A local television crew is at the Bennett house, and they are doing a live story about the bird attack. Sam describes the attack as unbelievable.

Charity is sleeping and she is dreaming of the attack. Charity relives seeing the monster she saw last night. Miguel hears Charity talking of evil. The reporter finishes his report and the clean up in the Bennett house continues. Eve does not believe what happened. Grace somehow feels they were targeted for the attack. Hecuba asks Kay to watch Charity to find out how she reacts to the attack. Kay thinks Hecuba is scared of Charity. Hecuba becomes highly irritated and tells Kay to do as she says or she will never get her soul back. Miguel tells Charity to wake up, she is only dreaming. Charity wakes and screams out Hecuba's name. TC can't believe what went down last night. Sam is scared that Grace is going to use this attack and go over board the way she has a tendency to do. He remembers how Grace reacted after she said she was visited by the angel girl. Miguel tells Charity she was having a nightmare. Charity describes the ghoulish figure she saw last night, and again in her dream. Charity knows that what she saw was real and not a dream. Miguel asks Charity who Hecuba is, saying that is the name she screamed when she woke up. Kay enters Charity's room to check on her, and Charity asks her cousin who Hecuba is.

Eve wants to know why Tabitha did not hear anything from the attack last night as she only lives next door. Jessica is telling Tabitha about reading the horoscopes last night on the Internet. Harmony was targeted in the horoscopes saying the battle over good and evil was going to take place and Harmony could be blown off the face of the earth. Grace tells Jessica not to scare Tabitha but Tabitha tells Timmy Jessica is right on the money. Timmy is confused and asks Tabitha what side they are on. Tabitha doesn't really know, as they are dead meat no matter what they do. Ivy arrives at the Bennett house and she tells Sam she was scared for him. She can't get him out of her minds no matter what she does. Sam tells Ivy to get out but she kisses him passionately. Grace walks in the kitchen and wants to know what is going on. Ivy tells Grace she tripped on something and Sam caught her. Sam asks Ivy to go but Grace asks her to stay and talk. Ivy and Grace talk about the angel girl giving Grave a warning about Sam's son. Grace truly feels her family is under a dark cloud. Grace returns to help with the clean up and Sam tells Ivy to leave. He believes she is up to her old tricks again about Ethan being their love child. Ivy leaves but she wonders if Grace's premonitions are true. Perhaps Ethan is in some kind of real danger. Sam is talking to TC and Eve while Tabitha over hears the conversation about Ivy Crane. Miguel tells Grace about Charity's nightmare. Tabitha hopes that Grace will still love Sam when she finds out that Ethan is Sam's son. Hecuba sees everything that is going on in her mirror. She stirs her cauldron and the contents in the pot turn red. Sam tells every one to stick together but as he is talking, blood comes through the walls. Everyone sees the blood and Hecuba tells Kay to take a look but especially in her own room. Tabitha tells Timmy that bleeding walls mean death for all who reside within...

She yells and everyone comes running out of the kitchen to see what is the matter. Watching from outside, Tabitha tells Timmy it is the beginning of the end for everyone in Harmony. Kay heard Charity's scream and asks Hecuba what she did to her cousin. Kay does not want Charity hurt, she just does not want her to be with Miguel. Kay also tells Hecuba she does not want Miguel any more. The price is not worth all the pain that her family is going through. Charity tells everyone she saw the word death written on the wall. Sam tells her she only imagined it. Tabitha knows Hecuba is toying with Charity. Reese tells everyone he can explain everything that that has happened. Sam tells Charity he too has an explanation. He says the word death must have been on Charity's mind so she willed herself to see it, the way people can see images in clouds. Reese tells Sam he is wrong, and begins to tell the story of two witches who were in a battle royal hundreds of years ago in England. Reese reads from the Internet, and according to Tabitha he is describing the events that took place event to event. Tabitha curses the Internet! Sam asks Reese what he is looking at and Reese tells the police chief he is reading from the Internet and the story is fact. It did happen.

Tabitha now feels useless, as she has no powers and she done not know what to expect from Hecuba. Reese continues to relate the story, and Kay wants more information. She asks questions about the appearance of the witches. Reese says there were no pictures and everyone living in the town died of the plague. The legend has it the two witches still live there.

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 Ethans 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 Ethans 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 Julians 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 without a fight. Ivy tells Ethan there is nothing Rebecca can do to him or Theresa. Rebecca and Gwen have printed off a copy of Ivys 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.

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't shake the feeling that evil is at work. Hecuba explains to Kay that Charity and Miguels goodness and love created a shield around them so Hecuba's powers can't 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.

Eve panics and says maybe the woman was lonely and she made a mistake only out of the love that Julian had for the woman which were nothing but lies. Rebecca can't understand what is taking so long. She is sure Julian should know the news by now. She is going to go to the library to check to see what is taking so long. Rebecca passes Ethan and Theresa kissing on the dance floor. She stops and looks at them knowing it will be one of the last kisses they ever share. Julian asks his father to give him a few minutes before he contacts Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald. He has to get rid of who ever is in his library. Alistair tells him to hurry. Alistair hopes the news of Sheridans confession will also break apart Theresa and Ethan. He will not allow his grandson to marry the housekeepers daughter. The reporter is eager to bring down the house of Crane. Luis and Sheridan have found a deserted room in the mansion to be alone. Sheridan finds a tea set she had from when she was a little girl. She tells Luis she had no little friends to play tea party with. She only played alone. This upsets Luis. Sam wants Grace to sit down. He has to take extra special care of her because he loves her so much. He tells Grace she means everything to him. Ivy says her life would have been so different if she had married Sam. Miguel tells Theresa he loves Charity so much but he wonders at times how they will do in the long term. Charity feels things other people do not. He is scared she will not be in his life for long. She is too good for this world. Sheridan tells Luis she had no friends growing up. Her father would not allow her to play with any of the local children. The only thing she had left after her mother died to keep her company was her doll. One day she got a bit of dirt on it and Alistair ordered one of the servant's to throw it away. Luis is so sorry for the hurt her family caused her. Sheridan says if Alistair or Julian did not like something then they would get rid of it on her, no matter her emotional attachment to it. She is worried that they will try to break up her relationship with Luis. Theresa tells Miguel to never give up hope. The clock begins to strike midnight and Theresa wonders if she will loose everything like Cinderella. Julian tells Alistair he will get rid of who ever is in the library. He enters the library and sees the reporter. The reporter tells Julian he wants to show him something. Rebecca is very excited. She saw Julian enter his library and knows the bomb is about to fall...
