And I know you better than to think you'd fall into Miranda's bed." William sighs with pain, as he has a headache "Hell Elizabeth, if I ever did that, Ann would never let me live it down. Tilly did drive me home though from the bar, and Randi did offer me a place to drink if I wanted to.." Elizabeth throws the liquor bottle into the trash, as she looks at William, and warns her Husband "She's using you, and playing you like a hand of cards." William reminds his Wife "It's the two of you that has the rivalry. I've never had a problem with her. I've stayed out of Ann's war with her as well. I think it's time the two of you made peace."

I disowned him, and so did the rest of the family." Barbara walks upstairs, and slams the door, as Tilly gets a text, and tells her Daughter and Son In Law "Looks like Lorenzo's going for broke. I need to get to the bar." Blake asks Tilly "Need me to come along?" Tilly looks upstairs, as Sarah tells her Mother "I'll go Mom." Tilly sternly responds to them "Stay here. Sarah, you're lucky enough to be pregnant after being shot, and Blake, watch after everything. As for Zach, if Barbara does find him, let her finish his ass off." Haley sighs "I feel the same way Tilly." Tilly heads out, as Blake looks at Sarah, as he warns her "I've never seen my Grandma this angry before." Sarah looks over to Haley, as she tells them "Might be wise to get out for awhile. When Grandma's upstairs, it's already a red flag." Blake and Sarah heads out, as Haley walks upstairs, and knocks on Barbara's bedroom door, and Barbara sighs "It's unlocked." Haley sits on her Grandmother's bed, and asks, as Barbara looks at a pistol, and loads it "Are you really going to kill Zach?" Barbara turns to Haley, and asks "Do you have the gun?" Haley responds "Downstairs." Barbara tells her Granddaughter "I was abused for many years, and one day I had enough, and your Grandpa was shot and killed by me. You need to defend yourself, and you are a Thomas, so you have some breathing room with Phillip." Haley goes "I just want him to leave me alone. He's still bothering me."

Matt tells them "My Mama's going rogue, and Aunt Ann's being herself, and Uncle William...." Lorenzo yells to his Cousin "I don't want to hear any shit about my damn Father's relapse! Mama saved his ass from me earlier." Ann asks "Well where is he?" Lorenzo responds "Home. Mama's moving in with him." Mischief comes across Ann's face, as she laughs "Elizabeth doesn't take any shit." Outside, Tilly arrives, as Randi arrives as well, and Tilly looks towards her Mother, as Randi asks her Daughter "Did you call Felicia?" Tilly answers "She didn't tell you?" Randi asks "Tell me what?" Tilly responds "She and Dr.Nolan eloped." Randi's eyes widen, as she looks towards the bar, as she asks Tilly "What should we do? It looks like the entire family's here. And I hear a bat." Tilly looks at her Mother with disgust, and snaps "Well Mom, it's your problem. Lorenzo may have let this slide, but you and Aunt Elizabeth..." Randi yells "Enough about the damn zombie!" Tilly yells "She called me on my way here, and told me about you and Uncle William being drinking buddies." Randi sighs "Bitch." Tilly looks at her Mother, and tells her "I'm tired, and I'm staying at The Manor until Felicia returns. And as for your war with Aunt Elizabeth, I side with her!"

Ann, this has nothing to do with you!" Ann snaps back "The hell it don't! Your piece of shit Son beat my Great-Niece, and then his ass was shot by Elizabeth, and unfortunately he didn't croak, but he's getting his!" Randi is in shock, as she turns to Tilly, as she tells everyone "I'm staying out of this and going to pack my things." Randi yells "Tilly!" Tilly ignores her Mother, as Ann snarks "She really is smart after all. No wonder she's my favorite of Jackie's bastards." Lorenzo tells Randi boldly "And you helping my Dad with his relapse, and once everything's out of the building, it's being demolished!" Ann yells "Get her ass Lorenzo!"

Phillip is quiet, as William asks his Niece "So how did Ann take the news?" Jenny sighs "Luke told Mama. She got pissed, and gave me the Scar talk."

And let me tell her about us before she finds out herself." William goes "Smart thinking." Jenny looks at her Uncle, and warns him "Stay away from the booze."

Tyrone hangs up, as he gets a text, and smiles "Well I'll be damn, I'm gonna get lucky tonight." Tyrone struts out, with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Barbara storms inside, as Haley, Blake, Sarah, and Tilly are inside, as Barbara yells at Tilly "Give your piece of shit Brother a message from me, he's going to die! Done messed with the wrong Thomas. Think Lorenzo has a damn temper, you haven't seen mine!" Blake looks at his Wife, and Cousin, as Tilly tells Barbara "I don't speak to Zach. I disowned him, and so did the rest of the family." Barbara walks upstairs, and slams the door, as Tilly gets a text, and tells her Daughter and Son In Law "Looks like Lorenzo's going for broke. I need to get to the bar." Blake asks Tilly "Need me to come along?" Tilly looks upstairs, as Sarah tells her Mother "I'll go Mom." Tilly sternly responds to them "Stay here. Sarah, you're lucky enough to be pregnant after being shot, and Blake, watch after everything. As for Zach, if Barbara does find him, let her finish his ass off." Haley sighs "I feel the same way Tilly." Tilly heads out, as Blake looks at Sarah, as he warns her "I've never seen my Grandma this angry before." Sarah looks over to Haley, as she tells them "Might be wise to get out for awhile. When Grandma's upstairs, it's already a red flag." Blake and Sarah heads out, as Haley walks upstairs, and knocks on Barbara's bedroom door, and Barbara sighs "It's unlocked." Haley sits on her Grandmother's bed, and asks, as Barbara looks at a pistol, and loads it "Are you really going to kill Zach?" Barbara turns to Haley, and asks "Do you have the gun?" Haley responds "Downstairs." Barbara tells her Granddaughter "I was abused for many years, and one day I had enough, and your Grandpa was shot and killed by me. You need to defend yourself, and you are a Thomas, so you have some breathing room with Phillip." Haley goes "I just want him to leave me alone. He's still bothering me." Barbara puts her pistol down, and holds Haley, and tells her "And there's only one solution. Death." Outside, Zach has parked his car, as he walks up the sidewalk, and finds the door unlocked, and walks inside, as he hides, holding a pistol.
At Randi's Place, three moving trucks have arrived, as Matt and J.R. guard the premises, as Lorenzo pulls into the parking lot, as he walks inside, as Ann helps herself to the bar, as she quips with a buzz "We got ourselves a bar now. Now what are we going to do with the trash in here?" J.R. looks at his Mother, as he quips "Since you're over there finishing off the whiskey, save me a drink." Ann yells "There's more behind the bar. Liquor, Vodka, Beer, Cheap Beer, Cheap Liquor." Ann comes across a bag, as she says out loud "And what might this be?" Lorenzo walks inside, as Ann runs over to her Nephew, and hugs him, and smiles "So now we're getting that old whore?" Lorenzo asks his Aunt "Have you been drinking?" Ann quips "I live across the road. And I can stagger back home after I see Randi's face. Her wrinkled old face. Slut." Matt tells them "My Mama's going rogue, and Aunt Ann's being herself, and Uncle William...." Lorenzo yells to his Cousin "I don't want to hear any shit about my damn Father's relapse! Mama saved his ass from me earlier." Ann asks "Well where is he?" Lorenzo responds "Home. Mama's moving in with him." Mischief comes across Ann's face, as she laughs "Elizabeth doesn't take any shit." Outside, Tilly arrives, as Randi arrives as well, and Tilly looks towards her Mother, as Randi asks her Daughter "Did you call Felicia?" Tilly answers "She didn't tell you?" Randi asks "Tell me what?" Tilly responds "She and Dr.Nolan eloped." Randi's eyes widen, as she looks towards the bar, as she asks Tilly "What should we do? It looks like the entire family's here. And I hear a bat." Tilly looks at her Mother with disgust, and snaps "Well Mom, it's your problem. Lorenzo may have let this slide, but you and Aunt Elizabeth..." Randi yells "Enough about the damn zombie!" Tilly yells "She called me on my way here, and told me about you and Uncle William being drinking buddies." Randi sighs "Bitch." Tilly looks at her Mother, and tells her "I'm tired, and I'm staying at The Manor until Felicia returns. And as for your war with Aunt Elizabeth, I side with her!" Randi grows angry, as she yells at Tilly "Traitor!" Inside, Ann walks out of the office, as she yells "Yoo hoo! Lorenzo baby, look who's been calling Mommy." Randi runs inside, as she yells at J.R. and Matt, as they remove photos from the walls "Stop!" Lorenzo looks over at his Aunt, as Tilly stands at the door, with sadness in her eyes, as Lorenzo sighs "You didn't live up to your end of the loan, so I'm here to make good on my word." Randi snarls "You are just like your damn Mother!" Ann walks out of Randi's office, as she yells at Randi "Bitch you need to get out of here!" Randi snarls "You! You are the reason for all of this. Ann, this has nothing to do with you!" Ann snaps back "The hell it don't! Your piece of shit Son beat my Great-Niece, and then his ass was shot by Elizabeth, and unfortunately he didn't croak, but he's getting his!" Randi is in shock, as she turns to Tilly, as she tells everyone "I'm staying out of this and going to pack my things." Randi yells "Tilly!" Tilly ignores her Mother, as Ann snarks "She really is smart after all. No wonder she's my favorite of Jackie's bastards." Lorenzo tells Randi boldly "And you helping my Dad with his relapse, and once everything's out of the building, it's being demolished!" Ann yells "Get her ass Lorenzo!" Randi screams "Screw all of you! And Lorenzo, you just declared war for your Mother. I wish she had died!" Ann walks over, and punches Randi in the face, as Lorenzo's eyes fill with rage, and J.R. and Matt stands by their Cousin, as Randi and Ann begins to fight.
At William's Home, William sits back, as he watches TV, as there's a knock at the door, and William yells "Who is it?" Jenny yells "It's me and Phillip." William goes to open the door, as Jenny asks her Uncle "Are you feeling alright? You look like hell." William quips "Elizabeth cleaned my cabinets, and left to get her things to move in." Phillip is quiet, as William asks his Niece "So how did Ann take the news?" Jenny sighs "Luke told Mama. She got pissed, and gave me the Scar talk." Phillip quips "If you have any relation to Scarlet that involved a child, she never forgets it." William laughs "That's my Sister for you. I think the two of you are great for each other, and I'm glad you're staying in town Jenny." Jenny nods, holding Phillip "Me too." Phillip's phone rings, as he tells Jenny and William "It's Lacey." Phillip walks outside, as William asks his Niece "So how's things down the street?" Jenny responds "Mama's over there, Lorenzo, J.R. and Matt's there, and Randi." William sighs with relief "Well thank god Elizabeth didn't show up." Jenny goes "The rivalry still burns?" William nods, as Phillip runs inside, as he tells Jenny "We need to go. Lacey's in town. And let me tell her about us before she finds out herself." William goes "Smart thinking." Jenny looks at her Uncle, and warns him "Stay away from the booze." William nods, as Jenny and Phillip leaves, as William picks up his phone, and makes a phone call, that goes to voicemail.
Meanwhile at Lena's Loft, Lena, Nikki, and Lizzie has dinner, as Lena asks her Daughter and Granddaughter "I'd think Lorenzo'd be here by now? He must be busy." Lizzie rolls her eyes, as Nikki sighs "He hasn't called. I think he went to visit Dad." Lena tells them "I heard he was drinking again. Last time wasn't so hot for William." Nikki tells her Mother and Daughter "Elizabeth told me if he started again, it would be over. They've been married for a long time." Lena assures Nikki "Those two won't ever divorce. Trust that." At Randi's Mansion, Tilly arrives, as she heads to pack her belongings, as she prepares to move into The Bluebird Manor. At Randi's Place, Elizabeth has arrived, as she walks inside, as Randi's restrained by Matt, and J.R. restrains his Mother, as Ann snarls "I want to kill you Randi!" Elizabeth looks around, at the broken glasses, and bottles, and laughs "From the look of things, Ann kicked your ass Miranda." Randi pushes Matt away from her, as she gets in her Sister's face, and coldly tells her "Elizabeth Duncan Thomas, you shot my Son, and I am going to destroy you once and for all." Lorenzo meanwhile is silent, as he turns towards his Aunt, as Randi looks at Lorenzo, with disgust, as Ann yells at Randi, as J.R. walks his Mother out "You always believed in karma you whore, now you've lost." Ann struts out, as Elizabeth is silent, and Matt gets a text, and looks at Lorenzo and tells him "Zach's at Mama's. He's got her and Haley at gunpoint." Lorenzo looks at his Aunt, and tells her "I hope you got a burial plan for his ass." as Lorenzo and Matt rushes out. Meanwhile Elizabeth turns towards her Sister, and points at the door, as she snarks "If I could shoot Zach, I'd have no damn trouble putting a bullet in you." Randi walks out, as Elizabeth holds her pistol, and locks up the bar, as Randi stands outside, with sadness, as Elizabeth goes "Sorry bitch, that doesn't work with me." Elizabeth leaves, as Randi calls Jack, as he sits at his Estate, and tells him "We're nailing their asses!" Jack tells his Ex-Wife "Want to come over and catch up on some lost time." Randi agrees, as she drives off. At the Sunset Inn, Dina sits in her motel room, as Sayyid stands above her, and in a tone of disgust snarls "I have no family left, and I love Lena, so you will do what I demand. Either we'll do this my way, or we'll take a look inside the briefcase." Dina shivers in fear, knowing Sayyid's track record. At Sullivan's River Casino, Tyrone and Lacey are inside a hotel room, as they have sex, as they are seeing each other. Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Barbara and Haley has their pistols aimed at Zach, as Zach has his pistol aimed at Haley, and in a drugged out tone, asks his Ex-Wife "So is Granny there going to kill me, or am I going to kill both of you?" Barbara cuts off her safety, as she warns Zach "You're about to regret the day you ever tested me." The safety's turned off on Zach's pistol, Haley's pistol, as they face off. The front door opens, and a shot's fired, as someone screams in terror "NO!!!"

Loma Vista: Episode 23. Pushing The Limits
At Thomas Holdings, Dina stands at Lorenzo's desk, as Lorenzo is silent, and glares at Dina, as he puts the paper back inside the envelope, and asks "Are you really this desperate?" Dina tells Lorenzo "I know it's you, and we can be together as it should be." Lorenzo yells "I have my damn family! What do you want? Money? Would you then shut the hell up, and burn that piece of paper?" Dina starts to cry, as Lorenzo boldly warns her "If you mess up my life, I will make you regret breathing. Remember that! Now get the hell out of this damn building before I call security!" Dina yells "I'd think you'd want this chance!" Lorenzo yells back "And you are a whore who also worked for the infamous Scarlet Thomas, therefore nobody'd believe the words of Scarlet's whore would they?" Dina runs out in tears, as Lorenzo is silent, with anger in his eyes, as he picks up the telephone and makes a phone call, and goes "Dina Monroe. I want her history."
At Randi's Place, as William sits at the bar and drinks a bottle of liquor, Jack walks up, and sits next to him, as William slurs to Jack "I bet you think because I've had a few drinks, you can get back your empire. You won't do it you sorry, worthless, piece of shit son of a bitch." Jack laughs, and whispers "I guess hiding the fact that Elizabeth was alive for so many months really got to you. Nothing wrong with a few drinks William. You are a drunk." William snarls angrily "What in the hell did you call me?" Jack repeats himself, and William punches Jack in the mouth, as Tilly has walked inside, and notices her Father and Uncle, as she runs over, and gasps "Oh no! Uncle William.." William snarls at Jack "Screw you. And you have nothing, and your name no longer matters in Loma Vista!" Jack looks at his Daughter, as he walks out, and Tilly asks her Uncle "Why are you drunk?" William yells "It's nobody's damn business Tilly! And I'm a paying customer, and your Mama invited me!" Tilly opens her hand, and William asks "Want some money?" Tilly snaps "Car keys!" William slurs "Go catch up with your Daddy. Hell maybe he'll help you out." Tilly walks behind the bar and tells the staff "Don't give that man anymore alcohol or you'll be out of a damn job!" Tilly walks into the office, as she gets her phone, and calls her Aunt, as Elizabeth's phone sits inside Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, as Tilly hangs up, and says to herself "Mom, you are really going too far." Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Randi arrives, as Zach sits outside, as Randi yells at her Son "I told you I was finished with your ass Zach! Now leave!" Zach starts to cry, as he tells his Mother "I need you Mom!" Randi snaps back "You are about to cost me my bar, and cause another war in our family." Zach shrugs "Just finish the old bitch off Mom. I'll help you with that." Randi slaps her Son, and pulls out her phone, as Zach pulls out his pistol, as he screams at his Mother in a furious tone "You are going to help me, or you'll regret it!"
At Sullivan's River Casino, at Ernest's Kitchen, Nikki and Lizzie arrives, as Elizabeth and Lena sits together, and has lunch, and Elizabeth asks her Daughter In Law "Seen my phone?" Nikki sighs "Shit. It's back at the mansion." Elizabeth quips "Hell don't worry about it. I hate modern technology anyways." Lizzie looks at her Grandmothers, as she asks them "Why do I get the sense the two of you are scheming?" Lena snaps "Randi wants a part of this casino, and my part of the casino most likely, and the old bitch isn't getting it, so she can go to hell!" Nikki rolls her eyes, as Elizabeth laughs "Well Randi sold her part, and I gave it to Lena, and she has her own issues to deal with, so like Lena said, old bitch can go to hell." Ann meanwhile arrives, as Nikki and Lizzie turns, and Ann greets Nikki and her Great-Niece with a hug, as Elizabeth asks Ann "So decided to take me up on lunch?" Ann smiles "How could I pass up spending time with my best friend Sis." Lena quips to Ann "Don't let Randi hear you say that. She's already been on the rampage today." Ann quips "And my Daughter's getting close to Scar's Ex-Husband." Nikki asks Ann "Aren't you seeing Luke Mason?" Ann nods, and Lizzie shakes her head, as she tells her Mother, Grandmothers, and Great-Aunt "As much as I'd like to hang around, I'm going back home." Nikki adds "I'm following Lizzie. I got enough to deal with involving Lorenzo." Nikki leaves, as Ann asks her Sister In Law "So he's still not accepting Junior?" Elizabeth sighs "No. I'm taking care of my Grandbaby though. He was the second one I revealed myself to after returning to town." Lena asks Ann "So what's your reaction to the news today?", referring to the fire at Barbara's building in Downtown Loma Vista. Ann tells them bluntly "Barbara has my Daddy's temper, and don't underestimate her. People think I have a temper, but shit, Barbara's older, and with age, meaner." Elizabeth reminds Ann "You also have a temper Ann." Ann and Lena turns to Elizabeth, as she sarcastically "Hell don't all of us? Why we all get along so well." Ann asks Elizabeth, changing subjects "So did you hear about this morning? William came to Thomas Auto drunk. J.R. called me on my way over and told me." Elizabeth adds "And Miranda was at his house." Ann's eyes widen, as she looks at Elizabeth and Lena, and tells them "I need to go back to the office." Ann leaves, as Lena looks at Elizabeth, and warns her "I think someone's going to tear Randi to shreds." Elizabeth responds in a calm tone "That's the least of her problems. She's about to be broke, and lose everything, and I'll enjoy every damn moment."
Meanwhile at the Loma Vista Police Department, Barbara sits inside Phillip's Office, as Luke also sits inside, as Barbara yells with rage "I am warning both of you. I see Zach, I'll kill his ass! He's abused Haley, and he has burned down my property in Downtown off some fit he thrown fueled by cocaine, what you should do Phillip, is let me deal with him." Phillip sighs "Barbara, I think the wisest thing for you to do is to just let the Police Department do their job. Luke and I both will make damn certain he's rotting in prison, and executed. I don't condone a man hitting a woman." Luke agrees, as he's silent, and reads his tablet, as he looks at his Brother, and Barbara, as he tells them "I think I could talk to a friend of mine, and have him sentenced as soon as he's arrested." Barbara screams "The hell with that! He needs to die!" Phillip looks at Luke, and tells his Brother "Excuse us for a second." Luke walks out, as Jenny stands outside, and asks Luke "Who's in there?" Luke quips "Within a second, you'll know..." Inside, Phillip looks at Barbara, and reminds her "Barbara, I know you killed Duke Wilson, and William Sr kept it covered up, and I'd do the same thing for you, because it would be fitting, but remember you are the calmest of the Thomas family. And you are the Grandmother of my Daughter, and she still doesn't know yet, and I really want you to leave this to me and my officers." Barbara yells "Here's a deal Phillip. Call a massive manhunt, and search Jack Miller's Estate, Randi's home, bar, anyone related to the bastard. I'm not the only one wanting him dead. There's a hell of a lot of others in my family, and his that wants his ass in Lake Pittman!" Phillip asks "So what are we going to do?" Barbara bends down, and looks Phillip in the eyes, and snarls "Hope you all get to him before I do, or my family." Barbara storms out, as Jenny yells "Aunt Barbara?" Barbara ignores her Niece, as Luke quips "I never believed she was the one with the temper until now." Jenny tells him "The quiet ones are the ones to worry about the most, and if Aunt Barbara's angry, it's just a matter of time." Jenny walks inside Phillip's office, as she kisses him, and tells him "Mama knows and doesn't approve, but I don't care." As Luke attempts to open the door, Jenny tells him "Let us be alone." Luke walks away, as Jenny locks the door, and tells Phillip "I'm ready." Phillip and Jenny looks at each other, with love in their eyes, as Phillip and Jenny tears off each other's clothes, and Phillip puts Jenny on his desk, as they have sex.
Back at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, as he smokes a blunt, and J.R. walks inside, along with Tyrone, as J.R. turns to Tyrone, and tells him "I need to talk to my Cousin about Uncle William for a moment." Tyrone tells them "I looked for Zach's ass, and I didn't find him, but I got a phone call, and help will be on the way. It will make my Mama happy." Tyrone walks out, as J.R. asks his Cousin "So you're also hunting for Zach?" Lorenzo responds, as he takes a deep toke "Yeah. Want a hit?" J.R. shakes his head, as he goes "I'll pass." Lorenzo asks "So what's brought you down here? Felicia's left, and Aunt Ann went to see my Mama at the Casino." J.R. shakes his head, and stumbles on his words, as he tells Lorenzo in a sad tone "Uncle William needs help." Lorenzo asks "What kind of help?" J.R. takes a deep breath, and responds "He's on the bottle again." Lorenzo is silent, as J.R. notices a look in his Cousin's eyes, as Lorenzo looks up, and shakes his head in frustration, as he asks "What else is bothering you?" Lorenzo tells his Cousin "All I can say for my Dad's that he best hope I don't see him. And everything else is perfect. Go back down to Thomas Auto and keep things going." J.R. walks out, as Tyrone stands outside, and J.R. asks Tyrone "So Sayyid's on his way back?" Tyrone smiles, as he says "Hell yes he is. Perfect timing." J.R. looks at Tyrone, as Tyrone asks J.R. "So what was going on between you and Dina at The President's Room? She's pregnant?" J.R. responds "Yep." Tyrone warns J.R. "Shit's about to really get heavy now. I'm going to the airport. I'll leave Lorenzo alone. He acts like he already knows." J.R. nods, and adds "He's not happy, and he's planning something."
At Randi's Mansion, Randi sits on her couch, as Zach, in a crazed tone, holding a pistol, coldly tells his Mother "So the entire family has kicked me to the curb? You really are one sorry excuse for a Mother." Randi yells at Zach "Don't judge me. I told you I was finished! I meant it!" Zach cries "You can't disown me Mommy. Daddy's disowned me too, and my family. I need you." Randi gets up, as she looks at Zach, and sighs "You need to get help, and hand me that pistol, and leave. I still love you, but please get out of here. I know people are looking for you, and if anyone connected to the Thomas family finds you, you'll be dead." Zach looks at his Mother, and tells her "Mom, thank you for supporting me. And Aunt Elizabeth was the one that shot me in case you didn't know." Zach heads to the door, as there's a knock, and Randi points to the back, and whispers in a fast tone "Leave through the back!" Zach rushes out, as Randi answers the door to see Jack standing on the other side, as he asks his Ex-Wife "May I come in Miranda?" Randi sighs "Sure. What do you need?" Jack tells Randi "William's drinking again, and I may be able to get back our Daughters legacy from what Ann gave to him in the divorce settlement." Randi nods, and goes "I know he is, and I'm not stopping him. I'm about to get back my part in Mama's Casino from Lena Houston. Elizabeth will be distracted, and I'll have some security." Jack looks at Randi, as he asks her "Has Lorenzo or his hit men came after your bar?" Randi responds "Not yet. But I imagine it to be soon. He paid off that loan and had that one stipulation in the deed, and he knows about Zach being there thanks to your first Ex-Wife." Jack sighs "Ann will never let it go, but I do have our old home back in Red Bridge." Randi smiles, as Jack proposes a deal to Randi, as he tells her "If we're successful, I'll have what's mine, and you can have Ernest's grocery chain, and get it away from the Thomas family." Randi walks over to the liquor cabinet, and tells Jack "I accept, and Elizabeth will learn not to underestimate me." They have a toast, as Jack goes "To getting back our legacies."
At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki and Lizzie are inside, as Lizzie gets off the phone with Loma Vista Hospital at Downtown, and tells her Mother "Looks like I'll be at Lakeside." Nikki tells her Daughter "Baby, that will be a great place to work also. With your knowledge, and wits, you'll rise through the ranks." Lizzie tells her Mother boldly "Mama, I want to make it on my terms, and not from anybody's help." Nikki hugs her Daughter, with a smile on her face, as she holds Lizzie in her arms. At Thomas Auto, Ann has arrived, as Barbara, J.R., and Matt are inside, and Ann asks "Where in the hell is William?" Barbara looks at Ann, and asks "And what do you recommend regarding Zach?" Ann shrugs "Kill him." Barbara looks at her Son, and Nephew, as she's informed them of her meeting with Phillip, and reminds them "Thomas is a revered name in this town, and feared." Ann quips "That's my Sister. I love this side of you." Barbara looks at her Sister, and sighs "Well Ann, I'm not as passive as you think." Ann sighs "Oh I know." At Barbara's Home, Haley, Sarah, and Blake are inside, as Tilly also sits inside the living room, as she tells her Daughter and Son In Law "I think the party's on hold. Something's about to happen, and Mom's reverting into her old self, and everything's going downhill fast." Sarah sighs with sadness "Damnit. Why can't we have peace. Aunt Elizabeth's alive..." Tilly sighs "And that's great, but to your Grandma, that's war." At Randi's Place, an unknown person arrives, as the head bartender asks "What's going on?" The person tells the bartender "This is for Ms.Camden." The person leaves, as the bartender sees on the name "Thomas Holdings", and calls Randi, as her phone goes to voicemail. At Sullivan's River Casino, Lena sits inside her office, as she prepares to leave, as Tyrone walks inside, and Lena sighs with relief "Boy be lucky Elizabeth isn't here." Tyrone tells his Mother "I have to tell you something, and it has to stay between us." Lena asks her Son "And what is it Tyrone?" Tyrone stutters, as Lena yells "Out with it!" Tyrone yells "Never mind!", as he walks out, leaving Lena suspicious. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Dina stands at the gates, and is silent, as she pulls the paper out of the envelope again, as she sighs "Damn.", as she drops it, and someone picks it up. At William's Home meanwhile, William is passed out, as he's heavily intoxicated, as the front door flies open, and William wakes, as Elizabeth holds a pistol, and aims it at her Husband and snaps "William Thomas Jr, you and I are about to have it out!" William is speechless, as anger and rage pumps through Elizabeth.
At Randi's Place, as William sits at the bar and drinks a bottle of liquor, Jack walks up, and sits next to him, as William slurs to Jack "I bet you think because I've had a few drinks, you can get back your empire. You won't do it you sorry, worthless, piece of shit son of a bitch." Jack laughs, and whispers "I guess hiding the fact that Elizabeth was alive for so many months really got to you. Nothing wrong with a few drinks William. You are a drunk." William snarls angrily "What in the hell did you call me?" Jack repeats himself, and William punches Jack in the mouth, as Tilly has walked inside, and notices her Father and Uncle, as she runs over, and gasps "Oh no! Uncle William.." William snarls at Jack "Screw you. And you have nothing, and your name no longer matters in Loma Vista!" Jack looks at his Daughter, as he walks out, and Tilly asks her Uncle "Why are you drunk?" William yells "It's nobody's damn business Tilly! And I'm a paying customer, and your Mama invited me!" Tilly opens her hand, and William asks "Want some money?" Tilly snaps "Car keys!"

I'll help you with that." Randi slaps her Son, and pulls out her phone, as Zach pulls out his pistol, as he screams at his Mother in a furious tone "You are going to help me, or you'll regret it!"

Inside, Phillip looks at Barbara, and reminds her "Barbara, I know you killed Duke Wilson, and William Sr kept it covered up, and I'd do the same thing for you, because it would be fitting, but remember you are the calmest of the Thomas family. And you are the Grandmother of my Daughter, and she still doesn't know yet, and I really want you to leave this to me and my officers." Barbara yells "Here's a deal Phillip. Call a massive manhunt, and search Jack Miller's Estate, Randi's home, bar, anyone related to the bastard. I'm not the only one wanting him dead. There's a hell of a lot of others in my family, and his that wants his ass in Lake Pittman!" Phillip asks "So what are we going to do?" Barbara bends down, and looks Phillip in the eyes, and snarls "Hope you all get to him before I do, or my family." Barbara storms out, as Jenny yells "Aunt Barbara?" Barbara ignores her Niece, as Luke quips "I never believed she was the one with the temper until now." Jenny tells him "The quiet ones are the ones to worry about the most, and if Aunt Barbara's angry, it's just a matter of time." Jenny walks inside Phillip's office, as she kisses him, and tells him "Mama knows and doesn't approve, but I don't care." As Luke attempts to open the door, Jenny tells him "Let us be alone." Luke walks away, as Jenny locks the door, and tells Phillip "I'm ready." Phillip and Jenny looks at each other, with love in their eyes, as Phillip and Jenny tears off each other's clothes, and Phillip puts Jenny on his desk, as they have sex.
Back at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, as he smokes a blunt, and J.R. walks inside, along with Tyrone, as J.R. turns to Tyrone, and tells him "I need to talk to my Cousin about Uncle William for a moment." Tyrone tells them "I looked for Zach's ass, and I didn't find him, but I got a phone call, and help will be on the way. It will make my Mama happy." Tyrone walks out, as J.R. asks his Cousin "So you're also hunting for Zach?" Lorenzo responds, as he takes a deep toke "Yeah. Want a hit?" J.R. shakes his head, as he goes "I'll pass." Lorenzo asks "So what's brought you down here? Felicia's left, and Aunt Ann went to see my Mama at the Casino." J.R. shakes his head, and stumbles on his words, as he tells Lorenzo in a sad tone "Uncle William needs help." Lorenzo asks "What kind of help?" J.R. takes a deep breath, and responds "He's on the bottle again." Lorenzo is silent, as J.R. notices a look in his Cousin's eyes, as Lorenzo looks up, and shakes his head in frustration, as he asks "What else is bothering you?" Lorenzo tells his Cousin "All I can say for my Dad's that he best hope I don't see him. And everything else is perfect. Go back down to Thomas Auto and keep things going." J.R. walks out, as Tyrone stands outside, and J.R. asks Tyrone "So Sayyid's on his way back?" Tyrone smiles, as he says "Hell yes he is. Perfect timing." J.R. looks at Tyrone, as Tyrone asks J.R. "So what was going on between you and Dina at The President's Room? She's pregnant?" J.R. responds "Yep." Tyrone warns J.R. "Shit's about to really get heavy now. I'm going to the airport. I'll leave Lorenzo alone. He acts like he already knows." J.R. nods, and adds "He's not happy, and he's planning something."
At Randi's Mansion, Randi sits on her couch, as Zach, in a crazed tone, holding a pistol, coldly tells his Mother "So the entire family has kicked me to the curb? You really are one sorry excuse for a Mother." Randi yells at Zach "Don't judge me. I told you I was finished! I meant it!" Zach cries "You can't disown me Mommy. Daddy's disowned me too, and my family. I need you." Randi gets up, as she looks at Zach, and sighs "You need to get help, and hand me that pistol, and leave. I still love you, but please get out of here. I know people are looking for you, and if anyone connected to the Thomas family finds you, you'll be dead." Zach looks at his Mother, and tells her "Mom, thank you for supporting me. And Aunt Elizabeth was the one that shot me in case you didn't know." Zach heads to the door, as there's a knock, and Randi points to the back, and whispers in a fast tone "Leave through the back!" Zach rushes out, as Randi answers the door to see Jack standing on the other side, as he asks his Ex-Wife "May I come in Miranda?" Randi sighs "Sure. What do you need?" Jack tells Randi "William's drinking again, and I may be able to get back our Daughters legacy from what Ann gave to him in the divorce settlement." Randi nods, and goes "I know he is, and I'm not stopping him. I'm about to get back my part in Mama's Casino from Lena Houston. Elizabeth will be distracted, and I'll have some security." Jack looks at Randi, as he asks her "Has Lorenzo or his hit men came after your bar?" Randi responds "Not yet. But I imagine it to be soon. He paid off that loan and had that one stipulation in the deed, and he knows about Zach being there thanks to your first Ex-Wife." Jack sighs "Ann will never let it go, but I do have our old home back in Red Bridge." Randi smiles, as Jack proposes a deal to Randi, as he tells her "If we're successful, I'll have what's mine, and you can have Ernest's grocery chain, and get it away from the Thomas family." Randi walks over to the liquor cabinet, and tells Jack "I accept, and Elizabeth will learn not to underestimate me." They have a toast, as Jack goes "To getting back our legacies."
At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki and Lizzie are inside, as Lizzie gets off the phone with Loma Vista Hospital at Downtown, and tells her Mother "Looks like I'll be at Lakeside." Nikki tells her Daughter "Baby, that will be a great place to work also. With your knowledge, and wits, you'll rise through the ranks." Lizzie tells her Mother boldly "Mama, I want to make it on my terms, and not from anybody's help." Nikki hugs her Daughter, with a smile on her face, as she holds Lizzie in her arms. At Thomas Auto, Ann has arrived, as Barbara, J.R., and Matt are inside, and Ann asks "Where in the hell is William?" Barbara looks at Ann, and asks "And what do you recommend regarding Zach?" Ann shrugs "Kill him." Barbara looks at her Son, and Nephew, as she's informed them of her meeting with Phillip, and reminds them "Thomas is a revered name in this town, and feared." Ann quips "That's my Sister. I love this side of you." Barbara looks at her Sister, and sighs "Well Ann, I'm not as passive as you think." Ann sighs "Oh I know." At Barbara's Home, Haley, Sarah, and Blake are inside, as Tilly also sits inside the living room, as she tells her Daughter and Son In Law "I think the party's on hold. Something's about to happen, and Mom's reverting into her old self, and everything's going downhill fast." Sarah sighs with sadness "Damnit. Why can't we have peace. Aunt Elizabeth's alive..." Tilly sighs "And that's great, but to your Grandma, that's war." At Randi's Place, an unknown person arrives, as the head bartender asks "What's going on?" The person tells the bartender "This is for Ms.Camden." The person leaves, as the bartender sees on the name "Thomas Holdings", and calls Randi, as her phone goes to voicemail. At Sullivan's River Casino, Lena sits inside her office, as she prepares to leave, as Tyrone walks inside, and Lena sighs with relief "Boy be lucky Elizabeth isn't here." Tyrone tells his Mother "I have to tell you something, and it has to stay between us." Lena asks her Son "And what is it Tyrone?" Tyrone stutters, as Lena yells "Out with it!" Tyrone yells "Never mind!", as he walks out, leaving Lena suspicious. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Dina stands at the gates, and is silent, as she pulls the paper out of the envelope again, as she sighs "Damn.", as she drops it, and someone picks it up. At William's Home meanwhile, William is passed out, as he's heavily intoxicated, as the front door flies open, and William wakes, as Elizabeth holds a pistol, and aims it at her Husband and snaps "William Thomas Jr, you and I are about to have it out!" William is speechless, as anger and rage pumps through Elizabeth.

Loma Vista: Episode 22. Strike Three
It's the next morning in Loma Vista, and at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki sits downstairs with her Daughter Lizzie, as Lizzie and her Mother catch up on everything that's happened since she's been away in Switzerland in Medical School. Lizzie asks "Where did Mamaw go this morning? She promised breakfast." As the news shows the fire that destroyed Jack's Apartment flashes across the TV, Nikki sighs "Lorenzo left early too. Elizabeth's likely at the casino with Mama, and Lorenzo's planning something. Your Father hasn't changed very much." Lizzie sighs with disgust "I haven't seen him, but it upsets me how he got Tyrone out of jail." Nikki holds her Daughter, and agrees, as she adds "As long as I don't see him, it's ok. If I do, his ass is mine." At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo walks inside his office, as Tyrone sits at Lorenzo's desk, as Lorenzo asks his Brother In Law "Have a safe trip from Blue Ridge?" Tyrone nods, as he rolls a blunt, and asks Lorenzo "Got a towel for the door?" Lorenzo laughs "Shit, I own this building, and run Thomas Holdings, so I can do what in the hell I want to." Tyrone laughs "Nicole picked a great man marrying you Lorenzo." Lorenzo smiles "My Mama's alive and healthy, and life is back to normal, and Lizzie's home from overseas, so I'm content, but I want Zach Miller dead if he didn't die in that fire last night." Tyrone goes "Didn't you send him off?" Lorenzo, in a calculated tone answers "I had him sent to the hole at Lexington. He was released, and his stupid ass acts puts me in a tough spot." Tyrone tells him "I got the AKs and ready to kill." Tyrone lights the blunt, as Lorenzo laughs "Oh it's about to come for him. If you've watched the news already, it's just a matter of time." Tyrone quips, as he lights up the blunt "I wonder who'll get to his ass first."
At William's Home, William awakens, as he has a headache and looks at his phone, as he sighs with pain "Shit. I bet Ann's already told Elizabeth." William gets the liquor bottle, and takes it into the kitchen, and throws it away, as he takes an aspirin, and someone knocks at the door, as William walks to the front door, as it's Randi, and she asks her Brother In Law "So you knew Elizabeth was alive?" William sighs "You know her Randi, she wanted to keep it secret until she was ready, and there's no middle ground with her." Randi notices a shot glass by William's chair, and picks it up, as she asks "Did she drive you back to the bottle?" William sighs "I made a mistake drinking, and it's my fault. I am an alcoholic.." Randi shrugs and laughs "Hell William, everyone deserves a drink." William quips "Coming from the owner of Lake Pittman's most popular bar." Randi sighs "I drink, and Ann drinks, why can't you? Did Elizabeth tell you not to?" William responds "My years of drinking hurt Lorenzo and I's relationship. I think we've repaired it, but he still holds anger over my actions." Randi looks at William, and tells him "Well if he doesn't know, and you can control the liquor, then it's no problem. Don't let Elizabeth boss you around." William asks Randi "I take it you aren't too damn happy about Elizabeth's return?" Randi looks at her phone, and tells William "Come down later to the bar and visit. I am sure your damn Sister's already ran her mouth." William sighs with defeat "That's Ann." Randi hugs William, as she leaves, unknown to her, Elizabeth stands outside, as she walks from behind a patch of trees, as she says to herself "You should be tending to Zach instead of checking out William for spite bitch." Elizabeth walks to the side of the street, as she gets into her car, as she drives to Sullivan's River Casino, as inside William's Home, William opens a cabinet, and picks up a flask, and puts it in his pocket, as he heads to Thomas Auto.
At Barbara's Home, Tilly arrives, as Sarah and Haley are inside the living room, as Sarah looks at her Mother, and sighs with disgust "One of those infamous gatherings was called. I warned Blake to stay out of it, but he listened to Barbara." Tilly tells her Daughter "Zach's been disowned by us, so I could care less at this point." Tilly asks Sarah "So does Barbara know the good news yet?" Haley tells her Former Sister In Law "She has left along with Dad and Blake. I think they went to meet with Phillip Mason." Tilly sighs with dread "Haley, I didn't see Ann home, so they are likely preparing something, and with Zach and the bar, and Lorenzo's part in us getting it back, it puts all of us in danger." Sarah asks "Why?" As Haley listens, along with Sarah, Tilly tells them "With Aunt Elizabeth alive and well, she will put in her two cents, and Mom and Aunt Elizabeth has never gotten along." Sarah is silent, as Haley asks "I heard she has a temper?" Tilly answers "She does, and she and Ann are very close, and one of the main reasons Mom has such a disdain for Aunt Elizabeth along with more. That's only the cusp of it." Tilly adds "And for the record, Aunt Elizabeth's always been good to me, and helped me get away from Scarlet's world, and that's more than Mom did." Sarah is stunned, as she asks "Why didn't Grandma help?" Tilly sighs "She had issues of her own at the time. Gram also had some problems with Mom. She loved to pit them against each other." Sarah sighs "Well that explains Grandma's reaction." Tilly asks Sarah and Haley "Want to go grab breakfast?" Haley declines, as she tells Tilly "Dad and Grandma have told me to stay here, with Zach on the prowl." Tilly hugs Haley, and sighs "The cocaine just destroyed him Haley." Haley sighs with sadness "It did. I don't know him anymore." Sarah also hugs Haley, as Tilly and Sarah heads out, as Haley locks the door, and pulls out a pistol, and says to herself "Thank you Grandma." with content in her eyes, and feeling safe.
Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, inside Ann's office, Jenny arrives, as she tells her Mother with joy "Guess who's staying in town?" Ann looks up, and lights a cigarette, and tells her Daughter "I disapprove of it. Don't you know that was your Cousin's Ex?" Jenny asks with shock "How did you know about Phillip?" Ann responds in a sly tone "I am getting my love life back with his Brother, so I don't like it." Jenny reminds her "He's the Police Commissioner of Loma Vista, and we've discussed our children, ironically one's my Cousin." Ann boldly warns her Daughter, standing up, and eyes filled with rage "Anything that Scar's touched, I want out of this family besides the only one of the damn spawn that follows traditions, Blake!" Jenny sighs "Mama, Lacey lives in Las Vegas." Ann quips "Perfect for a Madam's Daughter, who's been in law, and followed Scar's tracks." Jenny sighs with sadness "I haven't been in love for years, you should be happy about it!" Ann yells "Well girl, forget it!", as she furiously sits back down at her desk, and goes "I have some files to check." Jenny walks out the door, and bumps into her Half-Sister, and Felicia tells Jenny "I'm about to elope with Dr.Nolan." Jenny responds "And I'm seeing Phillip Mason." Felicia congratulates Jenny, as Jenny does the same, and Felicia asks "Have you seen Aunt Elizabeth yet?" Jenny responds "Nope. I want to see her soon, she visited Mama this morning." Felicia sighs "Well my Mother isn't happy, so tell Ann to warn her. She wants a part of the Casino." Jenny shakes her head, and tells her Half-Sister "Have fun. I will stay the hell out of that one!" Jenny leaves, as Felicia shrugs "Hell I'll walk in there and tell the old bitch, and thank you Mom for this damn war that never ends."
At Thomas Auto, Barbara, Matt, J.R. and Blake sits inside William's office, as Barbara warns her Son and Nephew, and Grandson "He is to die! That little bastard has messed with the wrong Thomas and if I could kill my abusive Husband, I'll do it for my Granddaughter." Blake sighs "Grandma, Sarah's expecting our child, and.." Barbara smiles, as she goes "Aww, a Grandchild. Great Grandchild, wow." Blake tells his Grandma "Sarah wants me out of this." Barbara turns towards Matt and J.R., as Matt tells his Mother "I should do it. It's a Father's job to protect his kids. What Papaw taught me." J.R. nods in agreement, as Barbara adds "I guarantee that Lorenzo is hunting him down, and..." Someone walks inside the office, as everyone turns, as William yells "And a happy damn morning to everyone." Barbara gasps in shock "You're drunk.." William snaps "Hell no! Just fine. Take this shit elsewhere, I got a dealership to run, and I'm don't give a shit." Everyone shakes their heads, and Barbara tells Matt, J.R. and Blake "Please excuse us." They walk out, as J.R. warns his Cousins "Aunt Barbara for the win." All agree, yet stunned. Inside, Barbara asks her Brother in a stern tone "You went to AA and after 10 years you start back? I'll call the hospital right now! I bet Jack Miller's about to attack us since his damn Son burned down a building I own!" William slurs, as he opens the flask, and takes a drink "I'll kill the son of a bitch." Barbara screams, and walks out, as Matt, J.R. and Blake are still, and Matt asks his Cousin and Nephew "Ready for William 2? Blake rolls his eyes, as J.R. tells them "Aunt Elizabeth will take care of this, and so will Lorenzo."

Nikki asks her Husband "Elizabeth and Zach?" Lorenzo nods, as he goes "Mama's hot, and Zach has to pay for the shit he's done to my damn family!"Nikki agrees, as Lizzie asks with frustration "Another round Daddy? Can't this family do things besides offing anyone that steps in the way? Let the law deal with it?" Lorenzo quips "Scarlet's in Prison sweetness, so we work both ways." Nikki tells her Daughter "Give it up." Nikki tells her Husband, as she and Lizzie hug him "We'll see you at home tonight, and we'll celebrate Lizzie's new job at Loma Vista Hospital Downtown." Lorenzo nods, as his Wife and Daughter leaves, and Lorenzo returns to work, as he has his TV on, watching the news reports to the building Jack was living in, that's now confirmed as arson, as Phillip Mason tells the reporter "A lighter was found where the fire started, and part of it's repairable besides the upper floors." Lorenzo smiles, as he laughs "Somehow, you are going to die sorry piece of shit Cousin Zach. Bye."
At Sullivan's River Casino, Elizabeth and Lena are inside Lena's office, as Elizabeth and Lena catch up, and Lena laughs "You got high with the doctor girl? You're crazy!" Elizabeth, passing a joint to Lena laughs "Oh yes. Dr.Beth Jackson was incredible, and after I fully recovered, she died from a heart attack in her office. Sad. That lady was amazing. The real reason I'm sitting here. If you are dying and not ready to go, Adam's Landing is where to go." The door opens, as Randi coughs, and snaps "So I see the two of you are smoking it up in Mama's old office?" Elizabeth snarks to her Sister "And hello to you too Miranda." Randi yells "I hate my name old woman." Elizabeth snaps "Almost like you getting close to William this morning and encouraging him?" Lena looks at Elizabeth and Randi, and goes "And I'll stay out of the way." Randi yells at Lena "Stay your ass in here! I'm telling both of you, I'm about to buy back my part in this casino!" Elizabeth sarcastically asks "Scared of losing your headquarters of meeting men?" Randi warns Elizabeth "I never cheated on Clint!" Elizabeth snaps back in a bold tone "Getting pregnant by Jack while he was Married to Ann, and having Felicia, and Zach was your pitfall Miranda. Ann hates you to this day, as do I, and I'm not bailing you out. And warn Zach for his Auntie I'm hunting for his worthless ass. Great parenting Little Sister." Randi gets into Elizabeth's face, and snarls "I'm getting back my damn share bitch, and I have no damn trouble going after the perfect face for the Duncan Family from our Mama's eyes!" Randi storms out, as Lena walks back inside, and Elizabeth tells her friend, and Nikki's Mother "Randi's pissed. And I don't give two shits. I ain't helping that tramp!" Lena goes "Damn!" Elizabeth asks Lena "Want to smoke again?" Lena nods, and pulls out a blunt.
Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Jack walks inside, as Luke sits inside, as does Phillip, as Phillip assures Jack "You are safe, but Zach's going to prison for life if we get to him first." Jack defiantly goes "Perfect." William meanwhile walks inside, as he's heavily intoxicated, and yells at Jack "So you burned down my Sister's building you sorry ass son of a bitch?" Jack looks at William in silence, as a waitress walks him to the bar, as Jack watches intently, as he mutters "Self-Destruction."

At Thomas Holdings, Felicia walks inside Ann's office, as Ann asks "And what is it that you want dear?" Felicia quips "Funny. I need you to warn Aunt Elizabeth about my Mom."

At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki and Lizzie has a glass of wine, as Nikki tells her Daughter "This habit is bad." Lizzie goes "Just as bad as what you and Daddy, and Mamaw, and Nana do."

Back at Lorenzo's Office at Thomas Holdings, the door opens, as Dina walks inside, and Lorenzo asks Dina in a stern tone "Didn't I warn you?"

At Sullivan's River Casino, Elizabeth and Lena are inside Lena's office, as Elizabeth and Lena catch up, and Lena laughs "You got high with the doctor girl? You're crazy!" Elizabeth, passing a joint to Lena laughs "Oh yes. Dr.Beth Jackson was incredible, and after I fully recovered, she died from a heart attack in her office. Sad. That lady was amazing. The real reason I'm sitting here. If you are dying and not ready to go, Adam's Landing is where to go." The door opens, as Randi coughs, and snaps "So I see the two of you are smoking it up in Mama's old office?" Elizabeth snarks to her Sister "And hello to you too Miranda." Randi yells "I hate my name old woman." Elizabeth snaps "Almost like you getting close to William this morning and encouraging him?" Lena looks at Elizabeth and Randi, and goes "And I'll stay out of the way." Randi yells at Lena "Stay your ass in here! I'm telling both of you, I'm about to buy back my part in this casino!" Elizabeth sarcastically asks "Scared of losing your headquarters of meeting men?" Randi warns Elizabeth "I never cheated on Clint!" Elizabeth snaps back in a bold tone "Getting pregnant by Jack while he was Married to Ann, and having Felicia, and Zach was your pitfall Miranda. Ann hates you to this day, as do I, and I'm not bailing you out. And warn Zach for his Auntie I'm hunting for his worthless ass. Great parenting Little Sister." Randi gets into Elizabeth's face, and snarls "I'm getting back my damn share bitch, and I have no damn trouble going after the perfect face for the Duncan Family from our Mama's eyes!" Randi storms out, as Lena walks back inside, and Elizabeth tells her friend, and Nikki's Mother "Randi's pissed. And I don't give two shits. I ain't helping that tramp!" Lena goes "Damn!" Elizabeth asks Lena "Want to smoke again?" Lena nods, and pulls out a blunt.
Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Jack walks inside, as Luke sits inside, as does Phillip, as Phillip assures Jack "You are safe, but Zach's going to prison for life if we get to him first." Jack defiantly goes "Perfect." William meanwhile walks inside, as he's heavily intoxicated, and yells at Jack "So you burned down my Sister's building you sorry ass son of a bitch?" Jack looks at William in silence, as a waitress walks him to the bar, as Jack watches intently, as he mutters "Self-Destruction." At Barbara's Home, Blake returns, as he tells Sarah, Tilly, and Haley "Well I'm out of the plan." Sarah hugs her Husband as she gives him a kiss, and sighs "Thank you." At Thomas Auto, Barbara tells Matt, and J.R., inside Matt's Office "See him, kill him. He has to die." Matt asks his Mother "And do you promise to leave it to us?" Barbara looks at her Son and Nephew, with rage in her eyes, as she pulls a pistol from her purse, and goes "Matt, I killed your Father, and I don't have a damn problem killing Zach Miller." At Thomas Holdings, Felicia walks inside Ann's office, as Ann asks "And what is it that you want dear?" Felicia quips "Funny. I need you to warn Aunt Elizabeth about my Mom." Ann quips "Elizabeth has the whore's number." Felicia walks out, as she says to herself "Ann's back to the bitch from hell again. Meanwhile at the Sunset Inn, Tyrone asks the motel clerk "Know of a Zach Miller?" The clerk responds "He checked out this morning." Tyrone leaves. Outside Randi's Mansion, Zach sits, as he freebases. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki and Lizzie has a glass of wine, as Nikki tells her Daughter "This habit is bad." Lizzie goes "Just as bad as what you and Daddy, and Mamaw, and Nana do." Nikki quips "Ok Dr.Thomas. You win." Lizzie smiles at her Mother, as Nikki for the moment is at peace. Back at Lorenzo's Office at Thomas Holdings, the door opens, as Dina walks inside, and Lorenzo asks Dina in a stern tone "Didn't I warn you?" Dina opens her purse, and pulls out an envelope, and hands it to Lorenzo, as he opens it in silence, and he looks at what Dina has, and looks up, silent.

Loma Vista: Episode 21. Setting The Stage
As night's fallen in Loma Vista, at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, The Thomas, Duncan-Miller, and Houston families with few exceptions has gathered, as Elizabeth tells everyone "I didn't want nobody to see me suffer. I spoke to William before leaving town, and being connected to this city, well, you all know how it works so I don't need to explain anything." Ann smiles, as she looks at her Sister In Law with tears, and cries "Thank God you are alive Elizabeth. My best friend is back." Lena looks at Elizabeth, and tells her with a smile "I was wondering who was renting your suite. I thought it would be William, but now that I know it was you, things feel normal again." J.R. meanwhile arrives, as does Matt, as they head towards their Mothers, as Barbara tells Matt "She's alive. I don't believe what I'm seeing, but it's surely Elizabeth." Ann turns towards J.R., and asks "Where's Jenny?" J.R. tells his Mother "She's getting ready to head home tomorrow." Meanwhile Randi, Felicia, and Tilly stands away from everyone, as Randi shakes her head, as Felicia and Tilly asks their Mother "Are you alright Mom? You haven't even said a word." Randi walks towards her Sister, and looks at Elizabeth, and responds "Welcome home. That's all I have to say Elizabeth." Elizabeth quips "I see you haven't changed much Sis. Still jealous." Randi storms out, as Felicia asks her Aunt "So what about The Bluebird Manor? Are you going to want it back since you're alive?" Elizabeth looks at her Niece, and sighs "I am staying at the suite for now. I have had my time at Mama and Daddy's home, now it's yours, but we'll discuss the details later." Tilly hugs her Aunt, as Elizabeth looks at Sarah, and tells her Great-Niece "You will be an excellent Mommy, and keep Granny in check." Felicia and Tilly rolls their eyes, as Blake is silent, and Elizabeth warns him "Take care of my little Sarah." Upstairs, in Lorenzo's study, Lorenzo and Nikki share a blunt, as Nikki tells her Husband "I can't handle everyone under our roof." Lorenzo takes a deep toke, and responds "Only one person missing, Dad." Nikki asks "And why isn't he here?" Lorenzo answers "I called him, and no answer." Back downstairs, Barbara and Ann look at each other, as Ann asks Barbara "Where's William?" Barbara responds "I haven't seen him." Ann grows concerned, as Elizabeth notices, and walks over, and asks her Sister In Laws "Ok squealer, squeal." Ann looks at Elizabeth, and Barbara, and sighs "I have a feeling William's drinking again. I seen him with whiskey earlier." Barbara rolls her eyes, as Elizabeth yells "Ok, party's over. We'll all catch up tomorrow!" As the house empties, Lena stops and tells Elizabeth "Thank you for helping Little L." Elizabeth tells Lena "Thank you for accepting him. Now I have to work on my Son." Lena leaves, as does everyone else, as Elizabeth heads upstairs to Lorenzo's study. At William's Home, William is passed out, as an empty liquor bottle sits in the floor.
At Jack's Apartment, Zach pulls the tape off Haley's mouth, and asks her "So does this excite you? Haley screams at her Ex-Husband "Just untie me and let me go!" Zach screams "NO! I will not let you go Haley! You are my Wife!" Outside, Jack hears his Son, and unlocks the door, as he pulls out his pistol, and yells at Zach "Let Haley go!" Zach asks his Father "Siding with the evil Thomas family also Dad?" Jack snaps "No I'm trying to save your ass from being killed! Now untie Haley!" Zach looks at his Ex-Wife, as Jack turns off the safety to his pistol, as Zach unties Haley, and Zach dropkicks his Ex-Wife out the door, as Haley runs to the elevator, with tears in her eyes, and panic inside of her. Inside Jack's apartment, Jack sees the cocaine, and yells "I thought you cleaned up?" Zach tells his Father "Well I have to have something to deal with this messed up family! Mom's disowned me." Jack looks at his Son, and tells him, with sadness in his eyes "And I do as well Zach. I have lost a lot, and I've always been there for you, chosen you over my other kids, but not anymore. Your Sisters and Brother are doing well, yet here you are, acting like a spoiled brat. I'm done." Jack heads to his bedroom, as Zach yells "And where in the hell are you going? Back with that bitch Ann?" Jack yells back "You can stay here and self-destruct, I'm finished." Zach runs into the bedroom, as he asks his Father "You aren't really disowning me Dad?" Jack, packing his suitcase, and holding his pistol, tells Zach "I can't help you. You can only help yourself, and I want my life back. You can stay here, but I'm not helping you." Jack packs his suitcase, and looks at his Son, as Zach watches on, as Jack walks out the door, as Zach screams in anger, and breaks a lamp in a fit of rage, as he walks into the kitchen, and grabs a liquor bottle, and pours it on the floor, as he holds a cigarette lighter.
Meanwhile at The President's Room, Jenny meets with Phillip, as they share a drink, and Phillip asks Jenny "So you've decided to give the Estate back to Jack?" Jenny tells him "There's a stipulation in the deed regarding Zach, but otherwise, Mama's moved out to the Lake, and J.R. and I grew up there." Phillip sighs with sadness "Luke and I lost our childhood home in the riots years ago when Sni-Bar went up in flames." Jenny tells Phillip, changing subjects "So it looks like Mama and Luke's getting close." Phillip laughs "It's purely sex. He's never committed to a relationship before, and I don't think Ann's really interested in anything other than sex, so they have a lot in common." Jenny laughs, as does Phillip, as he tells Jenny "I hate it that you're leaving Loma Vista. I've enjoyed our dates and getting to know you." Jenny looks at Phillip, and sighs "Me too. Best to leave while everything's good, and I need to check on my Daughter, and run the Southeastern division of Thomas Auto." Phillip goes "You could do that from here, and Ann would love to have her Daughter closer." Jenny asks "And my Daughter?" Phillip responds "Didn't you tell me she's going through some things?" Jenny nods, and Phillip tells her "Why don't the two of you move back. She could benefit from family right now, and I miss Lacey, just wish she would move back to town." Jenny asks Phillip "Do you believe in love?" Phillip asks "Why would you ask me that?" Jenny sighs "I stopped believing after my Husband cheated on me." Phillip asks "Who was the mistress?" Jenny responds "I don't know who she was, and don't want to know." Jenny gets up, as she tells Phillip "Time for me to return to J.R.'s and find out what happened at Lorenzo's, and pack." Phillip stops Jenny, and tells her "Wait." Jenny turns, and Phillip looks into Jenny's eyes, as they meet, and they kiss, and Jenny backs away, and silently looks at Phillip, as she tells him "Try it again." Phillip puts his arms around Jenny, as they kiss passionately, as they've fallen for each other.
At Randi's Mansion, Randi storms inside, and slams the door, as she shakes her head with disgust, and snarls "Damnit Elizabeth. How could you do such a thing as to fake your death." Randi walks over to the bar, and pours a shot of tequila, and the door opens, as Tilly walks inside, and Randi yells at her Daughter "So I guess you and Felicia's ecstatic my Sister's returned from the dead?" Tilly tells her Mother "Not again Mom. Aunt Elizabeth had a very good reason for doing what she did.." Randi snarks "She takes after your Grandma. And both of them were always secretive. Elizabeth was always treated like royalty. Perfect marriage, Mama's favorite. Shit, I don't believe this. AND WILLIAM KNEW!" Tilly warns her Mother, as Randi pulls out a glass, and pours another round of tequila "Don't rekindle the war the two of you had. You got what you wanted with the bar, and Aunt Elizabeth is keeping Grandma's legacy alive and intact. Felicia's running Grandpa's stores with Lorenzo, and very successful in that. You should be happy with the outcome." Randi snaps "Everything's just falling apart Tilly. Zach's self-destructing, and once Elizabeth knows, she'll never let me live it down. She just loved to see me fail. She threw a damn party when I sold my half of the casino, and I wouldn't be in the least surprised if she sells a part of it to that damn Lena Houston! If she does, I'll fight her." Tilly tells her Mother "I'm not listening to you rant, and I'm going to bed for the night, so you can sit here and drink, and argue with yourself. I love Aunt Elizabeth, and nothing will ever change that. She helped me out years ago, and I'll always be indebted to her. And yes Mom, she is exactly like Grandma!" Tilly heads to her bedroom, as Randi has a look of disgust in her eyes.
At Barbara's Home, Barbara, Matt, Blake and Sarah return, as Barbara tells her family "I am so happy Elizabeth's alive. Something always felt off about her death." Sarah gets a text from Tilly, as she tells everyone "Apparently my Grandma's not handling it well." Barbara sighs "Well she'll get over it. Randi and Elizabeth has never been exactly close." Matt meanwhile chimes in, as Blake and Sarah heads to their bedroom, as he asks his Mother "So what did Aunt Ann tell you and Aunt Elizabeth?" Barbara sighs "William may have relapsed. If he has, heaven help him." The door opens meanwhile, as Haley returns inside, bruised, and crying, as Matt runs to his Daughter, as does Barbara, as she asks her Granddaughter frantically "What happened? Did you see Zach?" Haley cries "He kidnapped me and took me to Jack's apartment, and.." Matt's eyes fill with anger, as Barbara asks "Did he.." Haley responds in a distant tone "Attempted. Randi came by, and Jack saved my life. He was going to kill me!" Barbara pulls out her pistol, and sternly tells her Son and Granddaughter "I own that damn building, and that piece of shit's about to be carried out in a damn body bag for hurting a member of my family." Matt tells his Mother "I think Lorenzo's planning a meeting tomorrow regarding him." Barbara looks at Haley, and hugs her tightly, and tells her "I'm taking him out. I owe you." Barbara heads to her bedroom, as Matt tells his Daughter "Go take a shower, and don't leave this house without one of us with you." Haley hugs her Father, and heads upstairs, as Matt makes a phone call to his Cousin, and J.R. sitting inside his home, tells Matt after hearing what's occurred "After tomorrow his ass is finished." Matt responds "If my Mama doesn't get to him first."
Meanwhile at Lena's Loft, Lena returns, as Tyrone sits inside, and smokes a blunt, as Lena glares at her Son, and asks him "Didn't I tell your ass not to come back here?" Tyrone laughs "I tried to take care of the family. Teach Little L how to be a man." Lena snaps "You almost had his ass killed Tyrone! Elizabeth's alive, and she's not pleased..." Tyrone shrugs "Shit, I knew she was alive because she threatened me..." Lena gasps "You knew? And you didn't tell me?" Tyrone answers "She threatened me." Lena warns her Son "You can't stay here. I worked too damn hard to get to where I am, and I sense a war about to brew between Randi and Elizabeth, and.." Tyrone yells "Lorenzo called me back to take care of some things. What about redemption?" Lena sighs "Well good luck. I'll let you stay, but you stay clear of Nicole. She has it out for you, and I don't want to bury one of my kids, because Elizabeth has a temper, and if she shot Zach Miller, she'd have no trouble putting you in the river." Lena heads to her bedroom, as Tyrone is silent, and says to himself "Well I won't have any problems with my Sister. Once she learns about what I heard, she will be grateful."
At Ann's Mansion, Ann returns, as Luke watches TV, and Jack sits inside, as Ann asks her Ex-Husband "What are you doing here?" Jack tells Ann "I disowned Zach. He was going to rape Haley." Ann responds "Elizabeth's returned, and I'm glad you have grown brains, now get out, because I've moved on." Jack tells Ann, as he walks out the door "Well Ann, I miss you, and J.R. and Jenny will be pleased, and I'll still have our home we shared together." Ann is silent, as Jack leaves, and Luke tells Ann "He still loves you." Ann looks at Luke, and tells him "He's the least of my worries. William is drinking again. I just checked in, and he was passed out." Luke asks "So no nookie?" Ann tells Luke "Actually, that would be the perfect ending to an otherwise great day." Ann and Luke heads to her bedroom." At Sullivan's River Casino, Phillip and Jenny walks into a hotel room, as Phillip takes off Jenny's clothes, as they make love. At the Bluebird Manor, Felicia lays in her bed, as she goes "I think we may be moving soon since Aunt Elizabeth is alive."

At Randi's Mansion, Randi is passed out, as Tilly looks at her Mother, with sadness, as she turns on the TV, and gasps in horror, as the newsman reads "A fire's been reported in a Downtown Apartment Building owned by Barbara Thomas. Police are suspecting arson." At the Sunset Inn, Zach checks in, as he tells the night manager "Make the tab to Barbara Thomas." The night manager obliges, as Zach gets a room key, and heads to his motel room. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo and Nikki are in bed, as Lorenzo looks over at his Wife, and tells her "Mama's alive, and things are perfect." Nikki holds her Husband, and tells him with content "It is baby. I got you back, and Elizabeth's alive and well." Downstairs, Elizabeth watches the TV, as she calls her Husband to no response, as she grows concerned, and the door opens, and Elizabeth turns, as Lizzie Thomas, Lorenzo and Nikki's Daughter is in shock, as she goes "Mamaw? Am I seeing things?" Elizabeth walks up to her Granddaughter, as tears flow down Lizzie's face, as Elizabeth hugs her Granddaughter, and they have a tearful reunion, as Lizzie's returned from Medical School.
At Jack's Apartment, Zach pulls the tape off Haley's mouth, and asks her "So does this excite you? Haley screams at her Ex-Husband "Just untie me and let me go!" Zach screams "NO!

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."
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."

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.

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.
