(Ivy walks into the living room)
Ivy: Ethan?
Ethan: Oh hey mother.
Ivy: You look worn out.
Ethan: Well I fell worn out mother, I'm beat.
Ivy: What did I miss?
Ethan: Gwen and Theresa were going at it again.
Ivy: What did Terrosita do this time?
Ethan: Apparently gwen and Theresa were fighting over computer disks.
Ivy: Disks of what?
Ethan: Theresa claims the disks contained proof on that Gwen was the one who outed my paternity to the tabloids.
Ivy: Oh please, all that conniving she devil does is lie.
Ethan: Mother...
(Gwen walks up unseen and eavesdrops on Ethan and
Ivy)
Ivy: It's true Ethan and you know it. She has lied to you over and over again, it's like Theresa has this incabability to tell the truth.
Gwen(talking to herself): You tell him Ivy.
Ethan: She put her arm in a burning incinerator to save those disks. If Theresa were lying then she wouldn't have done that.
Gwen: Ugh, damn it Ethan. No matter what Theresa does you always try to think the best of her. When will you ever leran?
Ivy: This is Theresa we're talking about. The girl is insane, she never thinks rationally.
Ethan: Even so...
Ivy: Well what was on the disks?
Ethan: I don't know, Gwen burned them before anyone saw them.
Gwen: Thank god I destroyed those disks. Now there is no way Theresa can prove I did anything. Ethan is mine, forever.
Ivy: What? Why?
Ethan: Gwen said that those disks were documentation of her mother's sexual escapades.
Ivy: Eww, well we all know Rebecca.
Ethan: Yeah we do, but...
Ivy: There is no but, Gwen is telling you the truth. She has loved you since you were kids and unlike Theresa has never lied to you.
Ethan: You're right, you are absolutely right mother. Gwen is my wife and I trust you completely.
Ivy: I knew you were my smart son.
Ethan: Oh are you saying Fox isn't? I know he has a bad track record, but I truly think he's changed.
Ivy: It's the present, not the past that I'm referring to.
Ethan: What did I miss?
Ivy: Fox has been seeing Kay and now he's decided to mix business with pleasure.
Ethan: My half sister, Kay? That's great.
Ivy: No, no there is nothing great about Kay Bennett.
Ethan: Well it sounds like Fox must like Kay.
Ivy: I like dogs. but it doesn't mean I am going to go to the pound and buy one.
Ethan: Mother I think you're getting ay in over your head here. What is wrong with Fox seeing Kay.
Ivy: Kay Bennett is no good for him, she is just bad news.
Ethan: What I've known of Kay is she's a very sweet girl.
Ivy: You have to read beneath the surface Ethan. Of course she comes off as sweet and innocent like Theresa did a while back, but then turned out to be a living nightmare.
Ethan: Mother enough, okay? I
won't have you talk about the mother of my child like that.
(Gwen rolls her
eyes)
Gwen: Jane is my baby, not Theresa's.
Ivy: Ugh!
Ethan: Maybe back in the day Kay was a troubled teen girl. Now she has matured into a responsible young woman. She's a loving and devoted mother to Maria.
Ivy: I know it's not in you to see bad in anyone.
Gwen: Don't I know it and thank god for that.
Ethan: You're not going to meddle in Fox's love life are you?
Ivy: No of course not.
Ethan: Good.
Ivy(thinking to herself): I will just make sure Kay Bennett is not
a part of Fox's life. I don't care if I have to completely and utterly destroy
her to do so.
(Gwen walks in)
Gwen: Honey, what's going on?
Ethan: We were just talking.
Gwen: We need to talk.
Ivy: I'll leave you two alone.
Gwen: No Ivy, please stay. You should be here for this.
Ethan: Sounds serious.
Gwen: It's Theresa, Ethan you saw how she attacked me earlier.
Ivy: Oh my god, Theresa attacked you. Ethan you didn't say...
Ethan: Theresa and Gwen were struggling.
Gwen: You have got to be kidding me, you're going to defend her now. The woman is unbalanced, unstable, delusional.
Ethan: Gwen...
Ivy: I'm with Gwen, Theresa is crazy.
Gwen: My point exactly and she should never be allowed alone with Jane.
Ethan: I won't keep Jane from her mother.
Gwen: In the eyes of the law I am Jane's mother.
Ethan: Theresa is her birth mother.
Ivy: Yeah because nit wit drugged and seduced you.
Gwen: Need I remind you Ethan that Theresa raped you. Jane was created out of a warped sick obsession of Theresa's.
Ethan: I can't do it. I can't keep a mother from her child.
Gwen: Theresa has abused that child, is that the kind of mother you want for your daughter.
Ethan: Theresa has never hurt Jnae, she would never hurt a child.
Gwen: Maybe not physically, but she would emotionally. She has over and over again.
Ethan: Theresa may do crazy things, but she loves Jane and would never hurt her.
Gwen: Are you sure about that?You said yourself Ethan the girl is manic, she's wreckless.
Ivy: Gwen is right Ethan. Need I remind you of all Theresa has done to you. She has wrecked havoc on your life since the day you met her.
Ethan: Mother, don't dredge up the past.
Gwen: The present is what matters. Jane and her future is what's important here.
Ethan: My daughter's happiness is my top priority.
Gwen: Mine too.
Ivy: We all want what is best for that little girl.
Ethan: What is best for Jane is to have her mother in her life.
Gwen: Jane has me and you know how much I love her.
Ethan: Yes I do know, but Theresa is her mother.
Gwen: Yeah because she drugged and raped you. Theresa made it so I could never be a mother.
Ethan: No, that's not what happened.
Gwen: Ethan, don't you dare defend her now.
Ivy: Look Ethan Gwen is right. Theresa should not be allowed alone with Jane ever again. She will ruin that child's life just like she ruined yours.
Ethan: Mother I have to do what's best for my daughter here. And if I keep Jane from her mother she would grow to hate me for it.
Gwen: Ethan are you really worried about Jane's feelings or Theresa?
Ethan: I am not going to do this with you again.
Ivy(thinking to herself): Ugh, damn you Theresa. Will Ethan ever be free of the spell you put on him?
Coming: A huge shocker that rocks Harmony to it's core!
