Jared was wheeled out of surgery and the nurse said he was doing better and that he was mumbling for Tess. While Theresa sat with him in his cubicle, Ethan cornered Whitney for the truth. “Help me protect her,” he said, but Whit insisted he go to Theresa. Instead, he eavesdropped outside Jared’s cubicle. A woozy Jared suspected he was shot by a woman, because the shooter had on red heels. His voice was weak, so it wasn’t clear if Ethan heard him tell Theresa, “I wanted to help you stop that person from scaring you.” When Theresa came out, Ethan begged her to let him help her, but before he could win her over, the blackmailer called her. “Don’t tell him!” he/she ordered. After more threats, Theresa hung up and told Ethan, “Nothing in my life concerns you.” She also noted that he was wearing his wedding ring before storming off. Ethan was sure it changed everything when he was served with divorce papers. Theresa, meanwhile, went back to Jared’s bedside. Vincent showed up and told her that the blackmailer had contacted him. They knew he was on the case and wanted to meet with Theresa. He urged her not to go, especially after their strange request. “They said not only were you to show up alone, but that you weren’t to send anyone in your place, and if you did…you and little Ethan’s father would be at serious risk.” Theresa was set on going.
Chad was glad he ended his gay affair before Whit caught on, but somewhere else his lover was watching a DVD of one of their sessions. When Chad met Whitney at the hospital, she worried over Jared’s shooter. “I thought all of our bad times are over once we got back from Rome,” she sighed. They empathized with both Theresa’s and Ethan’s positions. Then she brought up the gay debate and again slammed Chad’s backward notion that gay people don’t love each other the way straight people do. When talk turned back to Theresa’s blackmailer, Whitney worried, “God only knows what they could do to Theresa this time,” but Chad maintained, “They just enjoy pulling her strings.” He got her to go home with him and she said she wanted to hang out with their sitter, Gram. When Gram arrived, he was with his boyfriend. He also recognized Chad. “I just can’t place where,” he said. When he pushed it, Chad was so curt with him it embarrassed Whitney. After they left, Chad said, “My kid’s best friend is not going to be the son of two daddies.” Whitney asked after his sudden hostility to homosexuals and Chad flashed back to his time at a gay bar.
Luis was less sure of Sheridan’s innocence when he and Fancy found she wasn’t at her cottage. She was in the car, remembering romantic times and turning the radio up with scratched up arms. She was surprised to find everyone waiting for her and explained she went to get James cough syrup. No one seemed to buy her excuse, but then James woke up, came in and coughed. Fancy wasn’t convinced and made that clear after Sheridan put James to bed. Sheridan seemed genuinely concerned when she heard that her niece was attacked again, but then Fancy pointed to her high heels and she realized her niece was accusing her. When Fancy asked to see if her arms were scratched, Sheridan moved away. “There is no way in hell that I am going to subject myself to the paranoid ravings of someone in the throws of a nervous breakdown,” she said, and refused to show her arms. Luis backed down (which was so typical), and Sheridan feigned empathy. Fancy stormed out and then Chris went to check on James, leaving Luis and Sheridan alone. She told Luis that years ago Pretty, who had an “unstable” reputation, got in trouble and that she’d always suspected Fancy was the guilty party. Chris, meanwhile, found a full bottle of cough syrup in the medicine cabinet. Before leaving, Luis talked about taking Fancy for a getaway to the new inn and then, outside, when Fancy pushed him, he admitted he didn’t believe her and suggested that getaway. She agreed, but insisted she’d still suspect Sheridan. When Sheridan undressed, Chris spied the scratches on her arms.
