Episode #108

Description:Eve is at the stove fixing breakfast and T.C. is talking to her. She's zoned out and he's trying to get her attention. Sam comes in and says he'll take his eggs over easy. Sam wants to know what T.C. wanted to talk to him about. T.C. asks if he's heard anything new about the hit and run, and Sam says it tops his list this morning. He leaves to use the phone and Eve asks why he's involving the chief of police in this. T.C. says b/c he's his best friend and there was a hit and run accident. She goes off wondering why he's so interested and he tells her if he didn't know any better he would think she was trying to keep this thing from being investigated at all. Whitney comes in from tennis practice and hears they are talking about Orville. She asks about him and Eve goes off on her saying to stay away from Chad. T.C. and Sam leave and Whitney asks what's wrong w/her today. She says she's just concerned about her and Simone getting mixed up w/the wrong crowd. Whitney said she was always taught, by her, that everyone needs to be given the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Eve tells her she knows all she needs to know about Chad and they must stay away from him. T.C. and Sam are looking around Orville's apt. and looking for any clues. They aren't having any luck until T.C. knocks over a box and a bunch of blue envelopes w/Orville's name on them fall out. They aren't stamped and they figured they must have been hand delivered. There is only one that has been opened and there is a $100 bill in it. T.C. says there is something familiar about those envelopes but he can't quite place it. Next scene Eve is in her office and she pulls out the same blue envelopes that Orville's money was in. Julian is sitting nervously at his desk drinking a cup of coffee. Ivy comes in from working out and starts taunting him. He asks if she was finished fooling around with her trainer. She said he was cute but not her type. Ivy also says Julian should try working out sometime to get rid of his spare tire. He informs her that he's in perfect shape, but she never sees him w/o his clothes. She cringes and tells him it's too early in the morning for that. She wants to know why he's up so early and asks if he had trouble sleeping. He says he's fine but she teases him about worrying what Sheridan will find...or whom she will find rather. He tells her to shut up and she tells him he's too touchy and should switch to decaf. She demands to know what he's covering up and he tells her nothing. He tells her he's in no mood to play 'let's provoke Julian.' She says that's a pity b/c it's her favorite game. He tells her she's on the wrong track anyway. He's not worried what she'll find. Julian wants to know what Sheridan is doing with Luis in New Mexico. Ivy tells him to use his imagination if he even has any. He says he's checked the hotels and of course they are staying at some fleabag motel. He said he rang her room and she's not there. He wants to know what she's up to, and Ivy tells him she's trying to figure out if Martin is alive and if her nightmare about that night is real. Julian says that, as usual, she's making a mountain out of a molehill and Ivy said she'll phone Alistair and he can be the judge of that. Julian tells her she won't talk to Alistair about anything. Ivy wants to know if he's just going to let Sheridan continue having nightmares for the rest of her life. Theresa is smelling some roses on a table when Ethan comes in and tells her he got the car started. She tells him she's sorry about everything getting screwed up with Gwen. She goes into flashback mode and thinks about all the fun they had together last night. He says Gwen is really upset and wonders what will happen. He says he know how it must have looked, and he would be mad if the situation was reversed. Ethan asks her what she would do if the situation happened to her. She said if my man were with another woman I would fight with everything she had to prove how much she loved him and that she wanted to work things out. Ethan tries to call Sheridan to see what he should do, but she's not there. Theresa calls home to tell Pilar that they are on the way home. Pilar inquires about Gwen and Theresa says she'll fill her in when she gets home. Pilar tells her that Luis is in New Mexico looking for Martin, but he's not alone...he's with Sheridan. She says that's weird. Ethan asks what they are doing together in New Mexico and Theresa tells him they are looking for her father. They are in the car and she just keeps staring at him daydreaming about them at the cabin. This is total daydream b/c he asks her to make love to him. Ethan tells her he knows what she's thinking..."how could I get involved in Ethan's screwed up love life." He tells her he's sorry she has to play the other woman in this triangle even if their affair only exists in Gwen's head. She tells him she doesn't mind and that she's been through worse. Theresa gets home and Whitney and her mother are waiting for her. Theresa fills them in on what happened and how Gwen left. She said something about sleeping in front of the fire w/Ethan and Pilar says "tell me you are still a good girl, Theresa." Theresa said it wasn't like that, they just had to stay warm. Pilar tells her to be careful b/c Gwen is tougher than she looks and she will fight for Ethan. She leaves to get ready for work and Whitney warns her too. There is a knock at the door and Theresa thinks it could be Ethan. She opens the door and it's Gwen. She tells Theresa they need to talk. Ethan comes home and hears Ivy and Julian arguing. Ethan tells them that Gwen is mad at him b/c she found he and Theresa sleeping in front of the fire. Julian said "only sleeping?" Ethan hands him his precious papers and goes to call Gwen. They are driving in the rental car and Sheridan is sleeping. Luis's eyes are getting heavy and he has his flashback about his father telling him he's going to baseball camp. Sheridan wakes up and says he's been driving all night and to let her drive for a while. Luis tells her they are almost there and that he's fine. She looks up and yells for him to look out for the curve in the road. What happens next, well, you guessed it, he wrecked the car. He gets out and asks if she's okay. She tells him she's just a little shaky and asks if he's okay. He says that he is, but the car isn't. It won't start and she said they can just walk. He says the only place they are going is to the hospital so she can get checked out. She tells him she's fine and that it's not like she's never been in a car accident before. He sorta laughs and agrees, but says this one was his fault. Luis says he's still figuring out what he's going to do when he sees his father. Sheridan said she's going to be there when he does. He says he sorta buys her story about helping Pilar but thinks there's something more to it. They are hiking up a hill and they get to a diner at the top. She says Pilar means more to her than he realizes. Sheridan says w/o her she's not sure where she'd be today. Luis asks if she's being a little dramatic and she tells him no. Just because she was born a Crane doesn't mean she hasn't had problems. Luis says he believes her b/c he was there last night when she had her nightmare. Sheridan says Pilar got her through those and he wants to know why she won't tell him what they're about. They go inside to get some coffee and the man says that there is a big storm coming and a chance for flooding. They insist on going anyway. They are outside looking up at the stars and talking about how beautiful this place is. Luis talks about how this place is perfect to retired in. Sheridan tells Luis he's too young to be thinking of retiring. He says something about working hard for a living and Sheridan says "here we go again." He assures her he's not picking on her, he's just saying it's different because he is always going to have to work all his life...he says he likes his way better. She says to be honest...if someone offered him a billion dollars he would take it. He smiles and says he's proud not crazy. They see a rain cloud but decide to chance it saying they're not afraid of a little rain. They are walking along in torrential downpour and there is lots of flooding in the river. Luis says they should've listened to the guy at the diner. He tells her maybe they should go back and she says she thinks she sees a cabin. He tells her to stay put while he finds a more shallow place to cross. She doesn't listen and follows him. He turns around and says "what the hell is wrong with you, don't you listen?" She tells him no and not to tell her to go back b/c she won't. He gives her his hand and tells her not to let go. They are climbing up some rocks. He reaches out his hand for Sheridan to grab and tells her to hold on and that she's doing great. She says "not bad for a spoiled princess, huh?" He says not too shabby at all. As soon as he said that there is a mudslide and Sheridan screams and falls off the rocks and into the water. Luis is yelling her name, and I couldn't tell if he fell too...I kinda don't think he did.
