Episode #97

Chad is asking Orville how he knows him and if he knows anything that could help him find out what his ties are in Harmony. Orville says he knows Chad Harris can make a great espresso. He isn't what you'd call lucid, and that is very apparent to Chad, Simone and Whitney. Later on, Orville has a good moment and tells Chad again that he remembers him and that he needs to make a phone call and then he'll tell him everything he knows. Chad goes outside to find him and Orville's hat is on top of the phone, and the phone is off the hook. Chad says "hello" into the receiver, but the person hangs up and Orville is nowhere to be found. Kay and Miguel are discussing the Thanksgiving pageant and Kay is reminiscing in the past to when Miguel would play John Smith and she would play Pocohontas. She tells him that they are a team and everyone has thought of those two as a team since they were little kids. Miguel says they make a good team, but now that Charity is here, she can join their team. Kay looks upset, but goes along with him. He says he really wants to get home so he can see Charity. Charity is in the kitchen getting Tabitha's medication for her, and Tabitha is waiting outside the door with the fire poker. Charity starts to walk out but turns around saying she forgot the water. Tabitha loses her balance and flings the fire poker across the room and nails Timmy to the wall. Tabitha frees him from the wall and walks in to finish off Charity, but Charity sees Miguel and Kay walking outside and knocks on the window. So they come in Tabitha's house and wonder what she's doing there. Miguel says he has some new moves to show her on the video game. So, they are about to leave when Charity says she has to get her jacket. Timmy reminds Tabitha about the painting and they rush in there. Miguel and Kay see the picture and tell her that it looks just like her. Charity informs them that it's her relative. Miguel says that since her last name is Standish, maybe she has some relatives in the past that knew Tabitha's relatives. Tabitha has a flashback to the ol' Puritan days, and Prudence Standish (Charity dressed up in Pilgrim attire) says that Tabitha is sentenced to death for practicing witchcraft. She says that no one can stop her and sets Prudence on fire w/some light that radiates from her eyes. They get the fire put out and Prudence says that she's to be burned alive and that she will burn in hell. End of flashback. Tabitha said that it's quite possible that their ancestors knew each other, and then the kids leave. Tabitha overhears Miguel telling Charity that she should be in the pageant this year, and Kay sees red. Kay makes some comment that she'll never let that happen, and Tabitha gets a new idea. She tells Timmy that her new plan for Charity is going to be red hot. Sheridan and Ethan are talking about how she can finally move on with her life now that the past is behind her. Gwen calls and asks to speak to Ethan. She asks him if he'd be terribly upset if she just stayed home tonight. He said that he'd enjoy a night as a bachelor and that he'd stay in and read a book. Ethan wants to know what Sheridan's plans are and she tells him that she's going to visit Pilar to see if she's all right. Pilar and Luis are still discussing Martin's disappearance. Pilar tells him that there must be a logical explanation for why he left and Luis says there isn't if he's living in New Mexico. Theresa catches the end of this and is ecstatic to the possibility that Luis found their father. He tells her not to get her hopes up and that he has something important to tell her about papa. Pilar tells him it's not a good time, but he replies that it's never a good time to hear something like this. Luis proceeds to tell her what Julian said and this upsets Theresa greatly. She gets upset and asks Luis how he can do this to their mother. He said he didn't do anything, their father did. Luis said that no matter what happens he would never run out on this family. He always did anything he could to help the family and that he would continue to do so. He says that he's going to chop some more wood, and Pilar tells him that there's enough. Luis said that he does what needs to be done for his family even if he's tired and hungry. Theresa starts talking about how Ethan is going to hate her when he finds out what her father did to his family. Pilar gets upset and tells her she has to stop living in her dream world. She tells her she's going to light Martin's candle. Theresa walks in there and asks if she ever stopped believing that Martin would return. Pilar says no, and Theresa says then don't tell me to stop having my dream of being with Ethan. She tells her mother that she needs air and she'll be back later. Luis is outside chopping wood, and he goes into flashback mode. This time it's a younger Luis, and his father is asking him if he took the candy bar from the store. Luis reluctantly tells him yes, and his father asks him what he learned in church about the 10 Commandments. Luis said "thou shall not steal." End of flashback. Luis said "yeah, you sure lived by that didn't you?" He gets really angry and starts violently chopping wood. He comes in and finds that Pilar had lit the candle again. He puts the flame out with his fingers and threw it into the fire place smashing it into pieces. Pilar comes out and starts crying. Luis just walks away. Pilar is cleaning up the glass when the doorbell rings. Sheridan is there and said she wanted to see how Pilar was doing. Pilar is visibly upset and Sheridan wants to know what's wrong. Sheridan said she wants to help her after all she has done for her in her life. Pilar tells her that she's really upset, and tired and that she needs to lay down. Sheridan tells her to go ahead and she'll let herself out. Sheridan picks up the dustpan and starts to clean up the glass for Pilar. Luis comes out wearing nothing but a towel. He had just gotten out of the shower and asks Sheridan what she is doing there. She just looks at him (staring is more like it). She starts to stand up still staring at him and drops all of the glass out of the dustpan. She tells him that she was seeing how Pilar was doing and she was just cleaning this up for her. She asks where the wastebasket is and he tells her it's by the door. She hurriedly tells him that she'll just throw this away and leave. Luis goes after her and says "wait...don't go!" Theresa is on the docks or somewhere crying and Ethan walks by her. He notices that it's Theresa and wants to know what's wrong. She tells him what Julian told Luis about her father and asks Ethan if he hates her now and if he's going to get her fired from her job. She is crying pretty hard and he tells her that it's not her fault for whatever her father did or didn't do. He wraps her up in a big hug to calm her down and then Gwen walks by and sees them!
