It's the next morning in Sullivan, and at Hall Manor, Anna awakens, as Jeff sits in the kitchen, as she asks "Did you sleep well son?" Jeff nods, and goes "Gram left early this morning." Anna rolls her eyes, as she asks her Son "Did she tell you where?" Jeff tells his Mother "She did not. But, she stayed up very late." Anna sighs "She's up to something. I may be the one she lets in, but when she works alone and with my Daddy being gone to stop her.." Jeff sighs "I hope Adam's not a snake like Ed." Anna assures "He's not, and don't forget what we discussed last night." Jeff replies "Will do Mom.", as he gets up and hugs her as he heads down to Hall Enterprises. Anna stands in the kitchen, as she has a thought, and quips "I know what it is.. I hope." At the Sullivan Police Department, Ella argues with the jailer "Why can I not bail Trisha out? What's the deal because do you not know who I am?" Jailer, in a disrespectful tone answers "A washed up news anchor." Natalie walks inside, as Ella asks her Mother "What's going on? Trisha called me this morning..." Natalie goes "Go back home and leave her to me." Ella answers "No, I won't Mama. I know you have it out for her and I'm going nowhere." Natalie coldly tells her Daughter "Don't ask me for pity then if you get your feelings hurt. This is playing right in my hands." Natalie walks into the visitation area, as Ella follows with fear in her eyes.
At Park Lane Medical Center, Elizabeth sits in the bed in her room, as Elsie walks in and brings coffee for them as Tom grumbles "I didn't sleep worth a damn." Elsie snaps "Well I haven't slept asshole!" Elizabeth asks "Is Mom coming down here?" Elsie responds "Hopefully not because the Doctor's gonna release you." Elizabeth begins to suffer a panic attack, as Tom motions Elsie to walk outside, as she follows and Tom tells his Wife "Elsie, Danny's got to get out of our house. You seen it too and you agree." Elsie answers "Yes I do, but how do we make it happen without calling Chief?" Tom tells his Wife "Call Chief and tell him to come down here." At Smallwood Farm, Danny awakens, as Fancy asks her Brother "Are you alive?" Danny snarls "What the hell are you doing here and where is Karen?" Fancy quips "Karen is resting, and I am babysitting the house while Mama and Daddy's with Elizabeth." Danny laughs "That little whore had it coming. I tried to stop her from that lifestyle.." Fancy angrily goes "You did not and shut up with the lie you sorry son of a bitch! You've put her through more hell than she ever deserved!" Danny yells back "Look who pretends she doesn't have demons. Does Lacey know the truth?" Fancy slaps her Brother, and snarls "I wish you'd been left beaten in the road, and left for dead. If I ever find you like that, you will be." Danny boldly yells "Get out of my house! I run this place, and Mama and Daddy said.." Karen wakes up, as Bo walks in and grabs Danny, pulling his knife out, and warns him "If I ever see you put your hands on my Wife again Danny, I'll kill you and feed you to the fish in Indian Point Lake!" Danny grows quiet, as Bo tells his Wife "Time to change shifts." They hug, as Danny asks "The two of you think I'd rape my own Daughter?" Fancy answers "You fit the part." Fancy leaves, as Bo tells Danny "One wrong move and you'll be dead." Danny looks at his Brother In Law, as Karen walks inside and Danny tells his Wife "Time to go make some money." Danny leaves, as Karen sighs with relief "Thank god."
Meanwhile at the Village Inn, Adam and Courtney recount the evening before, as he tells her "That was quite a moment this morning." Courtney reassures him "And nothing happened. We both were trashed!" Ford walks inside, as he walks over and asks Courtney "Where have you been?" Adam and Ford glare at each other, as Ford asks Courtney "Do you know who you're having breakfast with?" Courtney reminds Ford "You and I aren't dating." Adam tells his Brother "How about you get lost." Ford gets angry, and yells "You are the one who's out for something. And both of my Grandmothers are enjoying every damn second. You are really a con-artist." Courtney snaps in defense of Adam "You need to back the hell off Ford! He's been through worse than you could ever imagine!" Ford asks Adam "So tell me your story?" Adam gets up, and tells Courtney "I have things to do,", and leaves as Ford warns "I do not want you to be anywhere around that bastard." Courtney answers in a blistering slap across Ford's face, as she walks out and says "See you at the University today and don't talk to me."
At Thayer's, Ed and Janet has breakfast together, as Janet laughs "My pitiful excuse of a husband went to babysit his Brother today or whatever the degenerates ask." Ed asks "So you already told Paul huh? But then again, he's busy. Its your time." Janet nods in agreement, as she quips "Caroline likely will be at the office today." Ed sighs with dread "My nephew Jeff returns today. I'm going to see if he'll come to my side of things. But he does follow whatever Natalie tells him." Janet grabs his hand, and goes with a smile "Soon we'll be the power couple of Sullivan." They toast, as they say "To the future." At Broward Inc, Lacey arrives as Caroline greets her, going "Paul is home. Today you're my secretary." Lacey moans with dread "Great, and I know.. you call the shots." Caroline snaps "Watch your tone trash. Don't tempt me to fire you!" Lacey responds in a snarky tone "I only answer to Paul." Caroline gets up from her Son's desk, and asks "Now is that so? Well whore, you should know something. I hate you. I hate your Mother, who ranks right there with my Daughter In Law in the tramp department. Your family has caused me nothing but pain. Seeing you face, enrages me more than you could imagine." And if your family and you died at once, I'd celebrate!" Lacey slaps Caroline across the face, and storms out, as Caroline sits back down, and reads files, as she sighs "Good to get that off my chest." Outside at Lacey's desk, Lacey calls her Mother, in tears. Fancy, driving towards The Mansion, quickly makes a detour, and tells her Daughter "I'm about to be there shortly!"
At the Sullivan Police Department, Robert walks past, as Ella stops him and asks "What is my Mama holding over you?" Robert quips "She donates to my charity for the poor in Sullivan. And James was my best friend." In the visitation room, Trisha asks "Where is my Husband?" Natalie laughs "Likely relaxing, enjoying you being gone. You know you just destroyed your marriage, and now the truth is known." Trisha yells "If Daddy was alive you wouldn't do this." Natalie goes "You are right. You hurt Sarah badly Trisha. Your jealously made me lose a number of years with her, same for your Daddy and your Sisters. And Adam..." Trisha snaps angrily "I've heard enough about him! I think he's playing you!" Natalie calmly answers "That's my Grandson, and he will be the heir to James and I's fortune. I just want to make one thing known to you right now." Natalie walks over to her Daughter, and bends downs and whispers "I will find joy in my days without my greatest joy making you pay anyway I can. And not Paul, Ella, your kids can stop me. Well Paul will have enough anyway." Trisha responds boldly "And mark my words you bitch, you want a war, well you old senile witch, you've got one!" Natalie walks out of the visitation room, and quips "Clean yourself up before going home." Natalie walks into the lobby, as Ella warns her Mother "I don't like this. You are hellbent on making Trisha pay for something that happened years ago and move on! Adam's here, isn't that enough?" Natalie glares at her Daughter, and goes "It is not Ella. And the more you talk, the less I like you." Robert is quiet, as Natalie walks out, and Robert tells Ella "Well take her on home now." Ella waits, as she shakes her head with sadness and hurt.
At Hall Enterprises, Jeff arrives, as Adam's secretary tells him "Mr. Lord isn't here, but your Uncle is here." Jeff sighs "Oh shit, well point me to my office." The secretary leads Jeff to his new office. At The Crown, Paul sits at the bar, as he drinks and Anna arrives, and goes "I'd thought you'd be down getting Trisha out of jail." Paul tells his Sister In Law "Our Mothers are going to drive her crazy. This was a new low and now charges." Anna gasps "Charges?" Paul snaps "Natalie and my Mama needs to stop. The past is where it needs to stay. So Adam's in town. According to Ford, he isn't very interested in me or his siblings." Anna adds "And don't forget your drunken Wife who drove his Mother to an early grave. Your true love." Paul snaps "Damnit will you all stop talking about Sarah! Hell don't think I was hurt. I made my mistake marrying Trisha and I just need time to wrap my head around the fact Sarah and I's Son is here. I hope so at least." Anna goes "Mama only expects the best. And she wouldn't have gone as far as she has otherwise." Paul agrees, as Anna gets a text and leaves, as Paul orders another drink, and says "He's my Son." Paul says to himself "Should I?" with fear in his tone, and longing in his eye to meet his Son.
At Broward Inc, Caroline sits inside Paul's office, as she tells her Son on the other line "If you decide to, let me know, so Natalie will know. And right now the less you know the better." Caroline hangs up, as Lacey walks inside, and asks "Anymore copies for you bitch?" Caroline hatefully goes "Copy a pink slip and give it to yourself you whore." Lacey snaps "I've had enough from you Caroline..." Fancy storms inside angrily, as she yells "Caroline you done made a damn mistake taking your anger out on Lacey that you should take on me!" Caroline quips "Looks like Lacey called in the master of how to be a whore, Fancy Smallwood. I'd say Jennings.." Fancy looks at her Daughter, and tells her "Lacey you need to leave this to us." Lacey warns "Mom! You need backup. What if Janet.." Caroline yells "Come on Fancy, since your family is full of mistakes, and you own that old mansion... what's your secret recipe?" Fancy warns Lacey "Get out." Caroline tells Fancy "Tell you Daughter your recipe for your powerful seduction of Browards." Fancy yells at Lacey one more time "Dammit Lacey I said leave!" Lacey answers "No Mom I won't. What is this bitch trying to say?" Fancy tells Caroline "Tell Paul Lacey quit. And you don't ever cross my path again if you know what's good for you." Caroline asks "Does that mean you'll stop your sexual tendencies towards the Broward men?" Fancy and Lacey storm out, as they wait for the elevator, as Janet gets off and Lacey gets on, as Fancy returns to Paul's office, and coldly warns Caroline "Hurt my Daughter, and I will make you suffer you miserable high class bitch."
At Smallwood Farm, Robert arrives, as Bo and Karen greet him, and Robert gives her a hug, and goes "Lena and I always pray for you." Bo tells Robert "Elizabeth is on her way home, and where's your deputy?" Robert quips "Chief knows how to handle a Smallwood. I remember Tom's still." Bo and Karen laugh, as Robert assures them "Leave it to me, and hopefully Tom'll stay out of my damn way and this will be solved." At The Flamingo, Teddy sits inside his office, as Danny pleads his innocence, as Teddy warns him "I know you did this you sick bastard! Man though I run this strip club, I'd never treat my own or step-child like you have done Elizabeth! And bruh, treating Karen like you have.. Where the hell are your morals?" Danny yells "I got morals damnit!" Danny stands and warns Teddy "Push me and I'll expose what you're really doing." Teddy answers "You seem to have a death wish too Danny." Danny leaves and walks past Adam, as he asks a bartender "Where's the owner?" Back at Smallwood Farm, Tom, Elsie, and Elizabeth, as Robert looks at Tom "All these years and now you need my help." Tom goes "Oh shut up. It's for Elizabeth." Robert tells them "Bo has left and Karen is resting." Elizabeth goes into her Mother's bedroom, as Tom asks Robert "So where's the squad Chief?" Robert quips "I got you and Elsie to help me. Elizabeth." Tom nods, and sighs "I should've been more open to your words but.." Robert smiles "Times change Tom." Elsie nods in agreement. In Karen's Bedroom, Karen lays on the bed, as she touches her Daughter's face, and tells her "We have one more thing to do." Elizabeth asks "What's that Mom?" Karen, with a tear rolling down her cheek, tells her "Time for you to meet your truth my baby." Elizabeth asks "What are you talking about?" Karen smiles "I need to know you have support. I have to know that and I can do that now."
At Hall Enterprises, Jeff and Jake catch up inside Jeff's office as Jake tells his Cousin "So met Adam yet? I haven't." Jeff tells him "He is late apparently. Gram did say he's got a lot of things on the burner." Jake tells Jeff "She's supposed to come down here." Jeff quips "Of course. Its tradition, and she's happy for a change since Grandpa passed away." Jake agrees, as they continue to catch up. In Ed's office, Ed hangs up with Ella, as he rolls his eyes, and says out loud "She's really went batshit." Unknown to him, Natalie stands outside his door, and walks inside and asks "Who's gone batshit Ed?" Ed gasps with shock, as Natalie warns him "Don't push my buttons. I know more than you think." Ed asks "What exactly do you know? Know I should be running Hall?" Natalie in a coy tone answers "Umm, enough to destroy you. I imagine my Daughter filled you in on Trisha's ordeal. Well call it practice." Natalie walks out, as Ed shakes his head in disbelief, and a bad feeling.
Meanwhile at Paul and Trisha's Apartment, Bess arrives, as Paul tells his Children "Your Mom hasn't returned since her Mama bailed her out." Bess quips "Maybe she'll disappear. I hate her more now that Grandma Caroline opened up to me." Paul walks into the bedroom, as he yells with frustration, as Ford reminds his Sister "This guy Adam is going to hurt you, as he's hurting Dad, and I think Gram's gone off the deep end." Bess yells "Gram's never lied, same for Grandmother!" Ford heads to the door, as he goes "Time to meet with the Dean of Sullivan University." Ford leaves, as Bess stands and has a thought, and walks into the bedroom and tells her Father "Let's meet Adam!" Paul looks at his Daughter, and fear comes in his eyes, as he cries. At Broward Inc, Caroline gets a text from Natalie, as she grabs her keys, and is stopped by Janet, as she quickly excuses herself. Janet notices the quiet, and says "Perfect.", and sends a text. At The Flamingo, Teddy counts cash, as he smokes a blunt, and Adam walks inside, and Teddy asks "Who the hell are you?" Adam pulls out his pistol, and goes "I'm going to ask some questions, and one wrong answer? Bang." Teddy pulls his pistol out, as Adam goes "Just don't. I already have what I need, now are we going to do this my way, or would you rather meet the end of this bullet?"
