The show opens with Whitney and Chad sitting by Orville's side. Whitney says she thinks he's dead, and Chad gets upset saying how Orville was his only link to his past. Orville moves and Whitney yells for Chad. He comes running over and tells Orville to hang on. They can hear the ambulance in the distance, and then Simone runs up to see what has happened. They fill her in and she says that it seems strange that the car would just take off and that it probably wasn't an accident. Whitney tells her to knock off the X-Files talk, but Chad thinks her story makes sense. The scene cuts to the hospital and a nurse is telling Dr. Russell that she is late. She said she had car trouble and she hit a bump in the road and messed up her head light. She then gets the news that a hit and run victim is being brought in. Orville is wheeled in and she says "after all these years, Orville, you come back into my life." She gets him stabilized and Chad insists on seeing him. She's completely rude to him and tells him that it's not possible to see him right now. Orville comes to and keeps saying "Eve." After Chad leaves the room, Orville says "you really are afraid of me, Eve, aren't you?" She prepares an injection and Orville says he doesn't want to die and that he'll keep quiet. Eve tells him it's for the best and gives it to him. She then goes outside to yell at Whitney and Simone for being w/the spawn of Satan. Whitney tells her that she's sorry, but Eve tells her that sorry isn't good enough. Orville is coming to again and asking for Chad. The nurse tells Eve that, and she tells Chad that it isn't possible b/c Orville is confused and disoriented and needs his rest. She goes back in there and prepares yet another dose of something to give to Orville.
Julian tells Theresa that he has another document to get out for Ethan and that he will go and get it. He is out of the room and Theresa says how this is fate. He comes back in and asks if she said something. And she said that she's just glad that he trusts her to do this for him. He tells her that she's good worker. He said beauty and brains are a deadly combo. Pilar comes in and asks Theresa why she looks so happy, and Theresa tells her that she's going to the cabin to see Ethan. She says it's fate and that this is yet another reason why she and Ethan are meant to be together. Pilar tells her to quit living in a fantasy world, and that Ethan isn't going to fall in love with her while he signs some papers. Theresa says she won't give up on her dreams, and Pilar tells her that her dreams are delusional, but there's no use in arguing b/c she's too stubborn to listen. Julian comes back with the documents for Ethan and gives Theresa some money for the train and a cab. He tells Pilar that she has a wonderful daughter, and Pilar thanks him. Theresa leaves to go to the cabin. Later, Pilar came in and asked Julian if she could go home. He says something about how different Theresa and Luis were. Pilar defends Luis saying he is just worried about their family and that his father's disappearance did a lot of damage. Julian says something about Martin being a thief and that he was sorry he had to tell him. Pilar says that when the truth comes out she doesn't know who will be hurt the most...the Cranes or the Lopez-Fitzgeralds. She leaves and Julian puts a call into Daddy! He says that they have a problem, and that he's taking care of it. He says he is well aware that the past cannot come into the light. He also says something about their well kept secret in New Mexico.
Julian is trying to call Ethan to inform him that Theresa is on her way, but he's on the phone with Gwen and won't click over. They talk about how much this weekend is going to mean to the both of them, and Gwen keeps looking at her finger as if the ring is going to magically appear there. He tells her to hurry so they can get snowed in together. She was worried about Theresa at first, and Ethan tells her "Theresa who?" She hangs up and says she can't wait to get there. Ethan busies himself lighting candles and sprinkling rose petals all over the cabin. He was creating his love lair! Anyway, he says he has just enough time for a quick shower before Gwen arrives. Theresa pulls up to the cabin in the taxi and steps out gazing at the place. The cabbie asks her if she wants him to wait, and she says no, that she will probably be awhile. She goes inside and is in awe of the place and that Ethan would do all of this for her. Ethan hears her come in thinking that it's Gwen. He's hiding in the bedroom and he drops the towel to the floor saying he's going to give her a big surprise when she gets there. Theresa follows the trail of rose petals to the door and opens it. Ethan turns her around and starts kissing her fully believing that it's Gwen. Theresa dives right in there!
Sheridan is requesting clearance for takeoff when Luis hops aboard and ask her what the hell she is doing. She tells him to leave and he says not until you tell me what you're doing. She yells at him again saying "GET OFF MY PLANE" She tells him to leave or else she'll have him arrested. He busts out laughing and asks her on what grounds. Sheridan tells him that he is trespassing on Crane Property, but Luis brushes this off. He says, "Show me what you've got" and takes a seat next to her. She looks at him incredulously and tells him again to leave. He wants to know why going to New Mexico is so important to her. She has a flash to that night and she tells him that she's already told him it's because of Pilar. Luis tells her that it doesn't add up. Sheridan tells him that she loves Pilar and just wants to help. Luis grills her some more and finally says they are in a push. Sheridan asks what he means, and he says a standoff. He says he's too stubborn to leave, and she's too pig headed to admit why she's really going. So, he says it looks like we're traveling to New Mexico together and winks at her! She rolls her eyes at him. She tells him no, but he says if she refuses, he'll hop the next flight and find out what she's up to. He says he'll let her fly him there and she gets mad. She reluctantly agrees and says fine but while he's aboard the plane, she's the boss. He salutes her and says "yes ma'am." She says when the get to New Mexico he can turn back into Robocop and they can go their separate ways. He says fine and to start the jets. While in the air Luis admits that he's impressed. She says that piloting a plane is easier than piloting your life. He makes a sarcastic comment on how she's had it so hard in life. He tells her she's got all the money in the world, THAT SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, and she's had a free ride her whole life. She has a flashback to a Christmas when she was a little girl and she was saying why doesn't anyone love me. Sheridan sarcastically says under her breath that her life has been a walk in the park. Later they are making small talk and Luis asks her if she's ever been to New Mexico, and she says no, but she's heard that it's beautiful. Sheridan says with all of the mountains and deserts, Luis says it's like heaven on earth. He then goes into bitter mode saying how his father has lived in paradise all these years after abandoning the family. Sheridan says you don't know that for sure, and he says he's going to find out. He makes a comment that if his father met with foul play, he'd get to the bottom of it, and Sheridan jerks the plan after hearing this. Luis asks what that was, and she covers saying it was an air pocket. Luis tells her he's going to take a nap and to wake him when she lands. She thinks to herself that they have to get to the bottom of this and find out whether she is a murderess or not.
