TABITHA / TIMMY:
Tabitha is hoping they will be able to survive what ever Hecuba can
throw at Harmony this New Year's Eve. Tabitha knows something evil is
in the air and has to find out what it is so she can find out what her
and Timmy are up against. They leave their house to go spy on the
Bennetts.
AT THE HOSPITAL:
Luis and Ethan are talking. Ethan is grateful that Luis has given him
and Theresa his blessing, so they can be married. Ethan promises Luis
he will not let any thing happen to Theresa. Luis finds this noble but
knows Julian and Alistair will never welcome Theresa into the family.
Sheridan agrees that her father and brother will try to break up Ethan
and Theresa as well as her and Luis. Luis and Ethan start arguing about
the Crane's again but Sheridan tells her two most favorite men in the
world she wants 2001 to start on a happy note. Pilar and Theresa are
talking in the hall. Pilar questions Theresa about her laptop
computer. Theresa remembers scanning Ivy's secret papers into the
computer, that show who Ethan's real father is. Pilar wants to know why
she scanned those papers in her laptop. She asks Theresa if any one
found the file in her laptop, what would they find? Theresa tells her
mother the truth, but reassures her that the laptop is tucked away in
Ivy's bedroom. Pilar tells Theresa she has to destroy the file as soon
as possible. Ethan wants to get going as soon as possible, so they can
start their New Year's Eve celebrations. Theresa does not want to go to
the mansion as she does not feel comfortable and has nothing to wear.
Ethan fixes that problem. He has a choice of gowns for Theresa and
Pilar to wear at the party. Ethan wants to enter the party with two
beautiful women on each arm. A nurse enters Sheridan's room, and tells
her she is free to go home. Sheridan is all excited, and can not wait
until she returns to her cottage. Luis wonders why she does not want to
spend the night at the mansion with her family, but Sheridan tells him
she only wants to be with him. All Sheridan ever wanted was to sit on
the couch with Luis, drink a toast to a Happy New Year and to a great
life. They snuggle as the fire works go off.
AT THE MANSION:
Gwen wants to talk to Ivy, but Ivy is wondering where Rebecca is. Gwen
is about to open her soul to Ivy when her cell phone rings. It is
Rebecca calling from Ivy's bedroom. She asks Gwen to stall Ivy for a
few more minutes. She thinks she has found the proof she needs showing
Ethan is not a Crane. Gwen tells Ivy she is stressed out, and really
needs to talk to her. Ivy tells Gwen she can not afford the time to
chat today, but will make time tomorrow to talk to Gwen for as long as
she may wish. Ivy wants to get ready for the party that Ethan is
holding. Ivy leaves to go get dressed. Before she gets to her bedroom
door, Ivy trips and drops a parcel she is carrying. Rebecca hears and
hides under the bed! Gwen hears Ethan arriving. She has to get out of
the mansion but only has time to hide behind the Christmas tree. Ethan
wants Pilar to relax as she is still acting like the housekeeper. Pilar
tells Theresa to go and erase the secret file about Ethan she has on her
laptop . Ethan will not allow Theresa to work, and also wants her to
relax as well. Gwen hopes Rebecca has found what she is looking for.
Julian comes downstairs and makes the atmosphere rather uncomfortable
for everyone. Ethan talks to his father and demands Julian not to
disrespect Theresa or his future mother in law. Rebecca is hiding under
the bed, and she is dying to get back to the computer. When Ivy goes to
the closet, Rebecca is hoping to get the laptop and make a run for it.
Ivy is too fast however, and catches Rebecca in her room. She demands
an explanation and Rebecca tells her she wanted to wish her a Happy New
Year. Rebecca has come to her senses and has realized she has to accept
things the way they are. Rebecca wants to put all the unpleasantness
behind them. Ivy is ready for the party so she asks Rebecca to leave
with her. Rebecca says she will take the back stairs. Before she
leaves, Ivy tells Rebecca she can sleep with her husband all she wants
but Ivy is the Mrs. Crane and she will never give up that title.
Rebecca pretends to leave but returns to Ivy's room. She has to get the
proof she needs to destroy Ivy. Ivy enters the party. Ivy tells Pilar
she looks stunning. Pilar tells Ivy she is sure Alistair will find a
way to keep Theresa out of the Crane family. Alistair calls and wants
to speak to Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. He asks her if she is wearing the
engagement ring Ethan has given her and wants to know just because she
has a ring on her fingers, if she thinks she is entitled to all the
perks of being a Crane. Ethan is angry and tells his grandfather to
wait but Alistair tells Ethan to wait. He welcomes Theresa to the
family. Julian is wondering what her father is up to. Gwen is watching
and is terribly jealous. She thinks it should be her in the mansion and
not Theresa. Ethan has something he wants to show everyone. They go
outside and it is a beautiful display of fireworks he has arranged for
Theresa. Theresa vows no one will ever come between them. Rebecca has
found the secret file in the computer. Julian questions his father and
Alistair tells Julian he will make sure the Lopez-Fitzgerald's are not a
thorn in his side very much longer. Gwen wonders how it came to be that
she is standing alone on New Year's Eve watching the man she loves with
another woman. Rebecca thinks that now she is armed with the
information she needs, she will get everything she has ever wanted.

Kay wants to see Hecuba and she comes to her. Hecuba vows she is going
to destroy Charity. TC and Eve arrive at the Bennett house for a New
Year's Eve party. Eve and TC, as well as Sam and Grace all look at the
sky and wonder what is going on. It is suppose to be a beautiful night,
but the sky suddenly looks very unsettled. A raven has come to the
Bennett's living room window and seems to be staring at Charity.
Charity has a terrible feeling that everyone is in danger, and this will
be the worse New Year's Eve ever. Grace shares this horrid feeling with
Charity. On the Internet, Jessica looks up everyone's horoscopes. The
horoscopes predict that a battle over good and evil will take place in
the town of Harmony in the coming year. A raven flies through the
Bennett living room window and dies. Tabitha sees this as a sign that
death is coming. Hecuba laughs and sends more ravens to Harmony.

herself. Ravens are entering the Bennett house. They are coming in via

Tabitha is chasing him. They are full of ravens. Tabitha kills the
birds that are on Timmy. Tabitha watches what is going on at the
Bennett house from her window. Hecuba keeps sending more birds. Sam
tells every one to stay calm and to get down and cover their heads.
Suddenly, everything seems to stop. Sam lights a candle but the birds
start attacking again. Tabitha is sure when Hecuba is through with
Charity, it will be much worse than anything they have ever seen
before. Charity sees an image of Hecuba and she tells her she will
destroy her. Charity yells out in fear...
TABITHA / TIMMY:
Timmy is outside building a scarecrow. He does not want a repeat after
the events of last evening, where ravens came from out of no where.
Tabitha tells Timmy that birds are just the beginning; Hecuba has only
started playing havoc with Harmony, and she is more than capable of
wiping the town off the face of the earth. Timmy is scared and he does
not want to hear any more. Timmy wants his princess to cash the check
that Harper-Collins gave her for her book, and get the heck out of
Harmony. Tabitha likes the idea, but she knows that Hecuba will do them
in on the spot and it will not matter where they are. Tabitha wants to
go to the Bennett's to find out what happened and what is going on in
Hecuba's mind. Timmy does not want to go, but Tabitha tells him they
have to if they want to see what Hecuba is up to.
AT THE LOPEZ-FITZGERALD HOUSE:
Theresa is admiring the engagement ring Ethan gave her. Pilar brings in
some coffee, and sees that Theresa is very excited about becoming rich
and famous. Theresa is play acting, and Pilar thinks she is only
playing fantasy games. Pilar is very worried about Theresa's laptop
being in Ivy's bedroom. Theresa tries to convince Pilar that nothing
bad will ever happen to her, Pilar or Ethan again. Suddenly, Ethan
knocks at the door. He brought a rose for Theresa. Theresa loves roses
and Ethan knowing her reaction knew one rose would not be enough for his
love. The living room is suddenly full of roses, brought in by delivery
men. Ethan says he arranged for all the roses, as he loves Theresa so
much. Ethan and Theresa are talking about a wedding date, and he wants
to know when they should get married. Theresa tells Ethan they should
not wait until late summer, but they should get married today. Ethan
likes this idea and is going to go home and get his birth certificate.
He wants to ask Julian to be his best man. Theresa thinks that is a
nice idea. After Ethan leaves, Theresa kisses her mother and tells her
she is really going to become Mrs. Ethan Crane. Theresa wishes her
mother could be happy for her. Pilar tells her daughter she will never
be accepted into the Crane family. She does not doubt Ivy's well
wishes, but she does not trust Mr. Alistair or Julian. Theresa tells
her mother she has had so much personal bad luck, she does not think it
is possible that good things can happen to her daughter. Theresa looks
for a dress in a catalogue for her wedding. Theresa wishes she had her
laptop with her so she could search the internet for a wedding dress.
It would be so much easier on such little time. Pilar is nervous about
the laptop being in Ivy's bedroom. Theresa tells her mother to stop
worrying. She will go to the Crane mansion and get the laptop herself.
AT REBECCA & GWEN'S HOUSE:
Rebecca enters Gwen's bedroom, wishing her daughter sweet dreams.

last night, all their dreams will finally come true. Ivy has no idea
her old love affair with Sam Bennett will play havoc with Ethan's
wedding plans. Gwen wakes up and complains about a sore neck. When

the window, leaving Rebecca stuck outside. Gwen found her mother on the
ledge. Rebecca wanted Gwen to help her get down but Rebecca falls off
the roof and lands on Gwen. Gwen is tired and wants to give up on
Ethan. Rebecca tells Gwen all the pain will soon be worth it. Gwen
just does not care what information her mother has on Ivy or Ethan. She
is tired and does not want to add any more hurt or humiliation on her
plate. Ethan has made his decision and Gwen does not want to help
Rebecca. Rebecca tells Gwen she is crazy. She will end up marrying
Julian. In order for her plan to work however, Rebecca has to return to
Ivy's bedroom and copy the file on the laptop. She feels this
information will blow Ivy Crane out of the mansion for good.
AT THE CRANE MANSION:
Ivy is reading the morning newspaper in bed, and sees the headlines
about the bird attack on the Bennett house. Ivy is worried about Sam.
She gets dressed and has to go check to make sure Sam is all right.
Later when Ivy has returned home, Ethan enters his mother's room. She
wishes her son a Happy New Year. Ethan sees Theresa's laptop and tells
his mother he feels he really owes a lot to that computer. Had his
mother not hired Theresa and given her the computer, he would never have
met her and fallen in love with her. Ethan asks his mother for all the
documents including his birth certificate so he can get a marriage
license. When Ivy gives Ethan his birth certificate, Ethan sees some
irregularity on it and asks his mother about it.
AT THE BENNETT HOUSE:
A local television crew is at the Bennett house, and they are doing a
live story about the bird attack. Sam describes the attack as
unbelievable. In her room, Kay says the attack was not her fault but
Hecuba pops in and says it was indeed her fault. Kay was the one who
gave Hecuba pieces of Charity's hair and fingernail clippings. Kay
tells Hecuba she is sick. Hecuba tells her to stop wining. What
happened last night was only a trial run for what she has in store for
Charity. Miguel enters Charity's room. Charity is sleeping and she is
dreaming of the attack. Charity relives seeing the monster she saw last
night. Miguel hears Charity talking of evil. The reporter finishes his
report and the clean up in the Bennett house continues. Eve does not
believe what happened. Grace somehow feels they were targeted for the
attack. Hecuba asks Kay to watch Charity to find out how she reacts to
the attack. Kay thinks Hecuba is scared of Charity. Hecuba becomes
highly irritated and tells Kay to do as she says or she will never get
her soul back. Miguel tells Charity to wake up, she is only dreaming.
Charity wakes and screams out Hecuba's name. TC can not believe what
went down last night. Sam is scared that Grace is going to use this
attack and go over board the way she has a tendency to do. He remembers
how Grace reacted after she said she was visited by the angel girl.
Miguel tells Charity she was having a nightmare. Charity describes the
ghoulish figure she saw last night, and again in her dream. Charity
knows that what she saw was real and not a dream. Miguel asks Charity
who Hecuba is, saying that is the name she screamed when she woke up.
Kay enters Charity's room to check on her, and Charity asks her cousin
who Hecuba is. Charity wants Kay to tell them about Hecuba. Naturally,
Kay pleads innocence. Again Charity wants to know what Kay is doing
with Hecuba. Charity can see Hecuba in Kay! Miguel tells Charity to
let it go. Kay leaves and Charity tells Miguel she loves him and is
glad he is there for her. Hecuba returns and tells Kay she did a good
job with Charity. Hecuba is scared that Charity's powers are starting
to develop. Hecuba tells Kay she will get her soul back only after they
have fun - good evil fun. Eve wants to know why Tabitha did not hear
anything from the attack last night as she only lives next door.
Jessica is telling Tabitha about reading the horoscopes last night on
the Internet. Harmony was targeted in the horoscopes saying the battle
over good and evil was going to take place and Harmony could be blown
off the face of the earth. Grace tells Jessica not to scare Tabitha but
Tabitha tells Timmy Jessica is right on the money. Timmy is confused
and asks Tabitha what side they are on. Tabitha doesn't really know, as
they are dead meat no matter what they do. Ivy arrives at the Bennett
house and she tells Sam she was scared for him. She can not get him out
of her minds no matter what she does. Sam tells Ivy to get out but she
kisses him passionately. Grace walks in the kitchen and wants to know
what is going on. Ivy tells Grace she tripped on something and Sam
caught her. Sam asks Ivy to go but Grace asks her to stay and talk.
Ivy and Grace talk about the angel girl giving Grave a warning about
Sam's son. Grace truly feels her family is under a dark cloud. Grace
returns to help with the clean up and Sam tells Ivy to leave. He
believes she is up to her old tricks again about Ethan being their love
child. Ivy leaves but she wonders if Grace's premonitions are true.
Perhaps Ethan is in some kind of real danger. Sam is talking to TC and
Eve while Tabitha over hears the conversation about Ivy Crane. Miguel
tells Grace about Charity's nightmare. Tabitha hopes that Grace will
still love Sam when she finds out that Ethan is Sam's son. Hecuba sees
everything that is going on in her mirror. She stirs her cauldron and
the contents in the pot turn red. Sam tells every one to stick together
but as he is talking, blood comes through the walls. Everyone sees the
blood and Hecuba tells Kay to take a look but especially in her own
room. Tabitha tells Timmy that bleeding walls mean death for all who
reside within...
AT SHERIDAN'S COTTAGE:
Luis brings Sheridan a breakfast tray. He kept the breakfast simple,
not wanting to have a repeat of the famous eggs benedict episode he had
once prepared for her. Sheridan ate every bite. She looks at the time,
and thinks she slept late. She wonders why Luis is not at work, and he
tells her he took some sick leave. He will not return to work until he
is sure she is fully recovered. Sheridan is very happy and Luis is
elated as well. He can not keep his eyes off of her. Luis goes to take
a shower, and when he is finished, he enters Sheridan's bedroom saying
he forgot his clothes in the living room. He is full of apologies.
Sheridan remembered how long it took for her to realize and admit that
she loved Luis. Luis asks if she is o.k., as she seems miles away. She
tells him she was remembering the night that they "almost ..." Luis was
thinking of that same night. Sheridan goes to take a shower. Before
she enters the bathroom, she keeps staring at Luis. Luis made the bed
and cleaned up the room, while Sheridan was in the shower. Suddenly,
Sheridan yells out and Luis runs in the bathroom to make sure she is all
right. Sheridan is standing there naked! Luis told her he thought he
heard something break and wanted to make sure she was o.k. He picks
Sheridan up and carries her to bed. He wants to call Eve so she can
check Sheridan. Luis feels she is trying to do too much. As he lays
her down, they start to kiss.
THERESA & PILAR:
Theresa and her mother are on their way to work. Theresa is telling
Pilar not to worry so much. She is sure no one will look at her files
on her laptop computer. Theresa admits that she scanned the documents
into the laptop because she was upset with Ethan at the time. Pilar
reminds her she had no right to see the personal documents. They were
Ivy Crane's own business. If any one ever finds the file on the laptop,
there are many lives that will be destroyed. When they arrive at the
Crane mansion, Pilar wants Theresa to go get the laptop and erase the
file immediately.
REBECCA AND GWEN:
Gwen wants to know if her mother is sure she has the proof Ethan is not
a Crane. Rebecca says she has the proof, and will make a copy of it on
a disk when they go to the Crane mansion. She hopes Julian Crane will
throw Ivy and Ethan out of the mansion. She wants Julian to divorce Ivy
and marry her. She thinks Julian is a one big push over, and she wants
to control him. Rebecca suspects Theresa will dump Ethan when she finds
out that Ethan is not rich. Rebecca says she and Gwen will get the men
they love and the Crane fortune they deserve. Gwen admits she is not
ready to give up on Ethan. She has loved him since she was a little
girl. She thinks her mother's plan is a bad risk. Rebecca is thankful
she was not caught last night trying to find the documents on Ivy's
laptop. Gwen tells her mother Ivy does not own a laptop. The computer
belongs to Theresa. Rebecca is now aware that Theresa knows the truth
about Ethan. They wonder why Theresa has kept it a secret. Rebecca
assumes Pilar gave the information to her daughter, wanting Theresa to
use it as leverage at a later date. Gwen and Rebecca want to blow Ivy,
Theresa, Pilar and Ethan out of the water. Theresa knows Ethan is not a
Crane and she does not care. Rebecca and Gwen assume Theresa wants
Ethan to think he is a Crane so they can get all the Crane money before
they tell him the truth about his real parentage. Rebecca and Gwen are
on their way to the Crane mansion. They are out to get revenge.
AT THE CRANE MANSION:
Ethan is with his mother. He notices something irregular on his birth
certificate and asks Ivy how she could keep the truth of his birth from
him for all these years? Ivy is confused, and Ethan tells his mother
his certificate shows he was ten pounds when he was born. He wants to
know why Ivy always said his was an easy birth when obviously it
wasn't? Ivy tells Ethan once she held him in her arms after he was
born; he was her greatest joy and continues to be so to this day. Ethan
thanks his mother for always being so supportive. He realizes his
parents are currently having problems, but he was always told he was
conceived in love. Ivy remembers her wedding night and making love to
Sam Bennett. She tells Ethan he was conceived in the greatest of love.
Ivy has always told Ethan to be true to himself, and Ethan knows he can
count on his mother for support in his marriage to Theresa. Ethan knows
he can trust Theresa. Theresa and Pilar enter. Ivy hugs Theresa and
asks to see her engagement ring. Ivy explains to Theresa that Ethan's
happiness is the most important thing to her and she tells her to watch
out for Rebecca and Gwen. She does not trust them. No sooner said,
Rebecca and Gwen enter the Crane mansion! They have come to offer
congratulations and best wishes to Ethan and Theresa. Rebecca tells
everyone she does not carry a grudge. Pilar tells Ivy they are up to
something. Ivy doesn't know how to react to them but Pilar tells Ivy
she is sure they are up to something. Gwen gives Theresa the Crane
jewels and places them around her neck. Ethan tells Gwen that means a
lot to him. Pilar does not think Rebecca and Gwen are on the up and
up. Theresa asks her mother what she thinks Rebecca and Gwen can do.
Pilar is not sure. Rebecca excuses herself, saying she is going to go
freshen up. She takes a disk out of her purse and while she is on her
way to Ivy's bedroom, Rebecca hopes everyone is enjoying the smug
happiness they are now feeling. It will soon be wiped off their faces.
Gwen hopes her mother hurries as she too wants to wipe the smile off
Theresa's face. Rebecca is in Ivy's room and opens the laptop. The
secret is about to be exposed.
AT THE BENNETT HOUSE:
Blood is streaming down the walls in the Bennett house. Hecuba laughs
as she watches from her mirror. No one has a clue where the blood is
coming from. Tabitha is certain pure evil has come to the Bennett
household. Blood is coming through all the walls in the living room.
Charity puts her hands on the wall and screams it is real blood coming
form the walls. The walls are bleeding! Everyone seems to agree with
her. Grace wants to know what is going on. First they had the dark
clouds come to them followed but the bird attack and now their walls are
bleeding. Everyone looks scared. Tabitha tells Timmy evil has come to
the household. Kay hates Hecuba for what she is doing to her family.
Eve wants to run a test to see if it is real blood coming from the
walls. Tabitha tells Timmy things are going to get much worse. Sam
seems to think it could be old paint coming through the walls. TC wants
to get rags and start cleaning up the mess. Eve sees Grace is shaking
and Grace tells Eve she has a bad feeling about all of this. The angel
girl told her evil was coming, and she thinks it has arrived. Kay
leaves to return to her bedroom. Tabitha tells Timmy Kay is now under
the total control of Hecuba. Charity tells Miguel that it is real blood
coming through the walls and not paint like Sam seems to think it is.
Charity feels things are going to get a lot worse. Sam is confused. He
and TC are washing the walls but the stuff is still coming through.
Timmy is terrified and he wants to go home. Tabitha tells him they are
going to have to go home so they can prepare for the next event. Grace
and Eve want a cup of tea and Grace confirms her suspicions. She does
not think it is old paint coming through the walls. Kay summons Hecuba
and asks her what she is doing to her family. Hecuba tells Kay it is
all part of her plan to get rid of Charity. Kay wants to return to
normal. She begs Hecuba to please not do harm to her family. Kay does
not want Hecuba to tell her what is going to happen next to her family.
Eve is leaving for the hospital, taking a sample of the blood with her
to be tested at the lab. TC leaves with her. Charity is staring at the
walls. Sam asks Charity to join him and Grace in the kitchen. They
have to talk about the situation. Tabitha is looking through the
windows. She wants to see what is going to happen next in the Bennett
house. Charity tells herself she has to stay positive through this bad
time. She tells herself it could be as Miguel thinks it is; nothing
but a coincidence. Suddenly, a message is written in blood on the
wall. The message states that everyone in the house is doomed. Charity
screams out in panic...
AT THE BENNETT HOUSE:
Charity sees the written message "you are all doomed" written in blood
on the wall. She also sees the word death written on the same wall.
She yells and everyone comes running out of the kitchen to see what is
the matter. Watching from outside, Tabitha tells Timmy it is the
beginning of the end for everyone in Harmony. Kay heard Charity's
scream and asks Hecuba what she did to her cousin. Kay does not want
Charity hurt, she just does not want her to be with Miguel. Kay also
tells Hecuba she does not want Miguel any more. The price is not worth
all the pain that her family is going through. Charity tells everyone
she saw the word death written on the wall. Sam tells her she only
imagined it. Tabitha knows Hecuba is toying with Charity. Reese tells
everyone he can explain everything that that has happened. Sam tells
Charity he too has an explanation. He says the word death must have
been on Charity's mind so she willed herself to see it, the way people
can see images in clouds. Reese tells Sam he is wrong, and begins to
tell the story of two witches who were in a battle royal hundreds of
years ago in England. Reese reads from the Internet, and according to
Tabitha he is describing the events that took place event to event.
Tabitha curses the Internet! Sam asks Reese what he is looking at and
Reese tells the police chief he is reading from the Internet and the
story is fact. It did happen. Grace and Charity both think the story
sounds very familiar to them. Tabitha remembers the events that took
place like it was yesterday. She tells Timmy everything that happened.
Tabitha unleashed her full powers on Hecuba. The fight began. Grace
and Charity's ancestors were present and were watching the events.
Tabitha now feels useless, as she has no powers and she done not know
what to expect from Hecuba. Reese continues to relate the story, and
Kay wants more information. She asks questions about the appearance of
the witches. Reese says there were no pictures and everyone living in
the town died of the plague. The legend has it the two witches still
live there. Tabitha laughs at that statement, and she remembers the
citizens of the village coming to get the two witches to burn them at
the stake. Tabitha hid and along with the Standish women and Hecuba
they fled to the United States. They were the ones who founded the
settlement of Harmony. Tabitha knows Hecuba hates her, and without her
powers, everyone is doomed in Harmony. Hecuba drops in on Tabitha and
Timmy. Tabitha asks Hecuba to get over any grudges she may hold. Grace
does not think what Reese is reading is a fairy tale. Charity stares at
Kay, and Kay wants to know why she is staring at her. Charity tells her
cousin she should be nervous. Charity thinks Kay knows something about
everything that is going on. Grace defuses the situation saying
everyone is over tired. Hecuba leaves Tabitha and Timmy. Timmy is
scared. He feels he is too young to die. Timmy hopes Tabitha's book
being published by Harper-Collins will allow the truth to come out, and
all the trouble they find themselves in will be over. Tabitha thinks
the book will mean her burning at the steak once again.
AT SHERIDAN'S COTTAGE:

she feels at this moment? Luis tells her he has never felt this way
before. He is scared if he takes his eyes off of her, he is going to
loose her for good. Luis blames himself for getting involved, for
wanting Sheridan so much he knows he can not live his life with out
her. Sheridan tells Luis she feels strong because of him. She begins
to unbutton his shirt. Luis asks her if she is sure she is ready to

than sure. They kiss passionately. Suddenly, a knock comes to the
door. It is Ethan and Theresa. Luis tells Sheridan they have waited a
long time to make love, so they can wait a bit longer and they get up to

marrying Ethan because of his money. After all. the jewels she is
wearing cost a fortune. Theresa tells Luis she is marrying Ethan only
for love. Sheridan and Theresa continue to talk. Theresa tells
Sheridan her brother was like a lost puppy when Sheridan was "dead".
Sheridan tells Theresa she is going to spend the rest of her life
telling Luis ever day how much she loves him. Luis explains to Ethan
that he has always been over protective of his sister. Luis is worried
as his sister really does not know the ways of the world yet. Ethan
promises Luis he will never let any thing happen to Theresa. He truly
loves her. Sheridan tells everyone about the first time she met Luis
and Ethan recounts his first meeting with Theresa. Theresa tells them
fate has played a hand at bringing them all together. Ethan and Theresa

all their troubles and continue where they left off before they were
interrupted...
AT THE CRANE MANSION:
Gwen is hoping her mother will hurry up and copy the information about
Ethan's parentage on the hard disk. Pilar feels Rebecca is up to
something. As she is about to insert the disk in the laptop, Rebecca
knows Ivy's day of reckoning is soon going to arrive. She downloads the
file and she is ready to tear Ethan and Theresa apart. Ivy thinks Pilar
is manufacturing problems where Rebecca is concerned. Pilar is worried
Rebecca will discover Ethan is not a Crane. Ivy knows this can not
happen as all the evidence has been destroyed. Pilar talks to Theresa.
She wants her to go get the laptop out of Ivy's bedroom. Theresa does
not want to leave Ethan's side for one minute, so she tells Pilar she
will get the computer later. Pilar goes upstairs and she passes Julian
on the steps. Julian is all smiles and waves for Gwen when he enter the
living room. Ethan asks his father to be his best man at his wedding.
Ethan tells his father he wants to get married right away. Gwen screams
out in protest. Pilar finds Rebecca in Ivy's room. She tells Pilar she
came upstairs for a dab of perfume. Rebecca tells Pilar she probably
does not know what it feels like to wear perfume, as all she could
probably afford is a roll on deodorant. Pilar tells Rebecca she was
going to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe that she was
wrong about her, but she can see she was wrong. Rebecca's vicious ways
always come out. Pilar tells Rebecca she can have any room in the east
wing of the mansion that she wants but Ivy's room is off limits.
Rebecca asks Pilar to leave so she can pick out some perfume. On her
way out, Pilar sees Theresa's laptop. Pilar tells Rebecca it is
Theresa's computer and she will take it to her. Pilar leaves with the
laptop and Rebecca's disk is still in the computer. Rebecca dams
Pilar! Julian takes an early morning drink. Ivy reminds Julian she
agreed to help keep Sheridan and Luis apart if Alistair and Julian will
