The Honor Roll: Episode 14. Scores, Scorn, And Revenge

   It's the next day, and at Thomas' Farm, Eliza sits inside the kitchen, as she tells the head waitress of The Courthouse Inn "Look, I'm not going to be able to make it down there. The manager should know where everything is." The waitress responds "The manager hasn't arrived, the doors are still locked Ms.Sullivan." Eliza yells "I'm on my way, and you're about to get promoted, and someone's ass is mine whenever she arrives this morning!" Thomas walks inside the kitchen, as Eliza asks her Son "How are you baby?" Thomas responds "I think I'm in a nightmare." Eliza hugs her Son, and assures him "Thomas, the nightmare will be over soon. I have to head down to The Courthouse Inn and handle some things. Will you be ok without me?" Thomas goes "I am a grown man Mama." Eliza responds "I know, but you also have PTSD, and Edna Horton's presence in Caswellton isn't good for you, or anyone." Thomas asks "Don't mention her name Mama." Eliza calls Bill, and tells her Ex-Husband "I'm heading down to check on things. Keep our Son company." Thomas sits at the kitchen table, as Eliza tells her Son "I'll be back later. Bill and his fat friend's on their way, and go into the living room, and meditate." Eliza heads out, as she gets into her Mercedes, and pulls a pistol from under the seat, and calls Missy, as she's at her home in Bankhead, and Eliza boldly tells her "Meet me at The Courthouse Inn in an hour!" Back inside, Thomas has another flashback, as he takes deep breaths, and screams.
   Meanwhile in Bankhead, at Erica's Home in the Lakeview Country Club, Erica sits in her living room, as she has a flashback to her past, and her visit with Eliza the day before, as Erica pulls out a box, and looks through photos, as she pulls out a document, and says to herself "Looks like the Whipper's gotten forgetful in his old age." Erica pulls out her phone, as she calls Didi, as Didi sits in her home in Caswellton, as Whip yells from Didi's guest room "I want breakfast!" Didi yells "Why don't you leave and get some!" Whip yells back "No! I want breakfast in bed, and my damn money!" Didi notices her phone, as she answers, and Erica goes "Didi, I share a history with Whip Morris. But I also have a weapon to use against him also." Didi asks Erica "Jody?" Erica responds "Yes, and Jody's my Sister. Whip and I partied together before I got my degree and I moved down here, and he caused Jody and I to split apart, and he almost cost me my marriage." Didi listens intently, as Erica tells Didi of her past, and Didi tells Erica "He's never divorced Jody, and he did help me get my citizenship in America, and he's not leaving without money." Erica tells Didi "Play a game with him, and leave the rest to me, and he'll be out of the way very soon." Erica hangs up, as she has a look of mischief on her face, as she seductively goes "Whip?" Didi walks into the guestroom where Whip lays on the bed, and tells him "I want to play with you. And I called a friend of mine too." Whip's eyes widen, as Didi walks over to closet, and goes "Now stay still, and I'll give you what Jody can't." Back in Bankhead, Erica's on the phone with her Sister, as she tells Jody "Your husband's in Caswellton." Jody, in New York City, tells her Sister "He's a bastard Erica." Erica agrees, as Jody tells Erica "So what do you need from me?" Erica tells her "Come and get him. He won't last long once I tell Rick he's here." Jody hangs up, and Erica has a thought, and in New York City, Whip's Wife, Jody Morris, makes a phone call, and says "He's in Caswellton."
    At The Caswell County School System, Corey unlocks the door, as he walks inside to start working, as he tells his friend on the phone "I'll be there to pick you up. Just remember where you're going isn't nothing like Hollywood." Corey hangs up the phone, as he opens the door to his new office, as Edna sits at Corey's desk, and goes "Hello my precious Grandson." Corey backs up, as Edna asks in a drugged tone "Do you not want to hug your Grandmother?" Corey, in a scared tone responds "You're supposed to be in Milledgeville, and you're not allowed here." Edna gets up from Corey's desk, as she walks over, and whispers "I am free, and you are going to help me get my job back. You shall do as I command of you. And the first thing you do, is step back, and put me back into my position. You should be having fun." Corey boldly responds "I won't do that." Edna goes "And I want Thomas Duncan fired from Waters Elementary! He's crazed, as is his Mother! He's ruined everything I've set in place!" Corey yells "As far as I'm concerned, he's doing a damn good job Edna, and how about I make a call to Milledgeville and tell them where you are..." Edna pulls out the pistol, as she coldly tells her Grandson "You don't want to test your limits with me, so put the phone down or else you will join others whom upset and disappointed me." Unknown to Corey and Edna, Anna has arrived, as she overhears Edna and Corey, as Edna hears footsteps, and quickly tells her Grandson "I'm proud you are going to help me get the Waters name out of this program, and help Thomas out of the Principal's seat at Waters Elementary." Anna walks inside, as Corey freezes, and Anna boldly tells Edna "You get out of here before I call the police." Corey is silent, as Edna touches her Grandson's face, as Edna looks at Anna, and asks "Did your Mother and Father help you?" Anna ignores her, as she asks Corey in a stern tone "I hope I just didn't hear what I thought I heard in here?" Corey tells Anna "I found her in my office Anna." Anna reminds Corey "It was a risk hiring you for this position due to her, and now that I've heard what I have, I'm going to ask you to go back home and let me think." Corey assures Anna "I have no intentions of helping her!" Anna sighs "Well Corey, thanks to her, Thomas is having issues, and I'm not putting Caswell County Schools at risk with Edna running loose. And meet me later, and we'll discuss this at The Courthouse Inn." Corey goes "I've got to pick up my friend in Atlanta." Anna sighs "Well then, call me when you arrive home." Corey agrees, as Anna heads to her office, and calls the staff of Waters Elementary, and tells them all "Tomorrow a meeting is to be held at the Waters Elementary Media Center." Corey walks out, but unknown to Corey, or Anna, in the shadows stands Edna, as she follows her Grandson out, as he walks back to the Rooming House where he stays, as Edna watches closely.
    At The Courthouse Inn, Missy has arrived, as Eliza tells Missy "Follow me to my Mansion." Eliza and Missy walks out, as Missy asks Eliza "What's there for you to say? I know you learned about my Daddy, and I don't want to hear your point of view." Eliza tells Missy "Well you follow me up the street, and we're having a talk. Just the two of us." Missy sighs "Whatever.", as she follows Eliza. At Thomas' Farm meanwhile, Thomas sits inside the living room, as Bill and Peanut are inside, and Thomas tells his Father "I think I should have taken the job in Atlanta, or stayed in Kansas City. Hell I should have killed myself after losing Valerie and T.J." Bill tells his Son "I'm glad you are home Son, and I don't want to hear you talk like that. Eliza's going to be at the school, which spoils my plans, but it'll be good for you. She's planning something." There's a knock at the door, as Bill answers, and Alice and Pat walks inside, as Alice and Pat gives Thomas a hug, as Alice asks Thomas "I heard you're not handling the news well about Edna." Bill warns Alice and Pat "Don't say the name." Thomas asks "How in the hell did that crazy bitch get out of Milledgeville?" Alice tells Thomas, as does Pat "She escaped from Milledgeville. She wasn't supposed to be released." Pat sighs "I'm going outside to smoke a cigarette. I don't believe Edna Horton's roaming the streets of Caswellton." As Pat walks outside, Alice tells Thomas "Anna's called a meeting tomorrow in the Media Center, and we'll figure everything out. Edna's already making moves." Thomas begins to have another panic attack, as Bill tells Alice "You and Pat need to head back home. This has really gotten to Thomas, and I don't think he can take much more." Alice sighs "Poor man's been through so much, and one thing we can count on, is that he's tough." Bill sighs with defeat "I think it's worn thin. He's in a dark place right now, and Eliza doesn't want him to be alone." Alice asks, as Bill walks her outside, as Thomas sits in his chair, and is silent "He's talking suicide, and Eliza's going to work at the school for awhile, in Maura's class.' Alice sighs with dread "Excuse my french Bill, but all hell's about to explode if those two are in a room together." Bill tells her, as Pat walks over "It's best, and I'm going to hang around as well. My Son's going through hell, and I think this is going to kill him if he isn't careful." Alice asks "Kill him?" Bill goes "He's stressed, and everyone needs to make damn sure to keep him calm, and the stress away." Alice and Pat vows to do that, as they leave, and Bill walks back inside, as Thomas sits in his chair, and pain shows on his face, as Bill asks "Are you ok?" Thomas tells his Father "I taste blood." Bill freezes.
   Meanwhile at Sullivan Hill, Missy sits, as Eliza tells Missy "Your Mama's lover's presence in town's hurting Thomas, and I'm going to be at the school, and I'll be working with Maura, and so you know, and I know, if she makes one move against my Son..." Eliza pulls out her pistol, as she coldly responds "The bitch has it coming, and it's been too damn long!" Missy pleads "Mother's not happy with Edna's return either Ms.Sullivan." Eliza goes "I'd think she'd be jumping with joy!" Missy responds "Edna's more whacked than ever, and.." Eliza changes subjects, and asks "So tell me about how you found your Daddy after he killed himself?" Missy warns Eliza "Please don't make me talk about that." Eliza assures Missy "That's the only thing that prevented me from finding you and kicking your ass the other day getting cozy with my Son." Missy starts to cry, as she explains the horrific experience, and starts to cry, as Eliza goes "Do you believe your Daddy would have killed himself Missy?" Missy responds "He was angry. That's all I remember. Then I found him the next morning, in the floor..." Missy trembles, as Eliza tells Missy "I remember him as a good man, and I don't think he'd killed himself." Missy tells Eliza "Mommy Dearest's said the same thing a few times, but then deny it." Eliza asks Missy "Did he ever stand up to Snowball?" Missy nods....and her eyes widen, as Eliza asks "What?" Missy pulls out her phone, as she frantically responds "Mother's been acting odd." Eliza sits, as Missy calls her Mother, and Maura's phone goes to voicemail, and Eliza looks at Missy, as she tells her "If I were you, I'd go down there and check on her." Missy runs out, as Eliza's phone rings, and she answers, as Bill tells his Ex-Wife "You need to come back to Thomas', he's getting sick." Eliza runs out of Sullivan Hill, and rushes to Thomas' farm, as Bill stands at the bathroom door, as he hears his Son, and tells Peanut "This can't be happening."
     Back at Didi's Home, Didi wears lingerie, as Whip's tied to the bed, as Erica arrives, and goes "You've aged well you old bastard." Didi asks Erica "So what do you want to do with him?" Erica looks at Whip, as he smiles "This looks like fun." Erica goes "Oh yes it is, and I have a surprise for you, but my Husband's not to know." Erica takes off her coat, as she asks "Like it?" Whip grins, as Didi tells Whip "You have what you want now Whip." Erica smiles "And Didi, he loves whips and chains." Didi laughs "And I have them." Erica tells Whip "Now excuse me, as Didi and I discuss how we're going to pleasure you." Didi and Erica walks into the hallway, as Erica tells Didi "Jody knows, and she told me some things as I was coming down here. He's in for a shock, and all you and I need to do is keep him distracted." Didi smiles, as they walk back inside the guestroom, as Erica asks Whip "Remember what we did in Studio 54?" Whip sighs "Ahh yes." Erica seductively climbs next to Whip, and tells him "Didi and I are about to make that look like a fantasy." As Didi climbs on the bed, police cars arrive, as the sirens are off, and four policemen gets out of their cars, as they walk through Didi's door, as they storm inside, and Whip screams at Didi and Erica "The two of you set me up!" The Sheriff goes "Whip Morris, you're under arrest for fraud, blackmail, and you have a warrant in New York, New Jersey, and Illinois." As Whip's unchained, and handcuffed, he asks an officer, as he's naked "May I put on some clothes?" Whip's denied, as he's read his rights and taken to the Caswell County jail, as Didi looks at Erica, and thanks her, and Erica tells Didi "He tried to break up my marriage to my Husband, and I don't know what Jody's seen in him, but she's the one to really thank." Didi hugs Erica, as she goes "Speaking of Husbands, time for me to go meet mine for dinner in Newnan." Erica leaves, as Didi yells "Thank you God!"
    Meanwhile around Caswell County, at Alice's Farm outside Simpson, Alice, Pat, and Effie sits in her living room, as Alice tells them after getting Anna's voicemail "Things are about to get really bad I think. I have a bad feeling something's about to happen with Edna in town." Pat quips "Bad for her. I just hope it isn't true that Corey's not helping her." Alice asks Pat, as Effie tells them "I think tomorrow's meeting will be crazy since Eliza and Maura will be in the same room, and working together to boot." Pat meanwhile asks Alice "Notice anything off with Thomas earlier?" Alice goes "He didn't look well. This is all taking a toll on him." At Maura's Apartment, Missy arrives, as the door's unlocked, and yells "Mom?" Missy looks around, as she looks into her Mother's bedroom, as Maura's tied to a chair, with her mouth taped shut, and Missy unties her, as Maura looks at her Daughter, and tells her "Let's get out of here before Edna returns." Missy and Maura run out. Meanwhile Edna sits outside the Rooming House, looking at a leaf, as Anna pulls up, as does Erica, as Erica gasps "Oh my God, you're out of the nuthouse?" Edna asks Erica "You work for Caswell County Schools?" Erica responds "Yes I do." Corey meanwhile pulls into the driveway, as he sees Anna, Erica, and his Grandmother, as his friend in the car, named Carly goes with excitement "This will be better than watching soaps!" Corey rolls his eyes, as he tells his best friend "And from the look on Anna Waters face, and Dr.Elliott's, I may be screwed thanks to the bitch in the rocking chair." Corey tells Anna and Erica with urgency "I did not invite her here." Erica looks at Corey, as she snarls "A Horton and another Horton helping each other." Erica looks at Anna and tells her "Fire him." Edna yells "He's going to help me get back my job or else he will pay." Anna looks at Corey with disappointment, and tells him "Tomorrow be at the meeting, and I may take too much after my Mother, but I plan to give you a chance." Erica yells "I don't plan to." Erica warns Anna "You have Maura working at Waters Elementary, and now Edna's Grandson, who seems to be in cahoots with his deranged Granny. If you keep him, I quit!" Erica gets into her car and leaves, as Anna looks at Corey, and Edna, and tells him "Tomorrow we'll discuss your future." Anna leaves, as Carly gets out of Corey's car, and Corey yells at his Grandmother "Get the hell away from here!" Edna looks at Carly and tells her Grandson "Make me a Great-Grandchild." Edna walks away, as Corey and Carly heads into his room, as Corey sighs with disgust "She's going to ruin everything I've dreamed of accomplishing." Carly assures her friend "Not with me around." Meanwhile at Thomas' Farm, Thomas sits in his chair, as Bill's across the road, and Thomas grows faint, as he gets up, and walks to the bathroom, as he throws up blood. Thomas gets up, as Eliza walks inside, and yells for her Son, as Thomas walks out of the bathroom, as he collapses, and Eliza calls 911.
