AT THE HOSPITAL:
Doctor Eve Russell is on the phone with an insurance company. A nurse brings in a stack of files that the Doctor has to review. Eve wonders when she has time to see patients any more. Looking through her desk, Eve finds the cassette tape of Sheridan Crane's hypnosis session. Eve knows she has to get rid of the tape so she tries to erase it but the tape will not erase. The nurse returns and tells Eve that Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald called and was worried about Sheridan. Eve has to go check on Sheridan. She takes the tape and locks it in her desk drawer. Just before Eve returns to her office, someone walks in and unlocks the desk drawer. They remove the tape and listen to Sheridan's confession of killing Martin Fitzgerald. They are about to take the tape but Eve is headed towards her office...

AT THE COTTAGE:
Luis and Sheridan are elated to be together. They pledge their love to each other forever and they kiss. Sheridan can't imagine how every thing has worked out for her and Luis. Sheridan is very happy Luis has gotten over his anger and hate for Ethan. Luis tells Sheridan that things will only be getting better from now on. Luis tells Sheridan he is worried, as she was dizzy earlier. Sheridan says she is feeling fine and clothing starts to come off. Sheridan almost faints again and she tells Luis it is because he takes her breath away. When they are in bed, they talk about how they have come a long way with each other. They call it a miracle. Sheridan was always scared Luis would hate her as she thought she was the one who killed his father. She thinks about how close she came to loosing him if she indeed was the one who murdered his father. A knock suddenly comes to the door again. As always, Luis wants to ignore it but they hear it is Eve. Luis is the one who called Eve, as he was worried about Sheridan's dizzy spells. Luis answers the door and tells Eve about Sheridan's dizzy spells. Eve says Sheridan is very weak and she is going to have to take things slowly or Eve will readmit her to the hospital. Eve stresses to Luis the fact that Sheridan has to follow the doctor's orders very strictly. Sheridan must be kept calm, stay quiet and get lots of rest. There is to be no strenuous activity of any kind ... in other words - NO SEX! Sheridan says she will follow the doctor's orders as they have a lifetime ahead of them. Sheridan thanks Eve for the hypnosis that stopped the nightmares she was having for years. Eve suddenly remembers the tape she locked in her desk drawer at the hospital and she has to leave - suddenly! Luis and Sheridan say they have waited so long to be together. Luis tells her until Eve gives them the go ahead, they are going to have to cool it. Luis says love and romance is more important to him than sex is. They kiss and Luis reminds Sheridan of the Doctor's orders!

AT THE CRANE MANSION:
Rebecca is trying to get the disk out of Theresa's laptop computer. Theresa and Ethan return from visiting Sheridan and Luis at the cottage. They embarrass and kiss. Gwen is encouraging her mother to hurry and get the disk. Ivy is on the phone and she asks Gwen if she will help Pilar serve the tea. This request really makes Gwen angry. Rebecca finally grabs the disk but not before she broke a nail. Ethan enters and he asks what is going on? Rebecca and Gwen look nervous. Ethan asks his mother why Pilar is serving the tea. Pilar is not a maid but the head of the household. Ethan tells Pilar she will not be serving any one when he and Theresa are married. Pilar tells him she will continue working. Rebecca lashes out with a malicious statement. She wonders if Luis will also stay at home when he marries Sheridan. This outrages Ethan, and he lashes out at Rebecca. He tells her there is absolutely no need for that type of behavior. Rebecca explains that some people will simply believe Pilar has set up her children to inherit the Crane fortune. Ethan tells her that is ridiculous and there is no proof of such a thing. Rebecca and Gwen say they have to leave as they have to take care of many things. They have a wedding gown to pack up, wedding gifts to return, a caterer to pay etc... They can't possibly stay for tea. Ethan apologizes to Gwen and tells her if there is anything he can do to help just let him know. Gwen tells Ethan there is one thing he can do for her and asks her old flame to kiss her good-bye as friends. Theresa says it is all right and Gwen locks her lips on Ethan. Gwen says she is sorry for carrying the kiss a bit too far but she needed closure on the relationship. She realizes nothing can keep Theresa and Ethan apart and she wishes them well. With a smug look on their faces, Rebecca and Gwen leave the mansion. Ethan tells Theresa that the kiss did not mean anything to him and they share a kiss. Ivy finds it very strange that Rebecca left the mansion without causing any kind of a fuss. She has known Rebecca all her life and that is not like her to give up so easily. Ethan asks his mother for a photo album, so he can show Theresa a picture of his grandfather planting some trees by the cottage. While Ivy and Ethan go get the photo album, Pilar asks Theresa if she is upset. Pilar tells Theresa she does not trust Rebecca. She found Rebecca's tone very taunting and it makes Pilar think Rebecca has something on her. Pilar wants Theresa to erase the secret file about Ethan's parentage on the laptop. Outside the mansion, Rebecca takes the disk and tells Gwen they are going to go home and print the file. Ethan, Ivy and Theresa's lives will all be ruined. Theresa erased every bit of information she had on Ethan's birth on her laptop. Ivy tells Ethan she is happy he is marrying someone he truly loves. Ethan tells his mother he would marry Theresa with or without Alistair and Julian's blessings. Ivy is proud that Ethan is his own man. She is still puzzled over Rebecca's attitude however. Rebecca never gives any thing up with out a fight. Ivy tells Ethan there is nothing Rebecca can do to him or Theresa. Rebecca and Gwen have printed off a copy of Ivy's letter to Sam Bennett. They now have every thing they need to get what they want. They have their plans all mapped out. They will come to rule the Crane Empire and will destroy Theresa in the process.

Kay tells Hecuba she does not want Charity hurt. Hecuba has a flame from a candle going to Charity's room to crush her. Miguel asks Charity to rest but Charity tells him she wants some answers. Suddenly, Charity can not breathe. Miguel opens the windows to get some fresh air in the room. The flame returns to Hecuba's candle and this makes Hecuba extremely angry. Charity tells Miguel she is all right but she does not know what has happened. Miguel promises Charity he will take care of her and let nothing bad happen to her. Charity can not shake the feeling that evil is at work. Hecuba explains to Kay that Charity and Miguel's goodness and love created a shield around them so Hecuba's powers can not touch Charity. Hecuba is not about to give up. She has to get Miguel away from Charity. Kay tells Hecuba she will not help her get Miguel away from Charity, as she does not want Charity to die. Hecuba tells her she has to do what she says or she will never ever get her soul returned. Hecuba opens the door for Kay and she is off to see Miguel. Kay asks Miguel if they can talk but Miguel tells Kay he does not want to leave Charity's side. Hecuba wants him to leave the bedroom with Kay. Miguel agrees to leave the room but insists he stay close to Charity's bedroom door. Miguel knows Kay wants to talk about what Charity said earlier about Kay knowing what is going on.
