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.
