                            SYBIL'S HOUSE (OAKLAND)

Her father had made it to where they would always have breakfast and dinner together before their plans. Sybil after Fitz had left, fell asleep as she thought about the tape and the finding out that Amanda's baby wasn't Fitz's. She got up feeling refreshed as she got ready for her day. Fitz always has kept her grounded as he held her from her anger. Anger she got from her mother, who her dad always said she took after. She met her father down the stairs as they walked to the dining room before sitting down. The breakfast spread of waffles, sausages, scrambled eggs, and hashbrowns. One of the maids brought Sybil's favorite tea, as her father got coffee. They started eating.

"I heard we had a visitor last night," Damon asked his daughter as she drank her tea.

"Fitz came to see me. He had something that could be damaging to his presidency." Sybil says as she puts down her tea.

"Really what?" Damon questioned his daughter.

"There's a tape." Sybil started as she looked at her father as he stared at her.

"What does this tape consist of? Babygirl" Damon asked.

"It's a sex tape of me and Fitz." Sybil finished as her dad narrowed his eyes at her. 

Sybil, at this point, was scared of her father. Damon slammed his hand on the table as they caught most of the moving maids and Butler's attention along with August. 

"Sybil, are you crazy?!" Damon yelled.

"We didn't know we were being filmed. It's just the audio so they don't know it's me. Dad, this was two years ago. Whoever had it been trying to blackmail him. Fitz says he's working on it." Sybil almost felt like a child again.

"You better hope he does or I and President Grant are going to have a sit-down," Damon concluded. August had come in after the commotion. He and Sybil shared looks as she ate breakfast.

"Let us know about the situations in Charming." Damon stated to August, who came up to" them with several folders. The first folder had the name Eli Roosevelt.

"Eli Roosevelt was the head of the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department. He was transferred over to Charming with the help of Jacob Hale, the new mayor of Charming. He was known for a few gangs neutralizing gangs here in Oakland before they transferred him." August started as Damon ate.

"I heard of him. Real pain in my ass, shut down two of our fractions of the Niners." Damon stated before motioning August to carry on. 

" He moved with his wife and has been giving SAMCRO most of their problems since they got out of prison last year. He was recruited by a man Lincoln Potter to help him take down the Samcro gun business. I also found out they are blackmailing one Juan Ortiz, but they call him Juice."

"What do they have on Juice that's he willing to betray SAMCRO?" Sybil asked now finished with their food.

"His father is black. SAMCRO has a strictly no blacks policy and has been that way since they started." August replies. Damon patted his mouth with a towel before responding.

"He joined a club that not only dislikes the Minorites gangs but he's also a part of both minorities' sides. That's the blind leading the blind. Is this the president you want to make, Sybil?" Damon stared at his daughter.

"One step at a time." She tells him as she nods for August to continue. August sat down in the next folder.  Jax Teller

"VP now President of SAMCRO. He has one Kid from a woman named Wendy Case and another from a woman named Tara Knowles whom he married before he was picked to be brought in. He has an overbearing mother some would say she loves him more than a son. I can see why Sybil wants to rebuild him, Mr. Pope. Looking at his stats he can become one of our kings quickly."

August continued as she and Damon looked through the Jax's info. Sybil picked up his mugshot as she took in his messy long hair before he cut it. He looked as handsome as he still does now. Damon watched with knowing eyes. His daughter he thinks as she sets the picture down, once she catches his eye.

"The more kings the better, right dad." Sybil joked.

"Next folder Auggie." Damon ignored his daughter making her smile go away. 

Lincoln Potter

August told them about Lincoln Potter, who Sybil would have to get rid of so she'll have to make Fitz speed up his search so she could rid of him and start her process. She drank her tea as she heard everything about him before the next folder was sat down.

Clay Morrow

The hand that killed her sister. Sybil and her father listened almost immediately before stopping August. 

"I want guys watching Eli Roosevelt's wife. Tell them to try not to make it obvious last thing we need is that sheriff in our business. We need the guys doing the invasions. Let's call this a piece offering to the officer and Jax Teller. Sybil whatever plan you have start it now. Clay Morrow would suffer; I want his death slow and painful. I don't care how you do it." Damon stated before both she and August left. She pressed a soft hand on her father's shoulder and pressed a kiss to his cheek before she went to take a relaxing swim.

WHITE HOUSE - OVAL OFFICE (Fitz's Pov/Washington, DC)

Fitz sat in his office as he thought about Sybil, missing her already as he thought about what Sybil had told him. Mellie knew all along about them two and she didn't say anything. They pretended to be this couple even though she knew he was in love with Sybil. Both his Mistress and Wife were friends and he still couldn't believe it. His office door opened to show Cyrus, who looked between stressed out and angry.

"Cyrus," Fitz said as he stood up.

"James wants to adopt an Ethiopian baby." Cyrus bluntly told him. Fitz looked at him before saying.

"That's good," Fitz says as he wonders where Cyrus is going with this.

"It is. It is good, but I've been fighting him on it, been making all sorts of excuses about why it's not a good idea. I'm not a young man. I work crazy hours. Once you have a kid, your life's no longer your own. The usual suspects. The whole thing was off the table; at least until last night." Cyrus tells him Fitz agreed but questioned.

"Last night?" 

"Yeah, last night, when I went looking for the President of the United States and found out that he was at his girlfriend's house. You flew there to Oakland to see her." Cyrus almost wanted to shout.

"Here it comes. Cyrus the Holy." Fitz lifts his arms as he sighs.

"You tell me to go to war with Olivia Pope, then you spend the night with her cousin?! Are you out of your mind? What did you do, throw pebbles at her window? Hide under her bed while her mom and dad came by her room, and said good night?" Cyrus yells.

" All right. That's enough." Fitz sternly says. It was one thing Fitz didn't tolerate and that was badmouthing Sybil. She didn't deserve that and she's not here to defend herself.

"Why did you even run for this job, to get laid? You couldn't get laid as Governor?" Cyrus ranted. Oh, he did get laid as the Governor many times that he didn't know about the two kids that could never be.

"Get out of my office," Fitz told him.

"What you did last night was stupid and reckless! You want to know what I gave up to put you here in this office, what I've done for you, the ends that I've gone to? If you had any idea--" Cyrus still ranted.

" I am so sick of you saying you PUT me in the White House. I got myself elected. I put myself in the White House." Fitz argued back. He wished Sybil was here. She was the only one who didn't hang anything over his head. She trusted him and his flaws. He could never let her go even if she asked him. 

"You were a flyboy with a good head of hair and a pushy dad." Cyrus continued.

"Well, I'm sorry Cyrus that I fell for someone who understands the real me. That cares for me way more than my wife does. That knew even with my flaws, my pushy dad that she would have my back. She turned me into something that I can respect and cherish not for some title that comes every term but someone that once I leave this. I will be the best." Fitz shouted at him. Cyrus could only listen.

"You don't deserve this job." Cyrus pointed out.

"And yet here I am!" Fitz said before the aide came in.

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. President. It's the cult situation in Georgia. Three ATF agents were just shot near the compound." The aide says before closing the door leaving Fitz and Cyrus looking at each other.

FLASHBACK: JAX AND DAMON'S TALK

After the 'death of Opie' Jax was brought to see Damon as Jax was seated in a chair. He tried to hide his facial expression with anger and sadness as he and Pope stared at each other.

"Sounds like things went according to plan," Damon told Jax.

Jax feigned a calm angry tone, "There's a new plan. I just watched my best friend get beaten to death. Now I need Trager outside. Him knowing I saved his life gives me an eternal advantage I'm going to need."

Damon smiled at his potential. He could see why his girl wanted to play Build a President.

"There you go. Using pain to take you to the next level. Those are the things that turn players into kings." Damon states with a nod.

SAMCRO CLUBHOUSE (CHARMING, CALIFORNIA/JAX'S POV)

Jax sat at the head of the table as the boys of SAMCRO sat at their table. The people who knew Opie was still alive, Tig and Chibs, and the person who saved him. Sybil Pope was an interesting woman to him. He was just so drawn into her after what happened. He's been distant with Tara since. He always would look at his phone like he was waiting for Sybil's call. What would she and him do as partners?

"I think Opie's been looking for a way out since Donna died. He's never been right since. He went out a warrior. Jax explained to the crew.

"We... we wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for him." Chibs feigned sadness as they told them.

"No doubt, Ope made his own choice. It's Pope forcing that choice that concerns me. " Clay inserted as he and Jax had a stare-down. Jax never forgot what Sybil revealed to him and he didn't trust him one bit.

" Jax did all he could... all he could to push back the threat." Tig defended Jax.

"Agreeing to a 50 G payout?" Frankie, one of Clay's lackeys argued.

" Short term, Frankie." Jax pointed out. More likely not because of Sybil's plans.

"How short?" GOGO asked.

"We never rubbed up against a guy like Pope. An OG sitting at a table with judges, senators, CEOs." Jax states as everyone shares looks.

"He can kill us with a phone call as easily as a bullet. We're just white smoke to this dude." Bobby inputted.

"I say we agree to his terms, see where it goes. Maybe we can even use this guy to our advantage." Jax hoped. 

"What advantage is that?" Clay was starting to tick him off. He was questioning him which in turn made the crew question him. And he didn't like it.

"If we're good with Pope, the rest of black gets in line," Jax explained before Happy said something.

"What about the tar stains that killed Ope? They just gonna get in line, too?" Jax shared a look with Tig and Chibs which Bobby caught.

"They've already been taken care of," Jax told them.

"How?" Bobby asked.

"Pope's daughter," Jax said as Tig looked down.

"I thought Tig killed her," Juice tells them.

"He has an eldest daughter. His daughter made sure they paid with their deaths as part of the partnership with Pope." Jax explained vaguely.

"I like her already." Happy inserted.

"Angel in White," Tig said as that night still traumatized him.

Juice pats his back softly before they carry on with their talk. 

"How can you be sure you can trust this eldest daughter?" Clay questioned again.

"It's the reason I'm president Clay. I know what I'm doing. Thank you for your input." Jax tells him as his look tells him to back off before the meeting is done.

SYBIL'S HOUSE (OAKLAND)

A figure could be seen swimming in the pool as she thought about the situation at hand. In Washington was Cyrus and the person who was blackmailing Fitz and In Charming Jax and his crew with the obstacles in the way. She would have to handle Jax's situations before the boss level moves. Turning Clay into a rug might help with that. She wondered why Jax kept the bastard alive if he was going to make everyone lose their trust in his crew. She got out of the water as the droplets of water dripped from her body. Drying off and lying on the lawn chair, before her phone rang.

"Sybil speaking." Sybil greeted me on the phone.

"Sybil, we need your help," Harrison tells her.

Sybil sat up.

"What's going on?" Sybil asked.

"Quinn and one of the reporters looking into Amanda Tanner were together and She found him there. He was dead it was a bloody scene." Harrison tried to explain as fast as he could.

"Did you do the basics? Like hair samples, fingerprints, bodily fluids." Sybil asked.

"Yes, disappeared like she was never there," Harrison said.

"Okay, I'm giving you a cleaner of sorts number. This number stays between us. Never share it with anyone, not even Olivia." Sybil stated before she said the number as Harrison wrote down the number. Once she was done, she told him that the guy's name was Klaus and that he was a miracle worker.

"It will be like there was no murder. Do it before anyone finds out. Keep me updated." Sybil tells him before Harrison agrees and they both hang up. She knew that girl was trouble but damn. Olivia always liked the trouble. She got up so she could get ready for the first plan. 

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES

Quinn Perkins was now their client, and they would help her. Harrison had stayed back to meet with Klaus, who would clean the place up. They all face the familiar board window that shows, the picture of Gideon.

"All right. Gideon Wallace. What do we know?" Olivia questioned as she looked at Stephen, Abby and Huck.

"The last couple of weeks, he's been working on a story About Amanda Tanner," Abby stated as she added the picture of Amanda Tanner on the board.

"He got too close to something, got a pair of scissors in the neck for his trouble." Stephen pointed out.

" He figured out who sent her to sleep with the President," Olivia revealed.

"Somebody sent Amanda into sleep with the President. How do we know that part?" Abby wondered.

" We just do," Stephen said.

" But how do we just do?" Abby continued.

" I don't think it's important. Let's move on." Stephen waves off.

"Gideon made 28 phone calls last night, All D.C. and Virginia area codes. The last call was to the White House switchboard." Huck mentioned. 

"So, he was trying to call one of these people," Abby says.

"Boyfriend lives in Logan Circle?" Amanda had a boyfriend?" Stephen wondered.

" Who works at the White House," Abby added.

"That's our guy. What about his laptop?" Olivia asked Huck.

" He was on it most of the night looking at the video. It's gonna take me a few hours to go through it all." Huck replied.

" Abby and Stephen, call every number on that pad. And I'll call Harrison to see if he could follow up on the addresses." Olivia instructed them before walking away. Olivia paused as Quinn walked in from the break room.

"I can help. I'd rather be doing something, anything. Let me help." Quinn pleaded.

" You can help by sitting on that chair and not moving. You're the client, Quinn. Let us do our job." Olivia told her before going back in her office making Quinn sit in the meeting area by Huck.

 WHITE HOUSE PRESS ROOM/ SYBIL'S HOUSE (OAKLAND)

Sybil got ready for 'Opie's wake' as she brushed her hair before turning the TV on. The white house was having a press conference. She added jewelry as she listened to the press conference.

"At 9:30 this morning, a gun erupted outside the Heaven's Rapture compound in Hacklene, Georgia. Three ATF agents were wounded, though I can confirm that they're now in stable condition." One of the staff for the white house said.

She stares at the scene, putting on her necklace. Sybil sprayed perfume on herself before sitting on the bed to put on her heels.

"Inaudible questions" The reporters started shouting many questions at the staffer.

"Come on. Come on. Come on. Folks, please. Please. One at a time. It's been a long morning. Yes."

After she put her heels on, she continued watching the conference.

"It's a crazy world we live in, Ted." a voice said as he stepped on stage. Sybil saw that it was Billy, who knew Olivia, but his name was very familiar. 

" What?" One of the reporters asked.

"You're gonna want to get this next part loud and clear." He replies.

"... which include Vice President Langston and Attorney General Sawyer, are determined not to use force." Martin tries to step in.

"Excuse me,"  Billy questioned as he was moved to the side by Martin.

"That doesn't mean they're not going to, and as to further details ... I can't tell you anything new," Martin tells the reporters.

Sybil now remembered who she knew his name from. That was Billy who was trying to ruin Fitz's campaign with his lies about Mellie. 

"What is he thinking?" Sybil asked herself as she watched.

"Excuse me. Excuse me." Billy interrupted Martin again.

"The President is determined not to use an--Billy?" Marvin was about to say before he was pushed away from the booth as Billy stepped up to the microphone.

"Sorry about your morning, Marv. It's about to get longer. Good morning, everyone. My name is William David Chambers, And for the past 14 months, I've had the great honor of serving Vice President Sally Langston as her chief of staff, so it is with deep sadness and regret that I will resign my position officially, effective immediately. Now I've prayed long and hard for a solution to the painful situation I find myself in, but ... but I've come up short. Now the Bible tells us, "A false witness will not go unpunished. And he who pours out lies will perish." So, I will take what little solace I can this morning by simply telling the truth. And the truth is this I had an affair with a White House Aide named Amanda Tanner. " Billy says causing an uproar as the reporters started asking him questions.

Sybil grabs her phone trying to call Olivia about Billy. 

" Come on, come on," Sybil says as she waits for Olivia to answer.

OLIVIA POPE AND ASSOCIATES

While Olivia's phone was ringing on and off as her cousin Sybil was calling her. O.P.A was too busy talking about what they had found courtesy of Gideon to know of the many calls Olivia would receive from Sybil.

"Gideon had it narrowed down to 57 male employees in the West Wing" Olivia states as everyone looked at each other.

"He's on TV right now," Quinn said but they didn't hear her.

"I want blood types on everyone. If we crossmatch them to the coroner's report--" Olivia started before Harrison finished it.

"Find Amanda's baby daddy and Gideon's murder." Harrison finished.

"He's on TV right now," Quinn repeated but they still didn't hear her.

"It's a twofer." Harrison whistles before Quinn yells out

" HE'S ON TV RIGHT NOW!" Now listening they turn towards the TV screen.

SYBIL'S HOUSE (OAKLAND)/SAMCRO CLUBHOUSE

She hung up when August came in.

"Are you ready to go?" August asked his best friend.

"Yes, let's go. Time to get this plan started." Sybil tells him as she grabs her coat, and they leave. She sat in the back as August drove to Charming. Sybil still paid attention to the conference as she watched it on her phone.

" Amanda and I met on the campaign trail two years ago. Uh, we fell in love, and when I learned that she was carrying our child, I planned to propose. So you can imagine my shock and horror when I learned that the President of the United States was abusing his power and privilege to take sexual advantage of Ms. Tanner; when I learned that she killed herself only weeks after sleeping with the President; and when I ... when I found an explicit audiotape that Amanda had made of her sexual encounter in the Oval Office with the President of the United States. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to take them." Billy told the reporters.

"That son of a bitch!" Sybil comments making August and his partner look at each other.

"Have you spoken to Ms. Tanner's family?" One reporter asked.

"I haven't, but, uh, obviously, my thoughts and prayers are with them and have been all along," Billy mentions.

"Where did you find the tape?" another reporter says.

"What does it have on it exactly?" another called out.

"Please guys, one at a time." Billy smiled at the chaos he caused. 

"Did Amanda Tanner tell you she was seeing the President?" One reporter questioned.

"She did. She was very upset about it. She came-" Billy started.

Sybil was beyond pissed at this point. That asshole! She thought before continuing it.

"Have you had a chance to talk with the president?" A reporter asked Billy.

"No, I haven't. I-I don't think the President cares to speak with me right now but uh, if he ever should, the doors always open." Billy answered.

" How did you find the President's sex tape?" another probed.

"I discovered it among Amanda's personal effects." Billy lied as he made the answer seem real.

" So, Billy, you've heard the tape yourself?" another reporter cut in.

" Unfortunately, yes" Billy feigned a sigh.

August now arrives at the SAMCRO clubhouse which was also fronted for the Teller-Morrow auto shop. The group of people was already crowded as a Horse was there to take the 'body'. The car caught many people's attention as she climbed out of the car. Whispers surrounded her as she walked with her coat underneath her arm, showing her black mid-calf halter dress that had her boobs pushed up as her hair fell alongside her shoulder/mid-upper back while she glided along the pavement. No one didn't know who she was. Chibs and Tig looked at the girl as she passed her phone to August, telling him to keep watching the conference. Bobby went to get Jax who was talking to Tara.

"Jax. You have to come to see this." Bobby told him making Jax look at him in confusion before he and Tara followed him outside. Jax could only stare at Sybil as she saw him before he strolled over to her. Tara looked at him questionably before watching the interaction.

"I see the wake is going just fine," Sybil told him as they faced each other.

"I'd had to lie to everyone about Opie's death for what," Jax said to her.

"Jax, who do you think sent Opie to go in with you? Because for someone who is a remarkable fighter/ good businessman. I am highly questioning your intelligence." Sybil tells him before handing him a form.

"That day you went inside; your boy Opie was visited by Clay and who do you think would've wanted to get rid of the boy that almost killed him," Sybil explained.

"What do you want me to do with this information?" Jax asked her.

"Jax, for you to play this game. You have to weed out the weak ones, the ones that don't fall in line." Sybil told him.

Jax stared at her, almost everyone stared at the interaction. 

"Who is she?" Bobby questioned Chibs.

"Pope's daughter. Sybil Pope." Chibs could only say.

"Hm," Bobby mumbled.

"Is Opie safe?" Sybil asked him.

"Yeah, I got a house set for him," Jax answered.

" Good, my dad told me you made a deal to move weight for him.  half the sal of course." Sybil leaned on the car.

"Your dad says a lot of things, darlin'." Jax almost looked like he cornered her in the car.

" As long you do what he says, this partnership could work. We have to be undercover about this. My father doesn't know that I helped you in the prison." Sybil tells him.

" And I thank you for that." Jax humbly says.

"There's something about you, Jax. Something I just can't put my hand on it.  You can only tell trustworthy people about Opie. You have a rat at the table. It's bad for business. You need to handle it or I will. To be a king, you need undying loyalty. Leave Clay to us. And my friend hasn't gotten back to me but soon there will be no more cases." Sybil sincerely said to him.

Tara could only look at them with jealousy as the Jax looked too close to comfort next to the girl. Gemma came up beside her as she too saw what Tara was looking at.

"Who's the brown Tart?" Gemma asked.

"I don't know" Tara shrugged.

"Well, she's a little too close, isn't she." Gemma inserted again.

" I trust him," Tara stated as Gemma looked at her like she was the dumbest thing on earth.

" If you can't see it, then you give Jax too much trust," Gemma tells her before walking away. Tara could only think of Gemma's words before going back to watching Jax.

"There's also old rules of your club that may offend." She slides him to the Juice folder. 

"What rules?" Jax asked.

" The no blacks in the crew of course. Need to be out. It's time to make a statement. Black, brown, and white are welcome in the SAMCRO. That way you won't have any rats or anything." Sybil explained.

Jax looked at Juice's folder telling him all he needed to know. Juice was half black and He was the rat. He didn't know to whom but he was going to find out.

"Why are you helping me?" Jax suddenly asked.

"You have potential Jax. Soo much potential. You have to start being two 2 steps ahead. Make Allies to deal with any foes. We're not here to kill you anymore, Jax. Depending on how this plan works. Tig is going to live when he should not, even when he swings the sword that started the battle. Weeds out the weed and all will fall in line." Sybil said to him before placing an everlasting touch on his arm making the crew share looks. She started walking to the car door as August's partner started to open the door. 

"What about the House Invasions?" Jax shouts. Sybil smirked before getting in. Jax just knew she had it handled. Now it was time to send off this box and to make changes to his club that Piney would've been proud to see. 

WHITE HOUSE RESIDENCE

Mellie rushed in seeing Fitz looking at the press conference.

"You are letting Billy Chambers run roughshod over everything we've spent the past 15 years working for!" Mellie yelled at him.

"I am not! I am trying to figure out what to do! The best thing, the best way to--" He tried to defend himself.

" Get out there and tell them you didn't do it! Right now. Walk outside. Tell the press you never touched her; you don't even know which girl they're talking about." Mellie argued.

"That would be a lie," Fitz tells him.

"Then lie!" Mellie shouted.

"Oh, like the talk you had with Sybil after she left me," Fitz called out to her.

"What are you talking about?" Mellie feigned shock.

"That's right. I know, Sybil told me. How could you do this to me?!?" Fitz yelled at her in anger.

"Because you were in love with her! I have watched you two. The little look when you thought no one was looking! I saw everything. You don't think I know that's probably you and her on that tape. I know you loved her more than me. We created something amazing. You, President of the free world, and Me, your first lady who would be there any step of the way. We needed this." Mellie remarked as Fitz could only listen.

"Now I'm going to call Sybil and bring her here so she can get us out of this mess. We've worked so hard to have this all ruined because of you two." Mellie finale before leaving Fitz to himself as she called Sybil.

SAMCRO CLUBHOUSE (CHARMING, CALIFORNIA)

After the talk with Sybil, he had hidden the files away in plain sight. Chibs and Tig had spoken with him after to ask about what she said. Once he is done, he walks out of the clubhouse to see that Nero is back.

"Hey. You get Emma Jean out safe?" Jax asked him, walking over to him.

"Oh, yeah. She's on a plane back to the Heartland." Nero tells him.

"Good. Did you get a minute? I want to bounce something off you." Jax states making Nero nod.

"Yeah, sure," Nero responds before he and Jax walk into the clubhouse to the meeting room.

"Have a seat, man. So... what happens to Diosa now?" Jax gestured to Nero, who sat down.

"Outcalls, man. Outcalls until I find me a new spot." Nero says to him.

"You mind if I ask how much your girls pull in?" Jax asked him as he stared at Nero.

"On average, they do three to five dates a day, take in... minimum, a few hundred a client. Now, a touring girl, like Emma Jean, there, she can do triple that." Nero answered.

"You happy with that return?" Jax questioned.

"You sound like you're trying to sell me some life insurance here. I got an endgame here, mano." Nero pointed out, wondering where Jax could be going with this.

"What's the endgame?" Jax asked again.

"1.3 million. I'm going to buy my uncle's spread down in Norco. 20 acres. My kid loves animals. I'm going to give him a goddamn farm." Nero told him.

"I like that. How close are you?" Jax wondered.

"I ain't close enough," Nero comments.

"Maybe I can help you get there a little faster," Jax suggested.

"Caracara?" Nero questioned.

"Yeah, it's a porn biz that we used to handle," Jax stated.

"That's not my game." Nero shakes his head.

"No, but the girls on that list are. It's the nature of the business now. Most of these girls, they gotta supplement with the porn star experience-- 1,500 to five grand a day. They need a booker." Jax mentions.

"You still have access to all of them?" Nero asked.

"Yep. There are a few of them in the clubhouse right now. There's an old Elks lodge for rent, out on 88. It's the perfect location. There are no neighbors, close to major highways... I'll cover all the new start-up costs. Then we split everything 50-50. Diosa Norte." Jax said.

"Partners, huh?" Nero asked.

"You'll have to meet with my other partner. I have an endgame in sight, too. My 'best friend' is lying in a box in the other room. I gotta start moving us away from the shit that's killing us." Jax tells him.

"And who is this other partner? I'm sorry about your friend in there, but I tell you straight-up, though, if we were to do a deal... it would have to be completely clear of all your other traffic. You see, I can't get pulled into the heat of all the things you're moving away from." Nero told him.

"Sybil Pope. She would be a big help to us. Understood. And I don't want the heat of all the things that you're trying to get close to—my mom. I can't mix business and family. The shit with Clay-- her and Tara-- it's deep, man. It will bleed all over us." Jax said to him knowing his relationship with his mother. 

"So, you sure that's-that's a business request, not some twisted mommy thing?" Nero asked.

"I untwisted my mommy thing a long time ago. You gotta stay clear of Gemma." Jax replied as he lit a cigarette.

"Huh. Okay. Okay. Yeah, let's see where this goes." Nero says.

SYBIL'S LIMO (DRIVING TO THE HANGAR)

While driving home, she received a call from Mellie that urged her to come to the White Castle. Even though she had told Olivia, she wouldn't come to their aid, it was because of her and Fitz that there was even something to record anyway. She had grabbed changeable clothes out of the trunk as She changed in the car. Once she finished, she stepped out of the car as Micheal opened the car.

August walked with her as she gave him instructions.

"Keep watch of Jax. I want to know everything Jax is doing. Why Jax is keeping Clay alive before we kill him? We do not need to fight foes when we have a lot to do." Sybil instructed.

"And the Sheriff and Lincoln Potter?" August asked.

"Keep watch of his wife. If he's getting close to the invasions, he might get in trouble. We need to stop any obstacles in our way." Sybil answered.

"And Lincoln Potter?" August asked.

"Get in contact with his supervisor, tell him all the things this Potter has been doing. I know Father probably has a minion working in the place. Get him out of here." Sybil walked up the plane's stairs before stopping.

"And also look into Jacob Hale. We need to see if we can get him into doing our bidding." Sybil said making August nod before she left. August watched as the plane left. 

"Sybil is learning." August thought.

August went back to the car, and they left. August had a list of things to do, and he would make sure everything would come out just as planned.

WHITE HOUSE LAWN

The reporters line up outside the gates of the white house. A sleek black Mercedes pulled up to the parking place, stopping the car. A heeled boot steps out as the person gets out of the car. She walked past the reporters.

" All right, guys. Let's go. Okay, let's go back and take it from the top. All right, Henry. We're going live." One reporter says.

"Only deafening silence from the White House in response to the allegations. - reporter 1

"Details are starting to emerge about Amanda Tanner ... -reporter 2 

"While the female voice on the tape can't be determined at this time, we can hear the President saying the words "take off your clothes."-reporter 3

She kept walking giving her badge to the guard before going in once she signed in and received her badge back. She walks away as most people recognize her. Olivia had already shown up to help, and her cousin was here to help. She went in walking till she hit the Oval Office.  

WHITE HOUSE - OVAL OFFICE

"You know, in Vegas you can bet on political candidates. Before I brought you on board, the odds on Grant for President were listed at 70 to 1." Cyrus says to Olivia.

"You should have put money down. You didn't." Olivia joked.

"Won enough for a nice vacation I'll never take. Think we could do it again, The impossible?" Cyrus joked before saying.

"Or we go down trying." Olivia said as they look at each other. Before the two got to work, making calls while crossing off names as they told them no,

"You publish President Grant's political obituary, and you will eat those words for the rest of your days, Tom." Olivia told the person over the phone.

"I'm just asking you to keep the damn caucuses at bay until I get you talking points." Cyrus shouted in the phone.

"Well, that's why! You should wait for the whole story. Do you want to owe your readers an entire apology?" Olivia told the next person she called.

"Everyone." Fitz shout as Olivia along with Cyrus still busied themselves. While some aides came in to bring them what they wanted.

"No, it happens."

"Yeah. No. There are a lot of--" That was enough before Fitz yelled out.

"Everyone!" making all stop to look at him.

"Hold on." Olivia said in the phone.

"I need the room. Cyrus, Olivia, stay." Fitz announced making the aides that came to help leave.

" I'm gonna need to call you back, Tom. But you are to make no decisions without talking to me first. Clear? Got it? Thank you." Olivia says before hanging up.

"I have to call you back." Cyrus says before hanging up.

" Catch me up." Fitz told them.

"Billy's making the rounds. Networks are wall-to-wall with this. Majors broke into daytime and trotted out the big g*n. We need a statement from you, on camera, preferably with Mellie by your side." Olivia said to him.

"That ship's sailed. She's taking the kids to Santa Barbara for ... a while." Fitz tells them as he places his hands on his hips.

"Fine. You alone from the Oval. A flat denial." Cyrus tells them as the footsteps came close to the door as the person wave to the aide at front.

"I'm not lying about this, Cy. Anyway, a cover-up's always worse than the truth." Fitz defended himself.

"Well, we don't have enough truth yet. There's more to this story. I'm sending you to Georgia. Milk the end of the cult standoff. It will buy us some time." Olivia mentions.

"He'll look like he's running from this." Cyrus tells her.

"He'll look Presidential. We need you business as usual, focused on what's important for the country. Wave as you walk out to Marine One. Remember, you're not dodging; you're working. We'll let that image speak for us until we figure out what Billy's up to." Olivia argued.

"Yeah." Cyrus agreed after thinking about it.

"I never thought it would be one of our own trying to sink us." Fitz started before the door opened to show the one person that could stop all of this.
