Loma Vista: Episode 20. Reunions And Old Scores

   At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo looks at his Mother, as he touches her face, and asks "Why did you..." Elizabeth stops Lorenzo, and tells him "I was sick as hell with the cancer, and City Hospital in Adam's Landing had an experimental treatment that completely cured me. William knew, and I have been in town for awhile, and I am upset about the way you treated Lorenzo Jr." Lorenzo sighs "Mama, I..." Elizabeth rolls her eyes, and tells her Son "I shot Zach, I am looking after Lorenzo Jr, and now I'm home. And now I want everyone else to know. Don't get angry at William, because I swore him to secrecy." Lorenzo responds "I understand Mama. You have always been secretive like Mamaw Duncan." Elizabeth smiles, and quips "Yes baby, I was her favorite, and now we have a party to plan." Outside, Nikki pulls into the driveway, as she grows nervous, and says to herself "I hope you're right Mama." Nikki sees a car in the driveway, and grows suspicious, as she walks towards the door, and opens, and starts to cry, as Elizabeth walks up to Nikki, followed by Lorenzo, as Nikki hugs her Mother In Law in a warm embrace, as Lorenzo tells his Wife "Mama's alive, and well."
    At William's Home, William walks inside, as he opens a paper bag, with whiskey inside, as he stares at the bottle, as the front door opens, and Ann walks inside, and yells at her Brother "Don't dare think about it!" William looks at his Sister, as Ann walks over, and quips "My favorite brand, and I will take this to my home for later." William rolls his eyes, as he asks "Do you think I was going to drink Ann?" Ann goes "You are already acting strange. What in the hell is going on with you? What are you hiding? I know you've been at the casino, and now I see the whiskey, and it gives me thoughts." William yells defensively "I can't say anything! And I haven't drank since Elizabeth moved out of here!" Ann, in a scared tone, responds "I hope so. Because I'll tell Lorenzo.." William sighs "He already has a problem with me over my years of drinking. Elizabeth and I separated over it, and I am completely sober Ann!" Ann asks "Are you missing Elizabeth?" William tells his Sister "I want to be alone." Ann holds the whiskey bottle, and walks out, as William receives  a text from Elizabeth, as she tells her Husband "It's time for a reunion. The Bluebird Manor. Tonight." William types "Ok Elizabeth." Dread comes over William's face, as he opens a cabinet door, and eyes a bottle of liquor. Meanwhile Ann pulls into the driveway of her Mansion, as she looks over at Randi's Place, as she gets a text from Lorenzo that reads "Meet me at home. Family meeting." Ann walks inside, as Luke's handcuffed to the chair, as Ann unlocks the cuff, and Luke asks "What about the role play we had in mind?" Ann tells him "Family gathering." Luke puts on his clothes, and Ann tells him as she walks out "We'll take a rain check." Luke sighs "Damn, and I was ready."
   Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Sarah and Blake arrives, as Tilly greets her Daughter and Son In Law, and Sarah asks her Mother "Where's Grandma?" In the office, Randi reads the letter she received in the envelope and has a thought, and shivers with fear, as it reads "Your Son's going to die. Start planning his funeral." Back inside the bar, Tilly tells Sarah and Blake "Felicia and Haley's on their way over and we're going to have a celebration on your pregnancy, and Mom's first Great-Grandchild." Blake tells them "I need to call my Grandma and invite her as well." Tilly responds "I haven't gotten in touch with Barbara." Blake tells his Mother In Law "She's had a lot going on lately. She and Aunt Ann's getting along, and concerned about Uncle William." Randi meanwhile walks out, as she's distracted, and Tilly asks her Mother "Did you read that letter again?" Randi tells them "It said to plan his funeral. No address, no nothing. It was sent from Sugar Creek. I don't know anybody from that place. Who else has it in for Zach?" Tilly sighs "With Ann keeping guard across the road, we know if she sees Zach, she'll tell Lorenzo, and.." Randi looks at Tilly and tells her Daughter "Well I'm going over to Jack's Apartment and warn him. I'm not losing my bar! And Lorenzo takes so much after my Mama, Elizabeth, and his Grandpa Thomas, I got to go." Randi rushes out, as Sarah watches on, as Tilly assures her Daughter "Don't worry about anything except our party." Felicia arrives, and asks "Where's Mom off to in a rush?" Tilly and Felicia walks into the office, as Blake is silent, and Sarah warns her Husband once again "Do not get involved!" Blake is silent, as Sarah glares at her Husband. Inside the office, Tilly and Felicia reads the letter with dread, as all of them receive a text from Lorenzo, and Felicia tells her Sister "I think we should go over there, something's going on." Tilly asks "What about Sarah's party?" Felicia sighs "I think this is more important right now. He never sends invitations to his Mansion."  Tilly, and Felicia walks out of the office, and Tilly tells her Daughter and Son In Law "Change of plans." Blake, holding his phone, asks "Lorenzo's?" All nod, as they head out.
    At The President's Room, Dina sits at the bar, as she has a drink, and has flashbacks to her affair with Lorenzo, as she tells the bartender "Another drink." J.R. sits next to Dina, as he tells the bartender "Put her tab on mine." Dina tells J.R. "I don't need nobody's pity." J.R. tells Dina "I'm here waiting on my Sister to return from my Mama and Dad's Estate. I have a feeling it's not going to go so well." Dina sighs "I have no place to go. Lorenzo kicked me out..." J.R. looks at Dina, and tells her "Lorenzo only loves Nikki, and he also loves sex." Dina sighs "And that's why I'm drinking soda." J.R. asks "You are in a bar? And drinking soda?" Dina yells "YES!" J.R. rolls his eyes, as he sighs "Oh shit." Dina yells "I'm going to my Motel room at the Sunset Inn for the night! I'm not scared of Nikki Thomas, or any ghosts inside Lorenzo's mansion!" Dina storms out, as J.R. leaves a $100 dollar bill on the counter, and follows Dina, as he asks himself "Ghosts? She must be crazy." Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's former Estate, Jack walks around, as Jenny tells her Father "I am leaving town tomorrow, and afterwards, J.R. and Aunt Barbara will be overseeing the sale since Mama's moving on with Luke Mason." Jack tells his Daughter "This will be better than the apartment." Jenny sternly warns him "You have to disown Zach. The only way this place will be yours! Jack looks at his Daughter, and tells her with disappointment "Zach's my Son." Jenny yells "I don't give a shit! He's also my Half-Brother, and I don't have no use for him! J.R. will be watching this place, and Dad, this is a one time deal. Take it, or I'm selling tonight to Phillip Mason. He's been interested." Jack sighs with disgust "Ok Jenny, I will accept the deal. And I'll give Zach the apartment." Jenny warns him, as she pulls out the deeds "If he comes on this property, you'll be kicked out permanently!" Jack rolls his eyes, as Jenny watches on.
    At Barbara's Home, Barbara returns, as Matt walks inside with his Mother, as Barbara yells for Haley, as does Matt, and Barbara sighs with dread "I hope she didn't go visit Zach." Matt assures his Mother "I seriously doubt she'd do that Mama." Barbara checks her phone, and tells her Son "Looks like there's a family meeting at Lorenzo and Nikki's. I am going." Matt checks his phone, but sees no message, and grows curious, as he sighs "Maybe he's meeting with me and J.R. later." Barbara pulls a pistol from her purse, and tells her Son "If I see Zach, I got a bullet ready for him. Nobody's hitting my Granddaughter and live to tell about it!" Matt tells his Mother "I'll stay here. You go over to Lorenzo's and keep your cool. Maybe I'll see Haley shortly. Maybe she went down to The Gallery." Barbara hugs her Son, and sighs "I hope so." Barbara leaves, as Matt sits down and calls his Daughter, but the phone immediately goes to voicemail. Matt walks over to the wine cabinet, and pours himself a glass, as he says to himself "I hope to God you're not with that piece of shit Haley. Because Grandma won't be the one to kill him, I'll be doing that honor myself." Meanwhile at Jack's Apartment, Zach sits inside, as he walks around the room, and sighs "Already moved on I see? Well I didn't grant you a divorce because of you whore, I had a gun to my head, and I'm going to make Lorenzo Thomas regret what he's done!" Haley is tied up, as she pleads to her Ex-Husband "Please let me go Zach." Zach pulls out a pistol, as he screams "No! You belong to me!" Outside, Randi has arrived, and hears what's going on, as she checks her phone, and knocks on the door, as Zach tapes Haley's mouth shut, and throws her in the closet, as he answers the door, and Randi walks inside, and Zach opens his arms, and Randi responds with a blistering slap to her Son's face, snarling "I'm not here for a damn reunion Zach! I'm here with a warning! Stay away from my bar, from me, and leave town!"
    Back at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo holds Nikki in his arms, as she smiles, with content in her eyes, as she tells her Husband "Elizabeth's alive, and I can't wait to see my Mama's face when she arrives." Lorenzo, with joy in his tone, responds "So will everyone else." Upstairs, in Lorenzo's study, Elizabeth smokes a joint, as she sits on the balcony, as she sees cars arriving, and Elizabeth watches intently, as she pulls out her phone and calls her Husband, to no response. Downstairs, Ann arrives, as she hugs her Nephew, and hugs Nikki, and asks Lorenzo "So I imagine you know Zach's lurking around Randi's Place." Lorenzo nods, and tells his Aunt "I do know that, and we'll be taking care of that at a later time." Nikki asks Ann "I see you went through with the botox?" Ann quips "I look like I'm 40, although add 30 years, but I'm subtracting." Lorenzo laughs, as does Nikki, as Tilly, Felicia, Sarah, and Blake arrives, and Ann looks at them and asks "What in the hell are all of you doing here? This is private." Lorenzo sighs "Aunt Ann, I invited them." Ann asks "And where's Randi? Off keeping Jackie's bed warm for him?" Felicia and Tilly look at each other, and rolls their eyes, as Tilly asks her Cousin "So what's going on Lorenzo? You never have parties?" Lorenzo responds "Just a few more people and Aunt Randi, and then we'll be ready." Upstairs, Elizabeth overhears the chatter downstairs, as she takes another toke from her joint, and says to herself "Randi's likely tending to poor worthless Zach." Downstairs, Barbara arrives, as does Lena, and Lorenzo asks "Where's my Dad?" At William's Home, William sits in his chair, as he drinks a glass of liquor, and checks his phone, and turns it off, as he is silent, with regret on his face. At Jack's apartment, Randi looks at her Son, as she sees cocaine, and yells "I don't want a damn thing to do with you Zach Miller. Jack can deal with you, and I got to go to Lorenzo's..." Zach yells at his Mother "Siding with satan?" Randi snaps "I'm looking at satan!" Randi storms out, as Zach opens the closet door, and kicks Haley to the couch, and snarls "Nobody will find you whore!" Haley's eyes fill with tears, as Zach looks at Haley's phone, and breaks it, and unbuttons his shirt. At J.R.'s Estate at Red Bridge, Jenny arrives, and tells her Brother "He agreed, but you'll need to keep watch on him." J.R. asks his Sister "So when do you return back home?" Jenny tells her Brother "Tomorrow. Mama's already sad about me leaving, but I am running the Southern dealerships for Uncle William." J.R. hugs his Sister, with tears in his eyes, as he tells her "I'm gonna miss you." Jenny tells her Brother "I'll be coming back to town often. I miss my Daughter, and she needs me." Back at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Randi's arrived, as she tells Felicia and Tilly "Zach's on cocaine again, and I told him to stay the hell away from us." Ann eavesdrops, and snarks "Too damn late." Barbara pulls Ann away, and warns her Sister "I'll take care of Zach prissy. You stay by me." Lena looks around the room, as Nikki looks towards the stairway, and Lena asks her Daughter "Getting nervous about Lorenzo's surprise?" Nikki sighs "I don't like being in the same room with Randi and her family." Lena sighs "I understand baby girl. Racist ass bunch of folks." Lorenzo walks down the stairway, and tells everyone "I called all of you here because there's something I wanted all of you to see." Everyone grows curious, as Elizabeth walks down the stairway, and jaws drop, Ann drops her glass of liquor, Randi hangs onto her Daughters, Lena remains calm, as she gasps "Oh my god. She is alive." Elizabeth tells her family "I'm back."

Loma Vista: Episode 19. The Return

  It's been almost two months since we've checked in on the people of Loma Vista, and although some things have changed, other things.....well now we check in, two months later in Loma Vista.

______________________________________________________________________________

    Two Months Later,
 
    At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, as he hangs up the phone, as Nikki walks inside, and tells her Husband "I heard from our Son, and he's settling in nicely in Sugar Creek." Lorenzo looks at some files, and responds in despondence "Good." Nikki asks Lorenzo "So have you changed your mind?" Lorenzo looks up at his Wife, as he sighs "Yes. He's moved away, so we can have a life for ourselves again." Nikki tells him "You hurt me Lorenzo. Sleeping with Dina, and paying the judge to dismiss Tyrone's charges for beating our Son." Lorenzo yells "I did what was right!" Nikki fumes, and snaps back "I don't know what's wrong with you, but something's clearly off." Lorenzo yells back "There ain't a damn thing wrong Nikki! So if you want to remind me of what happened, then there's the damn door, and leave!" Nikki walks out, as Lorenzo picks back up the phone, as he tells someone on the other line "Keep me posted on the situation." Outside Lorenzo's office, Nikki stands silently, with tears in her eyes, as she has a thought, and has a flashback (At Loma Vista International Airport, Nikki hugs Lorenzo Jr, and Nate, as they prepare to leave town, as Nikki asks her Son "Are you going to be alright being in Sugar Creek?" Nate assures Nikki, as Lorenzo Jr boards the plane after a hug from his Mother "He'll be ok." Nikki cries, as she watches the plane leave.) Nikki's phone rings, as it's Lena, as she sits inside her office at Sullivan's River Casino, and hears the pain in her Daughter's voice, and Lena tells Nikki "Come see me. I have learned something that has changed everything." Nikki heads to meet with her Mother, as Lena sits inside her office at the Casino, and looks at Sayyid's picture, as he's left town after the death of his Son, Keith Ross, and sighs "Oh I miss you so much Sayyid."
    At Thomas Auto, William sits inside his office, as he hangs up the phone, as Matt, J.R., and Jenny walks inside, and Matt asks his Uncle "You have been acting strange lately Uncle William. What's going on? Having a fling?" William responds "No, just cleaning up Jack Miller's mess. I was hoping Ann would help me out, but she seems to be enjoying..." J.R. and Jenny both respond to their Uncle "She's finally happy since divorcing our Father. She feels better than she's ever felt." William responds "Well that's great. About time she had some happiness." J.R. meanwhile asks his Uncle "So what mess did Daddy leave us in?" William tells him "Nothing I can't fix. I have to go." William rushes out, as Matt looks at his cousins, as J.R. looks at his Sister, and Jenny walks over to her Uncle's desk, and looks at the books, and goes "Everything is normal." Matt sighs "My Mama's been noticing some strange things lately with Uncle William." J.R. and Jenny responds "So has our Mama." Meanwhile at Ann's new Mansion, built on Lake Pittman, Barbara sits inside the living room, as Ann walks out of the kitchen, with a bottle of wine, as Barbara asks her Sister "So what all do you know about William's secret?" Ann quips "He always said I was the squealer." Barbara shakes her head, and goes "That was Scarlet." Ann changes subjects, and asks her Oldest Sister "And how are you bonding with the jailbird?" Barbara gets up, and sighs "My cue to leave. Ann, I was young when I had her, and now that it's in the open, and I made my peace, I am moving on." Ann snarks "You should find a man for a change. I love having Luke Mason on call.." Barbara leaves, shaking her head, as Ann walks over to the window, as she looks over at Randi's Place, and notices a car arrive, and someone walking out, as Ann gasps "Holy shit that's..." Ann gets her phone, as she calls her Nephew, and Lorenzo's phone goes to voicemail, and Ann sighs with disgust "Well Jackie, looks like things are about to get worse for you now you son of a bitch."
    At Randi's Mansion, Randi sits in the living room, as Tilly walks inside, and Felicia follows her Sister, as Randi asks her Daughters "So he's out of Lexington?" Felicia sighs with dread "Yes Mom." Tilly warns her family "I am certain Ann knows, she watches the bar from her living room window." Randi screams "Shit! If Zach went there first, then we're screwed. Lorenzo made it certain when he paid that loan off that he wasn't to return there." Tilly sighs "And Uncle William lives close by as well Mom. What if..." Randi goes "William is too preoccupied with Thomas Auto, and Jack's legacy." Felicia sighs "Ann really cleaned Daddy's well as she likes to say." Meanwhile Blake and Sarah, now married arrives, as Tilly greets her Daughter with a hug, and Randi hugs her Step-Son, as Blake asks his Wife "So do you want to deliver the news? Or shall I?" Randi, Tilly, and Felicia grows nervous, as Tilly asks "Sarah, are you expecting?" Sarah nods, and pulls out a photo of her ultrasound, and cries "It's a girl. We're naming her Elizabeth." Randi cries, as she goes "My Sister would be so honored!" Tilly smiles, and goes "Excellent name. Wish Kate was here, but she left town after Scarlet's trial." Sarah goes "At least she's happy, and out of Scarlet's web." Blake rolls his eyes, as he sighs with disgust "I hate my Mother." Randi tells Blake "We all do." Blake looks at Sarah, and asks "So ready to tell Barbara the news?" Randi asks "Why don't you call her Grandma since she's your Grandmother?" Blake responds "I just don't feel comfortable yet." Sarah reminds her Husband "We're staying with her and Haley, and she's deserved the title." Blake looks at Sarah, and kisses his Wife, and responds "You are right." Blake asks Sarah "So ready to tell Grandma she's about to be a Great-Grandmother?" Sarah nods, as they leave, and Randi looks at Tilly and Felicia, and warns her Daughters "
    Meanwhile in Jack's Apartment in Downtown Loma Vista, Jack walks inside, as Zach follows his Father, and Jack turns to his Son, and tells him sternly "I am renting this place from Barbara, as she owns this building, and was just nice enough to let me stay here, so don't mess everything up for me." Zach, released from Lexington State Prison, tells his Father "I will behave. I see Mom's renovated the bar?" Jack warns his Son "That's the only time you'll see it! I hope to God that my Ex-Wife wasn't home." Zach asks "Ann lives near Mom, Tilly, and I's bar?" Jack nods, and goes "Across the road." Zach asks "So where's Haley?" Jack responds "At Barbara's Home. Best stay away from her if you're wise. Barbara's her Grandma." Zach looks at his Father, and reminds him "And I'm her Husband." Jack yells "Ex-Husband!" Zach yells back "My damn Cousin had a gun to my head signing those divorce papers!" Jack shakes his head in fury, as he snaps "Look, I have been stripped of everything, and I can't help you, Miranda can't help you, and you should relocate." Zach defiantly responds "I am going nowhere Dad. Time to put my cousin Lorenzo in his place, a morgue."
   At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo returns from Thomas Holdings, and sits in the living room and lights a blunt, as he makes a phone call to his Brother In Law, as Tyrone answers the phone, from a hotel room in Blue Ridge, and Lorenzo asks "Get the money?" Tyrone responds "I did." Lorenzo tells Tyrone "Return to town, and stay out of sight, and finish off Zach, and anyone that stands in the way." Tyrone accepts, and hangs up, as Dina walks inside, and walks over to Lorenzo, as he points to a suitcase, as Dina asks him "What did I do wrong?" Lorenzo looks at Dina, and tells her "I want my Wife. And our affair's over. I have some money to help you settle elsewhere." Dina picks up the suitcase, and in tears, tells Lorenzo "I love you. You gave me everything I wanted, and I gave you what you needed, and you're throwing me out?" Lorenzo walks over to Dina, and responds with sadness "I only love one woman, Nicole Houston Thomas, and she's the only woman I'll ever love." Dina walks out, with tears flowing from her eyes, as Lorenzo, blunt in hand, heads upstairs to his office, as he sits at his desk, and looks at a photo of his Mother, and sighs "I miss you Mama." At the gates to the mansion, the gates open, as a car pulls into the driveway, and the back door opens.
    Meanwhile at the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino, William walks inside Elizabeth's Private Suite, as he yells for his Wife, as he sees her suitcases on the bed, and looks around the room, and finds a note on the nightstand, and reads it, as he shakes his head, and makes a phone call to her, which goes to voicemail. William walks out of Elizabeth's Private Suite, as he pushes the button for the elevator, and the door opens, as Felicia stands inside the elevator, and she asks her Uncle "Why are you here?" William asks his Niece "And are you here checking up on Jack?" As the elevator goes to the lobby, Felicia tells William "He's been staying here since I threw him out of the manor." William responds "Good. Elizabeth would turn in her grave if she knew he was in her parents home." Felicia reminds him "Grandma and Grandpa liked him." William responds "Elizabeth hated him. I hate him and the hurt he's caused my Sister over the years." Felicia sighs "You got his company, and you should be content with that." The door opens, as William warns Felicia "Send your Daddy a message, he should leave town while he's breathing before I kill him personally, or someone else." As William leaves, Felicia says to herself "Something's clearly off with him." Felicia has a flashback (Two Months earlier, Felicia arrives at William's Home on Lake Pittman, as she asks "Why are the locks changed at my home?" William responds "What?" Felicia tells her Uncle "Yeah. Did you do it? You have it out for him, and Aunt Elizabeth left me my Grandparents home. You're not the type to do such a thing unless you're on the bottle." William assures Felicia "I'm not drinking, and don't worry about your home.") Felicia heads home, as she grows suspicious, as William sits at a red light, and has a thought, and goes "I think I know where you are Elizabeth."
    At Randi's Place, Randi and Tilly arrives, as Randi tells the staff "Tonight we're throwing a baby shower for my Granddaughter." Ann walks inside, as she asks Randi and Tilly "I see Zach was here? And if Lorenzo was to know, the two of you would be in the same boat as poor Jackie, broke and worthless." Randi sighs with disgust, as Tilly retains her calm "Did you move across the road to spy on us?" Ann laughs "I protect my Nephew, and my family. Zach needs to be dead. If I see him, he will be dead." Tilly asks Ann "What about the truce?" Ann sighs with mischief "Tilly, that was a one time thing, but Zach has apparently been set free, which I'll be finding out about shortly, and when I do, it's jail, or drowning off the back deck." Randi yells "He deserves a second chance! He's changed after all that's happened. I just wish I knew who shot him!" Ann quips "It wasn't me, and I disagree. He doesn't deserve a second chance. He married my Nephew's Daughter, and beat her and abused her, so that's a no no in the Thomas book of rules. Lorenzo will know, and soon." Ann tells the bartender "I make a better drink than you." Ann walks out, as Randi looks over at Tilly, and sighs "Once again, Tilly Miller wins the bet." Tilly warns her Mother "I sense another war brewing." Randi tells her Daughter "Zach will cost me my bar, and this is our legacy Tilly. Ann would love to see us lose it." Tilly shakes her head, and reminds her Mother "Let's plan Sarah's party, and not worry about it right now." Tilly walks into the office, as Randi pours a drink, and the bartender hands her a envelope, and Randi opens it, as her eyes widen. Tilly walks out of the office, as she asks her Mother "What's wrong?" Randi is silent, as she hands the letter to Tilly, as she sighs "Oh shit. Round two." Randi snaps "Ann is gunning for us again." Tilly responds with fear "And she won't be the only one."
    At Barbara's Home, Haley returns from The Gallery, as she walks inside and Blake and Sarah are inside the living room, as Haley asks her Cousin "Where's Grandma?" Blake responds "She isn't here. I think she went down to see Uncle William." Haley shakes her head, as Sarah notices trouble, and asks Haley "What's bothering you?" Haley, in a tone of horror responds "Zach's been released." Haley runs upstairs, as Sarah looks at her Husband, and Blake tells his Wife "I expect a phone call soon from someone in my family." Sarah warns Blake "Zach's my Uncle, so don't get involved!" Blake is quiet, as he's conflicted. At Thomas Auto, Barbara sits inside Matt's office, as she asks her Son "So where is my Brother, and J.R. and Jenny?" Matt responds "They left earlier to check on Aunt Ann's Estate. Jenny's handling the sale. I want to talk about Uncle William. He's hiding something." Barbara responds "I know he's hiding something. I think he's still mourning Elizabeth. He goes to Sullivan's Casino regularly." Matt changes subjects, and asks "Did you hear about Zach being released?" Barbara's eyes widen, as she puts her hand in her purse, and asks "How did that happen?" Matt answers "I called Phillip, and he said good behavior." Barbara gets up, as she warns Matt "Remember one thing Son, I have no trouble killing a piece of shit like Zach. Haley's been through enough hell with him, and then Jack, he comes around my house, I'll put a bullet in him." Barbara begins to leave, and Matt stops his Mother, and warns her "Mama, I'll handle him. We don't need to rush to conclusions." Barbara leaves, as Matt calls his Daughter, and Haley's phone goes to voicemail.
    At Lena's office at Sullivan's River Casino, Nikki is silent, as Lena asks her Daughter, as they watch security footage "So am I losing it Nicole, or is that who I think?" Nikki tells her Mother "The last thing I know's that you're not losing your mind, except keeping in touch with my Brother who tried to kill my Son." Lena sighs "He's my Son, and I don't like what he did, but Little L's safe, and far away from Tyrone." Nikki asks "And where is the bastard Mama? You have kept it a secret?" Lena changes subjects, and asks Nikki "I think with what you've just seen, you got some answers. I did." Nikki gets up, and Lena hugs her Daughter, and tells her "Go see your Husband. Stability's about to return." Nikki asks "Are you sure?" Lena goes "You watched that security footage. You tell me." Nikki walks out, as Lena returns to her desk, and lights a blunt, and sighs "I know what I seen wasn't a ghost. That shit's real!" At The President's Room, Jack sits at the bar, and drinks, as J.R. and Jenny walks towards their Father, and Jack asks his Children "So are the two of you going to give me back my home?" J.R. responds "Only under one condition. You disown Zach." At Jack's apartment, Zach calls his Ex-Wife, as Haley's phone is turned off, and Zach screams in anger, as there's a knock at the door, and answers it, as it's Felicia, as she warns her Brother "Don't come around my Mom, or our family." Zach defiantly tells his Sister "I am getting back what's mine!" Felicia warns him "If anyone is killed Zach Miller, I'll kill you myself!" Felicia storms out, as Zach sighs "Screw them. Zach pulls out a bag of cocaine, and pours it on the coffee-table, and picks up a razor. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo sits in his study, as he tells his Aunt over the phone "Thank you for keeping your eyes open for the bastard." Ann, sitting in her living room, as Luke's arrived, quips "The Thomas family stays together my sweet Nephew, and now I have a visitor." Ann hangs up, as Lorenzo hears a noise downstairs, and walks out of his study, with his hand in his pocket holding a pistol. Meanwhile, William drives down the street, and looks at his Son's Mansion, and makes a phone call to Elizabeth, once again going to voicemail. Back inside, Lorenzo walks down the stairway, and looks into the living room, as he goes "Who are you?" A scarf falls from the their head, as the person turns away, and Lorenzo freezes, as he slowly goes "Mama? Is it really you?" Elizabeth turns to her Son, and opens her arms, and goes "Baby, Mama's home." Lorenzo runs into his Mother's arms as they have a tearful reunion, as Elizabeth holds her Son tightly in her arms.

Jack takes another drink of coffee, as Felicia leaves. and Jack pulls out his phone. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo walks into his study, as Dina sits naked at his desk, and lights a joint, and tells him "Join me Lorenzo." Lorenzo walks over, and gets a joint, and tells her "I'm headed to the office, and discuss a land deal with my Dad, with the dealerships he's closing, I'm building grocery stores. And to add, making Bannister Center Mall the top draw in Loma Vista, and saving Blue Ridge Plaza." Dina quips "I love Blue Ridge Plaza. It needs some love." Lorenzo nods, and tells Dina "I'm out of here, if you need me call." Dina nods, as Lorenzo leaves, and Dina's phone rings, as it's Jack, and Dina tells him "I'm out of town. Sorry Mr.Miller." Dina hangs up, and takes a toke, and sighs "This is the life right here, this place. My paradise."
    At Ann's Mansion, Ann walks into the kitchen, as she smiles, and Luke follows in Ann's bathrobe, as Jenny asks her Mother "So had fun I see?" Ann nods, and tells her Daughter "I prefer a friend with benefits over another marriage." Luke pours himself a cup of coffee, as Ann asks Jenny "What's the news on Sarah?" Jenny tells her Mother "I haven't spoken to Tilly or Felicia yet for an update." Ann sighs "I hate all the damage Scar's done to our family." Jenny sighs "I don't know exactly what to say." Ann looks at Luke, and responds with a confident tone "Scar's old ass is going to prison, and no more problems." At the Loma Vista Police Department, Scarlet's brought inside the visitation room, as she's silent, and William walks inside, and quips "Well look who's finally in a damn jumpsuit!" Scarlet asks "What happened to us William, we were close, and Elizabeth..." William warns his "Sister" "Don't dare speak of my deceased Wife, that'd be the wrong damn thing to say, I just wanted to tell you I'm glad you're here, and your ass will pay for the pain you've caused so many." Scarlet yells at her Brother "Screw you William!" William walks out of the visitation room, as Scarlet's taken back to her cell. William walks into Phillip's office, and tells him "I think she's going to prison now." Phillip nods with a smile "Oh hell yes. Finally after all these damn years the whore's going to pay her debt to society, and our Daughter!" William asks Phillip "How is Lacey these days?" Phillip sighs "She has had some hard times, and I did my best, but she's turned out ok for herself, and lives on the west coast." William sighs "She deserved so much better." Phillip agrees, as William tells Phillip "Scarlet will be out of everyone's lives soon I feel." Phillip assures him "She will! I don't lose a war." William heads to Thomas Auto, as Phillip makes a phone call.
    Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, in Eve's Suite, Eve sits in a chair, and looks out the window, as she's on the top floor, and sighs "I'd rather jump out of this window than to tell Sayyid about Keith. Damn Brooke, I don't think I can do this shit." Brooke walks over, and hugs her Mother, and tells her "Ms.Houston will be there, and she's been good for him, and a huge fan of yours." Eve tells Brooke "Lena is street smart, and she's perfect for Sayyid, both of them are ready to settle down. All I know, Sayyid went dark after his Wife, Cissy and two other children were murdered. He ended up in Prison. With this news, and with Willie passing away thankfully at her home, he's going to snap. I've noticed he's more calculated than he was." Brooke sighs "Well Mom, I'll be there, and I'll help you if you need me to." The phone rings, as Brooke answers, and it's Eve's Son with Sayyid, and last surviving child of Sayyid Ross, River Mathis, as Brooke hands the phone to Eve, as Eve gets emotional and starts to cry. At Lena's Loft, Tyrone has left, and Nikki has went to Loma Vista Hospital of Downtown to see Lorenzo Jr, as Lena and Sayyid walks out of the bathroom, and she tells him "Ok that excited me to meet "The Diva"." Sayyid smiles "That's good, and that was her best album, Keith produced it, and she sang the shit out of some soul. She does mostly jazz, but still has it. Rawness." Lena growls, and Sayyid quips "Quite raw yourself Lena." Lena kisses Sayyid and tells him "Let's go meet Ms.Mathis, and you behave..." Sayyid goes "I already..." Lena says to herself "Oh yeah. Um hum."
    At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Randi, Blake, and Kate are inside Sarah's Room, along with Tilly, as Dr.Nolan tells Sarah's family "I'm going to slowly bring her out of it, but thankful she will be able to fully recover from this."

Tilly hugs Blake, as Haley walks inside, and is warmly welcomed, as Haley hugs Blake and asks her Cousin "How are you taking it?" Randi responds "Like a great young man his Father would be proud of." Blake looks at Haley, as he notices the look on her face as he asks "What happened? Mom was bailed out?" Randi and Tilly looks at Haley, as she responds "Scarlet's my Aunt." Randi sighs "The legendary secret in the Thomas Family. Elizabeth told me the adoption joke, as did Mrs.Thomas, and my Mama. It was played very well, but Barbara suffered, but she's also very much like Felicia in the work world." Blake goes "Aunt Barbara's my Grandmother? What in the hell happened?" Haley tells everyone of what she learned from her and Blake's Grandmother, and Haley's Father, as Blake asks "So how should I go about this? Does Mom know?" Haley shakes her head, and responds "My Mom never told her how she found out, somebody revealed it to her in Adam's Landing." Everyone is shocked, as Blake asks "May I go visit the sorry excuse I have for a Mom?" Randi, Tilly, Haley, and Kate hugs him, as he leaves, and Randi quips "Another Thomas Secret confirmed true." Tilly laughs "Ain't that the damn truth."
    Meanwhile it's silent at Thomas Holdings, as Lorenzo walks inside his office, and sits at his desk and does a check on the retail properties, as Lorenzo says to himself "I want to build something on the edge of town, and create a community around it."

At Loma Vista Hospital of Downtown, Lorenzo Jr's awake, as he has breakfast, and Nikki walks inside, and Nikki asks her Son "Where's Nate?" Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother "He went to work. I wanted to rest." Nikki tells her Son "I'll be here anyway because I'm your Mama, and I got to protect you." Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother "Daddy came by last night and said he loved me." Nikki smiles, as she sighs "He's still a good man, he's having a hard time. He really is." At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, downstairs, Elizabeth stands in the living room, and hears Dina upstairs. Elizabeth sneaks up the stairs, to Lorenzo's study, and goes "Boo." Dina asks "Who are you?" Elizabeth responds 'Lorenzo's Mama.Why are you mooching off my damn son, sitting her naked, smoking out, just kicked back and destroying his marriage." Dina snaps "For one, you died, and two, I drink, so I'm likely imagining this conversation.." Elizabeth snaps back "You have seen me now, and yes bitch..." Elizabeth pulls out her pistol, and looks at Dina, and tells her "Scare tactic, my Nephew was shot recently, and I did it myself, so don't underestimate me at all you whore." Dina yells "I'm going nowhere." Elizabeth puts her pistol in her purse, and sighs "Well it's going to be a hell of a ride when everyone finds out I'm alive, when I tell them, not you, nor another breathing thing in this city that also knows!" Dina nods in fear, as Elizabeth leaves, as she says to herself "What has happened to my boy?" Dina meanwhile asks herself, sitting inside Lorenzo's Study "Did I really see what I thought I seen? Yes. Oh shit.." Dina grows more scared, as she shivers in fear.

Blake shakes his head, and asks his Mother "Do you want to write Sarah's family an apology for almost having her killed?" Scarlet yells for the jailer, and snaps at her Son "I have no use for Tilly Miller, or anyone related Blake Walton!" Blake yells "It's Camden now Mom!" Scarlet warns him "Don't make me kick you to the side." Blake sighs "I hate you." Blake walks out, as Phillip walks in, and tells Scarlet "He was pissed at you. So nobody's made an attempt to bail you out, and Luke's defending the family against you, and you are going to prison." Scarlet yells for the jailer, and yells at Phillip "Enjoy it while it lasts. Because Lacey's my Daughter. Our Summer together that year when she graduated high school, I taught her some things." Phillip sighs "I know, but you owe her!"

J.R. looks at his Sister, as Jenny sighs "I agree Uncle William." Matt gets off the phone, and asks his Uncle "So how are you connected with Sandi? Did the two of you ever..."

Outside the Bluebird Manor, Elizabeth stands at the gates, and signs papers, as she responds "Next stop, home." Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena and Sayyid are inside her office, as Sayyid sighs "Typical Eve Mathis, always running late for a perfection check." Lena goes "Guess that's celebrity.

Your mansions? Money, stock in any of your real estate? What happened to turn Scarlet into a whore?" Barbara yells "Damnit, I want my Sister out of jail, and you need to focus on now!" Phillip snaps back "Now is yesterday, leaving my Daughter with me leaving in the night, and she wasn't a month old!" Ann quips "Scar is a whore, and I really don't give a shit what happens, because I have nothing for that sorry piece of shit, and the biggest nightmare to our family's name!" William tells Phillip "I don't care what happens either. All I know was she stole from Elizabeth, and it was done. Elizabeth rarely forgive, never forgets, and she hated Scarlet." Ann laughs "She was adopted William." Barbara tells Phillip "May I see her?" Barbara turns towards her Sister and Brother, as they talk among themselves, with a laugh, and adds "By myself?" Phillip quips "The only way. Mama and Daddy isn't here to help anymore with her." Barbara warns Phillip, as they walk out "Talk about my Mama and Daddy you smug son of a bitch and see what happens when you mess with me." Phillip grows silent. Meanwhile Luke looks at Ann and William, and asks them "So who wants to back her up?" Ann and William immediately shakes their heads, and Luke responds "I'm going to help Phillip. I think it'd be smart in the promotion to D.A.." Ann looks at Luke, and goes "Trained well. Come by tonight, and we'll have dinner." Luke laughs "Tease." William shakes his head, as Luke asks "What time?" Ann sighs "I'll call you." Luke responds "I'm not going to be your stand by again." Ann smiles "But you are always pleased." Luke sighs in agreement, as William asks his Sister "You just divorced Jack, and not even a day and you're eyeing Jack's golf pal?" Ann laughs "It will kill him. Just kill him, and thrill the hell out of Luke in the bedroom. I still got it." William rolls his eyes, as Luke and Ann hug, and Luke leaves, and William looks at his Sister, as he's in shock, as Ann tells William "Between us, I also like Phillip. Multiple choice?" William asks "Have you been drinking?" Ann goes "No. Just feel sexy in my new fur."
    Back at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Randi, Tilly, Felicia, Kate, and Blake sits silently in the waiting area, all scared, as Tilly has a flashback, and trembles, as she's overcome with grief, and tells everyone "All of this is my fault. I am no better than Scarlet." Randi looks at her Daughter, and boldly tells her "Don't ever compare yourself to that whore Matilda Miller! You raised two Daughter, and although Kate got caught up in Scarlet's twisted web, she's here now, and safe, and Sarah will make it. I know because there's some people in heaven protecting her." Tilly sighs "I gave up that belief a long time ago." Randi goes "My Sister loved Sarah, and I remember that huge bash her and Mama threw for you when you were pregnant." Tilly looks around, as she responds in a distant tone of disgrace "I did unforgivable things. All I ever made was mistakes, and..." Felicia is silent, as she holds her Sister's hand, and Randi looks at Tilly, and tells her "We all make mistakes in life my little girl. It's expected in life. I've made mine, and I have to live with some, but I've also became stronger. And you have done the same. Stop kicking yourself before I do!" Felicia adds "I've made mine also, but.." Randi asks her Oldest Daughter "You were the level headed one of my children. What mistakes are you talking about Felicia?" Felicia sighs "I think of Matt Wilson to this day, and our relationship, and I chose work over family." Randi sighs "He gave me a Daughter In Law that I adore in Haley, where is she?" Felicia tells her Mother "She's back at the Manor. Sandi's going to Adam's Landing with the money she made from Ann." Randi sighs "I heard Barbara's been trying to get her out of her house. The one Thomas you fear, the quiet one." Blake quips "Aunt Barbara hated her. The entire time she's been in town, Aunt Barbara's been going mad. I hope things can calm down, but doubt it will with my damn Mom in town. The grand dame slut of Loma Vista. Damnit! I hate her!" Randi walks over, and tells Blake in a soft tone "My Husband was your Father, and I will look after you. You have been very good for Sarah, and I'd love to be there for you, and for Clint, if only he'd known." Blake sighs "I wish I could have met him." Randi sighs "He wasn't perfect, but was a great man, and in all honesty, the only man I loved. I found out what love was when I married him, but he was flawed, and he got over them, and then he passed away from a stroke. I miss him, but now I can look at you, and see him." Tilly meanwhile holds Kate, as Tilly cries with her Daughter, and Felicia is silent, as J.R. and Jenny arrive, and Felicia hugs her Half-Brother and Half-Sister, as Jenny goes "Mama told us what happened. Said to come down here." Everyone gathers together, and embrace in a hug, as they wait for Sarah's surgery to be completed.
    Meanwhile at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo answers the door, as Dina walks inside, and asks Lorenzo "How much do you know about Jack Miller?" Lorenzo goes "My Uncle, two times former, and an asshole." Dina looks at Lorenzo, and tells him "He's not good in bed." Lorenzo tells Dina "This type of shit I don't want to hear about. My Aunt Ann told me about the little blue wonder he has a prescription for." Dina looks at Lorenzo, and tells him "Thank you for calling me over. This place is beautiful, and I got my suitcase." Lorenzo tells Dina "Just make yourself at home. My Grandma and Grandpa Thomas lived here, and he gave it to me when he moved in with my Aunt before he passed away." Dina is in awe, as she goes "This place is like a palace." Lorenzo tells her "This was their award for working from the bottom, to the top, and establishing themselves in this city." Dina asks Lorenzo "Where's the wine? Or vodka?" Lorenzo pulls out a pouch, and pulls out two joints, and hands one to Dina, and goes "In my home, this is the closest I get to alcohol. Dina looks at the joint, as Lorenzo tells her "Just smoke, and relax with me." Dina fires her joint up, as Lorenzo does with his, as they sit on the couch, looking at each other, with lust in their eyes.
    In the Emergency Room of Loma Vista Hospital of Downtown, Lorenzo Jr's brought in, as Nikki runs to her Son's side, as Lena and Nate follows, and Nikki asks her Mother "What happened?" Lena sighs "Baby girl, he was beaten up, and he's hurting." Nate gets emotional, as Lena asks her Daughter "Want to call Lorenzo or William?" Nikki asks her Mother "Why call them? Lorenzo doesn't care, and if he was behind this, I'll kill him. This is too much! Too damn much! My Husband's changing before my eyes." Lena looks at Nikki, as Nate walks into the triage, and sits with his boyfriend, as outside, Nikki sends Lorenzo a text, and sighs with disgust "He likely won't even respond." Lena hugs her Daughter, and assures her "Remember, time Nicole. Time." Nikki walks inside, as Lena shakes her head, as her eyes fill with anger. Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Sayyid stands outside, as a white limo pulls up, and Eve Mathis walks out, and sees Sayyid, and they embrace in a hug, as Eve tells the Father to her Son, River Mathis "I am here. Keith should be here soon." Sayyid and Eve walks inside, as they enter the Hotel, as Sayyid asks "So I thought you were done touring?" Eve goes "I am, but your Son..." Sayyid asks "Talked you into it?" Eve nods, and adds "It's also for Willie. He had me with that, but the tour's going to be a short one. I got my awards for my last album, and am content with my career." Sayyid asks "How's Keith?" Eve tells him "Keith and River's grown close, and he's been working on a project with me, we're making our box sets." Sayyid tells Eve "I haven't seen Keith since Willie's Funeral. I wish he'd call more." Eve looks at Sayyid, and assures him "He's been well taken care of by my family, and playing Uncle to Henry (Eve and Sayyid's Grandson). He's relaxed in Sugar Creek." The busboys arrive as they take Eve's luggage, and belongings to her Suite inside the Hotel, as Sayyid leads them to where she'll be staying. Back at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo and Dina both finish their joints, and discuss their lives, as Dina tells Lorenzo "I imagine it's hard to accept your namesake wants to be someone else. But I'm not a man, so I can't imagine." Lorenzo sighs "He's ruined my life with this choice, but we're high, and it's time we go check out your room." Lorenzo and Dina heads upstairs.
    At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Sarah's family holds vigil, as they await Dr.Nolan to walk into the waiting area, as Randi, Tilly, Felicia, Blake, Kate, J.R., and Jenny are inside, as Tilly's comforted by her family. At the Loma Vista Police Department, Barbara sits inside the visitation room, as Scarlet tells her "Sister" "I'm innocent Barbara. Please believe me. Please! Phillip is going to destroy me, he'll ruin me." Barbara responds "And you lied to me Scarlet, and I'm not going to lose everything over you. I'm not Mama, and I'm not Daddy. You're shit out of luck Sis." Barbara leaves, as Phillip tells the jailer "Take Scarlet back to her cell, as Barbara asks Phillip "I'm not helping her. Same old song and dance with her." Phillip sighs "Typical of her. By the way Ann and William has left." Barbara rolls her eyes, as she sighs "They are likely plotting up something." At Jack and Ann's Estate, which now belongs solely to Ann, Luke arrives, as Ann wears a robe, and tells Luke "We have the entire evening to ourselves, and no interruptions." Luke smiles "And I like the sound of that Ann!" Ann motions for Luke, as she tells him "Let's go to my bedroom." At the Bluebird Manor meanwhile, Haley returns, as Jack sits inside, and Haley asks Jack "Why aren't you with everyone at the Hospital? I'm about to head back down there and you should be there for Sarah, and Tilly." Jack takes a drink of liquor, and asks Haley "Is Sandi still in town? Or did that bitch Barbara run her away again?" Haley goes "Jack, she left town, and my Grandma's not a bitch, and you should really put down that bottle and go be there for your family." Jack yells at Haley "Shut up! I only want one thing." Jack looks at Haley, as Haley grows uncomfortable, as Jack looks his Daughter In Law up and down. Meanwhile back at Loma Vista Hospital of Downtown, the Doctor walks inside, as he admits Lorenzo Jr, and tells Lena, Nikki, and Nate "He has a concussion, broken ribs, and good thing he was kept awake, because hadn't, he may be dead or in a coma. We're going to monitor him." Nikki looks at her Mother, and Nate, and tells them "I'm going to see my Husband!" Nikki rushes out. Meanwhile at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo walks Dina into his bedroom, as he tells her "Let me get Jack Miller off your mind." Lorenzo undresses Dina, as she undresses Lorenzo, and he knocks her onto the bed, as they begin to have sex. Meanwhile at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Dr.Nolan walks outside, as Sarah's family turns to him, as he takes a deep breath, and silence fills the air, as Tilly asks "How is she?" Randi stands by Blake, as Kate, Felicia, J.R., and Jenny comforts Tilly, as Dr.Nolan tells them "We did remove the bullet, but the next 48 hours will be pivotal. Not one inch closer, she'd been dead." Back at Sullivan's River Casino, William sits inside Elizabeth's Suite, as he asks a housekeeper "Where did she go?" The housekeeper goes "I have no idea Mr.Thomas. Said she wanted to go down to the office and look around." Inside Lena's office, Tyrone walks inside, as he sees the security cameras on, and his Mother's desk chair turned, as he pleads to his Mother "I had nothing to do with it Mama. I'm serious! I didn't have my Nephew beaten." Silence builds, as Tyrone yells "Mama! I didn't.." The chair flies around, as Elizabeth holds a pistol, and Tyrone screams "OH SHIT!" Elizabeth angrily glares at Tyrone, and goes "Your ass is mine, make one move thug, and I'll shoot you dead and don't even try." Tyrone freezes, as Elizabeth holds the pistol, and warns Tyrone "So bitch, ready to be Bubba's bunk mate?"

   At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo faces the window, as he puts on this clothes, as does Dina, as there's silence inside Lorenzo's office, as Lorenzo shakes his head with disbelief, and sadness. At Thomas Auto, William sits inside his office, as his phone rings, and he answers as Elizabeth, sitting inside her Suite at the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino tells her Husband "I've got everything under control, and I'm going to make damn sure you, or our Son harms Junior, or Loren." William sighs to his Wife "It's in your hands, whatever you want to do." Elizabeth tells her Husband "I think I'm going to visit our Son." Elizabeth hangs up, as she thinks of her reunion with her Grandson, and sighs "I'm going to kick your ass Lorenzo." with a look of disappointment. At Lena's Loft, Nikki lays on the couch, and watches TV, as she receives a text from Lorenzo Jr, and puts the phone down, as Nikki picks up a wedding photo of her wedding day to Lorenzo, and a look of loneliness in her eyes, and tears fall.
    In Ann's office at Thomas Holdings, Ann is alone in her office, as she hangs up the phone with her Daughter, Jenny, as Jack walks inside Ann's office, as Ann goes "Shouldn't you be at the hospital?" Jack yells, slamming the door "Ann Thomas, you took everything I had, and destroyed me. You are twisted, and Randi was right about you." Ann sits back, and asks her now Ex-Husband "Didn't like your present Jackie? Ahh... Well I have some shopping in order for my new home, to start anew, and you can do the same. Live off Felicia, or Tilly, or Randi. And don't start a damn war with my family over the divorce." Jack tells his Ex-Wife "You have declared it! You turned our children against me, and Ann, we were each other's first loves. We share half a lifetime together." Ann sighs "I'm divorced from you for good this time, and the way you are talking makes me extremely uneasy, like you are guilty of something, like the night you had sex with Randi when she seduced you, and got pregnant, causing a huge fight." Jack looks at Ann, and tells her "Can't you overlook the past?" Ann shakes her head, and puts on her fur coat, and tells her Ex-Husband "Go back home now, because I have something to do, and you need to play Daddy. Bye Jackass." Ann struts out, and speaks to a guard, as Jack watches on, and the guard tells Jack "You have to leave premises sir." Jack goes "I am. But I'll be back!"
    Meanwhile inside Randi's Mansion, Randi, and Tilly screams in horror, as Tilly drops her gun, as Scarlet holds her shoulder and Kate runs away, and Sarah holds her chest, and falls to the floor, as Blake gets off the phone with 911, and Scarlet looks at her Son, and aims at him, and responds "If I were you, I'd come tend to Sarah." Tilly is overwhelmed with shock, and fear, as she and Kate falls to Sarah's side, as Randi aims at Scarlet, and in a calculating tone, tells her "You had Jack, you had Clint, you nearly killed my Daughter, and now hurt my Granddaughter. Time for me to take your ass out Madam Scarlet." Scarlet aims her pistol at Randi, as Blake rushes over to Sarah's side, as Scarlet's gun points down, and Tilly cries, stroking Sarah's face "Stay with me Sarah. Please stay with me." Scarlet asks Tilly "Are you really pathetic. Issac Blair raped you, and I knew about it, because he and I had a relationship." The paramedics, and the Loma Vista Police Department arrives, as they walk inside, and Police Commissioner, Phillip Mason, yells at Scarlet "After all these years, you are about to get what's been coming for you, and I'll make damn sure I'm paid also for our Daughter!"

    At Barbara's Home, Barbara sits alone in the living room, as she has a flashback, and sighs "It will stay in the past as far as I'm concerned." William arrives, as he tells his Sister "Jack is trying to start a war with us." Barbara is silent, and looks at her Brother, and tells him "Scarlet knows." William asks "Knows what?" Barbara looks down, as William sighs "Oh. Mama must have said something to her or Daddy, neither of them liked her after she quit school and started working the streets." Barbara cries "I made a mistake William, and Sandi knows, and I'm going to make her leave town." William asks "And what exactly are you planning?" Barbara tells him "I spoke to Commissioner Phillip Mason, and Scarlet will follow suit, I will tell her the truth, and see what I can do." William tells his Sister "I'll help you. Don't worry." Sandi meanwhile walks inside, as William and Barbara hugs, and Barbara walks her Brother to the door, as she locks it, and turns to Sandi, and pulls out a pistol, and asks "Remember my promise? Well time to pay my debt." Barbara aims at Sandi, as she asks "What's wrong with you? Scarlet knows, live with it." Barbara snaps "You run that damn mouth there girl, you will let something out that needs to stay where it belongs! Now go pack your suitcase, and I'll get you a plane ticket for wherever you want to go." Sandi goes "Adam's Landing." Barbara walks over, and gets on the computer, as she tells Sandi "It's best you leave before I get very angry, you have pushed it with me. And I have nothing to lose at my age." Sandi quips "You are a Granny." Barbara snaps "Grandmother." Sandi tells Barbara "I've got a friend down there I'm seeing, and he's been taking care of me. A legend." Barbara sighs "And who gives a shit? Not me." Barbara clicks the mouse, and as Sandi's plane ticket's printed, tells her "Matt has done well without you before, and he and Haley will be fine now." Sandi is silent, as Barbara snaps "Start packing, plane leaves in an hour." Sandi heads upstairs, and yells "You win." Barbara goes "Yes I do bitch."

Inside the Casino, Lena and Sayyid sits inside her office, as Lena tells him "So when will Eve and Keith arrive in town?" Sayyid tells her "Keith's catching a later flight, Eve's on her way." Lena tells him "It will make this place lots of money." Sayyid nods in agreement, and tells Lena "You are amazing. How strong you are." Lena quips "I've grown up hard, so I know how to survive. Was a single Mother to Tyrone and Nicole. Seen the man I love die before my eyes. It messed with me, but I overcame it." Lena asks Sayyid "So are you going to speak to Lorenzo, and me to Nikki, and try to get them back together. We got some time before Eve arrives into town." Sayyid nods, and Lena heads home, as Sayyid makes a phone call to Lorenzo, but gets no response.

J.R. tells his Mother "Dad's already vowing revenge, and he and Uncle William got into a fight earlier." Ann quips "Typical Jack-ass." Jenny asks her Mother "So since you've done everything regarding Aunt Scarlet..." Ann tells her Daughter, Son, and Nephew "She's going to get what's been waiting for her. Likely getting it as we speak, the perfect ending of the whore who I had the saddest lie to ever tell..." Jenny asks her Mother "What lie were you forced to tell?" Ann looks at everyone, as Matt gets suspicious, and Ann looks at Matt, and tells him "Scarlet's your Oldest Sister." Matt is silent, as he responds, in shock "I never had any idea. Just remember Mamaw and Papaw's adoption jokes as a boy." Ann tells everyone in the room the story, as shock fills the room. Meanwhile at the Loma Vista Police Department, Scarlet's sitting at a desk, as Phillip walks inside, and tells Scarlet "I hope you've gotten an attorney. I'll gladly call my Brother to send you to prison. You also have back child support to our Daughter." Scarlet yells "She's grown!" Phillip asks "Remember the last time you talked to her?" Scarlet looks at Phillip and snarls "I was trying to protect my Son." Phillip looks at Scarlet, and yells "You were protecting you. You are such a selfish whore Scarlet Thomas. You make me sick." Scarlet yells back "I've heard enough, just take me back to a cell." Phillip calls an officer inside, as Scarlet's escorted to a cell, as Phillip sends Lacey Mason, his Daughter with Scarlet, a text that reads "Your Mother's in custody." At the Benjamin Lodge, Dina is inside her room, as she packs her things, as there's a knock, and Dina finds Jack on the other side, and asks "Where's Scarlet?" Dina goes "Who knows, and why would I care? I'm getting out of town!" Jack pulls out his checkbook, and asks Dina "How about you hang around for a little while? I'll make sure you get your money's worth." Jack holds a stack of $100 bills, as Dina walks over, and leads him to her bed, and takes off his clothes, as they have sex.

But sadly we are on different sides when it comes to Junior." Nikki asks "What if we focus on us, and not worry about his personal life?" Lorenzo sighs "Not possible Nikki. If you support his disrespect, then it will destroy us. I disown him." Nikki boldly, and tearfully responds "I don't know what has happened to you since Elizabeth has died, but I don't like the man you are turning to, an evil, cold-hearted bastard." At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Elizabeth stands outside, as Sayyid pulls up, and asks Elizabeth, who he doesn't know "May I help you?" Elizabeth goes "I guess who I came to see isn't here, or the wrong address." Elizabeth leaves, as Sayyid watches her, as he says to himself "She looks familiar." In Lena's Office at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena is inside, as Nate walks in and asks "Have you heard from Lorenzo Jr? I'm worried about him." Nate tells Lorenzo Jr's Grandmother of the pills, and she asks "He isn't in his Suite?" Nate responds "No. He left." In a warehouse in the roughest area of Loma Vista, Sni-Bar, Lorenzo Jr is surrounded by many men, as Tyrone yells at the others "Teach the little gay princess what it is to be a man."

Loma Vista: Episode 14. The Circles Of Meltdowns

   It's the next morning in Loma Vista, and at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo walks downstairs, as he's silent, and hangs up the phone, with a look of fulfillment, as he heads to Thomas Holdings. At Lena's Loft, Lena, Nikki, Tyrone, and Sayyid sits in the kitchen, as Lena has cooked breakfast, and Lena looks over to her Daughter, and tells her "Cheer up baby girl. He's just as sad as you are. The two of you need to figure out a way to love each other despite Little L's huge change." Tyrone starts to speak, before Lena tells her Son "Don't damn start. I got that damn paddle my Grandmama gave me!" Sayyid laughs "Paddle. Damn woman, you are quite the boss! I'm scared." Lena laughs "Maybe because I am the boss, and proud to come from the ghetto to living here in Downtown Loma Vista. Lorenzo and his Mother helped us, and he fell in love with my Daughter, and she fell in love with him, and it's forever love, real love." Nikki looks at her Mother, as she gets emotional, and Lena opens her arms, and holds her Daughter in her arms, and whispering "The two of you belong together my baby." At the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo Jr wakes up in his Suite, as Nate's left for work downstairs in the lobby, as he has been promoted to Manager, by Lena, and Lorenzo Jr gets a knock at the door, as he goes to answer with hesitation, as William stands on the other side, and Lorenzo Jr asks his Grandfather "Why are you here?" William asks his Grandson "So you want to become a woman?" Lorenzo Jr grows nervous, as William tells his Grandson "I can't accept this Junior. You are a Thomas, and the future." Lorenzo Jr yells "If you don't like my choice, then screw you too.." William glares at Lorenzo Jr, and warns him "Don't test me or I'll whoop your ass!" Lorenzo Jr yells at his Grandfather "Leave me the hell alone!" William heads out, as he yells "Don't worry about that! My Grandson's dead to me!" Lorenzo Jr screams, as William heads to the elevator, and stopped, as they ask "What in the hell is wrong with you?" William looks at the person, and sighs "It's all yours. You have to do something." The other person responds "I certainly will!" The elevator doors open, as William leaves for Thomas Auto, as the other person stands in the hallway, looking at the door to Lorenzo Jr's Suite.
     At Thomas Holdings, Ann sits inside her office, as she pulls out a checkbook, and tells Sandi "Here's a nice payoff for keeping me informed on Scar." Ann writes Sandi a $500,000 check and hands it to her, and tells Sandi "Now just sit back, and wait for the sky to fall." Sandi walks out, as she bumps into Randi, Tilly, and Felicia, as Randi asks Sandi "Why are you here?" Sandi laughs "Thank me later. Time to go down to the casino and double up!" Sandi leaves, as Randi, Tilly, and Felicia walk inside Ann's office, as she tells them "You have met the one that has helped me keep track of Scar. At one time they were friends, and have worked together for years, silent partners in prostitution." All are shocked, as Ann continues "So now what's the plan? Kill the whore? Or make Scarlet leave town in some way? I can make one phone call, and she's dead." Randi goes "Phone call." Tilly looks around, as she pulls out her pistol, and in a cold tone, filled with anger, replies "This is my job to do, and I'm going to do it now!" Tilly gets up, and leaves, as Felicia asks her Mother "Did she drive you here?" Randi shakes her head, responding "She was running late when I finished breakfast, and spent some quiet time with Blake. Poor kid." Ann agrees with Randi, as Felicia asks her Mother, and now Ex-Stepmother, as Ann's divorce to Jack has been finalized "Do you think she could..." Randi tells her Daughter "She loves her Girls, and she has a killer instinct if her Daughters are threatened." Ann responds "And I respect that." Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Sarah and Kate catch up, as Blake tells them "I am so sorry for the shit my Mom has put your family through." Sarah reminds Blake "It's not your fault. Just be thankful for your Aunts and family." Blake asks Kate "So my Mom threatened to kill you if you returned home?" Kate responds "Yes. She told me she would deliver me in a body bag." Sarah looks at her Boyfriend, as Blake's horrified, and Sarah tells everyone "The bitch has to be stopped. She's already hurt us enough. Ann is nothing compared to her." Blake sighs "Aunt Ann is on our side." Sarah goes "For now. Then back to the war." Kate gets up to head to her bedroom, as the doorbell rings, and Kate walks to the door, where Scarlet stands, and grabs Kate by the neck, and pulls out her pistol, as she locks the door, and aims at her Son, and Sarah, and then sticks the pistol to Kate's head, and asks "So Sarah, you first, or your whore of a Sister? Like yourself." Blake yells at his Mother "Go to hell! Get out of here before I call the police on you." Scarlet looks at her Son, and tells him "You made a bad choice picking Sarah Blair, rape baby. Meet your soon to die Sister Son." Blake yells "What!!!" Sarah also asks with anger "Kate is Blake's Sister?" Scarlet laughs "Yes with Clint. He was quite a sex addict, and had a one nighter with whoring Tilly Nightingale." Scarlet pushes Kate towards Blake and Sarah, and holds them at gunpoint, as Scarlet looks at Sarah and Kate, and asks "So who wants to die? Or should you two mistakes die together?"
    Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Barbara sits inside with Haley, as she tells her Granddaughter "I am shocked that Sandi would help everyone out and find out the real truth regarding Scarlet. I knew she hadn't changed, but really wanted to believe she did. Ann played a part, and it's going to get nasty I fear." Haley sighs "I heard the story before." Barbara goes "It's something that never needs to happen again." At Thomas Auto, Matt, and J.R. welcomes Jenny inside her office, as J.R. tells his Sister "Glad to have you home." Matt tells his Cousins "It's great to have all of us together again. The gang of three, and now four." Jack walks inside, with Luke, and a police officer, as Jack hands the deed of Miller Auto Company over to his Daughter, and tells them with disgust "All of you make me sick. And I hope William loses his ass over it. The Thomas family can burn in hell." Luke sighs "Enough Jack." Luke and the Police Officer walks out, as Jenny tells her Cousins "Mama is serious I think now, and sending a message and she's just like Mamaw." Matt quips "Except Mamaw didn't color her hair every other month, and wear furs." Matt quips "Aunt Ann and Lorenzo are the closest we really have to Mamaw and Papaw Thomas." Everyone nods in agreement, as Jenny looks at the deed and smiles "Uncle William will be so happy."
    At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo arrives, and walks inside his Aunt's office, and Ann hugs her Nephew, as she tells him with excitement "Scar's about to regret her mistakes." Randi nods with a smile, as Felicia looks concerned as she sighs with fear "I think Tilly's going to kill that bitch." Lorenzo smiles "One good thing about life." Ann holds onto her Nephew, and tells Randi and Felicia "Poor baby's been through hell with his crazy Son." Felicia tells her Ex-Step Mother and Cousin "I support Lorenzo Jr's decision." Randi sighs "Umm, I don't know." Lorenzo tells them "Remember Grandma Duncan had a mean streak in her, she ran the Duncan family, and then my Mama took over until she sadly passed away." Randi sighs "Yep." Felicia tells everyone "I have a horrible feeling." Ann asks Felicia "What is it?" Felicia responds "I can't explain it." Lorenzo gets his phone, as he calls Tyrone, and Ann assures Randi and Felicia "We're about to make sure Tilly's taken care of, and our families."
    At Lena's Loft, Nikki sits inside, as she's alone, and there's a knock at the door, as Nikki gets up to answer the door to see her Son, and hugs him, and asks Lorenzo Jr "How are you baby?" Lorenzo Jr starts to cry, and Nikki holds her Son tightly in her arms, as she too cries "Me too." At Sullivan's River Casino, Lena sits inside her office, with Tyrone, as Sayyid stands in the hallway on the phone, as Lena tells her Son "I am really serious about backing off of Lorenzo Jr's choice. I mean it damnit! It's tearing everyone apart!" Tyrone yells "I don't want no gay family members Mama!" Lena screams "Accept it or keep your damn mouth shut!" Sayyid walks inside with a smile, as he looks at Tyrone, and tells him "Lorenzo wants you over at Randi Camden's home." Tyrone walks out, as Sayyid walks up to Lena, as Lena asks him "What are you concocting in your head Sayyid Ross?" Sayyid asks Lena "Remember your lifelong dream? Meeting Eve Mathis?" Lena gets giddy, as she asks "Is she going to open up our first performance in the Concert Hall? And your Oldest Son like you said when we met awhile back?" Sayyid nods, and beams with joy "I miss Keith so much, and River, and Eve. River and I are close, and I miss my Grandson too." Lena asks "What about Eve? Do you still feel for her?" Sayyid tells Lena "I do because of River, and her having my Grandson that was killed. She and I have been through hell over the years, but we've remained close. But you have my heart." Lena smiles "Good, otherwise there'd be trouble." Sayyid kisses Lena, as he holds her in his arms.
    Back at Randi's Mansion, Scarlet keeps his pistol aimed at Sarah, Blake, and Kate, as she holds onto her Sister, and Scarlet asks her Son "So are you attractive to Tilly Miller #2?" Blake screams "Just damn stop it and leave us alone Mom!" Sarah warns Scarlet "My opinion is you should die for Tilly's sake." Sarah screams at Scarlet, as Kate cries and trembles "I will make you regret this, and every bad thing you did to my family, and to Blake!" Scarlet snaps "I run a business, and people can't just up and quit, and disobey the boss! So they have to pay for that with their life!" Blake pulls out a phone, and tells his Mother "You're finished Mom. I'm calling.." Scarlet shoots a warning shot, as she snaps at her Son in a bold, hateful tone "You are as much to blame as me you bastard. I never wanted you. All I wanted was Lacey." Blake screams "Screw you! Screw you Whore!" Outside, Tyrone has arrived, and holds a pistol, as he stands in front of the front door quietly, as he sees a car pull into the driveway, and stops, as Tilly walks out, holding her pistol, and cocks it, as she looks at Tyrone, and asks "Tilly Miller?" Tilly reaches for the doorknob, and Tyrone tells her "I'm following you due to your Mother, and Sister's request, and you may need it." Tilly thanks him, and they open the door."
    Meanwhile at Thomas Auto, William arrives, as Jenny tells her Uncle "Here's Miller Auto's deed, and now you are the sole owner." William tells Jenny, and also looking at J.R. and Matt, as he tells his Niece and Nephews "I'm giving each of you 15%." William adds "The Miller Auto dealerships will be split, and be run by J.R., and Jenny if she doesn't want to go Thomas Holdings." Jenny hugs her Uncle, and tells him "I'd be honored to help you Uncle William." William sighs with relief "Well besides seeing Junior this morning, today's been damn good to me, and all of us." The door opens as Jack walks inside, and looks at William, with a look of loss, and tells him "I bet you helped her destroy me Junior." J.R. and Jenny's eyes grow red, as William looks at his Ex-Brother In Law, and warns him "Get out of my headquarters you bastard." Jack punches William, as William pushes Jack to the ground, and pulls out his pistol, and asks Jack "Do you really want to fight me? I wouldn't have a damn problem if I had to kill you. You know that also you sorry son of a bitch. The way you've hurt my Sister, you have been on my hit list for years Jackie." Matt, J.R., and Jenny tries to break up the fight, as J.R. yells at his Father "Leave or go to jail Dad." William gets up, as Jack tells everyone "Ann destroyed everything I earned, and stole my family's legacy.." William snarls "You didn't have shit until your Daddy died. He was the smart one." Jack yells "My Father was a normal man, unlike Senior, who had me beaten, and by your Mama." William goes "That's gone too far you asshole." William rushes at Jack, and held back by his Niece and Nephews, as Jack adds "And I had sex with Scarlet last night also William. I will get what is mine. Just wait." Jack leaves, as William laughs "He thinks he's going to get back Miller Auto and my damn company, he's damn crazy as a bat." Jenny is furious, as she yells "I can't stand him. And Mama's officially changed her last name back to Gray, but added Thomas to it. She's happy that she's away from Jack. She seems to feel better, and drinking less." William quips "With Scarlet in town, Ann's planning something else. And she gets her way."
    Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo and Ann sits together inside her office, as Randi has left, and Felicia sits inside, as Lorenzo tells them of the situation regarding Nikki and Lorenzo Jr, as Ann tells her Nephew "I'm very certain everything will work out between you and Nikki. I have a hard time accepting it too. It's alien to think a man wants to be a woman? The mood swings, hot flashes, menopause dear God." Lorenzo changes subjects, and tells his Aunt and Cousin "I got a memo on Duncan's. So why do want Felicia out of Thomas Holdings Aunt Ann?" Ann lights a cigarette, and sighs "Not for now. Maybe when she pisses me off again." Felicia asks Ann "Is that a way of saying you actually have feelings for me and Tilly?" Ann quips "I did take care of the two of you, and I don't like what's happened over the years, but if you need to know something, and need my help, I'll do it." Felicia laughs "With Madam Scarlet, you'd do anything." Ann smiles "Yes Felicia, I would. She is a disgrace." Lorenzo tells them "I got something in the works, and now going to my office." Ann hugs her Nephew, and Felicia also hugs Lorenzo, and tells him "If you need me Cousin, just give me a call, or come over for coffee." Lorenzo tells her "I may do that." Lorenzo leaves, as Felicia tells Ann "Thank you Ann." Ann tells Felicia "Today has opened my eyes to you and Tilly, and I am proud of her." Felicia walks out, in shock, as Ann takes a drag from her cigarette, and opens a small refrigerator, and pulls out a bottle of wine, and pours it in a glass, and says to herself "Mama and Daddy would be proud right now." Inside Lorenzo's office he sees someone sitting at his desk, as he goes "Although plans fell, I have got you a personal check for what you tried to do." Dina turns around, as she tells Lorenzo "Thank you very much. And let me ask you something. You look like you need some comfort." Lorenzo tells Dina "I get that from my Wife, and I miss her." Dina looks at Lorenzo, and touches his face, and kisses him, and Lorenzo stands still, and asks "How much..." Dina puts her hands on Lorenzo's shirt, and goes "Nothing at all Lorenzo Thomas."
    Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Sandi arrives, as Barbara and Haley sits inside, and Barbara looks at her Daughter In Law, and asks "So you did a noble thing? I am shocked, and glad you did the right thing." Sandi quips "$500,000 Babs. Money talks." Barbara sighs with a look of content "You earned it." Haley also tells her Grandmother "I also helped." Barbara smiles "And you are a great young lady. I always wanted a Daughter, but only had one Son, well two but he went to paradise." Haley asks "Paradise?" Barbara tells her "Heaven. Suicide. That's all we'll say about that." Sandi asks Barbara "What about Scarlet?" Barbara warns Sandi "Just because you have done one thing worth an inch of respect, you are starting to push..." Sandi looks at Haley, and tells her Daughter "Barbara's Scarlet's Mother." Barbara goes "Shut up Sandi." Sandi continues "Left her with her parents when she got pregnant in high school, and it shamed her." Barbara looks at Haley, and sighs, as she turns to Sandi, and slaps her across the face, and Barbara yells "I don't know how in the hell you know that, but that's something we will never, NEVER discuss!"

At Lena's Loft, Nikki is alone, as she sits with sadness in her eyes, and has a flashback "Flashback: At Blue Ridge Center, Loma Vista's oldest mall, and owned by Lorenzo, a teenage Nikki sees a young man sitting at the fountain, with nervousness, and she goes "Lorenzo?" Lorenzo turns, and looks at Nikki, and smiles, as Elizabeth sits next to her Son, and tells Nikki "I like you already. Go have some fun, there's a sale at Emery's." Lorenzo and Nikki head off, as Elizabeth watches with a smile, as she says to herself "Love at first sight." Nikki cries to herself and feels pain, meanwhile at the Hotel at Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo Jr returns from the lobby, to find his room unlocked, and walks inside, as he gets scared, and suspicious, as someone walks out of the bathroom, and looks at Lorenzo Jr with silence, as Lorenzo Jr's eyes fill with tears, and asks "Am I seeing things?" Elizabeth turns to her Grandson, and goes "Come here my sweet boy, or girl." Lorenzo Jr runs to his Grandmother, and goes with shock "Are you real?" Elizabeth nods, and goes "And I will tell everyone else when the time is right, so here's what we're going to do, I'm going to help you, and pay for your surgeries and procedures, and you keep our reunion a secret. Only William knows." Lorenzo Jr nods, as Elizabeth holds him, and assures him "Mamaw's alive, and feels brand new, and I'll make damn sure you are looked after baby." At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo and Dina has sex on his couch, and at Randi's Mansion, as Tilly stands in the foyer, holding her pistol, and hiding, Scarlet moves her aim around the room, and asks Sarah and Kate, and her Son Blake "So who wants to die?"
