Episode #169

At the Book Cafe, the manager of the Seascape Restaurant hires Chad to DJ the hospital benefit. He tells Chad that there will be a lot of influential people there so it might be a great benefit for him to be there. Chad tells him that it would be a golden opportunity in more ways than one, as he looks over at Whitney. Whitney and Theresa are discussing the benefit. Whitney tells her that it may be the perfect opportunity for her to find someone new, and to get her mind off of Ethan. Theresa says that she doubts that anyone can make her forget Ethan. She says that she aches every time she thinks of him being engaged to Gwen. Whitney tells her that maybe it is fate. She tells her that maybe the guy that is escorting her will be the one that she could become interested in. Theresa says that no ordinary guy could ever compare to Ethan. Theresa said that she is glad that there is no chance that she will run into Ethan, because if she sees him she would probably just throw her arms around him and tell him how much she loves him. She says that she has loved Ethan her entire life, and she didn't want Whitney to expect miracles. Theresa tells Whitney that she knows that the only reason that she wanted to go to the dance was to help her get her mind off of Ethan. She said that she knew that Whitney's mind was focused on tennis, not guys. Whitney said that Theresa was absolutely right. Whitney said not everyone thinks that. She said that some people actually think that she needs a boyfriend or a love life to be happy. She said that once she wins her first grand slam, she will have everything that she needed. The manager of the Seascape tells Chad that there is a policy against employees fraternizing with the guests. Theresa asks Whitney if she is interested in Chad. Whitney says that that would be ridiculous. She said that Chad had tried to get her all hot and bothered by playing some love song and blowing in her ear. She told Theresa that she thought it was gross. As they leave, Chad tells Whitney that tonight could be the night that she finally falls in love. At the wharf, Luis is thinking about Sheridan. He flashes back to their time at the pool hall. Hank joins him and asks him about his feelings for Sheridan. He says that every time he looks around they are together. Luis said that they had only been out on a few dates so he doesn't know what his feelings are yet. He said that Hank should ask Sheridan what her feelings are for him, because she is the one that continuously gives out mixed signals. Hank still feels that in the end, he will end up with Sheridan. At the Crane Mansion, Ethan is getting off the phone when Sheridan comes in. Ethan asks her to join him and Gwen at the Seascape. Sheridan tells him that they just got engaged and that three was a crowd. He tells her that she would certainly not be intruding, that they would love for her to join them. He tells her that now that he was engaged, he was going to work at finding her someone to love. She tells him that it may not be so hard to do. She tells him about her and Luis going to the pool hall. She told him that she won at darts and drank beer. He tells her that they have nothing in common. She told him that they both liked ice skating among other things. He tells her that she and Luis were from two different worlds. He said that she was high society and Luis was common. Sheridan can't believe that Ethan is asking like such a snob. She said that she could understand this coming from Julian or Alastair, but not him. She is becoming furious. Ethan can't believe that she took him seriously. He said that he wanted her to react so that he could see what Luis really meant to her. He tells her that if you love someone, money and social standing doesn't matter. At the Bennett House, Charity is still having visions of Eve and Julian. At one point, she sees Eve slap Julian and then he throws her down on the bed. Charity is screaming. Grace and Eve try to comfort her, but have no success. Eve asks TC to run home and get her medical bag so that she could give Charity a sedative. Eve and Grace try to get Charity to tell them what she saw. She tries to tell Eve that she saw her. Tabitha sneaks into the Bennett house after she hears Charity screaming, because she feels like something really big is going to happen. Kay is very excited about the possibility of Charity being committed. Miguel is very upset because he doesn't really know how to help Charity. Kay tells Simone that she has to help her or she won't help Simone get Chad. Eve tells Charity to close her eyes so that she can stop seeing into the mirror. Charity does close her eyes and doesn't see the visions anymore, but she immediately opens them again and gets upset about what she sees. Grace asks her to tell her what she is seeing. She said that she saw Dr. Russell with a man. Grace asks if it was TC. Charity says that it was Julian Crane. Tabitha is standing at the door eavesdropping and is very excited to hear this because she knows soon that all hell is going to break lose. AT the Book Cafe, Hank and Luis enter. Chad gives them coffee on the house because he wants to thank Luis for recommending him for the job at the Seascape. Luis said that he didn't get him the job. He tells Chad that he had been doing such a good job that word has just gotten around. Chad asks Luis advice about getting involved with an uptown girl. Luis tells him not to worry about the money thing, and to just be himself. He tells him to show the girl that he is interested in her, not her family or her social standing. Hank tells Chad that Luis is wrong. Hank tells him that you have to show the girl that you can live her lifestyle. He tells him to wine and dine her and to borrow money if he has to. Luis tells Chad not to listen to any of that junk, and Hank tells him the same. Chad says to himself that if that is the game that he has to play then he won't even get off the bench because he doesn't have a dime. Luis has to get back to work and Hank follows him. After Ethan leaves, Sheridan phones the police dept so that she can talk with Luis, but he isn't there. They do tell her where she is. Luis tells Hank that the next time that he sees Sheridan will tell him a lot. He tells Hanks that he has to start his stake-out and Hank leaves. Luis says to himself that he wonders when he will see her again. When he turns around, he sees Sheridan. He then kisses her. Whitney and Theresa are getting dressed for their dates when the doorbell rings. When Whitney goes to answer the door, Theresa gets the ripped up picture of Ethan from the garbage can. When Whitney calls out to her, she says that she doesn't know how she will get over him. She then puts the picture back into the garbage can. Theresa, Whitney and their dates arrive at the Seascape. Ethan is already there, but Theresa doesn't see him. The guys tell them how beautiful and awesome they are and can't believe that they are not involved with anyone. Theresa says that she doesn't have anybody special, anymore. Whitney says that she hasn't found anyone who interests her more than tennis. She looks across the room and spots Chad. Theresa says that there was someone once, and then she spots Ethan across the room and just looks at him. Julian is on the phone talking to his father. Alastair tells him that he has found a way to end any chance of Luis and Sheridan ever being together. Julian tells Alastair that he can count on him. Alastair says that there is a first time for everything and hangs up. Julian says that he almost feels sorry for Sheridan because he knows what their father is capable of. He says that Sheridan and Luis won't know what hit them.
