Episode #177

Ivy goes into Julian's study and hears him talking to Alistair all about the Luis imposter. When he hangs up, Ivy yells at him for keeping Luis and Sheridan apart but he says they will destroy the Crane family otherwise. She threatens to tell Sheridan and Julian says she will lose everything. She says she doesn't care, because she doesn't want Sheridan to have a loveless marriage. He brings up their love life, and Ivy flashes back to making love to Sam on her wedding night. She says she's going to blow Julian out of the water, but Julian says what if she loses Ethan too? He says if Ivy brings down the family, Ethan will lose everything as well, including Gwen, the love of his life. Ivy says Ethan believes in things other than a name and he'd want to know about Julian and Alistair's plans. Still, she decides to protect Ethan once again and not tell Sheridan. Julian says Sheridan will soon forget about Luis and Ivy asks if he really believes that. Luis is at the police station and Sam asks him what's wrong. Luis tells him about Sheridan and says nothing like that will ever happen again. Sam says the Sheridan he knows wouldn't slap Luis and something must have happened. Luis says it must have been her family, but he thought she was tougher than that. Sam says Luis wouldn't be getting so worked up if he didn't care about her. Luis admits that he was starting to care about Sheridan. He says things started to go well after Santa Fe, but maybe his slap in the face was a wake up call. Sam says he knows what Luis is going through and remembers his times with Ivy. Luis questions him about it but he insists that Grace is the woman he loves. He says Luis may never understand why Sheridan did this and he must forget her. Luis says he intends to but Sam says it is tough to forget someone emotionally. Discussion turns to Luis' career and Sam reminds him he is up for detective, but in order to get the job, he must close one more case: the Sheridan kidnapping/death of fake Martin. Luis says fine, he's never let his feelings interfere with his work before. He goes to question Sheridan. Ethan shows up at Sheridan's cottage and asks why she's going to Europe. She says she has to and he says she can't because he needs her for advice and fun. He tells her to forget Luis but she says she is hurting too much. Ethan hugs her and she says the hardest part of staying in Harmony is the emotional part. Ethan says running away won't change that and she starts to cry. He says he's really angry at Luis for what he did to Sheridan and tells her that if she wants, he can get Luis fired. Sheridan refuses to do that and tries to rationalize about Luis' behavior and says it's her fault. She says she's tired and so Ethan leaves, telling her not to leave until they've talked more. She sits down and starts dreaming about Luis coming to her house, apologizing, and kissing her. There is a knock on the door and it's the real Luis. Eve says they are going to take Charity to the hospital. Under the bed, Tabby and Timmy try to reach the bird. Grace comes in and Eve fills her in. Simone pulls Kay aside and tells her she will rot in hell for this. Kay says maybe Simone is right and she should show Eve the bird. They go back in and Miguel is comforting Charity. Kay says never mind, Charity is doing just fine on her own. Jessica comes up and says Kay is up to something. Kay says she'll tell them what she has to do with Charity going crazy--nothing. Jessica threatens to tell Grace, but Kay says it will only upset her. They get ready to take Charity to the hospital and Kay asks Eve if Charity should be in a straitjacket. Eve says that's not necessary and Grace and Charity leave with Miguel. Simone tells Kay that now that Charity is away from the bird, she'll be fine. Kay gets another idea but says they should see Charity off. Tabby & Timmy come out from under the bed, and Tabby says she can't get to Charity if she's locked up. Suddenly, Kay and Simone come back and Tabby hides while Timmy goes into doll mode. Kay picks him up and says she can use the doll in her plan. She gets the bird from under the bed and says she'll put the bird in the doll and make Charity crazy. She takes a scissors and is about to make the first cut. Miguel comes in and Charity says he's been so good to her. He says they'll always be together but Charity tells him to leave and never turn back.
