At the mansion, Pilar and Miguel put Grace down to sleep in Ivy's room, and then Pilar orders Miguel to go out the backdoor and go straight home. Miguel thinks he should at least tell Theresa that he is leaving, but Pilar says that he can talk to her tomorrow. Miguel leaves, and Grace asks Pilar if something is going on at this party? Pilar tells her of course not, and tells her to just rest. Grace goes on and on about her pregnancy and how happy she is to be giving Sam a second son. Later, Grace begins looking through Ivy's photo album. Grace feels sorry for Ivy, who is still pining after her lost love, and she feels even sorrier for the man's wife. Grace thinks the only reason this man has lied to his wife about Ivy is because he must still love her. Pilar says that isn't possible, but Grace says there is no other explanation. Grace is so happy that she has an honest marriage, and she says that she blame that other woman if she never spoke to her husband again. Grace sees that Pilar is upset, and she thinks that it is because her husband is missing, so Grace apologizes. Grace thinks she should probably head home, and Pilar thinks that is a wonderful idea. Pilar says she'll have a car pull up, and she'll send Sam up here to get her. Pilar leaves, and Grace continues to look at the old photos. Grace then imagines that perhaps Ethan and Theresa will have a child soon, and their two children will grow up together. Suddenly, the little angel girl appears! The angel girl warns Grace that great evil is here, so she shouldn't doubt these feelings she is having. The angel warns Grace that evil is about to attack her and her family, so she must be stronger than she has ever been, otherwise her family will be torn apart.
Julian announces that Ethan is not his son, that he is not a Crane. On the phone, Sheridan and Luis ask Theresa what is going on, why would Julian say such a thing? Theresa tells them to just get over here and hurry, because Ethan will need them. Luis and Sheridan's love making is delayed as they get dressed to head over to the mansion. MEanwhile, everyone begins to react to the news. Sam actually feels bad for Ethan, but he's glad that he's off the hook. Sam reminds Eve that she looked at the birth records and told him it was impossible for him to be Ethan's father. Eve recalls the incident, and how Ivy blackmailed her into lying to Sam at the time. Ethan refuses to believe this and says it is a lie. Julian says it isn't, but Ethan says he is a Crane and nobody can change that. Theresa tries to calm Ethan down, but Ethan goes nuts and begins knocking things over. Ivy hears Ethan's rampage all the way from Julian's office, and she begins to cry. Ethan demands his "father" tell him why he is lying to him. Julian says he is not lying, and he must accept this. Ethan says he will never accept this! Chad feels bad for Ethan, and wishes he could do something for him. TC says that Ethan will need his friends. Chad never thought he and Ethan would share something, not knowing who their father was. However, Chad says that at least he has his mom to tell him who his father is. Sheridan and Luis arrive, and Sheridan asks Ethan if he is all right? Ethan says it is not true, it can't be. Sheridan asks Julian how he could lie like this? Julian says it is the truth, and tells Ethan to ask Ivy, who has rejoined the party. Ethan asks his mother to tell him the truth. Ivy remains silent, and Sheridan says it is obvious that Julian is just causing trouble. Julian calls his sister a bitch, which makes Luis angry. Luis sticks up for Sheridan and warns Julian not to say any bad about her again. Julian swears he is telling the truth, and he says they can ask Pilar because she knows everything Ivy knows. Ivy damns Julian for doing this. Ethan demands his mother tell him the truth, who is he! Ivy asks Ethan not to hate her because everything she did was out of love for him. Ethan realizes that it is true, he isn't a Crane. Ethan demands to know who his father is. At the same time, Sam begins to deny the fact that he could be Ethan's father, and tries to convince himself that Ivy was with someone else after him. Julian tells Ethan that if Ivy won't tell him who his father is, then he will. In fact, Julian decides to show Ethan who his father is, and he and Ivy wrestle over the tabloid, which Ivy is holding in her hands. Julian gets the tabloid away from Ivy, and tells her that it is time to pay! Pilar shows up and tries to convince Sam to go upstairs and take Grace home, but Sam says he wants to find out who Ethan's father is, and to be here for Ivy. Pilar tells Sam to take his wife away from here and this mansion now! Sam thinks Pilar is right, and that Grace should come first, so he walks towards the stairs. However, Julian orders him to stop and suggests he stay for this. Julian says he's been such a fool, he should have realized something was going on when he rescued Ivy all those times. Julian says he knows the truth, and now everyone else will too! Julian shows Sam the paper, and them everyone else, including Ethan.
At the Bennett's, Kay tells Jessica not to go into Charity's room because it took her so long to get Charity into bed and to sleep. Jessica agrees not to bother Charity, and decides to go downstairs and see what is on the TV. After Jessica leaves, Kay summons Hecuba and asks her what she is going to tell people when they realize Charity is missing. Hecuba says that people won't realize Charity is gone until tomorrow, and by then they can't pin anything on her. Kay then demands her soul back, but Hecuba tells Kay to get off her back about her soul! Hecuba tells Kay to go downstairs and drink the chocolate glop her sister made, and she will summon her when the spell to release her soul is ready. Kay tells Hecuba fine, but she not only wants her soul, she wants Miguel! After Kay leaves, HEcuba says that it will be a cold day in hell before that airhead gets her soul back! Later, Miguel shows up to check on Charity. Jessica tells him that she is upstairs asleep, but Kay tells him not to go in and see her because it took her forever to get her to sleep. Miguel thinks Kay is probably right, but he does insist that he stay the night so he can see her first thing in the morning. Miguel says that he has been getting strange feelings all night. Jessica thinks that Miguel and Charity must share a psychic connection do to how strong there love is. Kay says there is no connection, because Charity is upstairs sleeping peacefully. Jessica begins to realize that something isn't right, so she decides to go check on Charity. Jessica leaves, and Miguel sits next to Kay. He realizes she is cold, so he puts his hand around her shoulder and tries to warm her up. Miguel and Kay reminisce about old times and how they used to always sit on this couch and watch old movies. Kay wonders what happened to those good ole days. Miguel says that things changed once he hooked up with CHarity and she became involved with Reese. Kay says things are different now, but she wishes they had been very different. Miguel asks Kay what she means? Kay asks Miguel if he ever made a decision and then realized it was the wrong one? Miguel says he has, but he's always tried to fix his mistakes. Kay asks what he would do if he couldn't fix the mistake? Miguel says that he would just have to live with it. Kay thinks she is just going to have to live with what she has done, and make the best of things.
Upstairs, Hecuba celebrates her victory and plans to bring Harmony and the rest of the world to its knees. Hecuba looks into the closet and waves at Charity, who is screaming for help. Meanwhile, Jessica approaches Charity's room and decides to check on her because she doesn't believe a word Kay says lately. As Jessica begins to turn the doorknob, Hecuba realizes she is on the verge of being caught. Jessica screams, and the scream is heard downstairs. Miguel decides to go see what happened, and after he leaves, Hecuba appears to Kay. Hecuba tells Kay that her sister has opened the closet door, so she has probably been swallowed by hell as well.
Out West, Norma charges into the room wielding an axe. Tabitha tells Timmy to follow her lead, and then she screams and begins throwing her suitcases at Norma! TImmy does as Tabitha says, but he refuses to throw his mini-bar and MarTimmy ingredients at Norma. When Norma collapses, Timmy and Tabitha run for the car. It takes time for Tabitha to locate her keys, and when she finally does, she can't get the car to start! Tabitha makes Timmy get out and look at the car. Timmy manages to do something, which causes the car to start. Tabitha doesn't even wait for him to jump down and close the hood, she just takes off with the hood up and Timmy on the engine!

When Tabitha gets to the ticket counter and orders two tickets to Harmony, the agent holds up her copy of Hidden Passions and asks her if she is Tabitha Lennox? Tabitha says she isn't, and the woman believes her. Tabitha and Timmy get their tickets, and continue to avoid Norma, who seems to be walking around the airport with an axe and is not getting into trouble!
At the mansion, Julian shows everyone at the party the headline from the tabloid. Ivy screams, Ethan says this can't be, and Eve says the secret is finally out. Ethan refuses to believe Sam is his father because he hates the man. Sam tells Ivy to admit that this is a pathetic lie, but Ivy refuses. TC asks Sam if he's going to fall for this bull? Sam says of course not, and then he realizes that this accusation is going to kill Grace. Sam says that Grace is going to be so hurt to find out about him and Ivy. Meanwhile, Sheridan and Luis discuss what is going on. Sheridan says that Julian looks like a madman. Luis asks what about Alistair, does he know? Sheridan says he must, and that must be why he stopped his announcement earlier. Luis doesn't want to take away from the pain of her family, but he can't help but worry about the Bennett's as well. Sheridan understands because they are his friends. Luis doesn't even want to think what Sam will do if this is true. Luis then realizes that if this is true, and Julian and Alistair have lost Ethan, then they will start causing trouble for them. Sheridan swears that there is nothing they can do to break them up, and Luis thinks she is right. Elsewhere, Theresa swears to her mother that she never showed that letter to anyone. Pilar says this doesn't make sense, the only other person who knows is Eve. Theresa thinks perhaps Eve did this, but Pilar knows she didn't because she has her own reasons for keeping this a secret. Theresa wants to go to Ethan, but Pilar tells her no, Ethan needs to work it this out on his own. Pilar goes to Eve, and tells her that they must get Grace out of here because she can't find out about this. Eve says this could harm her baby, she can't be exposed to this situation. Pilar asks Eve to keep an eye on Theresa while she tries to get Grace out of this house. Meanwhile, Whitney tells Chad that this is all true, and Theresa has known about this. Chad doesn't know which will hurt Ethan more, the fact that a man he hates is his father, or that the woman he loved kept this from him. Whitney goes to see Theresa, who says that her mother warned her that secrets always come out. Theresa says she can't stand here and do nothing, she has to go to Ethan. Ethan announces to everyone that this magazine story is a lie, because all this magazine prints are lies. He knows it can't be true because his mother would never get involved with a person like Sam Bennett. Ethan says that he is the first born son of Julian and Ivy Crane, he is a Crane by birth and blood. Rebecca checks on Julian, who claims he is all right now that he knows Ivy's dirty little secret. Rebecca tells Julian that she is here from him, and he showed incredible courage in the way he handled the situation. Sam remembers what Eve told him, and tells her to tell everyone else that Ethan couldn't be his son because he was born prematurely. Eve just stands there, and Sam asks her if what she told him was the truth? Sam gets physical with Eve, which angers TC. Theresa goes to Ethan and tells him that they can leave if he wants. Ethan thanks her for just being with her, but says he must speak to his father. Ethan goes to see Julian and swears they will sue this paper again for printing these lies. Julian tells Ethan to listen to him, this newspaper is telling the truth, her mother knows this as does Pilar. Ethan says that Sam doesn't believe this either, so how can it be? Ethan asks Sam if he is his father? Sam says no, it is impossible. Julian blurts out "Wrong!" Julian says if they want proof then he will give it to them. Julian then begins to read the letter Ivy wrote to Sam. Ethan looks at the letter and says that this is a forgery, not a court of law would accept this as proof. Ethan wants to see the original letter. Julian doesn't know, and says he is asking the wrong person. Ethan accuses Sam of doing this. Sam tells Ethan to shut up, why would he fake this and claim him as his son? Ethan says it is because he would do anything to hurt him and his family. Ethan continues to throw a temper-tantrum and says that he is Ethan Crane, he is! Sheridan feels bad for Ethan, and she is also glad Luis is here. Gwen also feels bad for Ethan, but Rebecca says that Ethan will survive and they will go on with their life as it was meant to be. Rebecca promises Gwen that they will be in, and Ivy and Theresa will be out! Theresa sees Gwen and Rebecca smiling, and wonders why they are happy. Whitney thinks that perhaps they are the type of people who get pleasure out of other people's pain. Meanwhile, Julian doesn't blame Ethan for not wanting to accept this, but he must. Julian tells Ethan that he is a Bennett, and if he looks closely at his mother's face, he will see the truth. Ethan looks at his mother, who is in tears. Julian says that no amount of make-up can cover up the truth, so he should ask her if this is all true? Ethan asks Ivy if . . . . . Ivy tells Ethan that she is sorry, she is so sorry. Ethan realizes that it is all true.
Upstairs, Grace begs the angel girl to tell her what has happened, who is attacking her family? The angel says all she can tell her that the attack will come from an unexpected place, and it is to late to stop this attack. Grace asks what she can do? The angel tells her to stay strong and brave, and fight this evil with all her might. Grace begs the girl for more information. The angel tells her that she has warned her about this before, this has to do with Sam's son. Grace asks if something is wrong with Noah? The angel says that Noah is fine, so Grace thinks it must be about her unborn baby. The angel girl turns into a ball of light and flies away. Pilar shows up, and Grace tells her that something horrible is going to happen. Grace tells Pilar about the angel's warning, and how something terrible is going to happen which involves Sam's son. Grace says the angel always refers to him as Sam's son and not their son, which seems strange. Pilar tells Grace that it has been a long night and she will take her home. Grace says Sam can take her home, but Pilar says it will be more convenient if she takes her home. Grace becomes suspicious and asks if there is something she isn't telling her? Does she know what the angel is talking about? Pilar says it is best that she discuss this with Sam later. Grace decides to go see Sam right now, but Pilar says that Sam is busy right now. Grace is glad to hear that Sam is having a good time, because she knew he would. Grace becomes dizzy, so Pilar leaves to get her some water. Once Pilar leaves, Grace, who is fine, decides to go find Sam and ask him about the angel's prophecy.
At the mansion, Grace sneaks out of Ivy's bedroom, after Pilar goes in the bathroom to get Grace some water, in order to find Sam. Grace approaches the steps, and begins to feel that something terrible is happening. Grace wishes the angel would come back to her and tell her who is trying to destroy her family. Before she can descend, Pilar catches her. Grace has the feeling that Sam needs her, but Pilar thinks that she needs to go home. Grace says that she has to be with Sam so they can face this problem, whatever it is, together. Pilar begs her not to go down there. Grace says she is not that fragile, and that Sam needs her as does the rest of her family.
Downstairs, Julian tells Ethan to ask her mother point blank if all of this is true, perhaps Ivy might actually tell them all the truth. Ethan asks his mother . . . Ivy senses his hesitation and tells Ethan that she's so sorry. Ethan says it can't be true, he is not Sam Bennett's son! Theresa hates to see Ethan in so much pain and wonders who could have done this to him. Guilty Gwen tells her mother that she knew this would hurt Ethan, but she can't stand to see him hurting this way. Gwen begins to think that this wasn't such a good idea, but Rebecca tells Gwen that none of this is her fault, it is Ivy and Theresa's fault for keeping this from Ethan. Sam says that he doesn't care what any papers say, Ethan is NOT his son. Sam realizes he needs to check on Grace because if she hears these lies she could be affected by them. Eve tells Sam not to worry, Pilar is with Grace and she is going to take her home. Ivy tells Ethan once again that she is so sorry, and then hangs her head in shame. Ethan hugs his mom and tells her that it is all right. Ethan smiles, and then laughs, and says he knows this isn't true, she is just confused and upset. Ethan knows that the tabloid forced father to accuses her, and she is just upset. He remembers how she has always told him that he is a Crane and should be proud of his heritage. Ethan knows his mother would fill his heart with dreams that couldn't come true, he knows in his heart that he is a Crane. Ethan asks his mother to tell his father that it is not true. Guilty Gwen tells her mother that they never should have emailed the letter to the tabloid, but Rebecca says the truth was bound to come out, and she is just glad it did. Ethan continues to deny the possibility that Sam could be his father, because his mother couldn't have possibly known Sam back then. Julian tells Ivy to tell her son the truth. Ivy tells Ethan that she did know Sam, and that she met him before she met Julian. Sheridan had no idea that Ivy knew Sam, and Luis says this explains why Sam hates the Cranes and Julian, he blames Julian for taking Ivy. Luis gets a call from Miguel, and has to excuse himself. Later, Luis tells Sheridan that he has to leave and go look for his sister's missing girlfriend. Sheridan offers to go with him, but he tells her to stay and be here for Ethan. Sheridan ends up telling Luis the story about Ivy and Sam which Ivy tells them all, see below, and she wonders if the same could happen to them. Luis tells her not to worry because nothing could come between them. Meanwhile, Ethan asks Ivy if she and Sam were friends, and he says it can't be true that they were much more. Ivy tells Ethan that it is true, she and Sam were lovers. Ethan remembers how his mother always told him about her first great love, and he asks if Sam Bennett was that love? Ivy says that she loved him so much, and he loved her. She says they were young and innocent, and they thought they'd always be together, but her father and Alistair had other plans. Ivy says that she lost Sam, and she has cried over that every night of her life since losing him. Ethan asks her why she stopped seeing him? Ivy says that her father found out about her and Sam, so her father intercepted all of their phone calls and notes to make her think Sam wanted nothing to do with her. Ivy says that she was told that Sam had found other girls and moved on, and that he was just playing her. Ivy says that she was so angry at the time, and she went numb. Then, Julian came into her life, and he was so charming and attentive to her. Ivy says that Julian seemed so in love with her, and when he proposed, she accepted. Ivy tells Ethan that it was on her wedding night that she learned the truth, the entire wedding was a business merger. Ivy breaks down, and Ethan comforts his mother. Sam also seems deeply affected by Ivy's story. Julian tells Ivy that was quite a performance, but this is all an act to get Ethan's sympathy. Sheridan, who was out talking with Luis, returns and decides to put an end to all of this. Julian continues to call Ivy a liar and a hypocrite, and he says that he knew this wasn't a real marriage but entered it because he did what he had to do for the family. Julian says this marriage hasn't been easy for him either, he would have been much happier with someone else. Julian says Ivy knew as well as he did that this was a business deal. Ivy says that wasn't true, and all that ever mattered to her was love, and that is why she wanted Ethan to marry for love. Julian yells "Oh boo hoo, poor little rich girl, poor little slut got knocked up by a towny and passed the baby off as a Crane." Julian says that he wishes he was his father, but the truth is that Sam Bennett is his father. Sam says that is a lie, and Ethan agrees. Ethan says his mother just said that she and Sam broke up months before the marriage, so there is no way he can be Sam's on. As Grace approaches the stairs, she overhears Ethan tell his mother that he can accept the fact that she and Sam were lovers, even though he doesn't like it. Pilar tries to convince Grace to forget this and come upstairs, but Grace refuses. Ethan tells his mother that none of this matters, and that he can't possibly be Sam Bennett's son. Ivy says that she did marry Julian, but on the wedding night after she learned the truth . . . . Ethan asks his mother what she did next? Ivy says she can't say, but Julian has realized the truth. Grace continues to listen to what is going on and attempts to be brave. Ivy remembers what happened on her wedding night, how she came downstairs and found Alistair and Julian talking about her, and how Julian really didn't love her. AListair could care less and tells Julian to just concentrate on becoming the glamour couple of the year. Alistair told Julian that even though he doesn't love her, she must be worth a good role in the hay. Ivy then fled right into Sam's arms, but Alistair brought her back the next morning. Julian tells Ethan that is when he was conceived. Grace realizes that Ethan is Sam son, and begins to loose her balance. Julian tells Ethan that Ivy wouldn't let him make love to her for weeks, and then she lied and said Ethan was born prematurely. The news interrupted at this point to report on a possible bomb at a local post office, ARG. When the show came back, Grace was at the top of the step swooning and crying. Suddenly, Grace tumbles down the steps! The show ends with a shot of her lying at the foot of the steps.
At the Bennett's, Miguel approaches Charity's closet door, and Kay begs him not to open the door. Miguel says he has to find Charity, and Jessica wonders why Kay is so afraid of what is in the closet? Miguel opens the closet, and finds that it is empty, Charity isn't there. Jessica wonders where Charity could be, they've searched the whole house. Kay mumbles that she's dead, which Jessica and Miguel here. Jessica asks her sister what she's talking about? Kay says that Charity is dead, they will never see her again! Jessica asks her sister what is wrong with her? Miguel tells Kay that she's not making any sense, why would she say that? Kay says she must have gotten freaked out, but Jessica is a little more suspicious. Miguel wonders if Charity went to the Crane mansion for the party, and Kay says that he could be right. Miguel leaves to call Luis, who says Charity isn't at the party, so he'll come over and help them look for her. Reese shows up, and Miguel tells Reese that Charity is missing. Reese says that it is never a dull moment at the Bennett's! Miguel, Reese, and Jessica leave to search the neighborhood, and Kay decides to stay behind in case Charity comes back. Hecuba appears and tells Kay that they both know Charity is gone for good. Kay says yes, and then demands her souls back. Hecuba says she doesn't have the time right now, first she must deal with Tabitha and her brat!
Timmy and Tabitha finally make it back to Harmony. Timmy asks Tabitha if she thinks Charity is okay? Tabitha is sure she is because if she couldn't kill her, than Hecuba certainly can't. Besides, Tabitha says that Charity has Miguel's love and that angel brat protecting her. Still, Timmy thinks that perhaps the angel girl got distracted, and Hecuba got Miguel away from Charity. Tabitha tells Timmy to stop worrying because he is driving her nuts. Tabitha refuses to believe Hecuba has killed Charity. After changing out of their outfits, Tabitha begins to worry about their next problem, facing the locals once they read her book. Timmy asks her about the spell she put at the end of the book. Tabitha says that they just have to pray it works, and that everyone who reads it will forget what they've read! Tabitha once again begins to get a feeling that pain and destruction is destroying the Crane family, and she wonders if her book is the cause of it. As Timmy reads the part of the book on Sam and Ivy's child, Tabitha senses that the truth has come out, that is what is going on at the mansion. Later, the kids show up to ask Tabitha if she has seen Charity. Tabitha, who is still calling Reese, Ross, says she has not seen Charity. The kids leave, and Timmy panics. Timmy thinks that Hecuba has thrown Charity into the fires of hell, but Tabitha says if she couldn't kill Charity, than Hecuba won't be able to either. Suddenly, Hecuba appears, and almost gives Tabitha a heart attack. Hecuba laughs and tells Tabitha that she is wrong again, she has finished off Charity once and for all! Hecuba says right now Charity is burning in the fires of hell! Timmy screams "Not Timmy's sweet and innocent Charity!" Timmy charges Hecuba, but she hold him back with one hand. Timmy says that he loves Charity, and that Hecuba is a horrible person. Tabitha asks Hecuba why she is here? Hecuba says now that she has taken care of Charity, she is going to take care of them! The friends in the basement begin to roar, and Hecuba says the friends are not happy! Hecuba tells Tabitha that she has destroyed Charity's goodness forever, and it is time for her and tweedle-dumb to pay the price. Tabitha refuses to believe she got rid of Charity. The friends in the basement continue to roar, and Hecuba tells Tabitha that their friends are waiting for them!
Back at the Bennett's, the kids return, and Luis arrives. They all go upstairs, and Luis wonders why it smells like sulphur? Kay claims that Charity thought she saw a fire in here. Miguel remembers how Charity had a vision of hell in her closet. Luis thinks she must have been having bad dreams, but when he examines the closet, he finds scorch marks. Miguel asks Kay why she never told them there was a real fire here, what does she know about this?
At Tabitha's place, Hecuba leads Tabitha and Timmy to the basement door and tells them that their friends are waiting to see them! Timmy cries that he is too young to die. Tabitha asks Hecuba to spare Timmy, but Hecuba says that Timmy is her side kick, so he must die too. Timmy says he's too young to die, he hasn't even started shaving yet! HEcuba tells "mini-me" that he won't be meeting any girls where he is going! Before she sends them down, Hecuba tells their friends in the basement how she rid the world of Charity. Hecuba says it wasn't the piece of cake she thought it would be, but she did succeed where Tabitha failed because she is a better sorceress than Tabitha is. Hecuba says that is why she and little Tim-Tim must be disposed of! Hecuba tells them the story of how she disposed of Charity, and that at times she wondered if she would ever succeed. Hecuba says that Charity will never be heard of again, and that the darkside has won! Hecuba casts a spell, and then asks Tabitha if she has any last requests? When Tabitha opens her mouth, Hecuba tells her that she's not going to grant her a thing after the way she's treated her over the years. Tabitha says she never did a thing to her, but Hecuba says she always acted as if her powers were superior. Hecuba tells Tabitha that she will wish she had banished her to a cave when she's through with her, and then prepares to send Tabitha and Timmy down below. Timmy says he doesn't want to die, but if he has to die, he is glad to be going with Tabitha. As Hecuba prepares to kill them, Tabitha's house begins to shake! Timmy thinks that it is an earthquake, but Tabitha says someone is praying, and they're prayers are directed at them!
At the mansion, Julian says that it all makes sense, nine months after his and Ivy's wedding night, Ethan was born, and Ivy passed him off as a Crane. Julian tells Ethan that the letter wasn't a forgery, it was true. Ethan asks Ivy if it this is true? Ivy says it is true, he is Sam's son. Grace, who is at the top of the stairs, hears this, faints, and falls down the steps! Pilar runs down to Grace, who is on the floor unconscious. She screams for help, and the others come running. Eve says "Oh my god, the baby!" and runs to Grace's side. Sam also rushes to Grace, and he gently tells her to wake up. Sheridan calls an ambulance, and Sam asks Eve why Grace won't wake up? Eve asks for room while Sam worries about the baby. TC goes to get Eve's medical bag out of the car. The reporter has returned, and says that this story is getting bigger by the minute! Pilar says she tried to catch Grace, but she couldn't. Sam asks Pilar how long Grace was at the top of the stares? Pilar says for a few minutes, which means she heard everything. Sam says he'll never forgive himself if anything happens to Grace or his baby. Eve wants to take Grace to the hospital, but she wants her to rest some place quiet until the ambulance comes Sam doesn't understand how this could have happened, and he asks Pilar why she didn't take her home? Pilar tells Sam that when she went upstairs, Grace was very upset because she had another vision from the little angel girl, and she had warned her that something was going to tear her family apart, and that it had something to do with his son. Pilar says that Grace thought it had to do with her unborn son, so she went to him for reassurance. Sam blames himself for all of this, he should have told Grace the truth about him and Ivy years ago. Sam wonders if he has killed Grace, and he says he'd sell his soul to turn the clock back an hour. TC tells Sam that he had no idea Ethan was his son. Sam says that Eve told him that Ethan was a premature baby, and Eve says that is what she read. TC thinks that perhaps the records were wrong. Sam goes to Pilar and asks her for the truth, is Ethan his son? Pilar cries "Yes, yes Sam! You are Ethan's father." Sam is shocked and hurt. He asks her why didn't Ivy tell him years ago? Pilar says that Ivy wanted to, but there was so much at stake and so many reasons. Sam says that he had the right to know. Pilar says that it seemed like the right thing to do. Sam says it wasn't right for him or Ethan, and probably not Ivy. He goes on to say that if Ivy didn't have the courage to tell him, then why didn't she? Pilar says that she considered it, but once Ivy made up her mind she swore her to secrecy. Pilar says that it was her duty to Ivy, but Sam says she had a duty to him too! Sam tells Pilar that her explanation is not good enough! Sam goes to see Eve and demands she tell her the truth about how Grace is doing. Eve says it doesn't look good, Grace should have regained consciousness by now. The paramedics eventually arrive to take Grace to the hospital, and Sam prays to god that she will be all right. Chad and Whitney discuss the fall, and wonder if things could get any worse. Whitney says they could, if Ethan were to learn that Theresa knew the truth about him. Meanwhile, Rebecca continues to enjoy the entertainment. Rebecca enjoys watching Ivy's last moments as queen of the manor. Gwen says that she and Ivy got along fine, it is Theresa that she wants seen thrown out of here. Rebecca says that will happen very soon, Ethan will soon learn that he has misjudged his trampy fiancee. Rebecca goes to Julian and tells him that if he needs anything, she is here. Rebecca goes back to Gwen, and says that Julian is taking this harder than he thought, but he will come to her, just like Ethan will go to her (Gwen). Theresa goes to Ethan and tells him that it will be all right. Sheridan also comforts Ethan. Ethan tells Sheridan that he's always been so proud to share the same last name with her, and now . . . Sheridan tells Ethan that nothing has changed, she still loves him as if he was her nephew. Ethan says that is not true, nothing will ever be the same for him again. Ethan then spots the reporter taking pictures, and he races after him. Ethan grabs the reporter and tells him that he won't get away with this! Ethan asks him where he gets off, slithering into his house with his filthy camera! The reporter tells Ethan that he should be thanking him for revealing the truth! SHeridan "how dares!" the reporter for turning their family problems into front page news so he can sell papers. The reporter tells her that they all have to make a living. Sheridan calls him a vulture, and tells him that he's not even human! The reporter says that he didn't make this story up, he just got a hot tip and his boss told him to run with it. Ethan demands to know who the hot tip came from. The reporter says that the tip came in anonymously. Sheridan tells Ethan to forget it, he won't tell them anything even if he does know the truth. Ethan yells at the reporter to get out of here before he sends him back to his boss in pieces! The reporter leaves, and Theresa wishes there was something she could do to make Ethan feel better. Gwen goes to Ethan and tells him how terrible she feels about everything tonight. Rebecca also says she feels terrible about this as well, and she wonders who could have done such a thing. Ethan says he doesn't know, and he never knew there were people who hated him this much. Theresa says that Ethan will find out who did this! Ethan says he will spend every day for the rest of his life trying to find the person who did this to him. Ethan hugs Theresa, and Rebecca says if they ever manage to trace that email it will lead right back to little miss guacamole! Sheridan asks Ivy if this is true? Ivy says it is. Sheridan asks if she is sure, has she done DNA tests? Ivy says it isn't necessary, she has always known who Ethan really was. Sheridan asks Ivy why she lied? Ivy says she lied to protect him, and she of all people should understand how her family is! Ivy says if she told anyone the truth, she and Ethan would have been thrown out, and she couldn't bear to see Ethan hurt. Sheridan says that is exactly what has happened, he is devastated and she couldn't have hurt him more if she tried. Later, Ivy tells Sam, as he is leaving with Grace, that she hopes Grace and the baby are all right. Sam tells Ivy that if anything happens to her or the baby, he will never forgive her! Sam then looks up at Ethan, who turns away from his father. Ivy fears that Sam and Ethan hate each other and they hate her. Rebecca tells Gwen that they have taken care of Ivy, now it is time to take care of Theresa.
At the mansion, as Grace is being taken away on a stretcher, Sam tells Ivy that if anything happens to either one of them, he will never forgive her! Sam looks at Ethan, who walks away. Ivy tells Pilar that they both hate one another, and they hate her, what has she done? Rebecca tells Gwen that it is time to bring Theresa down, now that they have gotten rid of Ivy. Gwen asks when they will bring her down? Rebecca says soon, very soon. Gwen wants to do it now, but Rebecca tells her to be patient, they must wait until the perfect opportunity. Rebecca says they need to focus on Julian right now, because the sooner she marries Julian, the sooner they can work on getting Ethan back into the mansion as a Crane. Theresa feels bad for Mrs. Bennett. Chad hopes that nothing else happens tonight. Whitney says they need to pray for Mrs. Bennett and her baby. Whitney and Chad go off an talk in private. Whitney is beginning to wonder that perhaps love can't overcome everything after all. Perhaps Theresa's dream of being with Ethan was a stupid fairy tale after all. Chad doesn't think that Ethan's problem is going to come between them, and their love will get Ethan through this. Still, Whitney says Theresa kept the truth from Ethan. Chad says that she did it out of love, but Whitney says that everything that happened here tonight was in the so called name of love. Whitney doesn't want this to happen to her, but Chad thinks there is nothing in either of their pasts which can hurt them. Whitney says that perhaps there is something about his real parents which could keep them apart. Chad says if there were something, they should just be happy right now. Whitney says she can't live that way, she has to consider her future. Whitney walks off,
Elsewhere,Theresa and Sheridan comfort Ethan, who says the only thing he needs right now is to fix himself a drink. He runs into Julian, and he swears he didn't know about any of this. Ethan tells Julian that even though they didn't always see eye to eye, he never wanted it to be this way. Julian looks at Ivy, and walks away. Ethan looks at his mother, and he also turns away from her. Ethan finds his mother's locket on the ground, and when he opens it, he realizes why she always got upset when he tried to open it. Ethan can't believe that Sam is his father, he doesn't even like the man. Ivy runs to Ethan and tells him not to say that. Ethan tells his mother that he doesn't want to talk to her about this. Ivy wants to explain, but Ethan asks her what there is to explain, his whole life has been a lie! The man he loved as his father isn't his father, that he is only a half-brother to his siblings, and that his own mother lied to him. Ivy tells Ethan that she loves him and everything she ever did was because she loved him. Ethan can't believe she would lie to him if she loved him so. Ethan says that he doesn't know who he is, where he belongs, or what his name is, and it is all because of her. Ethan walks off to be alone, and Ivy once again wonders what she has done. Meanwhile, Julian goes into his study and cries over a picture of himself and Ethan. Rebecca spies on Julian as he cries, and she tells Gwen that those tears are her ticket to the altar. Gwen and Rebecca run away when they hear someone coming, it is Sheridan. Sheridan goes in to see her brother, who quickly tries to cover his tears. Sheridan tells Julian that she is sorry and can't imagine what he is going through right now. Julian says he is fine, but Sheridan knows he isn't and says it is all right to admit that he is feeling hurt. Julian says he is just allergic to something, spores probably. Sheridan says that she has come to talk to him about Ethan. She tells him that Ethan may not be his son by blood, but he is his son in every other way that counts, and this doesn't have to change what they have together. Alistair calls Julian, and basically makes fun of him for crying. AListair tells Julian to stop being weak and pull himself together. Alistair knows Sheridan is there, so he demands to be put on speakerphone so he doesn't have to repeat himself. Julian does as Alistair says. Alistair tells Sheridan that for once SHE hasn't disgraced the family. Alistair says that Ivy will pay for her treachery, and Alistair tells Julian that he should have known that Ivy's bastard wasn't his. Alistair is furious that he embraced old man Bennett's grandson as his own. Sheridan is furious and says that Ethan is still the same man he has always been. Sheridan says that Ethan may not be a Crane biologically, but he is in every other way. Alistair says that boy is not a Crane, he is nothing but a Bennett! Sheridan wonders how Alistair could be so cruel and cold hearted. Alistair says the truth is that Ethan is a Bennett. Sheridan asks Julian to tell their father that he still loves Ethan. Julian says of course he still loves Ethan, and Ivy will suffer for playing him for a fool. He also says Sam Bennett will think his family is cursed when he is done with them. AListair is pleased to hear Julian saying this. Sheridan tells them that Ivy and the Bennetts aren't important, what is important is that they stand behind Ethan. Julian says that father is right, Ethan is not what is important, he is of no concern to him. Sheridan can't believe how cold they are being towards Ethan, how can they turn their backs on him? Alistair says it is easy, he is not a Crane. Alistair tells Sheridan that there is a lesson to be learned here, Ethan's situation is the result of getting involved with people outside their own class. Sheridan asks if this is a threat? Alistair says he is just stating the facts, and he says Julian almost made a bad match when he was her age.
Meanwhile, Theresa goes to Ethan and tells him that she wishes she knew what to do or say to help him. Ethan thanks Theresa, but says he's just very confused and numb. He says that he doesn't know what to do, say, or feel, but it doesn't matter because he is no longer Ethan Crane. Gwen shows up and asks Ethan if there is anything that she can do for him. Ethan says no, and then says it is bad enough for his whole life to have been a lie, but for it to come out like this. Ethan wonders who could have sent this to the tabloids. He says that whoever did this should have told him the truth first, not to lie to him and keep it from him. Rebecca, who shows up, says that Ethan is right, what type of person would do this? Gwen adds "and how could you ever trust them again." Ethan says this person is the scum of the earth and he'll never forgive them for betraying him like this. Rebecca says that whoever this is doesn't even deserve to be in his life. Ethan says they don't, and he just wishes he knew who was responsible for this. Theresa realizes that if Ethan learns she knew the truth and didn't tell him, it would destroy them. Theresa talks with WHitney about this. She has no idea how the letter could have gotten to the tabloids, but it couldn't have come from her. Theresa tries to remain calm and thinks that nobody will find out that she knew the truth, because the letter didn't come from her. Theresa goes back to Ethan, and Chad and Whitney talk. Chad says that there is only a short list of people who knew the truth about Ethan, and Theresa is on that list of people who could have sent the letter to the tabloids. Chad says even if Theresa didn't do this to Ethan, she should still be worried. Meanwhile, Rebecca and Gwen can't wait until Ethan learns that the tabloid received the information from Theresa's computer, because it will mean the end of Ethan and Theresa. Rebecca thinks that now is the time to make their move and tell Ethan that Theresa knew the truth, but Gwen says that will only blow their own cover. Rebecca realizes that Gwen is right, and says there must be some way to cover their own tracks and still destroy Theresa. Theresa tells Ethan that she loves him so much, and she hates that he has to go through this. THeresa tells Ethan that she is with him now and she always will be, everything will be okay.
Ivy talks with Pilar and asks her how this could happen? How did the tabloid get the letter? Ivy says when she finds out how her letter got in the hands of that reporter, she will make whoever is responsible pay!
On the way to the hospital, Grace's pulse begins to weaken. The heart monitor begins to beep, and a paramedic says she's about to go into cardiac arrest! Sam begs Grace not to leave him. Grace is saved, for the moment, and they arrive at the hospital. Eve instructs her helpers that they need to monitor the patient carefully because she is pregnant, and this fall could have jeopardized the health of the baby. Grace eventually wakes up, and she asks Eve about her baby. Eve tells Grace that everything will be all right. Grace asks Eve not to let her lose her baby. Eve sympathizes with Grace because she knows what it is like to lose a baby. Meanwhile, Sam continues to blame himself for all of this. Sam says that Grace had faith in him, and he shattered that faith. Sam says the way she learned the truth is even worse. TC tells Sam that it was a shock to him too, he didn't know about Ethan. Sam says it was just one more lie which helped to shatter Grace's world. Sam worries that he's going to lose Grace over this. Sam goes to see Grace later, but she is asleep. Sam tells Grace that he is very sorry, and that he never meant for this to happen. Sam tells her that he never wanted her to suffer for something he did, because he loves her so much.
