Episode #98

Chad is relaying the events with Orville to Miguel. They are trying to figure out what role Orville plays in Chad's past. The only thing that they have to trace Orville is his hat. Simone is trying to figure out what could've happened to him, and goes off into this stupid story about him getting kidnapped by men in black. They all laugh at her and Whitney tells her she's been hanging around Kay the drama queen too long. They decide to trace the hat, and they get an address for Orville. Chad leaves to go there and Simone catches up with him. They knock on the door, but no one answers. Ivy comes into Julian's library where he is opening a bottle of wine. She comes in and notices that it's a bottle of the "Crane Victory Port." He tells her she's got good eyes. She wants to know what he's celebrating todaya new company that he acquired that forced some poor bastard out on the streets. He tells her that it's on a more personal level, and Ivy asks if he's found a new maid to bed. He tells her that he's taken care of two old problems-one being Sheridan and the other being Pilar's "persistent patrolman son." He said Officer Louise wouldn't be a problem anymore. Ivy wants to know what he means by that and he tells Ivy that Luis wanted answers about his father's disappearance. She said "and what do you know about it." He said he told Luis that Martin was stealing money from Crane Industries and that he and Alistair decided to spare Pilar and help her out financially. Ivy said that it was her idea to help Pilar and she had to beg them to help her. And she couldn't imagine Martin doing anything like that. She wants to know why he's taking credit for her idea to help Pilar and what he's really up to. But, he starts seducing her again. She says she'll take a glass of port, but nothing else. He comments on her dress and says he likes what's under it even better. She tells him she has no interest and to go to hell. He starts kissing her neck and she responds. Gwen sees Ethan comforting Theresa and she sees RED. She walks up and comments that she bought him a sweater, but she sees he's found other ways to keep warm. He says that he can explain this, and she said well of course you can. Theresa comes to his defense telling her that he was just being kind b/c she found out some terrible news about her father. She kept going on and on about how great Ethan was and that he would do that for anyone that was upset. Gwen reluctantly buys this so Theresa can leave. She lays into Ethan about how these incidents with Theresa always happen and he always has an excuse. Gwen asks him how he would feel if the situation was reversed and he saw her at the ballet with another man. He said that understand why because he trusts her. She asks what about if he heard her tell another man he had sexy eyes, or she called him by another man's name. He asks her to go away with him to the cabin so they could have some alone time, and she agrees. Luis asks Sheridan not to go and she asks why. He says he has something to tell her, and she said that he already thanked her for sticking up for him. He says it's something else...it's about how he was probably wrong about her family and her. Then he had to go and put clothes on. He thanked her for waiting, and she said she had to make sure she heard him right. He says "you know how I feel about your family, right?" She replies that she thought they weren't going to go there anymore with each other, but yes, she knows b/c he's made it perfectly clear since she got into town. He says that he was wrong and told her what Julian said about his father. He told her how his father was a thief that stole from Crane Industries. Sheridan told him that she's never heard about that before. He went on to tell her about how Alistair called his father the night before he disappeared, and Sheridan was surprised to hear this. Luis told her that Julian said that he and Alistair didn't want to prosecute him because they wanted to protect Pilar. He said they eased up on the mortgage and the Christmas bonuses became larger each year. Sheridan asked if Julian told him all of this, and he told her he learned it blow by blow. She says she was sorry for everything that he went through and that he must've been really hurt when he left. He said he was hurt and he was sad, but most of all he was mad for his father walking out on his mother, his family and his entire life. He kept going on and looked like he was going to cry, and said you must think this is foolish for something that happened when I was a child to still haunt me. Sheridan had a flashback to that night, and she said she didn't think he was foolish at all. She said that just recently she found out that something that used to haunt her as a child never happened. He said something about finding a person working under Martin's SS # in New Mexico. He said that for so many years he pointed the finger at the Cranes for the breakup of his family, but he said that he was pointing it in the wrong direction. Luis told her that he owed her a big apology for judging her on the basis of her last name. He said that prejudice is prejudice and he was sorry. She reached out and touched his arm and told him not to beat himself up about it. Sheridan said she did smash into two of his police cars, broke a bottle over his head, and there was the Halloween incident. He sorta smirked at her and said now is probably not the best time to remind him of that. She said that he's probably right. He thanked her for listening and she said that she'd just go. She's on her way out and turns to see Luis bent down picking up the candle he smashed. She walks out and says that something doesn't add up with Julian's story, and she says she'll get to the bottom of it. Sheridan goes into Julian's library where he is kissing Ivy. Ivy looks semi-relieved that Sheridan saved her from that. She said she heard about what he told Luis and wants to know what he's up to. She said that he and Alistair never did anything out of the goodness of their hearts and wonders what he's hiding. He says nothing but she calls him a liar. Pilar comes out and Luis apologizes for getting so upset. He says he just wants to know the truth. Miguel comes home and Luis fills him in on what's going on. Luis says he has a plan to find his father...even if it means they have to have him arrested. Pilar and Miguel are extremely upset by this.
