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.
