Episode 108: Lusting And Hatred.
Special Guest Star:
Morgan Freeman as Brendan Carlisle.
Lacy Norton's autopsy reveals, she had taken a bad pack of headache pills, in which Potassium Cyanide had been placed inside her pills. Security footage at the hotel, doesn't reveal much on in going and outgoing movements and none of the videos can note Bethany entering or leaving the building, even though Lacy found her in her hotel room. When they check for the security footage outside her hotel room, it scrambles at a certain time and put it down as a technical fault. The JFK airport security camera's are not much help either and the FBI and local authorities hit a dead end. They can either search for a suspect or put it down as a sneaky suicide, due to the fact she had terminal cancer.
Harry is shocked by the sudden death of his former girlfriend, mother of his illegitimate son, Joshua. Bethany remains silent, that she visited Lacy unexpectedly, as she doesn't want anyone to think she is a suspect.
Chris is walking hand in hand with Emma in Midtown, where so many people are staring and glancing aggressively at Chris, due to the fact, that his father participated with an Al Qaeda Terrorist. One car drives past and throws a tomato at Chris and tells him to rot in hell. This upsets Emma and insists she will stand by him one hundred per cent and that, it's not his fault. Chris informs Emma, that he intends to return to work as soon as possible.
Emma heads to a news conference with her father Otto, that's being made international and he calls for the state of New York to not take what ever choices he's made or has been involved in, on his daughter and assures them, he was unaware of Jeff's antics.
Rebecca sees Emma in Blooming Dales and tries to talk to her and says that she regrets what she did.
'You said that the last time,' Emma snaps. 'And then you unlawfully seduced me, when I was vulnerable.'
'I'm sorry,' Rebecca sighs.
'Yeah, so am I, sorry that Harry has a daughter who is a rapist,' Emma answers.
'That's not fair,' Rebecca suggests. 'Please, keep your voice down.
'When I met you, I thought I had a friend I could trust and have a companionship with for life, not to be betrayed, due to the fact I'm one of your sex toys in your sick fantasies,' Emma argues.
'I never wanted it to be like this,' Rebecca whispers.
'Rebecca, you don't love me,' Emma figures. 'You just can't stand the fact, that I'm in love with somebody else.'
'That's not true,' Rebecca begins to cry.
'If you thought so much about me, you wouldn't have done, what you did,' Emma points out.
'Are you going to tell Chris or my Dad?' Rebecca asks.
'No, I'm not. But, I'd like you to stay away from me. If you ever try to come between Chris and myself, you'll find yourself wearing a surgical collar.'
Emma storms off, trying to hold back his emotions. Rebecca is dumfounded, that she has lost her best friend and the girl she's in love with.
A customer arrives at the bank, where Bethany is based and argues with a Bank Teller over a bounced check, but the teller tries to explain that the check is bad. Bethany enters the argument and the customer insults Bethany for being the brother in law of a terrorist and advises all the other customers to change banks. The customer is escorted off the premises.
Abraham asks Harry, if he considered life on the police force? Harry thinks that he doesn't want to risk Abraham's recent good reputation as he's recently been seen as national hero.
Elaina welcomes Chris back on the newspaper team, but some of the employees of the New York Times have mixed emotions.
Brendan steals money again to gamble with.
Harry is walking to his car, when he spots a graffiti sprayed on it. It reads 'Terrorist Scum' across the windshield. Emma suggests that she and Chris move out of the city, but Chris states that he's not running away.
Otto meets with a security guard of the jail, where Jeff is incarcerated and Otto hands him a letter on the current goings on, as the family are finding it hard to pay him a visit.
Abraham is given the lieutenant job and succeeds the currently incarcerated Jeff Wilson.
Emma is leaving a photo shoot, when she is dragged into an alleyway, by some thugs who throw terrorist remarks at her. Rebecca witnesses this and comes to her aid. Emma hits a garbage lid over one of the thugs and Rebecca kicks another to the ground. Emma appreciates Rebecca's help and Emma is helped home, due to the fact she has a sprained ankle.
Harry sits upset in the apartment by recent events and looks at a picture of his son, Joshua, who's mother has recently passed away in suspicious circumstances. Unaware Bethany is behind him.
When Rebecca gets Emma home, Chris is there. Emma thanks Rebecca for bringing her home and embraces her.
'Thank you,' Emma whispers in her ear. 'Be seeing ya.'
Rebecca smiles and leaves.
'Perfect,' Rebecca grins to herself.
Harry receives a visit from Lacy's former husband, Phil, and adopted father of Joshua and orders him to stay away from her funeral, as he is aware that Lacy made the trip to New York City and that Joshua will never be Harry's son.
'Lacy took it upon herself to make me aware of this,' Harry adds. 'And I suggest you let Joshua make his own decision, he is an adult.'
'But, I brought him up, so why should you suddenly enter the fray? Phil yells.
'Now, wait a minute, I'm not the bad guy here and you don't even know me,' Harry counters.
'You are the brother of a terrorist,' Phil grunts.
'So that's what this is all about. Don't worry, I don't intend to meet my son, with Grenades hidden in my back pocket,' Harry sarcastically remarks. 'And I'm nothing like my brother if you must know.
'Whatever,' Phil bluntly replies.
'Look, Lacy already told me, that it should be his decision,' Harry says. 'Now, if you go against her wishes and start brainwashing him, then your not being respectful. And it feels your be disrespectful to me. So I suggest you get your priorities straight.'
After some more harsh words are exchanged, Phil leaves.
Clint Eastwood as Jeff Wilson does NOT appear in this episode.
