Episode #149

The two are in bed together and Gwen is telling Ethan how glad she is they are together and the whole Theresa mess is behind them. He agrees and she tells him she's sorry she ever let it come between them in the first place. Ethan tells her not to worry about it and to just concentrate on their relationship. Later he tells her he hopes she can see Theresa for who she really is...a kind and caring girl. He keeps talking about Theresa and Gwen gets upset and says she doesn't want to talk about her, especially when they are in bed together. Gwen tells him she has a surprise for him. She tells him it's something he's wanted for a while but couldn't get. He asks her what it is because he's spoiled and usually gets what he wants. She tells him she's ready to give him her answer to his marriage proposal and asks if he is ready to hear it. He tells her no, he's not ready to hear it and she looks like she's been thrown for a major loop. Julian is getting papers out of his precious wall safe when Pilar comes in. She startles him and he drops the papers on the floor. She goes to pick them up and he insists that he can do it. Pilar asks him if those papers have anything to do with her family. He tells her that's absurd. She reminds him that David brought down Goliath and she doesn't want to see anyone from either family hurt. He tells her he doesn't either. Pilar says she values her job very much, but her family means more than anything and she tells Julian she would hate to see Luis hurt by this family. Julian asks her why he would be and she tells him Luis has a bad temper and still believes that the Cranes had something to do with Martin's disappearance. She also comments on Sheridan and Luis growing closer and Julian tells her that Sheridan would never get involved with her son. She turns to leave and tells him if that is true, he has nothing to be afraid of. He calls Alistair and tells him they have a big problem. Julian tells his father that he's done everything to keep Luis and Sheridan apart and to keep Luis from investigating the family. Alistair tells him that isn't enough and they have to do more. Julian tells him of Pilar's suspicions. Alistair says he doesn't know much about Luis, but he knows Pilar and tells Julian not to underestimate her as she is extremely smart. Julian thinks this is funny but Alistair tells him to be careful. He also says they have to stop Luis and Sheridan's romance before it begins and they will do so tonight. Theresa is sitting on her bed typing her diary in her laptop. She is talking about how fate saved her again and thinks about Chuck kissing her at the Lobster Shack. She thinks about how that surely made Ethan jealous and they will be together. She gets a message on her screen asking if she will connect to a call. She sets up the video and clicks yes. It's Chuck and she thanks him again for everything he did for her. He tells her it was no problem and if she would consider going out on a date with him when he came back into town. Theresa tells him she's flattered, but she only has eyes for one boy. He tells her he hopes he is as crazy about her as she is him. She tells him it's only a matter of time. Fate is on her side. She shows up at the Crane mansion and Pilar says she's glad to see her and inquires about what happened at the Lobster Shack. She asks if she's okay. Theresa tells her she's better than okay. Pilar says she thought they would be furious at her and she would be fired. Theresa tells her that fate came to her rescue once again and Whitney's friend Chuck posed as her boyfriend and made Gwen look like a fool. Pilar scolds her and warns her that it will blow up in her face. Theresa says it won't because fate is on her side and she and Ethan are meant to be together. Pilar yells at her and tells her their family can never get involved with the Cranes. She asks if it is because they are from different social classes and Pilar says yes. She says that if Ethan were to fall for her, his family would never allow it to happen. The same goes for Sheridan and Luis. Theresa laughs and says that's absurd because Luis hates all things Crane and they aren't meant to be like she and Ethan. She says she's going to go upstairs to see Ethan and Pilar tells her he's upstairs in bed with Gwen. Theresa gets upset and says she's going to see him and let him know what a big mistake he's making! Reese is looking up stuff on the fish when he hears Timmy yell "Princess" and he turns around and freaks out when he sees Tabitha's head in the fishbowl. Tabitha tells Timmy to throw something else from the bag into the bowl and when he does, she turns back into the fish. Miguel and Charity came into the kitchen and Reese tells him he saw Tabitha's head in the fishbowl. They tell him that's crazy and Charity says Tabitha is always popping up and he probably just saw her face magnified through the bowl when she was looking in the window. He agrees. Miguel says he needs to talk to Luis so he's going to the Youth Center and asks them to come along. Charity agrees but Reese wants to look up more on the fish. Charity makes him promise to take good care of the fish and he says he will. Once they leave, Tabitha tells Timmy to get her out of there ASAP and he starts to pick up the bowl when Reese sees him and yells for him to stop. He gets up but trips on the chair and falls and hits his head on the floor. Sheridan and Luis continue with their tango which is HOT HOT HOT!!! The looks they are giving each other are smoldering. Kay and Simone comment on how hot that dance is and Kay fantasizes about doing the tango with Miguel. He has this pencil thin mustache which is so funny. Kay snaps out of it and tells Simone that if she can get Miguel to dance with her like that, he will surely fall for her. Simone just rolls her eyes. Miguel and Charity walk in and watch Sheridan and Luis finish the tango. When it ends everyone claps and they just stare at one another for a moment before pulling away. Luis just walks off leaving Sheridan standing there. Kay, Simone and Charity walk up to her and tell her how great that was. Charity says they looked like one person while they were dancing. Kay tells her that's crazy because everyone knows how Luis and Sheridan hate each other and they were just dancing. Sheridan says she didn't realize people were talking but she and Luis get along just fine and he is a very nice man. Charity says it's more than that...she's in love with him. Sheridan turns away and wonders if she could be in love with Luis. Kay says that's crazy because Luis would never get involved with a Crane. Charity apologizes for saying anything, but she gets the feeling that she loves Luis and Luis loves her back. Miguel walks over to Luis and tells him that dance with Sheridan was intense. Luis says it was just a dance but Miguel doesn't buy that. He says they looked so into it. Luis says he'd never get involved with a Crane because they have no values and all they care about is money. Miguel asks if he would deny his feelings for her simply because she's a Crane. He says yes, but there's nothing to deny. Miguel doesn't buy it and Sheridan and Luis keep stealing looks from one another. Reese runs in and tells him the fish is gone. Charity asks what happens and he said he saw a little boy in a wizard costume take it from the window. Kay tells him that sounds nuts. He tells them he did hit his head and Kay says he probably dreamed the rest. Charity says they should go to Tabitha's and check it out because she might have something to do with it. They leave and Sheridan and Luis continue to stare at one another. She finally breaks the silence and says she should go. She gets her coat and Luis helps her put it on. They say goodnight and he stops her. He starts to say something but can't get it out. Then he blurts out "you wanna go out with me tonight?" Sheridan looks shocked and then Luis says he doesn't want to make her uncomfortable and says to just forget it. She says yes, she would like to go out with him and he gives her a big smile. Timmy gets Tabby back into the house and tries to find the right spell to turn her human. He does one and it turns her into a mermaid. Reese, Charity, Miguel and Kay arrive at her house and are standing on the front porch about to ring the doorbell.

Episode #148

Sheridan is sleeping on the couch in her cottage dreaming about the kiss she just had with Luis and she gets a smile on her face. Then we see Luis at the youth center smiling too as he remembers the kiss also. Hank walks up and says I know that look. Your in love. Who's the lucky girl? Luis just smiles. Luis says ok I was thinking about a woman. Hank says I knew it. What were you and this woman doing? Luis says kissing. Hank says oh then you were thinking about Beth. Luis says it wasn't Beth. Hanks says ok then who were you kissing. Luis looks at Hank and says it was Sheridan. Hank has a worried look on his face. The next scene Pilar walks into Sheridan's cottage. Sheridan says have you talked to Luis yet today? She says yes. Luis told me what happened last night in the library. Sheridan says he told you we kissed? (Pilar looks shocked) Luis kissed you? Sheridan I am so sorry Luis had no right. I will go talk to him (she turns to walk away) Sheridan says no, no, no, the truth is it was my idea. Pilar says I don't understand. Sheridan says I kissed Luis so Julian wouldn't get suspicious about what we were really up to. I don't think the Cranes had anything to do with Martin's disappearance that's why I am helping Luis to prove it, because once we do he can get on with his life. Pilar says I know he has questions he wants answered, but I had no idea it had gotten this serious. Sheridan says Luis told me he can't even think about getting married or settling down until he knows what happened to his father. Pilar says why risk your family turning against you just to help Luis. Sheridan says Luis gave me a second chance at life when he saved me. I just want to do the same thing for him. I am repaying a debt. That's all. Pilar says are you sure that's the only reason you are helping my son? Sheridan says the only thing I feel for Luis is gratitude for saving my life. Pilar says I'm glad to here you say that Julian and Alistair would be most unhappy to here you were dating my son. Sheridan says I don't care what my brother or father think I will fall in love with the man that steals my heart not somebody that they approve of. Pilar asks again about Luis and Sheridan assures here that they are nothing more than friends. Pilar reminds Sheridan that her community service at the youth center is almost up and after that she doubts they will cross paths again. Sheridan looks said as Pilar walks away. Luis tells Hank about the story of Julian catching them and they had to kiss to cover. Hanks says good I thought there was more than that. Luis says I'd never steal a friend's woman. If I start dating again it wouldn't be a rich woman like Sheridan. Hank says I know it's crazy to think of you and Sheridan together. Then Hank reminds Luis about Sheridan's community service almost being up. Luis looks upset. hank says are you ok? Luis says I'm fine. Then he says to himself not seeing Sheridan again and looks upset. Sheridan walks into the youth center and they talk about why Julian put the alarm system in and they both disagree on why he did it Luis says he is hiding something and Sheridan says it is to protect the family. Sheridan says let's just agree to disagree. Then Sheridan says she got a notice in the mail about her community service almost being up. They look at the time log for the community service and it's obvious they both wish it was more time left. Luis thinks to himself 3 hours? that's all she has left? That can't be right. The he tells Sheridan you have 20 hours left. 20 not 10 and smiles? Hank questions the hours. Sheridan says I believe him. Julian is on his couch reading the paper. Ivy walks in and says Julian one of the staff said you wanted to see me. Julian says yes, Ivy. What do you know about Sheridan's relationship with Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald? Ivy says what relationship? I mean Sheridan is grateful to Luis for saving her life, but other than that I was under the impression that she couldn't stand him. Julian says I thought the same thing until I caught them in here last night kissing. (Ivy looks shocked) kissing? Well, it would seem that last night was one full of kisses (she remembers back to last night when she saw Sam & Grace kissing). Julian says who did you see kissing last night that put that lovesick look on your face? Ivy says no one in particular and as for Sheridan perhaps she was just thanking Luis for saving her life. Julian says my sister has always has abominable taste in men. Ivy says if your done I have to go I have things to do. Julian says wait let me show you the new silent alarm. Ivy says what alarm. Julian says I had a laser alarm installed for the wall safe (he turns it on and we see two laser beams shoot across in front of the safe) Ivy says Oh now I get it that's why you were concerned about Luis and Sheridan being in this room. That alarm has something to do with Martin Fitzgerald. Doesn't it? ivy says your worried Luis is going to find out what you and Alistair has to do with his father's disappearance. Your afraid of Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, aren't you? Julian just stares at Ivy. I'm not frightened. The alarm is just to protect the family. Julian says you should fire Pilar she might start snooping. Ivy says I'm not going to fire Pilar. Julian leaves as Pilar walks in. Ivy and Pilar talk about what happened between Luis & Sheridan last night. Ivy says Julian is afraid of Luis. Pilar says she the only threat I see to this family is the relationship you seem intent on rekindling with Sam Bennett. She says I can't help it I love Sam and always will. Ivy says let's not talk about it. I have to go watch out for the safe. Whatever Julian has in it he is hell bent on protecting it. Pilar walks into Julian office just as he is opening his safe and he is startled and drops his papers he was getting out they both look at them. Timmy is sleeping in a cage in Tabitha's living room, and we hear Fluffy growling. Timmy wakes up and the camera pans down to the floor and w see Timmy has set up barb wire all around the cage and mouse traps. Timmy says thank goodness Timmy thought to keep Fluffy at bay since Tabitha isn't around to help him. Poor Tabitha, a fish? The Timmy remembers back to the graveyard when Charity found Tabitha the fish in the fish bowl and said she was taking it home with her. Then Timmy stand up in his cage and usees his binoculars to see over the Bennett house and he can see Tabitha the fish in the fishbowl on the window seal. He says how am I going to rescue her? Sam and Grace are in bed and Sam is kissing Grace on the cheek. Sam says Happy? Grace says yes, delirious. Then Grace looks at the clock and says look at the time. I have to go make breakfast for the kids. Sam says I smell coffee one of the kids must be making breakfast. They start kissing. Then grace says, but still I have to get up, and says last night was wonderful, but you know what they says all good things have to end. Same says, not today. I am going to take the whole day off just to show my wife how much I love. They start kissing again. Miguel walks in and says good morning to Charity and Jessica and then he see the fish still on the window sill and says I see that fish you found lived through the night. Miguel asks Charity if she still feels connected to it? Charity says I know it's weird, but yeah I do. Jessica leaves to go wake up Kay and Simone and tell them breakfast is ready. (We see Simone and Kay just as they have come downstairs and their hair is all messed up and Kay is yawing and has mascara all around her eyes) Jessica says better go tell dad there is a raccoon loose in the house. Kay says stick a sock in it rat face, I can't be drop dead gorgeous all the time. Just when Miguel is around. Jessica says about Miguel ... Kay interrupts her and says by the time I see Miguel this afternoon I will be the stunning beauty you only wish you could be and starts to walk towards the kitchen. Jessica says Kay you don't want to go in the kitchen. Kay says unless your serving breakfast in here yes I do. Jessica says well don't say I didn't warn you. Kay walks in and Miguel and she look at each other and Miguel smiles and Kay runs out of the kitchen. Jessica says Simone don't look at me I tried to warn her. Simone says something tell me this is just going to be one of those days. The next scene Kay comes back into the kitchen all dressed and with make-up on. She says here let me make breakfast. Grace and Sam walk in and see Kay with an apron on and look shocked like Kay can't boil water and say Kay honey, what are you doing? Kay says stop you know I love to cook. There is a knock at the door it's Reese. Reese says something smells good. Kay says it's bacon. Why don't you sit down before some bacon grease gets on you. Accidentally of course. Reese says he is working on trying to discern what type of fish it was that Charity brought home last night. Sam and Grace say that is one ugly fish. Reese says I'm going to dissect it to use its organs to determine it's true identity. Charity yells no! (Tabitha thinks help me Timmy save me from Reese) Then they cut away to Timmy and he says Tabitha? and looks all around. Then he says oh Timmy's princess must be using ESP to communicate with him. Tabitha says Timmy save me before junior Jacques Cousteau fillets me into oblivion. Miguel says don't worry Charity I wont let Reese dissect the fish. Then Charity tells Grace & Sam about her premonitions. Reese says I have heard ESP runs in familles. Grace says well Faith says she had feelings of doom the night she died. Tabitha tells Timmy she can't stay in the state much longer and Timmy better hurry to save her in time. Timmy says he doesn't know how. Timmy says there is one problem -- Timmy locked himself in the cage and now he is kind of stuck. Timmy says how am I going to save Tabitha? Grace & Sam are kissing. Charity and Miguel say how sweet it is a love like that. Then Kay throws the pan of burning bacon into the sink. Knocking over the fish bowl and Charity says oh no the fish is going down the sink. Timmy hears Tabitha say she needs help and Timmy gets out of the cage and keeps Fluffy at bay by snapping a whip at her. Charity saves the fish from going down the sink. Timmy says he read the tome and knows how to help her. Tabitha says do the incantation. Sam says to Jessica, Kay is upset she ruined breakfast can you go to the Java cafe and get breakfast? She says sure. Grace and Sam go upstairs. Charity and Miguel go off to work at Grace's shop. Kay says to Simone come with me I have a plan. Sam and Grace are sitting in their room doing their taxes and Grace finds a bank account that is only in Sam's name and asks him why is he keeping things from her? Sam says you spoiled my surprise I was saving money to take you on a vacation to that lodge we went to. Grace says I can believe I was jealous of Ivy and the whole time you were planning this romantic getaway. Reese continues to look trying to find out what type of fish Tabitha is. Timmy does the incantation. The water in the bowl turn white and Timmy thinks he has killed Tabitha. Jessica brings doughnuts to Miguel & Charity at the shop. Miguel says no chocolate? That's Charity's favorite. Jessica tells them she left the chocolate donuts at the house. Charity says that's ok I wanted to go back and check on the fish anyway. They leave. Ivy walks into the shop and sees Jessica. Ivy thinks to herself that if she stays here long enough she might run into Sam. Kay and Simone walk into the community center and Kay tells Simone about her plan to get Sheridan to teach her the tango so she can dance with Miguel and get him to fall in love with her. She asks Sheridan and Sheridan says she needs a partner and Kay asks Luis and he says ok anything for Sam's daughter. And Kay said make the dance hot and sexy like you did last summer. Sheridan and Luis chuckle. Kay starts the music and they begin to tango. They are so close they are practically kissing. Back at the shop. Jessica and Ivy chat and Ivy gives Jessica list of things she wants her to get for Julian's associates. Jessica says I can't believe it dad said for me to make lots of money today so he could afford to take mom on that trip. Jessica tells Ivy about the lodge. Ivy looks upset and she says I'm going to make this romantic getaway something Sam never forgets. Back at the house Sam & Grace talk about the trip. Back at the youth center Luis & Sheridan are still dancing. They stare into each other's eyes. Kay says wow I hope Miguel looks at me the way Luis looks at Sheridan. Back at the house Timmy sees that his spell has turned Tabitha the fish into Tabitha's head in a fish bowl. Reese looks shocked. Timmy says she's b-a-a-ck.

Episode #147

Grace and Sam walk into the Book Cafe. They had just seen a movie and Sam was asking her if she liked it or not. She is a little out of it and he asks her if she's ok. Grace says she's fine but the movie made her wonder if every man goes through a mid-life crisis. (My guess is that they saw American Beauty) He jokes and tells her he'll let her know when he gets there. Kay, Reese, Charity, Miguel and Jessica walk in and say hello. They go sit on the couch and Charity comments on how in love Aunt Grace and Uncle Sam are. Kay looks and says that's disgusting and hope they don't act like that when they are 50. Miguel says it's romantic. He then asks Charity if she's still having premonitions and she tells him that she is and they are getting stronger. Reese then says he almost forgot, but tonight is Witches Night. Everyone gets excited and Charity asks what that is. Miguel tells her that it's an old Harmony tradition that one night out of the year all the witches that were burned at the stake 300 years ago try to come up from their graves. Charity gets a little spooked and Jessica assures her they didn't see any witches last year. Miguel says he's not going to go if Charity doesn't feel comfortable. Kay has a little fantasy about being in the cemetery and Charity gets freaked out and Miguel tells her to lighten up and she should be more like Kay. Kay snaps out of it and tells Miguel that's awfully sweet of him to skip it considering how much fun he had last year as he talked about it for months afterward. Charity says she'll go along so he won't have to miss it. Jessica tells Kay she's deliberately trying to scare Charity and Kay says she's amusing in the broad daylight, she can't wait to see what she does in the dark cemetery. Jessica tells her she's sick. Grace and Sam are at a table and Grace gets upset and he asks her what is wrong. She tells him it's stupid because she has the best husband and the most beautiful family, but she can't get the image of Ivy in his arms on New Year's Eve out of her head. He tells her that's ridiculous and she agrees, but it was that darn magazine article that Kay had. He tells her if it is true, then her best friend Eve would be with Julian. Grace says and Kay would be with Miguel but she knows how much he loves Charity. Sam tells her he only wants to be with her and he wants to be alone with her all night. They kiss and Ivy walks in and Sam sees her. She says hello and Grace invites her to join them. Sam says no because he wants to be alone with Grace and Ivy agrees that she doesn't want to intrude on their personal time. Grace tells Sam that was rude because she likes Ivy as a person. Sam tells her to forget about her and he's going to call the station to let them know not to interrupt him tonight. Grace makes her way over to Ivy and she is crying while reading a book. Grace asks her what is wrong and Ivy tells her it's a very good book. She says it's about a woman looking to recapture her lost love. Grace asks how it ends and Ivy tells her that one woman is crushed and the other one is extremely happy. Grace says she feels bad for anyone who has lost their one true love. Sam sees them talking and is not happy. Grace goes to use the phone and Sam tells Ivy he can de-claw her by telling Grace about them. He says he feels nothing for her and to stay away. Theresa is thanking Chuck again for saving her. Whitney comes over to them and Theresa thanks her for all of her help. Meanwhile, Gwen and Ethan are at the table and he tells her she has no reason to be suspicious any longer. Gwen tells him she's not so sure and she has a few more questions for Chuck. Ethan is right on her heels as she makes her way over to them. She asks them where they met and Theresa said school and Chuck said the park. Gwen looks victorious but Theresa explains that she noticed Chuck at school, but since he was a couple of years older than her, he didn't know she existed. Chuck first noticed her at the park. Ethan says he knew there was an explanation and tells Theresa he needs to talk to her and leaves Gwen and Chuck to get acquainted. He thanks Theresa for letting Gwen meet her boyfriend because now they can get married. Theresa tells him not to thank her for that. He says he really does because without her this wouldn't have happened. Theresa tells him she doesn't believe they control their destinies. It is all up to fate. Gwen asks Chuck how Theresa's family feels about him, especially her older brother the cop, oh what's his name. He doesn't have an answer and when Theresa and Ethan return she tells Ethan how odd it is that she and Chuck have been dating for a while but he doesn't know the name of her older brother. Theresa explains that Chuck has never met Luis because he is very overprotective and he wouldn't approve of her dating someone so seriously. Ethan says that's right because he doesn't know that she works for Ivy. Gwen asks Chuck what he does for a living and if Theresa just pays him to be her boyfriend. Gwen then says she was kidding and Ethan tells her it wasn't very funny. Chuck tells them he doesn't have a job because he has been very fortunate that his family did so well and he lives off of a trust fund. He said his great grandfather invented the paper clip. Gwen tells him she doesn't think so because her great grandfather was good friends with that man...his name was Charles Wilson. Chuck says yes, and he is named after him. They call him Chuck for short. Gwen apologizes. He says he has to leave and asks Theresa if she is coming. She says she's going to hang around because she just saw Whitney. He kisses her good-bye and tells Ethan and Gwen it was nice to meet them. They all leave and Whitney comes over to Theresa and tells her that was close. Outside, Gwen says she can't believe she was wrong and she guesses that Theresa wasn't in love with him all along. Ethan tells her that he loves her and only her and that is all that matters. He kisses her and Theresa sees them. She gets upset and Whitney reminds her that Ethan loves Gwen. She tells her that he only thinks he does because he hasn't realized his feelings for her yet. Theresa says Gwen may have him now, but she will have him forever as Whitney just gets that annoyed look on her face. Timmy is looking for the pouch but he can't seem to find it. He picks up a paper weight off of the desk and slams it down in frustration. Well, that did the trick and opened the secret compartment and out came the bag. Upstairs, Julian is on the phone with Alistair who asks him if he has his gun. Julian tells him he does and he will use it on whoever is down there. Alistair asks him if that includes Officer Luis and he tells him especially Officer Luis. He can't help it if someone gets shot for intruding in the house as accidents do happen. Sheridan and Luis are standing outside the library and he asks her if she wants to back out. She tells him no and if there is information of any kind they will find it. They open the door to the library and Timmy runs to hide behind the couch. Luis says there has to be a way to get that baby open without tripping the alarm. He gets annoyed and starts moving his arm a little too much when he was talking and Sheridan grabs it. She apologizes but said his arm was close to the beam. He thanks her and they hear the door open. Julian walks in and says "what the hell" when he sees Sheridan and Luis kissing. Luis tells Sheridan he thought that no one was home. She says she thought so too and asks Julian what he is doing. Julian tells her to nevermind but wants to know why he is in the house, and more importantly in his library. Sheridan tells him they were on a date and she invited Luis in for a tour and a brandy and she knew that the good brandy was in here. Julian tells her it's by the bar not the safe. Sheridan plays dumb and says she forgot the safe was even in there. Julian informs them that the alarm was tripped. She says she didn't know he had an alarm and asks when that was installed. He tells her he was going to tell her in the morning. He asks if Luis tripped the alarm while they were cavorting and she tells him they weren't cavorting they were just kissing. Luis tells him to put the gun down and he points it back and forth from Luis to Sheridan. He finally puts the gun down and she thanks Julian for ruining her date and she and Luis start to leave. He tells them to stop because he notices that someone had been messing with the papers on his desk. Sheridan says if they are messed up it's because they were leaned up against the desk while they were kissing. Luis looks like he's going to laugh but manages not to. Julian tells Luis he can leave but he needs a word with Sheridan. She says they can talk in the morning and he tells her no because Father wouldn't like it. At his mention, she apologizes to Luis and he thanks her for everything. Julian tells her that Father is going to be upset when he finds out about the scum she is seeing. She tells him she is a grown woman and they can't tell her what to do. She leaves and goes back to her cottage. Julian calls Alistair and says he is pretty sure that Luis was the one that tripped the alarm, but when he got there, he found Sheridan in his arms. Alistair doesn't seem to like this and says he knew Sheridan was the weak link. He tells Julian they have a big problem on their hands and Julian says he knows and he will take care of it as he picks up his gun. Sheridan is in her cottage and says aloud "I wonder if he'll call" as she thinks about kissing him in the library. The scene shows Luis thinking about it too and he smiles and says "Sheridan Crane" and walks off. Tabitha is wondering what is taking Timmy so long and Matilda tells her she has seen how she threatens him with that mangy cat and she wouldn't be surprised if he was halfway to Las Vegas by now. Tabitha tells her he probably got held up but he'll save her. The Scooby Gang arrives and Kay hollers for the witches to come and get them. Miguel says something to her and she tells everyone she's not a nervous nellie and turns around and shouts "BOO!" and they all jump. Charity says she has the feeling now more than ever about someone needing her help. Tabitha and Matilda wonder what they are doing there and she asks Matilda to get rid of them. She stirs up a wind and some howling and it spooks the kids. Reese pulls out his bible and tells the witches to get back. The wind stops and Kay asks how he did that. They are all freaked and Miguel turns to talk to Charity but can't find her. Timmy is about to reach Tabitha when he sees the kids hanging around. Miguel finds Charity by the fishbowl and she tells him she knew someone needed her help. Reese asks if that is some sort of ritual to summon witches and he wants to dissect it. Jessica tells him that's gross and Charity tells him that no one is touching this fish. She says she can't explain it, but she feels like she can read the fish's soul. Kay says to Jessica "case closed, she's mental!" Reese tells her it's possible as he believes in reincarnation. Kay wonders why they can't fall in love because they are perfect for each other. They pick up the fishbowl and take it home. Timmy says he's sorry he didn't get there sooner and asks Matilda to help Tabitha. She says she's sorry but she can't. She also says if Tabitha doesn't get back to her old self soon, she could be a fish forever. Timmy makes it back to the Bennett's and is looking through the window and says he needs a way to get Tabitha out.

Episode #146

Chad and Simone are talking about his past and Simone brings up the fact that she doesn't know any of her mom's relatives. He finds this strange, but Simone tells him they are all dead, so her mom is weary to talk about it. Chad thinks that he will never find anything out on his past and maybe he should just give up. Simone asks him if he is leaving Harmony and he tells her he might. She tells him not to give up because the answers are out there. Chad asks why she is so nice to him and she tells him she just wants him to be happy. He says she is the best thing to happen to him since he came to Harmony, and he'll stay. Orville's neighbor showed up and is still trying to get Beth to buy the bird. Beth tells her money is tight after the holidays and the lady tells her that money is tight all the time for her. Beth tells the lady to sit down and she will bring her some coffee and cookies on the house. The lady puts the bird back in the bag and wonders what secrets it holds. Chad of course does not see the bird. Theresa asks Ethan if he would hate her if he found out she lied. He says he could never hate anyone, but he wouldn't ever want to see her again. Tears start streaming down her face and Gwen tells her just to get it over with and admit that she has been lying. She's about to tell him the truth when Chuck walks over to them and kisses her on the forehead. He apologizes for being late and introduces himself to Ethan and Gwen. Theresa breathes a big sigh of relief as Chuck helps her with her chair. He tells Ethan and Gwen he is glad to finally meet them and they were probably wondering if he actually existed. Gwen just sits and looks suspiciously at him but Ethan seems to buy it. A song comes on and tells Theresa it is the song they danced to on their first date. While they are dancing, Theresa said she doesn't know who he is, but he is an angel and that fate saved her again. He said she should thank Whitney because she persuaded him to do this. Apparently he plays tennis with Whitney and he owed her for helping him with his backhand. Chuck tells her that Gwen looks angry and she says because she's been outsmarted. He says he's glad to help but he doesn't know what to say if they ask more questions. Theresa says she is sure they won't. Ethan tells Gwen that her boyfriend does exist and they can get on with their lives. Gwen says she isn't so sure and she has a few more questions for Chuck. Eve walks into Orville's room and says she needs to talk to him about Chad. He says he's sleepy and she tells him he's not going to do this to her again. Orville asks if she's going to burn down his room like she did his apartment. She tells him of course not and she is sorry about his apartment. He tells her it's for the best that way no one will find out the secret. He also says as long as she keeps Chad away from her daughters, everything will be fine. Eve says she doesn't want them around a street punk like Chad anyway, but wants to know why he is insisting they keep away. Orville just tells her it will be disastrous. She says that no one can find out about her and Julian and hopes that there isn't any information left out there that can link them together. Orville tells her it's all ashes by now and to not worry about it. Timmy is getting instructions to go get the doeskin bag at the Cranes. Matilda says she needs it to turn the ugly fish back into the ugly witch and starts laughing. Tabitha insults her about being ugly and Timmy yells for them to stop. He is about to embark on an important mission because a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Tabitha tells him he's not a man, he's a doll. Tabitha asks Matilda if she can help him out at all and she says no way. Timmy begs her to help and she says she's always had a soft spot for a cute face. She does a little spell and we next see Timmy wearing all black. He has dark black sunglasses, black jeans, a black shirt with the letter M on it and a long black leather coat. Timmy is really proud of his wear and says he is the Matrix Man! He leaves Tabby in the graveyard and heads to the Crane Mansion. Sheridan tells Luis that Ivy is going to a fundraiser and that Julian is going on a business trip, so they will be alone in the mansion to look around. Luis asks her if she knows what she's getting into and she tells him she wants to help. He tells her if he finds anything that implicates the Cranes in Martin's disappearance, he will stop at nothing in bringing them down. Sheridan says she knows that but she can't believe that Julian and Alistair are evil enough to ruin another family. Luis tells her he's not so sure. Sheridan tells him her mind is made up and they can go to the mansion. She decides to call the house to make sure everyone is gone first. She gets Julian's machine, so she said the coast is clear. Julian is on the phone with Alistair and he is telling his son it's not a good idea to keep those documents in the safe. Julian tells him that he just had a new laser alarm system installed so no one can get to it. He sees a call coming in from the cottage and Alistair tells him to ignore it. Alistair also tells him he has talked to Sheridan about staying away from Luis and that he played on her insecurities by reminding her about the losers she has hooked up with in the past. Julian asked if he is still using that card, and Alistair says that it always works, so why change it. He tells Julian to keep an eye on her because she is the family's weak link. Alistair asks if Luis has been snooping around and Julian tells him no. Daddy tells his son that if Luis gets anywhere near the truth to take care of him. Julian asks what he means and Alistair asks if he has to spell everything out for him. He says if Luis gets too close, he needs to be killed. Julian tells him they aren't the Coreleone's. (Or something like that) Alistair says no, they are the Cranes, and keeping the status and wealth that they do sometimes requires drastic measures. Julian sets the alarm and tells his father he will call him back. He calls Sheridan but doesn't get an answer and wonders where she went. He takes the back stairs so as not to keep Daddy waiting. Luis and Sheridan enter the mansion and Luis asks where they should look first. She tells him the library. If Julian is hiding something, it would be in there. They go into the library and Sheridan is about to go for the wall safe when Luis grabs her arm to stop her. He asks if she has a compact in her purse and she tells him yes, the one he gave her. He smiles and says "you use it." She tells him of course she is using it. He blows some of the powder in the direction of the safe and sees the lasers. She asks what that is and he tells her it's a fancy alarm system. Sheridan tells him she was in there the other day getting a book and it wasn't there. Luis tells her that maybe it was just installed. She asks how they turn it off and he says the main connection is probably in the basement, so they go to check it out. Timmy is looking through the window and lets himself into the mansion. He takes a look around and says he could get used to living in a place like this. He has a little fantasy of his own. He is wearing a top hat and a tuxedo. He begins tap dancing and takes a drink of his martimmy. Heidi the nurse comes down the stairs dressed like Marilyn Monroe and asks Timmy if she can have one of those. He asks her how she'd like it and she says "straight up." Timmy just looks slyly at the camera and then shakes out of his dream. He says he needs to find the desk so he can get the pouch. He goes into Julian's library and begins to look around. Sheridan and Luis come up from the basement as they couldn't find the main connection. He tells her that whoever installed that system, went to great lengths to keep it hidden. Sheridan says that maybe he's securing some jewels or money. Luis asks her why it wasn't installed a long time ago then and it's really suspicious. Sheridan thinks she hears something but thinks she must be paranoid. She tells Luis that Julian would kill her if he knew she let him in there to snoop around. He thanks her again for all that she is putting on the line for him. He says that his life is on hold and nothing can get in the way of his investigation --- including a relationship. She says she knows that and that's why she's helping him. Timmy gets into Julian's chair and is looking for the secret compartment on the desk. It triggers the alarm and Julian sees that it is going off while he is on the phone with Alistair. He tells him what is going on and Alistair asks what he's going to do about it. Julian says it depends on who is downstairs. Alistair tells him he has a gun and to use it. Julian gets his gun out and prepares to go downstairs!

Episode #145

Chad is working at the Book Cafe and Simone walks up to him and asks him how he's doing and if he's heard anything about Orville's apartment. He tells her he's okay but his place is still sealed off for investigation. Chad says he wishes he knew what Eve was doing there that night. Simone defends her saying she is Orville's doctor and if she said she was looking for medical history that is what she was doing. Chad says he would like to believe that, but he can't. Eve asks Orville if anyone knows about the information in the bird and he tells her no. She says then it should all be burned up now because of the fire. Orville tells her it's better this way. Orville's neighbor is cleaning up the bird and says she's going to pay Orville a visit. If he pays her the money he owes her, he can have the bird back. Otherwise, she's going to pawn it and get some money. She is visiting Orville when Eve walks in. She says she was just leaving and Eve asks who that was. Orville tells Eve that that woman is a big pain in his rear. She asks him if that woman knows anything, but he assures her she doesn't know a thing. The lady goes over to the Book Cafe and asks Beth if she'd be interested in buying the bird to spice up the place. The Scooby Gang is having coffee at the Book Cafe and Charity is telling everyone about her premonitions. Kay gives her a look like she's completely crazy and asks what her visions are about. Charity says she can't put her finger on it, but someone is swimming in a very small place. Kay gets up to tell Simone about Charity believing she's psychic. She even comments that she'll probably get her own 1-900 number. Simone says maybe she is psychic and Kay tells her to get real. Charity asks if they think she's crazy and they tell her no. Reese says there has been a lot of scientific research on ESP and Miguel says maybe she does have it. Charity starts to buy into this load of crap and thinks that maybe she was psychic, she just can't remember. Timmy is talking to Tabitha and is asking how to help her. She tells him to decode the riddle and he informs her he's not good at riddles. He picks her up and takes her to the cemetery and tells her he's going to get Matilda to help. Tabitha tells him not to do that because she would never help and besides, he doesn't know the first thing about summoning a person from the grave. Timmy tells her that he's been watching her and he's like a sponge. He pulls out two small maracas and starts doing a little dance chanting Matilda's name. Tabitha tells him he's amusing, but that won't work. Then he shouts her name loudly over and over again and Tabby again tells him that won't work. But, she was wrong, because out came a cranky Matilda from her grave asking who disturbed her slumber and why. Timmy tells her that Tabitha needs her help. She tells him she can't and won't help Tabitha. Timmy begs and says he has to do everything to help his princess because they have been through a lot together. There was a little Timmy Tabitha montage here...really cute!!! Matilda says she won't help, but invites him to join her for dinner. Timmy questions this and she tells him they are going to have sushi as she levitates the fishbowl. Timmy grabs it and says he won't let her hurt his princess. Matilda then says he'll have more than Fluffy to worry about and produces a demon cat that hisses at Timmy. Timmy protects the fishbowl and tells the cat he can rip Timmy to shreds, but not to hurt Tabitha. Matilda says he really cares about her, but she doesn't know why. She also tells Timmy that he's kinda cute, so she will help. She needs some of Tabitha's hair and some pouch that she used in her first spell. Timmy asks Tabitha where the pouch is and she tells him it's in a desk that she sold to the Cranes. Timmy asks Matilda if he can get it, if she will help. She is reluctant, but agrees. Theresa walks into the Lobster Shack alone and Gwen comments to Ethan that she showed up alone just as she suspected. Theresa says her boyfriend is meeting her there and Gwen asks if he never goes anywhere with her. She pretty much has Theresa backed into a corner when Theresa gets the idea from her dream to spill stuff on Gwen. She trips the waiter and he dumps his tray of drinks all over Gwen. Theresa looks like she's about to bust out laughing but contains herself. The waiter apologizes and she tells him it was just an accident...she was just shocked by how cold the drinks were. Theresa looks disappointed that she wasn't more upset and that Ethan couldn't see her true colors. She tells them she'll get some more napkins and goes to talk to Whitney. Whitney scolds her for tripping the waiter and Theresa said she thought it would work to show Ethan that Gwen is just a bitch. Theresa says this is all her fault and now she's going to lose her job and her mother is as well. She says she should've listened to Whitney, but she didn't. Whitney tells her she has one last chance to tell Ethan the truth and she could probably save Pilar's job. Theresa walks over to the table and tells Ethan she has something to tell him. Gwen starts in about her boyfriend and Theresa lies and says she just called him and he's on his way. He has car trouble, but will be there shortly. Gwen doesn't buy this but Ethan tells her that people have car trouble. Whitney looks outside and says "I don't believe it" and walks out there. (My guess is it's going to be Theresa's "boyfriend") Gwen tells Ethan it's time to choose...does he believe her or Theresa. Ethan says he believes Gwen and that Theresa doesn't have a boyfriend. Luis is looking in Sheridan's cottage through the windows and hopes that nothing has happened to her. He sees someone walking through there and kicks in the door. He tackles Sheridan and she tells him that it's her. They are laying on the couch and looking at each other awkwardly. He apologizes and says he thought she was the intruder. She confesses that there wasn't an intruder. Luis gets upset and asks if she did this to get back at him for last night. He says he apologized already. Sheridan assures him that she didn't call him over to make a fool of him and she 's not mad at him. Luis asks her why she called him over then. She is still sitting on the couch and says she knew he wouldn't come over otherwise. She pats the couch and he just looks at her. He asks what is going on and she apologizes for how this looks. She called him over so he would allow her to help him find the answers he's looking for. Luis says no and they've been through this already. Sheridan reminds him how he's putting his life on hold to investigate his father. She remembers how he told her he doesn't have time for romance and she wants to help him get on with his life. Luis asks her what's really going on and she thinks about how she'd like to have a relationship with him. She tells him that she owes him her life and he tells her she doesn't owe him anything. She also tells him that she wants to prove to him that her family had nothing to do with his father leaving. Luis then asks her what she would do if she found out otherwise. She said she'd deal with it. Luis says she talks a good game but knows there is something more to it. She thinks about how she could have killed Martin but tells Luis he's too cynical. He finally gives in and says he'll let her help. She says great and Julian and Ivy are going out tonight, so once they leave, they can go into the mansion and look around. She then thinks to herself if she did have something to do with it, her life is over.

Episode #144

Charity and Miguel meet in the park. Charity has made some muffins for Tabitha. She really feels bad about leaving Tabitha's so quickly the other night. Miguel remarks that Charity looks tired. She tells him that she hasn't been able to sleep because she has been having premonitions. At Tabitha's, Timmy is staring at the puddle on the floor , that is Tabitha. He is trying to figure how he can help her. He has flashbacks of when Tabitha melted. He then remembers who can help Tabitha. There is a knock at the door, then he hears Charity call out for Tabitha. Miguel says that maybe she was out in the kitchen. When he tries the door, it opens immediately, so they enter the house. Timmy turns himself back into a doll. Miguel steps into the puddle and Timmy says, " owwww!" They wonder who said that and continue to call out for Tabitha. They thought the voice sounded like her, and thought that it may have come from under the floors. They decide to check out the basement to see if she may have fallen. Tabitha tells Timmy to stop talking to himself, and do something. He is very surprised that she can still speak. She says that she barely can. Timmy calls out for a witch doctor to help a sick witch. A Doctor suddenly appears along with his nurse. The Dr. wants to know why he was disturbed at such an inopportune time. Timmy points to the puddle on the floor and says that it is Tabitha. He said that Tabitha had melted and that the kids next door had gone into the basement. The dr. refuses to have anything to do with Tabitha's basement. Upon the mention of Charity's name. The Dr. replies ' Charity Standish?" He said that Charity must never be allowed to see what was in the basement. He plants a diversion. As they are about to enter the basement, the phone rings. Neither Miguel or Charity remember seeing the phone earlier. Charity answers the phone and it is the Dr. pretending to be Tabitha. She tells them that she is at the Dr's and would be back home soon. Charity comes into the living room alone. She thinks that she recognizes the Dr. from TV. She calls out to Miguel. The Dr. tells Charity that she doesn't remember him because of the amnesia. He tells her about the trials and tribulations of true love. He tells her that she won't remember anything about him when he is gone. He then disappears. Miguel comes in with a mop and bucket to clean up the puddle. She doesn't remember why she called out for Miguel. He starts to clean up the puddle, but then notices that Charity doesn't look well so he decides to take her home. After they leave, the Dr. comes back to help Tabitha because his nurse asked him to,because she seems to like Timmy. He turns Tabitha into a fish and says that it is the best that he could do. He tells Timmy that the only thing that can help Tabitha is to receive love from her enemy. Sheridan shows up at the locker room and calls out for Luis. Luis comes out of the shower with nothing on. She asks him why he wanted to see her. He tells her that he had been thinking about what he wanted to do since the first time that he met her. He has been waiting for months he then kisses her passionately. Sheridan says that she can't believe that this is happening. Luis says that they have waited too long. He says that it is time that they stopped denying things because it is inevitable. He takes off her shirt and they continue to kiss. Sheridan hears a knock at the door and says that someone is there. Luis says to just ignore them. The knocking gets louder, but that doesn't stop Sheridan and Luis. Someone calls out Sheridan's name, and she wonders who it is. Luis said that he didn't care, all he wanted was Sheridan as they continue to kiss even more passionately. Sheridan realizes that it is Gwen and wonders what she is doing at the youth center. Luis says to just ignore Gwen, and then maybe she would just go away. Sheridan wakes up suddenly, and Gwen is sitting on the couch next to her. She said that she must have fallen asleep while reading. Gwen wanted to know if Sheridan wanted to go for coffee at the Book Cafe. Sheridan agrees to go and then wonders why she is continuing to have dreams about Luis. At his home. Luis is telling Hank that he feels bad abut trying to use Sheridan against her own family. Hank wonders if Luis is interested in Sheridan, but he replies that he is not. Hank is happy to hear that the field is clear for him. At the Lobster Shack, Theresa is sitting alone at a table when Gwen and Ethan arrive. Gwen looks perturbed. She immediately goes up to Theresa and asks her where her boyfriend is. She tells Theresa to just trot him out there so that the whole thing could be cleared up. Ethan tells Gwen that he doesn't like what she is doing. Gwen explains to Ethan that he is really Theresa's boyfriend. Theresa meekly asks" Why are you badgering me?" Gwen tells her that she would do more than badger her. She tells her that she is nothing more than a conniving opportunist who is trying to take her man and weave herself into a social standing that she doesn't deserve and certainly couldn't handle. Ethan tries to stop Gwen, but she keeps on talking. She says that no one at the Country Club would accept the Housekeeper's daughter as Mrs. Ethan Crane. She tells Theresa to just admit that she is a liar so that She and Ethan can move on with their lives. Theresa starts to leave, when Gwen grabs her by the arm. A waiter accidentally spills a tray of food on Gwen and she calls him a clumsy idiot and told him that she would have his job. Ethan tells Gwen to calm down. She tells Theresa that not only is she a liar, but a coward as well. Ethan tells Gwen that he is ashamed to be seen with someone as mean and nasty as she is. He says that he can't believe that he even felt anything for her , so he now knows that his real feelings lie with Theresa. He takes Theresa by the waist. He tells Theresa that he could never love someone as vicious as Gwen. Gwen storms off as Ethan and Theresa gaze into each other's eyes. He tells Theresa that he would love her now, and until the end of time. They express their love for one another. As they start to kiss, a waiter throws water on them. Theresa wakes up from her dream, and it is Whitney who threw water on her. She tells Theresa that she was talking in her sleep and she could hear her all the way in the living room. Whitney tells her that if she thinks that things will end up with Gwen slinking out with her tail between her legs, then she is crazy. Theresa says that it will happen, because she will make it happen that way. She tells Whitney that she needs her help. Whitney says to count her out of all of her schemes. Theresa says that she just wants Whitney to help her pick out a killer dress and when Ethan sees her in it, he will realize that they were meant to be together. At the Crane mansion, Julian tells Ethan that he needs to learn to handle his women better. Ethan tells his Dad that he realizes that they are nothing alike. He tells his Dad about Gwen's insecurities. He said that Gwen believes that Theresa is interested in him, but he doesn't believe this. Julian tells him to just agree with gwen, but Ethan says that he can't lie to his true love. Julian says that there is no such thing as a true love. Ethan says that he wants to be a man with ideals. Julian tells him that when he wanted advice on how to deal with the real world to just come to him for advice and he would be glad to talk to him. At the Book Cafe, Sheridan tells Gwen that she has been dreaming about Luis and she doesn't know why. Gwen tells her that she wants to be with Luis. She tells her that she was supposed to ask him out for New Year's but ended up asking Hank out , instead. Sheridan wonders if She and Luis could actually make a go of it. Gwen angrily replies that Luis is a Gate-crasher just using her to get into a world that he couldn't possibly get into on his own. She says that he is just like his conniving sister. Gwen apologizes to Sheridan. She said that she just feels like she is losing Ethan to Theresa and he doesn't see it. She wonders if maybe Ethan does have feelings for Theresa and that is why he can't see how manipulative she is. Gwen tells Sheridan that she has to go get ready for her date. After Gwen leaves, Sheridan wonders if there is any chance for a future with Luis. Theresa and Whitney are shopping for dresses for Theresa's big night. The dresses are very expensive and Whitney wonders how she can afford one. Theresa shows Whitney an envelope of money that she has saved from working. Theresa finds the perfect dress and said that it is the dress that she was wearing in her dream. Theresa asks her about her boyfriend. Theresa says that she believes that fate will step in for her. Whitney insists on tagging along with Theresa to make sure that she would be okay. Ethan and Gwen are already at the restaurant, when Theresa shows up alone. Gwen remarks that Theresa has shown up solo, without a boyfriend. She believes that Theresa has been lying this whole time. Whitney is outside looking worried. Sheridan places a frantic phone call to Luis. She tells him that she believes that someone is in the cottage and is stalking her.She asks him to hurry and hangs up. Luis rushes out the door.

Episode #143

Ethan calls Gwen and she asks if he's come to his senses and is calling to tell her he believes that Theresa doesn't have a boyfriend. Ethan tells her that he believes Theresa and he is calling to invite her to dinner. She told him she's serious about this whole situation and Ethan tells her he is as well. Gwen asks him if he wants Theresa to have a boyfriend and he asks why he wouldn't want her to. Gwen tells him if she did have a boyfriend, she would be off limits, and maybe he wants to be with Theresa. He tells her that's crazy and Gwen tells him she doesn't think it is and until they get to the truth, she doesn't want to see him and hangs up the phone. Ivy catches the tail end of this conversation and asks Ethan if his problems have to do with Theresa. He tells her that Gwen in misconstruing the whole situation and Theresa is not the one to blame. Ivy tells him that Julian planted the seeds of doubt in Gwen's head when she overheard him telling Ethan to sow his wild oats with Theresa. Ivy tells him that if she does find out that Theresa was lying, she will make sure she doesn't come near Ethan again. Theresa and Whitney are in Theresa's room and she is spouting off about her best friend, fate! Whitney tells her that she was the one who saved her butt this time and fate had nothing to do with it. Theresa says something about fate again and Whitney tells her to quit using that word! Theresa says that she and Ethan are meant to be and she just needs to make him see that. Whitney reminds her that he's in love with Gwen and wants to marry her, but Theresa says it's only because he hasn't seen the nasty side of Gwen yet. Once he does, he won't want to be with her any longer. Whitney tells her she's being foolish and is getting tired of hearing all of this. Ethan calls her and asks if he can come over to talk to her and she asks what this is about. He tells her it's about Gwen and she says that he can come over. She gets all fancied up in a dress that most people, other than Ivy Crane, wouldn't just lounge around the house in. When he shows up, he tells her he needs her help getting Gwen to understand everything. She tells him okay and she just needs her phone number. She calls Gwen and asks her and Ethan to meet her at the Lobster Shack tomorrow and they can finally meet her boyfriend. Gwen seems suspicious, but agrees. When she hangs up, Ethan tells her she's a great friend and hugs her. He leaves and Whitney tells her she's playing with fire, but Theresa thinks that her best pal Fate will save her again! Miguel asks Charity if she's okay and she tells him that her premonition of death is even stronger and she thinks that he's going to die. Miguel tells her nothing will happen to him. Timmy is in the kitchen with Tabitha and begs her to not go through with her plan. She tells him sorry, but she has to. She carries in the tray of tea and petit fours and Timmy under her arm into the living room. She apologizes for taking so long, she was having an argument with her doll. They just look at her and she says she was joking and asks if she can pour them a cup of tea. Miguel apologizes to Tabitha and says they can't stay as Charity isn't feeling well. She asks her what is wrong and Charity tells her she's having strange feelings about someone dying. Tabitha fakes a spell and Charity and Miguel ask if there is anything they can do...she tells them to get her pills from the kitchen. She lays her head down on the table and Timmy yells that she's dead. She sits up and tells him to be quiet and she's just pretending. Charity and Miguel return w/her pills and she takes one and thanks them for saving her life. Charity thinks this is what her premonition was about...Tabitha. They sit down and she pours them some tea. Tabitha takes a petit four and tells Charity to have one and then pass on the plate to Miguel. She takes one but Miguel declines as he's not hungry. Tabitha takes a big bite of hers and tells Miguel that he's had a hard day and this will make him feel better. He says okay and takes the one from the middle and eats it. Tabitha smiles and then Miguel says he isn't feeling very well and needs some air. He and Charity go outside and Tabitha tells Timmy it's just a matter of time before he keels over. She goes into the living room and finishes off the petit fours. Timmy comes in and tells her he has a confession to make...he couldn't bare to see Miguel die, so he switched the petit fours and the poisoned one is still on the plate. Tabitha looks at the empty plate and then tells Timmy she just ate it. Timmy asks her if she's fake dying again and she says she isn't. He asks what happens to witches when they die and she says they melt. She said "I'm melting Timmy, I'm melting." Timmy says that it's gross and he killed his princess! Luis tells Sheridan he knows she's angry. She tells him she's more than angry. He says it was pretty obvious how angry she was when she threw the wine in his face. She tells him he used her to bring down her own family and if she didn't make herself clear at the restaurant, her answer is no. She tries to shut the door on him but he stops her and tells her he's there to apologize. Sheridan says that'll be the day. Luis says he knows he hurt her and she feels like he used her, but he would never do that and he's very sorry. He would never be like that guy Jean Luc. She tells him that he couldn't be that rotten, no man could and walks towards the couch. He walks in after her and picks up her coat and purse off the floor. Luis says she must have dropped these but she says she threw them. He says she really was mad at him. She tells him not to push it because she hasn't calmed down completely. She gets them both a glass of wine and they sit on the couch. He tells her this case is driving him nuts and he just figured that she would want to help him since they talked about how important the truth was. He keeps telling her how sorry he is and that he would never use her like that. She tells him she believes him. Sheridan apologizes for throwing the wine in his face and she hopes it wasn't too embarrassing. He tells her the waiter figured he must have propositioned her. Luis says he could live with that, but not knowing that he hurt her like that. He tells her that he has to know why the impostor was posing as his father and how Julian knows him. Sheridan says maybe Julian was a victim in this as well and this might be one mystery he won't solve. He tells her that the truth will come out and he will find it because his life and his family's are on the line. Sheridan tells him since he's been so honest, it's her turn. She tells him that she doesn't have the greatest relationship with her brother or her father. They are both very demanding and secretive men. He asks what they are secretive about and she says anything and everything...things have a tendency to be hushed up in her family. He asks her to do him a favor and just forget this whole night ever happened. She tells him she can't do that after listening to him speak so openly about his family. Sheridan says she can't imagine her own family trying to destroy another one...especially his as his mother means so much to them. She says she wants to help him prove that her family didn't have anything to do with his father's disappearance and she will find a way because she owes him for saving her life. He tells her she doesn't have to and she tells him if it's answers he's looking for, she will get him into the mansion to look around. Luis tells her he won't get her involved and thanks but no thanks. Sheridan asks him why and he says he doesn't want her to feel like he's using her because he would never treat her or any other woman that way. He thanks her for hearing him out and starts to leave. He tells her not to put herself down because she's been involved with losers. Luis says he learned how special she was in Santa Fe and when they were up on the roof New Year's Eve. He tells her she deserves the best and a guy that will treat her that way. He says a guy like Hank. She seemed disappointed and so did he when he said that. He says that Hank jokes about marrying a rich woman but deep down he's salt to the earth. They say their goodnights and he leaves. Sheridan sees his scarf and goes to the door and Luis is standing there. He thanks her and she tells him she has one more thing to say about her family. She tells him if they feel threatened, they take no prisoners and to please be careful. He tells her he will.

Eve goes to the hospital and Orville asks why she smells like smoke. She starts crying and says she didn't have any other choice and she had to set his place on fire. At first he's upset but realizes it's for the best and no one will find out the secrets to her past or Chad's. She asks what secrets are related to Chad and Orville says it's a secret as big as hers. Chad comes in and Eve says he should let Orville get some rest. He tells him that his apartment is destroyed because of a fire. Orville feigns his shock and goes into a little song about "stuff." Eve tells Orville she's sorry about his apartment. Chad says it was so intense that he can still smell smoke. He's giving Eve the eye and she tells him it must be his own clothes he is smelling. Throughout the show, Orville's flighty neighbor keeps saying "why would Orville have such a piece of junk? And I can sell this for money" about the bird. Tabitha is rummaging through a trunk looking for something that will allow Charity to kill Miguel. Timmy tells her it's a lost cause because he hasn't seen two people more in love since Romeo and Juliet. Tabitha tells him she's surprised he knows about them. She goes on about how great Shakespeare was and she wishes she could have met him...alas the three witches from Macbeth always go on and on about him. Timmy asks her if she's just name dropping or if she really knew those people. Tabitha tells him he has given her the perfect plan and she will have Charity poison Miguel. Timmy begs her not to do it and says he will let Fluffy use him as a scratching post if she promises not to kill Miguel. She tells him she's sorry but she has to do it. Over at the Bennett's, Charity and Miguel are talking about death and how she lost her mom and he thought he lost his father. She says if she ever lost him, she doesn't know what she would do and she thinks that she would die too. Miguel promises that nothing bad is going to happen. Charity says she has a bad feeling that someone is going to die tonight. Tabitha makes the poison in the kitchen and calls Charity and invites her and Miguel over for tea and petit-fours. They agree and say they'll be right over. Tabitha poisons one of the petit-fours and places it on a red doily so she'll know which one Charity has to give Miguel. The doorbell rings and Tabby tells Timmy to make the tea. She invites them in and says she'll be right back. Miguel asks her if she is still feeling weird, and she says the feeling about someone dying tonight is stronger than ever. Sheridan is in her cottage and clothes are scattered everywhere. She's really nervous about her date with Luis and says she just wants to look perfect. Sheridan asks herself why she's getting all worked up...it's just a man. Then she says Luis is unlike any man she's ever met. The phone rings and she puts it on speaker. It's Alistair and she says she's pleasantly surprised by his call and that it has been too long since they've spoken. He tells her to stay away from Luis and she comments on how Julian has been keeping him informed. Alistair assures her that they had nothing to do with the real Martin Fitzgerald disappearing and to be careful of Luis because he will use her like all the rest. Sheridan tries to argue and he tells her he knows all about the losers she's prone to dating and she's destined to have people use her. She's about to tell him how Luis isn't like any other man, but he says he has to go and hangs up. Luis is in the kitchen writing a note when Pilar comes in. She asks him if he's going out and he says that he is taking a lady to dinner. Pilar tells him to say hi to Beth for her and he tells her he's taking Sheridan out, not Beth. Pilar looks happy and tells him again how fond of Sheridan she is and tells him to have a good time. Luis says she's getting the wrong idea...it's not a romantic date, he's going to ask for her help investigating Julian and Alistair. She asks if Sheridan is aware of that and Luis says why else would she want to go out with me? He leaves and Pilar gets the "I know more than you think about your feelings for Sheridan" look. Sheridan and Luis are at the Lobster Shack. They are talking about how much they've changed towards one another since they met. Luis teases her about how they collided. Sheridan apologizes for that and tells him how she had just gotten out of a bad relationship with Jean Luc and she was looking to take out her rage on anything. She admits that it was wrong and Luis agrees with her. She teases him and says that most men would disagree with the woman and say it wasn't her fault. He tells her he's not like most men and he's sorry if that upsets her. She says it's just the opposite of that. Luis says he was wrong about her, she's a nice person and she's tough. Sheridan asks him if he wants to know the truth and he says yes because it always comes out eventually anyway. She tells him she just pretends to be tough and she's learned it. She said maybe it was growing up Crane, but when men like Jean Luc use her or anyone uses her for that matter, she falls apart and cries. They talk some more and Luis asks her if she is ready to hear why he asked her out. Sheridan looks really excited and says she's been waiting to hear him say it. Luis then lowers the boom that he wants her help investigating her brother and father and find out if they have any connection to his father's disappearance. Sheridan takes a big swig of her wine and asks if that's why he invited her. He asks her what else she thought and she is LIVID. Sheridan tells him he's just like Jean Luc and all of those other men who just want to use her. He tries to tell her he's not and she says he just wants to use her to get to her family. She remembers Alistair's warning to stay away from Luis and she says she will. Luis asks her if she's saying she will help him. She stands up, tells him to go to hell and throws her wine in his face and storms out of the restaurant! Luis just sits there shocked and wipes his face. Sheridan storms into her cottage and scolds herself for believing that Luis was different and he wasn't going to use her. She picks up all of the clothes and says she wasted all this time trying to look good and Luis didn't even care he just wanted her help in bringing down her own family. She sits on the couch and says "I hate you Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald...no I LOATHE you and I never want to see you again." There is a knock on the door and she yells whoever it is, Ethan, Ivy or Julian to go away and leave her alone. They knock again and she gets up and says "what part of go away and leave me alone don't you understand?" She opens the door and finds Luis standing there.

Episode #141

Eve is in Orville's apartment and she can't find the bird statue that contains all her secrets. Orville's neighbor is seen with it and wonders why he would keep something like this for so many years. She thinks it must contain secrets. Eve talks to Orville and asks if he's sure the statue is in the apartment. He says he's positive but she can't find it. Chad comes in the room so Orville hangs up the phone with Eve. Chad wants to know what he's hiding and Orville tells him he's not hiding anything. Chad gets upset and yells at him. He says he may not deserve much in life but everyone deserves to know who they are. Orville starts to say something but goes loopy. The nurse comes in and tells Chad to leave Orville alone so he can rest. Simone ran into Chad when he returned from Orville's and he told her what he was trying to do. She was there to see Eve, but couldn't find her anywhere. She calls her mom and tells her she was looking for her. Simone also tells her that she ran into Chad but she didn't do it on purpose. Eve tells her she's not mad at her. She tells Eve that Chad was in Orville's apartment and he thinks he may have found some answers to his past. Eve flips out and tells Simone she'll talk to her later. Eve is paranoid about her secrets coming out and since she can't find the statue, there is only one thing left to do...she sets his apartment on fire. Julian is on the phone with Daddy Alistair and getting yelled at for messing up. Julian tells him he did his best and he should be thanking him for it was his idea to put the matching scar on the impostor's body. Alistair tells him they have to keep their secrets covered up because it would destroy the family if the truth came out. He also tells Julian to keep an eye on Sheridan because she is the weak link in the family and not to let her get to close to Luis. Julian says he will do whatever it takes. Luis asks Sheridan what she wanted to talk to him about and she tells him she's happy for him that it wasn't his father. He tells her she already said that but Sheridan says she knows how hard he was taking the whole thing and now he can stop blaming himself. She says she owes him her life and that's a debt she intends to repay. He tells her she doesn't have to and she insists that she does. Luis asks her if she knows anything about the time his father disappeared and Sheridan of course flashes to "that night." Luis says by her facial expressions she knows something. Sheridan says she was very young and she was prone to nightmares as a child....then she went to boarding school in Europe. Luis says okay and she says she'll talk to him later. Pilar comes over to him after Sheridan left and thanked Luis for believing her. He says he's glad he did listen to her. He also tells her he's going to investigate the Cranes and find out the truth. Pilar begs him not to do it because Julian and Alistair are ruthless men and she doesn't want him to get hurt. Luis is reluctant, but finally agrees. She then says she saw him talking to Sheridan. He says she's been great through this whole thing. Pilar tells him that she and Ethan are the kindest people in that family. Luis says he doesn't know about Ethan, but Sheridan is a very nice person and he was wrong about her. Pilar says she's glad and leaves. Sheridan runs into Julian and asks why he's still there. He says he was just about to leave and he was waiting for his ride. He asks her why she's there and she says she needs time alone. Julian says he saw her with Luis and wants to know what that was all about. She says she was thanking him for saving her life and telling him she's glad that it wasn't his father that died. She also asks Julian to give her answers about the real Martin, but he doesn't say anything. He taunts her and says he hope she's not having nightmares again. Sheridan tells him she was concerned since that wasn't the real Martin, but Ethan keeps trying to convince her that it was just a dream. Julian agrees and says she never killed anyone. He tells her once her ludicrous community service is over, she is not to have anything to do with the local yokel officer, Luis. She tells him she can see whomever she wants whenever she wants and he can't tell her what to do because she's not a child. Julian asks her if she was considering him for a dating partner and tells her she already has a track record with losers. Sheridan says it's none of his business, but it's not like Luis would ever date her because of her family. She says she can't blame him and tells Julian he's a pompous ass! They argue some more and he tells her he means it and to stay away from Luis. He leaves and Sheridan is about to go back into the church and runs into Luis. She apologizes and says she wasn't looking where she was going. He teases her and says at least she wasn't driving. He then says he doesn't know what she's doing tonight but asks her if she'd like to have dinner with him. She says yes and he says it's a date. Ethan asks Gwen what is going on and she tells him she's trying to get Theresa to admit that she has been lying to them. Ethan and Gwen argue about it and Theresa just stands there. Gwen tells Ethan he's a lawyer and asks why he can't see all the evidence. Whitney is watching on and wonders if there is anything she can do to help her out. Gwen tells her it's time to fess up and Theresa is about to speak when Father Lonigan tells her he's been looking for her. He says her boyfriend called twice to let her know he couldn't make it because of car trouble. Gwen looks like she's going to spit nails and Ethan tells her she owes Theresa an apology. They leave and Whitney shows up and tells Theresa what she did. They are jumping up and down when Father Lonigan comes up to them and gives them a lecture about lying. He says he expects to hear from them in confession tomorrow. Gwen and Ethan get into an argument and she tells him she still doesn't buy Theresa's "boyfriend." Ethan tells her he doesn't know why. Gwen then accuses him of being in love with her and until they get things straightened out she needs time away from him.

Episode #140

Tabitha is chasing Timmy around the house trying to get back the missing page from the tome. He tells her he won't give it back because he doesn't want to see Charity get hurt. Tabitha chases him around until he only has two ways to go: through Fluffy or through Tabby. Tabitha tells him she'll forget about the whole thing if he just gives her the page. He gets away from her and scurries up the chimney. She begs him to come out of there and he tells her he won't. Tabitha says she'll take Fluffy up on the roof and drop her on Timmy's head. Timmy gets freaked out and Tabitha says she wouldn't do that to Fluffy because it would scare her too much. She starts crumpling up newspaper and lights a match. Timmy asks what she is doing and she says there's a nip in the air and she's going to build a roaring fire. Timmy tells her he's not stupid...if she sets Timmy on fire, the page goes up in smoke with him...Check mate, Princess. Tabitha agrees and says she'll go with her original plan and drop Fluffy on him. Timmy finally gives in and gives her the page. He comes out covered in soot and Fluffy chases him around while Tabitha tries to decode the words on the page. When she does figure it out, she tells Timmy the only way to lure Charity over to the dark side is if Miguel dies at her hand. She says she has the perfect plan that will allow Charity to kill her beloved...today. Chad is looking around Orville's apartment for some answers to his past, but he's not having too much luck. He's holding the bird in his hands, but doesn't find the red envelope. Orville is in his room at the hospital and he thinks that Eve needs to find that envelope before anyone else does or it could be disastrous. Orville pages Eve and tells her to get over to his apartment. While Chad is looking around, he hears someone trying to come in. He goes out the window and hides. It was a neighbor of Orville's and a cop that she called. She tells the officer that Orville owes her money and doesn't want anything to happen that would keep her from getting the money back. Eve shows up and the lady hides the bird in her coat. Eve tells the officer who she is and that she is there to pick up something for Orville. She looks around for the bird, but can't find it. Luis announces to everyone that the man is not Martin Fitzgerald. The Lopez-Fitzgerald clan is ecstatic and the Crane clan looks like their world is about to unravel. Julian goes to the back of the church and Sheridan tells Ethan that if it wasn't Martin in that coffin, she may have killed the real Martin all those years ago. He tells her to get that out of her head and that until they get concrete evidence, she didn't kill anyone. Sam and Luis have their own suspicions and go to question Julian about the body. Ivy is talking to Julian saying he made a mess of things now and Alistair won't be happy about it. Sam asks Ivy to excuse them while they ask Julian some questions. Julian has a solid defense, so they don't have any ground to detain him any longer and Sam excuses him. Luis gets mad at Sam, but Sam tells him they will get him, but they have to have solid evidence first. They are thinking of ways to get inside the Crane mansion to look for answers or an insider to give them some information. Sam tells Luis that none of the Cranes will talk when Sheridan comes over and asks to speak to Luis privately. Kay is livid seeing Charity and Miguel together. Simone tells her to give up and Kay tells her that the magazine article said that she will be with Miguel all year since she was in his arms at midnight. Ivy overhears this and asks Kay what she was talking about. Kay explains and Ivy thinks about being with Sam. She tells Kay that she does believe the magazine and Simone freaks out saying the whole thing is stupid. Sam comes over and ask if everything is OK and Ivy tells him he has a lovely daughter. Sam talks to Ivy alone and tells her to stay away from his family and that he's married to Grace. Ivy says she knows that, but he was hers once. He walks away and Ivy vows to get him back. Miguel and Charity are talking with Pilar and she tells her how amazing it was that she knew it wasn't her husband. She says that kind of love is a miracle and the people that do find it are blessed. Miguel looks dreamy-eyed at her and Kay looks on about to spit nails. Theresa is talking with Whitney about, what else, FATE, and how it saved her yet again. Whitney tells her that Gwen is not going to back off and she needs to be careful. Gwen comes over to them and says she's waited long enough and she needs to speak with Theresa. Whitney leaves them alone. Theresa starts hightailing it to the back of the church and Gwen is following right behind her. Theresa plays stupid about what Gwen wants to talk about. Gwen is being really mean and says that she knows exactly what she wants to talk about and it's her fictional boyfriend. Gwen says that she's tired of playing her games and that Theresa messed with the wrong person. She wants Theresa to admit that there is no boyfriend and that she's in love with Ethan. Theresa starts to say something but Gwen continues on with her rampage. She tells Theresa that she tried to play in the major leagues but she couldn't hack it and she will always be in the minors. Ethan comes up to her and asks what is going on between them.

Episode #139

Whitney is listening to music in the kitchen when Simone walks in. Simone asks if that is the song that Chad always plays. Whitney remarked that she wouldn't know.

Simone says that she will just have to accidentally run into Chad from now on.Eve walks into the kitchen as Simone is saying this. Eve tells her that she had better not, she told them to stay away from Chad and she meant it. Simone wants to know why Eve gets upset when she hears Chad's name. Eve tells her that she is just trying to protect her from a boy who could bring her a great deal of harm.Simone says that she only wants to be his friend, but Eve thinks that she wants a little bit more than that. Simone tries to get TC to talk to Eve about Chad, but TC agrees with Eve. He then tells the girls to get their things so that they could go to the funeral. Whitney tells Simone that Eve was right.

At the Cranes, Ethan and Ivy are discussing the funeral. Ethan said that the Lopez-Fitzgeralds were a close family. Ethan said that he was really looking forward to meeting Theresa's boyfriend. He then leaves to go get Sheridan at the cottage. Julian decides that he is going to the funeral. Ivy can't understand why he is going. He said that he wanted to watch that body leave the church and then be burned. He would even supply the matches. Ivy wonders if it is even the real Martin since Julian seems to be in a great hurry to get rid of the body. Gwen shows up to meet Ethan for the funeral. Julian is wondering why she is going since she didn't know Martin, and she is not particularly close to the other members of the family. Gwen said that her future depended on what happened at the funeral. Julian says that he hoped that Gwen wasn't too upset about Theresa being in Ethan's arms at midnight. Theresa said that she was at first, but is not anymore. She said that she wanted to meet Theresa's boyfriend, then they could go on with their lives. Grace is at home in her kitchen talking to Sam. They talk about what they can do to help Pilar. Sam said that Pilar doesn't even think that it is Martin, but Luis was having a DNA test performed. Grace said that she didn't know if she could ever except losing him. They hug and she then flashes back to when Sam hugged Ivy at the shop. Sam tells Grace that she will never lose him. Charity comes in and asks if she could use the ironing board. Grace tells her that she doesn't have to ask. Grace tells Charity that it is a beautiful dress to wear on such a sad occasion. Charity said that she and Kay would be there for Miguel. Charity then talks to Grace about Miguel. She tells her that they shared their first kiss. Grace tells her that a first love is special, but told her not to rush things. Tabitha is telling Timmy that she had been up all night trying to think of a way to keep Miguel and Charity apart. Kay shows up at Tabitha's. She tells Tabitha that she has lost the boy she loves, forever. She said that the other girl is using his father's death to get closer to him. She wants Tabitha's help. Tabitha tells Kay that she knows that she wouldn't go to the extremes that she did. She brings out some crushed herbs and tells Kay how she sprinkled them in her rival's dress. She said that the girl broke out into a horrid rash and was unable to go outside for a week, and that it gave her a chance to get closer to the guy once again.. She said that she knew that Kay would never go to such extremes. When Tabitha turns away, Kay puts the bottle of herbs in her pocket. Timmy said Kay stole the herbs, and needed to be stopped. Tabitha said that she meant for Kay to take the herbs. She said that when Kay sprinkles the herbs in Charity's dress, Charity will be out of commission for a least a week. She said that it would give her the time that she needed to lure Charity to the dark side. Miguel and Theresa are discussing their father's death. Miguel tells her that Luis told him that Pilar was having second thoughts and didn't think that the man was Martin. Pilar comes into the kitchen and says that she is not sure, but that Luis was having DNA tests done. She was hoping that they would find out test results before the funeral. Meanwhile, Luis shows up at the Russells and asks Eve to put a rush on the tests. Luis then returns home and tells his mother that she may just have to accept the fact that Martin is dead. He tells them that he will meet them at the Church. Theresa and Miguel discuss Ethan. Miguel tells her that she can't make someone love her. He tells her that she needs to tell Ethan the truth at the funeral. She says that she can't because then he would know that Gwen was right all along. She doesn't want Ethan to hate her. Miguel tells her that Ethan will suspect something when no boyfriend shows up with her. Sheridan is at the cottage having dreams about Luis. They are making love and Luis tells her how much he loves her. She is calling out Luis's name in her sleep. Ethan wakes her up and tells her that she lied to him. He says that she has fallen for Luis. She says that she hasn't. She says that they have spent a lot of time together. She says that she doesn't even remember the dream. She says that it doesn't matter what she wants, because Luis doesn't believe that a rich woman and a poor man can make it. They head to the Crane mansion. Ethan tells Gwen that he doesn't want her to pick a fight with Theresa. Julian makes a toast to new beginnings. Sheridan doesn't understand how he can do this before a funeral. Kay returns home.

Orville then remembers that he hid the information in the bird. Chad heads over to Orville's and finds the key. He is searching, but doesn't find anything. He then picks up the bird and wonders if anything could be hidden in the bird. At the Church, most of the residents of Harmony show up to pay their last respects to Martin.

Episode #138

Kay and Simone are in the park (that's my guess) spying on Charity and Miguel. Kay is talking about how she and Miguel belong together...not him and Charity. Simone says if she had a nickel for every time she heard that... They talk about New Year's Eve and Kay says she was in Miguel's arms so they will be together. Simone says she hopes that prediction isn't true because Whitney and Chad were together. Kay asks if Whitney is interested in Chad and Simone says no. She says they are like Ike and Tina...they just DON'T get along! Kay says that they can be the one exception to the rule, but she will get Miguel. Simone tells her to give up, but Kay says she won't because Miguel and Charity aren't an official couple yet. Simone looks over at them and says they seem pretty official to her. Kay tells her that they haven't kissed yet and until they do, she still has time. Kay does pull out her broach and tells Simone to look at it because that is her proof. Simone says that thing is evil and to keep it away from her. Kay looks at the broach but can't see Miguel's face. She says that something is wrong with it and she needs to take care of something. Eve comes over and starts in on Whitney and Chad being together. Chad says he has a few things to say. He apologizes for speaking out of turn but says he needs to get a few things straight. Chad says that he doesn't understand why she insists on keeping Whitney and Simone away from him. He says that he is suspicious of a lot of people, but he usually has good reason, and asks Dr. Russell what hers is. Eve says that she doesn't trust him because she doesn't know anything about his background or upbringing. Chad says he doesn't either and he's trying to figure it out. Chad also tells her she took that away from him by sealing off Orville's apartment. Eve says she was just trying to protect her patient...it's hospital policy. Whitney asks if she does that with every patient. Eve says no, but his is a special case. Eve gives Chad this little spiel about how she wishes him the best of luck for the future, but his future cannot include Whitney and Simone. Chad goes back to work and the Russell's leave the Book Cafe. Whitney tells Eve that she didn't purposely seek out Chad, she just ran into him. Eve says she understands, but she wants to know how she feels towards Chad when she does run into him. Whitney tells her parents that she couldn't care less about him and she wishes he wouldn't have come to Harmony. Eve hugs her and tells her she's proud of her and she and T.C. leave. Simone comes in through the back door of the Book Cafe and tells Chad she did that because she saw her family there and didn't need to be interrogated. Chad says that Eve did plenty of interrogating since she saw him and Whitney together. Simone asks him why she was there and if he likes her. Chad has some flashbacks of Whitney and the camera switches to Whitney thinking about Chad. Sam and Luis are talking at the police station and Luis is telling him how his mother doesn't believe that the man is really Martin. Sam asks about all the evidence and Luis says it makes sense to everyone but her. He tells Sam he has to prove without a shadow of doubt that the man really is his father for his mother's sake. Sam says they will. He asks about fingerprints, but Luis says he was never arrested, so they aren't on file. He asks about the military and Luis says that his father never enlisted. The only option left is DNA testing and it is expensive. Luis says that if it is the only way, then he will do it. Sam tells him to talk to Eve Russell. Sam tells Luis that he is doing the right thing. He would do anything for his family and Grace. Luis tells Sam he has a good life. Luis says that when he was younger and thought about getting married, he wanted it to be like his parents, but he says that is a joke now. He says that he wants to be like Sam. Luis says that he has seen how quickly marriages fall apart. He had a case awhile back where a woman stabbed her husband because she found him with another woman. Apparently the woman was an old girlfriend who came back into the picture and the man couldn't stay away. Luis tells Sam he's lucky and Sam snaps saying that isn't going to happen to him. Luis says he wasn't talking about him and Sam apologizes and says he is just stressed. He asks Luis if he is okay because he is going to go to Grace's shop and surprise her. Luis says yes and he's going to get the tests run. Grace is putting stuff away in her shop and flashes back to seeing Ivy and Sam kissing at the Christmas party. Grace puts on this hat and says that Sam likes her in this hat. She is looking in the mirror and Ivy comes in and says she likes the hat. Grace asks what she is doing there and Ivy says she needs a favor. Ivy tells her how badly she feel for Pilar and her family and wants to help them out financially, but Pilar is too proud to take the money from her. She asks if Grace could maybe arrange for Father Lonigan to give it to her so she won't know it is from the Cranes. Grace tells her she is very generous and goes to call him. Ivy tries on the hat and wonders if Sam would like her in the hat. Sam is outside looking in holding some flowers and sees who he thinks is Grace. He walks in and wraps his arms around Ivy saying "hello beautiful" just as Grace walks in. Sam tells them he thought she was Grace because he saw the hat. Grace says she understands and Ivy leaves. Sam apologizes to Grace again and she says she's not the jealous type and understands. Sam hugs her and sees Ivy watching them from outside. Ivy says that Grace can have him now, but she had him first and she will get him back. Tabitha is reading in one of her books, but is having trouble making out what it says because the words are faded. Timmy comes in wearing his lounging robe and says he holds in his hand the greatest martini ever made. Tabitha grabs it out of his hands saying this will be perfect and pours it on the book hoping it would make the ink show up. Timmy says she just dumped out his liquid gold! Tabitha was trying to see if it worked and Timmy was trying to salvage any remains of the drink and started licking the glass. Tabitha says it didn't work and there has to be a way to get Charity and Miguel apart. The angel comes in and tells Tabitha she won't succeed in luring Charity to their side. Tabitha reminds her of what she said on New year's Eve and the angel says she said it was possible Charity could turn evil, not definite. Tabitha says she just needs a lock of her hair and that would be the perfect ingredient to get Charity to turn. Tabby goes for her but she vanishes. There is a knock at the door and it is Kay. She tells Tabitha the broach doesn't work and asks if it is real or she just made up a story. Tabitha tells her that if she can't see the boy she loves in there, he is closer to becoming someone else's boyfriend. Kay says that can't happen and Tabitha shakes her telling her not to give up. Kay gets freaked out but Tabby makes up a story about her fingers locking up. She says it's due to old age. She tells Kay to be confident, and Tabitha will come up with something. She scoots Kay out of her house and Timmy says that he doesn't think Kay has a prayer of coming between Charity and Miguel. Charity and Miguel are in the park walking and they are talking about his father's death. She says she'll be there for him anyway she can. They are looking through one of those telescopes that you put quarters in and Miguel tells her a story about the island out there. He says that his father always dreamed about buying the island and fixing up the house. He tells Charity his dream is to own that island himself one day and spend his days there with the person he loves. Charity tells him she is sure he will get his dream one day and asks if she can be a part of it. Miguel says there is no one he would rather be with. He says they can build a big log cabin with a big stone fireplace, and they can swim during the summers and snuggle under a blanket together during the winter. Luis comes up to them and apologizes for interrupting, but he has something to tell Miguel. He tells Miguel that he is going to have DNA tests run on the body to prove to Mama that it really is their father. Miguel says that all the evidence already points to it being their father. Luis agrees with him, but he says that Mama can't believe it. Charity says they should listen to her because you have to trust your heart on matters of love. Miguel says that Charity is right. Luis leaves and Charity reiterates to Miguel that if he is ever in doubt, he needs to stop and listen to his heart. Miguel leans in and kisses Charity just as Kay returns and witnesses the whole thing. She has tears running down her face and turns away so she won't have to watch.
