Change Of Season: Episode 10. To Divide And Destroy, Part 2 of 2

    Night is falling onto Sullivan, and at Paul and Trisha's Apartment, Ford arrives, as he finds his Father taking a drink, and asking his Son "So Trisha's staying with you?" Ford tells his Father "You have disappointed me Dad. Mom needs you.." Paul yells "Ford there's things you don't know and it's now back, and she broke her promise to me! So you deal with her and come tell me about it when you get sick of her shit!" Ford grabs his Mother's suitcases, and yells back "Don't expect sympathy if Gram and Grandma drives Mom into a grave!" Back at Ford's Loft, Trisha grows silent, as fear grows in her eyes, as she says "Mama how did you?" Natalie quietly says "I pay money to keep track of you. I know everything you do." Trisha yells "You evil bitch! You're not just senile, but also demented.." Natalie warns her "Trisha don't yell or I'll get the job finished! And don't play innocent with me. You were jealous of my sweet Sarah, and stole Paul from her! She then left town! With a baby coming Trisha! Then after that it's horrible! You are a murderer, a cold hearted murderer. You can kill without a bullet. Well you did that!" Trisha tells her Mother "Just put the gun down, and I'll forget everything.." Natalie turns off the safety, and coldly answers "Daddy isn't here to save you from me now you mistake!"

     At Smallwood Farm, Elsie returns, as Robert has went home and Jordan stays behind to keep guard for Danny, as Elizabeth is in her bedroom, where Karen sits by her side, as they talk and Karen tells her Daughter "Here's the results." Elizabeth and Karen both are horrified. Inside the living room, Jordan tells Elsie "If he shows up, he's a dead man." Tom sighs with sadness "We worked hard while he was growing up, so we failed as parents. But he or my children or grandchildren say I haven't protected them! I can't believe it's come to this.." Elsie hugs her Husband, as she adds "Good times though are coming for Elizabeth. The truth will be out, and she'll have a real Father I believe in my heart. But unfortunately she'll have that bitch Caroline in her life." Tom goes "Now she was the one who did save her." Jordan tells both of them "In my short time in Sullivan, I've met many people. Mrs. Broward's pure elegance and class." Elsie mumbles "And full of shit." In a warehouse in Downtown Sullivan. A man sits in a chair, as his hands are tied to the back, and legs also tied to the chair, wearing a blindfold, as he yells "Where the hell am I?" Across sits a man, holding a rifle, and is silent, eyes filled with rage. The door opens, as Adam walks inside, and says "So you got the first part right." Adam walks over, and tells the man tied to the chair "So we meet." The man yells "What in the hell is going on?" Adam answers, sticking his pistol to the man's head "Satan's accepting new guests, and you're about to be next Danny."

    At Ed and Ella's Home, Ella sits in her bedroom, as Jake walks inside and asks his Mother "Wanna come over to my place tonight?" Ella answers "Son, I will stay in my home. He can leave. I just.. I just hurt. How could he do this to me Jake?" Jake tells his Mother "I'm staying here, and you'll be ok. I promise. We'll deal with Dad together." Ella goes "Well it's going to get very ugly after all we know now." Jake tells her "Mom just rest and I'll go sleep in my old room. I love you." Ella goes "Love you my boy.", as he walks into the living room, and Ella calls it a night, crying herself to sleep.

   Over at Hall Manor, Anna walks inside, as Jeff tells his Mother "I'm getting no answer from the Queen." Anna sighs "It's late and from looking in Daddy's study, Trisha may've just pushed her over the edge. Ella left me a voicemail telling me of her visit with Mama.." Jeff asks "What changed in Gram? Before you arrived, I noticed how she has everything tracked." Anna nods "Yes Jeff, she knows everything going on. And today has not been her day. But I have a feeling I know where she is." Jeff asks "Trisha?" Anna looks at him, and shrugs her shoulders and sighs, as she opens the desk drawer "Trisha went too far and Mama's snapped.", as the pistol's gone. At Ford's Loft, Natalie walks around the living room, as she goes "Trisha, when you were young, I so loved you. You were such a sweetheart. But one day you got rebellious and James spoiled you." Trisha yells "You never liked me like you did Sarah, or you do Anna!" Natalie aims again at her Daughter, and warns "One pull and you're a dead bitch. Stop yelling!" Trisha responds with anger and frustration "You and Caroline have been together for years, committed to destroying me and Paul's true romance." Natalie snaps "And also telling Paul not to meet him?" Trisha snaps "Well he was downright mean to Ford." Natalie quips "Well I don't like Ford myself. Smug little bastard.." Ford walks inside, as Trisha runs to him, as Natalie turns the safety back on her pistol, and in a confused tone, goes "What happened?" Ford tells his Grandmother "You and Grandma Caroline's gone too far. Leave my Mom alone, or deal with me." Natalie glares at them, and heads to the door, and tells Ford "You can't save her. And you are just like her. A selfish son of a bitch." Natalie walks out, with anger in her eyes, as she heads home, and back in Ford's Loft, Ford asks his Mother "Do you wanna?" Trisha tells her Son "No point. Robert will protect her. But she wants me dead. So.." Ford looks at his Mother, as Trisha is silent, deep in thought.

      Meanwhile at Thayer's, Caroline sits, as Bess tells her of Trisha's earlier visit, as Caroline tells her Granddaughter "So I was thinking tonight you stay with your Father since he kicked Trisha out." Bess nods, as she quips "We have ESP I believe." Caroline smiles "I think we do." Caroline then changes subjects, and tells her "Tomorrow Natalie's introducing me to Adam. But that's all I can say for now." Bess smiles, and says "Let me know how it goes.", with a hug as Caroline tells her "I certainly will." Caroline heads home for the night, as Bess calls her Father, but to no answer." At Paul and Trisha's apartment, Paul is alone as he looks at photos hanging on the walls, his mind reflecting on his past with Sarah. Paul turns around, and gasps "Sarah? You.. you" Sarah's ghost appears and quips "Appears you've gotten old since we last saw each other." Paul asks, with fear "Am I going crazy? Is it you?" Sarah answers "No, I'm just an angel now and watch over my Mama and my baby." Paul says "In my heart I feel its true." Sarah goes "But Trisha.." Paul looks at Sarah, and cries "I am so sorry about hurting you. I always had my eyes truly for you." Sarah goes "I know my love. But its not your fault. I just appeared to tell you to meet our Son, embrace this new chapter you're beginning." Paul looks at Sarah, and tells her with sadness "I miss you and wish you were here with me." Sarah smiles, and goes "Paul you will always have me around, and now follow your heart. I love you." Sarah disappears, as Paul sits down on the couch, and has a thought, and makes a phone call, and asks "Can you connect me to Adam Lord's Suite?" Paul shows defeat, as he sighs "Thank you.", and hangs up the phone and walks to the bedroom, to turn around and look at the empty apartment, and goes "It is a new chapter indeed."

    As darkness has come to Sullivan, at The Crept Myrtle, in a suite, Ed and Janet lay in bed, as they look at each other, and they check their phones, and return to having sex. At Hall Manor, Natalie returns home, as Anna and Jeff ask with concern "What did you do?" Natalie tells her Daughter and Grandson with defeat "I didn't finish the job." Anna tells her Mother "Jake and Stephanie's staying with Ella now she knows." Natalie nods, as Jeff asks his Grandmother "So you know everything going on in this family I've noticed Queen?" Natalie laughs "I do. And know all." Anna tells them "I'm heading back home for the night." Natalie and her Daughter embrace, as Jeff tells his Mother "I'll keep an eye on her." Anna kisses her Son and heads to her Mansion, as Natalie heads to the stairway, and tells her Grandson "Tomorrow we're having a meeting. Here. Goodnight." Jeff goes "Well what did you go do tonight?" Natalie answers "What I didn't do." Natalie calls it a night, as Jeff walks into the den and says to himself "Things are worse than I thought.", as worry shows in his eyes.

     At Smallwood Farm, Tom and Elsie are in the living room, as Jordan tells them "It's ok to get some rest." Tom makes a phone call, as Elsie sends a text to Ricky and Fancy and tells Jordan "Danny is dangerous. He's crazy." Jordan assures Elsie "Mrs. Smallwood, I may be new, but Chief has told me all I need to know." In the kitchen, Tom is on the phone, as he tells the person on the other line "Good to know.", and hangs up." Meanwhile in Elizabeth's bedroom, Karen sits on the bed next to Elizabeth, as they talk, and Karen goes "This is horrible sweetie, but look here, you'll have a lot of support. You got such a huge family." Elizabeth goes "Mom, let's stop talking about me and you just come out with whatever you want to say. I know you." Karen looks down, and takes a deep breath, and says "Your real Father is in town. He knows about you, and.." Elizabeth gasps, as Karen pleads "Please don't hate me.." Elizabeth gets emotional, and asks "Is he a good person?" Karen holds her hands, and says "You are Natalie Hall and Caroline Broward's Granddaughter and their arms are wide open to be there for you.." Elizabeth cries tears of joy, as Karen holds her Daughter, and cries, as she feels relief, yet in pain as she tells her "I'm to my room. It's ok now." Karen goes to bed, as does Elizabeth, as she smiles with the thought of her real Father.

     Meanwhile at Paul and Trisha's Apartment, Bess arrives, as she asks her Father, noticing his emotions "Are you ok?" Paul says "I am, and it's all new from here. Tomorrow I meet my Son Adam." Bess hugs him, and smiles "I hope everything will work out." Paul assures his Daughter "It will. I know it will." At Ford's Loft, Ford makes coffee, as Trisha sits on the couch, and Ford tells his Mother "Leaving town isn't going to help you Mom. Remember you have to.." Trisha yells "Ford I am in trouble whether I stay or run! It's best that I get the hell out of town while I can still breathe." Ford asks "What's your plans?" Trisha pulls out three stacks of cash, and Paul's pistol, and goes "I'll be ok and be in touch. Maybe I'll return." Ford is silent, as he gets emotional, and Trisha tells her Son "It's best for now." Trisha grabs her suitcases, as Ford looks defeated and as she walks out of his loft, and heads to the elevator, and has a thought.

    Back at The Warehouse in downtown Sullivan, Adam is in an old office, as the man tells him "Ok now what's the plan? I have assured my Papaw everything's ok." Adam looks out, as he quips "And he doesn't even know who you are yet." Adam walks out, and walks to Danny, who's still tied to the chair and blindfolded, as Adam asks "Figured out what's going on yet?" Danny yells "What do you want from me? I am innocent I tell you!" Adam motions the man over, as Adam turns the safety off of his pistol, as Adam tells the man "Pull off the bastard's blindfold so he can see for a second." The blindfold is pulled up, as Danny screams "Oh shit! Storm!" Danny turns to Adam, and snarls "Russell Travis." Adam snarls "Adam Lord you bastard!" Danny yells with hatred in his voice "I raised Elizabeth without any help and your sorry ass is nothing but a deadbeat Dad." Adam punches Danny in the mouth, as Storm stands silently, with rage in his eyes, and Adam coldly tells Danny "Your ass is finished now. You can either be honest, or.." Adam's pistol is between Danny's eyes, as Storm has his rifle aimed at his Uncle, and yells "You deserve to die you sorry piece of shit. Thank Papaw I haven't went with my gut instincts!" Adam pulls a piece of tarp over, as he tells Storm "Just rest in the office, as he tells Danny "Sleep well. Tomorrow is judgement day.", pulling the blindfold over his eyes, and sticking a washcloth into his mouth, and covered with duct-tape, and kicks the chair over as Storm throws the tarp over him, as Adam heads to his suite for the night.
