Episode #94

Julian is talking to Alistair on the phone and says he'll do whatever it takes even if it means sacrificing Sheridan. Ivy catches this and wonders what he meant by that. He tries to deny it, but Ivy says she knows when he's up to something. The play a cat and mouse game of trading insults, which leads to Julian trying to seduce her. It's actually working and they are on the desk when the phone rings. She tells him he'd better get it because if it's Alistair, she knows he "doesn't like to disappoint Daddy!" Ivy regains her composure and after Julian hangs up he wants to pick up where they left off. She tells him not to touch her. He says "that's right...the magic is gone. Well, it'll only be a matter of time before it returns again." Ivy laughs and tells him to HOLD his breath. She makes a comment about his infidelities over the years and that she is waiting for a real man. Julian begins laughing is his half sinister half mocking manner, and tells her that she'd lose everything if she betrayed him with another man. Ivy looks at her locket in the other room and at Sam's picture...she says "you'll never take anything away from me, Julian." Charity is still flipping out after seeing "TABITHA" spelled out in her Scrabble letters. No one is smart enough to actually look at them, so they just watch Charity freak out and try to calm her down. Kay looks on rather pleased to the fact that Charity just might be losing her mind. Tabitha manages to knock over the game and mess up the letters after Charity fainted. Kay and Simone call their parents whose evening at the Lobster Shack abruptly comes to an end. The angel is still pestering Tabitha and telling her that the evil will be exposed. Timmy is outside worriedly watching his Sweet Princess. The Bennett's and the Russell's hurry home and are trying to help Charity. The Scooby Gang tries to fill Sam and T.C. in on why Charity got freaked out, and Sam decides to see if they can reconstruct the word that got her so worked up in the first place. Tabitha gets nervous and goes outside for some air. Timmy asks her what's going on, and asks if the evil word spelled F-L-U-F-F-Y. He said that if anything was pure evil is was that "damn cat!" Tabitha calls him a nitwit and that it was her name in the letters. You can hear Miguel inside saying he figured it out Sam asks Tabitha to come in the house and asks her if she can figure out her the word. She looks at them and rearranges them to spell HABITAT. Sam and T.C. actually buy this. Grace and Eve are upstairs getting Charity in bed, and wonder what the whole "evil" thing was about. Grace remembers Faith warning her about it. Meanwhile downstairs, Kay tells Simone what she wants for Christmas. She wants a really big dog that she can train to sit outside Charity's door at night and scratch and howl. She says that could be the ticket to pushing ol' Charity right on in to the loony bin. Miguel wants to know what they are talking about, and Kay tells him something about wanting to help Charity. Pilar tells Luis that he's such a good son to her and that he didn't need to take her out to such a nice place for dinner. Anyway, Luis tells her that she deserves it because she works so hard. Pilar tells him that he is always thinking of others and not himself, and that he should take care of his needs once in a while. They discuss Martin's disappearance and Luis once again starts in on the Cranes. Pilar tells him to drop it. Sheridan and Ethan are talking about "that night" and wondering if it actually happened of if Julian was right about it being a nightmare. Sheridan says that she wishes she could believe that it was a dream, but she's just not sure. She says there is one person that can help her and they are in the Lobster Shack right now. Ethan thinks she means Luis and he tells her that it would be disastrous to involve the police, but Sheridan informs him that she meant Pilar. Ethan creates a diversion to get Luis away from the table so Sheridan can talk to Pilar. Pilar tells her that she wasn't working that night but remembers everyone telling her the next day that Sheridan wasn't to be disturbed in her room. She said she went anyway and the only thing she knows about it is what Sheridan told her she saw that night and that she murdered someone. Pilar told her that she'd never seen anyone so frightened. Alistair insisted that it was all Sheridan's imagination and Pilar never found any evidence that something actually happened. She remembers making Sheridan promise not to tell anyone outside the family. Sheridan told her that she never has. Pilar tells her that she's sorry she's been so disturbed by this for so many years. She thinks it might be best to believe Julian and put the past behind her. Sheridan tells her that she has to find out the truth no matter what. Luis is getting annoyed talking with Ethan and wants to know what he's up to, when he sees Sheridan talking to his mother. He lights into Ethan saying that the Cranes always have to pull some trick. Sheridan walks away from the table as Luis gets back. He wants to know what was so important that Sheridan had to interrupt her dinner to talk to the help. Pilar scolds him for being so hateful to them. She tells Luis that Sheridan has had a very tough time in life. He makes the comment that "finding the right nail polish to match your Ferrari can really eat away at a person!" She just gives him a fed up look and tells him that she lost her mother very young and that no amount of money can make up for that. Luis actually gets a semi-compassionate look on his face. Pilar tells him that Sheridan did do something very nice for him, and his reply was "What? When?" She tells him that Sheridan stood up to the mayor and her brother for Luis. Luis says that it was her fault in the first place. Pilar reminds him that with all the animosity between them, she didn't have to say anything at all. She encourages him to do the right thing, but it was up to him to decide what the right thing is. Ethan leaves the table to get Sheridan's coat and Luis walks up to Sheridan. She just looks at him and asks what she's done now in a tired tone. He tells her nothing. He starts stammering with his words because it's oh so difficult for him to apologize to a Crane. He tells her that he's been meaning to tell her that it was really decent for the way she stood up for him to the mayor and Julian, and that he really appreciated it. Sheridan looks shocked, and says you're serious? She says you're really serious. He says yes, I'm serious, but then he goes off saying how it doesn't change his opinion of the Crane family and they start fighting again. Sheridan tells him it's stupid to fight and says "Luis...you're welcome!" She smiles at him and he gives her a half smile and says "all right then." Then he walks away.
