Loma Vista: Episode 11. Aftermaths And Aftershocks

  "Lorenzo stands in the living room, as Lorenzo Jr sits wearing his Mother's dress, as Lorenzo grabs his Son, and asks him in an angry, disturbed tone "What the hell's wrong with you Junior? What is this shit?" Lorenzo Jr yells at his Father "Leave me alone!" Lorenzo snaps "Come on out with it!" Nikki runs downstairs, as she sees Lorenzo punch his Son, and Nikki slaps her Husband in the face, as Lorenzo yells at his Wife and Son "Ok. I don't like this, and it's not going on in the house my Grandfather Thomas built! Boy, pack your shit, and get the hell out, and change your name.." Nikki snarls at her Husband "Shut your ass up and accept this Lorenzo Thomas! Don't you dare..."


    A few days have went by, and at Lena's Loft, Lena sits in the living room, as Nikki walks out of the bedroom, and Nikki tells her Mother "I didn't get any sleep." Lena tells her Daughter "Tyrone's gone, and I've done warned him about saying a damn word about my Grandson, soon Granddaughter's decision." Nikki hugs her Mother, and sighs "I miss my Husband though." Lena looks at her Daughter, and assures her "Give him some time to accept this. I know he will once he really understands." At Bannister Tower, in the President's Room, Lorenzo sits, as his Aunt walks towards him, and Scarlet asks her Nephew in a disgusted tone "And what do you want from me?" Lorenzo tells her "I know all about how you make your money, but your Son doesn't, but he will, and I imagine soon, so watch your step." Scarlet snaps "What in the hell is it because I'm here to save Blake's life before you and this Thomas tragedy continues!" Lorenzo pulls out his phone, and asks his Aunt "Want to call Tilly, and tell her you're here? And my Aunt Randi?" Scarlet yells "What!" Lorenzo orders his Aunt "I want to make a purchase, and you will have her at Sullivan's River Casino in two hours." Scarlet goes "I don't carry myself in that tone anymore." Lorenzo laughs "Bullshit!" Scarlet sighs "Keep your damn mouth shut, and are you cheating, another classic trait?" Lorenzo responds "An early birthday present for the namesake." Scarlet pulls out her phone, as Lorenzo pulls out a checkbook. At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo Jr's inside alone, as he packs his things, as he moves out of his Parent's home.
    At Barbara's Home, Barbara sits inside the living room, as Haley sits at the table, and Barbara asks her Granddaughter "And where's your Mama?" Haley tells her "Upstairs Ms.Thomas." Barbara stops her, and goes "It's ok to call me Granny, or anything you'd like Haley. I'm here for you, and will make sure you are taken care of. A Thomas.." Haley smiles "Protects their own." Sandi walks inside, as Barbara asks Haley "Have any plans for today?" Haley goes "Yeah, I'm going to finish my part of the divorce." Sandi tells her Daughter "Destroy his ass baby." Barbara turns towards her Daughter In Law, and snaps "Why don't you remember the address to the last motel you came out of you scheming slut?" Sandi warns her Mother In Law "Not in front of Haley Babs." Barbara slaps Sandi, and yells "My damn home, and Matt's, and understand who's the damn boss girl!" Haley yells "Bye!" as she leaves, and Barbara looks at Sandi, and snaps "Your damn turn, because nobody's allowed here when I'm not here!" Sandi laughs "Time to see my Husband, and may see how the legendary Queen Scarlet.." Barbara yells "Don't ever talk about that." Sandi leaves, as Barbara has a flashback, and goes "And all these years later, you still are."
   At Thomas Holdings, Ann sits inside her office, as William walks inside, and J.R. and Jenny, as Ann tells them "Luke Mason's on the way. I got us some alcohol to celebrate. Jackie will pay dearly." William tells his Sister "I am waiting for those dealerships." J.R. tells his Uncle "We'll be at the top without any competition." William nods "Exactly." Jenny tells her Mother "Mama I'd like to return to the fold again." Ann tells her Daughter "You certainly may my little angel. I have the perfect job for you." The door opens, as Felicia lays files on Ann's desk, and snarks "Here's the bank accounts bitch." Ann asks Felicia "How are you enjoying Daddy sleeping over, and likely sneaking off to Randi's nightstand?" William snaps "Ann!" Felicia tells her Step Mother "You disgust me so much. Go to hell, and J.R., Jenny, the two of you are the spawn of this evil bitch, neither of you can be one of us!" Jenny snaps "Screw yourself Sissy." Ann warns Felicia, as she walks out "Now I'm about to divorce your Father, thanks to you, and your deranged siblings, I can no longer protect your job. I have no damn reason." Felicia warns Ann "I answer to my Cousin Lorenzo, so no Ann, screw you!" Felicia walks out in a fury, as Ann laughs, as she lights a cigarette "They will be shocked to see what I'm about to do. They want their Daddy, and I'm giving him to them with nothing. Nothing."
   Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Randi, Tilly, Sarah, and Blake are at the bar, as Blake tells Sarah "Mom's not to know I'm here. She's been on my ass since returning to town." Tilly warns Blake "The other Thomas I loathe, your Mother." Blake quips "Sort of makes two of us." Randi looks at Blake, and asks him "How much do you know about Scarlet?" Sarah tells her family, holding Blake "She hates me, and she acts like Ann." Randi laughs "Ann is innocent compared to "Queen Scarlet"." Blake asks Randi "Queen Scarlet? I never heard that one before." Tilly motions for her Mother to walk outside onto the marina, and Randi follows her Daughter, as Blake sits inside with Sarah, with confusion in his eyes, as Sarah, in a scared tone, asks Blake "Remember when we talked about my Mom's past?" Blake has a flashback, and goes "The whore of Loma Vista's my Mom?" Sarah sighs "Looks like it. Mom however never speaks of it, nor does Grandma." Blake is silent, as anger begins to show from his eyes. Outside, on the marina, Tilly looks at Randi, and tells her Mother "I know Sarah will reveal the sad reality to Blake. I'm glad I haven't seen her, because if I do, it won't be pretty, and I still have a bullet with her name on it." Randi looks at her Daughter, and reminds her "I wonder if she has reformed herself? She may have Tilly." Tilly responds in a paranoid tone "She knew Blake was with Sarah, and has already busted them at the park, so that bitch knows Sarah's my Daughter, and I highly doubt she's out of the business of selling sex." Randi sighs "Damn, I hope she isn't targeting Sarah." Tilly responds "I wouldn't put a damn thing past her." Sarah walks outside, as she tells her Mother and Grandmother "Blake knows what I know. He's going to confront her." Tilly gets emotional, as she starts to cry, and Sarah asks her Mother "What's wrong?" Tilly holds her Daughter's hand to her chest, and tells her "His Mother cost me Sarah." Sarah asks "What are you eluding to?" Randi responds in a tone of disdain "Tilly worked for Scarlet Thomas at your age, and it wasn't selling makeup." Tilly shakes her head, as Sarah asks in anger "Was Scarlet a Madam?" Tilly motions for Sarah to sit down, and goes "That's just the start." Tilly then tells Sarah something that enrages her, as Sarah runs inside, and grabs her purse, as anger flows inside Sarah, as Randi and Tilly grow concerned for Sarah, as Tilly sighs "I hope she thinks before she acts." Randi assures Tilly "Sarah's smart." Tilly sighs "Too smart, and may be in for too much if she does what I think she's about to do." Outside, Sarah sits inside her car, and looks at a knife, and says to herself "Well Scarlet, your side of the story, nobody messes with my Mother and gets away with it!"
    At Miller Enterprises, Jack sits inside his office, and has a drink, as Luke walks inside, and goes "Jack?" Jack looks at Luke, and asks him "So what's the deal with Ann?" Luke tells Jack in a defeated tone "You are to sign everything to her, except your personal bank account, and with Victor Gray's Money, her Ex.." Jack goes "What does he have to do with this?" Luke warns Jack "Ann has the money, financial backing from her family, and she's not going to change her stand, so she wants it all. She also keeps the house, until she finds out who she may give it to, as she's mentioned moving in the cabin on Lake Pittman." Jack looks at Luke, and sighs "I don't like this shit, and I know what she's about to do. What about my will for my children?" Luke goes "She only saved it for J.R. and Jenny, the others, well she's taking it back, and there's really not much I can do. She has power, and will use it. I dated her at one time between you and Victor back many years ago, and Jack, my golf pal, If Victor was alive, we both know who she'd choose." Jack takes a deep breath, as Luke pulls out his briefcase, and Jack pulls out his pen, with hesitation on his face, and fear.
    At Sullivan's River Casino meanwhile, In the private room, Lorenzo, Tyrone, and Sayyid discuss Lorenzo Jr, as Lorenzo smokes a joint, and tells them "I don't know what to make of this shit. He wants to be a girl? What the.." Sayyid tells Lorenzo "In Adam's Landing, Dr.Evans is my Nephew, and he's gay also, but very much a man." Tyrone asks "Wasn't he the one that fought that family?" Sayyid sighs with pride "He is tough, and honors his family." Lorenzo takes another toke, and sighs "But I need a Son, to follow me. He has my name, a family tradition. It shames my name and I don't support it!" Sayyid is silent, as Tyrone asks his Brother In Law "So did the two of you go take care of my Cousin Zach?" Tyrone and Sayyid nods, "Flashback, strapped to a bed in an ambulance, lays Zach, as they travel down the interstate, as Sayyid drives, and Tyrone sits in the back, swinging his pistol at Zach, and laughing "If you actually died, nobody would give a shit. Here's a shot." Tyrone sticks a syringe into Zach, knocking him out"." Lorenzo tells Sayyid, as he walks to the door "I'm going to speak to Dr.Evans, and find out about my Mother." Sayyid responds "They were close according to him." Lorenzo leaves, as Nikki walks down the hall, and they meet, as Lorenzo asks his Wife "So what are you doing here? Looking for Junior?" Nikki asks her Husband "Please understand Lorenzo! This is not your choice, my choice. It's his, and that's my baby!" Lorenzo sighs "I can't. Sorry." Lorenzo walks past Lena, as he leaves, and Nikki sees her Mother and starts to cry, as Lena hugs her Daughter, and at the end of the hall, Lorenzo watches, also with tears in his eyes.
    At Thomas Auto, Matt sits inside his office, as Sandi walks inside, and sits on her Husband's lap, and asks Matt "I see your Uncle's gone?" Matt nods, and with a kiss, tells his Wife "He is. Are you thinking about you, me, alone in my office with the shades shut?" Sandi takes off Matt's shirt, as he picks his Wife up, putting her on his desk, as passion erupts between the two of them. Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, Haley walks inside Felicia's office, as Felicia takes a shot of vodka, and asks her soon to be Ex Sister In Law "Care to join me? I'll tell you my problem and you tell me yours." Haley walks over, and Felicia pulls out the vodka bottle, and snarls "Ann Miller's here. I wish she'd move to an island, or away." Haley tells Felicia "It's Aunt Ann now for me." Felicia turns to Haley, and goes "What? Sandi finally told you who was your Father?" Haley smiles "She did, and Matt Wilson's one of the nicest people in the Thomas family, and Barbara, well my Grandmother." Felicia sighs "Congratulations. You got the good Thomas besides my Uncle William, the only one that can get along with the wicked old bitch of Loma Vista." Inside Ann's office meanwhile, Ann, William, J.R., and Jenny continues to sit around inside the room, as J.R. asks his Uncle "So I was told by Tyrone Houston that Junior's gay?" William, Ann, and Jenny look at J.R. as William goes "I had a feeling there was a chance. Damn." Ann quips "I can start a chain of nail salons, and that could be his indoctrination." Jenny tells them "He's always been shy." William goes "He's certainly unique." J.R. adds "And here's the kicker, he wants to be a woman." William glares at his Nephew, as Jenny is stunned, and Ann's cigarette falls out of her mouth, to the floor, as she gets under her desk, and gets it, and stands, as she goes "A transsexual? Oh my God! Poor Lorenzo and Nikki." William tells them "Nikki wasn't there yesterday when I went over to visit Lorenzo." J.R. tells his family "I have a hard time with it." Ann goes "I can only bet how Lorenzo's feeling. His Son spitting on family traditions and values. He carries his Father's name, and has a great family, and he wants to do this?" William sighs with disgust "It was Elizabeth's idea to name Lorenzo, and that broke the Thomas tradition, but my Son kept things up, and Nikki's the Daughter I wish I had. She's very private, but in all reality, a great woman who loves Lorenzo, which matters, but I don't think I can support my Grandson. That's something that I can't deal with." Jenny tells them "We just need to accept whatever he decides, we just know one side." William nods, and tells them "And I'm about to do that. I think Lorenzo's home today." William leaves, as Ann looks at her Son and Daughter, and changes subjects, and asks Jenny "So interested in a ranch style estate in Red Bridge?" Jenny quips "And where are you going Mama?" Ann tells them "The lake. I'll live across the road from Randi's Place, the whorehouse sadly." J.R. rolls his eyes, and Jenny is silent, as Ann tells her Daughter "You can be close to your Brother, and bring Nanny's little girl home from college." Jenny reminds her Mother "Mama you know she's studying the same thing you did in college." Ann smiles "Yes she is, cosmetology"
    At Barbara's Home, Scarlet sits inside the living room, as Scarlet drinks coffee with her Oldest Sister, and Barbara tells her "I hate my house guest so damn much." Scarlet asks her Sister "And who is she?" Barbara sighs "Sandi Newman, and just learned I have a Granddaughter." Scarlet smiles, and asks "Who is she?" Barbara tells her "The only other house guest I enjoy, Haley Miller." Scarlet goes "She's been through hell from what I've heard around town since returning.." The door opens, as Blake storms inside, and Scarlet turns to her Son, and asks him "What's your problem? Upset I expect you to be better than to date Sarah?" Barbara sighs "I'm getting out of here." Barbara walks upstairs, as Blake yells at her Mother "So you really are the infamous Queen Scarlet! My Mom, a whore, a madam.." Scarlet slaps her Son, and snaps forcefully "Get something straight Blake! People lie, and so does anyone related to Matilda Miller! I forbid that!" Blake tells his Mother "I'm grown, and Aunt Barbara's been there more than you, so back to wherever you came from Queen Scarlet!" Blake walks out of the door, as Sarah stands at the other side, and walks in, and glares at Scarlet, and asks "So you were the one that was behind my Mom's rape? The one who put her in the place for it to happen? I've seen her cry long enough!" Sarah pulls out her knife, and Scarlet yells at Blake, as he runs inside "See Son, she's just as damn crazy. And Elizabeth was the same way. Poor William." Sarah snaps "Talking about my Grandma's Sister now? No bitch, nobody gets away from it." Sarah is held back by Blake, as Scarlet pulls out her phone, as Barbara runs downstairs, as Scarlet tells her Sister "I'm calling the police department." Sarah yells "Yeah do that you damn whore! Madam Scarlet!" Barbara turns to Scarlet, as Blake tells Sarah "Come on." Blake and Sarah leaves, Scarlet's eyes are filled with anger, as Barbara asks Scarlet "Please tell me you kept your promise?" Scarlet goes "Yes I have, and I am reformed and looking for relationships with my kids. I'm going back to my Motel room, and have a nap. Not going to worry about Blake." Barbara warns Scarlet "He loves her." Scarlet sighs "Whatever makes him happy." Scarlet leaves, and once outside, makes a phone call, and tells the person on the other line "Interested in Blake? I'm about to get control of Loma Vista again with what's in store."
    Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena and Nikki sit together in Lena's office, as Nikki cries with sadness "I hope this isn't the end Mama. I love Lorenzo so much." Lena holds her Daughter, and reminds her "Time Nicole. Give him time." The door opens, as Sayyid walks inside, and Lena hugs him, as Sayyid sighs "I heard about Lorenzo Jr. It's hard, but family's family." Nikki looks at Sayyid, and goes "You go tell that to Lorenzo." Sayyid tells Lena and Nikki "I understand both sides, but Lorenzo is hurt. He feels like he lost a part of his value, and legacy. A son is the prince to a king." Nikki looks at her Mother, and tells Sayyid "He needs to help me, and help our child who's going to be our Daughter." Nikki walks out, as she bumps into Tyrone, as he asks his Sister "How's Little L and his boy toy?" Nikki warns him "When I get reception Tyrone, I will be making a damn phone call to Lexington for you under the name of Mrs. Lorenzo Thomas." Nikki walks away, as Tyrone shakes his head, and says to himself "I'm backing off. She's changed." Meanwhile in the hotel lobby of the casino, Lorenzo meets his Son, and Lorenzo Jr looks at his Father, holding a suitcase, and tells his Father "I am staying here until Nate and I..." Lorenzo puts his hand up, and writes a check, and hands it to his Son, and warns Lorenzo Jr "Don't come around me or your Mama ever again. You are a sick disgrace to the Thomas name. My Mother would be disgusted with your actions.." Lorenzo Jr screams "Damnit!!!" Lorenzo grabs his Son, as Nikki glances over, and runs over, and breaks her family apart, as Nikki asks her Husband "What is wrong with you Lorenzo?" Lorenzo tells his Wife and Son nothing, and walks outside, as Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother "I've got a room booked here, until I can move into Nate's Apartment." Nikki tells him "I am determined to protect you from your Father, and make him see the light." Lorenzo Jr sighs "Screw him if he can't accept this, or anybody else!" Nikki leaves, with sadness in her eyes, as Lorenzo silently stands outside, and gets off the phone, as he tells a girl behind him "Ok. Now do like I said, mislead him. Make him fall into your hands." The prostitute responds "I know how to do this Mr.Thomas. Trust that, and our feelings on Madam Scarlet." Lorenzo laughs "She has it coming too."
    Meanwhile at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, silence fills the home, as William looks around for a moment, and walks out, as nobody's inside. Someone watches, as William leaves to head to Thomas Auto, where inside Matt's office, Matt and Sandi has sex on his desk, and there's a knock at the door. Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Blake and Sarah lay on Sarah's bed, as she asks him "Are you feeling better?" Blake sighs "I'm sick. I don't know what to think anymore. I don't know anything." Sarah kisses Blake, and tells him "No matter what, don't doubt the love I have for you." Blake looks at Sarah, as he touches her face, and they kiss. At the President's Room, Ann, J.R., and Jenny sits in a private area, as they have lunch, when Jack walks inside, and looks at his Wife and goes "You are about to destroy me Ann Thomas Gray." Ann quips "Damn right I am, and I'm going to make sure I get what I deserve, and my kids." J.R. and Jenny are silent, as Jack warns Ann "I am tempted to contest this, here's the papers Ann. I'll pack my..." Ann pulls out a pen, and some paper from her purse, and goes "What's the address of where Randi seduces men?" At Randi's Place, Randi works the bar, as Tilly sits outside, and keeps to herself, as she gets a phone call, and a she smiles for a moment, before she gasps, as she hangs up, as at the Benjamin Lodge, Scarlet sits inside, as Haley hangs up, and stands outside, as inside, Scarlet looks at someone, and tells her "I know some things about Tilly, and Randi, and I want you to get in the picture."

Loma Vista: Episode 10. Coming Out

   At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, the door to Zach's hospital room's locked, as Zach looks at his Cousin in fear, as Lorenzo whispers "Want to say something Zach? I'll let you talk if you promise to tell me the damn truth, or else as I said, I'll finish the job of whomever shot your worthless ass. So tell me who I should send my gratitude to?" Zach's hand reaches towards the side of the bed, as Lorenzo grabs his wrist, and snarls "This is only you, and me, and be thankful you are in this hospital bed with what I'd like to do." Zach yells "Aunt Elizabeth.." Lorenzo snarls angrily "My mama..." Zach, in a scared tone, goes "She shot me, and then showed up here, and tried to finish me..." Lorenzo rips the IVs from Zach, and drags him out of the bed, and grabs Zach's throat, and puts his pistol back inside his mouth, as he goes "My Mama? My deceased sweet Mother did this to you?" Lorenzo is silent, as Zach makes a scream, as Jack's in the hallway, and hears his Son, and Lorenzo warns Zach "Don't EVER bring up my Mama's name up again. And you should consider your options. You owe me, or else, you are dead." Lorenzo walks over to the door, and unlocks it, and walks out, as Jack yells at Lorenzo "What in the hell did you just do to Zach you evil son of a bitch?" Lorenzo tells his Uncle "Zach's hallucinating, I'd recommend calling the crazy house. Have a nice day, and watch yourself." Lorenzo leaves, and Jack rushes inside, as Zach's on the floor, and Jack asks his Son "Did he hurt you?" Zach tries to get out of the floor, but falls, as Jack helps him back into bed, and Zach tells his Father "I need to get out of town Dad." Jack tells his Son "That will be taken care of. And I'll make damn sure Lorenzo or his deranged family doesn't use you for a punching bag again." Meanwhile in Dr.Nolan's office, Lorenzo pulls out his checkbook, and tells Dr.Nolan "Here's a donation to this hospital, but if you fail, I will have the doors locked. And also remember, I hold a seat on the board." Lorenzo walks out, as Dr.Nolan looks at the $1,000,000 check, and says to himself "Reminds me of being an intern in Adam's Landing."
     At Pittman Park, on the banks of Lake Pittman, Blake and Sarah sit on the ground, as Blake holds Sarah in his arms, as Sarah sighs with content "I love the scenery here. It's my version of heaven." Blake asks Sarah "It'd be a special place for a first." Sarah looks at Blake, as she reminds him "I thought we decided to wait for marriage." Blake goes "This spot would be perfect, and nobody's here." Sarah looks at Blake, as their eyes lock, and they kiss, and Sarah takes off Blake's shirt, as Blake undresses Sarah, as passion grows between the two of them, and they begin to make love for the first time. Meanwhile down the road at Randi's Place, Felicia walks inside, as Randi, Tilly, and lawyer Luke Mason are at a table, as Felicia asks her Mother and Sister "Has Mr.Mason told you yet?" Randi looks at Luke, as does Tilly, as Randi asks her Oldest Daughter "We know Haley and Zach are divorcing." Felicia smiles "And so are Daddy and that old bitch. Today was it, he's finally seen the light! Happy hour!" Luke tells Felicia and Tilly "Don't get too excited, Jack didn't call my office first. Ann did, and if I were either of you, I'd prepare him a room, because there's no pre-nup, and I'll have to read the paperwork at my office, but from what my assistant told me, Ann's about to clean him dry." Randi shakes her head, and goes "I warned Jack years ago about getting back together with her. I warned him, but even if they divorce, she'll always be in his orbit, and same for him." Felicia assures her family "I think with what's happened to Zach, Daddy's eyes opened." Tilly yells "About damn time. I'm tempted to go over to that estate and visit her." Felicia looks at her Sister, as Randi warns them "Don't do it girls. You'll play into her hands, and she'll sit back and use it to destroy everything Jack owns, and his family as well that isn't related to her." Luke gets up, as he hands Randi $1,000, and tells her "Here's your money for kicking my ass at pool." Randi smiles, as she holds up a beer "Come back and play another round with me again sometime Luke." Luke leaves, as Felicia and Tilly talk to themselves, and Randi sternly warns her Daughters, as the bartender brings drinks over "Don't either of you go visit that bitch. I mean it." Felicia snarls "I'd love to throw this in her face, and we know lawyers lie." Randi sighs "Remember one thing hot shot, Ann was a Daddy's girl, and she has the upper hand. I don't recall how it all goes, but just listen to me, and leave her alone." Tilly changes subjects, and asks her Mother and Sister "Has either of you heard from Sarah?" Randi asks "Didn't she and Blake go over to Barbara's?" Tilly sighs "They should have returned by now." At the bar, someone listens in, as she pays the bartender, and tells him "Call me and I'll treat you." The bartender accepts, as the woman goes "I'm staying at the Benjamin Lodge." The woman leaves her room number, and phone number and leaves, as she has a thought, and says to herself "How the tides have turned."
    Meanwhile at Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki returns home, as Lorenzo Jr sits in the living room, and cries, as Nikki sits down, and Lorenzo Jr cries "I'm scared Mom. Tyrone's going to rat me out to Daddy. He will kill me!" Nikki reminds her Son "No he won't! If he does, there's a room waiting for him in Lexington State Prison." Lorenzo Jr cries "Why can't people understand?" Nikki holds her Son in her arms, and tells him gently "My Mama supports you and Lizzie, and I'm sure some of the family will as well. It's time you do come out. Eventually Lorenzo's going to know about this." Lorenzo Jr sighs "What if I run away?" Nikki snaps "Stop that shit! You are working your ass into a damn frenzy, and trust me! I got your back baby. And I know Mama tore into your Uncle down there at the casino, and when she tears into you, that's scary enough." Lorenzo Jr "If Mamaw was here, it'd be easier." Nikki sighs "I know, but she isn't, so you have to trust me with your Daddy." Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother "I'm going to my room and have some time to myself." Lorenzo Jr hugs his Mother, as Nikki assures her Son "I promise you everything will be ok." Lorenzo Jr walks upstairs feeling doubt, as Nikki takes a deep breath, and says to herself "I hope I'm right."
    At Thomas Auto Headquarters, Matt sits inside his Uncle's office, as William looks over sales, and tells his Nephew "You and J.R. are doing damn good at running things. I'm ready to make one of you CEO." Matt tells him "Uncle William, I don't want that much power. And this is yours, and you should consider your Grandson." William sighs "He's not into this, and Lorenzo is very smart, but he has his hands full." Matt changes subjects, as he asks his Uncle "How's everything with Aunt Ann?" William tells Matt "When I left, she was feeling better, and she's in charge, so that always makes her happy." Matt laughs "Nothing will keep her from coming out on top." William tells his Nephew "She's already wanting to clean Jack's bank account, and same for Miller Enterprises, and it could pay off for me." Matt is confused for a moment, as he asks "How exactly could it work out for you?" William reminds him "Jack's my rival, and Ann isn't interested in car dealerships. She's interested in your Papaw's company, and after that divorce, her diamond throne will have some gold added to it. I expect her to be a very happy woman, and hell, she's earned it. Jack's a bastard, and don't forget, I may have mellowed with Elizabeth passing away, but when it comes to Jack Miller, I don't mind helping dry his damn well." Matt gets a page, as he tells his Uncle "Keep me informed and may want to let Lorenzo know. It'd make his day." William nods, as he opens his desk, and pulls out a map, a he laughs "I'll be the largest car dealer in the United States when that divorce's finalized. Jack you are screwed." In Matt's office, Matt walks inside, and is stunned, as Sandi, and Haley are inside, and Matt's in shock, as Sandi tells Matt "You haven't changed one bit." Matt looks at Haley, and goes "Congratulations on the divorce from Zach's worthless ass." Sandi tells Matt "I heard he got stomped by you, and the family. Thank you for defending our Daughter." Haley's eyes widen, as does Matt's, as Matt asks Sandi "What? Haley Miller's my Daughter?" Sandi tells him "Look at her Matt, and look at this." Sandi pulls an envelope from her purse, as Matt opens it, and starts to cry, as he looks at Haley, and Haley looks at her Mother, and Matt, as she asks them "What in the hell are the two of you hiding?" Matt tells Haley "I'm your Dad, and I'm the ONLY man your Mom's ever loved." Sandi nods, as she walks over to Matt, and kisses him, and tells their Daughter "And I never signed our divorce papers, so I hope it doesn't disappoint Babs." Matt and Sandi holds each other, as Matt tells his Wife "I have missed you Sandi Wilson." Haley looks at them, as she yells "I'm a Thomas?" I'm related to the Thomas family Mom? Sandi turns around, and smiles "Oh yes Haley, and now it's time Barbara learns she has a Granddaughter." Matt warns Sandi "Remember that threat?" Sandi laughs "She's old now, and she wouldn't hurt me." Matt sighs "Mama keeps her word, but knowing this, maybe, she will lighten up." Haley walks out in tears, as Sandi tells her Husband "I'm going to visit Babs." Sandi walks out, as Matt yells "Wait!" Outside on the sales floor, Haley yells at her Mother "How could you keep this from me all these years?" Sandi puts her arm around her Daughter, and sighs "I had to. But it's safe now." Sandi and Haley walks out, as Matt sits in his office, and calls his Mother, as Barbara's phone goes to voicemail, and Matt tells his Mother "I hope you're not home Mama."
   At The President's Room, J.R. and Jenny are at the bar, as Jenny asks her Brother "Do you think it was wise leaving Mama by herself." J.R. quips "She's happy now. She's about to be free from this hell she's been in the past 20 some years with Dad." Jenny goes "And he can turn his attention to the family he ever really gave a shit about anyway." J.R. sighs "Well Sissy, Victor was the one who was a real Father to us. He and Mama couldn't have kids, and he always treated us better than Dad." Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's estate, Barbara stands in the living room, as movers pack up Jack's belongings, as Ann asks her Sister "Want to have a toast to independence Barbara?" Barbara quips "Really prepping to as you say dry the well?" A mover walks up to Ann, and asks "Mrs.Miller where do you want us to take Mr.Miller's things?" Ann smiles, and goes "After the divorce is settled, I'll be Ms.Gray, and let's start off with calling me that. And oh yeah, pull that picture down from the wall and the one next to it." Barbara looks at her Sister, as the mover pulls down Jack and Ann's portrait, and a photo of Felicia, Tilly, and Zach, as Ann motions for the photo, and smashes the frame, and tells her Sister "Now I want to rid Thomas Holdings of any connections to Randi's family of whores and cokeheads." Barbara sighs "That will be up to Lorenzo. He thinks the world of Felicia. She does a great job running Duncan's, and.." Ann snaps "I could do much better, and hell, her poor Daddy will need all the support he can get with what I have in mind." Barbara checks her phone, as she tells Ann "Leave Felicia alone, and let her run Mr.Duncan's business. He was Lorenzo's Papaw also, and Elizabeth's Father." Ann quips "If Elizabeth was here, she'd back me." Barbara tells Ann "Now that I see you are happy, I'm returning home. Don't get carried away prissy." Ann yells, as Barbara leaves "And call my hairstylist for a color job. It's on me!" Ann walks into Jack's study, as she unlocks a safe, and pulls some files out, as she laughs "Jackie, how screwed you are, and your three bastards, and that whore Randi."
   Meanwhile down at Randi's Place, Felicia, Tilly, and Randi have toasts to the future, as Randi laughs with a buzz "Ann's about to get her long overdue payback." Tilly meanwhile changes subjects, as she calls her Daughter, and the phone goes to voicemail, as Felicia's phone rings, as it's Haley, and Felicia answers, and Haley tells her "I need to talk to you. I'm at the manor." Felicia looks at her Mother and Sister, and tells them "Haley's back home, something's wrong." Randi asks "Do I need to go with you?" Felicia tells them "I'll handle this, and the two of you be safe." Felicia rushes out, as Tilly tells her Mother, as she calls Blake's phone, and it too goes to voicemail "I have a feeling they're doing what I did years ago Mom." Randi yells at the bartender "Two straight vodkas." Tilly asks Randi "Is it time I let Sarah know the truth?" Randi goes "It has nothing to do with Ann, or J.R., so you may want to warn Sarah." At Pittman Park, on a grassy knoll, Blake and Sarah are naked, as they hold each other, and Sarah tells Blake "That was wonderful. I love you so much Blake." Blake kisses Sarah, and tells her "I love you too Sarah Blair. You are the only woman I ever want." Meanwhile a car pulls up, as Blake and Sarah grows nervous, and covers themselves with a blanket, as Scarlet Thomas, Blake's Mother gets out of her car, and looks at her Son, and Sarah, and goes "Blake Walton! What in the hell have you done?" Blake looks towards the lake, as Scarlet glares at Sarah, and tells her Son "This shit's about to be over. Tonight! Barbara's! Now put your damn clothes on!" Scarlet throws Blake and Sarah's clothes to them, as she walks back to her car, and drives off, as Blake has a look of dread in his eyes, as does Sarah." At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Jack listens, as Zach tells his Father of what happened, and Jack assures his Son "Lorenzo won't be back here again. And don't fear his family." Dr.Nolan and another doctor walks inside, along with three nurses, as Dr.Nolan tells his staff "Send him to the psychiatric ward." As Zach's strapped to the bed, Jack asks Dr.Nolan "What in the hell is going on?" Dr.Nolan tells Jack "Your Son's being transferred, and his drug rehab can begin. No visitors allowed, so you need to leave." Jack yells "I'm going nowhere." Dr.Nolan warns him "Either leave, or I'll call security to escort you." As Zach screams, the other doctor sedates him, and knocks Zach out, as Jack walks out of the room with anger in his eyes, as he snarls "This has that son of a bitch's name written all over it!" At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo Jr sits in his bedroom, as he tries on one of Nikki's dresses, as Nikki tells her Son "You'll look better in a dress when you get your operation." Lorenzo Jr sighs "I feel comfortable in this Mom." Nikki warns him "If your Father was to see you, I don't think you'd feel that way." At Lena's Loft, Lorenzo smokes a blunt with his Brother In Law, as Tyrone tells him "So you don't notice nothing off with Little L?" Lorenzo takes a toke, and goes "Actually, I do. He's nothing like me." Tyrone tells his Brother In Law "He's gay Lorenzo. Your Son's gay, and he wants to have a sex change." Lorenzo coughs, as his eyes widen, and Tyrone asks "Are you ok?" Lorenzo tells Tyrone "Don't worry about your Sister, I got this shit under control." Lorenzo storms out." Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Barbara sits in the living room, and has a glass of red wine, and reads a book, as the doorbell rings, and Barbara walks up to the door, as Sandi stands on the other side, as she smiles, and goes "Well we meet again Babs." Barbara slaps Sandi, and snaps "What in the hell are you doing here? Didn't I tell you a long damn time ago never to return?" Sandi laughs "I'm still your Daughter In Law, and oh, by the way, you should go see your Granddaughter. She's been through hell." Barbara asks "Granddaughter? What are you talking about?" Sandi tells Barbara "Haley Miller's Matt's Daughter, and he knows, and we're back together so deal with it old lady!" Sandi walks away, as Barbara picks up a small vase, and throws it across the room, as she screams in rage. At Thomas Auto, Matt walks into William's office, as William looks at the envelope, and tells his Nephew "Oh shit Matt. I always had a feeling she was yours." Matt's phone rings, as he answers, and William takes a deep breath, as he hears Barbara scream at her Son "Get your ass over here NOW before I lose my damn temper." Barbara hangs up, and William tells his Nephew "You know where to find me." As Zach's on the elevator, being carried to the Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside's Psychiatric Ward, at Sullivan's River Casino, a limo pulls up, and the driver gets out, and grabs luggage, as he opens the back door, and someone gets out, and hands the driver a tip, as he thanks the person, as they walk into the Hotel, with sunglasses, and a red hat on, as they tell the front desk "The Private Suite upstairs." The Hotel Clerk asks "Are you..." The person takes off the sunglasses, and hands the clerk a roll of $100 bills, and goes "Don't tell anybody I'm here if you know what's best for you."

Loma Vista: Episode 9. Tension

   At Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann has the attention of her Husband, Son, and Daughter, as Ann shoots the pistol into the ceiling, and Jack yells at his Wife "Put the damn gun away and give up this act Ann!" J.R. and Jenny glare at their Father, as Ann asks Jack "Do you think this is an act Jackie? It isn't. Next bullet will be on me!" J.R. yells at his Father in anger "I think you need to get the hell out of here. If you want a divorce, you'll be divorcing all of us!" Jack tells his Son "I don't have time for this, and I'm going back to the Hospital to check on Zach." As Jack opens the door to leave, William walks inside, as he sees his Sister shaken, and holding the pistol, and runs to her, as Jack asks his Brother In Law "William did you shoot Zach? I know you have a past with Senior's dirty work. Hell you trained J.R." William and Jenny stands with Ann, as she hands the pistol to her Brother, and J.R. asks "I thought you had something important to do you son of a bitch?" Jack responds "Yeah, and it isn't sitting here watching Ann throw a damn tantrum!" Jack warns William "If you shot Zach, I'll press charges personally." William goes "I hope the bastard dies after the shit he has pulled!" Jack leaves, and Ann tells her family "If he wants a damn divorce, he'll get one, but he won't like it one damn bit." William asks "Going to dry the well Ann?" Ann looks at her children, and tells them "He forgets that I own a percentage of Miller Enterprises, and my name's on the bank accounts, and if he wants to move on, he will be doing so with nothing." William holds his Sister, as Ann cries, and J.R. and Jenny fumes with anger towards their Father.
    At Ernest's Kitchen, at Sullivan's River Casino, Nate arrives, as he sits next to Lorenzo Jr, as Lena looks at her Grandson's friend, and is quiet, as the waitress walks over, and asks Lena "What will it be Ms.Houston?" Everyone orders, and Lena tells the waitress "Put it on my tab." Nikki rolls her eyes and goes "Mama, you don't..." Lena, in a sweet tone tells her Daughter "Shut up. I'm paying for lunch." Lena turns her attention towards Lorenzo Jr and Nate, as Lena asks Nate "So where do you work?" Nate responds "Here Ms.Houston. I run the front desk in the Hotel." Lena sighs "Never checked that area out, although I know someone at this table that has." Nikki quips "Maybe that's how I know you Nate." Lorenzo Jr tells his Mother and Grandmother "TMI! TMI!" Lena tells Nate "I think you will need more money if you want a relationship with my Little L." Nate tells her "I'm going to college in the fall." Lena nods in approval, as Lorenzo Jr is quiet, as is Nate, as Lena goes "Well isn't this exciting? So how does a same sex relationship exactly work? Who's the man? Who's the woman?" Nikki looks over at her Mother, as Lorenzo Jr looks at Nate, and Nate responds "I think I would be the male." Lena responds "Figures. Little L is very vane. I think I used him as a test doll too often as a baby, him wearing my wigs. Want to see pictures?" Nate nods, as Lorenzo Jr grows comfortable, and Lena looks at her Grandson, and tells him "Remember who to thank when you make your decision, and I'll buy your first weave." Nikki laughs, and tells her Son "See Junior, I told you my Mama would support you." Lorenzo Jr and Nate look through Lena's photo album, as Lena looks at her Daughter, and tells Nikki "He's happy, and that's all I want." Nikki sees a text on her phone from Lorenzo, and goes "Me too Mama."
   Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Matt arrives, as Barbara hugs her Son, and tells him "Takeout should be here shortly." Blake walks downstairs, and Barbara tells her Nephew "I called Sarah and invited her over." Matt looks at his Cousin, and quips "Mama's going to get nosy. She did this with my first Wife." Blake pleads with his Aunt "Please don't embarrass me Aunt Barbara." Barbara assures Blake "I like Sarah. She should be here in a few minutes." As Barbara sets the table, she tells her Son and Nephew "I am worried about y'all's Aunt. Jenny told me she's on the bottle again." Matt asks "Jack spending too much time in Randi's orbit?" Barbara sighs "Ann is so sensitive, and she's been going through a lot lately. Poor thing, I really want to help her, but.." Matt finishes his Mother's sentence, and goes "She'd tell you to stay the hell out of her business." Barbara nods, and adds "William's going to try and help. He's close with Ann." Blake asks his Aunt "So why is Ann so hellbent on attacking Sarah's family? I don't understand it." There's a knock at the door, and Barbara tells Blake "My Sister with whiskey and a mere mention or thought of Randi equals a fight. Runs in the family." As Blake heads to the door, Matt laughs "That was Mamaw Thomas also." Barbara goes "Don't forget me now Matt, I've had my times also." Sarah meanwhile walks inside, as she hugs Blake, and asks "Is that bitch here?" Barbara greets Sarah with a hug, and tells her "Ann isn't here. She doesn't make visits to this house. One more favor, don't call my Sister a bitch in my home sweetie. I understand how you and your family feels about her, but call her bitch outside of my hearing distance." Sarah looks at Blake, as Matt answers the door, as chinese food arrives, and everyone sits, and Barbara tells all "No talk of Ann. Let's enjoy this meal from the Pagoda."
    At Thomas Holdings, Haley has left, and Felicia knocks on the door of Lorenzo's office, and opens the door, as he isn't inside, and Felicia leaves some files on her Cousin's desk, as Sayyid walks inside, and Felicia asks him "Where's Lorenzo?" Sayyid responds "I don't know. I left my briefcase here." Sayyid grabs his briefcase, as Felicia warns him "I know what the three of you were likely talking about earlier, and I just want you to know that I will send your ass, and Tyrone's ass back to Lexington if you even try and kill my Brother." Sayyid looks at Felicia, and sighs with an calm, calculated tone "He will kill himself. I pray for the infidel to die for his sins. If I get to do that honor, well as my beloved Sister used to say "Do an old heart some good." Sayyid walks out, as Felicia makes a phone call to Tilly, as she's at Randi's Place, and asks her Sister "Where's Mom?" Tilly tells Felicia "She's shooting pool right now with Mr.Mason. She's currently winning." Felicia rolls her eyes, and quips "Pool shark strikes again." Tilly tells her Sister "It's getting busy, and it's just me doing the work. Talk later." Tilly hangs up, as Felicia bumps into Ben, as he tells Felicia "I just came to your office, you weren't there, and look what I got. Haley Miller's phone number. I'm going to call her." Felicia looks at Ben, and tells him "The last thing she needs right now is you." Ben laughs "I already called, and we're having dinner tonight." Ben heads to his office, as Felicia walks to the elevator, and rolls her eyes with disgust.
    Back at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann sits down in the living room, and smokes a cigarette, as William sits by his Sister's side, along with J.R. and Jenny, as Ann tells them "Jackie may think he's going to throw stones, but I got a damn boulder waiting for him." J.R. asks his Mother "Are you ok with a divorce Mama?" Ann looks over at her children, and in a calm tone, with a smirk quips "He loses it all, and he has no idea what I have in store for him." William tells his Niece and Nephew "Jack's always been a smug son of a bitch. Had that "I'm better than you" kind of attitude." Jenny meanwhile asks "Well who shot Zach? I think someone in this room did it." Ann reminds her Daughter "If I'd done it, his ass would be dead." William responds "I know how to kill someone, and with Zach, I'd broke his neck." J.R. sighs "I just stomped his ass into submission." Jenny has a thought, and asks "What if it was Randi?" Ann looks at her Daughter, and William looks at his Niece, as Ann tells Jenny "That will be one hell of a dilemma for Jackie if, or she did." Ann is silent, as a smile comes across her face, and looks around the room, as William tells his Sister "You are plotting." Ann laughs "Oh yes I am Big Brother, she had motive, and she has a temper, and her children are products of her bad parenting. I'm setting their asses up."
    At the law office of attorney Luke Mason, Haley walks out of the paralegal's office, as Jack sits in the waiting area, and tells him "I'm divorcing Zach." Jack sighs "Haley, I am sorry that's how it ends." Haley tells her Father In Law "I can't take the shit anymore. I'm done." A woman walks in, as Jack turns, as Haley tells Jack "Meet my Mom, Sandi Newman." Sandi looks Jack up and down, as she asks "Here to get divorce papers?" Jack sighs "Yes I am." Sandi looks at Jack, and tells him "Give that piece of shit Son of yours a message from his Mother In Law, he screwed up, and I am watching." Sandi and Haley walks out, as Jack watches Sandi, as the paralegal tells Jack "Mrs.Miller's already called, and she's filed the papers. Here they are." Jack walks out, as he returns to Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, as he calls Felicia, as she sits inside her office, and answers, as Jack tells his Daughter "Ann and I are filing for divorce." Meanwhile at Sullivan's River Casino, Lena, Nikki, Lorenzo Jr, and Nate walks inside her office, as Tyrone sits inside, and asks his Nephew "Who's the white friend you're holding hands with?" Lena and Nikki both turn to each other, as Lorenzo Jr boldly tells his Uncle "Nate's my boyfriend." Tyrone looks at his Nephew, and snarls "And I disown you. No wonder Lorenzo isn't proud of you. You're gay." Lena slaps her Son, as Lorenzo Jr and Nate walks out, as they grows nervous, as back inside, Nikki warns her Brother "If you give my Son any hell Tyrone Houston, you will answer to me, and if you dare tell Lorenzo, hope your bitch at Lexington hasn't moved on yet!" Nikki also slaps Tyrone, and walks out, as Lena tells her Son "Straighten your ass up." Tyrone quips "I'm already straight, but apparently Nikki corrupted that kid too damn much, a damn sissy." Lena glares at Tyrone, and warns him "He's family boy, and don't you forget THAT!" Meanwhile at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Dr.Nolan's inside Zach's room, as Zach tells him "I swear she was in here and she threatened to kill me." Dr.Nolan tells Zach "I think you are having withdrawals, and hallucinations." Zach screams "I'm serious! She's trying to kill me!" Dr.Nolan tells the nurse "Sedate him." The nurse gives Zach a pill, as she walks out behind Dr.Nolan, as Zach spits out the pill, and looks around the room in a paranoid state, as Lorenzo walks in, and locks the door behind him, as he pulls out his pistol, and Zach is silent, as Lorenzo sticks the pistol inside Zach's mouth, and whispers "Make one move you piece of shit, and your brains will be all over this damn room, and whoever shot you, I'll complete it."

Loma Vista: Episode 8. Securities

   It's the next morning in Loma Vista, and at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Zach sleeps, as Jack is awaken, as his Daughter, Jenny stands inside the room, and Jack hugs his Oldest Daughter, as he tells her "Welcome home. How's things in at the offices in Noland?" Jenny tells her Father "Just fine Dad, now let's have a talk outside." Jack asks his Daughter "Want to speak to Zach? I'll wake him." Jenny glares at her Youngest Brother, as she walks outside, and Jack follows, and tells her "Ann told me you were here last night." Jenny tells her Father "I am seeing something I'm not liking. She's drinking again. She can't handle much. Aunt Elizabeth passing away, to Victor, who was a real Father, to J.R. and I's Grandparents, you need to tend to Mama. She's lonely." Jack tells Jenny, taking a deep breath "She knows how I feel about all my children.." Jenny tells him "Well, I'm going to visit Aunt Barbara, and you just be lucky I have a relationship with you, or J.R." Jenny leaves, and Jack walks into Zach's room, and calls his Wife, as Ann's phone sits in the living room of their Estate, and silence.
   At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo Jr walks downstairs, as Nikki's in the living room, and tells her Son "Lorenzo's left for the office. So it's safe to be yourself." Lorenzo Jr breathes a sigh of relief, and sits down, as Nikki tells him "Let's you, me, Nate, and your Grandma have lunch today? It'll be safe, just us. She's open-minded, and I think she can tell anyway, but hasn't changed her attitude." Lorenzo Jr responds in a scared tone "I'm not fond she's with a legendary hitman, and his number one fan's her child, and I'd say favorite." Nikki tells him with frustration "Tyrone's my Brother, and the Houstons are always together." Lorenzo Jr gets his phone to call Nate, and heads to his bedroom, as Nikki sends her Mother a text, and Lena responds from her office at Sullivan's River Casino "I'm ready."
  Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Randi, Tilly, and Sarah sits at the bar, as Sarah makes each of them a drink, and Sarah tells her Mother and Grandmother "That was sweet what Lorenzo did for us." Randi tells them "I will always hold him in high regard after his gesture. It was a move of a Duncan, and my Daddy and Mama, and Elizabeth are smiling down right now." Tilly sighs with a smile "He has always been close to us, except for Zach." Sarah asks "Sibling rivalry since they are close in age?" Randi nods, and tells her Granddaughter "And their Grandma would normally antagonize it, she enjoyed it, did it to disturb Daddy. He'd then further spoil them. And Elizabeth, well I won't discuss that." Randi laughs, and Tilly asks her Mother "Speaking of Zach, any word from Daddy on his condition?" Randi goes "He's wake, and sleeping." Sarah shakes her head, and tells them "I will never forgive him for this." Ann walks inside, as she's overheard them for a few moments, and yells "Well I'll be damn if one of Randi's spawns grown brains!" Randi asks Ann in a disgusted tone "What in the hell do you want? You are the last person I want to see. If you shot him.." Ann laughs, as she sits, and tells Sarah "Whiskey." looks at Randi and Tilly, and laughs "You owe me now whores." Tilly angrily yells "What in the hell did you just call me you old withered up bitch?" Ann slaps Tilly across the bar, and Randi yells at Ann "Go someplace else before I have your ass arrested!" Tilly yells at Ann "You are fortunate I have standards." Ann quips "The Randi standards are to seduce men, break up homes, destroy the man's kids, and then raise a piece of shit to rob her Sister's, and her Husbands family." Sarah pours the Whiskey on Ann's fur coat, and Ann slaps Sarah forcefully, and another fight erupts, as Tilly loses her temper, and Randi follows suit, as Tilly pushes Ann, and Ann punches Tilly in the face, and pushes Randi onto a chair, as J.R. and Blake walks inside, as Sarah stands back, and rushes over and breaks up the fight, as J.R. looks at his Cousin, and tells him "Take your Aunt Ann back home." Ann yells "Jackie's back with this whoring damn tramp! And her damn spawns just think they are all that matters. The hell it ain't! Not as long as I am Mrs. Jack Miller!" Blake looks at Sarah, as both sadly take a sigh of sadness, and Blake escorts his Aunt out, as her Son helps. Inside, Tilly screams "I DAMN HATE HER!" Randi sighs with disgust "Hypocritical bitch."
    Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office, and tells someone on the other line "I love that. Send me the blueprints so I can find a site to build." Felicia walks inside, and hugs her Cousin, as he asks "What was that for?" Felicia responds with pride "Helping my Mom, and my Sister. Thank you." Lorenzo responds "No thanks needed." Felicia asks Lorenzo "What's your plan?" Lorenzo responds "He will pay me for everyone's losses, and then I'll invest it, and share among the ones he screwed over, or he can be dinner for the fish in Lake Pittman. It's his decision." Felicia tells Lorenzo "Don't start thinking like that. There's other ways besides William Thomas Sr's methods of payment." Lorenzo looks at Felicia, and screams "My Mother is DEAD! And that sorry ass Brother of yours extorted her, and he will regret it with each breathe the bastard takes! I don't give a shit about him, and I wish he was dead." Felicia is shocked, and notices the seriousness in her Cousin's eyes, and calmly reminds Lorenzo "He will live with it. Please don't go after him. For my Mom?" Lorenzo asks Felicia "Aren't you supposed to be meeting with Ben over those new Duncan's locations for our expansion?" Felicia walks out, shaking her head, as Lorenzo sits back, and says to himself "Whoever shot him, I want to thank in person." Felicia meanwhile stands at the elevator, as Ben walks up, and tells Felicia "Hate to hear about Zach." Felicia sighs "Yeah." The doors to the elevator opens, as Sayyid and Tyrone walks off, and Felicia has a look of fear in her eyes, as she watches Sayyid and Tyrone walk inside Lorenzo's office.
    Meanwhile at Barbara's Home, Jenny catches up with her Aunt, as they discuss Ann, and Barbara tells Jenny "Ann has always been that way. And she's not going to change, and has never gotten over Jack's affair with Randi." Jenny goes "Hell, Mama won! But she is killing herself worrying about Dad and Randi being together, and with that Bastard she had in the hospital, and Dad's not even noticing anything off with her." Barbara looks at Jenny, and tells her Niece "Sweetie, I think the man she really loved, was Victor. Jack was just her Plan B." Jenny sighs "She did go crazy when Victor was murdered." Barbara sits back, as she drinks coffee, and tells Jenny "I really don't keep in great touch with Ann. If you want more answers, talk to William. The one who'd really be able to help isn't here." Jenny sighs with sadness "Aunt Elizabeth and Mama were close." Barbara nods, and tells Jenny with sadness "Elizabeth was the only person Ann confided in. They were Sisters. Her death has hit Ann very hard as well." Jenny gets a text from her Brother, as Jenny looks at her Aunt, and tells her "Mama's just gotten into another brawl with Randi, and Tilly and Sarah were involved. Before I leave, could I ask you something?" Barbara nods, and Jenny pleads to her Aunt with urgency "You are the oldest of Mama's siblings. Could you try to talk to her, and help her?" Barbara hugs her Niece, and tells her with defeat in her voice "Ann's never listened to me, and she never will. You and J.R. will have to be the two to do the work, but I am here." Jenny leaves for Jack and Ann's Estate, as Barbara grows concern, and calls William, who sits in his office at the Thomas Auto Headquarters, as Barbara tells her Brother "We're going to have to help Ann before she destroys herself. Jenny just came by and..." William takes a deep breath, and tells his Sister "I'll try to talk to Jack." Barbara tells him "That's her problem. Jack."
    Back at Randi's Place, Randi, Tilly, and Sarah stands behind the bar, as customers arrive, and Tilly puts an ice pack on her face, as Sarah asks her Mother "How's your eye Mom?" Randi sighs with disgust "Ann has it coming. Today was it! I plan to handle her ass, and put her in her place!" Sarah looks at her Grandmother, and tells her "Please just relax. Remember karma?" Randi goes "Sometimes you have to play the role Sarah, and I intend to do that. She just crossed the line." Tilly tells them "Dad knows, and he's on his way home. Apparently J.R. and Jenny are worried she's losing it." Randi quips "She already has! The day I walked in on her seducing Jack after Victor's murder!" Sarah asks "Wasn't Grandpa and Ann together first.." Randi looks at Sarah, and boldly tells her Granddaughter "I don't give a damn about ancient history. Nobody hits my children unless it's me!" Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, J.R. walks into the living room, as Ann stands at the bar, and pours a glass of whiskey, and J.R. tells his Mother "Put the bottle down Mama. Dad's on his way here, and so is Jenny. Let's work this all out. He's not sleeping with Randi. But he does piss me off with his loyalty to Zach." Ann yells at her Son "Jack Miller Jr, if you believe the bullshit, then you are a real dumbass!" J.R. warns his Mother, as Ann takes a drink "Put down the glass." Ann takes another drink, and J.R. throws the whiskey bottle across the living room, as he yells "STOP MAMA!" Ann breaks down, and looks at her Son, and J.R. holds her, as Ann sobs uncontrollably, as Jack walks inside, and glares at his Wife, with anger.
    Meanwhile Nikki and Lorenzo Jr have arrived at Sullivan's River Casino in a restaurant called "Ernest's Kitchen, founded by Elizabeth, where Lena sits, and Lena gets up to hug her Grandson, with a nervous look on her face, as Nikki looks at them, as Lena asks her Daughter and Grandson "Where's Nate?" Lorenzo Jr tells his Grandmother "He's on his way." Lena is quiet, as Lorenzo Jr asks his Grandmother "So you really support me, and my choice Grandma?" Lena is silent, as Nikki holds her Son's hand, and Lena touches Lorenzo Jr's face, and tells him "You are my Grandbaby. Somebody has to keep you in check since Elizabeth isn't here to do it." At Thomas Holdings, Haley arrives inside Felicia's office, as Felicia and Ben are looking over the plans for a new store concept for Duncan's, as Felicia asks her Sister In Law "Are you ready to visit Zach?" Haley tells Felicia "I think I'm going to need Luke Mason's help with a divorce. I've had enough of it." Felicia looks over at Ben, as he goes "Well Haley, call me.." Felicia yells at Ben "Go to your damn office you horny bastard!" Ben walks out, as Felicia asks Haley "I thought you were giving him another chance?" Haley sighs "I've had it Felicia. I'm not going to take his abuse, or anybody else's." Felicia hugs Haley, and tells her "If you want to divorce my Brother, you have my support." Upstairs, inside Lorenzo's office, Lorenzo and Tyrone smokes a blunt together, as Sayyid looks out of the window, and tells them "Zach has many people going after him. Nothing would surprise me. I know I didn't shoot him, though he needed it." Lorenzo looks at his Brother In Law, as Tyrone passes the blunt to him, and Lorenzo takes a deep toke, and tells Tyrone and Sayyid in a calm tone "If he doesn't pay me. He will die." Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, Jenny returns, as Jack asks his Wife, as J.R., and Jenny stands by their Mother, as Ann is crying "Did you shoot Zach? If you did Ann, we're over. This is the last straw." Ann looks at her Husband, and walks up to him slowly, and tells him "What if I did Jackie? What if I did shoot him? If I did, he'd already be in a coffin." Jack grows furious, as he yells "I can't take this anymore. Either accept things, or we're done damnit!" J.R. yells at his Father "Don't yell at my Mama!" Jack yells at his Son "Your Brother was beaten by you, and the thugs that helped you. I'm sick of the shit! I want a divorce." Jenny tells her Father "If you do this, forget me, and my children." Ann walks over to the cabinet, and pulls out a pistol, and tells Jack, as Jenny and J.R. grow scared "If you want me gone Jackie, just say the word." Jack is silent, as Ann holds the pistol, and tells her children in a slurred tone "You heard him. He wants me gone." Jack watches his Wife, as Ann aims the gun at herself, and sighs "Where better than where my broken heart beats." J.R. and Jenny glare at their Father, as Ann turns off the safety, and a shot's fired! At Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Zach wakes up, as he's groggy, and looks up, as he goes "What are you doing here?" The person pulls out a syringe, and tells Zach "Time to finish your ass off."

Loma Vista: Episode 7. The Mystery Of Vengeance

   As evening arrives in Loma Vista, at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, in the Lake Pittman area, Zach's in a bed, as Jack stands by his Son's bedside, and sends a text to his Wife, which goes unanswered. Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah arrives, as Jack asks his Daughters and Granddaughter "So do you think this was the works of the Thomas family? I know Zach really screwed up, but there were no need in this." Felicia and Tilly asks their Father "What has the doctor told you?" Sarah walks out of the room, as she's shaken, and Randi is standing outside, as Sarah hugs her Grandmother, and Randi asks her Granddaughter "How bad is it?" Sarah goes "Grandpa, Mom, and Aunt Felicia's inside." Randi sits down, as she tells Sarah in a confused tone "I want to go in there and feel bad for him, but I can't do that. He deserved what he got after that shit he pulled on us. And poor Haley, she's such a sweet girl, and my Son did everything to her that was undeserved. My Daddy never hit my Mother, and neither Jack, or Clint ever hit me. Sarah, I am ashamed of him." Sarah looks at her Grandmother, as a Doctor walks by, and whispers "Go in there Grandma." Randi hugs Sarah, and walks inside, as Dr. Martin Nolan looks around the room, and asks Zach's family "Where's Mrs.Miller?" Felicia and Tilly responds "Us?" Dr.Nolan shakes his head, and tells them "His Wife." Felicia tells him "She's at my home. She couldn't come down here." Dr.Nolan reads the chart, and quips "I could see why. I think if he wanted to get high he should have stuck to the cannabis." Jack yells "Who cares! How's my Son?" Randi is silent, as she's comforted by her Daughters, and doesn't look at Zach, as he's unconcious, and Dr.Nolan tells everyone "He has a concussion, and he's lost a lot of blood. We need to prep him for surgery, and remove the bullet. He's damn lucky." Dr.Nolan walks out, as Jack, Felicia, and Tilly, walks over to Zach, and sadness shows in their eyes, as Tilly asks "Who shot him?" Jack tells his Daughters "I don't know girls. But we'll find out." Randi meanwhile walks out of the room, shaken, and full of emotions, as Sarah sits in the waiting area, and Randi tells her Granddaughter "He's having surgery, and I'm going to finish packing my things at the bar thanks to that bastard." Randi stands at the elevator, as Jack, Felicia, and Tilly walks out of Zach's room, and yells for her, and Randi ignores them, as she gets on the elevator, and Tilly warns her family "I hate this for Zach, but he has broken Mom I fear." Jack takes a deep breath, as he hugs Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah, and tells them "This is too much for Miranda. Elizabeth, and seeing Zach.." Sarah sighs "She said she feels he deserved it." Jack responds "In a way, he did Sarah. He did."
   At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Nikki sits in the living room, with Lorenzo Jr and Nate, as Nikki tells her Son "Now three people know the truth Junior." Nate laughs at Lorenzo Jr "I may start calling you that." Lorenzo Jr rolls his eyes, as he asks his Mother "And how do you feel about this Mom?" Nikki looks at her Son, and tells him "I've known for awhile. But what's with the makeup and all that sort of stuff?" Lorenzo goes "What's the problem with a man wearing makeup Mom?" Nikki tells Nate "Nice to meet you, but I want to talk to my Son. We'll meet again." Lorenzo Jr grows nervous, as Nate looks at Lorenzo Jr, and leaves, as Nikki tells her Son "I know you are gay Junior. I've also been keeping up with you on FaceSpace also, and have you considered how your Daddy's going to react if he finds out." Lorenzo Jr asks his Mother "Are you going to out me?" Nikki tells her Son in a gentle tone "Elizabeth told me your secret Junior. And you are my little boy no matter what happens, or what your Daddy will think, nor anyone else. Just know this, the odds for you are going to be harder than you think." Lorenzo Jr looks at his Mother, and asks "What if I want to be a girl?" Nikki asks "And? If you want to be a girl, then I'll have another Daughter, but don't use LaNikki, that name sounds like a stripper's name." Lorenzo Jr holds his Mother's hand, and tells her with tears "I want to become a woman. I don't like being a man, and I've always felt this way." Nikki looks at Lorenzo Jr, and wipes his tears, and assures him "I will support you. But you'll have to be patient with me before we tell Lorenzo." Lorenzo Jr sighs "He'll hate me. He may kill me.." Nikki sighs "Stop that talk. Remember who he fears? Me." Nikki tells her Son "Go upstairs, and let me figure this out, and how we'll break this to him." Lorenzo Jr hugs his Mother, and Nikki tells him "I love you, no matter who you are, and you'll always be my child." Lorenzo Jr goes to his bedroom, as Nikki sits on the couch, and says to herself "Oh hell's about to break loose. I can feel it." Meanwhile at Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits inside his office at gets off the phone, as he looks at his Mother's photo on his desk "That son of a bitch's going to be paying for the rest of his life." Lorenzo turns out the lights, as he leaves.
    Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann and Jenny sit together and catch up, as J.R. arrives and J.R. sees his Sister, and hugs her, as Ann looks at her children, and tells them "My babies are here with Mama. Only if your Daddy would get out of the whore's orbit and come to see his first two children." J.R. asks his Mother "He didn't call you?" Ann asks "Why would he call me if he's been in Randi's orbit? Those three brats are likely holding him hostage, and trying to reunite him with the slut of Loma Vista." Jenny sighs "Mama, I see your stance towards Randi hasn't changed." Ann, who's got a buzz, pours a glass of whiskey, and yells "Why hell yes I do hate that bitch! When she was old enough to drive, she destroyed my damn marriage! I don't forget, and I never forgive! Unless my blood's running through you." J.R. tells his Mother "Zach was shot, and in surgery. Dad found him after the beating." Jenny asks her Mother "So I see little's changed?" Ann pulls out some glasses, and asks "And who wants to celebrate this occasion?" J.R. asks his Mother "Did you lose your temper and shoot Zach?" Ann snaps at her Son "Hell no! Let his cocaine man do that job. And Jackie best not be trying to bed Randi over this!" J.R. tells his Mother "Well Mama, she's not happy with him at all, and actually left the hospital." Ann's eyes widen, as she laughs "Your shittin me? She left the little bastard? Wow." Jenny tells her Brother "Mama wouldn't hurt anybody." Jenny looks at Ann, as Ann sighs "I make exceptions Jenny." Jenny looks at her Brother, as there's a knock at the door, and Ann tells Jenny "Answer the door." Jenny answers, as it's William, and William hugs his Niece, and asks 'When did you arrive in town?" Jenny tells her Uncle "When Mama called me. I'm sorry about Aunt Elizabeth. I can't believe what Zach did to her, and his family." Ann slurs "Want a drink William? I'm having a toast in honor of Zach Miller's possible demise. Someone shot that piece of shit." William isn't shocked, and responds "He's pissed a lot of people off. Had it coming." Ann asks her Brother "Did you turn into Daddy and shoot him?" William goes "I didn't. Did you Ann?" J.R. and Jenny stands back, as Jenny asks her Brother "So Mama and Uncle William are still spatting after all these years?" J.R. quips "You should see her with Aunt Barbara." Jenny laughs, as William sits down, and Jenny and her Uncle begins to catch up, as Ann sends Jack a text, texting "Jenny's here." Ann's text goes unanswered, as Ann lights a cigarette, and fumes.
   At Barbara's Home, Barbara sits in her den, as she has a glass of red wine, as Matt and Blake sits on the couch, and Matt asks his Mother "Are you heading over to see Jenny?" Barbara quips "I've been around Ann enough for one day. I'll be seeing her soon." Matt tells his Mother "Well I'm heading home. Been a long day." Barbara hugs her Son, as Matt leaves, and Blake gets a text from Sarah, and tells his Aunt "Zach's been scheduled for surgery." Barbara goes "Surgery? I thought Matt, J.R., Lena's Son, and that Sayyid Ross just delivered a beating?" Blake tells her "Someone shot him." Barbara looks at her Nephew, and asks him "Do you want to go be with Sarah?" Blake is quiet, as he tells her "I hate hospitals." Barbara whispers "It'd be nice for Sarah to see you right now." Blake tells his Aunt "Well if you say so." Barbara tells Blake "Offer my well wishes to Jack and Randi, and Felicia and Tilly for me." Blake nods, as he leaves, and Barbara's phone rings, as it's the youngest of the Thomas siblings, Scarlet, who lives in the Southeast, and Scarlet asks her Sister "How's Blake doing? I heard he's now in the business, and I'm not very damn happy about it!" Barbara assures her Sister "He's in love." Scarlet asks "Really? With who?" Barbara goes "Randi Camden's Granddaughter." Scarlet sighs "Oh shit!" Scarlet hangs up, as Barbara has a look of dread in her eyes, as she has a flashback, and says to herself "I shouldn't had told her." Barbara heads to her bedroom, as she calls it a night.
   Back at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Jack, Felicia, and Tilly are inside Zach's room, as the nurses carry him to the operating room, as Jack looks at his Daughters, and tells them "One of you need to be with Miranda. She needs one of you right now." Felicia texts Haley, and doesn't get a response, as Felicia tells them "I hope she's resting. Poor girl's been through hell." Sarah meanwhile walks inside, as she asks "What did the doctor tell you?" Tilly tells her Daughter "He's got a concussion, and as his doctor said to us, damn lucky to be breathing after being shot?" Jack asks Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah "So which one of you are going to check on Miranda? I'll stay here and keep you updated." Felicia turns to Tilly and Sarah, as Sarah tells them "She's at the bar packing up." Felicia tells them "I want to check on Haley, and I'll keep my phone on." Jack quips "And that would be a first." Tilly tells Sarah "Let's go down to the bar, and help Mom." Jack hugs his Daughter, and Granddaughter, as Tilly and Sarah walks out, and heads to Randi's Place. Felicia looks at her Father, as she notices him getting emotional, and asks "Would you like it if I stayed with you? You don't need to be by yourself." Jack holds his Daughter tightly, as he cries "Where did I mess up Felicia?" Felicia says to herself in her mind "Reuniting with Ann." Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Randi packs up her personal belongings, and comes across a photo of a photo of Zach, and angrily walks out, onto the marina, and throws the picture into Lake Pittman, and screams with rage, as she walks back inside, as the President of Loma Vista National Bank stands inside, and Randi angrily asks "And what in the hell do you want? Tell me I can't take my things?" The President tells her "I'm meeting the new owner, and since you're here, perfect timing." Randi asks "Who is it?" The President goes "I can't say, just that they want you here. Fix us a drink." Randi asks "I thought I couldn't?" The President of Loma Vista National Bank tells Randi "It's alright Ms.Camden. Randi walks behind the bar, and pulls out a few beers, as they await the new owner.
    At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lena arrives, as Nikki sits in the living room, and Nikki asks her Mother "Where's Sayyid and Tyrone?" Lena quips "You told me not to bring them Nicole. What's up?" Nikki motions her Mother to the couch, as Lena tells her Daughter "I was about to have a great evening planned before your call, so stop being shy." Nikki tells her Mother "I'm not being shy Mama. I needed to talk to you, and don't say a damn word to anybody and I mean it!" Lena asks "What's wrong baby girl? Lorenzo? Little L? Are you sleeping around? Lorenzo.." Nikki sighs "No! But the second name is the subject." Lena goes "He confessed didn't he?" Nikki tells her Mother "Lorenzo Jr's got some issues." Lena goes "No shit. He's gay." Nikki tells her Mother "Not just that, he wants to become a woman." Lena's eyes widen, as she's blown away, and asks her Daughter in a serious tone "Do you approve?" Nikki tells her "He's my Son Mama. This has been bothering him, and he told Lizzie, and Elizabeth was the one who told me in our last conversation. He's going to need support, and I plan to be there for him." Lena tells Nikki, holding her hand "In my day, these things were taboo. I was raised to not support this." Nikki tells her Mother "He's your Grandson, and he'll need you! When Lorenzo learns of this, he'll lose his mind." Lena quips "I think you've lost yours Nicole. Hook him up with a black girl, a hot black girl, matter of fact, I'll give him a room at the Casino Hotel, and he and her can sex it up." Nikki takes her Mother into the kitchen, and snaps "He's already in love, and I need support myself Mama! And you always told me not to turn my back on family. Like when your Mother walked out on you." Lena warns Nikki "Don't take me down that road." Nikki tells her "I am having a hard time accepting it, but I still support him. He's my Son." Lena looks at Nikki, and sighs "You're right. And I will keep this to myself, and support him. The mere thought just.." Nikki hugs her Mother, as Lena tells her Daughter in a gentle tone "Little L will have my support, and just give me some time to process this. But don't say nothing to Tyrone and Sayyid. Tyrone will flip, and Sayyid's a muslim, and.." Nikki quips "And do you know if you marry a muslim, you have to convert.." Lena quickly tells Nikki "We've already made vows not to marry. We just want to be with each other, and he's excellent in bed." Nikki tells her Mother "Go home and get busy." Lena hugs her Daughter, and tells her "Let's have lunch tomorrow at the Casino, and bring my Grandson." Lena leaves, as Nikki gets a text from Lorenzo, and reads it, and heads upstairs for the evening, as she says to herself "I pray he doesn't find out unless it comes from me."
   As night's fallen, at Loma Vista Hospital at Lakeside, Jack and Felicia sits inside the waiting area, as Dr.Nolan walks inside, and tells them "The surgery was successful, and he's asleep now. But I'm expecting a full recovery, but he could have some amnesia due to the concussion." Jack asks Dr.Nolan "Amnesia?" Dr.Nolan nods, and asks "So I see where you were planning to have him go into rehab?" Felicia nods, and Dr.Nolan tells them "I know of a place in Adam's Landing that'd be perfect. The Allan James rehab clinic. Founded by the woman who taught me everything I know in medicine." Jack asks "Dr.Beth Jackson?" Dr.Nolan sighs with sadness "One incredible Doctor. The best." Felicia tells Dr.Nolan "My Aunt was seeing her, and then stopped, but never gave any explanation." Dr.Nolan sighs "Dr.Jackson passed away a month ago. May explain some of it." Felicia tells him "Aunt Elizabeth and her became friends." Dr.Nolan smiles "A good woman as long as you didn't make her angry,or she'd tear you to shreds. She was dedicated to her craft. Well I'm going home, and here's my number if you have any questions." Dr.Nolan hands Felicia his card, as he leaves, and Felicia looks at her Father, as she asks him "Do you want to go home Daddy?" Jack tells his Daughter "I think I will stay here. You go look after Haley." Felicia hugs her Father, as she heads home for the night, as Jack cries for his Son, and says to himself " I think it's time to make some changes."
   Meanwhile at Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann, Jenny, and William talk, as Jenny asks "Where's Daddy?" William tells his Niece "Most likely at the Hospital." Ann slurs "He's likely keeping Randi's bed warm. Damn whore." Ann asks William "Care to go check things out and be my mole?" William tells Ann "Go to bed, and stay here! Hell if you get out on the road, they'll give your ass a DUI after all that whiskey!" Jenny tells her Mother "Listen to Uncle William Mama." Ann hugs her Daughter, and tells her Brother "Well I have the aspirin on the nightstand. I'll pay the bastard a go to hell visit in the morning." Ann heads to her bedroom, as Jenny looks at her Uncle, and tells him "I'm worried about Mama. Does she drink like this often?" William responds "Only if Jack and Randi are together. We both know how she works." Jenny looks towards her Mother and Father's bedroom, with sadness in her eyes, as she texts J.R., and tells her Brother "Dad needs to make a decision once and for all." J.R., at his home down the street, responds "Hell yes he does!" At The BlueBird Manor, Haley sits inside the living room, with an ice-pack to her face, as she gets a text, that reads "I'm in town. Meet me tomorrow." Haley has a thought, and heads to the room she's staying in, as she's staying with Felicia. Meanwhile at Randi's Place, Tilly arrives, as Randi sits inside with the President of Loma Vista National Bank, and Randi asks her Daughter "And how is he?" Tilly responds "He survived surgery, and Dr.Hottie informed her and Daddy of a good place to send him to clean up." Randi asks "And where's Sarah?" Tilly goes "Back home, Blake's with her." Randi is silent, as she hands Tilly a beer, and tells her "The new owner should be here any moment." Meanwhile at Randi's Mansion, Sarah and Blake lays on her bed, as he asks her "Have you ever made love before?" Sarah goes "No." Blake responds "Neither have I. And nobody's here." Sarah looks at Blake, and they look at each other, as Blake begins to undress Sarah, and Blake gets a text from Barbara, and Sarah tells Blake "Let's wait before going all the way." Blake sighs "Ok." Back at Randi's Place, The President of Loma Vista National Bank hangs up the phone, and tells Randi and Tilly "The new owner's here." Lorenzo walks inside, along with Ben, as Randi and Tilly are floored, and Lorenzo hugs his Aunt, and Cousin, and tells them "Here's your deed, and there's only one stipulation in there, which should be alright with both of you." Randi and Tilly reads on, and Randi hugs her Nephew with tears in her eyes, and asks him "Do I owe you anything? I'd never expected this from you." Lorenzo looks at Randi, and Tilly, as he tells them "I've restored both of your bank accounts, and Zach now owes me." Tilly asks her Cousin "And exactly what do you mean by that Lorenzo?" Lorenzo tells them "He'll be paying all of us back for what he's done. And Ben will be monitoring things for me." Randi and Tilly hugs their Nephew, as Lorenzo tells his Aunt "Don't worry about a thing Aunt Randi." Randi cries "Thank you so much. Thank you." Tilly hugs Lorenzo, and tells him "You are a good man. Just like our Papaw." Lorenzo smiles "Family takes care of family Tilly. It's how it works." Lorenzo, Ben, and The President of Loma Vista National Bank heads out, as Randi and Tilly hugs each other, as tears of joy stream from their eyes.

Loma Vista: Episode 6. The First Strike

   At Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo, Nikki, Lena, Barbara, Ann, and William sits inside the private lounge, as they talk quietly, with a sense of calm, as each has their phones on their laps. Lorenzo tells his family "I would love to have them bring Zach into my office, and I'd kick him in the face, no I'd murder him." Barbara sighs with relief "I am just scared thinking of what's going on, with that man." Ann responds "I like him, and he seems honest." William agrees, as Lorenzo tells his Wife, Father, Aunts, and Mother In Law "He's been hired to do the dirty work. He's a legend, and he has quite the history, he mentioned he's looking at writing his life story." Nikki tells her Mother "I like him. Go for it." Lena hugs her Daughter, as she tells her in a peaceful tone "Thank you baby girl." At Zach and Haley's home, Zach, Haley, Jack, Randi, Felicia, Tilly, Sarah, and the Interventionist ducks in fear, a few seconds later Zach, and everyone gets up slowly, after Sayyid's warning shot." Randi speaks in a scary tone "I think Lorenzo's family has ordered your death." The door opens, as Sayyid, Matt, J.R. and Tyrone walk inside, and Sayyid fires another shot into the ceiling, and tells his Nephew "Get him." Sayyid orders Matt and J.R. "Hold him on the ground." Sayyid asks Zach "So where's that money you owe me for the coke white boy? You are quiet. You know what happens to little punk asses like you." Sayyid jumps on Zach's back, and punches him in the head, as Haley, Randi, Jack, Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah, all watch helplessly as Zach is kicked and stomped by Sayyid, J.R., Matt, and Tyrone, as Blake walks inside, and Sarah looks for him, with sadness.
  At The Gallery, Lorenzo Jr sits in a corner, as some walks up to him, and goes "Surprise." Lorenzo Jr sees his friend, Nate Easton, as he hugs him tightly, and Nate asks his friend "So you're serious about telling them?" Lorenzo sighs "I do, but scared." Nate tells him "I'll have your back." Lorenzo Jr looks at Nate, and smiles, as he tells him "I also have to get my trust fund too." Nate asks "How will you do that?" Lorenzo Jr sighs "I don't know, but maybe my family will help. Mom and Daddy." Nate sighs "Lorenzo Thomas Jr, you are the Son of the most powerful man in Loma Vista, and his namesake, do you think honestly he will accept you?" Lorenzo Jr responds with fear "Yes. He wants me to be a man, and do as he and his family does. I don't want to kill anything, and I am ready to be happy." Nate looks at Lorenzo Jr, and grabs his hand, and holds it, and tells him "It'll happen Lorenzo, or I mean LaNikki." Lorenzo Jr laughs "Names are still under consideration at this point."
   Back at Zach and Haley's home, Sayyid yells at Zach's family "Don't be freaking out! Zach owes me money for his habit. He's been fronted, and hasn't paid up, this is what will happen to one that screws me over." Zach's held up by Matt, and J.R. and yells at his family, as Jack, Randi, Haley, Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah watch on in horror, and Felicia sighs to her Brother "I don't feel sorry for you. This is what happens." The Interventionist meanwhile has left, and Jack tells Sayyid "Let us deal with him. He's my Son." Sayyid knees Zach in the stomach, and snarls hatefully "You hear Daddy? Do you? Look at your family you piece of shit!" Blood drops from Zach's mouth, as he is silent, and Sayyid tells Zach's family "This is a warning, next time, he won't see it coming." Matt, J.R., and Tyrone drops Zach to the floor, and stomps him, as does Sayyid, and they walk out, with AK-47s in hand, as they leave, and Jack tells his Son "It's Rehab or jail Zach." Zach pulls out his pistol and snarls at his family, as Randi screams "If you don't leave my house right now, I will kill you. I have no problems with it with all you cost me." Felicia screams at her Brother with anger in her eyes "Cost you? No Zach, you hurt all the people that loves you, and you have a choice, it's us, or cocaine, and mark my words, if our Mom has any problems with this knowing she's in mourning, and thanks to the shit you've pulled, heartbroken!" Randi looks around the room, as she's comforted by Haley, Felicia, Tilly, and Sarah, and Jack tells his Son "Let's go!" Zach shoots the pistol in the air, and everyone walks out, as Zach screams "Screw all of you! I win! Ha!" Outside, Jack looks at his Ex-Wife, and Daughters, Daughter In Law, and Granddaughter, as Blake stands next to Sarah, as he tells them "Let him hit rock bottom, meanwhile everyone will get back what's rightfully theirs." All agree, and Haley's invited by Jack to stay with him, with Haley declines, and Felicia offers her a room, which Haley accepts, as Randi vows to everyone "I do know one thing, he will never be able to gain back my love after this. I disown the damn thief." Tilly sides with her Mother, as does Sarah, while Jack tells everyone with urgency "This is the only way to save him." They agree to disagree, yet all agree to set charges. And they head off, as Zach stands in his living room, and makes a phone call.
    At Sullivan's River Casino, Lorenzo, Nikki, and Lena remain, as everyone else has left, and Sayyid walks inside, with Tyrone, who's hugged by his Mother and Sister, as Lorenzo tells Sayyid "Excellent work." Sayyid laughs "His ass didn't know what got him, but he's woke the hell up." Tyrone beams with joy "That felt great!" Lena warns her Son "What did I tell you on the way back from Lexington?" Tyrone holds his Mom, as Nikki tells them "Elizabeth was the sweetest woman I knew besides my Mom, and it's a shame her own damn nephew would try to steal from her after she died." Lorenzo sits, as he's silent, and Nikki looks at  her Husband, and tells him, as he stares into space "What are you thinking about Lorenzo? I know that look." Lorenzo gets up, and hugs his Wife, and Mother In Law, as he tells everyone "I need to head over to the tower and look over some work. I'll see you home baby." Lorenzo leaves, as Lena tells her Daughter "Why am I getting the feeling he's not going to Bannister Tower?" Nikki tells everyone "When he just leaves like this, that means one thing. He's about to visit Zach." Sayyid quips "His weak ass won't be able to accept visitors after the beating he just got." Nikki responds "I think he's looking for more." Nikki heads home, as Lena, Tyrone, and Sayyid sit inside Lena's office, as she asks them "Who's up for the buffet?"
    Meanwhile William has returned to Thomas Auto, as Matt and J.R. walks inside William's office, as William explodes at his Nephews "I want that son of a bitch dead! I am really tempted to go over there, and introduce him to my rifle." Matt and J.R. reassures their Uncle "If he makes another mistake, he'll be dead." William sits, and coldly tells them "He deserves to be dead after the shit's he done to my family, and if Elizabeth was here, she'd killed him cold." Matt goes "Aunt Elizabeth wouldn't ever kill anyone Uncle William." William asks "Are you so positive? She slept with two butcher knives under her mattress, and had a collection of pistols. William shares a story with Matt and J.R., as they are all stunned, as William tells them "Elizabeth was the one person who scared me besides my Mama. Elizabeth had her ways about her when she was screwed over. That's why she and Ann got along so well, the two of them thought alike, but Elizabeth was a better actress."
   At Randi's Mansion, Randi, Tilly, and Sarah, are inside the living room, as Blake looks out of the window, with pistol in hand, as Sarah tells him "I don't think he will be around here Blake. Put the gun away." Randi yells with rage "If he comes by here, I'm going to take him out. Mother's insurance." Tilly walks over to her Mother, and holds her, as Randi's distraught, and cries "I feel blindsided. My little boy, who would destroy the people who loves him for his own benefits. What did I do wrong? Did I make a mistake meeting Clint?" Tilly, and Sarah comforts her, as Blake yells "Aunt Barbara's pulled up." Randi, Tilly, and Sarah are silent, as the doorbell rings, and Blake open the door, as Barbara hugs her Nephew, and turns to Sarah, and smiles "So you are the girl I've heard so much about?" Blake sighs with shyness "Aunt Barbara." Randi asks Barbara "So were you involved with Zach's beating?" Barbara walks over to Randi, and tells her "After what he did, he had it coming." Randi wipes the tears from her eyes, as she looks at Barbara, as Randi goes "I never liked the dark side of the Thomas family, but my Son earned what happened. I have always believed in karma." Barbara hugs Randi, and tells her "If you need us, don't hesitate to reach out Randi." Tilly tells Barbara "I wish Ann could have been more like you." Barbara sighs "Ann lives on a cloud, with a throne in the middle made of diamonds, and I prefer standing on the ground myself." Everyone laughs briefly, as Barbara walks over to Sarah, and tells her in a gentle tone "Let's have dinner sometime. I'd love to get to know you, and I am a partial vegan myself, so nothing to worry about." Blake rolls his eyes, as Sarah accepts, and Barbara tells Blake, with pride "You have a good eye for finding a good woman. She's a keeper." Barbara heads home, as Sarah asks Blake "I thought you said she didn't like me." Blake sighs with shyness "With my unpredictable family, you never know what you'll get." For a moment, the mood lightens inside Randi's Mansion.
    At Lorenzo and Nikki's Mansion, Lorenzo Jr and Nate sits on the couch, as Nate holds Lorenzo Jr, as Nate asks "When are your parents returning?" Lorenzo Jr looks at Nate, and holds his hand, and tells him "I don't really care. You're here." Lorenzo Jr and Nate looks at each other in the eyes deeply, and their lips touch, as they kiss, and the door opens, as Lorenzo Jr and Nate pulls away from each other, as Nikki stands at the door, in silence over what she has seen. At The BlueBird Manor, Haley sits inside the den, as Felicia returns, and tells her Sister In Law "I went to get my work to bring home." Haley hugs her Sister In Law, and cries, as she tells Felicia "I don't know what happened with him." Felicia sighs with sadness "He's got a problem that only he can fix himself Haley, and he will have to live with his choice." At Jack and Ann's Estate, Ann walks inside, as she yells "Jackie!" Ann says to herself "His car's gone. Likely tending to his Son who deserves to die. I'll pour myself a nice, strong drink, and sit back and relax." Ann sits down, as her doorbell rings, as Ann sighs "Oh shit. Hope it isn't anyone related to poor weak Randi." Ann opens the door, and tears comes to her eyes, as Ann is silent, and goes "Jenny?" Jenny Miller Douglas, Ann's Youngest of two children, is embraced with a hug, as Ann cries to her Daughter "I'm glad you're home my little girl." Jenny assures her Mother "After your call, I was on the road, and don't worry about anything Mama." At Randi's Mansion, Randi, Tilly, Sarah, and Blake sits in the living room, as Randi gets off the phone with Felicia, and tells everyone "Haley's comfortable." Tilly tells her Mother "I hope Zach gets his shit together." Randi walks outside, as Sarah looks towards her Grandmother with sadness, as she sighs "She looks so lost." Tilly fumes "Zach will have to do a lot of work to be back in the fold again honey." Blake's phone rings, as he tells them "I've been called to meet with Uncle William." Sarah and Tilly hugs Blake, and Tilly tells Blake "Tell Uncle William to come over here this evening when you see him." Blake nods, as he heads to Thomas Auto's Headquarters." In town Lorenzo pulls up at a red light, as he is silent, and has a look of content in his eyes, as he looks up, and says with a tear in his eye "I'll make damn sure Zach pays as long as he breathes Mama." At Zach and Haley's home, Jack sees a car pull out of the driveway, as anger grows, and Jack pulls into the driveway, and unlocks the door, and sees Zach on the ground in a pool of blood, and screams "ZACH!"
 
 

Loma Vista: Episode 5. The Gatherings

   At Thomas Holdings, Lorenzo sits at his desk, and lights a joint, as his Father, and Aunts are inside, as Barbara looks at Ann, and tells her "I think sometimes you may not be a fake blonde." Ann looks at Barbara, and goes in a snarky tone "Granny!" William looks at Lorenzo, as Lorenzo puts out his joint, and hugs his Father, and asks his Aunts "Want to go meet Sayyid? Family reunion."
