At Hall Manor, Natalie shows Adam, Jeff, Caroline, Paul, and Elsie footage, as they all are silent, and Elsie angrily storms out in a fury, as Natalie goes "Oh shit.." Adam meanwhile tells everyone in the dining room "I think what we've determined will be best and will work in our favor." All agree, as they conclude the meeting, and Adam begins to head out when Paul stops, and asks his Son "Can we try to have something between us? I always.." Adam leaves, as Caroline asks her Son "Cold shoulder Paul?" Paul nods, and says "Damn Trisha ruined me. I wish I'd seen it sooner." Caroline tells her Son "I warned you.." Paul rolls his eyes. Meanwhile Natalie walks over to her Grandson and tells him "We're having a press conference at The Crept Myrtle tomorrow. Jeff nods, and makes some phone calls while Caroline asks Natalie "What will it take for Adam to accept Paul?" Natalie answers "To him, Paul is a stranger, and my unfortunately breathing Daughter ruined it!" Caroline smiles "At least he warmed to me. But he's brilliant." Both agree. Meanwhile at Hall Enterprises, Ed and Janet put back on their clothes, and Janet heads back to Broward Inc, as Ed gets a text, and also leaves.
Downstairs at The Crown, Ella sits at the bar, as Anna sits next to her Sister, as Ella sends a text, and Anna spots Janet walking out of the elevator, and points on her Sister's shoulder, and goes "Let's see if he follows." Ed comes off the elevator, and Ella's eyes fill with tears, and shakes her head with doubt, and tells Anna "Not with people around." Anna leaves some money, and tells Ella "Ok, we're off to your house and I'm going to help you. Time the son of a bitch knows he's lost you." They head out. As they head outside, Anna's phone rings, as she smiles, and goes "Ahh Scarlet's back!" Ella looks at her Sister, as they await their cars, and Anna answers, as Scarlet, sitting in the living room of her home, called "Victory Hill", from its past, tells her childhood best friend "I am back in Sullivan and before Mason comes home from Europe, want to stop by and have some drinks and tell dirty stories?" Anna has the phone on speaker, as Ella listens, and yells "Not now!" Scarlet asks "Ella Hall?" Ella goes "Hello to you Scarlet. Bad time." Anna tells her friend "I'll text you." and hangs up, as Ella asks "Anna shouldn't you call.." Anna looks at her Sister, and says "You need me more.", as they head to Ed and Ella's Home. Back at Victory Hill, Scarlet quietly walks around, as she looks onto a patch of trees, and smiles "Paradise. So good to be home, as her cat, Stevie runs and jumps in her arms, as she pets him and laughs "You'll meet your sissy soon."
At Sullivan University, in the food hall, Courtney sits with Marcus Carver, Professor of music at the University, as he asks "So Scarlet came in and didn't stop to see me?" Courtney laughs "She might not know you moved back yourself." Marcus sighs "I enjoyed my days living wild and free. Married, family of three. Then divorce and the funk dies on the radio so listened to the Chief. Always have a backup plan." A page goes for Marcus, as he walks off, and Courtney finishes her meal before returning to class, as Ford approaches her, and asks "So now you're talking to an old man?" Courtney asks boldly "Are you watching me?" Ford shrugs "Just happened to be getting a meal like any other staff." Courtney warns Ford "You are turning into a creep since you know I'm friends with Adam, and just stay away from me." Ford responds "You are making a mistake." Courtney quips "Well I just fixed it." as she leaves and Ford makes a phone call, asking "Mom are you safe?" On the Interstate, heading west, Trisha tells her Son "I am fine. Just fine.", as they hang up and Ford also returns to his room. On the Interstate, Trisha drives, as she thinks of her past, and looks over at her purse.
Meanwhile at Park Lane Medical Center, Tom and Elizabeth's waiting to see a Doctor, as Elizabeth tells him "Grandpa stay out here." Tom nods, as he grumbles "I'm not into that kinda shit anyway. May go see if I can score Karen some free medicine." Elizabeth looks at him, as Wylene passes by, and Elizabeth stops, and asks "You work here?" Wylene answers "Why yes I do. I head up the mental health division of Park Lane. My day job. You ok?" Tom goes "She needs to see a doctor." Wylene tells Elizabeth "I'll take you along with me and get it seen about." Tom gets up, as Wylene tells him "Only ladies." Tom walks away, and makes a phone call, as Ricky answers, as he's headed back home and tells his Father "Are you having Danny killed? Who.." Tom tells his Son "Ricky, Elsie would kill me if I did that. But at least you know Storm's home, and sticking around hopefully." They hang up, as Tom is silent and thinks of Danny, as anger grows in his eyes. At The Warehouse, Storm sits across from Danny, as he's allowed to talk, and Storm's pulled up the blindfold and goes "Nah. You showed me your idea on family when I went to jail for you. You have screwed over a LOT of people. Remember your biological Daughter, Paige?" Danny tells his Nephew "I have to be there for Karen and Elizabeth?" Storm gets a text, and says to his Uncle "Elizabeth knows now, and oh.. you won't be leaving here and going home. That's a promise, holding his rifle, and laughing "Can't wait to use it."
At Hall Manor, Natalie sits in her den, as Caroline asks her "So do you think I can consider Elsie a friend now?" Natalie takes a drag from her cigarette, and quips "No Caroline, she's going to do something, but for you, never." Caroline sighs "I need to leave and prepare for possible changes and think some things over." Caroline returns home, as Natalie gets a text from Jeff, as he tells her "It's empty down here. Adam's working abroad." Natalie texts back "That's ok. Now be a good boy and if you see Ed, don't say a word." At Smallwood Farm, Adam returns, as Karen sits next to him in the living room and share memories as Adam goes "Since you and I met again and I know about Elizabeth, all I think about is her. I am a Daddy!" Karen tells him "You'd been much better than Danny was. And he had a marriage prior to me and has a daughter that nobody hears from much." Adam asks "So why did Mr. Smallwood take her down to the hospital?" Karen goes "She's pregnant Adam." Adam's eyes turn red, as Karen warns "Look, I know something weird's going on, and I got enough going on facing death in the face.." Adam holds her hand, and says "Elizabeth is safe, and you are too now. Your last days will be of something you and my little girl needs, peace." Adam gets up, and walks out, as Karen looks on, and cries. Adam gets into his SUV, and sends a text, and heads to The Warehouse.
At The Mansion, Paul arrives, and Fancy waits the bar, as she asks Paul "So what's wrong?" Paul goes "The hardest drink on the bar. I need it." Paul gets emotional, as Fancy asks "Did your Mama or that bitch Janet fire you from Broward?" Paul answers "No Fancy, I met my Son Adam. My Son with Sarah." Fancy gasps, as she asks "How did the meeting go because my Mama sent me a text about being able to join." Paul takes a drink, and says "Maybe you should check in." At Broward Inc, Elsie walks around Janet's office, as she takes a drink of straight vodka, and is silent, as the door opens and Janet goes "What in the hell are you doing here Elsie? I told you and yours to never visit." Elsie walks up to her Daughter in law, and takes another drink from the vodka bottle, as she asks in a calm, but furious tone "Whore remember what I told you last time you hurt my boys?" Janet, in a snobby tone goes "I don't listen to you. You and Tom were horrible role models for parents, grandparents.." Elsie yells "You aren't no damn Mama! You are a whore! A sorry ass WHORE!" Elsie jumps her Daughter In Law, as a brawl begins to break out, as Elsie has her hands locked on Janet's throat, as she yells "Think I'm gonna allow you to hurt my baby screwing Ed Banks? And then the way you treated my Son?" Janet pushes her Mother In Law off of her, and snarls "I never wanted to carry your family's offspring. Wasn't for Ricky whining and the fact I wasn't where I was, I'd aborted him!" Elsie pulls out her knife, and walks up to Janet, and tells her "You're getting yours whore. And I raised Storm! You were to busy kissing Caroline's ass! Don't let me hear or see you screwing around or it'll be the last!" Elsie storms out, as Janet sees blood, and makes a phone call, to no answer.
At Thayer's, Ed meets with his Son, as Jake looks at his Father, and tells him "Well I guess you fell for the bait huh?" Ed asks "What? I thought we were going to talk about helping me out of this mess." Jake goes in a disgusted tone "Dad, Mom is hurting right now and you want my help? Do you realize Mom is finished now." Ed asks his Son "Well how about you?" Jake goes "If you want me to support you and feel sorry, forget that! If we were in the middle of nowhere I'd beat the shit out of you." Ed goes "Will you make sure Ella's ok? I'm.." Jake is silent, as he checks his clock, and tells his Father "I have to return to work, and not wasting my time. Dad, you did this." Jake leaves, as Ed sits and says to himself "It's time to make the move." Ed calls Janet, as she sits in her office, recovering from her brawl with Elsie, as she snarls "Well they all know now Ed.." Ed asks "So?" Janet, coldly responds "Time to do us, and do them into bankruptcy. Smallwood Town Center sounds catchy." Ed laughs, as they plot over the phone, as he takes a drink. Meanwhile at Hall Enterprises, Jeff gets a text from Adam, and tells an employee in Ed's office "Make sure to call the movers and the correct date."
Back at Park Lane Medical Center, Wylene walks into her office, as Elizabeth sits inside and says "Tom's left. I'll drive you back." Elizabeth sighs "So what's your thoughts?" Wylene, holding her charts, asks "About the baby? Or Adam Lord?" Elizabeth goes "Are you saying.." Wylene, nods and says "You will be a Mother soon. And for Adam, I was impressed with him though he spoke to Karen. He's not about nonsense. All business. He and you will find common ground, and you'll have my free services." Elizabeth, is shock, tells her "All these years, and now I am a Hall, and a Broward! I know how.." Wylene goes "Now stop! If Natalie and Caroline are as happy and welcoming to Adam, they will with you, though warning Ms. Natalie is also anti-social." Elizabeth laughs "That's why Grandma says I could never go over to help to get out of there." Wylene tells her "Sweetie it'll be ok. But think hard about this baby." At Smallwood Farm, Tom returns, as he yells "Oh Shit. She's going to jail!", in a panic, as Karen asks "Who?" Tom goes "She just called and said she's going back to work and Janet's screwing Ed Banks." Karen rolls her eyes, and grows faint, as Tom catches her, and helps her to the couch, as he tells her "Rest. I'll be right back." Tom walks to the kitchen and calls Storm, and gets no answer. Tom then calls Ricky, to no answer. Tom is silent, as he goes "Storm got it handled."
At Victory Hill, Courtney arrives. Scarlet greets her Daughter, and Courtney's in awe, and goes "I see you got your southern dream house Mom." Scarlet nods with happiness, but then asks "I thought you still had to work?" Courtney tells her Mother "Marcus Carver's handling things." Scarlet smiles "Well that Marcus is a great man. He and Robert's always had a rivalry, but it was age. Marcus was another free spirit from this town, but back to you, what's wrong?" Courtney asks "Why is that?" Scarlet answers "Mothers know." Scarlet leads Courtney into the living room, as they sit and Courtney tells her of Ford, as Scarlet asks "And what about the mystery?" Courtney answers "I don't know my answer." Scarlet looks at Courtney, and says "I think you're falling for the mystery man." Courtney blushes.
At Ed and Ella's Home, Ella grows annoyed, as Anna tells her Sister "We're going to take on his ass if he shows up!" Ella asks "Anna can you shut the hell up? It's not that easy." At Hall Manor, Natalie sits in the den, as she smokes a cigarette and watches security footage, as Elsie returns, and Natalie asks "Went to visit Janet?" Elsie nods, as she heads to the kitchen and grabs a beer. At The Mansion, Paul and Fancy talk, as she sits down next to him at the bar, and both have a drink. At The Broward Mansion, Caroline sits inside, as she hangs up the phone and a smile of mischief comes across her face. Meanwhile at The Warehouse, Adam arrives, as Danny yells "Son of a bitch you need to let me go! I will kill your worthless ass!!" Adam asks Storm "Did it come?" Storm nods, as Adam tells Danny in a calm tone, holding his pistol "Elizabeth is pregnant.." Danny yells "I swear that baby is Ed Banks' child!" Adam responds "Maybe. It could be Teddy King's, or... yours." Adam asks Danny "Ever been on a train ride?" Three men walk inside, as Adam tells Danny "Karen and Elizabeth are finished with you. And enjoy your trip. If you return, your ass is dead. You'll enjoy it where you're going." A bag is thrown over Danny's chair, as Adam and Storm watches, and Danny's put into a large crate and carried out of the warehouse, as Storm asks Adam "What's next?" Adam asks Storm "Want to live? Don't ask questions."
