The kids didn’t even want to do any of his hard drugs. But the bash didn’t turn out to be nearly as raging as Nick’s dad would’ve liked. After J’s meeting with Lark - at which they discovered that they were the coolest heads in their respective families - the house was once again theirs, after all. Grumpy as hell, Craig invited over manny Blaise and his underage friends for a rager at the Cody place. “How about you figure out how to take care of your own family,” Deran hollered, “before you start telling me how to take care of ours?” One minute Deran wanted nothing to do with the business, the next he wanted to make all the calls?

Later, while taking an ill-advised dip in her ex-husband Liam’s pool, she wouldn’t let Pope call himself the devil. “I deserve it.” Suddenly, it dawned on him that Smurf had wanted him to die with her “because she knew what I am.” Nonetheless, Cassandra refused to grant his death wish. In the present, Cassandra, still in the desert with Pope, was delightedly firing off his gun when he stood between her and the abandoned car at which she was aiming.
