Episode #27

Theresa was determined to take her new job without Ethan recognizing her. She spent most of the morning trying out new clothes, wigs, and hairstyles. She finally found the perfect disguise that made her appear completely different, as well as homely. She pulled her hair up and wore a short styled wig. The clothes she wore made her look like a librarian, and she wore dark, large-rimmed glasses. Ivy Crane did not recognize Theresa upon her arrival at the Crane mansion. Ivy obviously did not care for Theresa's new look but patronized her anyway. Ethan was busy with the sketch artist when she arrived and did not even see her. Frank, the detective/artist drew a portrait, which bore a great likeness to Theresa, but Ivy did not see the drawing. Theresa went upstairs to do Ivy's correspondence, but was shocked to run into her mother, who also did not recognize her daughter's new appearance. Charity was dreaming of Miguel and decided to catch the bus to Harmony. She attempted to make the table in her room rise with her special powers. When nothing happened, she said that if her mother were wrong about that then she might also be wrong about Harmony. Charity left to catch the bus. As she left the room, the table shook violently, and one of the angels fell to the floor and broke. She rode the bus, thinking of Miguel, and even spoke to an old lady about finding her friend. Kay worked desperately to keep Miguel from finding Charity. She tried to detain him as long as possible and offered little encouragement of his finding his dream girl. Jessica was the highlight of the scene as she continued to offer tips to Miguel on finding Charity. She suggested the bus depot as Miguel remembered Charity saying that she had needed to ride the bus to Harmony on the day of the carnival. He became very excited about Jessica's idea and was ready to race off to look for Charity. Kay stopped Miguel by reminding him of the ball game that was scheduled for that day. He almost decided to play ball, but upon Jessica's pushing, he chose to look for Charity. Kay was very annoyed at her sister's interference with her plan to keep Miguel far away from Charity. Her plan failed as Miguel and Jessica planned to search the depot. Not being outdone, Kay and Simone joined them, along with Reese, in the search. As usual, Miguel and Charity were within a few feet of one another without seeing each other. Luis went around checking on his inmates when he discovered Sheridan having a bad dream. He entered her cell and gently tried to awaken her from her dream. She rose up, thinking that she had found the man that had saved her from Jean Luc, and wrapped her arms around Luis. He sat there dumbfounded at her, and finally she opened her eyes. Realizing what she was doing and with whom, she jumped back and became defensive to Luis. He, too, became agitated at her attitude, and he left her in the cell. Sam later confronted Luis about his dealings with her and accused him of having an affair with Sheridan. He protested, and Sam played the video surveillance tape that showed the hug. Luis explained what had happened and told Sam of his and Sheridan's mutual hatred of each other. Sam had to take Luis' word for it because the tape ran out before the two of them pulled apart in disgust. Sam almost slipped and told Luis of what his deep-rooted hatred for the Crane family was before he caught himself. Luis was relieved to know that he was not the only one in town who hated the Cranes. Ethan arrived to pick up his aunt, and Luis went to open her cell. He handed her package of belongings to her and dropped the picture of Jean Luc on the floor. As the two of them both bent down to pick it up, he asked her if that was whom she thought she was hugging earlier. She became upset with Luis and told him it was none of his "damn business." Then, as he started to leave, she called out to him and offered to tell him exactly who Jean Luc was and what he meant to her.
