Loma Vista: Episode 37. Two Years Later: Part 3, Conclusion.

     As night falls upon Loma Vista, at The Bluebird Manor, Elizabeth walks into the den, as Sarah sits inside, and Elizabeth asks her Great-Niece "Where's Tilly and Blake?" Sarah goes "Mom took Cole to bed for the night in the nursery room." Elizabeth tells Sarah "I'm so glad you and Blake are back home, but I want to tell you something, don't get too attached to life, because it never lasts like it is for the two of you." Sarah is quiet, as she responds, taken back and in thought "That cuts deep. Maybe the most cryptic thing I've ever heard." Elizabeth turns to Sarah, and warns her "Look back, look ahead, with a pistol loaded. You are too content sweet girl." Tilly walks inside, as she tells her Daughter "Blake's going to bed." Sarah hugs her Mother and Great Aunt, as Elizabeth tells her "Remember what I said." Tilly asks her Aunt "So you and Sarah having a secret talk?" Elizabeth asks "The towel down in the nursery?" Tilly nods, as Elizabeth lights a joint, and tells her Niece "There's a war brewing between me, your parents, and Blake's Sister." Tilly rolls her eyes, and sighs with defeat "What did my Mom and Dad do now?" Elizabeth turns on the TV, as she plays the security footage, as Tilly watches on, and chokes, as Elizabeth pats her back, and Tilly gasps "Lacey's at it again? And sleeping with my Dad? Damn when will he learn?" Elizabeth tells her Niece sternly "Miranda came by earlier uninvited, and if Jack steps inside here, I'll shoot him." Tilly assures her Aunt "I have no intentions of inviting him over anytime soon." At The Miller Estate, Jack sits inside, as he's returned home, and there's a knock at the door, as he answers to find Lacey, and asks his former Great Niece "So what's wrong?" Lacey hugs Jack, and sighs with sadness "Lonely on Valentines. Boyfriend won't answer his texts," Jack tells her with a grin "I know a way to fix that. They head to the bedroom, as they have sex.
    At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lizzie walks inside, as she's returned home from work, as Nikki sits in the living room, as she tells her Daughter "Well we had a great evening. He's asleep. How are you?" Lizzie tells her Mother "Work was the best part. Otherwise hell. I don't know why that woman is so mean to us." Nikki motions for her Daughter, as Lizzie sits next to her Mother on the couch, as Nikki tells Lizzie something, as Lizzie's eyes grow red with anger, as she gasps "Really? She called you that to your face!" Nikki nods, and adds "It was after our wedding. It was awful." Lizzie tells her Mother in an angry tone "Next time we cross paths, I'm tearing her ass apart. She's getting old, so hopefully I'm not her Doctor," Nikki and Lizzie laugh for a second, as Lizzie hugs her Mother, and heads upstairs, as she calls it a night, as Nikki walks upstairs, into her and Lorenzo's bedroom, as Lorenzo asks his Wife "I heard our Daughter. What has pissed her off?" Nikki sighs with disgust "Randi." Lorenzo tells Nikki, as she lays down, and he holds his Wife, as they turn out the lights "She'll be handled too baby. Now let's go to sleep." Nikki asks seductively "Are you tired?" Lorenzo jumps on top of his Wife, and goes "Oh never.", as they make love, and call it a night.
   At Felicia and Martin's Loft, Martin walks around the living room, as he asks his Wife "So you're staying up for your Mother? She's grown, and.." Felicia tells her Husband "She's looking for a fight, and I've looked everywhere for.." Felicia grows angry, as she yells "I'm tired of this Martin! I hope she's moving out!" A knock's heard from the wall, as Felicia lives next door to Lena, as Martin holds his Wife, and tells her "Let's live for us, and quit stopping everything for your Mother. She knows what's she doing." Felicia, with concern, goes "I know." At Tilly's, A heavily drunkened Randi, slurs to Bob, as they sit at the bar "I am the queen of pool you washed up has been." Bob slurs back "Where do you wanna sleep?" Randi slaps Bob, and scolds "How dare you make that assumption. I may be drunk.." Bob asks "Well this time you can't get pregnant." Randi takes a deep breath, and slurs with disgust "You make me sick bringing that up. You seem to want to use it for something. Is Elizabeth paying you to piss me off? We had an agreement.." Bob laughs "Years ago, but Prison changes some people, and time to admit it." Randi yells at the bartender "Call me a taxi!" Bob yells "Nope. I'll have my Brother take her home." Bob looks at Randi, and grins, and sighs "You know we had some chemistry, and I did beat you, so I win." Bob and Randi stagger outside, as she looks at him, and goes "Nice hair for an old geezer." Bob goes "Nice wrinkles, really compliments what appears.." Randi raises her hand, and smiles "Asshole." Bob quips "At least I'm not alone." Bob heads to his truck, as he slurs "Hey Randi? Where was Wild Man's Home at?" Randi walks over, and gets into Bob's truck, and tells him "I'll show you. Surprised you didn't know." As the truck starts, and Bob slowly pulls out "Prison is hell."
    Meanwhile at Ann's Mansion, Ann sits inside the living room, as she smokes a cigarette, and reads her phone, as J.R. walks inside, as Ann asks her Son "I thought you were going home for the night?" J.R. smiles, and pulls out his phone, and shows a text to his Mother, as Ann beams with excitement "She moved back? Well this should be interesting to watch. Seen her yet?" J.R. sighs "I didn't give her a nice send off when she moved back after her Dad and Grandma returned." Ann quips "The way of the world. Don't believe anything these days, and thank God I'm finally happy, though I miss my Brother." J.R. asks Ann "And I've noticed you've slowed down recently on your morning happy hours." Ann tells J.R. "Cassie and I have started walking, and now we're bowling, like I used to do with you, Jenny, and my Mama. Me, her, and Elizabeth had Loma Vista swept. And of course, I look damn good for my age, and I think I can finally say I'm not thinking or worrying about Jackie anymore." J.R. tells her "Mama, it's good to see you happy for once, and Sully being back, and Blake and Sarah..." Ann goes "Hold. Blake's the child of Scar and Barbara's Grandchild, and Sarah, well need I say more?" J.R. sighs "Some things will never change. And I'm heading home." Ann hugs her Son, and J.R., leaves. Meanwhile at Jenny and Phillip's Condo, located on Lake Pittman, Jenny walks inside, as Phillip takes deep breaths, and his Wife asks him "Are you upset? What's going on?" Phillip tells Jenny "I'm having Tyrone followed, and you don't want to see what I just did." Jenny, now concerned, goes "Hell yes I do!" Phillip walks towards the bedroom, and yells with frustration "He's going to cause pain to you, and your Mama, and this time, it won't be my Daughter to blame!" Jenny asks, getting angry "Are you implying Cassie and Tyrone are.." Phillip yells "Yes I am Jenny!" Jenny yells angrily to Phillip, defending her Daughter "Cassie isn't perfect, but if you are saying she's a whore like that child of yours.." Phillip screams "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU.." Phillip rushes up to Jenny with rage, and walks to the door, and leaves, as Jenny snarls "How could you say such a thing." Jenny gets her phone, and calls Cassie, as her phone goes to voicemail, and Jenny leaves a message, telling her Daughter "Whatever you're doing with that loser Lacey dates. Stop whatever it is before you ignite a war." At the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino, in Tyrone's Hotel Room, Cassie and Tyrone lays next to each other, as Tyrone passes a blunt to Cassie, and goes "This was a nice Valentine's day. Thank you." Cassie asks "Thank you?" Tyrone gets up, as he goes "I need to find Lacey. You know the deal. Mouth shut." Cassie stops him, and shakes her head, and warns him "No, I don't play like that. You just used me for sex?" Tyrone nods, and adds "And you fell for it. Now you're the third I've slept with in the family. I keep a score card girl." Cassie slaps Tyrone in the face, as she finds her clothes, and puts them on in a rush, as she heads to her Grandmother's Home, as she fumes, and Tyrone laughs to himself, as he calls Cassie "Dumbass white girl thought this was gonna be romance. Shit, I ain't about that. Just into getting what yo' Cousin ain't giving me right now."
    Back at The Bluebird Manor, the doorbell rings, as Elizabeth and Tilly sits inside the den, and Elizabeth asks her Niece "Who could that be at this time?" Tilly answers the door, as Barbara stands on the other side, and Elizabeth tells her Sister In Law "It's late isn't it?" Barbara asks "Have they all went to bed?" Tilly nods, and goes "The flight from Denver was rough on Cole." Barbara tells them "Well, Matt when to bed, and I was bored, and didn't really want to see Ann. I'm enjoying her too much right now." Elizabeth laughs "She's cooled out recently. Called me about bowling again, and I think I may join her." Barbara tells Elizabeth "Tell her I'll join her!" Tilly tells them "I think her having Cassie with her makes her as she says "Ageless, and always young"."  Barbara laughs "That's Ann for you. I miss William though." Elizabeth sighs with sadness "Me too, but my boy brought me some candies, his favorite. Mine too. And William came to see me, so I am happy." Tilly looks at Barbara, as both smile at Elizabeth, and Barbara tells her Sister In Law "Next time tell him I love him." Barbara looks at her watch, and tells them "I'm going back home for the night. I just wanted to see Blake and Sarah, and spoil that baby." There's a cry, as Elizabeth asks Barbara "Well, want to have some baby fun?" Barbara drops her purse, as she walks into the nursery. Inside the den, Elizabeth tells her Niece "I got a feeling Barbara's staying the night." Tilly quips "She's making sure she doesn't miss a second." Elizabeth looks at her Niece, and kisses her on the forehead, as she calls it a night, and Tilly walks into the Nursery, as Barbara holds her Great-Grandson, and tells him a story, as she goes "Your Great-Grandpa Thomas, was the most amazing man. He ran away, taught himself to read, write, came up from the mountains to Loma Vista, and worked his way into power, and bought land, and tough. Same for you sweetness." Tilly smiles as she watches them, and walks across the hall, as her Daughter and Son In Law sleep, and says with a tear "So glad my baby's home."
      At The Miller Estate, in Jack's bedroom, Lacey walks out of the bathroom, as she's dressed, and tells Jack "I think you should be careful at the Casino. Randi's a little wishy washy. She acts like she wants to get along with my crazy Aunt, but then doesn't. I don't think she's going to come through, and this will still bite both of us." Jack assures Lacey "After today, and my meeting with Roger Lord, I'm about to have my life back, and I'll make sure you're set for helping me stay afloat." Lacey smiles, as she prepares to head back to Lena's Loft for the evening. At Phillip and Jenny's Condo, J.R. sits next to his Sister, as Jenny cries "It's going to be ugly J.R." J.R. tells Jenny gently, as he holds his Sister "Mama is my main concern. When she finds out..." Both are quiet, and say "She's going to lose it completely." At Ann's Mansion, Cassie returns, as she cries, and Ann sits in the living room, as Cassie asks her Grandmother "Why are you up?" Ann asks her Granddaughter "And why are you crying?" Cassie tells her "Nanny I made a mistake, sleeping with Tyrone Houston." Ann gasps "What? Now I can't judge, but, why are you crying sweetie?" Cassie tells her of what happened, as Ann holds her hand, and her eyes grow red, and snarls "I can't believe that piece of shit would do that to you. His loss." Cassie goes "Certainly not my type." Ann tells her Granddaughter "Now go to bed, and sleep it off." Cassie goes to bed, as Ann says to herself "You've just earned a bullet from Nanny."
    Meanwhile throughout Loma Vista, as it's late in the night, At Bo's Cabin, Bob and Randi lay in bed in Bo's guest room, as Randi tells him "At least you're good at something." Bob quips with a smile  "Same for you, and now we don't have to worry about any surprises." Randi sighs "Well, that is correct, and I like this." Bob tells her "Me too." Randi lays her head on his shoulder, as they fall asleep. At Felicia and Martin's Loft, Felicia and Martin lay in bed, as she tells him "That was nice." Martin agrees, as they've made love, and Felicia tells him "Well tomorrow's that meeting. I hope it goes well." Martin asks "What kind of meeting?" Felicia answers "Roger Lord. He's married to Sully Jackson's Aunt, who's exposed that wacked out family in her books. I am thinking of working for his Loma Vista division. He's talking to Daddy too." Martin warns his Wife "May want to look into Lord Incorporated. It isn't just publishing. He may see dollar signs with Duncan's, and may be trying to get your stock." Felicia assures him with a kiss, as they turn out the lights "Well that won't ever happen. But I promised my Grandpa I'd always take care of the company, so I will do that." At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lizzie sits in the living room, as she's on the phone and goes "I'd just show up. Mom will be happy to see you, as for Dad, I don't know, and I'm still not over it." The person on the other line, tells her "I know." At The Benjamin Lodge, someone shows up at the desk, and signs in, as they tell the clerk "No more hospitals for me!"
   
    

Loma Vista: Episode 36. Two Years Later, Part 2

   In the event room at Sullivan's River Casino, Blake, with a limp, walks towards his Grandmother, as Barbara cries, and tells him "I don't believe my eyes." Lacey greets her Brother with tears, and hugs him, as Sarah's welcomed by her Mother, Aunt, and Grandmother, as Tilly holds her Grandson, and Felicia asks her Niece, as Randi gushes over her Great-Grandson "So are you pregnant? Mom's seeing fishes." Sarah assures them "We're not expecting. Well not yet, but we are moving back home to Grandma's old place. Diana gave it to us when she left town a few months back. She really was nice to us." Randi snarls "Old bitch likely got stipulations also, like I can't move back in." Sarah takes a deep breath, and tells her "There's a guesthouse you know." Felicia pleads "Please Mom! For my sanity? I work with Ann. Remember?" Randi rolls her eyes, and yells at Felicia "I'll move in that place, but that will always be my house whether Diana likes it, or not!" Meanwhile, Blake and his family catches up, as Matt tells his Nephew "Haley moved to Adam's Landing. She's with her Mama." Barbara sighs with disgust "Poor girl been through too much, and with that for a Mother, poor baby." Ann reminds her Sister "Sandi helped us out with Scar." Lacey snaps, as J.R., Jenny, and Cassie walks over, as she tells her Great-Aunt "I am tired of this vendetta you old bitch!" Ann snaps back forcefully "Show some respect you white trash whore! The spawn of Scar. You failed, and Blake turned out to be a man with morals, unlike you." Blake sighs "Damnit, I'm starting to reconsider moving back to Denver." Barbara and Lacey's eyes widen with joy, as Barbara hugs Blake, and tells her Grandson "I've missed you so much. I will love having you here. But don't go to another family gathering!" Blake nods, and says "Ok Grandma. I'll try." Matt tells his Nephew, as he hugs him "Welcome home buddy." J.R. and Jenny meanwhile walks over to Felicia, Tilly, Randi, Sarah, and Cole, as Randi goes "Looks like the spies are among us, and look Felicia, the spitting image of your Father! Bastard!" Jenny warns her former Step-Mother "Stop before we fight as well!" Tilly asks her Half-Siblings "How is Daddy?" J.R. tells his Sister "Well you should call him, but he pulled some shit on our Uncle, along with his then Wife.." Randi warns J.R. with sadness "Please not today. I still hurt for that, but not for wanting back a part of my family legacy my Mama left me!" Felicia yells at her Mother with frustration "Mom enough!" Sarah grabs her Son, as she walks over to her Husband, as Tilly looks at her Mother, and J.R., and Jenny, and tells them "Daddy really messed up, and so did you, and I love living with Aunt Elizabeth. She has always been good to me." Randi yells "Ok. I need to meet a bartender and get the hell out of here! Randi storms out, as everyone notices, and as everyone talks amongst themselves inside, in the hallway, Cassie sits on a bench, as Tyrone sits down, and asks her "So I take you don't like big crowds?" Cassie tells him "Not really. Too much drama for me." Tyrone nods, and sighs "Lacey will be here until whenever it ends, and will argue and raise hell for him, and kill.." Cassie asks him "Do you smoke?" Tyrone asks "Smoke what?" Cassie opens her purse, as he looks inside, and goes "Yeah, I'm down. Bet." They head to the parking garage.
     At The President's Room, Jack sits at the bar, as he has a shot of whiskey, and Roger Lord, owner of Lord Incorporated, based in Adam's Landing, walks over, and goes "Jack Miller?" Jack nods, and asks "So you have experience bringing down the Lorenzos of the world?" Roger laughs "Well, not really, but pick and choose wisely, and Lorenzo from what I see has some crazy going on." Jack agrees, and adds "What about a book deal, and I get the royalties?" Roger responds with a question "How about you join me, and run a division of my company here, and there's the start to bringing down Thomas Holdings." Jack asks Roger "Will I own anything in this?" Roger nods, and goes "When the time is right, you'll certainly have something. I know you are seeing your former Niece." Jack is quiet, and goes "She's helping me." Roger's phone rings, as he tells Jack "Well I'm staying at the Noland Crown, so here's my room number to discuss further." Roger writes something down, and hands it to Jack, and leaves, as Luke arrives, and asks his Friend "So you're talking to the infamous Roger Lord. You know who he's married to don't you?" Jack tells Luke "Well I'm about to get something out of my years in this crazy ass mess. Ann broke me, and over time, destroyed me. But I got something to prove to her, and I miss Miranda, but the kids don't want us together." Luke sighs "Well pal, I still sleep with Ann from time to time, but at least you have a place, and Felicia and J.R. keeps in touch, and that other one.." Jack snarls "I am still asking myself where Miranda and I went wrong with him." Luke jokes "There's always that one in every family." Jack smiles "Like Lorenzo is to his family. Filling Daddy's shoes just fine." Luke suddenly gets up, and reminds Jack "I am neutral in this, and Phillip's married to Jenny, and I'm not getting into a battle with you and choosing sides. You've become cold and bitter Jack, and you need to make peace with your kids before it destroys you. Wish I could with mine, but he left town after my Divorce from his Mother, and no word now for 15 years." Luke leaves, as Jack sits quietly, staring into space, as he makes a phone call to Lacey, which goes to voicemail, and Jack says to himself, with a buzz "I'm going to see my Granddaughter, and Ann can kiss my ass!"
     At Lena's Loft, Lena walks inside, as Sayyid sits at the table, with roses, and Lena asks her Boyfriend "When did you return? I was expecting you on the weekend?" Sayyid tells her, as he gets up, and they kiss "Willie told me I needed to be with you. She's staying with her Grandson right now. She stays busy between Adam's Landing and Southpoint Beach." Lena looks at Sayyid, and goes in a sly tone "So does somebody else, and his trips to Sugar Creek also included." Sayyid asks Lena "Are you jealous or something of Eve? Because I've told you that you have my heart." Lena holds onto him, and sighs "I worry sometimes." Sayyid kisses her, and as they head to the bedroom, lit with scented candles, assures her "I only love you Lena." They underdress each other as they make love.
    At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo and Nikki lay in bed, as he feeds his Wife chocolates in bed, as she tells him "This is perfect. I love this!" Lorenzo pulls out a tiara, and Nikki laughs, as Lorenzo tells his Wife "My queen." At Loma Vista Lakeside Hospital, Lizzie sits at the Nurse's Station, as she reads charts, and Martin walks inside, and tells her "Looks like I'm filling in for Dr. Martinez again." Lizzie sighs with relief "Thank God, and can we discuss your Mother In Law?" Martin quips with a laugh "A pain in the ass to live with, and who enjoys stirring things up?" Lizzie asks him "Do you not like her either?" Martin responds "Felicia is my Wife, and she's her Mother, so I would like for her to move out, but I remain neutral, but Felicia has told me about her relationship with Elizabeth and all of you and none of us like it, so we support you, and Randi knows where she stands." Lizzie hugs him, and tells Martin "Thank you." Martin shrugs "No problem Dr. Thomas."
   Meanwhile at The Bluebird Manor, Elizabeth has returned, as she sits inside the den, and smokes a joint, and says to herself "Lacey, you've just messed up, and Mommy can't save your ass." Elizabeth hears footsteps, and gets up, and puts out her joint, and pulls out her pistol, as she walks into the foyer, as Randi snarls "Just like you to disrespect the house we were raised in." Elizabeth responds calmly, yet furious "Just like Jack to get someone to do something, and likely motivated by you and some promise of cash. If you think I'm losing it because I lost William, I hurt like hell, but I'll be damned if I'm about to let you set me up, and take that Casino! You sold your half, and I have the right to do whatever the hell I want with it, and it's in Thomas Holdings. Do you need some money or something?" Randi yells "I've suffered Elizabeth! Losing the bar, having a psycho for a Son, that's turned my kids against me, hell one lives with you!" Elizabeth smiles "I just love Tilly. So much like me I love her company. Down to earth like our Mama, but sure didn't take after you." Randi snides "Go to hell Elizabeth." Elizabeth tells her Sister in a blunt tone "You set yourself up your entire life to be a victim, and that episode with you and William's last alcohol relapse before we learned he was dying, that was too far. Ann and Barbara are to me more of Sisters than you could ever be considered, so I don't owe you shit, and there's the door old lady. Go booze up at Tilly's bar." Randi warns Elizabeth "I'm getting back my half, and when I do, out goes Lena. Mama would have never liked her in that office!" Elizabeth quips "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out bitch." Elizabeth returns to the Den, as Randi looks around, and makes a phone call, and says "Meet me at Tilly's."
    At Tilly's (Formerly Randi's Place), Bo sits at the bar, and has a beer, as his Brother Evan arrives, as Bob sits nearby, as Evan tells his Brother "Think I've met myself a man." Bob, slightly buzzed, looks over at them, and says out loud "Well I'll be a son of a bitch.. I.." Bob yells "Bo! What the hell you doing?" Bo yells with joy "Damn Bob! What are you doing in town?" Bob asks Evan "So into boys?" Evan asks "Have a problem with it?" Bob tells Evan "That's up to you, but I know your Brother. I served some time in Lexington, but my best friend Wild Man William got me a state pardon a year before he died, but I didn't make it back in time to see him and thank him." Bo tells Bob "His Son helped me also, and I'm now working for the family." Bob tells him a story, as Bo, and Evan listens, as Bob goes "Lorenzo's like his Papaw. Now that man would kill on sight, so will Lorenzo, so never cross him, and sure as hell don't cross Elizabeth! I swear she hates me, and don't tell her I know you." Bo nods, and agrees, as he asks Bob "So where are you staying?" Bob tells him "At The Benjamin Lodge for the moment.." Bo tells him "Lorenzo is letting Evan and I stay in his Dad's old Cabin up the road by the lake, so hell, he'd want you to..." Bob quips "Saves me some money." Bo and Bob hugs, as Bo and Evan leaves, as Bob sits at the bar, as he sees someone and yells "Hey, over here!" The man turns, and walks over, as he tells the bartender "A cold draft beer." Bob tells the man with a tone of surprise "I'm surprised you came back here again." The man tells him "I am here for one thing, and we belong together. Barbara and me. We have a family, and she lied to her, and two weeks later, from a "visit", with Senior Thomas, Bob.." The man starts to cry, as Bob assures him "She's had it rough, but I've heard she mentions you often." The man tells Bob "Well, that does give me some hope." They hug, as the man, Bob's Oldest Brother, Hugh Jennings, tells him "And stay out of trouble Bob!" Bob laughs "Never." Hugh yells at the bartender "Bring my Brother another pitcher of beer!"
     Back at Sullivan's River Casino, Barbara, Matt, Blake, Sarah, and Cole, sitting on his Great-Grandmother's lap, as Ann sits with them, along with Tilly, as Lacey walks back inside, and tells them "I don't see Cassie or Tyrone. I worry about him." Barbara tells her Granddaughter "That man makes me so sick! I hate him for what he did to his own nephew. How do you redeem yourself from that?" Lacey takes a deep breath, as Ann quips "At least he's good for killing people, and beating the shit out of people for us. Great hitman." Barbara snaps "Well if I had it my damn way Ann, he'd be back in Lexington, but knowing him, he'll be back from what I know." Tilly looks at Blake and Sarah, as Cole holds onto Barbara, as Barbara tells her Great Grandson "You are my Valentine." Ann quips "And now we need to find you a man." Lacey stands outside, as Tilly, Blake, and Sarah walks outside, and Tilly asks them "Ready to go to the Manor Blake?" Blake tells his Mother In Law "I thought we could live with my Grandma." Sarah pleads with her Husband, holding his hand "Please? I love my Aunt Elizabeth, and she is amazing. I know the two of you will get along great!" Blake sighs "But she hates Lacey, and as for my Mom.." Sarah warns him "Don't go there." Lacey listens meanwhile, and tells them "I'm leaving to find my soon to be Husband." Lacey leaves, as Tilly walks inside to get her Grandson, as she tells Barbara "We're going to see Elizabeth. Thank you." Barbara hugs Tilly, as does Ann, J.R., and Jenny, as Barbara tells her "We're blessed." Tilly nods "Yes we are." Felicia walks over, and hugs her Sister, and tells her Great-Nephew "Aunt Felicia's got a surprise for you." Tilly asks "Want to go see Aunt Elizabeth?" Felicia asks "Same feeling I'm having?" Both answer "Mom's there." They head to the Bluebird Manor.
    Back at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo sits on the balcony, and takes a toke from a blunt, as he hangs up his phone, and tells his Wife "Jack's trying something, or my Aunt Randi, I don't know, but Lacey's involved, and I'm about to damn stop it." Nikki, laying on the bed naked, tells him "Call that new guy you hired to go see him." Lorenzo tells her "Baby, I need to deal with this, but it can wait until tomorrow. Mama's ok, and at least she acts a little more like herself." Nikki sighs with joy "I'm glad she's coming back around." At Lena's Loft, in Lena's Bedroom, Lena and Sayyid lay next to each other, as she tells him "I have a feeling my Son will be home soon, or his white girl." Sayyid sighs "So does it mean I have to wait until tonight for more love?" Lena kisses him, and answers "Yes baby, it does." At Tilly's, Randi arrives, as she looks around, and sits at the bar, as Bob yells, in a slurred tone "Hey Miranda, as Elizabeth prefers to call you." Randi turns to him, and in a sassy tone, snaps "Go to hell Bob!" Bob laughs "Three divorces of it!" Randi stares at Hugh for a moment, and goes "Are you who I think.." Hugh nods, and tells his Brother "I'm heading to my room at The Noland Crown, so I'll see you again." Hugh acknowledges Randi as he leaves, and Bob asks Randi, noticing her anger "I am guessing.. You! Went to see your Sister? She cussed you out. Classic Elizabeth.." Randi asks Bob "What's exactly wrong with you? You seem to be enjoying this too much." Bob laughs, as he yells for another pitcher of beer, and adds "And one for Randi the shark!" Randi asks Bob "Are you asking for a duel?" Bob shrugs "I know how you play. William told me everything!" Randi and Bob head for the pool table, as Randi boldly tells him "If I win, you leave me alone. If you win.." Bob answers "Maybe we can catch up on lost time. You know, about one.." Randi warns him "Shut up." Bob makes the first shot, as they begin to play a round of pool together.
     Meanwhile at Noland Crown Plaza Hotel, Roger sits inside the lounge, as Sully walks inside, and their eyes meet, as Roger asks Sully "How's Ruthie doing not being able to see Cain. You are sure lucky we.." Sully walks over, and delivers a blistering slap across Roger's face, as she walks away, and Roger makes a phone call, and goes "I'm on my way." Roger hangs up, as he leaves the hotel. At Lena's Loft, Lena and Sayyid sit in the kitchen, as Lena smokes a blunt, and Sayyid tells her "I think it's time.." Lena sighs "You are a beast, and I love it!" Lena puts out her blunt, as they run to her bedroom, and she turns on some jazz, and they make love. Next door, Martin walks inside, and says to himself, noticing the house empty "Well Felicia, I guess you're with Tilly. and Randi's at the bar running up our tab for the month." At The Bluebird Manor, Tilly, Blake, Sarah, and Cole return, as Elizabeth sits in the den, and they walk inside, as Elizabeth greets them with a hug, and looks at Cole, and tells them "Reminds me of my baby when he was young." Tilly and Sarah smile, as Elizabeth tells her Great-Nephew "I love it that you're walking around again. Told you I'd get you back on track." Blake hugs his Great-Aunt, and tells her "If you ever want to talk about Uncle William, I'd love to hear some someday." Elizabeth assures him "Living here with me, all of you will everyday." Tilly yells 'She means it too!" Elizabeth looks at Tilly, and goes "My favorite Niece." Sarah asks "And what about me?" Elizabeth goes "You too.", as she welcomes Blake and Sarah back home although they'll be staying in Randi's former Mansion. At Sullivan's River Casino, Barbara, Ann, J.R. and Jenny sits inside the lobby, as Ann asks her Sister "Can we stop waiting for the damn spawn and we can all go back to my Mansion for drinks?" Jack sees them, as J.R., and Jenny take deep breaths, and Barbara snaps at her Former Brother In Law "Well you missed it, and now get lost." Ann asks her Ex Husband "So what's this I hear about you and Lacey working together, and likely sleeping together also?" Barbara rolls her eyes, as does J.R. and Jenny, as Jack tells them "I'm going to work for a new company, and get a percentage of ownership of my own division of Lord Incorporated! Then Thomas Holdings." Barbara boldly warns "Try, and you'll regret it." Ann agrees, as Jenny and J.R. walks off, as Jenny looks at her phone, and tells her Brother "Where could Cassie had went that she had to do so immediately. Not like her J.R.." J.R. tells his Sister "She's grown, so she can take care of herself." Jenny hugs him, and then sends her Daughter a text, as Jenny looks at it, as she lays naked inside a hotel room at Sullivan's River Casino Hotel, and goes "Time to get back downstairs to go back home." Tyrone agrees, as they kiss again after having sex. Meanwhile in the parking garage, Lacey looks at her phone, as she calls Tyrone, who has his phone off, and leaves a message, telling him "Remember tonight baby."
   
   

Loma Vista: Episode 35. Two Years Later: Part 1

    Nearly two years has passed since the last episode of Loma Vista was published, and within two years, as much as things change, some stay the same. We left the show with a cliffhanger. And now, after nearly two years, the return of Loma Vista....


      At Sullivan's River Casino, inside a large room, Elizabeth walks inside, as Lena sits down, and tells her friend "This is a first Elizabeth. Your Sister In Law's rented this event room for something." Elizabeth sighs "Her Grandson's returning home with his Wife." Lena looks at Elizabeth, and with sadness in her eyes, asks "William?" Elizabeth wipes a tear from her eye, and tells her "In his sleep, next to me. I miss him so much. It's hard for me these days with family reunions, and knowing someone may show up I detest so damn much..." Lena quips "Then you better get some staff to handle this then. You've been down since William died, and at least Lorenzo and Nicole are well. Lizzie's now a Doctor at the Hospital, and successful. As for Little L, no word from him." Elizabeth snarls "I could kick my Son in the ass for the way he treated him. I have tried to contact him, but no luck." Lena takes a breath, and tells Elizabeth, with a hug "I hope he's happy." Elizabeth nods, and tells Lena "Give my regards to Barbara and everyone when they arrive. I'm going back home." Elizabeth walks out, as Lena sighs with concern, and picks up her phone, and makes a phone call to a Manager, telling them "Handle Ms. Thomas' event. Room is set, and I need to take care of some business." Lena walks out, as she heads to Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, as Elizabeth sits in her office, and looks at a picture of William, and with tears, cries "I miss you so much, especially at Valentine's." Elizabeth takes a deep breath, and kisses the photo of William, and walks out, and locks the door, as she returns to The Bluebird Manor, as it's the One Year Anniversary of William's passing from cancer.
    At Ann's Mansion, overlooking Lake Pittman, Ann walks downstairs, as her Son, Daughter, and Granddaughter sigh of relief, as Jenny asks her Mother "That's a world record. You really outdid yourself." Ann smiles, as J.R. tells her "An ageless beauty my Mama." Ann kisses him, and hugs Cassie, and tells her family "Today's going to be nice to see Blake and Sarah, and their surprise. I bet she's pregnant. He's the child of Scar." Jenny warns her Mother "Don't forget Aunt Barbara's request." Ann quips "Well my bossy Sister can just do as the old saying goes and kiss my ageless ass." J.R. and Jenny looks at each other, as Jenny tells her Brother "At least they get along. But I doubt they would ever last two days together by themselves." J.R. nods in agreement, as Ann yells "Let's go see what's going to happen. You know the other people, the one and only Randi something something will be there, and her children, I like Tilly, but can't stand the others and both of you know.." J.R., Jenny, and Cassie all nods as they finish her sentence, and they head to the Casino. Meanwhile at The Bluebird Manor, Tilly and Felicia sits in the den, as Felicia asks her Sister "Can we have a private chat?" Tilly nods, as they prepare to head to the Casino also, and Felicia asks Tilly "How is Aunt Elizabeth doing? I'm serious. Uncle William's death has really hurt her, and she's not herself anymore, and you know what today is." Tilly tells her Sister "When your Hubby gets off his shift, enjoy every moment tonight. Aunt Elizabeth is quiet mostly, keeps up with Lorenzo, and as we both know about her and Mom, sometimes I yell at the old woman to shut up with her rants about her. Same for Mom since we reconciled after she annulled that last Marriage to Daddy." Felicia laughs "Wow was Aunt Ann pissed, and Diana Adams sure didn't make things easy. I have to say, Mom staying with Martin and I is sometimes crazy. Especially living next door to Lena Houston. and we both know how that is..." Tilly quickly gets up, as she gets a text, and tells her Sister "It's Time. They're at the airport! My Daughter, and my Grandson's coming home!" They head out, as they too head to the Casino.
   At Thomas Holdings, at Bannister Tower, Lorenzo sits at his desk, as he tells the man sitting across his desk "So you like getting your hands dirty?" Bo Williams, sits across from Lorenzo, and tells him "Living down yonder in the South, and raising me and my Bub (Brother), it was pure hell, but I've killed many, and over him, shit! Do you know what that's like down there for a gay man! DAMNIT! Evan's been bullied like hell, and I will kill for him!" Lorenzo sits back, takes a toke from his blunt, and nods "My kind of employee. And before you leave, I want you to know I called Governor Whitten in Adam's Landing, and got that pardon for you." Bo starts to cry, and walks over to Lorenzo, and he stops him, and goes "Don't do hugs. We do business here. Just take that briefcase in the corner, and take these keys. It's my Dad's place. But if my Mama does show up, let her be, she misses him. So please just don't destroy the place, or I will destroy you." Lorenzo pulls out a pistol, and Bo yells "Loud and clear boss!" Bo heads to the door, and Lorenzo tells him "I can relate with the gay Brother, I have a Son who I planned to pass my legacy to into a woman." Bo tells him "Damn." Bo leaves, as Lorenzo's phone rings, as it's Nikki, as she sits inside the living room at their Mansion, as she asks her Husband "So can I start that treasure hunt you wrote about in my text baby?" Lorenzo laughs with a smile "Go for it, but I'm going to Mama's first and give her some candy, and smoke with her." Nikki tells him "Remind her people are worried about her." Lorenzo responds with sadness "Me too Nikki. I miss my Dad, wish I could have spent more time with him, but I mourn for Mama the most. She loved him, and for it to be Valentine's he died, that's tragic. It has really affected her, and I think she needs me more today my love." Nikki agrees, and tells her Husband "I'll have you something waiting for you when you get home." Lorenzo growls, and goes "Alright." They hang up, as Lorenzo heads to The Bluebird Manor, and locks his office, as he heads to the elevator, and yells "Sully?" Sully tells Lorenzo "Closing time already?" Lorenzo, stunned goes "Why are you here?" Sully tells him "I had enough of seeing my Ex Husband running around with that whore I have for a damn Cousin. And her Mother just disgusts me. I want that bitch dead!" Lorenzo asks "So how's your family?" Sully tells him "Daddy, Mom, Grandma, and my Great-Aunt was sad for me to move back, and thanks to my Aunt, I lost my Daughter and Son to my damn.." Lorenzo stops Sully as she starts to cry, and tells her "Did Jamie Lord do this to you?" Sully nods, and goes "She has caused so much hell, and the bitch has nine lives!" Lorenzo sighs "I have a few of those in my family too. I have to go, and I'll see you in the morning." Sully asks "Are you saying you're hiring me back?" Lorenzo tells her "Yes I am. I have missed you." Sully walks over, as Lorenzo hugs her, and whispers "Felicia still works here so you know." Sully asks "Does a pistol come with my desk?" Lorenzo and Sully laughs, as Lorenzo leaves to see Elizabeth, as Sully heads to her room at a new hotel in Loma Vista, called "Noland Crown Plaza Hotel".
      At Thomas Auto, which is now owned by Ann, as a present to her from her Brother, and ran by Matt, and J.R., a man walks around the building, as Matt rushes out, and the man stops him, and asks "Are you Bobbie's Son?" Matt asks "Bob?" Bob Jennings asks with a laugh "Boy you don't remember me?" Matt smiles "Uncle William's best friend! He used to tell stories all the time!" Bob laughs "Oh hell Matt, that man and I went back to grade school, and watching Bobbie..." Matt warns him "You know if you were to call my Mama Bobbie she'd slap the damn shit out of you!" Bob laughs "I know she would. I recall when we were kids and she beat a girl up for calling her that." Matt laughs "And she's got an event planned, and I have to run like hell! Take a look around, and we'll discuss things tomorrow." Bob nods, and walks around, and with a tear in his eye, goes "Well Wild Man, you sure did damn good for yourself! And if Matt and J.R., and hopefully Ann comes down here to tell me what I think, you know this will always be safe from Jack Miller!"
    Back at Sullivan's River Casino, Barbara arrives, and looks around as a manager tells her "Ms. Thomas, I hate to inform you that Elizabeth won't be joining us today. She said to give Sarah, Blake, and Cole a hug from her, and she'll see you soon." Barbara says to herself "Elizabeth has been saying that since William passed away, and since it's Valentine's, and his anniversary, I just feel so sad for her, and wish I could make miracles happen." Randi walks inside, as she's overheard, and quips "Well Barbara, I wanted to tell you, the rational one that I'm about to take back my percentage, and my apparently incompetent Sister's and that other bitch's half!" Barbara takes a deep breath, and politely asks the Manager "Please excuse us." The Manager leaves, as Barbara coldly warns Randi "Let's get something straight Randi. We are here because of my Grandson and your Granddaughter moving back home, and he has a surprise for us, and this will be peaceful. As for you and Elizabeth, she's my Sister as well since she was married to my Brother, and she is really mourning him, so lay off!" Randi snaps "When did you turn into your damn Sister Barbara?" Barbara responds "And why can't you be happy Elizabeth is alive. You missed her so much, then she returned, explained her reasons, and then you try to hurt her, and then Ann.. Look, I'll make it plain, show your ass, and I'll have someone throwing you out of here!" Barbara turns, and walks towards the door, as Lizzie walks inside, and greets her Great Aunt with a hug, and Barbara tells her "You are so beautiful Dr. Thomas." Lizzie smiles, and thanks her, and tells her "Mom and Daddy sends their best wishes on this surprise, but I can't stay long." Randi snarls "Good." Lizzie asks in a provoked tone "Excuse me Randi? Got something to say to me you backwards ass bitch?" Barbara yells at them "Stop it!" Ann arrives with her family, and yells "Hell a good fight always makes these things a hell of a lot of fun. Lighten up there Grandma." Barbara looks at her Sister, and takes a deep breath, as Randi looks at Lizzie, and tells her Great Niece "My Nephew turned into a piece of shit marrying your Mother." Lizzie pushes her Great Aunt, and Ann walks over, and asks Randi, as does Barbara "Excuse us Randi?" Randi snaps "You heard me!" J.R., Jenny, Matt, and Cassie rushes over, as Lizzie, Randi, and now Barbara and Ann joining in, as they defend Lorenzo, and Tilly and Felicia arrives, and rushes over to break up the fight, pulling their Mother away from Lizzie, as Barbara is relaxed by her Son, and J.R., Jenny, and Cassie attempt to pull their Mother away from Randi, as Ann screams "You need to take your withered ass back to your Loft, and enjoy being tortured living next door to the modern day version of my Sister's so called Daughter,  who isn't so damn great, shit she's a.." Barbara yells "DAMNIT! All of you just stop this right now! If not, then there's the damn door, and I'm not tolerating this! So all of you just get along, or shut up!" Everyone begin to talk amongst themselves, as Tilly walks over to comfort Lizzie, as Randi looks at Felicia, and Felicia warns her Mother "You need to stop this before you lose me. If you try another stunt, Tilly's finished, and so am I. And you live with me, so stop attacking my Aunt!" Randi yells "My Sister!". At the front doors into Sullivan's River Casino, a car arrives, as Sarah sits in the driver's seat, and motions for assistance for her Husband, as Blake's paralyzed due to being shot by Zach Miller, who's presently in Lexington Prison serving a long sentence. Blake smiles, as he looks at his Wife, as he tells her "I can't wait to see the look on their faces." Sarah, holding their young Son, Cole, tells him "Me either!"
      Back at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki smokes a blunt, as Lena walks inside, and Nikki asks her Mother "So haven't seen my Brother today, or Sayyid for Valentine's?" Lena sits, and sighs "Well Nicole, I am more worried about Lorenzo's Mama, my best friend. She's so down. She feels like she's a cheat. I know her so well, and she misses William, and I don't know how to help her move on." Nikki sighs with sadness, and empathy, and tells her Mother "Lorenzo's going to be with her for a little while, and she never turns him away." Lena sighs "Another thing. She's turning her back to everything, except the Casino of course, and looks so lost! I'm worried about her baby girl." Lena gets emotional, as Nikki hugs her Mother, as she assures her "Give her some time Mama. We know her, she's tough!" Lena agrees, and tells her Daughter "And so are you. And I need to discuss an idea with you." Nikki asks "What is it?" Lena tells her Daughter of her idea, and Nikki's eyes widen, and she tells her "I think that'd be great! And I'm sure Lorenzo would fund that!" Meanwhile at The Bluebird Manor, Lorenzo walks through the Manor, and the front door opens, as Elizabeth opens the door, and asks her Son, in an annoyed tone "What in the hell are you doing here?" Lorenzo tells his Mother "I know what today is, and I need you." Elizabeth opens her arms, as Lorenzo begins to cry, and tells her "I miss my Dad so much." Elizabeth, also crying tells her Son "I know my sweet boy. Today's so hard, but we'll pull through this." Elizabeth pulls back, and wipes her eyes, as does Lorenzo, as Elizabeth asks her Son "Is that William's favorite candy I see in that bag?" Lorenzo nods, and goes "Would you be my Valentine?" Elizabeth smiles, and answers "Yes sweetie, I will. Now run along to Nikki, and be her Valentine. I'll share ya with her." Elizabeth smiles, as Lorenzo heads home, and Elizabeth locks the door, and returns to her den, as she hears a voice, and she turns, as William's spirit stands in the doorway, and he looks at his Wife, and gently goes "I think it's time you try to move on Elizabeth. I'll always watch over you, Lorenzo, and my family. It's ok to move forward. And it's for the best." Elizabeth backs up, and asks "For the best?" William tells his Wife, as he walks towards her, and holds her hands "You toughen up, and I want to see that fiery woman I loved so much I married her. The one who never walked away from a fight, and certainly wasn't going anywhere. I wish I could still be able to be there, but I'm in your heart." William and Elizabeth kiss, as William's spirit disappears, and a smile comes across Elizabeth's face, as she says with a look of content on her face "I sure will never stop loving you. And if it's for the best, then odds are I am needed after all." Elizabeth sits back down inside the den, and says once again "For the best? William?!?" Elizabeth looks around, as she has a thought, and says to herself "I hope it's not what I'm thinking."
    Back at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lena and Nikki shares a blunt, as Nikki reads a text from Lizzie, and fumes with anger, as she asks her Mother "Has Elizabeth's Sister been down at the Casino bothering you?" Lena coughs, and snaps boldly "Her old ass knows better. I have no trouble calling Sayyid, or your Brother to take care of her. She knows I'll turn straight ghetto on her lakeside ass!" Nikki informs her Mother of Lizzie's run-in with Randi at the casino, as Lena rolls her eyes, and looks up, and says "Lord help me from going down there and ripping up that bitch today!" Nikki asks "What's wrong Mama? You've been frustrated, and I know Tyrone and Lacey living with you can be crazy.." Lena yells "And the damn same for that bitch Elizabeth has for a Sister! Can't catch a break! Makes me wanna move back to Glenwood." Nikki asks again "Now what else is wrong that's really getting at you?" Lorenzo opens the door, and asks "What happened?" Lena looks at her Son In Law, and hugs him, and tells her Daughter and Son In Law "Have fun this Valentines! I know I will when my Sayyid comes home, and the others gonna stay in a room somewhere not in my Loft praise the Lord!" Lena leaves, as Lorenzo asks his Wife, so are you ready?" Lorenzo smiles, and laughs "It was going to be a treasure hunt..." Lorenzo picks his Wife up, as she looks at him, and asks "Do I hear Teddy playing in our bedroom?" Lorenzo smiles, as he takes his Wife upstairs, and they go into their bedroom, where they undress each other, with love in their eyes, and they begin to make love, as the music sets the tone for love.
    At Sullivan's River Casino, Elizabeth returns, as she turns on the security camera, as a guard tells her "Ms. Camden has been here often, and so has Mr. Miller." Elizabeth sarcastically laughs "Shit, don't give him that distinct honor, call him as his Ex Wife Ann does, Jack-Ass." Elizabeth asks the guard, as she notices something on the camera "Who's allowing her in the vault?" The guard's stunned, as Elizabeth snaps "Has she paid you off? If so, I got a gun and will knock you off!" The guard tells her with urgency, and pleading for mercy "Ms. Thomas, I will find out who's behind this, and we'll inform you or Lena immediately." Elizabeth continues to watch the video, as she gasps "Lacey has been seeing Jack?", as hotel footage shows the two at the front desk in the hotel area of the casino, and dismisses the guard, and says to herself "That's where the money's going. But the dumbasses don't know where the damn deed is! But I do!"
     In the large event room at Sullivan's River Casino, Barbara, Matt, Ann, J.R., Jenny, Cassie, and Lizzie sits at their table, as they glare over at Randi, as Tilly and Felicia warns their Mother, as Randi snarls "I'd like to just kick that girl's ass over that attack. Guess the ghetto came out of her." The door opens, as Lacey and Tyrone arrives, and Lizzie yells "My cue to leave!" Lizzie heads to Loma Vista Lakeside Hospital, where she's one of the lead Doctors, and Lacey asks "Where are they?" Barbara tells her Granddaughter, as Tyrone struts over to Randi, and tells her "When you moving?" Felicia snaps at Tyrone "Go to hell thug!" Tyrone walks away with a smirk, as Barbara tells Lacey, as all agree "Should have left Tyrone at home instead of bringing him. All he does is cause trouble." Ann sighs "At least he will kill for a reasonable price.." Lacey tells them "I warned him, and he knows me." Barbara sighs "I wish Scarlet could be here, but she left town again and never returned." Lacey answers "I know where she is. And she said to keep it to me." Ann quips "Shit nobody gives a shit anyway where the Madam is training new whores, likely out in Vegas." Lacey quips "Reno." Ann laughs "Squealer." Barbara also laughs, as J.R., Jenny, Cassie, and Matt talk amongst themselves, the door opens, as Sarah, with Cole walking next to her, walks inside, and Barbara yells "Where's my Grandson?" Blake is pushed to the door, and stands from his wheelchair, and jaws drop throughout the room.

Loma Vista: Episode 34. In The Darkness

   At Randi's Mansion, Diana and Ann walks inside, as Randi asks them "Did I invite you inside MY home?" Diana responds "I don't have to have an invitation Randi. Gerald and I made it clear when Clint died that you could live here as long as you didn't remarry, and you remarried. I wouldn't had known if it wasn't for Lorenzo." Ann meanwhile looks at her Ex-Husband, and quips "Why am I not surprised you ran back into Randi's bed Jackie. I am not shocked. You are really pitiful. I pity you....not." Randi yells at Diana and Ann "I'm not in the damn mood to deal with the two of you. Get out!" Diana looks at Randi and Jack, and sighs "Clint used to always fear this would happen, and I'd tell him it wouldn't." Ann quips at Diana, as she helps herself to the tequila "Well you should have heeded my warning girlfriend." Randi yells at Ann "Who said you could drink my liquor?" Jack meanwhile is silent, as Diana tells Ann "Come on." Diana tells Randi "Better pack your shit, and I'm watching you." Diana and Ann leaves, as Ann looks at Randi and Jack, and laughs "The look on your faces are priceless." Ann pulls out her phone, and takes a photo, as she struts out, as Randi looks at her Husband, and tells him "Damn Jack. The bitch is back, and once again, Lorenzo pulls another move." Jack reminds Randi "We have something that will destroy him, and his life." Meanwhile in Zach's bedroom, Zach says to himself, as he is listening "He's getting his." Meanwhile in Dina's bedroom, Dina climbs out of the window quietly, with her pistol in her purse.
   At The Bluebird Manor, Barbara walks around, as Elizabeth, in a dazed state goes "Please leave me alone Barbara. I know why you're here. Give me time." Barbara sternly tells her Sister In Law "Elizabeth, time is of the essence! William's time is short, and do you want to regret not being there for him? He was there for you." Elizabeth responds "I know Barbara. I have a hard time with these kind of things." Barbara's eyes fill with empathy, as she tells her "I know you do Elizabeth. And you have all the support, and love you could ever imagine. The Thomas' are a united family, don't you forget that." Elizabeth falls to the floor, as she screams "Damnit I didn't come back to be a widow!" Barbara bends down, and gently tells Elizabeth "Get up sweetie." Barbara holds her Sister In Law, and wipes her tears, as Elizabeth's eyes are filled with sadness, and tells her "You'd feel better if you go be with William, and he wants you. And I doubt he even called Adam's Landing. He's stubborn like you." Elizabeth asks "Do you think he can be saved?" Barbara tells Elizabeth "Only one way to know. Say the word, and I'll call the airport." Elizabeth looks at Barbara, and hugs her, and tells her "You remind me so much of Myrtle." Barbara shrugs "I learned a lot from my Mama, now let's go to William's." Elizabeth heads to her bedroom, as Barbara looks around, and watches the news, as she sighs with disgust "Better not let me see you Zach. I got a bullet waiting for you." Elizabeth walks out with her suitcase, as she goes "So you hate my Sister and her Son also." Barbara quips "I think that's one thing Ann and I have in common, but please don't tell her." Elizabeth smiles, as her and Barbara leaves for William's Home, where Lizzie sits in the living room, as William wakes and goes "Mama?" Lizzie tells her Grandfather "It's me Papaw." William, in a dazed state goes "I swear my Mama was just here. She was sitting in the rocker. She's waiting for me." Lizzie tells him "Papaw it's likely the medicine." William tells his Granddaughter "If you see someone that's passed, it means one thing, their here for you." Lizzie holds back her emotions, as William gets up, and walks onto the back deck, and Lizzie starts to cry.
    At The Benjamin Lodge, Scarlet returns to her room, as she looks around, and says to herself "I need to figure this out. I'm not dying for Lorenzo." At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo sits inside his study, as Nikki walks inside, and asks her Husband "You've been up here for awhile. What's wrong? Zach's release from Riverside? Dina?" Lorenzo nods, and tells his Wife "She's crazy, and he is better off dead. And I want him dead." Nikki reminds him "So does most of your family baby. There's some things you just can't control." Lorenzo looks at his Wife, and sighs "I guess you're right. If I had it my way, Zach would have been killed, and I'd killed Dina." Nikki quips "If she comes around you again, or our home, I got her." Lorenzo smiles "I love this side of you." Nikki asks her Husband "Are you hinting that you want to go to the bedroom and mess around?" Lorenzo goes "I will accept." Nikki tells him in a seductive tone "Ok. Go to the bedroom, and get undressed." Lorenzo walks out, as Nikki follows, as they walk into their bedroom, and Nikki jumps on her Husband, as they land on the bed, and Lorenzo and Nikki takes off each others clothes as they begin to make love. Back at The Benjamin Lodge, Scarlet holds her phone, as she has a flashback (At The President's Room, Lacey asks her Mother, as Scarlet grows silent "I will make the call Mom. He's not about to kill you for what he did, and hurt Blake." Scarlet tells her Daughter "Well Lacey, you make the call.) Scarlet calls Lacey, as she gets no response. At Lacey's Apartment, Lacey's on the phone with a receptionist at the tabloid "The Exposer", and tells them "I got a story that will make both of us millions." The receptionist tells Lacey "Ms.Evans will be back later. But I'll tell her." Lacey hangs up, as she says to herself "Well payback has arrived Lorenzo, Aunt Elizabeth, Grandma, Aunt Ann. It's all about to be out in the open."
    Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Sarah has returned, as Blake sits in the living room, as Matt asks his Cousin "You're really convinced Scarlet's changed?" Blake tells him "I'd like to think so Matt. She came by, and treated Cole so nice." Sarah walks downstairs, as she tells her Husband "Mom sent a message today for Scarlet to stay away from our Son." Blake turns to his Wife, and snaps "Why in the hell did you tell Tilly about my Mom visiting? There's some things you just need to stay quiet about! She may have changed her ways." Sarah sighs "I don't think she has Blake. Something seems to be off with her." Blake yells "Grandma believes in her! She wouldn't have pulled strings to have her released otherwise!" Matt meanwhile walks into the kitchen, as Blake and Sarah argues, as Matt looks into the living room, and takes a deep breath, as he has a flashback (At Thomas Auto four months earlier, Matt sits in his office, as J.R. walks inside, and tells his Cousin "Lorenzo's expecting a child." Matt goes "Nikki's pregnant?" J.R. shakes his head, and responds "Not Nikki." Matt rolls his eyes, as he's shocked, and J.R. tells his Cousin "Dina Monroe.") Matt has a thought, and says to himself "Mama's getting unpredictable nowadays. Sarah's right, something is off with everything.
   At Ann's Mansion, Ann returns, as J.R., Jenny, Phillip, and Cassie sits inside the living room, as Ann looks at her Son In Law, and snaps "Well look who's returned. The man who planted the seed in Scar that could have killed my Brother." Jenny rolls her eyes, as she warns her Mother "Mama, now's not the time." Ann, in a buzzed tone, asks "Well, when is the right time Jenny? He's been with Scar, and now he's married to you. To you!" Phillip looks at his Wife, as he tells Jenny "I think I'm not welcomed here." Ann yells "You are damn right Mr. Police Commissioner you're not welcome in my damn house. Go screw yourself. Call your ex, and show Jenny how much of a piece of shit you really are. Better yet, find Lacey, and warn her that if she hits anyone else related to me, that I give a damn about, I'll have her and her Mama in the bottom of Lake Pittman!" Cassie yells "Nanny! Stop it. Give Phillip a chance! I like him..." Ann yells "Then go pack your bags. Here Phillip, honeymoon over!" Jenny warns her Mother "You called Cassie and had her quit college for a job, and now going to throw her out?" Ann snides "Well, you're her Mama, and she needed to meet the sorry bastard you've married." Meanwhile J.R. walks outside, as he sighs "Damn. Looks like Mama had too much booze." A car pulls up in the driveway, as Sully gets out, and asks J.R. "Where's Ann?" J.R. tells Sully "I don't think now'd be a good time to interrupt." Sully hears Ann, Jenny, and Cassie argue, as Sully goes "I see it's a small world." J.R. quips "Give my Mama some liquor, and she starts raging." Sully tells him "She's always so sweet to me and my girls." J.R. responds "She likes you. That's why." Sully tells J.R. "I was going to introduce her to my Aunt Ava, but I'll just wait until tomorrow." Sully leaves, as J.R. looks towards the door, and says to himself "She is attractive. Priorities in check. On Mama's good side, and she's pushing it. One thing that'll make her happy." Inside, Jenny yells at her Mother "Either accept Phillip and me or I'm cutting my losses!" Ann, drinking from her bottle of liquor, throws it at Phillip, and screams "Just get out of here Jenny, and stay gone! Take that son of a bitch with you too!" Jenny tells Phillip "You heard her." They leave, as Cassie follows, and Ann kicks Phillip, and he falls down the stairs, as she begins to attack him, and J.R. and Cassie pulls her off, as Jenny screams "You've went too damn far!" Ann snarls "Not far enough. The lake's just across the road." J.R. tells his Niece "Just go with your Mama. I got her." Jenny, Phillip, and Cassie leave, as Jenny's angry, as Phillip tries to tell his Wife "You know how she is." Jenny sighs "I do. She never lets go of a grudge." Back at Ann's Mansion, J.R. asks his Mother "You're going to run Jenny away acting like this." Ann tells her Son, as she lights a cigarette "I've seen two bastards today, your Father, and Phillip Mason. Heed my advice, he's going to hurt her, and I'm only protecting her." J.R. walks his Mother inside, as she passes out on the couch, and J.R. leaves for the evening.
    At Randi's Mansion, Tilly, Felicia, and Martin arrives, as Randi and Jack tells their Daughters of Diana's visit, as Tilly tells her Mother "I'm not helping you Mom. And I highly doubt Aunt Elizabeth will allow you in the manor." Randi tells her Daughters "Jack and I are about to destroy her with what Lorenzo's done." Felicia asks "And what exactly has he done besides put Sully Jackson over Duncan's?" Randi gasps "Excuse me?" Felicia adds "And the bitch wants me fired!" Jack tells everyone "Lorenzo's version of loyalty. If your last name isn't Thomas, you're at the bottom of the totem pole." Tilly meanwhile tells her Parents "I don't want to get involved in whatever the two of you's scheming." Zach walks into the living room, as Tilly yells "I'm out of here before I kill that piece of shit." Randi yells "He's changed." Tilly responds coldly "He caused Sarah to miscarry, and Blake to be paralyzed. Karma's a bitch Mom." Tilly walks out, as Randi goes "Too bad she isn't here to hear the news about the new addition to the family." Felicia asks "What new addition?" Jack looks at Zach, and asks his Son "Where is she?" Zach tells his Father "Asleep." Felicia looks at her Husband, as Martin goes "I have to be at the hospital early tomorrow." Felicia tells them "I've got my own ass to protect, and I'm already on the Thomas family shit list. So count me out." Felicia and Martin leaves, as Zach tells his Parents "Dina's gone." Randi and Jack turns to Zach, as Randi asks "Did she jump?" They walk into Dina's bedroom, as Dina's returned, and Randi tells her Son "She was just being quiet." Dina snaps "Now let me get back to sleep!" Randi smiles "Sweet dreams Dina." Randi and Jack walks out, as they call it a night, as Zach asks Dina "Where have you been?" Dina tells him "I wanted a late snack. Now let me sleep." Zach warns Dina "Stop playing games." Dina pulls out her pistol, and asks "And what if I don't? Beat me blue like you did to Haley?" Zach walks out, as Dina laughs to herself. Meanwhile, outside Felicia's loft, Ava knocks at Felicia's door, and says to herself "Well she must be out partying. I'll just surprise her tomorrow on the job." Ava heads to the elevator, as she puts her pistol into her purse, and return to Sully's Estate for the night.
    As night's fallen, at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo and Nikki lay in bed, as they are naked, and Nikki tells her Husband "I think I could grow to enjoy you not working so much." Lorenzo kisses his Wife, and tells her "I think so too baby." Inside Lorenzo's Study, his phone rings, as it's silenced. At Barbara's Home, Barbara walks inside, as Matt sits downstairs, and asks his Mother 'How's Uncle William?" Barbara walks over to the refrigerator, and pulls out a bottle of red wine, and pours a glass, and sighs "He's brave. And Elizabeth's over there. So he has what he wants." Matt asks his Mother, changing subjects "Did you play a role in Scarlet being pardoned from Prison Mama?" Barbara tells him "I talked to Phillip. But I'm not dumb, and not going to play dumb. One wrong move, back to Lexington she goes." Upstairs, Sarah helps Blake from his wheelchair, into bed, as Cole cries, and Sarah walks over to hold him, as Blake asks his Wife "So are you going to give my Mom a chance?" Sarah turns, and tells her Husband "Scarlet hurt my Mother, and I'm sorry, but I can't." At William's Home, William and Lizzie sits inside the living room, as they watch a movie, and William tells his Granddaughter "I'm glad you're here." Lizzie tells her Grandfather "I'm asking for leave tomorrow from the hospital to care for you." William sternly goes "Keep working. It'll make me very proud of you." The door opens, as Elizabeth walks inside, as Lizzie is silent, as William looks at his Wife, and gets up, and walks over to her, and Elizabeth touches his face, and William tells her "It won't be long." Elizabeth tells her Husband "You didn't give up on me, and we're in this fight together, and my mission's to cure you." Elizabeth and William holds each other, as William cries, as does Elizabeth. Meanwhile at The Bluebird Manor, Tilly unlocks the door, and takes a deep breath, as she notices her Aunt's not there, and sighs "One hell of a day." At Lacey's Apartment, Lacey prepares to leave, as she opens the door, and Tyrone walks inside, as he looks at Lacey, and tells her "Let's go back to.." They begin to kiss, as Lacey wraps her legs around Tyrone, as he tears off her clothes. Meanwhile at The Benjamin Lodge, in Scarlet's room, Scarlet's body is in the floor, in a pool of blood, as she's been shot in the head, and lays dead.
 
   
 
 

 

Loma Vista: Episode 33. The Breakdown

   At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo and Sully sits inside his office, as Ann walks inside, and asks her Nephew and Sully "How are the two of you holding up?" Lorenzo asks his Aunt "Discussing business, and Felicia's issues." Ann quips "Felicia has always had issues with something. Typical for her. Got it from her whoring Mama. But the one thing Felicia didn't inherit from Randi was the slut gene." Sully asks Ann "Since you're on the board, let me get you into this discussion." Lorenzo is silent, as he takes a deep breath, as Sully asks "One, would you be ok if Lorenzo took time off to take care of his Daddy? And two, how would you feel if I were to, umm, fire Felicia?" Ann lights a cigarette, as she looks up, and goes "Well Sully. I love your ideas. I think you are onto something. But don't fire Felicia, let her go out on her own. I was her Step-Mother." Sully asks Lorenzo and Ann "What's the two of you got against getting rid of dead weight?" Lorenzo looks at his phone, as he tells them "Nikki's just sent a text. Mama's having a meltdown." Ann tells her Nephew "Well sweetie, go check on Elizabeth, and I'll discuss things with Sully." Lorenzo leaves, as Ann tells Sully, as she makes sure Lorenzo gets on the elevator "I agree with you 100% on Felicia. You're Co-CEO, don't be afraid to flaunt your power around here, and if she has a problem with it, she can go to hell!" Sully looks at Ann, and hugs her, as she goes "I want to thank you for being there for me since I've moved here, and my Daughters love you, and call you "Grandma"." Ann smiles, and quips "It's Nanny. Now I have to go, and tell those sweet babies I am going to send them some toys soon." Sully sighs "Oh please don't." Ann walks out, as Sully sits back, and says "As the quote goes, bye bye Felicia."
   At The Bluebird Manor, Elizabeth sits inside the den, as she is silent, and smokes a blunt, as her body shivers, as she cries for William, as there's a knock at the door, and Lena and Nikki stands on the other side, as Nikki pulls out her key, as she looks at her Mother, and Lena tells her Daughter "Open the door baby girl. I got you." Nikki unlocks the door, as they walk in and Nikki yells for her Mother In Law, as Lena whispers "I think she's in the den. I smell weed." Nikki and Lena walks into the den, as it's darkened, and Elizabeth snaps in anger "Did Lizzie tell the two of you to come over here? Can't anyone get the damn memo to leave me the hell alone!" Lena tells Elizabeth "This isn't the Elizabeth Thomas I know." Elizabeth responds "Well this is me now Lena! My Husband's dying, and he waited too long for help!" Elizabeth starts to cry, as Nikki tells her Mother In Law "Go see him!" Elizabeth yells "I can't! I can't watch him die Nikki!" Lena sighs "Do you want us to drag your ass out of here and take you to him?" Elizabeth yells at Lena and Nikki "How about the two of you just leave me the hell alone!" Lena looks at Elizabeth, as she sits in her chair, and cries, and tells her "You know where I am if you.." Elizabeth screams "Get out!" Lena and Nikki leave with sadness in their eyes, as Elizabeth screams from the den "Can't everyone just mind their own damn business and leave me the hell alone! Alone is what I'm about to be anyway." Outside, Nikki looks at her Mother, as Lena hugs her Daughter, and assures her "Elizabeth's only hurting." Nikki takes a deep breath, and sighs "She's shutting down Mama. Dad doesn't need this." Lena tells her "It'll take more than us to help her." Lena and Nikki leaves, as inside, Elizabeth walks through the manor, and unplugs the phones from the cords, and throws her phone across the room, shattering it, as she yells "Maybe now everyone will get the damn point!" Elizabeth pulls out her pistol, and walks into her den, as she puts it on the table by her chair, as she turns on the TV, and cries.
    At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Barbara and William are inside his room, as William asks his Sister "Have you heard from Elizabeth yet?" Barbara hangs up her phone, and responds "The landline's busy, and her cell's going to voicemail." William shakes his head, as he tells her "Well just take me back home. I'm ready to get the hell out of the damn hospital. I'll be dead before Elizabeth shows up." Barbara gently hits her Brother, and goes "Don't say that, and apparently you can't leave unless somebody's with you." William sighs "Always following rules aren't you Barbara? Didn't stop you from killing Duke all those years ago." Barbara grins "The benefits of being a Thomas. But you need to realize you're not able to be by yourself, and won't be. Even if I have to move you in with me." William defiantly goes "I'm staying in my damn house!" Lizzie arrives, as she hugs her Grandfather, and Great-Aunt, as Lizzie asks William "So I hear you can go home as long as someone's there with you, and with that, start packing up." William asks his Granddaughter "I thought you were getting an apartment?" Lizzie tells him "Nope. Mamaw kicked me out..." Barbara asks in shock "She did what? Kicked you out?" Lizzie nods, and sighs "She hates me. She's angry right now, and later I'll drive by and see if she has let Tilly stay there, if so then she hates me." Barbara shakes her head, as William tells Lizzie "Well, since you're staying with me. Take me home!" Martin meanwhile walks inside, along with Felicia, as William asks his Niece "How's your marriage with the Doctor?" Felicia asks her Uncle "How are you holding up?" William exclaims "About to break out of here!" Martin tells Lizzie "Get him out of here." William walks into the bathroom, as Felicia looks at Barbara, as she starts to pack up, and tells her "We need to talk about Sully Jackson being Co-CEO.." Barbara snaps "Now? William's dying, and you want to discuss business? Not now. Is that why you came down here?" Martin rolls his eyes, and tells his Wife "I think you have had a few too many shots with Tilly." Lizzie meanwhile's silent, as Barbara asks Felicia "So you've been getting tipsy with your Sister? Why the hell aren't you at your office?" Felicia snaps at Barbara "I expect this from the wicked witch known as your Sister, but not from you!" Barbara tells Martin "You better drive her home. And may want to get her out of my damn sight!" Felicia walks out, as Lizzie asks her Great-Aunt "What was that?" Barbara asks Lizzie "Did you just watch the news?" Martin runs out, as Barbara tells Lizzie "Zach's out of Riverside. And Felicia should damn know better than to come here and discuss business!" William walks out of the bathroom, and tells Lizzie "Well take me home." Barbara hugs her Brother, as he asks his Sister "What were you raising hell about Barbara?" Barbara sighs "Felicia had too many shots of vodka at the bar." William and Lizzie leaves, as Barbara says to herself "And I'm not done." Barbara walks out, and eyes Martin and Felicia in the hallway, and warns her "Tell Randi that if I see Zach, his ass is dead!" Barbara leaves, as Felicia asks her Husband "Have I missed something?" Martin sighs "There was a breakout at Riverside." Felicia rolls her eyes, as she sighs with disgust "Well today just gets worse as it goes along."
    Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Randi, Jack, Zach, and Dina sits inside the living room, as Randi, Jack, and Dina have drinks, as Zach tells his parents "Dina's our ticket to destroying Lorenzo, and Aunt Elizabeth. And Uncle William as well." Randi warns her Son "He's dying. Leave it alone with him." Jack reminds his Wife "He has my company Miranda!" Randi looks at her Husband, and tells him "And when he passes, then you can talk to J.R. and then start fighting. I've never had any problems with William, and he deserves some peace in his last days." Randi meanwhile turns to Dina, and asks "So Dina, what do you know that can help me?" Dina tells Randi "Ms.Camden..." Randi goes "It's Miller." Dina sighs "Whatever, Lorenzo had a child with me..." Randi drops her glass of tequila, as Jack gasps "Oh shit! If we sold this story..." Randi yells "Jack Miller shut up with it!" Zach yells "Why not Mom? Do you think if this was us, that they'd let us off so easy? Hell I've been shot by Aunt Elizabeth, and beaten by the damn Thomas family!" Randi sighs "I don't want to burn my bridge with William. I did some bad things recently, and I don't give a shit about Elizabeth, Lorenzo, Ann, or the rest of them, but William's always been the nicest one on that side, and ignored my Sister's advice to have me killed." As Randi, Jack, and Zach argue, Dina walks into her room, as she pulls out her pistol, and has a flashback (At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Dina sees her child, as a C-section's performed, and the baby's taken away, as Dina screams for her child, and a nurse walks over, and sticks a syringe into her arm.) Dina looks outside, as she has a thought. Zach meanwhile walks into Dina's bedroom, and asks "What are you doing with that pistol?" Dina tells Zach "I need more bullets." Zach responds "No problem." Back inside the living room, Randi looks at her Husband, and tells Jack "I just had an excellent idea. Let's go over and visit the black sheep." Jack rolls his eyes, and asks "Are you talking about Nikki?" Randi smiles, and goes "Yes. I'd like to tell that bitch the news to see her cry a river." Jack tells her "No Miranda." Back in Dina's Bedroom, Dina looks at Zach, as they listen to his parents, as Zach and Dina look into each other's eyes, and Dina tells him "I think your Mom's onto something." Zach quips "A death wish."
    At Tilly's, Tilly walks around her new bar, as movers begin to bring in tables, as Tilly talks to advertisers on the phone, as Sarah, with Cole walks inside, as Tilly hangs up the phone, and walks over to hug her Daughter and Grandson, and Sarah tells her Mother "Looks like everything's coming along nicely Mom." Tilly opens her arms, as she holds Cole, and goes "Yes it is Sarah. We should be open within the next few days. Where's Blake?" Sarah goes "Back home. He took a nap, and it was a good time for us to sneak down here." Tilly ask "Sneak? Why do you say that for?" Sarah tells her Mother "Scarlet showed up earlier, and seemed cordial." Tilly's eyes widen, as she asks Sarah "Did she try to hurt you? Or Cole?" Sarah shakes her head, and goes "Nope. But something didn't add up. Felt like she was kissing our asses." Tilly hands Cole to Sarah, and walks over to the bar, and pours a drink, and sighs "That sounds like the Scarlet I loathe so much. Starts out so nice, and then turns, and destroys your life forever." Sarah tells her Mother "Blake is completely convinced she's changed, and apparently Barbara's supporting her, and pulled some strings for Blake's sake." Tilly sternly warns her Daughter "Sarah Walton, I want to make one thing completely clear, I don't want that evil whore anywhere around Cole! It's bad enough Lacey's walking around, but Scarlet's another topic, and if she comes around again, it'll be the last time." Sarah looks outside, as she looks towards Ann's Mansion, as she asks "Want to tell Ann?" Tilly asks "Well is she home?" Sarah shakes her head, as she goes "Looks like Jenny and her Husband's arrived, and J.R." Tilly tells Sarah "Take Cole home, and I'm going over there to visit your Aunt and Uncle." Sarah and Cole leaves, as Tilly heads across the road, as Cassie welcomes her Mother and Step-Father home, as Jenny asks her Daughter "Where's my Mama?" J.R. walks out of the kitchen, as he goes "Well Sissy, good you're home." J.R. hugs his Sister and Brother In Law, as Phillip tells Cassie and J.R. "It's sad about William." Jenny asks Cassie "Weren't you supposed to be in college back in Valley Ridge?" Cassie responds "Nanny told me she had a job waiting for me." Jenny rolls her eyes, as Tilly knocks at the door, and J.R. answers, as he hugs her, and Cassie yells "Aunt Tilly!" Tilly hugs her Niece, as Jenny asks her Sister "Lorenzo let you have back the bar and your Mother?" Tilly responds "Only Sarah and I. Now to business." Tilly's eyes turn towards Phillip, as she boldly asks "What in the hell were you thinking letting Scarlet go free?" Jenny warns Tilly "If you came here to start trouble, go back to the bar. It's already enough Uncle William's sick, and my Mama's pissed over Phillip and I." Tilly snaps "Well Jenny, where is your Mama?" J.R. quips "Maybe at your Mama's Tilly. She knows about Randi and our Dad." Tilly rolls her eyes, as she walks towards Phillip, and slaps him, and yells "Your family are a damn joke Phillip." Tilly storms out, as J.R. looks towards Jenny and Phillip, as Cassie sighs "Looks like some things haven't changed." Jenny goes "Tilly's still a bitch." Phillip tells them "And I dread what freeing Scarlet could do to me since Diana's in town." Jenny asks "What about Diana? Diana Adams?" Phillip nods, as he tells his Wife "When she learns of this, my career's done."
   At Thomas Holdings, Sully sits inside her office, as she reads Duncan's sales reports, as the secretary pages "Your Aunt's here Ms.Jackson." Sully goes "Let her in." Ava walks inside, as she quips "Look at my sweet Niece. I have sure missed you back home." Sully runs into her Aunt's arms, as Sully and Ava embrace, as Sully tells her Aunt "You're probably the only person besides Gracie and Xavier Jr I miss back home." Ava sits down, and asks "So how's Loma Vista treating you sweetie? It's grown since I was last here over thirty five years ago." Sully sighs "It's ok. Ruthie and Bethany's healthy. Aunt Ciarra's doing well for her age, but my heart's broken." Ava's eyes fill with sadness, as she tells Sully "You miss Xavier and Beth. Just know they're watching over you, and are proud of you Sully." Sully tells her Aunt "Would you be proud of me with this merger?" Ava sits back, and tells her "Xavier would support it, and it benefits Thomas Holdings, and Jackson Inc, and therefore, it has my support. Now about your pain in the ass." Sully snarls "Felicia." Ava asks "How is she causing you grief?" At Felicia's Loft, Felicia walks inside, as she sighs "Well today's been a nightmare. Sully, Barbara, what else could go wrong?" Suddenly, Felicia hears loud music, and yells "Turn the damn music off!" There's a knock at Felicia's door, as she answers, and it's Tyrone, as he snaps "What's your problem bitch? All you do since you moved in our neighborhood is gripe and bitch, bitch." Felicia warns Tyrone "I don't like being called a bitch." Tyrone snaps in a hateful tone "And I don't like you, your Mama, or your Aunt. Why don't you and the Doctor take your white asses on someplace else." Felicia asks "Are you threatening me thug?" Tyrone pulls up his shirt, and asks "What if I am? What you gonna do?" Felicia sees Tyrone's pistol, and shuts the door, as Tyrone forces it back open, and snaps "One more time." Tyrone walks back to his Mother's loft, as Felicia slams her door with disgust, as she picks up her phone. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki returns, as Lorenzo sits on the couch, and smokes a blunt, as Nikki asks her Husband "I thought you said you were quitting?" Lorenzo sighs with disgust "Well baby, looks like I'm not." Nikki sits next to Lorenzo, as she asks him "Is everything getting to you?" Lorenzo's phone rings, as he hands Nikki his blunt, and walks upstairs to his study, as Nikki takes a hit, and calls Lizzie, who's arrived with her Grandfather back at his home, as Nikki asks her Daughter "How's your Papaw?" Lizzie tells her Mother "I'm staying here Mom. He's missing Mamaw." Nikki tells her "Tell Dad I love him." Lizzie goes "I will." Lizzie hangs up, as William sleeps in his recliner, as Lizzie watches her Grandfather. Back at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo sits in his study, with the door shut, as he tells Scarlet, who's at The President's Room with Lacey "You owe me now." Scarlet snaps "I done my part, so now I don't owe you shit!" Lorenzo yells "The hell you don't! Wasn't for me, you'd be in prison whore! You failed, and you knew the damn deal!" Lorenzo hangs up. At The President's Room, Scarlet has fear in her eyes, as Lacey tells her Mother "Don't fear Lorenzo. His downfall's around the corner." Scarlet smiles, as she looks at the tabloid "The Exposer", "Yes it is Lacey. And it will hurt him." Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Randi and Jack sits together on the couch, as they kiss, and in Dina's bedroom, the door's shut, as Zach tells Dina "I think I'm falling for you." Zach attempts to kiss Dina, as she warns him "Ok, don't get emotionally attached. All I want is one thing, my Son. So you need to help me, or else." At The Bluebird Manor, Elizabeth sits in the den, as she watches the news, and smokes a joint, and sighs, as she pulls out her pistol "Well Dina, your ass is mine." There's a knock at Elizabeth's door, as she yells "Go away!" They knock again, and Elizabeth, with the joint hanging from her mouth, and pistol in hand, walks to the door, and opens, as Barbara walks inside, and sternly tells her Sister In Law "Pull it together and take care of my Brother or I'll help you." Barbara pulls Elizabeth's joint out of her mouth, and stomps it, as Elizabeth is silent. Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, there's a knock at the door, as Dina pulls out her pistol in her bedroom, as Zach tries to walk out, and Dina aims at him, and Zach sits down. In the living room, Randi walks up to the door, as Diana stands on the other side, with Ann, as Diana tells Randi "Congratulations on the marriage. Ann and I thought we'd help you pack." Randi asks "For Jack and I's honeymoon?" Ann laughs, as Diana sighs "No, to move the hell out of my Brother's home whore."
 
 
 
 

Loma Vista: Episode 32. The Great Escape

   It's the next morning in Loma Vista, and sadness is in the hearts of many, as Elizabeth sits on the back deck at William's Home, as she smokes a blunt, and watches the lake, as her phone rings, and she presses the ignore button, as she says to herself "I just can't believe this." At Ann's Mansion, Ann sits in the kitchen, as she drinks coffee, and smokes a cigarette, as Cassie walks inside, and asks her Grandmother "How are you holding up?" Ann sighs "I feel like a part of me is dying. My little Brother is hurting and there's nothing I or anyone can do about it. When Barbara and I were young, we always protected William, and now here he is, with the same damn disease that killed your true Grandpa Victor. Damn." Ann starts to cry, as Cassie hugs her, and tells her "I talked to Mom, and she and Phillip's on their way back." Ann goes "Well good. And hopefully Phillip can get his daredevil spawn with Madam Scar in check." Meanwhile at The Bluebird Manor, Tilly yells for her Aunt, as Lizzie walks inside, and Lizzie asks her Cousin "Mamaw didn't come home last night?" Tilly tells her Cousin "No. She's not handling this well at all. She's always been strong, but this is really getting to her." Lizzie tells Tilly "She hates me." Tilly stops Lizzie, and boldly tells her "Elizabeth loves you, and she is just hurting. Give her time, and she'll understand." Lizzie tells her "Papaw wants her with him." Tilly sighs "I think I may know where she is." At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, William is awake, as he watches a western, as Barbara walks inside, with breakfast, as William quips "Thank God you went down to Pancake House." Barbara tells her Brother "I know how you are about hospital food, so I figured it'd be wise. Later if you're still here, I'll bring something from Montana Steakhouse." William tells his Sister "I just want my Wife." Barbara hugs her Brother, as he cries, and Barbara comforts him.
    At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo sits inside his study, as he prepares to leave for Thomas Holdings, as he receives a text from Scarlet, and replies "Keep her in there, or you know your fate." Nikki walks inside, and asks her Husband "Who was that?" Lorenzo tells his Wife "Mama." Nikki tells him "I'm worried about Elizabeth. She isn't taking Dad's cancer well at all. I'm scared for her." Lorenzo sighs "Me too baby. I can't believe the strongest man I know is dying." Lorenzo starts to cry, as Nikki hugs her Husband, and tells him "My Mama's going to check on Elizabeth with me today, and try to get her to be with Dad. I also called Ann, but couldn't understand a word she said." Lorenzo goes "Aunt Ann doesn't handle these things well at all. When Uncle Victor died, she was in Riverside for two months." Nikki goes "Damn." Lorenzo tells his Wife with dread "I think we're in for a battle my love. And I'm going to leave the weed alone to keep my mind straight and handle things." Nikki kisses her Husband, and tells him "You're a strong man Lorenzo. I love you." Lorenzo tells Nikki, as he hugs her "I love you. I'll see you at the Hospital." Lorenzo heads to Thomas Holdings, as Nikki pulls out a blunt, and says to herself "Everything is falling apart. Poor Elizabeth." Nikki leaves, as she heads over to her Mother's Loft, as Lena walks out of her bedroom, as Lacey's naked on the couch, as Lena yells "Put some damn clothes on you skank!" Lacey snaps "Who in the hell are you talking to?" Lena snaps "Who do you think I'm talking to? If you keep staying here, your ass will be paying rent in benjamins trash." Tyrone walks out of his bedroom, as Lena yells at her Son "And you put on some damn pants! I don't want to see this shit." Lena walks out, as she says to herself "A porno in my damn loft. Shit!" Tyrone looks at Lacey, as he asks "Want to continue?" Lacey jumps Tyrone, as they have sex on the couch.
    At Randi's Mansion, Randi is dressed, as Jack walks into the living room, and kisses his Wife, and asks her "Did you call Zach?" Randi tells her Husband "Yes I did. He may get to come home. He's been behaving, and he's clean, and it'll be a new start for him." Jack tells Randi "Did you hear from any of our other kids?" Randi sighs "No I haven't." Jack tells her "Jenny called earlier and said William's dying from cancer." Randi's eyes widen, as she asks "What? Your kidding." Jack shakes his head, and tells her "Ann isn't taking it well, and I hear Elizabeth isn't doing well either." Randi tells Jack, as she has a thought "This could be our chance." Jack asks her "To take back Miller Enterprises from the Thomas family?" Randi nods, and adds "And I could get my share of Mama's Casino back, and we could make money. They'll be distracted. I feel bad for William, but karma's a bitch." Jack laughs "Things are working perfectly." At The President's Room, Diana Camden Adams, Sister of Clint Camden, sits inside, as she asks a bartender "So Matilda Miller manages here?" The bartender tells Diana "She resigned this morning." Diana asks "Does her Mother ever appear here?" The bartender shakes his head, as he pours Diana a glass of cognac, and asks "Why are you so curious about Randi Camden?" Diana quips "I grew up in Loma Vista. We went to school together, and I'm catching up where I left off when I moved away." The bartender walks away, as Diana opens her purse, and pulls out a small photo album, and says to herself "I'm really catching up, and about to kick Randi Miller's sorry ass out on the street. She knew the deal."
    Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Sarah brings Cole downstairs, as Blake tells his Wife "Haley went to the Hospital. Are you ready to see Uncle William?" Sarah, holding their Son, asks "Do you think we should take Cole there? There's germs in a Hospital." There's a knock on the door, and Blake rolls himself, in his wheelchair to the door, and gasps, as he goes "Mom?" Scarlet starts to cry, as Sarah screams "Get the hell out of this house you evil bitch!" Scarlet looks at Sarah, and tells her "I'm not here to hurt anyone, I'm here to make sure Blake's alright, and meet my Grandson. By the way, I was pardoned, and out of the Madam business." Blake goes "Grandma or Lacey must have spoke to you." Scarlet nods, and asks her Son "So Zach Miller did this?" Sarah's eyes are full of rage, as Blake sighs with sadness "Yes. And when I can walk, I'm killing him." Scarlet tells him "Don't worry Blake. I'll put some bullets in him. Phillip Mason knows I got too much damn dirt on him and we share a child." Sarah asks her Mother In Law "You are really acting likable? What's your scheme?" Scarlet goes "Nothing! I just want to be a part of my family, and be here for my Grandson. May I hold him?" Sarah is hesitant, as Blake warns her "Mom don't pull anything." Blake motions for Sarah to let Scarlet hold her Grandson, as Sarah hands Cole over to Scarlet, as she smiles "He's precious. I'm glad the two of you are together. I have heard nothing but good things, and I regret the harm I caused to the two of you." Sarah asks "And what about my Mom?" Scarlet smiles, and snides "Let's keep it like it is now." As Scarlet holds Cole, Sarah bends down, and whispers to her Husband "Something seems amiss." Blake watches his Mother, as Scarlet tells Cole in a gentle tone "I'm your Grandma.", "Let's give her a chance." Sarah reluctantly agrees.
    At Thomas Holdings, Felicia sits inside her office, as she talks to Martin on speakerphone, as he's at Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, as he tells his Wife about William's prognosis, as Felicia gets emotional, and tells him "Take care of him, and I hope Aunt Elizabeth can pull herself together, and not do what Gram did with my Grandpa was on his deathbed." Sully arrives, as Felicia sees her walk by, and hangs up with Martin, as Felicia walks out, and into Sully's office, as Sully snarks "So you seem to be hanging out, talking to your Husband when you need to be speaking to distributors about the Duncan's and Jim's mergers. You're really proving yourself worthless Felicia." Felicia yells at Sully "Look you entitled bitch! Duncan's won't be merging with Jim's! And you need to show me respect..." Sully sits back, as she snarls "Ok, you want to be difficult, we can do that also. I am over this division in full, and you work under me, and I have no  trouble showing your lazy ass the damn door. So how do you want it?" Felicia snaps "Fire me? I'll tell my family here if you try that, and you'll be moving back to Adam's Landing you bitter bitch. I read about your instability.." Sully gets up, and goes "Are you making fun of me?" Felicia responds "I'm pointing out your faults." Sully pulls her Father's Colt 45 from her purse, and warns Felicia "Don't test me, and never bring up Adam's Landing again. Go home for the day, and I'm going to figure out what I'm going to do with you." Felicia yells "I'm going nowhere." Sully walks over to Felicia, and looks at the Colt 45, and in a sarcastic tone, goes "This gun has a lot of blood on it, yet so shiny. My Daddy treasured this." Felicia goes "Ok, I'm out of here." Sully sternly warns "Not back to your office, out of the building." Felicia ignores Sully, as she walks out, as Sully makes a phone call to her Aunt in Adam's Landing, and tells Ava Jackson Hale "I'm having some trouble here with someone." Ava, sitting in her office at Jackson Inc, the company that was run by her Father, and then herself, quips "Aunt Ava needs a vacation. I'll call the pilot, and get my gas can." Ava hangs up, as Sully laughs "Ok Felicia, you're about to learn what happens when you piss off a Jackson."
    Inside Lorenzo's Office, Lorenzo sits at his desk, as he gets off the phone, as Tilly arrives, and hears Felicia yell, as she asks her Cousin "What's Felicia's problem?" Lorenzo responds "Her and Sully don't get along. They need to learn how to work together, Grandpa's company's much stronger now thanks to her, and his dream's about to become reality." Tilly asks "And how are you?" Lorenzo sighs "My heart's breaking Tilly. Dad's dying, and I'm scared for Mama. She's not handling this well at all." Lorenzo gets to business, as he pulls out a deed, and tells his Cousin "Randi's Place is yours, but make sure to read the bold print." Tilly tells him "Sarah and I will be running the bar, and it's being renamed "Tilly's". Lorenzo smiles "I like that." Lorenzo hugs Tilly, as Sully walks inside, and snaps "Lorenzo, I want Felicia out of this company." Tilly turns to Sully, as she asks "What in the hell is your problem?" Sully tells Tilly "Maybe you should teach your Sister to be a bartender." Tilly looks at her Cousin, as Sully adds "She's holding us down." Tilly walks out, as she runs into Felicia, as she snarls "I'm going to kill that bitch." Tilly sighs "She is definitely that."
    At Thomas Auto, J.R. sits inside his office, as Ann arrives, and tells her Son "I spoke to Barbara, and William's doing ok for now, but no sign of Elizabeth, and no word on his release." J.R. gets emotional, as he goes "I hate this Mama." Ann hugs her Son, as she cries "Me too sweetie." Diana walks inside, and goes "Ann. Aww I'm so sorry." Ann turns, and goes "Diana C. Adams?" Diana nods, as she and Ann hugs, and Ann asks "What's brought you to Adam's Landing?" Diana asks "How are you holding up?" Ann sighs "My heart's torn. William has a short time left." Diana's heart drops, as she responds with empathy "William's dying? My God. And Jack remarried Randi..." Silence fills J.R.'s office, as J.R.'s mouth drops, and Ann asks in shock "What?" Diana asks in shock "He didn't tell either of you?" Ann shakes her head, and Diana tells them "And with that, they are about to move. Gerald's on his way to Loma Vista, and my sweet Brother, Clint's home will be available to my poor Nephew Blake, and he and Sarah can live there, but with some stipulations." Ann tells Diana, as her eyes widen "So you know about Scar's tryst with Clint?" Diana goes "He always told me the weather." At Barbara's Home meanwhile, Scarlet tells Blake and Sarah of Zach's time in prison, as she tells her Son and Daughter In Law "His ass was beaten daily. I made certain of it. And time to finish him off." Blake cries "You are acting like the Mom I used to know." Sarah takes Cole to the Nursery, as she walks up the stairs, and stares at Scarlet, as Blake and his Mother hugs, and Blake tells her "I'm glad you're back Mom." Scarlet responds with tears "So am I Blake."
    At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Barbara, Matt, and Haley sits inside William's room, as Matt tells his Uncle "You can't be speeding anymore through town Uncle William." William sighs "I doubt I will have much longer to even do that." Barbara's eyes fill with tears, as she walks out of the room, as Haley follows her Grandmother, as Barbara stands in the hallway, and Haley asks her "Are you alright?" Barbara cries "This is ripping my heart out. Damn! Damn I always expected myself to be first, not him! It's not fair!" Haley consoles her Grandmother, as Martin walks into William's room, and goes "Well Mr.Thomas, you can go home, but we need Mrs.Thomas to be with you." Matt asks "My Mama?" Martin tells him "Elizabeth Thomas." At The Bluebird Manor, Elizabeth walks inside, as she's in a dazed state, and Lizzie walks out from the den, and asks "Mamaw, why aren't you at the Hospital?" Elizabeth looks at her Granddaughter, and coldly responds "Pack up and return home. Work things out with your Daddy. I want to be alone." Lizzie goes "But Tilly..." Elizabeth throws a lamp across the room, and screams in a blood curling tone "Lizzie, don't make me repeat myself. You hurt me, now get the hell out!" Lizzie runs to her bedroom, as she cries, as Elizabeth walks around the house, and looks at a plate from her and William's 40th Anniversary, and breaks it, and cries and lays in the floor in a fetal position, as she holds a family photo of her, William, and Lorenzo, as a baby, and cries "No. I can't let him go." Elizabeth breaks down, as Lizzie watches, and texts her Mother, as Nikki walks into her Mother's office at Sullivan's River Casino, and Lena asks her Daughter "How is Elizabeth?" Nikki hands her phone to Lena, as Lena tells her Daughter "Let's go see her. She needs us." Lena and Nikki rush out. At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits in his office, as he tells Sully "Felicia's brilliant, and I don't want a family war right now." Sully tells him "I understand what you are going through Lorenzo, and you know, you should just let me run things, and be with your Daddy, and your family. I miss my Daddy so.." Sully cries, as Lorenzo walks over to Sully, as he tells her gently "Xavier was a great man, and loved his "Princess"." Sully tells him "I'm nobody's Princess anymore." Lorenzo motions for Sully to stand up, as he gives her a hug, as Ann watches, and sends a text to her Son, and texts "J.R. ask Sully out, or I'm kicking your ass. She's the one." J.R., in his office at Thomas Auto, texts back "Ok Mama. I will.", as he sighs "At least you'll stop badgering me about it." At what was formerly "Randi's Place", Tilly and Felicia sits at the bar, as Felicia asks her Sister "How would you feel if I left Thomas Holdings?" Tilly goes "It's up to you, Grandpa wouldn't be mad. And I give you a part in ownership of Tilly's." Felicia drinks her glass of liquor, and goes "Tilly, you and Sarah will be better at this than me, and I'm going to start my own holding company." Tilly goes "A toast, to Uncle William being healed, and to our independence." Tilly and Felicia toasts, as they drink. At Riverside Psychiatric Hospital meanwhile, Zach and Dina walks out of a group session, as he tells her "Remember what we decided at breakfast." Dina tells him "Ok, as a tech tells Zach "Your Parents are in Room 3." Zach walks inside, as Dina stands silently, and watches the tech, as he talks to another tech, and they laugh to themselves, as Dina pulls out a pistol, and the techs warns Dina "You can't have that in here." Dina goes "Bite me." Dina shoots the techs, killing them, as she grabs their keycards, and unlocks the doors throughout the Hospital, as Zach tells his Parents, as Randi and Jack grows alarmed "Dina's our key to revenge on Lorenzo, Elizabeth, William, all of them. Let's get out of here." Randi and Jack tells their Son "Your back to yourself Zach. And let's get the hell out of here." Shots ring out, as Dina shoots three other techs, and the receptionist, as she escapes, as Randi, Jack, and Zach exits through the side, as they see Dina, and they get inside Jack's car, and leaves.
