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."
