Eve is touched and tickled as she watches Vincent's first moments with his/her son, but Julian is quick to remind her that their son is both mother and father to the baby, with Julian being father. When Eve asks to hold the baby, Vincent says no, explaining his baby needs a fresh start, free of pill popping fiends like her. "Will you swear to be a better grandmother to my son than you were to me?" he asks. She reminds him that she and Julian never even knew he was alive, thanks to Alistair, but still agrees to try to make it up to him. She says she love him and the baby, "And I'll help you do everything I can to be the best mother you can be." After he confirms her hands aren't shaking, Vincent puts Eve's grandson in her arms. She takes the baby to Julian, who refuses to take his son/grandson. Vincent asks if he has a problem with their baby, so he clears his throat and feigns he's coming down with something. Eve hands the baby back to Vincent and while pretending to check the "ailing" Julian, reprimands him, but Julian insists, "I'm not touching that freak show baby!" Eve counters the strangeness of the situation should not change the fact that this is his grandson, comparing Julian's rejection to that of Alistair. She reminds him that the child is not responsible for the circumstances of his birth. Julian then admits he fears the baby's inherited Vincent's craziness, but Eve assures him Vincent's problems are nurture, not nature. "Isn't it obvious that it's due to Alistair's cruel treatment of him as a child? He's been emotionally and mentally tortured," she sighs, but Julian isn't budging. When Vincent asks for Julian's support, however Eve demands he behave appropriately, even if he has to lie.

Julian slowly walks to Vincent and awkwardly takes their child in his arms. "Cootchie Cootchie Coo," he says and quickly softens to his son/grandson. He wants to give the child all the Crane privileges and says they must register the birth. Vincent and Eve balk at that, reminding them Vincent is supposed to be dead and if the law finds out he's not, he'll end up in prison. Julian considers Vincent's going to jail a given and counters that parents must sacrifice for their children. Vincent holds his son and cries, but Julian is sure they'll take Vincent's mental state into account and goes to call Sam. Eve stops him by asking if he plans to tell Sam the whole truth, noting, "You impregnated your own son. Now your penis is disfigured. I think the media would have a field day with that." She even threatens to provide the media with some post surgery photos, so Julian hangs up. A thankful Vincent runs to him, embraces him and even apologizes for maiming Little Julian. Eve is so happy she too embraces him, but Julian worries over what their little psychopath will do next. Eve is confident motherhood and their assistance are already turning Vincent into a good person. In fact, after Julian's show of support just now, she's confident, "Vincent will never do anything evil again." Julian looks less convinced and Vincent's quite chatter to his baby proves Julian right. Vincent does promise his son he won't kill Eve and Julian, but remains committed to revenge. "I have all these talents and it would be a shame to let them all go to waste," he explains. Then he shows his son Sheridan's picture and says, "Aunt Sheridan has to die."

Noah's still trying to calm Paloma over having seen Theresa's death in the glass shards. "Someone sent me a vision of that viscous Juanita stabbing my sister to death," she cries. Noah reminds her Theresa is dead, but Paloma still believes it's some sort of sign. He suggests it's her imagination, referencing the recent stress of Theresa's death and their own love problems. "Not to mention all those strange things that have happened in this house," she adds and seems to be considering Noah's theory. They embrace, as Tabitha shakes her head at obtuse Noah, since the sign was of course real. Noah suggests Paloma is making a mountain out of a molehill and she finally gives up, saying, "It must have been my imagination." He holds her and says, "We should find some way to alleviate your stress." They start kissing, which disgusts a watching Tabby. "If it were Paloma and Roberto," she chuckles, "that I could watch!" It reminds her of her hot nights with Zorro back in the day. "Good times," she smiles before getting up to pour herself a martimi. When she stands, the Book of Disasters starts sparking, smoking and spinning. "Maybe I should just grab Endora and hit the road," she thinks, but she's too curious about the next victim to do that. The sparks start flying straight up in the air and right into Noah and Paloma's love session in Kay's room! When the sparks shoot through the bed, throwing them apart, Paloma panics. Noah jumps through the sparks to hold herm so the sparks tighten into a ball. When the couple runs out of the room, it tries to follow, but hits the door. The duo runs down to the living room to ask Tabby what's going on and recognizes the sparks coming out of the book. Noah demands an explanation for the fireworks, so Tabby asks if he's drunk. The book stops sparking, but the couple still wants answers. Tabitha doesn't seem concerned until he says he made tea from her blue container in the kitchen. She puts her hand to her head and chuckles about the good times she's had on that tea. "I too was young once, and believe me I lived. I bought that tea during a marvelous psychedelic summer in San Francisco," she explains. She reminisces about the liberation of the 60s, Flower Power and fighting against the man, not to mention dancing naked in the moonlight. Noah doesn't get it, so she finally reveals the psychedelic tea was made by Timothy Leary himself. The kids lecture Tabby about being more careful and she laughs, "I should have learned that summer your mother took the brownies out of my freezer!" Then she promises to get rid of the tea, so the couple heads back upstairs. Tabby is impressed with her lies, but worried about Noah's fate.

As Theresa and Ethan make love, Ethan moans that it must be a dream or she must be a ghost. Theresa lets him believe it's a dream, while drugged Gwen wobbles in the doorway and struggles to understand what she's seeing. At first, she too thinks it's a dream, but then she thinks it must be a living Theresa here making love to her husband. She gasps, catching Theresa's attention, but then decides it's a vision and "my conscience punishing me." Theresa stares her in the eye and figures Gwen is too drugged out for her to worry about and eventually, a confused Gwen leaves. "What is wrong with me?" she asks herself and stumbles off. Theresa tells herself to live in the moment and forget about everything else but her and her true love. Afterwards, with Ethan passed out again, Theresa talks to him about the cruelty of fate and insists the risk tonight was worth it, even if he won't remember it. She falls asleep and when she opens her eyes, Ethan is staring at her. "Theresa, you're here. And alive," he whispers, amazed she's come back from the dead. He nods off, muttering that it can't be real. She tells him it's just a dream and that she wishes she were with him. She kisses him and they start making love again.

Pilar checks with Agent Anderson for news on Juanita. He has nothing new to report, but the call tells eavesdropping Juanita that he's the key to finding Pilar. She and her goon follow and when Anderson hears a noise behind him, he turns the gun on them! He tells Juanita she's going back to jail, but then his phone rings, startling him and giving Juanita a chance to escape. It's Pilar calling again, on worry overload now that Theresa is in fact alive. She flashes back to her argument with Theresa about her plan to drug Ethan and Gwen so she can have tonight with her true love. "Gwen may be evil, but she's not stupid," she mutters, just as Gwen stumbles into the room and slurs, "Pilar, Theresa is alive." Gwen tries to convince Pilar and points her to the love session going on upstairs, but Pilar counters, "Theresa is dead and it's all your fault." Gwen actually looks guilty, but then says she never put Theresa on that plane to Mexico and that it doesn't matter anyway, since Theresa isn't dead. Pilar tries telling her she's drunk and senseless, so Gwen wants to drag her upstairs to show her. Pilar insists her vision is a sign of her guilty conscience, but Gwen suddenly realizes Pilar wasn't surprised by her statement about seeing Theresa and thus she must be in on it. She sets upstairs to get Theresa, but it isn't hard for Pilar to stop her. When Gwen admits she's not herself, Pilar demands she stop, which just makes Gwen more suspicious and insistent that Theresa is alive "for now, but not for long." She pushes Pilar aside and falls up the stairs.

With the agent on their tails, Juanita steps aside, but pushes her lackey back into Anderson's path! Her goon runs and the agent follows, leaving her free to follow the agent. Eventually, Juanita has the agent at gunpoint. "Will you take me to Pilar, or will you die?" she asks.
