrives, and asks his Daughter "Where's Miranda?" Tilly asks her Father, reading a text from J.R. "Is this true?" Jack reads the text, as Tilly warns him "At this point, I'm ready to disown Mom, and if you are sleeping with her, you too!" At William's Home, Randi pours a glass of whiskey, as she asks William "Doesn't it feel nice just sitting here, having a good strong drink?" William warns his Sister In Law "Don't say anything to Elizabeth." Randi goes "Who's scared of her? She controls you William. I want to make you happy." Randi sits next to William, as they drink, and Randi cozies up to her Brother In Law, as Elizabeth drives towards William's Home, and a pistol sits in the passenger seat, while at William's Home, William gets a buzz, and he and Randi look into each other's eyes.
