Dr.Ryan told me I have to take it easy, but it's going to be hard to do." Hazel and Janet tells their Mother "You won't jump back into your work again Mama. And don't worry about Lynn either." Mary calls Sage over to her bedside, and asks "How is your Daddy?" Sage responds "I don't really know. I hope he burns in hell for the havoc he's caused you and Paw." Miles looks at his Granddaughter, as does Mary, as they tell her "Hold out hope maybe he can change his ways." Sage sighs "I'd love to have that positive thinking, but I doubt I will." Meanwhile Andy and Summer walks over to Mary's bedside, and Andy tells his Great Aunt "It's good that you're home, and we need to head back ourselves. Russell and Paul's watching Jake." Mary laughs "Grandparents spoil their Grand-babies." Andy and Summer heads out, as Sage follows. Hazel and Janet walks outside, as Janet tells her Sister "I'm heading home to check on Phillip. Are you staying here?" Hazel points into the room, and tells Janet "Kane is. I'm heading back to the house, and Lacey's going to get some rest." Hazel and Janet hugs, as they look inside the room, and Miles tells his Grandchildren "Go home. I want to be with my Mama tonight." Mary shoos Kane and Lacey off, as they walk outside, and Hazel asks "Are the two of you leaving?" Kane sighs "Grandpa said so." They head out, as Mary looks at her Husband, as Miles kisses his Wife, and holds her hand.
   At Evan's Mansion, Angie has arrived, as Willard and Estelle has cooked dinner, and Evan asks "Mama hasn't arrived yet?" Estelle tells her Grandson "Caroline's down at the house with her. They have a few things to discuss. We're heading home in the morning back to the beach. This weather is cold for us old timers." Evan laughs, as Willard tells Evan "Just do me a favor and make sure Jesse stays away from your Mama. He isn't nothing but trash, and keep doing what your doing." Angie tells them "If Mama doesn't show up in a few minutes, I'm going to check on her." Estelle looks at her Granddaughter, and quips "Quit being so clingy Angie. You remind me of your Mama." Meanwhile at The Gore Farm, Caroline sits inside Addie's Study, as Addie tells her Daughter In Law "Give these cards to my Mama and Daddy, and I'm staying to myself tonight." Caroline warns her Mother In Law, as she flips through the transcript for her new book "Jesse could sue you." Addie quips "Let him. I have wanted to say this for over 35 years. That bastard left me and my two kids to fend for ourselves, and I have waited for this for years. If he wants to stay in Unity, fine, but I plan to make him absolutely miserable." Caroline shakes her head, as Addie hands Caroline the cards, and tells her "Mama and Daddy will understand. And keep Angie busy. I just want to be alone tonight." Caroline looks at her Mother In Law, with sadness in her eyes, as she heads out, and Addie gets back to writing, as she says in a tone of hurt "It's time for the world to see who you really are you piece of shit."
   Meanwhile at Gene's, Colt walks inside, as he orders a beer, and sees Jesse sitting at the bar, and quips "Damn they weren't lying about you. You were always my favorite driver growing up!" Jesse slurs "Great. Maybe if you want to race, I'll give you a ride." Colt's eyes widen, as he goes "Really?" Jesse tells Colt "You look like the type that doesn't take any shit off of anyone." Colt tells Jesse "I may be able to buy the ride." Jesse asks "What do you mean? Weren't you down the block from me in Prison?" Colt whispers "5 Million Dollars." Jesse smiles, as he says "Very tempting indeed." Meanwhile, at Casey's Apartment in Unity, Jimmy sits inside the living room, as Casey walks inside, and asks her Brother "You look plastered. Been hanging out with Jesse Adams?" Jimmy tells his Sister "Well he's offered me a ride, and he's competitive. But I need your help." Casey looks at her Brother, and warns him "I won't buy you a ride and I will not be a part of anything with that pig's name on it." Jimmy tells his Sister "He wants to sleep with you Casey.." Casey's eyes widen, as she goes "What! Hell no Jimmy! Hell No!" Jimmy tries to persuade Casey, telling her "He's not a bad guy, hell he's a legend!" Casey yells at Jimmy "He disgusts me, and it makes me sick to my stomach to think you would bring something like that up! Forget it!" Jimmy pleads "We've always taken care of each other Sis." Casey heads to her bedroom, and slams the door, as Jimmy says under his breath "Shit!"
   At Andy and Summer's Home, Andy and Summer returns home, as Russell holds Jake, and Summer asks her Father "So did you ruin him while I was gone?" Russell looks at Paul, and Russell tells his Daughter "Nah. Never." Summer holds her Son, as Russell tells Andy and Paul to follow him outside. Once outside, Russell looks at Andy and Paul, and shows them a message from Bobby, as Andy says to himself "Here we go again." Paul asks Russell "So I take it you're going back to Adam's Landing?" Russell looks through the window, and tells them "I'm heading to Capital City to oversee this. Paul, you are the Son of Bobby Whitten, so I want you to take the DA spot here in Unity, and Andy, you keep your eyes open. You're a reverend, and I know you'll be at Unity General often, so keep your eyes open." Andy and Paul agree, as Russell heads inside, and tells Summer "Summer, I'm heading to Capital City for a few days, and make a stop in Adam's Landing, but I'll be back soon." Jake cries, as Summer tells her Father "It looks like someone's going to miss his Grandpa." Russell looks at Jake, and tells his Daughter "I'll miss that little guy, but I'll be checking in." Summer asks her Father "When are you leaving Dad?" Russell tells his Daughter "In the morning, I'm flying out to Capital City, before returning to Adam's Landing." Summer hugs her Father tightly, as Andy sits outside with Paul, and they discuss strategy regarding the information Russell has presented to them.
    As night has fallen, and quiet's in Evan's Mansion, as dinner has concluded, and Willard and Estelle has headed back home to their condo in Southpoint Beach, Evan and Caroline lays together in bed, as Caroline tells her Husband "I really feel bad for your Mom. She holds so much back, and seeing your Father.." Evan stops his Wife, and tells her "Jesse Adams is a sperm donor, not a Father." Caroline turns out the light, as she and Evan calls it a night." At Hazel's Home, Hazel and Kane has returned, as they settle in and Kane assures his Mother "Don't worry about Grandma and Grandpa. They will be fine."

He prays for understanding, and Phillip says "I wish there was someone who could help me understand this." In the back, Willard walks inside, as he looks at Phillip and asks him "So you know the truth?" Phillip turns his head, and asks Williard "When did you come back to town?" Willard tells him "Yesterday for Addie's Retirement Party, which went south." Phillip looks at Willard, as he tells him "I seen Alexandra for a few minutes this morning, and she told me about what happened. Don't be too hard on her." Phillip asks "Why shouldn't I Mr.Gore? All these years I thought she was my Sister, overprotective, but still.." Willard tells Phillip "Linc And Maggie had their reasons Phillip. And  it was a huge scandal in Unity with Alexandra came home with her heart broke, and pregnant."

   At The Gore Farm, Estelle stands outside, as she yells for Addie, and she walks outside, and Estelle asks her Daughter "Are you ok after last night?" Addie looks at her Mother, and tells her "No. I didn't sleep at all, having so many thoughts enter my mind about that son of a bitch.." Estelle looks at Addie with disapproval, and quips "Hell, I cuss sometimes myself. When you're in your 80s, you can." Addie laughs "You really are feisty these days Mama." Estelle holds Addie, and says "I miss having Gore's, and running it with Willard, but  this town is sad these days. Down in Southpoint Beach, we have fun, and we enjoy our retirement." Addie quips "I just retired from teaching, not writing or painting." Estelle tells her Daughter "Don't worry about Jesse Adams. He is a pig, and he's reaping what he's sewn." Addie takes a deep breath, as she sighs "I reckon so. He did lose his race team, and was in prison." Estelle smiles, and quips "See, and he'll be back there again. Evan and Angie won't let him bother you my love." Estelle holds her Daughter, as Addie deals with Jesse's return to town.

   Meanwhile at Gene's, Jesse sits at the bar, as he orders a beer, and reads Desi's obituary, and Evan walks inside and yells "Hey bastard, you and I got some things to get straight!" Jesse turns around, and tells his Son "I don't have shit to tell you so screw off!" Evan looks at Gene, as he sits in the corner, and hands him some money, as he punches his Father in the face, and yells "You should have stayed in LaFayette! There's no damn reason why you should be here. If Mama suffers because of you, don't think for five seconds I wouldn't kill you!" Jesse quips "You really gotten stuck up boy. Like Willard and Estelle, think they just own everything. Don't call me Dad!" Evan storms out, as Jesse quips "Good, now back to enjoying what those assholes in Adam's Landing wrote about Desi." 

   At Unity General, Casey stands by the nurse's station, as a woman walks inside, and asks Casey "Where's the Chief of Staff?" Casey points down the hall, as the woman thanks her and heads to Pedro's office, as Casey gets a text, and walks inside the waiting area, where Andy, Summer, and Sage sits, and tells them "Any moment now and she'll be here. Everyone else should be behind shortly." In Pedro's office, a woman walks inside, as Pedro looks at the woman and asks "Aren't you a waitress?" Sassy Shane, from Adam's Landing, walks inside and tells Pedro "And I thought you were in Los Angeles, or dead." Pedro tells Sassy "Well I'm now in charge of Unity General and you've moved up in the world it looks." Sassy nods, as she says "I was in L.A., and came home and my home foreclosed, and headed this way." Pedro quips "Everyone deserves a new start. You're hired. You can start today." Sassy thanks him, as she walks out, and Pedro gets a phone call, and his eyes grow with paranoia, as he responds "Don't even think about it. You will be done for. The game will be finished."The person on the other line warns Pedro "I call the damn shots, and shot isn't even the word for what I have planned." The person hangs up, and Pedro looks down, as he says to himself "Damn."
   Meanwhile at Mitchell's, Alexandra sits in her office, as she pours a glass of liquor, and Colt walks inside, as he asks "So where's my money? I did as you asked?" Alexandra glares at Colt, and tells him coldly "You don't get the full amount. You should have stayed by her side, and you didn't, and I've lost Phillip. So I'll pay you, and be lucky I haven't turned you in for murder." Colt backs up, and yells at Alexandra "What the? You shot the bitch also! If I go down, you are going with me Alexandra!" Alexandra walks over and slaps Colt forcefully, and yells "You are a damn convict Colt Parker. I am a Mitchell. Name Colt name! If it isn't Gore, Caswell, or Mitchell, then well you are screwed, and it's my word against yours, and who will they believe? Me! Status." Colt warns Alexandra "I am going to ignore this, but if I could kill Desi Lane, I could kill you." Alexandra warns Colt "That's something you don't want to do either if you know what's good for you." Alexandra pulls out a briefcase and tells Colt "Open it." Colt opens to find $5,000,000 inside, and his eyes widen, as Alexandra smiles "Hush money."
   Back at Caney Head Chapel, Phillip is blown away at Willard's revelation, and goes "I heard about him. That's my Father?" Willard tells him "It is. And don't hate Alexandra, she did what she had to do. That's a messed up family and luckily you haven't turned out like most of them did." Phillip walks away, as he tells Willard "I owe Alexandra an apology." At Addie's Home, Estelle sits in the living room, as she reads The Exposer, and calls her friend, Davis Lane, in Southpoint Beach, and asks "How are you?" Davis responds "Hurts, but I'm not mourning." Estelle hangs up, as Addie walks into the living room, and tells her Mother "I think I have figured out how I'm going to deal with things Mama." Estelle asks "How is that?" Addie says "Jesse always wanted to be remembered, well he'll be remembered. I just called Caroline." At City Hospital, Sassy walks around, as she says to herself "A new start's all I need.

Colt picks up her corpse, and carries Desi out, as Phillip looks at Alexandra, and says "So all these years, I thought you were my Oldest Sister?" Alexandra has a flashback, and Phillip yells "Say something!" Alexandra looks at Phillip, and tells him "I don't know what to say Phillip. I wanted this to stay where it belonged, in the past!" Phillip yells "All this damn time Alexandra, all this damn time, and you have deceived me!" Alexandra yells back, as tears start to flow from her eyes "Phillip if I had of said something, you wouldn't have what you have now, nor would I!" Phillip screams "I remember Mother and Father having a conversation when I was young, and I walked in the room, and they stopped talking. You were living in Europe with William." Alexandra yells "Yes damnit! I am your Mother! Phillip walks out of Mitchell's, as Alexandra yells for her Son, but Phillip doesn't respond, as Alexandra screams "Desi, I hope you are burning in hell now!"

Bree reminds Summer "Adam's Landing isn't far away Summer. I'll pay you a visit here and there. I'm going to work at Jackson Inc, and I wouldn't leave unless I knew you were safe." Summer starts to cry, as she tells her Sister "I have been horrible to you, and I did you wrong, and yet you stuck by my side." Bree tells Summer "Grandma always taught me to be there for your family, and I paid attention to her wisdom." Summer looks at Bree, and says "I screwed up so much. So many regrets." Bree looks at Summer, as she too gets emotional, and says sternly "We learn from our mistakes Summer. Being here will be good for you. I have already packed and I'm going to head home tonight." Summer hugs her Sister tightly, as Bree prepares to head home, and Summer tells her Sister "Tell everyone in the family I am sorry for how I've been." Bree tells her "The Jackson family stick together, and you saw that. Take care of yourself, and I'm always a text or phone call away."

Jesse stumbles over, and looks at Evan, and snarks "Got my temper too. Proud of you boy. Hot wife, but she could work off the pounds." Willard meanwhile looks at Estelle, as she tells her Husband "I hate that man with all I have in me." Willard tells his Wife "A strong word, but I feel exactly the same way." Addie meanwhile walks up to Jesse, as Angie follows her Mother, as Addie asks Jesse "So you decided to return after all these years? I heard you were in jail? And still a fraud." Jesse tells Addie "You were too tied town to your family, and never understood who the boss was Wife!" Addie slaps Jesse, and reminds him "We are divorced Jesse! You left me with two kids, and nothing else!" Jesse quips "Your problem, not mine!" Angie screams at her Father "Get out of here you bastard!" Willard meanwhile has enough, as has Evan, as Caroline warns her Husband "Keep your cool." Willard and Evan grabs Jesse up, as they carry him out of The Gore Room, and once outside, Willard tells Jesse "I've wanted to do this for over 30 years."

Evan and Caroline heads home, as darkness has fallen on Unity.

Janet holds her Husband, as she silently consoles him, as he feels betrayed and hurt." Meanwhile Alexandra returns home, as she sits at her desk, and sobs, as her phone rings, and it's Colt, as he tells Alexandra "Maybe this will ease you some." Alexandra says to Colt "I don't think anything will make me feel better." Colt, out on the outskirts of Unity, stands a few feet away from Desi's car, with Desi's dead body inside, and Colt backs up, as he pulls out his pistol, and shoots the car, as it explodes, going up in flames, as he tells Alexandra "Does that make you feel better?"

   At Mitchell's, Colt turns the safety off, as Phillip yells "Hold up there. What does Desi know?" Alexandra yells at Colt "Unity Prison has a vacancy! I said kill this bitch!" Desi looks at Phillip, and asks "Have you ever wondered?" Phillip asks Desi, as paranoia grows in Alexandra's eyes "Wondered about what?" Desi laughs "Your parents. I can tell the age difference, and I'd imagine half of this town does as well." Phillip looks at his Sister, as Desi holds the sheet of paper, and says "I will keep this a secret, if some strings are pulled. Like my Son getting pardoned." Alexandra eyes grow red, and she shrieks "Kill her! Damnit I said kill her!" Phillip looks at Alexandra, as he asks "What's on that sheet of paper Alexandra?" Alexandra quickly responds "Nothing Phillip. Nothing of importance." Desi quips "Oh yes it is. Very important. If it wasn't, then this bitch wouldn't be so damn defensive!" Phillip looks at Desi, and turns to Alexandra, as she walks over to her desk, and pulls out a pistol, and aims at Desi, and turns off the safety, as Colt's also aimed at Desi, with the safety turned off, and Desi tells Alexandra "Will it be you? Or me?" Alexandra's silent, as Phillip stares at them, as he yells "What's on that sheet of paper?" Desi holds it up, and Phillip makes an attempt to grab it, as he grows frustrated, and Alexandra glares at Desi, as her finger is on the trigger, as is Colt, as Desi says "Well I guess I'll be the one to tell Phillip the truth."

Daddy?" Estelle tells her Daughter "It's about time you retired from teaching." Addie hugs her parents, and is overwhelmed, and asks her family and friends "Who set this up?" Evan, Caroline, and Angie raise their hands, as Willard tells his Daughter "Estelle and I decided to brace the cold to visit on this occasion, and you have no more excuses for not coming to visit us now." Addie sighs "This is too much, really.." Evan tells his Mother "Mama, Caroline and I have something to tell you, and since the family's here, and everyone in your circle, with the exception of Alexandra, and Miles and Mary, We're finally expecting." Addie rolls her eyes, as she hugs her Daughter In Law, and tells her "I knew it." I just knew you were pregnant last night."

Everyone toasts, with the exception of Sage, as she's under 21, and the celebration begins.
   Meanwhile at Caney Head Chapel, Andy sits inside his office, as Bree walks inside, and tells her Cousin "I'm headed back home." Andy gets up, and asks "Weren't you staying until tomorrow?" Bree looks at Andy, and tells him "I just got a call from Uncle Frank, and Xavier's disappeared." Andy rolls his eyes, as he says "He's out to kill." Bree tells him "I called Summer, and informed her, and she's with Russell right now, so  this is goodbye until I return to visit." Andy hugs his Cousin, as he tells her "I really wish you would stay here, but I know Uncle Frank and the family needs you." Bree nods, and says "And we have additions coming to our family. Grandma must be dropping surprises from above. Cale and Allison's expecting, Aunt Ava has a Grandson. I know Summer and Jake will be fine here." Andy assures Bree "She will. I will take good care of her. Go home and give the family my love." Bree hugs Andy, as she tells him "A few hours seem like eternity." Andy tells his Cousin "If you ever need to escape the chaos, you have a place to come to." Bree looks at Andy, and walks out, as Andy sits at his desk, and looks up and says "Grandma, please watch over everyone."
   At Unity General, Janet walks through the hospital, holding onto her Father, as Miles asks his Daughter "So Mama's going to be ok?" Janet tells her Father "Yes she is Daddy. And I hear tomorrow, you may get to go home with your recovery according to Dr.Ryan." Miles looks at Janet, and tells her "I want to see Mama. I want to be there when she wakes." Janet assures her Father "As soon as Casey signs those papers tomorrow, we're on our way Daddy." Meanwhile at Gene's, Casey walks inside, as she orders a beer, and the bartender and owner, Gene Presley, tells Casey "So I hear Jimmy's got a new ride?" Casey looks at him, and asks "What are you talking about? Have you been drinking and listening to too much Allen James?" Gene laughs, as Jimmy walks inside, and Casey looks at her Brother, as he tells her "Well he's right. Frank Jackson fired me, and I got a new ride." Casey looks at him, and scolds him, saying "You really got the big head when you crashed Cale Stone and Rashad Evans! No wonder he fired you, and it looks like you got your ego bruised as well!" Jimmy tells his Sister "Don't start with me, it isn't over, the season is, but I got a ride lined up!" Casey asks "With?" A man walks inside, and Jimmy tells Casey "This man and I have the same agenda." Casey rolls her eyes, as Jesse Adams, a former stock car driver, with a dark past tells Casey "Hey there baby. Yeah Jimmy and I are about to kick some ass next year!" Casey whispers to her Brother "Do you know there's somebody in this town that will kick his ass if she sees him?" Jimmy asks "Who?" Jesse tells them "I'm checking in at the Holiday Motel by the mall. See you tomorrow Jimmy." Jesse walks out, as Casey warns her Brother "Getting mixed up with Jesse Adams is a mistake!"
   Meanwhile at The Gore Room, Addie, and her children, parents, colleagues, and former students celebrate, as Addie tells all of them "Since we're having this occasion, I guess I should go ahead and make an announcement." Everyone looks on, as Caroline gives her Mother In Law a thumbs up, as Addie tells them "My next book is going to be called "The Story of Caney Head Chapel". It's going to be about the fine history of our church, and it's storied history." Willard tells his Daughter "That's great Addie. I love that idea, Caney Head Chapel was the first building built in Unity, and wasn't for the Chapel, there would be no Unity." Estelle adds "If it wasn't for the Caswells, the Chapel would have died a long time ago." Addie tells her parents "It's going to be a best-seller, and all the money's going to the church." Meanwhile someone stands outside, watching on, as they sneak inside. At Mitchell's, Desi looks at Alexandra and Colt, as both of them are aimed at her, and Phillip's phone rings, as it's Janet, and he ignores her call, as he asks Desi "So what in the hell do you have to say Desi?" Desi looks at Alexandra, and goes "Shouldn't you be the one to do this?" Phillip grows frustrated and reaches for the sheet of paper and grabs it, and reads, as his jaw drops, and yells "What in the hell is this Alexandra?" Alexandra freezes, as she pulls the trigger, as does Colt, as two shots are fired, and Desi falls to the floor..

   Inside Alexandra's Mansion, Desi hides underneath Alexandra's Desk, as Colt walks inside and yells "Where are you bitch?" Desi sits quietly, as she holds a sheet of paper, and looks at it with a smile on her face, as Colt walks out, as he searches for Desi, as he yells in frustration "If Alexandra finds out about this, I'm back in Unity Prison." Desi hears the door close, as she crawls out, and stands up, as she reads the sheet of paper and says to herself "So the queen's hiding a secret? Looks like I have some ammo." Desi sneaks out of Alexandra's Mansion, and three dobermans chase her, as Desi runs to the garage, and hot-wires Alexandra's car, as she escapes.

Sage looks at Andy, and asks "So you're the new Reverend?" Andy nods, and asks "I take it you're Lynn's Daughter?" Sage sighs "Unfortunately so. I haven't been inside this church since I was a kid." Andy asks "What brought you here Sage?" Sage looks at Andy, and asks him "I would like to know if my Maw and Paw will survive. My parents have caused so much damage. My Sister left town, and I look at Maw and Paw's homeplace, and it's scorched because of my Mom and Dad drugging Paw, I'm so angry." Andy puts his am around Sage, and tells her "Your Sister's in Adam's Landing, and you have a safe place here now. Nobody will hurt you, and I am a man of my word." Sage starts to cry, as she tells Andy her life story, as Andy listens silently, and he assures her "I came from a messed up home also. My Mother left my Brother and I with a man that could care less about us, and I've done many things I regret, and I learned the hard away of my errors, but you never can count out someone being redeemed Sage."

Janet stumbles on her words, as Miles looks at his Daughter, and says "Whenever I have been in this Hospital, the entire family's been here Janet. You're the only one here, and my heart tells me something's wrong." Janet covers her face, as Miles tells his Daughter "Is she ok? Tell me!" Janet's phone rings, as she looks at her Father, and tells him "It's Lacey." Janet walks into the hall, and Lacey tells her Mother "Grandma's in surgery now. Aunt Hazel, Kane, and I are praying." Janet tells her Daughter "Let me talk to Hazel." Lacey hands the phone to Hazel, and Janet tells her Sister "Daddy's memory is coming back, and he knows something's wrong with Mama." Hazel takes a deep breath, and tells her Sister "I don't know what to tell you. Try to keep his spirits up, Dr.Jackson made no promises." Janet hangs up the phone, as she walks back inside her Father's room, as Miles asks "So what's really going on Janet?" Janet looks at her Father, as Miles looks at his Daughter, and Janet walks over, grabs his hand, and tells her Father, fighting back tears "Mama had a massive heart attack Daddy. She's in surgery in City Hospital, and we are all praying." Miles starts to cry, as he says "Mama. I can't lose her." Janet holds her Father, as they both cry together.
   Inside the Chief of Staff's office at Unity General, Casey looks at Dr.Pedro Del Mar, and asks "So you're here to take the Chief of Staff position?"

Pedro sighs "I know, and these hands are proof." Pedro shows his hands to Casey, and says "I got the message loud and clear when I was in Los Angeles." Casey asks "So you can't perform surgeries anymore?" Pedro tells Casey 'No, I can't, but I can teach, and that's what I plan to do here. Looking around, you guys could use the guidance."

Meanwhile at Unity Elementary, Addie sits inside her classroom, as the children has been taken to lunch, and Angie stops inside, and Addie asks "Don't you have something to do?" Angie asks her Mother "Are you sure you are ready to do this?" Addie sighs "Angie Angie Angie, you clingy child. I have made my choice." Angie asks her Mother "Why do you always call me clingy Mama?" Addie looks at her Daughter, and sighs "You worry too much and don't take no time for you. Ever considered dating, or finding Mr.Right?" Angie tells her Mother "I'm perfectly content staying single. You're single, and haven't dated anyone since.." Addie stops her Daughter, and tells her "Angie, that's something we won't discuss. Now go back to your classroom." Angie walks out, as Addie heads to the lunchroom, as she leads her children back to class for the last time."

Hazel assures her Sister, as a nurse walks inside Mary's room in the ICU at City Hospital, "I will." Janet hangs up, and holds her Father's hand, as Miles opens his eyes, and says "Where's Mama?" Janet asks her Father "Do you know who I am?" Miles goes "You look just like your Mama Janet." Janet sheds a tear, as Miles asks his Daughter "Where's Mary at?"

   At Unity Elementary, Addie walks inside her classroom, as she has some boxes, and begins to pack her things, as Angie walks inside, and asks her Mother "So you are really retiring?" Addie goes "My mind's made up." Angie gets emotional, as she looks around the classroom and says "Mama, it's going to be so weird without you here." Addie rolls her eyes, as she tells her Daughter "Angie, you can handle things here by yourself. With that Desi in town, and my new book, I want to focus on that. I also think your Brother's keeping something from me." Angie asks her "Like?" Addie goes "Well you noticed that glow with Caroline didn't you?" Angie goes "You think?" Addie puts her hands up, and tells Angie "I'm about to be a Grandma. I feel it, and I am excited for the next phase of my life. Now you should think about your next chapter also." The bell rings, as the students begin to head to their classes, and Angie tells her Mother "This conversation isn't over." Addie nods, as she smiles "It is."

Evan tells Phillip "How about you and Alexandra finally open a store there. It looks like Jim's has taken the empty anchor." Phillip boasts "A huge boost for this town, and Alexandra and I aren't planning to open at the mall." Evan shakes his head, as he asks Phillip, as he reads the deal "So Class is building a store also at the mall? Did Xavier Jackson buy our mall?" Phillip looks at Evan silently for a moment, as he warns him "Don't say a damn word to Kane. I mean it!" Evan yells "You let Xavier Jackson buy our mall?" Phillip quips "It's called business Evan! It's what we do. Had I not, then guess what, Unity Town Center would be dead. Things are coming for Unity, and you best be thankful." Phillip walks out, as Evan shakes his head in disgust, as he yells "Son of a bitch sold us out. Like he and Alexandra thinks they own this town."

I told you who was the Queen of Unity last night. It's not you." Desi yells "I almost froze to death!" Alexandra looks at Desi, and sighs "Aww. And I was hoping I'd have an ice sculpture down here when I walked down this morning. Well I cut the heat on, and I have business to tend to. Have a good day!"

You killed your Mother? My soul mate?" Sage snaps "She deserved it after what she's done. Like you deserve to be locked in this damn jail!" Lynn sighs "If you are here to lay into me, then take your ass on somewhere else." Sage walks over to her Father, with anger in her eyes, as she slaps him in the Face, and yells "Wanna know how Maw and Paw are doing Dad? Maw's in City Hospital in Adam's Landing, at death's door, and Paw's here and regaining his memory. The best thing you can hope for is that Maw doesn't die! If she does, I will kill you."

Desi yells "What's your problem with me? I haven't done a damn thing to you!" Alexandra bends down, and quietly says "Yes you have. You are here, and I don't want you here. Nor does Adam's Landing." Alexandra pulls out Desi's Daughter, Rachel Lane's book, and reads a few excerpts, and goes "Davis Lane was a class act. That man has morals and class." Alexandra continues to read, as Colt looks at Alexandra, as he holds his pistol, and Desi yells "I can read! And Rachel is a self centered bitch!" Alexandra sighs "Must have taken after you?
