Luis says, "Sheridan killed my father, that's the first time I've said it out loud, now I don't have to wonder anymore!" Hank tells him how sorry he feels for him. Luis is concerned about how Sheridan is handling this! He says, "Damn Julian, he could have told my Mama this years ago and saved her so much agony, I can't believe this is happening!" Eve tries to console Sheridan's uncontrollable weeping.

The Bennett House:
Kay and Simone are talking as they look at Miguel sitting alone on the swing. Kay tells Simone that she has to get Miguel away from Charity, that she can get him to not be with her cousin if she could only get him alone. What they do not know is that the evil Charity is planning to kill Miguel. The evil Charity is telling Tabitha and Timmy that if they follow what she says, Miguel will be dead by midnight, and they do not have to worry about Kay getting in the way. Tabitha and Timmy eagerly ask what they need to do to help kill Miguel. She tells them to gather twigs. While she is talking to Tabitha and Timmy, she calls over to Miguel to keep the swing warm for her, that she will be right over. But Kay and Simone have other plans. Kay tells Simone that she is going to go sit on Miguel's lap while he is swinging, but before she gets a chance to go, Reese comes over with a surprise --- a bug. Kay screams but to get rid of him she tells him to go catch her some more. She then tells Simone that she hates bugs, especially snakes. She then goes to Miguel, but before she gets to him, Charity comes and talks to him. She tells him that she was out by the shed looking for the lanterns but it was too dark and creepy and she asks him if he could go get them for her. He tells her yes. As he gets to the shed, Tabitha and Timmy are running out, having placed the twigs all around the shed, just as the evil Charity had asked. Miguel goes into the shed and begins looking for the lanterns. Evil charity is looking through the window, slowly placing twigs into a hole in the wall. What Miguel does not know is that the twigs are meant to kill him by turning into snakes. Kay knows nothing of this also and tells Simone that she is going to go help Miguel out and maybe seduce him while she is there. She goes into the shed and gets Miguel to take off his shirt, he is still searching, she is still trying to seduce him and Charity is still putting twigs into the hole. The shed is crawling with poisonous snakes to kill Miguel and since Kay did not head their warning, she also will be dead. Tabitha and Timmy begin to help Charity fill the shed with snakes.

Sheridan's Cottage:
Julian is still handcuffed to the rail and Sheridan is telling Luis that he has to arrest her. He stares at her while tears are streaming down her face. She repeatedly tells him to arrest her. He goes to get the handcuffs and comes over to place them on her. He then realizes that Hank was right, that he was too emotional to deal with the case. Julian chimes in with "I told you so" and this infuriates Luis. He rushes over to Julian and threatens to rip off his arm and gag him with it. Sheridan is still crying telling Luis that he has to arrest her. That she hurt his whole family. That Pilar was like a second mother to her and look how she repays her, by killing her husband. Eve tries to get Luis to not arrest Sheridan and Luis tells her that he has to unless there is a reason not too. Quickly Eve jumps in telling all of them that Sheridan didn't kill Martin Fitzgerald. That when Sheridan was under hypnosis she told her other things. Luis wants an explanation. Over in the corner, Julian knows that eve is lying, he just does not know why. Eve begins to tell them that Sheridan has always felt guilty about her mother's death, and Alistair has always made her feel like it was her fault. And the night that she said, she saw the bloody sheet was just a dream that she put with her mother's death. That she does remember them taking out the coffin, but her mother was in it, not Luis's dad. Sheridan takes this as the truth and starts to feel a whole lot better about the situation. Julian calls Alistair to tell him what happened, that his threats worked on Eve, that they just have to hope that Luis buys Eve's story. However, Luis does not buy it. He tells Eve that there is something wrong with her story, and he wants to know the real truth, that both he and Sheridan deserve to know the truth.

The Hospital:

They go into the room and Gwen apologizes for her mother being out of line. Ethan still tries to talk to the group. Ivy tells Rebecca that Theresa is not a scheming vixen trying to marry rich. Rebecca wants to settle it once and for all and she asks Theresa if Ethan loves her. Pilar tells them that Theresa isn't well enough to answer, that she needs her rest, but Theresa tells them that she wants to answer. She tells them that no, Ethan doesn't love me. That doesn't satisfy Rebecca, she tells Ethan that she wants to hear it from him. He begins to talk when Gwen's phone rings. She tells Ethan that she has to pick it up.
