Loma Vista: Episode 29. The Wrath: Part 1

   When we left things off, Blake was in Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, as his life hung in the balance, and Lacey, Daughter of Scarlet Thomas has learned her "Aunt" Barbara's actually her Grandmother. As well, Lorenzo had went to huge lengths to keep Dina's pregnancy a secret from Nikki, and his family, but unknown to him, Lizzie learned by the records room at the Hospital, along with something else. The war between Elizabeth and Randi was growing, and Jack's plan of taking over Thomas Auto from William was in effect, with Randi's help, as she had eyes set on Sullivan's River Casino, and both had eyes on Thomas Holdings. This was just the start. Things were getting deep, and now we catch up with the citizens of Loma Vista....

Two Months Later....

      At The Bluebird Manor, Felicia and Martin has moved out, as Elizabeth has taken back her Parents Estate, as Elizabeth sits inside the kitchen, and Lizzie walks inside from the bedroom, as Elizabeth asks her Granddaughter "Want some coffee before heading to work?" Lizzie sighs with anger in her tone "Sure Mamaw, but I'm taking today off." Elizabeth notices her Granddaughter's sadness, and asks "What has been bothering you lately Lizzie? You moved out of Lorenzo and Nikki's home, and you haven't been yourself." Lizzie looks at her Grandmother, and has a flashback (At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Lizzie reads two medical records. A few days later, Lizzie walks inside her Father's office at Thomas Holdings, and holds Dina's paternity test, and yells "How could you?" Lorenzo tells his Daughter sternly "Keep that to yourself. Your Mama, my Mama, nobody needs to know, and if ANY of them find out, I will personally have your career finished before it gets off the ground.") Lizzie is silent, as Elizabeth asks "I sense something's really bothering you, and if you want to talk about it, I'm here baby." Lizzie responds "I can't. Hospital confidentiality." Elizabeth hugs her Granddaughter, as she tells Lizzie "I understand." Lizzie heads back to her bedroom, as Elizabeth walks over to a cabinet, and pulls out a file, as she says to herself "I know all about what happened, and things have been taken care of."
    At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo, Felicia, Sully, Ann, and Barbara sits together in the conference room, as Lorenzo asks his Aunts "Where's Dad? He's supposed to be here when we have company meetings." Ann tells her Nephew "He may have gotten caught in traffic." Barbara responds "He'll be here." Lorenzo tells Barbara, as he walks over to Sully "I know you've been busy lately since Blake's tragedy, and you've been busy, meet our newest addition to our board, Sully Jackson." Barbara smiles, and tells Sully "I am deeply honored to have you be a part my family's company, and I certainly approve." Ann seconds her Sister, as Felicia and Sully glare at each other, and Lorenzo notices, and asks his Cousin "Remember this is business." Felicia sighs "Shit, I approve also." Sully snarks at Felicia "Well thank you for your approval." Felicia rolls her eyes, as Lorenzo tells them "Sully's brought a lot of money into Thomas Holdings, and now that everything's finished, I'm promoting Sully to be Co-CEO, alongside me, with her experience in Adam's Landing.." Felicia yells "What! This bitch gets the position I should have? What in the hell Lorenzo?" Ann snaps at Felicia "Sit your ass down and shut up. Sully's perfect, and I trust her a hell of a lot more than the spawn of Randi Camden, the whore of Lake Pittman, a dead heat with Scar." Barbara sighs "Not again Ann. I'm not very happy about it either, but it's what it is." Ann snarls "One move from her, and I'll have Scar in Lake Pittman, and Randi also if she keeps her shit up." Lorenzo gets up, as he gains control of the room, as he yells "Back to business!" Silence grows into the room, as Lorenzo tells everyone, as he concludes the meeting "I am merging Duncan's, with Jim's and lead to a national presence, and once again, welcome to the family Sully." Sully thanks Lorenzo, as he exits, and Felicia follows behind her cousin, as Ann hugs Sully, as Barbara tells Sully "You are one tough young woman. You really remind me a lot of myself at your age." Ann snides "Well Barbara, Sully didn't have one child being raised by Mama and Daddy." Sully looks at them, and laughs "The two of you reminds me so much of my Great-Grandma and Great-Aunt. I love it here, and thank you both for making me feel at home." Ann and Barbara both hug Sully, and talks among themselves. Meanwhile, Lorenzo walks into his office, as Felicia screams "So is this a round of sticking it to my side of the family Lorenzo? Remember you're hurting Aunt Elizabeth..." Lorenzo yells "I'm not hurting my Mother, and you're damn lucky you're still a part of this company." Felicia yells with frustration "I don't support what my Mom and Dad have tried to pull.." Lorenzo yells "Then tell me why in the hell Jack Miller's being kept up by his Daughter?" Felicia walks out of her Cousin's office, with defeat in her eyes, as Lorenzo picks up his phone, and makes a phone call, and tells the person on the other line "I think you should come for a visit."
    Meanwhile at The President's Room, Tilly sits at the bar, as Jack walks inside, and Tilly tells her Father "I thought I made it clear to you I was done." Jack sighs "Your Mom and I were trying to protect you and Felicia." Tilly bluntly goes "You were trying to hurt Uncle William, and Mom was trying to hurt Aunt Elizabeth. Don't pull that shit on me. I am getting back the bar, and it'll be mine, and you can tell Mom from me that I am done with her, and not to call me, or Sarah again!" Jack tells his Daughter, with guilt "I didn't mean for..." Tilly yells "Get out of here! Now!" Jack walks out, as Tilly throws a glass across the room, and her eyes fill with rage, as she says to herself "I never imagined the day I'd call Ann "Mother" more than my own Mom." At Barbara's Home, Sarah sits in the kitchen, as Blake, who's now paralyzed due to being shot by Zach wheels himself inside, as he asks his Wife "Where's our little champ?" Sarah yells for Haley, as she walks down with Cole Walton, Blake and Sarah's adopted Son, as Blake holds him, as Haley tells them "He's been fussy this morning." Sarah looks at Blake, as he goes "Just like his Daddy." There's a knock at the door, as Sarah answers the door, as Randi stands on the other side, and Sarah asks her Grandmother "Why are you here?" Randi goes "To see my Great-Grandson. You really need to knock off the attitude Sarah." Sarah looks at Haley, and tells her "Take Cole back up to the nursery." Blake hands his Son to his Cousin, as Blake tells Randi "I think my Grandma made it clear you weren't allowed here." Randi reminds Blake "And your Father was my Husband, which makes me your Step-Mother. Show me some respect!" Blake screams "I'm paralyzed! Thanks to that bastard Zach, and you ask for respect when you and Jack try to destroy my family and take that son of a bitch back into your lives? Screw you!" Sarah warns her Grandmother "I think you really need to leave in case Barbara shows up." Randi snaps "I'm not scared of Barbara, or my Sister, or anyone else! If this is the way you want it Sarah, then be it!" Randi walks out, as Sarah starts to cry, and Blake grabs his Wife's hand, as Sarah cries "She really hurt Mom and me, choosing Zach over her other family." Blake reminds his Wife "We have made it, and I promise, I'll be walking again." Sarah bends down, and kisses Blake, and sighs with doubt "I really hope so." Blake defiantly goes "I will!"
    At Sullivan's River Casino, Lena and Tyrone sits inside her office, as they share a blunt, and Nikki walks inside, as she glares at her Brother, and Lena warns her Daughter and Son "Let's just smoke, and have some family time." Nikki's eyes are glued on Tyrone, as she boldly warns him, pulling a pistol out of her purse "Get the hell out of here! I need to talk to Mama, and I want you to disappear." Tyrone looks at his Mother and Sister, and quips "Hell, I'll go call Lacey. I accept you hate me Nicole. I don't give a shit." Tyrone walks out, as Lena asks her Daughter "When will you let it go?" Nikki asks "Does Elizabeth know you have him coming around here?" Lena shakes her head, and motions for Nikki to sit at her desk, as Lena asks Nikki "So have you found out what's going on with Lizzie?" Nikki sighs "No, and she won't even come home. It's here, The Manor, Dad's. She's furious with Lorenzo. I got a bad feeling she knows something." Lena, passing the blunt to her Daughter, tells her "Elizabeth's been acting secretive lately, but that's the norm for her." Nikki changes subjects briefly, as she asks her Mother "So where has Sayyid been?" Lena answers "Mecca. He went to the Hajj. He'll be back soon." Lena asks Nikki "Do you think Lorenzo's stepping out again with that Sully Jackson? Lorenzo has been building her up." Nikki shakes her head, and responds "No. She's too damn smart to mess with him, and she's all about business, little pleasure, and from what I know, she has no trouble taking somebody out." Lena is quiet, as Nikki asks "What are you thinking Mama?" Lena goes "Oh, nothing baby girl. But I'd watch out if I were you." Nikki assures her Mother "I trust Lorenzo." Lena takes a deep breath, and holds out her hand, as Nikki hands the blunt back to her Mother, as Lena's phone rings, and motions for Nikki to leave, as Nikki walks out, and heads to Thomas Holdings, as she ponders over what her Mother's said.
    At Thomas Auto, Matt and J.R. sits inside Matt's office, as Barbara and Ann arrives, and Ann asks her Son "J.R. where's your Sister?" J.R. responds "Business trip." Matt rolls his eyes, as does Barbara's, as Ann goes "With Phillip?" Barbara warns her Sister "She's in love. Support her." Ann snaps "Shut up. Phillip's done messed with Scar, and he's about to tarnish my Daughter." Barbara changes subjects, as she asks her Son "Matt, where's William?" Matt tells his Mother "He hasn't arrived yet." Barbara is quiet, as she looks over at Ann, and asks them "Notice anything off with him?" Ann responds "He's been angry lately, but it's likely just withdrawal." Matt responds "He hasn't been in the office for a few days." Barbara turns to Ann, as Ann quips "He's probably tired of the shit Jackie and Randi's been trying to pull." Barbara tells her Sister "I think we all are." At William's Home, Elizabeth unlocks the door, as she yells for her Husband, as he's not home, and sighs "I hope you're at work William." At the Thomas Family Plot, William puts roses on his Parents graves, as he bends down, and starts to cry, as he is silent for a moment, and says "I know what both of you would say. I can't keep hiding this." Meanwhile at Lacey's Apartment, Scarlet walks inside, as Lacey asks her Mother "So you're officially free?" Scarlet nods, and goes "And that's thanks to Barbara, I mean Mother, and Lorenzo. Now what in the hell's wrong with you?" Lacey looks at her Mother, and holds up a piece of paper, as Scarlet gasps "I don't believe it!" In the City of Southpoint Beach, on the ocean side, Phillip and Jenny exchange vows, as they have now married, as the reverend tells Phillip "Now you can kiss your bride." Phillip and Jenny kiss passionately. Back in Loma Vista, someone arrives at Jack and Ann's former Estate, as they knock on the door, and Ciarra Sullivan, Sully Jackson's Great-Aunt answers, as she asks "Can I help you?" The person asks "Where's my Nanny?" Ciarra is confused, as the person goes "Ann Gray." Ciarra nods, and tells the person "She lives in the cabin by Lake Pittman, near her Brother." The person thanks Ciarra, as they leave.
    At Randi's Mansion, Randi walks inside, as she yells "Well Elizabeth has really turned my kids against me, her dream come true." Jack walks out of the bedroom, and reminds her "Well you're not the only one that's been black-balled." Randi asks Jack "So Tilly still hate us too?" Jack looks at Randi, as they look into each other's eyes, as Jack tells Randi "Once our kids know about us, then they'll come back." Randi asks Jack "Think it's time to tell them?" Jack kisses Randi, and tells her "Yes. I'm ready to tell our kids we're now remarried." At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, as Sully tells him "I don't think I can work with Felicia. She seems to have it out for me." Lorenzo goes "She's brash, but she's good at what she does." Sully tells Lorenzo "Since we've merged, and now I'm calling the shots, I want Felicia to show some respect to me or I'll put her ass in her place." Lorenzo assures Sully "Don't worry about my Mama's side of the family. We got their number. Especially Aunt Randi." Nikki meanwhile stands outside the door, and watches her Husband and Sully, as Nikki tells herself "Mama's just paranoid." At The President's Room, Felicia and Tilly hug, as Tilly asks her Sister "Where's Martin?" Felicia snaps "At the Hospital. Lizzie didn't come into work, so he's pulling double duty, and my neighbor's really starting to piss me off!" Tilly pours both of them a drink, as Tilly quips "I told you to take Aunt Elizabeth up on her offer." Felicia goes "Well Tilly, I wanted Martin and I to have some privacy, and some peace and quiet, but Ms.Houston doesn't allow that. And I hope Lorenzo isn't planning anything because I think he's about to kick me out of our Grandpa's company." Tilly assures her "Aunt Elizabeth and Lorenzo'd never do that." Felicia snaps "Well you must not know Sully Jackson then! She has it out for me!" At Randi's Mansion, Jack and Randi makes love in Randi's bedroom, as the phone rings, and it's Zach, who's at the Riverside Psychiatric Hospital, as he's in detox, as he hangs up the phone, and Dina stands behind him, as Zach asks in shock "Why are you here?" Dina has a lost look in her eyes, and goes "Just wait until I get out." Zach pulls Dina to the side, as they have a discussion, and they make a deal. Meanwhile back at The Bluebird Manor, Lizzie hangs up the phone with Lena, as she walks into the living room, and reads the two files again, as she looks at the second one, and cries. At Sullivan's River Casino, Elizabeth arrives at Lena's office, as Lena asks Elizabeth "What are you keeping from our Granddaughter?" Elizabeth shakes her head, and tells Lena "Have you forgot you are working with me? Well keep it going." Meanwhile on the highway, William drives his Mustang, as he begins to grow weak, as he swerves into the other lane, as an oncoming SUV, driven by Lacey, makes an attempt to miss, as Lacey screams, as she slams the brakes, and William has passed out behind the wheel, and Lacey and William's vehicles collide.
