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.
