Episode #174

At the Bennett House, Eve is sitting with Charity while she sleeps. Charity is very restless and is still dreaming about Eve and Julian. Eve says that her worst nightmare is coming true and that no one must find out about her past with Julian. She feels that she will lose everything that is dear to her. She says that TC thinks that she is perfect and she didn't know what he would do if her found out about her and Julian. She said that he would be very angry and could possibly hurt or murder someone because of it. Timmy and Tabitha are outside the door listening. Tabitha is very excited that some lives will be destroyed. Timmy said that he didn't really want to stay there and watch, so Tabitha tells him that maybe he would rather play with Kay instead. At the Book Cafe, Whitney and Chad are still discussing Eve and Julian. Chad asks Whitney if she knew where her mother was last night because he definitely saw a woman wearing those shoes hiding. Whitney says that she doesn't know where her mother was, but she is certain that there must be someone else with those shoes because her mother would not have an affair with Julian. TC walks up and angrily demands that they tell him what they were discussing about Eve and Julian. He even smashes a teapot. Whitney is having a hard time getting any words out so Chad says that it was a joke and that he didn't mean anything by that. TC asks: " Do you think my wife having an affair with another man is a joke?" Chad says that that is not what he meant. TC asks him to tell him right now what he did mean. Whitney asks TC to calm down because he was scaring her. Whitney explains that Chad was at the Book Cafe last night. TC says that he knows that because Sam had gotten a call about a break-in and he had come with Sam. Chad further explains that Julian was there and he was with a woman, who was hiding. Chad said that he didn't see her face, just the shoes that she was wearing. TC says that he knows that the woman wasn't his wife. Whitney said that the woman had on the same shoes that she had borrowed from Eve. Chad tells him that that is how the speculation started about Eve, but that it was just a joke. TC asked Chad if he thought that adultery was funny. He further tells him that there were lots of shoes like that. Chad tells TC that he knows that it was dumb of him to say something like that. TC tells him that what he said was irresponsible, disrespectful, and close to scandalous. He then threatened to hit Chad, but Whitney grabbed his arm. Whitney said that she knew that Eve wouldn't have an affair with JUlian, but she wanted to know why TC was so angry. TC said that he wouldn't have Eve's name dragged through the mud. He tells Chad that he didn't know Eve because she was the most honorable, trustworthy person that he knew and she wouldn't do anything to disgrace herself or the family's name. He said that the Cranes had no regard for anyone but themselves. He said that all they knew how to do was to take and to hurt. He talks about the farm that the Cranes stole from his great-grandfather. Whitney asks him if that is the reason that he didn't want the Cranes to be her sponsor. TC said that it was only one of the reasons. He said that he would rather see all the Cranes dead than to let them hurt his family, again. Whitney tells him that he didn't mean that, but TC said that he meant every word. He leaves, and Chad said that he certainly wouldn't want to get on TC's bad side. Whitney is worried. She said that she had never seen TC like that before and the look in his eyes really scared her and got her to thinking about murder. She flashes back to when Tabitha was the fortune teller and told her that if she kept pursuing her tennis, her father would commit murder. She tells Chad about the prediction. Chad tells her that stuff like that was a scam and that TC was a good guy and would never kill anyone. Whitney says that TC loved Eve and his family and if anyone ever threatened them, she didn't know what he would do. Also at the book cafe, Theresa is talking about the budding romance between two people in their families. Ethan tells her that there could never be a relationship between a Crane and a Lopez-Fitzgerald. Theresa is stunned to hear this, but Ethan is adamant and doesn't want to discuss it. Theresa is about to leave, but Ethan quickly apologizes to her. He tells her that he doesn't want the problems with the family to come between them because he considered her a really good friend. He said that if it weren't for her, he and Gwen would probably not be engaged. Theresa says that he must really love Gwen. He said that of course he did. He went on to explain that they practically grew up together and knew the same people and traveled in the same circles. Theresa said that she thought that if you loved someone if didn't matter where you came from because true love would win in the end. Ethan said that he used to believe that, but now he realizes that people should be with people of their own class. Theresa wants to know what is bothering him, but he said that it was personal and he didn't think that Sheridan would want him to discuss it. Theresa explained that Luis was a really nice guy underneath his tough exterior. Ethan says that she had to believe that because Luis was her brother. Ethan notices that Theresa is reading Cinderella and they talk about the night that they went to the ballet, Ethan then leaves. AT the Youth Center, Sheridan is headed out the door when Luis sees her. He asks her if she got his message. She says that she got it loud and clear. She then tells him that she has a message for him, but she wants him to really listen because she doesn't want him to misunderstand any of it . She then slaps him in the face. He asks her why she did that. She tells him to stay out of her life because she never wanted to see him again. Luis looks puzzled. He asks her again about why she slapped him, but she said that he already knew. He said that he certainly didn't know. She said that she has known all along what kind of guy his was and what he was after. She tells him that he picked the wrong girl. He says that he deserves some kind of explanation about what is going on, but she says that he doesn't deserve anything. She tells him that from now on she would stay on her side of the tracks and he would stay on his. She doesn't want to give him any specific details. He still wants to know what all this is about. Sheridan flashes back to the famous phone call on the wharf. She tells him that he knows exactly what she is talking about, but he keeps replying that he doesn't. She tells him that she can play that little game too. She tells him that he once said that the rich and the poor couldn't mix because they didn't have anything in common and that they came from two different worlds. He said that he doesn't necessarily think that way anymore, but Sheridan interrupts him and says that he was right. She said that they certainly cannot fit into her life. She tells him that she was used to guys like him, but she tells him that she was using him, too. She tells him that he had to have known that the only thing that he could be to her was a fling. She said that he was her boytoy, someone that she could have her fun with until she became bored and moved on. She said that they had had their fifteen minutes of fun and since her time was up at the Center, she didn't care if she ever saw him again because he had served his purpose. She leaves and stands outside crying. Luis goes into his office and crumples up the card that he was going to give to Sheridan. Ethan walks upon Sheridan crying and wants to go give Luis a piece of his mind, but Sheridan tells him not to bother. They then go to the Book Cafe and further discuss the situation. The imposter Luis enters and listens to their conversation. Luis is still angry with Sheridan, while hitting the punching bag. He flashes back to some of their happy times together. Theresa enters and asks about him and Sheridan . He tells her that there is nothing between them. She asks him what he did to Sheridan, he said that he didn't know. He said that he thought that they were getting along fine, but then she just laid into him and said that she was finished with him and never wanted to see him again. Theresa encourages him to go after her, but he said that he wouldn't go crawling to her. He said that Cranes and Lopez-Fitzgeralds just didn't mix. He said that it made him even more determined to keep her away from that family. She tells him that nothing will happen with her and Ethan. Luis is glad to hear this. TC arrives at the Bennett house. Eve wants to know why he is not at practice. He tells her that he cancelled it because he wanted to be with his beautiful wife. She notices that he is upset. He tells her about Whitney and Chad's conservation about Chad seeing Julian at the Book Cafe with a woman wearing the same shoes that Whitney had on. Eve remarked that those were her shoes, and TC said that Chad speculated that she might be having an affair with Julian, Eve nervously drops her cup. Tabitha tells Timmy to fasten his seatbelt because all hell was about to break loose. Eve tells him that she was startled about what he said.TC said that he knew that it wasn't her with Julian and that Chad didn't believe it either. Chad was just saying what if. TC tells her that if he really believed that she was with Julian, he wouldn't be that calm about it. He said that he would be so angry that he wouldn't want to think about what he would do. Charity starts screaming no and they head upstairs. TC tells Eve about the quilt that he received from TAbitha. He tells her about the Cranes stealing their land. He finds a paper in the tear of a seam. It says that there will be a person with great powers that could come and destroy evil and this person would speak the truth that would destroy a family. TC said that it would be wonderful if it was talking about the Cranes. Tabitha says to herself, that it was his family. Charity wakes up screaming " don't sleep with Julian, Dr. Russell" TC asks Eve if she heard what Charity said. Julian is at home talking to his father on the phone. Alistair tells him to get rid of the mask. He also tells Julian that he better be careful about his past because there were things that could come back to haunt him. Julian said that he had been very careful, and Alistair said that he hoped that he had.
