The Legacy: Episode 13. The Map To Madness

   As afternoon has arrived, at Brock's Place, Lynn walks inside, as she stops Elizabeth and asks "Where is your boss?" Elizabeth tells Lynn "Your Mom has not showed up today. She called in sick." Lynn asks "Are you lying for her? I know how you help Dallas.." Elizabeth warns her "Do not go there, and I am not planning to make a career as a waitress at this dump." Lynn walks out, as she heads to her Mother's Estate, and says to herself "I've been waiting for this, Mom." At Mosley Manor, Geneva walks inside as Irma, Louis, and Marion walks inside with her as she asks "Can I be to myself? I finally got Monica off of my case for a moment and my soon to be Ex-Husband's likely crying to Scar." Louis laughs, and says "He might be calling Cindi too, but my little girl took after me. She hates him too. Left town yes she did after he and Roger got her fired from the hospital as their lawyer." Marion and Irma pours drinks, as Irma says "I think this bottle of champagne will be used for this long awaited celebration." Geneva tells her Sister "Irma, I'm heartbroken, you, Marion, and Louis celebrate. I said I want to be alone!" Geneva runs upstairs to her bedroom, as Louis looks at his Wife, and Irma and says "Let's go. She's been through enough." Irma takes a sip, as does Marion, as Marion asks Irma "My Husband is outvoted." Irma and Marion toast, and Marion asks her Husband "What if we dedicate this to the end of James Mosley?" Louis walks over, and takes a glass, as they all have a toast, and Louis gets a text and says "I have to go." Louis walks out, as Marion looks at Irma, and Marion goes "That was chief mode." Irma asks "Where did he.." Marion shrugs, and quips "He's a good man, I trust him." Irma laughs, taking a drink "He's a rare one. I don't know, I think there's still a few. Maybe when my Sister gets over the shock we can go on a singles senior cruise." Marion laughs, as does Irma. In Geneva's bedroom, Geneva looks out of her window, and tears roll down her face, thinking of her life with her Husband, and her Grandson, and sighs "Why.."

    At Paradise Lounge, Erica arrives and goes "I got the text." Xavier sits at a table and tells her "Have a seat Erica and let you and I discuss business." Erica goes "I have spoke to Leigh, and said you were keeping busy, so doing P.I. work?" Xavier goes "My Mother retired and is traveling now living her medical dreams since Grandma died, and with everything else, it's easier for my love and I to live our lives and we spend time together a few times a year." Erica goes "She was a tough young woman and you raised a true leader." Xavier gets emotional, and says "Now onto Roger." Erica snarls "I know about what happened in Paris with Daniel Woods." Xavier tells Erica "And I know he took my Daughter's shares in my company so I want them back. You help me, and I help you with Roger. He owes me deeply." Erica grows worried, as she asks "What exactly is your strategy?" Xavier goes "I'll make him disappear." At The Lord Mansion, Lucy gets out of her wheelchair and is greeted by her Grandson and his Wife, as Tabitha smiles, and Lucas tells his Grandmother "I'm so happy you are home." Lucy tells her family "I'm getting back my life. I had my problems after Ronnie died in that car crash and my addictions, and Roger will regret what he has done to me!" Alexis tells her Mother "He sure as hell will!" Tabitha asks her Mother In Law "So where do I stand?" Alexis tells her  "So far not on the shit list dear. Lucas will know." Lucy hugs her Grandson tightly, and Lucy goes "Tabitha helped us." Lucas adds, looking at everyone "I think you're safe from my Mother's warpath." At MeriHealth, Roger paces, as he screams at Bonnie "And you just let that withered old bitch, and my Sister take my Mama out of here? Just stood by.." Bonnie yells "I am a doctor! I also think this was absolutely sick! I played along for my job." Roger laughs angrily "Your job. Your job as my Chief of Staff and sidepiece?" Bonnie slaps Roger as Roger grabs Bonnie by the throat and hisses "You better understand if I go down, you will be joining me in the warm fires of hell." Bonnie pushes Roger off of her and tells him "Get out." Roger says "We'll have this conversation over dinner." Bonnie snaps "Go to hell, and warm off." Roger walks out, and makes a phone call, as Bonnie sits inside her office, with dread in her eyes, and fear.

    At Lord Incorporated, Dallas walks around the office as he has a thought and says "That would be perfect. Capture, kangaroo." Monica walks inside with an envelope and says "Mr. Sullivan, I'm Forrest's Sister, and unfortunately Roger's Ex and James' Daughter. My Mama is my world though" Dallas asks "My condolences on Roger and James." Monica tells Dallas "I have something that belongs to Lord, Roger stole this and I got it off my Nephew's desk. He was raped last night." Dallas gasps with shock "J.R. Mosley was raped? Who did it?" Monica goes "We believe it was Scarlet." Dallas says with empathy "Ahh damn. I got a feeling she was a freak." Monica goes "Professional homewrecker and number one victim." Monica hands the envelope to Dallas, as he opens it, and goes "Thank you. And Roger is on thin ice, ditto for your Dad if he crosses my way, or Erica since she's here." Monica laughs, and quips "I'm flying back home once I leave here but ready to return." Monica turn to leave, as Dallas goes "Stay one more night at most. You're about to find closure, the Lords are about to feel my wrath, and you deserve to have your part." Monica asks "What do you mean?" Dallas and Monica talk as she says "That plan works for me." At Paradise Lounge, Erica has another drink, as she thinks back to her visit with Xavier, and says to herself "Roger is about to really regret this shit, that's for damn sure." At The Holiday Hotel, Xavier walks over to a box, and unlocks it and says "Hello my friend." 

     Back at Brock's Place, Roger walks inside, and Jenna waits on him, as Elizabeth waits on another customer and says to herself  "I can't do it now." Meanwhile Roger looks over at Elizabeth and goes "So you are Dallas' sister? And the two of you are going to take over while my pal James holds your fate." Elizabeth walks over and warns Roger "Don't even try it if you know what's good for you." Elizabeth looks at Jenna, and says "Call me, I'm off now." Elizabeth walks into the back to clock out, as Roger asks "So where's Scarlet, and James?" Jenna says "I do not know asshole, and I think they are in some deep shit. Lynn was just here looking for her Mother, not in a normal way either, which..." Roger goes "Scarlet's got secrets and when Lynn ever learns it.." Elizabeth quietly leaves, and sends a text as Jenna and Roger talk, and Jenna gets unnerved as Roger says "She just pushed me to it ya know. And my Mama needing me more and all just sent me over." Jenna goes "It happens sometimes.", and walks away as Roger gets a text and is quiet as he goes "Hmm."  At Scarlet's Estate, Scarlet and James has an early dinner, as Scarlet laughs "That was so sweet ordering in from Pagoda Garden." James sighs "I used to own that, well I still do if I can find help in this fight." Scarlet sighs "Did Cindi ever call you? She never called me back, and I called someone else." James asks "Who?" The door begins to open, as Scarlet and James grow nervous as Lynn walks inside and says "I've waited so long for this." Marcus follows as Scarlet holds onto James as he asks "What are you doing?" Lynn walks over and grabs her Mother, with anger in her eyes, as Marcus looks at James and warns "You and Roger need to stay in Meriwether or you'll be at the Canady Hotel overlooking the city dump." Scarlet asks her Daughter, as Marcus watches "Why are you doing this? I did nothing.." Lynn snarls "You know what you did. Marcus, arrest James too. We have enough, I said so." James goes "Ahh, what a true Mosley would do. I wish you had knew sooner." Lynn asks as she handcuffs her Mother "Knew?" Marcus handcuffs James as he laughs "You are my little girl." Lynn yells "Screw your rights, both of you!", as she yells at Marcus "Take them both down to the station and they can stay. I gotta go." Lynn leaves, as Marcus tells Scarlet and James "Scarlet you are charged with rape, and James, well we know about the drinks." Scarlet and James walks out, as Lynn sits in her car, and goes "Was he serious?"

The Legacy: Episode 12. The Fast Lane To Freedom

      At Lord Incorporated, Dallas is inside his office, as Roger walks inside and says "Well where is everyone? Thought today would be a good time to have a board meeting." Dallas laughs "Screw you. And I am surprised you are here." Roger goes "I am over here to tell you I gave Mosley a gift. I want you to know first. It'll make your day, and you and your Sister can return out to the midwest." Dallas asks "What are you talking about?" Roger smiles "Open that safe up Sullivan. Look inside." Dallas turns and does as Roger asks as he opens and turns around and asks "So what did you do? I swear you have a death wish." Roger laughs "I outsmarted you. You already lost. Mosley one, Dallas Sullivan and Lord, zero." Dallas warns Roger, getting up from his desk "You and I already know I don't play games, and I sure as hell will not do that with you. Now you keep in mind that is 50/50. Aunt Erica, your auntie I mean, has her share, and good luck bastard, you're about to need it. So where is the deed?" Roger smiles "James Mosley's desk is where it sits. J.R. will love sticking it to you." At MeriHealth, Bonnie yells at Alexis "I am going to be screwed! Listen I did not want.." Alexis yells "You are sleeping with my Brother, and he gave you, a mere primary doctor with little knowledge a position Forrest Mosley held for a very long time. And you are helping my Brother keep my Mother from me and my Sister, and our family. You are a fraud and going to regret this!" In the hallway, Lucy is weak and sits in a wheelchair, as a nurse grows nervous, and Tabitha says "I'm going down the stairs. Watch them." Erica tells her Sister "You are safe now." Erica wheels her Sister down the hallway, as Alexis sees her Mother and her Aunt, and Lucy cries "My girl!" Erica asks Bonnie "And who are you?" Bonnie storms away. Lucy tells her Daughter with tears "I am dreaming." Alexis, with tears says "Mama, you're going home, with me tonight. And Roger will never be a problem." 

    At Eady's Cafe, Irma greets her Sister and Niece with a hug, as Marion also welcomes them as Geneva tells them "Marcus is securing the office and James is going to be locked out. J.R. will have to get a new key and I have something to give to Julia when I see her." Irma tells her Sister with a smile "Geneva, I am so glad you are standing up to that sleazy old bastard." Marion asks Monica meantime "So have you caught up with Marcus? And Cassandra. Let's talk about Geneva and I's little grandbaby." Monica laughs "Marion, Cassie is in college right now and she's so brilliant. She told me she'll be home one day soon." Geneva gets a text meanwhile, as she looks at everyone and the mood changes and says "Forrest just sent me a message. Something happened." At Scarlet's Estate, Julia yells "Tell me what the hell you did to my Son you whore or I'll make a stop on my way home. Or better yet, Irma might relapse and come after you and I'll gladly help!" Scarlet goes "You are a delusional woman. And poor J.R. cannot have Lynn because you said so." Julia yells "Bitch, it's because they are related, and how..." James walks inside as he asks "What's going on?" Scarlet says "Julia was leaving. She said something about J.R. being violated and I'm guilty when I don't know what.." James tells Julia "Get out. Scarlet's been through enough, and.." Julia goes "I swear on my Father's grave you will pay for this." Julia leaves. At Julia's Home, Lynn and Marcus arrive, as they gasp and Forrest says "Lynn, I'm sorry, but your Mom was behind this." Marcus looks at her, as Lynn walks over, and J.R. says to her "I'm sorry, please don't touch me." Lynn gets emotional, and assures him "This was so wrong, and justice will be served." Back at Scarlet's Estate, Scarlet looks at James, as they are in panic mode, and James quips "J.R. was so drunk he wouldn't know." Scarlet nods, and James says "That girl Elizabeth, you could pin her." Scarlet grows quiet, as she and James sits next to each other on the couch, and kiss.

      At Brock's Place, the bar is empty besides Elizabeth, and Jenna, as they smoke a joint together as Jenna laughs "Shit's legal here surprisingly. And the Chief steers clear from this place." Elizabeth asks "The mayor or Lynn?" Jenna shrugs "Both. Lynn is very cool, but she is waiting to score one on her Mother I think." Elizabeth asks "Like locking her up?" Jenna nods, and says "Scarlet is far from an innocent woman and poor widow. She's pregnant." Elizabeth nods, and goes "She's glowing, and she's 50?" Jenna nods, and changes subjects as she asks "Now you must be here for a reason. I know Dallas is running Lord now, and you and him back..." Elizabeth goes "Puff, and pass bitch. Yes I'm here to look after him, and I want my revenge." Jenna and Elizabeth chat, as they are friends, and Jenna asks "Heard anything from Lily?" Elizabeth goes "She's still in Maytubby Falls." A man walks inside, and says "Elizabeth Sullivan?" Elizabeth gasps "Shit." The man says "Your Brother told me this would be a good hideaway and I'm here for a reason." Jenna asks "Are you the almighty..." The man says "Once I was, where is Dallas? I wish to speak to him." Elizabeth goes "Likely at the office." The man walks out, as Jenna and Elizabeth looks at each other, and Elizabeth says "Ok that is completely left-field. That man is a powerful person." Jenna asks "How powerful?" Elizabeth walks over, and pours them drinks and says "If he is here and connecting to Dallas, well I know this much, this is about to explode." Jenna laughs "And what about you?" Elizabeth laughs "Hell this is going perfectly so far."

        At Eady's Cafe, Louis arrives, as Irma and Marion greets him, and Marion tells her Husband "Look out, Monica's here and been with our Son." Louis rolls his eyes as does Irma, as she has concern in her eyes, as she says "That exit from my Sister and Niece sure was odd," The door opens, as Erica goes "We are free!", as she pushes Lucy's wheelchair, and Alexis hugs everyone, as Irma does the same and Erica looks at Irma, and asks "How are you? I heard about it." Lucy smiles "This is nice. I want breakfast." Marion hears Lucy and smiles as she heads into the kitchen, and Louis walks over, and says "Marcus told me." Alexis snarls "When I find my Brother, he's dead Chief." Louis goes "Ahh, he'll be in jail, or you will girl." Alexis goes "I'm serious." Louis tells Alexis "Roger Lord is a fool. He's a failure and has hurt Meriwether." Meanwhile Irma, Erica, and Lucy talks, as Lucy tells them about what's been going on as Erica pulls out her phone. At Julia's Home, Geneva and Monica are in the living room, as J.R. is held by his grandmother, and she assures him "It'll be ok sweetie." Julia walks out of her bedroom, as Monica and Geneva turn to her, and says "I should of let Forrest use this, but.." J.R. asks his Aunt "So Grandpa bought my drinks, all free as he told me it was a family discount. Scarlet was a family friend, yet Lynn and I could only be friends, but no... and Elizabeth Sullivan's ass came along and she.." J.R. gets emotional and angry, as Julia, Geneva, and Monica talk among themselves, all nodding as Julia holds a pistol. At Scarlet's Estate, James lays on the couch with Scarlet, as they have made love as the doorbell rings and Scarlet asks James "Want to ignore it?" Forrest yells angrily "Come on out here and be a real man and bring that whore with you! I'll kick this door down since I'm no longer a Doctor!" James puts on his pants, as Scarlet puts on her dress and Scarlet goes "Let's stay silent.", Forrest stands on the other end, with tears and anger in his eyes. At Lord Incorporated, Dallas looks up, as he goes "Welcome to Meriwether cuz. I'm so sorry about all..." Xavier Jackson tells his Cousin "Life somehow goes on, now let's talk about a few things and Roger Lord, and I'm booked at The Holiday Hotel." Dallas and Xavier begin to talk.

The Legacy: Episode 11. The Next Steps

    It's the next morning in Meriwether, and at the Mosley Manor, Forrest and Monica are in the living room, as Geneva sits and tells her children "I did it. I threw him out of this house, and Lucas will make certain James gets what my Sister did. I am going to fight that man if it kills me. He broke my heart!" Monica and Forrest console their Mother, and goes "Wanna go see Aunt Irma this morning? I'm surprised we have not seen her." Geneva tells them "She stays busy down at the her diner. I'm going to buy her a mansion to replace the one Scar stole from her." Forrest looks at his Sister, and goes "Mama's mad." Geneva asks "Now who's going to break the news?" Geneva, Forrest, and Monica reads a file Monica has received from Marcus, as Forrest says "Dad is going to regret this." Monica agrees, and asks her Mother "What are your thoughts? Do you hate her too like Aunt Irma?" Geneva goes "Never done anything to me. Has the temper and heart of your Grandma Mosley, she was so kind and James is just like his Father. My family was once the players in this town too." Monica goes "Makes me sick to think Roger wiped your name off the hospital." Forrest tells them "Dallas Sullivan's going to restore it." Geneva asks "So you met him?" Monica grows curious as Forrest says "Father has a war on his hands." Monica laughs "If Erica is behind him coming to town, there's more to it." Geneva and Forrest nod, as Forrest catches his Sister up as Geneva sits back and has a moment to get her mind off of her Husband. At Scarlet's Mansion, James wakes up, as Scarlet lays next to him, and gently kisses him and says "So we know the drill." James wakes and says with a smile "You know how to please me better than any woman I know." Scarlet kisses him and asks "Want to go confront Irma or another round with me? No matter what, Geneva is weak." Back at Mosley Manor, Lucas and Marcus walks in as they tell Geneva "We have everything ready now." Geneva grins "Ok everyone here's the plan." Forrest and Monica listen to their Mother, as does Lucas and Marcus as Geneva says "James needs to know how my Sister felt, and I will make that a reality."

   At The Lord Mansion, Alexis walks downstairs as she hears noise and yells "Are you ready to fight Roger? I'm going to kill you.." Erica walks out of the kitchen, and smiles "Oh I know you are my favorite for a reason..." Alexis runs into her Aunt's arms and cries as Erica comforts her Niece and assures her "I am here to save Lucy from Roger, and Dallas and me have discussed ideas. I am sure glad he's here." Alexis tells her Aunt "Thank you. I wish you lived here." Erica goes "I want to stay across the pond, far the hell away from this place. Where is your Sister?" Alexis shrugs "I have no idea." Erica asks "Do you think she and Roger are in cahoots with each other? Her Son is a bona-fide snake." Alexis goes "Let's just go handle business now." Erica says "I already called Oak Hill and that kind sweet Nurse I liked, died last night in her sleep." Alexis' face turns pale, as she says with dread "Aunt Erica, she was our insider." Erica asks "Still down at the hospital?" Alexis nods, as Erica says boldly "Time to settle this shit, once and for all. Today we get answers." holding a pistol, as Alexis' jaw drops and asks "When did you decide to go lethal?" Erica smiles "Dallas gave me a few words of wisdom from his life. I thought of it as I slept, and said why not go rouge? James Mosley does, so we can too dear. Ronald and my Walton were kind gentlemen compared to that sorry ass Mosley and H.H.., I still think he was Mosley's long lost twin the way they were!" Alexis tells her Aunt "Let's handle this and not go back in time." Erica says "Lead the way." They head to MeriHealth. At MeriHealth, in a padded room in the Psychiatric Ward, Roger walks into his Mother's room, as Lucy is lucid and snarls "Oh no. Why Roger? Why? I want to go home.." tears flowing from her eyes, as Roger screams "If I let you free I am done, and then my plans to thwart whatever Auntie Erica and your Sisters are plotting!" Lucy warns Roger "You will be done. I was an addict after Ronnie and I crashed, and I had horrible anxiety. After your Dad died yeah I got in deep. You made sure I was well taken care of Son. Look where I am?" Roger pulls out a needle, and warns "Lucy.." Lucy snaps "That's Mother to you.." Roger slaps his Mother across the face, and hatefully snarls at her "If anybody comes for me, you'll be joining Father, and oh I gave our end of Lord to James." Lucy screams "Go to hell! Leave me alone or let me go!" Roger yells "Doctor? Doctor?" Bonnie walks inside, and asks her fiancé "Mama getting upset again because she can't get her pills? I have a shot for that." Lucy grows scared, as Bonnie yells for a nurse and kisses Roger and says "Your Mom will be fine." Roger leaves with a smile on his face as inside Lucy's room, she is restrained by the nurses and strapped to her bed as Bonnie snarls "You are lucky to be breathing.", as she gives Lucy a sedative, knocking Lucy out.

    At Eady's Cafe, Dallas treats Lynn to breakfast, as Elizabeth also sits with them, as Lynn tells Dallas "Thank you for talking to me into this morning. The coffee is helping after what I'm learning." Elizabeth tells Lynn "You are in law, and I don't trust the law.." Lynn is quiet, as she says "That's why I joined, and luckily here we've had really good people in charge."  Lynn's phone rings, as she says in an urgent tone "I'll be there shortly," Lynn tells Dallas and Elizabeth "I need to go.." Lynn rushes out, as Elizabeth snarls "Bubby, I hate that bitch. I never stopped hearing about the so called love he could not have for some reason." Dallas goes "Queenie you work for her Mother." Elizabeth laughs and says "He was down there yesterday and Scarlet insisted to wait on him. Did you know Jenna came to town?" Dallas asks "What? She's in Meriwether?" Elizabeth nods, as Dallas sighs "Shit." Elizabeth goes "She's better than that girl that was just here." Dallas tells his Sister, as he gets a text "Lynn's going to be busy. Erica is on the prowl." Elizabeth smiles "She's cool as hell for an old woman. She was really chill last night and we talked a little as she apparently has trouble sleeping." Dallas sighs "Well that's what happens when all hell's breaking loose." Dallas and Elizabeth gets up and hugs, as Elizabeth tells her Brother "Thank you for breakfast. I'm going off to work and do my part." Dallas quips "My girl." Elizabeth responds "Damn straight!"

    Meanwhile at Julia's Home, J.R. walks inside, as Julia asks her Son, noticing him looking sluggish "What's wrong? You never came home last night." J.R. looks at his Mother, and says "Mom, I do not know what happened last night. I went down to Brock's, and had some heavy drinks to celebrate Grandpa's coming announcement, and then everything went.." Julia grows furious, as she asks "Are you ok?" J.R. sits on the couch, as he's shaken up and goes "I feel like I've been violated." Julia asks "Who did this?" J.R. is quiet, as he goes with a depressed face "I need a shower. Excuse me." J.R. heads off, as Julia sends her Sister a text, and calls her Ex-Husband, who is driving and asks "What's up?' Julia tells Forrest "You come to my house now. Something's wrong with our Son." Forrest asks "What happened?" Julia goes "Scarlet happened." Forrest is close, and goes "I'm pulling in.", as Julia paces her living room and snarls "Oh you're really digging a hole Scarlet." Forrest walks inside, as she goes "Examine our Son. He's acting off, and I need to leave. Aunt Erica." Forrest hugs his Ex-Wife, as Julia storms out, and Forrest yells "Son?" J.R. is in the shower, with tears in his eyes." At Mosley Industries, James is inside his office, as he looks at the deed to Lord Incorporated with a grin, and says "She cannot take this for damn sure, and she'll live with Irma." James takes a drink, as Geneva and Lucas walks inside, with Marcus and Monica and James asks "Oh, now you're getting gutsy I see? Wanna come down here with Canady's Son and Alexis' Son, and our Daughter, well I think.." Monica slaps her Father, as Geneva snarls "Mosley Industries belongs to me, and I have your deed, so I am firing you and want you out today. If you appear again I'll have you locked up!" James looks around, as Marcus nods, and Lucas says "She has the deed. You gave it to her years ago." Monica adds "I'll take over things and help J.R. out until Mama decides what she wants to do." Geneva looks at her Husband, and smiles "You and Scarlet better think fast. You are going to be over when I am done." 

     At Scarlet's Estate, Lynn walks inside, as she asks "Ok what do you need because I am needed at the office." Scarlet tells her Daughter in a snarky tone "Oh you got your eyes on Elizabeth's Brother. I've seen him, he's hot. Now to why you are here my little girl." Lynn reminds her Mother "I am not bailing you out of any bullshit you're caught up in. I have to live every damn moment as the Daughter of the Whore of Meriwether. My Brother, your Son joined the service and left. You are just lucky I still have anything to do with you." Scarlet yells "I'm not talking about back then. I'm talking about now. I think Geneva's going to concoct a lie on me and I am innocent. Forrest and Monica are influencing her, and poor James is being threatened with his own empire he built by himself. Poor man.. and I am expecting." Lynn goes "Oh shit Mother are you kidding? Pregnant?" Scarlet nods, and Lynn goes "Is the Father James Mosley?" Scarlet yells "I do not know!" Lynn slaps her Mother and yells "It is! Marcus told me he was watching you and James closely for Irma!" Lynn heads to the door, as Scarlet yells "I am innocent and I need help! Irma hates us and she'll take what is yours if she can. She's using her Sister..." Lynn leaves with anger in her eyes, as Scarlet stands in the foyer, and makes a phone call, that goes to voicemail. 

    Meanwhile Erica and Alexis walks down the hallway at MeriHealth, as Tabitha greets them, and Erica says "So you're married to Lucas? You should help us just fine. I am the boss in this family." Alexis sighs "True." Tabitha tells them "She's in one of the padded rooms in the Psych Ward." Erica asks "And is Dr. Payne here?" Tabitha nods, and warns "She is dating Roger. He hired her to be the Chief Of Staff. She answers to him and Roger fired Dr. Mosley." Erica shakes her head, and says "Take me to my Sister, and Roger's girlfriend can deal with it!" Alexis follows, as Erica stalls her Niece and says "Distract your Brother's little fling. Here's my phone and Dallas is on call." Erica and Tabitha heads into the Psychiatric Ward, as Bonnie sees them, and Alexis stops her, and snaps "Your office. With me, now!" Tabitha and Erica walks into the padded room, as the nurses allow entry, one saying "This is just inhumane." Erica walks inside, as Lucy sits cowered in a corner, and is drowsy but goes "Alexis?" Erica says "Sis. It's me." Lucy looks and says "Erica? You're here? Am I having a dream?" Erica walks over, and helps her Sister up, as both have tears in their eyes, and Erica and Lucy have a tearful reunion, as Erica holds her Oldest Sister, as Lucy cries "Will you help me? Please?" Erica gently says, with rage in her eyes "Yes." At Mosley Industries, Roger arrives as he gets a text and goes "Damn! Damnit!" Roger walks into James' office, as Geneva sits at her Husband's desk, as she and Monica pack, and Monica asks her Ex-Husband "And what do you need?" Roger asks "Where is James?" Geneva tells her Former Son In Law "Soon to rival you in terms of losers." Monica glares at him, as Roger is silent, and walks out slowly. At Brock's Place, James walks in, as Marcus and Lucas follow and James yells "I want the two of you the hell away from me! My Wife cannot do this!" Marcus snarls "She did, and I will make sure it's enforced!" Lucas sits at the bar, and tells James "Have a drink, and maybe all will blow over." Marcus leaves, as James reads a piece of paper and Elizabeth walks over and warns "I am just asking for your drink, nothing more." James warns "Listen, I know your boss..." Lucas goes "Two beers, draft." Elizabeth walks off and Lucas warns him "You and Geneva never signed a pre-nup, so with that.." James looks down." At Julia's Home, J.R. and his Father are in the living room, as J.R. tells his Father "Why? I do not even understand any of this shit?" Forrest, with a thought and anger through his body, hugs his Son, as J.R. cries, and Forrest says "It'll be ok Son." At Scarlet's Estate, Scarlet prepares to head to Brock's Place as there's a knock at the door. Scarlet rushes as she yells "Oh James!" Scarlet opens, as Julia goes "Wrong guess, and oh." Julia delivers a blistering slaps across Scarlet's face, and goes "Let's have a little um, girl talk about last night."

The Legacy: Episode 10. The Wars Begin

    Evening has descended upon Meriwether. At Lynn's Apartment, Lynn is quiet, as she looks at some roses, and reads a card as she smiles and gushes as she says "Dallas, this truly touches me.", tears in her eyes as she reads the card and holds it to her heart, as she says "I am scared of this, I'm falling in love." At Mosley Manor, James stands in the living room, with his hands up and pleas to his Wife "Listen honey, your Sister is a bitter old bitch. H.H. left her for Scarlet because Scarlet could give my old pal what he wanted." Geneva yells "The Millers. Her Mother was a whore, you were with her I recall." James takes a deep breath and goes "She is gone and what you are reading are lies. I can make this better. I only have eyes for you.." Geneva turns off the safety, holding a pistol and snarls "You lying bastard. You and Scarlet are together and I always felt there was more." Geneva walks around, holding the pistol. James grows scared, as Geneva asks her Husband "Do you think our Daughter came to town because she wanted to? She was married to that bad spawn off the Lords, and you adore him. You put him ahead of our Son. Now you are pitting our Grandson and your heir against his Father. You are a monster. I have the proof, and I have something for you." Geneva walks upstairs as she yells "You stay right where you are." James stands, as trash bags begin to fall down the stairway, and he grows confused, with fear in his eyes. Upstairs, Geneva says quietly "You lying son of a bitch." 

   At The Sullivan Farm, Dallas walks inside as Erica and Elizabeth sits on the back porch, as Dallas goes  "Well now there's another photo for target practice." Erica looks at Elizabeth, and says "Your Sister is helping me with my feelings before I see everybody." Dallas asks "So why did you return?" Elizabeth tells them "I'll pour us some drinks." Erica smiles, and tells Dallas "I like Elizabeth. And she and I talked before you arrived and told me of J.R.'s bullshit. I never liked him much, nor James." Dallas asks "So you hung up a photo of Roger on my column..." Erica goes "Remember this will always be my family home, and I gave it to you to help me save Lord Incorporated, and really, my family from Roger. I'm dealing with him." Elizabeth returns with some drinks, as Erica tells them "My Sister is currently in the hospital. Roger has her completely doped up on sedatives and he is over her and Ronald's estate. He is a damn snake and when Ronald and Lucy had a car crash, Ronald died but Lucy was injured and took some time for her to heal. When she returned from my Chateau in France, she suddenly got hooked on sedatives and pain killers and I never understood how or why." Elizabeth shows empathy, as does Dallas, as they sit beside Erica as she says "Now let me state I enjoy my Chateau, running my late Husband Walton Lord's side of Lord International, and our Son Adam is doing great helping me. I know Alexis can handle Roger, Julia is weak." Dallas nods in agreement, and says "I already warned your Nephew, and James, and J.R." Elizabeth asks "Oh?" Dallas nods, as Erica tells Dallas "I knew you were the one to save Lord from falling apart." Dallas sits back, and grins "We are going to be just fine as a company, and I think we'll have Mosley Industries too the route it's going." Erica nods, and says "Go for it." Erica gets up, as she finishes her drink and tells them "I'm off to my old room. The flight wears me out nowadays across the pond." Dallas tells her "Everything will be fine." Erica stands at the stairway, and says to Dallas and Elizabeth "The two of you are my kinda people, so is Alexis and my Sister when I can get her out of Roger's sight." Erica heads off and calls it a night, as Elizabeth asks Dallas "And where do I sleep since she's in my old room?" Dallas shrugs "Queenie, we do not live in a trailer, or a small apartment. There's other rooms, this is home. We have made it." Elizabeth hugs her Brother, as she goes in a gentle tone "Bubby, you have given me heaven."

    At Brock's Place, J.R. lays in a bed upstairs, naked as Scarlet seduces him as he's passed out and has a camera on in the upstairs room. Downstairs, Roger and Bonnie sit as Jenna brings them drinks, and Jenna tells them "J.R. is upstairs with Scarlet right now." Bonnie looks at Roger and asks "So what do I do? Tabitha's going to squeal, and are we in this dump with my old friend serving drinks and more to hide?" Roger tells his fiancée "Dear it's what's best. I know you wanted to go to Valentino's and talk, but nobody besides James comes here, and J.R. as well." Bonnie asks Roger "Let's just have that talk, do you feel an attraction or had a fling with the whore of Meriwether?"  Roger laughs "Right of passage in this town.", with a laugh as Bonnie changes subjects and asks "So what is our Plan B on your Mother? Oak Hill? I cannot promise your safety and life with Alexis lurking and Tabitha.." Roger snaps "Damn! Shut up and drink! I have Plan B in mind. And it's the ultimate way to secure my position." Bonnie asks "And what is your idea?" Roger smiles "Something like they do in pets my dear." Bonnie grows scared, as Roger laughs "Then we are set and my Sisters, and Dallas Sullivan, they can go to hell. Then we'll travel over to Paris for a romantic takeover of Lord International. My Aunt's not going to resist my charm." 

    At The Lord Mansion meanwhile, in the dining room, Alexis sits with her Son and Daughter In Law, along with Julia and Forrest as Forrest tells them "My Father and Roger are very close. They are meeting up and we do not know what Roger gave Dad." Julia says "I tried to call our Son, but no answer. He might be doing damage control." Alexis boldly says "Aunt Erica is in town. She's at the old family farm. She wants to stay there and said tomorrow she's seeing Mama." Tabitha reminds her Mother In Law "Now you know our luck today. How will she do any better?" Alexis looks at Lucas, as he tells his Wife "Erica and my Mom are very similar. Aunt Erica is more ruthless." Alexis reminds her Son "Lucas, when we team up just be ready to represent us in court if we get arrested." Lucas looks at Forrest meanwhile, as he asks "So Uncle Forrest, are you and Aunt Julia back together?" Forrest and Julia look at each other, as Alexis laughs "They are quiet." Forrest and Julia looks at them and goes "Who knows? We just might.. be." as the two kiss, and for a moment everyone feels some happiness before Forrest gets a text from his Sister, and says "Marcus and Monica met up and she got more ammo." Lucas sighs "I think your Dad needs to brace himself." All agree as Julia goes "I hope Irma influences Geneva." Alexis laughs "With Aunt Erica here, James and our Brother are going to run like hell, and maybe Aunt Erica should know.." All grow quiet, and nod their heads.

    Night has fallen, and at Brock's Place, Scarlet sends a text, as Jenna takes photos of J.R.'s naked body in the upstairs bedroom on the bed, as Scarlet runs over, as J.R. starts to wake up and kisses him aggressively as Jenna takes a photo and J.R. mumbles in a drugged tone "What just happened?" Scarlet says to him "You and me just made love. That's what just happened." At The Sullivan Farm, Dallas and Lynn exchange texts, as Elizabeth has also called it a night as Erica walks downstairs and asks Dallas "I just got this text from my Niece." Dallas looks at it, as Erica goes "Well looks like I came back to watch karma, and be karma." Dallas assures her "Erica, I assure you we will handle their asses, for good. I don't play by the rules. I have my own.", walking her over to a closet and opening as she smiles "Maytubby Falls must of been a rough place for that many tools." Dallas laughs "My ol' pistol works just fine." Back at Mosley Manor, James stands in the living room, as he looks at trash bags, and suitcases as Geneva is upstairs, holding her pistol and saying a prayer to herself as James walks in, and asks "So are you leaving my house? What in the hell is this? Have you lost your mind like Lucy Lord?" Geneva calmly goes "Back downstairs James. And read this." Geneva hands some papers to her Husband, and James asks "Geneva? Oh I never thought you'd hurt me like this.." Geneva yells "Hurt you? Hurt you? I have given you nearly 60 years of loyalty. I raised our kids to be a hell of a lot better than you are for sure. My family gave you our family business, and all these years there was Hope Miller, Scarlet Miller. I always wondered why Lynn favored you a little. It hurts me that our Grandson's so smitten with a girl that he can never have or see. Why James?" James yells "Listen you old woman! Irma is nuts! She and our losers of children have.." Geneva snaps "Oh you done went and did it now. Get out of MY house James Mosley! James yells as they walks out into the stairway, as Geneva aims her pistol "I said get the hell out of my house you sorry son of a bitch!" James walks backwards, as Geneva snarls "You hurt me in so many ways I can never remotely understand and I have suffered in silence. Now, you grab your bags and get out!" James yells "Make me!" Geneva fires a shot, and walks to the door, and yells "Out! Here.." Geneva throws the suitcases, trash bags out the front door and looks at her Husband and warns "You find comfort with your favorite whore and new baby on the way. I am taking the family jewels." Geneva knees James in the groin, and adds "And that is an extra besides this home, and Mosley. Goodbye James!" Geneva pushes her Husband outside, and locks the door, as James tries to open, in pain and says "Please, let's try and discuss this.." James tries to unlock the door to no avail, as Geneva sits inside, on the couch with tears in her eyes, holding her hands on his face, as James stands outside and shakes his head and sends a text.

The Legacy: Episode 9. Letting It Go

   It turns into early evening in Meriwether, and at Eady's Cafe, Marcus arrives as Forrest, Monica, and Julia sit and he tells them "Well here is all the information on your Father and Scarlet, and some info from a friend down at your former second home Dr. Mosley." Forrest laughs "First time I've been called that in years." Monica asks "So have you settled down yet Detective?" Marcus asks "Didn't you marry Erica's Son Adam?" Monica laughs, as Julia says in a serious tone "So what did you find?" Forrest and Monica looks at them, and says "Ms. Irma made sure to cover every base." At The Court Bistro, a local coffee shop in Meriwether, Louis and Marion sit and drink coffee, as Lynn walks inside and Louis invites her to sit with them, as Marion tells Lynn "I want the whole story on that date. And I know about Marcus doing that background work. I like this guy! James will not know what's coming. About time someone showed his old ass once and for all he's not the king." Louis laughs, and assures his Wife "Well I don't give a damn anyway, Lynn was perfect, and she earned her spot." Irma meanwhile walks in, and sees them as she laughs "Chief Canady, I am sure James paid you to hire her to be a Chief of Police. Lynn's Mother is a whore who destroys lives. This spawn was a jailer, then a rapid rise?" Lynn yells at Irma "I am tired of your constant discrimination to me over the fact Scarlet is my Mom! And your assumptions on who is my Dad. I'm sitting with who I consider him." Irma warns Marion "The Chief wants your Chief..." Lynn slaps Irma, as she says "I have had enough." Irma backs off and throws her coffee at Lynn, and snaps "I have had enough of you, your Mama, and your family! And it's all about to be out in the open, mark my damn words!" Irma storms off, as Lynn goes "She's such a mean bitch to me. I hate that woman!" Marion sighs "She hates you only because of Scarlet, and she is a victim of hers." Louis sighs "Lynn, you need to understand that Irma got the raw end of that deal. She and H.H. were high profile, and she miscarried three times to give him a child. H.H. and James were just alike. I could not stand them, and I hope Sullivan delivers that blow to Mosley he deserves." Lynn is quiet, as Marion looks at her, and Lynn says to herself "I think I found the one." 

    At Lord Incorporated, Dallas has returned and sits in his office as he has some thoughts and goes "I'm coming J.R.. You cannot live in denial." In Alexis' office meanwhile, Alexis is on the phone and says "I'll see you soon. Hope it was a good flight.", as James storms inside and yells "Dallas! Come out here you son of a bitch!" Alexis snaps "Pardon me James? What is going on? And have you seen my Brother? The son you wish you had." James snaps "I'm here to see what that bitch brought to town." Alexis slowly goes "Watch your mouth about my Aunt Erica. And you can leave." James goes "Not until I see the mystery man for myself!" Dallas has watched unknown to James, as he overheard and has loosened up his tie, as Alexis tells James "I hear it's getting hard living a double life these days James." James snaps "Your Sister told you a bunch of damn lies." Alexis quips "Typical for you. Same song and dance." James yells "I am not here to discuss me, but here to discuss your new CEO coming to my office and putting his hands.." Suddenly a tie is thrown around James' neck, as Dallas chokes him and asks "Looking for me Mosley? Want to get hot with my Sister old enough to call you a Great-Granddaddy you dirty old bastard?" Dallas calmly pulls the tie, as Alexis is silent and takes a drink from her bottle of wine, as Dallas releases James, and James goes "You are a cold man. To greet your superior that way. Soon you will be calling me boss. I will come for this! Roger is a true leader. Dallas you are trash." Dallas asks calmly "Who's trash? Talking about you and your Grandson?" James warns Dallas "Ever lay hands on me again I will kill you." Dallas laughs "I want to see you try that. Bring it. I'm not the one you want to play with." James laughs "Watch your ass Sullivan! Alexis, you, Julia, and Erica really screwed yourselves." James walks out, as Dallas takes a deep breath, and says "That's enough Mosley for me today." Alexis asks "Did you go visit J.R.? If so please.." Dallas goes "I delivered a similar message to your Nephew, without the tie twist." Dallas sighs "I'm heading to the farm now, and do some more research." Alexis tells him "I never saw anyone before do what you just did to the most powerful man in town." Dallas goes "And not the last.", as he leaves, and Alexis goes "Aunt Erica knows exactly what she is doing."

     Meanwhile at Brock's Place, people have arrived as Scarlet yells out "Happy Hour!", and flashes the men inside and smiles "I got them all done up for all of you beautiful men." J.R. meanwhile drinks, as he says to himself  "Your ass has lost Dallas. This isn't Maytubby Falls." Jenna Henry walks up, as she asks "Another drink J.R.? Scarlet said your Grandpa told her it's all on him. Cool Grandpa." J.R. slurs in a drunken tone "He's the best. He kicks ass and we're going to dominate this town unlike some bastards i know." Meanwhile Jenna walks over and tells Scarlet "Another one." Scarlet smiles, and says "Now you let me wait on him and go entertain everyone else, show your stuff if you want. It gets tips." Jenna gives a stunned look, and walks off and passes J.R. and says "Scarlet's going to take care of you. She insisted. See you soon sexy." Jenna walks off and Scarlet walks over and says "You been through a lot since you left." J.R. tells Scarlet "The only woman I ever wanted is Lynn." Scarlet says "You cannot have her, you can have me. Don't believe what anyone says about me and James, we are only friends. Nothing else. Now here's a special I made just for you." J.R. takes a drink, and goes "Wow that packed a punch." Scarlet smiles, and asks "Larger cup sweetie?" J.R. nods, as Scarlet stands behind the bar, and pours a powder into J.R.'s mixed drink. At Lynn's Apartment, Lynn walks inside and thinks of Dallas, and is silent as she walks over and pours herself a drink, and has a thought. At MeriHealth, Bonnie hangs up the phone, as she holds two test results, and Marcus walks inside and goes "Ok I need those." Bonnie asks "And what's your price?" Marcus answers, holding handcuffs "You, and Roger in a jail cell together." Bonnie hands the results to Marcus and asks "How do you sleep, with you and your Father ruining Meriwether?" Marcus boldly tells Bonnie "Your boyfriend, and his friend James has ruined this town, and it'll be fixed in time and I cannot wait for it. But believe I can't wait for you, Roger to slip because your ass is off to prison." Marcus walks out holding the results, as Bonnie gets a text. Outside, Marcus makes a phone call, and says "Meet me at Paradise Lounge."

     At Eady's Cafe, Irma walks inside, as Louis and Marion are inside and Irma warns them "Do not remind me of my encounter with the little slut." Louis looks at his Wife, as Marion asks "Did you really go to that level? I mean this will for sure change things!" Irma tells them "It'll confirm it." At Julia's Home, Julia and Forrest sits in the living room, as Forrest hangs up the phone, as Julia looks at he Ex-Husband, and goes "Good thing Chief is popular and Bonnie knows better than to try a Canady." Julia asks "What did he say?" Forrest gets up, and goes "Looks like we're having some drinks and learn some more on my Dad." At The Springs Club, Monica is in the lounge as Roger goes "Well look who returned to Meriwether, welcome home sweetheart." Monica's eyes turn red, as she turns to her Ex-Husband and slaps him forcefully, and says with anger "You are a real piece of shit Roger, and you still are. Screw off." Monica leaves, as Roger gets a phone call and presses ignore as he grows anxious. At The Sullivan Farm, Elizabeth rolls a joint and goes on the back porch, as she grabs her bottle of liquor and glares at J.R.'s photo hanging on the column and gets out her pistol and shoots at it, as a woman yells "Who the hell are you and what in the hell is this?" Elizabeth turns as she goes "And who in the hell are you?" The woman says "You must be Dallas' little Sister he told me about. I'm Erica Lord, and I am the reason you live here." Elizabeth asks "Why are you here?" Erica goes "I want to speak to your Brother before I see my family, I'm here to kick some ass dear girl, apparently you have similar intentions." Elizabeth asks "Like your nephew J.R.? I hate him with all I have. That bastard!" Elizabeth takes a puff off her joint and takes another drink, as Erica is silent as Elizabeth shoots the photo again, and smiles "This makes me happy, and happier to know he is gone." Erica goes "I can make that happen sweetheart." Meanwhile James returns to Mosley Manor, and walks inside as the lights are off except the bedrooms upstairs, James looks around and quips "I'll destroy Sullivan, and Louie best enjoy being mayor with that Son and that bitch of a Sister In Law." James hears a click, as Geneva says calmly with rage inside of her, as she turns on the lamp, holding a pistol "You've hurt me for the final time you son of a bitch. I know. I know it all." Geneva aims as tears rolls down her eyes, as James holds up his hands, and Geneva says with anger and hurt "James Mosley you are a worthless piece of shit and you will regret this deeply."

The Legacy: Episode 8: The Epic Burn

     At Mosley Manor, the house is empty as Geneva walks inside to notice it empty, as she sends a text to  Irma, and walks to the stairway as she calmly heads into a bedroom, and looks around, and opens a closet door, and pulls out luggage. At Brock's Place, James walks inside as Elizabeth greets him and asks "What would you like?" James tells her "Looking at what's in front of me, I'll take that and some bourbon." Elizabeth backs up, as she goes "Listen I don't know who you are, but I am not that kind of girl." Roger arrives, as he also looks at Elizabeth, and James tells Roger "Scarlet's new waitress could be a honey for you." Roger laughs "Now I date the Chief Of Staff of MeriHealth." Scarlet walks over as she tells Elizabeth "I'll take care of these two gentlemen." Elizabeth laughs "Gentlemen, bullshit." Roger asks Scarlet and James "Do you know who that girl is? I think you need to fire her Scarlet." Scarlet asks, as does James "Why?" Roger says "She's J.R.'s ex-fiancée." Scarlet looks at James and then looks at Roger, as Elizabeth watches and sends a text, saying "That son of a bitch's Grandpa just made a pass at me." At The Springs Club, Dallas sits and drinks a glass of vodka as he gets the text and sends a reply, as Elizabeth walks around as James looks at Scarlet and Roger and says "Irma's getting nosy. She hired Louie's Son to spy on us Scarlet." Scarlet yells "That old bitch can't mind her business? She still upset she couldn't give H.H. a child and he left her for me?" Roger assures James "Geneva has a comfortable life, she's not at the age to fight now." James nods, and asks Roger "Seen Monica?" Roger asks "Your Daughter?" James takes a drink, as Scarlet walks over and sits on James' lap and kisses him as Elizabeth takes a few photos and sends them to her Brother. Back at Mosley Manor, Geneva is in the bedroom, as she has returned with trash bags.

    At MeriHealth, Alexis and Tabitha are inside of Tabitha's office as Julia walks inside, and Tabitha sighs "Your Mother is gone. I called Dr. Payne.." Julia says "Roger's girlfriend?" Tabitha nods, and says "She's gone though I have an idea where. Roger truly thinks he runs this hospital." Alexis sits back and laughs "Shit, he has no idea." Julia goes "Forrest Mosley will be back in controls soon, and this hospital will be run correctly." Tabitha sighs "I miss him being here. His Father's another piece of work." Alexis and Julia agree, as they ask "Where could our Mother be?" In the Psychiatric Ward, Lucy is in a room with the door locked, as she is completely out cold. At Brock's Place, Bonnie has arrived as James and Scarlet welcome her, as she kisses Roger, and laughs "Well how's the secret?" Elizabeth, unknown to them, as all but Scarlet has a drink, and James laughs "Well Canady's trying to find out, and.." Bonnie snarls "That was why I was seeing him." Scarlet adds "I've bumped into him too a few times. Irma must of put Eady's up for collateral to pull this." Bonnie looks at Roger, as she hands him her phone, and Roger tells James and Scarlet "We must go now." with a feared tone in his voice. Roger and Bonnie quickly leave, as James looks at Scarlet, and they stare into each other's eyes as they kiss. Back inside, Elizabeth tells Scarlet "I have to leave if that's ok." James texts his Grandson as Scarlet nods, and Elizabeth walks out, as Roger and Bonnie has left and sends another text to Dallas. Back at MeriHealth, Alexis and Julia walks out of Tabitha's office as Julia tells her Sister "Roger is up to something dark. He wants to make damn certain we do not see Mom. How could you ever think anything of him?" Alexis sighs "I have to do what the paper says sissy. Mama wrote it and under the influence and Roger swooped in. Why I came back from helping Aunt Erica." Julia and Alexis hugs, as Julia sighs "I hope Roger gets what's coming." Alexis goes "He is. In time little sister." In Tabitha's office, Tabitha writes a text and in capital letters says "This is sick, and I will put a damn stop to it!"

     Meanwhile at Mosley Industries, J.R. sits inside his office as his Father and Aunt are inside as they update him on what's going on as J.R. snaps at them "Get off this deal of trying to tarnish Grandpa's great legacy, and I know all of you hate Scarlet and Lynn, so just stop with this shit! If Grandma has any problems I'll blame you Dad, and Aunt Monica, why are you even here?" Monica snarls at her Nephew, as Forrest is silent "Because my Mother is in pain over your Grandfather and his bullshit J.R.! That is why. I enjoy Corinth much better than this town!" Forrest adds "And I have met Dallas, and he's a good man Son.." Monica quips "I heard of him. He's what Mosley needs running it besides your Son and apparently my Ex-Husband." J.R. looks at his Aunt and says "Screw you." and asks his Father "Are you serious? You like that cold son of a bitch that threatened to kill your own child?" Forrest tells his Son "J.R., Dallas is not like you, or me. He's like my Father with a heart. He at least does not hurt his family like your Grandfather. Shit he would prefer Roger to be his Son over me anyway. Dad really got a kick of Lord Incorporated being broke from his little deal with Roger, why the hell do you think he is so well off?" Monica laughs "I took everything and sold the property of our home after I had the thing bulldozed." J.R. yells "I have work to do, and I am not entertaining this! Leave my Grandpa alone and the two of you are out for the money." Forrest and Monica grow angry, as Forrest warns his Son "You are turning into your Grandpa, and reality will bite your ass Son, just wait." They leave, as J.R. opens the file again and grins, as he takes a deep breath and says "Ah yes, you have no idea.." J.R. suddenly hears "Besides the idea, where is your Grandfather you sorry son of a bitch?" J.R. gets up, as he goes with fear in his voice "Oh shit, you finally showed your face." Dallas answers "Ok I am here to speak to your Grandpa, I have a message, and one for you as well." J.R. tells Dallas as he has a quick flashback "Look, it hurt me too. It ended and I did not.." Dallas yells "Shut up! You and that whore. Denial. You should enjoy the air and this office, while you can. Now where is Grandpa?" J.R. goes "He is not here. And you do not hurt my Grandfather you bastard." Dallas walks up to J.R. and grabs him by the collar  with anger in his eyes, and snarls with hate "Tell that bastard to never mess with my Sister, and I am not going nowhere. I will watch your ass burn and light the stake myself!" Dallas steps back and walks out, as J.R. is silent, and sends a text, and decides to leave.

    At Lord Incorporated, Alexis arrives as she gets off the phone and walks into her office as she makes another phone call, that goes immediately to voicemail, and Alexis hangs the phone up, and opens her wine bottle and says with a grin "Oh Brother, you are damned." At Eady's Cafe, Forrest and Monica meet up with Julia, as Julia and Monica hugs, and Julia asks "How is Cassie doing in Paris?" Monica smiles "Just wonderful, and the hell away from your Brother like he cares anyway. Best thing I did was divorcing him and leaving town with your Aunt when she made me that offer." Forrest laughs "And you got married to Julia's Husband too..." Monica nods "That's right, and very happy." Julia asks "Did you ever hear Roger talk about Mama? I know you and Roger lived with her and Daddy." Monica says, as Forrest gets a text "No, but after your Dad died, she got on the pills after that accident and Roger suddenly turned into doting Son since you and Forrest and that whore..." Forrest sighs "I do not need no reminders!" At The Springs Club, Roger sits in his suite, as he checks his laptop and says as he looks at his phone "None of you see it coming, and will just have to accept my new position in this town." At Brock's Place, James and Scarlet sits at the bar, as James tells her "I'm off now to the house and visit Geneva. Let's hope her Sister did not get into her head." They kiss, and James leaves, as Scarlet looks around the bar and says to a waitress named Jenna "Jenna, when J.R. arrives, I'm waiting on him." Scarlet walks behind the bar, and looks at bottles, as J.R. walks inside. Meanwhile at Mosley Manor, Geneva continues to pack things into trash bags as she is silent, and has thoughts going through her mind, as she gets a text from her Sister, to no answer. James drives down a street, as he makes a phone call and says "We need to meet and discuss a problem."

The Legacy: Episode 7. The Before And After

    It's the next morning in Meriwether, and at The Sullivan Farm, Dallas sits on the back porch, setting up plates as he has cooked breakfast and Elizabeth walks outside, and hugs her Brother, and says "Good morning, as Dallas goes "Go fix yourself up something. Thought you deserved this after everything." Elizabeth walks into the kitchen, and returns outside as the siblings drink coffee and Dallas asks his Sister "So you went exploring?" Elizabeth goes "I did after I shot some holes in the photo on the post." Dallas asks "What are you plotting? I already told you when I took this role that he would not be a problem. So don't make it my problem." Elizabeth tells her Brother "Dallas, he is my problem. He cheated on me and I lost something I may never have as a result. I am not going to let him enjoy his life as I feel like pure hell." Dallas goes "Look Queenie, I understand, but we are new here..." Elizabeth snarks "And you went out with the Chief of Police last night. Getting all nice and cozy.." Dallas goes "Oh stop it. It was a date, and she is a great person." Elizabeth changes subjects, and asks "So what do you want me to do since I'm here to stay. It'll keep my mind off of..." Elizabeth pulls out her pistol, and sighs "Putting a bullet between J.R.'s eyes. " Dallas tells her his plans for her, as Elizabeth says "You had me at the start." At the Meriwether Police Department, Lynn walks into her office, and goes "Well Chief, what a surprise." Louis sits behind Lynn's desk, as he laughs "I saw you and the new guy, uh Dallas Sullivan I think. Looks like love is blooming. Please tell me so I can make my bet count with my Wife." Lynn laughs and says "I like him, but just the first date. He is a real gentleman. Made me feel special." Louis tells Lynn "Chief, that is love you're feeling. Is he into anything illegal? I know there's concern." Lynn sighs "This town never shuts up. To this day people look at me and think of my Mother. I am not my Mother." Louis laughs " Lynn you are not a thing like Scarlet Miller and I can see ol' Sullivan's a good guy, and I miss this old office, but I'm now Mayor Canady." Lynn laughs "You'll always be the Chief." Louis grins, and walks out as Lynn sends a text to Dallas, and once he replies, Lynn is quiet, as his message makes her cry a tear of love as she goes "I was certain his type was all gone, and here's my prince charming."

    At Eady's Cafe, Roger sits at the bar and has breakfast as Marion waits on customers and Roger bangs his cup on the counter, as Marion talks to a customer at the end of the bar as she hands him an envelope, and he says "Mama tell Miss Irma to keep this. She needs it more than me. It's my side job next to working at the MPD." Marion tells her Son, Detective Marcus Canady "You know Irma will not.." Marcus says "Then do something with it. But remember ask her first." Roger yells "Yeah, your Husband can't stop you now from going to jail for stealing tips. And I want coffee!" Marcus walks over, as Marion tells her Son "I have this, now go to work." Marion walks over, and takes Roger's empty cup and throws it against the wall and says "You can go down to the Big Dog Diner and get some coffee. I'm not waiting on you." Roger goes "Before long, I can buy this and put Irma Hill out of business, and certainly ol Chief and his Son has dirt.." Marion snarls "You will reap what you sow Roger Lord. My friend at the nursing home has been filling me in. Many friends. I've done told your Sister." Roger asks "Which Sister?" Marion points to the door, as Roger gets up to leave "The one who would kill you and not have a second thought. Now who would that one be hmm?" Roger gets angry and storms out, as Marion watches on and says "Oh it won't be long before he gets a rude ass awakening." At the Oak Hill Nursing Home, Alexis and Julia arrives, as Nurse Sarah tells them "Your Mother is at MeriHealth." Alexis and Julia asks, both with shock "Why is our Mother in the hospital?" Nurse Sarah sighs "Well I was not here last night but it's reported she had an episode and John Doe felt she needed to be placed in the mental health ward at the hospital." Alexis screams "Roger has a damn surprise coming his way! I made the call, and she's on her way." Julia looks at her Sister, as Nurse Sarah rushes to help someone else, and goes "Aunt Erica is on her way?" Alexis nods, and goes "Mama will be ok, and Roger will think I'm a sweetheart afterward." At Meriwether Health (MeriHealth), Lucy is locked in a room, and lucid as she says "Please my girls come save me." Bonnie walks inside and smiles "Oh good day Mom. You look well." Bonnie holds a syringe, as Lucy gets emotional.

    At Mosley Manor, Forrest arrives, Monica greets her Brother with a hug, and asks "Where's Mama and did Dad come home?" Monica shakes her head, and says "He did not." Forrest tells his Sister "Aunt Irma hired Marcus and his team to follow him." Monica laughs "Aunt Irma is not one to be messed with. I feel for Scarlet. Aunt Irma took Mama to Lucas' office." Forrest grows curious and goes "So is she thinking of finally..." At Lucas' office, Geneva sits in Lucas' office with Irma by her side, as Irma holds her Sister's hand and Lucas tells Geneva "Mrs. Geneva with the marriage without a prenup, he can take everything." Geneva boldly says "I don't like to cuss, but the hell he will. He's taken enough from me." Irma adds "So what can my Sister do to prevent James from pulling the H.H. Hill swing on her?" Lucas is curious before going "Ah, gotcha Miss. Irma. Well I think with the proof, you could win." Geneva is quiet, as she gets emotional and says "I do not believe at this stage of my life I'd be doing this.", as Lucas pages his aid and says "Draw up the paperwork." Irma assures Geneva "James Mosley will not know what's coming." At Mosley Industries, J.R. sits in his brand new office, formerly his Grandfather's, as he reads a file with his name on it and opens it, as he grins. Back at Mosley Manor, James walks inside with a smile on his face, as his Son and Daughter look on, and James tells his Daughter "Come give Daddy a hug! I have missed you." Monica walks up to her Father, and slaps him across the face, as Forrest tells his Father, trying to contain his anger "We know Dad. We know you're sleeping with Scarlet again." Monica snarls angrily "And Mama will not be in this constant state with you no more Dad!" James yells "I think both of you are drunk losers. Scarlet's kids are successful." Forrest yells "Listen you son of a bitch, I was the Chief Of Staff for Meriwether Memorial until you came in and helped Monica's Ex-Husband get control so I could run your empire I gave less than a shit about, any of us besides you and my Son sad to say." Monica adds "And you are so damn smug Dad. I mean how can you keep doing this shit to Mama?" James looks at the files, as he walks over, as his children glare, and James laughs "Irma hired Marcus Canady.. Well I can hire someone too, and get that bitch, and them out of the picture." Forrest goes "Mama will own you when this is over." James turns to his Son and Daughter, and pulls out his pistol, and goes "Get out of this house you ungrateful pieces of shit.", aiming his gun at his Son and Daughter, as Forrest and Monica yell "You want a fight, you got it!", as they leave, and James heads upstairs, putting up his pistol and a deep breath, and a smile on his face.

   Meanwhile at The MPD (Meriwether Police Department), Marcus walks into Lynn's office, as she tells him "Did you find anymore info on what your Mother told us?" Marcus says "I think we all know John Doe, he was drinking coffee at Irma's today when I was there for breakfast." Lynn shakes her head, and sighs "Roger Lord and James Mosley are the two of the most vile human beings to live." Marcus goes "An understatement." Lynn tells him "At least the new man in town will help us I believe." Marcus looks at Lynn, and says "I did my homework on Dallas Sullivan, and here is his file." Lynn says to him "Hand it over to me." Lynn opens it, and starts to look as she says "Oh my God!" Marcus looks at her, as she gets emotional leaving Marcus confused. At Brock's Place, Elizabeth walks inside, as Scarlet goes "So can you start tonight?" Elizabeth says "Oh yes Miss Hill I can." Scarlet smiles and goes "Good, oh if J.R. Mosley happens to appear, I have him so stay away." Scarlet walks away, as Elizabeth is silent. At Lord Incorporated, Dallas sits inside his office, as Julia walks inside Dallas' office with Louis, as Louis says "So this is Dallas Sullivan, the man of Lynn Miller's dreams and Meriwether's mystery man." Julia tells Dallas "Chief Canady's the city mayor. We ran into each other and he wanted to meet you." Louis tells Kate "Now carry on and let me and Sullivan have a talk." Julia walks out, and calls her Sister, and asks "Anything from that bastard?" Alexis, at MeriHealth, at the nurse's station, snarls "Nothing yet. Roger is going to regret this shit." Alexis hangs up on her Sister, as Julia stands in the hallway at Lord Incorporated and back at MeriHealth, Alexis sees Tabitha and boldly tells her Daughter In Law "Do not try me and do as I say. Take me, to my Mama or I will run your ass out of my family and more." Tabitha takes a deep breath." Back at Lord Incorporated, Dallas sits at his desk, as Louis sits across from him, and says "I know all I need to know about you, and we are on the same team. But Lynn is like a granddaughter to me and my Wife, so if you hurt her you deal with the Chief." Dallas and Louis stand up and shake hands as Dallas assures Louis "I think she's amazing, and deserves true happiness." Louis nods, and says "You're ok, welcome to Meriwether Sullivan, you are home now."

The Legacy: Episode 6. The Second Burn

   Night has fallen upon Meriwether, and at Valentino's, Dallas sits at his table as he takes a drink of vodka, and looks around the private room and notice another couple inside, as he observes and takes another drink. At the door, the host greets Lynn, as he says "Mr. Sullivan is awaiting you, and said to hand you these." The host pulls out a bouquet of roses, and Lynn's heart starts to flutter, as he leads her to the private room. The host walks inside and says "Mr. Sullivan." Dallas gets up from his chair, and looks Lynn up and down and says "Once again, the Chief of Police who should be on a runway." At the table where the other couple sits, their eyes widen, as the man and his wife look at each other, as his wife says "Well Chief, looks like you have some competition for that title now." Mayor of Meriwether, and former Chief of Police, Louis Canady, turns to his Wife, Marion D. Canady, and says "Let's focus on our date and let her have fun. Lord knows that girl deserves some happiness." Marion whispers "Poor thing was raised by that old whore Scarlet. Do you even know who her Daddy is Canady?" Louis sighs "Woman, drink that wine and back to me and you.", bending over to kiss his Wife, as both watch on quietly. At Dallas and Lynn's table, Lynn gushes "Candlelight, and this wine that only the rich can remotely afford.." Dallas goes "Now I'm sure every man in this town and all over have wanted to be with you." Lynn grabs the wine, as Dallas gently gets up, and says "I'll handle that." Lynn goes "A gentleman too. When I heard about you, it was Dallas Sullivan, a cold blooded man with a mysterious past." Dallas whispers "Sounds like you have some mystery of your own. Like why are you not married? And who told you I was cold blooded." Lynn smiles "This place might be growing, but it still has a small town feel. Everybody knows everybody." Dallas and Lynn are greeted by a waitress and place their orders, and assures Lynn "Nothing is off limits with me." Meanwhile Louis and Marion watch, as Louis tells his Wife "I knew she'd do well as Chief of Police, and I think Sullivan might be the one." Marion watches and flirtingly says to her Husband "I have some ideas of my own, Chief." They kiss, as Dallas and Lynn drink and talk with stars in their eyes.

       At Mosley Manor, Irma sits inside the living room, holding her Sister, as Geneva cries "That bastard lied to me, lied to our whole family." Irma murmurs "He's my in-law, and a son of a bitch. It's time Geneva. Where is my fighting Sister?" Geneva looks at her, and goes "I feel defeated Irma. That whore's got her claws into him again, and I have the proof. I warned him against it." Irma goes "If it was not for our family, James Mosley would be a poor man. H.H. left me for that whore, and then turned and took everything from me besides Mama's café." Geneva looks at her Sister, as Irma looks at Geneva, as Irma asks "What do you want to do?" Geneva puts the papers together and says "I warned him." At the former H.H. Hill Estate, located in Downtown Meriwether, James and Scarlet have a toast, as she says "My last sip for awhile, and to now being the most powerful man in town." James and Scarlet kiss, as he says "My Grandson running the now called Mosley-Lord, and our family too." Scarlet smiles, as she says "We need to celebrate." James and Scarlet begins to kiss, as she goes "Let's go upstairs." James and Scarlet heads upstairs to her bedroom. At Julia's Home, Forrest and his Ex Wife talk, as Julia says to her Ex Husband "I am worried about J.R.. He's already showing signs of being just like your Father." Forrest sighs "He has hurt my Mother for the final time. He thinks he's all powerful, but I think Dallas Sullivan will be his karma." Julia asks "So you met him?" Forrest nods, and says "He was at Brock's Place, and we talked. He is very down to earth, and he offered me a position." Julia asks "Lord?" Forrest says "I can do what I love again, be the Chief of Staff of Meriwether Medical Center once I am back in charge. He's very fair." Julia asks "Who came up with that new name? It's really gone downhill since you left..." Forrest agrees, and goes "Who else? Roger Lord. He thinks he's in charge, but I think he has a battle on his hands with your Sister, Dallas, and Erica. Does she even know?" Julia asks. changing subjects "Let's spend the night together tonight. We need to really talk about our family." Forrest and Julia looks at each other, as they hold each other's hand.

    At Paradise Lounge, Lucas, J.R. and Lucas' Wife, and Meriwether's top doctor, Tabitha Lord, sits together at the bar and has drinks, as in a corner, Elizabeth is silent, and watches and rubs her stomach as she says to herself "Let me catch you alone." Elizabeth leaves cash on her table and returns to her Brother's farm unknown to anyone, as Tabitha tells her Husband "Everything is set now, and I'm getting promoted if Dr. Payne signs off. It's good to be home." J.R. takes a drink, and goes "Lynn is seeing Dallas.." Lucas tells his Cousin "You and Lynn cannot see each other. Why can you not see that?" J.R. gets angry and yells "Just what the hell do you mean?" Tabitha breaks them up, as she tells Lucas "Let's go home and we can catch up. Your cousin is not my favorite person in the world." J.R. slurs in a drunken tone "You think you are something else, but you and your friend Dr. Payne and Merthealth or whatever can kiss my drunk ass." Lucas and Tabitha heads to their townhouse, as the bartender walks over and tells J.R. "You're cut off now." J.R. yells "Fine with me anyway! And screw the tip!" J.R. stumbles out, and once outside goes "Lynn belongs to me, and I'll find out why she can't be mine." At The Springs Club, Roger lays in a bed in his private suite, as he says, taking a drink "I'm staying right here as they are going to really come after me now. But we have everything very well under control baby." Dr. Bonnie Payne, Chief Of Staff of Meriwether Health, and owner of Oak Hill Nursing Home lays next to him, and gives him a kiss and says "It will pay off greatly for both of us." Roger asks Bonnie "Is J.R. still wanting you, or is he still longing for Lynn?" Bonnie says "Listen old man, I am old enough to be your Daughter, but don't be so insecure because we're going to run this." The two begin to make love. At The Lord Mansion, Alexis sits in the living room and takes a drink of wine and smokes a cigarette as she's on the phone and goes "Someone needs to reign that bastard in or I'll kill him myself Aunt Erica. He's trying to kill your Sister." In an unknown location in Europe, Erica Barber Lord sits in a chateau, and says "I'm going to be in town soon. And I will handle Roger and save Lucy." Alexis tells her Aunt "He's up to something." Erica tells her Niece "I have to go, but that is why I hired Dallas, to handle Lord for us, and your Brother. Love to you and Julia." They hang up, as Alexis takes a drink, and puts out her cigarette and calls it a night.

      Back at Valentino's, Louis and Marion have left, as now it's only Dallas and Lynn inside, lost in each other's eyes as they share their life stories with each other, and Lynn tells him "That had to be tough to lose both your Mom and Dad, and Grandmother at the same time, and then raise your Sister. You are truly amazing. I was wrong about you." Dallas asks "What was your first thought?" Lynn laughs "That you were going to be an evil businessman like James Mosley or his Son who has chased after me since elementary school." Dallas asks "J.R. Mosley?" Lynn nods, and says "I wish I could say my Mother is dead, but no. But one mystery I will share is my Brother Jason, nor me know who's our father due to my Mother being the.." Dallas nods "The mistress of Meriwether." Lynn laughs "Trust me she earned more than just that title believe me. If you talk to Geneva or Irma, they hate me only because of my Mother. My Brother joined the military, and left this place. I miss him.." Dallas sighs "My Sister is my heart, but she is a handful and she's joining me. I vowed as long as I could, she would be looked after. That's what family is about. She's all I have left." Lynn asks "Would you like to come to my place since it's closing time?" Dallas tells her "I got a text earlier, so I need to head home and would not want to be interrupted." They walk out, and stand outside looking into each other's eyes, awaiting their cars. 

     At Mosley Manor, Geneva is awake, as she cries and Irma has went to bed as the door opens, and Geneva yells "James! Finally..." A woman says "Mom, I came as soon as..." Geneva cries "Monica! Oh thank you baby. Thank you.." Monica Mosley, James and Geneva's Daughter holds her Mother, as Irma gets up and greets her Niece with a hug as well, as Monica asks "Where is Daddy?" At Scarlet's Estate, in Scarlet's bedroom lays Scarlet and James, their clothes on the floor, as Scarlet assures him "Oh Geneva is so passive she's not studying your late nights at work. And if she does, I have some ideas." James asks "What we discussed earlier?" Scarlet kisses him, as they look at each other, and she smiles "Yes dear. Exactly." Back at Mosley Manor, Monica sends a text to Forrest, and tells her Mother and Aunt "Forrest and Julia's together tonight. And once again the whore of Meriwether.." Geneva cries, as she says "I hate that whore, I hate her family. The sight of them makes me sick." Irma looks at her Niece, as they tell Geneva "We're here, so go rest now." Geneva hugs them and heads to her bedroom, as she and James sleep separately. Irma looks at her Niece, as Monica asks "So what did my Daddy do?" Irma walks over, and says "I hired a P.I. my snooty friend recommended." Monica looks at the files, and anger fills her body, as she goes "Daddy's paying for this." Back at The Sullivan Farm, Dallas parks his SUV, and texts Lynn, who's returned to her apartment and replies "Tonight was the best time I've ever had. Thank you for everything." Dallas sends her a heart, as he locks the SUV and heads inside, as he sees his Sister, and Elizabeth is laying on the couch as she wakes and sees her Brother, and runs into his arms, as both cry and hug each other tightly as Dallas says gently "Welcome home Queenie." Elizabeth cries "I'm safe now Bubby.", as she cries in her Brother's arms.

The Legacy: Episode 5. The Past Is Present

    As afternoon begins to descend into evening in Meriwether, at Brock's Place, Forrest has walked in as Scarlet sits at the bar, and goes "What brings you here? I'll happily buy." Forrest sits down, and goes "I will just have a beer, and let us get some understanding since my Son's home." Scarlet asks, grabbing a bottle "What's to discuss? Worried they might date? No Forrest, never would I allow that to happen though me and your Son, who is a stud... well that is different." Forrest's eyes turn red as he says "I am watching you very closely. Are you and my Daddy catching up lately?" Scarlet goes "Why no. I have reformed and after H.H. died, I bought this bar and turned it into a success, my Son is a success, and Lynn is the Chief of Police." Forrest laughs "It'll never wipe away the fact.." Scarlet goes, looking over "A new person's here. Time to go to work. Now go back under Mommy and your Auntie Irma's apron. No surprise Julia divorced you." Dallas turns, as Forrest has never met him, as Dallas looks at him, and says "J.R. Mosley's Father in the flesh, and I enjoyed yall's little trip down memory lane. My memory is very damn sharp." Scarlet asks "Are you that new guy Alexis Lord hired to save Lord Incorporated?" Dallas nods, as Forrest goes "I know you and my Son have history. My Mama, me, and Julia.." Dallas says "So to just cut down to the facts, how's your relationship with your Father?" Scarlet tells Dallas "This drink is on me." Dallas says "Straight vodka. Best in stock. And one for Forrest Mosley too." Forrest asks "So how is things at Lord?" Dallas asks "How about Mosley?" Forrest sighs "I used to be Meriwether's premier doctor at Meriwether Health, well the new name for the city's hospital. Chief of staff but when the sale happened I quit in protest." Dallas asks "Are you resentful?" Forrest goes "Why do you ask?" as Scarlet listens as the two men begin to talk, as Forrest says "Dad favors J.R.. and he considers me a loser." Dallas asks "Wanna work for Lord? You can check my past, and since Lord owns Meriwether Health, we can discuss that protest." Forrest and Dallas shake hands, and Scarlet sends a text. 

   At Paradise Lounge, an upscale bar in Meriwether, James sits inside, as Roger sits across from him, as James asks "So do you have it?" Roger jokingly goes "I will have to get it from that bastard's vault. Dad built it.." James sternly says to Roger "Now if you want me to help you, get what is in your Mama and Daddy's vault!" At Oak Hill Nursing Home, Alexis, Julia, Lucas, and J.R. are in the meeting area as Alexis says "The CNA said Mama's getting her hair done." Julia warns her Sister "I hope you are not helping Roger and your Son keep our Mother in this damn place Alexis!" Alexis snaps back, as J.R. and Lucas glare at each other, tension builds as Alexis snaps "Listen you goody two shoes, I would never do this, and never accuse your Son of this, unless I knew for sure of course. Either way, you better watch what you say before I beat your ass right here sissy." A nurse walks over, and says "Your Mother is asleep and her guardian said no visitors." The Lord family look down as Alexis asks the charge nurse "Nurse Sarah, who is Mama's guardian? I thought it was a joint deal." Nurse Sarah says "No sweetie it isn't. The person listed as John Doe." Julia looks at her Son, Nephew, as Alexis turns to them, as they all say "Roger!"  Back at Paradise Lounge, Roger and James shakes hands, as James goes "You are full of surprises. I see an office at Mosley-Lord for you my friend.", as James holds a large envelope. Roger heads off as James walks out, as Irma bumps into him and goes "So I see you're still a sorry piece of shit." James asks his Sister In Law "Why are you at the bar Irma? Thinking of H.H. driving you to uh, drinking?" Irma goes "No you asshole I am getting a meal. Let me just tell you how I feel about.." James stops her and says "I know you think I'm a low life." Irma goes "I know something you and my dear Husband have in common. Now go and be a husband to my Sister in your twilight years. Bastard." James walks out, as he shrugs it off, and Irma sends her Sister a text.

   At The Sullivan Farm, a car pulls into the driveway, and someone gets out, and takes a look at the homeplace, as they open the back door with a smile on their face, and begins to pull suitcases out and says "Wow." At Lynn's Loft, overlooking Downtown Meriwether, she looks down upon the city from her bedroom window as she prepares for her date. There's a knock at the door, as Lynn throws on her robe to answer to find J.R. on the other side, and asks "I notice you appear to be dating." Lynn says "I am, and tonight I go out with Meriwether's mystery man." J.R.'s eyes turn red and he yells "Dallas Sullivan!!! You are going out with a ruthless bastard who has his eyes on my downfall and destroying this town? What in the hell is wrong with you Lynn? Are you turning into a whore like your Mama..." Lynn grows enraged and slaps J.R. to the ground and says "You need to chill out, and you and I do not have a relationship. Friendship is rocky." J.R. warns "This man is evil Lynn! He is not here to help anyone other than himself, to come to me." Lynn grows curious, and asks "Do you have problems? Like a trip down to the Antioch Sanitarium problem? You sound paranoid." J.R. answers "I want you Lynn, and we are meant to be..." Lynn sighs "Let's talk later. I have to finish getting ready, and see about talking to someone." J.R. leaves, as Lynn returns to her bedroom to finish preparing for her date. J.R. meanwhile gets a text, and fear overcomes him. 

     At Valentino's, Meriwether's oldest Italian restaurant, Dallas arrives, and tells the host "I would like to order the best wine, and vodka in stock." The host nods, as Dallas asks "Any private areas?" The host says "We have a private room sir." Dallas says "Here's a nice start, and some directions for Chief Miller when she arrives." Dallas hands a note to the host as they head to the private room. At The Lord Mansion, Alexis walks inside, and yells "Roger? Where in the hell are you?" Alexis hears silence as she walks around with anger in her eyes, as she searches for her Brother. At Brock's Place, Julia walks inside, and Scarlet quips "Your Ex was here earlier." Julia snaps "A damn gin and tonic! And a waitress! I am not in the damn mood for..." James arrives, as Scarlet looks at James, who looks at his former Daughter In Law. and whispers to Scarlet "Meet me back at your place." James quickly exits, as Julia asks "So did I see who I thought?" Scarlet snaps angrily "Shut up and drink. And get over the fact I've had her whole family. That withered old bitch does not scare me." At Mosley Manor, Forrest walks inside, as Geneva sits in the dining room and cries uncontrollably, as papers sit on the table and Geneva tells her Son "After all these years.." Forrest looks at the papers, and dread fills his eyes, as does anger and rage. At The Sullivan Farm, someone walks outside, and opens a beer and taps a photo of J.R. on a column, and says "You will meet our child real soon, real damn soon." Elizabeth Sullivan shoots the photo, and takes a drink of her beer, and unloads another shot. At Oak Hill Nursing Home, Roger walks into his Mother's room, as Lucy is lucid and snarls "You will regret this when the girls find out what you are up to you monster." Roger bends down, as Lucy feels her medication and is too weakened to stand and snarls "James owns Lord now Mama. And I control you." Tears rolls down Lucy's eyes, as she goes "Roger, I hate you. I wish you had died at birth..." Roger grabs his Mother, as the night nurse walks inside and yells "Bastard let me see you do that shit again and you will not stop me." Roger sticks a needle into his Mother's arm, and hisses at the nurse "Remember who is her guardian, and your fate.", and walks out as he gets a text from someone.

The Legacy: Episode 4. The Double Sabotage

    At The Springs Club, Roger sits at a table, as he gets up and goes "Mr. Mosley. I'm glad we can chat." James motions a waitress and tells Roger "So you and Dallas Sullivan met today you said?" Roger nods, and goes "He's cold James. You and I have a fight on our hands." James boldly and sternly reminds him "Roger Lord, you are a con-artist, and spoiled like Forrest. But I was not your Father to entrust you running my company into the ground. His Son is so much like me! We've had a great.." Roger yells "Listen! I want you to understand that my Sister thinks Dallas walks on water, my Aunt feels the same, she was the one that hired him!" James takes a drink of his whiskey and asks "And why were you not considered?" Roger goes "Wasn't for me there would be no Lord Incorporated!" James bends over, and says "Better not forget your family Roger because Alexis, Julia.. they are doing fine. But from what I gather, we have another me?" Roger takes a drink of his vodka, and quips "I think we got someone that needs to be sent out of Meriwether." James and Roger makes a toast, as the agree, and they begin to talk, as Roger gets a text, and tells James "I have to go check on Mama. Her dementia is so bad now it's sad.. I need to check on her." James gets up, as he shakes Roger's hand and pats him on the back, and says "You have my support. Don't tell my former Daughter In Law." Roger agrees, and they head off their separate ways.

    At Lord Incorporated, Alexis smokes a cigarette inside her office, as her Sister fills her in on her visit with their Mother, and Julia goes "Alexis I think something's off..." Alexis snarls "Our sorry Brother's got control and she did it herself. She always adored him and then when she started.." Julia asks "When Daddy died, she did have a problem." Alexis adds "And I bet he's using it to keep her in that damn nursing home! He's going to deeply regret crossing me and I have every weapon ready to bring him down!" Julia asks "Where can I help?" Alexis laughs, as she puts out her cigarette and pulls out her bottle of wine "Dallas Sullivan has already started." Julia asks "And where is he? I noticed he's gone." Alexis quips "I told him to check things out, and the family farm that he owns now." Julia smiles, and goes "I hope you are right." Alexis tells her Sister, passing a glass to her "And now we discuss how to save Mama." Julia goes "Call Lucas." Alexis gets the phone.

    At The Sullivan Farm, Dallas walks downstairs, as he sees someone standing in the hallway and asks "What the hell are you doing in my home and why just walk in? I do not play that shit, I am my own law." Lynn goes "Well first, I am close to the Lords, and the people in this town and second, you might should consider keeping the door shut. Anyone like the Meriwether Chief of Police might walk in and look around while the new owner fixes it up." Dallas asks "Did curiosity drive you here? Did Roger tell you I warned him today not to cross me and here to arrest me?" Lynn says "Well Roger is an asshole, so good job." Lynn laughs, and says "Just don't shoot him. I wouldn't want to arrest you now." Lynn checks out Dallas, as Dallas asks Lynn "Why are you in law enforcement? You should be a model. I think I've never saw a more beautiful woman before my eyes." Lynn grows soft and says "That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me. I am Lynn Miller. I am also single." Dallas laughs "Well Chief Miller, I am too. How about Valentino's for dinner. You deserve it and I'd like to know you." Lynn, with stars in her eyes, asks "Dallas Sullivan, are you just good at warming a girl's heart?" Dallas says in a gentle tone, with stars in his eyes, goes "I am sincere. See you this evening?" Lynn nods, and walks out, as Dallas walks over and pours himself a drink, and walks outside and goes "She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

   At Mosley Industries, J.R. sits in his new office, as he checks the reports and Geneva sits at his desk and warns her Grandson "You need to remember to stay humble now that your Grandpa is stepping away and putting you in charge." J.R. laughs "I know Grandma. you helped him start this." Geneva nods, and goes "And I am your boss, so don't follow that old man's footsteps." J.R. asks "Why Grandma? He's a success at life! The two of you and the love, our family to me is the top one in Meriwether because we are stable." Geneva asks "Would you place money on it?" J.R. is quiet as she adds "I would win, so don't try it. I wanted you to just know that I do not want you to let this go to your head. I will not allow James Mosley 2.0. to show up." J.R. gets up, as he gets a text, and sighs "Damnit." Geneva asks her Grandson "What?" J.R. sighs "Grandma Lucy. Mom's called a family meeting." Geneva ad J.R. hug, as J.R. rushes out, and Geneva walks out, and calls her Husband, to no answer. At Lord Incorporated, Lucas arrives as he is Meriwether's top attorney, and Alexis tells her Son, as Julia's also in her Sister's office "Has Roger mentioned anything? I know the two of you are close unfortunately." Julia goes "Lucas is just a con artist as Roger." Alexis snaps back "Same for your Son!" Lucas yells "Back to business. Got things to do. What about Uncle Roger and his control over Grandma. "Julia says "You and my Son can take Roger down with Dallas leading our company." Alexis checks her watch, and tells them "I am going to visit Mama." Alexis walks out, as Julia glares at her Nephew and warns him "If you know more, you better be ready to talk." Julia walks out, as Lucas makes a phone call and follows.

The Legacy: Episode 3. The First Burn

    It's morning in Meriwether, and at The Lord Mansion, Alexis sits in the kitchen, as she texts Dallas, as her Son walks into the room, and goes "You may need to finish that cup of coffee and go down to your office. I'm going to see Grandma today for you." Alexis asks her Son bluntly "Why?" Lucas goes "Uncle Roger." Alexis rolls her eyes." At Julia's Home, located in Downtown Meriwether, Julia and her Son have breakfast, and J.R. tells his Mother "Lynn is still the same as ever. We talked for hours." Kate smiles, and says "Lynn is a good girl, but her Mama is another tale." J.R. laughs, and says "I have to head to my new office now Mom." Julia hugs her Son, and reminds him "Things are going to get tense, but do not give into your Grandfather, or even my Brother who is likely scheming as we speak." J.R. nods, and says with uncertainty "I know Dallas Sullivan, and I can't promise nothing if we bump paths." Julia is silent, as J.R. heads to Mosley Industries, and Julia walks out with dread in her eyes, saying to herself "Damn."

   At Mosley Manor, Geneva sits in the living room, as Forrest asks his Mother "So any sign of Dad?" Geneva tells her Son with doubt "I'm worried Son. I know this pattern." Forrest sighs "Mama I can find out what's going on and we both know we can do that." Geneva says "I might not want to know. He really knows how to turn on the charm, but I know the real man under that façade." Forrest asks his Mother in a serious tone, holding her hand and noticing her anxiety and fear in her eyes "Do you think Dad's..." Geneva answers "Oh yes. Hell yes he is Son. And once I have proof, he'll answer to me this time for certain." At Mosley Industries main office in Downtown Meriwether, James sits inside his office as he reads some files, and looks up, as he goes "I think you need to leave now before my Grandson arrives. I've got you well taken care of, so always remember that, and keep me informed on the developments." The two look at each other, as the other person goes "Last night and this morning was wonderful." James smiles "For an old man I still got it I guess you could say." The two kiss, as the woman walks out and James returns to his desk, as J.R. walks inside his Grandfather's office, and James tells him "So what is your history with Dallas Sullivan? We need all the ammo we can get with his track record." J.R. goes "Grandpa, I am not afraid, and neither should any of us of Dallas, he will always have his hands full." James asks "What do you mean?" J.R. begins to tell his past to his Grandfather, as James goes "Son, this is going to be one hell of a fight if he's like you say." J.R. warns "The man is cold. Ruthless." James nods, and says "I want to meet him." J.R. tells his Grandfather "Let's look around my new office you promised me." James gets up, as they head to J.R.'s new office and they talk some more.

    At Lord Incorporated, Dallas walks into his office, as he has hung up his phone and asks "What in the hell are you doing in my office?" Roger sits behind Dallas' desk, and asks "What are you going to do Mr. Sullivan, or Dallas?" Dallas reminds Roger in a direct tone "I am here to start anew, and save your family's company and position it to defeat the Mosleys, a goal we all have." Roger kicks his feet up on Dallas' desk, and laughs "My late Father gave this to me but my Aunt, and my Sisters had other ideas. The inn is full Dallas. I want you to turn the reigns to me and go back to wherever you came from. I will be in control as I rightfully should be." Dallas is quiet, as he coldly says "I love hearing threats from losers. I know all about you. And your family made the right decision. Now I have work to do so leave or I'll lose my temper." Roger gets up, and walks up to Dallas, and gets in his face, and says "You do not scare me Sullivan," Dallas pulls out his pistol and sticks it to Roger's stomach and asks "Want to think about what you just said?" Alexis arrives as Roger looks at his Sister, and snarls "You and Julia are going to regret this." Roget leaves angrily, as Dallas shakes his head, and warns Alexis "Your Brother is trouble. He will hurt this mission we have." Alexis agrees and says "Mama is adamant on our family being together, only reason Roger is still here at this point." Dallas asks "And your Mother?" Alexis goes "She lives alone. I check in. Leave it alone." In the Oak Hill Nursing Home, located in Meriwether, Julia walks in a room and says "Mama it's Julia." Lucy Lord turns to her Daughter, as she asks "Julia? My Mama would not walk in a room and say her name to me. Who are you?" Julia is silent, as she places flowers on a table as Lucy Lord, the mother to Roger, Alexis, and Julia has dementia. Tears roll from Julia's eyes, as Lucy turns and goes "Julia!" Julia answers "Mama?" Lucy asks "Well who wouldn't it be?" The nurse walks in, and tells Julia "She needs rest." Lucy goes "I want to talk to Julia. Julia?" The nurse snaps at Julia "Get out or be banned!" Julia walks out and makes a phone call.

    At Eady's Cafe, Geneva sits in a booth, as someone walks over and laughs "Now you know your money is no good to me." Geneva's Oldest Sister, Irma Hill sits and asks "So you are depressed I notice? Forrest and I talked earlier for a moment. Your Husband wants to meet the new guy in town." Geneva sighs "Irma, I don't like my feelings." Lynn walks over and asks Irma "Once again your waitress mentioned my police discount is not accepted here but Mayor Canady and D.A. Alford were? Irma tells Lynn in a disdained tone "I am talking to my Sister, and you shouldn't of lied to me." Lynn sighs "I am not my Mother's keeper!" Lynn storms out, as Irma asks "Have you ever?" Geneva shakes her head, and says to her Sister "Every single time. I know there's something. I wish I knew." Irma tells her "I need to go cash out, and make sure things are ok for me to take us out and forget our problems." Geneva laughs "You'd make our Mama proud with Eady's. Her and Daddy put their all into this place, and I met James here. A poor kid who worked for Ronnie Lord's Father on their farm." Irma goes "I think the new guy is living there." The two start to get distracted, as they walk into the kitchen. At Mosley Industries, Forrest sits inside his Father's office, and looks at some papers and is silent, as his Father and his Son return and James pats his Grandson on the back, and goes "J.R. Mosley is just like me thankfully. Like your office Son?" Forrest's eyes turn red, as J.R. goes "Yes Grandpa. I'm excited to take over things and you and Grandma can finally travel and enjoy some time to yourselves." James gets a text, and says "I have a meeting." James looks at his Son, as Forrest is quiet, and James leaves as J.R. asks his Father "What's with that look?" Forrest gets up, and says "Just do as the bastard says, Son." Forrest walks out. James is on the phone as he gets off the elevator, as at a place in Meriwether, an upscale hotel and restaurant called "The Springs Club", Roger tells James "We can team up and I'll help you."

The Legacy: Episode 2. Flashbacks And Divisions

    As afternoon turns to evening, in downtown Meriwether, the Founder's Day celebration has concluded, and everyone has gone their separate ways. At The Mosley Manor, located inside downtown Meriwether, James and Geneva sits in the living room with their Son and Grandson as Forrest asks his Son, Forrest "J.R." Mosley Jr. "Son do you think you have what it takes to run Mosley Industries? You are too over the top." J.R. tells them "I did my homework." James asks his Grandson "Did Ronald have issues? Mental issues? He hired this man who we know nothing.." Julia stops James, and says "My Aunt found this man while she was on her travels. She is in my Mother's position, and J.R., you will refrain from any shit regarding Dallas and whatever it is you are hiding." Forrest rolls his eyes, as Geneva asks her Grandson "So you told me you and Dallas met already?" Julia warns all of them, as her Ex-Husband gets up and stands next to her "Dallas is running Lord, and I am scared as hell." At Lord Incorporated, Alexis walks into Dallas' office, as he sits at his desk, and hands over files and tells her "Read those. Just finished printing what I wanted you to know out because I am warning you, Julia will just have to take a deep breath and pray her Son.." Alexis stops him, as she goes through the file, and asks "So you have a Sister?" Dallas nods, and goes "Our parents died when she was a kid and I was in high school. We could almost pass for father and daughter. Her name is Elizabeth, and she will soon be here in Meriwether, now back to.." Alexis takes a deep breath, and goes "Dallas, the Mosley family are our rivals, and Forrest and his Mother are fine people really, but I cannot say the same for James, or Julia's spoiled Son J.R.." Dallas gets up, as he goes "Well when I see him, I will not hurt him unless he comes at me first." Alexis looks at him, and says "You are the mystery man of Meriwether. Now go to our former farm outside the city and if you need me for anything, I'm here and I will be watching my nephew." Dallas thanks her, and adds "I thank you and your Aunt for entrusting me to keep Lord Incorporated on top." Alexis smiles "I only choose the best Sullivan." 

      In a bar in Meriwether, called "Brock's Place", Scarlet Miller Hill works the bar and tells the men sitting on the other side "Party is nearly over. I have to call it a night early since nobody wants to work." A man yells "Just let us all be merry and drink, hell get high." Scarlet yells "My Daughter is the damn chief of police! Hell no, and I have a visitor tonight anyway." Scarlet walks the bar, and holds out her hand, and says "Just hand me a twenty and I'll call this even." The men pay her, as Lynn walks inside, and Scarlet tells her Daughter "I am closing early to see my friend." Lynn pulls her Mother aside and goes "Mom, you promised you were going to focus on this bar and not sleeping with him again. I hate that bastard, and I am warning you.." Scarlet boldly says "My livelihood depends on it Lynn. I have no choice." Lynn yells as the bar empties out, "You sure as hell do. I cannot believe you are still living up to the name I have to hear all the time, the "Grand Whore of Meriwether". Scarlet slaps her Daughter, and goes "I love him Lynn. Now go home and let me go get ready for my old friend!" Lynn walks out, with anger in her eyes, as Scarlet smiles as she has a thought to herself for a moment.

    As evening dawns upon Meriwether, Alexis has arrived at her family home, The Lord Mansion. Alexis hears a man yell "So Aunt Erica influenced you, and Julia to hire that son of a bitch." Alexis snarls "Roger! You are in no position to bark orders to me!" Roger yells "Hey, Mama's home!" Roger Lord gets up, as Lucas Lord, Alexis' Son walks downstairs and goes "Mom, I'm on Uncle Roger's side about Sullivan. I do not know why you and Aunt Julia chose him over Uncle Roger." Alexis snaps "Because my Brother is a sorry low life piece of shit! Because of Mama, he has to live here, and you will like Dallas. He will keep our family legacy in check, and he also can put the Mosleys in their place. Now I think we all can agree that's the plan." Roger nods, as does Lucas. Roger tells his Sister "I have experience at Lord, I was Father's right hand man." Alexis snarls "You are a snake in the damn grass is what you are." Alexis tells her Son "You need to not get any ideas from Roger or I'll wash your brain with bleach." Alexis goes to bed, as Lucas looks at his Uncle and says "Mom has some strong points and I think we both know." Roger tells his Nephew "I have my own ideas, and will use them. She knows how things work." Lucas heads to his room, as Roger makes a phone call.

    At Mosley Manor, James tells Geneva, Forrest, and Julia "Have to head to the office." Forrest goes "Dad, why not stay here and I head down to see what's going on?" James tells his Son, kissing Geneva as she says "James you are not as young as you used to be, and you need to.." James goes "With Dallas in charge of Lord Incorporated and my Grandson about to help me, I want everything set." James rushes out, as Geneva rolls her eyes and Julia tells her Ex-Husband and Mother In Law "J.R. is staying with me, thankfully my influence will rub off." Geneva sighs "Sweetie lets hope so because James is hellbent on taking over your family's company." Forrest tells his Ex-Wife and his Mother "Dad is power hungry, and it skipped me, and now Julia, our Son is Dad 2.0." At a diner in Meriwether called Eady's Cafe, J.R. sits at the bar and orders coffee and Lynn walks inside and goes "J.R.?" J.R. turns and goes "Lynn?" J.R. and Lynn hug as he tells her "Been awhile." Lynn nods, as J.R. tells the waitress "Her meal is on me." Lynn looks at J.R. and tells him "So let's catch up.", touching his hand, as J.R. looks at her. Meanwhile Dallas walks around his new home as he has some flashbacks to his past, as he walks the former homeplace of the Lord family for over 200 years outside of Meriwether, and says "The Sullivan Farm will be this place's name." Dallas makes a phone call, as he sits inside the library and says "I'm all set now, and you are safe Queenie."
