dreams. He thinks that it will cause harm to the family and unwanted stress.
Sheridan agrees with him but tries to reason that Luis might be able to help
her and get things off her chest. Meanwhile, Luis has been talking to Hank
outside telling him that Sheridan's dreams might have something to do with
his father's disappearance. When the two decide to go back in, Ethan tells
Sheridan that they can't let anyone know about it. Luis hears and asks what
it is that shouldn't be known. Ethan doesn't answer right away so Luis walks
over to him and asks more forcefully. They are about to get into a fight when
Sheridan orders Ethan to get out. After he's gone, Luis is mad at Sheridan
because she's going to let her family push her around making it impossible
for her to get to the bottom of things. Sheridan lets him know that she's not
going to let anyone push her around and they will continue to find out what
her dream is about.

Julian looks through the case and at the papers. He asks Ivy to explain and
she grabs Pilar and asks her how she could betray her. Ivy remembers a talk
she had with Pilar in which Pilar told her to burn the papers but she refused
to because it was her last connection to Sam. Ivy turns back to Julian and is
about to explain the whole messy ordeal when Pilar steps in and tells him
that she now keeps her financial records in the attaché case. When this is
said, Sam is tired of the whole Crane soap opera and thinks it's about time
the Crane empire came down but Julian is convinced that Ethan won't let that
happen. Sam retaliates saying that Ethan is arrogant and better not get in
his face. Ivy is grateful to Pilar for switching the papers but Pilar isn't
so happy. She tells Ivy to stop pursuing Sam and burn the papers but Ivy
won't listen. Then Julian overhears them whispering and asks what they're
doing. They're about to answer when Sam pops in and tells Pilar to call him
if she wants to press charges. She doesn't but she wants Theresa's keys
back. Julian reluctantly hands them over but when Sam's gone, he makes a
point to tell Pilar and Ivy that he knows what's going on and he won't stop
until he finds out what it is. Ivy, ever the cocky one, says to let it go and
give up because he won't find out. Besides, by following this instinct, he's
being stupid and wasn't it his instincts that got him disinherited? Ivy is
excused and leaves. On the way to the mansion, Ethan runs into Sam Bennett.
Ethan orders him to get Sheridan a new bodyguard but,
of course, Sam won't listen. He wants Ethan to check the police records that
he brought for Julian. Ethan won't listen either and they are about to fight
when Sam says that they said things in anger and should just make peace.
Ethan doesn't care and starts a long tirade on how he'll get Sam fired. Just
then, Ivy comes out and orders Ethan to get inside. An angry Ethan storms in
complaining about Sam Bennett but Pilar calms him and tells him they should
check out wedding gifts. Ethan then says something about his mother's attaché
case and her secret that Julian overhears. He asks Ethan what the secret is
about and Ethan answers him because the papers are about himself. Julian
wonders about this.

feels that Mrs. Crane is just a very lonely woman who has no true friends.
She even compliments Eve on how great a friend she is but Eve feels
embarrassed because she really isn't that great of a person; the reason
being, she's helping Ivy to get closer to Sam. Grace leaves her to find her
camera so she can take a picture of Charity and Miguel on the swing. She goes
into her bedroom and sees the angel again who warns her to have faith because
grave things are coming to Harmony. There's also a threat to her marriage
because someone close to her is working against her. That is when Grace
demands to know who it is.
Tabitha/Timmy/Charity:
Tabitha tells Timmy about how she has to get Charity to wear the pendant.
That's when Charity comes over and tells Tabitha she knows why she wants her
to wear the pendant. It's because she looks pretty in it and Tabitha wants to
make her more beautiful for Miguel. Tabitha lies and says that's exactly why.
They go into Charity's room where the pendant has been glowing, begging
Charity to come to the dark side. She slips into it and the powers begin to
kick in. The evil Charity tells Tabitha she has failed again and she is
useless to the dark side. The dark side decides to kill her using Charity as
the instigator. The evil Charity keeps trying to strike Tabitha who grabs
Timmy and hides behind a chair...
