Episode #161

As everyone is pulling Charity in, Miguel steps back and falls through the ice! Tabby and Timmy talk about how Miguel will die by Charity's hand and then she can come over to the dark side. Miguel goes under the water and nobody can seem to find him. Charity is led away by Eve and Sheridan but becomes hysterical when she asks where Miguel is and realizes he's under the ice. Kay says she'll never forgive herself if anything happens to Miguel--what has she done? Simone tells her that she has to stop trying to keep Charity and Miguel apart and Kay nods her head. When Chad comments on how long Miguel has been under the ice, Luis tries to get to his brother but is held back. Timmy says his heart is breaking for poor Charity and Tabby says there'll be a lot more grieving, but it'll be better once Charity comes over to the dark side. Charity gets closer to the ice and prays for Miguel to be all right, but she is taken away from the ice. Ethan and Gwen console Theresa--Ethan takes her hand, inadvertently covering up the engagement ring. Theresa vows that if Miguel comes out all right, she'll stay out of Gwen and Ethan's way unless Ethan wants her. Luis is about to break off some ice and strand himself when Miguel pops up, coughing. Tabby says he's not out of the woods yet. Miguel calls for Charity and Charity goes to him but the ice starts to break even more and she has to go back. They decide to lower a ladder to Miguel and they need someone light to go out on the ladder. Timmy says he'll do it! He fantasizes about being a hero "Super Tim" and Charity kissing him, but Tabby says it'll never happen. Both Kay and Theresa want to go out on the ladder, but Luis says Theresa can go. Gwen notices how nervous Sheridan is about Luis and Sheridan says if she pursues a relationship with Luis it can only end in heartache. Gwen says that doesn't sound like Sheridan at all and Sheridan says she's been talking to Julian. Gwen tells Sheridan to listen to her heart, not her brother. Then Gwen says that Ethan has been acting strangely about her engagement ring and Sheridan tells her not to worry about it. Gwen says her ring seems like a small problem compared to Miguel's predicament. Everyone looks on, worried, as Theresa heads out on the ladder. Miguel tells her to go back, but she presses on. Gwen tells Ethan that he's really worried about Theresa, isn't he? She says she isn't upset about it, she's worries about Theresa too. Ethan says they both have to survive. Miguel goes under again and Kay wants to save him but he comes back to the surface and calls to Charity again. Beth comments that they have real love and Sheridan says it must be nice to have that kind of love. As Theresa reaches for Miguel's hand Gwen sees the ring on her finger! Theresa grabs Miguel's hand and they pull him in. The Lopez-Fitzgeralds hug and then Miguel and Charity share a long embrace. Timmy says he knew true love would win and Tabby is disgusted. Eve says they should go to the hospital but Charity and Miguel want to go to the Bennett house and Eve finally agrees. Miguel and Charity say what great friends Kay and Simone are and they all head for Kay's house. Tabby and Timmy head home so Tabby can keep an eye on Charity and Miguel. Luis and Theresa hug and Sheridan comments on the love of their family. Luis sends Theresa home with Whitney and says he'll stay to rope off the area. Gwen and Ethan head for the Book Cafe. Sheridan tells Luis she's glad it's going to be okay and Luis says his family is the world to him. She says she doesn't know what she'd do if anything happened to someone she cared about. Her and Luis say at the same time "There's something I need to tell..." but then Hank and Beth come to help close off the area. Beth says she's exhausted and Sheridan comments again on the love in Luis's family and the love in Harmony. Beth tells her a Crane could never really be accepted by the locals and the only match she has in Harmony would be Hank because Hank doesn't always stay in town, yet he has good family values. Meanwhile Hank and Luis are talking about the love between Charity and Miguel and how they'd like to find love like that. Hank says Luis may already have found it. Luis thinks of all his experiences with Sheridan and Hank says that Beth is the one that has always been there for Luis. He says Beth and Luis are perfect for each other and a relationship between Luis and Sheridan would never last. They finish roping off the area and Hank goes to get coffee with Beth. Luis goes by Sheridan and she says what she was going to say to him before wasn't really important. Luis says he just wanted to thank Sheridan for her support. Hank and Beth come back, and Hank and Sheridan leave to "finish their date." Luis tells Beth it's nice to have someone worrying about him and Beth says she'll always worry about him. Kay is pacing, worried about Miguel, but Simone says he'll be fine. Simone tells Chad he did a great job out there. Chad says Miguel is one of the good guys, you know? Simone says so are you, Chad. Reese answers the doorbell and it's Tabby with some hot tea. They tell her that Eve is upstairs with Miguel and Charity and Tabby says then they're in good hands. She starts talking to Simone and asks what Eve did before she was a doctor? Simone says Eve was a debutante and she had a good upbringing. She says she wishes she could be more like her mom and Tabby says it must be nice to look at old pictures of Eve in her childhood. Simone says actually, there aren't any pictures of Eve as a child. Eve comes down and says Miguel and Charity are fine, but Miguel should stay the night. Kay offers to sleep in the chair next to Miguel's bed and she says Simone can be Charity's nurse. Charity says that's a good idea. Charity says she thought she'd lose Miguel and he says he'll never leave her. Kay tells Simone that tonight is her and Miguel's night. Eve tells the kids to get some rest and they go upstairs. Kay rushes Miguel and Charity off to their separate rooms and can hardly contain her excitement about being alone with Miguel for the whole night. Suddenly they hear Miguel calling Charity's name. Charity can hear it in her room too--he's calling her through the heating vent. He says he can't wait until he sees Charity in the morning. Simone tells Kay even walls can't come between Charity and Miguel. Kay says all right, no more Mr. Nice Guy. It's time to get tough about getting Miguel. Meanwhile, Chad tells TC about Charity's premonitions and TC mentions Eve's concern about Orville's bird statue. Chad questions Eve but she says she was just checking it out for Orville. Tabby puts the envelope back inside the bird and says she'll just have to save the surprise for later. Gwen comments to Ethan about how heroic Theresa was and then she says she saw a huge, expensive ring on Theresa's finger when she reached out to Miguel! Ethan says her mind is playing tricks on her and it must have been the moonlight playing on a piece of ice. Gwen says it doesn't matter, but she wants Ethan to give her, her engagement ring in the morning even though it's only symbolic. She leaves to look at bridal magazines and Ethan says he has to get that ring by morning somehow. Whitney brings Theresa some hot tea and comments on the size of the ring. Theresa says she'll never show Gwen the ring and tells Whitney about the promise she made when Miguel was under the ice. Whitney says what, you've made a promise to stay out of Ethan and Gwen's lives and now you're going to break it? Theresa says she can't help it if the ring won't come off. Whitney goes home and Theresa is playing with the ring when it suddenly slides right off her finger! She tries to put it back on when Ethan calls. He tells her Gwen saw the ring and Theresa apologizes. He says it isn't her fault and he doesn't suppose she's gotten it off? She lies and says it's still there. He says they'll just have to wait and see how things turn out tomorrow.
